The rain falls on the plantains, beating rhythmic sounds.

Ji Xiang couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, she got up in her clothes, lit the lamp, and wrote a letter to Ye Su on the table.

Ye Nuan found it, and now he is in the south of the yin, the northwest land.

Ji Xiang was also surprised, it turned out that Ye Nuan was the one who robbed the man with the little princess.

The ink paused for a long time, seeping into the other side.

“…… can rest assured, Ye Nuan is still safe, she has experienced this big thing now, and there will be depression in her heart, so it is better to let her relax outside. She thought about it, and didn't chase the little princess over, and said that she wanted to fight Ye Nuan head-on.

After folding the letter, Ji Xiang sighed, she took the candle and went out softly. The maid outside the couch was sleeping peacefully, and Zhang Baofu was also huddled with Huanxi and fell asleep.

Raindrops fell from the eaves, and the wind blew, making Ji Xiang's hairs stand up coldly.

Xie Fu released the news, Xie Keyan was waiting for the word boudoir, looking for a good son-in-law. As soon as this news came out, Kyoto was in an uproar. As small as fourteen, as big as standing, as long as it is human, they will find a matchmaker to come to the door to propose.

Not to mention Xie Keyan, just looking at Ji Xiang, he felt that these people were too self-aware.

When the sleepiness came up, Ji Xiang went back to bed and fell asleep.

The next day

Ji Xiang was woken up early by Xie Keyan.

"Ji Xiang, you said you wanted to help me." Xie Keyan took the baggage, she changed into men's clothes, and she looked delicate and talented. Ji Xiang slept a little dazed, and for a while she didn't know why she was dressed like this.

chattered a lot in her ear, and Ji Xiang remembered it. Today, someone from Xie Mansion came on a blind date, and she wanted to hide, so she asked Ji Xiang to go to Yuntai Mountain.

Mt. Undai is a sacred mountain on the outskirts of Kyoto.

There are clouds and mist in all seasons, like a fairyland. But ordinary people can't go there, and if they say they go in, they will be deceived by the fog and go deep, and there is no place to bury them.

The eldest prince was obsessed with alchemy, and once he entered Yuntai Mountain at the beginning of the year, he never came out again. Therefore, Yuntai Mountain can also be regarded as a forbidden place for the royal family.

"I know a shortcut, let's sneak up from there, no one will find out." There is a hidden path on the east side of Yuntai Mountain, this road she walked with her senior brother when she was a child, when the senior brother was almost missing, and it took the master almost half a month to find the person.

When Ji Xiang heard it, he only felt that it was wrong.

Half a moon has disappeared, how can a child survive in the mountains.

Zhang Bangfu wagged his tail and glanced at her.

One person and one pig think the same, this sacred mountain, I am afraid that it is the last energy station site.

No longer hesitating, the two of them set foot on the road.

All the way to Yuntai Mountain, Ji Xiang's heart went up and down.

On the other hand, Xie Keyan doesn't seem to be afraid at all. Asked curiously, Xie Keyan took it for granted, "I think this sacred mountain has a fate with me." ”

This has to start when she was a child, she was greedy for fun, and at that time she would come to Yuntai Mountain, the master would pick medicine, the senior brother practiced martial arts, and she was picking flowers everywhere.

It is said that there are dirty things in this Yuntai Mountain, but Xie Keyan is not. She pointed to her eyes and said with a smile: "I just told the master about this, and he didn't believe it." I have seen the fairy of Yuntai Mountain, it is a nine-colored deer, it is the mountain god of Yuntai Mountain, and the sparkling evil is beautiful. I've always felt that the mountain gods are protecting me, and even if I go into the depths, nothing will happen. ”

This is probably the heroine's aura.

Ji Xiang muttered, envy and jealousy.

Entering Yuntai Mountain, Ji Xiang asked Ren Wusheng to go back.

The latter shook his head, dutifully devoted to his duties, and said that Yuntai Mountain was dangerous, and he must not leave one step.

"Okay, whatever you want." Xie Keyan walked a little closer to Ji Xiang, the towering ancient trees pierced the clouds, and the big trees connected to the roots were like soldiers on defense, and everyone was afraid and in awe.

Babbling.

There was a hare jumping in front of them, and there was a line of sight in the dark, and I am afraid that only Xie Keyan smiled as if he had come to his own house.

All the way to the wooden hut where he settled, there was an open space in front of him, Xie Keyan said that this was once a hunter's wooden hut, and he usually lived here for a month, and he would only go back when he caught a large amount of goods.

Now in this weather, the wooden house is empty.

Ren Wusheng sprinkled the surroundings with realgar and Xie Keyan's secret medicine to prevent snakes and insects from entering the house.

The cabin is small enough to accommodate two people. Ren Wusheng could only make a simple residence in the tree, Ji Xiang hooked the corners of his mouth, and his heart was washed by the beautiful scenery in the forest.

"It should be good to spend some time in this isolated place." Xie Keyan clapped her hands, and she sorted out half of her things. The main thing is also that it is simple inside, except for the firewood is some iron pots, as well as cured bacon and stored rice grain.

Ji Xiang nodded, here, you can forget all the unhappy.

Her anxiety in recent days has finally improved, she took a deep breath, and went into the house to help Xie Keyan continue to tidy up.

When the sky darkened, the three of them simply ate a little stuffy food, and then lit firewood and gathered together. Zhang is rich and easy to raise, holding a vegetable melon, sleeping after eating, and gnawing when he wakes up.

A wolf howl was heard in the distance, and Ren Wu stood guarded.

Zhang Baofu also pricked up his ears, and then hid in Ji Xiang's arms.

"It's a wolf."

Xie Keyan glanced at the pig, "If you really come, throw this pig out, and you can stop it for a while." ”

Poof.

Ji Xiang looked at Zhang Baofu's angry eyes, and couldn't hold back for a while. cough cough twice, awkwardly change the subject. She pointed around, "Tomorrow we fence this circle, so we don't have to be afraid of these wolves." Ren Wusheng, I'm going to trouble you to work hard tonight, pay more attention to your surroundings, and I'll wake up later and hand over to you. ”

"No, ma'am." As soon as Ren Wusheng's voice fell, he left with his sword.

Xie Keyan frowned, "He used to be like this?" Senior brother really didn't teach well, what kind of attitude is that. ”

Ji Xiang didn't speak, she roasted the fire, the stars fell brightly, and soon, the night was late.

In his sleep, Ji Xiang was also unstable.

She dreamed of a gray desert full of sand and gravel, and the wind swept up the heat waves. In the dark yellow and blackened desert, a group of black cavalry walked with difficulty.

Three camels, slowly supporting four or five people.

They all had no strength, and the scorching sun was in the sky, evaporating everyone's water and life.

"Xianggong!"

Ji Xiang ran, she went to see them one by one, no, no, this is not either. Finally, at the forefront, I saw Chen Jiean.

The man seemed to be emaciated to the point of being rickety, like those old men who knew the destiny of heaven, and the injuries they suffered in Shencheng had not yet subsided, and they had other scars.

His legs, limping, "Gu Yi, let everyone find a place to rest." ”

The sun is so poisonous that they started in the morning and are now at the limit. Gu Yi immediately arranged for everyone to set up camp, and the hot sand made the soles of their feet hurt.

No one said a word of bitterness, and no one complained.

The shade of the sand dunes was full of tired people, and Chen Xie An's bite on the dry flatbread, "If we want to leave Mongolia, we must pass through this area if we don't let those people know." Let everyone bear with it again, and also, there is not much water, save some drink. ”

Gu Yi nodded, and he handed the water bladder to Chen Jie'an. "General, you haven't drunk all the way, your mouth is white, take a sip."

"No, I'm okay. You go to give Yu Nan, he is suffering from heat stroke and needs water. Let Gu Yi go faster, Chen Xie An leaned on the sand, he opened his eyes, looked at the air, and unconsciously touched his right cheek.

It was as if someone was touching him there.

"Xianggong ......" Ji Xiang gently took his hand away, and tears flowed down unconsciously. This is a dream, she told herself that this is just a dream, thinking about it day and night, she will see Chen Jie'an suffering.

But it was so real that she couldn't help but want to catch it.

Chen Xie An seemed to really sense it, he looked at Ji Xiang's position sharply, as if at that moment, he already knew that Ji Xiang was in front of him.

“…… Xiang'er, is that you? ”

After a long time, he shook his head self-deprecatingly.

Even if Xiang'er was the reincarnation of a fairy, he would not have such a ability, he thought of Ji Xiang's smile in bitter joy, and the corners of his mouth hooked.

Smack.

A drop of water fell on his forehead, and he reached out to touch it, and it was dry. Is it a delusion?

"General, General." Someone came to report, "The subordinates have found something strange on the other side of the dune. ”

"Let's go, let's see."

As soon as he got up, Chen Jie'an sensitively found that his sword was a little heavier. He put his doubts in his heart and arrived at the place with a blank face.

It was a green, forested place.

It's just that Chen Jie'an hasn't seen these things. Those plants, huge four or five people can't hug together. It has no branches and leaves, and its appearance is green and strip-shaped.

"General, what is this?" They are in Kyoto, some in the south, and they have never been to the desert at all, how can they know about this cactus.

Ji Xiang couldn't wait to show up immediately and tell Chen Jie'an, cut it, cut it, and you can drink water.

This is the water storage tank in the desert, Ji Xiang tried to yell and make a fuss next to Chen Jiean.

"I don't know, let's not get close." Chen Jie'an had a calm face, he said so, but he only felt that something was left behind in his heart, and it seemed that a voice was telling him that if you don't go, it will be a great regret.

"It would be nice if you could eat it, it's been a long time since you've eaten anything new, and there's so little water......

Gu Yi also came over when he heard the sound, and when he saw such a scene, he shook his head.

Chen Xie An was silent for a while, "Wait." ”

He moved cleanly, and went down with his sword in hand.

Looking at the strange desert tree, he pursed his lips and stabbed it with his sword.

Gu Yi asked in surprise, "General, what are you doing here?" ”

"Take a water bladder or something else that holds water." He tilted to the side and looked at the tassels blown by the wind.

The water went from the tree to the water bladder, and Gu Yi shouted in surprise, so much water, more than enough to fill the water bladder.

The next road is good to go.

"General, you are really a man of God, how did you know that this thing has water?" Gu Yi took a sip of cool water and couldn't wait for someone to send it to Yu Nan.

Chen Xie An looked at his sword firmly, and said softly: "It's her, my intuition tells me that she is by my side." She also asked me to stab that sword just now. ”

Who?

Gu Yi looked around, "General? ”

He didn't explain, but touched the tassel and smiled.

Xiang'er, wait for me.
