——
At the same time.
That is, the moment when the Holy Maiden sends out the nine-colored signal, and the seventeen war drums in the deep mountains sound in an orderly manner.
The snow path leading from Quedongzhai to Xingkong Guolin has been half-completed.
Even though it was less than two meters wide, it was enough for horses to pass through.
In the past two days, supplies from the provincial capital have been arriving one after another and have been piled up in Quedongzhai.
The mayor personally oversaw operations at Quedong Village, but he merely sat and observed.
Because he couldn't mobilize the Miao people at all, and the Miao people wouldn't follow his orders.
On the contrary, the county head, along with Han Chinese people like Su Qian and Yao Ye who came from the provincial capital, were able to work alongside the Miao people.
The Miao people knew that the county magistrate had helped the Xingkong Fruit Forest.
Knowing that Su Qian and Yao Ye from the provincial capital were the future Miao kings of their Miao family, they naturally became closer to them.
It was already dark in Quedong Village at this moment.
But batches of Miao girls and boys, carrying supplies, went out of the canyon, only to return covered in scratches and abrasions.
Even so, these young Red Scarves continued to fight on this waterway.
only---
When they heard the seventeen drumbeats from deep in the mountains resound in this unprecedented rhythm, the hearts of tens of thousands of Miao people sank.
because--
The Holy Maiden has not yet found the future Miao King of their Miao family.
The signal emitted by the saintess was also the most dangerous one.
Chief Tang and Chief Mu were on tenterhooks for two days. If the person who asked them to continue working on the orchard was not the Holy Maiden, they would not be able to sit still.
As for the elders here, their hearts grew increasingly anxious as time went on.
They were afraid.
They feared that the Miao people living deep in the mountains might not be able to withstand the natural disasters.
They were even more afraid that something might happen to Mu Achen.
Because if Mu Achen really gets into trouble, the future Miao King, who has only appeared once in a thousand years, will perish before emerging from his cocoon, and the Holy Maiden will not live on alone.
If even the Holy Maiden is gone, what prosperity can the Miao people talk about? What chance do they have of breaking out of Guizhou Province, dominating China, and looking down on the world?
Gradually--
As time goes by!
The misty atmosphere has enveloped the hearts of all the Miao people.
It's the third day.
Deeper still in the mountains, the saintesses have yet to find Mu Achen.
The blizzard turned into light snow.
The freezing rain has stopped.
After searching deep into the mountains for several days, Amo and her companions were devastated and had no interest in admiring the picturesque snowscape around them.
Another day has passed.
The frozen mountains and rivers, under the piercing sunlight, are as beautiful as a poem or a painting.
The lakes on this side of the canyon are breathtakingly beautiful in their snowy scenery.
The pure, flawless snow, reflecting the surrounding mountains, creates a harmonious and beautiful picture.
The saintess and her companions had been searching for several days deep in the mountains.
Strangely, the Holy Maiden always found Achen by sensing the male butterfly inside his body, but why did a strange illusion always appear just as she was about to pinpoint Achen's exact location?
seem--
Ah Chen, who had been unconscious for several days, was carried away from his original location by something.
In these deep mountains and forests, the chances of wild animals in the snow taking Ah Chen away are slim.
If it wasn't a wild animal, then there's only one possibility.
river.
But the river here is frozen solid; people can walk on the ice without any problem, so how could Ah Chen—
At this moment, the saintess, standing on the cliff, looked down at the frozen lake below, which had been frozen by the freezing rain, and used her colorful butterflies to sense Achen's location.
Because the sensation released by the butterfly at this location is too strong.
“Holy Maiden, apart from the appearance of large poisonous creatures and the poisonous insects in the snow, there is still no trace of Brother Chen.”
Another head of the guards also came to report.
"Can't find him! Holy Maiden, could Ah Chen be... in the snow?"
“Holy Maiden, the Shengmiao Grass Ghosts from several nearby branches have also reported that there is no trace of Achen.”
The reports from the chiefs made the saintess's heart sink once again.
"No, Ah Chen is nearby. Although his breathing is weak and stops every now and then, he must be struggling with something. We must find him, even if we have to dig three feet into the ground."
The saintess's voice went hoarse!
Whenever she sensed that Ah Chen's breathing had stopped, she felt like the sky was about to fall.
At this moment, looking at the various branches of grass spirits constantly searching in the surrounding mountains and forests, Amo desperately hoped that Achen was just playing a joke on her.
Ah Chen has already exited the canyon through another river mouth.
But why is there such a strong feeling? Ah Chen is nearby.
Amo didn't know what had happened, or what was wrong with Achen that she didn't know.
Because yesterday, Ah Yin recalled something that seemed ordinary, but made Ah Mo feel uneasy.
Ah Chen changed his route at the last minute to come to Xique Miaoyuexi Village.
In other words, Ah Chen must have discovered something unusual about Yuexi Village while delivering supplies to other Miao people, which is why he came here.
But after Ah Chen fell into the river, he miraculously disappeared so far, fifty or sixty kilometers away, even with the river surface frozen. Is this normal?
Besides, after all this time, we've ended up here.
It's important to know that this lake is located near the Starry Sky Orchard, just a few kilometers away from the newly built Jiuyou Ancient Village!
This is the place where the souls of the previous Miao King and Miao Saint reside; it is the most core forbidden area of the Miao people.
If it weren't for the Holy Maiden leading the way, the other Miao people wouldn't be allowed to set foot here without permission.
