In the dark forest, both shrubs, flowers, and branches and leaves of trees are black.

It is rumored that this black vegetation has a disruptive effect on the spiritual consciousness of the practitioner. No matter how strong a cultivator is, when he enters the dark forest, his eyes will be black, almost like a deaf and blind person.

Li Ji tried it with his spiritual sense, and sure enough, as soon as he encountered the vegetation in the forest, his spiritual sense collapsed, and he couldn't find anything.

Fortunately, although the divine mind was also affected, it was able to move unhindered.

Miles flew over the Dark Forest, and a simple log cabin appeared in the forest ahead.

A hunched, gray-haired old man leaned against the wall of the wooden house, closing his eyes and enjoying the rays of sunlight streaming through the foliage.

Li Ji put away his golden wings and floated down in front of the wooden house.

walked towards the old man and said politely, "Uncle, ask you for directions!"

The hunchbacked old man didn't even open his eyes, and said lazily, "You go back!"

Li Jiqi said, "I just entered the forest, why does my husband want to persuade me to go back?"

"Because it's not for humans!"

"If it's not suitable for human beings, who is my husband, and why does he live here?"

The hunchbacked old man's voice was full of ridicule: "I am a forest keeper, so naturally I want to live here!"

Li Ji was just asking for directions, but seeing that the old man didn't want to say, he couldn't help it. He said, "Excuse me," and turned and walked deeper into the forest.

After walking dozens of zhang away, I suddenly saw a person sitting in the barren grass in front of me, looking at the face, body and color of his clothes, it was the hunchbacked old man just now.

Li Ji was shocked!

Along the way, his mind opened, and he was monitored by the space department within a radius of more than twenty feet, how could this person suddenly run to the front without him noticing?

Moreover, this person obviously has no cultivation!

Could it be that this is a hermit master? But even a strong man like Qu Bin, the king of harmony, can't hide the inspection of divine thoughts!

Li Ji rolled his eyes, suddenly changed his strategy, stopped, and respectfully saluted the old man, "Dare to ask the old man's surname, why are you blocking my way?"

The old man did not answer, but sat there motionless.

Li Ji smiled slightly, "It seems that my husband has something to say to me, then I'll wait for you at the wooden house!"

Turning around and returning to the wooden house, he took out the table and chairs from the storage bag, made two plates, and put peanuts and preserved eggs in them. Take out a jar of Fenjiu, pour a full glass, and then put away the jar.

As soon as he raised his glass and drank himself, he saw the hunchbacked old man rushing to the front like a whirlwind, reaching out to grab the glass.

Li Ji sat still, his body and chair quickly retreated.

The hunchbacked old man stepped forward, grabbing out his hands one after another, but was carefully avoided by Li Ji.

The old man's figure was fast and incoherent, with a string of phantoms, and the latter came first, going around behind Li Ji and blocking his way. He followed one arm to prevent Li Ji from dodging, and at the same time grabbed the wine glass with his other hand.

Li Ji tilted his neck, drank half a glass of wine with a grunt, and licked it on the rim of the glass again. He smiled smugly at the old man. That means, you have the ability to drink!

Unexpectedly, the old man snatched the cup with his hand, drank all the residual wine in the cup, and still felt that he was still unsatisfied, so he stretched out his tongue and licked the whole cup.

He didn't care about Li Ji's strange gaze, and asked directly, "Is there anything else?"

"Uh...... Naturally, you can drink it if you like it!"

Li Ji said, carried the chair back to the table, took out the wine jar, poured two glasses of wine, and before he could speak, the old man snatched it one by one and drank the two glasses of wine one after another.

He had no choice but to continue pouring wine, and said with a wry smile, "These two are appetizers! Please try them!" he said and pushed the drunkard peanuts and preserved eggs in front of the old man.

The old man pinched two peanuts, frowned and chewed, leaned over and sniffed the preserved eggs, revealing displeasure, and flicked his fingers to bounce out the plate containing the preserved eggs. Its strength is very fierce, if it weren't for Li Ji's timely move, this plate of preserved eggs would inevitably fall to the ground.

This person doesn't know how to count etiquette!

Li Ji rolled his eyes, stopped his movements, and stopped pouring wine, "May I ask the old man's surname Gao's name......"

The old man directly interrupted his questioning, "Yuan Tai." Pour the wine...... Hurry up and pour the wine, be careful I beat you!"

The more than 30 threatening words prepared by Li Ji later, such as if you don't answer, I won't pour wine, etc., were blocked back, and they were really uncomfortable.

As he poured his wine, he continued to ask, "Is Yuan Lao a forest guard?"

Yuan Tai said angrily, "Nonsense...... he saw that Li Ji stopped pouring wine, and hurriedly put on a smiling face, "Yes, I am a forest guard!"

Li Ji filled the cup and handed it over respectfully.

Yuan Tai drank the wine down, smacked his mouth, looked left and right, and finally grabbed a few peanuts and chewed them reluctantly.

People in this world may not be used to eating preserved eggs, but Yuan Tai is the first person to drink and eat peanuts.

Li Ji thought for a while, and took out Xue Yi's snacks from the cloud and snow space, such as sandwich biscuits, potato chips, snow cakes, and puffed food. Unexpectedly, Yuan Tai actually ate heartily and was addicted.

These are all things to coax children......

Li Ji coughed dryly and asked, "I see that this place is barren and unproductive, how can Yuan Lao make a living?"

Yuan Taika chewed on the potato chips and said vaguely, "Are you wrong...... The Dark Forest is so rich in its native produce, so what's so difficult about life?"

Li Ji blinked, "Oh, then please talk about it!"

......

The two of them drank the mountain flowers and bloomed, cup after cup.

But the wine was basically drunk by the old man surnamed Yuan.

Under the encouragement of Li Jilian's praise and snacks, Yuan Tai talked endlessly, telling a lot about the situation in the dark forest.

However, Li Ji knew very little about the Dark Forest, and the questions he could ask were extremely limited.

But he knew that this person was not talking nonsense, but everything he knew was meticulous.

heard a lot of long-ago events, and was cherished by Yuan Tai.

Li Ji couldn't help but wonder, "How long has Old Yuan been guarding the forest?"

When Yuan Tai heard this, he suddenly stopped the wine glass in his hand, his eyes showed confusion, and he said after a long time, "Maybe it's five hundred and thirty-seven years, or eight hundred and sixty-four years, or one thousand two hundred years, I can't remember!"

The corners of Li Ji's mouth twitched, and he asked with a smile, "Even if you can't remember clearly, at most a few years apart, how can there be such a big difference?"

"I've had amnesia!"

“......”

Yuan Tai's eyes flashed, as if he evoked unbearable memories, "That year, a strong man from the Snow God Sect came to the Black Blood Forest and wanted to find some heavenly treasures, how could ......this be? It was a big battle in the dark!"

Li Ji's brows trembled, his heart beat rapidly, and he felt that his blood was about to boil.

"Worship the Snow God Cult!"

He suddenly remembered the secret word of the Demon Sect soldier of the Right Martial Guard, when he contacted Elder Yue

"Rain Falling Mountain" "Show and Shen"

At that time, I guessed that it was the words "snow" and "god". But I never thought that it was the name of the Demon Sect.

The Demon Cult is called the Snow God Cult!

Li Ji is sure that he has never heard the name.

But why is it so excited that the blood is almost boiling?

He carefully brushed it up, and was suddenly surprised to find that he didn't know when he had become associated with the word "snow".

The girlfriend who is not in love is called Xueyi.

The blood lotus girl who made her miss her name was Yun Xueyao.

The birthplace after crossing is a secret land of snow.

The healing relics obtained, the snow word jade plate.

Even the small building and Xueyi room that I have lived in are also ghostly, named "Snow Pavilion" and "Cloud Snow Space"!

What's going on?

Just a coincidence?

Or is there something hidden in my heart that I don't even know?
