On the rocks covered with dark blue moss, a drop of water fell, hitting Xia Yuan's eyebrows, and the water splashed and shone brightly.

Xia Yuan's long eyelashes trembled a few times, and then he slowly opened his eyes, through the dense branches, the light in the gap was a little dazzling.

"Tick!"

Xia Yuan's eyes were a little hollow, and after a long time, another drop of water fell, Xia Yuan's empty eyes cleared, he supported the ground with both hands, and sat up.

"Where is this?"

Xia Yuan raised his eyes and looked around, the surroundings were steep, and the trees were shady, and the wind was a little strong, this was a cliff.

On the edge of the cliff, a cypress is vigorously rooted in the crack of the stone, a green vine surrounds the trunk of the cypress, and bears three yellow gourds, the gourd hangs in the air, and is swinging in the wind.

"Gourd, you can make a wine gourd, take it back to fill it with wine for grandpa, grandpa's wine gourd should have been changed a long time ago. ”

In the wind and snow, a wine gourd hanging on a wooden stick has turned black, which is used by grandpa to hold wine, and grandpa is good for this. "In this world, in this rivers and lakes, people come in a hurry, and go in a hurry, holding the hilt of the sword, hanging their heads on their waists, talking and laughing about the emperor's hegemony, it is better than a drunk in the world. Wine is a good thing, this person's heart, don't mention it, it's best not to touch it. This is grandpa's nonsense after he got drunk, but it was remembered by Xia Yuan.

"These three gourds are much bigger than the wine gourd in Grandpa's hand, and they can hold a lot of wine, even if Grandpa is greedy, he is not afraid of running out of wine to drink. ”

Xia Yuan got up, walked to the edge of the cliff, and pressed a raised rock with the instep of his foot, and he leaned out half of his body, the distance was a little far, Xia Yuan was also a little difficult, and after trying to reach out many times, he took off the three gourds.

"Pack up the wine and send it to grandpa. ”

Xia Yuan was holding the gourd in both hands, and he was also overjoyed, his grandfather's wine gourd was blackened, and it looked weird and dirty.

"That's, a spirit beast egg, this is not a hanging cliff, I'm in the ancient ruins!"

The milky white spirit beast egg was quietly placed there, and Xia Yuan, who didn't notice it at the first time, saw the gourd, and thought about the people he missed, so he thought that he had returned to the hanging cliff.

In front of the wooden house, there were Xia Yuan's favorite toys, some small stones that he had carefully polished.

"I have deceived myself. ”

Looking at the cliff again, Xia Yuan also showed a wry smile.

"I don't know who rescued me here, and I don't know what happened to the two brothers and sisters?"

When the eggs are stolen, the cockscomb will go berserk. If Xia Yuan left before leaving, if the Yun Bufan brothers and sisters listened to it, they should be safe and sound, and what they were afraid of was one of their tendons.

After a short time together, Xia Yuan also figured out the hearts of the two brothers and sisters.

"I can't care so much, I have to find Yun Bufan's brothers and sisters first, and I think of that stupid girl, just looking weak. ”

Xia Yuan put away the gourd and spirit beast eggs, and ran down the cliff in a hurry, but the road down the mountain was narrow and steep, and Xia Yuan only slowed down the pace of his feet.

The cliff is not high, and it is only halfway up the mountain.

Half a time later, Xia Yuan, who was red and panting, finally came to the foot of the mountain, and what he saw was a forest, verdant, deep and quiet.

"It was an old man and a child. ”

Not far away, an old man with gray hair and beard, with a bamboo basket hanging from his waist, holding a pickaxe in his hand, and a small dot followed the old man's side, and in the ear of the little dot, there was a yellow wild chrysanthemum, and the little dot pulled the corner of the old man's clothes, bouncing.

An old man and a young man, walking slowly in the forest, talking and laughing, both of them were dressed plainly.

"Grandpa, look, there's a little brother in front. ”

Looking around, Xiao Budian's eyes were very sharp, and after a distance, he could also find Xia Yuan who was about to take a detour.

Xiao Budian pulled the sleeve of the old man's shirt, and pointed to the distance, a little face flushed with excitement.

"If the little brother wants to come up with this ghost forest, can you come forward and talk about it?"

The old man got up, put the freshly dug herbs and pickaxe into the bamboo basket at his waist, he patted the dirt on his hands, and said with a smile, revealing a row of yellow teeth.

"Ghost Forest?"

Xia Yuan raised his eyes and glanced around, the trees were green and red, very quiet, and he didn't see anything special about this forest, why did he call it a ghost forest?

The people who came to the ancient ruins were nervous, and the danger coexisted by chance, and the old and the young in front of them seemed to be a little more leisurely, which was very special.

Xia Yuan hesitated, he looked at the two of them, neither to go, nor to stay.

"Grandpa, little brother seems to be afraid of us. ”

Xiao Budian bit his little finger in his mouth and said with a serious face, and after that, Xiao Budian stretched out his hands and waved. "Little brother, my grandfather and I are just here to collect medicine, and my grandfather knows the way out of the ghost forest, don't run around alone. ”

Xiao Budian was jumping and waving his hands at the same time, he was not tall, he was full of strength, and his little face was red.

"Tong Tong, since the little brother doesn't want to come to us, then let's just walk towards the little brother. ”

The old man with yellow teeth smiled, stretched out his hand to lead Tong Tong, and walked slowly towards Xia Yuan. "This is the ghost forest, there is a natural maze, if you don't know the way out of the ghost forest, you will be lost in this ghost forest for the rest of your life, if you don't believe in the old man, you might as well give it a try." ”

When Xia Yuan was gathered a few steps away, the old man with yellow teeth stopped, he grinned toothily, and at the same time made a gesture of please.

"Seniors, juniors dared to ask, this is an ancient ruin, why did the seniors bring their grandchildren here. ”

is called a child's little dot, a few years old, with red lips and white teeth, and white and pure skin. Xia Yuan looked away and arched his hand.

In the forest, there are only three of them, if the old man with yellow teeth wants to make a move on him, I am afraid that he will not wait until now, and he has been patient.

"The predecessors don't dare to be, the old man just lives in this world for a little longer, a mountain village wild man, where dare to let the little prince of the Celestial Dynasty call the old man a senior. ”

The yellow-toothed old man stretched out his hand and stroked his beard, his eyebrows and eyes smiled, but the Tong Tong next to him was a little restless, he trotted and came to Xia Yuan's side, tilted his head, his eyes widened, and looked at Xia Yuan carefully. "Little brother, you have a mask on your face, are you afraid that others will recognize you?"

Tong Tong tilted his head and said with a puzzled expression.

"Who the hell are you?"

Xia Yuan's expression was gloomy, holding the rough sword tire in his hand, and he suddenly took a few steps back, his eyes looked at Tong Tong in shock.

The little thing in front of him, the immature and innocent face, and the lack of any cultivation, gave Xia Yuan a feeling of extreme danger.

It was a monstrous sea of blood, endlessly surging, and under the sea of blood, the corpses of white bones were not really dead, they were also shouting as hard as they could.

"Whew!"

The gathering was a little farther away, and the feeling of extreme danger disappeared. Xia Yuan exhaled a long breath from his mouth, the wind blew, and his back was a little cold, and he was scared out of a cold sweat unconsciously.

And what kind of scene is that monstrous sea of blood?

"The old man is just a village man in the mountains, and he took Tong Tong here to pick some herbs and go back to exchange some silver coins to live. The old man's ability to recognize the little prince at a glance is related to the old man's practice, so the little prince doesn't have to be afraid, and Tong Tong is also unintentional. ”

The old man with yellow teeth reached out and pulled Tong Tong back, hugged him in his arms, and whispered in Tong Tong's ear. "Tong Tong is good, Tong Tong will sleep for a while, grandpa will send the little prince out of the ghost forest first, and we will go to the general to hide and seek together, okay?"

"Grandpa, that Tong Tong went to bed first, and when he arrived at the general's uncle, Grandpa has to wake up Tong Tong. ”

Tong Tong stretched out a pair of small hands, and after pulling the beard of the old man with yellow teeth, he obediently lay down in the arms of the old man with yellow teeth, closed his eyes, and quieted down.

"Senior, do you think the junior seems to be so easy to fool?"

The corners of Xia Yuan's mouth were a little bitter, but the casualness of the yellow-toothed old man also made him dare not relax in the slightest.

Escape, this is a ghost forest, and there is no need for the old man with yellow teeth to deceive Xia Yuan.

"Believe, there is. If you don't believe it, you don't. Why should the little prince insist on whether the old man lied to you or not, in this ghost forest, there is no one around, and only the old man can take the little prince out. ”

The child in his arms fell asleep, looking very quiet and well-behaved, and the words in the mouth of the old man with yellow teeth were a little lighter.

"The heart of defense is indispensable, please forgive me. ”

Xia Yuan arched his hand, gritted his teeth, and withdrew the rough sword tire in his hand.

"In this world, the easiest thing to understand is the human heart, and the most difficult thing to understand is also the human heart. If we insist on distinguishing between right and wrong, won't we divide good and evil in our hearts! Looking at the world, what is good and what is evil? Everyone in the world is different, has a different story, and naturally does different things, but they all think that they are right. ”

The yellow-toothed old man gently patted Tong Tong's back, and he also turned around, raised his feet and left. "Little prince, please follow the old man, if there is a place you want to go, the old man can also show the way for the little prince. ”

"Thank you for your teachings. ”

Yes, people's hearts, what is people's hearts, ill-intentioned predictions are people's hearts, caring is people's hearts, and secretly guarding against them is also people's hearts.

Xia Yuan's eyes lit up, as if he had understood something, a clear conscience is a human heart, and peace of mind is also a human heart.

There are thousands of people in the world, and there are thousands of people's hearts.

The figure of the yellow-toothed old man in front of him walked very slowly, a little bent back, he was very old, and he was not ranked by seniority, but he was reasonable, and he couldn't refute it in the slightest.

"Do you know how to go to Blackwater Lake?"

Xia Yuan followed closely behind the old man with yellow teeth.
