The mountains on the outskirts of the border city are scorching in the sun, and even the temperature of the stones makes people dare not touch them easily. The trail winds up a mountain, and two black dots are moving on the mountainside.

Mu Xiao's tanned red face was sweating wantonly, and his skin turned like a ** feeling under the blazing sun. At this time, looking back on the mountainside, the long path loomed under the weeds, and I found that I had walked a long way with Qi Nian on my back. Doubles were lifted up with force, and an exclamation came from behind: "Ah, light, my feet hurt." ”

Since applying the medicine to Qi Nian, Mu Xiao has never been able to escape from her palm. Nearly half of the medicine that Old Man Zhai gave himself had been taken away by her even crying, but fortunately, the most inconspicuous bottles and cans were disgusted by her, because there was no logo on them, so she didn't know that the real best was in those bottles.

"No way, my medicine has a pain-relieving effect, I've used it myself before, don't fool me!" Mu Xiao replied unhappily.

Carrying her here from the edge of the abyss, her body was still drenched in sweat under the hot sun. If she hadn't hurt her heel, maybe he would have left her alone and fled. At this time, she had to carry her on the ruined temple near the top of the mountain, just seeing that there was still a long way to go, Mu Xiao was tired to think about.

Qi Nian was a little gloating behind her back, but she never showed it. Her voice was in stark contrast to the scorching weather: "Speaking of your medicine, those bottles and cans seem to be things that only exist in Qingyang DìDū, have you ever been to DìDū?" Qi Nian thought for a moment, his eyes looked at Mu Xiao's side face with some disdain: "I think you stole it somewhere, right? You don't look like someone who has been to DìDū." ”

Mu Xiao suppressed the anger in his heart and the urge to throw her to the ground, grabbed her popliteal socket with both hands and said, "What kind of person am I?"

Mu Xiao stepped up, carrying a somewhat heavy Qi Nian on his back, which seemed a little difficult, the important thing was not to touch her body too much, at this time there was a thick grass mat behind him, which was as uncomfortable as putting on a saddle.

didn't hear Qi Nian's answer, Mu Xiao's footsteps stopped again, swept his head sideways, and clearly saw Qi Nian wearing a sunhat roughly woven of grass on her head, she was quite cool and comfortable. When she saw Mu Xiao turn around, her originally disdainful face immediately turned into a stiff smile: "Let's go, hold on for a while!"

"You say first, what are the people who have been to DìDū like, and what is it like if I haven't been?" For DìDū, Mu Xiao is now more and more interested, and he suddenly has some longing.

Qi Nian pouted like a girl, in fact, she was a woman in her twenties, but her delicate face concealed her real age. Holding the straw hat on his head, Qi Nian pondered for a moment and said: "People who have been to DìDū will dress themselves up more pleasing to the eye, and you, obviously not a soldier, are still wearing a military uniform, and it is also a military uniform of Youlong, no wonder they will lock you in the ghost gate." ”

Trample!

Mu Xiao ignored her, put her body on her back a little more, continued to crawl forward, and muttered: "Forget it, the answer is not what you asked." ”

"Isn't that what I'm telling you? If you want to say what you look like now, well! "Qi Nian pretended to be mysterious.

Mu Xiao was overjoyed in his heart, but he wanted to hear what good words this woman could say: "Which two words?"

"Turtle!"

Poof

"Ahh

Qi Nian's words just came out

mouth, Mu Xiao stepped on the round stone on the side of the road carelessly, and fell to the ground at once, Qi Nian screamed behind him, and the whole person pressed on his head. Mu Xiao fell into a dog-gnawing mud posture, but fortunately, what landed on his face was a bush, except for a hint of heat, it didn't seem to hurt the root, but his neck seemed to be pressed by a heavy object.

"You, you get up first, you want to crush me!" Mu Xiao's deep voice came to the grassroots.

Qi Nian, who originally injured her heel, actually got up and walked to the side in a panic, although it was only a little lame, it didn't seem to affect her walking, and it didn't reach the point where she had to carry it. Mu Xiao sat on the road all of a sudden, panting and snorting weeds in his mouth.

"Do you want to fall to my death, so that it is easy to walk alone?" Qi Nian's face was stunned, staring at Mu Xiao deadly, not caring whether Mu Xiao had fallen and injured himself at all.

Mu Xiao didn't speak, just glanced at her expressionlessly, his neck clicked when he turned his head, he looked up at the mountain, there was a staircase of about two zhang to reach the broken temple, Mu Xiao got up and looked at Qi Nian, who was glaring at him coldly, and said, "Don't look at me like this, now I will carry you to the temple, you should return the token to me, right?"

Although that token doesn't have much effect on Mu Xiao now, it can be used in the future. Besides, this token has been incredible for three years, which shows the status of its owner. You must not let Qi Nian take it away, if you take the token to do something, then you will be in trouble if you get into trouble for no reason.

"Who said I'll return your token when I get to the temple? Qi Nian was a little unreasonable.

Mu Xiao was frantic for a while, and kicked his right foot into the grass fiercely, but the damn weeds didn't know when they grew around a stone, this kick made Mu Xiao retract his foot in pain, and the pain in his toes was indescribable. sat down, and the hand that was about to take off his shoes suddenly stopped, and subconsciously looked up at Qi Nian. Mu Xiao patted his ass again and stood up, pinning himself in front of her and walking towards the stone steps of the temple.

Qi Nian frowned, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he muttered: "If you don't carry it, you won't carry it, as for self-harm?" The next moment, his voice suddenly raised: "You wait for me, the temple is very dangerous." ”

Looking at Mu Xiao, who was halfway up the stone steps, Qi Nian became a little nervous. This temple is the place where I was involved in the stone cave that day, and this time I came to find out. According to ancient records, this was originally an ancient formation, but the mystery was hidden around this ruined temple.

"Is there anything more dangerous than you?" Mu Xiao did not look back, but continued to walk the stone steps. When he walked to the gate of the temple, he exhaled deeply, and most of the border cities appeared in his eyes.

Mu Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't know how Yi Ling and Qi Nian would be doing now, I hope they can all be safe. Looking up at the locust tree that blocked the sun, Mu Xiao looked around again and found that there were stones everywhere around, and there were no big trees, but the locust tree in front of him was rooted in the rocks and grew against the trend.

Yes, the root of this locust tree is a stone, and the root of the tree is like a human vein wrapped around the stone, and the stone below is more like a huge heart.

"You're away from that"

At this time, Qi Nian climbed the last stone step and sat sideways on it, but the next moment the hot stone made him have to stand up and walk to where Mu Xiao was. He looked at Mu Xiao with a very solemn face: "I entered the stone cave from here a few days ago, if I hadn't read the books of the ghost gate before, I wouldn't know where I was." ”

"Who believes such a bad story!" Mu Xiao replied with a grin, but his eyes kept staring at the heart-like stone under the locust tree. A new scar on the root of the tree caught his attention.

"Have you really been here?" Mu Xiao looked back at Qi Nian behind him, his face was still skeptical, although there were traces of someone scratching the root of this tree, it wasn't necessarily her, after all, it didn't look like a forbidden place here, anyone could come up.

"You certainly didn't make it. Looking at the loose soil on the side of the stone, there were still large footprints, which were obviously not Qi Nian's footprints.

Qi Nian leaned over and looked at the roots of the tree, then looked at the footprints on the ground and said, "It's true that I didn't get it, but I did get in from here a few days ago." Qi Nian looked at the somewhat crooked footprints seriously and continued: "The person who has been here should be a cripple, could it be that he was caught up in the formation?"

Listening to Qi Nian's words, Mu Xiao looked at her with interest, thinking that if this woman was a little more normal like now, she would be a rare beauty, just like the so-called murder that destroys everything.

"Why do you want to die?" Seeing Mu Xiao looking at himself stunned, Qi Nian shouted coldly.

Mu Xiao was stunned and retracted his gaze to look at the deep and shallow footprints on the ground and asked, "How do you know that someone who has been here is a lame man?"

"Say that you have a bad brain so that you still don't believe it, look at this footprint, one deep and one shallow, and one side is obviously draining earth, if you walk normally, it is definitely a lame person to get out of this, and the other possibility is that someone did it on purpose. Qi Nian said and continued to circle back and forth at the entrance of the temple.

Mu Xiao was also curious, and followed behind and watched. Suddenly found that as Qi Nian said, the footprints of the lame man were indeed deep and shallow, didn't there happen to be a lame man in front of him?

Qi Nian Yu Guang swept back and found that Mu Xiao had been following him, and he was still looking carefully at the place he had walked. Looking at his footprints, and then remembering what he said just now, Qi Nian suddenly became angry, and suddenly blasted at Mu Xiao with a palm.

Mu Xiao was unprepared and was blasted out of a few meters away by a palm, although it did not hurt his body, but it made him depressed. Stepping on the ground with his feet back and falling steadily, he was about to scold, but the locust tree behind him shook without wind.

The stone at the root actually showed a faint rune, as if there were ancient words circulating on the surface, and after retreating a few meters in a panic, he looked at the stone pressed under the locust tree in disbelief. At this time, Qi Nian's face became solemn, and she regretted giving Mu Xiao this slap a little.

"Stay away from it. Qi Nian was a little anxious, and saw Mu Xiao still looking at the stone in a daze. She endured the faint pain in her heels, limped over, grabbed Mu Xiao's arm and pulled him over.

"What's wrong?" Mu Xiao's eyes flashed, as if he had just returned from another world.

"You, what happened just now?" Seeing Mu Xiao's confused face, Qi Nian Zheng asked coldly.

Mu Xiao couldn't tell what it felt, as if there was a kind of Dongsi attracting him, or confusing him. Looking at the stone is like seeing another world, it is a very magical world, as if it is a world that can be controlled by oneself.

"I don't know! That stone seems to have been enchanted. Mu Xiao's voice was not loud, and his face was full of incredulity.

Qi Nian stood behind him, staring at the stone under the locust tree and thinking quietly, and suddenly showed an incomprehensible smile, Mu Xiao actually felt that this was the moment when he met her and looked most like a woman.
