Volume 1: Mountains and Rivers of Light Chapter 11 The Winding Path
In the dark corridor, there was only a little moonlight shining through, providing a negligible amount of light.
Ji Yuan showed a smile. He stepped aside and pulled Song He to make way for him. He looked at the two people in front of him with cold eyes, indicating that they could leave at any time.
"Little Taoist Priest, there are many ghosts here. We can both benefit from joining forces. If we separate, we may be in danger of our lives!"
The stern man narrowed his eyes and seemed to be trying to persuade him, but the context was filled with coldness.
Next to him, Song He frowned slightly, and anger welled up in his heart. He felt that the person in front of him was probably out of his mind. He was sick. He was hiding everything and refused to say anything. He expected them to trust him, even though so many ghosts were looking around him.
Traveling together?
Could it be that the so-called decent disciples of famous families are all such ‘naive’ people?
In fact, he is just a fool with a skin thicker than the city wall, who thinks that his actions are thoughtful and flawless.
Compared to the young Taoist who made no secret of his emotions and anger, Ji Yuan seemed calmer. He just looked at the person in front of him expressionlessly and had no intention of answering.
However, the palm covered by the sleeve robe has been quietly placed on the belt, and he can pull out the well-hidden soft sword at any time.
"In this case, please ask the Taoist Priest to bring out some talismans so that my junior sister and I will not be helpless when facing many ghosts."
After a moment of silence, a murderous intent suddenly appeared in the stern man's eyes.
He glanced at the two people in front of him, and secretly exerted force on the hilt of the sword. His energy was already charged up, and anyone could see that this person could act violently and hurt someone at any time.
Although he had expected it, Ji Yuan did not expect that this man could be so shameless. He said such words without blushing and his heart did not beat. He was actually a little angry and laughed at the moment.
It seems that the other party really thinks that he is strong enough to easily control them?
The little Taoist priest shook his head in his heart, turned around and left directly. He had already dismissed the few words about this place from this person's mouth. If he had the time, he might as well think about how to escape from here.
Song He glanced at the stern man coldly, with a meaningful smile on his lips, and then followed Ji Yuan along the veranda without looking back.
"Those two idiots are coming up."
The young Taoist reminded in a low voice, with a bit of disdain in his words.
Hearing this, Ji Yuan's eyebrows moved slightly, he glanced at Song He beside him, and then said softly: "Ignore it."
If that Li Mufeng was here, or if there were more than three senior fellow apprentices on the other side, not counting the domineering and outspoken girl, then he would really have to be wary.
But now there are only two people on the other side. Even if there is no Song He, the little Taoist priest doesn't feel that if there is a real fight, he will definitely lose.
Moreover, at this time, he may not have had the same idea as the other party earlier, and wanted to use these two people as pathfinding chess pieces to avoid some dangerous situations that he was not aware of.
There is no doubt that this stern man must know some inside information, and he may even know clearly the true identity of the ghosts here and so on.
Since he was unwilling to reveal anything, and it was this trick that determined their stance, it was no wonder that Ji Yuan took advantage of the situation and used the ghosts here to test.
As for whether the other party will be put in danger or even lose their wealth and life during this process, it can only depend on their luck.
He is not a Confucian saint, and he cannot repay kindness with kindness. Since the other party originally wanted to use him as a pathfinding pawn, regardless of the safety of his life, and was unwilling to tell the truth until now, it is no wonder that he responded in kind.
Same method.
"Um?"
Ji Yuan had just made up his mind when he suddenly felt a strange feeling.
But before he could take a closer look, as he stepped into the courtyard door in front of him, the scene around him immediately changed. What was supposed to be an elegant courtyard turned into a winding path in an instant.
On both sides of the trail, every ten steps or so, there is an old tree with cracked bark and bare branches. Looking at it under the moonlight makes people feel a little chilly.
At the end of the winding path, you can vaguely see a small cabin shrouded in moonlight and gloom.
At this time, Song He was standing next to him, looking across the winding path upwards and landing on the small cabin lit by faint candlelight.
After a quick glance, Ji Yuan quickly retracted his gaze, and then turned around to look. Unexpectedly, the veranda that should have been behind him had disappeared, leaving only a quiet path filled with white mist.
After a few breaths, as the white mist rolled, the stern man and the girl walked out one after another. After a brief period of confusion, they looked around with stunned expressions.
"Why is this so?"
The stern man suddenly asked, with a hint of chill in his words.
He frowned and looked at Ji Yuan, who was not far away. Unexpectedly, the other party seemed to have ignored his question and was still looking at the surrounding environment.
Seeing this scene, an angry look appeared on the face of the stern man, but after weighing it for a while in his heart, he suppressed the intention of taking action in anger, snorted coldly, turned around and strode into the white mist behind him with his junior sister.
It's just that the two of them walked into the white mist, and then walked out of it. In just a blink of an eye, they were back to where they were originally standing.
The stern man did not believe in evil and did not even greet the junior sister beside him. He turned around and walked into the white mist again in silence. However, no matter how many times he tried, the final result was not different.
And these few attempts also caused his face to become completely gloomy, and his body exuded a bit of murderous aura.
"It seems we can only move forward."
Song He glanced back at the stern man who was on the verge of breaking out, and then spoke out.
Hearing this, Ji Yuan nodded slightly, and the two people proved with their actions that it was impossible to go back.
He turned around and looked at the winding road in front of him again, but he still didn't take a step. After all, no matter how he looked at it, what happened at this time was too weird. To say that there was no problem at all, even if he was young,
Not even the children would believe it.
"Let's go."
After weighing it for a while, Ji Yuan could only sigh helplessly.
Since the ghost entrenched here deliberately led them to this trail, if they don't follow the other party's ideas, who knows what other incalculable things will happen.
The only solution for now is to take one step at a time to see what the other party is planning.
So after sighing, Ji Yuan took the lead and walked onto the winding path in front of him. As he stepped onto the stairs made of stones, a cold breeze blew inexplicably.
The stern man next to the white mist saw the figures of the little Taoist priest and the young Taoist walking farther and farther on the winding path. After a little hesitation, he hurriedly followed, but his expression was in a hurry, his eyes were anxious, and he even forgot to greet the junior sister beside him.
.
When the girl saw this, her face immediately showed anger. However, after taking a look around, she could only forcefully suppress her thoughts and silently followed behind the stern man. This chapter has been completed!
