After saying this, many people laughed. Suddenly everyone's eyes dimmed and they entered the mountain pass without realizing it.
As soon as they entered the mountain pass, everyone suddenly remembered that the enemy was running at the front and could encounter the patrol experts sent from the luxurious mansion at any time, so they all heightened their vigilance.
Climbing a horizontal ridge, the view is not only wider, but the light is much brighter than before.
Nangong Haotian and others looked at it and saw only the jagged peaks and ridges of Tuotuo Mountain and the dense forest. They couldn't see where the luxurious manor was.
After seeing this situation, Shangguan Xiaowan speculated: "I think that manor house may still be in the depths!"
Liu Qianwen judged: "According to what the shop boy said, it is a luxurious mansion. It must be a high-rise building with high pavilions and jingshes. It should not be difficult to find..."
Chu Meng hurriedly said: "Sister Qianwen is right. Since such a large manor house must have a large population, although the night is very deep, there will inevitably be a little light. Let's climb up a high cliff and look around.
It will definitely be discovered.”
Because Chu Meng said a few words in this local dialect at the door of the inn, he had successfully sent the horse, and everyone's impression of Chu Meng has been greatly improved.
Seeing that what she said made sense, they all nodded in agreement.
Chu Meng secretly snickered at Nangong Haotian, who had been silent all this time. Nangong Haotian could only shake his head and smile bitterly, but in his heart he was very touched by Chu Meng's efforts.
At the same time, a group of eight people continued to move forward, speeding directly towards the convex cliff under a central peak.
When they arrived at the foot of the cliff, everyone kept moving and jumped up one after another. They climbed onto the cliff and looked around in all directions, hoping to discover the luxurious and vast manor as soon as possible.
However, everyone looked at it for a long time and still found nothing!
I saw trees all over the mountain, their branches swaying and their leaves moving, and the valley was completely dark. There was no shadow of a roof or building anywhere, not even a spark or two.
"Could we have been deceived?" Xue Bing'er said angrily.
"Absolutely not, even the shop boy knows that there is a Dazhuangyuan in Tuotuo Mountain!" Liu Qianwen shook her head and said.
"The shop boy didn't just listen to other people's legends!" Xue Bing'er said still unhappy.
Nangong Haotian lowered his voice and said: "Since there is this legend, it will never be any worse!"
"I wish I had discovered it earlier..." Xue Bing'er snorted and said, "Look, there's not even a shadow of a room!"
Nangong Haotian shook his head, knowing that Xue Bing'er was worried about Master Tianwai's comfort, so he comforted him and said: "Don't panic, you will always find it. Even if you can't find it now, you will find it after dawn!"
Zhao Ling'er complained: "I should have asked Mrs. Niu to ask those shop boys just now!"
"Yes..." Aunt Shan said in agreement: "They live on the edge of the mountain, they must know."
Chu Meng hurriedly explained: "I thought about it at the time, but I was afraid that if I inquired, we would be exposed!"
After finishing speaking, Shangguan Xiaowan's eyes suddenly lit up, she raised her hand and pointed, and whispered: "Look there, there seems to be a light!"
Everyone was refreshed after hearing this. They all followed Shangguan Xiaowan's direction and asked in unison: "Where is it?"
Shangguan Xiaowan pointed and said, "Look, under the short peak in front, there seem to be two arched sloping ridges on the left and right, one large and one small. In the vast shallow valley in the center, there was a faint light flashing just now.
!”
Everyone watched for a while, but although they discovered the dark shallow valley of the basin, they didn't see any lights.
Aunt Shan said humorously: "My aunt, is it a will-o'-the-wisp?"
Shangguan Xiaowan said firmly: "That's right, I can see it clearly!"
Since it was Shangguan Xiaowan who discovered the light, even though no one saw anything, they couldn't say anything. Naturally, Nangong Haotian believed in Shangguan Xiaowan and planned to use the Netherworld Demonic Eyes to see if it was possible.
Just then, another gust of cold wind blew!
Suddenly, everyone's eyes lit up and they said in unison: "Really, there are really lights there!"
At this time, everyone understood that there must be a big tree whose top blocked the weak light. The wind blew the top of the tree, so it appeared.
Nangong Haotian smiled. It seemed that his secret could continue to be kept secret, so he urged: "Then let's go quickly!"
This time, no one objected, and they all followed Nangong Haotian down the cliff. With excitement, they hurried towards the weak light.
Everyone walked through the woods and ridges, getting closer and closer to the shallow valley.
However, everyone's expressions became more and more confused the further they advanced, and the more they advanced, the more disappointed they became.
Because, in that shallow valley, not only the high attic is not visible, but also not even a high gate tower, let alone the vast courtyard with the jingshe and the clouds.
The galloping Nangong Haotian, who was running at the front, first slowed down and said disappointedly: "Maybe that's not the luxurious manor we are looking for?"
"Maybe it's a woodcutter or hunter in the mountains!" Shangguan Xiaowan also said disappointedly.
The old head encouraged: "Since I'm here, I have to go ahead and ask around."
Having said this, Zhao Ling'er, Liu Qianwen, and Aunt Shan all agreed to go and inquire.
Nangong Haotian said hesitantly: "It feels inappropriate to disturb others like this!"
Aunt Shan replied: "Let's give them more money!"
"It disturbs people's dreams, makes people annoying, and they are likely to embarrass us!" Shangguan Xiaowan rarely agreed with Nangong Haotian for once, and said disapprovingly.
While talking, everyone stopped.
Seeing that he had lost his target again, Zhao Ling'er said rather unhappily: "We can't run blindly all over the mountain like this!"
Nangong Haotian lowered his head and thought for a while, then said helplessly: "Okay, let's go over first and see what happens."
After saying that, everyone continued to move forward.
Little did they know that not more than twenty feet away was the edge of the woods, and just seven or eight feet away from the edge was a fence made of tree branches and wooden piles.
The fence is not high, only reaching shoulder level. If you look forward, you can see everything inside the wall.
Nangong Haotian and others were all surprised. They were stunned for a moment, then ran to the wall and looked inside. They saw that the wall was covered with flowers and fruit trees, and there was a small pebble path between the fruit trees in the flower bed.
Looking deeper, there are several second-story wooden houses built a hundred feet away, because everyone can clearly see that the wooden houses that are higher than the flower trees are surrounded by a circle of railings.
The middle one is the longest, with at least five rooms, and the ones with proud lights are the two on the left.
The two wooden houses on the left and right are several feet apart. There seems to be a building behind them, but there are railings connecting these wooden houses to each other. They are probably all on the second floor.
Everyone looked at each other for a while and looked at each other. Liu Qianwen said hesitantly: "Looking at this posture, doesn't it look like a woodcutter or hunter?"
Shangguan Xiaowan hummed and said, "It's really like a place of pure cultivation for an outsider who has seen through the world."
"Huh?" Aunt Shan said as if she had some realization: "Didn't the boy in the shop say that a visitor to the village once told everyone that an extraordinary person lived there? Maybe it's here!"
When he said this, everyone's expressions and reactions were different. They seemed to have a feeling of returning home after a treasure trove, and they still stood still.
Seeing this, Nangong Haotian could only shrug helplessly, gently caressing the Ziyin Divine Sword, and said nothing. His eyes were deep and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit cold, the old man said solemnly: "As a master, you must be well-educated. Even if we disturb you late at night, the master won't mind. Maybe he can show us a way to follow!"
After saying this, Zhao Ling'er and others immediately agreed.
Of course, everyone was somewhat curious at this time, but one of the reasons was that everyone was worried that they would be on the wrong track again.
Liu Qianwen took a look and said: "If you want to go in and inquire, you have to find the door first. You can't break through the wall!"
Shangguan Xiaowan shifted his gaze, looked around and said: "According to the mountain topography, there is a short peak in the back and vertical ridges on the left and right. Chaimen should be on this side!"
Aunt Shan looked at Gutou and said, "Gutou, you look to the west, I'll look to the east!"
After saying that, we walked along the fence and headed east first.
Although Nangong Haotian and Shangguan Xiaowan also wanted to go in and inquire, they still felt a little uneasy in their hearts. Nangong Haotian's uneasiness was even worse. He always felt that his eyelids were twitching violently.
He stretched out his hand and gently touched the Ziyin Divine Sword on his back, and then looked at the little moon on his body, and then he made up his mind. If something really happened, his own strength should be able to withstand it.
The few people looked at the wooden houses again, but they were still quiet and motionless.
Shangguan Xiaowan was a little worried and said involuntarily: "It's really rude to disturb others so late at night."
Nangong Haotian was worried and said: "Then let's wait here and wait until dawn before going in!"
After finishing her words, Xue Bing'er glared at Nangong Haotian and said angrily: "Rescuing people is like putting out fire. You guys are so polite and follow the rules. When can we rescue grandpa?"
At this moment, twenty or thirty feet due east, Aunt Shan's excited greeting suddenly came, saying: "Young Master! The door is here!"
I think Aunt Shan was too excited. Her greeting in the middle of the night in the mountainous area might have spread a mile or two away and she would feel sorry for her.
Nangong Haotian was speechless. Isn't this what it was? He shook his head. He could only break the jar. He moved his shoulders and flew over.
Before she even reached her, she could already see Aunt Shan pointing at a firewood gate and smiling.
Nangong Haotian couldn't help but feel angry when he saw it. As soon as he got in front of him, he said in a deep voice: "Aunt Shan, how can you shout so loudly? Are you afraid that others won't know that we are coming?"
