Chapter Twenty-Five: The First Encounter Outside the Forest
The silver moon is like a hook, dotted with stars, the black carriage slowly drives on the vast field, and the cool breeze of the summer night blows quietly, making people's hearts quiet.
After all, Xia Sheng chose to compromise and walked with everyone in the unknown night.
Only by this time the man who drove the carriage had been replaced by himself, and Tam Dali was driven into the carriage.
Ten thousand years is too long, the whole world has already changed, Xia Sheng can only rely on the vague memory in his mind to find a general direction, and it has been almost half an hour now.
But he still didn't see any shadow of the spirit wood.
Maybe tonight's encounter was too exciting, the girls in the car were not tired at all, and were still whispering something, Shui Er raised the lock ring on his wrist from time to time to look left and right, his face was full of interest, like a child who had just gotten a new toy.
Ye Xiao'e's heart was also full of joy, discussing the majesty of the spirit snake with Shui Er lively, but she didn't know what she suddenly thought, and her cheeks were faintly hot.
In contrast, he seemed uncomfortable, unable to speak, did not know where to look, and even had nowhere to put his hands and feet.
In the end, Tam Dali simply took off the long knife at his waist, faced the brilliant starlight, and carefully wiped it.
Xia Sheng held the reins lightly, his eyes were serene, and he didn't seem too eager or regretful, because he had done too much of the same thing in previous lives.
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Just keep a normal heart.
He hummed an ancient tune from 10,000 years ago in his mouth, and beat lightly on his leg with one hand, thinking to himself that it would be beautiful if there was another pot of good wine at this time.
The carriage continued to move forward, stepping on the grass without a trace, and the breeze was dawning.
It is a rare leisure in my heart.
I don't know how long it was, maybe it was the time of a stick of incense, or maybe it was an hour, but when Xia Sheng shook his head and was about to return with the reins, Shui'er's voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
"Look! there's a forest ahead!"
Xia Sheng's heart trembled, and he subconsciously stopped the carriage, turned his head, and saw Shui Er sticking out a small head from the roof of the car, with a flash of elation in his eyes.
Xia Sheng also learned from her to stand up, raised her eyes and looked into the distance, and sure enough, just a few miles ahead, a different scene finally appeared.
Towering trees rise from the ground, like a forest of guns, shining under the blue starlight!
From a distance, this vast forest is a little frighteningly silent, the forest is pitch black, nothing can be seen, but invisibly, it brings an extremely oppressive sense of heaviness, which makes people a little breathless.
Xia Sheng drove the carriage to the front, looked up at the towering giant tree, and suddenly frowned slightly.
His instincts told him that something wasn't quite right in the woods.
Shui'er put his arms on the roof of the car, stretched his neck, looked around curiously, and then shouted again: "There seems to be a stone tablet there, what is written on it?"
Xia Sheng followed Shui'er's gaze, indeed, at the entrance of this dense forest, there was a one-person-high stone stele, but the handwriting on the stele was already a little blurry and could not be distinguished.
So he simply got out of the carriage and came to the stele, but immediately narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Forget to return to the forest. ”
Tam Dali also got out of the carriage and said suspiciously: "Is Xia Gongzi's friend living here......?"
For a while, Xia Sheng was also a little undecided, you must know that the seed he planted at the beginning was the famous tree of life in his homeland, if it had taken root and sprouted, it should not have been like this.
Because the first impression that this forest brought to Xia Sheng was not life and hope, but an indescribable weirdness.
But for 10,000 years, who knows what will happen in the intervening period?
Could it be that the tree species has undergone a wrong mutation and evolution in the process of growth?
In this regard, Xia Sheng has no way to answer for the time being, if he wants to find the final answer, he can only take a look at the forest.
And just when Xia Sheng was still hesitating, he suddenly clenched the long knife in his hand, turned around, looked at the darkness not far away, and shouted: "Who!"
This loud shout immediately made Xia Sheng and Shui Er's faces tighten, and the two of them activated the sword qi and master spirit in their bodies almost at the same time, and looked vigilantly at an ancient tree outside the forgotten forest.
After a while, the group appeared from behind the tree with some helplessness, and with a gentle smile on the face of the first person, he said, "It turned out that someone from Ye Mansion came here, what a coincidence." ”
Hearing this, Xia Sheng couldn't help but turn his head to look at Shui'er, could it be that he was someone they knew?
But he never thought about it, and just caught a touch of panic on Shui'er's face.
In an instant, Xia Sheng's doubts became a little heavier.
What Xia Sheng didn't expect was that when he turned his head, he saw that Tam Dali took the initiative to put away the long knife in his hand, took a step forward in some panic, and saluted the young man.
"I've seen ......"
The young man waved his hand, helped him up, patted him lightly on the back, and said with a smile: "Everyone is out of the house, so there is no need to be so polite, Brother Ram still looks so majestic!"
After speaking, the young man's gaze crossed the rammer, and naturally fell on Xia Sheng's body, and he was a little stunned.
At the same time, Xia Sheng was also looking at each other suspiciously.
This young man came empty-handed, but as if all evil could not invade, his wrist flashed with brilliant apricot yellow light, and a bright white one-horned phantom stood on his forehead, carrying divine light, which made people feel awe.
But this is not the most attractive thing about Xia Sheng, if Xia Sheng must express his first impression of this teenager in one word, it must be: amazing.
Like Xia Sheng, this young man was dressed in white, but the clothes used were fine ice silk, which set off his handsome face just right, like a white and holy snow lotus, quietly blooming from the heavens and the earth, making all beings fall for it.
It's unbelievable that a big man can be born so beautiful.
Xia Sheng had no doubt that if this young man was a daughter, he would definitely become a disaster for the country and the city.
But at this time, the girl's delicate and charming body could not be seen on the young man's body, but it gave people an incomparably sunny feeling in the night, as if only one of his smiles could dispel all the gloom and gloom clouds in the world, giving people incomparable hope.
He is like a beam of light that shines into the darkest places of every human heart and illuminates it.
Xia Sheng was stunned, then looked away, and landed his gaze on the jade jue on the young man's waist, pausing slightly.
If he is not mistaken, this should be a piece of fine mutton fat white jade, which is worth a fortune.
At the same time, the boy's voice sounded appropriately.
"Who is this?" In an instant, the young man had already come to Xia Sheng's face, and he stretched out his palm in a friendly manner, with a warm smile on his face.
"Xia Sheng. Xia Sheng stretched out his hand and shook it gently with the other party to show kindness.
However, immediately afterward, he secretly frowned in his heart, because the other party had obviously reported a pseudonym.
"It turned out to be Xia Gongzi, the first time we met, it was really a blessing, you can call me Ah Long. ”
