Chapter 18 The clouds are cleared without seeing the wind and the moon
Su Qin, who had stayed in the Heavenly Forbidden for three days, did not feel how much the lonely and cold mountain top was like a year, on the contrary, between him reading the "Book of Oblivion" during the day and listening to the old man tell the legends and stories of this world at night, time passed quickly unconsciously, and by the time he left the top of the mountain to say goodbye to the old man, it was already the evening of the third day when he entered the Heavenly Forbidden.
Under the guidance of the old man, Su Qin quickly found a few snow lotus flowers - snow lotus flowers mostly grow in the crevices of the cliffs and rocks, and there is also a record in the "Book of Forgetting" for this, saying that the snow lotus roots and stems can be used in medicine, which is a rare treasure in the mountains, and the "Book of Forgetting" also notes at the end that the Qima Peak, the highest in the Adis vein, is full of snow lotus.
Su Qin asked the old man if it was true or false, the old man said that he hadn't been there and didn't know, Su Qin also smiled, although he grew up in the mountains, he occasionally felt poor breathing in the Heavenly Forbidden, not to mention the Zhuma Peak, which was twice as high as the Heavenly Forbidden, and the old man didn't know how these ancients knew about this, I'm afraid it was mostly fiction, after all, such a high mountain, even if there was no snow lotus, no one would climb up to see the lies on the "Book of Oblivion".
Looking at the old man standing on the top of the snow, Su Qin bent down and bowed and then began to descend the mountain, the two got along for a few days, very harmoniously, making Su Qin feel that the old man was actually a lonely old man, and when he left, the old man reminded Su Qin not to tell others that he was forbidden in heaven.
After all, at the beginning, the old man asked how the wizard's body was, and Su Qin thought that the old man should at least know the wizard, so maybe the wizard would know that the old man was on the mountain.
Hearing Su Qin's question, the old man pondered for a moment, raised his head and said that he would not ask, just don't mention my business.
Why can't you mention it? Despite the doubts in his heart, Su Qin nodded and agreed to the old man.
The things recorded in the "Book of Forgetting", Su Qin has read more than half of them in the past three days, many of them are about the distribution of this world and some secrets, just like the Lousha Dynasty, Su Qin still heard the wizard talk about it once, Su Qin originally thought that Lousha was also an alliance country living on the plains, where did he know that he actually lived in the desert, what the desert was, Su Qin didn't know, there were quicksand, tsunamis, and other things, in addition, the Book of Forgetting The origin of the tribes in the mountains is recorded very clearly, and when he saw a dwarf mentioned in it, he asked the old man if it really existed, and the old man smiled and said that the dwarves were not short, and there were also tall people, but they were relatively lower than ordinary people, and the current dwarves still existed, but they all moved out of the mountains and lived in the cities in the plains, because the weapons made by the dwarves were very popular with the alliance countries.
In the end, the old man also said to Su Qin that there are actually two volumes of the "Book of Forgetting", and the volume in my hand is not very important, and the things recorded in the next volume are more shocking, such as the Tianzhu Sword Exquisite Mirror, and the next volume is recorded.
And Su Qin didn't think much about it, it was already an unexpected joy to see the "Book of Forgetting" that many people had not seen, if he was too greedy, he would fall behind, this was what the fifth princess said to him, thinking of Mu Hate Jade, Su Qin accelerated the pace of going down the mountain.
What Su Qin didn't know was that when his figure disappeared from the top of the mountain, the old man who returned to the cave suddenly laughed, and after laughing, he lowered his head and thought about his thoughts for a while, and then came to the stone bed, and slapped three times on a protruding rock on the stone bed, I don't know where the mechanism was touched, the corner of the stone bed suddenly sank, revealing a black hole, the old man bent down, took out a brocade robe made of silk from it and wore it on his body, and then touched his face, the flesh on his face actually fell off, revealing the face of a middle-aged man, with a scar on the corner of his eyebrows, and the wolf king who was crawling on the ground on the side seemed to be accustomed to this situation, and raised his head and whimpered, The old man came to the wolf king's side and patted the wolf king's head, and said go, the wolf king got up and roared and ran towards the entrance of the cave.
Watching the wolf king leave, the old man packed everything in the house, then extinguished the fire in the cave, came to the top of the mountain as light as a swallow, looked at the direction where Su Qin left just now, turned around and went down the mountain from another place.
"It's a good trick to change the tanuki for the prince, but I'm afraid the eldest brother will never think of it...... Haha, in this world, I am determined to win. The old man, who had endured in the world for eighteen years, suddenly burst out laughing at this time, but his voice was quickly blown away by the mountain wind.
Eighteen years.
The moon and stars are scarce in the sky, and time is changing.
People's hearts will change, the Tao is not the same, too many things have happened in the past eighteen years, good and bad, happy and desperate, people can have a few eighteen years in this life to start over.
It's just that in the end, it will be scattered with the wind.

Su Qin originally thought that he would go down the mountain soon, but he didn't expect an accident to occur halfway.
When he walked halfway up the mountain, he slowed down the speed of his footing, relying on his sense of smell to distinguish the smell of beasts in the air, and unexpectedly saw a hidden small cave in a hill full of thorns.
Seeing the white tiger, Su Qin instantly understood something, seeing the Wangtian tree beside him, Su Qin immediately climbed up, and as soon as he stood firm on the tree, Su Qin saw the tiger come out of the cave again, and returned to the cave with some branches and hay in his mouth around the entrance of the cave, and secretly said a dangerous sentence Su Qin wiped the fine sweat on his forehead with his hand, looked at the tiger, the tiger held the grass, and knew from his life experience in the mountains that this was the time when the tiger was ready to give birth, and this was just a tiger should be the legendary snow tiger.
The snow tiger in the mountains is relatively rare, I used to hear the old people in the tribe talk about it, saying that the snow tiger is not like other tigers with brown stripes on a gold background, and the body size is also larger than the average tiger, the fur is extremely thick, and the ferocity is incomparable, an adult snow tiger can rival three ordinary tigers, I didn't expect to see the legendary tiger among the best, Su Qin couldn't help but feel more curious, and he didn't think about leaving, but by the time he wanted to leave, it was too late.
A pale brown male lion appeared at the mouth of the snow tiger's cave with a long mane that extended to the shoulders and chest.
The male lion who came to the mouth of the Snow Tiger Cave did not leave, but threw a small sika deer in his mouth into the hole, and then crawled down at the mouth of the cave, looking at the wind and grass around him with a pair of eyes.
Seeing this phenomenon, Su Qin, who was staying in the tree, almost screamed!
Su Qin, who had just read the "Book of Oblivion", remembered clearly that thousands of years ago, in order to domesticate ferocious beasts, the tribesmen at that time used to combine tigers, lions, leopards, and wolves that had been kept in captivity to estrus with * in pairs to mate, in order to obtain the beasts after the mutation, because the mutated beasts were more ferocious and mighty! The liger is larger than both parents, and the male tiger and the female lion are mated and born into the name "tiger lion", which is smaller than both parents.
After all, it was too unbelievable, at that time, Su Qin only took a few looks at the story, he heard the wizard in the tribe say that the Yue Luo tribe also likes to put different kinds of beasts together for so many years, but it has not succeeded so far, I didn't expect to really meet the legendary male lion guarding the nest female tiger waiting to give birth.
What this means is self-evident!
And the danger also lurks in the opportunity.
