By the ninth day, the horse caravan had crossed the north and south, and had traveled 9,000 miles.

It was the end of summer, and the weather in the north was hot during the day and cold at night.

This night, they camped at the foot of the boundary mountain, with their backs against the mountain wall to shield them from the cold wind.

Due to the cold, Xie Gongbao couldn't sleep after tossing and turning in the shed.

Tu Jiaojiao covered a thin blanket and barely fell asleep.

But she didn't fall asleep, and inexplicably snorted.

Xie Gongbao asked, "Why haven't you fallen asleep?"

Tu Jiaojiao said angrily: "Yes, of course you want me to fall asleep, and when I fall asleep, she will come and hug you." If she doesn't hug you now, you won't be able to sleep, won't you? Hmph, what's so good about her, isn't she four years older than me, and when I'm seventeen, I'll definitely look a hundred times better than her. ”

Xie Gongbao's face turned red and said, "Nonsense, she has no place to sleep." ”

Tu Jiaojiao pointed her finger at the curtain door, and her eyes were so angry that her eyes straightened: "You go outside to see the sky, what time is it, why didn't she come? ”

Xie Gongbao didn't want to talk to her about these inexplicable idle things: "What does the little girl know, you sleep with yours." ”

Tu Jiaojiao twisted her body, kicked her legs and kicked him: "You hate it! You are not allowed to call me a little girl in the future!"

"Sleep well, don't play without fun. Xie Gongbao was afraid of her, so he simply lifted the curtain and went out, so as not to entangle with her.

For some reason, he was empty tonight, and he didn't want to sleep. At this moment, he was looking forward to it, and looked at the dark place. But looking at it, he felt that he was ridiculous, how could he rely on Bai Luoyi, could he really make Tu Jiaojiao right? This thought came here, and he felt that women were really terrible, which made him unsettled. - Eliminate distractions, feel so cold, see that there are still a few piles of sparks burning outside the shed, I want to build a bonfire to get rid of the cold.

He stiffened his body and went to the side of the mountain lightly to collect a lot of firewood.

But when he was about to come back with firewood and make a fire, he overheard someone talking.

The sound of the voice came from Ma Baolong's cloth shed, and judging from the sound, it was Ma Baolong and Bai Luoyi who answered. - Xie Gongbao didn't want to eavesdrop and was about to leave, but after listening to two sentences, he suddenly froze stupidly. First of all, Ma Baolong's voice came to his ears:

"Cousin, you're working so hard tonight, haven't you made that kid burn in the past few days?"

"You also said that if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have let that wild boy take advantage. ”

"Okay, okay, my cousin knows that you have been wronged, I keep in mind your kindness to my cousin, as long as you get the colorful spirit egg, it will be a miracle, and when the Nalan sect leader will definitely lend me the "Ending Law Sutra" to read, as long as you learn one and a half skills, then my cousin's cultivation will leap thousands of miles. ”

"You only care about yourself, when have you taken care of me. ”

"Why don't I ignore you, if you coax that kid these days, I won't be able to sleep all night, for fear that that kid will bully you. However, you still have a way to coax him around, not only did he not suffer any loss, but he also asked clearly. Hehe, I still can't believe that the colorful spirit egg is actually related to this wild boy, I thought Xuan Xianliu had already succeeded, it seems that they are also busy in vain. ”

"It's a pity that the kid's mouth is too tight, and I can't coax him. ”

"It doesn't matter, when I get to the Yefu Stele Forest, I will pick a layer of skin on him every day, and I am not afraid that he will not recruit him. ”

Hearing this, Xie Gongbao only felt that the sky was falling apart, and his heart was broken.

What is not always a gentleman, what sister or brother, it is all deception.

He was resolute and cried less, and at this time he was so sad that he shed tears of shame.

At this time of crisis, he did not dare to listen stupidly.

When he returned to the shed, he woke up Tu Jiaojiao: "Get up quickly, follow me." ”

Seeing the panic on his face, Tu Jiaojiao asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Don't ask, hurry. "Xie Gongbao is in a hurry, he has been with wolves for the past nine days, the more he thinks about it, the more terrifying it becomes. He didn't wait for Tu Jiaojiao to comb it, he pulled her and ran out, touched the side of the mountain lightly, and ran up the mountain along a path.

......

......

This boundary mountain spans more than 3,000 miles from east to west and is connected with the sea.

It is also 500 miles deep from south to north, and the mountains are undulating and unimaginably large.

At this time, the mountains are verdant, and there are beast roars at night where the shadows of the trees are fluttering, which is very terrifying. Xie Gongbao didn't care about the mountain spirit beast, and led Tu Jiaojiao up the mountain to spread his legs and keep running, and he dared to sit on the ground and rest after turning over two mountains. - Tu Jiaojiao's eyes were lively, she guessed some, and walked over to wipe his sweat considerately: "Why do you think about running away? Is she bad with you? I know that she is not a good person." ”

Xie Gongbao was ashamed of the past, and reflexively drank: "Enough!

Tu Jiaojiao stomped her feet and snorted angrily, beating the grass with a mutton fat jade flute: "What are you yelling at me, I didn't make a bad deal with you!"

Xie Gongbao suddenly felt that people were tired and tired, and said, "Stop bickering, let me rest for a while, okay?"

"Okay, then you lie on my lap and rest. Tu Jiaojiao smiled and sat on the ground and patted her thighs.

Xie Gongbao didn't want to pay attention to her, hugged his legs, and looked at the moon sadly. - He was homesick when he saw the moon, and his heart was desolate. The disaster of exterminating the clan is not far away, have the patriarch and senior brother escaped the strangulation? Although the family is no longer there, the nostalgia is still strong, and now thousands of miles away from home, above the northern regions, only this round of bright moon is familiar, and the heart of homesickness can be pinned.

Tu Jiaojiao saw that he didn't care about herself, and reached out to pinch his waist: "You like to lie on her legs, I'm ...... I hate you to death!"

Xie Gongbao rubbed his pinched waist and looked at her with his eyes narrowed.

Suddenly felt that Tu Jiaojiao was the same as the moon, with the familiarity of her hometown.

But isn't it, along the way, the only thing that has remained unchanged from south to north is the light of the moon and Tu Jiaojiao's mind. They depend on each other, heart to heart, life to life, how can they be summed up by the word familiar. With this feeling, Xie Gongbao was about to get angry, but at this time, his eyes softened: "After resting, let's go." ”

Tu Jiaojiao put her arm on his shoulders and jumped on his back: "I don't have the strength, you carry me." ”

......

......

In this way, he traveled for more than ten miles, and at dawn a bottomless abyss blocked the way.

There was a thick layer of white mist floating in the abyss, about dozens of feet long and wide, and it was difficult to see the edge. Their cultivation was shallow, and they naturally couldn't step through, so they walked all the way along the abyss, wading through a pine forest, and then came to a steep slope.

There was a lonely grave piled up on that slope, and it was a little gloomy.

Just as he was about to step forward, he saw Tu Jiaojiao go up: "Oh! There are ghosts!"

Xie Gongbao looked in the direction of her finger, and there was a white shadow standing in front of the grave, looking terrible like a ghost. Xie Gongbao forced his composure: "It's almost dawn, where is the ghost, just go, don't be afraid." He walked cautiously step by step, walked closer, and looked again, the white shadow was not another, but Zou Qi.

The two of them looked at each other, thinking, why is he here?

Playing a drum in his heart, he didn't dare to hesitate, and walked quickly past Zou Qi.

However, Zou Qi didn't pay attention to them at all, staring at the tombstone, mourning:

Ten years in a trance, he was ordered to steal the scriptures;

There is a confidant in the north of the underworld, and the piano is a fairy marriage.

The world is stormy, and the ghost hooks the soul of his wife;

Drive the feather back to Xuan Xian, and kill one person with a sword.

Hearing this poem, Tu Jiaojiao sighed and looked at the stele.

I saw that the tombstone was written, which was "the tomb of Bai Jiwen and Fang Xiqiao".

Tu Jiaojiao looked at the tombstone as if she saw a relative, her nose suddenly became sore, and she wiped her tears and cried: "Uncle Bai, Aunt Fang, it turned out to be you!" Ignoring Zou Qi on the side, she cried and pounced in front of the tomb: "Uncle...... When my uncle was alive, he talked about you every day, and now that he is dead, do you see him? If you hear me, tell your uncle, and ...... Let's just say that Jiaojiao misses him, woo woo ~~~. ”

Xie Gongbao didn't expect her to lose control, so he stepped forward to pick her up and left.

Zou Qi frowned, his face was full of suspicion, and he asked, "Little girl, do you have anything to do with my Uncle Bai?"

Xie Gongbao hinted that Tu Jiaojiao didn't want to answer, and hugged her faster and faster.

After the incident of Bai Luoyi, Xie Gongbao no longer dared to be gullible. Although he has a good impression of Zou Qi, he doesn't know his face, not to mention that he is also wary of Xuan Xianliu, it is best not to talk at this time, otherwise the disaster will come out of his mouth, and life and death will be tied to the hands of others. ——As he walked briskly, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Young master, young lady! Where are they!"

Xie Gongbao glanced back, and a group of people rushed to the side of the mountain in the distance.

The leader is none other than Bai Luoyi and Ma Baolong.

Xie Gongbao was shocked and shouted, "Run!"
