At Pan Yuyin's suggestion, Xun Qin left a large number of people in Shenzhou to stand by, and only brought Abaolu, Xiao Yang, Su Hu, and Xun Budao to accompany him for protection.

After a day of rest at the Tianyuan Inn, the group set off for Changbai Mountain in the early morning of the next day.

There was nothing to say all the way, and on October 25, Xun Qin and his entourage successfully entered the boundary of Changbai Mountain.

In the morning, they packed up in the foothills of the town, and then plunged headlong into the mountains.

After entering the mountain, you can no longer catch the horse-drawn carriage, you can only walk. Therefore, Xun Xun ordered Abaolu, Xiao Yang, Su Hu, and Xun to preach in pairs, and took turns to carry the weak Liu Xunyi up the mountain in a bamboo sedan chair.

Xun Qin secretly ordered the four of Abaolu to follow Tang Afu closely whenever and wherever he was, in case he suddenly attacked Liu Xunyi.

Under the guidance of Pan Yuyin, they walked and stopped among the lofty mountains and mountains. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, wandering on the road and turning the peaks back, the mountains and rivers along the way are beautiful, the strange flowers and plants, the warblers in the forest cry swallows, the fish leaps and the kites fly, all of which make people feel refreshed and relaxed.

At first, they could see a lot of woodcutters and hunters in the mountains, but as they walked, they didn't know when there were fewer and fewer people around. In the middle of nowon, they stepped into a smoky wilderness, and the scenery around them gradually became less pleasant than before.

Strange rocks are numerous, the form is hideous, the waterfall is turbulent, and the waves are turbulent. There are no flowers and flowers along the way, and there are no black magpies nesting in the forest, only birds and beasts looming, and apes and cranes are near and far.

The towering giant trees shade the warm autumn light, the damp and muddy mountain forest looks a little eerie against the background of the fog, and the smell of fallen leaves and rot mixed with the earth exudes a pungent and unpleasant smell, especially the lonely and desolate feeling that there is no trace of human population in the eye, which makes people can't help but feel a sense of anxiety and loneliness.

"Miss Pan, how big is Changbai Mountain?"

"Mountains and mountains, water and water, as far as the eye can see, endless. Pan Yuyin recalled, "I heard Huang Yangming's predecessors say that this mountain range stretches for nearly 3,000 miles, with thousands of springs and waterfalls, and more than 100 large and small peaks, and even his old man has not finished walking." ”

"Where is the Tiger's Den Dragon Pool?" asked Xun Qin again.

"There is a heavenly pond in Changbai Mountain with a radius of more than ten miles, and more than ten towering peaks fall around the pool. There is a peak named 'Zixia' on the east side of Tianchi, there is a peak named 'Huagai' in the northwest of Zixia, and the tiger's lair dragon pond is between the twin peaks. ”

"In this way, isn't the Tiger's Den Dragon Pond located in the canyon......"

"Beware of snakes!"

Before Xun Qin finished speaking, Pan Yuyin, who was leading the way in front of his head, suddenly changed his eyes, let out a scream from his mouth, and subconsciously pushed Xun Qin beside him, and jumped to the side at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, a spotted snake swept out of the barren smoke and wild vines with lightning speed, sneaked up on Pan Yuyin and Xun Qin, and spit out the core, turned out its fangs and pounced directly on Abaolu, who was following closely behind the two.

"Ah......h

The snake was extremely fast, catching Abaoru off guard and making it difficult to dodge. Before he could unsheath his knife, the piebald snake had already dug its fangs deep into his calf, and the pain was so severe that he couldn't help but curse.

"Poof!"

"Whew!"

"Click......

It was too late, it was fast, and at the moment when the poisonous snake bit Abaolu, Tang Afu flew up, his sword flashed, blood splashed three steps, and the snake's head was cut off together, and the remaining half of the snake's tail twisted and rolled in the grass.

"Fuck!"

Abaoru endured the pain and pulled the snake's head down from the calf, and when the fangs broke away from the muscles, he pulled out a trace of half-red and half-yellow mucus, which shocked everyone.

"Don't move!"

Tang Afu's eyes changed, his shot was like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he sealed the acupoint on Abaolu's leg, and then raised his sword to stab at his calf.

"You...... What do you want to do?"

"Save your life!"

Before the words fell, the ruthless sword had pierced Abaoru's skin, cutting into about two inches deep, the blade rubbed against the shin and suddenly flipped outward, a stream of red and yellow blood mixed with a rich fishy smell bubbled out in a blur of flesh and blood, and the painful Abaoru's facial features were hideous, and his whole body trembled. The bystanders who looked straight at it were shocked and smacked their tongues again and again.

"Bastard ......"

With Abaoru's screams, the speed of red and yellow blood oozing slowly slowed down, and the color gradually turned red.

Seeing this, Pan Yuyin hurriedly stepped forward to help him clean up the wound, bandage him with medicine, and toss about a stick of incense back and forth, so that Abaolu's life and his leg could be saved.

"Fortunately, this snake is not very venomous, otherwise you will lose a leg if you don't die. Tang Afu picked up the slightly wriggling half of the snake's body, peeled it off with a sword, took out the snake gall, and handed it to Abaolu, who was sweating profusely, "Swallow it." ”

Abaolu and Xun Qin glanced at each other, hesitated for a moment, and then snatched the snake gall bladder, and swallowed it into his stomach, so that the greasy and bitter made his stomach churn and retch.

"We have entered the hinterland of the mountains and forests, and everyone unpacked the medicine bag I prepared in advance and hung it on our waists. From now on, a new capsule should be dismantled every half an hour to prevent the sac from becoming ineffective. After that, Pan Yuyin walked to Liu Xunyi's side, hung the medicine bag around his waist with his own hands, and took out a brocade handkerchief to gently cover Liu Xunyi's mouth and nose, and explained, "Brother Liu, the miasma in the mountains is strong, and ordinary people can resist it with the medicine bag, but your injury has not healed, so you use this handkerchief soaked in medicine to cover your mouth and nose, just in case." ”

"Thank you, Miss Pan......" Liu Xunyi's pale face forced a grateful smile.

"When you climb the mountain in front of you, you must follow me closely, and don't walk around. Pan Yuyin looked solemn and said solemnly, "I heard Huang and Mei say that the realm of the tiger's den and Longtan is a dangerous and unpredictable place, and if you rush in, there will be no return." There is a road that is 'Ten Miles of Ghost Gate Pass, Seven Miles of Huangquan Road, Five Miles of Lichuan River, Three Miles of Nai He Bridge, and One Miles of Wangxiang Terrace'. Within ten miles, the miasma is all over the sky, and if there is no special medicine bag to protect it, it will be faint and suffocated within ten steps. There is not only miasma within the seven miles, but also poisonous insects all over the mountains, if you are bitten by the poisonous insects there, even if you cut off a leg on the spot, you will not be able to save your life. In addition to miasma and poisonous insects within five miles, there are countless traps, which can not only resist the fierce beasts of the mountains and forests, but also prevent uninvited guests. Those traps, jackals, tigers and leopards can die at the touch of a button, and we don't need to say more. The closer to the tiger's lair dragon pond is the greater the danger, especially when entering the three-mile range, swamps all over the place, unfathomable, once you fall into the fall, even if Da Luo Jinxian descends to the earth, you will not be able to return to the sky, so you must not take it lightly. ”

Even Xun Qin, who traveled south and north and was accustomed to wind and waves, couldn't help but feel a little creepy after hearing Pan Yuyin's words.

The ten-mile range is not something that can be rushed through with a grit of teeth and a close of eyes. Along the way, there are miasma poisonous insects and trap swamps, which can exhaust people to death even if they don't scare them to death.

It is no wonder that the Tiger's Den Longtan is known as one of the three forbidden places in the rivers and lakes, and it is indeed not to be underestimated.

"Since it is difficult for ghosts and gods to travel within a radius of ten miles from the Tiger's Den and Longtan, how did Miss Pan and Granny Peach Blossom get in in the first place?" Xiao Yang seemed to be skeptical of Pan Yuyin's 'alarmism'.

"If you want to enter and exit the Tiger's Den Dragon Pond safely and soundly, you must prepare three things. Pan Yuyin said unhurriedly, "First, it is a medicine bag prepared by a secret recipe, which can awaken the mind and dispel miasma. The second is a deeply hidden winding path that not only avoids all the traps and swamps, but also buries a large amount of sulfur stone powder to keep poisonous insects away from nuisance. Third, the owner of the Tiger's Den Dragon Pond needs to pick up and drop off in person. ”

"Pick up and drop off in person?" Abaolu limped his legs and feet, and said suspiciously, "Since we have a medicine bag and know the secret passage, can't we go directly to the Tiger's Den Dragon Pool?"

"Impossible!" Pan Yuyin smiled bitterly, "Because the giant trees within a mile of the Tiger's Den Longtan cover the sky, the dense fog covers the sun, the day is like night, and the midsummer is like winter, although it is not that you can't see your fingers, but the distance visible to your eyes is less than a foot." What's more, anyone there will lose their sense of direction, and no one will be able to get out of that dark forest without the personal guidance of Huang and Mei. If the miasma, poisonous insects, traps, and swamps in front of you can get away with their skills and good luck, the last mile will surely become a nightmare for everyone. To this day, there are still many remnants of bones in the dark forest, some of which are masters who trespassed in, got lost in it, and were trapped alive inside. Some of them were captured by Huang and Mei's predecessors and deliberately thrown inside. ”

"No wonder they dare to tell you the medicine bag and the secret passage, it turns out that they have been precautionary for a long time. Xun Qin thought thoughtfully, and his face showed admiration, "If there is no 'Ecstasy Array' in the last mile, outsiders only need to enter once, and they can easily crack the secret of the Tiger's Den Dragon Pool." In this way, the two predecessors of Huang and Mei can never be as quiet and comfortable as they have been for decades. ”

"You can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people. Pan Yuyin said helplessly, "The Tiger's Den Longtan is the first cave of Changbai Mountain, which gathers the aura of heaven and earth, gives birth to the essence of all things, and picks a flower and plant at any time is a treasure that can be encountered in the outside world but cannot be sought." Especially the 'Burial Dragon Pond' soaked in countless poisonous insects and brewing for millions of years. The big poison is a big tonic, the poison to the extreme but also to the extreme, just scoop out a scoop and put the medicine to warm and blend, you can mix out several large vats of 'holy water', its effect is not inferior to the priceless insecticides herbal wine. Such a paradise, the heaven and the earth, if outsiders are not greedy, who can believe it?"

"It is not only the 'first blessed land in the world', but also the 'first divine doctor in the world', and it is expected that Liu Xunyi's injury will be healed. Xun Qin couldn't deny, "Without further ado, let's hurry up and get on the road!"

"Remember, if you accidentally get separated, don't move, just shout for help, and I will definitely go back to you. ”

"Miss Pan, rest assured, after Abaolu's lesson, I don't expect any of them to dare to be arrogant anymore. ”

With Pan Yuyin's patient advice and Xun Qin's banter and ridicule, the group swept away the fatigue of half a day of mountaineering, gathered their minds one by one, cheered up, and cautiously followed behind Pan Yuyin, walking towards the direction of the tiger's den and dragon pond.
