Chapter 483: Exploring the Mountains
She started walking towards the outside of the mountain again, but because she was suppressing the evil energy in her body, the pain in her body became more and more obvious.
She gritted her teeth, endured the pain, jumped, and flew away quickly.
After coming out of the mountain, she tried her best to hide her body. After all, it was already much brighter outside, so she was still discovered by others.
She took a long detour away from the foot of the mountain where Yue Hejiang and others were.
When she returned to the village, the pain in her body became more severe and she broke out in cold sweats, which was extremely rare.
The guards around the house were very surprised to see her come back from outside, because except Gao You, Gao Zi and the leader of the guards, no one knew she was out and thought she was resting in the house.
In particular, she was obviously in a strange physical state at this time. Not only were her eyes covered with a cloth, but when she walked back, her steps were unsteady, as if she was injured.
"lady!"
After the guard cried out in surprise, Gao You and Gao Zi quickly ran over from the side of the house, "Master, what's wrong?"
They were all very nervous and hurried to support her.
Si He just said: "I'm fine."
With the support of Gao You and Gao Zi, she hurried back to the house. Fortunately, it was still early and the villagers had not yet gotten up. Moreover, she came back very secretly and the people who were following her outside the village did not notice.
Back in the house, Si He told the two of them, "Prepare hot water, I want to take a bath."
"Yes." Gao You replied, then looked at the cloth covering her eyes with concern, and said, "Master, are your eyes okay?"
Si He sat down on the chair tiredly and said, "It's okay. I just ran into some trouble. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."
Hearing her say this, Gao You had no choice but to hurry out of the house to prepare hot water.
Gao Zi poured her a glass of water without asking any questions.
Soon, several guards came into the room carrying buckets of hot water. After a busy period, Gao You and Gao Zi helped her to the bathtub after they left.
This was the first time she had someone help her take a bath. Her body was sore and she had no strength left. However, because she was wet with sweat and had gone to that place, she had a strange smell and was a little dirty. If she didn't wash, she wouldn't be able to sleep comfortably.
She took off her clothes one by one, revealing her fair skin and graceful figure. Her skin was smooth and delicate, without any signs of injury. Gao You and Gao Zi were a little puzzled. Where did she get injured?
Just as they were about to remove the cloth from her eyes, she stopped them, "No need to remove the cloth."
When she spoke, her voice was filled with fatigue. The two men had no choice but to obey her orders and help her bathe.
After she finished bathing, she lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
……
At this time, the sky was already bright, but the weather today was worse than yesterday, and it was gloomy.
Monk Changling and several Taoists sat in meditation at the foot of the mountain outside Lianyun Mountain for most of the night. Fortunately, nothing happened that night.
After daybreak, they ate some dry food and went into the mountains to explore the way.
Since Yue Hejiang had specifically instructed that Lianyun Mountain was of great importance, they had no choice but to follow his instructions and go into the mountain first to investigate the situation.
The mountain road was difficult to walk on, with large and small pieces of gravel scattered around. However, the villagers and pedestrians who had entered the mountain before had found a small path, and they continued along the path.
Now, the condensed fog above Lianyun Mountain has become much thinner and is not as thick as last night. As time passes, the cold and gloomy atmosphere in the vicinity has also become much thinner.
The contrast between day and night is obvious. If the sun comes out today, it will be even more obvious, and the fog in the sky will probably dissipate for the most part.
After a long time, they arrived at the rumored pit.
The evil energy here is very strong, and it is the place with the most obvious yin energy in this area.
They did not rush into the pit to investigate, but observed the surroundings first. Many people had been here before, some went into the mountains to hunt, and some came for the ancient tomb under the pit.
Because there were many footprints left on the ground, some big, some small, some deep, some shallow.
Chang Ling walked to a rock, squatted down, and carefully examined the patterns on the rock. It was a depiction of ancient sacrificial patterns, which also confirmed the existence of an ancient tomb underneath.
At this time, a Taoist said: "Although there is an ancient tomb here, it is not something that you would value so much, my lord. This is not a good feng shui treasure land."
The Taoist stroked his beard and looked at the feng shui terrain of Lianyun Mountain. Although several mountains collapsed due to the earthquake, some trends could still be seen from the surrounding mountains.
Another Taoist held a different opinion, saying, "That's wrong. You may think the terrain of Lianyun Mountain is not good now, but it can change. For example, a previous earthquake altered the trajectory of the acupuncture points on the mountain. Perhaps, hundreds or thousands of years ago, this place was indeed a rare Feng Shui treasure land."
As the two of them talked, they began to argue about this topic. Several others also followed suit and expressed their opinions. Only Monk Changling remained silent, just looking at the pit and the surrounding environment.
After a while, several Taoists discussed going into the pit. When they turned to look at Chang Ling, they saw him calculating good and bad luck with his fingers.
Their eyes were filled with disdain, mainly because he was too young, a young monk in his early twenties with only a little ability, but he was particularly valued by the young master, so they also had thoughts of comparison and isolation.
"Chang Ling, how's your divination?"
Hearing the oldest Taoist's question, Chang Ling frowned slightly and said, "This trip is very dangerous."
As soon as the words fell, someone sneered, "You're not going to back down just like that, are you?"
They didn't go into the mountain last night, mainly because they were worried about the strong yin energy at night. But now it was broad daylight, and there was really no need to be so timid. What's more, they just went into the pit to check the situation and had no plans to go deeper. They would discuss it again after they were sure that the danger was not serious.
But this Chang Ling spoke as if he was refusing to enter, which made them feel a little contemptuous.
"If you're scared, just stay here. We'll go down and take a look."
After all, they had been paid handsomely by Yue Hejiang to come here. Since they had agreed to go into the mountains to investigate, they couldn't just go there perfunctorily and then return, right? Wouldn't that be ruining their jobs?
Facing his contemptuous gaze and sarcasm, Chang Ling remained indifferent and said nothing, which meant he agreed to stay outside.
They smiled and turned to walk towards the pit. When they reached the opposite pit, they restrained their smiles, each took out a treasure, and moved forward cautiously.
Chang Ling looked at their backs and said, "Amitabha."
……
Outside Lianyun Mountain, some Taoists came one after another who wanted to go into the mountain to search for treasure. They all heard that an ancient tomb appeared here after the earthquake. Many people went into the mountain in the past two days, but no news has been heard since then.
But when they reached the foot of the mountain, they were stopped by a group of soldiers!
