But seeing the man approaching closer, his face gradually became clear. Yan Dan couldn't help but sighed, "It's a pity..."

This oncoming man was a man in coarse cloth and linen. Muddy water was covered with a pair of wooden clogs and splashed all the way to the hem of his clothes. He has a roe-headed rat-eye, and his face is pocked like a starry star, and he is a little bit wretched to say how wretched it is.

The tall local man looked indifferent to the man: "Wu Shun, what are you doing to come into the mountain without problems?"

Wu Shun immediately smiled and took down the basket on his back to show them: "Isn't it going to come into the mountains to collect some herbs in exchange for silver? My family is almost unable to open the pot, if you are lucky, you can still catch snakes. Snake gall can be sold, snakes. Meat..." When he said this, he almost salivated.

Yan Dan sighed again.

Originally thought he was a character like a banal immortal, he turned out to be a medicinal-gatherer who couldn't tell how wretched. The look in her eyes is really getting worse.

The herb picker Wu Shun turned his head and saw Yan Dan, his mouth opened slightly, and he couldn't move his eyes anymore. It took a long time to come back to his senses and smack his lips, not knowing what dirty ideas he was playing.

Yan Dan was angry from the heart, wishing that a sword would strike him, immediately stretched out his hand to draw Tang Zhou's sword. Before she could do it, Liu Weiyang held her wrist calmly. Yan Dan was stunned, turning his neck to look at Young Master Liu beside him. Liu Weiyang looked at her, shook his head slightly, and then slowly released his hand.

When Wu Shun heard that they were going to climb Zhu Cuishan, he immediately walked eagerly to lead the way, turning his head from time to time and said two jokes. Yan Dan felt something was wrong with her wrist. It's impossible for Liu Weiyang to pull her wrist, Yan Dan is quite sure of this. Could it be that Liu Weiyang is not walking by her side anymore?

Who could it be? No matter who it is, as long as it is not the Palace Master of the Gods. When she thought of the Lord of the Gods Palace, she couldn't help but feel terrified. Although she hadn't fully seen Liu Weiyang's ability, she would not lose to Tang Zhou. It would be horrible if she was quietly dragged away by the palace master of the gods and left the corpse in the wilderness before such a short half-pillar incense.

Tang Zhou glanced at her and asked in a low voice, "Your face is blue and white, what's the matter?" He half-joked: "I won't be so scared that I won't be looked at for a few times?"

Yan Dan glanced at Liu Weiyang secretly, and slowly leaned against Tang Zhou: "Am I afraid of people watching? I'm not shameful."

Tang Zhou thought for a while, and stretched out his left hand to her: "If you are afraid, just pull me."

Yan Dan hesitated, do you pull it or not? If she pulls it, it would damage her self-esteem too much, but if she doesn’t pull it, it’s really a bit uneasy. Suddenly, she felt a gaze swept over her side, and she immediately sent her hand to Tang Zhou. Tang Zhou held it gently, and said with a smile: "Did you forget what you said in the cemetery?"

What was said in the cemetery? What she said at that time, there are twenty or thirty sentences less, which one does it mean?

Yan Dan thought about it for a while, and suddenly thought, could it be... "He won't really kill us, just a test"? In this way, Tang Zhou also noticed what happened after Liu Weiyang disappeared, which shows that all this is really not her illusion. If the current Liu Weiyang is pretending to be the Lord of the Gods, it means that he will not act on them for the time being. She had guessed about Liu Weiyang's identity at that time, and now it seems that she did not overestimate Liu Weiyang, but too underestimated the Lord of the Gods.

Because it was too long at first, when the sun went down, the group was still in the middle of the mountain.

The two locals swiftly cut the branches and came back, scratched them with flint and steel, and lit a fire. He took out a small casserole from his carry-on package, took the mountain spring, and cooked it on the fire. The herb picker Wu Shun immediately picked out Polygonatum from the basket, put it in the pot and boiled it together.

Several people divided a pack of steamed buns and roasted them over the fire until a few honeycomb-like openings appeared on the steamed buns, slowly showing a burnt color, and the pot of Huang Jing had also boiled, and it was only filling up their stomachs.

Yan Dan knew that Tang Zhou was invincible, and she was not afraid of mortal poisons, so she ate with peace of mind. Liu Weiyang was still as silent as usual, silent to the fire, as if he had endless thoughts.

When the group talked about dry food, they talked about night vigil. The two tall locals watched the first half of the night, while the other one and the herb picker Wu Shun watched the second half of the night. Seeing that they had arranged this way, Yan Dan went to sleep with her eyes closed next to the fire. She had never slept deeply, and would wake up at the slightest movement, and she was not afraid of what they did behind her back.

She slept in a daze, and when she woke up, it was in the middle of the moon. After the rain, the sky of the mountain stream was as clear as blue, starry, and especially bright. She looked around and saw that Liu Weiyang and Tang Zhou were still asleep, but the three people who watched the night were gone. She stood up gently, and walked very lightly towards the forest. After walking more than ten feet away, I saw a little flame on the slope. She approached slowly, and saw Wu Shun with a hemp rope tied around her waist, carefully climbing up the mountain road. The other end of the hemp rope was caught in the hands of the tall local man. His face was impatient and he said coarsely: "You kid, you're so slow, aren't you hurrying?!"

Wu Shun was only nonchalant, climbing three steps and then falling back one step, his hands and feet were soft and his movements were ugly. Yan Dan looked at him and sighed, but before he could finish his sigh, a terrible scream suddenly exploded in his ear. Wu Shun fluttered for a while, as if sinking into something, only half of his body was still on the mountain road.

Yan Dan moved her body quietly, trying to get closer, only to see that the tall local man suddenly cut the hemp rope with an axe, and Wu Shun's figure suddenly disappeared.

Yan Dan touched his chin, and thought that there were so many caves in the southwest. The ground seemed to be flat and solid, but it was actually hollow. The medicine collector probably fell into the cave. It's just that if the two locals wanted to pull him up, it shouldn't be a difficult task. It would be too vicious to cut the hemp rope with an axe.

Just listen to the short local people say: "Why don't you pull Wu Shun up? Anyway, it's in the same village."

"I don't think this kid is at all well-intentioned. He is not just thinking about a piece of pie. He will simply let him go if he falls now, and one less trouble." The tall locals snorted heavily, "Wait if they ask. When I got up, it was said that Wu Shun’s family had something urgent, and he left early. He fell like this, just to feed the mountain god, and it’s good for us."

Yan Dan was confused when she heard them, but seeing them turning back, she quickly slipped into the fire. When he was a dozen or so steps away, Tang Zhou was coming down the oblique mountain road, his face was not very good. Yan Dan said: "I just followed the three locals, they..." Tang Zhou made a silent gesture, and said lightly: "I have seen all the things you saw, this mountain road and that The sides are connected, and I followed Brother Liu after you left."

When it was just dark, the group continued on their way.

Yan Dan looked around and suddenly asked: "Hey, what about the medicinal picker named Wu Shun yesterday? Why didn't you see him early in the morning?"

The short local man laughed twice: "Last night, this kid remembered that there was something at home, so he went back to the village before dawn. When he left, you were not awake, so there was no or no greeting. ."

Yan Dan looked at him contemptuously: he couldn't even tell lies, he stubbornly knew it was not true when he heard it. "It turns out that he went back early in the morning... Strange, it's not summer yet, how do you just sweat?" She smiled slightly. The short local man had to laugh a few more times, shut his mouth and said nothing.

Tang Zhou gave her a warning and said in a low voice, "Yan Dan!"

Yan Dan sighed: "Even if you call my name thousands of times, I still won't understand what you are trying to say, right?" Persimmons are always picky, if the current Liu Weiyang is really the lord of the gods. If she pretends, it's better for her to bully Tang Zhou.

Tang Zhou was not angry, and slowly wrote the word "willow" on the palm of her hand. Yan Dan found it interesting, and took his handwritten word "Xiao". Tang Zhou shook his head and nodded. Yan Dan immediately understood that what he wanted to say was roughly that Liu Weiyang at the moment was probably not the original one, and it was difficult to say whether it was the Lord of the Gods Palace.

They write a word like this and I write a word, and it will soon fall to the end. The tall local man turned around and smiled and said, "I think you are like a couple running away from home, sticking together all the time."

Yan Dan looked at Tang Zhou stiffly, and forced a smile that was even worse than crying. Tang Zhou was indifferent: "We really ran out of the house to play. It was fair and honest, and it was not an elopement."

Yan Dan was stunned, Liu Weiyang also visibly stunned, Tang Zhou smiled and asked, "Is it right, Yan Dan?"

Yan Dan was very frustrated and couldn't wait to look up to the sky and scream: "No--" She just fell off, and the mountain road under her feet became loose, and she turned down with a grunt. Tang Zhou quickly reached out and grabbed her arm, but was swayed by the huge momentum of her fall, and the ground under his feet made a clear and pleasant "kala".

Both fell down at the same time.

Yan Dan only heard the whistling of the wind in his ears, and grabbed something that looked like a stalagmite. He only heard a click, the slender stalagmite was also broken. There was only one thought left in her mind. Could it be that she has been too comfortable recently and has become a lot fatter? Suddenly her wrist tightened, her body had not had time to stop the momentum of falling, and her other wrist was also caught. It's just that those two strengths came from two completely different directions, and Yan Dan almost fainted in pain.

She would rather just fall to the ground and smash her mouth, rather than hang in the air and be torn in half from the middle.

Just listen to Tang Zhou's voice slowly coming from above his head: "Yan Dan, you are really heavy."

Yan Dan hummed, "Nonsense, where's it sinking? The Shen family's wife Hu also said that I am as light as boneless!"

"Compared with Hu's wife, of course, you are as light as boneless."

"Shut up, shut up!" Yan Dan gritted his teeth. As soon as he raised his head and saw Liu Weiyang looking down at her, his eyes were deep, and her right hand was being held in his hand, and the cold sweat immediately came down, "Mr Liu, I am too heavy, will you let me down?"

Liu Weiyang smiled gently: "It's okay." The moment he laughed, the wind was really warm, the butterflies danced, and the flowers washed away.

Yan Dan immediately flattered: "Liu Gongzi, you look really good when you smile. But you should let go, we can't hang on here forever, right?"

Liu Weiyang restrained and smiled slightly: "After I let go, it doesn't matter if you go on like this?"

Yan Dan said obediently: "It's okay, it's okay, let go."

Liu Weiyang immediately let go.

Yan Dan only felt that his body sank downward, and his left wrist made a creak, and he quickly said loudly, "Tang Zhou, don't you let go? My hand is about to break!"

Tang Zhou said, and let go. Yan Dan only felt his body sway forward slightly and slammed directly into the opposite rock wall. Fortunately, Liu Weiyang fell to the ground lightly, and kindly pulled her back.

Yan Dan gave a thump in his heart, and there was an unspeakable strangeness in his heart. It was obviously Liu Weiyang's face, but she had a very familiar feeling.

Suddenly the light above their heads dimmed, and mud continued to fall from the cave where they fell.

Tang Zhouhuang brightened the fire, only to see that the hole on the top had been blocked by a piece of granite, and the cave in front of him turned nine and eight turns, not knowing where to lead.

The southwest area is rainy, the stratum foundation is unstable, and there are many caves in the ground. Most of the caves are connected, and walking in is like walking into a maze, getting more and more confused as you go. The two locals were really ill-intentioned and led them to places with many karst caves, and when they fell down, they sealed the hole on the roof.

Most of their attempts to do this are to make money and kill them? It's just... he suddenly remembered that the tall local man had said that Wu Shun went to feed the mountain **** last night. Could it be that... he turned his head and saw Yan Dan happily pounced on Liu Weiyang, beaming with his arms Neck: "Master!"

But seeing a faint green glow rising from Liu Weiyang's body, his appearance gradually changed, such as the black hair suddenly grew a lot, his eyebrows were handsome, and the corners of his mouth still had a smile, vivid and handsome.

Yan Dan rubbed his cheeks and said softly, "Lord, you have become thin and dark... Your skin is not smooth enough..."

"Lian Qing's complexion is pretty good, she has weighed five catties and six bucks..." Yu Mo picked her up and said with a smile, "Even the waist is half an inch thick..."

Tang Zhou coughed heavily, "Where is Brother Liu?"

Yu Mo said lightly: "I stopped him when he entered the mountain. This person is not that simple."

Yan Dan couldn't help but said, "But he didn't do any bad things along the way."

Yu Mo stretched out his hand and squeezed the tip of her nose gently: "Do you remember one time when he got up in the middle of the night to play the flute? Do you think he was just playing the flute? You entered the mountains and were trapped in the Fuxi gossip array , It was laid out in advance by someone."

Yan Dan immediately understood: "So you changed people halfway and broke this formation again?"

Yu Mo smiled and nodded: "But you didn't recognize me at the beginning, and you were terribly scared, huh?" Yan Dan pursed his lips slightly: "You don't know how terrifying the Lord of the Gods is. What do you look like... But then, who is Liu Weiyang, who is also the subordinate of Palace Master Shenxiao?"

"I don't know." Yu Mo turned to look at Tang Zhou and slowly said, "Zhu Cui Mountain in the southwest, not far from Jinghu Lake, you don't have to go to the Yi people to look for ancient artifacts. Because of this artifact, early It fell into the hands of the Palace Master of the Gods."

Tang Zhou looked at him: "You know where the Jinghu Shuiyue is, and you also know that the ancient artifact is not in the hands of the Yi people but in the hands of the Lord of the Gods. I believe what you said. But how did you know?"

Yu Mo said calmly: "I've been to Jinghu Shuiyue, and I've seen Palace Master Shenxiao twice."

Yan Dan looked at Yu Mo, then at Tang Zhou, only to feel that the atmosphere between them was like a tight bowstring.

"So, how can I get to Jinghu Shuiyue now?"

Yu Mo smiled lightly: "I don't know."

Yan Dan couldn't help but whispered: "Yu Mo..." He said that he had been to Jinghu Shuiyue before, but he didn't know how to go. It was the worst lie.

Yu Mo lowered his head to look at her, calmly, "Why, don't you believe it?"

Yan Dan thought for a while: "Although it sounds impossible, I still believe it."

Tang Zhou hugged his arms and said lightly: "Unless a reasonable explanation is given, I am afraid that even a child will not believe this kind of statement."

Yan Dan suddenly felt that the cold hair stood upright, and Yu Mo and Tang Zhou fought to the death the first time they met. With the previous grievances, I am afraid that this journey will be troublesome.
