After staying in his hometown for a few days, on the sixth day of the first lunar month, he greeted Jiajia in advance, said goodbye to his parents and a group of old dart masters and uncles, Hua Duxiu and Ding Qiqi whipped their horses and galloped towards the northeast.

Hua Qian waited for everyone to stand outside the gate of Shenquan City, looking at the two backs that were getting smaller and smaller, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

I just hope that Xiu'er can come back soon, and the family will be called home when they are neat.

Shen Lijia, who was standing behind Qian Qian, sighed and said, "Uncle Qian, my brother-in-law said that he wanted to stay in Shenquan City in the future, but I was a soldier in Broken Demon City, didn't it mean that it would be difficult for me to see my brother-in-law in the future?"

Spending money to clean up his mood, he smiled and said: "Who let you kid have to join the army, isn't it good to follow your father to be a rich man." ”

Shen Lijia looked aggrieved: "I'm not a brother-in-law yet!" He didn't say that I had a relationship with the military, let me take the right path while I was young, what could I say." ”

Hua Qian nodded: "You are still young, and if you mix well in the army, you may not be able to be sent to the local government as a local official in the future, and you don't have to worry about losing your free body." ”

Shen Lijia nodded, he also understood these truths.

After thinking about it, Shen Lijia suddenly shouted: "It's bad! I forgot to tell my brother-in-law about me!"

Hua Qian wondered: "What's the matter, is it important?"

Shen Lijia stomped his feet and said in a low voice: "It's about someone from Snake Valley visiting Governor Peng, oh, I had already taken the words out of General Hadan's mouth before I came back, why did I forget to tell my brother-in-law!"

Qian Qian's eyes moved, and he asked in a low voice, "Jiajia, is this matter very serious?"

Shen Lijia looked at the distance where there was no human figure, and couldn't help but be a little discouraged, and nodded:

"My brother-in-law had a lot of bad feelings from Governor Peng, so I asked me to inquire privately if the people who came to visit at the end of the year from Snake Valley said something.

The day before we came back, I poured General Hadan down, and he said a few words in a daze, but I also drank it down and forgot about it!

My brother-in-law and my sister are tired of being together every day and don't look for me, so we meet today...... Well, why didn't I remember?"

Shen Lijia whispered a few words that Hadan said after drinking to Qian Qian, but in fact, the content was not too detailed, that is, several old subordinates of Governor Peng strongly invited Governor Peng to go back, and said that everyone was fed up with birds.

He frowned deeply and was speechless for a long time.

Governor Peng, someone from Snake Valley, not very good future...... The connection between these three points is really infinitely reverie.

Hua Qian lowered his voice and said: "This matter is very important, you must not tell anyone else, especially after returning to the army, don't tell others, remember?"

Shen Lijia nodded heavily: "Don't worry, Uncle Qian, I know it in my heart!"

Hua Duxiu and Ding Qiqi galloped on horseback, and soon went out of the range of Shenquan City.

Both of them were dressed in black, because the weather was cold, and the two of them were also wrapped in thick scarves and velvet hats, looking like people who traveled south and north, and like children of wealthy families with some status.

Because of the idea of going early and returning early, the two of them did not delay on the road, and in less than ten days, they left the realm of the Trapped Demon Valley and came to the realm of the Black Forest.

The Black Forest is close to the sea, and the winter is wet and cold, and the cold is unpleasant.

During the day, the two of them hurried along the official road, and every town would inquire for news, looking for all the news related to "Blackwood Cliff".

In the evening, the two of them shared a room, chatted and talked about their hearts, Hua Duxiu explained the experience of making the sword, Ding Qiqi said that the method was exquisite, and the life was full and happy.

It's just that they almost circled around the Black Forest, from the mountains in the west to the coast in the east, from the end of the plateau in the north to the majestic Qishan Mountains in the south, and two months passed without any news about the Black Wood Cliffs.

They visited many local sects in disguise, and they also used the token of the "Shenji Battalion" to impersonate and met many government masters, and the people they saw before and after did not know hundreds or thousands, but there were very few people who had even heard the words "Black Wood Cliff".

That night, Hua Duxiu and Ding Qiqi were both paralyzed in the quilt, looking at the dim ceiling motionlessly.

"Xiaohua, we thought too smoothly before, but I didn't expect this Black Wood Cliff...... It's so hard to find it than the sky, the sea, the sea and the moon?"

Hua Duxiu felt her tired body and sighed: "Tianhai Haiyue is Shu's base after all, so many people live in the valley, Heimu Cliff...... It's probably a deserted paradise, and it's not surprising that it's hard to find. ”

"Then what should I do? It's going to be spring soon, and there's no way to keep putting it off like this. ”

"According to common sense, the Black Wood Cliff should be the place where the aura of 'wood' is abnormally full, let's go around the periphery of the Black Forest, Qiqi, have you noticed where there is such a place?"

Ding Qiqi's round head shook: "There are trees and vines everywhere here, and the aura of the wood is abundant, but if it is worthy of the level of 'Five Elements Treasure Land', I really didn't notice it." ”

"It seems that Blackwood Cliff should be in the depths of the Black Forest, not on some edge corner. If it doesn't work, use a stupid way, let's go deeper. ”

Ding Qiqi turned his head to look at Hua Duxiu, and his little brows furrowed slightly: "The Black Forest is so big, with a radius of thousands of miles, do we want to sift it all over in a carpet style?"

"I have to think of a way, the Red Underworld hasn't gone yet, so I can't spend all my time here......"

It's not easy to think of this method, and if you think about it, you won't have no clues for more than two months.

Hua Duxiu suddenly kicked the quilt, turned over and hugged Ding Qiqi, Ding Qiqi Jiaojiao snorted and said in disgust:

"Stinky little flower, what are you doing?"

Hua Duxiu smiled evilly: "I don't want to! When the predecessor is lucky, we can find Heimu Cliff by ourselves, and it's useless to think about it!"

It's so cold in the bed, I'm afraid you'll be freezing, so it's okay to sleep with you?

I'll warm you. ”

Ding Qiqi earned it, but Hua Duxiu took the opportunity to hold it tighter and tighter, and he had no intention of letting go at all.

"Well, I really can't do anything about you...... You're cold, right? You want me to warm you up?"

"Hmm~"

Hua Duxiu agreed didi, hugging Ding Qiqi's small body with a happy face.

Feeling that his hands and feet were cold, Ding Qiqi had no choice but to urge his true qi to dissipate heat, and hugged Hua Duxiu with his backhand.

"Stinky little flower, hug it, hug it, don't move around, or I'll set fire to you." ”

"Got it~ Good girl, go to sleep!"

The two hugged each other and slept together, whether it was the brazen Hua Duxiu or the deer jumping around Ding Qiqi, their faces in the dark were all filled with satisfied smiles.

The next morning, the big rooster raised by the innkeeper raised his head and crowed, and the sun shone into the house through the crack in the window, and a new day began.

Now that they had decided to try their luck in the depths of the Black Forest, the two of them bought enough dry food, bacon and other things in the town and drove towards the dense forest.

Because the depths of the Black Forest are primeval forests that have not been cultivated for thousands of years, miasma breeds from time to time, and few residents live in the depths of the mountain forests.

Hua Duxiu and the two rode for only one day before they reached the end of the mountain road, and as far as the eye could see, there was a lot of green, occasionally raised low peaks, and there was no sign of human beings at all.

Deep in the Black Forest, the primeval mountain forests are dense, and the grass and vines are full of dead leaves, which is no longer suitable for horseback riding.

As soon as the horse's hooves stepped on, the humus layer on the ground sank directly into a few inches deep.

Hua Duxiu and the two simply let the horses go free, and each carried a duffel bag more than half a person high to search for in the forest on foot.

As the weather gradually warms up, the unknown flowers in the forest open one after another, many small beasts begin to come out to feed, and the sky above the primeval mountain forest is filled with mist, as if in a fairyland.

Hua Duxiu has already made up his mind, since there are no clues, Ding Qiqi will not be like the Lingxi thief's unique secret method of exploring the treasure land, so he will simply try his luck with fate.

It's really not a camping thing, but it's a pleasure to relax and play in such a lush and quiet primeval mountain forest.

The two of them walked in the forest without purpose, and no matter what direction it was or not, they stood on a high place and looked at whichever side was pleasing to the eye, as long as they didn't go around in circles and didn't turn back.

The so-called planning is in the people, and the success is in the sky, whether you can find the Black Wood Cliff depends on whether God blesses the predecessors of Changchun.

I'm walking by feeling anyway.

Well, pure blindness.

In this way, during the day, they kept hurrying, hungry and had flowers to catch a few small beasts, pick some wild fruits and vegetables, Ding Qiqi made a fire to cook, the two of them made a delicious stomach together, and snuggled up to each other in the tent at night to rest, and the small day was really romantic and comfortable.

More than ten days passed in a flash, and judging by the night stars, the two of them had reached the core area of the Black Forest.

In other words, it takes thousands of miles to get out of the Black Forest, regardless of the east, west, north, south, or north.

It was impossible for outsiders to find them, since they left the town half a month ago and entered the dense forest, they had never met a living person, and they had not seen any traces of human activity.

At noon on this day, Hua Duxiu and Ding Qiqi were setting up a bonfire to deal with a fat rabbit, because Yazhuo was in a semi-crystalline state, not suitable for cooked meat cutting, Ding Qiqi's dragon pattern sword was too long, Hua Duxiu held a stone knife and gently cut the rabbit leg that had been roasted to golden brown.

The knife was knocked down from the rocks by Hua Duxiu earlier, and it was flat enough to grasp.

Now that it has been used for more than half a month, this knife is getting sharper and sharper, and with grease and fire-roasted smoke, the stone knife has a special jewel-like shine.

Hua Duxiu strung the cut cooked meat with sharpened branches, handed it to Ding Qiqi, whose eyes were shining, and said, "Dip some ingredients, be careful of scalding." ”

"Hmm!"

Ding Qiqi happily took the barbecue, dipped some spicy powder in a small bowl, blew a few mouthfuls carefully, and ate it.

In terms of cooking, Hua Duxiu is not as good as her, and in terms of barbecue, she is not as good as Hua Duxiu.

Ding Qiqi had just taken the first bite, and suddenly frowned and paused.

Hua Duxiu said: "What, isn't it delicious? shouldn't it......?"

Ding Qiqi's eyes rolled and he said with a smile: "It's delicious! It's just a little hot." ”

Hua Duxiu smiled: "You, you are always anxious. ”

But I heard Ding Qiqi whisper: "Xiaohua! Directly in front of us, right rear and left rear, someone is secretly monitoring us!"

Hua Duxiu's heart moved, took a deep breath and continued to cut meat with a stone knife.

"So many people, how did I not notice it?"

Ding Qiqi said: "The aura on these people is a little strange, if you don't identify it carefully, it's like a few old trees, and I only found out when one of them swallowed saliva!"

Hua Duxiu: "......"

It seems that our craft is really at home.

"The breath is like an old tree, could it be that these people are all 'wood' magicians?"

"No, I didn't find the Infinite True Qi in them, and they didn't notice the True Qi Spider Silk I exuded. ”

Hua Duxiu pondered while cutting meat, but he should smile on his face and eat in his mouth.

Not a sorcerer, but with an aura similar to that of a wood-based sorcerer, what kind of demon is this?

Approximate location, they should be in the most hidden area of the Black Forest. Don't talk about people around, you can't see ghosts, where did they pop up?

"Qiqi, what do these people want to do? Have you found out how many people are in each direction?"

Qiqi took the rabbit leg handed by Hua Duxiu and nodded slightly: "There are two people in front, two people on the left and one behind the right." They don't have murderous aura on them, so they can't be savages, right?

What to do, to beat them or not?"

Savages?

Although the depths of the Black Forest are rare primeval forests, there are lions and tigers and other fierce beasts, but there are no wild people.

"The two in front will be handed over to you, and the back three will be handed over to me, catch them alive!"
