The evening breeze is blowing.

The vast sky, dotted with stars, fireworks and splendor, seems to be full of flowers.

Quietly, under the cedars on the top of the green and dark mountains, Qin Chuan and A Luo Ye leaned against each other, driving away the guards beside them, away from the noisy center of the temple, only enjoying the silence of the two of them.

Peacefulness.

"Look, I said that the fireworks in Jingzhou are the biggest and most beautiful. ”

Qin Chuan smiled lightly, pointed to the distance with one hand, and said to A Luo Ye in his arms.

"Where?"

Hearing this, A Luoye stood up and looked tiptoe, but he didn't have Qin Chuan's eyesight, thousands of miles away, except for the vast night, where could he see it. Immediately, he glanced at Qin Chuan, sat back again, and muttered, "I can't see it again." ”

"Hey, hey. ”

Qin Chuan chuckled, and unconsciously, he grabbed A Luoye's shoulder.

But he looked at the sky, and the moonlight sprinkled between the sky and the earth, reflecting the snow everywhere, was a beautiful scenery that he had never seen before...... No, I hadn't noticed it before.

What is the purpose of seeking the Tao with all one's heart?

The so-called supreme way, whether it is the exclusive respect of heaven and earth, or the freedom of the four seas, but at this moment, I feel that it is not as peaceful as this moment, and it is not as warm as this moment.

What is the Tao?

In the beginning, was it my own fault? Was it myself, lost?

Qin Chuan's eyebrows froze, and he was a little firm.

Just wait......

......

The heavy snow of the old year began to melt after Chinese New Year's Eve.

After staying on Qingming Mountain for three days, Qin Chuan finally decided to set off to find the acacia stream. Regardless of whether he chose the wrong path in the first place and got involved in this chaotic world of cultivation, it is impossible to give himself another chance to choose now. It's better to get lost than to be in a hurry.

Shangguan Yao is still waiting for herself.

"Then what Acacia Jian is in Zhongzhou, it will be easy to do. ”

In front of the mountain gate of Qingming Mountain, Ye Qiuqi put his arm on Qin Chuan's shoulder and said, "The east and north regions of Zhongzhou are rich and prosperous places in the Central Plains, and it is unlikely that Shangguan Yao's temperament will be there; ”

As he spoke, he glanced back at Qin Chuan, "Is my analysis right?"

Qin Chuan nodded.

Speaking of which, Ye Qiuqi is also a person who has been cultivating in the same sect as Shangguan Yao for several years, and this kind of analysis is exactly the same as what he thinks in his heart.

"But ......"

Suddenly, Ye Qiuqi said again, "I've thought about it for a long time, and there is no place name in Zhongzhou, which is probably similar to your hatred." Even if you determine the approximate location, it can be difficult to find it. ”

Hearing this, Qin Chuan pursed his lips.

The meaning of Ye Qiuqi's words, I don't know. In desperation, he was the enemy of the world and turned his back on the person in his heart, so he named an unknown cave "Leaving Hatred";

Acacia......

"Let's go, we only have more than ten days. ”

With a sigh, Qin Chuan sacrificed the dragon's back, and the sword flew in the southeast direction.

"I don't understand, how can you be sure that Shangguan Yao is really in that so-called Acacia Stream. ”

Ye Qiuqi muttered and followed. I don't know if I have doubts about the little girl who passed the word that day. After all, such an inexplicable place name looks like a trap no matter how you look at it.

Of course, it's safer to travel with two people.

In this way, Ye Qiuqi also followed Qin Chuan.

“......”

Ahead, Qin Chuan seemed to have heard of Ye Qiuqi's words, but he didn't dare to look back. Because he knew that at this time, Aluoye was watching his back from afar at home.

There, home.

......

South of Midstate.

Adjacent to the realm of Youzhou, the mountains stand tall, and unlike the barrenness of Changzhou, it can be said that it is a poor mountain and bad water, and the danger is complicated. The melting snow flows down the mountain, babbling endlessly.

Of course, it is an excellent retreat for cultivators.

An unknown city, located in a rare flat land among the mountains, does not seem too lively in the New Year's season, and is silent in the neighing of birds and beasts from time to time.

Heaven and earth are silent.

Seven days have passed since I searched all the way.

Qin Chuan and Ye Qiuqi ran around the land of Zhongzhou for days, but they still didn't get the slightest message, and they didn't get water and rice for several days. And more importantly, the two of them have already noticed that there is a dark door secretly following, and if they fight in such a state, there is no way.

A restaurant in the city, the two of them sat opposite each other.

"Further south, it's Youzhou. ”

Picking up the chopsticks and putting the food into his mouth, Ye Qiuqi sighed inarticulately.

Qin Chuan didn't speak, but he didn't complain, at this moment, he just let out the Yuan Spirit and peeked around, and he always felt that there was a few breaths that had been locking on the two of them. Among them, there should be another person with extremely high cultivation.

"You say, is it stalking you or mine?"

Thinking about it, Qin Chuan asked in a deep voice.

Since leaving Changzhou, there have been people who have been following in secret, but they have not made a move, but as time goes by, the number of people has increased, and they can't guess the other party's purpose at all.

"Whatever, if you fight, you will fight!"

Ye Qiuqi replied, and didn't seem to care much.

Come to think of it, since Xuantian Yujian's secret was exposed to the Dark Gate, he has not experienced such a situation as he is now. Xuantian Yujian suppressed the Demon Dao greatly, and there was no person like the Green Dragon and White Tiger, and the other party did not dare to make a rash move. What's more, at this time, there is one more Qin Chuan.

The best of the devil's path, the way of the demons.

"Hmph. ”

Qin Chuan chuckled, raised his glass, and took a sip.

Yes, if you fight, you will fight!

That's all.

"Oh! Why is this pepper so spicy!"

Suddenly, only to hear Ye Qiuqi smack, his face instantly turned red, he hurriedly put down the chopsticks in his hand, quickly picked up the kettle and poured a glass of water, and poured the cow drink into his stomach.

“......”

Qin Chuan was speechless.

However, when the restaurant guy on the side saw this, he greeted him, and with a little apology and a little ridicule on his face, he saluted the two of them and replaced them with a pot of tea.

"The two guests are not locals, our chili peppers here are notoriously spicy. If you feel uncomfortable, I'll ask the kitchen to make a new one for you. ”

"No...... No. ”

Immediately, Ye Qiuqi couldn't help exhaling, but stopped it. Presumably, according to his heart, he also felt very excited. What's more, if a person who cultivates the truth, if he deliberately takes precautions, this bit of spiciness, is nothing at all.

"No need. ”

Qin Chuan waved his hand and said jokingly, "This friend of mine is just trying to challenge him." ”

"Hehe, a female guest officer from out of town said the same thing a few days ago. ”

The guy laughed, "I listen to the accents of the two of you, it should be from the north, right? We rarely have outsiders here, so the taste of the dishes is not much, and they are all spicy, if it is ......"

"Wait!"

Suddenly, Qin Chuan's eyebrows froze.

The castle was not built on an official road, and ordinary traders rarely came here, so it can be said that it is an isolated place. "Female guest officer from other places", could it be......

"What do you command?"

"Where did you say the female guest officer from the other day went?"

Qin Chuan asked, glancing at Ye Qiuqi, as if he had caught some clue.

Receiving Qin Chuan's eyes, Ye Qiuqi was also stunned, then smiled slightly, and explained to the guy: "The two of us are here to find someone, maybe, I came to you a few days ago." ”

"Oh, the female guest officer then went east. ”

The people here are simple, and the guy didn't have any suspicions, "By the way, she also lost something in the store, and I'll go and take it with the two of you, yes or no, you can see at a glance." ”

"Thank you. ”

Qin Chuan thanked him, and his gloomy mood in the past few days seemed to have improved a lot.

Soon, the guy took out an item from the counter, walked to the table again, and handed it to Qin Chuan: "If it is really two acquaintances, then it is better to transfer it to the owner for the shop, this thing should be worth a lot of money." ”

“......”

Qin Chuan's face was stunned.

Just looked at the jade bottle in his hand, and didn't speak for a long time.

At this time, Ye Qiuqi looked at Qin Chuan intently, and then looked at the things in Qin Chuan's hand, his nose moved, but he was a little puzzled. In his opinion, it was unlikely that Shangguan Yao would use this thing, and he would never have imagined that Shangguan Yao would come to this restaurant to eat spicy ......

However, he didn't think he would know more about Shangguan Yao than Qin Chuan.

"Is that her?"

Thinking about it, Ye Qiuqi asked Qin Chuan.

......

A gentle breeze.

After the snow melts, the mountains are clear and warm.

Coming out of that city, Qin Chuan flew all the way with his sword, and sure enough, he found a mountain stream. Pouring down from between the two peaks, a curtain of water stretches into the sky. It also accumulates into a quiet stream, which flows slowly in the quiet mountains. The surrounding pine forests are luxuriant, the monkeys climb the rocks, and the white cranes play in the water, which is actually a natural resort.

Without the perception of the creation of heaven and earth, it would be impossible to find such a beautiful place.

“......”

At this time, Qin Chuan stood on a rock with his hands in his hands, looking at an inscription in front of him, and did not move for a long time.

"Whew!"

Suddenly, a flash of light fell beside him.

But it was Ye Qiuqi who smiled and climbed onto Qin Chuan's shoulder. Immediately, he quickly sensed the richness of the aura of heaven and earth here, and his expression moved, and he was a little surprised.

"Solved?"

Qin Chuan asked.

"What do you say?"

Ye Qiuqi asked rhetorically and chuckled. The two of them had discussed before, and they wanted him to go and lure away the scouts of the Dark Door who were following them. According to Qin Chuan's temperament, knowing that Shangguan Yao was here, he naturally couldn't bring those people over, otherwise, it would undoubtedly bring danger to Shangguan Yao.

Fortunately, there was no trouble.

"What's that word?"

Ye Qiuqi also followed Qin Chuan's gaze and landed on the inscription.

But I saw a stone tablet that was not big or small, the time was long, and it had weathered the wind and rain, but the two ancient seal characters engraved on it were still not the slightest bit incomplete. If you can't get it right, it's carved by the person who cultivates the truth.

"Hoo ......"

Hearing Ye Qiuqi ask, Qin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, he recognized those two words.

Immediately, he slowly responded:

"Acacia. ”
