When it was time for dinner, the woman warmed milk tofu for her, and the thin rice porridge was served in an earthen bowl, and when Qiong Yi was thanking her, the woman's children were already rushing to eat.

The milk tofu was delicious and unexpectedly delicious, and when she saw that she liked it, the woman added more to her. Joan was also a little flattered, and said in her heart: Rong people, not as ferocious as the previous coachman said, are much more enthusiastic and kind than imagined.

At night, the wind howled outside the house, the woman left Qiong Yi's empty space on the earthen kang, she hugged her two children, and sang softly, Qiong Yi lay on the outermost edge, listening to this song mixed with wind and grass, inexplicably felt solid from the bottom of her heart.

Before I was abandoned, would I be held by my father and mother like this, singing songs?

Joan also turned her back, half-curled up, and hugged her arms tightly.

The next day, before dawn, Joan also woke up early, and when she saw that the woman and the children were sleeping soundly, she left a little silver tael on the table and quietly left.

After a night of snow, the sky was cloudless. As the sun was getting higher, Qiong Yi had already come to the next village, she talked to the local villagers, asked the specific location of the ancient horse rock that was not marked on the map, asked several people, but no one suspected that she was from Middle-earth, almost making Qiong Yi mistakenly think that she had learned the Western Desert dialect to the point of perfection, or that she looked like a Rong person?

Pinching the braid on her shoulder, Joan thought silently.

A group of vendors asked said that they knew where Gu Ma Yan was, and that they were willing to let Joan go with them.

So Joan joined the group, mounted a camel, and walked slowly through the sand.

The wind was still strong today, she pinched the reins, looked at the snowflakes on the sand, the sun shone on the snow, the light was shining, the camel stepped on the dark sunlight one by one, the people in the team said her more familiar words, the wind passed between the turban and the pinna, a little pleasant, the sky and the earth seemed more empty and distant, for a moment, Joan also felt as if she should belong here.

When the idea popped up, she was startled by herself, and then knocked on her head: what are you thinking?

Soon the dead grass and shrubs on the ground began to increase, and by the time it was dark they had reached a field full of grass, and the bearded man at the head said that he would camp here so as not to meet wolves at night. Joan also took the initiative to help set up a bonfire, but everyone in the team treated her as a child and asked her to sit on the side and wait for the hot cooker cakes to eat.

Joan also sat by the fire, roasted her own dry food and distributed it to them, and they did not shirk, laughed and took it to eat, and told a little girl like her that she should bring someone with her when she was alone. Qiong didn't reply, just pursed her lips and smiled, the Rong women were also quite arrogant, eating meat and drinking wine around the fire with the men, they were all old people, and Qiong Yi was the same age as only a pair of young boys and girls, after asking, they knew that they were only thirteen or fourteen years old, but they were already husband and wife.

Joan also sighed a little, Middle-earth women can only marry when they are old, and men can only marry when they are crowned, which is not at all comparable to the custom of the Rong people.

They talked about doing business, and said that since the king decided to fight for the land of the five tribes last year, business has not been easy to do. However, with the king's oath to protect themselves, civilians can live in peace without having to join the army in large numbers.

This is the second time that Qiong Yi has heard the phrase "royal oath to protect himself" from the Rong mouth, and she does not understand what this string of syllables means.

Puzzled, she asked the young man and girl: "What is the 'king swears to protect himself' talking about?" ”

The young man looked at her in surprise, and the expression on his face seemed to say: Don't you know this?

Seeing Qiong Yi's purple pupils again, he replied: "It is the blessing that the king has bestowed on the soldiers, and with it, the soldiers of our clan will be invulnerable, go to heaven and earth, and show their might." ”

Joan is still puzzled, why does this "blessing" sound so weird? Is there really such a "blessing" technique in the world? That kind of blessing spell only exists at the level of wishes, right? Will the blessing of the Rong people have such a miraculous effect?

No matter how miraculous the young man tried, she still didn't believe it.

*

Yize, Sujiafu.

Counting the time it took to send the letter, and then the time it took for Daze to unblock, Sheng Xuanren and the three of them had been waiting for Qiong Yi for seven or eight days, but they didn't receive any news, let alone her figure.

These days, Sheng Xuanyan and Yan Tingshen are staying in the mansion as guests, and Yan Tingshen can see Su Xiaoxiao from time to time, so he is not in a hurry to enter the forbidden land to practice; Su Ye is accompanied by friends, and he often learns from each other, and he is not in a hurry; Sheng Xuan resented that he was waiting for Qiong to come, and he was not in a hurry. In the end, the most anxious thing is the hall master who opened the seal of the forbidden land in the clan, urging them to enter the "Chuanze" as soon as possible, otherwise no one can say how long they will stay in it.

On this day, at the urging of the hall master, Su Ye sighed and said, "Don't wait, right? It's been more than a month, and if Joan could come, she would have come a long time ago. ”

Although Sheng Xuanren did not speak, he had already acquiesced.

So, under the leadership of the Su clan master, they went to the so-called "Chuanze" forbidden land.

Kawasawa seemed to be in the house, and the longer he walked, the more sparse the houses in front of him became, and the sky was pale, and he couldn't see what time it was, and the fog began to spread around the three of them, and it became more and more dense, and when the hall master stopped, there was no road in front of him, but a lake that could not be seen.

It is said that there is no edge to be seen, but it is not accurate, because the surface of the river is shrouded in white mist, and the water mist is concentrated in one place, which cannot be dispersed at all, and there is not even a trace of wind.

There was a person standing on the shore, and the hall master greeted him: "Sect Master, the person has been brought." ”

Su Min said, "You stand down." ”

"Yes."

When he met Su Min again, Sheng Xuan didn't dare to look at him, because of the experience that his father told him at that time, seeing Su's father's current appearance, he always felt ashamed, or unbearable.

Su Min glanced at the three of them, and his gaze stayed on Yan Tingshen, who was still unfamiliar.

Su Min had actually heard of this person's name, after all, except for the incident caused by skipping school and snatching the sword, Yan Tingshen had never fallen behind in the year-long listening assessment, and he was knowledgeable and famous enough.

Moreover, in recent days, this kid has frequently taken the initiative to meet his daughter, which also makes him, a father, very troubled.

Seeing it now, it is a young man with both talents and appearances, which is much more pleasing to the eye than Sheng Zijing, which makes Su Min want to meddle in the heart, so he will accept it for the time being.

To his surprise, the little girl surnamed Lu didn't come.

Su Min raised his hand to show the water behind him: "Since the people have arrived, let's step into Chuanze." ”

Sheng Xuan looked at the surface of the water, but he was far away, and felt that "Chuanze" was a pool of water. Now that I got closer, I saw that it was a big lake, and I was amazed that there was such a lake hidden in the not very large area of Sujiafu.

There was a long bridge that was always narrow and narrow on the waterside, stretching zigzagly, and its end disappeared into the mist, which seemed to be the entrance to the forbidden land, Su Ye took the lead and said to them: "Let's go." ”

Watching Su Ye stride towards the bridge, Yan Tingshen followed closely behind, Sheng Xuan hesitated for a while, and walked behind them towards the depths of the fog. On the long bridge, the water mist rises, like a fairyland, the water is as clear as a mirror, looking down, like a piece of jade, no waves, I don't know the depth.

The fog around him became thicker and thicker, until it became a white net, covering everything in between, and it didn't take long for Sheng Xuanyan to see the embankment behind him, and even the bridge under his feet was overflowing with fog, everything seemed to tell him that there was no way back here.

At the same time, the road ahead is blank.

Sheng Xuanyan couldn't see Su Ye and Yan Tingshen in front of him clearly, but he vaguely sensed that both of them were there, and asked, "Su Ye?" ”

"I'm here. Yan Tingshen, what about you? ”

"I'm next to you."

Listening to the voices, the three of them were very close, but they couldn't see each other's faces clearly, and could only vaguely see a figure standing next to them in their vision.

Sheng Xuan was wary in his heart, ordinary fog would not be so strong, but this seemed to be just ordinary water mist, not miasma.

Before entering Chuanze, Su Ye had told the two of them that it was normal to see strange things in the secret realm. But the breath inside is staggered and complex, with demonic breath and ghost breath, and there is no wind and no sound.

It's so quiet.

Except for their voices, there was no sound around, and it was so quiet that it made people panic.

"It's fine." Su Ye said: "Keep moving forward." ”

Not long after moving forward, the three of them seemed to be no longer in the fog, and they seemed to be completely swallowed by the fog, Sheng Xuan's suspicion in his heart increased, his vigilance was high, and he raised his hand to suppress the Chengying Sword, at this time, he was completely unable to see the two people in front of him.

A voice came from the front: "Xuan Yan, are you there?" ”

It was Yan Tingshen's voice. Sheng Xuan replied with a grudge and said, "I'm here." He added, "Brother Yan, I can't see you at all." ”

There was silence for a while, and Yan Tingshen replied, "Me too." Su Ye, why don't you speak? ”

There was silence again.

Sheng Xuan's pupils shrank: "Su Ye? ”

Yan Tingshen was also shocked, raised his hand and walked around, trying to find someone in the white mist: "Su Ye, don't joke at this time." ”

Still silent.

Even if it was a joke, Su Ye would not make such a joke at such a time.

Yan Ting sighed in his heart, "Xuan resentment, Su Ye ...... him"

Gone.

Sheng Xuan frowned, the strangeness in his heart suddenly increased, and the person walking beside him disappeared inexplicably, and without warning, without even making a sound. He whispered, "...... Kawazawa, I just want the three of us to experience it alone. ”

This fog is anything but ordinary, and it is not so simple in this forbidden place.

The two of them forced their composure, only feeling that at this moment, the ground under their feet did not look like a stone bridge, nor did it look like land. I can't say it's soft, it's not hard, and I don't know whether I'm taking a detour or a straight road, whether it's uphill or downhill.

Yan Tingshen's back gradually oozed cold sweat, and when he didn't know what would happen in the next second, he tried to avoid a worse situation: "Xuan Resentment, if it goes on like this, you and I will also be separated." ”

Almost determined, Sheng Xuan complained: "...... Well. ”

Rather than being completely separated, it will always be safer to face the unknown together, he said, "Otherwise, let's pull." ”

"Okay." Sheng Xuanyan let go of his sword and stretched out his hand to the front.

In the next moment, in the fog, a hand took the initiative to hold him, it was a slender and soft hand.

It's a woman's hand.

The horror instantly magnified in his heart, Sheng Xuan shook off that hand like a hot hand, took a step back, pulled out the shadow and looked around in front of him, vigilantly looking around at everything: "Brother Yan? ”

There was no reply.

"Yan Tingshen, are you still there?"

In front of and behind him was still a blank blank of nothingness.

The answer is obvious, Yan Tingshen has also disappeared.

He was the only one left.

Sheng Xuanyan held his breath, and the only thought left in his heart was: they have been separated.

Completely separated.

Perhaps, this forbidden place is like this, you need to go alone, Sheng Xuanyan explained to himself. He still throbbed at the hand that had just appeared, not because he was afraid of something inhuman, but because he knew it all the more.

It's Qiong Yi's hand.

Warm and solid, the habit of taking the initiative to hold it is also completely consistent with her.

These are not simple illusions.

It's very strange here. Sheng Xuan gritted his teeth and put away his sword, regardless of Fang Cai's accident, he strode forward, he wanted to see clearly what was in this secret realm outside this fog.

Walking and walking, it seems that there is a wind, and the road under his feet is getting tougher, I don't know if it is his own illusion, Sheng Xuan always feels that the fog has faded.

The front was no longer completely white, but began to shine through the shadows, with more layers of changes, and there seemed to be a person standing in front of him, as if waiting for him.

The wind didn't know where it was blowing, and he didn't know where it should blow, Sheng Xuanyan walked forward against the wind, raised his hand to block his face, and when he opened his eyes again, the fog dissipated.

The man was standing in front of him.

Sheng Xuan was stunned.

Nothing was more shocking, stunned, surprised, even incredulous than this scene because it was in front of him.

He saw himself.

"The author has something to say: I was quite entangled about whether to send out the copy of Kawasawa, and finally chose to send it.

This paragraph was written a long time ago, even a long time before the northbound sword capture chapter-

Because the heroine of this copy is not there.,It's completely the male protagonist two or three in the training.,It will make me think about the necessity of putting this paragraph in the text.,But the sword chapter that came up later has already expounded the story from too many perspectives.,It's nothing to do it again.。

After all, the protagonist is not together (?′w'?)

The male protagonist is related to the third male, and I feel the need to write it out

As far as the sauce is concerned, I will try to write it as concisely as possible."
