When Xue Zong woke up the next day, Lao Dao and Huang Song were gone, presumably gone. Beside him lay an iron sword, a very package. Looks like it's supposed to be reserved for exploring the forest on your own.

Xue Zong packed up and returned to the city of Athens, because many people saw the battle between Xue Zong and Rudalie, and of course they also saw the tragedy of Xue Zong, in order not to cause trouble, Xue Zong did not go through the front door of the palace, but slipped in through the back door. At this time, Ye Zi should be reading a book in the house, Xue Zong thought and walked into Ye Zi's house. That familiar and delicate face always made Xue Zong feel at ease, and Ye Zi sat quietly in front of Zhuo reading a yellowed ancient book.

The girl was so fascinated that she didn't notice that someone was coming in from outside the house.

Xue Zong looked at Ye Zi's incomparably beautiful face, and there was a trace of reluctance in his heart. No, if I show reluctance, the leaves will be even more sad. Thinking of this, Xue Zong coughed lightly twice, attracting Ye Zi's attention.

Ye Zi put down the book, looked up and saw the uninvited guest standing at the door, and pouted: "Why, I can't hold on in less than two days?"

"No, I'm here to ......" Xue Zong choked up, it was always difficult to say the words of separation, and this time I said goodbye, the future is unknown, and I don't know when I will see you again.

Seeing that Xue Zong's face was wrong, Ye Ziyan smiled: "What's the matter, the dignified manly husband has such a shameful expression, it's really shameless." ”

Xue Zong walked around the table and sat down opposite the leaves, "Listen to me, I may have to leave for a while." “

"Where?"

"My master wants me to go to the Fagong Forest, and it may take a year. “

Ye Zi shook his head and said, "Xue Zong, are you looking for my happiness, what are you doing there?"

Seeing that Xue Zong's expression didn't look like lying, Ye Zi panicked, "Hmph, that hateful old man, the net will summon people, how sinister that place is, the locals have to form groups to enter it, and letting you go alone is tantamount to sending you to death." “

"I've made up my mind, Yezi, now I seem to be a wasted person, what kind of face does I live in the world, and what expression should I use to face you. Only when I become stronger and become the strongest can I protect you and protect the future. For this I had to go. “

"But, to go there is to die!" The leaves are like tears, and the crying pear blossoms bring rain, which is even more moving.

Xue Zong hugged Ye Zi in his arms and said softly: "You know, I have to go, don't worry, I will be back in a year." I won't let anyone bully you then, and we'll never be apart again. ”

......

At dusk, Xue Zong walked out of the leaf room. Before leaving, the leaves explained in detail everything about the Fagong Forest and the use of all the applications in the Ponderosa Pine Packet.

Xue Zong asked Ye Zi to bring a message to Chang Da and the princess, saying that he was going to go into the mountains with his master to cultivate, which might take a year, and expressed his care for this time.

Everything was arranged, Xue Zong packed his bags and started his cultivation journey.

"Princess, Xue Zong is gone. Changda reported to Princess Amosis.

"Fagon Forest, he shouldn't be going. The princess said melancholy.

"Princess, I believe that Xue Zong Yishi will definitely return safely and then ...... "Save Athens and save you, the second half of the sentence Changda did not come out, rather than making an oath, it is better to wait and see."

At the same time, behind the mountains, woods.

"Huang Song, I know you're here. Come out and see Ben girl. The girl's silver bell-like voice pierced the night sky, breaking the peace of the forest.

"It's noisy, it's a big night, and you can't let people sleep!" A shrill voice came from a big tree not far away, and the night hid his figure, but two golden lights shot out of his eyes.

"Who are you?"

The black shadow jumped down from the treetops, and when it came to the girl, it was an old man dressed as a thin and withered Taoist priest, "Who was I at that time, it turned out to be you, this girl." What's the matter, the little lover is gone, lonely?"

Ye Zi blushed and said, "Indecent, it turned out to be you a charlatan, last time you ran fast, this time I see that this girl didn't pout your beard!"

"Hey, little girl, it's rude, if you have the ability, try it. ”

Ye Zi pulled a posture of "guarding gossip" and went out to fight the old way. Lao Dao just dodged and dodged, and did not fight back, after a few moves, Lao Dao secretly said that he was surprised, it seems that this girl has also been instructed by a famous artist, and the foundation is much better than Xue Zong.

One old and one young, fought in the silent forest.

......

The golden castles and silvery walls of Athens are bathed in the morning sun and are reflected in orange. Today's Athens is no different from the past, still enjoying peace and tranquility, but those who are interested can notice that the atmosphere in the city is slightly different, and the Ruda family pays high prices to collect iron tools throughout the country, and the purpose is unknown. Because of peace, people don't often talk about the future, but when war comes, there is no power to talk about the future, and all that awaits them is endless suffering and abyss.

The sorrow of a small country is exactly that.

On the loess road in the west of the city, there was a young man who was out of place with the people next to him, dressed in black, carrying a sword under his side, and carrying a small bag, walking towards the sparsely populated Fagong Forest. Along the way, Xue Zong planned how to survive, and as a member of civilized society, his understanding of survival only stayed in some survival programs. During the journey, from time to time, well-meaning passers-by reminded Xue Zong of the danger of the road ahead and persuaded him to take a detour. Xue Zong just smiled at these well-wishers and thanked them for their kindness.

After a few days, there were no pedestrians on the road anymore, the trees were getting denser and denser, would there be dead wood blocking the road, Xue Zong knew that he was not far from his destination.

In the evening of that day, Xue Zong arrived at the entrance of the Fagong Forest, in a small inn dedicated to hunters and cultivators. Every year during the peak season, hunters must pair up to go into the forest to hunt monsters, peel off their furs for money, or go deep into the mountains and forests to collect herbs, these things are very sought-after on the black market, so some people will embark on adventures one after another, and some people are unfortunate and never make it out of the mountains alive.

It's off-season, so Xue Zong is the only one staying in this hotel. The owner was an old man with gray hair and beard, and he heard him say that he had opened a hotel here all his life. The old man prepared a simple cooked meal for Xue Zong, and like everyone else, advised him not to enter the forest here, the beasts at this time were the most ferocious of the year. They can get especially crazy due to the scarcity of food.

Xue Zong saw that the old man was very loyal, so he told him that he had come here to practice, so he didn't have to worry.

"Hey, you young people, you are just strong in blood, and you can't listen to words. With that, the old man withdrew.

You guys, besides me, also entered the forest at this time, and they are really brave. Xue Zong didn't think much about it, and lay on the bed making plans.

Unbeknownst to the boy, a huge conspiracy awaited him.
