"Thank you old man, I understand your guidance, tomorrow morning, I will go up the mountain alone!"

After Guan Tongshu heard this, she finally understood in her heart, and immediately made a decision, the old man decided to say this, but he didn't bother Guan Tongshu, and Guan Tongshu was also interested in no longer bothering the old man.

——

The second morning before dawn, the sun had just shot the first light through the clouds, Guan Tongshu lifted the quilt, turned over and got out of bed and walked outside, the sky was still dark, the temperature in the mountains was still very low at this time, a little cold Guan Tongshu couldn't take care of so much at this time, and the soldiers below were still asleep at this time.

Guan Tongshu only left a handwritten letter for his subordinates, sorted out his things, and took Qin Zhao's sword with him, turned around and plunged into the night, just as she was about to leave, she suddenly heard the old lady's voice again.

"You must encounter a lot of dangers along the way, you must protect yourself, and you must reach the top of the mountain before noon, noon is when this blood lotus is in full bloom, the blooming time is only two hours, you must boil it into a decoction within three hours after picking the blood lotus, otherwise everything will be in vain."

Guan Tongshu was startled, and when she heard the old lady's voice, she turned around, but she didn't know when, the old lady had already gotten up at this time, and she was dressed neatly, with a basin in her hand at this time, and her own clothes, as if she was going to the river to do laundry, and explained to Guan Tongshu.

After hearing this, Guan Tongshu knelt down with a thud, and kowtowed three times to the old lady in front of her, if Qin Zhao could successfully wake up this time, then the old lady's credit would be indispensable.

"Thank you for the old man's guidance, I know that the old man lives in seclusion in the mountains, and he doesn't care about fame and fortune, but this time the old man has a lot of help to me, I can successfully pick this step, and the blood lotus must thank the old man well!"

The old woman just turned around and left with an expressionless face, Guan Tongshu didn't dare to delay any longer at this time, this mountain is so high, and this mountain road is tortuous, she is worried that her physical condition is not very good, and she can't delay time, so she set off a little earlier.

After Guan Tongshu set off, the old man did stop suddenly, looked back at Guan Tongshu, and her heart was full of sighs, decades ago she also wanted to go up the mountain to pick this blood lotus for her seriously ill son, but her son didn't wait for him to bring the blood lotus back, it was already a life.

Since then, she and her husband have come to this mountain to live in seclusion, and her husband has passed away a few years ago, and she continues to guard this mountain alone, showing the way to everyone who comes to pick blood lotus.

It's just that these are the past things that she keeps in her heart, and her son can't wake up again, I just hope that the woman with a sincere face in front of her has reached a high position like the queen, but she can still set foot on this steep mountain road despite all the hardships and dangers, just to treat her beloved man, Guan Tongshu, who can successfully find this blood lotus, the old lady let out a long sigh, and went all the way to the river to wash clothes with the clothes in her arms. 666 Literature Network

Guan Tongshu didn't dare to delay for a moment, all she had in her hand was this sword.

Guan Tongshu is almost walking in the night, at this time is still hovering between light and no, the sun is slowly rising, and at this time the moon is still on the other side of the sky with the sun and the moon, probably this is the truth, Guan Tongshu faintly came from a burst of pain on her feet, so that she had to stop and rest temporarily, but when she thought that Qin Zhao was still waiting for her, her heart couldn't stop.

When the sky gradually brightened, Guan Tongshu was finally standing at the foot of the mountain at this time, at the foot of the mountain, it had been stretching for a long distance, Guan Tongshu looked at a small road here, it is estimated that there are too many people picking blood lotus, and a small road has already been walked out here.

Guan Tongshu no longer hesitated, looked up and saw that the top of the mountain, this mountain looked towering, she didn't know when she would be able to climb to the top of this mountain, Guan Tongshu did not doubt him, bent down and tied the rope on her shoes firmly, she knew that there were many beasts in this mountain, if she was lucky, she would be able to successfully bring the blood lotus back, if it was unfortunate, their family of four would not be able to reunite again.

"Heaven bless, I Guan Tongshu was originally just an ordinary woman, because she would look shining by Qin Zhao's side, and now she is desperate for all hardships and dangers, just to pick this blood lotus, please Bodhisattva bless me to bring the blood lotus back smoothly, let Qin Zhao drink the decoction made of the blood lotus, and wake up as soon as possible, I am willing to exchange my life."

Guan Tongshu closed her eyes and prayed silently, and then continued to hurry, the sky was already bright, and the mountains had become bright. Listening to the chirping of frogs in the woods, and hearing a sparse sound in the distance, maybe some small animal was passing by in the grass, Guan Tongshu was slightly startled in her heart, but she still forcibly kept herself calm.

Guan Tongshu walked forward little by little along this mountain road, and finally saw a stream surrounding, Guan Tongshu was extremely tired, sat next to the stream and took a sip of water to his mouth, the whole person felt a lot more comfortable, and when he looked up, the sun had climbed into the air at this time, and the whole mountain was bright.

Guan Tongshu knew in her heart that today was another sunny and spicy day, but at this time, Guan Tongshu was also slightly happy to listen to Taiyi and the old lady's statement, all saying that the more sunshine this day, the better this blood lotus blooms, the better she blooms, the longer she can keep it, although the weather is hot at this time, but Guan Tongshu hopes that the sun will be more vicious.

Guan Tongshu wiped the sweat on her body and continued to move forward step by step, not long after leaving, Guan Tongshu was instantly stunned in place at this time, and at the same time, she was also stunned in place, as well as the snake facing her, Guan Tongshu's whole person froze in place.

She has always had a lively personality, and when she was a child, she also followed her father to the mountains to hunt, even if she saw a fierce beast in the weekday, she was not afraid, and ran away on a horse, but only when she saw a snake, she was always frightened every time to stand in place.

Guan Tongshu was so frightened at this time that she subconsciously took half a step back, and the snake noticed Guan Tongshu's actions, and also moved forward a little, Guan Tongshu suddenly clenched her hands tightly into fists, and cold sweat flowed down from her forehead, this place is relatively cool, and it is also relatively humid, there are many plants next to it, and it is very normal for snakes to be infested.

It's just that for Guan Tongshu, as long as she sees the snake, it is like the end of the world, Guan Tongshu retreats step by step, this snake doesn't know whether she is afraid or interested in Guan Tongshu at this time, Guan Tongshu takes a step back, it climbs forward, opens its mouth and spits a letter at Guan Tongshu, Guan Tongshu's hand holding the sword at this time can't help but tremble.
