Xiang Zhuang looked at Hu Ling'er with gratitude, and just happened to meet Hu Ling'er and looked at Xiang Zhuang, looking at each other, only for that moment, Xiang Zhuang's heart jumped up again, and Hu Ling'er lowered his head shyly.

"I'm sorry, Xiang Zhuang will say goodbye, I hate to see each other late, and I'll come back to ask for advice on another day!" Xiang Zhuang said as he raised his hand.

Hu Linger reluctantly sent Xiang Zhuang out of the manor, and saw Xiang Zhuang's handsome back disappear in front of him; looking at Xiang Zhuang's distant back, Hu Linger couldn't believe it, how could a thousand years of practice not control the ripples in his heart.

Xiang Zhuang held back his heartbeat, only felt that the whole person was dizzy, only knew that he was walking forward quickly, and Hu Ling'er's flower and moon appearance always appeared in his mind, lingering, until a cold wind blew on his face, although it was summer, but he still felt cold; when he looked up, he found that he had reached the foot of Buxian Mountain, the river was gurgling to the west, the mountain was lush, the mountain was steep, the strange rocks were craggy, and the flowers in the middle of the mountain were delicate and gorgeous, dazzling, trembling, fluttering, like a fairy descending to earth, he had never seen such a brilliant flower, but he couldn't name it, it must be a rare and precious flower; Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but walk towards the flower, only walked a few steps, found that the road on the mountain was getting narrower and narrower, so he had to draw his short sword, cut off the thorns on both sides, and walked towards the flower step by step.

After walking for a while, the flower was still far away, when the child's cry sounded in my ears. Xiang Zhuang only felt very puzzled, how could there be a child's cry in this barren mountain and wild mountains, looking for prestige, couldn't help but be terrified, it turned out to be the sound of a bird with a human face in the woods; Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but gasp for air, frightened and ran back, but the way to come was gone, those birds also found Xiang Zhuang, and flew towards him excitedly, Xiang Zhuang hurriedly pulled out the bow and arrow on his back, his hand trembled without obeying the call, an arrow was shot, those birds were avoided, Xiang Zhuang shot a few arrows in a panic, and none of the arrows hit; seeing that those birds were about to pounce like Xiang Zhuang again, Xiang Zhuang had to desperately wave the short sword in his hand。

In this urgency, the bird headed by an arrow was shot, colorful feathers flew up, the other birds scattered and flew away, everything returned to calm, Xiang Zhuang looked at it in shock, surrounded by empty woods and some strange stones, the leaves rustled, as if someone had entered the forest. Xiang Zhuang thought that there must be someone to help him, and he fixed his mind and said:

"I don't know which master helps, please show up to accept Xiang Zhuang's worship, I am grateful!"

Except for the echo of his own voice, which sounded in the empty mountains, no one answered. Xiang Zhuang looked around in frustration, just now it was clear that someone was helping, but he refused to show up, Xiang Zhuang hesitated whether to continue to go up or back, since someone helped, although he refused to show up, Xiang Zhuang's curiosity was aroused, thinking that he could see how amazing this mountain was, and secondly, he could also force the master to show up, so he made up his mind, Xiang Zhuang continued to walk up.

Walking through this jungle, the mountain road becomes more and more steep, revealing hideous rocks, and the beautiful flowers are next to the steep rocks, surrounded by deep ravines. Xiang Zhuang cautiously walked along this narrow mountain road, walking up with difficulty, suddenly a yellow and black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, flashed by, and looked at it, it turned out to be a clouded leopard running to a big stone in front, like a snake soft body clinging to the stone, its gray eyes flashed with fierce light, the beard on the mouth shook and trembled, the body was decorated with thread markings, black and white, yellow and gray, it stared at Xiang Zhuang, and the particularly huge front paws posed a posture ready to pounce on the mountain rock at any time.

Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but clench the short sword in his hand, took a few steps back, thinking that this mountain is really dangerous, and he regretted a little that he shouldn't continue to go up the mountain, but there was no way out, the speed of the leopard was there to escape, but this mountain is not an ordinary mountain, everything is with aura, maybe this leopard is also human.

Xiang Zhuang plucked up the courage and said to the clouded leopard: "Brother Leopard, junior brother Xiang Zhuang inadvertently strayed into this place, and he had no intention of offending, and he hoped that Brother Leopard would give way." ”

The clouded leopard seemed to understand Xiang Zhuang's words, his gray eyes looked at the handsome person in front of him, let out a few low roars at Xiang Zhuang, and slowly lowered his head.

Xiang Zhuang stood trembling where he was, not knowing whether to go forward or backward, so he stalemate, Xiang Zhuang took a small step forward timidly, feeling that his feet were unusually heavy as if he had been filled with tongs, his legs were also a little trembling, and his whole body began to break out in a cold sweat, Xiang Zhuang took out a handkerchief with his left hand and gently wiped the beads of sweat the size of beans. Holding the dagger in his right hand, he carefully moved it forward, making every step feel extremely difficult.

When approaching the clouded leopard, it was too late to say that it was fast, the leopard suddenly pounced on Xiang Zhuang, the wind sounded in Xiang Zhuang's ears, and quickly flashed his body, avoiding this swoop, Xiang Zhuang picked up the short sword and turned around and stabbed the leopard, but the leopard flashed to the side, Xiang Zhuang looked at the clouded leopard nervously, the leopard pounced on Xiang Zhuang again, Xiang Zhuang picked up the short sword and stabbed it again, but the leopard was so agile to rush behind him and knock down Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Zhuang fell on the mountain road and rolled down, rolled for a while but did not see the leopard chasing.

Xiang Zhuang got up from the ground with difficulty, bruises fell on his face, body, hands, and legs, and there were several places where blood fell out, and the red blood seeped out drop by drop, Xiang Zhuang didn't care so much, and looked around urgently, the clouded leopard was gone, there was no shadow, but the danger just now was in front of him, Xiang Zhuang felt that it was too incredible, there were dangers everywhere here, but every time there was no danger.

Xiang Zhuang was even more puzzled, and Xiang Zhuang couldn't help shouting: "That master helps all the way, please accept Xiang Zhuang's three bows." ”

Xiang Zhuang knelt on the path reverently and kowtowed three times in the direction of the top of the mountain.

Xiang Zhuang knelt on the side of the road and shouted: "Please advise the master, whether Xiang Zhuang should continue to go up the mountain to pick flowers, or go down the mountain." ”

The steep mountain repeatedly echoed the voice and echo of Xiang Zhuang, and it was quiet everywhere, quiet and unsettling, and it also added a bit of mystery.
