Out of the cave is where the real Valley of the Madmen is located. I saw that under the light of the ghost-like fire, there were two lines of words engraved on a mountain stone next to the cave door, "Entering the valley is like ascending to the sky." ”

Under the two lines, there is an arrow, pointing to a winding mountain road, both sides of the mountain road are planted with thorny exotic flowers and plants, so bright that people can't even name them. If you use your eyes, you can see that this road leads to a valley surrounded by mountains.

The old man turned back and nodded to Jade Mian and Huayan, and walked to the steps of the mountain road first.

Jade Face carefully supported the painting face, otherwise she would have approached the flowers.

The snow avoided itself, not even sniffing, and followed behind its owner with trepidation, knowing very well that those flowers were not lovely playmates.

Another hour passed, the sky was getting brighter, the morning sun was showing its face, and they had finally finished a hard trek to the end of the mountain road. When you look up, there is another scene of prosperity in front of you.

The strange flowers disappear, and the winding mountains are crowded with picky eaters along the road. All of them have ruddy complexions and light bodies, and they appear to be extremely healthy and active.

At first, they didn't notice the two outsiders, Huayan and Yumian. Until the appearance of snow, the scene that had just been lively was instantly silent.

They couldn't help but take the initiative to make way for the snow, and quietly watched as they slowly walked by.

The expressions on their faces were surprised, curious, and displeased. But they all didn't say a word, slowly digesting this incomparably new thing in their hearts.

Whenever they walked through a crowd, the crowd would silently surround them and follow them quietly.

Huayan heard the footsteps, turned his head sideways to Yumian and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, just follow me." The surface of the jade face was as calm as water, but the heart was actually uneasy, and the hand holding the painting face did not tighten a little.

How could the meticulous painting face not know the worries of the jade face, but since he had come to this point, there was no possibility of turning back. The real challenge is only now beginting.

The old man didn't notice the crowd following behind him, and greeted others as usual. The others did not answer him, but nodded at him solemnly as a return gift.

After walking an unusual road, we finally reached another peak.

On a mountain peak that flew like a cloud, there was a tall and wide dwelling made of solid stone, a flat stone, as good as jade, and how wide it was not many feet. I saw a plaque carved from jade on the gate engraved with the words "Madman Villa", and I knew that this was the residence of the madman valley lord.

The old man walked to the door and stopped, looked up at the sky, and said with a smile, "The hour is just right." The valley lord is already waiting for the two of them in the hall, and the two of them can go in by themselves, and the old man can only send each other here. ”

Yumian arched his hand and said, "Thank you!" ”

The old man smiled and shook his head, and walked briskly down the mountain with his hands behind his back.

"What a strange old man! Always look mysterious! Yumian muttered, then turned around and continued to walk towards the open door with the help of Huayan.

As he walked, he smiled and said, "He is the gatekeeper of the Valley of the Madmen, how can he easily let you touch the bottom?" Don't underestimate him, in the cave, he is only an arm's length away from me, and I can barely make out his footsteps, which shows the depth of his light skills. He hadn't even entered the door, and I think he was in a hurry to get back to deal with the other two. ”

"You mean Qingxu Dao Chang and Guan Er?" Jade Mian helped Huayan slowly cross the steps at the door and officially entered the Madman Villa.

Hua Yan nodded and said, "Not bad." ”

As he spoke, the two came to the front yard of the Madman Villa, and were worried about the road, when a pleasant female voice like a bell suddenly appeared behind them, "Two distinguished guests, please come with me." ”

Yumian turned around and almost shook his eyes. I saw her purple dress with fluttering ribbons, a jade crown on her head, and a smile like a flower, like a fairy in the sky, especially those smart eyes, like a clear spring.

"Beautiful, really beautiful...... "Yumian couldn't help but mutter, immersed in dreams.

The girl turned her smart eyes and looked at the jade face curiously, smiled, and squatted down to greet the snow, without fear.

Hua Yan naturally heard it clearly, and she slammed her elbow on Yu Mian's arm, "Be sober!" She reminded in a low voice.

Yu Mian was only jealous of Huayan, looked at Huayan affectionately and said: "She is beautiful and beautiful, in my heart, you are the most beautiful!" ”

Yumian didn't know that this sentence stung the scar in Huayan's heart, and it didn't have the effect he wanted, but caused Huayan's displeasure.

She didn't answer Yumian's words, but took a step forward and said to the girl, "Please lead the way." ”

The girl smiled and replied, "Come with me, both of you." ”

"Thank you," Hua Yan walked forward alone as she listened to the girl's footsteps. Snow obediently followed.

Yu Mian didn't know which words made Hua Yan unhappy, and he felt a sense of loss in his heart, but he quickly had the cheekiness to go over to support Hua Yan.

As soon as I entered the hall, there was a loud laugh.

"Two distinguished guests, it's a long journey, hard work!"

The man who spoke was thin, about thirty years old, and his face was the color of foam when the waves rolled up. It's like the kind of puffy clouds that drift in the blue sky of early summer. No one knows what kind of color it is, and no one can describe it.

This person's demeanor, temperament and demeanor are also indescribable.

Such an elegant person, so elegant and smart, sitting there is like a mountain.

Only one point is very strange.

Such a delicate and pleasant person always makes people dare not look at him, because between his eyebrows and eyes, there always seems to be a murderous aura that can be cold from the soles of his feet to the bottom of his heart.

This person walked over to Hua Yan and the others, and arched his hand: "In Xia Zijun Mountain, the jade-faced boy and I had old friends, and we should know each other. But you can't be rude to the girl for this. As he spoke, he bowed respectfully to the painting again.

Hua Yan bowed in return, "Narcissus has seen the valley master." ”

"Narcissus?" Zijun Shan asked in surprise, a hint of doubt flashing across his face.

"She's Xiaosheng's roommate." After Yumian finished speaking, he didn't allow Zijunshan to interject, and hurriedly pulled him closer, pointed to the girl who had just led the way behind him and asked him, "Who is that girl?" Looks so good! ”

Zijun Shan looked back blankly, and suddenly laughed: "You mean her?" He turned and waved at the girl, "Daughter, come and see two distinguished guests." ”

"What?! She's your daughter?! Yumian exclaimed, he never thought that the seemingly young and handsome Zijun Mountain would have such a big daughter, and in terms of appearance, the two were more like brother and sister.

The girl stepped forward with a smile, leaned over and said, "Ziyi has seen the jade-faced boy, the Narcissus Girl." ”

Yumian was surprised and surprised, and was speechless for a long time.

The rumors of the hot spring cultivator are indeed true, and the painting thought to himself, and his heart settled down a little. As long as the effect of the hot spring treatment is real, no matter how many dangers she will encounter, she will face the difficulties without any scruples!

Seeing that the jade face had not moved for a long time, Hua Yan took the initiative to resolve the embarrassment and said: "The valley lord and the girl in purple are hospitable, and Narcissus is only afraid of causing trouble to the two." ”

Zijun Mountain waved his hand and said warmly: "Where is it, Brother Yumian has a friendship with Zai Ben, and they are all his own family." I have heard of the girl's intelligence, and it is an honor to have her visited! ”

The girl in purple also enthusiastically held her arm and said, "The girl came to talk to me!" I'm bored here all day, and I'm going to get sick! ”

"The two of you came from afar, it must be very hard, it is better to go to the guest room to rest first, Zi has arranged a dinner party to wash the dust for the two." Zijun Shan said politely.

The jade face restrained his expression, thanked him, and was about to help the painter, but was preempted by the girl in purple.

The girl in purple walked towards the backyard while holding her face, and introduced her to the scenery of the villa along the way.

She seemed to completely ignore the existence of Jade Mask on the surface, but in fact, she wanted to deliberately attract his attention.

"What flowers does the girl like? I'll have someone bring me to take a bath with the girl later. ”

"Apricot Blossom ......"

"Apricot blossoms? It's really unfortunate that there are all kinds of flowers in the villa, but only the apricot blossoms can't be raised. Isn't it strange ...... you say?"

“...... Perhaps it is a geological disagreement. ”

"You mean the water and the soil don't match? It is also possible ...... Does the girl have any other favorite flowers? ”

"Please choose for me."

"Okay, I'll bring you ...... later."

In the silent corridor, the soft conversation of the two women sounded, and the voices drifted in the wind, forming beautiful notes.

Jade-faced followed them obsessively admiring the picture in front of him, completely oblivious to the other path that the attendant had shown him, and he didn't react until the attendant shouted a few times.

The girl in purple stopped, turned around and smiled, and continued to walk to another courtyard with her painted face.

They stopped in a cabin surrounded by flowers. The girl in purple pushed the door open and helped her to sit down in the back room.

The girl in purple also instructed the maid to put melons and fruits on the table, and hot tea and incense.

After a while, the room was filled with a strong and strange fragrance of flowers, and although she couldn't tell what kind of flowers they were, she felt that it smelled good, and her body and mind slowly relaxed.

The girl in purple suddenly approached Huayan and said, "Sister Narcissus...... Can I ask you a question? ”

"Okay." The painted face is smiling, still immersed in the fragrance of flowers.

"Jade-faced boy, he ......," Ziyi hesitated.

"What's wrong?" Hua Yan sensitively sensed the secret of the girl in front of her.

The girl in purple struggled again and again, and finally couldn't help asking, "He, is he married?" ”

It turned out that she really liked him. A trace of pity welled up in Hua Yan's heart. At the same time, I was also attracted by the simple personality of the girl in purple. She said in a tone of concern to her sister, "No, but he will never have a family." ”

The girl in purple stood up suddenly, blinked her two watery eyes, and asked in surprise, "Never become a family?!" Why? ”

Hua Yan sighed: "If you have visited him in the rivers and lakes, you will definitely know that he is always unruly and unrestrained. And ......"

"And what?!" The girl in purple asked as she stared at the painting.

Hua Yan suddenly stopped talking and smiled, "It's nothing." The girl is so beautiful and excellent, there will definitely be many handsome men vying for it. My eldest brother will be no exception. ”

The girl in purple blushed suddenly, but she was not afraid of being discovered by the painting. Still asked: "Sister Narcissus's heart is as careful as dust, in my opinion, whether the jade-faced boy is ......" Ziyi originally thought that he was bold enough, but the more he talked, the more embarrassed he felt.

He smiled, "Of course." ”

The girl in purple jumped happily when she heard this, "Sister Narcissus is also tired, I'll go get hot water, let my sister take a good bath, and sleep comfortably!" As he spoke, without waiting for Huayan to answer, he happily ran away.

Whether she couldn't bear to hurt Ziyi, or whether she wanted to win over Ziyi to help her next, she couldn't refuse such a lively and agile girl for Yumian. Or in her heart, she would prefer to make do with jade noodles and purple clothes.

Yu faced her heart, how could she not understand, but she couldn't give him what he wanted, and she couldn't bear him to be sad. She was relieved to have a beautiful and enthusiastic girl with him.

Hua Yan suddenly thought of something, groped to the door, and closed the door. He sat back down and took out the little thing that had been hidden in his sleeve all day.

"Great, and breath!" Hua Yan said excitedly, gently comforting the Danfeng bird lying on the table. He took out a brocade box from his arms, scraped a little lotus pill with his fingernails, pried open its mouth and fed it to swallow.

After waiting quietly for a while, the Danfeng bird, which was still motionless just now, actually called a few times!
