In the process of talking to An Yi, Zhong Lin had already set up a small fire. The pool water was already very cold, after soaking in the water for so long, and almost lacking oxygen, Zhong Lin did feel a little cold. In fact, An Yi was not much better, she could have dived through that passage relatively easily, but after renewing Zhong Lin's qi, she used it for two people in one breath, which also made her very embarrassed, but she didn't show it.

"Hey, you take off your shirt and turn your back, I don't call you, you don't turn around. ”

Clothes are definitely not easy to dry on the body, and in the process of Zhong Lin lighting the fire, An Yi has already broken a few branches from the low bushes around him and put them on the fire, so that the clothes can be dried quickly by hanging them on them.

Zhong Lin obediently took off his shirt like a primary school student, hung it neatly on the shelf, and then turned his back to the fire, looking at his nose, nose and mouth, mouth and heart, closed his eyes and recuperated, and did not dare to move.

After about five or six minutes, I heard An Yi say, "Okay, you can turn around and put on your shirt." ”

Zhong Lin turned around obediently again, although he knew that An Yi might have put on his clothes, he still lowered his head, didn't dare to look at An Yi, and put the dried shirt on the shelf on his body. The clothes are warm, not to mention how comfortable they are to wear.

"Now it's pants' turn......" An Yi whispered.

"Huh, pants, too?"

Hearing An Yi's words, Zhong Lin's old face turned red, and he unconsciously glanced up at An Yi, but saw that An Yi was facing away from him.

"Of course, otherwise do you feel comfortable with wetness? What are you afraid of, are you afraid that I won't be able to peek at you!"

Although An Yi said very calmly, it could be heard that she was deliberately acting, because at this moment, Zhong Lin could even clearly hear An Yi's "thump" heartbeat.

Probably to ease the atmosphere, An Yi continued: "Do you know why our clan lives in such an isolated place?"

"Why?" Zhong Lin hurriedly responded.

"One theory is that our ancestors moved their families here to escape the pursuit of their enemies. Another version is that a long, long time ago, our ancestors fled the war on a large ship to a foreign land. However, on the way to the migration, we encountered a hurricane, and our boat could not withstand the impact of the wind and waves, and soon capsized. However, just as the ship was about to capsize, a huge phoenix flew by, saved our ancestors, and sent them to this hanging mountain. Our ancestors initially thought that this was another world, and they didn't know how to get out or didn't even think about going out, so our ancestors have been living here for generations. ”

An Yi paused, and then continued: "Since then, our clan has been renamed 'Phoenix Clan', you see, our dress is a phoenix costume, which is also out of worship of the phoenix! Although the statement that the phoenix saved our ancestors is just a legend, we are more inclined to this statement......"

An Yi's voice was very good, telling the history of their clan like a story, and Zhong Lin also listened quietly......

Soon, Zhong Lin's pants were already dry, and he quickly got dressed. At this time, An Yi had already finished speaking, so Zhong Lin said: "Okay, my clothes are baked, shall we continue walking?"

"Yes, it's not to wait for you, and I'm squirming and kneading my clothes, like a big girl. An Yi turned around and said.

Zhong Lin's face instantly had a few more black lines, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice, but he didn't know what to say.

An Yi raised his leg and was just about to leave, but suddenly took back the leg that he had stepped out of, turned his head to look at Zhong Lin and said: "Don't tell anyone what happened in the underwater secret passage, don't mention a word, otherwise, otherwise, otherwise ......"

An Yi lowered his head as he spoke, and through the low-hanging hair, he could see that his cheeks had been dyed a touch of crimson. An Yi hurriedly took out a silk scarf from his pocket, put it on his face again, and then continued: "Also, don't tell anyone that you have seen my face. ”

Zhong Lin stood there dumbfounded, nodding his head incessantly.

"If you say these two things, then you are ready to stay in the hanging mountain and never think about going back......"

"Master, I have a hunch that it is very likely that you will marry her after seeing her appearance, and many foreign races have such customs. Well, it must be like this, you have to be mentally prepared in advance, oh, don't say I didn't tell you. If you don't want to marry her, it's best to pretend that nothing has happened, otherwise you may really become a son-in-law and never get out again......" Ling'er said with a chuckle.

The original black lines on Zhong Lin's face have not disappeared, and now there are a few more, wondering if this Ling'er has read too much of the script.

"It's not that I've read too much of the script, it's because I've lived too long, haven't you heard of the term 'live for a long time'?" Ling'er said with a grin.

Zhong Lin no longer argued with Ling'er, but watched An Yi's next move.

At this time, An Yi had already walked towards a rock wall.

There were some long vines growing on the rock wall, and I saw An Yi grab one of the vines and said, "Now grab the vine with me and climb up, you can catch it, if you fall down, I won't be responsible." ”

An Yi knew that it was absolutely impossible for Zhong Lin to fall with his skills, and she just wanted to make a joke to ease the atmosphere just now.

Zhong Lin also followed An Yi's example and grabbed a vine. When the two of them dragged the vines up twenty or thirty meters, a cave covered with vines suddenly appeared. This cave is not visible at all from the bottom of the valley, and can only be seen after climbing up. Seeing An Yi enter the cave, Zhong Lin also walked in.

This cave is very long and narrow, sometimes it is relatively wide, Zhong Lin can pass upright, but some places are very narrow, Zhong Lin can only crawl forward. And the further forward it seems, the passage becomes narrower and narrower, fortunately, Zhong Lin's figure is still a well-proportioned type, if there is a little general's belly, then it is estimated that there will be a danger of getting stuck in the hole.

It is estimated that after crawling for three or four hundred meters, a bright light faintly appeared in front of me, and the bright light became bigger and brighter, and the air became more and more fresh. When the two of them climbed out of the cave one after another, Zhong Lin was simply stunned by the scene in front of him.

The cave they were in was located on a cliff face, almost ten meters above the ground. It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, and from where they were, there was a huge valley below, surrounded by thousands of walls. Probably because the rock walls around the valley can refract sunlight, there is plenty of sunlight in the valley. In the meantime, there are flowers and trees, there are pavilions and houses, there are streams and hills, there are fertile fields and paths, chickens, ducks, cows, sheep have everything, peach blossoms, pear blossoms compete to open, in the meantime the mist is shrouded, it is really a fairyland on earth!

The most conspicuous of these is a huge statue standing on a boulder by the edge of a pond!

It was a statue of a phoenix, six or seven meters high and more than ten meters long! The slightly open wings seemed to be ready to fly at any moment......

Without An Yi's introduction, Zhong Lin had already guessed that this statue must have been carved by An Yi's ancestors according to the appearance of the phoenix that saved them.

If it weren't for Zhong Lin just diving through the underwater tunnel, baking the fire, and crawling through the narrow passage, especially if he almost drowned in the underwater tunnel, he would definitely think that everything in front of him was similar to his own hourly space.

"Master, it's really strange, how do I feel like I've been to this place before, and this phoenix statue is so familiar!" Ling'er said solemnly, as if she was trying to recall something.

"Really? It's not going to be 'see you for a long time' again, is it?"

"Maybe, maybe I've been to this place before, or maybe it's a sense of déjà vu, but I can't remember it now. ”

"People, people!"

Zhong Lin saw a girl dressed the same as An Yi's walking through the peach blossom forest, saw several men working in the fields, and saw three or five naughty boys playing happily in the stream with their bare buttocks.

"Nonsense, this is the clan where we live, of course there are people! No one, can it be called a clan?" An Yi said with a blank look at Zhong Lin.

"Let's go, let's go down, but remember what I said to you in the cave. ”

An Yi said as he grabbed a vine next to the entrance of the cave and swung lightly to the bottom of the valley. Zhong Lin naturally understood what An Yi meant, but he didn't speak, just frowned, and then followed him down to the bottom.

"Young Patriarch, good!"

"Young Patriarch, you're back!"

Along the way, people kept greeting An Yi, and at the same time, they also cast strange glances at Zhong Lin. After An Yi nodded to them in return and walked by, there was a whispering voice behind him. As for what he said, he didn't have to listen to it, and Zhong Lin didn't even have to think about it to guess it.

"Huh?!Sister Young Patriarch, who is that person who is following you? Is he from the outside world?"

"Don't worry so much about children. ”

"Okay, Sister An Yi, then we won't ask, but did you bring us something delicious and interesting back this time?"

Three bare-bottomed little boys who looked to be five or six years old climbed up from the creek and followed closely behind An Yi and Zhong Lin, laughing and asking as they laughed.
