Chapter 16: The Secret Cave in the Forest
After hearing Yan Kang's help to cover up the past, Yan Wuji and Ling Han walked towards the forest they had been to in the evening.
Ling Han looked around and asked, "What exactly are you looking for?"
Yan Wuji smiled softly: "I thought you wouldn't ask." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Ling Han to answer, and continued: "I don't know, during the day, I feel that there are no beasts in that area, but there is a special smell of Danshi. ”
Ling Han said suspiciously, "Why didn't I smell it, is it because you are an alchemist?"
Yan Wuji said: "It should be, I have had a relatively strong mental power since I was a child, and my perception is far beyond ordinary people. ”
Ling Han: "Aren't you afraid that if you encounter a fierce beast, the two of us may not be able to deal with it." ”
Yan Wuji said: "There will be no beasts in that forest!"
Ling Han: "How do you know? When you showed Senior Sister Li the way, you knew that there was a black bear there?"
Yan Wuji: "I can feel it." I didn't know it was a black bear, but I knew there was a little beast over there. ”
Ling Han was silent for a while and said, "You seem to have a lot of secrets. ”
Yan Wuji smiled and asked softly, "What about you, for example, why do you always guard me? Are you really from Fengyang County?"
Ling Han paused for a moment and replied, "I'm not from Fengyang County, I'm here to find someone from the True Martial Academy." ”
Yan Wuji asked jokingly, "Are you looking for me?"
Ling Han: "I don't know who I'm looking for, but it won't be you!"
Yan Wuji changed the topic: "I don't feel that there is any danger there, but you must always be on guard, and you must be careful for a while!"
Ling Han nodded "um".
The two chatted while walking, and soon came to the big tree with paper talismans, Yan Wuji put away the paper talismans, and stood there with his eyes closed.
Ling Han stood beside Yan Wuji, vigilantly observing the movements nearby, and at the same time also sniffed subconsciously.
Yan Wuji opened his eyes and pointed in the direction of the south, and the two continued to walk for about 5 minutes before they saw a relatively thick old tree.
Yan Wuji pointed to the old tree next to him and said softly: "It should be here, there is the smell of elixir, it seems that there is something with a strong aura, and there are ...... It looks like a small beast. As he spoke, he took out his sword and pointed it at the tree.
Ling Han hurriedly grabbed Yan Wuji, who was about to make a move, and asked her to stand aside. He circled around the old tree a few times, looked at it carefully, and then reached out and inserted the moss along a cracked line on the old tree's body, and pulled it out, and pulled it open.
Ling Han fought with his arms, and unexpectedly pulled open a half-meter square wooden board with "bark", revealing a cave inside, the old tree was actually hollow, and a strong fragrance of pills wafted out.
It seems that someone deliberately made one side of this old tree into the "shape of a door", and then hollowed out part of the heart of the tree, closed the "tree door" and smeared moss along the gaps.
As soon as the "Tree Gate" was pulled open and appeared, the eyes of Yan Wuji and Ling Han both looked into the tree hole.
By the moonlight, they saw that there was a white thing in the tree hole and squirmed, and then they saw a pair of small black eyes looking out of the cave with some grievances and confusion, as if they didn't expect that suddenly the tree hole would be opened, and the tree hole was opened to disturb their good dreams.
Yan Wuji exclaimed, "A little white cat!"
Maybe it was suddenly startled by the sound.
The white mass in the hollow of the tree shook as if it had grown taller, and a hostile light appeared in its eyes, and it opened its little mouth to make a grinning appearance.
The whole body of the little thing seems to make a posture of declaring "this is my territory, you must look good if you dare to move", but with the round body and small size, it is really difficult for people to really feel the "fierce threat", but I feel that there is an indescribable cute and natural cuteness.
Yan Wuji slowly squatted down, and while approaching the tree hole, he slowly said softly, "Little white cat, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, why did you run into the tree hole alone?
Ling Han watched Yan Wuji talking to the unknown little animal, a little incredulous, standing nervously next to him, his right hand was already holding the black cloth bag, ready to save Yan Wuji at any time.
The white little thing seemed to sniff Yan Wuji's outstretched hand, but it didn't resist, but soothed its body, and turned into a white ball at the beginning, so Yan Wuji was allowed to hug it, and his little head went to Yan Wuji's arms.
Yan Wuji tried to change his posture and hug, but the little thing still turned his head and arched towards Yan Wuji. Yan Wuji thought about it and took out a brocade bag from his arms, took out a pill from it and put it in the palm of his hand, and asked suspiciously, "Are you hungry?"
Sure enough, the little thing turned around and approached Yan Wuji's little hand holding the pill, and then suddenly showed an astonishing speed, "whoosh" and bit the pill, swallowed it directly into his stomach, and then looked at Yan Wuji's bag with a look of unfinished business.
Yan Wuji smiled lightly and said, "It turned out to be a gluttonous cat." I'll give you another one, I can't eat it all at once, I don't have much!"
After all, under the pitiful little eyes of Bai Tuan'er, the elixir in Yan Wuji's brocade bag was still half missing. In the end, Yan Wuji sealed the brocade bag and put it back into his arms.
When Yan Wuji fed Bai Yuantuan'er the second pill, Ling Han had already begun to check the tree hole, and Bai Yuantuan'er glanced at Ling Han, then turned his head and continued to ask Yan Wuji for the elixir.
At this time, Ling Han had already inspected the tree cave and said softly to Yan Wuji: "There should have been spirit stones and pills in the tree cave before, but now there are only some medicine dregs and stone slags left, I don't know if this little thing is eaten as a meal." ”
Yan Wuji teased Bai Tuan'er, he liked it very much, and Bai Yuantuan'er seemed to be very spiritual, enjoying Yan Wuji's gentle strokes of the white hair on his body, looking like he was enjoying after eating and drinking.
Ling Han said, "Let's go back, shall we?"
Yan Wuji whispered to Bai Yuantuan: "Little white cat, are you a little white cat? You see that you don't even have anything to eat in your house, can you go back with me? I will refine the pill! You like to eat pills so much, the pills I will refine in the future will become more and more advanced and delicious!"
The white round group looked at the tree hole a few times with some reluctance.
Yan Wuji said: "Who sealed you in the tree hole? I will leave here tomorrow morning, or we will restore this place to its original state, and then have the opportunity to bring you back to find the person who sealed you in the tree hole?"
Bai Tuan'er closed his eyes and shrunk his head, as if he had become a sphere!
Ling Han listened to Yan Wuji's words, and wanted to close the "tree gate" again, Yan Wuji thought about it, put the paper talisman that he had taken off from the tree before into the place where the white ball was lying in the tree hole, and then stepped aside.
Ling Han sealed the "tree gate", and found a gap in the camouflage of moss, mud, and withered grass, and walked back one after another with Yan Wuji, who was holding a white ball.
