Chapter 162 Strange Things Happening on the Mountain Path
Li Sushang said from the side.
“Alright, alright. The three girls are still here. You guys should restrain yourselves.”
Lei Jingyun hurriedly explained.
“No… I really didn’t…”
Li Sushang glared at Lei Jingyun, and he didn’t dare to speak anymore.
Jiang Ping and Qiu Chi were still snickering.
In the end, Liu’er tugged at the corner of Jiang Ping’s clothes.
She asked when they would set off.
Jiang Ping and Qiu Chi finally stopped laughing. Then, they got into the carriage and continued to move in the direction of Xianlai Island.
In Longyan Town, in a particular inn.
A low-spirited young Taoist priest was dragging himself up the stairs. After pushing open the door of his room, he saw that his master had already woken up and was preparing to pack his things.
The old Taoist priest saw He Xiangjiang walk in.
He stared at He Xiangjiang’s haggard face with dark circles under his eyes.
He asked.
“Where did you go last night? Why did you end up like this?”
He Xiangjiang said in a tired voice.
“I was admiring the moon!”
He wouldn’t tell the old Taoist priest that he was stuck hanging on the roof all night because he didn’t dare to climb down, and in the end, he even fell off the roof.
The old Taoist priest was a little curious.
“Admiring the moon? When did you have the leisure ti to do such a thing?”
He Xiangjiang walked to the table, opened the baggage on the table, took out his clothes, and prepared to take off what he was wearing.
“I was in a good mood, so I went.”
The young Taoist priest said weakly. When the old Taoist priest saw He Xiangjiang was going to change his clothes, he found that his sleeve was stained with blood.
“Why did you end up in this state after admiring the moon?”
The old Taoist priest used two fingers to pinch He Xiangjiang’s sleeve.
After He Xiangjiang put on his clothes, he said.
“This is my nosebleed.”
The old Taoist priest released his fingers that were pinching the clothes with a look of disgust.
“Hey, I don’t know if you’re admiring the moon, but you must have gone to do sothing bad secretly.”
He Xiangjiang didn’t have the strength to refute his master and just asked. “Master, can we leave later?”
“I want to sleep for a while.”
The old Taoist priest nodded and said.
“Go to sleep then. We can make it in ti anyway.” “Get so money while you’re at it. I want to drink.”
He Xiangjiang pointed at the baggage on the table and said.
“Take it from the bag. Don’t spend it all.”
After saying that, he collapsed on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
The old Taoist priest did not go through the baggage on the table to get the money imdiately.
Instead, he walked to the bedside first and covered He Xiangjiang with the quilt.
Then, he muttered.
“He’s so stupid that it’s so cute. He doesn’t even know how to shout for help when he’s stuck hanging on the roof.”
After shaking his head, he took a few copper coins from the table, walked out of the door, and gently closed the door.
Jiang Ping and his group had already left Longyan Town for so distance.
After walking for about thirty miles, Qiu Chi stopped the carriage and let the horses rest for a while.
The three little girls in the carriage naturally wouldn’t sit still inside.
As soon as the carriage stopped, they imdiately jumped out.
This ti, they didn’t take the official road, but the forest path.
It was because the little girls kept clamoring all day long as they wanted to watch the scenery.
So they chose the path that was quieter but had a better view.
Once they got off the carriage, the three little girls seed to feel liberated.
They ran all over the mountains and plains.
Jiang Ping told them to be careful not to fall and didn’t bother them anymore.
The little girls walked into the forest.
Wan’er held her two younger sisters’ hands and said.
“When I left ho on my own previously, I had experience going into the mountains. I’ll take you with .”
The two little girls were both curious and afraid of the forest, so they carefully followed Wan’er.
Wan’er told her two younger sisters.
When she had entered the mountains, she had maintained order in the mountains.
By maintaining order, she ant that she was using her pair of fists to beat up the fierce carnivorous beasts that they did not dare to co out to hunt.
She had been eating wild fruits in the mountains for an entire month.
“I heard from daddy that there will be very fierce monsters in so mountains.”
“Sister Wan’er, do you think we will encounter them?”
Liu’er hid behind Wan’er and asked with fear and trepidation.
Wan’er held Liu’er’s hand and used more strength to hold it tightly.
“It’s okay, don’t be afraid. Even if there is such a monster, I will protect you.”
Although Yan’er was also a little afraid, she still did not want to lose to Wan’er.
Thus, she patted her small chest and said.
“It’s okay. I will protect Liu’er too.”
At this ti, Liu’er was not so afraid. She straightened her body and followed behind Wan’er.
After walking for a long distance, the three little girls realized that nothing dangerous had happened.
Thus, they let down their guard.
Wan’er said, “There don’t seem to be any ferocious beasts in this forest. Looks like I can’t show off to the two of you.”
Yan’er also asked curiously.
“It’s not just the ferocious beasts that Wan’er ntioned. I don’t even hear the chirping of birds.”
The three little girls looked around and realized that apart from the three of them, there were no other living creatures in this forest that could move.
Jiang Ping leaned against the carriage and seed to have noticed sothing.
He wanted to call Lei Jingyun over for a discussion.
Just as he lifted the curtain of the carriage, Lei Jingyun walked over and asked.
“Master, you noticed it too?”
Jiang Ping nodded.
“This forest is a bit strange. We’ve been here for so long, and besides the flowers and trees, there’s also us.”
“There’s no life at all.”
Lei Jingyun acknowledged and then said.
“I also found sothing strange just now. I used my spiritual energy to probe the surroundings and found that this forest is dead silent.”
Jiang Ping pondered for a mont.
He imdiately shouted to Qiu Chi who was not far away.
“Old Qiu, has the horse rested well?”
Qiu Chi stood on the spot and raised his hand to make a gesture, indicating that the horse could continue on its journey.
Jiang Ping said to Lei Jingyun.
“Go and bring Wan’er and the others back. We’ll leave now.”
“I don’t know what happened in this place, but it’s always right to avoid it.”
Lei Jingyun nodded, turned around, and was about to head into the forest.
Suddenly, a low roar sounded throughout the entire forest.
It sounded like the cry of so kind of fierce beast.
Without thinking, Jiang Ping directly flew into the air and flew into the depths of the forest.
Lei Jingyun told Qiu Chi and Li Sushang to stay where they were while he followed him in the air.
After the three little girls heard the low roar, they were a little surprised.
Yan’er said to the other two at this ti.
“The roar is so terrifying. Why don’t we go back?”
Liu’er was timid, so she quickly nodded and said yes.
Wan’er saw that her two younger sisters were not willing to go forward, so she could only nod and take them back.
Just as they were about to turn around.
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind ca from the depths of the forest.
Then, there was a loud thump.
It was as if there was a huge elephant treading on the ground.
Yan’er hurriedly urged.
“Let’s hurry up and leave.”
Wan’er did not hesitate. She held the hands of her two younger sisters and ran back.
However, the further they ran, the closer the thumping seed to be.
Soon, the footsteps had reached behind the three little girls.
Then, behind them, there was a roar that was even louder than before!
Liu’er was frightened. She stumbled, and the three little girls tripped and fell to the ground.
