Three days later

Due to the rain the night before, foggy came in the early morning of the second day. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe whole valley is surrounded by white mist, and the herbs loom in the fog, becoming a poetic mountain ink painting, the white mist is entangled in the mountains, rivers, grass and trees, and houses, which is indeed like the blank space in the painting, which is pleasing to the eye and lingering.

In the past few days, Zhao Qing has been collecting herbs and dew with Xia Cao. I go out every day without light, and I also lose the jade spirit pill refined by the winter worm with morning dew, and after Yun Xi took it, there were signs of improvement. The man also woke up on the second day, but he was still very weak, and after waking up for a while, he fell asleep again. Therefore, it is also necessary to collect morning dew every day.

Zhao Qing was dressed in coarse linen clothes, dressed in men's clothes, and the long green silk hair behind her was tied up by her with a square scarf, although it was men's clothing, she was also handsome and cute. Her little hands, which were as white as jade, were also scratched by the blades of grass because of the past few days of collecting medicine and dewdrops, and those tiny red scratches were particularly obvious in her white little hands. She was also used to being scratched by blades of grass, and she didn't care anymore. Zhao Qing held a white porcelain bottle and carefully put the tip of the leaf on the mouth of the bottle, and the dew drops slid along the leaves like a bottle. Looking at the dew that is more than half harvested, I feel a sense of accomplishment.

The spare notoginseng grass and rhododendron leaves in the Hundred Herbs House are almost exhausted, these are all herbs for treating trauma and stopping bleeding, and these herbs are still needed due to the injuries on Yan Yunxi's body. The winter insects asked Xia Cao to pick some of them today, so he didn't accompany Zhao Qing today, and went to the mountains to collect medicine alone with the medicine basket.

Because there is often fog in the mountains, it is difficult for the fog to disperse when the sun is not rising. So Zhao Qing didn't dare to go too far away from the medicine house, Xia Cao was not by his side, if she got lost, no one would take her back to the medicine house. Zhao Qing is also strange, Xia Cao, a child, does not look at his young age, but has a strong sense of direction, even when it is foggy in this mountain, he can also distinguish the direction very well. Just like today, the white fog is vast, and she can also go to the mountains to collect medicine, which really surprised and admired her.

The dew in the porcelain bottle in Zhao Qing's hand was gradually full, and at this time fine beads of sweat had oozed from her forehead, seeing that the dew had been collected, the corners of her mouth rose, and her face showed a little happy smile, and she lightly covered the dust of the porcelain bottle. With a long sigh of relief, it was finally done. Raise your hand to wipe the sweat from your forehead and smile with satisfaction. Prepare to return to the medicine house and take the newly collected dew to the winter worm to refine medicine.

But just as he was about to go back, a red shadow suddenly flashed in front of his eyes. His body stiffened, and he froze in place. Since it was still cloudy, the fog was heavy and there was no sun. Therefore, the surrounding light was still a little dim, and Zhao Qing's palms began to sweat involuntarily when he was so frightened. She swallowed her saliva, suggesting to herself that she must have seen it wrong and hallucinated.

"Hallucinations, hallucinations for sure! Zhao Qing, what are you thinking nonsense! Zhao Qing patted his cheek and shook his head vigorously to make himself sober. After taking a few deep breaths, I got back in shape and prepared to go back.

Just as she was about to lift her feet to go back, the red shadow flashed again, and it was closer to her. Zhao Qing suddenly remembered that Xia Cao, a bear child, was trying to scare her. The ghost stories told to her all day long said that the elves and ghosts in this mountain will transform into shape when they become the climate, confuse the world, eat their hearts, and suck their spirits. Or those birds and beasts, after cultivating to perfection, will look for human skins, and when they see those handsome men and women who are beautiful in the past, they will be tempted to the mountains, take their skins, and take them for themselves.

Although she was once an elite person in the 21st century, she was highly educated and returned to China. She also believes in science, but because she was influenced by her grandmother when she was a child, she was afraid of ethereal things like gods and ghosts since she was a child. And science has also proved that human beings have souls, but with a different name, brainwaves. Since she can travel from the twenty-first century in such a bloody way, she is also skeptical of the theory of ghosts and gods.

Zhao Qing saw the red shadow floating towards her again, her long hair covering her face, and her pointed red nails stretching out, which frightened her and made her gasp, and the atmosphere was even more weird. Suddenly remembered those elves and ghosts that Xia Cao said, fox fairies and goblins. My mind went blank, and I was so scared that I forgot to run away. I saw that the shadow was getting closer and closer to me, and suddenly remembered that Yun Xi was still waiting for her dew. I mustered up courage in my heart and hugged the porcelain vase in my hand. I turned around and ran in the opposite direction, but I had just run two steps when I was suddenly hit by something. As soon as his feet slipped, the whole person leaned back, seeing that he was about to fall, he suddenly felt that his waist was tight, and he was held by a strong arm, as the square scarf that tied his hair fell, Zhao Qing's pitch-black green silk scattered down, let it fly, and the porcelain bottle in his hand was also hit by this, and he slipped from his hand unexpectedly.

"My dew!" Zhao Qing shouted, she suddenly didn't care about what she bumped into, she was just nervous about the bottle of dew that she had worked so hard to collect, and reached for it!

I saw the man around her waist, with quick eyes and hands. The other hand easily caught the bottle of dew with great speed! Zhao Qing let out a long sigh of relief when he saw that the dew had not been thrown to the ground. Remembering that she had just bumped into something, like a willow branch's slender waist being held by an arm, she turned her head to look at the person holding her.

The man was dressed in a white shirt, white clothes were better than snow, his clothes were fluttering, and the streamers between his clothes were accompanied by the black hair like ink and let him fly beside him. It was still the half of the white jade mask, covering his handsome face. The glass-like eyes behind the mask flashed with a touch of surprise, faintly shiny and flowing, but they were still as cold as stars.

"Xuanming?" Zhao Qing blurted out his name, but he couldn't react for a while, and looked at him blankly.

And this time, Xuan Ming didn't seem to hear Zhao Qing call his name, but just maintained this movement, looking at her lightly. Zhao Qing was stunned for a few seconds. finally reacted, but what she thought in her heart was that she and Yunxi were saved, there was Xuan Ming, and there was hope for returning to Beijing. There were surprises and doubts in my heart.

Just as Zhao Qing was surprised and delighted, a familiar woman's voice came from behind her.

"You vixen, why do you always like to drill into my brother's arms, let go of my brother!" Looking at the voice, it turned out to be the red shadow who spoke.

I saw her stomping her feet in anger. Raising his hand to puff away the long hair in front of his face, a delicate little face was revealed, and the flame mark on his forehead also came out. I saw her step forward, pulled away Zhao Qing, who was held in Xuan Ming's arms, and glared at her viciously.

This voice, this look, this posture. Zhao Qing couldn't be more familiar. The charm of the Stygian Tower, Yin Chiyan. That little girl who scared her with a big spider! I didn't expect to pretend to be a ghost to scare her today, and suddenly I felt like I was being teased.

"It's you! Dead girl, you actually pretend to be a ghost to scare me! Zhao Qing realized that he was being tricked, and couldn't help but become angry.

"Yes and what! I didn't expect to scare you so much, I couldn't scare you to death, and I actually ran into my brother's arms again, so shameless! "Yin Chiyan is in a hurry, even if he is exposed, he will not show weakness.

Being said by Yin Chiyan made Xuan Ming and Zhao Qing embarrassed for a while. Two faint blushes floated on Zhao Qing's fair cheeks, because she suddenly remembered that every time she saw Xuan Ming, it seemed that she was in his arms. The first time she was rescued by Xuan Ming, she was like this, she was like this when she hid from the rain with him in the cave, she was scared by a big mouse, and even when she was shot by Yin Chiyan in the Stygian Lan Tower, and Xuan Ming pulled her to dodge. Goodbye Xuan Ming today, still held in his arms. It's no wonder that Yin Chiyan hates himself so much, and when he thinks of this, his cheeks can't help but turn even redder. couldn't help but raise his eyes and peek at Xuan Ming, only to see that although Xuan Ming was still expressionless, he was still the one with a cold heart and clear eyes.

"Hey! Dead girl, you pretend to be a ghost to scare me, and you are so arrogant! Who the hell is shameless! ”

"yes, yes! It's just to scare you, I can't use poison on you, can't I scare you! "I saw that Yin Chiyan crossed his hands on his hips, looking like he was going to fight." I thought I could teach you a good lesson this time and take revenge for the last time. I never thought that my senior brother would defend you like this, since I was a child, I haven't even touched my brother's fingers. On the contrary, you are a vixen, and you drill into my brother's arms every time. Hum! ”

"What nonsense are you talking about, I'm a married woman. If you hadn't pretended to be a ghost to scare me, how could I have bumped into your precious brother! And it almost shattered the dew I had worked so hard to collect. Zhao Qing glanced at Yin Chiyan in embarrassment, and carefully took the dew porcelain bottle in Xuan Ming's hand.

"Dew? What do you do collecting dew? Yin Chiyan looked at the white porcelain bottle in Zhao Qing's hand suspiciously.

"This is a life-saving thing, Yun Xi is still waiting for this jade spirit pill refined by dew to treat internal injuries." Zhao Qing couldn't help but sigh, this little girl's face changed faster than turning over, and she was still fierce when she first came out, but now she changed her words sharply and turned her attention to the dew.

"Internal injuries? Yan Gongzi is okay! Xuan Ming asked lightly.

"Yun Xi was seriously injured, but fortunately we met the two little miracle doctors of the Hundred Herb Pavilion, Worm and Xia Cao. Otherwise, ......" Zhao Qing recalled the original crisis of the situation, and still had palpitations. Turning to think of it, how could Xuan Ming and Yin Chiyan appear here, so he asked. "By the way, how did you find here?"

"It's not easy to find you, my senior brother is not only unmatched, but also good at tracking. Finding you is easy. Yin Chiyan said proudly, as if these were what he was good at.

"Yan'er." Xuan Ming glanced at Yin Chiyan silently, and said to Zhao Qing again. "The ghost spirit sent by the Stygian Lan Tower has never been restored, and the landlord noticed that something was wrong. He sent me to investigate, and found that the carriage did not go back to Jingguan Road, but came to this Shiling Mountain, and found the corpses of the dragon and the groom on the way, and the ghost was missing. Presumably you and Yan Gongzi must have met with accidents, I tracked all the way to the bottom of the cliff, and there were traces of your departure on the shore, and it was speculated that you were not dead, so I found here. ”

Zhao Qing nodded thoughtfully and pointed at Yin Chiyan.

"The landlord sent you to find us, so why is she here!" Zhao Qing was obviously still worried about Yin Chiyan's scaring of himself, so he still asked with some ill-willedness.

"The landlord asked the senior brother to come to find your fox, how can I rest assured, so I begged the landlord to come together." Before Xuan Ming returned, Yin Chiyan grabbed the words and said arrogantly.

"Dead girl, I'm a year older than you. Why should you call me Sister Sheng, open your mouth and close your mouth to be a fox, a fox spirit, it's too rude! ”

"It's up to you, and you deserve to let me call you sister!" Yin Chiyan squinted at Zhao Qing disdainfully, with his hands around his chest, looking arrogant.

"Sooner or later, I'll let you call my sister!" Zhao Qing didn't get angry when he saw her posture, but just smiled obliquely. Turning his mind, he thought of the conversation between Wei Mei and Yun Xi before, and looked at Xuan Ming quite solemnly. "By the way, there is an extremely important matter, which is about the Stygian Tower."

"What?"

"It's the Charm that killed us this time!"
