Chapter 63
Just as Liu Qiaolian said, below was indeed a soft grass slope.
With his feet on the ground, Xia Daoming felt a bit embarrassed in his heart.
But there was no help for it; it was his personality. The clouds and mist below were thick, and he couldn't see anything. Without grabbing a vine, Xia Daoming really didn't dare to jump down rashly.
In the thick fog, he could see less than a foot.
Liu Qiaolian grew up in the valley of Gengyun Mountain since she was a child, and she was familiar with the road.
She held Xia Daoming's hand and groped down the slope in the thick fog.
Just as Liu Qiaolian said, below the flat slope was a gentle slope, all covered with weeds, and in some places, one could vaguely see traces of cultivation and reclamation in the past.
The downhill road was easy to walk, unlike the Cold Mist Valley, where the slope was steep and the ground was slippery, and one would fall into the mountain valley if not careful.
It's just that the fog seemed to be thicker than the Cold Mist Valley, and it didn't dissipate.
However, with Liu Qiaolian leading the way, everything was as she said, so Xia Daoming had nothing to worry about.
"No!"
Xia Daoming felt steady in his heart, when suddenly Liu Qiaolian whispered, and she had already blocked in front of him.
"What's wrong?" Xia Daoming's heart jumped, his eyes scanned the surroundings, and his spirit became highly vigilant and guarded.
"Logically speaking, clouds and mist steam upward, gathering and covering the top of the mountain valley, and it should be much lighter below. We have walked such a downhill road, and we should be close to the bottom of the mountain valley, at least we should be able to see some scenes below.
But the bottom is still covered by thick fog. Not only that, we seem to have returned to a place before; we have indeed returned to the original place.
This peach tree was planted by me when I was a child. Just now I specifically paid attention to it, and there can be no mistake; there are characters I carved on it!" Liu Qiaolian touched the trunk of a peach tree, her face turning a little pale.
"It seems that after you escaped, not only did Luogui City change, but the Liu Family Village also changed." Xia Daoming felt a shock in his heart, and then calmed down, his expression solemn.
"Could it be that a demon has occupied the Liu Family Village and is making trouble here?" Liu Qiaolian thought of the villages she encountered along the way, where every household was raising poisonous snakes, and her face turned pale again, but she still stood firmly in front of Xia Daoming.
"It's hard to say!" Xia Daoming said, his hand already reaching to his back, taking down two short spears and splicing them into a long spear.
"It's all this slave's fault for harming Master, if it weren't for this slave..." Liu Qiaolian was extremely self-reproachful.
"You and I don't need to say such polite words. The top priority is to walk out of this fog." Xia Daoming interrupted in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Liu Qiaolian knew that this was not the time for self-reproach, her pale face gradually turned murderous and solemn, and her pair of jade hands had also taken down the short spears and spliced them together.
The Dragon Snake Nine Spears are the most powerful weapon killing moves in the Dragon Snake Art!
"Remember, no matter what happens, you must follow me closely!" Xia Daoming said extremely calmly.
"This slave understands!" Liu Qiaolian said coldly.
"Good, let's continue walking!" Xia Daoming's spear tip drew a clear mark on the peach tree, and then walked forward all the way.
Every time he walked a distance, Xia Daoming left a mark.
However, after about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Xia Daoming and Liu Qiaolian found that they had returned to the original peach tree.
Xia Daoming's face was gloomy and ugly, and he looked up at the sky, still covered by clouds and mist.
The sun near noon did not disperse the clouds and mist.
Liu Qiaolian touched the peach tree lightly, her beautiful eyes revealing a hint of thought.
"Let's walk another trip, I don't believe in evil!" Soon, Xia Daoming said coldly.
"Master, wait, this time let Lian'er lead the way." Liu Qiaolian said, her beautiful eyes actually revealing a hint of excitement and expectation.
"No." Xia Daoming refused decisively.
"This should be the Peach Miasma Illusion Array. If you give this slave some time, maybe I can break it." Liu Qiaolian said, her originally pale face actually revealing a hint of excited blush.
"Peach Miasma Illusion Array? Seen from that ancient book?" Xia Daoming frowned slightly.
"That's right, Master, just let Lian'er try it. Anyway, you are by Lian'er's side, even if there is real danger, you will have time to take action." Liu Qiaolian said.
Xia Daoming thought that this thick fog was very weird, and his martial arts strength was of no use, so letting Lian'er try it was not impossible.
Just treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
"Alright." Xia Daoming nodded quickly.
"Thank you, Master." Liu Qiaolian said excitedly.
Under Liu Qiaolian's leadership, the two soon returned to the original place.
However, Liu Qiaolian was not disappointed, but her pair of beautiful eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Master, Lian'er already has some clues. After walking a few more trips, I should be able to lock the position of the array flags. As long as I find the position of the array flags and pull them out one by one, I can break this illusion array." Liu Qiaolian said confidently and excitedly.
"Really?" Xia Daoming was a little incredulous.
"How dare Lian'er lie to Master!" Liu Qiaolian said.
"Hehe, it turns out my Lian'er is a genius of array formations, and a self-taught one at that. It seems I have hooked up with a big shot.
In the future, whoever dares to bully me, I will let Lian'er set up an array formation and trap him until he cries." Xia Daoming said happily.
"Master, you are teasing Lian'er!" Liu Qiaolian said with a blushing face.
"Hehe, I am serious. Array formations are the methods of immortals! Alright, let's not talk about it now, you still have to hurry up and break the array.
Looking at the situation, it is very likely that the demon is not in the village, otherwise it wouldn't be just trapping us. We must hurry up, in case the demon returns, we will be miserable." Xia Daoming's expression soon turned solemn again.
"Yes, Master!" Liu Qiaolian replied solemnly.
Liu Qiaolian said that walking a few more trips was obviously modest.
After walking two more trips, Liu Qiaolian said confidently to Xia Daoming: "Master, you must follow this slave's pace later. I should already know the location of the array flags."
"Good!" Xia Daoming nodded solemnly.
Then, Liu Qiaolian muttered something, walked seven steps to the left for a while, walked five steps forward for a while, turning back and forth, seemingly chaotic, but vaguely seemed to have some kind of regular trajectory inside.
Xia Daoming followed Liu Qiaolian's footsteps silently.
Suddenly Liu Qiaolian stopped.
She lifted a stone, and then took off the machete inserted in her waist and dug down.
After a few digs, she actually dug out a flag from the ground, the pole of which was made of peach wood heart, and the flag was made of unknown material, embroidered with many runes, only the size of a palm.
As soon as this flag was taken out, the thick fog rolled, and it was obviously lighter.
"Lian'er is truly amazing!" Xia Daoming was overjoyed when he saw this.
Liu Qiaolian received Xia Daoming's praise, her pretty face flushed slightly as she looked at him, and then continued to walk forward according to a certain pace rule.
Every once in a while, Liu Qiaolian dug out a palm-sized flag.
The thick fog became lighter and lighter.
Through the light fog, he could already see the wisps of sunlight shining down from the top of the mountain valley.
He could also vaguely see a piece of golden clouds rippling in the east of the mountain valley below.
In that field, a group of people were hoeing the ground.
However, on the road down the mountain valley, a large group of thick fog blocked the way.
"Master, ahead should be the location of the array eye. As long as I pull out the flag at the array eye, this array will be completely broken by this slave.
However, the Liu Family Village is very weird, and this array is definitely not something that mortals can set up. Now that the array has been broken by this slave for the most part, and the path has appeared, why don't we return the same way now and not move forward anymore." Liu Qiaolian said.
