......

The further west you go, the more lush greenery you get.

This vast wilderness has not withered away with the arrival of autumn.

The river of green grass was twisted and turned, and the group of people who were going to the country of Yi stopped, mainly to let the horses and dragon beasts drink water.

They hired two dragon herders, a couple who often escorted long-distance merchants and travelers, and they did this business in the post stations and cities around the imperial capital......

Both husband and wife look swarthy and short, and in addition to the dragon beasts that can be summoned, they also have several young spirits by their side, just like their children, always circling around them, lively and active.

"This grassy wilderness is inhabited by a flock of iron eagles, as soon as we take to the air, they will gather as if they are going to invade their territory, but after here, we can fly some distance and reach Long River City directly. The dragon herder man said.

"Isn't there a lot of territory that can fly?" Fang Niannian asked with some curiosity.

She didn't quite understand.

Since they have all become dragon herders, and the dragon is the venerable among the living beings, why is the flight still so restricted, it is impossible to be full of thousand-year-old demons all over the mountains, right?

"It depends on the understanding of the region, if you are sure that there are no powerful creatures in this area to occupy the air, you can naturally fly at will, but during the journey, most of them are unfamiliar areas to you, how many demon groups and how many demon dens there are, are unknown, if you don't have the absolute strength to crush, you can scare them back, entangle and fight with them, but it is much slower than walking on land. The dragon herder man said.

"In fact, the most important reason is that once the creatures in the world have spirits, they all have a certain amount of wisdom, and they are cunning and good at sneak attacks and tailgating, they smell the breath of fighting, they will wander around, see the injured, they will chase after them, and when they see the physical exhaustion, they will bite directly. Even if this kind of thing happens only once, it will seriously slow down the trip and put you in danger. The wife said.

Fang Niannian nodded as if he didn't understand.

She wasn't going to be a dragon herder anyway.

It's just that in the future, if there is no experienced dragon herder to lead the team forward, there will be some problems after all, and I have to learn some experience.

When they went from the land of Lichuan to the Imperial Capital of Jiting, Zhu Minglang sought stability in the choice of routes, and most of them still flew along the roads of the city.

The grass was so lush that even the river covered them, and at a glance all you could see was a forest of green grass sprinkled with water, and the river seemed to pass silently between them.

Dressed in cinnabar silk clothes, with a light purple ribbon binding Ying Ying's soft waist, Nan Lingsha let a piece of rice paper hover in front of her, and the ink pen in her hand began to sketch casually......

She draws casually, not as attentively as usual, and is supposed to be just practicing.

However, in the rice paper, the wilderness, the green grass and the looming Qinghe River leap onto the paper, easily drawing the artistic conception of this scene.

Yun Zhonghe glanced at her and saw that there was a bamboo tube filled with water on the boulder beside Nan Lingsha, which was used to dilute the thick ink, so he stepped forward and took the initiative to fill in some water for her to the river.

"Girl, this is a wonderful painting. Yun Zhonghe said.

Nan Lingsha stopped her pen and glanced at Yunzhonghe, but she didn't speak, but her beautiful eyes seemed to say: Do I know you?

Yunzhonghe was a little embarrassed.

Since people don't remember themselves at all.

Don't all the defeated deserve a name?

"Below is the river in the clouds, and in the organ city, I was fortunate to learn the power of the gods with the girl, and I lost to the girl. Yun Zhonghe said.

"Hmm. Nan Lingsha replied and focused on painting.

Yun Zhonghe scratched his head and walked away with interest.

......

"Zhu Minglang, Zhu Minglang, you look at it. At this time, Fang Niannian pulled Zhu Minglang's sleeve and pointed in the direction of Guide Lingsha.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Minglang wondered.

"Sister Xinghua is feeding Xiao Youling, and Sister Lingsha took the initiative to show her the finished painting. Fang Niannian said.

Zhu Minglang looked over and saw that Nan Lingsha had finished painting, so he walked to Li Xinghua, unfolded the painting and communicated softly with Li Xinghua.

Although Nan Lingsha is not like Nan Yushao, holding Li Xing's painting affectionately, the atmosphere is obviously different.

"Seems like you guessed it right. Zhu Minglang said.

Sure enough, Li Xinghua and Nan Lingsha had a more harmonious relationship.

"A woman's instinct is always right. Fang Niannian said with some pride.

Zhu Minglang gave a perfunctory thumbs up.

......

"What's wrong?" Nan Lingsha asked suspiciously, seeing that Li Xinghua was a little distracted.

Li Xinghua didn't answer immediately, she looked at the end of the wilderness, and after a while, she raised her eyes to look at the sky that was gradually darkening in front of her.

A painting by Minami Reisa.

The sky was dark ahead.

This scene seems to be similar.

"What do you see?" asked Nan Lingsha.

"Terrible things, at the end of the wilderness. Li Xinghua's face was a little pale, and at this time, some cruel images poured into her mind, so that fine beads of sweat had oozed from her forehead.

Nan Lingsha wiped it for her and said softly, "Has it happened?"

"It's blurry, I can't see clearly. ”

"Was it the one who woke you up last night?" asked Nan Lingsha.

"Hmm. Li Xinghua nodded.

"I'll take a look. Nan Lingsha knows that Li Xinghua often has nightmares, and the most terrifying thing is not only that, but her nightmares often appear in reality, and even happen around her.

This situation often keeps her awake for a long time, and if she sits idly by, it will cause her conscience to be tormented.

Li Xinghua shook his head and said, "I can't see clearly, I can't predict the danger. ”

"It's fine. Nan Lingsha comforted her softly.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Minglang walked over, he had been looking at the two sisters just now, and soon he also noticed that the star painting girl's demeanor was a little different, as if she was afraid of something.

"I'll go to the end of the wilderness. Nan Lingsha said.

"I'll go with you...... Niannian, you come and talk to my sister, and I will walk around with Miss Lingsha. Zhu Minglang said.

"Okay. ”

Zhu Minglang also saw that something was wrong, especially Li Xinghua's somewhat frightened eyes, her fear seemed to come from the end of the wilderness.

Is there something going on there?

Did Li Xinghua foresee anything?

"Be careful, that's something we'll encounter later. Li Xinghua said.

"That's all the more important to see. Nan Lingsha said.

In the past few days, Zhu Minglang has noticed that Li Xinghua's face is very poor, as if he has not rested well every day.

Could it be that she foresaw something that kept her from sleeping?
