"The jade disc in front of the mountain..."

Qiu Yan was sitting on his horse at the moment, listening to the spy's report. As for the carriage, it was behind him and moving slowly forward.

He pondered for a moment, and then asked again: "Do you know where this road should lead to?"

After asking this question, the spy turned to look at the guide, who quickly said: "Reporting to the Marquis, although this official road is in disrepair, there are still many people traveling back and forth. There is a village not far from the front of the road, and there are also many people traveling back and forth from the south and the north."

This guide did not come with Qiu Yan from the capital, but when he got off the boat in Mengzhou, the local officials heard that Qiu Yan was going north to Zezhou. They were afraid that he would take the wrong way, so they asked the post station to arrange people to come and lead the way. This person is very familiar with the area within a few miles, and there is no possibility of misremembering.

Now, the road in memory was suddenly blocked by a high mountain. It was really strange, and even made the guide think of ghosts and gods. He was uneasy and afraid that Qiu Yan would blame him for not leading the way well, so his hands and feet were shaking when he spoke.

Qiu Yan waved his hand and comforted him with a calm tone, which made the guide feel much more stable. Then he said: "Let me ask you, there is no mountain on this road in your memory, and does the village now overlap with the mountain?"

"This..." The guide was stunned when he heard it, and thought about it carefully. Sure enough, he found that the mountain overlapped with the town in his memory. "That's right, the Marquis is really perceptive!" At the end, he didn't forget to flatter him.

"So that's it, it's really this idea." Qiu Yan nodded, said no more, just waved his hand, and let the guide continue to lead the way.

There was a guard who came up to persuade him: "My Lord, since there is a high mountain blocking the road ahead, you might as well take a detour." These people are actually afraid of ghosts and gods.

Da Rui is a place where supernatural powers are revealed. There are endless gods and demons. Even the cultivators with cultivation often find it difficult to deal with them, let alone ordinary people. However, due to Qiu Yan's status, the guards can't say it directly. Otherwise, if there is a mountain on this good road, no one can feel at ease.

Qiu Yan shook his head and said, "Since I'm here, I have to go and see it. I have roughly guessed the origin of the mountain. There is such a rare sight. How can I let it go?"

As he said this, the others looked at each other, but they had to obey Qiu Yan's order and had to bite the bullet and move forward.

This suddenly appeared high mountain can actually be seen from a long distance, but only when you get closer can you see the steepness of this mountain clearly. This official road extends here and is suddenly covered and cut off by the mountain. The stone wall facing Qiu Yan and others is even smoother and steeper. Even if you want to climb, you can't find a foothold.

"This mountain is also a work of nature, not man-made." Just a glance. Qiu Yan captured the artistic conception of the whole mountain, and what he perceived was the breath from nature.

However, as long as you carefully observe the color of the leaves of the grass and trees on the mountain and the leaves on the roadside around. It is easy to see that the mountain and the land are not harmonious, and even the characteristics of the vegetation are different. It should be the difference formed by growing in different temperature climates.

This difference adds a touch of disharmony to the natural breath.

Following this difference, Qiu Yan's eyes flickered, and he vaguely found a vein of a dividing line. Following the vein, he soon saw a jade disk.

This jade disk glowed with a light green light, about ten feet high, with many reliefs on the surface, but if you look closely, the reliefs seem to be able to move, shining.

"The ten-foot green jade disk really attracts people's attention. No wonder you mentioned it specifically." Looking at the jade disk, Qiu Yan said to the guide while turning over and getting off the horse, walked to the jade disk, and carefully inquired about it.

The entire convoy also stopped, and all the guards, big and small, got off their horses. Some guards also came up and wanted to persuade Qiu Yan to pay attention to his own safety.

But the next moment, the jade disk suddenly burst into light, and the light was dazzling and filled the surroundings. Everyone present felt their hearts and minds shaken and dazed for a moment. When they came back to their senses, they had already arrived in a dense forest.

The breeze in the dense forest was warm, the ground was tilted, and the soles of the feet were full of black mud, revealing a fertile artistic conception. Such a sudden change made many guards and the guide frightened, showing panic expressions, looking around, and eager to find a safe place.

However, when they looked at it, they soon noticed that they were on the hillside of a high mountain deep in the mountains. Looking forward, they could find a dilapidated official road and a ten-foot-high green jade disk at the foot of the mountain.

"We suddenly came to the mountain?"

Recalling the previous scene, these people were shocked, and then they saw the figures of Qiu Yan and Qiu An in the forest. The two were walking slowly into the forest.

Seeing these two people, the guards seemed to have found their backbone and gathered around!

But as soon as they moved, there was a chirping sound coming from all around, followed by a group of dark and changing shadows swarming from all around!

"No! There is indeed a monster!"

Upon seeing this scene, the most timid among the group collapsed to the ground at once, and the guides and others howled at the top of their lungs. Of course, there were also the brave ones who drew their swords and were about to chop over!

But the next moment, a figure flashed, and it turned out to be Qiu An rushing over from a distance, hitting the necks of several people who had taken action one after another, and then changing positions. In a moment, all the guards and the guide fell to the ground.

After doing all this, Qiu An raised his hand and waved it, and his true essence surged out, turning into a blanket to cover the people who fell to the ground. Then he swayed and returned to Qiu Yan, asking: "Master, since you can see that this is an overlapping illusion, why waste time here? As long as you give an order, I will definitely destroy all the illusions here."

Qiu Yan's cultivation of the human body was sealed in the human bead. His body quality is higher than that of ordinary people, and his senses are also sensitive, but when he really wants to use his magical powers, it is not so convenient, and Qiu An needs to do it.

Such news has been circulating in the territory of Da Rui, but because of several waves in the middle, it seems confusing and difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake, but in short, he will not act rashly.

Qiu An followed Qiu Yan to show his duty as a guard and eliminate unnecessary troubles. Many bandits heard that Qiu Yan was passing through, so they would inevitably have some thoughts, but once they knew that he was accompanied by a cultivator with profound cultivation, these thoughts would be extinguished.

But those who were deliberately planning would not change their goals because of such a small arrangement.

Facing Qiu An's request for battle, Qiu Yan shook his head and said, "There is no need for this. Since the rebels have taken action, they are temporarily avoiding the sharp edge. How much use can it have? The enemy army will use strategies only when they are defeated on the battlefield. The cooperation with Xu Yingyi and others is based on this. Therefore, after we left the capital, we actually stepped into another battlefield. Unlike the swords and shadows on the front battlefield, this battlefield is silent, but the impact is no less than that of the front battlefield. It is even possible to annihilate the resistance of the rebels in one fell swoop."

Qiu An nodded and praised, "So that's it, look "Master Lai is really well prepared."

"I am indeed prepared, but not for the Tian Gang Di Sha. The rebellion is part of the plan to build momentum for the seizure of power. The capital is in chaos now, but the emperor is seriously ill. A memorial of collusion with the enemy is unlikely to really force Xu Yingyi and others to step down. If they make a mistake, the emperor may be more likely to trust them, but this is just a wedge..."

Speaking of this, Qiu Yan stepped forward. After a few steps, he saw two young men coming towards him on the road ahead, one humming a little song, and the other dancing with dogtail grass happily.

Suddenly, the two young men stopped abruptly, as if they had just discovered Qiu Yan and the others, and stood there with a puzzled look.

A young man asked, "Sir, where are you from and where are you going?"

Qiu Yan wanted to say that he came from the Tang Dynasty in the East, but now that he was experiencing the tediousness of the world as a master of humanity, he had to follow a set pattern, so he said, "I am from Donghua Darui. I got here by mistake and don't know how to get home. I wonder if you two can tell me where this is and where it leads to?"

"We are in Qingqiu Mountain, a force under the command of the Nine-tailed Demon King..." A young man was about to say something, but he was stopped by another young man pulling his sleeve before he finished speaking.

The young man stopped his companion from talking and asked Qiu Yan and the others about it. His nose was twitching and his face was full of confusion: "Which demon king are you under? Why have I never seen you before? What are you doing in our Qingqiu Mountain? Speaking of which, you two don't have any taste at all. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would hardly know that there are people standing here." The young man was slightly taller.

The shorter boy next to him said, "Yes, yes, I was shocked when I looked up and saw these two people!"

Qiu Yan smiled and responded, "We were walking outside the mountain and got here by mistake. Please show us the way, we will leave immediately." As he spoke, his eyes turned and his sight swept over the two boys, as if thinking about something.

The two boys were not tall and thin, but their clothes seemed a little fat and not fitting, especially the high bulge at the buttocks, as if they were covering something with pants.

"You said they got in by mistake? This is strange. It stands to reason that the formation outside our mountain can make people lose their way, enter the south of the mountain, exit the north of the mountain, walk east, and escape west. It is still rare to move directly into the mountain. If you want to get out, it is not easy. Let's go with me to see the elder. Maybe he can show you a way." It was the taller boy who spoke. When he spoke, his eyes rolled around.

Qiu Yan pretended to be unsuspecting and asked him to lead the way. (To be continued. Please search for Piaotian Literature, the novels are better and updated faster!
