Chapter Seventy-Three: The Stone House in the Valley

"Prince Mingjian! The last general is just following orders... Otherwise, you're going to lose your head.." The guard's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly defended: "If the prince can let this entourage take off his helmet, let me wait for me to verify my identity, and I will have an explanation for the chief." ”

"You really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall!" "Xi Yu'er was furious, "Speaking of which, you still suspect the queen mother and me!"

"The prince .. This.." It is said that in extraordinary times, the princes and ministers took the lead in setting an example and took the initiative to abide by various prohibitions. But Prince Yu'er, who has always been modest, went against the norm and made such an unreasonable move.

"Could it be that Prince Yu'er has a ghost in his heart?" the guard grunted in his heart, and a smile bloomed on his face.

"Where is Prince Yu'er, you are a top-notch existence among all the princes, and at such an age, you will shine in the palace examination.." As he spoke, the guard put the two golden forks behind his back, stretched out his left hand and waved it constantly.

Standing behind the guard, the lieutenant general was a crab spirit illusion, wearing gray soft armor, and holding a narrow-bladed knife with a length of more than five feet on all six legs.

"The prince is kind-hearted, and he is considered for his humble duties everywhere, and he is grateful for his humble duties. The heavily armored man behind Xi Yu'er let out a hoarse middle-aged male voice.

"But the Dragon Palace prohibits, don't dare to disobey, you should obey the order. As soon as he finished speaking, the man stretched out his hands and gently took off his helmet.

"Whew~" The deputy general who was moving the ground crab couldn't help but stop, and looked at the man with everyone, and when he saw the man's face clearly, he gasped.

If you use one word to describe a man's appearance, it is ugly. If you use four words, it is extremely ugly.

I saw that the man's wrinkled face was full of sarcomas of different sizes, hanging all over his cheeks and neck, the tips of the tumors had scabbed, the tumor was red, and the blood seemed to burst out at any time.

When the guard saw Xi Xiao's respectful face, he took a sluggish breath, and the head of the snake forgot to spit out the snake letter. When he came back to his senses, he snatched his tongue back with a thud, fearing that he would be infected with this terrible strange disease, and quickly stepped away and made a gesture of please.

"Prince, you go slowly."

The soldiers also reacted, and they all dispersed in an uproar. Two rhinoceros guards stood at the gates, struggling to pull the wide Sikkim arch open, and they avoided it far away.

"Hmph!" Xi Yu'er's face changed slightly, snorted coldly, and took the lead out of the north gate. When he touched the prohibition of the Great Closed Palace, the golden waist pendant suddenly emitted a golden light, enveloping Xi Yu'er's whole body.

Xi Xiao stepped forward unhurriedly, stretched out his hand to grab the hem of Xi Xiao's clothes, and the golden light instantly filled the air, wrapping Xi Xiao as well, and the two passed the ban without hindrance, and gradually moved away from the palace.

"Sending you a thousand miles must be goodbye in the end. Brother Xiao, let's say goodbye and meet again in the future. ”

Xi Yu'er carefully led Xi Xiao, walked out of more than ten miles in a zigzag, came to a lush mountain depression, and after confirming that no one was following, he bowed.

"Thank you and the queen for saving your life. Xi Xiao replied: "That's right. As your brother, I have an obligation to remind you that your acting skills are really a bit exaggerated."

"Hey, hey.. The queen mother counted me down like this. Xi Yu'er sneered and said: "It's still Brother Xiao who is thoughtful and has made a disguise costume in advance, otherwise it will be a matter of two to say whether he can get out of the Dragon Palace today." ”

Xi Xiao pulled out the sarcomas on his face one by one, and then tore off the skin full of folds along the hairline, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"This is what the frontier has obtained, and I didn't expect it to come in handy today. Just send it here, and we will meet again. ”

"Goodbye!" Xi Yu'er walked like a fly, and disappeared into the sheep intestine path in the blink of an eye.

Xi Xiao watched him leave, hesitated for a moment, and walked aimlessly towards the west.

In the evening of the next day, Xi Xiao came to an inaccessible valley, and saw two simple stone houses, one large and one small, at the foot of the mountain not far away, with three small fields planted in front of the houses, and the crops in the fields were purple, green, and orange from left to right.

In the field, there was an old man in a hat on his head, lightly wielding an iron hoe to weed the field, followed by a little girl of about three or four years old, wearing a red cotton jacket, combing sheep's horns, holding a kettle in his hand, and constantly watering each plant.

Xi Xiao traveled all the way to the west for more than 20 miles, in order to avoid the pursuit of the Dragon Palace, where the steep and steep will go where, although the scenery is getting better and better, but there is no wild fruit to find, it has not eaten for a few days, and it is already hungry at this time.

"I have to ask this old man for some food." Xi Xiao touched his shriveled stomach, as if he saw that the sweet melons and fruits planted in this field couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

The old man in the field seemed to feel Xi Xiao as well, looked up, looked away for a while, and then bent down and began to swing the hoe.

After a cup of tea, Xi Xiao came to the old man and stood ten zhang away, and after taking a closer look at the crops in the field, he was a little stunned.

I saw that the crops in the three fields are all sunflower-like, but the color is not the same, and the roots are extremely dense, from the calyx will begin to grow roots of different thicknesses, intertwined together, adjacent crops between the roots of the roots have been connected and symbiotic, as long as one is uprooted, all the crops in a field can be pulled out.

The black soil of the planting site is also a little weird, it looks like soil but not soil, and it is slowly turning like a fluid.

Xi Xiao had read the "Hundred Herbs Sutra" roughly, but the flowers of the same color in front of him were not recorded, which was obviously extremely scarce. Just as Xi Xiao was about to urge the four-colored pupils to take a closer look, an old voice came slowly.

"Child, do you need help?" The old man looked kind, and the little girl behind him also stopped watering, raised her little head and looked at Xi Xiao curiously, and said with a smile: "Oh, old man, your little mouse is uninvited." ”

Xi Xiao heard the old man's question, only felt like a spring breeze, and was about to open his mouth to beg for food, when he heard the voice of the old woman in his ears, and instantly the hair on his whole body stood upside down, and a cool air on his back reached the brain acupoint, and he hurriedly sacrificed the green armor illusion double axe to make a starting gesture, and looked at the two people in front of him carefully.

"Oh no!" Xi Xiao was annoyed, this secluded place, dare to build houses and enclose fields, not afraid of bandits and ancient beasts, either ignorant and fearless or powerful, obviously the other party is the latter.

What made Xi Xiao feel even more chilling and desperate was that the other party's cultivation realm could not be perceived, and there was only one possibility, that is, the two sides were not in the same realm.

"The strong man of the adversity realm!" Xi Xiao was overwhelmed by hunger, and rushed to go without thinking about it, and now he wanted to raise his axe and kill himself.

"Little brother, don't listen to the old woman's nonsense. The old man smiled and reached into his sleeve, took out a few fist-sized red fruits and said, "This is a honey peach, very delicious, let's talk while eating." ”

"What if I don't eat it?" Xi Xiao stabilized his mind and said coldly pretending to be calm.

"The old man saw that you were hungry, and kindly invited you to eat peaches, so you don't have to blame the good people. The old man didn't care, but still looked kind.

"I'm seriously injured, I'm afraid I'm not the ideal candidate for the two seniors, so I won't eat the peaches, can you let me go?"

"It's true that you have injuries on you, and they do hurt very badly. But your soul is extremely powerful, in the deep sea realm, it is considered to be the top existence, and it is the best candidate for the old man to test the poison!"

"Old woman, don't scare him anymore. The old man shook his head and smiled: "We have no grievances with you, and we will definitely not harm you for no reason." Poison testing is voluntary, and if you don't want to, it's up to you. ”

"Really?!" Xi Xiao blurted out, and after seeing the old man's affirmative eyes, he raised his feet and left.

"Farewell!"

"Wait!" the old man said unhurriedly, "Little brother, can you think clearly?"

Seeing that Xi Xiao was unmoved, the old man continued to himself: "There is a deep sea realm powerhouse outside Baizhang, who has been waiting behind you, and I have been following you for a long time, are you sure you can retreat?"

"What?" Xi Xiao's body froze in place for an instant, and he turned his head to look at the old man in surprise.

"Don't you believe it?" As soon as the old man's voice fell, his right hand flicked his orchid fingers, and a phantom flew out silently, shooting towards the direction of Taniguchi as fast as lightning.

Xi Xiao looked at it, and it was actually a living creature shaped like an ancient cicada, but its size was larger than that of ordinary ancient cicadas, and its mouth faintly emitted golden light, and it seemed that its teeth were extremely sharp.
