But obviously, no matter what myths and legends are, there is always a gap between them and real life.

Even if I feel that this is the place where the elves live in Western legends, I know in my heart that this green thing should be a kind of fungus, because it does exist, and it is found in the rich Amazon jungle, and even in other countries, there is more than one kind of fungus that can emit light, most of them are green light.

And the light that floats in the air may be its spores.

I once read the introduction of this fungus in some book, and I have never forgotten to see it, after all, most of the records that have been discovered are in Western countries, or mainly found in the Amazon jungle, I never thought that in my lifetime, I would find it in my Huaxia, such a beautiful valley.

"Isn't it beautiful? If it's not at night, you can't see such a view. Seeing my stunned appearance, Xiao Ding couldn't help but start to be proud of his Snake Gate Holy Land again.

Faced with Xiao Ding's pride, I could only nod indifferently.

In this dreamlike green light, I saw that under the thick trunk of the tree, the crown of which was the size of half a court, was a wooden house composed of several rooms, and the original wood color façade looked simple but so clean and comfortable.

Is that where Xiao Ding has always lived?

In my heart, I think that the bamboo forest building is already the most beautiful existence, in fact, in my heart it is also, but when it comes to the magic and beauty of the scenery, I have to admit that this place is unforgettable, more shocking than the bamboo forest building!

"That's where I live." Xiao Ding's flute has been inserted into the belt that ties his long coat, and he is holding blind fish and other things that he has made in his hand, with a somewhat 'three-eight' look, guiding enthusiastically.

Master and I were actually very tired all the way, and after seeing the beautiful scenery, we really needed to rest, so we took the opportunity to walk over under the leadership of Xiao Ding.

It looks so beautiful from afar, but you can feel its beauty even more when you are in it.

When I was finally able to sit in my room, I felt that the whole room exuded a natural, faint aroma of wood, and the structure of all wood, the room was simply furnished, except for the bed and a little bit of a simple cabinet, there was almost no furniture.

The house is about two meters high like the bamboo forest building, and there is a very characteristic fire pit in the hall, in short, everything here is clean and comfortable.

Outside the window, the green light and the flying fireflies seemed to surround us, and I couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief as I sat on the straw mat woven from hay by the firepit.

Xiao Ding was boiling hot water for me and Master, we were too tired to sit quietly like this, enjoying this peace and beauty, after all, our nerves have been tense for several days, and this time is especially rare now.

I don't know how long it was so quiet, but when the water in the pot hanging on the fire pit was already gurgling, a snake crawled in through the open door.

In this place, I am already numb to snakes, so I don't think it's strange, I didn't even look at it more, but Xiao Ding looked at the snake, smiled and beckoned, his eyes actually narrowed into a crescent moon, this man actually smiled so much is crescent moon eyes, this is the first time I found out.

The snake was very affectionate to Xiao Ding, Xiao Ding beckoned it to climb faster, and soon wrapped around Xiao Ding's arm, and was entrenched on Xiao Ding's shoulder.

I watched this scene with interest, but found that this snake was familiar, just like the snake in the valley when we first saw Xiao Ding, and its movements were so familiar, it was attached to Xiao Ding's shoulder, making a faint 'hissing' sound.

However, I'm sure it's not the same snake, this one is smaller, it's significantly smaller than the other.

The snake felt like it was talking to Xiao Ding, and Xiao Ding nodded very cooperatively, and made some 'um', 'ah', 'hmm', and 'hmm', indicating that he understood.

I can't help but wonder if a snake can still talk? Can Ding also communicate with snakes? However, I can't interrupt Xiao Ding when he looks like this.

This scene lasted for about two minutes, and the snake crawled off Xiao Ding's body and crawled out of the house, and Xiao Ding didn't say anything, but took out two wooden cups from the house and poured a cup of hot water for me and the master.

A little tea was added to the hot water, a very familiar taste, the master picked it up and sniffed it, his expression couldn't help but be a little sad, and said, "I gave this tea to your grandfather, right?" ”

Yes, of course, I can't forget this familiar taste, Master and I often drink this kind of tea in the bamboo forest Xiaozhu, Master cherishes this kind of tea very much, and will take it out and drink it two or three times a month, and the rest of the time, it is replaced by other tea leaves.

It's just that other tea leaves don't have such a special fragrance, so the familiar fragrance in my memory is the fragrance of this tea.

When the master said this, Xiao Ding was also a little sad, and said on the side: "Yes, this is left by grandpa, these tea leaves that Grandpa Jiang gave him, he has already left before he has time to drink them." ”

For a while, I was a little sad for Xiao Ding, I can imagine that his grandfather is also his master, and his companionship is like the companionship of my master, if such a person dies, it should be very sad, right?

"However, grandpa has no regrets, he left very peacefully, as if he was asleep, the ancestors, the holy snake came to see him off." After speaking, Xiao Ding smiled sadly again.

If that's the case, it's really not too sad, except that it's a little hard to miss.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little sad, Xiao Ding immediately changed the topic, and while he was 'virtuous', he took out a wooden basin and made hot water for me and Master, and said, "Did you see that snake just now?" They are a kind of snake with a high IQ, and it has brought me news that the pursuers have lost you, but do not want to give up, and are now scattered, looking for you all over the mountains. ”

He said it very easily, but I suddenly became nervous, looked up at Xiao Ding, and said, "They shouldn't have found this place by mistake, right?" ”

"No, the secret path is guarded by a formation, let alone a holy place? Rest assured, the odds are slim, unless they have the ability to search the entire mountain range. Xiao Ding didn't care too much, he didn't say what kind of protection this place has, but he thought it was very powerful.

After all, there are so many different snakes here, and there are formations, maybe there are others, it seems that the snake gate and the Dao Gate have a good relationship with many hidden inheritances.

At least I know a Mingyangmen now, and I have such a deep friendship with our old Li Yimai.

However, there are always variables in everything, I never dared to underestimate Yang Sheng's master who looked the same as me, and he also said to Xiao Ding more seriously: "This is the most precious place in the Snake Gate, and it is also the most precious guardian of your lineage, I can't allow it to have an accident." If I can, I'll stay with Cheng Yi for a day, and we'll leave here after tomorrow. ”

"But" Xiao Ding looked at my master with some concern, after all, it is a very dangerous thing to leave with this chasing army all over the mountains, right?

"No, even if I joke with my own life, I can't joke with the life of the third baby. Xiao Ding, there should be a more obscure way, a way to leave secretly, right? When Master said this, he touched my head very naturally, and I have always felt the love from Master in this detail.

Feeling slightly warm, I took a sip of hot tea.

Master's question made Xiao Ding hesitate slightly, and then looked at my master as if he had made up his mind and said: "Grandpa Jiang, in fact, I have a lot of secrets in the Snake Gate, for example, the topographic map of this mountain range is also a secret, because it contains all kinds of information about hidden paths, secret passages, and even secret passages. The most important secret path is naturally the place where the ancestors are, and the rest is just that. According to your friendship with my grandfather, I can draw you a part of the topographic map, and if you hold this, you can naturally get out of this mountain range a little safely. I'll let the snake guard you, too. ”

"If there is this, then it is enough, it is completely enough, and I will take care of the rest myself." Master's brows furrowed, and he looked relaxed.

Xiao Ding looked at my master and couldn't help but ask again, "Is there really no problem?" Grandpa Jiang? ”

"It's really no problem, Xiao Ding, wait a minute, you prepare a room for me and Chengyi, don't let your snake come to disturb me I have some things to deal with, this is no problem, right?" Master thought about it for a moment and said very seriously.

"No problem, in fact, this place, except for me" Xiao Ding paused for a moment, and then said: "There is also the holy snake, and the other snakes cannot easily come in if they have something important." ”

Holy snake? Xiao Ding has mentioned this word for the second time, but I think it involves the secrets of his teacher, so I didn't ask too much, I can't 'bully' people Xiao Ding is simple.

"Well, that's good." The master nodded, and suddenly looked at Xiao Ding, a little serious, and a little deliberately relaxed: "Xiao Ding, soon in the circle of cultivators, there will be a vigorous era coming, aren't you ready to participate in it?" You are also a rare genius of the younger generation! Are you really ready to go into hiding? ”

The big time again? Master said this again, what kind of great era will it be? My hand holding the tea trembled inexplicably, and I found that as long as Master mentioned this word, I couldn't help but boil the blood in my heart and squint, what kind of vigor would it be?
