After looking at the entire "Earth City", the woman named Ci'an turned to look at Lu Fengbai, who had been silent behind her.

She opened her mouth and said, "Let's talk about it, what is the so-called thing if you don't avoid suspicion?" ”

Lu Feng said in vain: "Miss Ci'an can also talk about the purpose of coming this time..."

As soon as these words came out, the woman's hands around the bamboo basket trembled slightly, and she looked away with some embarrassment.

gave people a reaction, as if she had just reacted, and she "took the initiative" to find the door.

When she looked back, she found that Lu Fengbai was still looking at her with a pleasant expression.

Ci An said helplessly: "In addition to collecting medicine, it's just a whim, today's move... Think you're here to patrol the mountains? ”

Lu Fengbai said with a smile: "That ancestral girl has already seen it all now, it is better to collect medicine earlier and go out of the mountain earlier..."

Seeing that Lu Fengbai was about to send off the guests, Ancestral An immediately handed the bamboo basket forward and placed a whole basket of herbs in front of the white-robed man.

This bamboo basket is located in the middle, and the largest number is the "Yanchi".

"Since you recognized it before, why don't you wonder if I'm okay after eating?" Ci'an asked.

Lu Feng said in vain: "I have a certain number in my heart, and I will explore it in the future..."

Ci'an had to be defeated and say his true intentions.

"You naturally know about entering the mountain, I heard my mother-in-law say a few days ago that a lot of people have died on the other side of the mountain, but you can't let the people over there hide here..."

Lu Fengbai responded: "The battle on the Langcang River is over, there are mountains and rivers here to do natural danger, and the possibility of thieves coming is not great!" ”

Ancestral An no longer looked at the white robe in front of him, but looked further behind it.

She raised her eyes and swept around, and said loudly: "Although the demeanor, clothing, and blades of you people are different from those on the other side of the mountain, they must not be good, right?" ”

Lu Feng said in vain: "We can identify ourselves by ourselves, and as for the distinction between good and evil, we can decide by the Miss Ancestral Temple!" ”

With the words of the white-robed man, the disciples of Yijian Villa behind him all clenched their fists in their chests, or clubbed their blades to the ground.

Ci An nodded slightly, and Lu Fengbai explained the origin and purpose of this trip.

Listening to the introduction of the white-robed man, Ci An hugged the bamboo basket in her hand back and forth several times, until when she finished speaking, she had blocked the bamboo basket in front of her.

Looking at the woman's expression, Lu Fengbai thought that when Xu was in southern Xinjiang before, the stories that circulated had a certain impact.

As a result, the first sentence of Ci'an opened his mouth, and he actually shouted at Lu Fengbai.

"You also said that you are not a thief who does evil things!"

Jiang Qing covered his mouth and couldn't help laughing, and it took a long time before he spoke.

"It seems that it backfired, Feng Bai is going to be deflated this time!"

Lu Fengbai's face was a little embarrassed, and when he heard that there was someone behind him who was demolishing the stage for him, he hurriedly looked back, and didn't forget to squeeze his eyebrows and remind him.

Ci An spoke again: "I've heard of your reputation before, isn't it also fighting and killing all day long, am I not right?" ”

Lu Fengbai nodded helplessly, and Ci An immediately added another sentence.

"According to what you just said, you're just here for a while, right?"

The white-robed man nodded and said, "If you find the news in the future, you will leave, and you will not disturb the villagers here." ”

Ancestral An said: "Then I'll finish asking and go!" ”

Lu Fengbai took a step to the right, making way for the mountain path he had traveled on.

The disciple of Yijian Villa behind him, like his movements, soon had a mountain path out of the "Earth City".

Shrine An took a step forward, and then began to walk out.

Until her back was about to disappear on the mountain road, there was a sound behind the bamboo basket.

"If you really want to ask about the herbs, you can collect the blades now and take fewer people across the river to talk about it!"

Lu Cishan glanced at Lu Fengbai, who waved his hand to show that he was fine, and then took off the paint night and day and handed it to him.

"Qing Ze can go with me, and you can stay here."

Lu Cishan looked at the back of the drifting away on the mountain road, just nodded without any words.

Lu Fengbai shouted: "If something happens after that, it's all arranged by good words!" Be sure to wait until the two of us return. ”

Everyone in Yijian Villa nodded one after another, and shouted at the same time, order!

It doesn't have the momentum of knocking on the mountains and towns, but it can give people a neat and uniform seriousness.

Ancestral Temple, who had already walked a long way, was so frightened that he suddenly walked lightly and almost fell to the ground.

After the explanation, Lu Fengbai followed the woman's back with Jiang Qingze, and walked down the mountain road on foot.

Soon, all three of them reached the bank of the river.

The river here is called Michuan Pond, which is a branch of the upper reaches of the Langcang River.

Compared with the main vein, the flow of water is relatively stable, so it is mostly commensurate with pools and lakes.

Ancestral Temple said: "The three of us can cross the river on a bamboo raft in front, if there are more people, you can only swim over by yourself!" ”

Lu Fengbai nodded and responded: "Miss Ci'an reminds me first, and I will definitely treat it with caution." ”

Jiang Qing stepped forward quickly, tapped the ground with his toes, and with one step, the whole person was already standing on the bamboo raft.

Ci An praised loudly: "This sister is so smart! Just like the butterflies in the woods! ”

Jiang Qing said with a smile: "So good at boasting, can you guess my sister's identity?" ”

"Of course, it's our most watery Miao Zhai sister!"

As he spoke, Ci An also stepped forward, and after a while, he walked to Jiang Qingze's side.

Lu Fengbai was also interested, and he finally boarded the bamboo raft and acted as a boatman.

Under the order of the ancestral hall, Lu Fengbai propped up the penny and rowed towards the opposite bank.

The banks of the river were not very wide, and after a while, the three of them stopped their boats and docked, and after they got off the bamboo raft in turn, they began to walk towards the valley in front of them.

Some time ago, Lu Fengbai noticed the valley on the other side of the riverbank, but he didn't plan to cross the river, so he didn't delve into it.

At this moment, the white-robed man who slowly walked into the valley couldn't help but be a little surprised...

If you say that when you were in Gyeonggi before, the Taoyuan Slope that you sneaked into is a hidden place where you have suffered from disasters.

Then in the valley that we can see today, there is a pure place that is well preserved.

Ancestral An reminded him: "The mothers-in-law who live in the valley have not seen many people, so don't say much when you see them!" ”

Lu Feng replied with white dots: "Understood! ”

And Jiang Qingze's demeanor was extremely leisurely, just raising his hand and tapping it a few times, which soon attracted Bi Die to fly to his side.

Ci An looked a little surprised, and said: "I just heard my mother-in-law say that she was young and could attract bees and butterflies at will, but today I really saw real people and real things..."

Just as Jiang Qingze was about to speak, the three of them heard the sound of a bamboo cane hitting the ground at the position of the stream in front of them.

Knock knock! Boom!

"Six-six... How can you bring... The living are here," said the old woman with the pestle.

Ci An trotted forward and explained in a whisper in the old woman's ear.

"Granny Xia, listen to me..."

Seeing what happened to him today, as well as Lu Fengbai's words, he told the old woman beside him.

From time to time, he pointed at Lu Fengbai, and then pointed at Jiang Qingze.

The old woman, who was still a little angry at first, looked kinder after listening to Ci'an's explanation.

"Then bring... Let's go..."

After Granny Xia finished speaking, her eyes stayed on Jiang Qingze for a moment, and finally left alone along the stream with a cane.

Ci An was a little puzzled, and muttered in a low voice: "I thought that after Granny Xia met Sister Jiang, she would be happier..."

Jiang Qing said: "That Granny Xia, there are still some differences between her and me..."

Listening to Sister Jiang's explanation, I finally heard a rough idea of the "black and white" of Miao Village.

After suddenly realizing it, Ci'an was also relieved.

She said, "Then come with me, and when you get to the residence, you will surely have an answer." ”

As the valley continued to go deeper, Lu Fengbai saw many houses, as well as some old women who were already old.

They were also looking at the two strangers walking into the valley, some of them clenched the farm tools in their hands, some returned to the house and raised their sticks, and some of them stared at Lu Fengbai and Jiang Qingze in a stunned manner.

Seeing this scene, Ci An immediately jumped up and down in front of the two of them, and she wanted to use this to dispel the doubts of these mothers-in-law.

With her efforts, it can be regarded as making the mothers-in-law stop looking at them.

Ci An cried and said, "After that, there must be a scolding from Granny Xia..."

Lu Fengbai said: "Today's disturbance has made Miss Ci'an tired. ”

After saying this, the white-robed man was tragically blinded by the ancestral temple.

"It's time to see for yourselves!" Ancestral Shrine spoke and pointed in one direction at the same time.

Lu Fengbai and Jiang Qing looked for the sound and found that it was actually a spring?

Ci An continued: "For as long as I can remember, my mothers-in-law have told me that this place is called Bidie Spring, and we all rely on that spring for a living on weekdays. ”

Lu Fengbai gave an inquiring look, and Ci An nodded.

The white-robed man walked forward quickly, and after half-squatting, he picked up a pool of clear spring in both hands and raised it to drink it in his mouth.

The entrance to the spring is no different from ordinary spring water at first.

But as the spring water flowed through his throat, chest and abdomen, Lu Fengbai clearly felt a coldness.

He continued to feel it, and his hands sank into the water again, this time toward the spring closer.

Another handful of clear spring entrances, this time the feeling was more obvious, from cold to cold.

Lu Fengbai stood up and looked at the ancestral temple.

"None of these mothers-in-law who live in the valley have ever drunk the spring water directly, right?"

Ci'an nodded and said loudly: "Well, only when I was a child, I was naughty and would come here..."

When Lu Fengbai drank the spring water before, he didn't take any precautions at first, but as the chill in his body intensified, he began to follow the Huangli method to suppress the erosion of the cold air.

If it is just ordinary people drinking the spring here, I am afraid that they can't help the cold in this spring.

That's the spring water here, which can be used to suppress the flames?

Jiang Qing said slowly: "I remember, there was a bottomless pool mentioned in Miao Village, could it be..."

A voice sounded behind the three of them, it was the Granny Xia who she had seen when she had just entered the valley earlier.

"It's here... Legend has it that since Xia Wen turned into a butterfly, there has been a cold marrow here..."

Cold marrow?

Ci An quickly ran to Granny Xia's side, she habitually lowered her head and let the old woman pat her on the forehead.

"Granny Xia will fight this time, and you are not allowed to quarrel with Liuliu in the future!"

"Got it... Got it..."

Lu Fengbai bowed to the old lady and said, "The doubts in my heart have been solved, and I hereby ask my mother-in-law for a time to leave the valley." ”

Since there is such a mystery in the valley.

For Lu Fengbai, the matter of leaving the valley is out of his control.

The old woman said: "When you come and when you leave, it has nothing to do with us... But there is something to ask for, if you can agree, my wife, I still have some things to say..."

Lu Fengbai responded: "I want to hear it in detail!" ”

Jiang Qing opened his mouth and said, "I'll go shopping elsewhere, Sister Ci'an will take me for a walk?" ”

The old woman gave Ci An a look, and the latter immediately walked towards Jiang Qingze with a smile.

After the two women of the same age walked away holding each other's arms, only Lu Fengbai and this Granny Xia were left near the spring.

Lu Fengbai respectfully waited for the old woman to speak, and Granny Xia didn't put on a score, and with the light of her bamboo cane, she began to talk about some old things.

About half a hundred years ago, this was a small village, and there was a thriving scene for a while.

However, as the war gradually broke out in various places, the disaster of the soldiers also spread, and the men in the villages, both young and old, were confiscated to defend themselves against the enemy.

Until the defeat of all the fronts in southern Xinjiang, there was no male in this village.

There have also been soldiers and bandits who crossed the river and broke into this place, burning, killing and looting, and doing all kinds of evil!

What's more, he wanted to take the scenery here for himself, but it didn't take long for the cold air in the valley to rise sharply, forcing all those evil ruffians to retreat.

However, the remaining villagers in the valley were not spared.

Although he survived, he had to endure the pain of cold and bone erosion in every rainy season.

Twenty years ago, a man passing by brought them the blades of grass called "Flame Pond".

First he taught them how to take it, and then he told them that it grew in the mountains on the other side of the river, so that the people in the village could withstand the cold in the valley.

As for the origin of the ancestral temple, it is the orphan they found in the Ten Thousand Mountains a few years ago, not from the village.

Speaking of this, the old woman was already a little panting.

Lu Fengbai said softly: "I've already heard a rough idea below, and my mother-in-law can just say the appeal!" ”

Granny Xia ventilated several times, and then looked at the white-robed man in front of her.

"It's not that the old woman is superstitious about ghosts... It's just the first time I saw Childe... It's still called that out there, right? I think... The spiritual qi between Childe's eyebrows... Somewhat like the one who preaches the method of keeping the cold away..."

Lu Fengbai shook his head and said: "The predecessors are kind-hearted, and their faces are naturally vigorous, and the younger generations are just born and raised in comfort, and they cannot be compared with their predecessors." ”

The old woman raised her hand and knocked the bamboo cane on the ground a few more times, as if to tell Lu Fengbai to shut up quickly.

The latter had no choice but to be respectful and continued to wait for Granny Xia's words to speak.

"All these years, it was the girl who picked medicine for those of us who were about to enter the earth... It's not as cold here as it used to be, and it won't be long before it doesn't suffer as much as it did in the early years, and she shouldn't stay here for the rest of her life..."

Lu Feng said in vain: "What does my mother-in-law mean, let's take Miss Xi'an out?" ”

Granny Xia nodded and said, "Hmm... What does Childe think? ”

Lu Fengbai responded: "If Miss Ci'an agrees, I will naturally be willing to take her out of southern Xinjiang and go to a broader world." ”

The old lady squinted at a house and asked, "That son agreed?" ”

Lu Fengbai arched his hand and said: "Mother-in-law's request, Lu took it!" ”
