5 · Xie Lingyuan

[If Chen Chan is really a thousand-handed poisonous woman, then what is her purpose in accepting Hua Lingyan's invitation to come to the Ancient Mirror Gate......?

Xie Lingyuan was shrouded in Yun Mengze's mist, and the dense fog that he couldn't see his fingers made Chen Jian tense his nerves, although it was the two masters of the Ancient Mirror Gate who led the way, but the primordial fear still kept stirring his heartstrings.

I don't know how long it took to travel in the thick fog, but the carriage finally stopped.

Chen Jian looked around, everywhere was the same thick white, after a circle, he didn't know the direction of the way, and the bottom of the carriage was also surrounded by mist, which seemed to have life, and swallowed upwards unhurriedly.

Chen Jian cautiously tiptoed down the carriage, and as he expected, the moisture here was very heavy and the soil was quite moist.

"You have to keep up, don't walk side by side. Hua Lingyan untied the reins of the horse and let it destroy itself in this gloomy world, and then said to Chen Jian and Chen Chan seriously, "Although the senior brother will follow you, this is not a perfect guarantee, someone disappeared while walking before." ”

Chen Jian nodded. This is by no means Hua Lingyan's intimidation, such a fog, as long as you don't pay attention to it, even the sound will be completely swallowed up.

"Then we set off. ”

After Hua Lingyan told her repeatedly, she took a step.

Chen Jian had just taken two steps, and his right hand was suddenly surrounded by a warm thing, and he was so startled that he almost withdrew his hand.

"Don't let go!" said Chen Chan, who followed him.

"Hmm. Chen Jian's heart was full of deer, although he had the experience of holding hands when he fled a few days ago, but at that time, after all, there was a crisis, and now the situation is a little peaceful, he can enjoy the happiness of being held by a beautiful girl this time.

Chen Chan's hands were very warm, but because of the moisture, the palms of the two were quickly soaked with wet air. Although it was a little uncomfortable, it was just enough to cover up the sweat that Chen Jian was oozing from nervousness.

Because of holding hands, this road has become extraordinarily wonderful, Chen Jian looked at Hua Lingyan's looming back, but his mind was full of Chen Chan's appearance, Chen Chan was very quiet, except for the sentence just now, he didn't make a sound, it seemed to deliberately leave him a quiet environment, so that he had enough reverie.

For some reason, Chen Jian felt that this feeling was familiar. The first time he saw Chen Chan, he felt that he must have been with her for a long time.

Thinking of this, his angina and loneliness suddenly surged from his heart.

Chen Chan, what are you hiding...... Do you really not know me? And I really don't know you?

Unconsciously, the sound of the stream gradually came to my ears, which became more and more crisp.

"It's here. Hua Lingyan said loudly to stop the people behind her, "Come over slowly, be careful, the water in front is very deep." ”

The fog blocked the sound of the water, and Chen Jian felt that he was far away from the deep pool, but when he looked down, the blue lake was about to touch the tip of his shoe.

"I told you to slow down. Hua Lingyan grabbed Chen Jian's collar like an eagle catching a chicken. "Stand up, someone will pick us up right away. ”

She knew that people who came to Xie Lingyuan for the first time would feel fear, so she had to say what would happen next in advance so that they could be mentally prepared.

She took out a porcelain bird whistle from her coat pocket, blew it lightly, and a pleasant and clear chirp swept across the surface of the lake, like a bird.

Not long after, the sound of the old-fashioned ferry came from the distant space, like the water holding up the boat, and like the boat dragging the water, the hazy ripples reached the shore in a circle, and the pool water swallowed out the broken soil. Boom - the penny pole suddenly entered the rotten rocky beach, and a rickety bamboo raft appeared in front of everyone.

This is the ferryman mentioned earlier.

Chen Jian recalled the experience of reading novels in his previous life, and speculated that this kind of role was definitely not simple, so after getting on the raft, he immediately secretly looked at the boatman.

Like any boatman in a film or television production, he was thin but muscular in his arms, his shriveled forehead sunk into three deep furrows as if he had been ploughed by a plough rake, his cheeks and neck with many tiny wrinkles, and an oil lamp in front of the raft illuminated his skin in a thick yellow.

Except for sailing to the shore, the boatman kept his back to them, and Chen Jian couldn't take a closer look at his appearance, the only thing he knew for sure was that he was very old.

A faint shine is the only color.

It's like being in an ink painting. Chen Jian didn't dare to make too many movements, so he could only desperately turn his neck and eyeballs to enjoy this strange scene. The surface of the lake is like a foggy silver mirror, carving their figures faithfully, and then being wrinkled by the waves.

This section of waterway is not long. After about five minutes, the first light shone in front of me. By the light, Chen Jian was surprised to find that the bamboo raft had been sandwiched between the cliffs, and they were passing through a narrow waterway entrance, and further on, the torches on the cliffs illuminated everything.

The raft stopped in front of a cave about three people high, and the surrounding area of the cave was covered with silver.

"Welcome to the Ancient Mirror Gate. Ding Sheng said proudly.

Hua Lingyan gave him a blank look, expressing dissatisfaction with the robbery of his lines.

This is the Ancient Mirror Gate.

Legend has it that three hundred years ago, a warrior named Liuxi Bridge took the whole family to avoid the pursuit of the enemy, found a mirror to the sky in this narrow place, he had to smash the silver mirror for his own safety, and hid in the cave, the name of "Ancient Mirror Gate" is indiscriminate here.

These mirrors, which merge with the mountain, form a complete closed loop from the ground to the top of the cave.

Chen Jian looked at himself in the mirror.

Isn't this a haha mirror? He smiled bitterly.

"Why? You've been here before?"

Chen Jian thought that Hua Lingyan was talking to him, but after a closer look, Hua Lingyan was still leading the way in front, and the person who spoke was Chen Chan.

"Nope. ”

"Look at the look on your face of revisiting. Chen Chan explained.

Chen Jian shook his head.

Hua Lingyan and Ding Sheng deliberately controlled their expressions in front of them, but they unconsciously relaxed their vigilance against Chen Chan. He felt that he was a little careless, no matter how kind Chen Chan was currently behaving, her identity was still unknown, and Chen Jian's own affairs were also full of fog.

"I just thought it was funny. Chen Jian added.

"Hopefully, the herbs here will give us back our memory. ”

Chen Chan suddenly said thoughtlessly.

"Hmm. ”

Chen Jian looked up into the distance, an open world was waiting for them fifty meters in front of them, only through this shallow short tunnel behind the ancient mirror gate, can they really reach the ancient mirror gate, where the scenery is picturesque, and the wooden houses built next to the mountains are lined up one after another.

"Master. ”

In Hua Lingyan's greeting, a kind white-haired old man appeared on crutches.

Liu Xingjue, one of the three elders of the Ancient Mirror Gate, the most prestigious pharmacist in Middle-earth, and a martial artist recognized by the imperial court.

In the Western Dynasty, the recognition of warriors had to go through the hands of the emperor, according to the annual martial arts conference and the results of the large and small martial arts battles presided over by the major gangs in the rivers and lakes, the warriors were comprehensively divided into "honor", "respect", "modesty", "blessing" and "general" according to their strength and reputation;

And Liu Xingjue is one of the seventy-six glorious knights of the Western Dynasty.

His martial arts are not even as good as some knights, but with his superb and exquisite alchemy skills, he enjoys a good reputation in the rivers and lakes and even in the imperial court. A few years ago, the Queen Mother had a strange rash, and Liu Xingjue cured her, and on the emperor's side, Liu Xingjue had a lot of right to speak.

"I've heard about it. ”

Liu Xingjue's voice is very heroic and full of energy, although he looks kind, he does things vigorously. After receiving the letter from Hua Lingyan, he immediately began to prepare, and now that the two wounded people who had lost their memories due to the fall had arrived, he only greeted them a little, and asked Ding Sheng to lead them to the healing hall to rest first.

"That girl, what does Master think?"

"Nowadays, there are very few people who have seen a thousand-handed poisonous woman still alive. Liu Xingjue said, "You also know that our Gujingmen was used as a backup back then, and we didn't even arrive at the main battlefield - to confirm her identity, we must ask someone from Wudang, Di Chan or Lingyun to confirm it with our own eyes." ”

"But Master, she's only in her early sixteens, how can she be a thousand-handed poisonous girl?"

Hua Lingyan didn't expect that Liu Xingjue was actually thinking about whether Chen Chan was a thousand-handed poisonous girl, she thought that the master would have a more reliable explanation.

"In any case, I'll treat them with the Divine Qi Pill first and see if I can recover my memory. ”

"That girl, we currently call her Chen Chan-" Hua Lingyan hesitated, "What if she deliberately concealed it?"

Liu Xingjue put his hands behind his back. If Chen Chan is really a thousand-handed poisonous woman, then what is her purpose in accepting Hua Lingyan's invitation to come to the Ancient Mirror Gate......?

"Find someone to keep an eye on her. ”

"I'll get it done—by the way, master, Wudang's side has already been contacted, and Rose should be there in five days. ”

"Rose?" Liu Xingjue felt uncomfortable when he heard this name.

"No way, Your Majesty has been in poor health recently, and there are many things on Wudang's side, only Rose has seen a thousand hands of poisonous women and is still free. ”

Hua Lingyan also didn't want Wudang to send Rose, that person didn't have a good reputation in the rivers and lakes. There are rumors that Ross once killed his master, in fact, few people know who Rose's master is, at least no one knows about the ancient mirror gate, and he is also a close confidant of Zhang Shenghan, the current head of Wudang.

Hua Lingyan had a relationship with Ross at last year's martial arts conference.

If someone hadn't told her that it was Rose, she wouldn't have combined him with the rumored image.

Rose's expression was small, his expression was indifferent, and he was rejected, but his sense of alienation did not come from arrogance, but more like an innate character.

This kind of incongruity made Hua Lingyan feel that Ross was unfathomable, and even a little afraid of those slightly brown eyes.

Speaking of which, Rose's background is also vague in the rivers and lakes, and it is very similar to the Thousand-Handed Poisonous Girl......

"The head is waiting for you at the Nebula Altar. Liu Xingjue interrupted Hua Lingyan's thoughts.

"Good. ”

Hua Lingyan nodded, said goodbye to her master, and went straight to the Nebula Altar in the depths of the mountains.
