Chapter 12: The Soul Grass
When night falls, tonight is the time when the moon is at its fullest, and the moonlight shines on the cabin as if it were lit by a candle, and the stars shine brightly. Outside the cabin sat a man sitting cross-legged on a plank, looking at the moon and letting the shadows stretch out in the moonlight.
Another figure slowly approached, two shadows very close together, like one person. "I'm sorry, but the cottage is a bit rudimentary. Gongsun Ying also looked at the moon and said.
"What's the matter, at least it's better than spending the night in the mountains!" Zirou glanced at Gongsun Ying next to her and said jokingly.
Gongsun Ying couldn't help but smile lightly, glanced at Zirou, and the moonlight looked even more beautiful and delicate on the already crystal clear face. "Why did you Purple Smoke Pavilion send someone to protect him, does Lan Lingluo have any relationship with your mother-in-law?"
Zi Rou didn't answer immediately, pondered for a while, thinking about Lan Lingluo's appearance in the Purple Smoke Pavilion Hall, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, "Maybe my mother-in-law likes him, but my mother-in-law seemed a little hasty when I gave us this mission?"
"How?"
"I don't know, I just feel a little unnatural" Zi Rou said slowly, turned her head to look at Gongsun Ying, who looked a little out of her body, and smiled slightly: "How did you two meet?"
Gongsun Ying looked back at Zirou, looked at Zirou who was full of curiosity, and then looked at the moonlit forest in the distance, "We? It's about the same as this time! The last time I met him, he was almost dead." ”
"Huh?" Zirou looked a little skeptical, but she really wanted to hear it, "Then tell me about it"
"You know everything about Lingyun Pavilion," Gongsun Ying said and glanced at Zi Rou, Zi Rou nodded, and Gongsun Ying continued: "He was chased down the mountain by his disciples, and I happened to meet him when I went home, and..."
Zirou listened a little intrigued, and the corners of her mouth rose from time to time, "I didn't expect him to be quite funny,"
"I saw that you seemed to be quite nervous about him yesterday, you..."Gongsun Ying looked at Zirou and asked.
"Maybe it's the first time I've gone down the mountain, and it's still such a protection mission, our mother-in-law is fierce, when I was young, I didn't practice my sword moves well, so I was punished for not eating for a day" Zirou said and fell into deep thought, looking at the moonlight, and didn't speak for a long time, it was missing her family.
I don't know when it started, Lan Lingluo has already lived in her heart
Next
The sky was just slightly bright in the early morning, Ziyue got up early, and it was the first time that six people were crammed into a room, but he was not such a hypocritical person with limited conditions outside, but he was startled as soon as he got up.
Ling Tianhan didn't know when he sat dumbfounded beside Lan Lingluo's bed, motionless.
"You haven't slept all night?" Ziyue asked.
"Sleeping" Ling Tianhan's gaze never left Lan Lingluo.
Looking at the situation, Ziyue didn't know what to say, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your relationship is really good!"
"Well, Brother Ling Luo has taken the most care of me since I was a child, I have suffered from blood disease since I was a child, only he is willing to play with me, and he is the first to share any good things with me, no matter what others say, as long as Brother Ling Luo says it, I will believe it! Take Lingyun Pavilion this time, I know very well that he didn't do it. Ling Tianhan said.
"Why? Why are you so sure it wasn't he who killed you?" Ziyue asked incomprehensibly.
"A person you admire, someone you have loved is the most reluctant to hurt. Ling Tianhan said lightly.
"What are you talking about?" At this time, Gongsun Ying looked at the two of them and slowly walked to Lan Lingluo's bedside.
"No, it's nothing," Ziyue explained.
Seeing that Lan Lingluo's face was still pale, the wound was somewhat better, it seemed that the myogenic cream had taken effect, and the shallow wound had begun to heal the scar, but according to common sense, people should be able to wake up, how could they still be motionless, and they couldn't wake up when they screamed.
"Lan Lingluo, Lan Lingluo" Gongsun Ying gently shook Lan Lingluo's body, trying to wake him up.
Ling Tianhan and Ziyue looked at Gongsun Ying's expression a little nervous, and they couldn't help but be a little worried
"Miss Gongsun, what's wrong, is something wrong?" Ziyue asked.
"Something is wrong, although life is fine, but according to the usual situation, Lan Lingluo should be able to wake up now, okay...."Gongsun Ying said as she checked Lan Lingluo's breathing and pulse.
Zirou Ziting was also woken up, and everyone gathered around.
Ling Tianhan's expression was a little ugly, "Could it be that he has been asleep like this?" Everyone was inevitably a little anxious and worried when they heard Gongsun Ying's words.
"I once saw in a medical book that a medicine can wake up a comatose person as soon as possible, but I haven't tried it yet, so I don't know if it's feasible!" Gongsun Ying said as he thought of a medical book he had read before.
"What is it?" asked several people in unison.
"This medicine is called Soul Herb, it grows in a gloomy environment, and it is difficult to find!" replied Gongsun Ying.
"What's the most gloomy place?" Zi Ting couldn't help but ask, looking at everyone.
"Dragon's Mountain!" Gongsun Ying and Ziyue said at the same time.
"And what do you recognize?" asked Ziyue.
Gongsun Ying is trying to recall, "I recognize, its most obvious feature is that the stem has three knots, also known as three knots of grass. ”
"Without further ado, I'll go with you, Zirou Ziting and the two of you will stay and take care of them. Ziyue looked at everyone and said. Protecting Lan Lingluo was an urgent order from her mother-in-law, indicating that Lan Lingluo must have a vital role, although she doesn't know what it is now, but if something happens to Lan Lingluo, she can't explain it to her mother-in-law.
"In that case, then so be it, let's leave for the Dragon's Mountain at once. Gongsun Ying said.
The mountain is located in the northwest gloomy place, is the place where the rivers and lakes are scattered, the traitors of the door, and the insidious villain gathers, and later because someone leads the self-proclaimed pavilion, called the coffin pavilion. The coffin pavilion is mixed, although it is not as united as other pavilions, but they are all ruthless people who are not easy to mess with, and ordinary people avoid them.
The mountain is formed by the intersection of two natural boulders, like two huge human hands, standing in the distance to see the mountain is like a cave, there is always a feeling of seeping people when you walk into the mountain, the light is dim, if it is not for the occasional sunlight shining in from the gap between the two boulders, it is like night. The air was filled with the smell of decay of the plant, like a giant mouth devouring life.
Ziyue and Gongsun Ying are now looking outside towards the Dragon's Mountain, the black pressure is oppressive, and it is very difficult to see the end, standing outside there is still sunlight, and the more you go into the mountain, the darker it becomes.
A gust of wind blew, and Gongsun Ying couldn't help but shiver, which was very eerie.
"Look for it, this place is too weird!" Gongsun Ying said. Be careful with every step you take inside, for fear of making a noise that will wake up the terrible creatures inside.
Ziyue couldn't help but smile on the side, "I didn't expect you to believe in ghosts?"
"Ghosts or not, I don't know, sometimes people are more terrible than ghosts!" Gongsun Ying said lightly, his eyes looking around on the ground.
"It's so dark inside, how can we find it if we can't see it?" Ziyue stood and looked inside, the light was too dim to be clear.
"Fortunately, I have this" Gongsun Ying took out the fire fold from his pocket, and the two walked together, one looking left and the other right, seriously looking for the soul grass.
"Eh, why is there no road ahead?" Ziyue said in surprise suddenly.
Gongsun Ying raised the fire fold so that the light could shine wider, and there was indeed no road ahead, blocked by stones, not so much a stone as a stone wall. This stone wall must have been around for a long time, and even the stone wall was overgrown with weeds.
"Didn't you say that there is a coffin pavilion on the Dragon's Mountain, why is there no way here?" Gongsun Ying also said to herself strangely.
"Gongsun, come and see," Ziyue suddenly shouted.
A large piece of this stone wall is clean, and it seems that someone has often touched it, the secret door? Ziyue suddenly thought in her heart!
There was a sunken hole in the stone wall, and there was a protruding stone block on the left, Ziyue knocked it with her hand, pressed it hard, and suddenly the clean stone wall began to shake.
"Sure enough, there is a secret door!" Ziyue shouted. Gongsun Ying was startled by the sudden shaking of the stone wall, holding the fire fold in her right hand, and gently tugging on Ziyue's clothes with her left hand, hiding behind her and looking around, afraid that something strange would come out of this stone gate.
The stone gate gradually rose, a beam of light shone from the door, and suddenly the surroundings seemed to be bright, the stone wall seemed to stand in the grass, and the vines from top to bottom covered the entire stone wall, staggered roots, like a green snake winding down.
The stone gate was not high, about three feet later, people had to bend down to pass, Ziyue bent and walked in front, Gongsun Ying followed closely behind, as if he was passing through a tunnel.
Passing through the stone walls, it was bright everywhere, and there was a huge crack in the sky above here, and the sunlight passed through the crack, making this place indistinguishable from the outside.
Gongsun Ying looked around, the stone wall here was not as smooth as before, protruding, and the depression was uneven, Gongsun Ying suddenly pointed to a stone wall and shouted: "There, this is it!"
Ziyue said that Gongsun Ying pointed in the direction of looking, the herb grew out of the crack in the stone, the stem was purple-black, divided into three sections, the leaf color was green, I saw Ziyue stepping on the stone jumping up, his feet lightly on the stone wall, brushing the herb, his right hand firmly pinched the root, carefully plucked, one turned, and then slowly fell, the whole process was like a fairy picking flowers, vivid.
Ziyue looked at the herbs in her hand, frowned, and hurriedly brought the herbs to Gongsun Ying: "Gongsun, can you see if this is it?"
Gongsun Ying took a closer look, nodded in confirmation, and put it away, at this moment, a flying claw swept between the two, Ziyue pushed Gongsun Ying with her hand, and exclaimed: "Be careful!", the flying claw was deeply inserted into the stone wall, like an eagle grabbing its prey, and the flying claw was connected by a small steel cable.
