"What?" Lin Chen's eyes turned gentle and met the girl's confused eyes.
"Did you already think of a way to escape before we were hunted down?" Su Yun asked with a trace of wonder in his eyes, "You asked me if that road was the way we came from.
Did you plan that our car would rush down the cliff on that winding mountain road?"
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Good boy, you noticed it. Well, I remember when we guys got out of the car to relieve ourselves, I accidentally discovered a pool under the cliff, and I thought of it in a hurry.
Even if we try this method, there is actually no other way.”
Su Yun was surprised that at such a high distance, Lin Chen could actually see a lake at the bottom of the mountain. It was incredible, and under such circumstances, he could still think and judge so calmly.
However, there were so many outstanding qualities from Lin Chen today that she didn't want to ask so carefully.
"So, who are those people who are chasing us? If I read correctly, there is a person who is flying in the sky on a sword." This is what really shocked Su Yun. These will only be shown in the movie.
The scenes that appeared in it actually happened in reality.
Lin Chen's eyes darkened, and after thinking for a while, he said, "They are cultivators, a being whose power is superior to humans. Ordinary humans cannot be their opponents."
Su Yun thought about Lin Chen's words, and then asked cautiously, "In other words, are they... gods?"
Lin Chen said, "The ultimate goal of these people is to become immortals, but they are still one step away from being immortals. Strictly speaking, they are still mortals, just one level above ordinary people."
Su Yun seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand. She was very tired and didn't want to think about so many incomprehensible things anymore, so she leaned gently into Lin Chen's arms.
No matter what, having this man by my side is enough.
After searching around, Lin Chen finally found a hidden cave on a mountain wall that could lead to the outside. The two of them were extremely surprised. Since there is a way out, they can definitely get out of this deep mountain and return to the city.
.
Su Yun lay on Lin Chen's back. Because his body had not recovered from the paralysis effect of the toxin, he had to be carried on Lin Chen's back for the rest of the way. Fortunately, Lin Chen's physique was different from that of ordinary people, so he had to carry a person on his back.
Can also walk as fast as flying,
Just like this, they traveled during the day and found a sheltered place to sleep and rest at night. Lin Chen would catch some hares, pheasants and other small animals every day, roast them brown on the bonfire at night, and feed them to the two of them. After a few days, Su Yun's
The body gradually recovered, but because the two of them didn't know which way out of the mountain was, they just had to keep walking in one direction.
In the evening of that day, Lin Chen and Su Yun waded across a stream and suddenly saw several rooftops vaguely exposed among the trees in the distance.
When they found a place where people lived, they were both extremely surprised and ran over quickly. When they got closer, they discovered that this was a village located in the mountains. Looking at it, there were about dozens of households, and it was a medium-sized village.
After walking in the deep mountains and old forests for so long, sleeping in the open air every day, although both of them had rich experience in surviving in the wild, it became unbearable for a long time, especially Su Yun, a girl who had not bathed for several days in a row.
I feel a little disgusted with myself.
The two walked into the village. The surrounding houses were scattered here and there, with the ground paved with bluestone slabs under their feet. However, they found that not a single person could be seen in the entire village.
It was almost evening now, so all the mountain residents must have gone home to have dinner. Lin Chen immediately walked to the door of a house and knocked on the door. After waiting for a long time, no one came out.
After knocking on the doors of several more houses, the situation was the same. Lin Chen couldn't help but wonder, is there no one living in this village? Is it an uninhabited village that has long been deserted?
Su Yun pulled him gently, and then pointed to the side. Lin Chen saw smoke rising from the chimney on the roof of a house. He immediately understood that it was not that there was no one in the village, but that everyone was hiding at home, unwilling to
Show up.
Lin Chen frowned, these mountain people were too unhospitable. He was not a robber, so why should he be so hiding? He was about to step forward and kick a house open to ask what was going on, but he was dragged away by Su Yun.
live.
"Don't be impulsive. These mountain people may have been isolated here for a long time. They have never seen a stranger and are a little scared. Since they don't want to take in outsiders, we will just spend the night here." Su Yun said, "Wait until tomorrow.
Early in the morning, I'll find someone to ask about the way out of the mountain."
Lin Chen thought for a while and had no choice but to agree, so the two of them ate some prepared dry food on the threshing floor in the village, leaned on the wheat stacks, and prepared to rest for the night.
In the middle of the night, Lin Chen suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums, and woke up immediately. He was surprised to find that there was a faint fire coming from the village in the distance. Su Yun also woke up and saw the red people.
Sky, the two of them looked at each other, feeling very surprised. What did these mountain people want to do when they came out in the middle of the night?
So the two of them were curious and sneaked over to find out. Following the light of the fire and the sound of gongs, the two gradually approached and saw a large group of mountain people gathering in a large open space in front of them.
They all held torches in their hands. By the light of the fire, Lin Chen discovered that there was a temple standing against the mountain in the clearing. It seemed to be something like a mountain temple. These mountain people gathered in front of the mountain temple late at night, but they didn't know what they were going to do.
Lin Chen was curious when Su Yun suddenly grabbed his clothes tightly and pointed to the front of the mountain temple. Lin Chen looked over and was startled. He saw a wooden stake inserted in the center of the open space and stacked underneath.
There was a large pile of dry firewood, and on the wooden stake, there was a small body tied to it, but it was a little girl wearing white clothes.
When Lin Chen saw this scene, he was surprised. Could it be that these mountain people wanted to burn this little girl to death? At this time, he only heard an old man murmuring words, but what he said could not be heard clearly. It seemed that he was worshiping gods and praying.
, the villagers all lowered their heads, and everyone looked respectful.
Su Yun hurriedly whispered in Lin Chen's ear, "No, we have to save this child. These mountain people must be practicing some kind of feudal superstition. This will kill people."
Lin Chen did not speak. This scene was undoubtedly very confusing in the eyes of ordinary people, but Lin Chen knew that in ancient times, people often used the method of burning to kill some demons and spirits to ensure peace. For example, in a village where people often died, the villagers would
A Taoist priest will be asked to practice it, and the final conclusion is that a century-old corpse is causing trouble, so it will be burned.
