Last night, Nie Xiaoqian and Chen Jianchen talked for a long time, but they didn't say too much substance, but more heartfelt words to each other; among them, Chen Jianchen mentioned that he wanted to join tomorrow's action, and Nie Xiaoqian immediately refused without hesitation: What kind of joke, how can he be a scholar mixed in? Fighting, killing, killing, and killing? Moreover, it is a great crime of rebellion against the official and rebellion!

However, Chen Jianchen insisted with all his might, and his attitude was very resolute, but Nie Xiaoqian couldn't resist it, so he had to agree. In her cognition, Chen Jianchen is not an ordinary weak talent after all, he is bold and knowledgeable, and when he gets there, he should still be able to play a certain role......

There may be a small role, as for the big role, Nie Xiaoqian didn't dare to think about it at all, now I heard that there was a peerless swordsman living in Lanruo Temple, and it sounded like he was still a friend of Chen Jianchen, so he immediately decided to go in with Chen Jianchen to invite someone.

Wu Yan and Huo Jun looked at each other, very stunned, and both showed a look of disbelief: There are people living in Lanruo Temple, and this matter itself is very mysterious, not to mention that there is a peerless swordsman living in it? Moreover, how did Chen Jianchen know that the other party would live in it? Could it be that it was agreed before......

Although they didn't believe it, they also wanted to see the demeanor of the peerless swordsman, and they wanted to see what was going on, so they naturally followed.

The main hall has collapsed a lot, and the original magnificent temple has long been destroyed, and it looks like a ruin, but the overall structure of the house is still there, silently supported, to show the scars that have been devastated by the vicissitudes of life to the visitors.

How can people live in such a situation?

Whether it was Wu Yan or Huo Jun, they were all suspicious, if Chen Jianchen was not Nie Xiaoqian's old acquaintance, they would definitely think that Chen Jianchen was a man of his own heart and turned over on the spot.

All the way, Chen Jianchen did not stop at the main hall, but went straight through, and only stopped when he reached the monk's house area at the back.

The monk's house area of Lanruo Temple is very large, the place is open, and a row of monks' houses forms a semicircle, enclosing them, just enclosing a large courtyard. There is a cistern in the middle of the courtyard. There is still half a pool of clear water in the pool, which must have been accumulated on a rainy day.

There are three lotus flowers growing in the pond, but the growth form is too far from the lotus flowers on the big lake outside, or because of the lack of nourishment, these three lotus flowers are all growing, and the lotus leaves are yellow, as if they will wither at any time.

As far as the eye can see, most of the surrounding monks' houses are dilapidated, the doors and windows are old, the dust is tired, and the wild grass outside the door is almost higher than the window sill.

"Huh?"

At this time, Wu Yan suddenly sighed and looked to the south.

Soon, everyone looked over there, and they saw a monk's house in the south, the door was as new, and the new doors and windows were made of bamboo strips to be installed, which looked completely different from other monks' houses, and it was clearly recently repaired.

Chen Jianchen's heart moved, and he took the lead in walking over to see: "Excuse me, is anyone there?"

There was no answer, and there was silence all around.

He walked up to the door again and knocked lightly, but there was still no response, no one was there, and he turned around and shook his head at Nie Xiaoqian. As for forcing oneself to push the door in and check inside, it is an uninvited guest, but it is not advisable.

At this time, Huo Jun couldn't help but say loudly: "I already knew, how could there be people living here? Even if there are people, they must have left early, it is impossible for them to live here permanently, and others are not crazy." ”

It took nearly half an hour to be by Chen Jianchen halfway, Huo Jun was quite angry in his heart, and he was very dissatisfied, but it was not easy to come out.

"Let's go......"

Chen Jianchen waved his hand - he came here, of course, to see if Yan Chixia would live here, and if he really did, he could pay a visit. But at present, it seems that he is still disappointed, a monk's house that has been cleaned up and sorted out cannot explain anything, let alone prove that it is the place where Yan Chixia lived.

There is no necessary connection between the two.

At that moment, the five of them left and turned to the right path. When I got to the backyard, the woods in front of me were dense all of a sudden, and they were all banyan trees, I don't know how many of them looked, the roots became a forest, and they stretched into a large area, it looked like a sea of banyan trees, the blue waves were like mountains, boundless, endless.

Looking at this banyan forest, Chen Jianchen's color suddenly changed, and he immediately remembered the tree demon that formed the "Bird's Paradise" entrenched on the Jianjiang River beach in Jiangzhou. It's just that in comparison, the scale of the sea of trees in front of me is more prosperous and vast, and it is so vast that it is enough to make people breathtaking. ...,

I don't know how many years it took to grow and develop to have such a lush banyan forest.

It's a bit unusual......

Chen Jianchen glanced at Ying Ning inquiringly, and Ying Ning shook his head, indicating that he didn't notice anything. Not to mention her, even Chen Jianchen's own righteousness showed no signs of fluctuation.

In this case, either this huge banyan forest is born naturally, or the other party's cultivation has reached an unfathomable level, and it is as unfathomable as the sea, which is not something they can feel......

Xiwang, it would be the former possibility.

Without much hesitation, the five of them began to enter the woods, and this entry, they suddenly found that they had entered another shijie, an obscure, damp, and dayless shijie—

In this shijie, everywhere you look, there are banyan roots as thick as an arm, like vines, tangled and mixed together.

At the beginning, the road was easy to walk, but the more inside, the denser it became, and slowly the road was gone. The roots are like spider webs, and there may be some places just enough for a person to pass through, even if it is a road. However, this road is more appropriate to call it a tree hole, and I don't know where it leads.

The situation is far more complicated than you think.

The five looked at each other, and they all saw the astonishment in each other's eyes.

Nie Xiaoqian's face was solemn, and she said, "Three senior brothers, ......"

Wu Yan seemed to know what she would say, and immediately interrupted: "Little junior sister, you don't have to say anything superfluous, let's go." ”

Huo Jun also said: "Yes, little junior sister, the master once said when he accepted us to get started, the same family is like compatriots, one person is in trouble, and the other three must fight no matter what." We are not afraid of swords, we are not afraid of the government, we dare to kill officials and rebel, will we still be afraid of this forest?"

Hearing this, Nie Xiaoqian was greatly moved, tears appeared in her eyes, she looked at Chen Jianchen again, and persuaded: "Liuxian, the situation is different, you should take the scholar out and return to the temple to stay with Senior Brother Xia." She was really worried that Chen Jianchen and Ying Ning would not be able to stand such hardship.

Chen Jianchen looked around, and suddenly smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that Yijing won't be able to get out!"

What the?

Nie Xiaoqian and the others were puzzled, and they didn't know why Chen Jianchen would answer such a sentence. However, they soon knew what Chen Jianchen meant.

An hour later:

"Senior brother, do you think it's strange?"

"Strange?"

"Well, how do I think we've been going around in circles. ”

Wu Yan's face was heavy, obviously agreeing, and he immediately shouted: "Third junior brother, we use weapons as a code." ”

Huo Jun agreed, brandished his long sword, and together with Wu Yan, he used the weapons in his hands to carve unique identification patterns on the trunks of the trees that passed by.

......

After about a few hours, when the tree trunk with the pattern appeared in front of everyone, they gasped: they were really lost!

Wu Yan didn't panic too much, and said to Nie Xiaoqian in a deep voice: "Little junior sister, use light skills, go up!"

Nie Xiaoqian hummed, and walked up a tree trunk with light skills to see if she could walk out of it. However, these trunks are all roots derived from a large banyan tree, coiled and entangled, staggered and horizontal, layer by layer, like a huge net without flaws, which cannot be worn at all, and if you want to cut it with a weapon, the project is too vast and unrealistic.

As a last resort, Nie Xiaoqian jumped down again, panting slightly, and said, "Senior brother, you can't go out of it." ”

Huo Jun's eyes widened, and he said a little angrily: "Senior brother, why don't we burn it with fire." ”

Wu Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's difficult." If it really burns, I'm afraid we will also be buried in the fire. ”

Nie Xiaoqian gritted her teeth: "Let's go!" I don't believe that we will be trapped by this forest." ”

I don't know how long it took, maybe it was afternoon, maybe it was dusk, and when the familiar road signs and guidance appeared in front of them again, the tired and tired Nie Xiaoqian and the others almost despaired.

Going around in circles, they've been going around in circles, it's just the difference between small circles and big circles.

At this time, Chen Jianchen was a little anxious, Ying Ning had already tried, and secretly used magic to tempt, but to no avail, the incalculable roots of the banyan tree that existed around him were all real existences, not illusions, nor ghosts hitting the wall. Since it is a real plant, Chen Jianchen's righteousness is also helpless.

They were trapped halfway through, caught in a dilemma.

"How so...... How could it be ......"

Nie Xiaoqian was the first to panic, her panic was not worried about her own safety, but worried about her father. If they were trapped like this and couldn't get out, they were afraid that the prisoner car on the other side to release their father would have already passed outside and gone north to the capital.

"I'm going out, I'm going out!"

She shouted in emotion, swinging her sword to slash at the tendrils that stood in her way.

However, the roots of those banyan trees were the thickness of a person's upper arm, and they were extremely tough, even though she had the strength, but after cutting a few of them, her strength was not sustained, and her movements slowed down significantly.

Bang!

Suddenly, there was a thunderclap, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the rain poured down, through the dense branches and leaves, and dripped on their heads and bodies.

At this time, it actually rained heavily. As the rain fell, the already dark woods became even more gloomy, almost to the point where there was no way to see the road.

Getting lost, torrential rain, dark, all kinds of unfavorable objective situations all came together at once, coupled with their own fatigue - the predicament, faintly became a desperate situation!
