Chapter 1730 The Mountain That Cannot Be Entered
Qin Yan sneaked in to get some information, but who knows that these guys just need to capture men. Compared with selling their own brothers, Qin Yan, an outsider who came under the banner of surrender, is naturally the best choice.
Qin Yan cursed secretly, and entangled with the bandits for a few more words, and then reluctantly followed the people who were driven in.
Of course, this was pretending.
Although it was a bit of a bummer to be sold, being able to go in and take a look openly was also considered to be sneaking in.
Apart from anything else, Qin Yan was still very confident about the mechanism. Besides, there were not only monsters around him, but also Li Chengxi, the immortal, watching over him, so he felt very safe.
Qin Yan suddenly understood why Yang Yiyi was so reckless. This kind of stable sense of security was probably what Yang Yiyi felt.
Pretending to be reluctant, in order to prevent the bandits from seeing through her flaws and blending into the crowd, Qin Yan slowed down her pace and said to the vixen behind her:
"Take off my illusion, don't take off yours, it will scare others."
The vixen nodded and did as she was told. Because it was dark, no one in the crowd noticed that the man who was a short man the previous second had turned into a woman in her twenties the next second.
Touching her body to confirm that the illusion had been removed, Qin Yan took a few quick steps and caught up with an old man who must be in his sixties or seventies.
"Old man, what's wrong with you?"
Qin Yan was very good at using her own advantages. She would scare the people with her ferocious illusion skin, but changing to her original face would reduce their vigilance.
When the old man saw that Qin Yan was a young woman, he didn't suspect that she was also a bandit.
"Miss, were you also captured?"
Qin Yan nodded and said:
"I was captured when I was following the caravan back home to visit my relatives. Why don't you want a ransom, but bring us here instead?"
"From your accent, you are not from around here."
The old man said:
"This Erlang Mountain has been very strange recently. There are strange noises every night. Hunters dare not walk around. There are also rumors that there are man-eating monsters in it, looking for food every night."
The old man obviously didn't know that there were two real monsters behind Qin Yan.
"Have you ever seen a monster?"
"Look at what you said, who has seen it?"
The old man sighed:
"All the villagers in the nearby villages were captured. I'm afraid... Oh, what a sin. If you pass the sword and horse, you won't survive."
"Pass the sword and horse?"
The old man seemed to feel that he was going to die soon, and wanted to say something. He pointed to the Erlang Mountain which was getting closer and closer and said:
"When I was a child, I heard from my family that Erlang Mountain was mysterious and could not be approached easily. Look at the top of the mountain. Does it look like a knife? The other side looks like a galloping horse. So the older generation said that after passing the Iron Knife Peak and the Galloping Horse Peak, life and death depended on God's will. No one went to Erlang Mountain at all, not to mention that there are monsters in it now."
The bandits said there were treasures in it, and the local people said there were monsters in it and could not be approached easily.
It is normal that the two parties get different information. Qin Yan asked:
"Have you heard of the Cloud-Bearing Cave?"
"I have never heard of it. Do you still have the mind to think about these things now?"
"Thank you, old man."
"Alas..."
The old man shook his head without saying anything. Looking back, he found that Qin Yan had disappeared.
You can't chase a person to get information. Qin Yan specifically asked older people who might know more about the area.
The information obtained is also similar. In short, Erlang Mountain cannot be entered.
Erlang Mountain is shaped like a crescent moon. A valley is opened in the middle. On the left is the Iron Knife Peak and on the right is the Horse-Running Peak. No one knows what the inside looks like because no one dares to go in.
Mixed in the crowd, Qin Yan lowered her head and covered her mouth and whispered:
"Brother Li, do you see anything?"
The reactions of the people were similar. They were like losing their parents. They all said that Erlang Mountain could not be entered.
If there was really something weird, Li Chengxi would definitely be able to see it.
"No, I haven't found anything strange yet."
Li Chengxi said:
"However, the Iron Knife Peak and the Galloping Horse Peak reminded me of something else."
"What?"
"The Iron Knife Drinking Horse of Yezimen."
Li Chengxi has always been very curious about why the treasure of Yezimen is called the Iron Knife Drinking Horse.
That thing is obviously a discus, at most a discus that can be opened.
It can barely be considered a knife in appearance, but it has nothing to do with drinking horses.
But considering that Shen Qingshuang once personally tried to grab this thing, what if the Iron Knife Drinking Horse is closely related to Erlang Mountain?
After the Iron Knife Drinking Horse is unfolded, there is a nine-square grid composed of 9981 squares, which may be a hint or method to unlock a certain mechanism.
But other than that, there is nothing.
It's hard to say now, but Li Chengxi just thought of the Iron Knife Drinking Horse.
We have to continue to see what's going on.
However, for safety reasons, Li Chengxi said:
"I'll ask Yiyi and Ning Xian'er to come around, don't walk too fast."
Qin Yan nodded to show that she understood, and Li Chengxi stopped talking immediately.
Although Qin Yan wanted to slack off, they were not far from Erlang Mountain, and the bandits behind them kept urging them. No matter how slowly the crowd walked, it would not take a few minutes to reach the valley in the middle of Erlang Mountain that looked like a knife cut and an axe split.
At this time, the moon appeared from behind the hazy clouds, and a layer of silver light sprinkled on the ground, which was reflected by the snow, making the vision much clearer.
Qin Yan saw that there was a large mass of thick cold fog in front of the crowd, and the crowd was forced into the fog by the bandits.
And strangely enough, people would disappear within five or six meters of the fog, and could not see what was on the other side.
When Qin Yan saw the cold fog clearly, it was time for her to be driven in. Unless she turned her face now, she could only follow in.
Li Chengxi seemed to be guiding Yang Yiyi and Ning Xianer to come around, so he didn't say anything. Qin Yan was a little unsure.
She stepped back half a step and grabbed the hands of the fox spirit and the capybara spirit to make sure she would not get separated from them, and then stepped into the cold fog.
Almost the moment she stepped in, the sound in her ears disappeared.
There were many people around, some crying and some sighing, but these sounds disappeared, as if only Qin Yan was left.
She tightened her fingers and found that she was still holding the... um, claws of the two monsters, which was a little relieved, and then continued to move forward.
The disappearance of the sound was just the first abnormality. Qin Yan found that her sense of direction had been completely blinded. She couldn't even tell if she was walking in a straight line.
This feeling was not that she couldn't tell the direction, but it was like being drunk and couldn't walk in a straight line.
In the current situation, Qin Yan might not be able to walk out even if she turned back immediately.
She walked two more steps crookedly without being able to tell whether she was walking crookedly or not. The cold fog around her became thicker and thicker, so thick that she could hardly see her hand in front of her.
At the same time, Qin Yan found that the cold fog was not ordinary water vapor, but more like extremely cold ice, and also like a cold hand. Every step she took seemed to be gently caressing her exposed cheeks, which made her hair stand on end.
