Chapter 664: Non-technological means
No wonder the young master said that there was a deep connection between him and her. It turns out that there was such a connection.
Such a special experience was beyond his expectations.
What's even more terrifying is that Qin Lang has no ability to resist all this.
He took two quick steps to catch up with Tu Huan.
From time to time, he would reach out to support her when she stumbled due to slippery feet.
Tu Huan: "Thank you."
"We're being polite, aren't we?" Qin Lang smiled faintly.
Now his whole body was enveloped in warmth from the inside out, and his body and mind felt comfortable. Going into the mountains to look for people was not as difficult as he had imagined before.
"I see what Third Brother is saying. Yuanying keeps saying that only you can find the person." Qin Lang raised his eyes and quickly glanced at the people in front of him. He whispered to Tu Huan, "After a while, when they can't make up their minds, they will definitely come to ask for your opinion. What do you think?"
Tu Huan slowed down her pace and looked down at the road. "What's your idea?"
"I'm asking you, do you want to take care of it later?" Qin Lang made his words clearer.
Tu Huan said without hesitation: "Save people, of course I care."
In fact, before she entered the mountain, she had secretly kept the virtual screen open. On the one hand, she kept an eye on Xie Yuchuan's condition from time to time, and on the other hand, she wanted the system to search the surrounding area for the situation of Li Yuanxiao and Qin Jian and others.
However, the system refused for the first time.
[Host, the spiritual energy in this mountain range is rich, so it's best not to cause any fluctuations. Furthermore, the system update has reached a critical juncture. Sorry, I can't use the remaining energy for other purposes.]
In order to successfully rebuild a new bridge between the two worlds, the system flatly rejected Tu Huan this time.
Tu Huan was helpless. She knew that what the system was doing now was indeed more important than anything else.
However, the system did not completely fail to provide suggestions. After all, it was the host who asked for it, so it still pushed several convenient and practical functions in the modern world to Tu Huan as a backup.
Tu Huan silently reached into her coat pocket, took out a high-tech watch from her "system backpack", and put it on her wrist.
Following the operating instructions on the virtual screen, he turned on the watch's all-round search and positioning function, entered specific commands, and lowered his sleeves.
Qin Lang was focused on something else before and didn't notice Tu Huan's situation.
Tu Huan didn't mention it either.
Now, Qin Lang was worried about her, fearing that Xie Huailou would stare at her and make her feel embarrassed.
She pondered for a moment and said, "Do you think that given Li Yuanxiao's ability, he would dare to go into the mountains alone? Would he get into trouble so easily?"
Qin Lang helped her as they walked and said, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"nonsense."
I don’t know if the two of them had just experienced a special “journey” together and established a little bit of revolutionary friendship, but their relationship is much closer than before.
Qin Lang chuckled twice. "Given Li Yuanxiao's ability to communicate with the ancestors of the Li family, I don't think it's possible for him to get into trouble in this mountain. Otherwise, the Li family is so weak, and the incense would have died out after so many years. The most likely possibility, I guess, is that he encountered some unexpected situation. What do you think?"
"For people like you who are always adventuring in the wild, do such accidents happen often?" Tu Huan did not answer directly but asked another question.
Qin Lang thought for a moment, his face becoming more serious. "Not much, actually."
Tu Huan: "Oh."
Qin Lang continued, "The mountains on this side of Changshan are somewhat special. When our old man was still alive, he said that after Changshan closes in winter, you shouldn't go into the mountains unless it's absolutely necessary."
"Why?"
For some reason, Tu Huan really wanted to know more about the information here, as if she should listen more.
Qin Lang helped her cross a deep pit, and after she was okay, he explained, "It's not suitable."
"The old man said that closing the mountain is firstly to follow the laws of nature. All things go back to hiding in winter, and it's best for outsiders not to disturb the creatures within, which will please the mountain gods. Secondly, it's a bit mysterious. The old man mentioned that after the mountain is closed, there are many mysterious things in the mountains, and if you accidentally stray into the deep forest, you might get lost and unable to get out."
Tu Huan: "So that's how it is."
She lowered her head and glanced at the "watch" on her wrist to see if there was any unusual movement.
No abnormal prompts.
Qin Lang nodded and said, "The Lei family's ancestral home is from Xinglin. There are more deep mountains and old forests over there. I heard that last century, members of the clan went into the old forests to help with the war, and few came out."
"I'm afraid that this is what happened to the young master and Li Yuanxiao." He pointed at Xie Huailou in front of him, "I even suspect that this group of people was borrowed by Third Brother and Lei Jin."
Upon hearing this, Tu Huan looked up and observed the people traveling with her. Indeed, most of them had local accents.
After Qin Lang finished speaking, he looked at Tu Huan deliberately.
"What's wrong?" Tu Huan asked.
"I was wondering why Yuanying insisted that you could do it."
Tu Huan:?
Qin Lang clapped his hands lightly and whispered, "She said that this matter needs you to do it, which means that if Third Brother and the others continue with their current approach, they will definitely not succeed."
The two of them looked at the people in front of them who were following the map to find the traces of Li Yuanxiao entering the mountain.
Qin Lang lowered his voice and said, "Tu Huan, I know you have a lot of secrets. It's hard to expose them now that there are so many people around. So, let me cover for you. If you find out something later and it's not convenient to tell me directly, just give me a look and I'll take the lead."
Tu Huan looked back at his serious expression and couldn't help laughing.
"Don't just laugh, I'm serious."
It's true, it's rare for him to be so serious about being a good person, and she still smiles.
"I know. Thank you."
"Hey, you're always so polite. Isn't that a bit too formal?" Qin Lang waved casually, looked around, lowered his head and asked curiously, "We've been walking for most of the day and haven't made any progress. Look at them carrying a lot of equipment, but we haven't found their signal yet. What about you?"
Tu Huan: "Hmm?"
Qin Lang: "If I ask you to find someone, how would you do it?"
Tu Huan: “…”
Qin Lang: “?”
Tu Huan: "Aren't we all looking for it together?"
Qin Lang: "I have a feeling that you will have to take action in the end. How about you try your hand now?"
Tu Huan was stunned for a moment, "Me?"
"Yeah." Qin Lang nodded. "It would be better if we could find the person sooner."
Tu Huan turned her head and looked forward. The next second, a big hand held her head and she met Qin Lang's pair of bright black eyes.
"Don't worry about them, I trust you more!"
Ahead, Xie Huailuo, who had tried two routes and could no longer find any marks left by previous travelers, discussed with Pan Lin and Xu Xiaodong to rest for five minutes and then try searching again using advanced technology.
A group of people over there had just set up their technological equipment. Xie Huailou remembered Tu Huan who had come with them. He turned around and was about to look for someone when he saw his good friend Qin Lang and her. The two of them were standing together in an "intimate" manner.
A pair of sword-like eyebrows were frowned uncomfortably.
He stared at the two of them with his deep black eyes for a long while, but still couldn't help but call out to them.
"What do you think?"
Qin Lang turned his head to look at him, then looked at the people around Xie Huailou, and thought to himself, he didn't have any ideas. He was just trying to coax Tu Huan, the hidden boss, and use some metaphysical means in special circumstances.
Xie Huailou doesn't understand anything!
Qin Lang turned around and was about to say something else when he suddenly heard a series of "beep, beep, beep" sounds coming from Tu Huan's wrist.
Tu Huan raised her wrist, rolled up her sleeves, and turned off the sound. Sure enough, she saw a bunch of black dots and two red dots not far apart on the special watch dial, flashing regularly.
Tu Huan and Qin Lang were both shocked.
It’s a little late to update, but luckily I finally caught up.
