"This is the place."

Xue Wen looked at the surrounding environment, looking at the flickering compass in his hand from time to time, but his face was a little solemn.

The five-colored light runes on the compass flashed, but it seemed a little disordered, the pointer turned faster and faster, and then it began to spin backwards, and the next moment, Xue Wen let out a deep sigh, and a huge thunder suddenly roared on the ground, as if it was going to split the earth in half!

The barrier was forcibly broken again, but the compass in Xue Wen's hand was emitting a puff of white smoke, which was obviously deeply damaged, making him frown in distress.

The smoke disappeared, and the scene that appeared in front of the two of them was shocking-

This place is no longer the peach blossom dance when I came last time, gorgeous and dazzling, but a green bamboo forest that cannot be seen at a glance!

The secluded fence is upright, the emerald sky is all over the sky, but it is scattered in the denseness, and at a glance, it seems to be sucked into the heart by the green of this curtain, which makes people unable to help themselves.

Xue Wen took a few more looks, but felt that the emerald color in front of him was refreshing, and his whole body was warm, so he wanted to lie down in the bamboo forest and fall asleep.

The last glimmer of vigilance rose to his heart, and he exclaimed, "Long live your heart!" ”

Before the words fell, Emperor Zhaoyuan's long sword was already out of its sheath, and under the cold flash, the bamboos around his body fell together, and then turned into several sections silently, and fell to the ground.

The two of them only felt a sudden burst in front of them, as if this suitability had been interrupted, but the trance of Fang Cai was finally eliminated.

Before I could breathe a sigh of relief, I felt a fog in front of me, as if a white mist was slowly rising-

The mist accompanied the gradually darkening sky, and the shadow of the bamboo gradually blurred, and the crystal dew drops fell on the cheeks of the two, but it was a chill to the bone.

Gradually, the wind blew into the forest, and the bamboo forest danced more wantonly, and the sound of the wind mixed with the sound of the bamboo branches swaying, and there seemed to be a peculiar rhyme in the middle.

The rhyme was like an illusion at first, and then it filled the ears, as if all the surroundings were resonating, and the veins were ethereal, as if there was a faint sigh, and it seemed that someone was singing a long song.

Gradually, the heaven and the earth were filled with this kind of rhyme, the bamboo forest, the night wind, and even themselves, all seemed to be distant and ethereal things, and they didn't want to think of anything at this moment.

Xue Wen was groggy, but he felt a pain in his arm, and in a trance, it seemed that a small stone hit his left arm, and the person in front of him seemed to be Emperor Zhaoyuan, silently, but he was signaling something with his mouth-

That's - bamboo, bamboo holes?!

Xue Wen finally barely recognized what his mouth was saying, he bit the tip of his tongue, barely maintained a little clarity, took out several white jade chess pieces that he was used to from his bag, and popped them out against the wind.

The chess pieces went against the wind, with a clear sound, and then clanged and landed between the columns, interrupting the mysterious sound.

This strange sound is not man-made, but created by skillfully using the terrain and wind when cultivating the bamboo forest. When the wind blows through the bamboo forest at night, it will resonate with the holes in the bamboo body, and there is this unpredictable sound. ”

Before Emperor Zhaoyuan's words fell, the white mist dissipated, and what appeared in front of the two of them was still the luxurious pavilion when Xue Wen came to visit last time.

The white ivory pillar is still majestic, the Tanmen Biwa is silent, the eaves and the corridor are more deep and secluded in the night, only the clear crystal of the pavilion top, gives birth to milky white light in the dark night, and it is fantastic.

"It's you again, and you brought your companion with you!"

A deep male voice sounded on the left, and then the gentle and familiar female voice sounded, "I didn't expect that even the ten-mile bamboo forest couldn't trap you, and you broke into here again." ”

In the darkness of the night, the vermilion light flashed, the vermilion deep clothes were bright and bright, the woman in the vermilion clothes had long hair like sandalwood, and only had a small bun behind her, she came slowly, but intentionally or unintentionally blocked in front of the two of them-

"Stand still."

Xue Wen smiled kindly and was courteous, but he refused to take half a step back, "I'm here to ask to see your master." ”

The woman in the vermilion deep clothes smiled, only the depths of her pupils, but a gloomy anxiety flashed-

"The host has not yet returned, but let the guests go for nothing."

Xue Wen's eyes flashed, and he was about to speak, but he heard Emperor Zhaoyuan on the side say lightly: "Regardless of whether your master is at home or not, you stand in front of the door to block guests, which is a little unreasonable in terms of etiquette, right?" ”

The woman in Zhu Yi looked at him, as if she was taken by his surrounding bearing, her face changed, and her eyes flashed with consternation-

"Who is this......?"

"This is the lord I spoke of last time."

Xue Wen's understatement shocked the heart of the woman in vermilion and deep clothes, and she took a step back for a while, becoming more and more surprised, "It turned out to be the Lord of the Heavenly Capital, but I was too lazy." ”

She hesitated slightly, and finally said categorically: "Please invite your guests in to serve tea." ”

After entering the main entrance, you will be greeted by a wide courtyard instead of a wall.

At this time, it is the middle of winter, but the yard is full of flowers, purple and red, and there are strange grasses and different species that the two of them can't say, exuding a strange fragrance, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

The corridor twists and turns, it is ten miles of red musk deer, the pearl is soft, and people can't see it really. The two were invited into a pavilion, and this time the tea was freshly brewed, without any peculiar fragrance, and it was poured into the cup for only half a moment, but it exuded a sweet and strong fragrance that made people feel intoxicated.

"Sure enough, it's good tea, it's even better than last time, it seems that going out with Banzai is really a lot of blessings!"

Xue Wen didn't seem to feel that the atmosphere was solemn and weird, and said with a haha, the woman in vermilion and dark clothes was slightly blessed, "This tea has been rare since ancient times, and it must be accompanied by a taste of flower powder to be perfect, and let me get it." ”

She entered the high pavilion behind the cloister and whispered to the man in black with a sword, "We are in trouble this time...... It was none other than the current Emperor Zhaoyuan. ”

"He's just a secular emperor, and he can't control the head of a sorcerer."

The man in black frowned and said, but was refuted by the woman in Zhuyi, "The emperor is bound by the mandate of heaven, and the master once said that such a person who should be born in heaven is better not to disobey and be hostile to him." ”

"But the master is really not here now, and we didn't lie to him!"

The man in black was puzzled.

She sighed, lowered her head, and her forehead hair covered the anxiety and worry in her eyes, "I don't know where the master is?" ”

The man in black also felt her anxiety and panic, shook her hand through his sleeve, and said with relief: "The master has a saying: Now it is the biggest evil luck in his life, if he hides here, it is not good, it is better to go to that fierce place, the two are mutually restrained, and there is no vitality - you should rest assured!" ”

The woman in Zhu Yi still frowned, "That said, but I'm still worried that something happened - otherwise why hasn't there been any news from the master for so long?" ”

The man in black's eyes flickered slightly, obviously he was also worried, he patted his companion's shoulder wordlessly, and the woman in red took a deep breath, gathered all her emotions, and turned to find the end of the flower.

The end of the flowers was scattered into the pot, and the cooked green tea soup suddenly caused countless ripples, and when I entered it again, I only felt that it was even more wonderful, and a good word was obviously a desecration!

Xue Wen took a deep breath of tea and was about to admire, but Emperor Zhaoyuan said a mediocre sentence, but interrupted his wonderful reverie-

"Can the girl tell me when your lord will return?"

"This ——!"

The woman in Zhu Yi shook her hand, and the jade pot almost fell to the ground.
