Chapter 72 (Seventy-two) Single Line
"Strange thing?" Yan Moying asked.
"Yes, I have hunted around here many times before. Although I have never been to Guiying Peak, I have walked in that direction. Who knew that today, when I was chasing prey, I ran to the place I was last time, and found that a huge chasm suddenly appeared there, and there was also a stone tablet. The inscription on the tablet stopped me. This chasm was not there when I came here a few days ago! Later, a wild beast pounced on me from behind. During the fight, I lost my balance and fell towards the foggy cliff. The beast probably thought I fell down and walked away. Unexpectedly, I did not fall off the cliff. I just felt like I was floating in the fog, which was quite comfortable. After the beast left, a strong force in the fog lifted me up and placed me steadily on the cliff!" The hunter narrated his strange experience to everyone.
"real or fake?"
"No way?!"
After hearing this, some guards not only did not believe it, but also thought that this hunter was a little strange and they needed to be more cautious. Although some people did not believe it in their hearts, they did not show it. However, Yan Moying felt that what the hunter said was still possible. After all, he had seen the strange thing that the guards saw different inscriptions from him.
The guards thought the hunter was strange, so they decided to stay in a room a little further away from the hunter's room.
Before going to bed, Yan Moying was busy writing a message. A guard was curious: "Guard Yan, what are you writing?"
"Write down tomorrow's tasks and execute them early tomorrow morning." Yan Moying replied.
The guard thought, why write down the task if it's not enough to just tell him directly? But he knew that since he was a subordinate, he had to listen to Guard Yan, so he didn't say it. He thought again, maybe it was a complicated task that needed to be recorded in detail. Anyway, Guard Yan must have his reasons for writing it down, so he didn't say anything more.
After writing the message, Yan Moying conveyed his intention to all the guards - the task he wrote on the paper must be carried out early tomorrow morning - and then he put the paper with the message in the place where the guards put their luggage and pressed it. The guards promised Yan Moying that they would complete the task according to his requirements the next day, and they also saw him pressing the paper under the luggage. The guards who were tired from the journey all wanted to have a good sleep, and no one thought about it anymore.
Chapter 26
At midnight, the guards and hunters were sleeping soundly, but Yan Moying had already arrived in front of the stone tablet alone.
"Destined one, please jump over this stele and walk ten steps forward!" Yan Moying discovered that the words on the stele had turned into this sentence.
Ten steps? After crossing it, there was a cliff in front of him. How could he move forward ten steps? Yan Moying wondered if it was in other directions? So he tried to walk in several other directions, but there was no change after ten steps. However, if he acted completely according to the words on the stone tablet, it would be no different from jumping off a cliff! No matter how brave you are, you can't joke with your life!
Should I do this? When Yan Moying was hesitating, he suddenly remembered the "strange thing" the hunter said, and thought: If what he said is true, it proves that walking into the thick clouds and fog will not necessarily cost him his life. He also thought that the purpose of his trip was to save the disaster, so since he was here, he had to rush forward no matter what the danger was. If he really lost his life, it was inevitable, so he planned to move forward. However, before he set off, he realized that since he was the savior arranged by fate, he should cherish his life even more, because this life carried not only everything he had, but also the future of the people of Jingyin Country. Even if he was full of courage, he must not act rashly, and must not let the future of Jingyin Country be destroyed by his impulse.
