Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 1525
Just when Master Hou Liao arrived at the foot of Xiling Snow Mountain, Ying Baoyue and Li Ji were hiding in an ox cart selling firewood.

"Aren't we about to catch up?"

In the depths of the firewood pile, Ying Baoyue looked at Li Ji who was leaning on the firewood pile and adjusting his breath.

It has been three days since they set off, but they did not arrive at the small town near the water vein as planned.

The reason why this happened was because they ran into the eight killers who were searching for their whereabouts as soon as they left Chongquan Town.

Although separated by dozens of feet, their luck is unmatched.

If it wasn't for her and Li Ji's foresight to seal all the true energy, they would probably have been exposed on the spot.

However, those eight people passed over the convoy they were supposed to take. Li Ji helped her to hide in the crowd and did not dare to approach the convoy, but watched the convoy leave helplessly.

Chongquan was a small place, and the next convoy to leave would not be until the next day, so she and Li Ji decided to walk without hesitation.

As a result, the eight people still flitted through the air from time to time, and Li Ji led her to hide and walk, and the time dragged on until the third day.

The continuous hiding and eating and sleeping in the open made the two physically and mentally exhausted.

Li Ji opened his eyes, "If I explode my true energy and take you away now, maybe I can catch up."

On the second day when the two were hiding in Tibet, they boarded a passing firewood truck and found another letter in the middle of the pile of firewood.The letter was in the familiar handwriting of the two, with two words written on it.

"Shen Shi."

Li Ji immediately understood that this was probably the time for the high-level ceremony to start.

Shen time is the second hour after noon, and it is already close to dusk.

Generally speaking, ceremonies such as high-level ceremonies start in the morning, but the mountain ghost abnormally sets the start time in the afternoon. I have to say that Li Ji suspects that the mountain ghost may not be able to catch up with Ying Baoyue if he finds out, so he deliberately Modified time.

The date of the high-level ceremony had been announced to the mainland two months ago, and it must not be changed now, so the mountain ghost moved the start time to the afternoon.

This letter is a notification from the mountain ghost, and it is also a reminder.

But even if the high-level ceremony is changed to start in the afternoon, it is still difficult for them to catch up.

Li Ji sat on the bullock cart that was not much faster than they were walking, and his mood sank to the bottom.Originally, according to the original plan, they were supposed to arrive at the small town by a river early this morning, but now that the sun had risen high, the small town was still gone.

"No need," Ying Baoyue shook his head, "Those eight people are nearby, it's too dangerous for you to explode your true energy now."

"According to the current itinerary, at least you can reach Hexi Town at noon. You should take a rest first."

Ying Baoyue looked at Li Ji who was leaning on the woodpile. Even though he was wearing a mask, he could still vaguely see the black and blue under his eyes.

After leaving Chongquan Town, Li Ji never slept again.

After being sealed with golden needles, his movements were much slower, but once the eight killers approached, he would immediately protect her behind him.

For the past three days, both of them have been greatly tortured mentally.

Ying Baoyue even wondered if the eight killers knew that they would do this on purpose. These eight killers kept passing by from all over the place. Although they couldn't find anyone, it made them feel like a frightened bird and exhausted their bodies and minds.

With such a mentally exhausted situation, Li Ji will have a full-scale burst of true energy to move at a high speed afterwards, and Ying Baoyue feels scalp numb just thinking about it.

The wheels under him rolled slowly. Although the ox cart was slow, it was at least stable enough for Li Ji to rest.

"Don't think so much now, close your eyes and rest for a while."

Li Ji shook his head, his black eyes fixed on her.

"If we set off again at noon, even if there is a little obstruction on the road, we will not have time to reach Xiling Snow Mountain before Shen Shi."

The fact that they failed to reach Hexi Town, which is close to the waterway, as originally planned had already made Li Ji understand that the plan would never catch up with the changes, and they could only leave time for the changes.

Li Ji closed his eyes, feeling the flow of true essence in his meridians.

"If you can't catch up, you can't catch up," Ying Baoyue made a decisive decision, holding Li Ji's shoulder, "It doesn't matter if you can't catch up, anyway, don't mess around."

Li Ji didn't expect Ying Baoyue to say that, so he opened his eyes wide.

It's already reached the last step, is she going to give up so lightly?

"Aren't you going to participate in the high-level ceremony? How can you..."

"Listen to me," Ying Baoyue took a deep breath, "I heard before that the high-level ceremony will be held for five days in total, and five levels must be passed, and the winner will be the one who reaches the summit at the end."

"You... how do you know this?" Li Ji was slightly taken aback.

The content of the high-level ceremony is extremely secret. It is said that it was established by Emperor Taizu in the past, but because it has not been officially held for a long time, no one knows the specific content of the high-level ceremony except for the white tiger god son Shangui. .

In the letter of credence that was announced to the whole continent, the mountain ghost never mentioned the comparison of the high-level ceremony. I am afraid that all the participants will be informed when they arrive at the scene.

Ying Baoyue was taken aback for a moment, realizing that she had accidentally slipped her tongue.

The content of the high-level ceremony was what she heard from Emperor Ying himself.

At that time, when the man was walking around in the hall with great interest to conceive the content of various ceremonies, he dragged her over to grind ink for him.

She was there to listen to his vision.

"I... I heard Murong Feixu mention it before," Ying Baoyue's brain turned quickly, "Did you know? The second prince of Hou Liao is actually the prince of Hou Liao himself."

Li Ji's eyes flashed, but he wasn't too surprised.

Ying Baoyue originally thought that such information could attract his attention, but he didn't expect that Li Ji was not surprised at all.

"You... already knew?"

"No," Li Ji shook his head, "but I think it's very appropriate. If such a smart person is not the prince of Hou Liao, the succession of the throne of Hou Liao may be a little dangerous."

Li Ji's gaze deepened slightly.

As far as the second son is concerned, that "Murong Feixu" is too talented. If such a person is not the prince, he is the root of the chaos.

Ying Baoyue opened her eyes slightly. Murong Feilan's performance in Soochow was already low-key enough, but she didn't expect Li Ji to think that he was unusual.

"Anyway, I heard from the prince of the Later Liao Dynasty. I guess he heard it from the mountain ghost."

Anyway, it is estimated that Murong Feilan's identity should have been exposed by this time, Ying Baoyue sold him without any psychological burden.

With Murong Feilan's words, even if Li Ji asked about it later, he would definitely be able to trick her into fooling her.

"So that's the case, so what are the five levels?" Li Ji asked while sitting on the rickety bullock cart.

Ying Baoyue thought about it and replied

"Yes……"

……

……

When Ying Bao opened his mouth, someone was asking this question under the Xiling Snow Mountain.

"His Royal Highness."

Ji Jiashu held the bamboo cards that Li Ji and Ying Baoyue used to go up the mountain in his palm, and looked up at Murong Feilan.

"How does this high-level ceremony compare?"
