South from the mountain, bamboo courtyard.

Xiao Nan helped his mother to lie down and served with tea. He looked at the weak mother, and his heart tingled.

Lan Xi looked at his red and swollen eyes and a little bloodshot on his forehead, and tried to squeeze out a smile. The smile was as beautiful as ever, but the pale cheeks couldn't hide.

"Silly boy, my mother is fine. ”

She couldn't help but comfort, and as she spoke, she raised her arm and moved twice, as if she was afraid that he would not believe him.

"Anan, you go to the stove in the courtyard and bring the medicine basket. ”

Xiao Nan bit her lip and nodded, only to feel that her mother was deliberately looking for something to divert her attention. He took the medicine basket as he said.

This is an old medicine basket, with spots on the gray bamboo strips. The first time he saw it, because it wasn't his own belongings.

"Look, this is the pet egg that my mother bought from the Tai'an Country caravan the day before yesterday. Lan Xi fumbled for a moment and pulled out a palm-sized bird's egg.

"Listening to the merchant from Tai'an, this is a young egg. As long as you hatch for a few days, you can conjure a cute and mischievous little chick. Here's it, like it?"

"Mother's ...... Anan likes it all. Xiao Nan took it with a trembling palm, becoming more and more sad. He gently stroked the egg with his small hand, and then held it tightly, as if he was afraid of losing it.

Lan Xi looked at his love for a while, felt a little at ease, and sighed secretly-

"Anan, my mother can't raise you as an adult. If it's a mother's ...... If it's gone, let it be by your side instead of your mother. I hope you must be strong...... Be strong and stay alive. Mother, I'm sorry for you......"

However, Xiao Nan's eyes glanced at the medicine basket, but suddenly it was as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his heart became cold.

He looked coldly at the half-cut shirt exposed at the edge of the medicine basket, and thousands of thoughts passed through his mind, stringing together one by one along with the pattern of the clothes.

"Mother, whose medicine basket is this?" he asked abruptly.

"Medicine...... Basket?" Lan Xi was confused for a moment, and replied casually, "This is the medicine basket of Wang Xian of the medicine collection team, what's wrong?"

"Nothing. Mother, in fact, there is one thing that the child has always wanted to tell you, but he has not found the right opportunity. Xiao Nan's eyes became colder and colder, and an invisible cold aura soared into the sky.

The exposed part of the half-section of the shirt is painted with a thumb-sized short sword, which is exactly the same as the corner of the clothes of the ancestor of the Xiao family who holds the sword in the main hall painting.

How could he not recognize that this was his father Xiao Jiu's clothes!

No wonder my mother suddenly fell terminally ill, if it wasn't for some kind of lethal stimulus, how could the oil run out overnight!

Wang Long, the deputy commander of the Eagle Guard, held himself hostage, fought for treasures, and hunted down Xiao Jiu!

Wang Gu, the son of Wang Qian, the commander of the hunting team, has made many provocations with bad intentions!

In the name of peddling pet eggs, Wang Xian of the medicine collection team deliberately brought back Xiao Jiu's clothes to test Lanxi's reaction!

I thought everything was a coincidence! Now it seems that how can it be just a coincidence!

Wang's ...... Is it you? Xiao Jiu is missing, Lan Xi is seriously ill, and you are the culprit of everything?

When he fell into the underground cave, he comprehended the true meaning of the bear shape and made a breakthrough, and at this time he vaguely understood the truth of the matter, and his mood was agitated and full of killing intent.

Under the internal and external stimulation, I immediately felt that there was a nameless power awakening, wandering all over the body. The muscles, bones, skin, flesh, blood and organs, as if they have been tempered, shine brightly.

This is the manifestation of quenching a layer of the body, washing the muscles and cutting the marrow.

He finally stepped into the true threshold of the quenching realm.

At this moment, he was faintly aware and looked coldly at the west wall of the house. The walls are made of wide bamboo, which is airtight and airtight, enough to shelter from the wind and rain.

"Mother, in fact, Anan should have told you a long time ago, but it's a pity ......" Xiao Nan raised his head and sighed, as if he wanted to turn back time and return to sadness.

"Wudao enlightenment evaluation, I, Xiao Nan, am a one-star qualification, and I am a waste of practice. But who knows, I have a river clan in the south of the tribe, and I was only able to drop blood to refine Gu at the age of twelve. But I'm Xiao Nan...... Hehe, come out, fish intestines!"

He paced twice, suddenly facing the west wall of the house, and opened his mouth to scream.

An imperceptible transparent silk shot out abruptly, penetrating the narrow gap between the two bamboo slabs and passing through the wall.

"Ah...... You, how could you ......" An exclamation suddenly sounded from behind the wall, full of astonishment, fear, and remorse!

The exclamation was cut off halfway, and it stopped abruptly as if it had been choked by the neck.

"Spying on my Xiao family, forcing my parents! Ill-intentioned, his crime should be punished!" Xiao Nan snorted coldly, not even having the slightest idea of going out to see who it was.

Wang Xian, the medicine collection team, tried to test with his clothes, and then followed and monitored. Whether it is friend or foe, it is already clear.

He turned to face the stunned Lan Xi, squeezed out a smile, and sighed: "Mother, with Anan's talent, what worries and fears in the future? As long as his father is still alive, Anan will definitely be able to find him, what are you...... Why bother!"

Lan Xi looked at the scene in front of her, with her intelligence, how could she not think of the ins and outs. She burst into laughter, laughter from the bottom of her heart.

Anan...... My family Anan, sure enough, has a chance! Natal Spirit Gu, fish intestine supernatural power. Mother...... Finally relieved!"

The clothes remained, and the figures were gone. There is no return, and there is no life. This laughter came too late!

Although the heart is alive, death follows it.

......

"Tiezhu, my mother will ask you. ”

At nightfall, Xiao Nan invited Tiezhu to his home and solemnly instructed.

"If I go, it will be as short as a few days, as long as half a month, and whether it goes well or not, I will return in fifteen days......!

"Xiao Nanzi, don't worry! With a bite of food for Tiezhu, I will definitely not be hungry for your mother!" Tiezhu patted his chest and assured loudly.

Xiao Nan glanced back, nodded heavily, turned around and walked into the underground wine cellar, followed the entrance of the secret room, and dived into the underground cave.

He stretched out his little hand and stroked the strange spirit grass on the stone carving that seemed to be dancing with teeth and claws, hissing and roaring, his eyes were unwavering, and the words of Meng Yao, the girl in white, appeared in his mind.

"Ghost Spirit Grass...... A kind of spiritual grass cultivated by that person, it is rumored to come from the netherworld, which can give birth to human flesh and bones, seize the heavens and the earth, and prolong people's lives. ”

He fixed on the strange spirit grass carved in the stone, and muttered in his mouth.

"If I expected it to be true...... You...... It's the rumored ghost spirit grass!"

His thin body straightened, and without hesitation, he walked deeper into the cavern.

"The medical immortals are tied, and the medicine stones are powerless...... This is a mother's ...... Last chance. ”

As for the treasure map in Meng Yao's hand, it may point to other places in Nanli Mountain. But Xiao Nan believes that the two must have the same end.

Ghost Grass ...... Treasure...... It must be at the end of this cave, at the end of this ancient people's worship!

The underground river cave meanders and leads deeper underground. Every 100 paces, you can see the stone murals left by the mysterious people, recording the grand pilgrimage and sacrifice activities.

Faintly, the sound of the flow of the dark river can be heard, and the cave is almost attached to the underground river, and even used to be a branch of the underground river, which later dried up and became the current underground cave.

Because he didn't know the length of the cave, Xiao Nan was extremely cautious along the way, and in order to save the amount of flint, he spent most of his time in the dark.
