After two hours of climbing the mountain and crossing the water, walking on the edge of the abyss, Pan Yuyin and his entourage either wandered in the miasma mist, or marched on the bank of poisonous vines and thorns, or staggered on the mud and black water, or shuttled between tigers, leopards and jackals......

The road is barren and desolate, the mountains and rivers are rough, rugged and bumpy, not to mention, the danger is the most deadly

The closer you get to the Tiger's Den Dragon Pond, the more eerie the surrounding scene becomes, with thousand-year-old trees towering into the sky, and huge vines almost the thickness of a human leg crisscrossing each other, like a huge net entangled in this mountain forest. Animal carcasses and wriggling poisonous insects gnawing at the "leftovers" in the bones are everywhere, densely packed, and unscrupulously coming and going in the damp and muddy wilderness. The rotting and moldy vegetation emits the strange smell of sour suffering, and the perfect blend of desolation and natural desolation makes people's hairs stand upside down and their scalps tingle.

This trip is not only a great drain on physical strength, but also an almost devastating torment for the spirit. Rao is Xun Qin and his entourage are all martial arts practitioners, and their physique is far stronger than the weak Pan Yuyin, but they are more embarrassed than Pan Yuyin, not only panting, sweating like rain, but also frightened and panicked.

At dusk, the trembling Xun Qin and his entourage finally passed through the miasma, poisonous insects, traps, and swamps, and successfully stepped into the realm of Longtan, the tiger's den, which was also the dark forest that made Pan Yuyin's talk change.

As Pan Yuyin said, the environment here is deep and quiet, dark and depressing, cold and bleak.

Being in it is like being in a vast eighteen layers of hell, unable to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, and unable to distinguish between the front and the back, the left and the right.

As far as the eye could see, there was a dark chaos, as if countless monsters were staring at themselves in the abyss. However, when I looked closely, I found that the scene was almost exactly the same in all directions, all of which were empty and empty.

The ears heard it were like the souls from the depths of the underworld whispering and crying, and it was like the ten thousand ghosts who were tortured in the sword mountain and the sea of fire singing in unison. Suddenly near and far, looming, sometimes deafening, sometimes silent.

The eerie atmosphere gives rise to bizarre thoughts. For a time, loneliness, fear, confusion, and despair...... It seems that all the negative and gloomy feelings in the world have emerged one by one, and they are irrepressibly filled in everyone's hearts, making people feel terrified and sad for no reason.

"What a powerful illusion!" Xun Qin asked Pan Yuyin while stabilizing his mind, "This place is smoky, barren and terrifying. Miss Pan once went in and out alone, could it be ...... Aren't you afraid?"

"To tell you the truth, I once asked Huang and Mei the same question to the two seniors, do you know how they answered?"

"I want to hear about it. ”

"They say it's not scary, it's very comfortable. ”

"Comfort?" Abaoru was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looked around, and pouted, "If you are not careful, you will die, this is also comfort?"

"Yes, because there are few people here, and there is no fame or fortune. Pan Yuyin explained, "The two seniors believed that the most terrible thing in the world is not poisonous miasma, nor is it dark and desolate, but the human heart full of selfishness, greed and endless desire. There is no deceit, intrigue here, neither bending to greet or look at people's faces, they live here unrestrained, do whatever they want, and are naturally happy and comfortable. ”

"It is worthy of being a 'double residence immortal', and the realm is really different. Xun Qin was full of emotion, and then raised his eyes to look at it, and said, "Miss Pan, where do we go next?"

"This ......" Pan Yuyin was stunned and said embarrassedly, "Wait!"

"Wait?" Xun Qin looked stunned, "Who are you waiting for?"

"Wait for senior Huang Yangming or senior Mei Zichuan to pick us up. Pan Yuyin replied, "Although the Tiger's Den Dragon Pond is close at hand, this dense forest is intricate and full of mechanisms, if they don't guide the way...... We can't get out at all. ”

Tang Afu frowned, and said suspiciously: "If they don't show up for ten days and a half months, won't we starve to death?"

"No, it won't!"

Pan Yuyin took out a Tao Xun from the baggage, and held it in the palm of his hand in the curious and expectant eyes of everyone, and then the apricot eyes were deep and the peach cheeks were frivolous. Suddenly, a simple and vigorous, mournful and melodious tune quietly emerged, such as crying, complaining, resenting, drifting with the wind in this isolated barren forest.

Xun bends like the wind, quietly sneaking into the heart, so that the complex mood that fluctuates like ripples gradually calms down.

It bends like water, reaching the soul bit by bit, so that the greed, hatred, and delusion that are as restless as fire are slowly annihilated.

A song of vicissitudes of life breaks the liver and intestines, making people abandon all selfish distractions in a trance, sorrow and fear, and gradually return to the basics, finding a trace of long-lost tranquility in the dangerous tiger's den Longtan.

Everyone was like hearing the sound of heaven, and they were fascinated for a while, and their imaginations were fluttering. Until the end of Xunqu, they were still immersed in it and couldn't extricate themselves for a long time.

Even Liu Xunyi, who was mentally exhausted and asleep, seemed to be deeply moved by Pan Yuyin's song, and two lines of tears couldn't help but flow from the corners of his eyes.

"Miss Pan is beautiful and wise, and she is both talented and beautiful. ”

Hearing Xun Qin's praise, Pan Yuyin couldn't help but blush, and said humbly: "Thanks to Miss Xun Qin's false praise, the little woman is ugly." ”

"Where ......"

"Yuyin girl, are you back?"

Before Xun Qin could answer, a cold and old voice suddenly came from the depths of the dense forest. Immediately afterwards, a slightly rickety figure came from far and near, strolling leisurely on crutches. 80

"Mei-senpai!"

As soon as she saw Mei Zichuan, Pan Yuyin was overjoyed, and walked forward quickly, shouting and asking for warmth: "Senior Mei and Senior Huang have been in good health recently, how is Bao'er, Master, and her old man......"

"Okay, okay, we're all right. Facing the kind and enthusiastic Pan Yuyin, Mei Zichuan changed her previous seriousness, and a rare smile rose at the corner of her mouth, "During your absence, Bao'er has been crying and screaming for you, and your master is even more worried about the difficulty of sleeping." Girl, don't look at the jacaranda not smiling in front of you, in fact, she loves you very much. In your absence, she told me more than once that she regretted not letting you go alone. ”

"Master......" Pan Yuyin was both moved and ashamed, and couldn't help but reddened her eyes, "It's me who is not good, I should have come back earlier, and the old man in the province is worried about me." ”

"Hey, you don't need to talk about the past, your safe return is more important than anything else. ”

"What Mei's predecessors said is extremely true. ”

"Let's go, let's go back ......"

I don't know if Mei Zichuan was old and dizzy, and she didn't see Xun Qin and the others, or if she deliberately pretended to be confused? At this time, she held Pan Yuyin's wrist tightly and wanted to turn around as if nothing happened.

"Senior, slow!" Pan Yuyin, who was shocked, hurriedly dissuaded, "There are still a few friends of mine here." ”

"Friends?"

Mei Zichuan frowned, looked at Xun Qin and the others with a scrutinizing gaze, and asked in an unkind tone, "Who are you?" Why did you come to my Tiger's Den Dragon Pool?"

"Little girl Xun Qin, I've seen Senior Mei!" Facing Mei Zichuan with a cold and arrogant attitude, Xun Qin bowed to her without humility or arrogance, and did not forget to introduce others while reporting to her home, "They are Abaolu, Xiao Yang, Su Hu, and Xun Pudao, who came with me." The latter one is the 'ruthless swordsman' Tang Afu, who came here to visit Granny Peach Blossom on the order of the Lord of the Desperate Valley. The person sitting on the bamboo sedan chair is ......"

"Is that person Liu Xunyi from the Xianwang Mansion?" Mei Zichuan interrupted, "The old man remembers that this son is thriving in the rivers and lakes, how did he become so virtuous today?"

Knowing that Mei Zichuan asked knowingly, he implied ridicule to Liu Xunyi, but Xun Qin couldn't help but laugh but didn't break it, and replied with a pretentious voice: "Predecessor has good eyesight, this person is Liu Xunyi." As the saying goes, 'People have good fortune and bad luck, and the moon has clouds and sunny days'. In the first two years, he was indeed in full swing in the Central Plains martial arts, but it was a pity that he was young and vigorous, and he made too many enemies. Not only is there no fame and fortune, but he is also seriously injured, fearing that the future will be precarious. ”

"Tut-tut!" Mei Zichuan's tone seemed pitiful and mocking, and he said with something in his words, "I really responded to the sentence 'feng shui takes turns', isn't it that I have done too many things that hurt nature and reason, and now I am being punished?"

Seeing Mei Zichuan sneering at the frustrated Liu Xunyi, Pan Yuyin's heart was mixed, and he hurriedly said: "Senior Mei, Brother Liu is not what you think, and Uncle Luo's death is not his fault......

"Girl, Liu Xunyi has lost his position and is notorious, but you are still protecting him with all your heart? It seems that your master is right, you are ...... to Liu Xunyi It's so deep and dizzy. ”

As soon as these words came out, Pan Yuyin's cheeks turned red, and he said angrily: "Senior Mei wants to make fun of me, and I have no personal relationship with Brother Liu......"

"Since you have no personal relationship with him, you don't have to care about his life or death. Mei Zichuan looked furious, and then issued an eviction order to Xun Qin and a few people, "Tiger's Den Longtan is not an idle place, no outsiders can enter if they want to, and they can go out if they want to." Therefore, go back and forth from where you come from, and do not ask for trouble. ”

After saying that, Mei Zichuan forcefully dragged Pan Yuyin, who was trying to defend himself, and turned to leave.

"Seniors are slow!" Looking at Mei Zichuan, who was bent on going his own way, Xun Qin was anxious, and said loudly, "We don't want to disturb our predecessors Qingxiu, because Liu Xunyi is seriously injured and difficult to treat, we are really helpless, so we can only come to the tiger's den Longtan to ask Granny Peach Blossom to help." As long as Liu Xunyi is healed, we will leave immediately......"

"Jacaranda won't save him. Before Xun finished speaking, Mei Zichuan had categorically refused, "She disdains the fight in the rivers and lakes the most in her life, and she hates fighting and killing." Liu Xunyi's injuries were caused by fighting with people, and this kind of person will definitely not be saved, because saving him will mean more fighting and death. ”

"Senior Mei, Master and Brother Liu know each other, maybe they will open up a ......"

"Who doesn't know the number one miracle doctor in the world? There are so many people who know the jacaranda, and most of them are from the rivers and lakes, how many have you seen her rescue?" Mei Zichuan said unhappily, "Girl, in vain, your master is afraid of you, how can you make trouble for her as soon as you come back?"

"I ......"

"Needless to say, go back with me!"

"Wait!" Seeing that Mei Zichuan was arbitrary and unreasonable, Xun Qin had no choice but to put his heart sideways, and said righteously, "Granny Peach Blossom is willing to save Liu Xunyi, that is her old man's business, and it should not be advocated by her predecessors." We're here to save lives, not to do wrong. If Granny Peach Blossom is not in the Tiger's Den Longtan, we will never bother. ”

Hearing this, Mei Zichuan paused, and under Pan Yuyin's panicked gaze, he asked without looking back: "What do you say...... What does it mean? Could it be that the old man deliberately blocked the jacaranda from treating Liu Xunyi's injuries?"

"The juniors don't dare!" Xun Qin's face was fearless, and every word was fine, "I just hope that Liu Xunyi's life and death will be decided by Granny Peach Blossom, not ...... Others. Therefore, the juniors had the courage to beg the seniors to either let us enter the tiger's den Longtan and discuss with Granny Peach Blossom in person. Either...... Send Granny Peach Blossom out of Changbai Mountain and find another place with us. ”

Just this one word made Mei Zichuan angry from the heart, and evil was born to the guts. She turned around suddenly, and her two sharp gazes shot straight at Xun Qin, who was solemn like a sword.

"Anyone who dares to threaten the old body in the tiger's den dragon pool, you are the first. ”
