Chapter 76: The Flower of the Underworld
Shen laughed at himself: "Of course I remember, where do I dare to forget!" This kind of thing happens once in a hundred years! ”
Li Wanyan was also thoughtful, her eyebrows frowned slightly, "That time, we seemed to have gone astray unconsciously, and finally strayed into the primeval dense forest, and almost couldn't get out." Could it be that that time was also a poisonous ghost? ”
In fact, she thought it was strange at the time, she obviously followed the route marked on the map, but she took the wrong path. Ning didn't bother to mention it, and she suddenly had an epiphany.
Shen Wufu was still confused, he turned to Ning Heku, and wondered, "What did the poisonous evil do?" ”
Ning He said bitterly: "He should be moving his hands and feet in the birch forest." It is to cut down some birch trees in advance and deliberately create an open field, similar to a passage in the forest. As you all know, people instinctively and subconsciously move naturally along the wider open space. In this way, we will unconsciously embark on the path that others have arranged long ago and want to guide us forward, and in the end we will go astray, and some will fall into the deep pit, and some will strayed into the dense forest, and the final result will be nine deaths, and it will be difficult to survive. ”
Everyone was chewing on the meaning of his words, and after thinking about it, Li Wanyan gritted her jade teeth and said softly: "I understand." I think that a few years ago, when the Orion took the official to look for the Golden Silk Nanmu Forest, he was like this, and was unconsciously misled and led astray, not only fell into the sinkhole, although he was lucky to be rescued by his companions, but in the end, he was like us, and strayed into the primeval forest. ”
Ning He bowed his head slightly, and just as he was about to speak, Shen Wuwu jumped up, his brows twisted like a silkworm, and said fiercely: "Then how did we go astray just now?" ”
Ning He thought about it slightly, and the Lingtai was clear, "Yes, Lao Wu, do you remember the half-eaten wild fruit I pulled out of the grass?" ”
"Remember, don't talk nonsense, you just say the answer." Shen Wuxian was impatient, he was not interested in the process, he just wanted to know the answer directly.
But often, it's the process that counts.
Ning He bitter: "It was deliberately left by the poisonous evil." Along the way, he has been cautious and has not left any traces, why did he leave a half-eaten wild fruit? ”
Everyone: "...... Makes sense! ”
Ning He sighed bitterly and continued in frustration, "Then, we followed the path of the wild fruit to the edge of the cliff. Before that, there was no shelter on the edge of the cliff. It should be that the poisonous demon deliberately planted some branches on the edge of the cliff, and then spread dead branches and leaves on them. In addition, there is perennial fog in this mountain, and the view is blocked, which can easily create the illusion that it is a path. ”
He sighed as he spoke, for he had pulled the wild fruit out with his own hands. It is equivalent to him who leads everyone on the wrong path.
Shen Wuwu jumped up directly from the ground, his eyes were red, and he said hatefully: "This vicious thing is really cunning and vicious, and he will do everything. I'm sorry to eat him right away. I'm! ”
Although everyone was not as angry as him, when they thought of the cliff that was only a few steps away, they couldn't help but be angry, and they were all angry.
After Shen scolded and scolded senselessly, he was still angry, and began to bite indiscriminately, he pointed at Ning He and made trouble unreasonably, "Look at what I'm talking about, what are you okay with, pull something disgusting, you know no!" You've got to get rid of your pickpocketing problem. It must be changed. ”
Shen Wuwu is angry, that is, if he says it casually, he won't really blame Ning He, anyway, the two of them are usually used to joking.
But Li Wanyan is more serious. She suddenly got up and straightened the hem of her skirt, and corrected the former's accusation, "Don't blame Ning Gongzi, he is not the initiator." Before, you kept babbling, saying that there were no traces of poison along the way, and you were not at ease, and then forced him to find a clue to come out. It's only been two hours since this happened, so the doctor can't be so forgetful, right? ”
Among this group of people, if you talk about sharp teeth, poisonous mouths and poisonous tongues, puns on words, and words in words, Li Wanyan claims to be second, and no one dares to call it first.
Naturally, she choked on a word, and Shen was speechless, only staring and panting.
Ning Heku secretly glanced at Li Wanyan, who was seeking justice for herself without suspicion, and saw her standing in the wind, with a slender posture, fluttering clothes, as bright as a peach and plum, and there seemed to be a string in her heart that had been pulled out for no reason......
He hurriedly looked up at Ruoxue's figure to hide the panicked heartbeat. After seeing Ruoxue, he got up and pulled Shen Wuwu and walked back, smiling and playing a round, "Let's go, hurry up." ”
Wen Li also hurriedly got up and played the round with the smiling face. "Brother Ning is reasonable, in short, there is no danger, it is worth celebrating, hurry, hurry."
Shen Wuxian was disgusted by the poison first, and then was accused by Li Wanyan, and his mood was extremely bad, so he shook off Ning Heku's hand, and he was worried while being depressed, "This poisonous evil is so treacherous, it can always calculate people's hearts accurately, let's let the tiger return to the mountain this time, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse?" ”
Ning He approached him to comfort: "Old Wu, what have you done with your gains and losses, have you forgotten who I am?" For the sake of that bounty, in order to be able to become a rich idler as soon as possible, can I let him slip away? Really, have faith in me, and it is true for yourself!
Also, you see, no matter what tricks he plays, aren't we all good? Jiren has his own heavenly appearance, and the wise also have heavenly help. You see that you were born with an auspicious face, and I am intellectually responsible, the two of us are two swords together, why worry about big things? ”
Shen was senselessly amused by Ning Heku's poor mouth and poor tongue.
He suddenly remembered that he had been so depressed in the ten years when he had chased the murderer alone. What about the indelible heroic dry clouds before, the ambition to chase to the end?
As soon as he thought of this, he immediately put aside the gains and losses, grabbed Ning Heku's shoulder, and said sonorously, "Okay, then the two of us will be perfectly united, share the same enemy, and never be discouraged, and we will definitely be able to capture the five evils of the devil, bring them to justice, and accept them with my sword." ”
"Whew!" Li Wanyan couldn't help but chuckle, her cherry lips pursed slightly, her eyebrows and eyes were half curved, "It's a perfect match, this adjective is really well used!" ”
Shen glanced at her uselessly, at this time, he was ambitious and full of pride, so he was naturally too lazy to worry about the same little girl, he only pulled Ning He to go forward.
If the snow flies in the air, the group follows the direction it leads, and returns to the forest to find another way.
At the same time, next to the mountain stream of Fengwei Peak.
The green pines, green bamboos, and Yang Huai were gathering in one place, discussing in a low voice, and behind them, there were also four retinues in strong suits.
Qingsong looked at Qingzhu, "Big brother, we've been looking for two days on both sides of the mountain stream, but we haven't even seen the shadow of that, do you think there won't be one at all?" ”
"The girl said that it was possible, and told us to look for it carefully, otherwise, how could he tell me to go back to Feisha Village, and bring a few of you to look for it." Listen to the girl, yes. "Qingzhu is still as old as ever.
"What if you can't find it?" Qing Song asked again.
"In two days, if we can't find it again, let's go find the girl."
Qingsong replied briskly: "Okay, listen to the eldest brother, what the eldest brother said is accurate." ”
Yang Huai on one side didn't say a word.
Two days later.
Qingzhu, who found nothing, led everyone to the mountain, and went to chase the master, Qingsong followed, and asked uneasily: "Big brother, girls, they have been walking for several days, can we catch up?" ”
Qingsong has been asking, and Qingzhu always takes the trouble to answer in detail:
"Naturally, the girl has left us marks along the way, and according to our footsteps, it will not be a problem to catch up with them. However, the girl told us not to get too close, and if there was any change in the middle, she would leave a message at any time for us to act on the occasion. ”
"But the mountain is so vast, what if you can't find the mark left by the girl?" Qingsong will always question and ask more.
I don't blame him, the feeling when he was trapped in the primeval jungle before was not pleasant. And the memory is still fresh, so it is natural to take precautions.
"The girl is such a wise person, and the mark she left must be hidden and obvious, and it must be found. Don't worry, it's right to listen to the girl. ”
"Okay, listen to the eldest brother, what the eldest brother said is accurate." The green pine is refreshing.
Belch!
Brother Qingzhu's mantra is always "listen to the girl, yes".
And Brother Qingsong will always end happily with the same mantra "Listen to the eldest brother, yes" after questioning one more sentence.
These two people are really, there is an indescribable greasy and crooked energy.
No wonder Yang Huai has always stayed away from the two of them, slowly following behind the two of them, without saying a word, with a face full of disgust.
The group is moving forward.
As the green bamboo walked in front of him, he would always find a small bow and arrow on a stone on the ground, a tree pole on the side of the road, or a wide plantain leaf.
It was drawn by Li Wanyan with an eyebrow pencil, and the direction pointed by the arrow was naturally the direction in which she was moving forward.
Following her guidance, Qingzhu and his party came to the bottom of a hillside smoothly.
On a stone on the side of the road, Qingzhu also saw a small bow and arrow. But under the arrow, there is an extra word "flower".
He immediately perked up and followed the direction of the arrow to find the mimosa spring on the hillside.
But instead of stopping at the mimosa spring, he went straight around the spring and came to a mountain stream behind the trees.
This is also the place where the mountain stream salamander was found.
Could it be that Qingzhu is here to catch mountain stream salamanders?
However, they did not look in the stream, but carried out a carpet search on the banks on both sides of the stream, in the cracks in the stones, among the weeds and wild flowers, and among the dead leaves under the trees.
A small mountain stream, unlike a mountain stream, is not very long from beginning to end, and it is not difficult to find the source.
Three hours later, Yi Suicong let out an earth-shattering exclamation: "Found it, come here, boss." ”
The three of Qingzhu followed the sound, all staring closely at the things under his feet, holding their breath and concentrating, as if they were overly surprised, in disbelief, and forgot to speak.
Standing under a ginkgo tree not far from the mountain stream, two or three white plants grew among the dead leaves at his feet.
I saw that its stem is less than half a foot long, slightly thicker than the thumb, no flowers, no leaves, no fragrance, only one stem from head to tail, the top shape is like a small trumpet flower that has not yet opened, slightly drooping, the whole body is immature, white as jade, and exudes a crystal clear and attractive luster in the shade of the tree.
Such a small and immature plant, if one is not careful, as if accidentally touching it with a finger, it will fold in response.
If you accidentally destroy it under your feet, it will immediately shatter like powder, disappear with the wind, and it is difficult to find it.
Qingsong excitedly grabbed the corner of Qingzhu's clothes, and his voice trembled slightly, "Big brother, this and this, is this the legendary flower of the underworld?" ”
