Dong Wuchen and Xia Zhen walked to the foot of the swaggering mountain, and it was already sunset.

The water of the Liki River pours down from the summit of Zhaoyao Mountain, bubbling and flowing clearly, until it runs to the sea in the southwest.

Xia Zhen felt thirsty, and Senior Brother Wuchen accompanied her to an open stone staircase by the water.

She leaned over and gently picked up a handful of clear and sweet river water and put it into her mouth.

I unintentionally lowered my eyes, but found that not far away on the opposite bank, the green grass is shallow, and the apricot blossoms are piled up with snow, like a garden that is difficult to find in the world.

Xia Zhen stood up slowly, looking across the river, coinciding with a round of red sunset lying on the river, the sky was full of glow, shining half of the river golden red, half of the river jasper.

"Senior Brother Wuchen, I didn't expect that there was a more beautiful scenery in this world than the Tangting Immortal Mountain!" Xia Zhen couldn't help but sigh.

Senior Brother Wuchen didn't respond, thinking to himself, the land of China, mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, the waves are magnificent, and there are countless shocking beauties, and this is just a drop in the ocean.

Seeing that Xia Zhen had no intention of drinking the river water again, he turned around and continued to walk along the stone steps of the valley to the summit.

Xia Zhen was immersed in the beautiful scenery and couldn't help herself, and she hurriedly caught up after Dong Wuchen walked out for a long time.

Senior brother is really cold, in the face of such a beautiful scenery, he is indifferent?

Senior Brother Wuchen has traveled among the vast mountains and seas for many years, and has long been accustomed to the rugged and difficult mountain roads, but he has suffered Xia Zhen who has gone down the mountain for the first time.

Seeing the twilight getting thicker and the mist darkening, the sunset finally couldn't stand the grind of time and slowly fell into the valley. The mountain tops swallow up the last bright afterglow, and the outline of the distant mountains suddenly resembles a dark and ethereal ink, which is exquisite.

When the two arrived at a valley and high ground, Xia Zhen was already tired and her legs were weak, and she was panting slightly, but she still relied on her tenacity to follow Senior Brother Wuchen closely.

Dong Wuchen sensed Xia Zhen's slight gasp and turned around.

"Senior Sister Zhen'er, there is a secret cave not far ahead, let's rest in this mountain tonight. ”

Xia Zhen immediately thought of a deep and dark, windy, and strange stone cave, and suddenly felt a little nostalgic for the small room in the Immortal Mountain where she had only slept one night.

But it was already dark in front of him, and the mountain road was so difficult and dangerous, so he had to do this, so he responded softly.

The stone steps in front of them twisted and turned, and the two of them climbed over a ridge, and the scene in front of them made Xia Hao stunned.

I saw that on the gently undulating hillside, there were several huge trees growing up to more than ten meters high, and the branches seemed to be hung with countless "fairy lanterns", emitting a bright white and warm brilliance, illuminating the surrounding areas of the hillside as bright as day.

Xia Zhen walked quickly to the front, only to find that those "fairy lanterns" were actually integrated with the body of the tree, closely connected to the stretched branches and leaves.

"Senior Brother Wuchen, this is ......" Xia Zhen glanced at Dong Wuchen, then turned back to stare at the "fairy lantern" in front of him, thoughtful.

"Oh, I know, this is the legendary Zhaoyao Mountain Maze Tree, I have long heard Senior Sister Chunli say, this kind of tree grows tall, the branches are luxuriant, the body of the tree has a black texture, the huge flowers will emit bright light, you won't get lost if you wear it on your body, today I finally saw the Maze Tree Flower with my own eyes, it's really magical!"

Senior Brother Wuchen suddenly leapt into the air, picked two flowers from the Misty Tree, and handed one of them to Xia Zhen.

"Senior Sister Zhen'er, with it, you don't have to be afraid of the dark stone cave!"

I didn't expect Senior Brother Wuchen to be such a careful person, and I guessed that she would be afraid of the dark.

Xia Hao was guessed by someone, but she didn't want to admit it: "Senior Brother Wuchen, who said that I was afraid of the darkness of the stone cave?"

The corners of Dong Wuchen's mouth were slightly raised, and he smiled without saying a word.

Xia Zhen followed Dong Wuchen into the stone cave, and the dark cave was as bright as morning in an instant under the light of the misty flowers.

The stone cave in front of you is not as strange as you imagined, it is cramped and narrow, but it is like a secret garden with a small mouth and a wide cavity, and there is a square stone bed about one zhang wide on the ground of the stone room, and there are animal skins of unknown species on it.

Xia Zhen was overjoyed, and quickly put the misty flower in her hand on the edge of the stone bed, and gently stroked the animal skin with her hand, the animal skin was as white as snow, soft and smooth.

"Senior Brother Wuchen, how did you find such a good stone cave, and what kind of beast fur is on this stone bed?"

That night, Dong Wuchen rushed to the foot of Tangting Mountain to save Xia Zhen, and after returning to Xianshan with his master Qin Miao Immortal, not only was he not punished, but he was allowed to travel down the mountain early by making an exception. For many years, he was the only one among his disciples who dared to go down the mountain alone before the age of fourteen.

Dong Wuchen traveled all over the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, and knew the situation around Tangting Mountain well, this stone cave was accidentally discovered when he traveled, and he also used immortal magic to open up a stone bed and put it in the hole, and put the fur of the white wolf demon on it, which was convenient to be a resting place.

After the retreat of the demon king Baizong that day, although he did not see any movement in the spirit seeking needle for a long time, he was still on guard every day, and sent the white wolf demon pawn to the immortal mountains from time to time to inquire about information, so that one day when the Nuwa Holy Spirit was reincarnated again, her traces could be discovered as soon as possible.

Every time Dong Wuchen went down the mountain, he brought two instructions from his master Qin Miao Immortal, one was to eradicate the sneaky and suspicious white wolf demon in time, and the other was to find the next generation of the master of the Chengying Sword.

Qin Miao Immortal had a hunch that the destined master of the Chengying Sword had a deep fate with the Tangting Immortal Mountain, and he would definitely appear by chance and be brought back to the Immortal Mountain.

Qin Miao Immortal hopes that Dong Wuchen can find the destined person, but he is a little afraid of the appearance of the destined person......

But these can't be said to Xia Zhen by winter Wuchen. Faced with many questions from Senior Sister Zhen'er, he had no choice but to say coldly: "Zhen'er sleep, tomorrow morning, I have to set off on my way." ”

Xia Zhen had no choice but to keep silent, but then she made a mistake, there was only one stone bed here, who was going to lie on the stone bed to rest between her and Senior Brother Wuchen?

Dong Wuchen seemed to see Xia Zhen's doubts, and said calmly: "Senior sister, although she is resting on the stone bed, I will go back as soon as I go." As he spoke, he placed the misty flower in his hand on the wall of the cave and turned to walk towards the cave exit.

Xia Zhen wanted to stop Senior Brother Wuchen and ask him where he was going, and if he could go out with him, but he was worried that he would think that he was too timid to be alone in the stone cave, so he let him go.

She climbed onto the stone bed and lay on the soft animal skin, and a unique fragrance of the dustless senior brother penetrated into her heart, making people feel more down-to-earth and at ease. She followed Brother Wuchen closely for a day, and this fragrance also changed from strange to extremely familiar.

Senior Brother Wuchen also rested on this stone bed? She didn't dare to think about it anymore, closed her eyes gently, and slowly fell into a sweet dream.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly, boom, there was a shocking thunder outside the cave, which woke Xia Hao from her sleep.

For as long as she can remember, Xia Zhen has been very afraid of thunder. Whenever there is a thunderstorm, she can't help but stare intently at the direction where the lightning and thunder are coming from, nervous, worried that the sky will be split by thunder and fire at any time......

At that time, Senior Sister Chunli would take out the dried flower powder of Jiarong grass that had been prepared long ago, wash it with warm water, and let Xia Zhen take it.

According to my senior sister, this kind of Jiarong grass grows in the half-stone mountain thousands of miles away from Tangting Mountain, and they like to grow on the cliffs, which is very difficult to pick. And because the soil of the cliff wall is light and barren, the Jiarong grass just grows out and spits ears and flowers, the leaves are red, the flowers are also red, the whole fairy grass is more than one zhang high, and it is particularly conspicuous in the green of the mountain. When a person eats the flowers of the Jiarong grass, he will no longer be afraid of lightning and thunder.

Thinking of this, Xia Zhen hurriedly rummaged through her carry-on luggage, but found that she had forgotten to bring Jiarong grass dried flower powder because she was in too much of a hurry.

The thunder outside the cave became louder and louder, and the instantaneous light emitted by the lightning became brighter and brighter, as if the thunder and fire were gradually approaching this secret cave.

"Where did Senior Brother Wuchen go?" Xia Hao was so frightened that she curled up on the stone bed hide, her hands tightly holding the Birth Spirit Stone given by the Qin Miao Immortal, but her eyes couldn't bear to leave the direction of the cave entrance......
