The moment these words were heard, the entire carriage fell into dead silence.
Chloe: (||??Д??)!
Lin Qiye: ∑(O_O;)? ?
"no!!"
"no!!!"
The two said in unison.
Their intense reaction startled Galan, and Chloe immediately spoke:
"Don't get me wrong! We're just partners! I'm just helping him out!"
"That's right, you think too much, Jia Lan."
"Oh... is that so?" Jia Lan nodded blankly, "Sorry, I was reckless..."
"It's okay..." Lin Qiye breathed a sigh of relief and pointed to the seat next to him, "Come and sit here."
"No, I'll just sit here."
“…”
The corners of Lin Qiye's mouth twitched slightly.
Seeing that Galan was unwilling to change his seat, Lin Qiye did not force him... After all, no matter what the future holds, they are now just strangers meeting for the first time. If someone is willing to sit in the corner, he can't force them to stay by his side.
Chloe looked at Yan Zhong who was pushed into the corner by her, and then glanced at the empty seat next to her. For a moment, she didn't know whether to sit back or not... She was stuck in an inexplicable deadlock.
The atmosphere in the car suddenly became silent.
In the end, it was Galan who took the initiative to break the strange silence.
"By the way, where are you going?"
"Just like you, go to Yaochi."
"Yaochi?"
Hearing these two words, Jia Lan was stunned at first, then shook his head decisively.
"You can't go, at least not in the next two days."
"Why?"
Jia Lan opened his mouth, as if hesitating, and after a moment, he said:
"The Yaochi is in great chaos right now... If you go there, you will only cause trouble to the Empress, and I'm afraid your life will be in danger."
Lin Qiye and the others looked at each other.
"confusion?"
"A kind of smoke enveloped the entire Kunlun Xu. From the guests to the heavenly soldiers and maids, everyone in Yaochi was confused, and the Queen Mother was no exception... I escaped from there."
really,
The real Kusuun has long been eyeing the Great Xia God.
Hearing this, Lin Qiye knew that he had guessed correctly, and he quickly asked:
“When did this happen?”
"Six days ago."
"So, the entire Yao Chi has fallen? How did you escape?" Yan Zhong asked curiously.
Jia Lan was silent for a moment, and then continued, "When the Queen Mother first discovered the clues, only I and another maid Jiang Zhu were serving by her side, so we are the only three people in the entire Yaochi who can be fully trusted...
Afterwards, the queen seemed to have guessed something, and directly took me and sister Jiangzhu into the alchemy room, and handed the eternal life pill pot and the immortality pill pot to us respectively, asking us to protect them well. If someone robs them, even if they are destroyed, they must not fall into the hands of others, and they must not be eaten secretly, because these two pills will not disappear even if they enter the stomach, and they can still be taken out as long as the person is burned to ashes.
After that, she used a secret method to send us directly out of Yaochi, and agreed to go back in ten days. She said that she would resolve everything within ten days.
After leaving Yao Chi, in order to spread the risk, my sister Jiang Zhu and I split up. She went to Magadha on the other side, and I entered the Han Dynasty.
During these six days, I hid in different places under a different name...but every two days, a group of monsters would find me, and the number of monsters would increase each time. The first time there were only dozens of them, but the second time there were hundreds of them.
I was exhausted and seriously injured. I barely managed to escape the second attack. Later, I fainted in the snow due to exhaustion. When I woke up, I was sent to Qingshan County..."
After hearing this, Lin Qiye roughly understood the cause and effect of the matter.
After the Queen Mother of the West discovered that the Yao Chi had been attacked, her first reaction was to send the elixir of immortality and the elixir of immortality to the human world, which is enough to show the importance of these two things. Afterwards, it was difficult to tell the real people in the Yao Chi from the fake ones. Except for Galan, Jiang Zhu and the Queen Mother of the West, no one else should know that the two pots of elixir were no longer in the Yao Chi.
The current situation is that Lin Qiye has already given the Immortality Pill to Galan, so it is probably impossible for him to get back on his feet... After returning to Yaochi, Queen Mother of the West will not really burn Galan and take the Immortality Pill from her body, right?
If this were true, Lin Qiye would never allow this to happen, either from a personal emotional perspective or from a cause-and-effect perspective.
"It sounds like a big problem..." Yan Zhong looked at Lin Qiye thoughtfully, "Are you sure?"
"Yes." Lin Qiye said calmly, "My ability can distinguish the true from the false. As long as we intervene, we can solve many problems."
"You still want to go to Yaochi?" Seeing that his words did not dispel everyone's thoughts, Jia Lan hurriedly said, "No, you are just human after all. When the smoke covered Kunlun Xu, there were several main gods visiting Yaochi, plus the Queen Mother... You are going to die!
It is better to follow the Queen Mother's instructions and go in four days later."
"Don't worry, Miss Galan." Chloe smiled, "We have experience in dealing with that thing, and... we are also very strong."
"However, we are still at least two days away from Kunlun Mountain. By the time we get there, maybe everything will be over?" Hu Jia asked.
Lin Qiye frowned and fell into deep thought.
The ten-day deadline agreed by the Queen Mother of the West should be the longest time required to pacify Yao Chi. If they want to help, they'd better get to Yao Chi as soon as possible.
His eyes passed through the raised curtain and fell on the carriage in front.
Sensing Lin Qiye's gaze, Chloe and the others shuddered suddenly and asked tentatively:
"You wouldn't..."
"This is the only way." Lin Qiye comforted, "Everyone, just bear with it, we will be there soon."
Everyone's faces turned pale in an instant, only Galan was still sitting in the corner in a daze, not knowing what was going on.
Lin Qiye stopped the carriage, got into Huo Qubing's carriage and said something, then they untied the horses that had just been replaced in front of the carriage, leaving only two carriages, parked alone in the wilderness.
"What is this for?" Yan Zhong asked in confusion when he saw that the horse he had bought with great difficulty was just let go.
Lin Qiye patted his shoulder and said meaningfully:
"We are afraid that the horses can't bear it... Flying at high altitudes in this temperature, they will freeze to death before they reach Kunlun Mountain. Instead of that, we'd rather release them directly."
"...They will freeze to death, what about us?"
Lin Qiye smiled but said nothing.
Boom!
Under the power that controlled the emperor, the two carriages were launched from the ground at an astonishing speed, and disappeared at the end of the clouds accompanied by bursts of shrill screams.
