Chapter 671: Rainbow Bridge at the Intersection of Time and Space
After wolfing down the dry food and water, my dizzy and dying body felt like it was filled with a warm current, and my stagnant life seemed to start flowing again.
Even breathing was not as difficult as before. The young man finally had the strength to raise his head and look at the people in front of him who had walked out of the thick fog. He did not dare to act rashly.
Because these people in strange clothes each have something that can emit light in their hands.
The fog faded away, and the faces of each of them appeared clearly before him.
The young mountain man looked around in a daze, and suddenly his whole body shuddered. He suddenly turned over and knelt on the ground, kowtowed one after another.
"I was wrong! I am guilty! I was so bold and ignorant that I broke into the blessed land of the immortals and violated their taboos. I deserve to die!"
The young man was so frightened that he kowtowed and apologized, which scared the group of people standing around him!
What immortal?
What apology?
How could they, a group of people who had followed their general through thick and thin and were protected by the Xie family's gods, have the qualifications to act like gods in front of others?!
It's so scary!
They all retreated, especially avoiding the direction where the young mountain man was kowtowing.
Several flashlights focused in the middle. Although the surrounding mountains and forests were still immersed in endless darkness, the place where the young man was kneeling was as bright as day.
The young man had never seen such a fire that could illuminate everything without candles. He was so scared that his heart was in his throat. He could not hear the words of forgiveness from these life-saving "immortals" and did not dare to raise his head, let alone stand up.
"General, how did this person appear here? Is there an exit nearby?"
Wei Shi gripped the knife tightly and looked around.
"Show someone around."
"yes!"
After Xie Yuchuan gave his orders in a deep voice, he lowered his eyes and stared at the young mountain dweller on the ground for a while, then said, "We are not immortals. Please stand up."
"Yeah, little brother, you misunderstood. Stand up and let me take a look."
After receiving the safety signal, Han Qiguang followed closely behind, as if he had suddenly discovered a new world. He walked up to the young mountain man, bent his knees and half-knelt, looking at him curiously.
The surroundings were empty and deep, and when someone spoke, the echo drifted back slowly.
The mountain dweller, who wanted so badly to kowtow and apologize to the ground, raised his head tremblingly when he heard the words.
Just when he wanted to see who the "immortal" squatting in front of him was, he suddenly noticed something strange around him.
"Why is it suddenly warm?" he muttered in surprise.
"Yeah, why did it suddenly become warm?" Han Qiguang repeated what he said with a smile.
Another echo!
It's a cave?!
"Am I in a cave?" The young mountaineer turned his head and looked around in fear.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t look, but after the fog cleared, I almost got scared when I saw it!
Han Qiguang had been observing his reaction with sharp eyes. Seeing that the other party was indeed shocked and couldn't believe it, he looked up and glanced at the person next to him, then stood up.
The two subordinates next to him helped the young mountain man up, one on the left and one on the right. One of them generously untied the water bag and dry food on his body and stuffed them directly into the young man's arms.
Han Qiguang returned to Xie Yuchuan's side, looked at the young mountain dweller with a smile, and whispered, "They look like people who have come to the mountains to avoid disaster."
"Yeah." Xie Yuchuan responded, looking up to see Wei Shi and his men making a circle and then returning. "How's the situation?"
Wei Shi turned back with a strange expression. As he passed the young mountaineer, he couldn't help but look at him a few more times. Then he walked up to his two masters, clasped his hands together, and said, "General, Master Han, I have led my men to search around, but we haven't found any entrances or exits. I really don't know where this person came from."
After all, they are young people. Even though they are confused about the situation and feel anxious now, as soon as they hear that the topic is related to themselves, their expressions instantly become tense.
Seeing this, Han Qiguang hurriedly smiled and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, little brother. Since we are willing to save you, we will not hurt you."
Wei Shi sighed, he was indeed the eloquent Young Master Han, look, he had demolished the other person's defenses with just one sentence.
When the young mountain man heard this, he instantly remembered the life-saving food and water these people had given him before. Yes, how could these benefactors who were willing to save his life hurt him?
My mind instantly changed 180 degrees and I was no longer afraid.
As soon as his mind was at peace, he immediately remembered what they had just said. He turned around and looked around. There was a familiar smell of rotten earth everywhere.
Deep in the brightly lit underground, he could see everything around him at a glance. Disbelief and astonishment filled his eyes. The young mountain man could not believe what he saw. He wondered what was happening.
Xie Yuchuan noticed the changing expression on his face, narrowed his eyes slightly to observe him for a moment, and asked him, "Where are you from?"
"My lord, I come from Taoyuan Village."
When Xie Yuchuan asked, the young mountain man quickly turned around and leaned over to answer.
"Hey, little bro, relax."
Han Qiguang glanced at the stern-faced Xie Yuchuan, then took a step forward, supporting the young mountain dweller's trembling body. He pointed in the direction behind him and guided him in a gentle voice, "Young man, look, this place is a dead end, with no exit in sight. We came all the way here from the back, and we didn't see any living creatures along the way. But when we get here, we see you, a living person, lying on the ground. Look... If it were you, wouldn't you be curious too?"
The young mountain man followed Han Qiguang's words slowly and nodded.
"So, there's no entrance underground like this. Where did you come from, little brother?" Han Qiguang stared at him sincerely, "Can you lead us to find the exit?"
"I……"
The young mountain man was speechless for a moment, his brain buzzing, and he didn't know what to say. He could only look up at the several imposing people in front of him.
Their temperament was different from that of everyone else in the mountains. On the contrary, the handsome and amiable man standing in front of him had a similar aura to the literate teacher in the village.
He looked at them seriously and asked sincerely, "Are you really not the immortals of this mountain?"
Han Qiguang was amused by him, and even Wei Shi beside him couldn't help laughing.
Only the serious Xie Yuchuan frowned subconsciously when he heard his words. After pondering for a moment, he asked in return: "Why, there are immortals in this mountain?"
As soon as he said this, Han Qiguang and Wei Shi turned around to look at him.
Both of them were a little surprised.
I never thought that one day Xie Yuchuan, who was completely skeptical back then, would say such words so naturally.
As expected, as someone who has personally seen the gods, his words and actions are different from before.
The young mountain man was not stupid either. When he heard Xie Yuchuan ask him this, his fear was reduced by half, and he had already believed that these people in front of him were not gods.
But... the young mountain man secretly looked at the things on their bodies and hands that he had never seen before. He was a little dazed for a moment, not knowing whether he was alive and met real people, or starved to death and ran into a group of people like him who were unknown whether dead or alive.
Thinking of this, the fear that had just been let go almost came back.
"Hey! Brother, we are living people, we are all alive, don't let your imagination run wild."
Han Qiguang, who was the first to notice it, laughed and teased.
The young mountain man was caught by others as soon as he had an idea, and his idea disappeared immediately.
"Yes, yes." He stuttered.
"What?"
"There is a mountain god who can create a rainbow."
Xie Yuchuan's brows twitched slightly, and suddenly, a colorful rainbow bridge appeared in his mind.
"How did you get in?"
"Fog! Heavy fog!"
I'm a little stuck, so I sorted out my thoughts.
