"You don't walk along the mountain road, run into this grass and run around or something. Ling Shengxue walked behind Jiang Jianqiu and said with a frown. Not long after they walked out of the Huaishan Sect, Jiang Jianqiu took her away from the stone path, and now the two of them were walking in a bush, and the weeds around them were as tall as one person, and the two of them walked in it, and there were heavy weeds in front of them, and they couldn't even see the surrounding scene.

"It's too far to walk the road, it's going to be afternoon to get to town, I'll take you on a shortcut. Jiang Jianqiu said as he plucked some blades of grass on both sides, and after a while in his hand, he made a grass circle. He handed the grass circle to Ling Shengxue, saying: "The grass here is called bitter stem, the smell is strong, it can be used to disperse mosquitoes in summer, you take a walk in this grass and wear this grass circle, you should be able to cover your own smell." ”

Ling Shengxue was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why do you want to cover up your own smell?"

Jiang Jianqiu said with a smile: "We will take a short distance in a while, but there are many powerful guys, if they smell us, then ...... Wow!" He opened his hands violently and made a gesture of teeth and claws at Ling Shengxue.

Ling Shengxue frowned, feeling that this Jiang Jianqiu was really a bit reckless in doing things, but she was not a cowardly person, and after putting the grass trap around her neck, she continued to walk forward with Jiang Jianqiu.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them had walked into the woods. The forest is overgrown with shrubs and dead leaves, and it looks like a perennial inaccessible place. But this Jiang Jianqiu is like an old horse who knows the way, taking Ling Shengxue around in the dense forest, and he can always find some natural paths that can make people pass. The two of them walked in the dense forest for a while, walking for most of the hour, Ling Shengxue had never walked such a long way before, plus she hadn't eaten much recently, her body was gradually a little weak.

Jiang Jianqiu found out about Ling Shengxue's situation, reached out and patted his head and said, "Oops, how did I forget that you haven't been in good health recently." Let's find a place to rest first. He walked on his feet, and found a trunk of a tree lying across the ground, and it was so thick that two people hugged each other, and it was covered with moss, and it had been dead for I don't know how many years.

"We're here for a break. Jiang Jianqiu took Ling Shengxue to the side of the branch that came out of the dead tree, Ling Shengxue nodded, and sat down on the branch lightly. She took a few breaths and looked up in all directions, surrounded by heavy shadows of trees, and the huge canopy of trees joined together, forming a thick sea of green trees above the trees. Occasionally, sunlight shines down from between the leaves, creating a bright spot on the ground. The silence was so great that not even a single bird could be seen.

"It seems...... I can't hear the birdsong since just now?" Ling Shengxue said softly.

Jiang Jianqiu's voice was also lowered a lot, and he said softly: "Because we are now in the territory of a 'big guy'. ”

Ling Shengxue was shocked when she heard this, and said, "Then why don't we leave quickly?"

Jiang Jianqiu smiled and said, "It's okay, that big guy is motionless, he should still be sleeping." We walk on his turf, just in time to avoid the beasts in general. ”

Ling Shengxue was stunned when she heard this, and asked, "How do you know, you can feel it?"

"Well, I have been able to feel spiritual power and demonic energy since I was a child, and Master said that this is a talent called 'perception'. Jiang Jianqiu nodded and said.

"No wonder you dare to walk around in the mountains. So you're advancing on the edge of the sphere of influence of the various demon beasts, so that you won't alarm the demon beasts, and you won't encounter ordinary beasts?"

Jiang Jianqiu clapped his hands lightly and said, "Wow, I didn't expect you to be so smart." Don't worry, I've walked this road dozens of times, and I can get you out with my eyes closed. ”

Jiang Jianqiu suddenly remembered something, and said to Ling Shengxue, "You sit here and rest, I'll come when I go." With that, he trotted all the way and disappeared behind the bushes.

Ling Shengxue sat alone in the dark woods, surrounded by deathly silence, and she was afraid that she would be scared to cry if she was an ordinary little girl, but she had lived alone in the underground ice palace since she was a child, and she had long been accustomed to this lonely and silent environment. After a long time, there was a sound of footsteps, and Jiang Jianqiu trotted all the way back.

"Okay, the meeting gift for Uncle Zhao has been obtained, let's go. Jiang Jianqiu ran up to Ling Shengxue and said with a smile.

Ling Shengxue nodded and stood up, her breathing was calming down at this moment, and her previous fatigue had also recovered a little.

The two of them continued to walk forward, turning a corner, then speeding forward, drawing a twisting and turning route in the woods, Ling Shengxue followed behind, although they didn't know why Jiang Jianqiu took such a route, but they also understood that every turn meant that they passed by a certain fierce beast hidden in this dense forest.

Until the end of the woods, Ling Shengxue recalled that along the way, the two of them had not even encountered a rabbit. This is also very strange, such a large forest, I don't know how many animals live in it, but the two of them walked all the way, as if they were walking in an empty wilderness. Ling Shengxue glanced at Jiang Jianqiu, who was walking in front, and secretly thought that this stubborn senior brother still had something outstanding.

At the foot of Huai Mountain, there is a small town of less than 1,000 people, named Huaixia Town. This town is backed by Huai Mountain and faces Zehu Lake, which is a good place by the mountains and rivers. Over the years, it has been the wind and rain, and the life of the people in the town is also abundant, and the streets are full of people coming and going, a lively scene.

In the flow of people, Jiang Jianqiu and Ling Shengxue, two children, walked side by side, Jiang Jianqiu pointed to the east and west points of the gesture, and introduced the surrounding houses to Ling Shengxue. Ling Shengxue stared at a pair of big eyes, looking overwhelmed.

"There is Tianxianglou, the most famous restaurant in the town, the fish in this lake is a well-known delicacy, but unfortunately we have no money, so we can only stand outside and smell it." ”

Jiang Jianqiu couldn't help but feel a little funny and a little sad when she saw this little junior sister looking like a countryman entering the city, I heard that Senior Sister Ling lived in the bitter cold land of the extreme north, and I was afraid that she hadn't been to any prosperous places since she grew up.

"What the fish look like, I want to go to the lake to see it. When Ling Shengxue looked around, such a sentence suddenly appeared. Jiang Jianqiu was stunned for a moment, and then relieved, Senior Sister Ling lives in the snow field, where is there a fish in that place, it is normal that she has not seen it.

"It's noon now, so let's go fill our stomachs first. Let's go, I'll show you the best pastry chef in town. ”

Jiang Jianqiu pulled Ling Shengxue and shuttled through the streets, seemingly extremely familiar with this Huaixia Town. After a while, the two of them came to a small shop, which had only one room, and there were two long tables in it, and above the door hung a sign with white letters on a black background, "Zhao Ji Cake Shop".
