In winter, the dawn is always late.

But at 7 o'clock, it was already bright at night, and the first snow that fell last night stopped, to be exact, when I woke up at 5 o'clock in the morning, it had stopped, but it did not hinder the work of this night, and the mountains and forests put on a new white dress.

The snow stopped, and the wind became gentler on such a morning.

I squinted my eyes and felt the gentleness brought by the breeze, without the faint warmth of the spring breeze, but the coldness in it was easy to make people sober up.

In fact, I haven't slept since I woke up at 5 o'clock.

But the spirit is not bad, I am very strange, I only have 8 hours of wakefulness every day, and I still sleep intermittently on the way here, how can I not only break through this shackle when I reach the boundary of the mountain gate, but even sleep less than ordinary people?

It's like yourself in a normal state.

Am I alright? This may make me feel very happy, I played a set of punches in the snow, and I was sweating when Brother Zhengchuan came out of the bear hole, he happened to see me squinting and blowing the wind, and it was a little funny to watch, and he couldn't help but call me: "Are you thinking about how to hit the Pegasus Meteor Punch again?" ”

I'm a fan of cartoons, and when I was a child, I used to do this, and I always felt that if I worked hard enough, I would definitely be able to learn the moves of the characters in cartoons.

For this reason, Brother Zhengchuan did not laugh at me less.

I didn't open my eyes, but the person smiled first, opened my eyes, and saw Brother Zhengchuan grabbing a handful of snow to wash his face at random, and I quickly squatted next to Brother Zhengchuan, doing the same.

Just like when I was a child, I brush my teeth and wash my face or something, and I always like to get together with him.

The icy snow rubs two handfuls on the hot face, and as long as you can endure the cold of the initial snow, there will always be a comfortable heat on your face after that.

I sighed in contentment, grabbed the water I had poured into the thermos last night, and took a big sip.

After most of the night, the water in the kettle has turned into lukewarm, so I ate the dry cake It happened that Brother Zhengchuan also took a dry cake, and while biting, he looked at me and asked, "Why didn't you wake me up last night?" ”

"I fell asleep outside myself, and I didn't wake up until 5 o'clock, so I thought I'd let you sleep a little longer." As I gulped down the dry biscuits, I muttered that morning was the hungriest time for me, and in a blink of an eye I had eaten a dry biscuit, and I took another one, not at all reassuring about it.

Brother Zhengchuan nodded and said, "Well, you have a limited amount of time to wake up every day, and you have slept intermittently on the road in the past two days." It's normal to go to bed yesterday. ”

I originally wanted to tell Brother Zhengchuan that I was fine, but I had no choice but to choke on the dry biscuit in my mouth, and I didn't have time to say, so I could only grab the water and pour it over.

But I didn't want Brother Zhengchuan to have a problem by himself, and suddenly turned his head to look at me and asked, "No, you didn't sleep all day yesterday, and you were Zhengling at night, isn't that like this?" ”

"yes? Ha ha. "I couldn't hide my joy.

Brother Zhengchuan's face suddenly became ugly, he put down the dry cake in his hand all of a sudden, pulled me up, and said to me, "Let's go, let's go back to the mountain gate quickly." ”

"What's wrong?" I don't understand, a good thing, how can Brother Zhengchuan be so strict?

Brother Zhengchuan's face was extremely stern and said: "Your soul is traumatized, but there is plenty of aura on this mountain, just like a weak person, you gave him an exhilarating medicine, what do you think is the consequence?" The abnormality of the table in a short period of time will make the person who is weak even weaker! How did I forget about this stubble? I'm afraid I won't be cured. ”

I was stunned for a moment, and when I thought about it carefully, this is indeed the truth. But can this situation be cured when it returns to the mountain gate? If Brother Zhengchuan really has a way, according to my understanding of him, where I am injured, I am afraid that Zhuang Jing will ask Zhuang Jing to cure me for various reasons.

But at this time, Brother Zhengchuan was already packing his luggage with a stern expression, and I didn't want to ask too much, so I could only stuff my head and pack my luggage with Brother Zhengchuan.

Soon, we left the place and headed out for the mountain gate again.

Brother Zhengchuan walked in front, I walked after the night of snow, the ground left two of us deep and shallow footprints, and I grew up in the mountains, I have long developed the habit of walking with my head down as soon as I enter the mountain, so it is better to show the footprints of various old medicines and beasts in the mountains and forests, so it is also quite interesting to watch the footprints of two people printed in the snow.

It was only when I turned out of the small forest where the bear cave was located that I stopped, and then frowned.

Because at the edge of this small forest, there is a broken dead branch, which is nothing new, and there are more broken dead branches in the mountain forest for various reasons.

The point is that there are half clear footprints on top of this dead branch.

I remembered the sound I heard in the early hours of the morning when the dead branches were trampled off, and at the time I thought it was my delusion, so how do you explain these half footprints?

And I couldn't help but crouch down and gesture to the footprint with the palm of my hand.

This half footprint is about the size of my palm, and it must be a small foot if it is complete, and such a foot belongs to a man, it is too nonsense, this should be a woman's foot.

If it's a man, I can also understand it as a person who goes up to the mountains to collect medicine or hunt, and is trapped in this deep mountain.

This explanation actually doesn't say much about the fact that the section of the mountain where the mountain gate was located in the past was dangerous, and the danger was not small, and with the ability of the cultivator to go deep into it, it was nothing, and it could be dealt with.

Besides, there are not necessarily specialties on this mountain, and it is impossible for a person to go deep into this realm.

What about a woman? And how to explain it? What about the other footprints? It is not a person from Wangxian Village.

As soon as I fell into thinking, I lost some time until Brother Zhengchuan called me, I came back to my senses, and after thinking about it, I am afraid that this kind of thing should not be hidden from Brother Zhengchuan, so I called Brother Zhengchuan over.

"This is" Brother Zhengchuan also saw the crux of the problem at a glance.

And at this time, I also told Brother Zhengchuan about the movement I heard in the early hours of this morning, and then asked, "Could it be someone from Wangxian Village?" ”

"If you were from Wangxian Village, do you think you would choose to leave silently? What's the reason to see you and walk away like this? Brother Zhengchuan just said a word, and dismissed this possibility, and then stood up and looked around to see if there were any other footprints.

Strangely, there were no other traces left at the scene other than these footprints.

Brother Masakawa looked up at the surrounding trees a few times, and then once again appeared a mark that seemed to be left by friction, and then said to me, "I walked on the tree." ”

"Who is it?" I had a bad feeling in my heart.

Brother Zhengchuan smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid that the peaceful days on this mountain are coming to an end, in fact, after you left, Master and I have already received two batches of 'guests', and these are just tentatives. ”

As he spoke, Brother Zhengchuan's hand stroked the wound on his face.

In fact, the wound had already healed, and it didn't leave too shocking scars, but it was cracked there, and the skin color inside was lighter than the normal skin color, which was not obvious.

I looked at it in my heart, but there was a wall in my heart, and I looked up and asked Brother Zhengchuan: "Is it the demon of the demon clan?" ”

"Hmm." Brother Zhengchuan didn't answer me positively, but said vaguely: "Third child, do you think normal people can come and go freely in the trees at night?" ”

The answer is clear.

And I felt as if my life had entered a mess, and it was only before I figured out one thing, and other things followed one after another, making people feel like they couldn't breathe.

With such a heavy heart, Brother Zhengchuan and I continued to walk silently all the way up the mountain.

The rest of the road that had already been driven by most of the road yesterday was nothing, and before noon, Brother Zhengchuan and I had already arrived at the cliff-like place, which was the real entrance of the mountain gate.

When I got here, Brother Zhengchuan seemed to be extra careful, and took me back and forth to explore a few times, and after making sure that no one followed, he carefully opened the large array of the mountain gate and took me into the mountain gate.

"Zhengling, the big array here, Master has already made adjustments. The second big array has been opened, and you must follow my footsteps closely, and there must be no deviation. Master, now that you are gone, with my current ability, once something happens to you, I will not be able to save you from the second great array. Brother Zhengchuan's expression was stern.

And I was originally in a mood, but after more than 5 years, I was finally able to return to the mountain gate again, but Brother Zhengchuan's words made my mood follow Yan Sù.

As far as I know, the Great Array of the Mountain Gate originally had three folds, and in the records of the Mountain Gate, it seems that there are very few things that can make the Mountain Gate Cave open the second dà array, as for the third dà array? It seems to have been opened, but there seems to be no record of that paragraph, as if someone has deliberately erased it.

Now, in this seemingly peaceful day, the second dà array has been opened, what has happened?

I carefully followed Brother Zhengchuan's footsteps, but I felt that the storm did not seem to be coming, but had already enveloped me.
