After a period of nurturing in a special atmosphere, the people of the Hidden Sanctuary have become calm and reserved, they have abandoned their demonic curiosity, and they have learned to respect the secrets of others.

If the secret is known by a second person, it is no longer a secret.

In the sound of gurgling water, everyone fell asleep. They slept very soundly this night, even if the waterfall was a few hundred meters away.

In the early morning, listening to the birdsong, they washed in the stream under the waterfall. All the way to the north, more than 200 kilometers north, the tropics in the cold winter period also brought a wisp of coolness. The crisp water of the stream sprinkled on the cheeks was like a new life.

After simply making supplies, everyone decided to take advantage of their physical strength to go around the cliff and wait for the afternoon to get tired before turning to the Purple Scale Dragon. The morning light is shining in the sky, and the rooster crow in the distant mountains is the bell of nature, indicating that a new day has begun.

"If there is a rooster crowing here, it means that there must be a village nearby. I miss our old manor!" Zovinie stretched, a happy smile on her face, "When I was a child, I would find a few extra eggs in the nest every morning when I fed the poultry, and that was what I looked forward to the most. ”

Along the stream, they headed all the way east. Facing the morning sun gives people a feeling of warmth, so they chose the eastern path. Ranaya opened the map and glanced at it, and knew that the cliff was about an elliptical cylinder, with a stream running around the mountain. The mountain stretches for fifty miles, and is very narrow longitudinally, almost only a few thousand meters. The waterfall was exactly at the midpoint where they had camped the night before, so at their pace, they could walk for less than two hours to see the other side of the cliff.

"It's only a few thousand meters, wouldn't it be nice if we let the Purple Scale Dragon take us over? Why do you have to walk so long? Grint said, looking at the map.

Zhuo Vini patted Grint on the shoulder: "This is a good opportunity for morning exercise, is there such a good environment for you to exercise in the Hidden Sanctuary?"

"Hmm......" Grint pouted reluctantly, muttered a few incantations, and with a few gestures in his hand, a few swift rays of light fell on everyone.

The overall speed of the team has suddenly improved qualitatively, and everyone is windy under their feet, and when they walk by, they can drive the velvet grass under their feet to shake. At the beginning, the end of the road was still facing the rising sun, and slowly the morning sun disappeared, which was good news for them, indicating that they were turning, such a considerable speed, which is rare to see at their age.

The road gradually narrowed from being able to accommodate five people at the beginning, to only two people in parallel. The stream turned into a waist-wide gully that stretched forward with the foot of the mountain. The broad-leaved forest on the side of the road was unconsciously replaced by a flower forest, with beautiful pink flowers clustered on the branches, and delicate petals falling to the ground from time to time, and the shallow water surface, like a picture scroll. The fragrance is overflowing, refreshing and intoxicating.

"It's so pretty......" Grint couldn't help but admire.

"yes. Ted said.

"I really want to draw them. Arnold smiled.

"Hmm...... What kind of flower is this?" asked Zovinie.

"Cherry blossoms. ”

Everyone turned their heads one after another, only to see that a few petals happened to fall on the palm of Lanaya's hand, and the color of the flower was very similar to the skin color, so compatible.

"Sakura ......?" Zhuo Winnie was puzzled, raised her head and frowned to think about something, and said after a long time, "Is there such a flower?"

Lanaya was stunned, and her temporarily paused pace resumed her march again, and she didn't say anything more.

Behind the narrow path of cherry blossoms, there is a field. The field trails are winding and long, and the eyes are lush and delightful green. Neat and austere, the crops in this field are like well-trained guards, stationed here, watching over the seasons that belong to them. In the distance, among the pastures, there are herds of cattle and sheep, and the shepherds are two or three o'clock, and the leisurely cries in the fields make the clouds in the east more beautiful.

The people of the Hidden Sanctuary who were accustomed to castle-like buildings were now greedily breathing in the air beneath the sky, and they could see in the distance that the lilac mist lingered in the mountains to the west, lightly covering the waterfall that flowed down between the cliffs, which was the other side of the waterfall they had seen last night.

Smelling the faint aroma of crops, they strolled along the field paths and saw clusters of low-rise houses in the distance. The sound of children's laughter came from it, and Zovini smiled, "I guessed right, there is indeed a village here. ”

An old man with a long beard passed by the side of the trail on crutches, and he glanced at the people of the Hidden Sanctuary as if at random, and then looked shocked. He opened his mouth, revealing only three or four teeth, and his beard trembled as he spoke.

"Thou ...... Wait, who are you?"

Listening to the old man's words, Lanaya was slightly puzzled, and looked at the old man from top to bottom, his dress was no longer simple, and it was more appropriate to say that it was outdated. Dressed in a cloth suit, he was sloppy with a wide cloth belt to tie his waist, and he was wearing cloth shoes under his feet. As you can see, these are all handmade, because there are obvious stitches around the edges. The fabric looks like it's been washed for I don't know how many times, and the middle part is a little whitish, and there are patches everywhere. But the overall look is very clean and neat, without a trace of dust.

"Grandpa, we were just passing by here and didn't mean to bother. Grint behaved politely: "What kind of place is this?"

"This is Sakura Village, where did you come from?" said this, and the old man stretched out his palm to encircle the low house behind him.

"Holy Hidden ......" Before Grint could finish speaking, there was a pain in her forearm, and she gasped in pain, and when she turned around, she saw Lanaya make a silent gesture with a serious expression.

The old man stroked his beard, frowned, and slowly shook his head twice: "I haven't heard of this place." ”

Arnold asked again, "What about Wind Feather City?"

The old man shook his head again.

Ranaya had more and more questions in her heart, Saint Hidden City and Wind Feather City, where the two great miracles are located, how could there be anyone on this continent who hadn't heard of it? After thinking for a long time, she opened her mouth: "You Gui Geng?"

The old man suddenly smiled, as if with a faint pride, and he habitually put his hand on his beard again: "The old man is one hundred and fifty and seven years old this year. ”

Everyone was taken aback by this number, the lifespan of the supernatural is only one hundred and twenty years, but in fact, ordinary people can only live to be in their nineties, provided that they are in good health and have not encountered natural or man-made disasters. There will be a higher level of psionic power, but it is impossible to live to be one hundred and fifty years old casually!

Seeing the surprised expressions of these children, the old man's smile deepened, and the wrinkles continued down the corners of his eyes to his temples, and he stretched out his hand and signaled, "You wait, please come with the old man." ”

The people of the Hidden Sanctuary didn't know what to do for a while, and they all felt that there seemed to be something interesting hidden in this place, so they followed.

They followed the old man to a pool of water. A towering cherry tree stretches its branches at the edge of the pond, and its petals fall all over the pond. The water in the pond is very clear, and there are many people carrying wooden buckets to fetch water, and most of them look at each other and smile when they meet, greet each other, and return together. Some of them looked up and saw the people of the Hidden Sanctuary with surprised expressions on their faces, the older ones just left after being shocked, and the younger ones stopped where they were, their eyes turned to this side, and began to talk.

"Who are they, why haven't I seen them before?"

"yes, I haven't seen it either, no one in our village would dress like this. ”

"Hey, look at that little boy, why is his hair gray at such a young age? What is the thing he is carrying on his back, it looks so heavy, isn't it tired?"

...... Arnold doesn't know how he would feel if he heard someone talking about it.

The old man bent down and took out a few teacups with a diameter of only a coin from somewhere in his arms, although the old technique was very refined, four were stuck between the four fingers, and the fifth one in the palm of his hand, he reached into the pool water, and then quickly scooped it up, and five cups of clear water were contained in the teacup. The old man walked over with a smile, handed each person a teacup, and said, "This is the water of the cherry blossom stream, drinking it can purify the heart and prolong life." ”

Grint drank it in one gulp, and his expression was the same as eating Tang monk's meat. It turns out that the secret of the old man's ability to live so long is in this cherry blossom stream!

Everyone else also drank it all, and they all felt a fairy aura in the water, imperceptibly improving the meridians in their bodies. Ranaya was the only one who didn't drink it, she covered it with her cuffs and poured the water on the ground. Fortunately, it is land, not slate, and the amount of water is very small, which is not easy to attract attention. This place is so suspicious! Before leaving, you must investigate this place clearly, and when you return to the Holy Hidden City, you must report what you have seen and heard truthfully.

Ever since Zovini said she didn't know there were cherry blossoms, Lanaya thought it was suspicious.

"How's that, how does it feel?" the old man touched his beard and said with a smile, "Judging by what you're wearing, you must have come from far away." You should be tired after such a long journey, why don't you come to the old man's house as a guest, the old man happened to have a guest at noon, and the dishes will be more sumptuous if you come. ”

The foodies in the squad immediately came to cheer when they heard that there was something to eat. Grint also blinked his eyes in confusion twice, and said, "Strange, it doesn't seem to be so difficult to listen to you now." ”

Everyone else said the same, but what Ranaya heard was not an easy-to-understand vernacular, it was still a very old way of speaking. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that she didn't drink the water from the cherry blossom stream......

The old man smiled but did not answer, and made a gesture to signal everyone to walk towards the house.

The small roads in the village are full of twists and turns, and there is no regularity at all. I'm afraid that if you let a road idiot live in this cherry blossom village, you will have to take the map of the village when you go home. At the entrance of the simple house, the adults went to work in the fields, the old people moved out of their chairs to bask in the sun leisurely, and the children played in pairs, but when the Hidden Sanctuary passed by, they all stared at it for a long time. This look was the same as the gaze cast by the people on the side of the road when Ranaya, who was still a human at the beginning, walked into the Holy Hidden City.
