The archway of Yunling Valley is still the same as in the past, looking majestic and abrupt from afar, the steps under the mountain are just plopping bluestone slabs, surrounded by barren weeds, and the appearance seen during the Chinese New Year last year is the same.

Lingxi remembered the scenery of Mount Emei and smiled. Well, the Golden Nest kennel is not as good as its own.

She dusted off the floating soil under the archway and sat down.

"What's wrong?" Yun Hao walked over.

Lingxi raised his eyes to look at him, and he also stretched out his hand to himself here that day. At that time, I always felt that my body was like duckweed, and there were no branches to rely on, and my senior brother gave me warmth, so she leaned in.

She has experienced so much in the past year or so, trusted, looked forward to, sweetened, and disappointed, but no matter what, the two can still talk well, and it is not a failure.

Unconsciously, her mood has also stabilized, this is growth.

"It's okay, I'm tired, rest." She smiled slightly.

Xiaoxian Xiaoya followed from behind: "Who made the two of you go so fast all the way, you can't walk!" Xiao Xian and I will go up first, you guys go slowly! ”

Xiao Xian muttered: "Sister, do you dare to carry your own luggage by yourself?" Three people don't add up to as much as you alone! ”

Yun Hao laughed: "Let it go, I'll help you get it!" ”

Lingxi stood up: "Okay, let's go, I've rested enough!" Instead, he jumped up and went up first. Went home.

Yun Hao looked at her back from behind, how long had it been since he had seen her with such brisk steps? In the year that she was not by her side, how much did she carry alone?

It's like a piece of solid ice melting, and then little by little it is wrapped and frozen from the inner core, rational and sober.

……

The four of them walked along the steps and swayed back to the courtyards of the division.

As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, Xiao Xian dropped his things and sat on the porch: "I don't care, I'm tired, sister, the rest of the work is yours!" ”

"If you don't call now, you won't be able to call in the future." Xiao Ya muttered softly and winked at Ling Xi.

Lingxi understood Xiaoya's thoughts, returned to the place where she grew up, and remembered that her younger brother might soon have his own life, and her heart was sour and happy.

"Okay, let's clean up together, just a little place, four people and eight hands, and it will be done in a while. Xiaoya, go clean up the kitchen, dinner hasn't arrived yet! ”

"Hehe, then I'll go fetch water......" Yun Hao looked at the three people in front of him, a little helpless, but said with doting.

It's like going back to those days when I grew up in the mountains without worry.

It would be nice if you could live like this forever without those murderous machines hidden in the shadows.

But how can everything be as people want?

When I finished cleaning up and looked up again, it was already night falling, and there were scattered starlight flickering.

Lingxi dropped the rag in his hand and shouted to Xiaoya: "Don't wait for me to eat in a while." ”

He turned to Yun Hao again and said, "Is the master still in the secret room in the back mountain?" I'd like to check it out first. ”

"I'll go with you! It's going to get dark soon, and there are a lot of traps in the back mountains, so you haven't been there much since you lost your memory. He poured the water from the bucket into the water tank and wiped his hands on his clothes, "Let's go!" Take a look and come back. ”

Lingxi nodded, she didn't refuse, she had only gone to the back mountain a handful of times since she crossed, and every time the master went with her.

There are two magical springs in the secret room of the back mountain of Yunling Valley, one is a geothermal hot spring, and the other is an underground clear spring. The spring is symmetrical, and the spring water is day and night, with one cold and one hot convection with each other. It is an excellent place for martial arts students to practice physical healing.

Otherwise, three hundred years ago, the founding patriarch of Yunling Valley would not have chosen to start a sect here in this vast Cangyun Mountain Range.

That year, Lingxi was taken to Houshan Hot Spring by Gu Chaosheng to recuperate at first, but later when he got better, he went to the library to find books to read. Later, she felt that soaking in the hot spring and reading a book was the most comfortable.

And since Gu Chaosheng's retreat, this mountain has been like a forbidden place, and no one has come to it again.

The branches and vines that grow around make it even more difficult to find a path in the already desolate back mountain.

Ling Xi followed Yun Hao cautiously step by step, for fear that he would take a wrong step and let the hidden weapon escape.

"The organs in the back mountain are all arranged by the heads of the past dynasties, and there are all kinds of gossip formations inside, which look ordinary on the surface, but in fact, they are all-encompassing, and if you are not careful, you will never be able to get out if you go in." Yun Hao uncovered the branch in front of him and walked over, but his hand was not put down, and he turned around and waited for Lingxi.

"I ...... I don't remember. Lingxi cat bent down and walked over.

"Well, I know you don't remember. We actually used to play here a lot when we were kids. Yun Hao walked in front of Ling Xi again, "When the little master taught us the art of derivation, he brought us here for assessment. ”

"Is it here? I don't even remember learning the art of derivation. Ling Xiluo was slightly surprised.

"Gossip derivation is the foundation of our Yunling Valley, and the sect is the only one of us, how can we not learn it?" He paused before continuing, "It's just that you've never qualified. ”

“……”

There was a sullen laugh from the front, and then he said, "It's here." The stone gate is still closed. The master should not be out of the customs yet. ”

Lingxi was looking down at the road, he stopped suddenly, and he accidentally bumped into it, fortunately he walked slowly, just touched it lightly, and then stopped.

Yun Hao went to grab her waist in time, and Lingxi instantly wanted to break free.

"Don't move, there's a trick here, there's a cliff down there." The voice above his head was a little anxious.

Lingxi no longer moved, but his gaze followed his hand.

I saw that the trees and weeds that were still around me just now suddenly moved and moved by themselves, and in a blink of an eye, I was already standing on the edge of the cliff, although it was not high, but it was more than enough to kill her.

She looked up at Yun Hao: "Thank you, senior brother." ”

"Be careful, let's go!" I let go of the hand around my waist.

This feel...... Well...... It seems that I have really lost weight recently.

Ling Xi exhaled, becoming more and more careless, wishing that every step would fall on Yun Hao's footprints.

The stone door in front of him was still tightly closed. In front of the stone gate, there is a small stone table and two stone benches, on which are carved chessboards, and the checkered patterns have also been somewhat weathered.

Ling Xi looked around and asked, "Senior brother, can you sit on this stone bench?" Is there a mechanism? ”

"Hehe, it's okay, sit down, you and I used to play chess here when we were young." He smiled and replied, "Don't be nervous, there's nothing to do here." ”

But suddenly I heard Lingxi say, "It's not right...... Brother. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Senior brother, no one has come here for so long, why is there not a single old branch and rotten leaf on this stone table." After she finished speaking, she felt a little infiltrated, and couldn't help but get closer to Yun Hao. It's still a girl in the end.。。

Yun Hao approached and swept the stone table with his hand: "Well, the floating soil is not thick. Odd. ”
