Chapter 106 The Weirdness of Mihun Pond
There were a lot of poisonous insects, snakes and ants in the forest. The two of them traveled during the day and climbed up trees to rest at night. They passed without incident for several days.
Because there are too many unknown things, we try to avoid those monsters in this forest to avoid causing any trouble.
The supplies he brought with him were also exhausted, and he relied entirely on hunting game to satisfy his hunger.
One morning, the two of them were groping forward as usual. As evening approached, a depression suddenly appeared in front of them.
Looking up, there are many round thatched houses scattered in the depression, and there are many people with spears patrolling around the buildings.
Their clothes are incompatible with modern times, and everything they wear seems to be made of animal skins.
It is still snowing heavily now, and the snow is white as far as the eye can see, and the depressions are filled with thick snow.
"There are still people living in this place."
Mu Qian was holding a tree, with a bit of surprise in his tone.
Ye Ran said nothing and silently observed the layout below, always feeling that something was wrong.
Those houses seem to have no rules, but there are some rules in the chaos, which is elusive.
If this place is the tribe that Little Beijing mentioned, there is no golden tree, and there is not even a tree in the depression below.
As soon as the two of them gathered together, they were ready to go down and take a look. Unexpectedly, under the depression where they had just arrived, the tribe in front of them disappeared, leaving only an open space in front of them.
Ye Ran also felt strange. After some thinking, he returned to the cliff. The tribe that had disappeared before while watching the show reappeared in front of him.
When it went down again, the tribe disappeared without a trace again.
"Is there a trick here?" Mu Qian turned to look at Ye Ran who was thinking. She was not from the Jianghu community and didn't know much about this.
"I'm afraid so."
Ye Ran crossed his arms and raised his head to look ahead.
There is a 100% formation in this place, but the entrance should be somewhere under your feet.
This kind of blinding method should be to limit people who come here by accident, or people with ulterior motives.
If they can't enter from the right place, outsiders won't be able to find their exact location at all.
Legend has it that Zhang Daoling once ascended to immortality here and set many traps in Mihundang.
Of course it is not believable to ascend to immortality, but the formation trap set may be real.
Then the problem arises. Ye Ran has never seen such a wonderful blinding method. It is simply unrealistic to break through it in a short time.
Too little information to start.
Just as Ye Ran was hesitating, a large thick fog suddenly rose nearby. In less than half a minute, his vision was completely blocked, and he couldn't even see clearly half a meter in front of him.
Suddenly, there was another burst of wind.
Ye Ran immediately raised his hand and slowly turned his head. A sharp spear was less than a finger away from his head.
Fortunately, Ye Ran reacted very quickly and successfully caught it in his hand, otherwise his head would have been penetrated.
Without giving him a chance to breathe, the sound of breaking wind sounded one after another, and there were even shouts from people.
In the blink of an eye, spears were stabbing from all directions!
Ye Ran took two steps back, blocked all the attacks with the spear in his hand, then aimed at a random position and threw it with all his strength!
"We are all our own, don't do anything!"
A familiar voice sounded from the thick fog.
Ye Ran recognized that it was Little Beijing's voice, but he did not completely let go of his guard.
Because before arriving at this place, he and Mu Qian had encountered a monster that could learn human language, and the imitation was almost indistinguishable from the original monster.
"Young Master?"
Mu Qian also asked questions at this moment, the pistol was loaded, and like Ye Ran, he was also vigilant.
"Damn it, why are you here too?"
Little Beijing's voice sounded again, but this time it was obviously a little displeased.
Not long after he finished speaking, the thick fog in front of his eyes began to gradually dissipate.
After a while, Ye Ran finally saw the surrounding scenes clearly.
The previously disappeared tribe has appeared, and the surrounding area is filled with people holding spears...
"Savage?"
Ye Ran's eyes swayed from side to side. These people's hair was too long, and their faces were either adorned with ornaments or painted like tabby cats.
Little Beijing was standing among this group of people, and next to him was a girl who was more than half the height, estimated to be about 1.5 meters tall.
"Master! Master!"
The little beggar jumped up and waved his hands, looking a little excited.
Upon seeing this, Mu Qian put away his firearm and couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw that Little Beijing was safe.
"Young Master, the old man asked me to take you back, please don't embarrass me." Mu Qian said.
Little Beijing snorted and had no intention of talking to her at all. Judging from his attitude, it was obvious that there was something going on between the two.
Seeing that all the savages around him were returning, Ye Ran leaned forward.
After meeting each other face to face, Little Beijing smiled coquettishly and said, "I knew you would be able to find her, but I didn't expect this woman to be here. Did you have sex with her on the way?"
Ye Ran smiled half-heartedly but didn't answer, and then punched Little Beijing in the abdomen. The pain caused him to instantly squat down, holding his stomach, and vomited out a lot of water.
"Holy shit, what are you doing? Master Jin doesn't have a deep grudge against you, right?"
"Ouch...it hurts!"
Little Beijing stood up holding his stomach with a face full of pain.
Ye Ran smiled and patted his shoulder: "I thought I was still in the illusion, so I wanted to try to see if it hurt."
Hearing such a weird reason, Little Beijing shouted speechlessly: "Why did you hit me? Why don't you just hit yourself?"
Ye Ran looked at me like an idiot: "You are sick, it will hurt if you hit me."
"Damn, if you hit me, will it hurt me, Mr. Jin?"
"It's right that you feel pain, which means it's not an illusion now."
Little Beijing: "...Okay, that makes sense!"
"Master, let's go to the house first, it's so cold outside!" The little beggar tugged at the corner of Ye Ran's clothes, then put his little hand in front of his mouth and blew.
"Okay, let's go." Ye Ran replied briefly.
Little Beijing and the little beggar turned around and left, leading the way.
Ye Ran did not follow immediately, but turned to look at Mu Qian on the side, and smiled: "You are so unpopular, are you Mr. Jin's ex-girlfriend?"
Mu Qian just glanced at him, said nothing, and followed their pace with his long legs.
Ye Ran hissed and raised his eyebrows, "You're pulling it up again. Did I guess right?"
He came to a relatively large thatched round house, opened the curtain at the door, and saw Yelang and Mo Qingyu as soon as he entered. The two hurriedly greeted each other.
It's true that although the temperature outside is very low, the thatched house is very warm.
The ground is covered with layers of animal skins, and there is a stone stove in the middle, with a large stone slab on it.
There are a lot of barbecues on the stone slab, sizzling with oil and smoke.
Everyone took off their shoes at the door and sat down around the stone stove.
Mo Qingyu stood up and poured a cup of hot tea for everyone. After pouring it down his throat, Ye Ran and Mu Qian's cold bodies warmed up a little.
"I say, Boss Ye, why did you call this woman too?" Little Beijing leaned over, raised his hand and whispered.
Ye Ran looked puzzled: "I came here by myself, and I just met her on the way. How come she is really your ex-girlfriend?"
Little Beijing clicked his tongue: "What are you thinking? She is my old man's personal secretary and bodyguard. Anyway, she is very powerful. She often reports to Mr. Jin. I feel annoyed when I see her!"
"So that's what happened. I was wondering why you looked like an enemy when you saw her." Ye Ran finally reacted.
Mu Qian held the tea bowl, stared at the two people who were playing with him, and said immediately.
"Young Master, you entered the dangerous restricted area without permission. The master is very angry. Please don't make things difficult for me and come back with me as soon as possible."
"Impossible!"
"Mr. Jin escaped by his own ability. Why should he go back with you now?"
"Young Master, Mihuntang is not like other places. It's okay for you to sneak out and make trouble on weekdays. The master always turns a blind eye."
"Now please don't act like a child and go back with me as soon as possible. Once the master is angry, you and I can't afford it."
"I won't. The old man keeps me locked in the house all day long. Every time I run out, it takes me a lot of effort. It's impossible for me to go back easily!"
Little Beijing said it firmly, as if there was no room for negotiation.
Mu Qian and Little Beijing began to struggle, and the other four people who were eating melons moved in the same direction very tacitly to make room for them.
"Master, who is this beautiful big sister? She looks very familiar with Little Beijing." The little beggar took a piece of barbecue and put it in his mouth, grinning from the heat.
Wild Wolf was also puzzled: "I often work under Little Beijing, and I have never heard of such a person."
Ye Ran sighed: "I tell you, that big-breasted woman is Mr. Jin's ex-girlfriend. I heard that they were both preparing to get married, but Mr. Jin fell in love with another woman and abandoned her."
"Well, knowing that this place is full of dangers, the big-breasted woman still came here without hesitation to find the answer, just to ask Mr. Jin in person what he meant."
"What?!"
"So Little Beijing is this kind of person!"
The little beggar was shocked, but he didn't stop eating.
Ye Ran nodded: "Is this true? Who is Mr. Jin? He is the top young man in Kyoto. There are so many private matters you don't know!"
After the voice fell, the three of them all looked at Mo Qingyu on the side.
Mo Qingyu, who was eating barbecue, was holding a bowl with a confused look on his face: "Why are you looking at me?"
"Nothing."
The three of them said in unison, and then fixed their eyes on Xiao Beijing and Mu Qian.
At this time, the two people who were arguing suddenly stopped talking and turned to look at the crowd.
Xiao Beijing couldn't stand it, and explained to everyone directly: "Boss Ye is slandering, he is slandering me!"
"This woman is my father's secretary, not his ex-girlfriend, don't listen to Boss Ye's nonsense!"
Mu Qian really didn't feel like continuing to talk, and his tone was also mixed with a little gunpowder: "Young Master, are you going back with me?"
Xiao Beijing snorted: "I still say the same thing, it's impossible!"
"Then don't blame me for being violent!" Mu Qian's face turned cold, and he stood up in a spurt.
Seeing that this woman was serious, Little Beijing immediately rolled and crawled to the side, hiding directly behind Ye Ran, and shouted: "Boss Ye, beat her up!"
Mu Qian couldn't help but frowned: "Mr. Ye, I know you have a good relationship with the young master. If you really care about him, don't meddle in other people's business."
Ye Ran looked at him calmly and chuckled, "Don't be so angry, or I'll beat the shit out of you and it won't look good."
Mu Qian looked unhappy. Although he didn't like the evil cultivator in front of him, he had to admit that he was indeed powerful.
Taking Xiao Beijing back could only be considered in the long run. It probably wouldn't work if he forced it.
Thinking about it, Mu Qian sighed and said, "Forget it, wait until you finish your business before going back, but for the safety of the young master, I must follow."
Xiao Beijing poked his head out and said with an unhappy face, "Who asked you to follow? Can you go back by yourself?"
Ye Ran raised his hand to interrupt Xiao Beijing and said, "Forget it, she is Mr. Jin's personal guard. Don't make the relationship too stiff, otherwise it will be difficult for you and me to report after we go back."
Hearing what Ye Ran said, Xiao Beijing didn't want to push it any further, so he acquiesced to Mu Qian staying.
Since the previous tension had not yet dissipated, there was no topic to talk about after people sat down again. No one spoke, and the atmosphere was very awkward.
After eating and drinking, Ye Ran was the first to speak: "I believe I read the message you left in a cave, so where is the golden tree?"
As soon as the topic was opened, the atmosphere in the thatched house was immediately relieved.
Little Beijing touched his chin and pointed to the top of his head: "You may not believe it when I tell you, the golden tree is in the Heavenly Palace."
"What do you mean?" Ye Ran didn't understand, so he asked.
"It's a long story about the Heavenly Palace. I'll explain it to you later." Xiao Beijing said, and then he turned his eyes to the soul-catching umbrella beside him: "Boss Ye, you didn't release the little ghost you raised, did you?"
Ye Ran was even more confused: "I haven't released it yet, what do you mean?"
Xiao Beijing took a sip of tea, and then said: "Fortunately you didn't, otherwise your little ghost would have been raised in vain."
"According to Mr. Jin's investigation, this soul-enchanting pond will eat souls!"
"Mr. Jin, I know you have seen a lot of strange things, but this time, it will definitely subvert your cognition."
"There is a special magnetic field in the soul-enchanting pond, you should have known this long ago , and what Mr. Jin wants to say is that the magnetic field of this place can not only interfere with electronic equipment, but also wipe out souls! "
"The specific principle has not been figured out yet, but before you came, Yelang and I had seen with our own eyes that a soul was wiped out of nothingness by the magnetic field here."
"In order to verify this principle, I had no choice but to let Qingyu use some means to forcibly summon a dead person's soul out of the body."
"However, when the soul appeared, its soul body burned automatically, and after a few seconds it completely turned into nothingness."
"Little Beijing spoke with passion and told the whole story.
After listening to this explanation, Ye Ran also felt a little incredible.
