I raised my head and looked towards the mountain. Wherever I looked, the night was as dark as day, the mountain road was twisting and turning, and there were indeed no people on the mottled stairs, not even a single one.
But I think it's normal. It's early spring after all, and it's late at night. The temperature is already low, and it's even more freezing on the mountain. No one should be bored enough to climb the mountain in the middle of the night.
Even if the sunrise is beautiful, it’s not worth it! Anyway, if it were me, I wouldn’t do this.
Qing Yi obviously noticed what I was thinking and said, "You must have never been to Mount Tai. It is common to go up the mountain late at night."
"Every day?" I asked curiously.
"That's not necessarily the case, most of them are like that!"
I couldn't help but fell into deep thought. To put it this way, it was indeed a bit unusual.
"By the way, you have King Gu in your body, so your eyesight should be much better than mine. Take a good look at the mountains and forests. Is there anything unusual?" Qing Yi said.
I nodded, found a relatively high place, jumped up, and then observed carefully. After some exploration, I found no one.
"If I guessed correctly, someone should have helped us clear the place!" Qing Yi said.
Qing Yi's words are not unreasonable. If this is true, it means that my whereabouts have been exposed.
As I thought about it, I felt a little guilty, and even Mengniu looked at the fat man next to me.
"No, fat man, please do the math."
The fat man shook the turtle shell in his hand and said, "I've already given up on it."
I immediately became energetic and said, "Hurry up and tell me!"
The fat man slowly picked his chin and asked, "I'm not sure. I took the test twice and got two results. Which one do you want to hear?"
"Two results?"
I was immediately confused, "Good luck is good and bad news is bad. How can there be two results?"
"Hey, you are really right. The two results were good and bad, and I was helpless!" As the fat man spoke, he patted his shiny forehead.
I subconsciously looked at Qing Yi, wanting to hear his opinion.
Qing Yi frowned slightly, then without saying anything, he took out two yellow paper cranes from his Taoist robe, handed them to me, and said "Drip blood."
I didn't dare to be careless, so I quickly pricked my finger with a needle and put a drop of blood on the two paper cranes.
As soon as the red blood came into contact with the paper crane, it was absorbed instantly, leaving only a faint red trace.
"It's too little. The blood needs to be drawn through! Let me help you."
Before Qing Yi finished speaking, a cold light flashed in front of me. I suddenly felt my fingers go cold. Qing Yi's sword had already left a deep wound on my finger.
In an instant, blood flowed like a gush. I didn't want to waste it, so I quickly dripped the blood on the yellow paper cranes. Only after the two paper cranes were dyed blood red, Qing Yi nodded with satisfaction.
I saw him making a hand gesture and muttering words in his mouth. The two paper cranes suddenly exuded a strong blood energy, and the two paper cranes seemed to come to life.
I was slightly surprised. Qing Yi's method was really powerful. Although it was different from my method of controlling the paper figures, it was obviously better than mine.
Then he saw Qing Yi's handprints change, and he pointed into a sword and pointed towards the top of the mountain, "Go!"
Immediately following my words, one of the red paper cranes flapped its wings, and a moment later it really flew. After leaving my palm, it flew towards the top of the mountain.
Qing Yi gave another order and pointed in another direction, and the remaining paper crane flew in response and disappeared from our sight in the blink of an eye.
"This paper crane has your blood and is equivalent to your substitute. If there is anything fishy on this mountain, you will know once you try it!"
I nodded, this was indeed a good idea, but if the first paper crane was asking for directions by throwing stones, then the second one was somewhat incomprehensible.
Qing Yi said calmly: "There are two ways to climb to the top of Jade Emperor Peak. You can walk this way, and you can take the cable car in that direction. I want to try them both."
After hearing what he said, I finally understood. I thought I had to walk up the mountain, but now it’s better. If there is a tram to ride on, it will indeed save a lot of time.
Next, I just waited patiently, waiting for the paper crane to fly back. During this process, no one came up from the bottom of the mountain, not a single person, which made me more and more worried.
I don't know how long it took, but Qing Yi, who was sitting on the stone steps with his eyes closed and concentrating, suddenly opened his eyes, a cold light burst out from his eyes, and he suddenly looked towards the top of the mountain.
"What's wrong?" I asked quickly.
"The paper crane is broken!" Qing Yi frowned and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, his expression changed again, and he suddenly turned his head to look in another direction, his eyes becoming gloomier little by little.
From the look on his face, I knew something was wrong with the other paper crane.
"Wait for me at the foot of the mountain!"
Before Qing Yi finished speaking, he had already stepped onto the stone steps and flew upwards at a very fast speed. The steep steps were like flat ground under his feet, and his whole person turned into a ghost in the dark night.
"Yangzi, should we follow?" the fat man asked quickly.
I shook my head gently. Since Qingyi wouldn't let me go up, he had his reasons.
But I wasn't idle either. I pointed in the other direction without saying anything.
"Go for it!"
The little thing connected with my mind, and instantly flew out of my body, turned into a golden light, and shot into the distance. The speed was far beyond that of a paper crane, and it disappeared from the end of sight in the blink of an eye.
However, the picture in my mind did not change. I closed my eyes slightly and shared the picture sent back by the little thing.
The mountains and forests quickly passed by underfoot, and no unusual miracles were discovered in the process.
Soon, the little thing found the cable leading to the top of the mountain on the other side. Without saying a word, it flew directly along the cable to the top of the mountain, but the speed slowed down.
As it was flying, the little thing stopped, and its eyes rested on a cable car, and on the roof of the cable car, there was a bloody paper crane.
There is something wrong with this cable car!
Through the little things, I locked onto this cable car instantly.
As the little thing kept getting closer, the entire cable car was in full view. Once inspected, there seemed to be nothing unusual on the surface.
But the moment the little thing landed, I could feel a strong yin energy.
Sure enough there is a problem!
It's a pity that the thing that destroyed the paper crane just now is gone.
Looks very cunning!
After a slight hesitation, I gave up the plan of letting the little thing climb to the top.
Before the situation is clear, there are huge variables in everything. Although the little thing is domineering, it is not invincible yet. I am afraid that something unexpected will happen to him, and more importantly, I don't want it to be exposed too early.
Soon, the little thing returned at my command and placed the paper crane in my palm.
At this moment, there was a sharp pain in the palm of my hand.
Only then did I realize that the red paper crane was riddled with holes, as if it had been corroded by acid rain.
The strangest thing is that the originally red paper crane turned black at this moment, as if it had been soaked in ink.
"WTF?"
Seeing the paper crane in front of me, I felt a little frightened.
The fat man also came over, and when he took a look, he suddenly showed an incredible expression.
"Why did it change color?"
He stretched out his hand to pick up the paper crane. The moment he touched it, he suddenly screamed, as if he was electrocuted.
"Hey, it hurts..."
The fat man shook off his wrist as best he could, and then rubbed it vigorously. Only then did he feel relieved, and asked quickly:
"Yangzi, what's going on? What did you do?"
"I don't know, I've never seen it." I shook my head with an ugly expression.
Evil energy can corrode flesh and blood, but it is not so powerful. What on earth is this?
It seems that all we can do is wait for Qing Yi to come down and ask him.
Who knew that after waiting for more than an hour, there was still no sign of Qing Yi on the mountain peak.
According to his speed, it shouldn't be!
Could it be that we encountered some danger?
Just when I was getting a little anxious, the familiar figure of Qing Yi finally appeared in my sight.
