Chapter 123

"I also discovered it by accident, when I found this different place, after repeated pondering, I suspect that this different place may be the hint left by the third child, and the place indicated on the map now may be the Flame Mountain, the third child in order to let you find me, but also to be able to take me back to the Flame Mountain, so I deliberately did something on the map I made." The eldest brother said excitedly, and the uncle on the side also had the same expression, I looked at their appearance, and knew that they wanted me to help them find the flaming mountain marked on the map.

"If you don't have time, it's okay to postpone it a bit, I just want to give you this map, and help find it when you have time, if you really can't find it, forget it, anyway, it's just a wish of mine to go back there, and there is nothing else important to do." Seeing that I hesitated and did not speak, the eldest brother continued.

To go or not to go? His blacksmith level has just been cultivated to the master level, and there is still a long way to go before the great grandmaster level, even if he keeps cultivating, he doesn't know when he will be able to reach the required level. But if I don't go, although the eldest brother said that it doesn't matter, I know very well in my heart that he really wants to go back to the Flaming Mountain to have a look, after all, there are still his relatives there, his past.

Thinking of this, I immediately made up my mind, anyway, the blacksmith's matter is not in a hurry, and it won't take too much time to find the Flaming Mountain, so let's help my eldest brother fulfill this wish first. So I smiled and said, "Hehe, I haven't had anything to do lately, just now I was thinking about what is similar to the Flaming Mountain I went to last time." ”

In order not to let the eldest brother and the uncle suspect anything, I casually lied and agreed to the eldest brother's request.

"Haha, that's good, but if you have something to do first, it doesn't matter, don't worry, our two old guys are doing well here, I didn't expect Qu Jian, a monster, to have such a deep attainment in medicinal materials after so many years of separation, haha." Seeing that I agreed, the uncle said with a smile.

"Haha, yes, the two of us have recently developed a few more potions, but none of them are suitable for you, wait a few days, let's try again and see if we can make a better potion than the ones we gave you last time." As soon as the eldest brother talked about the potion, he talked a lot more.

"Hehe, I have enough potions now, there are two masters here, eldest brother and uncle, am I still afraid that there will be no good potions to use?" I said with a smile.

"Walker, when you find the Flame Mountain, you and your eldest brother Qu may move over there to live, and I will leave this broken potion shop in Panye Island to you to help take care of it." As he spoke, the uncle suddenly said.

"What, take care of me here? I don't know anything about potions and medicinal herbs, and I'm really afraid that I will discredit the signboard of my uncle's potion shop. I said, smiling sheepishly.

"You can rest assured, just let you take care of it, the matter of making potions is up to our two old guys, although you went over there, don't you have a teleportation ring? It's still very convenient to be a porter, and besides, we two old guys can't die in a short time, haha. Seeing me say this, the uncle said with a smile.

"Actually, your uncle just wants you to be a porter, he wants to enjoy the happiness himself, and he doesn't want to leave the potion shop unmanaged, so he wants to exploit you." The eldest brother, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly interjected.

"Hehe, that's good, in that case, it's still a good choice for me to be a porter." When I saw my uncle say this, I replied with a smile, and the laughter in the room grew louder and louder.

Saying goodbye to my uncle and eldest brother, I returned to Yaxuan, holding the map in my hand, thinking to myself, if I go to find Flaming Mountain, I will have to find someone to take care of the affairs of the weapon shop for me, otherwise it will be all messed up, and there are things in the guild, and I also have to explain it to Prawn, so I sent a message to Prawn and asked him to come over.

"Boss, you're going out again? It's a pity I can't go with you, hehe. After listening to what I said, the prawn said with a smile: "Boss, don't worry, with my prawn here, everything will wait for you to come back." ”

"Hehe, I'm still very relieved to you, I just want to tell you, after all, there are a lot of things in the guild recently, if you can't get busy, just let those guys in the weapon shop get it yourself, although their skills are not as good as mine, but they won't smash their own signboards, you just need to go over and take a look occasionally." I said with a smile.

"Hehe, this is easier, boss, I promise to complete the task, but next time you have the opportunity to go out again, take me with you, hehe."

"Hehe, I'm not going out to play this time, I'm going to find Flaming Mountain, don't worry, when the guild's affairs are on track, I will take you everywhere to play." Listening to his words, I couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt in my heart, I have been his boss for so long, I have never helped him do anything, but he has been helping me do things, thinking of this, I can't help but promise, although I don't know when this promise will be realized, but after saying it, my heart is a lot more comfortable.

"Haha, that's great, I am very satisfied with the boss's words, you must know that the boss is my idol, hehe......" Seeing me say this, the prawns were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths, and they began to talk non-stop.

"What? Husband, are you going out to run around again? No, resolutely no, it's only been a few days since you came back, and you haven't played well with me, and you're going out again, which is not right. "As soon as Xiao Jie heard that I was going to look for the Flame Mountain, she immediately jumped and made trouble, and she didn't agree.

"Dizzy, Xiao Jie, I'm going out to help Brother Qu Jian and them find the Flaming Mountain, not to play." I scolded and said helplessly.

"No, you see that you and Ah Jing went out together last time, if you want to go out this time, then take me with you, hehe, it's not a big deal anyway, just go to find Flaming Mountain, don't you say?" After speaking, Xiao Jie looked at me with wide eyes, with an expression that I would not give up if I didn't agree to him.

"What? It's not okay, although I'm looking for a place, but I don't know what I'll encounter on the way, I may not be able to take care of myself, and I'll be even more ...... if you follow me."

Before I finished my words, Xiao Jie interrupted angrily: "What? I'll take care of myself, really, if I don't bring it, I won't bring it, what's the big deal. ”

I suddenly realized that I had said the wrong thing, and quickly changed my words: "That's not what I mean, I mean that if you are by my side, all the attention is on you, and I will naturally be distracted when I fight monsters." ”

"That's obviously not what I mean, hmph, think about it yourself, if you don't bring it, I'll divorce you both." Xiao Jie said with a bright smile on her face, which made me cry and laugh all of a sudden.

"Ajie, in fact, the eldest brother is right not to take you there, you must know that the eldest brother said that he went to find the Flaming Mountain, in fact, it is no different from going to the Western Continent, I don't know how many dangers I will encounter along the way, it is too dangerous to take you there." Xiao Jing, who was standing on the side and did not speak, finally spoke, and after listening to her words, I hurriedly cast a grateful glance at her.

"Hmph, you all see that my level is low, so you don't want to take me there, and when I get high-level, you have to take me out, or I will pester you so that you don't have any personal space." Xiao Jie saw that Xiao Jing said this, and she didn't pestering anymore, but the expression on her face was still puffed up.

"Well, okay, when you can be a little safer when you go to the level, I will definitely take you over, and I want to leave you, I am still reluctant." I know things are finally settled, said with a smile.

"Hmph, who wants you to talk sweetly, do you think I don't know that you only have Ah Jing in your heart, I am an incidental product, I really can't imagine that I, Xue Jie, have no status like this, woo." Xiaojie, this girl really wants to laugh and cry when she wants to cry, but in the blink of an eye, her eyes are already full of tears.

I saw her crying, although I knew that I wasn't really sad, but my heart was soft, I stepped forward and hugged her in my arms, and whispered: "You and Xiaojing are my hearts, baby, don't think about it, you know?" ”

"I know what you said is false, it's false......" Xiao Jie said with a crying voice, hiding her head in my arms, and the two pink fists kept hammering on my chest.

I raised my head, but found that Xiao Jing didn't know when she had walked out, and her heart couldn't help but move, she wouldn't be sulking alone, thinking of this, troubles hit my heart again, although you can have a husband and two wives in the game, but it's not good after all, if it goes on like this, sooner or later there will be problems.

Sending Xiao Jie away, Xiao Jing suddenly came over, looking at her a little haggard appearance, I was taken aback, and hurriedly asked her if something was wrong, I have been busy killing the sect leader and cultivating the blacksmith level recently, and I haven't talked to Xiao Jing for a long time.

"It's nothing, it's just that the thought of you going out alone again makes me feel a little uncomfortable." Xiao Jing said, and threw herself into my arms and cried.

I stood there dumbfounded, put my arms around her tightly, stroked her back, and said, "Fool, I'm just going out for a few days, and not for a long time, how can you be so sad?" There's still a lot of work to do in the guild for you, the leader, so don't think about it. If there's anything you don't want to do, let Brother Yun do it, don't tire yourself out, you know? ”

"Well, I will, big brother, you have to be careful when you are alone outside, if you really can't find it, come back, anyway, you don't have to find it now, besides, your blacksmith level will take a lot of time to practice, don't forget." After a long while, Xiao Jing finally stopped her convulsions and whispered.

"Hehe, I'll grasp it myself, don't worry, it's not too difficult for me to find the Flame Mountain, after all, I have a map in my hand, don't worry, this time it's not a task, as long as you find that place, it won't take long, you know, this is the wish of Brother Qu Jian and Uncle Qu, I must help them realize it." As I spoke, my heart was hot, and I was a little reluctant to let her go.

"Then I'll rest assured, hehe, big brother, it's all you, I cried again just now, I'm so big, I haven't cried a few times." Suddenly, Xiao Jing let go of mine, and said while wiping her tears and pretending to be angry.

"Don't worry, I will definitely make you happy every day in the future, and I won't let anyone hurt you in the slightest." Suddenly, a sense of masculine responsibility welled up in my heart, and I gently wiped the tears from her face with my hand, tenderly committing. Although I don't know what will happen to me in the future, in my heart, the only thought at the moment is to make Xiaojing happy.

"Yes." Xiao Jing hid her head deep in my arms and replied softly.

After the game, I couldn't sleep in bed, although I had confessed my identity to Xiao Jing, and I was married to her, but in my heart, I have never been able to determine one thing, between me and Xiao Jing and Xiao Jie, whether it only exists on the Internet, or should it develop into reality?

Personally, of course, I hope to be a lover with her in reality, or even a husband and wife, but my inferiority complex has always been at work in my heart, so that I can't make up my mind to start that step, in the end, I am always worried in my heart, if I fail, not only will it be finished in reality, but even on the Internet, there will be no drama between me and them.

For Xiao Jing, I like it very much, it is undeniable; And Xiaojie, although she is a little bit of a big lady and often makes trouble unreasonably, but over time, there is a feeling in my heart that I have slowly adapted to the days with her and the days with Xiaojing.

What should I do if one day it becomes a reality? In reality, it won't be like on the Internet, you can't have both, in the game I can hug left and right, but in real life, I have to make a choice, otherwise it's not good for everyone, but once the choice is made, it will definitely hurt one of them, at least, the relationship between the three of us won't be like it is now, whether it's on the Internet or in real life, it will change a lot, which is the last thing I want to see.

I used to see how painful the love triangle was, and I always laughed it off, but now that I haven't started a formal love triangle, I have already experienced the feeling of being in a dilemma, how should I go on the road ahead? I just can't think of it.

I thought about it for a while, the time was half past three in the morning, I looked at the newly bought alarm clock, breathed a long sigh of relief, and began to laugh again that I was making myself amorous, maybe Xiaojie was doing this to herself for fun, with her character, nothing is impossible, and Xiaojing, what she does to herself in real life, I don't know yet. Don't be cranky here, go to bed early, things will always work out one day.

Thinking of this, I turned off the lights in my room, and the whole world went dark, and in the deep darkness, my consciousness gradually became confused in the struggle......

After studying for more than an hour, I finally found a strange thing, the Flaming Mountain seems to be geographically close to the Lost Jungle, I don't dare to confirm it, after all, the eldest brother has been in the Lost Jungle for so many years, if the Flaming Mountain is very close to the Lost Jungle, his friends should go to him.

However, I looked carefully at the faint markings on the map again, and still did not disprove my suspicions, and in order to find the location of the Flaming Mountain as soon as possible, I had to use the teleportation ring to send myself to the entrance to the Lost Jungle.

Standing at the entrance of the Lost Jungle, behind me was the vast desert, and in front of me was the Lost Jungle that had trapped me for many days, let me know my eldest brother, and made me and Song Qi form a deep friendship. I took the map out, and according to the location marked on the map, the Flaming Mountain should be not far east of the Lost Jungle, and I looked at the map as I walked towards the east, although the walk was much slower, but it was relatively safe, and more importantly, it didn't let me miss any clues that I could use.

After walking for nearly an hour, I was still in front of the same scene as at the beginning, with the desert on one side and the jungle on the other. However, just when I was about to lose confidence, I suddenly noticed some faint changes in front of me, I looked at the vague shadow, and happily rushed forward, and sure enough, not far in front of me, the jungle was all gone, the desert was gone, and the steep peaks were one after another, so that I could not see the end at all.

Could this be the Flaming Mountain? No, I looked at the lush mountains, and I couldn't associate them with the Flaming Mountain, but when I thought of the heavy rain there the last time I left, I unconsciously admitted that what I saw in front of me was the Flaming Mountain.

Thinking of this, I walked quickly to the front, and sure enough, the system showed that I had entered the range of the Flaming Mountain, but soon the excitement turned into frustration, it turned out that the Flaming Mountain was so big, I had been walking for almost half an hour, and I was still in the Flaming Mountain, but I didn't see a little similar scenery and terrain to the places I had been before.

Just when I was too depressed to leave, a stone monument appeared in front of me, and the three big characters of "Flaming Mountain" were prominently displayed on the stone tablet, and I couldn't help but be ecstatic in my heart. Now it seems that as long as I follow the direction indicated by this stone tablet, I will soon be able to reach the destination of this trip, I did not expect to end my task so quickly, I walked with a much lighter step, as if I had inexhaustible strength, completely devoid of the frustration and powerlessness just now.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the town to appear in front of me, and when I walked in, I found that the town was the same as the last time I came, it was still so desolate that there was not even a single figure, and there wouldn't be anything to happen to me to settle it, thinking about the powerful Bull Demon King last time, my heart was furious.

Walking into the teahouse, I shouted, "Is there anyone?" Is anyone here? ”

After calling for a long time, but no one answered me, I became disappointed, and wondered if something worse had happened than the last time, and the inhabitants of this town had been forced to move out. No way.

At this time, an old voice came out from the small house in the back, "Who, what are you doing here at this time?" ”

I heard that it was the old man last time, and I shouted happily: "Old man, it's me, I'm a walker, the young man who came to kill the Bull Demon King last time, do you remember me?" ”

"Ah, why are you here again, have you already found my eldest brother?" As soon as I finished speaking, the old man also exclaimed, and the old man's voice was full of excitement.

"Yes, hehe, Brother Qu Jian asked me to come to find Flame Mountain, so I found this place according to the map you gave me." I replied with a smile, thinking that the task was finally completed, but I didn't expect it to be so smooth, it seems that I can go back to cultivate the blacksmith level sooner.

"Sure enough, it's you, I really didn't expect it, is Brother Qu Jian okay? After so many years, he has lived a hard life alone in the Lost Jungle, and now that he has finally come out, when will he come back, do you know? What did he ask you to do, did he say he was looking for me? As soon as the old man heard that I was a friend of Brother Qu Jian, he began to babble, his eyes full of excitement, as if Qu Jian was standing in front of him now.

"Brother Qu Jian asked me to come to Flame Mountain first, saying that I would notify him when I found it, and he would come over as soon as possible, so don't worry. He said that you, hehe, you are his third brother. I saw that the old man was so excited, so I patiently answered his many questions one by one.

"Yes, I am his third brother, his useless third brother, after so many years, I didn't expect him to remember me, and he still remembered my useless third brother." The old man said, falling into deep memories, and the expression on his face changed rapidly, and after a while, old tears began to rise.

"Old man, Brother Qu Jian often talks about you, hehe." I didn't know what the old man was so excited about, so I had to comfort him stiffly.

"Little brother, thank you, but I still have one more thing I want to ask you to help with, I don't want Brother Qu Jian to see such a depressed scene in the town when he comes back." After a long time, the old man reluctantly regained his usual expression and pleaded with me.

"Old man, wasn't the Bull Demon King killed by me? Could it be that something is going on here? "I asked the old man, while praying in my heart, don't let me meet a tough guy like the Bull Demon King last time, although now my strength is much stronger than before, but I still have no way to deal with such a terrifying guy, last time it wasn't for the use of the cow's nature opportunistic, I would not have killed the hateful Bull Demon King.

The old man let out a long sigh and said: "Hey, it's hard to say, after the little brother killed the Bull Demon King last time, the entire Flame Mountain was restored to its previous beauty, and everyone was very happy, but unfortunately, good things always end too quickly, and after a few days, another monster suddenly came to the mountain, this monster did not destroy the Flame Mountain like the Bull Demon King, but every once in a while, he would cast a spell to make the sky rain." ”
