Chapter 41: Rocky Hills

Then Bai Wan followed Chen Bei for about two quarters of an hour on the mountain, and came to a cliff that was not too high.

"When Brother Chen Mu was seven years old, I fell off this cliff and fell on a tree by luck. And my brother broke his arm when he climbed down the cliff in order to save me, and I was in a coma with him for a day, but fortunately I was found by a passing master, otherwise I would definitely not have survived now. Chen Bei pointed to the bottom of the cliff and said with a little fear.

Then Chen Bei described in detail the specific situation when he fell off the cliff......

"My agreement with him is that no matter who becomes a cultivator, they must go and see that master again!" Chen Bei looked at Bai Wan and said excitedly.

"Yes, who is the master, can you take me with you?" Bai Wan asked calmly.

"No, that master has never seen outsiders, only me and Brother Chen Mu. Although Chen Bei's answer was very naïve, Bai Wan didn't say much.

Her blue eyes stared down the cliff, and something seemed to be staring at her under the heavy black......

Sending Chen Bei away, Bai Wan returned to the edge of the cliff alone, and her black hair had turned bright silver, "I want to see what is hidden under this cliff, whether there is the so-called master hidden" Bai Wan snorted and jumped down.

After a while, she landed lightly at the bottom of the cliff, and it was still pitch black around her, without a trace of starlight.

In the darkness, only her eyes were as blue as the sky, and it seemed that she could see everything around her even if there was no light.

It did send a hint of surprise to her face. The whole forest was crawling with pitch-black beetles, and if you looked closely, each beetle had two heads, each with a large mouth full of saw-like teeth, and it was actually absorbing the sap of the tree.

Fortunately, these beetles understand the principle of symbiosis, and they did not destroy the sap of this precious tree species. Bai Wan seemed to know some of the functions of this Ling tree, and she was slightly excited to find such a large Ling Forest.

She carefully avoided the beetles on the ground and walked towards the mountain wall, where there was a deeper darkness that she could not see.

After a while, they came to the side of the mountain wall, and with a slight wave of the jade hand, the beetles that were climbing on the mountain wall quickly scattered, revealing the smooth mountain rocks.

"Thousand Beginnings Mixed Yuan Secret Method - Ice Needle Breaking Boundary!" This secret method is more comfortable than it was used on the mountain trail back then, and there is no need to rely on the spiritual power of others. With the sound of the enchantment shattering, Bai Wan walked into a pitch-black cave, "Why are there so many insect corpses?" Looking at the dried beetle shells all over the ground, Bai Wan paused, and then walked towards the depths of the cave with these insect corpses.

Not long after she left, a dark figure flashed out of the cave, stared at the black hole for a moment, and seemed to sigh.

After walking underground along the passage full of insect corpses for about an hour, she came to an underground room, and the space suddenly opened up, and there were several non-extinguishing oil lamps on the walls around her, reflecting the whole room in red.

Bai Wan slowly walked into the huge room, looking at the altar in the room, and the dried offerings, she remembered if she had seen anything similar at the dinner party. After a while, she picked up a bowl with a simple pattern and said softly, "It seems that those villagers are really not simple, what is the purpose of such a deep sacrificial room?" After speaking, she stroked her silk silver hair, which exuded a more silvery luster like a silver waterfall.

"What is this!" Bai Wan walked around the altar for a long time, and she screamed out when she had always been unfazed!

At this moment, the black shadow at the entrance of the cave took out a few round balls that looked like pills and threw them into the cave, and a loud noise came out without startling a black beetle, and then the entire entrance passage collapsed!

......

The sun just rose the next day, Chen Mu woke up from his sleep with a wine bottle, and the people sleeping around the bonfire were all drunk like mud villagers, and the old village chief was among them.

Chen Mu straightened his hair and clothes, looked left and right, and couldn't bear to wake up the eldest brother beside him, he planned to take advantage of Bai Yun's unknown whereabouts to go home directly.

Crossing a stream, Chen Mu finally returned to his hometown that he missed at night, and after a while with his parents, he took his sister back to his room. All the items and furnishings are still the same, the family has not moved anything, looking at these childhood memories, Chen Mu was sad for a while, and tears fell involuntarily.

"Let's relieve the hangover after drinking Ling tea!" Chen Bei didn't let this atmosphere last long, she cared about his brother very much, and didn't like his sad brother. This tea is made of Ling leaves, and everyone in their village loves to drink this kind of tea, but Chen Mu can't drink it every time, it's too bitter.

This time, the tea handed by his sister said that he would drink it, and Chen Mu drank it all, which was more pleasant than drinking. My sister looked at him with a smirk, probably waiting for him to spit out.

At this moment, a snow-white furry thing jumped on him, and it was the white fox he had met by the water mirror lake, which was now about the same age as the big yellow dog.

"Xiaobai, you look very good, are you still used to living in our house?" Chen Mu asked with concern as he hugged it.

"Brother, how do you know what you say, we don't take much care of it, every evening it goes back to the forest to forage for food, and the next morning it comes back to sleep, and when it wakes up, it plays with me, every day, it's much more worry-free than our rhubarb!" Chen Bei touched Xiaobai's head vigorously, and twisted together after a while.

"Yes, maybe Xiaobai lost his parents in that incident. Chen Mu lowered his head and muttered to himself.

"Brother, what do you want! Sister Bai Wan is giving you a holiday? Let's go and fulfill that agreement today!" Chen Bei asked happily.

"Today, where did Sister Bai Wan go, do you know, what happened to Shuijing Lake this time? I actually issued a mission in Xuanqing Gate, and yesterday I felt that everything was normal. Chen Mu asked with a frown, he didn't forget about the business he came this time.

Chen Bei pulled down Xiaobai who threw herself on her body and replied, "I saw her at dinner yesterday! I thought she was with you all the time, really." I don't know what the specific task is, when Brother Chen Xing comes back, you can ask him, it seems that an unknown beast has appeared by the lake and is destroying the forest. ”

"Alas, on this little matter, I still ask the Xuanqing Sect monk to solve it, hasn't the village chief always felt that the Xiuzhen Sect is all for physical fitness, and his old idea can finally keep up with the times. Let's go and complete that agreement first!, there's no rush for this task!" Chen Mu looked at Chen Bei and smiled a little evilly, nothing else was as important as playing with his sister.

The two packed up some food and drink and went on the road, talking and laughing all the way, looking at the touch, just like when he was a child, he felt that he had completely returned to the past, there was no cultivation, and there was no condensation, he was just a child, carefree.

At noon they were still following the route in the direction of Shuijing Lake, but after a while they turned left and reached the grass, and walked for an hour until they came to a nameless rocky hill.

There are hardly any plants in the area, and there are strange stones everywhere, some of which have a faint metallic sheen, as if they were some kind of ore.

"Be careful, sister, the stones here are still extremely sharp, don't cut your shoulders like when I was 7 years old!" Chen Mu said bitterly while wrapping his sister in anti-scratch bandages.

"Brother, you tie yourself up, you were the one who was injured that year!" Chen Bei didn't appreciate it, and ran away as soon as he tied an arm.

"Don't run! The stones here are too sharp, be careful of falling!" Chen Mu is a child himself, and he is also learning to speak with his elders, which is indeed very cute.

......

"Chen Bei!Chen Bei!Where are you!Come out!It's getting dark!" Chen Mu finally ran away from Chen Bei, and he was looking for it in a hurry.

After about half an hour, Chen Mu came to the mouth of the cave where he spent the night, which was his and his sister's secret base. Every time they come to play, they will stay here for one night and watch the beautiful starry sky together at the entrance of the cave.

"Brother, you're finally here! It's too slow! I've been waiting for you for a long time! Come in" Chen Bei was already in the cave, she called Chen Mu.

At this time, Chen Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief and shouted, "You come out first! I just caught a pheasant and roasted it over a fire!"

"No, brother, you come in first, I'm going to surprise you!" Chen Bei exclaimed again, as if his voice was farther away.

"Don't make a fuss, eat dinner first, come out quickly!" Chen Mu began to take care of the pheasant, and replied casually.

"Ah!!" Chen Bei suddenly shouted, Chen Mu hurriedly rushed into the cave, this hole was not deep, and soon it reached the deepest point, only a smooth stone wall!

"Chen Bei, Chen Bei!" Chen Mu shouted nervously again, he had been to this cave many times, and there was no place to hide people.

"Ha! Fooled brother!" Chen Bei suddenly patted Chen Mu's back, the same technique as Xia Xuejing's usual technique.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, and you're getting less and less worry-free!" Chen Mu took a deep breath, sure enough, the older he gets, the more things he fears.

I saw Chen Bei take out a necklace made of ore and hand it to Chen Mu, his expression was very cute, and he said: "I sent you! I took a month to polish the edges and corners of the ore, and I heard that this kind of stone helped you recover from the injury of your left arm!"

Chen Mu took the ore necklace and put it on his neck, his lips trembled and he couldn't speak, although his left arm injury had long since healed, but his sister still remembered it so attentively, which moved him.

Stroking the necklace that exuded a hint of coolness, Chen Mu also asked with concern: "Where were you hiding just now, don't make this kind of joke in the future, my heart can't stand it! Also, the anti-scratch bandage must be tied well, don't take it off casually." ”

"I squatted next to your leg when you turned around just now, of course you couldn't see it, your anxious look was so cute! The anti-scratch bandage was tied too tightly and it was inconvenient to run, and I lost it a long time ago, you won't feel sorry for the bandage money, right?"
