"When you say that, there really is!" Qing Ci sniffed carefully, and indeed smelled a smell of wine.

"The smell of wine seems to come from that stream. Qiao Sanniang's eyes were a little vigilant, and she stared at the stream in the distance and said.

"Miss Qiao's perception is really keen, and she can smell the smell of wine from this stream from so far away. Wan Qian scarlet said with a meaningful smile.

Qiao Sanniang frowned secretly, but a faint smile appeared on her face: "Miss Wan Qian doesn't know, Sanniang has opened a wine shop for a few years, so she is naturally very sensitive to the taste of wine. ”

"So, this stream is not an ordinary stream, but wine?" asked Hua Chengcheng with a wink, feeling very novel.

"It's a good wine, but ...... But it's no ordinary wine. Wan Qian said with a smile.

"It's not ordinary wine, isn't it still what kind of elixir and jade dew can't be?" An Ruyue pouted and said.

Wan Qian raised his eyebrows and shook his head, "This is the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, not the Yaochi Wonderland." There are many poisons that send people to hell, but there are none of them that help people soar to immortals. ”

"What do you mean...... Is this wine poisonous?" asked Hua Chengcheng in surprise.

"Not only is it poisonous, but it's the most poisonous wine in the world. Wan Qian replied.

As soon as the words fell, everyone was stunned.

Everyone present knows that the plover is a bird of prey larger than an eagle, black and bare-eyed, likes to feed on snakes, and its feathers show a purple-green luster in the sun, which is highly poisonous. If you put the feathers of a donkey into the wine, the wine becomes a highly poisonous wine.

"The old poison is so big, and there is a huge stream, and all that flows in it is wine, tsk...... Needless to say, the flowers and plants that can still grow on the banks of this stream must also be extremely poisonous. Qing Ci slammed his mouth and said.

As he spoke, several people had already walked to the side of this wine stream, and the rich aroma of wine rushed to their faces, if they didn't know that this wine was highly poisonous, it really made people want to reach out and grab a handful to taste.

The clear Lujiu Creek is full of pebbles of all sizes, and the banks are full of flowers and plants of different colors, many of which are even familiar to the painting, but without exception, these flowers and plants are poisonous.

Skirting the stream, Wan Qian Scarlet led a few people to the edge of the bamboo hut and said to them: "You can stay here for a few days, and if you go inside, it will be more dangerous." ”

Several people looked at each other, but they didn't mean to ask again.

After a few words, Wan Qian left the bamboo forest. After she left, An Ruyue said with a little worry: "Is it too risky for us to rush into the valley with her like this?"

"Don't tell me, you can't see what she likes. Ji Wuxin said lightly.

As soon as these words came out, the faces of Hua Chengcheng and Cang Wunian changed slightly.

Qing Ci clasped his hands on his chest and said noncommittally: "What about your favorite? There are many women who like our pavilion master." It's a pity! In this world, only Miss Allure and our pavilion master are a match made in heaven, and the others should stand aside. ”

"Qing Ci!" "Hua Chengcheng glanced at him with some disgust.

Qing Ci smiled, and was about to speak again, but saw Cang Wunian frowning and said, "Okay, if you come, you will be safe." Shadow Half Makeup is now too busy to take care of himself, and before he solves the problem of the Dixing Palace, I'm afraid he won't have the heart to disadvantage us. ”

Wan Qi, who left Cang Wunian and his party, quickly came to Ying Ban Makeup's residence, a very ordinary-looking courtyard. However, other people's courtyards are planted with trees and flowers, birds and fish, or stacked stones for landscaping, but the courtyard of the shadow is empty, except for a acacia tree planted in front of his own house.

Despite this, the disciples of Shadow Half Makeup never thought that their strange master planted this acacia tree for some kind of acacia, because no one knew how long this tree had existed, they only knew that Shadow Half Makeup had to water it with wine from the Liquor Creek every day, and every half a month, the best part of the poisonous plants growing in the valley would be buried at the roots of the tree with poisonous insects as nutrients.

Acacia beans are already poisonous, and the acacia tree, which grows more and more vigorously under the careful cultivation of Shadow Half Makeup, produces beans that are even more poisonous.

Walking into the courtyard, Wan Qian Scarlet didn't take much effort to see the shadow half-makeup standing alone in front of the acacia tree, only to see him looking up with his head up, staring at the canopy motionlessly, probably watching whether the acacia beans were growing well this season.

"Master. Wan Qian walked behind Ying Ban Makeup and whispered.

"Well, how many of them are settled?" Shadow didn't look back, and his tone sounded very calm.

"Yes. Wan Qian Scarlet didn't say much, and answered softly.

"Without the permission of the teacher, you brought outsiders to this Linjie Island without authorization, Fei'er, you are really becoming more and more presumptuous. The tone of Ying Ban Makeup is still peaceful, but it gives people an invisible coercion.

Wan Qian Scarlet hurriedly knelt on his knees, lowered his head and clenched his fists, and said, "The disciples don't dare, the disciples brought them here, in fact, for the master." ”

"For me?" Shadow Half Makeup chuckled and turned around.

"The apprentice always remembered the painting in the master's bedroom, and the master also said that if he could sketch the facial features of the man in the painting, he might be able to recall the past, so the apprentice brought them. Wan Qian said sincerely.

"You're filial, but how do you know what the man in the painting looks like?" said Shadow Half-Makeup noncommittally.

"Didn't Master notice that one of the three men who came with the apprentice was almost identical to the man in the painting?"

Ying Ban paused, and the first thing that appeared in his mind was the figure of Cang Wunian, and then his eyes were slightly condensed, and he said in a deep voice: "Are you talking about the man wearing the mask?"

"Exactly, in fact, he is the master who served his life on the east bank of the Luo River. Wan Qian replied.

"Oh?" Shadow Half-Makeup's strange voice rose in a tone, as if she was in some interest.

He put his hands behind his back, slowly paced a few steps back and forth in front of Wan Qi's scarlet clothes, suddenly laughed, reached out and helped Wan Qian Scarlet up from the ground, and said: "Scarlet, why didn't you explain to the teacher earlier after bringing your husband back? ”

Wan Qi's face turned slightly red, and he said in a low voice: "Master, he ...... He is not a husband in vain. ”

"What?" "Shadow Makeup's voice suddenly raised, as if he suddenly became displeased, "The man who can make my most proud apprentice of Shadow Makeup willing to work for it, if it weren't for the person you like, would you surrender your identity like this?"

Wan Qian lowered her head, her appearance looked a little cramped and shy, "Yes...... It's just wishful thinking. ”

"How can this be reasonable!" Shadow Half Makeup was furious, and flicked his sleeves fiercely, "The disciple of the deity has taken a fancy to him, it is his three lives of luck, you go and bring him, the deity has to take a good look, what kind of heavenly posture he was born into, and why did he turn you away." ”

"Master must not be angry, the disciple does not want to force him, this matter ...... Let's take a long-term view. Wan Qian Scarlet hurriedly persuaded him.

"Think about it in the long run, Hmph, Scarlet, you are really naïve! How thin a man is in the world, you don't even catch him when he is so fashionable and still by your side, and when one woman after another appears around him, you don't even have a place to cry!"

Hearing this, Wan Qian Scarlet secretly smiled bitterly in her heart: Why do you need one painting after another? A single painting is enough to crush her into the dust. Such a beautiful woman as pure and kind as Qinglian actually made her heart, who thought that she had long been more poisonous than a snake and scorpion, couldn't make much ill intentions.

It's not that she didn't think about killing Hua Allure for a hundred years, but she thinks she's not a stupid woman. In the human world for so many years, it has long been common for those people to take extreme measures to deal with their rivals in order to get their love, but what is the final result? In exchange for the hatred of the lover in the heart.

Things that harm others and benefit themselves will be done by Wan Qian Scarlet, but things that harm others and are not beneficial to oneself, Wan Qian Scarlet Yi disdains to do. She also has her pride, no matter how much she loves and how desperately she wants to get it, she will fundamentally defeat her opponent.

"Master, the apprentice has his own plans. The apprentices only begged the master to promise me to take them to Yuanqiao Mountain to find what they needed. Wan Qian said softly.

"Take them up the mountain so that they can take away the ice silk? You stupid girl, people didn't promise to marry you, and you started eating inside and out? Could it be that you don't know the meaning of ice silk to being a teacher?" said in an unkind tone.

Mentioning the significance of ice silk to the shadow half makeup, Wan Qian Scarlet couldn't help but fall silent. She didn't know how long Ying Ban Makeup had been on this island, but she knew that a large part of the reason he guarded this mountain year after year was to obtain ice silk.

This ice silkworm is not a very delicate thing, every three hundred years will spin silk cocoons, if the cocoon into a butterfly can give birth to offspring, until the second three hundred years can have more ice silkworms to make silk cocoons.

This should have been a virtuous circle, even if it was once in three hundred years, if the number of ice silkworms was large enough, the ice silk would not be so precious.

But the tragedy is the tragedy, the ice silk needed for the shadow half makeup must be the silk drawn from the cocoon that the ice silkworm has just formed. If you wait until the ice silkworm turns into an ice butterfly and breaks out of the cocoon, the remaining cocoon clothes will lose its effect. And if you directly seize the cocoon that the ice silkworm has just formed, the ice silkworm that turns into a chrysalis will die.

If that's all there is to it, he prefers to die and immortal, and when Shadow Half-Makeup first collected the ice silk, I don't know if he was crazy or if he was negligent, and the highly toxic things he carried with him polluted the habitat of the ice silkworms, causing those ice silkworms to almost perish en masse because of him.

Since then, the number of ice silkworms has decreased sharply, and although Shadow has given them a new place to live, the number and quality of the ice silkworms that have been bred later have not been satisfactory, and even the production of ice silk, including ice silk, has become scarce.
