Clear sky, cloudless. Between the rolling green hills, a black dot hovers leisurely in mid-air.

It was a crow with a ring of white feathers around its neck. It flew with great grace, and as its wingtips skimmed over the tall elm, it gave a demonstrative cry to the pair of grey magpies clinging to the nest. The cry was still ugly, but the tone was brisk, and it sounded a little proud.

It landed on the branch and shook its wings, its neck turned rapidly, a pair of dark eyes looked around, and then flapped its wings, and flew again, and then, like a black lightning, it fell straight at the group of hurried passers-by at the foot of the lower mountain.

Suddenly, it was gone. Just as it was about to shoot the listless young man like a pike, it suddenly turned into a faint puff of smoke and disappeared into the young man's light brown curls.

"Hey, Gurf, did Shokin bring back any news?" Qi Lang's voice rang out at the back of the group. He, Joanna and several other female soldiers have been by Qingguo's side. Her belly was getting bigger and bigger, and it was estimated that the little guy with a full name of more than a thousand letters was about to be born.

"It's not the same as it used to be. Gulf muttered, reluctantly pulled the horse, and slowly paced back to the commander's brother, "Where did Atza and Awang get that hell map? ”

As Gulf replied, he glanced at plump Lucy out of the corner of his eye. But Lucy turned her head with a snort, reached out and grabbed Parry's hairy arm, rolled her eyes, and ducked to the side. Gulf became even more depressed.

Qi Lang rubbed his head helplessly: "You haven't reconciled yet, if you want me to say, you should apologize to her and coax her, after all, it's all your fault......"

"Hell, don't you mention it, okay?" Gulf looked impatient, "I didn't mean to...... She ignored me and was her loss. How do you say, 'There are many fish in the sea'!"

Qingguo, who was sitting in the carriage, smiled and rubbed her belly, but she didn't forget to standardize Gulf's Middle-earth language: "You're stubborn, Gurf." We have the same idiom in our Middle-earth language, which is 'there is no grass at the end of the world'. ”

"That's what it means. Gulf raised his head strongly, "I know that there are a lot of herbs in this kingdom of Zonghao, and now the grass thief Gulf is here, girls, show your enthusiasm!"

But Gurf's bold words suddenly stuck at this point, probably because the tenant in his mind warned him, so he hung his head again, and quietly stretched out his hand and stabbed Qi Lang: "Brother, find an opportunity to help me talk about it one day, Lucy She admires you the most, you say a hundred sorry to me in one sentence, no, it's a thousand sentences." ”

"So, you're succumbing, the herbs of the Zonghao Kingdom should really be happy. Qi Lang laughed, but under the threat of Gulf's gaze, how could he refuse this request of his good brother. "I will, because I can't find a better match than you. He assured.

At this time, the brothers Atcha and Awang shook up, and they held the old topographic map left by Zhu Lai in their hands, with puzzled expressions on their faces.

"I suspect there was an earthquake here because the road signs on it were all out of position. Atcha handed over the drawings, "Look at it, the hill on the east side should be Lion Ridge, I remember very clearly, Xiangshui Lake is in the direction of the lion's head, there should be a duckbill gorge over there, in that flat and curved mountain col." But now it seems, everything is not right. The lion's head seems to be crooked...... What about the ducks? Did they fly away?"

Qi Lang held the map in his hand and carefully observed it. The signs on the map are very clear, there are no traces of alteration, and the two little fat men should not have taken the wrong way. However, the whole team has been going around this deserted mountain for more than ten days, and although they have been strictly following the signs on the map, they have never been able to find the way as if they had entered a maze, and even the flying expert of Schuekin, has not been able to find the location of Xiangshui Lake.

According to the prior analysis, the reason why Mr. Zhu Lai left this map behind must be that there must be a big secret hidden in it, which is likely to be related to the future and destiny of the restoration of the country. Therefore, since Qi Lang stepped into the territory of King Zonghao, he led all the soldiers of the Hope Legion to bypass many towns and cities, along the surging Daxin River, taking the northeast direction, and marched for about two months, and finally entered the primeval forest of the endless Zhongyang Mountain Range. Unexpectedly, in the most clearly marked place on the map, they actually got lost.

Qi Lang watched it for a long time, but he still couldn't see the reason, and a not-so-good idea unconsciously popped up from his head. "Well-informed two brothers," he asked Atsa and Awang, "I must say that I am not very familiar with the geography of the kingdom, but is it possible that in this vast land, there is another mountain called the Zhongyang Mountains, and there is also a mountain that looks like a lion?"

Atcha thought about the question seriously. But Ah Wang expressed his dissatisfaction at the first time: "Brother, are you kidding? Isn't this equivalent to saying that our intelligence is even lower than that of Ouwu? It must be here, we have been here three times, and the time has not passed too long, it is just over five years, I was only about six years old at that time, and my brother was only about five years old." ”

"I'm your brother!" Atcha knocked Wang's head angrily, "We were both five years old when we came, okay!"

"Five-year-old Oh ......" Hearing this unfortunate news, Qi Lang felt that this matter was even more unreliable.

However, right here, Qingguo struggled to sit up from the carriage: "Brother Qi Lang, I think there is a problem in this place......"

Qi Lang went over to help her and agreed with her judgment: "You can also see it, it is estimated that these two little guys must have made a mistake." ”

"It's not like that, they might be right, it's the place that's wrong. Qingguo shook her head, she pointed to the abrupt mountain rock by the stream in front of her, looked at the peach grove on the left, frowned and pondered for a moment, and then decisively gave an unusual judgment, "If I'm not mistaken, this is a feng shui array, a suspicious array." It is a superb formation that borrows the aura of heaven and earth from the mountain stone and the forest itself, and hides a large area. ”

"Feng Shui Array?!" Qi Lang's eyes widened in disbelief, "I thought...... Is such a mysterious thing real?"

Qingguo smiled faintly, she was used to this kind of reaction from laymen: "Of course the Feng Shui Array exists. As I said before, everything in nature in this world has its own breath. For example, the gurgling water is exuding the breath of meditation, for example, the majestic mountains are exuding the majestic atmosphere, and the peach grove is exuding the atmosphere of confusion...... There are some people who can skillfully combine those breaths to enlarge or shrink a certain breath to achieve their desired purpose. As it stands, there are indeed traces of people using the aura here......"

Hearing this mysterious introduction, Qi Lang became vigilant: "Qingguo girl, you mean, we have fallen into a trap, and there are people here?"

Qingguo nodded: "Although I only learned some fur from my father, I can still see this doubt. You see, in the direction of the three o'clock where we are opposite, the pile of rocks obviously moved backwards, and it was the dangerous aura emitted by those rocks that made us unconsciously avoid that direction and naturally walk along the waterfront, which is the birth gate of the earthquake position. As you can imagine, the man wanted to lead us away and didn't want to come into direct contact with us. ”

Qingguo's explanations were obviously a little too difficult to understand, not only Qi Lang was confused, but even Atcha and Wang, who had always claimed to be well-informed, looked confused. After looking at it for a while, Ah Wang finally couldn't help but ask: "I said Sister Qingguo, can you find a way to break this messy feng shui array, we can't be led by the nose." Those who turn around in this poor mountain and bad water also suffocate people to death. ”

"I don't have that much ability to break the formation, I'm just a beginner, and I don't have that much ability. Qingguo sighed leisurely, "If my father is here, this feng shui array will definitely be difficult for him." But I can take you for a walk, for the man is not hostile to him. It was as if he was just hiding something, or rather, he was protecting himself. ”

"It's enough to walk in. Qi Lang jumped off the war horse at this time, waved his hand and shouted to stop the team, "All the staff are on standby, we may have partners, be careful!" Gulf, Ou and Jira, call a few people, the Middle-earth language is more passable, we have to follow Qingguo on a trip, maybe there will be a discovery here." ”

Several brothers came up in a hurry, and they all seemed a little excited when the Hope Legion had been idle for a long time, and finally came to act again. As he approached in high spirits, the clever Jira glanced at Qi Lang again, and it was clear that his keen perception was at work again.

"There are people here. "I thought it was a monkey or something, but from this perspective, I can finally confirm that he is indeed a human being. He followed us for about two hours......"
