The sky is bright, and the red morning sun rises from the junction of the clouds and the sea and sky. The turbidity of the clouds and waves www.biquge.info changes wantonly in the golden-red light, and at a glance, thousands of miles are different, and it is an extremely magnificent early morning seascape.

Shen Lan looked down in the sky, and returned to the Holy Hand Mansion in a short time. He thought about it for a while, but he didn't go directly to Bailiyan, but went to the hot spring behind the Holy Hand Mansion to find out.

Another four days passed, and early this morning, Shen Lan stepped on the morning light, slowly walked to the front of the Baili cigarette room, and gently knocked on the door.

"Who?"

"Can I come in?"

"Senior brother? Yes... Baili still wants to sleep a little longer. ”

Shen Lan was silent, and he didn't make any sound.

The two were silent for a while, and Baili Yan said helplessly: "Forget it, you like to disturb people's dreams!" I—I haven't gotten up yet... Wait a minute, don't come in! ”

Shen Lan waited quietly in front of the wooden door, and after a long time, with the sound of "squeak", Baili Yan gently opened the door.

In the faint golden morning light, the girl who didn't have time to dress up looked a little tired and sleepy-eyed. Her hair was also slightly messy, but her little face was flushed, her dimples were charming, and her skin was as tender as snow, as if she could pinch out water, and the only look at it made people's hearts beat wildly.

Shen Lan was not polite, hurriedly went in, and closed the door with his backhand. The action was abrupt, but it startled Bailiyan. Before she got up, she was suddenly so angry, and suddenly she was so surprised, the girl hurriedly stepped back, covered her chest with her hands and stared at Shen Lan, "You... What are you doing? ”

"Nerves." Shen Lan glanced at her and whispered, "Go wash up, let's go." ”

"Go? Where to go? ”

"Be quiet, the wall has ears. Aren't you going to find the little junior brother? I've found a way. ”

"Huh?? Huh?! Really? ”

"Say quietly. I don't want Senior Chen Helm to follow us. Let's just go quietly. ”

Baili Yan smiled happily: "Okay, you can do what you say, you wait a while, I'll be fine right away~"

As soon as the voice fell, Baili Yan beat the water from the water tank, and heated it with a spiritual fire.

"Let's go, let's go, brother, what have you found?"

Shen Lan got up and led the way in front, "Go to the hot springs first, be lighter." ”

Baili Yan's face was full of doubts, "Why do you go to the hot springs in broad daylight..."

"If I'm right, the hot water under the hot springs will go straight underground. We'll talk about the details as we go. Bring everything with you and don't forget anything. I'm afraid we won't come back in the future. ”

"Really, really?"

"Find out if it's true or not, don't bother."

Bailiyan glanced back at the side room, both of them were lightly dressed and simple, and there was really nothing special, but when they thought that they would never come back in the future, they couldn't help but feel a little reluctant in their hearts. But after thinking about it, if she can leave with Shen Lan, she may be able to see Yun Hua soon, her heart has long been like an arrow from the string, and she doesn't know where she has flown to.

"Let's go, there's nothing left... Brother, haven't you ever been to a hot spring? I'm leading the way in front. ”

Shen Lan didn't deny it, nor did he speak, just followed behind the girl. The two of them moved quickly with the wind, but in a moment they arrived in front of a bay of hot springs behind the Holy Hand Mansion.

"I'll go down and have a look, you wait for me here." He didn't wait for Bailiyan to reply, he plunged into the spring, surfaced after a while, nodded to Bailiyan: "There is no trace of turbidity, come down, although the entrance is not big, but it should be passable." ”

Baili Yan smiled: "You have been here before?" ”

"Hmm..."

"Okay, okay, what's this, I look embarrassed."

Baili Yan did not hesitate and immediately jumped in. The two of them dived and swam to the mouth of the low cave of the spring, only to see a deep and strange dark small opening in front of them. Baili Yan was a little scared in his heart, and always felt that something strange would pop out of this endless darkness.

Shen Lan seemed to know her thoughts, pulled out her belt, took one for herself, and let Baili Yan take another one. He cleared the way ahead, and the maiden followed closely. The two entered the cave and began to swim downward, although they couldn't see their fingers, but as long as Baili Yan pulled the belt on his hand, there would always be a response from the other end, which made the girl in the dark feel at ease.

I don't know how long I swam, the black hole gradually widened, and Shen Lan gradually found that the temperature of the surrounding water began to drop, and even the weight density of the water began to decrease. Just as he was puzzled, a stream of water swept by, and the two of them were swept away in surprise, if it weren't for the strong belt, I am afraid that the two would have been separated.

Shen Lan pondered for a moment, then suddenly moved along his belt to Baili Yan's side, holding her hand tightly.

The touch was like a piece of gentle nephrite, and the girl trembled obviously, but she also knew that once this situation was separated, she didn't know how big a fork would go. I don't know why, holding my palm gives people an endless feeling of solidity and reliability, as if as long as you are with the owner of this palm, no matter how big the wind and waves, no matter how insurmountable the calamity, it will be solved.

No, it may not be appropriate to say that it will be easy to solve. But the girl is sure in her heart that no matter what happens, the person around her will be by her side. This feeling has long surpassed the relationship between brothers and sisters, right? Baili Yan asked himself. After a long time, she thought to herself, "Senior brother... It's like... It's like an older brother or a father...? ”

She was warm, and she reacted to her body movements, and grabbed Shen Lan's palm with her backhand. The two of them clasped their fingers tightly, and in this darkness where they couldn't see the edge and couldn't tell the direction, there seemed to be nothing to be afraid of.

As you go deeper and deeper into the ground, the water becomes more frantic and denser. From the flow of water to the flow of water vapor, and finally the water vapor to the air, the two of them were in the ground, even if the spiritual flame in their hands was bright and dazzling, it could only dispel the darkness around them for more than ten zhang.

I can't see where the margin is.

"Are you alright?"

"Hmm... It's okay... It's good that the senior brother caught me, otherwise I would have really been separated just now..."

"It should. If you are a junior brother here, there may be a way to make you feel more at ease. ”

Baili Yan smiled sweetly, "Xiao Jing is indeed very careful... Also very good at taking care of people..."

Shen Lan looked at the girl's side face and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "There is no cave down here, it's not bad as I expected before." Somewhere we can't see now, there is very likely to be a passage leading to the Mirage Continent, let's look around, if we can go back, it depends here. ”

"But then again, how did you find out here, brother? That's amazing! ”

While looking for a way, Shen Lan told Baili Yan about the origin of his thoughts and guesses and conclusions. After listening to Baili Yan, he also admired Shen Lan so much. No one has discovered this path for so many years, and the senior brother is not only profound, but also extremely reliable in his thoughts.

With his thoughts flowing, Baili Yan suddenly said, "Senior brother, the people in the Holy Hand Mansion, is there a problem?" ”

Shen Lan was slightly stunned, nodded for a while, and said, "It's good to know in my heart." I'm not sure exactly what they're trying to do, but it's always good to keep an eye on them when you're away. They help you expel the turbidity in your body is a great grace, and I will find a way to make up for it in the future, but if you see them in the future, don't get too close. Got it? ”

"Well, I trust Senior Brother's judgment."

"Well, follow me, in that direction." Shen Lan stretched out his fingers.

"Huh? How do you know, brother? ”

"This, Magnet Guide. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to see the direction either. ”

"Yummy! Big brother, you still carry this kind of thing with you... Is that the direction of the Jiazi air duct? ”

"Well, if my guess is correct, there should be an article over there."

The two of them were eager to try, and hurriedly flew in the direction that Shen Lan said. Because of the darkness around them, Gai's vision was too poor, and the two of them didn't dare to fly at extreme speed, for fear that something would suddenly appear in front of them and they couldn't dodge. As a result, under the condition of deliberately suppressing the speed, after flying for more than a dozen hours in a row, there was no change or noteworthiness at all.

Shen Lan groaned: "This place is too big, not to mention that we have a plan in our hearts, if we are ordinary people, even if someone comes in from the hot spring cave before, I am afraid that it will be impossible to find the clue in this." It is no wonder that Baicaoyu has been isolated from the world for so many years. ”

Baili Yan's face was full of tiredness, and she flew in the sky for too long, blowing her face quite dry, Shen Lan was talking, her stomach was "growling" exchange, it seemed that she hadn't eaten all day, even if she didn't eat, she still felt uncomfortable on an empty stomach.

Shen Lan took out a bag of dry food from his arms, "Pad it first, and when you see the little junior brother, ask him to make something to eat for you." ”

Bailiyan nodded fiercely, opened the package and saw that it was all dry food that was easy to preserve, and it had been soaked in water for a long time before, but it didn't rot. She didn't hesitate, these foods were rough and tasteless, but at the moment, it was always better than nothing.

She chewed carefully, and the sound of the empty space seemed to be swallowed, if it weren't for the body temperature of the young man in her hand, Baili Yan would be alone, I am afraid that she would be scared and cry.

At this moment, Shen Lan suddenly said, "Wait a minute, don't chew the food yet." ”

"Is that disgusting me?"

"Nope. Listen closely, is there any sound? ”

When Baili Yan heard the words, he didn't eat anything in his mouth, and listened with his ears sideways.

Dead silence, silence, silence, and then, suddenly, as if delusional, there was a faint, fleeting "whine" sound.

Baili Yan covered his mouth in surprise, goosebumps rose in an instant, and he hurriedly hugged Shen Lan's arm, "Big... Big brother? Got monsters? ”

Shen Lan's face was not good-looking, and he still comforted him: "Don't be afraid, it doesn't have to be a mountain spirit monster." Even if there is really anything, the senior brother will protect you. ”

Baili Yan didn't dare to say it out loud, just nodded like a sheep and said "um" softly. The two of them continued to fly forward for another hour, and the voice began to become clearer.

What came to my ears was the howling of the wind swept by "woo", and... It seems that thousands of demons and hundreds of ghosts tear the air at night.

Baili Yan was so frightened that his face was colorless, and when he was panicking and at a loss, a gust of wind blew, and the spiritual fire that had originally jumped in Shen Lan's palm was suddenly extinguished. The sudden darkness made the girl exclaim, Shen Lan clenched her palm, "This wind is strange, no matter what happens, don't leave my side." ”

"Well, got it..."

Before the words fell, I saw a flash of white blades in the dark void, and a cold moon sword light changed in a thousand ways, only listening to the sound of "ping pong" metal handover, rubbing out ripples like metal sparks.

Baili Yan was terrified, and the current situation seemed to be something attacking him. However, if it was just like this, she would not have lost her temper so much, and what really surprised her was that she didn't even have a clue how the attack came from, from which direction, and how the other party approached.

The young man next to her seemed to know what she was thinking, and he pondered for a long time, and he had a plan in his heart, and said slowly: "This wind is the enemy, and the enemy is also this wind." You patronize the search for the enemy's trail, but ignore the howling wind itself. ”

Baili Yan suddenly realized, and frowned again for a while: "That's not right... The wind is formless and insubstantial... Senior brother, you just now..."

"You've played with them, have you?"

"Hmm..."

"If my guess is correct, it should be 'Scythe'."
