Chapter 71 (Seventy-one) Stone Tablet
"What is this place called?"
Yan Moying saw a stone tablet standing in front of him. By the light of the torch, he saw the words on the stone tablet: "This place is seven miles away from Guiying Peak. A deep moat in front surrounds the peak. Its width is two miles at every point. It separates the peak from the outside." The world is isolated, but if you are destined to be here alone today, you can cross it. You must not tell others about the inscriptions you see, otherwise you will never have the opportunity to cross this deep chasm."
Yan Moying thought: This place is seven miles away from Guiying Peak, and the deep chasm surrounding Guiying Peak is always two miles wide. This means that if you want others to stay five miles away from Guiying Peak, you must Farewell to them here.
Yan Moying said to the guards: "I must walk the road ahead alone."
The guards were a little surprised when they heard this. They had been walking together just now, but in such a terrifying place, Guard Yan had to go alone? At the same time, he was also a little confused - what was written on the stone tablet that made him make this decision? So everyone held torches and went over to observe the stone tablet.
Just listen to the guards chanting: "There is a deep chasm ahead, please stop."
Yan Moying was slightly stunned after hearing this: "What words did you see?"
"'There is a deep chasm ahead, please stop.' What, Guard Yan, isn't this what you see?" said a guard.
"Oh..." Yan Moying hesitated. He suddenly understood: Maybe it was the superpower that the old man mentioned last time that made the words he saw different from those seen by others.
"Guard Yan, this stone tablet clearly tells us not to go any further. We have to change our route anyway. Let's go back together and rest for the night. Let's find another way tomorrow!"
Yan Moying thought to himself that he couldn't explain this matter clearly to the guards, otherwise something bad would happen. But if he didn't explain it clearly, they would definitely persuade him not to go alone for his own safety. It would be better to go to the place on the road with the guards first. Arrange a house for hunters to live in, wait for them to fall asleep, leave them a message and then say goodbye. He felt that he had come here alone, and there was nothing going on on the way. He could just go back alone when the time came, and he didn't know when he would be able to go back, so there was no need to waste the energy of the guards at all. So Yan Moying led the guards back and went straight to the row of houses for hunters that he passed just now.
After a while, the group arrived near the row of houses.
"Who?!" A man suddenly jumped out from behind the house, holding a bow and arrow and shouting at Yan Moying. When he saw Yan Moying followed by some guards, he realized that it would be more detrimental to him who was alone to offend them with a full bow and arrow when there were so many people. He felt a little bit I regretted it, but still didn't dare to let go. I still pulled the bow, but the arrow tip moved downward and was no longer pointed at Yan Moying.
Yan Moying used the light of the fire to see a hunter with a slightly frightened look in front of him, so he smiled and said, "We want to stay here for a night. I wonder if it's convenient for you, brother?"
The hunter saw that Yan Moying and his party had no ill intentions, so he stopped drawing his bow and took the arrow and bow in his two hands. In fact, seeing so many people who seemed to have no ill intentions, he felt much more at ease, and he was not as uneasy as before when he was preparing to move in here alone. He has a straightforward personality and speaks directly about anything. When he saw Yan Moying and his group, he treated them as if they were friends and said, "I'm also here to stay overnight. Something strange happened nearby today, so I'm still worried. What happened just now I apologize for the offence. You...haven't anything strange happened to you?" (End of Chapter)
