How can a fairy be a villain?

Chapter 16 Climbing Black Bark Mountain Again

The next morning, Spring Palace.

Several swordsmen of the Taoist guards rode bay red horses and escorted a carriage to a slow stop in front of the mansion.

There have been people waiting in front of the house for a long time.

Murong Jingyan changed into the robe she wore when she first woke up today. After the blood was washed away, the white robe with the phoenix on the cuffs looked even more luxurious. The loose fabric made her slender figure look a bit more powerful.

Behind him, apart from Xu Guanshi and other servants, Quan Wang also went out to see him off in person.

"Li'er, do you really want to go to Black Bark Mountain with them?" Quan Wang showed a sad face, and after scanning the convoy several times, he shook his head, obviously he didn't think much of the group of people in front of him.

Murong Jingyan turned her head and bowed, after these days of company, not only did he become acquainted with the servants of Prince Quan's Mansion, but also with this cheap old man as if he was his own.

Every day, Quan Wang would send someone to ask Murong Jingyan what he wanted to eat, and then he would cook for himself. Knowing that Murong Jingyan was wearing an inappropriate mask, he skillfully wove a pair of bamboo hats.

Murong Jingyan would also chat with Quan Wang, maybe Quan Wang had been alone for a long time, and every time Murong Jingyan endured sleepiness to accompany the little old man to doze off before leaving, it was considered a reward for cheating him.

Fortunately, this day is coming to an end, otherwise there will be family affection.

"Father, don't worry, Counselor Zhou's trip is only to go to Heiba ​​Mountain to investigate and then leave. I will use this to avoid the limelight, and I can get from that Xie Zao. Heh."

Quan Wang nodded, and Murong Jingyan did not hide from Quan Wang that he used Xie Zao to obtain the other half of the jade pendant, and Quan Wang also acquiesced.

"Oh, it's useless to blame the father, otherwise Xie Pi would have to obediently return the jade pendant with a word for the father."

"If you encounter any difficulties, Li'er, you must remember not to be brave, and put your own safety first."

Hearing Quan Wang's instructions, Murong Jingyan felt a little warm in her heart, although Quan Wang was not her father, but the concern for her was the same.

"Of course, when Li'er recovers his ancestral blood, he can solve the current threat from the Xie family, and he will also help father find a good doctor to take care of his body."

For some reason, Murong Jingyan noticed that King Huaquan's complexion changed after the words fell.

Did I say something wrong?
Fortunately, the next moment King Quan showed a kind smile, patted Murong Jingyan on the shoulder and said softly:
"Okay, Li'er, I will wait for you to come back for my father."

Watched by Quan Wang and others, Zhou Xing greeted Murong Jingyan into the carriage, then he waved the reins and officially started the journey to Heipi Mountain.

Yazhou is located in the west of Dayan Dynasty.

Thousands of years ago, this place was also full of aura, until a catastrophe and immortal disaster turned it into a piece of scorched earth, and then Yazhou became a frontier fortress, a place where monks rarely set foot.

In addition to Xuancheng, the main city of Yazhou, which can attract monks, there is another place, which is the Black Bark Mountain a year ago.

At dusk, the outline of the Black Bark Mountain finally appeared in the sky.

Zhou Xing yawned, turned his head and asked Murong Jingyan in the carriage:
"Princess, the Black Bark Mountain is ahead, do you want to rest for a while?"

Murong Jingyan's voice came from inside: "It's been a hard day, and the brothers of the Department of Defense should be tired too. I brought some pastries here. When we reach the foot of the mountain, you can share them."

Hearing these words, the soldiers who had stayed up all night immediately regained their spirits.

Originally, they were dissatisfied with bringing the princess, but Zhou Xing gave too much and promised not to put himself in danger, so they agreed to add this carriage.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the foot of the Black Bark Mountain, and it was completely dark.

Looking around, the deep mountains and old forests can be said to be invisible in the night, and only a few people lit the bonfire to barely illuminate the square inch of the land.

Zhou Xing came to the car with a torch.

As the curtain was lifted, Murong Jingyan walked out gracefully. Under the light of the torch, her fair face had a kind of hazy beauty, and Zhou Xing couldn't help but stare in awe.

"Hey, Counselor Zhou?"

Zhou Xing was awakened by Murong Jingyan's voice, he quickly touched the tip of his nose and turned to lead the way.

What's the matter, why can't I speak?
Murong Jingyan didn't notice that he put the food box in his hand on the ground, and the mung bean cakes inside were fresh, and he specially asked Uncle Xu to buy them.

"Several big brothers can eat at ease, there is not enough in the car."

"Last time I was chased into the mountain, but Fu Da Ming Da did not die, so I presumably won't drag you down."

Several soldiers grabbed it happily, and Murong Jingyan also showed a smile.

After today, most of them will never meet these people again. They are the ones who led themselves out of the deep mountains and old forests. Now that they take themselves into danger again, they can repay a little bit.

"what."

Murong Jingyan suddenly called out.

Zhou Xing hurried up after hearing the sound: "What's the matter, princess?"

"Counselor Zhou, can you lend me your torch for a while, I wonder?" Murong Jingyan squeezed out a smile, raised her eyebrows and looked towards the dark forest.

Zhou Xing immediately understood the meaning of these words, blushed and handed out the torch, faltering and saying:

"Princess, the mountain is too dark this night, you will be afraid if you are alone."

Murong Jingyan showed an embarrassed smile, and took the torch: "I'm not afraid, I'll let Counselor Zhou worry about it, so I'll go back as soon as I go."

After saying that, Murong Jingyan turned around and walked into the darkness.

Zhou Xing waited for Murong Jingyan to disappear, and then supported the big tree with one hand and let out a long breath. He caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye, and turned his head to look at the bonfire.

"Look at that, eat your mung bean cake!"

The big men suddenly burst into laughter, and no one could see Zhou Xing's little thought.

After a long time, Zhou Xing did not see Murong Jingyan come back.

Feeling a little uneasy, he tried to call Princess Yunli a few words, and then decisively drew out his long knife and rushed into the bushes. There was no princess, only an extinguished torch.

"broken."

Zhou Xing picked up the torch and secretly said something was wrong.

"Young master, this way is closer."

The shadow of the moon whirled in the Black Bark Mountain, and two figures walked through the dense forest.

Liu Meiniang was wearing night clothes, but it couldn't conceal her graceful figure, while Murong Jingyan was holding a pure white saber, running closely behind Liu Meiniang, with light steps.

Although this body did not break through the ground lock, fortunately, it has practiced martial arts all the year round. Looking thin, it is actually a good choice for both endurance, speed and flexibility.

Murong Jingyan narrowed her eyes slightly, all of this was planned.

Going out of the city with Wei Daosi is not only to hide people's eyes and ears, but also to avoid any attacks on the way, but in the Black Bark Mountain, the more people there are, the safer it is.

After achieving his goal and awakening the ability of ancestral blood to cultivate immortals, he immediately left this emerald city and returned to Duotian Tower to start his wretched development.

After all, the outside world is too dangerous, Xie Pi's aura is scary enough, and that guy with orange hair and golden eyes that day is even more scary, just looking at it gave me an extremely uneasy feeling.

It seems that becoming an immortal is also a way out.

Liu Meiniang is as light as a swallow, jumping between the branches, and from time to time she sends out a sword to cut down the rotten wood for Murong Jingyan who is running below.

"Little Lord."

Liu Meiniang asked: "That fellow Xie Zao promised to meet at the temple on Heipi Mountain tomorrow morning, why are we rushing there now?"

Murong Jingyan raised her head: "Before that, I have one more thing, no need to ask."

Black Bark Mountain is not a high mountain, but a low and ordinary hill. The mountain road is difficult to walk, but within an hour, the two of them came to the ruined temple.

The corpses in front of the temple have been eaten up by wild beasts in the mountains, leaving only some shoes and socks buried in the soil.

"Meiniang, wait for me outside the temple."

Murong Jingyan walked to the front of the temple and suddenly told him that he couldn't forget that day when he saw that the corpses outside were all killed by cannibalism, maybe the reason why he survived was related to being alone.

So it's better not to have outsiders around.

Especially those who are stronger than me.

Liu Meiniang nodded, and in a blink of an eye, she flew to a tree in the distance to protect Murong Jingyan.

Taking a deep breath, Murong Jingyan walked into the ruined temple again.

The temple was quiet, and the stone statue of the immortal master still couldn't see his face clearly, giving people a gloomy and strange feeling.

And Murong Jingyan's gaze was fixed on the underside of the incense platform.

"Why do I always feel that this chicken is very important."
