In the depths of the forest, two people, one tall and one short, were shuttling quickly through the dense trees, the man in front was light and down, and the boy behind looked like he was fleeing in embarrassment, and the bruises and bruises on his body could be seen everywhere.

That's right, this is Long Xiao and his second uncle.

At the beginning, the second uncle's speed was not fast, and Long Xiao was still very calm, but later the second uncle gradually increased his pace, and even if Long Xiao used the light skills taught by his grandfather when he was a child, he was often left far behind. Fortunately, every time Long Xiao was exhausted and couldn't keep up, the second uncle would slow down.

But with Long Xiao's character, how could he be lazy. The longing for Nian'er and Grandpa made him have a little strength and he won't give up.

In fact, the second uncle who was really surprised, he may have expected that his father had taught him some kung fu, but what he didn't expect was his desperate energy, as long as there was still a little strength, Long Xiao would not stop, this tenacious quality had to make people a little moved.

Traveling during the day and hiding and cultivating at night was all the life of the two of them for nearly half a month. Although they encountered some spirit beasts along the way, fortunately, it was not a climate, and it did not hinder their journey. Although the second uncle felt a little strange, he still felt lucky. After all, more than ten years ago, all kinds of ferocious monsters could still be seen everywhere in this mangrove, so they were even more careful.

Along the way, the second uncle also took the time to teach Long Xiao about some spirit beasts he encountered, and Long Xiao remembered it very seriously, but he also learned quickly.

On this day, Long Xiao and the others were still running in the forest, but the second uncle suddenly stopped, and when Long Xiao finally caught up, the second uncle did not continue to walk, but listened quietly.

"There are sounds of fighting not far away, so let's avoid them first. The second uncle vigilantly observed the surroundings and said to Long Xiao.

"They're coming this way, let's go!" After speaking, he grabbed Long Xiao and ran forward.

Long Xiao felt the wind whistling in his ears, and was surprised that the second uncle could run so fast, and he actually felt like he was flying.

At this time, Long Xiao also heard a voice getting closer and closer, and it was even faster than the second uncle.

The second uncle sped up again, and ran into a cluster of dense trees, and found an open lake in front of him.

The two of them had just stopped at the water's edge and were about to find another way, when the wind whistled behind them, and a bright, unknown thing, came out of the grass and plunged headlong into the clear blue water, and disappeared.

Before Long Xiao could come back to his senses, there was another strange sound behind him, and three people flashed out.

It was a man and a woman, two old men and a young woman, the old man and the old lady had gray hair, but they were in good spirits, and there was no sense of decadence of old age at all, the woman was not very old, but she didn't look much older than Long Xiao, wearing a peach-colored tight robe, lining her slender figure, her face was a little flushed because of the rush, and her eyebrows flew obliquely into her sideburns, full of heroism, she asked Long Xiao and his second uncle with a slightly sullen face: "Hey, can you see the demon beast escape?" Although the voice was crisp, it made people listen very impolite.

The second uncle ignored her and was about to pull Long Xiao away.

Seeing that they ignored her and were about to leave without saying a word, the woman was angry and said angrily: "Don't go, I think you must be in the same group as the demon beast, and you don't want to leave if she steals our things!"

The old man behind the woman was about to speak, Long Xiao suddenly heard a roar in the lake, and turned his head to see that a little girl who was soaked was jumping out of the water, and there were two strange milky white things crawling on her body, all embarrassed.

The little girl tore off the little things on her body, raised her hand at the three people and said, "Okay, don't chase, I surrender." Just now, Xiaoxian lost his mind for a while and did something wrong, and I hope the two seniors will forgive me. ”

After the little girl finished speaking, she handed over a pill with both hands.

The old man snorted coldly, waved his sleeves, and the pill flew into his hand.

"But we seem to have strayed into the territory of the Phantom Heart Beast, and I'm afraid it's not easy to get out. The little girl pointed to the little thing she had just taken off, and said with a wry smile.

At this time, suddenly a strange sound came, and everyone followed the sound and saw that there was a group of dense things surging towards the shore in the roaring lake, and there were many hula crawling out of the trees on the shore, and for a time six people were surrounded by layers.

"I have heard others say that in this forest there are phantom beasts, which live by the lake, and can confuse the beasts that enter their territory to drink and rest, and then wait until the prey is exhausted, and then wait for the opportunity to anesthetize and devour the prey. The second uncle didn't want to reveal his identity, so he explained roughly.

Long Xiao looked at the little girl who jumped out of the water, and saw that she was dressed in white, her little face was as spiritual as ice carving, and she would not be more than ten years old.

The little girl also suddenly looked at Long Xiao with wide eyes, pointed to the treetops behind Long Xiao, and shouted loudly, "Watch behind you!"

As soon as the little girl finished speaking, dozens of milky white beasts with tentacles jumped down from the tree and pounced on the six of them.

I saw the two old men and the little girl with light waves around them, shaking the little beast next to them, the second uncle also pulled Long Xiao over to his side, and waved his hand to knock the little beast that rushed towards them, the peach-colored woman was not so lucky, she stood under the tree, far away from the two old men, and before she could react, she was entangled by the two phantom heart beasts, and the two old men were about to free their hands to save the woman, and dozens of small beasts pounced on them.

For a while, the blue and white light waves on the shore flickered everywhere, although it did not let the little beast get close, but it did not decrease, and if it continued to consume like this, it would inevitably be taken down by this phantom beast sooner or later.

"It's all your monster beast, it consumed too much of our spiritual power, otherwise how would you be afraid of this mere phantom heart beast!" The old lady said to the little girl hatefully while helping the woman defeat the spirit beast on her body.

"Xiaoxian made a mistake for a while, and you forced it, that Taoist friend wanted to sell this elixir to me, and I didn't want you to come first and come first. If it weren't for the fact that I was already injured, let alone this phantom heart beast, even if you were two, the immortal would not be in his eyes. The little girl replied coldly.

"He is willing to sell to us, you can give a higher price and forcibly rob me of the things of the shore chess gate, just you?"

"Ah~" The woman exclaimed, and everyone found that the phantom beasts in the lake had already climbed ashore, and a few of them actually climbed onto the woman's legs.

"Shore chess formation!" the old man said as he surrounded the woman with the old man, and silently recited a few mantras, and a wall of fire instantly formed around them, isolating the three of them.

Here, the second uncle also summoned his soul body, pulled out his knife and slashed three times, instantly blocking a lot of space around him.

Long Xiao shouted to the little girl, "Come here!"

The little girl was soaking wet, and her already thin body looked even thinner, so she smiled at Long Xiao and rushed to their side.

"I'm fine, they can't help me, you have to be careful, be careful not to get poisoned. After the little girl finished speaking, she smiled at Long Xiao, rushed into the bushes full of phantom heart beasts, and disappeared.

At this time, Long Xiao felt a numbness in his legs, and when he looked down, he saw that a phantom heart beast had climbed on his legs, and soon he began to feel dizzy.

Then I suddenly heard a crisp cry like a silver bell: "Brother, you are finally back!Where have you been? I thought you didn't want me anymore......

Turning his head and seeing Long Nian's crying red eyes, Long Xiao suddenly burst into tears, hugged Nian'er, and said in a choked voice: "Nian'er, it's my brother who is not good." ”

"Grandpa is here, too. Nian'er pointed to a place not far behind her.

Long Xiao looked up and saw that his grandfather was smiling at him in front of him, his gray beard flashing in the light and shadow.

"Grandpa, are you okay?" Long Xiao said as he looked at his grandfather with blurred teary eyes, "But, why are you here?"

At this time, Long Xiao heard a loud shout again: "It turns out that this evil is planted here!" Long Xiao looked up, and he came to the Dragon Clan's Qiling Pool again, and the man in Chinese clothes on the top of the cliff glared angrily, flew down and pointed at his grandfather, and in an instant, the whole picture was shattered again......

Long Xiao saw a fire dragon and a water dragon circling around him again, and his vision began to blur......

"Long Xiao, Long Xiao ......" Long Xiao heard one after another more and more urgent shouts, and suddenly felt a terrible headache, frowned and opened his eyes, the dazzling light made him quickly squint, vaguely saw the figure of the second uncle beside him, and muttered, "Where am I?"

"You'll be fine when you wake up, you were poisoned by the Phantom Heart Beast just now, and you're fine now. The second uncle whispered beside Long Xiao. After speaking, he turned around and hugged his fist to a man dressed in black beside him and said, "I still thank this benevolent brother for saving me!"

The old man, who was still taking care of the woman, also smiled at the man in black and said, "I don't know what Your Excellency is called, if he has the opportunity in the future, I will come to the door to thank you." ”

"That's not necessary, I'm an idler, I don't have a fixed place, just passing by here, helping is just a gesture, it's nothing. Seeing that the girl is more seriously poisoned, you better hurry up. The man in black leaned against a tree and said expressionlessly.

The old man picked up the girl and said, "Since Your Excellency said so, I won't be verbose, my left bank is the third shore chess door, if you have something to do, you can go directly to the door to find us, and we will meet again!" After speaking, he hurriedly left with the old lady and the girl.

Long Xiao stood up and looked at the man in black, his outfit was simple but not casual, he didn't look like a country idler, and his eyebrows and eyes were very sharp, he must be a master who didn't want to show his identity.

"My nephew and I originally wanted to explore the forest and find some elixir, but we didn't expect to strayed into the territory of the Phantom Heart Beast, but thanks to Brother Ren's rescue, I really don't know how to repay it. The second uncle didn't want to reveal the identities of the two people, so he made up a lie and walked up to the man in black and said.

"Where are you going next?" The man in black glanced at the second uncle with slanted eyes, still showing his face.

"We're going to go out of the forest first, and then we're going to Kyoto. The second uncle replied.

"In this case, I really want you to do a favor, I don't know if you can help or not. ”

"The grace of saving lives should be reciprocated, and if we can do it, we will definitely not excuse it. The second uncle said.

"It's not a difficult thing, I just want you to go to Zhang's house in Kyoto to give Zhang Sihai a word. The man in black paused and looked at the second uncle.

"The Zhang family in Kyoto, I don't know if it was the Zhang family, the largest family in Kyoto?" the second uncle seemed to remember something and asked.

"I don't know if it's the first big family, right? But it should be the Zhang family you said. The man in black was still expressionless.

"I don't know what Brother Ren wants to bring?" The second uncle frowned, thought thoughtfully, and raised his head to look at the man in black.

"I was going to Kyoto to make an appointment, but I couldn't fulfill it, you just need to tell him in person that the old man in the distant country has something to delay and can't fulfill the appointment. The man in black looked at the two of them and said.

"Then I don't know what to call you, and who told him to bring the message?"

"You just have to tell him that it's his relatives in the mountains. The man in black continued.

The second uncle also turned his head to look at Long Xiao, and Long Xiao naturally understood that he was asking for his opinion.

Although Long Xiao was a little puzzled in his heart, he still nodded to the second uncle and said: "The predecessor has the grace to save his life, so naturally he should agree, and then give a message, it must not be troublesome, and we will go to find Nian after we finish passing the message...... It's not too late to do our job again. ”

The second uncle hugged his fist at the man in black and said, "Since this is the case, we will definitely live up to our trust." ”

The man in black also clenched his fists and replied: "Then thank you, I still have something to do, I will leave first, and there will be a period later." With that, he turned and left, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Seeing that the man in black was gone, the second uncle thought for a while, sighed softly, and frowned.

"Second uncle, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, we should go too. Spirit beasts often come to drink water near the lake, so we have to get out of here as soon as possible, otherwise we will really have to stay here if we encounter a powerful spirit beast again. The second uncle got up after speaking.

"I don't know what happened to that little girl. Long Xiao suddenly thought.

"Don't worry about her, she's very ghostly, she deceived the old man with a fake pill, and just made the old man angry. Let's go. The second uncle pulled Long Xiao out of this place of right and wrong.
