The night passed quickly.

The summer evening was intended to slowly open his eyes in the early morning.

Subconsciously touched his shoulder, and felt that there was no longer the same pain as last night, only a slight pain, but it did not affect his movements.

sat up and found that except for Xia Ruyi, everyone else woke up and sat on the side eating.

Outside the shed, there was still a bright tiger skin, and a smell of meat wafted into Xia Wanyi's nose, for him who hadn't eaten all night, this meat fragrance made his mouth water.

"Huh? Brother Xia woke up? Yu Chengcheng turned his head and saw Xia Wanyi sitting in the shed.

"How long have I been unconscious?" Xia Wanyi asked softly.

"Hmm." Xia Wanyi nodded slightly, walked out, took a sip of the water bag, then rinsed his mouth, washed his face again, and when he sat by the fire, Xuanyuan Yu had already helped him cut the meat.

"It smells so good! What kind of meat is this? Xia Wanyi sniffed.

Xuanyuan Yu pointed to the tiger skin on the side.

Xia Wanyi looked at the meat in his hand, making you want to eat Lao Tzu, now Lao Tzu has eaten you, if it is placed in the 21st century, I dare not eat you!

I want to take a bite and chew it, it is full of tenacity and attractive fragrance, it is really a rare good meat!

"By the way, I also said that I personally peeled off its skin, and when I woke up, not only was the skin picked, but the meat was eaten, and I guess the bones have been pulled out by you, right?"

Yu Chengcheng and Xuanyuan smiled "hehe", and said a little apologetically: "I'm afraid you won't have time to wake up." ”

Xia Wanyi ate the meat with enjoyment, and said cheekily: "Well, it's good to get up and eat ready-made, fortunately, you have picked up its skin, smoked the bones, and roasted the meat, otherwise when I wake up, how can I have time to tinker?" It's also a good time-saver. ”

Yu Chengcheng and Xuanyuan Yu thought that Xia Wanyi was going to blame them for doing it without permission, but it turned out that it wasn't, and their nervous hearts were suddenly relieved.

Half an hour later, a few people rested, then packed up their things, and continued to hurry, if you don't find the hanging pot today, then the Ruyi poison will be weak.

The tiger skin was already dry, and Xia Wanyi stuffed it into the burden brought by the Jade Allure City, squeezing the space to a bulge.

As for the tiger bone, Yu Chengcheng took out a coat, picked it up, twisted it into the shape of a burden, and carried it.

The rest of the remaining half of the meat, in addition to roasting a few catties with large leaves to pack away, the rest is put on the spot, there is no shortage of animals here, this meat, will return to nature.

This time, because Xia Wanyi's injury did not heal, after discussion, Yu Chengcheng came to open the way, Xiaoqing was brought by Xia Wanyi, and Xuanyuan Yu carried Xia Ruyi as usual.

The mountains are continuous, the morning dew is crystal clear, walking in the mountains, the clothes are dyed a lot, fortunately it is autumn, a few people wear a lot, do not feel cold.

Although the pace of several people was a little anxious, they were all cautious, for fear that if they were not careful, they would suffer accidents. If this is like Xia Wanyi encountered a tiger last night, not to mention whether anyone would be injured, in terms of time, it would be unaffordable, and since there was a tiger, it was impossible not to have a second one.

Even if you are not a tiger, you have to guard against other wild animals, such as wolves, leopards, etc.

So, until noon, as they walked, they suddenly walked out of the rocky mountains and came to a small basin surrounded by hills.

Although it is already autumn, this basin, which is about the size of three football fields, is in full bloom and fragrant.

What an outdoor paradise-like existence!

A small stream winds through the middle of the basin, and a few rabbits play around the stream. It is also unknown whether these rabbits are wild or domestic.

Xia Wanyi looked around for a week, but did not find a house, that is, no one lived here, and the hanging pot was not here.

took out the drawings, Xia Wanyi looked at it again, and said, "There should be a Jishi Mountain near this basin." ”

Jade Tilting City came over, also looked at the drawing, pointed to a small circle on it and said, "This is this basin, as for Jishi Mountain, the map shows its northwest direction." ”

Xia Wanyi glanced up at the warm sun above them, and the sun was above them at this time.

"We've been walking with our backs to the sun this morning, so we're facing the west now." As he spoke, he pointed to a mountain peak that was not too tall, "It should be Jishi Mountain." ”

Xuanyuan and Jade Chengcheng nodded slightly, and Jade Chengcheng said, "Without further ado, let's go over and take a look." ”

"Let's go!"

The direction determined is also the direction of the upper reaches of the stream, so that the upper reaches of the stream are followed, and two hills are rounded to the foot of a mountain peak on the edge of the basin.

The entrance of a cave appeared in front of the three of them.

A boy was playing Go under a pine tree at the entrance of the cave, and when several people approached, the boy didn't realize that he was so obsessed with playing chess.

However, the boy frowned, staring at this game of chess, sometimes sighing, sometimes thinking, sometimes raising chess, sometimes putting down, but not a single particle was lost.

"Is it a sunspot or a white?" Xia Wanyi sat opposite the boy.

The boy replied absentmindedly: "Baizi." ”

Without saying a word, Xia Wanyi picked up a white seed and put it on the chessboard.

"Huh?" The boy's brows stretched slightly, and he said, "Want to get away with it? ”

With that, he dropped a sunspot near the white one.

Xia Wanyi took another white seed, but it fell on a point a few steps away from the sunspot.

"Huh?!" The boy was surprised and said, "Sure enough! ”

Bai Zi had already won, and the boy exhaled a breath of pleasure, and said: "Wu Zi has finally broken this endgame given by the master in the morning, I have to tell the master to go!" ”

The boy stood up, and then he sensed that something was wrong.

There were a few strangers standing beside him!

"Huh? Who are you? The boy scratched his head, "When did you get here?" ”

Xia Wanyi hugged his fists and said: "A few of us came from Qinglong City, because the sister was highly poisoned and in danger, this little Qing girl was blind, so in a hurry, I came to this Jishi Mountain, and I wanted to invite ......."

"Master has already traveled three days ago." The boy didn't give Xia Wanyi anything to say, so he interrupted.

"Wandering?"

"Yes, it's a cloud tour!"

At this time, Xiaoqing "looked" at the boy with blank eyes, and said, "Didn't you just say that you were going to tell your master the news that the endgame was broken?" Now that he's gone, how do you tell him? Is it possible that you also want to travel? ”

"This ......" was seen through the boy, and he was speechless for a while.

After all, there is a request for people, so Xia Wanyi showed a harmless smile and said to the boy: "Please also ask the boy to be good, and go into the cave to report the hanging pot and disperse." ”

Pursing his lips, the boy said, "Master won't see outsiders easily, so you better go back!" ”

"Boy, your master, must have known that we were coming." Xia Wanyi was not discouraged.

"There's no need to quibble, Master is not an immortal, how would he know that you would come?" The boy still didn't go.

"Hehehehe." Xia Wanyi smiled, pointed to the chessboard, and said, "Please also ask the boy to look at this game of chess carefully." ”

"Oh?" The boy didn't know what Xia Wanyi was selling, but he still looked at the chessboard and the black and white chess pieces on it.

"What's wrong with this game of chess? What does this have to do with Master knowing that you are coming here? ”

"What kind of characters do you see the sunspots formed under the siege of the whites?" Xia Wanyi prompted.

The boy looked at the black and white chess pieces suspiciously, and then picked up a small branch on the ground and drew it.

"Words?" The boy looked at the patterns he had drawn, which looked like words and did not look like words.

Xia Wanyi still said unrelentingly: "Please also ask the boy to write down the mirror of these three words." ”

The boy pouted, looked at the pattern suspiciously, and then drew its mirrored appearance.

It's three words!

Someone's coming!

"Someone's coming!" The boy was surprised to pronounce these three words.

"Presumably, the hanging pot is using this chess game to tell you that someone is coming from Jishi Mountain." Yu Chengcheng on the side said at this time.

"This game of chess pieces was broken by this son, and the boy really admires it." The boy clenched his fists and said, but then said, "But this does not prove that the master wants to tell me that someone from Jishi Mountain has come, and this is just a coincidence." ”

Xia Wanyi once again clasped his fists and said: "We have worked hard to find it all the way, and human life is at stake, and I hope that the boy will not embarrass us, please ask the boy to work hard." ”

"Well...... the boy hesitated for a moment and said, "We have a rule in Jishi Mountain, anyone who is lucky enough to enter here must go through a test before they can see the master." ”

Unexpectedly, there was this, Xia Wanyi asked, "What is the test?" ”

The boy smiled and said, "Please pluck the fruit from this vine above." ”

The boy pointed to the stone wall a dozen steps away from the cave, there was a green vine, and there were many fruits growing on the vines, this kind of fruit, Xia Wanyi did not know its name.

"That's it?" Jade Tilting City and Xuanyuan asked in unison.

The boy smiled and nodded, and said, "That's it, you only need to pick two to come back, you have two chances, and you didn't pick two fruits at both chances, and the boy can only say, 'A few of them, please come back'." ”

Sweeping over the three men, the boy said, "I don't know which of the three sons is willing to pick the fruit?" You can also come up with another person to pick it after the first one fails. ”

Yu Chengcheng said with a smile: "This fruit grows low, you can pick it with your hand, what's so difficult about this, I'll go!" ”

However, Xia Wanyi began to frown when he saw this vine, and he vaguely felt that this fruit was not as simple as he imagined!
