Chapter 5 Falling Short

I have learned about physics. For every 1,000 meters above sea level, the temperature drops by about 6 degrees Celsius.

Tang Mingyu generally knew that the southern peak of Tianshan Mountain was more than 5,000 meters above sea level. As the wedding team gradually walked down the mountain, the altitude she was at gradually dropping and the temperature began to rise and rise.

It was early autumn, and the temperature on the flat ground in the desert was still relatively high, especially when it came from an altitude of more than 5,000 meters to more than 2,000 meters, which really made Tang Mingyu feel from severe winter to midsummer.

Tang Mingyu is the kind of person with extremely low internal cultivation in the Tianshan Sect, so she wears a lot of clothes on the mountain. When the sedan chair arrives near the foot of the mountain, she is already sweating profusely.

Fortunately, Ouyang Wan'er had already considered this and prepared two sets of wedding clothes for Tang Mingyu. One is a cotton jacket type that is worn on the mountain, and the other is a thin autumn clothes that can be changed on the flat ground.

The space in the sedan chair is relatively large and the curtains are well covered. Tang Mingyu did not ask someone to stop the sedan chair and quietly began to reduce clothes on her body.

Taking off only a pair of underwear and bellyband, Tang Mingyu put on another light wedding dress that he had placed in the sedan chair in advance, and he felt much more comfortable.

And only by changing into light clothing can Tang Mingyu and others be more conducive to escaping from the water.

The wedding procession soon arrived at the foot of the mountain.

There is no one on the mountain and the road is difficult to walk. Tang Mingyu doesn’t think there is any problem without beating drums and drums.

But when we arrived at the foot of the mountain, the gong and drum team still had no movement, which was incredible.

Tang Mingyu Yue found out that this marriage was strange. She felt that the Desert School didn't want people to know. Sure enough, she quietly lifted a corner of the curtain and peeked out, and found that the red cloth and the words "Happy" on the dowry had been removed.

Tang Mingyu's heart tightened. Why is this?

Isn’t the Desert Sect afraid of offending the Tianshan Sect if they do this?

There is always a conspiracy here.

But what kind of conspiracy is it?

Tang Mingyu was still confused.

At this time, the team has begun to accelerate.

Since it is flat and the wedding bride team is good at martial arts, they walk very fast.

Tang Mingyu saw the scenery outside quickly retreating through the gaps in the curtain, and she felt an ominous feeling in her heart.

What if they didn't go to the desert sect?

What if they don’t go to Phoenix Valley?

Tang Mingyu suddenly realized that his original idea and escape plan were too simple and there were too many loopholes.

But now she is just a girl who is not even a third-rate warrior, so what can she do?

It is definitely not OK to cry, make a fuss, and hang yourself.

And if you just run away like this, you will definitely not be able to escape. Instead, it will make them more vigilant. It will be impossible to escape next time.

So Tang Mingyu decided to take a gamble. Maybe their end was the Desert Sect and would still walk from Phoenix Valley. After all, this road is the closest.

After nearly an hour of running, the team finally arrived at Phoenix Town.

However, the team did not enter the town, but stopped to rest directly at the foot of Phoenix Mountain.

This is mixed for Tang Mingyu.

What I'm happy about is that they can be sure that they will go to Phoenix Valley.

What is worrying is further proved that her conspiracy theory is correct.

Too abnormal.

The wedding team of the Damo Sect this time was led by Qi Haohu, the second disciple of the leader Ling Fengyun.

At this time, Qi Haohu walked to the side of the sedan chair and said, "Mrs. You have arrived at Phoenix Mountain. You can go to the Desert Sect in two hours. You can drink some water and have some snacks first. If you have any other instructions, please say it."

"Take the water and snacks in." Tang Mingyu said calmly, slightly lifting the curtain, and then took in the water bag and a box of snacks in the other party's hand.

Qi Haohu has a majestic figure and a square face. He is considered a very handsome person, but his expression is a little gloomy. He looks like he is not a good person to meet.

In modern times, not drinking strangers' water casually or eating strangers' food is a good sense of prevention for young girls who are away from home.

In the martial arts world of the Tang Dynasty, various poison masters came out without asking for it, and the frequency of sweating drugs was even higher.

Not afraid of ten thousand, just fear of what if.

Tang Mingyu knew that they had a conspiracy, so he would naturally not drink their water or eat their food.

After a little trimming, the team continued to move forward and soon arrived at the picturesque Phoenix Valley.

Tang Mingyu saw the quiet Phoenix Reservoir from a distance, which was a scale of hundreds of acres.

The terrain on this side of the Guanlu Pass is relatively flat, while the other side of the reservoir is mostly cliffs. Even the warriors with good light skills may not be able to fly a few thousand meters away to reach the other side.

Tang Mingyu knew that as long as she could jump into the reservoir, she would have a high chance of escaping successfully.

However, when Tang Mingyu was carried to the lake, she realized that sometimes the plan really couldn't keep up with the changes.

It turned out that after eight years, this passage had been repaired many times, which was obviously different from the official path in the memory of Feng Wutong, the host.

The official road is even further away from the shore, a distance of more than ten meters. Even if Tang Mingyu has some light skills, he cannot jump into the reservoir at once.

If you can't enter the water as soon as possible, Tang Mingyu knows that it means 100% failure to escape.

what to do?

Seeing that the team was about to pass by the lake soon, Tang Mingyu knew that he could no longer hesitate, so he immediately shouted and said, "Stop the sedan chair."

"Stop the sedan chair." Qi Haohu shouted loudly, then quickly came to the side of the sedan chair and asked, "Mrs. Young Master, what are your instructions?"

Tang Mingyu whispered, "I want to go to the toilet." As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately realized that something was wrong. The Tang Dynasty did not have such a statement.

Sure enough, Qi Haohu looked puzzled, "Mrs. Young Madam, what do you mean by going to the toilet?"

Tang Mingyu said speechlessly: "Don't worry about what it means, I'm in a hurry to make it easier."

Qi Haohu understood and immediately said, "Mrs. Young Madam, there is a small forest over there, you go."

Tang Mingyu got off the sedan chair, lifted up the red veil and saw that the grove that Qi Haohu was talking about was on the inside of the road. Isn’t it getting farther and farther?

She glanced at the reservoir and found a big tree next to her. The diameter of the tree was one meter enough to block the view. She said, "I'll just go to that tree, you can't look here."

"Affect your order, young lady." All the people from the Desert Sect, including Qi Haohu, answered in unison.

Although these people respect her on the surface, who knows what they think, Tang Mingyu is not a three-year-old child, so she will not shake her determination to escape.

Taking two steps at a time, Tang Mingyu quickly came to the big tree with the red veil. He first pretended to squat down to go to the toilet, then slowly lay down and crawled towards the shore.

When he arrived at the shore, Tang Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief and finally could run away.

Tang Mingyu had played diving before, and her physical condition was better than before, so she used what she thought was the best diving movement and headed to the reservoir more than two meters high from the shore.

Tang Mingyu's body was falling rapidly. As soon as her head touched the water surface, a long horse whip wrapped around her waist.

Tang Mingyu was caught in the water like a fish, and the angler was Qi Haohu who had been carrying him on his back.
