Now Tao Xin has determined that the ancient passage must be in the wetland area. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info And maybe, she also knows where the ancient passage is. Even if her memory is wrong, it's not a problem, and if there is red hair, it will find special places.

There is a record of this wetland in the original book, but because it is not the place where the main plot takes place, Tao Xin does not have much memory, but at this time, she is really facing the wetland, and she remembers some relevant information.

Strange to say, miasma is originally produced in areas with high temperatures, hot humidity and little wind in the south, but this wetland is located on the northeastern border, but it is also permeated with miasma. This probably has something to do with the terrain in which it is located. Originally, the temperature in the northeast was not very high, but because the clouds were thin and the sun was shining directly, it was very hot when it was hot. And this wetland is surrounded by higher terrain, looking down from the sky, this place is like a recess, the heat is stored in the trough year after year day after day, coupled with the relationship of aura distribution, resulting in this wetland perennial miasma, but fortunately it is not thick, for Tao Xinlai, it is good to pay attention to some.

This is probably one of the reasons why the closer you get to the wetlands, the fewer immortal cultivators live and walk.

The reason why Tao Xinlai recognized this wetland as the wetland described in the original book was because in the swamp in its center grew a dead tree with lush branches but no green leaves.

The dead tree was entrenched in the water, its trunk was extremely thick, and the whole body of the tree was extremely huge. Its upper end is like a willow tree hanging down long and short withered yellow branches, and the more the bark is close to the water, the more moss is dense, and those roots buried in the water are not restless, some parts of the root body are convex to the water surface day by day, and the convex parts are of different shapes, from a distance, it is like countless small people bowing to the big tree in the middle, not only the shape is almost the same, but even the size is about the same.

Birds are playing and chirping in the trees, don't look at their calls so tactfully, in fact, they are all very fierce and vigilant, as long as anyone approaches the tree, they will be attacked by a flock of birds, as evidenced by the deep and shallow white bone fragments next to the trunk.

Judging from Tao Xin's position, she could vaguely see the shape of the dead tree in the miasma, if she hadn't read the original book, she would definitely be like many monks here, thinking that it was a demon beast that controlled the entire wetland. After all, very few people can successfully walk under that dead tree, and those who have the ability to walk through it probably don't look down on the resources of this wetland. But the materials that Tao Xin needs to come can really be found here, the store is an old man who lives nearby, and he pointed out that it is difficult for Tao Xin to come to such a fast place, but it is indeed information that may not be available elsewhere.

Tao Xinlai did not rush in, but recalled the relevant description of this wetland in the original book, and then ate a poison avoidance pill, and fed another one to Hongmao, so that he and Hongmao were protected from miasma and poisonous gas, and then walked to the depths of the wetland.

Because it was determined that the ancient passage was in the wetland, Tao Xinlai was not in a hurry to find the passage, but memorized the twelve materials on the list of materials written by the store and searched all the way. Some of these twelve materials are wetland plants, and some need to be found from wetland poisonous beasts, Tao Xin came to collect what he saw, so he carefully circled around the periphery of the wetland for two days, and finally collected ten materials, although she was not satisfied with this speed, but compared to her own cultivation, it was already good.

There were two other materials that bothered her, one was the sap from the rhizome of the sword, and the other was the tail feathers of the yellow umbrella bird. The former she needs to look deep into the wetlands, while the latter ...... If she wasn't wrong, it should be the nesting birds on the big tree in the middle of the wetland! Although the front one is hard to find, the back one is relatively harder to find, because if you get close to a dead tree, you will be attacked by a flock of birds!

Moreover, although the Yellow Umbrella Bird itself is not good at fighting, it is very cunning. It was small, about the size of her fist, but its tail feathers were three times as long as her body. Normally, its tail feathers overlap to form a single feather, but when it encounters danger, its tail feathers will spread out in all directions to form an umbrella shape, and the tail feathers that spread out into an umbrella shape will rotate in circles, so it can escape by relying on this. However, it has a gecko-like habit - if danger is approaching, it will cut off its tail feathers and escape with wings that it doesn't usually use, and its tail feathers will grow slowly after that.

It is precisely because of this habit that Tao Xinlai has some confidence. As long as she finds a way to make the yellow umbrella bird cut off its tail feathers, she doesn't have to spend a lot of spiritual power and energy fighting the birds.

Tao Xin came to find a branch to write and draw on the ground, thinking about the talisman seal for a while, thinking about the formation for a while, as long as it can be used, she is willing to try, and as long as she finds these two materials, she can quickly pack her bag and go home.

She was so absorbed that she suddenly felt the water and grass in the swamp behind her move a little widely. She vigilantly drew her knife and turned back, and immediately heard a voice say: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I didn't mean to interrupt you, I wanted to wait for you to leave before coming out, but it's too breathless, I'm ...... I always have to come out and breathe......"

Tao Xin came to take a closer look, and it was actually an eight or nine-year-old child. It was a boy, his hair cut short, down to his ears, his face was mottled with black mud, and his big eyes looked at her pitifully at the moment, and he looked very afraid.

How can there be a child here? And it seems that a child who doesn't have much cultivation, no, it should be said, he probably didn't take the path of cultivating immortals at all.

Tao Xinlai didn't immediately put away the knife, but looked him up and down, and asked, "Who are you, why are you here?" ”

The child saw that Tao Xin's knife didn't poke him in the heart, nor did he wipe it on his neck, so he had the courage to give Tao Xin a smile that looked embarrassed, and then carefully climbed up, knelt on the ground and said, "Immortal, I'm ...... I live here and am ...... They came out to find food. That one...... I'm sorry to bother you......"

An eight- or nine-year-old living in a wetland? Or is it a child who has not cultivated immortals? How is this possible? Tao Xinlai instinctively didn't believe it.

The child understood her expression and explained, "I'm ten years old, I've been living here for two years, and I'm ...... My father, who was a loose cultivator, met an enemy on the outskirts of the wetlands, so he told me to take refuge first. I went into the wetlands and got poisoned, but when I woke up, I wasn't afraid of the poison, and at first I didn't find a way out, so I survived here, and then I ...... I went out once...... Felt...... It's better to come back......" The child was a little gloomy, and after a while he cheered up again and said, "Immortal, if you want to go out, I know the way, I can lead the way, just ask the immortal not to kill me." ”

The child didn't even have any clothes on his body, all of them were made of grass and blades of grass to cover his body, but the ten-year-old child was only the size of a seven- or eight-year-old child, and his skin could no longer see what it should be, only his eyes were surprisingly bright. His request was also very humble, he just hoped that Tao Xin would not kill him, and he didn't even know how to ask Tao Xin for some gifts in exchange for a way out.

Tao Xinlai thought about it, put the knife into the sheath, turned his back behind him, and said, "I don't need to go out." It won't kill you either, you go. ”

If Bai Zilian was here, she would probably shush this child and ask for warmth, and then send a hand of friendship with sympathetic eyes, and then do this and that...... Various plots. But Tao Xinlai will not do this easily.

This child is very suspicious when he appears here, Tao Xinlai is not interested in the reason for his appearance, even if what he said is true, and people don't ask for it, even if he asks her for help, she has no obligation to rush to help him or anything, in a strange place, it is natural to keep a few more eyes, and the most important thing is to save his life. Sympathize with people casually, and pay a small amount of resources to continue this sympathy, and finally magically get a return of greater benefits, this is something that can only happen to the protagonists with a halo, Tao Xin recognizes the life of the female partner and doesn't want to be the dream of the heroine.

The boy froze there in some surprise, and then he quickly kowtowed, turned and ran. When he ran away, the child touched his head and said to himself, "Damn, isn't it easier for female cultivators to overflow with motherhood?" Why are there any who can't take the bait? This time it's a loss. He pouted and walked into the wetlands in confusion, hesitating to go back and try again.

In fact, what this kid said was not all a lie, his father was indeed a loose cultivator, and he was indeed chased and killed by the enemy on the outskirts of the wetland, and he did survive in the wetland for two years, and he is ten years old today, but he is not as simple and kind as he appears. In fact, he used this trick to defraud many monks out of their belongings in the wetlands, and most of these monks were passing nuns. He offered to lead the way, but the road was not the way out, but to the dead trees deep in the wetland. The child lived in the hollow of a dead tree for two years, and was cared for as a child by a large bird that had lost his child, so he was lucky to survive.

The child returned to the dead tree, and the more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became, so he decided to go back and brush his sense of existence again, and then test whether Tao Xinlai's maternal feelings were still there. He dressed himself up even more miserable, and then ran out on the way back, thinking that Tao Xinlai should still be in place and didn't go far after such a while, but he didn't expect that he was running happily, but he was colliding with Tao Xinlai.

Although the equipment on the child's body was quite similar to that, the expression on his face and the emotions in his eyes were too late to disguise, which made Tao Xinlai squint his eyes and trust his judgment even more.

The knife came out of the sheath, and Tao Xinlai said coldly: "Little friend, my sister advises you to tell the truth." ”

The boy turned white, and suddenly blew a long, loud whistle, and at the same time turned and ran. (To be continued.) )
