In the early spring, the spring green valley, as rumored, is full of green grass, without a trace of superfluous variegation, stone houses dotted on this green nature, chimneys curling smoke, everything is harmonious and warm.

It was a beautiful morning as always in Chunlu Valley, Zhang Xinhua pushed open the door of the Sanwei Medical Center, and crossed her small waist with both hands.

The location of the Sanwei Medical Center is particularly good, with a panoramic view of the Chunlu Valley at the main entrance, and the spring green color of the Chunlv Valley on a morning basis, Zhang Xinhua feels comfortable and has the motivation to start a new day.

Those children who came to Chunlu Valley earlier than Zhang Xinhua did not have the blessing of her to see the color of spring green, especially Zhang Haotian, who was the child who wanted to see the early spring scenery here the most.

"Xinhua, what are you looking at?" Tao walked out of the infirmary and asked Zhang Xinhua softly, he was just two people from his usual life.

"When I wake up in the morning, I feel that the valley is very beautiful, and the grass on the ground is very soft, so it is very comfortable to sit on. After that, Zhang Xinhua immediately sat on the grass and almost rolled on it.

Looking at Zhang Xinhua like this, Tao just smiled warmly, looking at Zhang Xinhua's eyes with gentleness: "Then let Aunt Xue take it out to eat this morning's breakfast, such a good grass, we can't waste it, right?"

"Yes, Master!"

Zhang Xinhua became Tao's apprentice a month ago, and followed Tao to learn pharmacology and medical skills. However, she is a little baby who has a special hobby of medicinal herbs that ordinary people are not interested in, and every time Tao teaches her to know a new medicinal herb, she is more excited than ever.

Because of her existence, Tao began to feel that there are indeed some people in the world whose interests and talents are innate, and once they come into contact with them, the connection between them will be difficult to severe.

"You're really spoiling her. Su Lidi slowly paced out of the medical hall, and couldn't help but say a word, in his impression, Tao's personality was slightly dark and withdrawn, it was hard to imagine that he would have such a day to pamper his disciples.

"Can't you?" Tao looked back and smiled smugly, "With such a good apprentice, of course I will spoil her." ”

"Yes, yes, you can spoil her as much as you like. Su Lidi couldn't put on any other expression now except for smiling helplessly.

"Good morning, Uncle Su!" Zhang Xinhua sat on the grass and opened her throat to greet Su Lidi and raised her palm.

Su Lidi was also happy, squatted down in front of Zhang Xinhua, stretched out his hand and gently hit Zhang Xinhua's small palm: "Xiao Xinhua is really polite, Uncle Shi likes such a polite child the most." Tonight, after your gloomy master has taught you, he will tell you a new story. ”

"Is it a puppet?" asked Zhang Xinhua, pulling her head.

"Of course, when the master tells a story, he must use puppets to tell the story. Su Lidi replied with a smile.

"Uncle Shi's puppet show is the best. Zhang Xinhua smiled even sweeter, and Su Lidi was much happier when he looked at it.

"It's still Xiao Xinhua's sweet mouth, unlike your master who knows how to talk back to his uncle all day long. Su Lidi scolded by the way.

Tao didn't bother to reply to his mouth, with an indifferent look: "Okay, you go play first, and then call you over when your Aunt Xue makes breakfast." ”

"Hmm. Zhang Xinhua happily ran down the hillside, she lived so freely every day, with Master loving her, Aunt Xue taking care of her, and Uncle Su making her happy, even the people in the village liked her. Zhang Xinhua likes life here more than in the Zhang family, except for a few people in the Zhang family, no one will like her at all.

Tao and Su Lidi stood at the door of the medical hall and kept looking at Zhang Xinhua who was so happy and comfortable, and the heaviness they had carried for so many years would be a little lighter when they saw Zhang Xinhua's happy smile.

"I also want to have an apprentice like Xinhua. Su Lidi sighed after taking a deep breath of the morning air in the Spring Green Valley.

"Aren't you planning to take that kid from your family's family as an apprentice, your master was also a member of your family, isn't it just right to take him as an apprentice?"

"How can this kid of Eryan Valley be as cute as Xinhua? It's just a bastard boy who is easy to think highly of himself, I hope that this time he can sharpen his temperament by letting him find a thousand machine holes. Although he said this, he could see that Su Lidi still valued Eryan Valley very much.

"Anyway, will he look for it, and he will go to other strange places, for example, he thinks there is some secret passage on the side of the Gathering Spirit Spring Female Pool. Tao said half-jokingly.

Su Lidi still couldn't help laughing: "How is it possible? I don't want to go over there, I saw the lotus blossom on the stone from the mountain gate, there are a total of eight lotus petals in the stone lotus platform, and a poem is engraved under the eight petals, with the most prominent petal of the lotus carved as the first sentence, which can be connected into a complete poem, as long as he can understand the true meaning of the poem, he can find the Qianji Cave." ”

"You've had a year to go, and it looks like that kid still has a long way to go. He sighed.

Su Lidi also agreed with his words, for those who want to find Qianji Cave, there is a long way waiting for him, especially Eryan Valley who has gone in the wrong direction completely.

......

Zhang Haotian woke up from his coma, everything he could see in front of him gradually became clear, a cave opened on a hill halfway up the mountainside, on both sides of which were dense cedar forests, this was where they started, they obviously fell into that strange blurred space, but now they returned to the original starting point.

Zhang Haotian turned over with difficulty, trying to find Xu Zifeng and them, and found that Xu Zifeng and Eryangu were lying next to him, and Zhang Haotian breathed a sigh of relief. Probably because Eryan Gu was carrying Xu Zifeng on his back, they fell asleep on top of each other in a strange position. Fortunately, they also returned to the waterhole cave at the beginning with him, otherwise Zhang Hao naively didn't know what he should do next.

After climbing to Xu Zifeng's side, Zhang Haotian was a little more relieved. Zhang Haotian began to wake them up, and Eryangu woke up smoothly, but Xu Zifeng was still unconscious. It's no wonder that, unlike them, Xu Zifeng's body was severely tortured by the furnace lotus heart.

"Zifeng, Zifeng. No, you can't wake him up, Haotian, he'll be fine. After waking up, Yan Gu, who helped Zhang Haotian call Xu Zifeng, asked worriedly.

Zhang Haotian didn't know Xu Zifeng's situation, and subconsciously looked at Xu Zifeng's left hand on the stone platform that was wrapped with white silk, and found that the white silk wrapped around Xu Zifeng's hand was gone, Zhang Haotian became uneasy and untied Xu Zifeng's clothes.

Zhang Haotian pulled Xu Zifeng's placket with both hands, and Xu Zifeng's chest was exposed. At the position of the heart, the skin on the original chest was gone, replaced by a red transparent crystal, similar in shape to flowing lava, but this one was a fixed crystal, and the rhythm of the red light was exactly the same as the rhythm of a person's heartbeat.

"It's ...... Did the Furnace Lotus Heart replace Xu Zifeng's heart?" Although Eryan Gu didn't know anything about the Furnace Lotus Heart, from the appearance alone, Xu Zifeng's heart was the Furnace Lotus Heart at this moment.

"That's right, it's exactly the same as what Wang Zhao said about the Furnace Lotus Heart, now that Zifeng has become like this, what should I do?" Zhang Haotian forced his brain to spin rapidly, but when there were so few things that could be used, he really didn't have a good idea.

"You decide, Haotian. Eryangu suddenly asked for this, Zhang Haotian panicked, he didn't think he had so much ability to decide where they went.

Usually Zhang Haotian will also say his thoughts, but in the end it was Xu Zifeng who agreed with his thoughts and actions, without his affirmation, Zhang Haotian did not have this confidence.

"No, I can't, in case something goes wrong. At this time, Zhang Haotian obviously did not have much courage and confidence.

"You can, Haotian. If you're not right, Zifeng won't approve of you. It was you who saw the four sentences on the stone wall, it was you who led us out of the cedar forest, it was you who took us to jump down when the stone platform was at a critical moment, if you hadn't decisively pushed us down at that time, we would definitely not have a way to live. If it is Haotian and you make the decision, I can rest assured. ”

Looking at Eryangu expectantly, Zhang Haotian seemed to be infected by his trust, he was the only one who could act, if Eryangu couldn't do it, only he could take them out of this ghost place.

Zhang Haotian stretched out his hand and took out the colorless crystal from his body: "Then let's go to Tingfengtai, there is no doubt that we are going there, but when it is the seventh hour, I still don't understand what it means." ”

"But where is the wind platform? We're back to where we started, and there's no clue at all. He looked back at the Furnace Cave behind him, which could only be seen in this clearing, and once he entered the cedar forest, his vision would be obscured.

"Probably behind the Crucible Cave, we're going around that mountain. ”

"How do you know?" Eryangu looked back at Zhang Haotian in surprise.

"Listen to the wind in front of the platform, the furnace cave sky. Didn't Zifeng say it, the first half of the sentence is about the direction, we have to go around the mountain of the furnace cave to reach the listening wind platform. ”

"I've encountered so many things in the Crucible that I've forgotten a little. Yan Gu smiled awkwardly, in fact, he didn't listen to Xu Zifeng's words at all.

"Then let's go first. Zhang Haotian said that the colorless crystals were put back on his body, and he was about to help Xu Zifeng up in a coma, but there was a tiger roar in the distance that made Haotian and Yangu shudder.
