From the town, head south to the hinterland of Wonju.

When I came to Wonju, I realized that Wonju was different from other places.

Among the other state capitals, the hinterland city is the most prosperous place in the entire state capital, and those state capitals with top forces are stationed, and the largest city in the hinterland is also where those forces are rooted. Just like Cangzhou Moling City, Zhongzhou Louyuan City.

Along the way, the two stopped and stopped, but in the general direction, they headed towards the hinterland. According to the situation of other state capitals, if Yuanzhou really had an extremely grand influence many years ago, its location would most likely be the hinterland location of Yuanzhou. It's just that.......

When approaching the hinterland of Yuanzhou, you can still see a few slightly larger cities, but after going further, they are desolate again.

It's even more deserted than it was in Northside.

I can't even see the ruins of the ruins.

It's like this land is already deserted and has never been developed.

Xue Yun and Xiao Luo tried to find out the news all the way, and they both went to populated places as much as possible, staying for a day or two every day to get possible clues from the idle chat. When I was far away, I could still find some people from several towns and towns, and I knew more or less people who told stories with only a few words, but most of them were the same as the people in that town, and they only regarded them as stories to coax children, and I don't remember clearly, and the contradictions that I heard in many places and even heard in other places were very confusing.

It's just that after the two of them approached the hinterland of Yuanzhou, there was no longer such a story, and it seemed that the people who had lived in the hinterland of Yuanzhou for generations had not listened to it, or had long forgotten these long-term legends about Yuanzhou.

Left the town near the central part of Yuanzhou and continued to move towards the hinterland, there were few people on the road, let alone towns and news.

This night, the two stayed in the mountains and forests

Leaning against a tree surrounded by several people, there is a fire in front of him.

Xue Yun turned his head sideways and looked at Xiao Luo, who hadn't let go of his eyebrows for a long time, and finally couldn't help it:

"Xiao Luo. ”

Xiao Luo came back to his senses and turned his head to show her a smile: "Huh, tired, then you can sleep on me for a while." I've set up a formation nearby, and with me guarding it, it should be safe. ”

“...... And what about you? Won't you rest?"

"You're not tired, you can sleep. ”

Xue Yun sighed: "Xiao Luo, the more I go here, the more I can feel, you ...... The more ...... Repression. ”

Xiao Luo was silent for a moment, and sighed: "It seems that I am really a failure, it is rare that I have been so calm and reliable recently, and I have not been praised but have been suspected." ”

"Xiao Luo!"

Xiao Luo shrugged: "Okay, no kidding...... It's a little, but it's fine, don't worry. ”

Xue Yun took a deep breath and sat up straight, reaching out to grab his arm and look him in the eye: "You've never been like this." ”

“...... yes, I haven't done it before, and this is the first time, so ...... Inexperienced, poor performance. ”

Although Xiao Luo still used a relaxed tone and a gentle smile on his face, Xue Yuan's eyebrows became tighter and tighter.

Her hands were released from his arms and she went to gently clasp his cheeks:

"I know, maybe I'm not mature enough, maybe I'm not capable enough, I may ...... And it doesn't really do anything. But I want you to know that you are willing to accompany me on the journey, and I am willing to share it for you. Xiao Luo, whenever you need me, I want to stand by your side, instead of hiding behind you. I could, at least, let me try. ”

“...... ......"

"In the past, you protected me, you accompanied me, and you helped me. Now, at least, give me a chance?"

Xiao Luo was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed, reached out and took Xue Yun in front of him into his arms, gently pressed her head on his shoulder, took a deep breath, and smiled in her ear in a low voice: "My Xuan'er has also learned these sweet words." ”

Xue Yun struggled lightly in his arms, and then slowly stopped, obediently lying on his shoulder, pursed his lips, and said, "Then you...... Did you listen to it?"

"Alas...... If I didn't, I think I'd be beaten. Well...... So it's better to be a little more knowledgeable?"

Xue Yun raised his eyebrows, moved his palm to Xiao Luo's waist, and twisted it fiercely-

"Oh hey, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, I was wrong, I was wrong, I didn't dare, I didn't dare! I was good...... Obediently...... Let go and let go ......"

Xue Yun let go of his hand in Xiao Luo's somewhat "miserable" begging for mercy, wrapped his arms around his waist, hugged him tighter by two points, and was silent without saying anything more.

In fact, Xue Yun understood that Xiao Luo was originally a monk, and now he has been promoted to Jindan, and the strength of his body has far exceeded that of ordinary people, and ordinary gold and iron cannot be damaged in the slightest, not to mention the pinching force on Xue Yuan's hand.

His "pain" is mostly pretended.

Xue Yun knew that he was coaxing her, and she ...... It was indeed coaxed.

Xue Yun let go of his hand and nestled quietly in his arms, Xiao Luo patted her back one by one, with a smile on her face, and her eyes were filled with indissoluble tenderness.

"Okay, if you want to know, I'll tell you everything......"

After Xue Yun heard Xiao Luo sigh softly, a hand moved from his back to his chest, and gently pressed the slightly raised pendant under the collar on his chest: "Kunwu knife...... Does it have such a big impact on you?"

Xiao Luo was silent for a while, and in the end he still answered truthfully as he promised Xue Yuan: "I don't know, I'm not good either, are these feelings after stepping on Yuanzhou come from this Kunwu knife, or ...... Myself. ”

Xue Yun raised his head from his shoulder: "But you have never ...... Could it be anything...... Well...... The influence of bloodline? It has something to do with your background? Your family's bloodline has some connection with what is on the boundary of Yuanzhou?"

Xiao Luo chuckled: "You really care more about my life experience than myself." ”

"I'm just guessing. As I heard to you before, Kyushu Jiujing is closely related to the lineage of the nine families, and the power of the origin is a reward for the family bloodline that guards the Jiujing. It can be seen that there is indeed some power induction, which is based on the bloodline, if you really ...... Not surprising either. ”

Xiao Luo raised his eyebrows: "You don't think that I am also from the Jiujing Guardian Family, right?"

"I can't rule it out. Xue Yun supported his chest with both hands, raised his body slightly and looked at Xiao Luo: "If it's true...... It's really so coincidental, you really are, so ...... There is a secret place of nine wells in every state in Kyushu, and Yuanzhou must also have a special feeling after you set foot in Yuanzhou, and the closer you get to the hinterland of Yuanzhou, the more so, will it ...... Are you related to the family that guards Wonju Jiujing?Wonju hinterland...... Is it where the secret place of Nine Wells in Yuanzhou is located?"

Xiao Luo hooked the corners of his mouth: "I don't think so." ”

“...... Why?"

"One come...... Didn't you forget, didn't that Fang Ye in Nayan Zhou have been with you, and the four major families of Fengxue, Li and Tang are all the families that protect Jiujing in the era?"

“...... Be. ”

"Among them, the Tang family ......"

“...... Uh......"

When Xiao Luo mentioned it, Xue Yun suddenly remembered that she had guessed this very happily, and forgot to talk about the details for a while.

Fang Ye, the former Tang family, was rooted in Yuanzhou.

That is, the family that guards Yuanzhou Jiujing is the Tang family.

"The Tang family and the Xue family are now in Mianzhou, and the master still had Xue Shibo's help when he verified my life experience, if I am really the bloodline of the Tang family, how can I not find out?"

“......”

Indeed, it makes sense.

"Second...... You are the bloodline of the Xue family, now that you think about it, do you feel that it is wrong to stay in Mianzhou during those years?"

“...... No Sakura"

Next, Xiao Luo didn't do it again, and Xue Yun figured it out himself.

Now that she has the power of the Origin in her body, she really doesn't know if there will be any different induction when she steps on the boundary of Mianzhou now, but before she has the power of the Origin, she was born and raised in Mianzhou in Mianzhou, and she has also been to other state capitals in the middle, but it is true...... I have never felt that there is anything special about the boundary of Mianzhou.

Actually, this is also very easy to think about...... If every child of a family is above the state capital of his own family, he feels special...... This kind of thing should have been known for a long time......

“...... I was stupid. ”

Seeing Xue Yuan's slightly depressed appearance when she lowered her head, Xiao Luo raised her hand and rubbed her hair, her eyes were full of doting smiles: "My Yuan'er, if you care, it's messy, I ...... It's very comfortable. ”

Xue Yuan's face turned red, but it was not very conspicuous against the firelight in the night. She rolled her eyes, coughed lightly and pulled the topic back: "Then, what else is the reason for ruling out the possibility of the Jiujing Guardian Family?"

Xiao Luo leaned back and leaned against the trunk of the tree behind him, and his arm was still loosely holding Xue Yun, who was sitting up straight from his arms: "I don't know, except for this inexplicable feeling, I have no clue." But ......"

"Huh?"

Xiao Luo turned his head and squinted in a certain direction: "I wanted to be with you tomorrow morning, let's change directions tomorrow." ”

Xue Yun blinked: "...... We didn't have any special clues all the way...... So you are...... What's so special about it? In the other direction?"

“...... It's not the other direction, it's in the middle of the hinterland of Yuanzhou...... Neighborhood. There seems to be something. ”

Xue Yun became cautious: "What makes you particularly disgusted?"

“...... Antithesis. Xiao Luo's eyes were also a little confused: "Indeed, the closer I get to the central realm, the more I ...... I don't feel very comfortable. But today I suddenly ...... There seems to be something in this direction that comes to mind...... Worth...... Let's take a look. ”

"That ......"

“...... Okay, we'll get there tomorrow. ”

Xiao Luo turned his head, and Xue Yun looked at his eyes, which were exceptionally bright and warm under the light of the fire jumping not far away.

He couldn't help but lean over slowly, tapping his lips to the corners of her eyes.

Xue Yu didn't dodge, and slowly closed his eyes as his lips moved from the corners of his eyes to his lips......

This kiss is shallow, but lingering.

......

After resting for one night, Xue Yun and Xiao Luo set off at the moment of the rising sun on the second day, groping to continue the former school

After most of the day, Xiao Luo's previous unclear feeling finally became clear.

Same as then.

It's the same feeling as back then, in the Streamer Grass Mountains, in that deep valley.

If there is no accident, somewhere ahead, like a bamboo forest in the deep valley, there are fragments of Kunwu swords.

All the way to the present, Xue Yun knows the truth of Qingyun Jue, and knows the affairs of Jiujing and the nine guardian families in Kyushu, but he still doesn't know anything about Xiao Luo's Kunwu knife.

Following the clearer and clearer sense, the two found a mountain range, and found a cave along the "road" full of dead and rotting wood branches and overgrown with weeds and shrubs.

A cave that is extremely difficult to find from the outside, and is blocked under the layers of tree roots.

The two of them did not clear the roots and branches that blocked the entrance of the cave, but only slightly stretched out the stool that could allow one person to pass through, and did not continue, and got into it from there.

The Kunwu knife pendant on Xiao Luo's chest began to glow slightly, and Xue Yun followed Xiao Luo's side and took out the pearl lighting they had used when they fell into the cave in the Streamer Grass Mountains.

The two spacious caves inside and outside here are connected together, the outer one is slightly larger, and the inner one is even more spacious, which can accommodate at least dozens of appearances, and there are also some very old-looking stone furniture.

But at this time, Xue Yuan's attention was not on the furnishings of this cave.

Again, the phantom of the human form.

It was the two of them who had seen it in the bamboo forest of the deep valley, a man and a woman, two phantoms, appearing and dissipating somewhere in the dim cave, and then condensing again in another.

This time, the humanoid phantom figure that Xue Yuan saw was a little clearer and more condensed than the one in the bamboo forest and bamboo house, although he still couldn't see the face clearly, but he seemed to be faintly able to hear the sound of some words, but the voice was too light and blurry, and he could only hear the intonation, and he couldn't hear the content clearly.

At first there was only the shadow of the man in the cave, and then the shadow of the woman suddenly broke in. The two of them said something simply and unfamiliarly, and then fell silent and coexisted in this place.

It was clear that this place belonged to the man at first, but gradually, the women who had strayed in the past came from time to time, sometimes meeting men, sometimes curling up in a corner by themselves, looking like healing.

Later, the two gradually got acquainted, occasionally chatted together, and slowly developed to help each other heal.

Like two scarred beasts, they hid in this cave where there was a moment of peace and quiet, and they drew close to each other, warming each other, and licking Pets's wounds.

Xue Yun saw the two figures getting closer and closer, and heard the gradual communication between the two and the gradual fluctuating tone of emotions......

Perhaps, this is the place where the couple in the bamboo forest in the valley began.

She couldn't imagine what they were like outside the cave, and what happened to them, and after being hurt and hurting, she could only run to this cave where there was nothing and shrink in a corner.

Until they meet each other, until they accept each other, until they get used to each other.

The cave against the backdrop of illusory figures is like ...... With a little bit of warmth.

In the dim cave, the phantom that is constantly forming and dissipating is the last picture shown to the two people standing here at this moment-

The two men stood facing each other, each raising a hand and interlocking his fingers with the man opposite.

It's like a covenant, it's like an oath.

At the next moment when the opposite figure dissipated, the golden-red mist that lingered in the entire cave quickly flowed, melting into a golden-red light, and rushed towards Xiao Luo's chest pendant......
