White Tiger Mountain, the mountain is in the mountains, close to the big green mountain, towering into the clouds, its shape is like a tiger's head, the wind rises like a tiger's roar, so it is named White Tiger Mountain.

According to the map drawn by the master of Kukou, as long as you climb over three mountains, seven mountains, and a long river, you will arrive.

When he was tired, he slept in the wilderness, when he was hungry, he caught wild game and roasted it, and when he was thirsty, he drank water from the leaves.

After three years of exhaustion, Ma Wenbing and Xiang have climbed two mountains and five mountains, and have gone through two-thirds of the journey.

At this time, both of them were tired of walking, so they sat under a big tree and rested.

The branches of the big tree are luxuriant, like a big umbrella to support, and the shade under the tree is cool and refreshing.

Just as the two of them had not rested for five minutes, the horses' hooves were galloping, and more than a hundred people rushed towards this side, raising dust for a long time.

Ma Wenbing and Xiang quickly hid behind the big tree, and the hundred people passed by quickly, all of them were bandits with big knives.

The direction they are heading is the path that Ma Wenbing and Xiang have walked, and it is very likely that they will go to that Qingshui Gu'an.

"Aunt Niu is definitely going to be in trouble, I hope Master Kongkou is still in Qingshui Guan. ”

Ma Wenbing looked forward to it, if Master Kongkou was still there, maybe these 100 people would have to turn back.

"We can't do much more, let's hurry up, cross the mountain in front of us, and there is a long river waiting for us." ”

Xiang urged, it was impossible for the two of them to go back to help, and they couldn't help if they went back.

So Ma Wenbing and Xiang continued to walk towards the mountain in front of them.

The mountains are towering into the clouds, and the smoke and clouds on the mountainside are ethereal, as if they are immortal-like dwellings, shocking and terrifying.

The mountains are deep and dark, and they are pitch black from a distance, like a black sword placed on the ground, and the tip of the sword is straight to the horizon.

At the foot of the mountain, there is a long, narrow mountain stream that seems to pass through, but the smoke is thick and it is very confused and terrifying.

There are two options in front of Ma Wenbing and Xiang, either climb over the mountain, the road is very stable on the map but difficult to walk, or try this mountain stream, which may be much more convenient.

"Wenbing, which way do we go?" Xiang stared at Ma Wenbing with big eyes, handing over the choice to him.

Ma Wenbing thought for a while and said, "Let's try this mountain stream, we can't turn back through us, it won't be delayed for long." ”

Because this mountain road must be difficult to walk, if you are lucky, this mountain stream can be walked.

"Okay, listen to you, just go to this mountain stream. Xiang nodded in agreement.

So Ma Wenbing and Xiang walked towards the mysterious mountain stream one after the other, and the two of them were close together, without words, both of them gave each other their hearts.

At first, there was nothing strange about it, but after walking a hundred meters, the smoke became thicker and the width was reduced a lot, and the two men unconsciously slowed down their feet.

The two of them didn't have any words, and I am afraid that the words here will wake up the mountain guarding beasts in the mountain.

But both of them felt a little timid about each other, especially Xiang, and had to hold Ma Wenbing's wrist with one hand and follow along.

The two of them walked a little deeper, and the smoke became thicker, and before they knew it, the two of them were surrounded by smoke, and they couldn't even see the road under their feet clearly.

"Wen Bing, let's go back, I feel weird here. Xiang had to say, it's still too late to go back.

Ma Wenbing turned around, looked at Xiang, was extremely tender, and nodded in agreement.

It's just that Ma Wenbing turned around, and the two of them didn't pay much attention to it, and they forgot the direction of the future.

There was smoke all around them, and they could only see each other, and they still knew where they were coming from.

"It should be this side, this is the right-hand side, I was ...... here just now"

Xiang gestured with both hands, and using logic to judge the direction is the most accurate way.

Xiang pointed to a place and said, "It should be there, let's go there." ”

So the two of them walked towards the way they came, and they didn't go out for a long time, obviously in the wrong direction, and both of them panicked.

"It's over, we're lost, Wenbing, what should we do?" Xiang asked in horror, knowing in her heart that this was getting weirder and weirder, and the two of them were likely to be trapped and unable to get out.

Ma Wenbing thought for a while and said quietly: "Don't worry, it's just that the smoke is a little bigger, this direction is wrong, let's go back." ”

So the two of them walked a little more in the direction of their backs, and after walking for long, they became dim, as if it was dark, but it could not be dark in such a short time.

They walked some further along, only to find that they had entered a cave, and that they had gone very deep.

"Ah, it's a cave, how did we get here? Get out of here!" Xiang was terrified, because there were stone walls on the left and right sides and above, and it was very damp.

At this moment, Ma Wenbing also knew that the two of them had broken into a cave, so he pulled the incense and walked quickly in the direction behind.

There was a loud "pop", and as soon as I stepped out, I heard the sound of something crushing.

Ma Wenbing lowered his head and looked curiously, this look at the three souls and seven spirits flew one soul and three spirits in an instant, because the ground was densely packed with human bones, and what he stepped on just now was the teeth on a skull.

I'm sorry, big brothers and sisters, the two of us entered here by mistake, please don't be surprised, let's go out immediately, Ma Wenbing thought in his heart.

"Wen Bing, what did you step on?" Xiang asked suspiciously, she didn't look down.

"Ah, a stone, nothing, let's hurry up. Ma Wenbing kept his composure, he didn't dare to tell her, she might faint when she came out.

So Ma Wenbing pulled the incense and ran quickly outside, but the faster he ran, the more bones he stepped on, and the sound crackled like firecrackers.

Xiang couldn't help but wonder and looked at the ground.

"Ahh

Xiangwan was overly frightened, and sure enough, he fainted in Ma Wenbing's arms.

Ma Wenbing anxiously put the incense on his back and walked outside with the incense on his back.

The more I walked, the smoke was gone, but the two men were still in the cave, and it seemed that they had reached the top of the cave, because it was a wide room.

Countless stone stalactites descend vertically from the roof of the cave, thick in some places and thin in others, like beaded curtains hanging down.

On the ground, there are many strange-looking big stones, some like tiger heads, some like dog heads, and some like dragon heads......

Ma Wenbing carried the incense on his back and walked towards the middle of the room, where the ground seemed to be a little smoother.

"Incense, incense ......"

Ma Wenbing gently called out Xiang's name as he walked.

The dazed Xiang also felt that someone was calling her, and finally opened her eyes and found herself on Ma Wenbing's back.

"Where is this?"

Seeing that there were stones all around, Xiang asked suspiciously, and quickly remembered that he was unconscious when he saw the bones on the ground, so he immediately looked at the ground, there were no bones, and his heart was quite stable.

Hearing the sound of incense, Ma Wenbing turned his sorrow into joy, and soon arrived at the flat place in the middle, and put down the incense with his heart.

"You scared me to death just now, how do you feel now?"

Ma Wenbing asked with concern in the first sentence, although Xiang suddenly fainted just now, although he knew that he was overly frightened, he was still very worried in his heart.

"Wenbing, did we enter the ruins of the current battlefield, or did we enter someone's burial pit? Why were there so many bones just now?"

The scene just now is still fresh in my memory, and the white bones are very frightened, so they should have been dead for more than ten years.

Ma Wenbing thought about it, there is a lot of truth in the words of incense, only the battlefield or the mausoleum where the burial is accompanied only so many remains, but think about it, this is the realm of the king of Baihu Mountain, I am afraid that only he knows.

"The mausoleum is estimated to be small, it is far away from Baihu Mountain, but the battlefield is also possible, only when you find Wang Mazi in Baihu Mountain will you know the secret here. Ma Wenbing replied.

"Wang Mazi and the nun are together, and it is also dangerous for us to go, how can he tell you so easily?...... But it's hard, and you don't know until you get there, by the way, what kind of place is this?"

Xiang looked around, a large stone room, strange rocks, and artificial steps and roads, and there was a stone chair on the top of the steps.

"Look there, there's a stone chair. Xiang pointed excitedly, and walked up the steps.

Following the direction of the incense, Ma Wenbing also saw the stone chair and followed the incense.

On the top of the steps is a small but very flat platform, see a yellowstone stone chair, there are several stone slabs behind the stone chair, although the stone slabs are mottled with many traces of cracks, but it is not difficult to see a pair of couplets on it.

Stone cave cave and Qi, mountain stream and land with the same place longevity.

Neither of them knew very well, but both of them knew that there must have been a character like the king of the mountain living here before, and it was unknown where they had gone now.

Xiang detoured to the back of the stone slab to look, and suddenly said in surprise: "Ah! bones!"

Hearing Xiang's shout, Ma Wenbing ran to Xiang's side as quickly as possible, and Xiang quickly went around Ma Wenbing's back and didn't dare to open his eyes, looking like a spirit behind him.

"There are bones on the ground, see for yourself. ”

Xiang Zhan pointed tremblingly, she roughly saw a pair of white human bones just now, and she didn't know exactly what it was.

According to Xiang's prompt, Ma Wenbing really saw a skeleton on the ground, but the head and body were not in the same place, so he would definitely have a different head when he died.

Ma Wenbing squatted down so that he could see it more clearly, and Xiang also squatted down along Ma Wenbing.

"What else? you and me. ”

Although Xiang was scared, she was also curious, and she guessed that the owner of this skeleton was not an ordinary person, not necessarily a person sitting on a stone chair, and there should be a difference.

"There was a book, there was a crown, and he had a lot of gold and silver jewelry, and gold silk clothes, rotten ......."

Ma Wenbing told Xiang one by one that he had seen it all.

"Then he should be the owner of this cave, how did he die in this place?" asked Xiang suspiciously.

"Well, I guess there was an invasion or a coup d'état or something, I don't know. Ma Wenbing replied.

"You take that book and take a look at it, and see what it is?" Xiang said again, maybe the book contains very important information, such as a message before you die.

Ma Wenbing heartily took down the book from a pair of bones, there was a lot of dust on it, and Ma Wenbing blew away the dust first.

The book is very thick, and every page you can see is thick paper, and the book cover is made of red wood, with four words on it: Hua Mei Ji.

Ma Wenbing didn't understand the meaning of the four words very well, first gently turned the first page, because it was shelved for a long time, the corners and corners were damaged.

After opening it, Ma Wenbing was dumbfounded, because he didn't recognize the words on it, and the curved lines were connected together, like pictures but not words.

This is not surprising, Dahua Shenzhou has a vast geographical area and many ethnic groups, so it is not a strange thing that other languages appear.

"Wen Bing, what is written on it? Read it to me. Xiang heard Ma Wenbing's voice flipping through the book and asked curiously.

"It's probably written by an ethnic minority, but I can't read the text on it. Ma Wenbing replied, and then turned a few pages at random, all of which were the same words, and finally reluctantly closed the book.

At this time, Xiang also slowly opened his eyes, did not look at the ground, and hid behind Ma Wenbing and stretched out a hand and took the book.

"Hua Meiji, isn't this our text, why can't you read it?" Xiang asked suspiciously, the four words clearly written, although the words are not very formal, but they can be seen.

"The text in it is different. Ma Wenbing replied.

Hearing Ma Wenbing's answer, Xiang also turned to this book with a heart, it is indeed the same as Ma Wenbing's, a strange text, like an earthworm.

"It's ...... This seems to be the text of the Golden Kingdom of the Western Regions. "Xiang is not 100% sure, I have been in contact with the princess of the Jin Kingdom in the palace, and the relationship between the two is not bad, so I have seen their words.

"The text of the Golden Kingdom of the Western Regions, Xiang, do you know this kind of writing?" Ma Wenbing asked in shock and excitement.

Xiang shook her head, she had only seen it, but she didn't know it, "I've seen it in the palace, but I don't know it." ”

Xiang's words made Ma Wenbing shift his mood in another direction, to Xiang's true identity.

"So you're a princess. Ma Wenbing bowed his head and said, he hoped that she was a green family, so that the relationship between the two could continue to develop.

Xiang pondered for a while, her feelings for Ma Wenbing were real, so she didn't want to hide some facts, so she said: "Wenbing, don't hide it, I am indeed a princess, but a princess in distress, will you help me?"

"How can I help you?" asked Ma Wenbing.

"Originally, I went with you to participate in the food contest and returned to the capital, but now it seems that it will not work, when I find Liu Ling'er and them, you help me find an opportunity, I will go to the city to do important things." ”

Xiang said without expression, Qiu can be avenged later, but he can't help but repay, I just hope that the Qiu family will not die so early.

Ma Wenbing nodded and promised: "I'll help you, there is a food competition every three years, and I have no regrets." ”
