Chapter 4: The Stone Steps of the Dark River

According to his previous memories, Mu Fan slowly touched the place where he and Song Changgeng had been. Seeing the bushes in the forest, he knew that this place was not far from the cave.

Xiao Wan followed behind him, saw his serious expression, and asked him the reason twice.

Mu Fan only replied that this was a very important matter, and the exercise was not worth mentioning at all.

He walked into the bushes and walked to the place where Song Changgeng fell. At that time, there was a honeycomb nearby, but it is no longer available, and it is estimated that it was eaten by the bear with thick skin and thick skin.

That's when the poisonous bee spotted him, and he jumped into a quagmire.

Mu Fan walked again, the quagmire was about to dry up, and there were many changes from a year ago.

He took Xiaowan to the river, walked along the riverbank, and soon saw a lake.

Mu Fan chuckled, the place was right.

Just by diving down from the lake, it is possible to discover the underground river beneath the lake. The Dark River is connected to a small waterhole in the cave, and there is a strange staircase in the Dark River.

Xiao Wan looked at the lake and asked, "Do you want to go down?" ”

Mu Fan nodded, and said with a slightly mysterious smile: "You may meet a few friends later, don't be too excited." ”

Xiao Wan thought in her heart: "What friends can I meet here, mysterious and mysterious." ”

Mu Fan rolled up the green snake robe and jumped into the lake. Xiao Wan saw that the young master jumped into the water first, and then jumped in as well.

The lake is cold and the weather is not warm in early spring. Both of them are monks, so it is enough to get used to it.

Mu Fan dived underwater, and after a while, he saw a cloud of black things swimming towards him.

Xiao Wan didn't know what those black things were, and hurriedly took out the flying sword from the storage ring.

Mu Fan swam to Xiao Wan's side, hugged her, and shook his head at her.

The milk-eating beasts put Mu Fan and Xiao Wan on top of their heads, and swam into the underground river with ease.

"Sure enough, these milk-eating beasts know me and can find me. Not long after I sank underwater, they were able to come so quickly. Mu Fan closed his eyes and followed the milk-eating beast down.

Inside the dark river, the milk-eating beast floated to the surface of the water and lifted Mu Fan and Xiaowan off the water.

After the silk threads of the green snake robe on Mu Fan's body were opened and closed, the water on the clothes disappeared.

Xiao Wan doesn't have a green snake gown, and it takes time to evaporate the water on her clothes with Zhenyuan. During this time, Mu Fan saw Xiao Wan in wet clothes.

Mu Fan looked at it carefully from top to bottom several times. He just wanted to say that Xiaowan not only looks good, but also has a first-class figure.

Intentionally or not, Xiao Wan gently picked up the hair next to her ears, and a few drops of lake water slid from her ears to her neck, and then down to her collarbone.

"Goo-toot!"

The sound of Mu Fan swallowing saliva sounded in the silent dark river, which seemed extremely abrupt.

When Xiao Wan heard it, she couldn't help but smile and asked, "Am I beautiful?" ”

"Beautiful! Beautiful! ”

Xiao Wan deliberately raised her head and threw her wet hair behind her. The moment was full of flair.

Mu Fan raised Xiao Wan's chin, "It's getting naughty and naughty." ”

Xiao Wan raised her head, stretched out her hand to pick up Mu Fan's chin, and said, "Why, only you are allowed to breathe the girl, not me." Here, give this girl a smile. ”

Mu Fan opened his arms and just wanted to hug Xiao Wan, but Xiao Wan pushed lightly, lowered her head and said, "Don't mess with you, my sister is sober." ”

At this moment, he suddenly felt that the separation was imminent, and it must not be delayed any longer.

Xiao Wan looked around and asked, "Is there anything special here?" ”

Mu Fan said: "Don't worry, wait a while, you have to look carefully." ”

Xiao Wan asked, "Which side do I see?" ”

"Follow my hand, I don't know the exact direction, probably in that direction."

Xiao Wan ran Zhenyuan and steamed the water on her body, "These...... The milk-eating beast seems to know you. ”

She had read about lactivores, which were too different from reality to be recognized and accepted.

Mu Fan smiled bitterly: "I think so too, it's strange that I didn't go far when I was a child, how can these milk-eating beasts know me?" ”

"I don't know." Xiao Wan shook her head, and then said, "Maybe you went out when you were a child, but you forgot." ”

"Before I was five years old, my brain was a mess, and I didn't even have the impression of my parents."

Xiao Wan said: "Could it be that in those five years, some people didn't want you to remember some things, so they deliberately erased or sealed that memory." ”

"I've thought about this before, so I've checked it. Due to being the young master of the Mu family, my whereabouts in the past five years have been traced, and none of them have recorded that I have been to the underground river. ”

"The family has great powers, and it may not be impossible to hide from the world."

Mu Fan shook his head and said with a smile: "The matter between my parents is necessary for the family to hide from me. But my whereabouts are different, from one year old to five years old, and there is no need to hide it. ”

Xiaowan couldn't figure this out, if it wasn't deliberately hidden at home, it was for what reason.

Mu Fan felt that his memory was confused, and it might be related to the Great Black Sky Remnant Soul in the depths of the Qi Sea. As for the reason why others put the Great Black Sky Remnant Soul in his Qi Sea, he felt powerless and couldn't think of what the reason was.

Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard Xiao Wan say, "Isn't it that stone step?" ”

Mu Fan hurriedly asked the milk-eating beast to stop swimming, and looked at it carefully, "That's right." ”

"Xiaowan, if you encounter danger later, you should escape as soon as possible."

Xiao Wan is not hypocritical, she understands that once she encounters a problem that cannot be solved, one more person is just one more life. Fleeing first and going back to the same door to rescue is the correct solution.

However, there is one thing she disagrees with, "When you encounter danger, I will be responsible for the break, and you go back to ask for help." ”

Mu Fan pinched Xiao Wan's cheek and said, "I really shouldn't have brought you in." ”

"Your life is not only your own, but also the Mu family. I am the Mu family, and a part of your life is mine. ”

Mu Fan didn't bother to argue with her, and if he really encountered danger, he didn't know how he would choose.

People are always changing, and he always regards Xiaowan as a treasure. A year ago, he could fight Shasan for her, and even give his life for her.

After a year, he evaded the pursuit of various forces at the foot of the Falling Snow Mountains, and disregarded life and death when the Sword Sect eliminated the traitors...... They should love each other more, and they do value each other more.

But Mu Fan has changed and become more mature. Xiaowan has changed and has become considerate of the big picture.

As Xiao Wan said, Mu Fan's life is not just his own.

He didn't dare, his death would be a heavy blow to the Mu family. The heirloom died, the head of the family was old, and many people coveted the Mu family's great inheritance.

Mu Fan wanted to refute, but in the end he couldn't say the reason to refute.

"It's best if you don't encounter danger, and if you do, your body will react to it." That's all he could do to comfort himself.

"Take me to the stone steps." He patted the head of the milk eater, "Be quiet." ”

The milk-eating beast sticks a tentacle out of the water and swings it up and down a few times, as if a human is nodding.
