When the magic flower blooms

"The Hidden Dragon Club?"

Ming Ruoxing had worked in the Yaan Bureau for seven years, and this was the first time he had heard of this name.From the analysis of this matter alone, the Qianlong Society is likely to have been destroyed, or at least it should not have been active for a long time.

At this moment, he can only seek help from his own mother.

"Can you go into more detail?"

"No."

Ming's mother's stubborn temper came to the fore again.

"It's been so many years, how can I still remember those. If you really want to know, go check the files in the bureau... But the level of confidentiality should be quite high. Even if you stay in the disciplinary committee obediently, you will go all the way step by step A promotion may not be enough even today."

There was something in her words, nothing more than blaming her youngest son for giving up his great future and going to the front line to do thankless things, and now he even made it difficult to do his job well, and ran to the village to farm with his partner.

Ming Ruoxing couldn't talk back, so he could only reluctantly nod his head: "Sure, then wait until I come down from the mountain some other day, and then I'll think of a way."

Afraid that his mother would continue to ask questions about emotions, Ming Ruoxing said hello and went back to find He Tiansi.But everyone reached the door, but they were stopped by Ming's mother again.

"Xiao Xing, Mom asks you, are you really going to be with that snake?"

"Mom!" Ming Ruoxing is not used to talking about this topic with his family: "Who can say for sure what will happen in the future."

Ming's mother emphasized: "Mom's question is not about the future, but what you think now."

"This is my own business. Besides, didn't you appreciate him before?"

"It's appreciation, but can appreciation be better than my own son's baby? What's more, I now feel that there are more mysteries in that kid than I imagined. If you hang out with him, if something big happens in the future, you will surely will be affected."

As a mother, she certainly does not want her son to be involved in any disputes.Ming Ruoxing can understand, but he will not change his original intention because of this.

He responded calmly, but firmly, before leaving the room.

"I brought him back from Chimera with my own hands. No matter what happens in the future, I will never give up on him."

-

He Tiansi sat by the window, staring blankly at the dotted lights of Yinshan Town under the night.

Perhaps because he was too absorbed, he didn't even hear the sound of the door being pushed open. He didn't turn his head until someone sat beside him.

"What are you thinking?" Ming Ruoxing said flatly.

"Of course I miss you." He Tiansi smiled wryly: "I'm worried that you and your mother will quarrel over my matter—although until now, I still don't quite understand what she wants to come to me."

Ming Ruoxing shook his head, telling him not to care too much.

"My mother has this kind of temper. She is full of curiosity about people around me and my brother, but there is absolutely no malice. I have protested to her just now."

Although this explanation is more like a cover-up, He Tiansi is not going to delve into it any further.

"Ming, I'm sorry."

Instead, he apologized to Ming Ruoxing: "I admitted to your mother what happened between us. She saw it first, and said that if I didn't admit it, I would be a coward... I'm afraid She broke my neck."

"You really believe it. Fool."

Ming Ruoxing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he wasn't angry.

"Forget it. Actually, as soon as I saw her, I knew I couldn't hide this matter. Anyway, we will go up the mountain tomorrow morning."

"Xiao Ming."

"Ok?"

"Do you think your mother will make a surprise attack tonight?"

"What do you want to do, just say it."

"To be on the safe side, why don't you stay in this room to protect me tonight. Anyway, your mother knows about it."

While He Tiansi was boasting, he had already stretched out his hand to wrap around Ming Ruoxing's waist from behind, exerting a little force.

"Are you a rascal?!"

Ming Ruoxing was angry and funny, trying to break free from his gentle trap: "I'm going up the mountain tomorrow, don't use your brains. Remember what you promised me."

"Obviously you promised me, right?" He Tiansi pretended to be wronged, "Obviously as long as I perform well, I will be rewarded..."

"So are you doing well?"

"Not good? I was tortured enough by your mother just now. Isn't it a miracle that I didn't get sick?"

It's really not easy when you think about it carefully.While Ming Ruoxing was soft-hearted, he was also a little bit moved.

He still had a sullen face, but lowered his voice: "Then what reward do you want?"

"This is-"

He Tiansi suddenly stopped talking.

Ming Ruoxing waited for a few seconds for no response, and was about to explode when he finally heard He Tiansi sigh.

"Forget it, forget it, you can't be too greedy, I don't think I should hesitate."

Just as he was talking, his arms tightened again, and he dragged Ming Ruoxing into his arms.

Ming Ruoxing was soon embraced by him from behind, but this was far from all He Tiansi wanted.

After realizing that Ming Ruoxing had no intention of resisting, he acted decisively and boldly.He lowered his head and sniffed lightly on Ming Ruoxing's neck, then stretched out his tongue and licked it all the way from bottom to top, and finally took a bite of Ming Ruoxing's earlobe, sucking vigorously.

The sound of tsk-tsk water came into the ears very clearly; what echoed it was the provocation and crushing of the earlobe, full of indescribable bad hints.

Ming Ruoxing's face was as red as if he had drunk a few catties of Moutai, and his eyes were distorted dizzily.

After an unknown amount of time, He Tiansi finally let go of that poor earlobe, but gently supported Ming Ruoxing's chin, inducing him to turn his face sideways.

"Your face is hot."

He Tiansi's hand lightly caressed Ming Ruoxing's cheek, and his body temperature, which was slightly lower than that of ordinary demihumans, brought a burst of coolness.

The heat in his heart drove Ming Ruoxing to chase after the coolness.He pressed his cheeks to He Tiansi's palm meekly, then raised his eyes to see He Tiansi who was close at hand.

Of course He Tiansi was also looking at him.

The four eyes met, and in the hazy and gloomy dusk, everything became ambiguous as it should be.

The perfect time for a kiss has come.However, He Tiansi tried several times, but because of the wrong posture, he could only put his mouth close to the corner of Ming Ruoxing's.

And just when he secretly wanted to push Ming Ruoxing down on the bed, the door was suddenly pushed open again.Immediately afterwards, the voice of Ming's mother was lukewarm.

"Come out-come-eat-meal."

The two young men who were hugging each other shuddered at the same time. When they came back to their senses, the footsteps in the corridor had gone away.

"Your mother is sincere, right? If you do it a few more times, I might be useless."

He Tiansi, who had just recovered from the shock, muttered in his mouth, but still wanted to continue with the dessert just now.

But this time, what was waiting for him was Ming Ruoxing who was so tense and stiff, and a fiery veto that was directly printed on his chin.

"...Go downstairs for dinner!"

-

The hard-won reward flew away without even taking a few sips, which certainly made He Tiansi feel heartbroken; but Ming Ruoxing had already begun to waver in the face of his soft-heartedness—this was an excellent signal.

Although he intuitively feels that he is no longer far away from the future of "happiness and sexual happiness", He Tiansi still has to look closer for the time being and complete the imminent and important tasks first.

Shang Yinshan.

-

At seven o'clock the next morning, he and Ming Ruoxing got up at the agreed time, and quietly drove out of the annex.

The two of them settled for breakfast in the restaurant in the town first, then went to the convenience store to replenish dry food and drinking water, and then drove straight towards the highland in the north of the town

After nearly a quarter of an hour's drive, Yinshan, which looks like a Chinese ink painting from a distance, finally became a reality.

He Tiansi once imagined many different forms of Yinshan.However, it wasn't until he stood at the foot of the mountain that he realized that his imagination was completely wrong.

To be more precise, he didn't even see Yin Shan's "true face".

Trees, trees, trees—as far as the eye can see, the entire mountain is covered with lush vegetation.It is not the artificial landscape forest that is common in ordinary scenic spots, but older, towering and huge ancient trees.Like a huge umbrella opened with handles, it completely covers the skeleton of the mountain.

As for the higher places, they were shrouded in gray-white clouds and mist, making it impossible to see clearly.

"This mountain is really interesting."

He Tiansi sighed: "If you want to say it is dangerous, it is tightly wrapped by trees. If you want to say it is high, it is covered with clouds and mist, and I don't know where is the top of the mountain and which is the middle of the mountain. People can't figure it out."

"What's the point of being able to see through at a glance?"

Ming Ruoxing parked the car in the parking space, closed the window and pulled out the key.

"Get out of the car, from here on, fuel vehicles are prohibited from entering."

-

At first glance, the foot of Yinshan Mountain is not much different from other scenic spots.

After leaving the parking lot, there is a large service station. Climbers must pass through the service hall to officially enter the climbing passage through the main exit of the back door.

He Tiansi looked at the service hall curiously, and found that the most important function here was to line up for security checks. In addition, there were many shops on the left and right sides of the hall, presumably selling some souvenirs related to Yinshan.

Because it is the off-season, there are very few people queuing at the security checkpoint.But considering that He Tiansi "doesn't have" a chip on his wrist, Ming Ruoxing directly led him through the official passage.

After passing the security checkpoint, you will exit the service hall.What appeared in front of He Tiansi was a 50-meter-wide concrete flat bridge, divided into a passage every ten meters, with green-painted metal guardrails as partitions between the passages.

Ming Ruoxing led him to the rightmost passage, so he could see the situation under the bridge - an obviously artificially dug "Mountain River" was turbulently flowing, glowing with a clear blue light.The river surface is three stories high from the bridge deck, and both sides of the river are vertical embankments piled up with bluestones, and climbing is obviously prohibited.

"Yinshan only has four main entrances, east, west, north, south, and other places are cut off by the river, in order to further prevent idlers from breaking in." Ming Ruoxing explained.

After crossing Pingqiao, it is considered to have officially entered the Yinshan area.In order to alleviate the pressure of the flow of people in the peak season and do a good job of diversion, a large open space at the foot of the mountain has been set up as a tourist square.Four huge stone beasts stand on the four sides of the square. Although the style is simple, the prototype can be distinguished at a glance.

"Dragon, Phoenix, Tiger and Turtle?"

"No, it's Suzaku and Xuanwu."

Ming Ruoxing corrected He Tiansi's two mistakes: "These are the four mythical beasts that symbolized the four directions in ancient China. If placed in the demi-human world, they represent the four major forces in the traditional demi-human society."

"Which four major forces?"

"Dragon represents the scale clan, which is the power of fish, amphibians, and some reptiles. Suzaku represents the feather clan, which is a symbol of birds. There is no native lion species in our country, so the white tiger represents the Qiu clan, which is all mammals. The leader of the family. Xuanwu represents the Jie clan, and those not mentioned in the previous few are basically classified as the Jie clan."

"Oh……"

Unconsciously, He Tiansi pulled Ming Ruoxing to sit down on the edge of the large flower bed in the center of the square.

"But what's the point of these four major forces being settled down, and what's the use?"

"It's useless now, but it meant a lot in the past."

Then, Ming Ruoxing pointed to the dragon in the east and the red bird in the south, and gave He Tiansi homework: "Go and take a closer look, what's the difference between these two statues."

He Tiansi put down his backpack, took a walk in the past, and quickly came to a conclusion.

"Obviously, the dragon is white marble, and the other one is gray-red. I don't know what kind of rock it is. And the one of Suzaku is also badly weathered. It seems that it wasn't erected at the same time."

Ming Ruoxing affirmed his observation.

"That's right, these four statues have all been damaged to varying degrees. The time of damage is often the period when the dynasty changed."

"Dynasty change? There is also a change of dynasty in the sub-human society? Isn't the dragon always the emperor?"

"Not all the time. The four major forces used to be in a trade-off relationship. Just like ordinary interest groups, the sub-human forces will also secretly promote the process of China's dynasty change-to put it nicely, they are assistants. For example, During the Han Dynasty, the Xuanwu clan in the north gained power, and Xuanwu belongs to water, so the Han Dynasty also practiced the 'water virtue' among the five elements."

Ming Ruoxing's words made He Tiansi half-understand, but he blurted out one question.

"The five elements are five elements, but there are only four of the four major forces. What about the soil? What does the soil correspond to?"

"Soil, that's where we sit now." Ming Ruoxing pointed to the big flower bed behind him.

Only then did He Tiansi realize that they happened to be sitting in the middle of the square.

"There was a statue here too?"

"Maybe, maybe not. Anyway, since I was a child, this place has been a big flower bed. Some people say that there was a unicorn statue here before, and some people say that there was nothing at all. In a dynasty like the Tang Dynasty that advocated Tude, the four The forces die down and coexist peacefully. But who knows? Anyway, the strong make history."

"Kirin, it's pretty good, it's a beast that gives birth."

He Tiansi laughed twice, then pointed to the stone statue to the west, "Ming, isn't it true that your family is a tiger? Does it have anything to do with this white tiger?"

"That's my ancestor, believe it or not?" Ming Ruoxing didn't know if he was joking or serious.

"Believe it, why don't you believe it? The white tiger and the white cat are a proper family!"

He Tiansi's hearty voice attracted the attention of passers-by.

Ming Ruoxing couldn't help but put the hood of his jacket on his head and stood up with his bag on his back.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go."

The author has something to say: If Ming Ruoxing's ancestor was the white tiger, then Ming Ruoxing would have been the little prince in ancient times.

Brother Ming is the prince, abbreviated as: Ming Taizi

Hahaha what a cold joke......

The trip to Yinshan has officially begun.
