This...

Bai Yan was stunned at the last fork, the reason was that there were six different exits in front of him, no wonder Hanyu only told him how to go to the first five forks, because the sixth fork couldn't tell the left and right at all.

"As for the last one, it doesn't matter which one you choose, you can enter the pool of the big toad, it's just that the landing point is different. Depending on your choice, you'll randomly drop anywhere in the Toad's Pool, but be careful, if you're unlucky enough to fall on the Toad's head... No one can save you. ”

Hanyu Fair's last sentence, now that he thinks about it, it makes Bai Yan a little nervous, six exits, choose one of them, and one of them is the worst choice.

However, he didn't hesitate for too long, thinking that his luck should not be so bad, so he casually chose the fifth exit and got into it.

In the fall.

Bai Yan clearly felt that he was falling, the space around him was very large, but it was very dark, no light came in, the wind swept by his side, and the feeling of falling became more and more obvious.

Bai Yan controlled Gengjin's qi and tried his best to keep himself stable in the air.

Through this dark passageway, his vision suddenly cleared.

In front of me, how to say, it is a pool of water.

Bai Yan floats in the sky, so you can overlook the whole of this pool.

Bai Yan deduced that this was not a natural lake based on the stone bricks surrounding the edge of the pool, but this pool was so large that Bai Yan couldn't even see the edge at a glance.

It's a valley with green vines winding along the mountain walls, and the pond is surrounded by trees. Sunlight shines through the valley mouth, through the gaps between the vines and the shadows of the trees. Shining on the water of the pond full of lotus flowers and lotus leaves, a little bit of light makes this place reveal an indescribable mystery.

The pond is covered with lotus leaves and lotus flowers. From time to time, there were small creatures beating on the lotus leaves, jumping from here to there, and Bai Yan looked at them, they were all small toads.

There was a hut on the edge of the pond, and there was no light in it, it was dim, and I didn't know what it was used for.

It seems that he didn't meet a big toad, and he was really lucky.

So, where is Gu Qingwan...?

- "I've arrived. Where are you? ”

Bai Yan quickly sent a message to Gu Qingwan, and then landed on the poolside.

Gu Qingwan's news came quickly.

- "Poolside hut, I'm right there, you come in first." ”

Bai Yan looked at the hut by the pool, the hut had no windows and no second entrance, he walked to the edge of the hut and knocked on the door.

The exterior of the cottage is very old and in disrepair. Bai Yan felt that this door was not very strong, and it might fall down at any time.

"Gu Qingwan?"

The door creaked open, and Gu Qingwan's bright face was revealed from it, even if it was a chaimen, it was difficult to hide its beautiful demeanor.

"You're here."

See Bai Yan. Gu Qingwan smiled, opened the door slightly, and let Bai Yan walk in. Then he looked cautiously out the door.

Bai Yan saw that she was very nervous, as if she was guarding against something. He asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's safe for now, you sit."

At this time, Bai Yan realized that there was actually a square table in the hut. There was a chair on each side of the table, and on the table were some fruit bowls and drinks, but they didn't look like they were for their own use, but like tribute.

Gu Qingwan closed the door, sat down opposite Bai Yan, and said softly: "Mr. Bai, long greetings." ”

"Me too, Miss Gu, I haven't seen you for a long time." Bai Yan responded.

Gu Qingwan looked at Bai Yan with a pair of wise eyes, seeing that his clothes were disheveled, his breath was uneven, and his eyes were a little sloppy.

"If Mr. Bai doesn't give up, then call me Qingwan." Gu Qingwan's eyes were apologetic, "Mr. Bai, you are willing to take risks to rescue a person who is actually ruthless with you, Qingwan is really grateful." ”

Bai Yan hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

"Then you don't have to call me Mr. Bai." He said, "According to the previous emergency, call me Bai Yanfei." ”

"It's just in an emergency, and it's too rude to call him by his name on weekdays..."

Gu Qingwan frowned at his good-looking eyebrows, thought for a moment, and said, "Just now, when you were in a hurry, the message you sent claimed to be [Bai Yan], I guess, is this your real name?" ”

Bai Yan thought about it, it seemed that there was really such a thing, Gu Qingwan was smart, and since he was detected, there was nothing to hide, so he said: "Yes, I am indeed called Bai Yan." ”

Gu Qingwan smiled lightly: "Bai Yan, Bai Yan Fei, add a flying word, it's sloppy and interesting." ”

Bai Yan didn't think about it when he named it at that time, and he did it casually, but when he was mentioned by Gu Qingwan at this time, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"In that case, I will call you Ah Yan, how about it?" Gu Qingwan's wonderful eyes met Bai Yan's eyes.

There is such a beautiful woman like spring water in front of her, and no man will refuse. Bai Yan is certainly no exception.

"Ah Yan, you must have suffered a lot when you came here, it is Qingwan's fault, after this time, Qingwan will definitely be rewarded."

Bai Yan shook his head: "I didn't come here to repay my kindness. I'll talk about this later, Qingwan, let's make the situation clear to me first. ”

"Well, here's the thing."

Bai Yan sat opposite Gu Qingwan and listened to her tell the story of the matter.

Gu Qingwan's task was to paste the toads in the entire Great Toad Pond with rune paper, and then take away the water in the pool closest to the Great Toad.

The water of the Great Toad's Pond is rich in very rich energy, and it is especially suitable for performing rituals to worship the gods, that is, sacred water in the popular sense. The effect of this pool water is also divided into light and small, the closer to the big toad, the stronger the effect of the pool water, and the weaker it is, and the big toad has a huge body, it is inconvenient to move, and the location is fixed, so the location of the divine water is easy to find.

The talisman paper that Gu Qingwan attached to the toads was to temporarily paralyze them so that they could take away the divine water. You must know that the toad clan attaches great importance to the water in this pond, especially the most precious divine water around the big toad. Although the toad does not hurt people easily, it will even protect the people who strayed into the pool to leave. But if you break it, the consequences are absolutely unpleasant. The matter of taking divine water is a violation of it.

With his excellent flying posture and cautious attitude. Gu Qingwan had already sealed all the toads except the big toad before, and then made a move on the big toad alone, but the big toad was too sharp, Gu Qingwan was slightly closer, and it would forcibly use its power to unseal all the sealed toads, and attack Gu Qingwan in groups, which was too difficult.

In order to get some divine water, Gu Qingwan had to use a higher-level rune paper. This time the effect was very good, and when the big toad couldn't move his body, he was really taken away by Gu Qingwan from a whole bottle of divine water.

The matter was already over here, but after the big toad was enraged, the consequences were extremely terrifying, and its whole body turned angry blood red, bursting out with unprecedented power, and once again freeing all the toads from the seal with the bonus rune paper. Then the death squad attacked Gu Qingwan, Gu Qingwan wanted to resist and wait for an opportunity to escape at first, but the big toad's offensive was too intensive, and it seemed that he was motivated to kill. I want to kill Gu Qingwan directly and get the divine water back.

Originally, Gu Qingwan would be fine as soon as he died, anyway, after he died, as long as he repented in hell for a day or two, and then deducted some equipment and props, he could be resurrected at the offline point. Unfortunately, the Divine Water is a prop that must be dropped. After Gu Qingwan died, Shenshui would not follow her back to the offline point.

Gu Qingwan fell into an extremely embarrassing situation. She needed the water very much to complete a task that was very important to her, but she couldn't bring the water out of the pool of the toad, and even she couldn't protect herself, so she could only hide in this small cabin for the time being, and if she stayed in this small cabin, the toad would not attack her.

As for why this small cabin is so safe, Gu Qingwan's explanation is that this is the ancestral hall of a certain god, protected by the power of the god, and the toads dare not offend, and they will not even approach here.

Gu Qingwan had brought a lot of food with her, and she had been holding out for several days, and she wanted to eliminate the hatred of the toads for her by dragging out of time, but every time she tried to step out of the hut these days, she would be frantically besieged by a large group of toads.

Originally, Gu Qingwan didn't plan to invite others to relieve her, and she actually had few friends, so she planned to keep trying by herself. But after the Gensokyo update, as soon as she went online, she received a system prompt that she could stay in the hut for a few hours at most, but she really couldn't, so she had to ask her friends for help. Among her few friends, only Bai Yan was the one who could spare time at this time, so there was a scene of asking for help before.

"In other words, all I can do now is help you get rid of those toads." Bai Yan said.

"In that case, your life would be in danger." Gu Qingwan said seriously, "I don't want you to die." ”

"That..."

"The hatred of those toads is on me alone, the divine water was sealed by me with a reliable container, it is impossible for the toads to lock me by sensing the divine water, it must have left some smell on me, so they are very sensitive to me. Ah Yan, I will hand over the divine water to you, and when we go out at the same time, you will fly in the direction when you come and go, and I will leave to attract the attention of the toads, if you die, you will die. ”

Gu Qingwan's tone was very resolute, it seemed that he had already had the will to die, regarded death as home, and did not let Bai Yan object at all.

This man has done a lot for her, and he must not be allowed to die here again.

Bai Yan hesitated: "Qingwan... How can you trust me? Isn't divine water something very important to you? Just give it to me plainly, okay? ”

"Just because you dare to come, I dare to believe you, I believe in my own eyes, Ah Yan, you won't lie to me, absolutely not."

Gu Qingwan smiled softly, shook his head and said, "So I won't sign a contract with you." ”

She saw Bai Yan's actions in mediating the contract interface.

"Don't even want a contract?" Bai Yan exclaimed.

He really didn't expect that Gu Qingwan trusted him so much that he even refused the basic form of protection such as a contract.

Gu Qingwan insisted on staying in the hut for more than ten days for the sake of Shenshui, if she changed to an ordinary task, ordinary players would probably die if they couldn't bear to be lonely and bored, but she persevered. A woman like her who is soft and strong, has her own noble self-esteem, and she will never ask others to pay for her unless she has to, but she actually sent a request for help to Bai Yan for the task of divine water and its connection... In this way, it can be seen that the divine water is really very important to her.

But such an important thing, I didn't even want a contract, I just handed it over to myself, and in order to protect myself, I was willing to sacrifice myself to attract firepower...

What a deep trust that is.

Although he paid a lot of money to come here, he only followed his heart, and did not ask for anything in return or thanks. But the oncoming trust made Bai Yan really at a loss.

Very few people... No, except for Wu Yinhe, there is no one who has such trust in himself, so as if he can give his back to the other party with complete peace of mind.

Twenty years, no.

Bai Yan lowered his head slightly, and in his mind, Gu Qingwan's firm and gentle smile flashed again.

The corners of his mouth unconsciously curled a little.

Really... Gu Qingwan, Qingwan, this woman...

It's really fun...!

"Ah Yan?"

Gu Qingwan was stunned, she felt that Bai Yan's originally somewhat depressed momentum suddenly lifted.

Bai Yan raised his drooping head, and in his eyes, there was a sharp look.

"Qingwan, I'm very happy now."

Bai Yan's eyes met Gu Qingwan's watery eyes, and he said in a deep voice.

Gu Qingwan's expression gradually changed from doubt to surprise.

The man in front of him who always spoke with a cold face, the man who was good at fighting and flying, but not good at getting along with people, after saying such a sentence full of emotions, that cold face actually bloomed full of sunshine and a happy smile, which was diametrically opposed to the indifferent impression he left on everyone on weekdays, and it was difficult for others to imagine that such a smile could also be seen on this person's face?

At this time, Bai Yan's whole person seemed to be exuding a shining brilliance.

Wu Yinhe once said that if Bai Yan laughed sincerely, I am afraid that no girl would not like it. To tell the truth, Bai Yan, who has such a smile, is really handsome.

Even Gu Qingwan, in the face of such a big contrast, was stunned for a while.

"You're right, I won't lie to you, I'll protect the divine water, and then when the matter here is over, I'll hand it over to you intact."

"Hmm... Well. ”

"Also, I have one more thing to promise you."

“… Well? ”

"I will take you out of the Great Toad Pool safely, and I won't let you die. You, I, and we will not die. ”

"You-"

Bai Yan chuckled and interrupted Gu Qingwan's surprised words.

"Trust your eyes, what you say, I won't lie to you, absolutely not."
