Finally, through the woodland, there is a tall stone mountain in front of me, the stone mountain is smooth as a mirror, like a sharp sword rising into the sky, covering half of the sky, but from the low edge can be seen, on the opposite side is a huge cliff, the bottom is not reduced, shrouded in a layer of mist, there is no way to go.

However, Xi Ling'er went around to a seemingly ordinary boulder, and turned over with the help of a raised stone, Fang Ling followed it, and suddenly found that there was a mountain road leading to the bottom of the cliff behind the stone.

Fang Ling couldn't help but be surprised: "You live down here?"

Xi Ling'er's face was full of joy, and she nodded emphatically and said, "Yes, go down from here, there is a large area in the valley, and my family lives in the largest city." ”

As she spoke, she "touched" a small black bean pill from the animal skin bag straddling her waist and threw it into her mouth.

Fang Ling was secretly surprised, the road behind this mountain was so difficult to find, and he didn't know how the people of the Xi Kingdom found it back then, but because it was so hidden, he was able to avoid the mountains and horses of the Great Song Kingdom.

Walking down the mountain road with Xi Ling'er, the road became wider and wider, and a colorful mist rose in the sky, covering the entire sky, which looked very beautiful.

Along the way, you can also see some unheard of strange flowers and plants, the flowers are always colorful, and even the grass is composed of a variety of colors, but I have not seen any animals or the like.

It seems that from the moment you approach the thorny woodland, the animals seem to be extinct, and ordinary land animals cannot see them, and not even a single bird can be seen in the sky.

The more he walked down, the more Fang Ling found that the bottom of this valley was indeed a huge place, with forests one after another, and there were no edges in sight, and the shadows of some villages could be faintly seen.

When I reached the bottom of the valley, I couldn't see the sun when I looked up, only the colorful fog "color" flowed in the air, which was extremely gorgeous.

The flat valley is a dense and tall forest, with a carved avenue in the middle that passes through the depths of the forest.

The tall trees don't know how many years they have grown, many of the trunks are as thick as a millstone, some even two or three people can't close together, the leaves are dense and fat, covering the sky and the sun, although it is early spring, but there is still some coolness when walking in it.

It didn't take long for a village to appear in front of the village, there was a wooden fence outside the village, each piece of stake was seven or eight feet high, more than three feet wide, cut squarely, and it seemed impermeable after being connected into a piece, outside the fence, there was a ditch around the village, which was ten feet wide and deep, and only a wooden bridge could enter the village, but at this time, the gate of the village was closed tightly.

Fang Ling looked secretly strange, he also walked a lot of roads at the bottom of the valley, it stands to reason that there should be a lot of wild beasts in this place, but he hasn't even touched a rabbit, but this trench should be dug to prevent wild beasts from attacking.

There were also four sentry posts built in the fence, on which four young men dressed in animal skins stood, each holding a bow and arrow, and watched every move outside the village with great vigilance.

Looking in from the outside, you can clearly see the wooden houses in the village, because the trees in the forest are very old, so the wood used for construction is also very large, and the building of the house is quite atmospheric.

As soon as they saw someone coming, the young men on the sentry immediately became vigilant, and invariably pointed their bows and arrows at the two of them, as if they only took one more step forward, they would "shoot" and kill mercilessly.

Seeing everyone so cautious, Fang Ling couldn't help but feel a little bad in his heart, if this was really an isolated place, away from the earth's war for three hundred years, how could it be a peaceful and peaceful scene.

However, the situation at this time was completely different from what he thought, and the vigilance and vigilance on the faces of these people were by no means pretentious, which seemed to mean that there was not a peaceful world under the valley.

Xi Ling'er didn't have any fear of the young man's actions, but shouted loudly: "I'm Xi Ling'er, I want to see Grandpa Ge!"

As soon as these words fell, the young men were taken aback, and one of them hurriedly shouted downward, and after a while, the thick wooden gate of the village opened, and out of it came a group of young men dressed in animal skins or linen clothes, each wearing one of them, carrying bows and arrows on their backs. It's just that many of these scabbards have some rust, which should have been handed down from the elders.

The leader is an old man in Mai in his fifties, his hair is a little gray, but his eyes are clear and bright, although there are a lot of wrinkles on his face, his spirit is very vibrant, it seems that this person is Grandpa Ge in Xi Ling'er's mouth.

As soon as he saw Xi Ling'er, the old man surnamed Ge was overjoyed, and walked over excitedly and said, "Little princess, you are finally back, you haven't seen anyone for half a month, and everyone is dead." ”

Hearing the words of the little princess, Fang Ling's heart became more clear, this is likely to be the descendant of the Xi Kingdom, but looking at the people in this cottage waiting for battle, this matter of borrowing troops is not as easy as he imagined.

Xi Ling'er grinned and said, "I 'lost' my way outside, and Brother Fang sent me back." ”

Grandpa Ge glanced at Fang Ling at this time, but frowned slightly, and then said to Xi Ling'er: "Little princess, don't stay outside, let's go in first." ”

Xi Ling'er nodded heavily, Fang Ling walked in with everyone, this village is not big, and there are not many wooden houses, there are only about twenty or thirty households, and the number of people is only about a hundred.

It seemed that hearing that Xi Ling'er was sent back by an outsider, many people came out of the house, all looking at Fang Ling carefully, whispering something, because the distance was too far, Fang Ling didn't hear what these people were saying clearly, but what made him a little concerned was that there was some pity and sympathy in the eyes of these people.

It stands to reason that there are outsiders who have entered these three hundred years of isolated land, and there is a lot of curiosity in their eyes, but these are obviously sympathetic expressions, Fang Ling only feels that things seem to be getting more and more strange.

Fang Ling couldn't help but think about it, he and Xi Ling'er had already come to the largest wooden house in the village, where various wooden tables and stools were placed, the shape was very quaint, and some exquisite patterns were carved, and on the walls, there were weapons such as bows, arrows, swords, etc.

As soon as Ge Lao walked in, he instructed a sturdy young man outside: "Ge Yi, go and call Dr. Li over, by the way, ask him to bring a bag of green silk pills by the way." ”

"Village Chief, this ...... The stock in the village ......" Ge Yi couldn't help but hesitate when he heard it.

Ge Laoyi said with a heavy face: "If you are told to go, you will go!"

The young man had to sigh and leave quickly, and then Ge Lao turned around and asked Xi Ling'er with a smile: "Little princess, how are you doing lately?" ”

Xi Ling'er grinned, patted the animal skin bag on her waist and said, "Ling'er is in good health, but the jelly beans are almost gone." ”

Old Ge smiled and said, "That's good, that's good, these jelly beans will be given to you by Grandpa Ge another day." ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Fang Ling and sighed: "Young man, I have worked hard for you, and I sent the little princess to the bottom of the valley along the way." ”

Before Fang Ling could speak, Xi Ling'er said with a flutter of eyebrows: "Brother Fang's martial arts are amazing, we met a group of gangsters on the road, and he killed them with a knife in his hand. ”

Grandpa Ge smiled slightly, and didn't take this to heart, at this time, an old man in Tsing Yi in his fifties walked outside the door, although the linen clothes were rough, but they couldn't hide the elegant temperament of the old man.

As soon as Doctor Li walked in, he first bowed to Xi Ling'er, then glanced at Fang Ling, and then walked in, and said gently: "Little princess, please stretch out your hand and let the old minister give you a pulse." ”

Xi Ling'er seemed to be very accustomed to taking the pulse, so she didn't hesitate at all, and immediately stretched out her little hand.

Fang Ling watched from the side, although three hundred years have passed, it seems that the courtier's courtesy is still used here, which shows that this royal family still exists.

After Dr. Li checked Xi Ling'er's pulse, he didn't seem to find anything abnormal, so he nodded slightly, and then said to Fang Ling: "Young man, you also come over and let me check the pulse." ”

Although Fang Ling was suspicious, he still stretched out his hand.

Pressing his fingers on the meridians on his wrist, Dr. Li's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "Young man, your internal strength is quite good." ”

"It's just a small skill for carving insects. Fang Ling said modestly.

Doctor Li then pressed the major "acupoints" on his head, back, arms and legs with his hands, and at the end of the examination, Ge Lao asked in a low voice, "How is it?"

"No problem for now. Doctor Li didn't seem to notice anything abnormal, so he whispered back, then took out a palm-sized bag from his arms and handed it to Fang Lingdao, "Young man, you keep this thing, in case you feel unwell, take one." ”

Fang Ling took the bag, and as soon as he opened it, he asked for a faint fragrance of "medicine", and then looked closely, it was the small bean pill that Xi Ling'er usually ate, he couldn't help but move in his heart, and couldn't help but ask.

Doctor Li seemed to know what he was going to ask, waved his hand slightly, and then said to Elder Ge: "Village Chief, the little princess should be tired after walking so far, so it is better to let her go and rest first." ”

Village Chief Ge nodded and smiled at Xi Ling'er: "Little princess, let's go out first." ”

Xi Ling'er seemed to be extremely excited because of her homecoming, and after saying goodbye to Fang Ling, she left with Village Chief Ge.

When the two of them were far away, Doctor Li said, "Young man, I know what you want to ask, you guessed right, this bag is indeed a 'medicine' pill." ”

"But why do I have to take this 'pill'?" Fang Ling asked with a frown.

Dr. Li looked at him seriously and said, "Young man, it may be difficult to accept this for a while, but what I said is by no means sensational. The reason why you need these pills is because everyone who goes to the bottom of this valley will invariably suffer from a strange disease. ”
