After receiving an uncertain clue from Venerable Lan Xuan, Bai Yingxue and Luo Jingbo embarked on a long journey. Fortunately, the demon domain is vast and sparsely populated, and the scenery is beautiful, so I don't feel bored all the way. There is another reason why the two of them deliberately slowed down: Bai Yingxue wanted to test the results of the "Ten Absolute Tunes" during the trip.

All kinds of poisons have unique living habits, so white cherry blossoms and snow mostly choose damp and dense grass places to walk. Luo Jingbo is an out-and-out expert in finding poisons, and under her guidance, she caught a lot of poisons along the way. Bai Yingxue tried the effect of the Ten Absolute Tunes several times, and they were all very good. The only regret is that none of the poisons caught along the way are powerful, and most of them are not separately recorded in "Ten Absolute Tunes". Such poisons are unbearable, so Bai Yingxue finally released them all.

Seeing that the test was good, Bai Yingxue no longer wasted time and began to fly with Luo Jingbo. Countless mountains and rivers swept below, and the two gradually approached the southwest end of the Demon Domain. Luo Jingbo seemed to like the feeling of flying very much, and as soon as he arrived in the sky, he chattered non-stop, very excited, and even more looking forward to being able to fly by himself after cultivating to the Five Elements level in the future.

This night, while resting in the wilderness, Luo Jingbo lay on the ground and looked up at the starry sky, and suddenly sighed: "This vast land is really boundless, fortunately, cultivators can fly, if you only rely on your feet, it will take a year and a half to go out of the long way, it will be too delayed!"

This remark occasionally touched a thought in Bai Yingxue's mind, and she asked, "Xiaobo, after you and your brother arrived at Yixia Mountain, did he go out every once in a while?"

"No, I don't. Brother, he devoted himself to the skill of detoxification, and rarely went down the mountain. Occasionally, when I go down the mountain, I also go to the two nearby mountains to take care of the poison, go out early and return late, and return in one day. What's wrong?"

Bai Yingxue's heart sank, but she still pretended to be casual: "It's nothing, just ask." When your brothers and sisters were cultivating with their father, where did they cultivate?"

"I don't remember exactly, but I remember living in a small village. When my father died, I was still young, and at that time, even my brother had just cultivated to the third talent level!"

"Then do you still have an impression, is that village close or far from Yixia Mountain?"

After my brother buried my father, he took me away from my hometown and walked a long way. When passing through Yixia Mountain, my brother chose it as a place to settle. ”

"Remember how many days I was gone?"

"About 20 days, and finally I was too tired to walk, and my brother carried me on his back. Luo Jingbo said, "Sister Xue, what are you asking for?"

Bai Yingxue sighed: "I'm afraid your woman's intuition is wrong, and our trip is empty again!"

Luo Jingbo got up with a bone: "How can you see it?"

"Since Xiulin Mountain has the poison that your brother raised, then he should take care of it from time to time. Just now you said that he would only come back in one day when he went down the mountain, so it was impossible for him to reach such a far place at the southwest end of the Demon Domain, and Xiulin Mountain was probably not there. "White cherry blossom course.

"Oh, yes! I was negligent about that!"

"There is also a very small possibility that Ling Zun and Brother Ling completed the breeding of poison a long time ago. After Ling Zun died, Brother Ling never went to Xiulin Mountain once. However, judging from his strength at that time, this possibility was very small. After a pause, Bai Yingxue said again, "You didn't know how to fly when you were a child, and your brother took you to a place where there was no road in the barren mountains and mountains, and he was looking for a suitable place to live while walking, so the distance of walking for more than 20 days, if you fly back and forth, it is estimated that it will be a day's work." Based on this, it is assumed that the small village where you used to live should not be too far from Yixia Mountain. In this way, Xiulin Mountain should not be far away. ”

"Then we should look near Mount Yixia, and we'll turn around and go back tomorrow." Luo Jingbo said.

"Forgive me for taking the liberty of going home, if you go home, you will definitely not be able to find Xiulin Mountain. Suddenly a voice came out of the grass.

Bai Yingxue took Luo Jingbo behind her and shouted, "Who is it?"

"Don't panic, girl, I'm not a wicked person. The grass more than a man tall was pushed open by a folding fan, and a handsome man came out of it. He was dressed in green clothes, a yellow coat, long hair tied behind his head, his eyebrows were clear, his face was like a warm jade, he was seven feet tall, and his aura was extraordinary. He smiled slightly and bowed: "I'm ordering Hu Rui, I'm sorry to disturb you." ”

"Why are you eavesdropping on our conversation!" Although the other party was polite, Bai Yingxue still did not let down her guard.

"The two of you lit a bonfire in the middle of nowhere, and I was drawn to it by the light. Until I'm sure you're good or evil, I don't dare to show up. Ling Hurui said it reasonably.

Bai Yingxue continued to ask, "Then what are you doing here?"

"To tell you the truth, I'm going to Xiulin Lake. Ling Hurui said calmly, "The two of you want to find Xiu Lin Mountain?"

"Do you know where Xiulin Mountain is?" Bai Yingxue was very suspicious, how could it be so coincidental that she met a person who was also going to Xiulin Lake?

"Xiulin Mountain, in the middle of Xiulin Lake. Linghu Rui's words were amazing.

"There are mountains in the lake?" Luo Jingbo shook his head repeatedly, "Impossible! Venerable Lan Yan said that the lake is surrounded by a large wasteland, if there is a mountain on the island in the middle of the lake, how can he not know it?" Bai Yingxue quickly pinched her, before figuring out Ling Hurui's origin, it was not wise to mention the name of Venerable Yube.

Ling Hurui said with a smile: "Who said that the mountain is on the island in the middle of the lake? Xiulin Mountain is at the bottom of Xiulin Lake!"

Bai Yingxue and Luo Jingbo glanced at each other. If Xiulin Mountain is really hidden in the lake, it is indeed possible that it will never be known. However, there are still doubts about this matter, and Bai Yingxue said: "Then how do you know."

There are mountains in Dao Lake?"

Ling Hurui said: "I guess." ”

Luo Jingbo was suddenly deflated, and pouted: "It's nonsense to make trouble for a long time!"

"It's not a guess, I'm right. Ling Hurui sat down beside the bonfire to himself, "'Brilliant green, what is the brilliance......?'

"'Showing the mountains and dew'!" Luo Jingbo was surprised and read the last sentence in unison with Ling Hurui.

Ling Hurui "brushed" and unfolded the folding fan, and fanned it up comfortably: "It turns out that the little girl has also heard this folk ballad, so she should know that what I said is true." ”

"What kind of folk song is this?" Bai Yingxue looked at Luo Jingbo.

"I don't know very well, but my father did let me memorize this little poem when I was a child. I was not interested in poetry and poetry at all, I only remembered the words and did not understand their meaning. After all these years, I wouldn't have remembered it if he hadn't mentioned it. ”

Bai Yingxue thought for a moment and said, "As far as I understand, the meaning of these four sentences is: Why does a piece of crystal green water shine brightly? But it's strange that 'eyes facing each other' is actually a wrong word, and the correct one should be 'eyes facing each other'. And the meanings of the four sentences seem to be unrelated. ”

"It's 'eyes facing each other', and if it's 'four eyes', it's wrong. Ling Hurui explained, "Wrong, there must be a wrong reason." What if the 'eye' here does not refer to the eyes, but to the 'wood' of the 'wood'?

"Where is the word 'show' in 'Xiulin'?" Bai Yingxue asked.

"In the previous sentence, the word 'He Nai', if it is the 'He' of 'He Miao', and the word 'Nai' are spelled into a 'show' word. Whether it is the word 'Xiu' split into the words 'He' and 'Nai', or 'Shuangmu opposite', it all shows the meaning of 'separation'. And 'shining green' can be understood as lake water. The lake is divided into two parts, and it is 'dew' and 'mountain'. Therefore, the true meaning of this folk song is to show that Xiulin Mountain is in the water of Xiulin Lake. Ling Hurui shared his thoughts and thoughts.

It makes sense. Moreover, Luo Jingbo also memorized this folk song, proving that it was not made up by Ling Hurui himself, which made Bai Yingxue and Luo Jingbo convinced.

However, there is another question at the moment, and that is Ling Hurui's purpose. Bai Yingxue asked her, "What are you doing at Xiulin Lake?"

"For the treasure. Ling Hurui put away the folding fan, leaned closer to the two of them, and whispered, "'Bright green, why is it shining brightly?' because there is a treasure in the lake!"

"How can you understand that?" said Shirakuyuki in surprise.

"Of course, 'folk songs are actually a mantra for finding treasures', this is just a rumor, but most people in the world can't think of what 'Yingying Green' means, so naturally they don't know that there are treasures in Xiulin Lake. Ling Hurui said proudly.

"Since you finally guessed the secret of the folk song, why did you tell us so easily?" Luo Jingbo also felt that this made Hu Rui a little wrong.

"I have just heard your conversation and know that what you are looking for is not the treasure. I look at the two people who are good-looking, and they don't seem to be people with evil intentions. Besides, treasures are not easy to obtain, even if you want to seize the treasure, hehe, you may not be able to succeed!" Judging from Ling Hurui's words, he was very confident in his strength.

Bai Yingxue said, "We are not interested in any treasures, and we hope that you will not get in the way of us when the time comes." ”

Ling Hurui readily agreed: "So, are you two willing to walk with me?"

......

Late at night, Ling Hurui sat by the campfire and closed his eyes to meditate. Bai Yingxue and Luo Jingbo sat on the other side of the fire.

"Sister Xue, do you think that person is reliable?" Luo Jingbo asked in a low voice.

Looking at the looming figure in the firelight, Bai Yingxue shook her head.

"So what do we do?"

Bai Yingxue took out an object and glanced at Luo Jingbo. Luo Jingbo comprehended, took out a bamboo flute and blew it "woo yay".

"It's really admirable that a little girl can still have this Yaxing when she sleeps in the wilderness. Contemptible people are not talented, and they are willing to make peace with the girl. Ling Hurui actually showed a long flute and blew it to Luo Jingbo's tune.

The flute and the chirping, floating leisurely over the wilderness, have a unique charm. Luo Jingbo secretly laughed: "Although you are harmonious, my flute music has a mystery." After the end of an ordinary minor tune, Luo Jingbo immediately played the insect repellent flute song in "Ten Absolute Tunes", Bai Yingxue opened the lid of the bamboo basket in time, and the three centipedes crawled out silently, bypassing the bonfire, and crawling towards Ling Hurui.

Ling Hurui didn't know how to repel the flute, so he put down the flute and quietly listened to Luo Jingbo play alone.

Luo Jingbo looked at Bai Yingxue, Bai Yingxue nodded, so she changed her tone. At this time, Ling Hurui suddenly began to blow the flute again, and the sound of the flute changed from the previous gentleness, and suddenly it was high-pitched and sharp. He got up and retreated while blowing, and then put away the flute and laughed wildly: "Treat each other with sincerity, but the two of you spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." Come on, let's do it for yourselves!" With that, his figure turned into a white light, and sped away across the wilderness, disappearing into the darkness in the distance.

Luo Jingbo was so shocked that he couldn't come back to his senses for a while: "He, he actually messed up my flute with the sound of the flute just now!"

Bai Yingxue was taken aback when she heard this.

"Da Qing, Da Hong, and Da Hei should have raised their heads and put on an attacking posture, but after listening to the sound of the flute, they were all stunned!" Luo Jingbo said.

"How is this possible?" Bai Yingxue rushed to the other side of the fire, only to see three large centipedes curled up on the side, their abdomen turned out, and their long beards drooping, and they were really faint.

Bai Yingxue turned around and looked at Luo Jingbo. "The sound of the centipede can stun us

Didn't you feel anything unusual?"

"It's not just about sound, it's about Xiaoqu. That should be an insect repellent song beyond the scope of "Ten Absolute Tunes"!" Luo Jingbo was very sure, "That Ling Hurui is a master of insect repellent!"

Bai Yingxue sighed, "That's what I'm most worried about. I wanted to try him with three centipedes, but I turned out to be a master of insect repellent!"

"Phew, that guy is really not a good person!" Luo Jingbo scolded in the direction where Ling Hurui left, "It's a shame that he is personable and dignified!"

Bai Yingxue said, "I can't be sure if it's a good person or not." If the little poem you memorized is really a folk song, then many people must have heard it. Imagine how Ling Zun and Brother Ling could pick the place where the folk song alludes to store poison? I thought Ling Hurui was lying, that little poem must have been made up by your father himself, and you were asked to memorize it when you were young, and when you became strong, you would understand it yourself. ”

"Why bother so much, just tell me the location of Xiulin Mountain or let my brother relay it to me?" Luo Jingbo couldn't figure it out.

"Uh...... Maybe Ling Zun has his own considerations. Bai Yingxue naturally wouldn't reveal the secret of blood feeding, so she quickly changed the conversation, "But the question is, how did Ling Hurui know about this little poem? First, see if he understands your insect repellent flute, and second, see how he reacts to poisonous insects. Now it's clear that he's really a master of deworming, proving that my guess should be correct. Do you really not have any impression of him?"

Luo Jingbo frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head helplessly: "Since I can remember, I don't remember anyone worshipping my father as a teacher. Dad's apprentices are only two of us. Or maybe before I was born, my father used to take others as apprentices, but my father repeatedly told me that insect repellent is our Luo family's special skill, I don't think there should be a reason to spread it, right?"

"Isn't it going to be passed on......" Bai Yingxue touched her chin, "Xiaobo, what's your mother's surname?"

"The surname is Gao. ”

"Do you have an aunt?"

Luo Jingbo shook her head: "Father and brother have never said ......" Suddenly, she seemed to remember something again, and hurriedly said, "A long time ago, for a period of time, there was a woman who often came to the house as a guest. Her father and brother were very polite to her, but they didn't say who this person was......"

Bai Yingxue nodded, having a rough guess in her heart, she said, "That's right." That woman must be your aunt. Your aunt later married a person with the surname Linghu, and that Linghu Rui was most likely your cousin. In this way, it is not surprising that he knows both insect repellent skills and that little poem. ”

"Cousin...... Then he just recognized the truth directly, why didn't he say it?" Luo Jingbo was very dissatisfied, "I didn't say what I should say, but I said a lot of nonsense, and finally ran away." I'm afraid he doesn't know about my brother's death, and it stands to reason that since he is my cousin, he also has the responsibility to avenge my brother!"

"Don't expect anyone else. He at least told us the location of Xiulin Mountain, otherwise even if we arrived at Xiulin Lake, I am afraid that we would not have thought of exploring the lake. "White cherry blossom course. In fact, "Ling Hurui is Luo Jingbo's cousin" is just a seemingly reasonable guess, but this guess does not solve all doubts. For example, Ling Hurui's claim that the treasure of Xiulin Lake should be different from the poison fed by blood, and for example, how Luo Huansheng traveled back and forth between Xiulin Lake and Yixia Mountain in one day. At this time, Bai Yingxue suddenly remembered Ainana, the magical woman who could send Xiao Tianhe to the Heavenly Prison in half a day. She had to start thinking about the possible connections between these things.

"Isn't he going to Xiulin Lake? We also hurry up and wait for him at Xiulin Lake. After seeing him again, I must ask things clearly!" Luo Jingbo said.

Bai Yingxue disagreed: "More is better than less." Since he didn't want to tell him just now, even if you forced him to ask him then, he wouldn't admit it. Besides, I don't think he'll be in front of us again, at least in the near future. In short, his strength is above mine, which shows that he has no intention of harming us. As for whether the treasure he spoke of is true or false, we can also test it at that time. ”
