Tang Xi's eyes opened slightly under the dazzling light, and he saw a few white clouds floating in the blue sky. Tang Xi whispered softly: "It turns out that people still have senses even when they die." ”

Tang Xi sat up, and the pain on his body was indeed so real. Tang Xi's eyes looked around, and he saw that there was nothing else here except for the flat stone platform sitting under him. The surrounding hard and raised stone walls look like caves, but the top is indeed transparent as if there is nothing.

Tang Xi stood up and walked down the stone platform, and when he saw the clothes on his body that were scorched by the flames, he showed deep thought. After Tang Xi pinched himself hard, the pain that came made Tang Xi feel that he was still alive. Tang Xi smiled, and said secretly in his heart: "I didn't expect that I was still alive, master." ”

Tang Xi looked up at the blue sky, leaned against the hard and cold stone wall, and walked along the narrow passage. Walking through the winding path, a wide hall appeared in front of Tang Xi's eyes. In the hall, on a round futon, sat an old man. The old man was no more than three feet tall, with a white beard and silver hair on his calm face. A white silver silk robe, wrapping the body. The old man was like a child's little hand, reaching out to a round gossip plate in front of him, tinkering with something.

"Old man, why are you, I know that you won't leave me alone. Tang Xi smiled, swaggered to the side of the Tianchi boy, squatted on the ground, and looked at the gossip plate that he couldn't understand. I saw that on the gossip plate, one black and one white. There were also several jasper-like stones on the plate. The stones placed by the Tianchi boy are left and right.

Tianchi Boy glared at Tang Xi fiercely and did not speak. Holding a yellowed ancient book, while reading the book, while tinkering with the gossip plate in front of him.

Tang Xi was glared at by the Tianchi boy, his small body stepped back, and he sat on the ground. Tang Xi pouted, didn't dare to speak, and quietly watched the Tianchi boy tinkering.

"Stinky boy, did you forget the pain again, you not only burned the old man Qinglinmang, but also almost destroyed the entire peach blossom forest, how do you say you should compensate. "The Tianchi boy was busy with the gossip plate, as if talking to himself.

As soon as Tianchi Tongzi's words were finished, a giant cyan snake with thick thighs poked its head out from under Tianchi Tongzi, and on its big triangular head, its smart eyes stared at Tang Xi, opening its mouth, showing its fangs, and spitting out letters, showing hatred for Tang Xi.

When Tang Xi saw the long snake, his body was weak, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks. Tang Xi thinks that there are not many things he has been afraid of in his life, and this snake is one of them.

"Why are you scared now, weren't you quite brave before, not only burned its tongue, but also destroyed the peach blossom forest. Tianchi Boy saw Tang Xi sitting on the ground and sneered.

Tang Xi wanted to say that he was not afraid, but this snake was too thick, and its body was still so green. Living in Tangxi, the land of Sichuan and Shu, there are too many examples of snakes hurting people to death, and it is for this reason that Tangxi has been afraid of this kind of species since he was a child.

Qinglin seemed to see Tang Xi's fear, his body slipped towards Tang Xi, and quickly coiled Tang Xi, who was sitting paralyzed, a few times, and his tongue added a few strokes to Tang Xi's face. A chill swept through his body, and a fishy stench penetrated his nostrils. Tang Xi didn't dare to move, and let Qinglin recklessly act on his body.

If all this was a demon, Tang Xi wanted to wake up with a punch. If it was true, Tang Xi wanted to faint when none of this had happened.

"Okay, Qinglin, don't bully him. The Tianchi boy saw that Tang Xi seemed to be frightened, so he spoke.

Qinglin Mang slipped away from Tang Xi, Tang Xi stood up and exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, with a wary expression. Tang Xi said fiercely in his heart: "If that thing comes again, I hit the wall, this is torture." ”

Seeing Tang Xi's face full of horror, the Tianchi boy smiled, and even had more affection. The Tianchi boy took out a piece of sugar cake and handed it to Tang Xi. Tang Xi didn't hesitate, took the sugar cake, and nibbled on it three times and divided it by two, leaving everything that had just happened behind.

A piece of sugar cake was in his stomach, Tang Xi's vigilance relaxed slightly, and he sat in front of the Tianchi boy with a puzzled face. Because Tang Xi has a lot of questions to ask, Tang Xi wants to know, what exactly happened here. Although Tang Xi was afraid of the Tianchi boy in his heart, Tang Xi still chose to ask to the end.

"Tell me, old man, what all this is all about. Tang Xi said with a plea.

After the Tianchi boy placed a jade and white stone in the gossip plate, he said softly: "The place where you are now is the Mingjing Lake you saw in Tianchi Village, and Mingjing Lake is where the old man lives. ”

When Tang Xi heard this, he felt as if he had been hit. Tang Xi looked at the sky above and showed a look of disbelief. Tang Xi never thought that someone would live under the lake, which completely subverted Tang Xi's perception of the world.

"Don't be so surprised, Mingjing Lake is just a formation, the people in the formation can see the entire Taoyuan Village clearly, but the people outside the formation can't see the inside of the formation. ”

"The underwater monster you see is nothing but Qinglin Mang, and Qinglin Mang is a jumping spirit snake that I encountered when I went out a hundred years ago. Seeing that it has a spirit, it is brought back to be raised. The water monster you see on the surface of the lake is Qinglin Mang's real body, and at this moment, Qinglin Mang is the shrunken appearance. ”

"It's just that the peach blossoms you saw before blocked Qinglin Mang, it's just that the old man used the formation to scare you, all of this was deliberately done by the old man, just to keep you away from Mingjing Lake. ”

"It's just that I didn't expect you to light the lamp oil to destroy my peach blossom forest, so that you don't disturb the other villagers, so that you deliberately destroy it, so that you can also smoothly bring you to the bottom of the lake. You're going to be here sooner or later, anyway, but only a few days earlier. The Tianchi boy recounted them one by one.

Tang Xi finally understood at this moment, why the villagers of Taoyuan Village wanted to prevent Tang Xi from entering Mingjing Lake, it turned out that the Tianchi boy deliberately let Qinglin reckless scare the villagers in order to scare the villagers from approaching Mingjing Lake. It is precisely because of this that Qinglin Mang shows his tongue to scare people, and does not attack anyone.

"Okay, the peach blossom forest is ruined, and the villagers think you're dead, so you can stay here honestly!"

Tang Xi looked up at the sky, digesting all this in his mind. All this is really beyond Tang Xi's cognition, not to mention that Jinghu is the residence of Tianchi Boy, even if the huge body of Qinglin Mang can be reduced to this, Tang Xi has not seen it with his own eyes, I am afraid that he will not believe it in this life. Especially when Tianchi Tongzi said that a hundred years ago, Tang Xi even suspected that he had heard all this wrong.

"Does the ice dragon really exist?" Tang Xi seemed to muttered to himself.

"I don't know, the old man is wandering north and south of the river, and he really hasn't seen it. Tianchi Boy replied.

"Then what is the purpose of bringing me here? Tianchi Boy's words, after Tang Xi heard it, he immediately felt cheated, so he asked angrily.

Tianchi Tongzi dropped the gossip plate in his hand, stared at Tang Xi with both eyes, smiled, and walked over.

Tang Xi saw the strange eyes of the Tianchi boy, and his body unconsciously retreated until the stone wall blocked Tang Xi's body.
