"Master, you will have to take care of my two sons during this time......"

At the dinner table, there was a little more talk about the black lines on Zi Yan's body, and Zi Qiang was also extremely grateful to the Master of Retreat after knowing about the smelting flowers.

After lunch.

"Master, you haven't picked your herbs yet. On the way back to the South Courtyard, Ziyan took the lead in opening his mouth.

"Hmmm......"

"Then I'll accompany you, and after collecting the medicine, I might as well leave for the Royal Academy as soon as possible. ”

"Good. Retreat nodded.

"I'll go too. Seeing this, Qin Hua interjected.

Gui Yin looked at the Qin painting and remained silent.

"You just stay in the Martial Arts Mansion. Ziyan said coldly.

"Why? I can also help the master. ”

"It's up to you?" Ziyan crossed the master on the left and looked at Qin Hua with the half of his face covered with black lines: "It's better to save it." ”

Qin Hua's eyebrows wrinkled slightly: "Huh, who do you look down on?"

Zi Fei, who was standing on the right side of Ziyan, heard the conversation, and couldn't help but hold his forehead: "Forget it, brother, let Qin Hua go, isn't he also very powerful, maybe he can help." ”

"What if you get entangled by the brown-haired monkey in the Magic Valley, the master will feel distressed, right, master. Ziyan clasped his hands in front of his chest and said sneeringly.

The Master of Recluse did not speak.

"But it's also an opportunity to practice, right? Zifei pulled the corner of Ziyan's clothes.

"Aang. Ziyan responded.

......

In the end, he still took the Qin painting, and the three of them went to the Magic Valley together.

The distance between the Magic Valley and the town is almost half a day's journey with a fast horse, and it basically takes four or five days to go back and forth plus the time to collect medicine, so they are all prepared for a long time before setting off.

After the preparation, the three of them set off, because the Magic Valley is sinister, and there will be basically no caravans passing by, so originally there was only a mountain road into the Magic Valley, but for convenience, Wu Zong still specially opened a road that leads directly to the edge of the Magic Valley, and the three of them rode a good wild beast hybrid horse, and in less than half a day, they arrived at the place closest to the Magic Valley on the trade road, where a post station was specially set up.

"Young Master, Master. "The old man who manages the inn is also respectful when he sees a familiar face.

"Uncle Yan, why is it snowing so much, you are still staying here. Ziyan politely called the old man Uncle Yan.

"Young master, this post station is my home, where else can I go, and the Wuzong Mansion also sent someone to repair the house, and the materials have also been sent by special people, and it doesn't matter if it's cold. ”

"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Yan, we are still the same when we came this time, so this horse will be taught to you to take care of it for the time being. ”

"Young master, on such a cold day, you still have to go up the mountain?"

"Well, there are some herbs to pick. Ziyan took off his light robe and climbed up to the second floor with ease.

After a while, I took a few sets of equipment down.

I saw that although the equipment had a lot of scratches, it was still very clean and obviously well maintained.

Ziyan skillfully put on his boots and put on a well-made cloak, and Qin Hua followed suit, and soon the three of them were ready to go.

"I'll open the way ahead, and you follow. Ziyan said coldly, opened the door, and the snow outside the door was dancing in the wind.

Ziyan slightly blocked his head with his hand, and went on the road against the wind, the mountain road was full of thorns because no one walked, and because the snow covered the ground, the potholes were difficult to see, so he could only use his sword to open the way in front, fortunately, Ziyan was already familiar with the mountains, although there was more snow than before, but he still maintained a good travel speed.

In the middle of the night, Qin Hua, who walked to the numb body, suddenly bumped into Ziyan who stopped in front of him:

"What's wrong?"

"Here we are. Ziyan took the torch and leaned forward, and by the light of the fire, he could see that there was a small black cave in the snowdrift not far away.

"That's where we usually stay. Ziyan explained, walking towards the cave.

When he came to the mouth of the cave, Qin Hua wondered, "Why is this cave so small?"

Ziyan didn't answer, handed the torch to Qin Hua, let him hold it, and then took a small shovel to dig at the snow under the small cave, and after a while, a complete cave mouth was revealed.

Entering the cave, through the light of the fire, you can see that there are torches hanging on the wall next to it every few meters, and use the existing torches to light a few, and then Ziyan walks into the deeper darkness of the cave and drags out a wooden fence.

"What is this?"

"To prevent the beast from coming in. Ziyan dragged the fence out of the cave and stopped it horizontally outside the hole, and the fence blocked most of the cave, leaving a gap about three centimeters high on it.

Ziyan looked at the heavy snow flying outside the cave: "With such a big snow, it is estimated that a natural bunker will be formed in a while, so there is no need to find a bunker to put outside the cave." Then he took down the torches on the wall of the cave and stepped on them vigorously, because these torches were specially made, even if the wind was difficult to extinguish, and after inserting the extinguished torches back, Ziyan led the team to the depths of the cave.

The cave is not straight, after walking five or six meters, then turn a bend of about 60 degrees, through the long cave of more than ten meters, the space suddenly opens up, Ziyan uses the torch in his hand to light the torches on the surrounding walls, the space gradually brightens, Qin Hua looked around, and found that this is like a large room———— wooden table, Dan furnace, stone bed made of animal skins as a mat, piled up with special firewood, some medicinal herbs and some weapons hanging on the wall.

And on the stone wall where the Dan furnace was located, Qin Hua also found a hole the size of a head, but it was so black that he couldn't see anything clearly.

"What is this?" asked Qin Hua, pointing.

"Vents. Gui Yin replied.

"Oh......"

"We'll spend the night here tonight. Ziyan pointed to a man-made flattened stone, which was covered with the fur of an unknown animal.

Qin Hua looked at it, a little embarrassed, it is more than enough to sleep two people on this stone, and it is not impossible to sleep three people, but it will definitely be crowded.

"That's it, hurry up and rest, and get up early tomorrow to collect medicine. Ziyan said coldly.

Qin Hua gritted his teeth when he heard this, although he often slept in the wild when he led the dart team, but because it was not so cold at that time, he always brought a cushion to roll himself up and sleep in the open air, because Qin Hua didn't like to crowd with others.

How embarrassing it will be.

Thinking so, Qin Hua took off his cloak, sat down on the warm fur, and then took off his boots as well, and looked at Ziyan, who was piling up special firewood to make a fire.

"Is there a quilt? Qin Huapan sat on the stone bed, his body fell back slightly, and he touched the fur with his hand, if he touched the stone, it would definitely be very cold, but the fur was so big that it covered the entire stone bed, and if he couldn't touch the stone, he couldn't feel the cool air at all, and it was even very warm and comfortable.

"No, but I'll make a fire, and the match will warm up for a long time after it is burned into charcoal, and it will be no problem until tomorrow morning. Ziyan picked up the flint and lit the fire after a few beatings.

Qin Hua looked at the master again boredly, and found that the master was sitting by the Dan furnace meditating, and couldn't help but wonder: "Master, it's so late, what are you still meditating?" ”

"I don't have to sleep, I meditate instead. The Master of Retreat replied with his eyes closed.

"Really fake......" Qin Hua was a little surprised, and it was also ...... The master lives in the alchemy pharmacy at night, but the alchemy does not even have a bed, and Qin Hua thought that the master was sleeping on the floor like Ziyan.

Ziyan silently lit another match, and then walked out with a torch.

"Where are you going?" asked Qin Hua curiously.

"Sleep yours. Ziyan replied coldly, holding a short sword in his hand as he passed by the wall where the weapon was hung.

"Hush. Qin Hua pouted, although he had been walking for a long time, but now he was not very sleepy, Qin Hua, who was quite curious, thought about it, put on his boots again, and took the long knife he had placed next to the bed and followed.

Qin Hua also drew a torch from the wall and walked through the long cave, not half of the walk, the air temperature had dropped below freezing, and Qin Hua, who was not wearing a thick cloak, couldn't help but tremble even if he had the awakening power of Tianji to protect his body.

"The cold on this mountain is much heavier than the town...... Qin Hua thought so, and came to the entrance of the cave with a torch, only to see that the fence at the entrance of the cave had been covered with a layer of snow, leaving only a little gap in the top of the cave for people to pass through, and Ziyan was no longer in sight, so he should have penetrated through that little gap.

"Hiss——, this wind is so cold...... Qin Hua rubbed his arms with his hands in front of his chest, then jumped up, tapped the wall with his toes, and pierced through the small hole lightly with a ghostly body, without even leaving a trace, this ghostly body is the legendary martial arts of the Morey family, called Jibu, only the owner of the blood particles cultivates, at the cost of burning blood particles, so that the body moves as fast as a ghost, if you burn a large number of blood particles, it can also have the effect of strengthening itself, but at the same time, it will also produce some physical changes, such as the pupils of the eyes turning red.

Outside the cave, Qin Hua did not see Ziyan, so he took advantage of the lightness of the pole step to leap on the thin branches at the top of the tree.

"Strange, what about people......" Qin Hua jumped on the branches of the tree and turned around in the vicinity but still didn't see Zi Yanren, just wanted to go back, but through the branches and leaves, he found that there seemed to be a black shadow on the ground shuttling in the woods, but the movement was very small, Qin Hua wondered if he was wrong, so he jumped a few times and prepared to go back to the cave, but there were a few black shadows below.

"Senior brother, is that you?" Chin Hua shouted as he jumped on the top of the tree, but received no answer.

Not a senior brother...... Chin Hua pondered as he leaped over the tops of the trees.

First of all, there is more than one black shadow, although the senior brother is very good, but as far as Qin Hua's understanding of Zi Yan is concerned, it is impossible for Zi Yan to have only such a little movement if he shuttles through this forest, Zi Yan is only strong in the extreme use of weapons when fighting, and the experience of fighting with the old way, in other words, Zi Yan does not have this kind of comprehensive physical improvement after awakening, no matter what martial arts he cultivates, it is impossible to achieve the level of silence of those black shadow geese.

But if it's not Ziyan, who will it be......

Qin Hua saw that he was a little closer to the cave, but these black shadows shuttling in the forest under him did not get rid of them, so he changed directions, planning to get rid of the black shadows and return to the cave first.

Roaring ——, suddenly roared with the cold wind, Qin Hua was startled, almost fell from the branch, rushed to the source of the sound, and saw several black shadows fighting at a glance, Qin Hua got closer, looked carefully, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart......

......

In the forest, a young man spit blood and got up from the ground, stumbled a few times, ran to the depths of the forest, and followed by a few black shadows, the young man held his left hand full of blood, running in the forest, but the ground was full of thorns, the young man was seriously injured again, and was gradually approached by the black shadow, the young man gritted his teeth, and was thinking about how to escape, suddenly stepped on the air, and the young man fell violently on the thorny ground covered by snow.

"Bastard, how is this a pit!" Ziyan gritted his teeth and raised his head, at this moment his arm had been pierced by the thorns on the ground with a few bloody holes, fortunately, he used his hand to protect his head when he fell, otherwise, it would be his head that was injured.

But it was too late for Ziyan to rejoice, the black shadow behind him was not far from the ion flame, Ziyan looked back at the black shadow, the left face full of black lines was extremely hideous because of the blood, only to see Ziyan see the right time, and quickly grabbed the foot and neck of the black shadow who was the first to his side, and threw it violently, the black shadow couldn't react, and the whole body smashed on the stone next to him, splattering bloody flesh.

Then other black shadows also arrived one after another, Ziyan jumped up from the pit, intending to continue to escape, a black shadow behind him flew towards Ziyan, Ziyan sensed the danger behind him, and turned around after landing to smash it with a punch, but unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, a hairy hand was called on Ziyan's face, and Ziyan was slapped so that the whole person flew out, and the other black shadows also rushed up mercilessly when they saw this.

Puff - the knife light slashed, a black shadow was in a different place, and the other black shadows were also startled, and looked at it, only to see a girl with a long knife looking at them with extremely strange blood-red eyes, and the black shadow of the flying flame also looked at the girl, and the girl also saw the appearance of the black shadow at this time, it was a group of creatures covered with black hair, with an adult-like tall ape, the black haired ape that slapped the black flame was the largest, and it should be the head of this group of black hairy apes.

"Black-haired monkeys, I thought they were terrible beasts. The girl looked at the apes that were eyeing her, and said coldly with her canine teeth longer than normal.
