Chapter 295 Young Couple
"Don't worry, it's just a bird." Jiang Yunxi said calmly. She didn't sense any evil spirit, and the Demon-Slaying Sword didn't react at all, which meant that there were no demons or evil spirits around them.
She was almost certain that the formation point was at the Cliff of Broken Souls because strange things had happened there.
The High Priest King must have set up a formation to protect the point, so the villagers who broke in there would be in trouble.
Zhan Luochen: "..."
The strong are the strong. Look at that light tone, he doesn't take it seriously at all.
As we walked further into the mountains, there was no other sound except the sound of horse hooves. The surroundings became increasingly eerie, making people inexplicably feel a chill on the back of their necks and their hearts pounding.
Suddenly all the horses stopped, as if unwilling to move forward.
Jiang Yunxi understood that the Cliff of Broken Souls was probably not far ahead. The horse sensed the danger and was no longer willing to move forward. She quickly dismounted.
"We'll tie the horses here and walk over."
Everyone dismounted upon hearing this. There were six horses in total, and Chu Leyi and Biluo rode on the same horse.
Jiang Yunxi took down the Demon-Slaying Sword hanging on the horse's back and walked straight forward. After walking about a hundred meters, she sensed the existence of a formation. She curled her lips and smiled. Sure enough, it was here.
She quickened her pace and soon reached a cliff.
"Do you feel chilly?" Zhan Luochen asked directly this time. He felt the same way when he went to Jiangzhou last time, but he didn't dare to say it at that time.
"Indeed, I always feel like there are eyes watching us in the dark." Jiang Jingyan shuddered, and all the hairs on his body stood up.
Zhan Luochen: "..."
Why would you say such horrible things.
"This is the Cliff of Broken Souls. If you look closely, the surrounding mountains look almost like the picture. According to the instructions on the drawing, the formation point is below the Cliff of Broken Souls." Jiang Yunxi said with a look of determination on his face.
"Let's go down quickly." Jiang Jingyan said excitedly. On the way here, they already knew what they were here for. When he heard that it was to help his sister get the soul as soon as possible, he was very happy to participate.
Chu Leyi walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down. She was not afraid of heights. After seeing clearly what was below, she said with surprise, "Come and see, it's very beautiful down there, with hundreds of flowers blooming."
Jiang Jingyan strode over. When he saw the colorful and pleasing flowers, he was surprised, but he quickly realized, "No, it must be an illusion. These flowers are a trap."
Chu Leyi: "..."
Zhan Beiyuan pointed to the left, "There's a way down there."
Jiang Yunxi also noticed it and said, "Let's go."
By the time they reached the foot of the Cliff of Broken Souls, it was completely dark.
"Look, there are lanterns hanging over there. Are there people living here?" Qian Heng's face was full of surprise. This is not the Cliff of Broken Souls, so how could there be villagers living here?
There seems to be a small courtyard.
"It's better if someone lives here. We can stay here for one night." Jiang Yunxi had a faint smile on his face. They had already entered the formation, and the people who had not entered would not see the same scene as them.
"That's great, otherwise we would have to live in the mountains." Zhan Luochen's face was full of joy, and he strode towards the place where the lanterns were hanging.
Jiang Jingyan chased after him unwilling to be outdone.
Biluo looked around vigilantly, not daring to relax for a moment. Although they had come in smoothly, she still believed what the villagers said and would not say anything nonsense.
"It's really beautiful here." Chu Leyi looked closely at the flowers on both sides of the road. They were breathtakingly beautiful. The key point was that it was the coldest time of the year, so how could so many flowers bloom?
"It's indeed beautiful, but be careful, it's poisonous." Qianheng said with a smile.
Chu Leyi: "..."
She was just about to pick one, but after hearing this and thinking about what the villagers had said, she quickly retracted her hand.
"Who are you?" A cold female voice sounded from the front, with a strong sense of displeasure in the voice.
"We're here to stay overnight. Is that convenient?" Jiang Jingyan said very kindly. The man looked to be about twenty years old, about the same age as his sister.
"Our house is small and it's not convenient." The woman said indifferently, not willing to keep them here.
Jiang Jingyan: “…”
He didn't expect the other party to refuse so bluntly.
"We can pay." Zhan Luochen took out a silver note.
"I'm not short of money." The woman said with disdain.
Zhan Luochen: "..."
Jiang Jingyan couldn't help laughing out loud.
Jiang Yunxi approached, looked at the woman and smiled gently, "Miss, we didn't mean to disturb you. We took the wrong road and ended up here by mistake. It's dark now, so we came here."
The woman's expression was cold. "My house is full. You guys should go find a place to sleep outside."
After she finished speaking, she prepared to close the yard door.
"Yun Niang, what's wrong?" At this time, a somewhat weak male voice came from a room, and then the door opened, and a tall and thin man wearing a thick cloak walked out.
"Song Jin, why did you come out?" Yun Niang quickly turned and walked towards him, her eyes full of concern and worry.
"What are they doing?" Song Jin looked up at Jiang Yunxi and the others.
"They are here to stay overnight, and I don't want to." Yunniang's face was full of displeasure.
Song Jin looked at her with a gentle smile, "It's freezing cold, they will definitely get sick if they live in the mountains, why not let them in."
Yunniang looked at Jiang Yunxi and the other seven people in the distance, and her tone was no longer so tough. "We don't have that many houses for them to live in."
"Would you like to squeeze in? One room for men and one room for women." Song Jin asked them with a smile. He and Yun Niang lived alone, so they didn't have too many rooms.
"Yes, thank you." Jiang Yunxi thanked with a smile.
"If my husband wasn't kind-hearted, I wouldn't let you stay here. Come in." Yunniang said with a cold face.
"You have a sharp tongue but a soft heart." Song Jin looked at her with a doting smile.
Yunniang met his gaze and her heart was burning, but after thinking of something, she quickly helped him into the house. He was weak and could not catch a cold, otherwise he would get sick again.
Jiang Yunxi and the other seven people walked into the yard. The walls of the yard were planted with flowers, all blooming luxuriantly, just like spring. The leaves in the forest they had visited before were all withered and yellow.
Yunniang quickly came out of the house and said, "There are two rooms over there. You can divide them among yourselves. There is food in the kitchen. If you want to eat, cook it yourself. Don't disturb us."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Jiang Yunxi picked a room at random and gave the other one to Zhan Beiyuan and the other two.
Knowing that they couldn't return to the capital tonight, they had already prepared food.
At this time, seven people gathered in a room to eat.
"Didn't the villagers say this place is scary? Why would a young couple live here?" Jiang Jingyan asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Jiang Yunxi took a bite of the dried meat, chewed it carefully, and said lightly, "Because they are not human."
Snap——
Zhan Luochen dropped the steamed bun in his hand to the ground, his eyes widened and he asked, "Did I see a ghost?"
Jiang Yunxi ate some dried meat and said slowly, "Besides humans and ghosts, there are other things in the world, but this Song Jin died a long time ago."
