After saying all this, the movement in Koyanagi's hand paused for a moment, and then added.

"However, these are just legends after all, and no one has ever seen the existence of the descendants of the spirit snake. ”

"Legends? I think it's a bit true. ”

Zhou Xingzhi looked around, and where it was obscured by trees and thorns, she didn't find the existence of Xingyuhua.

According to legend, the branches of the Koyu flower are dark black, the flowers are purple-red, the shape of the flower is like a fountain, and one flower has 12 petals, and a Koyu flower usually only has two flowers.

When it blooms, it glows purple-red in sunlight and can be found from a distance, and the flower stem is slightly larger, so it is not easily hidden by trees and grasses.

Because there is no sunlight here, Zhou Xingzhi had to look carefully, according to Koyanagi, this location can be regarded as the central area of Spirit Snake Mountain.

At this time, it was almost noon, and the two of them had been going around in the Spirit Snake Mountain for a long time.

"There is indeed a fortunate flower in the Spirit Snake Mountain, and someone once picked it and presented it to the princess, but as for whether there are really descendants of the Spirit Snake in this mountain, the slave maid does not know. ”

Zhou Xingzhi's attitude towards anyone is the same, he has no consciousness as a "master", and he does not mean to look down on Xiaoliu, after getting respect, Xiaoliu is naturally willing to tell Zhou Xingzhi what he knows.

"It doesn't matter if there are descendants of the spirit snake or not, I just need to find the lucky flower, haha. ”

Zhou Xingzhi laughed, in fact, she didn't want to meet any spirit snake descendants or anything, it was really scary.

Hearing this, Xiao Liu's footsteps paused again, but she continued to walk with Zhou Xingzhi to a higher place in the mountain, and after thinking about it, she asked curiously.

"Zhou Gongzi wants to pick Xingyu flowers and give them to very important people. ”

“...... Ah, yes. ”

Zhou Xingzhi didn't hear the meaning of Xiaoliu's words at all.

Xiaoliu didn't ask much, because she knew that Zhou Xingzhi was a distinguished guest invited by Si Yanmu who personally ordered Si Yanxiaoye, so she thought that Zhou Xingzhi came to pick flowers to make her "young lady" happy.

After all, this is the first time she has heard that "Miss" is going to invite someone to come to the courtyard for so many years.

In this way, she thought that Zhou Xingzhi was special in Si Yanmu's heart, and after knowing about this matter, she would naturally help Zhou Xingzhi even harder.

It is indeed vulgar to send girls flowers, at least Xiaoliu thinks so, but the flowers that Zhou Xingzhi wants to give to "Si Yanmu" are Xingyu flowers, which are extremely difficult to find.

Therefore, Xiaoliu thinks that it is not vulgar for Zhou Xingzhi to send his own "Miss" flowers.

Even if Xiaoliu is a maid, she has a lot of feelings, even if Zhou Xingzhi is not as good-looking as Si Yanmu, and she does not have such a high status as Si Yanmu, she also thinks that if her "Miss" likes it, it is not a big deal.

With such complex emotions, Koyanagi followed the direction of the mountain and walked around to the high place of Spirit Snake Mountain.

Finally, when Zhou Xingzhi was about to give up, they finally walked to the center of the Spirit Snake Mountain in the real sense.

An area that seemed to have been cut with a large knife, with significantly less vegetation and thorn trees than they had come before.

Xiao Liu pointed to the slightly flat area in front of him, and said happily to Zhou Xingzhi, who was leaning against the tree and was unable to move.

"Zhou Gongzi, this place belongs to the true halfway point of Spirit Snake Mountain, if you can't find the Xingyu flower you need here, you can't continue to go up. ”

"Why?"

Zhou Xingzhi asked with a pant, he was already out of breath, as if he was about to lose his breath in the next moment.

Thinking that it was really ungraceful to slip to the ground like this, she trembled her legs, and with the last of her strength found a stone and sat down.

"This is the rule of Ling Lan Country, saying that there are snake spirits guarding mountain spirits living in high places, and humans are not allowed to approach them, so as not to disturb them. ”

"Who, who's going to make such a rule?"

Zhou Xingzhi put his hands on his knees and asked while breathing steadily.

"The Emperor. ”

Xiao Liu did not hesitate at all, Zhou Xingzhi did not ask again, she also continued to answer: "After all, this Spirit Snake Mountain saved the people of the capital, so in order to show respect for this mountain, the first emperor issued this decree." ”

“...... As long as you can find the lucky flower, it's okay not to go up. ”

Zhou Xingzhi didn't want to touch those strange things, and she didn't know how to deal with them if she really encountered something.

Follow the local customs, and that's pretty much the same thing.

After all, Xiaoliu is a person who practices martial arts, and after resting for a short time, he put the food he brought on the big stone one by one, and after Zhou Xingzhi had lunch, the two of them separated according to the plan to find Xingyuhua.

Because it was daytime, and it was so quiet that it didn't look like something would happen, Koyanagi would agree to Zhou Xingzhi's approach.

And it's really quicker to look for them separately.

Here, Zhou Xingzhi and Xiaoliu were looking for the location of Xingyuhua, and Si Yan Xiaoye of the main courtyard was also looking for Si Yanmu's location, and after he went around and around, he knew that Si Yanmu had already left.

Moreover, even the maids in the main courtyard did not know when he left.

"Really, you want me to go to him again. ”

Si Yan Xiaoye clenched his fists and sighed helplessly.

At this time, it is already the time of the waning sun.

According to the time, he thought that Zhou Xingzhi had already returned to the other courtyard, so he decided to go back to the other courtyard first.

After all, compared to Si Yanmu, he was more worried about Zhou Xingzhi, as long as he arrived in the capital, it could be regarded as the backyard of Si Yan's house, and Si Yan Xiaoye didn't need to worry about it.

"Maybe Gongzi has already gone back to the other courtyard, it seems that he is really a little afraid that something will happen to Gongzi Zhou. ”

Although he still felt a little awkward in his heart, he saw that Zhou Xingzhi did not have the "special fetishe" of the guy who Zhao Si Yanmu hated before, so he was relieved to let Si Yanmu get along with Zhou Xingzhi.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have planned so many things.

With this in mind, he hurried back to the courtyard, but before he could stop the carriage and land, Xiaoyanagi hurried over.

"Little Night Boy, Zhou Gongzi is missing in Spirit Snake Mountain!"

"W-What?!"

Si Yan Xiaoye's horse raised its head and neighed at the sudden pull of the reins in his hand.

"What the hell is going on? Since Gongzi Zhou is missing, have you sent someone out to look for him?"

"Back to Xiaoye Gongzi, the slave and maid sent out all the maids that could be used, but there was still no news from Zhou Gongzi. ”

Xiaoliu was about to cry, he was so anxious that his intestines were blue, and he knew that he wouldn't listen to Zhou Xingzhi's words, otherwise Zhou Xingzhi would not have disappeared.

"When did you find out he's missing?"

Si Yan Xiaoye didn't have time to get out of the carriage, and then asked quickly.

In the middle of the afternoon, the maids had news, but they didn't find any news of Zhou Gongzi, so Xiaoliu had to wait here for Xiao Yegongzi to come back. ”

"Is the young lady back?"

Si Yan Xiaoye asked again.

He was still a little afraid that Si Yanmu would know about this matter, but now it seems that it is not possible to let Si Yanmu know about this situation.
