Chapter 12
Originally, crossing the Monkey Arm Mountain should be a fairly easy task.

This road is flat and spacious, moving forward gently along the mountainside, but the dense fog that locks the dense forest just blocks the important thoroughfare of this Silk Road.

While talking, the four came to the edge of the dense forest.

There is already a faint mist here, and it was originally a cloudy day, but as soon as it came into contact with the slightest mist, people couldn't help but shiver.

Xu Huwei, who was walking in front, tightened the reins in his hand to stop the horse, turned over and dismounted neatly, and then said to Uncle Zhang and the others: "The fog will get thicker as we go further. For the sake of safety, let's get off the horse and move forward."

After the three of them dismounted in response, Guard Xu took the reins in their hands and was about to tie the horse to a pine tree on the side of the road. Well, once we enter the dense forest, we must be tied together with a rope, and we must not get separated."

Xia Yun has been holding Ran'er's hand since she got off the horse, and now she even regrets that she has to follow up the mountain, and it's the kind of introduction.

It was too late to regret, she could only hold onto Ran'er tightly, but Ran'er looked at the thick fog in the distance with a pair of big eyes, with a serious face.

Uncle Zhang glanced at the two, then turned to Xu Huwei and said, "Let's go!"

The fog was getting thicker and thicker, and his vision was beginning to be a little blurry. Xia Yun suddenly called out, "Look, there are several horses ahead, let's go over and have a look." He quickened his pace as he spoke.

"That should be the young master's horse." Xu Weiwei obviously saw the tied horses a long time ago.

"Let's go, go and have a look." Uncle Zhang also quickened his pace.

When the four of them came to the front, they saw that besides the tied horses, there were government notice boards on the side of the road.

"Recently, due to the weather, the dense fog here is difficult to disperse. Please take a detour to avoid getting lost in the dense fog and accidents." Xia Yun said angrily after reading the content of the notice: "This notice is completely perfunctory! "

Ran'er couldn't help laughing and said: "You, it can't be said that the strange fog persists."

Uncle Zhang looked at the two of them and said indifferently: "That will confuse people's hearts."

At this time, Guard Xu came over with a bundle of ropes, and said with a serious face: "Whatever the fog, we have to tie it together with ropes. In the past, we probably couldn't see anything. We have to find the young master and the others as soon as possible. "

Xu Huwei still hasn't figured out why Uncle Zhang let him bring them up like this.

"It's not too late, fasten it." Uncle Zhang echoed, and then told Xu Huwei: "We will walk along the main road in a while. If there is no movement in the middle of the walk, we should go back first. Get off the road and go into the woods."

"This subordinate understands!" Xu Huwei checked the knots on Ran'er and Xia Yun's wrists again, and after confirming that there was no problem, he tied the end of the rope to Uncle Zhang's wrist.

"The fog is so thick, how can we find my brother and the others? Do we need to shout? Could it be that my brother didn't find it and attracted a monster or some beast." But he was a little timid, not even daring to speak loudly.

Ran'er stretched out her hand to hold Xia Yun, and comforted her softly: "Even though there is a rope, you should tighten it and I won't let go. Let's go in and play by ear. It's definitely not appropriate to shout loudly. It shouldn't be too much of a problem to call softly."

Uncle Zhang also nodded in agreement and said, "Just play by ear, don't be reckless."

"Don't worry, Uncle Zhang, I don't dare to run around by myself!" Xia Yun stuck out his tongue.

The fog is really thick. Although Ran Er has been holding Xia Yun's hand, Ran Er can't see Xia Yun's figure at this time. There is nothing but whiteness in front of him. He can only hold on to the rope and follow Xu Huwei. Move forward carefully.

"Ran'er, are you there?" Xia Yun asked anxiously, her voice trembling.

Ran'er quickly comforted: "I'm not pulling you, don't worry, I'll always be by your side."

"But I don't feel that you are by my side at all." Xia Yun's voice was already crying.

Seeing this, Xu Huwei suggested: "Why don't we retreat." He felt that the fog was much thicker than last time, and it suppressed the entire dense forest, and the feeling of uneasiness became stronger and stronger. The two girls and Uncle Zhang, let alone other things, it might be a bit difficult to go back the same way after walking like this for a while.

Uncle Zhang also felt that the fog was unusual, and bumping into it like this was not an option, so he agreed, "Let's go back, first step back to a position where we can see things." Then he asked Ran'er and said, "Miss Yang, what do you think?" Woolen cloth?"

"Listen to Uncle Zhang." Ran'er also thought it was better to go back first,

This fog is completely different from what I imagined. Although I am not afraid, it does not mean that there will be no danger. If there is danger, she can't even guarantee self-protection, let alone Xia Yun.

"Yunyun, hold me tight, we'll retreat right away." Ran'er said softly to Xia Yun.

"..." Xia Yun didn't react at all, and he didn't move.

"Yunyun?" Ran'er yelled again, a bad thought arose in his heart.

"..." Still no response.

At this moment, Uncle Zhang and Xu Huwei also found out that something was wrong with Xia Yun, the person who had been talking about it before, now had no voice at all.

"Clouds!"

"Miss!"

The two called out at the same time.

However, there is still no response.

Ran Er hastily pulled Xia Yun's hand vigorously, Xia Yun, who had been held by Ran Er, suddenly broke away from Ran Er's hand, and kept yelling: "Let me go, let me go!" open me."

Ran'er didn't expect Xia Yun to react like this, and at the same time she stretched out her hand to grab Xia Yun's position in surprise, but it was in vain.

Uncle Zhang also shouted at the same time: "Quick, hold her, something happened."

But when he pulled along the rope, he realized that Xia Yun had untied the rope tied to his wrist at some point.

"Yunyun!" Uncle Zhang yelled anxiously, but he was completely unable to determine Xia Yun's location in the thick fog.

"Father, wait for Yunyun, father, please don't leave, Father, my brother and I miss you this year, father, where are you going, wait for Yunyun, Yunyun wants to go with you... .”

Only Xia Yun was crying and calling, and the voice seemed to have left them.

Ran'er can't take care of so much at this moment, she only has one thought in her mind, she must catch up with Xia Yun, and she must not let anything happen to her.

Without thinking about it, she untied the rope tied around her wrist, followed Xia Yun's voice, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Yunyun, stop, don't run around, your father has been away for more than a year , that must be an illusion, so..."

The two voices intertwined, one before the other, getting farther and farther away.

Uncle Zhang also wanted to chase after him anxiously, but Xu Huwei grabbed his arm, "Uncle Zhang, you must not chase by yourself anymore, you must stay with me, and we will go towards the direction of the sound together."

"Then go!" Uncle Zhang said, the speed under his feet did not slow down.Nothing will happen to Yunyun, Uncle Zhang inexplicably pins his hopes on Ran'er, hoping that she can catch up with Yunyun.

Ran'er followed the sound for a while, but bumped into a tree trunk when she didn't want to.

"Ugh..."

Ran'er squatted down in pain, covered her forehead with both hands, and she calmed down after a while. She quickly looked around, but the surrounding area was still white and nothing could be seen, and the whole dense forest was terrifyingly quiet, as if the world only She is the only one left.

Ran'er always thought that she was an angel from the heavens, not afraid of the demons and ghosts in the world, and she also thought that with her by her side, Xia Yun would be safe and sound, but after only a while, she lost Xia Yun, feeling guilty Feelings poured into my heart instantly.

Standing up annoyed, Ran'er didn't care about the pain in her forehead, she only thought about getting Xia Yun back as soon as possible no matter what.

She closed her eyes, opened her hands, tried to release the incomplete breath in her body, felt the situation in the dense forest under the dense fog, and tried to find where Xia Yun was.

Although the power of the demon king in her body was temporarily suppressed, the only breath she had was not enough to support her to explore the dense forest, but she inadvertently let the thick fog around her disperse a lot, and she could even see the surrounding things clearly.

However, after a while, Ran'er felt that she was exhausted and could hardly stand on her feet.

At this moment, Ran'er felt an extremely cold breath coming towards her quickly. She quickly stabilized her body and stepped aside, only to see a white figure had already fallen to where she was just now. In the air, he turned around and attacked in Ran'er's direction.

This time Ran'er didn't dodge, she concentrated all her breath on her right hand, and then stretched out her hand to meet the white shadow figure, only to see a "Boom -", a soft white light radiated from around Ran'er, the figure He was thrown a foot away before he stabilized his body, but he was not injured at all.

It was only now that Ran'er could see her appearance clearly, the most striking thing was her fluffy messy hair hanging from both sides of her cheeks to her waist, her pair of deeply sunken eyes turned out to be dark green, and her pale melon-like face was always hung with The look of resentment, but the green lips have been raised in a half-smile, as if mocking something.

The clothes on her body can no longer be seen in style, they are worn out and gray-white, like strips of tattered gray gauze hanging on her body, barely covering her withered body, Ran'er seems to be able to see that there seems to be a lot of pain from her neck to her chest. Odd, green totem patterns resembling twigs.

Could it be that she is the evil spirit in this dense fog?

Is it a monster or a monster?

But she looks more like a ghostly existence.Before Ran'er could figure it out and see the truth, she saw the female ghost she thought raised her arms again, waved the tattered gauze, and rushed towards herself with a cold breath.

The blow just now had exhausted Ran'er's full strength, seeing the female ghost rushing towards him again, Ran'er could only back away and turn around to avoid it.

The female ghost made another pounce, but she still didn't give up and continued to pounce on Ran'er, avoiding and pounced again and again.

This time Ran'er's retreat was blocked by a big tree, seeing the green light in the female ghost's eyes, her lips parted in a half-smile, she was about to throw herself on top of her.

Ran'er was so startled that she leaned against the tree, raised her arms to protect her head, and didn't care so much when she was in danger, she wanted to spread the pair of huge white wings on her back to protect herself.

However, the injury was too severe, and he had exhausted all his strength in the blow just now, and now he didn't have the ability to spread his wings at all.

However, after a while, she didn't see the female ghost pounce on her. She put down her arms in doubt, and looked around, but there was no shadow of the female ghost, but the thick fog that had just dissipated gradually gradually disappeared. came rushing over.

Ran'er was a little annoyed, the female ghost should be related to the thick fog, but he couldn't beat her or catch her, now she was gone, how could he find Xia Yun?

Suddenly a hand patted Ran'er's shoulder lightly. Ran'er was startled, thinking that the female ghost had appeared again, but why didn't she notice the coldness in her body this time?

Turning around suddenly, he saw a thin and kind old man, he smiled at Ran'er, and said: "The little girl is not human." Then he looked at Ran'er and said: "And she is of a foreign race."

Ran'er was stunned by this kind old man who appeared suddenly, she stared at him with wide eyes, "Who are you?" How could he see through her essence at a glance.

The old man didn't answer Ran'er's question, but kept looking at Ran'er, "No wonder you couldn't beat her. It turns out that you were injured, and it was quite serious. It's a pity, it's a pity."

Ran'er was even more surprised now, and she could still see that she was injured, so she couldn't help asking: "Old man, who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that you can't control that girl, what a pity." The old man shook his head and said, as if he was speaking to Ran'er, but also as if he was talking to himself.

Ran'er was confused and said: "Old man, the girl you are talking about is the female ghost who just fought with me!"

"Yes, that's her." The old man nodded.

"You call her Nvwa?" Ran Er felt more and more incredible.

Alas... The old man sighed and said: "She is also a hard-working person, what a pity, the obsession is too deep!"

Ran'er suddenly felt that she couldn't keep talking to this nagging old man anymore. Although she was also curious why the female ghost was also a miserable person, Xia Yun hadn't been found yet. One more danger.

That's right, Ran'er thought about it, although the old man's origin is unknown, he should not be a bad person. He could see himself fighting with the female ghost, so maybe he could know Xia Yun's whereabouts.

"Old man, I'm asking you for someone!" Ran'er said respectfully.

"What you want to ask is the girl who came with you before!" Before Ran'er asked, the old man already knew who Ran'er wanted to ask.

Ran'er said happily: "You really know. Where is she, old man, please take me to find her."

"Don't worry, she was fascinated by Xueying. I lured her to my house to sleep. She will be fine after waking up. I will take you there and follow me." The old man said and went to the deep forest Go in the direction of the place.

Ran'er hurriedly followed the steps, and asked a little puzzled: "Xueying? Old man, could Xueying be that female ghost just now?"

"Yes, that's her."

"Is this dense fog related to her?"

"This thick fog is the illusion of her grievances. If the grievances don't go away, the fog won't disperse!"

No wonder I felt inexplicably sad and sad when I saw the thick fog on the way here, Ran'er thought to himself, and then asked puzzledly: "Old man, in this case, why don't you resolve Xueying's resentment and return this dense forest It's safe."

"Do you think I don't want to?" The old man shook his head impatiently and said, "I can't do it!"

"Huh?" Ran'er felt even more incredible.

At this moment, Ran'er was surprised to find that although the surrounding area was shrouded in thick fog, wherever the old man went, the thick fog dispersed automatically, and after he and the old man left, the thick fog shrouded back again.

From this point of view, this old man is definitely not very human.
