Chapter 14: Midland

When everyone looked at Situ Ping's frightened gaze, sure enough, there was a skeleton of Bai Sensen leaning on a sour jujube tree about four or five zhang away on the right hand, and the black skull eye sockets were staring at this side, and everyone immediately stood on end, and the hand holding the weapon was also tight.

It is said that Situ Ping is also a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, he has seen a lot of bloody scenes, and he has done a lot of murder and arson, how can he be frightened by this little skeleton? However, the murderous name of this sour jujube forest, this endless fog, and this bleak weather. There were also people who mentioned the heart of the throat and eyes, prompting her to cry out, Yanming Jushi and the others stopped, waited for a while, and did not see any movement of the skeleton, everyone started again, Situ Ping was a little embarrassed, but the rest of the people did not blame her for anything, in this unknown environment, anyone will have emotional out-of-control, everyone is concerned.

As the group deepened, the number of white bones encountered gradually increased, and even appeared many times on the walking route, and everyone did not dare to avoid it, and crossed directly from above. There are many human skeletons, and there are even more skeletons of various animals, thinking that the animals that have strayed into the dense forest for so many years have innocently broken into this strange and mysterious place, and they are lost here, and they can no longer get out, and they turn around to exhaust their physical strength, and Zuihou lies under the sour jujube tree, wailing and passing away. Thinking of this, the group became even more cautious, and some of the thoughts of exploring the power of the dense forest were completely dispelled, these people were originally selected by the elders to act carefully and resolutely, and they would not give up their lives for a little curiosity in their hearts.

This dense forest seems to be endless, after walking for a long time, it is still the same scene, if it is not for the appearance of different white bones, everyone thinks that they have been lost, fortunately there is no danger along the way, everyone will stabilize their minds, just want to continue to move forward, so as to get out of this dense forest as soon as possible.

After walking for a long time, Situ Ping's mind as a snake on the ground is a little lively, and this may be what Jing Ji thinks, I don't know what other people think, Situ Ping's mind is indeed moving. The Evil Tiger Gang was originally based in Lu Town, and this Shiren Peak is also within the Shili range of the Evil Tiger Gang, although they knew that the Five Claw Peak here had this dangerous place, but they didn't know the way to enter, and they couldn't enter this place in vain, but now that they know the method, isn't this their own backyard in the future? It's just that the other four shili are much older than themselves, how are they going to deal with this secret place? Or after they are useless, they will be regarded as an outcast? Their lives may be worried.

Just when Situ Ping was suffering from gains and losses, thinking about the future, her feet suddenly tripped over the roots of the tree and her body fell diagonally, it was a coincidence, at this time they were walking very close to the edge of the two trees, Situ Ping felt that his body was out of balance, and immediately retracted his thoughts, and with a kick in the air, his body stood up lightly and landed firmly on the ground. However, the position had deviated from the range between the two trees, standing next to a sour jujube tree, and suddenly such a change occurred, and the rest of the people stopped, Yanming Jushi, Ma Xiangyang and Wen Wenhai also turned to look at Situ Ping, Ma Xiangyang looked at the root of the tree on the ground, and his eyes were thoughtful. Everyone waited for Situ Ping to come from under the tree and then move forward together, but at this time, a strange scene happened, Situ Ping turned around and looked around, his eyes swept over everyone, and he didn't seem to see it, Situ Ping's face showed a panicked look, and he was looking around, ready to move but put down his footsteps, and did not dare to make abnormal actions. Situ Ping's mouth shape was changing, as if he was calling out to everyone, but everyone couldn't hear the sound, and when the Yanming monk saw this, he hurriedly said to Situ Ping with a sound transmission: "Did you hear it?" At this time, Situ Ping's face showed ecstasy, the chicken kept nodding like eating rice, and the Yanming monk said: "Turn left, listen to my orders, and stop if you want to stop." Situ Ping nodded again, faced everyone according to the instructions of Yanming Jushi, and then walked towards everyone, which was also strange, Situ Ping walked four or five steps, and arrived at the place where the two trees where everyone was located, Situ Ping's eyes immediately lit up, and he saw everyone.

Yanming didn't ask Situ Ping the reason for his fall, but just asked, "What did you see just now?" Situ Ping said with palpitations: "When I stood up, there were still the same sour jujube trees around me as here, no difference, but I couldn't see you, and no one responded when I shouted loudly, if you didn't talk to me, I would be ready to look around again." ”

Yanming Jushi frowned and thought, Ma Xiangyang said to Situ Ping with a smile: "Situ Gang Master must pay attention when walking, if you are not careful, you will lose your life, and the foundation of Luzhen Dahaode is someone else's, take care." Situ Ping bowed his head and said, "Young Master Ma, I know, I will be careful." ”

On the next road, everyone became more and more cautious, knowing that this dense forest is not as calm as it seems on the surface, and once there is a mistake, being trapped in it, will be sent here. Situ Ping didn't know, but everyone just now knew, it was useless to shout loudly, you could only use sound transmission to enter the secret, this esoteric martial art is not everyone knows, and it is better to be careful than to pin your hopes on others.

After walking about four or five pillars of incense, the white bones on the road gradually decreased, and the fog became thinner, and I saw that I had walked to the edge of the dense forest. Sure enough, it didn't take long to see a light in the distance, and the Yanming monk still led everyone to move forward in a roundabout way according to the mantra, and was more careful. The accident did not happen, and the group walked through a tree according to the mantra and walked out of the dense forest safely, and they were greeted by a world that stunned them.

In front of them was a warm and dense land, the area of this land was not very large, in the middle was a large lake, the surface of the lake rose white mist, there was a stone hut by the lake, and around the hut were several fields, planted with plants, and it was impossible to see it from afar.

Under the leadership of Yanming Layman, everyone stepped into this place that no one had set foot in for hundreds of years.

"According to the pamphlet, there is no danger in entering the secret land, and everyone can move around with confidence, but for the sake of safety, I suggest that everyone act together and follow me." Then, walking towards the lake.

When everyone walked to the lake, a burst of heat came to their faces, and they saw the lake gurgling up with small bubbles, Yanming squatted down, first found a branch and put it in the water, saw that there was nothing abnormal, thinking about how to know the heat of the lake, Tan Wu stepped forward, took out an egg from his arms, and said curtly: "I like to drink raw eggs, and there are still a few left yesterday that I haven't eaten." This is a good time to test the heat of the water. Then he wrapped it in cloth and put it in the lake, and after a short time he took out the egg, and sure enough, it was cooked. Now, everyone's desire to go into the water has been dispelled.

It seems that the temperature between this heaven and earth is very different from the outside, which should be related to the water of this lake.

Everyone walked along the edge of the lake and walked towards the only stone house, presumably the treasure that everyone was looking forward to should be inside. After walking half a circle along the lake, there were no animals in sight, and there was no danger, so everyone's hearts were put down, and it seemed that the owner's suicide note was not deceiving.

The stone house is surrounded by several medicinal fields, most of the medicinal materials planted in it do not know, after all, they are not pharmacists in special sects, even the knowledgeable Yanming monks only know a few of them, such as Tian Qi, ginseng, atractylodes, golden sunflowers, etc., and these medicinal materials that are very ordinary outside are extremely precious when they arrive here. Not to mention other unknown drugs, which should be something that has been lost over the years. Let's not talk about what is in the stone house, even if it is the medicine in this medicine garden, it is a priceless treasure for all sects.

So everyone looked at these precious things with their eyes in amazement, thinking about how to bring them back. Yanming Jushi frowned and said to everyone: "I didn't expect such precious medicinal materials to be cultivated here, which is beyond our expectations." I don't know how to take it out, let's go to the stone house first, and then find a way when we come out, anyway, these medicinal materials don't have long legs, they can't run, so you don't have to be greedy. Everyone smiled and followed the monk to the stone house.

It's a very simple stone house, so simple that there are no doors. Yanming monk walked to the empty door, he didn't dare to go in, although the book is very clear, there is no mechanism here, but the heart of the guard is indispensable, he thought about it, picked up the stone from the ground, threw it in, listened to it, only the sound of the stone landing, no other movement, Yanming monk then walked into the stone house with a dagger in hand, and the others also followed.

The stone house looked small from the outside, but when they arrived inside, everyone found that the area was quite large, and it looked like a hall, not a living room as everyone imagined. And the hall is not full of dust because no one has come for a long time, but because there is no door, good ventilation, and there is no smell of dust in the room.

Directly opposite the hall is a smooth wall, the top is empty, it feels like there should be a portrait or something to worship before, under the wall is a long table and a square table, there is an incense burner on the long table, far away from the incense burner, there is a square flat small box, and on the table below the long table, there are four square brocade boxes at random, antique appearance, the pattern is also not there now. There are three chairs on either side of the square table, all arranged casually, and each chair has a futon. On the wall on the left hand of the people there is nothing but a hole in it, presumably a window, and on the wall on the right hand there are three paintings: a man in a brocade robe, holding a sword in his hand, riding on a horse, a scholar in white with a sword hanging from his waist, walking on a small bridge, and a woman with a white veil on her face, standing beside a small bridge with a long whip in her hand.

The three paintings have been eroded by the years, and they are no longer very clear, and the three paintings do not have any handwriting, so people can't understand what they mean, and everyone can't tell if there is a one-armed swordsman in them.
