Chapter 168: Returning Home (3)
According to the records on the paintings of the mountains and rivers of the country, Tianshui Lake is located in the southern part of Xinjiang, deep in the mountains, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find it.
The group rode in the same carriage, and several men took turns driving. Along the way, Han Xi took good care of Han Xiao, for fear that she would be a little uncomfortable. Han Xiao was both moved and guilty in her heart, and wanted to tell Hanxi about the agreement between herself and Situ Xi several times. But when the words came to his lips, he could not speak.
On this day, we traveled to a small town called "Forget Creek" on the border of southern Xinjiang. After a long journey, the group decided to take a break in the town. Hanxi and Hanxiao naturally live together, and it is rare for them to be so alone in the past few days, so Hanxiao decided to remind Hanxi a little.
"Xi'er ......" watched Han Xi busy for herself, serving tea and pouring water, and she settled on the bed and reclined comfortably. Han Xiao's heart softened and beckoned her to come to her side.
When Han Xi heard the call, he walked to Han Xiao's side, folded the brocade quilt on the bed again, and put it behind Han Xiao, so that she could lean more comfortably, and then asked, "What did my sister tell me about?" ”
Han Xiao patted the position beside her with her hand and said, "You also take a break, don't always work so hard for me." These days when the carriage sits down, I see that you are also much haggard. ”
"I'm not tired!" Hanxi sat beside her sister with a grin, her head resting on her legs, and said, "For my sister and my dear nephew, how can you be tired?" ”
"You, you're such a big person, you still talk and act like a child!" Han Xiao also smiled, gently touching Han Xi's hair. She thought for a moment and asked, "Xi'er, you say, why didn't Situ Xi take the mountain and river painting to find the entrance of the Divine Palace?" ”
Han Xi didn't think about it, and immediately replied: "Didn't Master say that maybe Situ Xi didn't know the secrets in the paintings of the mountains and rivers of the country at all, so naturally he wouldn't look for them." ”
"I always feel that something is wrong...... Han Xiao said her thoughts, "Think about it, what is there really to hide from him from a shrewd and cunning person like him?" If he didn't know the secret of Guopo's mountain and river paintings, and only thought that this was a map that simply indicated the location of Tianshui Lake, why did Situ Xi go to great lengths to divide the mountains and rivers paintings into two halves and hide them so carefully? ”
After listening to Han Xiao's words, Han Xi was silent for a moment, then sat up, looked at Han Xiao seriously, and nodded: "What my sister said makes sense, this matter is very strange!" Before, I just thought that he didn't want anyone to find Tianshui Lake. Now it seems that Situ Xi mostly knows the mystery in the painting! What he is really afraid of being found out is the secret hidden in the painting. ”
Han Xiao saw that Han Xi was gradually alert, so he guided her step by step: "We stole the mountain and river paintings that he and Situ Bi had worked so hard to hide, and I don't know if they had noticed it at this time?" Since this painting is very important to Situ Xi, I don't know how long I can fool the half of the fake painting I transferred. ”
Han Xi continued her words and analyzed: "If he finds out that the current painting is fake, with Situ Xi's many years of experience in living in Tianshui Lake, it is very easy for him to come to Tianshui Lake to pursue us!" We must race against time to reach Tianshui Lake and enter the shrine before he finds out. ”
Han Xiao wanted to remind Han Xi that Situ Xi's goal of coming to Tianshui Lake was achieved, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Now that they had figured out this layer, they only rested in Lixi Town for two days, prepared enough dry food and water, and continued to march towards Tianshui Lake.
When we finally arrived at the deep mountain indicated in the painting of the mountains and rivers of the country, the carriage could no longer enter, so we had to walk on foot. Because Han Xiao was pregnant, it was really inconvenient to cross the mountains and mountains, so Han Xi excused herself that her leg injury had recurred and it was inconvenient to walk, so she stayed in the carriage for the time being, waiting for them to explore the road first.
The mountain is covered with a light blue smoke, and it looks very beautiful. But Tang Buxin had just stepped into the mountain, so he frowned and said vigilantly: "Don't come forward for the time being, this light smoke should be miasma and poisonous." ”
"Huh?" Han Xi was taken aback, looking at such a misty smoke, it turned out to be a poisonous miasma. However, she still held her breath and didn't dare to gasp when Tang Bu's words just fell. The Tang family has always studied medicine and poison a lot, and since Tang is not surprised to say that it is poisonous, there must be no mistake.
Others immediately held their breath to protect themselves. Tang Bu didn't seem to be afraid of these poisonous miasma, and walked slowly into the light smoke, calmly and calmly as if he was walking in his own backyard. Hanxi was worried about him, and his heart was raised to the center of his throat!
I saw Tang Buxing looking around in the smoke, sometimes leaning over to play with the weeds on the ground. After walking dozens of steps, he suddenly stopped, squatted down, picked a weed, and observed it carefully. Hanxi watched as he put the weed in his mouth and tasted it, and then picked a lot of it neatly.
Tang Buxin walked back step by step, holding the freshly picked herbs in his hands, and when he walked, the smoke on his side seemed to disperse automatically. He has a green robe and a jade belt, and his face is like a crown of jade, and he is like a god descending to earth in a trance.
He shook the herb in his hand towards Han Xi, showed a bright smile like a child's invitation, and said, "It's done!" ”
Tang Bujing distributed the herbs to everyone and explained: "Although this miasma is not very toxic, if it is inhaled too much, it will paralyze people's muscles and veins, and gradually lose consciousness. These herbs grow very vigorously in the miasma, and I just saw some birds and beasts in the mountains also eating this herb. I picked some and tasted them, and sure enough, I found that this herb has the effect of relieving the poison of miasma! ”
The rest of the people took some herbs one after another according to Tang Bu's words. Tang Buyi took out a few tips from his luggage again, and said: "There are inevitably some poisonous snakes and poisonous insects in the mountains, and there is a deworming and detoxifying powder configured by my second sister Tang Huaning in the bag, which everyone wears with them, and it is also good for self-defense." ”
Fu Shu tied the bag to his Luo Shen jade flute, and said: "Thanks to not being surprised to walk with us, we have solved a lot of problems and dangers. Now it seems that the eight achievements of Tianshui Lake are hidden in this deep mountain. It is surrounded by mountains, and there is also a miasma as a barrier, forming a natural barrier, which is indeed difficult to find the trace of the Nine Heavens Divine Palace. ”
"Little junior sister, your ancestors really know how to use the laws of nature!" Hua Heng was playing with the bag that Tang Bujing had just given, tossing it around in his hand, and laughing and joking.
Han Xi glanced at Hua Heng and said unceremoniously: "Senior brother, you better hurry up and tie up the bag!" If you accidentally throw away the bag and are taken away by a wild beast, won't you be afraid of being bitten by poisonous insects and ruining your most cherished skin? ”
Hua Heng was so blocked by her words that she couldn't answer for a while, and then shook her head again and again, but she said to Tang Bu: "Don't be surprised, look, the little junior sister is becoming more and more sharp!" If you don't discipline her, I'm afraid you won't be able to be a family in the future! ”
Tang Bu was shocked and just smiled, glanced at Han Xi dotingly, and said, "Where can I manage Xi'er, as long as she doesn't abandon me, it's very good, where can I expect to be in charge?" ”R1152
