I don't know how far I ran, I don't know how long I ran, but the roar of the huge waterfall in the distance was clearly heard in my ears.

Wen Lan thought that it was time to make a detour east along the shores of Luoying Lake, so she hurried to the sound of the waterfall.

It was getting dark, and the woods were already dark, and it was difficult to distinguish between morning and dusk.

The trees in the forest were getting denser and the road was becoming less and less accessible, so Wen Lan had to slow down to avoid the branches along the road.

After walking for a while, the eyes suddenly opened up, and the waterfall that splashed like a mirror suddenly came into view.

Luoying Lake ...... Everything is still the same, nothing has changed.

Everything in the world is like two extremes. One end is ever-changing, the other end is eternal, and the unchanged end will always be silent and witness the changing scenes, watching it fade away and become history.

On the empty shore of Luoying Lake, Wen Lan took a breath. Only then did he feel that the soles of his feet were a little weak, and when he looked closely, he didn't know when a branch cut a hole in his calf.

After all, he is a seventy-year-old person, and no matter how strong he is in front of everyone, it is difficult to support him for too long. Wen Lan slowly dismounted on the horse's back, he wanted to rest for a while.

Suddenly, he vaguely saw a courtyard in the distance, although it was not big, but the green tiles and white walls were very elegant.

As...... Go ask for a cup of tea.

Wen Lan tore off the man. Leather mask, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and straightened his clothes, trying his best to look kind.

He led the horse to the front of the courtyard, and saw that although the door of the house was small, there were two golden auspicious cloud lanterns hanging in front of the door, which looked very festive.

He buckled the door of the courtyard, but after a moment, there was a "squeak", and a little boy poked his head out of it, saw Wen Lan, and asked, "Dare to ask which one is Mr.?" ”

"My surname is Yang, passing by here, and I want to take the liberty of begging for a cup of tea."

"Oh, sir, please come in, I'll go inform my master."

Wen Lan caught a glimpse of a tethered post in front of the courtyard gate, and thought that if she would always feel at ease if she left her mount outside the courtyard, she laughed and said, "My horse has also traveled a lot, I wonder if I can find some fodder for it...... Oh, I've got some broken silver here...... "As he spoke, he pulled it into his bosom.

The little boy smiled: "It's just some forage, it's not worth it, it's not worth it, the west end of the yard is the stable, I'll take it for my husband first and then inform the master, and please stay here for a while." ”

Wen Lan saw that the child's words and deeds were quite polite, and secretly thought that although the house where the master lived was not big, it must be a family with some family backgrounds, and even the servants under him were so well trained, so she responded with a "hard work".

But after a while, the little boy hurried back and saluted, "Please come into the hall and sit down for a while, and my master said to let him change his clothes for a while." ”

"So, it's bothered." Wen Lan followed the child a few steps and walked into a thatched hall.

I saw that the thatched cottage was simple and simple, and it looked indifferent and elegant. It seems to be a country house, but there is an indescribable smell of books and ink. There are bamboo windows on the four walls, most of which are closed and unopened, and only one is slightly opened on the east side, which is obviously inhabited.

The little boy led Wen Lan into the seat, and saluted again: "My master said, it's rare to have guests coming." Sir, don't be inhibited. After speaking, Wen Lan was left alone in the hall.

Wen Lan looked around, except for a few chairs and tables made of bamboo and a few pots of orchids at the door, there were few rows of bookshelves in the corners of the house, and there were many books on them.

Wen Lan was a little curious, thinking that she didn't know what kind of books this master was reading, so she walked over and took a few looks.

He took out one of them, only to see that the book was old, but it was very well preserved, and it seemed to be a rare and unique book. The font on the cover is the "Ancient Tea Sutra------" that circulates in the Bihai Palace.

Wen Lan flipped through a few pages of the catalog, from the Black Rock Blue Needle of the Bihai Country to the evil crow of the Imulan Country, to the Wuyanchun of the Cangwu Country, and there was even the cold heart grass of the Yin Mu Country behind.

The book is a good book, but it's a pity that I don't have much interest, and I don't like to drink tea other than Imulan, and it's in vain to read it, but it seems that the owner of this house is a tea lover.

Wen Lan put down the "Ancient Tea Sutra" and took out another book to read.

I saw that the title of the book was written "Blue Sea and Flame Record".

Wen Lan thought to herself, the title of this book is somewhat interesting. When I opened it, it turned out to be the biographies of all the countries in the world.

He flipped to one of the pages, and at the top of the page was the words "Zhu Zhijie".

"Huh? Could there be her? ”

Since Zhu Zhijie married Cangwu Kingdom, Wen Lan has never seen this peerless person since she left Taiye City. But because Wen Lan lurked in Taiye City very early, Zhu Zhijie's growth from childhood to adulthood can be regarded as vivid.

Wen Lan hastily turned a few pages, most of them were lonely things in the palace, and it didn't matter much, and it was a poem at the end. He read softly:

No waves, half a world,

The dragon's whiskers are broken.

The weather is cold and the snow is difficult to fall white,

The twin incense is gone.

A lotus flower is drawn directly below the poem, but all the petals are withered in the pool, but the lotus seeds in the lotus canopy are dense and very full.

Wen Lan knew that Zhu Zhijie was a person who had no desires and no desires, and she never cared too much, so she just read the meaning of the poem and didn't think about it deeply.

He flipped back a few pages, only to see another name at the top of the page: Lu Qiusheng.

Is there still this one?

Wen Lan was very clear about Lu Qiusheng's ability, but she didn't know much about his body, so she looked at it with interest.

The book is very detailed, in addition to Lu Qiusheng, even his grandfather, father, uncles and brothers are mentioned. Of course, most of them are writing about his masterpieces of the Lu family.

From the Phoenixhead Ship to the Qianshou Pavilion, from Taiye City to the Serpentine Ship, everything is imitated and refined.

Seeing Wen Lan sighing in her heart, Bihai Country has such a talent but can't make good use of it, it is really a mistake for the country. If he was the king of the blue sea, he would have been entrusted with a heavy responsibility a long time ago.

But now that Lu Qiusheng has descended to Imulan, I don't know if this book records what happened after him. Wen Lan wanted to know, so she grabbed the end of the article and looked at it sentence by sentence.

At first, the content of the imitation of the serpentine ship was still correct, but when I saw the back, it suddenly wrote: "After the serpentine ship is completed, it pretends to be sick, and intends to secretly respond with the Liuxia people, in order to get rid of the golden cicada ......."

Wen Lan's brain was extremely fast, and she understood something in an instant, and she didn't feel angry.

It turns out that this dog thief is a fake surrender!

He looked down a little further, and there were also four lines of poetry written there.

Uniquely matched,

Clumsy and hides his heart to hide his loyalty.

False will really wait for the opportunity to ambush,

Leave too much liquid name and merit.

The poem is also a painting, drawing a seven-trick nine chain.

This guy ...... This guy! If you catch this thief in the future, you must break him into several pieces and feed him to the dogs!

Wen Lan was furious, and continued to flip back, and turned to the part of Cangwu Kingdom, where the top of one of the pages read "Mu Yunxi".

Wen Lan thought about it, wasn't this the youngest of the three masters of Mu Yun before. His eldest brother is Mu Yunduo, the father of the left and right masters, and the middle brother is Mu Yunxuan, who has an affair with Concubine Jing. Speaking of which, I only heard that this person was good at divination, but I didn't know much about it, because he was the last son, and he didn't leave any heirs. But in terms of life, it is about the same as those two brothers.

After turning a few pages, most of them were known, but one of them was mentioned, saying that when the third Taishi of Mu Yun's northern expedition to Songyang returned to the capital of the Wanhua Emperor, Mu Yunxi inadvertently lost his way and disappeared, and he did not suddenly return to the Taishi Mansion until more than half a year later. However, Mu Yunxi did not mention where he went and who he met in the past six months.

Although this matter is a little strange, Wen Lan secretly thought that this was all some old things, so it was okay not to look at it, so she turned directly to the end of the article, and saw that there were also four poems there:

Under the sky of Jueling Mountain,

The Xitai Ancient Road has a strange fate.

The lone eagle can't stop the auspicious clouds from going,

Fly over a thousand mountains and never see you again.

At the bottom of the poem is a rugged mountain road, a man is holding on to the mountain wall, his steps are difficult, the road behind him has collapsed, and the end of the front is a cliff.

Wen Lan couldn't understand it a little, so she could only put it aside for the time being, and turned a few more pages, but she couldn't turn over Mu Yun's family after turning many pages in a row.

Wen Lan saw the words "Mu Yunzuo" written on a certain page again, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

This person's name is Mu Yun's family, he has a bit of a stubborn and self-serving temperament, but his wit is extremely mediocre, he really lived up to the prestige of his ancestors, and he was blown up by Yinhua in the Hanjiang River in a daze, and the life of this kind of person is not to be seen.

Wen Lan continued to flip until she reached the verses at the end of the page, where four more lines were written.

The praying mantis is in front and the finch is behind,

The tile stone is on the left, and the jade is on the right.

Heaven is jealous of the talent and easy to destroy,

Hide clumsy in order to live a long life.

Underneath the poem is a monkey with blindfolded eyes and ears and a closed mouth.

Wen Lan was impatient to continue to look at the affairs of the Mu Yun clan, and continued to flip a lot back, but unexpectedly turned too much, but directly turned to the people of the Liuxia Kingdom.

Wen Lan knew only Lin Tongsheng from the Liuxia Kingdom, and although they had been together for many years, they still kept each other secret, let alone knew about other people.

However, after the Liuxia people picked up Su Xiaochen and Zhu Zhitong in a serpentine ship in Luoxia Bay that day, Wen Lan was a little curious about who they were.

He saw the words "Qiu Yueshi" written on the book, and vaguely remembered that Lin Tongsheng had mentioned that it was this person who led the Liuxia people to maintain Zhu Zhiyu left and right, so he read it carefully.

The first few pages of Qiu Yueshi's life are obviously very boring, but they are just reading, practicing swords, and practicing the navy, which makes Wen Lan a little disappointed. He thought that such a young man could be the head of a clan, and he must be quite different from others. Unexpectedly, after reading several pages, it tastes like chewing wax, and there is nothing new.

He thought to himself that he didn't know how those four lines of poetry were written, so he simply turned to the end of the text, and sure enough, a poem was attached.

The Twelve Emperors' Bloodlines True,

Grafting trees and staggered branches.

Slay down the remnant of demons and become evil,

Unintentionally planted willows in the shade.

Wen Lan secretly thought that she really didn't know enough about the affairs of the Liuxia Kingdom to understand it. It's a pity that Lin Tongsheng is dead, otherwise he would have been able to answer a question or two for me after reading this poem.

He was thinking when he suddenly heard footsteps behind his head, as if the owner of the house was coming.
