When Xiao Yiran opened his eyes, he saw that it was not the full moon, but a round of sunrise rising from the east. Patrolling around, Xu Ying and Xiang Hu had long since disappeared, only Xiao Qing and Xiaoxi, who were four or five steps away from him, were still asleep. Seeing the two holding hands, Xiao Yiran walked over with a smile and shook Xiaoxi slightly. After Xiao Xi was woken up by Xiao Yiran, she instinctively wanted to raise her hand to rub her eyes, only to find that her right hand was being held by Xiao Qing. Xiaoxi, who was embarrassed, pumped hard, although his hand was withdrawn, it also woke up Xiao Qing. Xiao Qing, who woke up, was also a little ashamed, and hurriedly got up and hid in the distance, gently patting the dust on his body.

"Miss, did we sleep all night here?"

Xiaoxi asked Xiao Yiran while looking around.

"What do you say?"

"What about Xu Ying and Xiang Hu?"

"It's long gone."

Xiao Xixu thought of the way she and Xiao Qing were holding hands, not only was she seen by the young lady, but also Xu Ying and Xiang Hu saw it, and she bowed her head deeply and even more shyly.

"Let's hurry down the mountain, I'm afraid that Sun Ming will be in a hurry at the inn."

The three masters and servants did not linger any longer, and directly turned around and walked down the mountain along the same road. As the saying goes, it's easy to go up the mountain and hard to come down, and when I came up, Xiao Yiran was pulled and hugged by Xu Yinglian, and I didn't feel tired. I didn't expect it to take a lot of effort to go down the mountain. Only the knees of both legs could not be turned, and only half of the mountain road was walked.

The three of them kept walking and stopping, and only came to the outside of the Xuannu Niangniang Temple in the afternoon. Xiao Yiran walked into the temple again, knelt on the futon in front of the statue after offering incense, and did not pray anything, but guessed the origin of Xu Ying and Xiang Hu in his heart.

At that time, in the temple, the two of them bowed in front of themselves and bowed to the Xuannu Niangniang, and when they finished bowing, it was only a dozen breaths before and after, and it stands to reason that the two could not have gone out of the temple so quickly. However, after he walked out of the main hall, he really didn't see the two of them. Besides, if the two of them had already gone out, why did they appear from behind them after so long? Listening to the conversation between the two at that time, they were in a hurry to get to the top of the mountain. After not leaving the temple gate, I went back to the way down the mountain for a walk.

Xiao Yiran was puzzled.

and vaguely heard Xiang Hu say to Xu Ying in his sleep, what is "entrusted by people to be loyal to people", who is entrusted by whom, and what is it? Why did I never feel hungry after eating only two fruits? The wind at the top of the mountain was strong and cold, and after a good night's sleep, not only did I not feel cold, but I woke up feeling warm. Xiao Yiran knew very well that it was not because the sun was shining on his body. When he first arrived at the top of the mountain, because of the cold, Xu Ying held his hand, and the hot air flowing through his body through the palm of his hand clearly came from Xu Ying's body. But Xu Ying's words seem to say that he is not a person who practices martial arts, are they really immortal cultivators? Is there really an immortal cultivator in this world?

Just when Xiao Yiran was kneeling on the futon and pondering, he suddenly felt that a paragraph appeared in his mind. It is a six-four seven-character poem, and the poetry is very simple, like some kind of mantra. What Xiao Yiran can be sure of is that this is by no means what he sees from the book. It must have been instilled in herself last night when Xu Ying tapped her forehead with her right index finger after she fell asleep.

In this way, there is no doubt that Xu Ying and Xiang Hu are immortal cultivators. In the memory of Xiao Yiran's first life, he had read a lot of immortal cultivation texts, which contained a lot of methods for teaching hair formulas, and Xu Ying used the most common one.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yiran felt that the hairs on his body stood up. He didn't care to go into detail about the meaning of the mantra, so he hurriedly looked up at the tall statue of Xuannu Niangniang, and then bowed to the statue.

Xiao Yiran vaguely felt that if Xu Ying and Xiang Hu's words about "being entrusted by others to be loyal to people" were related to themselves, then they must have something to do with Xuannu Niangniang. Otherwise, I just met the two of them when I entered the mountain, and I never communicated, but outside the gate of the Xuannu Niangniang Temple, just when I was entangled by Ren Long, the two suddenly appeared. Not only did he relieve himself, but he also invited himself to climb the mountain together. Xiao Yiran is still a little strange, he trusted Xu Ying and the two of them for no reason at the beginning, and he agreed to come down without hesitation and climb the mountain with the two.

Xiao Yiran, who had no intention of climbing to the top of the mountain, didn't seem to have thought about his original plan when he answered Xu Ying at that time. Even, I have always been careful, and I should have thought that the top of the mountain in late spring must be cold, but I didn't even think about it at that time. This qiē was a little weird, which made Xiao Yiran kneel on the futon again and startled.

"Miss, Brother Sun Ming has found it."

"What?"

Xiao Yiran, who was in a daze, only heard Sun Ming's two words, and when he stood up and walked out of the hall, he saw Sun Ming, who was sweating profusely, standing in front of the hall.

"Sun Ming, why are you here?"

"The young lady did not return for a day and a night, and I was really relieved, so I handed over the carriage and the salute to the inn to take care of, and found them along the road."

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that yesterday on a whim, I suddenly wanted to climb the mountain, so I climbed to the top of the mountain and stayed overnight. Let's go back. ”

Walking out of the temple gate, Sun Ming saw that Xiao Qing and Xiaoxi were limping when they walked, and the young lady went to a qiē as usual, so he couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Did Miss really climb to the top of the mountain?"

"Naturally, I don't believe you look at the two of them."

"Then why is the young lady as usual?"

"I'm better than them."

Xiao Yiran said with a smile.

When he was about to arrive at the inn, Xiao Yiran told Xiaoxi alone:

"I'll find an opportunity to tell Xiao Qing in a while, and if I encounter Sister Xu Ying and Brother Xiang Hu, don't tell anyone else to know."

Xiaoxi didn't know why Miss wanted to hide this, but since Miss had told her, she still did it.

The four of them returned to the inn, and as soon as they finished lunch, Li Wang led Kou Zhun and his party to the inn.

"Senior brother, according to the time, isn't it two days before it arrives?"

"The affairs in the capital have been dealt with in advance, and I heard that Lord Xiao said that you have already left, so Senior Brother and I have come non-stop. Let's go, push the room down, and we'll go back to Habang now." ”

"Is there too much time?"

"It's just in time, it's before dark. Why didn't you see Lin Chen? ”

"The day before yesterday, we also arrived at Huayin at this time, Brother Lin Chen and Aunt Lin returned to their hearts like arrows, and they returned to Xiabang on the same day."

"Then why didn't the junior sister go to Xiabang with Lin Chen, what did she do in this inn?"

"Aren't you waiting here for Senior Brother? Besides, I also want to visit Huashan. ”

"Has my sister been to Huashan?"

"I've been there, and I just came back to eat, and my senior brother arrived."

Kou Zhun didn't ask Xiao Yiran when she climbed Huashan, and Xiao Yiran didn't say that she went there yesterday and stayed on the mountain for one night.
