At this time, the mountain gate slowly opened, and several people in white came from inside, and the people waiting outside quieted down, focusing on those people in white.

One of the older people cleared his throat and said, "Welcome to the Linyuan Palace Pharmacist Selection Preliminary Examination, those who pass the preliminary examination will be able to enter the Linyuan Palace to learn medicinal arts, and those with good qualifications can also become the elders' personal apprentices." Without further ado, let's start announcing the content of this preliminary assessment: Find the Cold Dream Fruit. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone sighed.

"Chill...... Cold Dream Fruit? What is it? ”

"I've never heard of it!"

"The test questions in this Linyuan Palace are really getting more and more difficult every year."

"It seems that if you want to enter the Linyuan Palace this year, I'm afraid there is no hope again."

The old man in white said: "You can form a team on your own, with a time limit of three days, I wish you good luck." ”

Jiang Yu turned his head and said, "Brother in white wants to join us?" I've seen that cold dream fruit! ”

Jiang Mo echoed: "The two of you are not as good as us, so we can take care of them on the road." ”

Ji Yan said: "It's not necessary, I just want to talk about love with my wife, if the three of you are afraid of any inconvenience, say goodbye." With that, he pulled Yun Yue away.

"Brother in white!" Jiang Yu watched the two walk away, and his mood was very low.

Seeing this, Jiang Shang comforted: "Little junior sister, don't look at it, his husband and wife are very affectionate, why do you want to intervene?" ”

Jiang Mo touched the head of the little junior sister, and said softly: "Don't be sad, little junior sister, I heard that the young master of the Ji family has an extraordinary demeanor, and he has learned a lot of medical skills at a young age. ”

Jiang Yu muttered to himself: "No matter how personable you are, how good the young master is, you can't match my liking." It would be nice if I had met my brother in white sooner. ”

The way down the mountain is always better, and in the blink of an eye, the two came to the foot of the mountain.

Yun Yue quipped: "You have been so kind to the little girl, she is going to be sad for a while." ”

Ji Yan raised her eyebrows and smiled when she heard this: "Isn't the lady jealous?" ”

"Nonsense, how can I have?"

"Ladies just rest assured, there is only a lady in my heart from beginning to end." He looked at her with affection.

Yun Yue only felt that the roots of her ears were slightly hot, and she changed the topic and asked, "Do you know the Cold Dream Fruit?" ”

Suddenly, he leaned over to Yun Yue's ear and whispered, "If the lady is willing to kiss me, I will tell the lady...... Yes! Pain! Don't drag it, lady, I say I'll say. ”

Yun Yue put down her hand with a red face, this is becoming more and more improper.

He rubbed his ears and said, "The Cold Dream Fruit is actually not a fruit, it is a kind of tears shed by a cry called the Cold Dream Butterfly. ”

"Butterfly...... Tears from butterflies? So small? ”

"The tears of a cold dream butterfly are small, but the teardrops of a group of cold dream butterflies are not small."

"I see, where should we look?"

"Ancient books record that Hanmeng butterflies like wet and good yin, and are mostly born in deep valleys and mountain streams, and we can go to places with mountain waterfalls to try our luck."

"Yes, ask the locals if there are any mountain springs and waterfalls near here."

It just so happened that an old man with a cane came to him at this time, Yun Yue stepped forward and asked politely: "Old man stay, may I ask if there is a waterfall near Linyuan City?" ”

When the old man heard this, he hurriedly said: "You can't go, you can't go, it's dangerous there!" ”

"I wonder what's in danger?"

"There is a poisonous miasma there, and few of the people who are contaminated with the miasma come back alive!"

"Old man, we also have a last resort, we must go in, and please show the way."

The old man sighed: "Alas, it doesn't matter, life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, you just need to walk along the road out of the city, you will encounter a dense forest, there are waterfalls in the depths of the dense forest." ”

It turned out to be the dense forest they passed through the day before, and after leaving the old man, the two continued to hurry.

After a while, the two returned to the dense forest where the fish was grilled yesterday, and Ji Yan looked at the river and said thoughtfully: "Lady, you see, this river seems to flow out of the forest, if you go up the river, you will definitely find the waterfall." ”

At this moment, although the sun is in the sky, the more she walks into the forest, Yun Yue only feels the cold to her bones, and her vision in front of her gradually darkens.

Suddenly, Ji Yan stopped and said, "Lady, be careful that it's a poisonous miasma!" ”

Yun Yue looked up and saw a dark red smoke barrier not far ahead.

"Lady come with me!"

"Where are you going?"

"When you go into the water, the miasma can't get into the water."

"But I can't dive......"

"It's okay, I'm here!" After that, Ji Yan pulled Yun Yue and jumped into the river on the side.

"Lady, when you get close to the miasma, remember to bury your head in the water and follow me."

"Okay."

The two of them swam in the direction of the miasma, and when they almost touched the miasma, they both buried their heads in the water.

Yun Yue had never dived into the water, she couldn't open her eyes under the water, and she could only paddle indiscriminately under the panic. In the darkness, a warm and powerful hand grabbed her hand, driving away the fear in her heart, and then swam forward.

The miasma is not too wide, and they can show their heads and breathe after two more steps.

Maybe Yun Yue kicked her legs too hard, and she was entangled in her ankles by the aquatic plants at the bottom of the river, and the more she struggled, the tighter the aquatic plants became entangled.

Her chest was getting tighter and tighter, her brain was getting dizzy, she couldn't hold it back, and she choked violently.

She didn't notice when Ji Yan let go, she lost the strength to struggle, and her body sank little by little.

When she was in a trance, she suddenly felt a softness on her lips, and a stream of air rushed into her mouth, and when she reached out and touched it, it was Ji Yan who was giving her breath.

Ji Yan finished breathing for her, untied the aquatic plants on her feet, and pulled her out of the water.

After a few breaths, she gradually recovered, and Ji Yan carried her ashore.

He warmed her hands and blamed himself: "It was my poor thinking that caused the lady's feet to be entangled in water and weeds." ”

"The one at the bottom of the river...... It's not an aquatic weed, right? ”

When Ji Yan heard this, his face changed slightly, and he said, "That's right, it's human hair." ”

Yun Yue's heart sank, a little afraid, she had tried to untie the aquatic plants on her ankles when she was struggling before, but when she touched them, she found that it was not aquatic plants, but a kind of filament with excellent toughness, like hair.

"Let's go...... Go, get out of here. She buried her head in his bosom, and the thought of the water she had drunk from the river yesterday made her sick to her stomach.

"Don't be afraid, I'll take you away." Ji Yan picked her up and walked towards the depths of the forest.

It was getting late, the cold wind was blowing, and the clammy clothes were clinging to the body, as if they were in an ice cellar.

Ji Yan lit a fire, baking the soaked clothes of the two.

"Ah Yan, do you know what that cold dream fruit is used for?"

"It's usually used to preserve corpses."

"I always feel that this Linyuan Palace is full of strangeness."

"Why does the lady want to enter the Linyuan Palace?"

"Do you know how you fainted yesterday?"

"All I remember was a terrible headache and then I lost consciousness."

"Do you know about the puppet army?"

"Puppet army? I haven't heard of it. ”

Sure enough, he only remembered common sense things, and he didn't remember other things that had happened or people he had met.

"Your fainting is related to the puppet army, and the puppet army is related to the Linyuan Palace."

"I see, I will go wherever the lady goes."
