The conversation could not continue at this point, Xu Zi'an was silent because of shock and uneasiness, Duoduo was silent for other reasons, the night as thick as ink was dark with palpitations, the forest leaves not far ahead were hunting in the wind, and from time to time there were bright spots with green light swimming, as if the so-called underworld was coveting the young girl in the forest.

In this world, if there is really an underworld and the existence of the Hades King, then the Hades King who is far away in the depths of the night should also be peeping at himself with such a greedy and cold gaze at this time, Xu Zi'an suddenly felt cold and abnormal, like frost in winter.

He is just a mountain boy, since he was a child, living in the ordinary life of firewood, oil and salt, hunting and survival, so far the prosperity of Kyoto is only in the expectation of staying, and the mystery of the avenue has not been appreciated, so suddenly there is a heavy identity closely related to the Hades, and the twists and turns of fate are indeed too speechless.

If that black stone is really an incarnation of Hades in the world, as Duoduo said, then what should he do at this time?

After thinking for a moment, Xu Zi'an smiled self-deprecatingly, he found that he really had nothing to do.

That's the king of Hades, not the brown bear in the mountains, not the general Zhang Yiran on the edge of the city, not some desert warrior and leader, the rumored supreme existence that coexists with the eternal night, can destroy the whole world at the thought of it, he is just a floating grass in this world, a slightly larger wave can bury himself in the bottom of the sea, how can he have the ability to change these big things related to the world.

The person who has the ability to change the world is Shen Li, not him............

He looked at the little green light that wandered in the darkness, frowned, and threw all the remaining branches into the fire, and the flames that were about to be extinguished immediately began to dance wildly, revealing a stunning light in the mountain wind.

Duoduo was still pondering, as if he was thinking about some very important matters, but he didn't know if it had anything to do with the snowy tomb mountain, and he didn't say anything to wake up the other party, Xu Zi'an clenched the sealing knife beside him, got up and walked in the dense forest in front of him.

Of course, those green lights are not the eyes of the Hades, but some wild wolves walking through the forest, he has dealt with wolves in the mountains, and knows very well the habits of wild wolves, wolves are cruel and greedy, forbearant and cunning, there are green mountains and green waters, and there are many fat elk and hares in the forest, if he shows his strength enough, let these wild wolves know that if they want to taste their meat, they will definitely pay a great price, and the wolves will naturally set their eyes on the easier prey.

However, this reminded him that after two days of running and running, most of the way was filled with wild fruits, and although he could barely eat enough, it was indeed time to eat some meat.

Under the influence of Shen Li, the mountain boy has always maintained the greatest interest in meat, the most beautiful thing in the world.

After experiencing the initial shock and fear, in fact, the young man's mentality at this time has recovered a lot, broken umbrellas, sealed knives, old books, and now there is another dark stone, there are too many bizarre things on his body, so much that no matter how shocking the news, there are so many that he is a little numb, maybe this is the origin of the lice that are not afraid of biting?

Shen Li is a shameless guy, and he is also an arrogant and lonely person, but he is definitely not a conspirator who plans to destroy the world every day, and the alienation of this world makes him ruthless and indifferent in his bones, but Xu Zi'an believes that he is only a madman at most, but not a madman.

The one who makes the world dance is a madman, and the one who makes the whole world die for it is a madman.

So in this world, only one person is called a madman.

He didn't believe that Shen Li had done so many things, just to push himself into the endless abyss and let the so-called Hades descend on the entire human world, which would not do him any good.

Shen Li is too lazy and too greedy for the hustle and bustle of the world, if he can sit and eat a bowl of egg noodles, he will never stand up and drink chicken soup, and if he can lie on a rocking chair and watch the peach blossoms, he will not sit up and knock the eye-catching wilted peach blossoms off the branches.

How could such a lazy and greedy guy go to great lengths to destroy a huge and interesting world?

This is a very boring thing, so naturally it is not something that Shen Li, who is still struggling with worldly emotions, wants to do.

...............

The hunted hares were defured and skinned, and they were smoked on the fire, and the rich fragrance slowly wafted in the forest after a while, and the wild wolves that were driven away by Xu Zi'an just now wandered on a mound not far away, but they never dared to approach again, and it seemed that they were really afraid of the so-called Hades breath.

"What did you do just now to make the wild wolf dare not approach?" The light in the moonless and starless forest was dim, so Duoduo didn't see what Xu Zi'an had done after entering the forest just now.

"It's nothing, just walk in front of them," Xu Zi'an said casually, fiddling with the hare on the fire stand.

Duoduo stared at her good-looking eyes, obviously not very satisfied with this statement.

Xu Zi'an smiled, didn't explain too much, and continued to concentrate on grilling the rabbit meat on the fire rack.

It was true that he hadn't done anything just now, just walked calmly under the gaze of the wild wolf, but he had done a lot more, because as long as he walked over, he could easily let the hunter's breath hidden by the night on his body spread among the wolves.

He has killed too many beasts that are more powerful than wild wolves, no matter how clean the clothes on his body are, there will still be blood left in those beasts, and there will be a breath that can never be removed from his fingers, the wolf clan is treacherous and intelligent, and can easily find that he deliberately exudes a dangerous smell, and naturally give up his greed after weighing it.

This thought made him think about many things, and he suddenly realized that he seemed to be doing something wrong.........

"Follow the normal route, where will the army that will replace you wait?"

Xu Zi'an suddenly looked at Duoduo and asked.

Duoduo looked away from the charred rabbit meat that was about to be cooked, knowing that he was thinking about the way forward.

"The convoy will enter the mountain from the North Foot Pass of the South Road Ridge, along the official road to the North Slope Road, not far from where we met the Wild Clan, and then turn from the North Slope Road to the mountain road, and go all the way to the South Foot Mountain through the cold plank road, where is the Janissary Army who is responsible for receiving me from the Dynasty, the specific map and handover method The chief of the guard knows, but we were attacked suddenly, the entire convoy was destroyed, and the chief of the guard died."

"There's no map......... , this is a bit troublesome" Xu Zi'an used a sealing knife to cut a few cuts in the hare on the shelf, so that the tender meat inside was easier to be roasted, and then asked.

"Can you estimate where we are in Nandaoling at this time?"

Duoduo suddenly fell silent, stood the little yellow umbrella in front of him, and did not hold it up, letting the messy strips of cloth of the little yellow umbrella wander around his cheeks, and said with some annoyance.

"I'm a road idiot........."

"Ah............" Xu Zi'an scratched his head in embarrassment, looked at the occasional little girl who was embarrassed, smiled and comforted.

"It's okay, we won't make a mistake if we don't get lost in our direction, by the way, according to the normal footsteps, how long will it take to climb this South Dao Ridge?"

"When I left Beijing, the convoy walked together for about seven or eight days, but at that time, I was accompanied by a general of the Right Route Army, there was no danger on the road, and it was a smooth road, so it was naturally faster."

Xu Zi'an looked at the rabbit meat on the fire rack, and found that the meat was golden and crispy, and the fat was sizzling during the period, knowing that it was almost roasted, he tore off the most tender rabbit leg and handed it to Duoduo, and said, "There is no condiment seasoning, the taste may not be so good, I went back to Kyoto, and I will give you a taste of my craftsmanship, my green onion noodles are very good."

When the boy said this, the firelight was blown by the wind, and the surrounding firelight shone between the boy's eyebrows very loudly.

Duoduo endured the hot bite and took a big bite, chewing happily, the oil light dyed the girl's cheeks with pieces of moonlight, there was no moon tonight, but the girl's beauty was the most beautiful moonlight.

"It's a little light, maybe it's because it's not seasoned, but the green onion noodles you said, you must let me taste a bowl when I go back to Kyoto, by the way, I forgot to ask you, what are you doing back to Kyoto this time?"

Xu Zi'an thought for a while and said

"Admission to the Academy"

"To get admitted to the academy, you need to pass the Yuexi exam, but with your martial arts, it is not too difficult if you just want to enter an academy casually, but as far as I know, there are many famous geniuses among the students who will take the exam this year, and there are even some young disciples from other sects who will enter Beijing to show their style, and I will have a hard time dealing with those people, if you face them, .........."

Duoduo secretly glanced at Xu Zi'an, patted the young man's shoulder with a smile, and said with a big grin.

"But it doesn't matter, who made us friends, I can help you write a letter of recommendation, I'm Her Royal Highness the Princess, those academies have to buy me three points of face, by the way, which academy are you going to get into?"

Duoduo still has rabbit meat in his mouth, and his words are a little vague, but his tone is very ordinary, as if he is saying that you are going there tomorrow, and I will order the servant to prepare a horse for you, but Xu Zi'an was speechless when he heard it.

Yes, no matter how deliberately she doesn't think of the other party's identity, she is still the daughter of Emperor Wu, Her Royal Highness the princess who is loved by thousands of people, she only needs one sentence to make the mountain boy earn out of the quagmire and stay rich and noble, just like at this time, when all the girls in the world are struggling to prepare for the Yuexi exam, he may really ......... You can be introduced to those colleges that others can't even dream of through Duoduo.

Xu Zi'an thought of some possibility and said, as calmly as possible.

"Nanxi Academy"

Duoduo was slightly stunned, as if she didn't expect Xu Zi'an to say this place.

"That......... Zhongshan Mansion attaches great importance to martial arts practice, where is your physical fitness suitable, otherwise go to Cinnabar Zhai, there are not too many beautiful little girls in Cinnabar Zhai."

Duoduo playfully rubbed the waste oil on Xu Zi'an's body, and said with a smile on his eyebrows.

Xu Zi'an thought of another person who also liked to put greasy on himself, and said seriously.

"Where can I go, there is no other choice"

Duoduo didn't ask for a specific reason, and her eyebrows frowned and looked a little embarrassed.

"The words of Nanxi Academy............ There is really only a limit to what I can do, and my father has a lot of respect for him, so whether it is the imperial court or other sect forces, he can't influence anything."

Xu Zi'an heard the word respect in Duoduo's words, and couldn't help but feel more curious about this academy that was appreciated by Shen Li.

Duoduo's father is a generation of kings of the Dali Dynasty, and all monarchs need to use the word respect to describe an academy, so how incredible should this academy itself be?

The significance of his entry into Nanxi Academy is very simple, because where he is not only respected by Shen Li, but there may even be secrets about Shen Li.

However, the premise of considering these things is to escape from this mountain forest, so Xu Zi'an shook his head and put these thoughts aside first, looked at the pieces of oil on his clothes that were wiped off by the girl, and turned the topic back again.
