The wind blowing through the leaves of the trees in the early morning is always intoxicating with the sound of flowing water. It's like nature singing with her unique voice.

The boy opened his eyes dimly, and he could still vaguely feel the labor pain coming from his body. He tried to sit up, but he couldn't help but snort. He breathed hard, carefully opening his eyes wide from the blinding white light, taking in everything around him. Only then did I find myself lying in a room full of feminine atmosphere, with a purple veil hanging low, unadorned with vermilion, and a sandalwood table fixed with green vines on the wall not far away, and a small bronze mirror leaning against the pink and white veil. Near the head of the bed, a bright lamp had long since burned out, but there was still a faint smell of sandalwood. On the other side of the wall, the golden spike bow hung straight on it, and the woman's clothes were neatly laid out in a fence also made of wooden rattan.

He withdrew his gaze, endured the pain, straightened his clothes and got out of bed. Holding on to the somewhat cold wooden railing, he slowly removed his hand from his eyebrows, gradually getting used to the brightness outside the door. Leaning against the straight wooden pillar outside the house, he stabilized his figure, and not far away, the woman with a slender back sat on a boulder by the stream, quiet like a beautiful painting. It was still a long blue dress, with long hair coiled around the golden hairpin, and some scattered long hair was on the woman's shoulders, fluttering in the wind.

"Is the wound healing?" came a familiar and beautiful voice, it was Jin Sui. I don't know if it's because the morning breeze is a little cool, he inexplicably feels the coldness in his words.

"Much better," the boy staggered over, raising his figure. He sat down on the grass beside her, leaning thoughtfully against the side of the golden spike's face.

"You can go down the mountain tomorrow morning," Jin Suitou said to himself, without replying, "the medicine is ready and in your pocket, and it should be well soon." The flat voice always felt that it was no longer as cheerful and gentle as yesterday.

"Spike?" the boy looked in her direction, the clear water flowing slowly against the huge rock wall, and from time to time fish jumped out and splashed a little bit. He didn't notice that her whole body trembled when she heard the name.

"Why, is it Sui?" the woman struggled to control her emotions, as if she was puzzled and curious, but also as if she was expecting something.

"Sounds good. The boy didn't know why he blurted it out. It may really be better to listen to and remember than 'Golden Spike'. She thought so, and didn't continue to ask. didn't notice that her eyes like autumn water were already full of tears.

After being silent for a long time, she reacted to her gaffe, and her slender white hands gently brushed away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and there was no response.

Today, it was very deserted at the foot of the mountain, with only a few elderly people lingering in the streets, and in a hall in the middle of the village, the noise of people kept coming.

"I think it's better to be slow," the vicissitudes of life came out, and the room suddenly became much quieter. On a sandalwood chair in front of the hall, an old man with goosebumps out a cigarette and interrupts the villagers' argument without raising his head. In the hall, there were some familiar faces of boys. The middle-aged woman, the guard Uncle Scar, etc., everyone did not dare to speak, and quietly waited for the old man's explanation.

"As everyone here knows, he is still just a child, and we don't know if he has the threat of the mountain beast after the lockdown is lifted," the old man knocked his pipe on the handrail, raised his head and said with a serious face.

"But, didn't that black-robed immortal prophesy?" a deep voice replied sharply, "Since he came here, all his subsequent actions have been in that immortal's prophecy." "The middle-aged man is full of fat, and the exaggerated embroidered kaftan is particularly outstanding. He kept shouting to the villagers around him, as if he wanted them to echo him.

"That fierce beast was sealed in the back mountain in the early years, maybe it hasn't moved for a long time, and when that little monster comes, I think everyone here can feel it," the man rudely rolled up his sleeves, "These days, we are either stormy or suddenly closed the mountain." , even the widow rarely goes to the back mountains to fetch water. After speaking, he looked at a middle-aged woman in the crowd who was still a little beautiful with a wicked smile.

"Phew, shameless. The woman blushed and scolded angrily at the laughter of the crowd.

"Okay, don't make any noise, wait until tonight is over, if it's really as the immortal said", the old man sighed and lowered his voice, "Let's do it according to the clan punishment." ”

For a long time, the originally bustling lobby had long been silent, and only the old man was still slumped on the wooden chair. "Alas, poor boy", he sighed heavily, and exhaled a large cloud of smoke vigorously, "the mountain spirit moves, the Venus red mist, the fox fires all over, and the red sun dragon groans." Hope tonight, alas. ”

"Where is this?" the boy asked, frowning, looking at the animal remains scattered around the cave, and with some surprise. Originally, Sui planned to come here alone to find the spirit grass to heal his injuries, but he couldn't bear to insist on it again and again.

"Forbidden land," at this time, the spike was carrying the golden spike longbow on her back, more like a battle-hardened female general, with long hair fluttering and a heroic posture. "The humans made this a forbidden place. ”

"Forbidden?" the boy scratched his head even more suspiciously, the oil lamp in his hand was still burning.

Spike stopped, turned around, and stared into his eyes, "Remember the story I told you?"

"Isn't that fox nicknamed Black Snake dead?" the boy widened his eyes and lowered his voice as he looked at the stunning face that was only half a step away in front of him.

"No, it was the feathered black snake he killed that was suppressed underground. Sui didn't avoid his gaze, staring at the boy's immature face, a little distracted. Is it you?

"Hey, Spike, is there really the purple Lingzhi you mentioned here?" the boy didn't seem to notice the change in the golden spike, and looked around.

She came back to her senses, turned around in a panic, and looked embarrassed like a little girl who had been caught stealing candy and blushing.

"Yes, yes," Jin Sui flapped her hands and fanned her hot cheeks, gulping her breathing.

"What's wrong with you?" the boy seemed to notice the strangeness of the golden spike, and quickly leaned over the lamp, and asked with concern. "Is it hot? ”

Jin Sui secretly rolled his eyes, "It's okay, let's go." "This guy!

"You don't have a name yet, do you?" asked Sui, as she walked.

"Hmm. He nodded earnestly.

"Otherwise, I'll call you 'Fox'", Sui thought seriously, "You don't care anyway." ”

"Okay," the boy agreed, without thinking, and it really didn't matter, "thank you."

I don't know how long I walked, but the narrow passage seemed to come to an end. The fox trotted almost to the golden spike, and he lifted the oil lamp further, and by the faint light of the fire, he found other lampposts around him.

"Sui, it seems that there were once people here," the fox lit the cleaned oil lamps one by one, and gradually, the originally dark space was invisible in the firelight.

In the firelight, Jin Sui had already walked to the center of the cave with ease. A few broken wooden tablets were scattered around, and in front of her gaze, a large hourglass-like stone sculpture was quietly placed, and a fleshy mushroom with a whole purple body protruding from the center of the stone sculpture.

"This is Purple Lingzhi?" The fox also rushed over, looking curiously at the somewhat ugly spirit grass in front of him.

"Hmm. Sui Ying nodded, her eyebrows furrowed, as if she had something to say, but she was reluctant to speak.

As soon as she didn't pay attention, she saw the fox's immature hand stretched out.

"Hey, you don't want to die!" In the panic, Jin Sui violently pushed away the fox's hand, the willow eyebrows kicked up, and the pretty little face tightened, and shouted angrily, "This flower will squirt poisonous juice when it feels dangerous, and if you are not careful, your entire hand will have to be cut off." ”

The fox hung his head a little ashamedly, quietly bearing the scolding of Jin Sui.

"Then how do you get it?" After Jin Sui finished teaching, the fox asked modestly, his eyes full of recognition.

"With blood, this Lingzhi is the most pleasing blood," Jin Sui replied calmly after seeing him sincerely admit his mistake, "It's okay to reach out and pick it after scratching the skin on your hand a little." As soon as she finished speaking, she took the sharp arrow blade from the accessory around her waist. was about to row away, but was suddenly snatched away by a pair of immature little hands.

"Hey!" Before he could finish speaking, the sharp blade of the arrow slashed the fox's wrist, and blood suddenly gushed out.

"Don't worry. The fox said proudly. It's like a child arrogantly waiting for the praise of adults.

"Hey. Jin Sui shook his head helplessly, and only needed to scratch the skin between his fingers. "Cache. Jin Sui urged anxiously and distressedly.

When the fox's hand gradually stretched out, the purple lingzhi swayed wildly, as if secreting some liquid, but when the fox's blood dripped down the surface of the finger, the purple lingzhi stopped swinging, and the fleshy flower body was divided into two parts, like an ugly mouth echoing him. He took the opportunity to pull the Lingzhi up violently, and in a moment, under the cover of blood, the Lingzhi dissipated the purple color of the whole body, and the color became darker and darker, and finally, a Lingzhi shaped like a brown stone in the palm of the fox's blood-filled hand calmly appeared in sight.

Jin Sui took the lingzhi and carefully put it into the medicine bag he carried, and then carefully bandaged the fox's wrist, but he couldn't help but criticize.

At this moment, the blood that was still remaining on the stone carving was now swallowed up by an invisible whirlpool. Inexplicable lines spread on the stone carvings, and finally gathered into the hard ground, and the originally stable ground trembled violently at this moment.

Jin Sui, who had just finished bandaging, first felt the strangeness coming from under his feet, and suddenly grabbed the fox's other hand and rushed out. In a little surprise, the fox ran hard with the pace of Jin Sui, and at this moment, he didn't have time to ask her what happened, and he didn't have time to feel the warmth and tenderness of his palm. At this time, his head was like last night, and the feeling of continuous explosion was transmitted. The chains on his feet finally took shape at this moment, and the violent weight sensation made him breathless, and just when he was about to reach the entrance of the cave, he could no longer bear the burning and heavy pain, and with a step, he broke free of the hand of the golden spike, and pushed the golden spike who almost fell out. The sound of falling rocks came heavily, and this place was about to collapse!

When Jin Sui stabilized his body and turned his head suddenly, he was about to bring the fox out, but he was knocked to the ground by a black shadow that suddenly pounced. It was an adult black-spotted wolf! Looking intently, around her, countless huge ground wolves bared their sharp fangs, and saliva flowed down their terrifying faces. Obviously, these ordinary ground wolves found this place under the leadership of the black spotted ground wolf. At this time, the black spotted wolf that pounced on it had already blocked the entrance of the hole, it was a little twice the size of the ground wolf, and the black markings on its back looked like miserable human faces. With the roar of the black-spotted wolf, the faces of the people also stared at the golden spike facing each other in front of them as if they were joking.
