Wei Feng, Liu Wen, and Xin Yu and I went down Weishui, crossed the Laojun Ridge in the west of the Qinling Mountains and went straight to Weiyuan, talking and laughing along the way, and when we arrived at Weiyuan, it was almost dark.

Wei Feng, where do we go to find the Streak Master?

Grandpa told me that Master Liansheng lived in the Nancheng Forest in Weiyuan, and there was a sacrificial platform in the Nancheng Forest, and as long as we found that sacrificial platform, we could find Master Liansheng.

Liu Wen shook his head after hearing this, he thought for a moment, and then said slowly.

But the Nancheng Forest is a labyrinth, and now that it's almost dark, I've heard my dad say that anyone who enters the Nancheng Forest at night should not think about coming out again.

But we don't have time, grandpa told me that the cloud staff has woken up, it will last for thirty-three days to burst out of purple light, after the thirty-third day, it will fall into a deep sleep again, then we will find it will be very difficult, so we can't stop for a moment, after we find the streak master, we have to rush to Xinzhai to find Master Jianhui, we have to speed up the journey, we must reach the Nancheng Forest before dark.

Are you sure you want to enter the Southside Forest at night?

Wei Feng nodded firmly.

Alright then, let's go, it'll be dark in about an hour.

The sun slowly sets from the western mountains, the night falls into the sky, the whole valley is surrounded by darkness, the surroundings are quiet, the silence is a little scary, some unsettling, those cute and delicate little fireflies jump out of the surrounding grass and flowers, they gather in groups, their petite bodies twist and twist, as if they are moving their muscles, and as if they are showing us their dance.

It's so beautiful, I didn't expect to be able to enjoy such a beautiful view here.

Xinyu ran to the fireflies, and those fireflies were not afraid of Xinyu, and several fireflies danced around Xinyu.

Okay, okay, Xinyu, don't be stinky, let's go.

Long Yun, stop, don't run, see how I clean you up.

Come on, come on, I'll talk about it when you catch up, hahahahaha.

You stop, me.

An hour later, we came to the Nancheng Forest, the tree species here are very rare, the outermost part of the Nancheng Forest is the snow bamboo from Tianzhu, and then the inside is the water willow from Nanyue, and then the black poplar from the southern Xinjiang, and then I don't know, those bold people have only been to the black poplar, listen to my father, there are some more daring people who have crossed the black poplar, but they have never come out after they entered.

In which direction should we go?

Yes, such a large forest, where do we enter it from, and in which direction should we go?

Then we won't wait until tomorrow after dawn to go in, and we'll be able to find our way after dawn.

In this labyrinth, there is no day or night, only endless darkness.

Just when the three of us were confused, Xin Yu suddenly said.

I heard that this Nancheng Forest was designed by Wanyan Qiao Lei, and the people of the Loulan Wu clan attach great importance to fate, which is what we call Feng Shui, and they often associate their fate with the stars.

Wei Feng was broken by Xin Yu's words, and Xin Yu seemed to be deliberately prompting Wei Feng.

That's right, why didn't I think that I could find the best place in feng shui by looking for the dragon, but in this Nancheng forest, it is not enough to find the dragon, but also rely on the secret technique of Tianshui Yin and Yang, but this has to wait until the North Star twinkles in the night sky.

As time passed, the stars began to fill the sky, and the North Star appeared, which was very bright.

Wei Feng picked up the dragon search technique, we followed Wei Feng into the forest, and when we passed through the black poplar, Liu Wen suddenly panicked.

Wait, don't you feel anything wrong?

What's wrong, Liu Wen?

Look at the back, we just passed through the black poplar, why are we behind the beauty pine now?

That's right, I also remember that we just passed through the black poplar, why is it the beauty pine behind now, we won't hit the ghost wall, right?

What are you talking about, Xinyu, you must have just been dazzled, this is obviously a beauty pine.

Wei Feng walked over and touched the beauty pine, and then kicked twice, this is the beauty pine.

Wei Feng turned his head and was startled.

What's going on, I remember there was a path in front of us, why is this gone?

I saw that the dragon hunt has been spinning.

What's going on, isn't the dragon hunting trick broken, can't it?

Look, it was obviously a beauty pine just now, why did it become a black poplar again?

We rubbed our eyes, and what we saw was indeed a black poplar.

Oh my God, what the hell is going on, these trees don't really have legs.

No way, this must be a trick in the forests of Nancheng.

Now what?

Don't worry, everyone lean together, don't walk away.

Hey, Long Yun, look at the stars, they're pretty beautiful.

Oh, Liu Wen, when is this, you are still in the mood to enjoy this night view, let's find our way quickly.

I looked up at the night sky.

Wow, don't say it, it's beautiful.

Wei Feng and Xin Yu raised their heads and looked.

This is, isn't this the nebula of Pisces and Aries.

Look there, it's a basalt nebula.

Oh, I see, the eyes of Xuanwu and Pisces, look at that.

Really, the eyes of Xuanwu and Pisces are looking at Aries.

Why don't these white eyes have eyes?

Hahahahahaha, this white sheep's eyes are facing the altar, follow me.

We followed Wei Feng for about an hour.

It should be nearby.

There, look.

I saw two stone lions standing there with their heads held high, solemn and majestic, and behind them was a path paved with stone bricks.

That's it, that's the intersection of the altar, let's go.

Great, finally found.

We walked between the two stone lions.

Look at the back, it has changed again, it was still a camphor tree just now, how could it be a large-leaved boxwood again?

Look around this path, there are tall black trees.

No wonder it's called a labyrinth, it turns out that this tree species is ever-changing.

Alright, let's go.

At first, we only saw a few stone pillars, and as we walked, bamboo huts appeared behind the black trees.

It seems that this is where the people of the Wu tribe live, and the altar is not far from here.

Walking and walking, the old cypress trees around are more and more gloomy, and the wild grasses and vines everywhere are also lush and free, and then, what appears in front of us is a collapsed high wall, and the Rui beast pattern on it is still clearly visible, which are the four ancient spirit beasts, I know them, they are Bai Zhen, Teng Snake, Bai Ze, and Qilin.

Behind this crumbling high wall was a magnificent altar, on which there was a shirtless man meditating, and by the faint light I saw a tattoo on his back, which seemed to be a totem, and I was about to go up and see it clearly, when a dart suddenly flew in front of my eyes, and he noticed us.

Who.

We held our breath and watched him quietly.

Who are you and how did you find here?

He looked at us with a wary eye.

Wei Feng stepped forward and saluted him.

We're here to find the Streak Master, have you seen him?

The man came down from the altar and walked towards us.

I'm just a winning streak, what's the matter with you looking for me?

Oh great, Streak Master, we've finally found you, my grandpa told us to come to you, here's my grandpa's handwritten letter.

Who was your grandfather?

My grandfather's name is Xue Rui.

When Master Lian Sheng heard that it was Xue Rui's grandson, he relaxed his vigilance against us, Wei Feng handed him the letter, and he hurriedly took it.

After reading it, he hesitated for a moment.

I see, okay, I've got you covered. Is your grandfather okay?

He's fine, just not as physically as good as he used to be.

In that case, let's go now.

Good.

Come with me.

We followed the winning streak master, and after half a pillar of incense, we walked out of the Nancheng Forest, Liu Wen was very surprised, and I also felt a little incredible.

Master, why did you take us out of the Nancheng Forest in just half a pillar of incense?

The streak master smiled and pointed to this piece and said.

You don't know, Wanyan Qiao Lei designed this Nancheng Forest according to the secret art of the Wu Clan, this forest itself is a labyrinth, this altar is the center of this labyrinth, you only need to walk in the direction of the North Star to go out, this Nancheng Forest is easy to come in, but when you go out, if you can't find this altar, you can only wait to turn into white bones and be blown out by the wind.

Liu Wen listened to the Tao, and we were also very surprised.

Are we going straight to Guanzikou now?

No, Master, we still need to find someone, and we have to find him when we enter the tomb.

Who is he?

It is the master of Jianhui in Xinzhai.

Are you talking about the Xinzhai thief Sheng Jianhui who is accompanied by snakes all day long?

That's right, what, you know him?

Not to mention acquaintance, we are old friends.

Great, grandpa only told me the approximate location, and since you know, then we don't have to worry about spending time looking for his house.

The man is nowhere to be found, and I'm not sure if I'll be able to find him, but I know a place where he should be if nothing else.

Oh, let's go find him.
