The universal system is a bit cute

Chapter 227 What is this place

This is the first time for Akita to come to the back mountain of Huanyueju.

Before this, she had only seen it on the map provided by the system.

She knows that the back mountain occupies a very large area, and also knows that the back mountain is steep, and the back mountain can be seen from the mansion.

But the back mountain is always covered by a layer of fog. It's so hazy that you can only see a rough outline, but you can't see it too clearly.

After being dragged to the back mountain by Zuo Muchen, Akita Tian realized how extraordinary the back mountain is.

This is simply a fairyland, unlike what can be found in the world.

The forest is lush, the fairy mist is lingering, the water is murmuring, exotic flowers and plants are growing everywhere, and rare birds fly from the sky from time to time.

There is an indescribable faint fragrance in the air, which makes people feel refreshed.

Is this the treasure land where practitioners live?

Akita Tian was very puzzled, was it chosen for the Zuofu because of the unique geographical advantages of Houshan, or did Zuo Xiaoli transform it into such a shape?

Perhaps, both.

When Zuo Muchen reached the back mountain, his footsteps only paused slightly, and he dragged Qiu Tiantian towards a certain direction and ran over.

Akita followed closely behind him, ran over several slopes, crossed several streams, and finally came to a courtyard beside a mountain stream.

It was a small courtyard, a house built of logs, surrounded by a circle of bamboo fences, it was very simple, but it gave people a sense of seclusion.

Akita guessed that this should be the residence of a cultivator who likes to be quiet.

Zuo Xiaoli invited many practitioners as his aides, and it is said that most of them live in the back mountain.

She thought, maybe this is where the masked man lives.

Zuo Muchen stopped outside the bamboo fence gate, staring straight at the wooden house inside.

The bamboo fence gates are closed, and the doors and windows of the wooden houses are also closed, so it doesn't look like there are people living there.

If you look closely, the window paper is damaged and old, as if no one has lived in it for some years.

"Mu Chen, what is this place?" Akita Tian couldn't help asking.

Zuo Muchen didn't answer her, let go of her hand, pushed open the bamboo fence door and walked in.

Akita quickly followed.

Zuo Muchen walked to the center of the courtyard, staring straight at the closed door of the wooden house, his hands clenched tightly into fists, and his breathing became a bit heavier.

Seeing that he was nervous, Akita couldn't help tensing up.

But she didn't dare to say anything, for fear of irritating Zuo Muchen, she could only watch him silently, so that if she found something was wrong, she could help him in time.

Zuo Muchen took a step forward, and Akita Tian thought he would enter the house, so he also took a step forward.

However, Zuo Muchen suddenly yelled and covered his face with his hands.

Before Akita could react, he had already turned around, quickly ran out of the courtyard, and rushed forward.

Probably stimulated, his speed was astonishingly fast.

Akita Tian hurriedly chased after him.

Fortunately, her current physical fitness has improved a lot compared to the past, plus she has practiced the special skill Phantom Fight, she runs very fast, and she caught up with Zuo Muchen within a short distance.

"Mu Chen, what's wrong with you? Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Akita grabbed Zuo Muchen's arm and comforted him.

Zuo Muchen wanted to shake her off, but she held on tightly and couldn't.

Zuo Muchen didn't struggle anymore, and dragged Qiu Tiantian to continue running forward until he reached a small stream before stopping.

He sat slumped by the stream, staring at the slowly flowing stream in a daze.

Seeing that he was calmer than before, Akita didn't bother him anymore, but just held his hand tightly, squatted beside him, stared at his face, and paid attention to his emotional changes.
