The night, the dark night like ink, and the bright stars of the past are gone.

A young man, as if blended into the night, ran towards the mysterious forbidden place in the west of the city.

Running, as if forgetting all the dangers, as if forgetting the mysterious place, just for the warm embrace of childhood, running, running! Ahead, there was no road, only the steep trees on both sides stood alone, indifferent, as if laughing at this ignorant man!

I don't know how long I ran, and suddenly, there seemed to be a little light in front of me coming out of the trees in the distance, Feng Zimo saw it, hurriedly stopped, hid under a tree, poked his head out, and looked at the light in front of him.

I saw that among the trees in front of me, the bright lights of one point, two points, and three points came out of the trees one after another with the firelight at the beginning, and Feng Zimo took a closer look, and it turned out to be a group of guards patrolling the path in the forest with lanterns. In a moment, the group of guards disappeared into another path that branched off beside it.

After a while, the surroundings were quiet again, Feng Zimo quietly walked to the fork of the two paths, and looked in the direction where the guards walked, only to see that the trees in front of him were dense, and the lights were faintly flashing in the forest, gradually moving away, it seemed to be an eye hidden in the dark, vigilant of every grass and tree in the forest. Feng Zimo frowned, he really couldn't imagine that with the prestige and reputation of the General's Mansion in the local area, a seemingly simple forbidden place would be guarded by so many people even at this time of night, could it be because the thief that Hui'er Ming'er talked about a few days ago sneaked into the forbidden place, so the guards were strengthened? However, the more people who guarded it, wouldn't it mean that the rumored elixir was more likely to be stored here・・・・・・?

Thinking of this, the original little doubt in Feng Zimo's heart also dissipated like a fog, and his heart slowly settled down, and the hope that was in his mind gradually became clear at this moment, and at that moment Feng Zimo clenched his fists, his eyes became unusually firm, and he thought: Today I must get the elixir, cure my mother's illness, and save my mother's life, otherwise, I Feng Zimo will be imprisoned in this forbidden place forever!

A gust of wind, a shadow, crossed the path in a trance, surging towards the darkness ahead. On the stone-brick path, a few fallen leaves swirled into the air with the wind, and after a few steps, they fell softly, dizzy, as if they were tired of their surroundings. All around, there was endless darkness・・・・・・ silence・・・・・・ and the vague indifference that came from the forest・・・・・・

"Smack!"

A drop of sweat fell from the air, stained with the fine dust on the low and wide leaves on the side of the road, and then followed the veins of the leaves, dripping into the stone bricks under his feet, a black figure, leaning against an old and knotted old tree, part of the black clothes on his body had been stuck to his body by sweat, and a low panting sound faintly came from his mouth.

"Huh~~~" I only heard a gust of wind blowing, blowing the black figure in the night, the figure leaning against the tree suddenly trembled, the original muddy mind suddenly sobered up, Feng Zimo sighed softly, shook his head, and secretly exclaimed: This place is really a little weird, it's been an hour, why can't you get in alive or dead? Moreover, after a long time, my head will be slightly dizzy, with my body that has practiced martial arts since I was a child, I will also be delirious, huh~~~If it weren't for the gust of wind that came just now, I'm afraid I would have fainted on the ground by now!

Thinking like this, Feng Zimo was not in a hurry to find his way in the forest at this time, but leaned against the ancient tree and sat on the ground slowly, ready to breathe the qi veins in his body, who knew that when Feng Zimo just took a breath, his face was stunned, and then he suddenly realized: No, there is something wrong with the air here!

It turned out that when Feng Zimo inhaled the air, he noticed that there was still a trace of aroma hidden in the original fresh breath, and people who practiced martial arts already had six senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste, Perception) is sensitive to ordinary people, coupled with Feng Zimo's bones since he was a child, he is considered a martial arts wizard among the four sons in the general's mansion, and he is smart and studious, so he is often appreciated by Feng Chenghu, and it is also for this reason that he will attract the jealousy of the eldest prince and others, but at this time, Feng Zimo didn't expect so much, I saw him smelling the aroma in the air carefully, and at the same time looking down for something.

It's just that after a while, he still didn't seem to find anything, and Feng Zimo couldn't help muttering in his heart: Smelling this aroma, it seems to be a kind of vanilla that can charm people's minds, but there are many herbs that can charm people's minds, what kind of variety will it be?

Just as Feng Zimo looked down, there was a sound of sparse footsteps on the path not far away, and he was walking towards Feng Zimo, Feng Zimo was startled, and hurriedly shrank behind the ancient tree, which had a thick trunk, and actually hid Feng Zimo's figure tightly.

Feng Zimo hid behind the tree, peeked outside, and saw a group of people, dressed in cyan clothes, but the neckline was white, with the arrangement of the Big Dipper faintly painted on the chest, still carrying a lantern in his hand, walking on the path where Feng Zimo had just come. The person at the head has a huge physique, quite the temperament of a big man in the north, but at this time, under the light of the lantern, this big man is with a black face, as if he has been humiliated, and walks forward without saying a word.

Just as a group of people walked in front of the ancient wood where Feng Zimo was hiding, a thin and pockmarked man who followed behind the black-faced man showed a flattering smile and said to the tall figure in front:

"Big brother, you are heroic, if you don't compete with those black-collared wooden people, aren't they a few levels higher than us?

Smack-

I heard a loud voice suddenly come out of Mazi's face, and then I heard a burly and powerful voice roaring:

"Get out! You're a fucking pig, you bastard, you dare to scold me?!"

"No・・・・・・ no, big brother, I, I, I'm not, no, this, this ・・・・・・"

Mazi froze in place with a lantern in her face, at a loss.

After a while, the black-faced man in front saw that the people behind him didn't follow, and scolded again:

"His grandmother's, do you still want a leg?"

"Oh," Mazi came back to his senses, and just took a few steps, then stopped his steps, bowed his head timidly, and said:

"Big brother, I think, I want to swear, swear, pee!"

Suddenly, a suppressed laughter came from the crowd behind, and the black-faced man frowned and said impatiently:

"Get out, come back to me as soon as you're done!"

After a pause, he said:

"The people in the back come with me first! Grandma's, it's fucking hard!"

A burst of footsteps accompanied by whispers and a few sporadic ridicules, passing past the pockmarked face little by little, pockmarked face stood dumbfounded, until the crowd in front of him walked some distance, then slowly came back to his senses, sighed, and then regained his spirit, looking around and began to look for a good place to relieve his hands.

"Hey, this tree is good, let me feed you well. ”

As he spoke, he walked calmly to the ancient tree where Feng Zimo was hiding, not at all like the poor man who had just been ridiculed.

Feng Zimo scolded secretly, and then turned his face, I really didn't want to see this pockmarked face again!

How do you know that after waiting for a long time, I still can't hear any movement, Feng Zimo was shocked in his heart: Could it be that this kid has already discovered me and is deliberately playing tricks with me! I was about to look back at the situation, but I heard a complaint coming from behind:

"Oh, I'll go to your grandma's, why can't this belt be untied!"

Feng Zimo was secretly funny when he heard this, and he couldn't help it, so he wanted to secretly take a look at this person's embarrassed appearance from behind with the mentality of watching a play, but he didn't know that with a casual glance from the corner of his eye, his figure suddenly stopped.

I saw that about three feet away from Feng Zimo, a small lilac flower was quietly blooming in the grass, Feng Zimo took a closer look, and saw that the stem of this small flower was hovering with seven dark green leaves, and what was even more peculiar was that there was a trace of purple meridians all over the leaves in this dark green, revealing the strange and mysterious aura of the purple meridians in the green ocean.

Seven-leaf purple gold!

Legend has it that the seven-leaf purple gold flower is the witchcraft flower used in ancient times to confuse people, its lilac flowers can exude a slight floral fragrance, if ordinary people smell for a long time, it can cause a short period of coma, if the leaves are swallowed, it can confuse the mind in a short time, and then the person will fall into a slumber of seven days and seven nights, and the only antidote during this period is the golden fruit in its buds, because its color is as dazzling as gold, so ordinary people call it "golden fruit". However, the fruit of a flower can only bear a golden antidote after this lilac flower blooms for seven years, so people are extremely disgusted with this flower, but it is also because of the high environmental requirements of this flower, so that the seven-leaf purple gold flower has not multiplied on a large scale.

Seeing the seven-leaf purple gold flower in this situation, Feng Zimo was really taken aback. When I was trying to take a good look at this flower, I didn't expect that there was a dead branch at the bottom of the foot.

It seems so crisp in the dark night.

When the pockmarked face who untied his belt halfway in front of the ancient tree heard it, he was taken aback, and he couldn't care about his belt, so he shouted loudly, jumped from the front of the tree to the back of the tree, and drank:

"Who's that?"

Who knew that just after shouting this heroic word, suddenly, the pockmarked face only felt a black shadow in front of him, and then his jaw was numb, only to feel a cool thing down his throat to his stomach, just wanted to turn his head to see which thief dared to tease Uncle Ben, then what to think, just turned halfway, I felt an emptiness in my brain, my body fluttered, there seemed to be a fog in front of me, I was trying to raise my hand to drive away the fog, but I found that my hands were weak and weak, I wanted to lift my feet, and found that my feet did not obey the call, after a burst of tinnitus in my ears, I could no longer hear other sounds, only heard a voice, which seemed to come from a distant void, slow and gloomy:

Tell me, how to get out of this forest, how to get to the tower?

Tell me・・・・・・ tell me・・・・・・
