Xie Yixiang in the lake was suddenly startled, and he didn't expect that there were still people in this cave. She has been in the Western Regions for a while, and the northern vein of the Tianshan Mountain is located in the territory of Beishu Bali. Who knew that when he looked for prestige, he saw that in the cave clearing by the lake, it was clear that a Han boy in a shabby cotton suit was staring at himself in the lake with a frightened face.

For a while, Xie Yixiang was pleasantly surprised, seeing that this young man was about twenty years old, with a round face and big eyes, a high nose and a wide mouth, his appearance was very ordinary, and he didn't know why he appeared here. She hurriedly clasped her fists in the lake and smiled at the young man: "Little girl Xie Yixiang, you don't know what your Excellency calls it?" The young man was still full of horror, and suddenly shouted loudly: "I know, you are a water ghost in this lake......!" Because I eat fish from the lake every day, you're here to get revenge on me?"

Xie Yixiang was slightly stunned, and said in her heart: "Could it be that this person is a fool?" She immediately swam to the lake where the young man was, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm not a water ghost, and I won't hurt you." When the young man saw her coming, he hurriedly waved his hands and exclaimed, "You...... Don't come here!", he said, turning his head and running backwards.

Xie Yixiang found that just behind the young man, there was a large bonfire burning under the stone wall of the cave, with bedding and pillows, pots and pans next to the bonfire, and even more than a dozen books, which was obviously a simple residence. The young man ran to the campfire, picked up a burning branch, and shouted to Xie Yixiang in the lake, "You...... Do you see, I've got fire here......! If you dare to come here again, I will burn you with fire!"

Xie Yixiang had swam to the lake at this time, stepped on the shallows by the lake, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but smile and said: "I am indeed a human being, not a water ghost, and naturally I am not afraid of fire." If you don't believe me, let me bake my clothes by the campfire and see if I'm afraid of the fire. The boy still didn't believe it, but shook his head vigorously. Xie Yixiang saw that he was gentle and his demeanor was hairy, obviously he didn't know martial arts, and he didn't take him to heart, so he strode towards the bonfire.

As soon as she took a step, she found that she was covered with aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake, and she thought that she had hung on her body when she had just climbed the deep hole at the bottom of the lake. She hurriedly pulled off the aquatic plants on her body, and then found that she also had a lot on her head, so she hurriedly cleaned it up, and said secretly in her heart: "No wonder this young man wants to say that I am a water ghost, a person covered in aquatic plants suddenly came out of the lake, and his appearance is naturally a little terrifying." If it were me, I'm afraid I'd be scared. ”

Sure enough, when the young man saw Xie Yixiang remove the aquatic plants on his body, the horror on his face gradually calmed down, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "You...... You're a girl, aren't you really a water ghost in the lake? But ...... But how did you come out of the lake?" Xie Yixiang was still full of questions, but she was constantly interrogated by this young man, so she came to the bonfire to bake the soaked clothes on her body, and then turned against the guest and asked: "You haven't answered my question yet, who are you? Why are you here? Where is this?"

The young man saw that Xie Yixiang by the bonfire was only a few feet away from him, and she was clearly a handsome little girl, and her clothes were soaked, all of which were attached to her body, setting off her graceful posture, and suddenly had a strange feeling. Hearing Xie Yixiang ask, the young man's face was already flushed, and he felt that his mouth was dry, and he muttered, "You...... I...... I don't know who you are...... I don't know you, so ...... So can't answer your question. ”

Xie Yixiang couldn't help but laugh dumbly, after talking about these few words, she had already seen that although this young man was in his twenties, his mind was clearly a teenager, and he was the so-called fool in the world. Since she bumped into such a fool, she could only come up with a way to coax the child, and said with a smile: "Didn't I already tell you? My name is Xie Yixiang, and I am from Jinling City in the Central Plains...... and she briefly told her the experience along the way.

The young man didn't seem to pay attention to Xie Yixiang's words, but just looked at Xie Yixiang blankly. It wasn't until Xie Yixiang finished speaking that he suddenly came back to his senses, widened his eyes and asked, "Are you saying that there is a passage under this lake that can be connected to the outside......?" How is this possible, I've lived here for more than ten years, how come I don't know anything about it?"

Xie Yixiang was slightly startled, and blurted out, "You have lived here for ten years?" Xie Yixiang asked, "Then who are you, and why do you live in the cave of this 'Suli Tang Peak'?" The young man asked rhetorically: "What is the 'Su Li Tang Peak'? Is it the name of this mountain? I have lived here alone since I was very young, and I don't know what the name of this mountain is." ”

Xie Yixiang sighed secretly, and had to ask patiently, "Then what is your name?" The young man replied, "My name is Zhao Xiaoling." Xie Yixiang couldn't help frowning and pondering, but she couldn't think of the origin of the name "Zhao Xiaoling", and asked, "Then why do you live here alone?"

Hearing this question, the young man who called himself Zhao Xiaoling was suddenly a little confused, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "Because I can't go outside, people outside will try their best to harm me...... I remember when I was very young, I was herding cattle in the mountains every day, and one day a lot of people suddenly came and took me away in a daze, and later tried to kill me. Fortunately, my uncle rescued me and brought me to live here. Only by living here, those who want to harm me can't find me. Xie Yixiang heard it in a fog, and couldn't help asking, "Who is the uncle?"

Zhao Xiaoling thought for a long time, shook his head and said, "I don't know, it seems to be called black...... No, it looks like it's wearing black clothes. Xie Yixiang muttered, "Black...... Black ......" then blurted out: "Mo, is it the Mo family of Tianshan?" Zhao Xiaoling scratched his head, and suddenly said: "Exactly, exactly, it is the Mo family! You also know the uncle of the Mo family?"

Xie Yixiang's heart was already bright, and the Zhao Xiaoling in front of him was clearly imprisoned here by the Tianshan Mo family, and he had been imprisoned for more than ten years. I think that when Zhao Xiaoling was imprisoned, he was only a teenager, and he lived here alone for more than ten years, and no one talked to him, let alone taught him, so his mind would stagnate, and he was not at the age he should be. Looking at the simple bedding pots and pans beside the bonfire, Xie Yixiang couldn't help but feel pity, just ask such an ordinary young man, how could anyone want to harm him, and how could he be imprisoned here by the Tianshan Mo family?

Seeing that Xie Yixiang didn't speak, Zhao Xiaoling stretched out his hand and pointed to the stone wall on the other side of the cave, and said, "Every two months, my uncle will send someone to see me, and he will also send a lot of things, food and clothing." By the way, they also gave me these books, but I don't understand them very well. Xie Yixiang looked in the direction he pointed, and saw that there was indeed a square stone gate on the mountain wall next to him, and he was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly went over to check, but saw that the entire stone gate was embedded in the mountain wall, and it couldn't be opened. Zhao Xiaoling chased after him all the way and said, "This door can't be opened from the inside, it can only be opened from the outside." ”

Xie Yixiang thought in her heart, it seems that this place is not simple, except for Zhao Xiaoling in front of him, there are clearly people from the Mo family living here, and I don't know what kind of secrets are hidden in this "Suli Tang Peak". She thought about the whole thing from beginning to end, and then combined with Ning Cui's intention, she suddenly raised her eyebrows, pulled out her waist with a "swish", pointed at Zhao Xiaoling obliquely, and sneered: "Your play is good, but it's a pity that you can't fool me!
