After a moment, several crisp sounds were heard in the fog, like the sound of weapons falling to the ground.

He took my sleeve and said, "Let's go."

My heart was pounding as I followed him to the door.

Walking into the fog, you can only see about ten feet around you.

I saw the guard who was standing at the door just now was now lying on the ground with his weapon lying beside him.

I walked around him timidly, but suddenly Tu Shanjing reached out and pulled me: "Be careful."

I looked down and felt ashamed. I was so focused on avoiding the guard's body that I didn't notice that my footsteps were about to step on a small blood-red circle.

A bloody claw mark.

Tu Shanjing loosened his hand, stood in front of me, and said, "The dog swaggered in from the front door. I'm afraid it has something to do with my brother. My brother's spiritual power is stronger than mine. If he is awake, he probably won't be affected by my fog. You have to be careful."

I stood behind him and whispered, "I understand. Don't worry, I will pay attention."

Tu Shanjing walked and stopped, following the blood trail to the door of the main room.

There was also a servant leaning at the door. He looked familiar, as if he was the one who was next to Guanglin when he was paying New Year's greetings to Butler Hu during the Spring Festival.

Tu Shanjing waved his right hand, and a crystal clear short sword appeared in his hand, with light flowing all over it, as if water was faintly flowing.

He walked up and knocked on the door gently, and asked softly: "Brother? Are you awake?"

There was no movement in the room.

He raised his left hand again, and a ball of light squeezed in from the crack in the door.

After a moment, the ball of light came out again.

He raised his hand to collect the spiritual light, then stretched out his hand and pushed open the door.

It turned out that the door was not locked, but just ajar.

There was no one inside either.

He walked straight into the inner room, but my eyes were attracted by a small vase in the corner of the outer room.

It's not spring yet, and the floor heating in the house is still on, so it's very warm.

The vase was covered with water vapor, and there was a long water stain under the vase.

I looked inside and saw that there was ice frozen inside the vase. However, if the water had flowed out, according to my common sense, the ice in the vase should have melted a little. But now it didn't look like it had thawed at all.

I hurriedly called Tu Shanjing to come and see. He just took a look inside and said, "Ice Soul."

My scalp tingled and I looked around quickly, whispering, "Did they go to the holy land? Why did the bloodstains disappear when they got into the house? Could it be..." After saying that, I couldn't help but look up, afraid that I would see the big yellow dog hiding on the beam, waiting for an opportunity to pounce on my head.

Fortunately, there was nothing on the beam. Tu Shanjing said, "The quilt is missing. I guess someone wrapped it up and left. Let's go directly to the holy land."

I nodded and followed him into the courtyard. He took off the jade fox tag from his waist and shook it. Soon, the sound of flapping wings came from the air. The fox circled twice and landed in the yard. He jumped up and rode on it without waiting for the fox to crouch down.

I climbed up steadily this time and held onto Tu Shanjing's waist. He tapped Lili's neck with one hand, and Lili flapped its wings and flew up from the ground.

I closed my eyes and said, "Master, do you want to call for some reinforcements? I wonder how many people the young master brought with him?"

Tu Shanjing's voice floated over the wind: "I have assigned some shadow guards to secretly watch Big Brother recently. There aren't many people in Big Brother's courtyard. Whenever he leaves the house, there are shadow guards following him. I haven't seen him hiding a large number of troops anywhere. Don't be afraid. Today is my birthday. Half of the shadow guards followed me to the restaurant, and the other half are guarding the holy land. Let's go over and take a look first."

I felt relieved after hearing this. Although Tushan Hou had calculated Tushan Jing's birthday, most of the shadow guards were transferred to accompany him, and the holy land was weakly guarded, but the shadow guards were all extraordinary. If he didn't have a large number of people, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to break through the siege and enter the treasure place for a while. So I closed my mouth and let the wind blow across my face.

Tushan was not far away, so it would take quite some time to reach it by foot, but if you flew, you would be there in the blink of an eye. Lili stretched out his arms, glided over the misty ridge, and flew low along the mountain.

Tu Shanjing patted Lili on the back and said, "Lili, fly to the back mountain."

The cat whistled softly, turned a corner, and flew towards the back mountain.

Perhaps because there are hot springs underground in the back mountain, it is warm and humid, and the trees here are still lush and green with flourishing branches and leaves.

The raccoon is too large to fit under the layers of branches and leaves, so it can't find a place to stay and can only hover above the dense forest.

Tu Shanjing touched its back, pointed to a shorter tree in the distance and said, "Lili, land there."

Lili obediently stopped at the top of the tree. Tu Shanjing patted it and walked down, putting his toes on the treetops. His body was as fast as the wind, swaying up and down with the branches in the wind.

He reached out his hand to me, and I bit my lip and put my hand over it.

He pulled my hand and I fell into his arms. He circled me a few times, using the force of castration to release the force, and landed steadily on the soft ground.

He listened carefully, and there was no other sound in the dense forest except the sound of wind and insects. So he stretched out his right hand, and a ball of light appeared in the air, flickering and floating forward.

We followed the ball of light in silence. Soon, a hint of water appeared in the distance behind the tree trunks and branches in front of us. I guess it was the artificial pond in the map.

When we were about to walk out of the dense forest and reach the open space next to the artificial pond, Tu Shanjing suddenly raised his hand in front of me, and I stopped immediately.

He just looked around, turned around and shook his head.

I opened my eyes wide, but didn't dare to ask any questions.

He didn't move his mouth, but I heard his voice in my ears: "I am using secret voice transmission, only you can hear it. The shadow guards are all down, be careful of an ambush nearby."

When I heard this, I was quietly shocked and stretched my neck to look over there. Sure enough, I saw a group of black-clad shadow guards lying in a mess beside the artificial pool. If it weren't for the reflective water in the pool that slightly brightened the surroundings, they would be almost invisible at first glance.

I was wondering who had the ability to knock down all the shadow guards so quickly. Tu Shanjing probably thought of what I was thinking, so his voice rang in my ears again: "They used ice spirits. First they poured water from the air, and then sprinkled ice spirits on top. The shadow guards didn't know what it was, and didn't try to dodge or dodge in time, so they were all frozen and couldn't move."

I grinned silently. It must be so cold. The enemy was so vicious.

Tu Shanjing pondered for a moment, and then transmitted a message to my ears: "I guess they can't find the entrance to the holy land, so they just hide in the dark and spy. If we show our heads to save people, they will show up."

I thought about it, but since I didn't know how to transmit secret message, I could only pull his hand over and write the word "Save?" on his palm.

His eyes were sharp and his firm voice rang in my ears: "Save. The enemy can afford to delay, but we can't. Rather than a stalemate, it's better to break the deadlock."

Then he continued, "Follow me closely and don't go too far. If a fight breaks out, we will stay near the stone on top of the artificial pool. If my guess is correct, the entrance is around it."
