The two of them walked around the forest like headless flies, but they couldn't get out. The sun had set, and there was a dead silence in the four fields.

Hua Qiangu got anxious: "You don't care about me! You can get out of the forest by feeling the road and walking all the way to the north." No matter how many laps you go around with me, you won't be able to get out!"

She thought that she had led the ghost to haunt her again, and ran into a ghost hitting the wall, thinking that if Xuanyuan Lang walked alone, she should be able to go out.

"You're stupid, you're not some kind of ghost hitting the wall, this is the stinky king's seven-star maze, the outside can't get in, and the inside can't get out. That Wang Bajing just wants to trap me, and it's better to starve me to death, so that my master can't find me. It was injured by me, I have the true dragon qi to protect the body, he can't get close, I can't kill me, I can only change the law, I want me to suffer a little more. Look at how I fix him when I catch him!"

"Is there a way to break that formation?"

"I don't know how to break this formation, which is equivalent to the stinky Wang Ba, whose Wang Ba shell is covered outside, and the veins on its shell are the various formations of the Five Elements Bagua, and there are thousands of changes. In fact, it's not very powerful, it just relies on this gossip array to make trouble everywhere. But how did you get in?"

"I heard your screams and walked straight in. ”

"What is a scream!" Xuanyuan Lang hit Hua Qian's bones with a chestnut, "I'm just calling for help to see if my master can sense it." ”

Hua Qiangu innocently touched his messy head, and his dirty appearance may really be a little like a little beggar.

"The one called the Immortal King, give me one of these, do you see if it brought me in. "Hua Qiangu showed him the drops of heavenly water.

Xuanyuan Lang touched it in the palm of his hand, as if holding a cold tear, and a trace of blood in it slowly swirled and snaked away, as if he was alive.

"Although there is a strong mana in it, why does it always feel like a monster? Why are you going to find that Immortal King? Legend has it that he feeds on the tongues of the dead, has a cunning and strange temperament, and is an out-and-out monster. ”

"No, he's a little scary, but in fact, he's a good person, and he helps people who are in trouble and want to know the truth to give me this so that I can go up Maoshan Mountain." ”

"! Hearing you say that, it has become a pleasure to help others!" Xuanyuan Lang was speechless for so many years, and for the Imperial Palace, the Immortal Pavilion was undoubtedly a more terrifying existence than any evil demon or even reactionary force.

How many unjust crimes, how many intrigues, how many reversals of right and wrong, all history can be rewritten by the Son of Heaven, and any truth and inside story can also be erased and covered up by the Son of Heaven. However, because of the existence of the Immortal Pavilion, nothing can be buried with the dust of history. Therefore, as long as the officials and concubines and concubines are as small as the eunuchs and palace maids, as long as they know some important things, they are all secretly asked by their father to cut out their tongues when they are buried.

When he was a child, crying and pulling his father's leg to prevent him from getting close to the body of the queen mother, the emperor just said: "The secret is called a secret because it cannot be known by a third person." Lang'er, when you grow up and ascend the throne in the future, and when your father dies, you must also remember to cut out your father's tongue and incinerate it. This is a family motto passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors, don't ask why. ”

He didn't understand it very well, but from that day on, he made up his mind that in this life, he must be a man who stands up to the sky, is innocent, and has nothing to say to others. There is nothing to hide, and there is no fear of giving an account to anyone!

As long as it's a secret, it's not a good thing. So he doesn't need to!

Hua Qiangu didn't pay attention to his thoughts at all, he just took the water drop that day and hung it around his neck and muttered: "It's okay, I always feel that he is not a bad person and will not harm me, otherwise he will not need to help me." ”

"What did you give him?"

"Huh?"

"I said, what price did you pay him? ”

"Nothing was given. It's just that I gave him my name and eight characters and everything. ”

Xuanyuan Lang frowned, and felt even worse: "In the future, don't mess up your own eight characters or something, it's too easy for someone with a high level of evil magic to kill you or control you." ”

"Oh, I see. "Hua Qiangu touched his stomach, so hungry, he couldn't walk.

"Anyway, after you got up Maoshan Mountain, you quickly threw this thing away, don't bring it again, do you hear?"

"Okay, good—" Hua Qiangu shook his head helplessly, this person is really used to ordering others.

"Anyway, we can't get out, let's rest here for the night, I'm hungry. ”

"Okay, let's heat up first, I'll go and see if there are any hares and pheasants to fetch and eat. You go over there and pick up some branches or something!"

"Uh, it's so dark over there, there won't be ghosts, it's going to die if you're eaten......" Hua Qiangu hesitated, she was most afraid of the dark, and she basically didn't dare to run around at night.

"Nonsense, ghosts are not monsters, how can they eat people! Stand up straight, look at you, trembling, scared like this, really don't look like a man!"

"I'm not a man...... in the first place," Hua Qiangu muttered there in a low voice, but he didn't bother to explain, Dr. Zhang explained that it was safer to be careful when a person goes out alone, or to be treated as a boy. If you deliberately emphasize it, there is no need for men and women to be no different, and you don't need others to take care of you because you are a girl.

Hua Qiangu made a fire, and after a while, Xuanyuan Lang caught several pheasants.

Because in the past two years, he has followed Luohedong to eat and sleep outside, and Xuanyuan Lang has long been no longer arrogant.

"I'll give you a taste of my craft. He plucked the feathers and plucked them clean, emptied them with the spices and seasonings they had brought with them, and then wrapped them in leaves and buried them under the fire.

Hua Qiangu drooled when she saw it on the side, she had been sleeping in the open for the past two months, and she hadn't eaten a good meal.

The night in Maoshan is quiet and quiet, and there is someone around him, who is no longer as afraid and anxious as before. There are not many people who have come into contact with Hua Qiangu, and after my father left, he was even more lonely, but he was used to it for a long time. Since she was a child, she had no friends around her, and the children in the same village also followed the instructions of the adults and did not dare to approach her, for fear of getting into trouble with unlucky things. Growing up alone, you hardly know how to get along with strangers. I just think that people are good to me, and I am good to others. Don't be too close to others, it may hurt the other party, and it will make your heart much weaker, after all, you will still be left alone in the end.

But looking at the same childish teenager next to her, she didn't know why, but she felt extremely relieved that she was not afraid of anything, and she had never had such a trust.

"Will that Wang Bajing hide nearby and find an opportunity to harm you?"

"He's not good enough to touch a single hair. The reason why I was trapped was because the master was looking for me everywhere, and then he would have a chance to escape further, and even if I went out, I couldn't find him, so the longer I was trapped, the better. ”

"Wouldn't you be afraid to deal with these things every day and catch them?" Hua Qiangu couldn't imagine that if she became a Taoist priest, she would have to subdue demons and eliminate demons or something, she just wanted a hut to sleep peacefully every night, and it would be good for her to be bothered by ghosts. It may be that it is not promising, but it is such a simple wish.

"To be honest, of course I was scared at first, I was always protected by someone since I was a child, I didn't have to worry about anything, and when I really faced those dangers and horrors, I was really scared, and I didn't know what to do. At first, I didn't understand why he had worked so hard to kick me out, and he ignored me for a year or two, wasn't he afraid that I would die outside, but then I slowly understood. Maybe that's the most dangerous place for me. He hopes that when I grow strong enough, I will go back and really don't have to be afraid of anything anymore!"

Hua Qiangu looked at his eyes that were as bright as stars, and there was nobility and domineering on his face. At that time, she didn't understand what the wind of a king was, but many years later, when she saw those eyes again, she couldn't say the shock and surrender in her heart, knowing that he had been able to support the whole world by himself, and what was even more valuable and moved her was his unchanging Qiankun Lang Lang and pure heart.

"Well, I also hope that one day I can no longer be so timid. My father said that you should be fearless and respectful, you work so hard to catch ghosts and subdue demons, and after training yourself, you will definitely become a man who stands up to the sky!"

"Is your heart fearless?" Xuanyuan Lang muttered to himself, nodded vigorously, looked at Hua Qiangu, and said firmly: "At that time, I will come to Maoshan to find you!"

"Hehe, okay, maybe I was also very powerful at that time!" Hua Qiangu looked up at the sky, how could he have known the weirdness and changeability of life.

"What a beautiful moon! Is Maoshan very high? Why is it so big, I'm hungry, have I eaten well?"

"It should be fine. Xuanyuan Lang turned the roast chicken out of the fire, and the aroma was overflowing.

Hua Qiangu's saliva flowed: "There are a few steamed buns to roast and eat together!"

When the two gobbled up, they both leaned forward and leaned back laughing while chatting about their respective experiences and troubles in meeting ghosts.

"I didn't expect someone to be possessed by a ghost so easily, hahaha!"

"That's right, that time that hungry ghost possessed me, and I couldn't drive it away for three days and three nights, and I almost ate everything I could eat at home, and I almost didn't die of a large vat of rice. In the end, my father poured six or seven jars of wine into me, and I was so drunk that I fainted, and the monks in the temple drove the ghost away. It caused me to gain a few pounds, and then I got drunk as soon as I got drunk, and I fell into a strange problem of being sleepy as soon as I was full. ”

Hua Qiangu yawned: "So I've never eaten full, and I don't dare to eat it, but today's roast chicken is so delicious......"

As he spoke, he really staggered and fell backwards, fell asleep, and took a chicken wing in his hand, and the piece of chicken that he had just bitten in his mouth didn't even have time to swallow, and half of it was exposed.

Xuanyuan Lang laughed so much that his stomach hurt, squatted in front of her, looked at her with a greasy mouth, a full face, a happy and satisfied expression of sleep, and somewhere in his heart seemed to be warm.

Pulled the chicken out of her mouth, and then wiped her mouth and face with his sleeve without mind, revealing a fair and transparent baby face.

"It's like a girl. Xuanyuan Lang saw that she was dressed as a boy and was dedicated to cultivating in Maoshan Mountain, so he decided that she was a boy.

took the chicken wings in her hand and continued to gnaw on herself, leaning against the tree, fearing that Hua Qiangu would sleep uncomfortable, so he pillowed her head on his lap. Looking at the bright moon in the boundless sky, Lang Lang slowly fell asleep.

The next morning, he was kicked to the ground in the middle of his dream.

"Master, don't make noise, let me sleep again......" Xuanyuan Lang rolled on the ground for two and a half weeks, hugging a soft object next to him and continuing to sleep.

Behind him was another kick and a thunderbolt roar on a sunny day.

"Stinky boy, you lie down here, sleep peacefully, get me up!"

Xuanyuan Lang reluctantly opened his eyes, and now he didn't know when he held Hua Qiangu in his arms, and jumped up in fright. turned to look at the master who had made him think like crazy in the past two days.

"Ahh

Jin Dahan in front of him flew up again, and he deftly dodged over.

"How many times have I said it, call the master!! I don't know how I Luo Hedong handed over your uncompetitive apprentice, and I was actually fooled by a king and eight spirits, and I lost my face!"

Suddenly I feel that I am not kicking an unknown object under my feet.

"What's this?"

Xuanyuan Lang hurriedly protected Hua Qiangu: "He's not me, don't kick it around, wait for the kick to break." Hey, why does this guy sleep like a pig and still don't wake up!"

Luo Hedong squatted down with a huge body, he was as tall as Xuanyuan Lang and the two of them, like a small mountain.

Flipping over Hua Qiangu's eyelids to probe the pulse: "It's okay, but I lost a little bit of essence, and I was slightly weak." ”

Xuanyuan Lang was shocked: "How is it possible! I haven't seen any evil all night!"

"It's not a demon, it's the thing around her neck. Luo Hedong pointed to the water droplet.

"I knew that this was not a good thing, and it even sucked the essence and blood of people!" Xuanyuan Lang was so angry that his bad luck was about to ruin that heavenly droplet.

"Don't, don't, don't!" Luo Hedong hurriedly took his hand, "Don't break it, this is a good thing." Suck in some essence and you won't die. Hey, wake up, wake up!"

Hua Qiangu felt that a big hand was patting his face, and he was so comfortable to open his eyes in a daze, he hadn't slept so comfortably at night for a long time.

What's this thing in front of you? Is it a ghost?

Hua Qiangu looked at the fierce face in front of him, and took two steps back in fright, trembling all over. Luo Hedong has a golden face, a beard, and his eyebrows are flying, his eyes are like copper bells, and his mouth is like a lion's roar, which is indeed terrifying enough. Therefore, many demons and monsters are usually scared just by hearing their voices and seeing their people.

"Don't be afraid, this is my master. Xuanyuan Lang hugged her in his arms, so thin, and suddenly wanted to keep her by his side to protect her.

"Master, you know that you look like Zhong Kui, so don't get so close and scary, okay? Yesterday he saved me, otherwise I would have been hung on a tree by the king who killed a thousand knives, and I would have been exposed to the sun and rain!

Luo Hedong threw something on the ground.

"Grandpa's, waiting for you to go, he doesn't know which nest to go to in the East China Sea to enjoy Qingfu!"

"Wow, King Eight Shells!" Xuanyuan Lang picked up the lid-like thing on the ground, and stroked the scriptures and gossip diagrams on it little by little.

"You've already taken it, huh?"

"If I don't catch it first, how can I find you, you kid, if you dare to be so reckless next time, you can feed me monsters, don't say that you are my apprentice, shame on me." I've taught you all these years!"

"Your uncle originally wanted to catch him with his own hands to take revenge! Count that Wang Ba lucky!" Xuanyuan Lang took the shell and knocked it east and west.

Luo Hedong flew up again and kicked him in the ass: "Fuck, you dead boy! You don't learn the good and the bad, you have learned everything! You have a dirty mouth, how do you want me to take you back to deal with your Lao Tzu!" Luo Hedong asked Cang Tian speechlessly, I don't know if his teaching method is too unsuccessful, or this apprentice is too unsuccessful, how can he turn a noble and introverted prince into a competitive Chunye boy in just two years?

"Oops, hey, I'll just pay attention to it later. By the way, master, he told Hua Qiangu to go to Maoshan to apprentice, you can write him a letter of recommendation! Let the Qingxu Daoist take him as an apprentice!"

"En. Hua Qiangu nodded and looked at him gratefully.

"Damn, you're a pig! Have you ever seen your master write a word except for drawing symbols? I can't even write my own name and write any letters of recommendation!"

Xuanyuan Lang and Hua Qiangu looked at each other and were speechless at the same time.

"What then?"

"There are many ways, for the sake of saving you, I'll help. As he spoke, he took out a snail-like thing from his bosom, knocked it twice, and yelled at him.

"Qingxu Lao Dao! I Luohedong sent an apprentice to you, if you don't want to take it, you can also collect it for me, I've been busy lately, and I'll come to you for a drink next time!"

Hua Qiangu and Xuanyuan Lang put down the hand covering their ears with a helpless expression.

"This is the sound snail, you show this to Qingxu Lao Dao, he will know!"

"Master, that......"

"Fuck you, why don't you give me a twist and a fart!"

Xuanyuan Lang looked at Hua Qiangu, who was happily holding the sound conch: "We're all here, why don't we accompany him to Maoshan by the way?" I don't know why I was suddenly reluctant.

"No!" Luo Hedong frowned, "Your old man sent a letter last night to let us rush back, and the world has changed recently, I don't know if something happened in the palace!

He didn't care about it for two years, so something big must have happened in such a hurry.

Xuanyuan Lang held Hua Qiangu's hand and said, "My master and I have to go back quickly, I can't send you up the mountain, you have to be more careful yourself! If there is anything, take that magata, go to the official mansion anywhere, let them help, or let them send a letter saying that they want to find me!"

"Okay!" Hua Qiangu looked at him gratefully, "Don't worry, I've come all the way alone, nothing will happen!"

"It's a pity you're a boy......" Xuanyuan Lang lowered his head and muttered.

"Actually, I'm ......"

"Otherwise, I'll take you in and marry you!" regulated Lang.

was so frightened that Hua Qiangu stuck the second half of the sentence in his throat and didn't dare to say it again.

"You worship me as a brother!" he had never tried to see it at first sight with such an abnormal heartbeat, and tried hard to maintain the bond between the two.

"Okay, Brother Lang!" Hua Qiangu smiled with relief. couldn't help but hold Xuanyuan Lang's hand tightly, does this mean that from now on in this world, she finally has a relative?

Luo Hedong frowned slightly on the side, but he didn't say anything, just urged.

"Okay, goodbye, let's go!"

"Well, there will be a period in the future!"

"There will be a period later!"

Hua Qiangu watched dumbfounded, Luo Hedong untied the gourd from his waist, and turned into a big one floating in the air. Pulled Xuanyuan Lang and sat on the gourd, and then flew into the air.

Xuanyuan Lang looked at the smaller and smaller figure below, and waved to himself hard, although he had only known each other for a short day. But I don't know why he just thinks he's important.

"As soon as I'm done, I'll go up to Maoshan to find you! You wait for me!" Xuanyuan Lang shouted to her.

"Okay—" Hana Chigu watched him disappear farther and farther away into the clouds. Holding the transsonic snail gloomily in his heart, he was ready to continue his journey. Digging Hahamao Mountain is right in front of her! She will soon be able to become a Taoist priest! Then she can fly in the air like Brother Lang and his master in the future!

"Boy, you still don't have too much to do with her, it's not good for you!" Luo Hedong had already seen that Hua Qiangu was a girl, but he didn't say anything.

"Why?"

"She's born an ominous person, in short, it's best not to see her in the future!"

Xuanyuan Lang looked at the floating clouds beside him and said coldly: "I don't care about this, I want the world to be in my hands, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to go against this little Qiankun!"

Luo Hedong's body was shocked, and he turned his head to look at him, and he was very relieved. Xuanyuan Cang, you didn't hand over your son to me in vain!
