Volume 2: Yun Ji Cang Hai Chapter 344: Mao Jia Ling
Chapter 344 Maojialing
----------
? On this day, the sunset dyed the western sky red.
Among the high mountains, on a winding mountain road, two young men in gray robes appeared. One is Fengli, who is short in stature and looks slightly tired. The other one had a calm expression and his eyes were shining under his sharp eyebrows. He was obviously Lin Yi.
"Junior brother Lin, according to the jade slip from Deacon Jian, Maojialing should be not far ahead!" Feng Li said with a happy face, pointing forward. The long journey for more than 20 consecutive days still consumes physical strength. After all, his cultivation was limited and he was not as relaxed as Lin Yi.
The surroundings are lush and lush, and it is the season when the vegetation is in full bloom. Walking along the mountain trails, you can't see the sun when you look up. If we didn't know the route in advance, it would be difficult to find Maojialing. Seeing that it was already getting late, Lin Yi said: "Since the remaining journey is not far, you and I should go to Maojialing and have a rest. What do you think, Senior Brother Feng?"
"Haha! What Junior Brother Lin said is absolutely true!" Feng Li nodded in agreement.
For monks in the qi training period, it is okay not to eat or drink for three to five days. But these days, having to travel on the road and not having anything to eat, Fengli couldn't bear it. He also thought about getting to Mao's house in time while the weather was getting dark so that he could have some hot soup and rice.
Seeing the dusk deepening and the tired birds returning to the forest, Lin Yi, who was following Feng Li, suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked, "Senior Brother Feng, how far is Maojialing from here?"
Feng Li said without looking back: "We should be there after passing the hillside in front. It's only about ten miles away!"
"Senior Brother Feng, are you so sure?" Lin Yi's steps slowed down, his expression thoughtful.
Feng Li turned around and saw that the other party had frowned. He couldn't help but stop, took out a jade slip and said, "This is the jade slip given by Deacon Jian. Junior Brother Lin might as well take a look!"
Fengli was not wrong. As shown in the jade slip, Maojialing was not far ahead. Lin Yi returned the jade slip, looked at Feng Li who looked puzzled and said, "I'm afraid something may change ahead, senior brother Feng must be careful!" As he said that, he walked to the front uncharacteristically.
Feng Li was startled for a moment, then hurriedly caught up and asked, "Junior Brother Lin, what did you find?"
Lin Yi's expression became solemn and he said softly: "That's just a ruin! Let's go first!"
The two of them ran forward one after the other, turned around the hillside, and suddenly there was a valley in front of them. It was already dark at this time, but we could see the ruins on the high slope in front of us.
He paused for a moment. There was a stone tablet at Lin Yi's feet, with the words Maojialing clearly visible on it. Fengli also saw the scene in front of him, raised his head, looked around, and exclaimed: "Junior brother! How could this be like this? Where are the people?"
Lin Yi frowned, not caring about Feng Li behind him. He ran up the high slope, and in an instant he jumped to a high wall that had not yet collapsed. This hillside, which covers an area of several miles, is in such a mess that it is difficult to see a complete house. His consciousness swept over, but he didn't see a single figure, not even a corpse.
Who could believe that such a desolate and deserted place was actually the home of the Mao family, a cultivating immortal family.
It was getting dark, and the night wind swept over the hills, carrying a gentle whine, and a few fierce calls of night owls in the distance, passing through these ruins, making people's hair stand on end.
Lin Yi's consciousness swept through this desolate area again and again, and still found no movement until twenty miles away. What happened in this dead Maojialing? Could Jian already know this in advance and intentionally let herself and Feng Libai go on a trip as a punishment for him? No, as an elder, it is easy for Deacon Jian to take care of himself, so there is no need to take extra steps.
Could it be that the Mao family suffered a great disaster and was wiped out?
Thinking of this, Lin Yi stared at it. Sure enough, traces of fighting could be seen everywhere, and the deep sword marks on the cornerstone of the house were still clearly visible, obviously caused by flying swords. On the collapsed house, there was a faint trace of residual mana energy. There should have been a tragic battle here, a life and death battle between monks!
After Fengli walked through the ruins and found nothing, he came to Lin Yi and said with uneasiness in his tone: "Junior brother Lin, I looked around and didn't see a single person. There were only some traces of fighting. It should have been left behind not long ago. Could it be that the Mao family was really wiped out?"
Lin Yi jumped down from the wall, walked to the stone steps that were submerged in gravel, stretched out his hand, and half of the door plaque flew up, and then fell down with a "pop", with the word "Mao" vaguely visible on it. On both sides of the tall stone steps, one of the gatekeeper stone beasts was blown into stone fragments, while the other one was broken into several pieces and collapsed among the rubble. The remaining half of the head still had its mouth open. It no longer showed the aura of Zhao Jinaxiang, but seemed to be silently witnessing everything that had happened here.
How many people can live in such a big place? Just gone? Although he had nothing to do with the Mao family, this desolate scene still made Lin Yi feel chills in his heart.
"What exactly happened in Maojialing is difficult to find out for a while. Senior Brother Feng, it is better to stay here for one night and report the truth when you go back tomorrow!" Lin Yi said helplessly.
"That's all!" Feng Li sighed, and after looking around, he couldn't help but shrink his neck, making his figure look even shorter, as if he was trying to hide in the darkness of the night. The annihilation of the Mao family made him, who also comes from the same family, feel the same way.
Seeing that Feng Li had no objection, Lin Yi thought about finding a clean place to rest. But the sky was dark, and there were rubble everywhere. With the night wind blowing through the valley, everything in front of him made people feel gloomy and terrifying. I don’t know how many people died here. It’s not a good place to rest.
Lin Yi thought about it and said, "Brother Feng, you and I will leave this place for the time being and make plans tomorrow!"
In the night, Feng Li nodded silently. The two followed the remaining streets and walked towards where they came from.
After the two took a few steps, Lin Yi's face changed and suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Wait!". Feng Li didn't understand what he meant. When he was about to ask, he suddenly heard a few loud laughs--
"Haha! Sure enough, there are fish caught in the net!"
"These ten months of work have not been in vain!"
"Stop, you kid who came to die!"
"..."
Along with the laughter, "bang bang--!" There were several more muffled sounds, and a cloud of dust flew up, and four figures suddenly rushed out from under the ruins.
Encountering a sudden change, Feng Li was frightened and took a few steps back, next to Lin Yi. Looking at the figures surrounding him, he said in horror: "Junior Brother Lin..."
The night could not block the eyes of the cultivators, and Lin Yi naturally saw the person coming. His pupils shrank slightly, and he sent a voice message to Feng Li: "Don't panic, listen to my instructions later!"
The four people on the other side were all dressed in black. Obviously, they used a shielding formation to hide under the ruins, and also avoided the detection of Lin Yi and Feng Li.
Among the people who just spoke, two were at the ninth level of Qi training, and one was at the eighth level of Qi training. These three people did not make Lin Yi feel difficult. If he could not defeat them, he could still escape! But the silent one was actually a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building. This was the one who gave him a headache.
These people should be the culprits who caused the Mao family to suffer. They clearly set a trap to catch the fish. It seems that Feng Li and I just stumbled upon it by mistake and suffered the disaster for no reason. Where did these people come from? Why did they destroy the Mao family?
"We are disciples of Zhengyang Sect and come here on business. I don’t know who is coming? Why are you making things so difficult?" Lin Yi asked loudly.
"Young man, why are you talking so much nonsense! Since you are a disciple of Zhengyang Sect, I will not let you go!" After the cultivator in the foundation building period said coldly, the other three men in black had blocked Lin Yi and Feng Li’s retreat.
"How dare you be an enemy of Zhengyang Sect?" Seeing that the other party had already started to kill, Feng Li, who was unbelievable, couldn't help shouting loudly. Just as a burst of sneers sounded, three sword beams illuminated the night sky and flew towards the two.
Feng Li was about to use his flying sword to resist the enemy, but he only heard Lin Yi whispering, "Follow me!" An arm had already grabbed his arm, and a layer of yellow light quickly covered his whole body. Then his feet sank and sank into the ground.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The three sword beams hit the ground fiercely, and the earth and rocks flew everywhere.
Before the smoke and dust had dispersed, a man in black shouted in surprise, "Huh? These two guys can do earth escape!"
"Humph! Chase them!" The cultivator in the foundation-building period sneered, stepped on the sword rainbow and rushed away, followed by three Qi training cultivators.
