I am imprisoned in Kaifeng Mansion

The four of them descended along the rolling green fruit all the way to the lower part of the mountain depression, and the surrounding fog lightened instead.

Then, another mountain appeared in front of everyone, and there were stone steps leading to the mountain, but these stone steps were very narrow, and even a woman's little feet could only hold the front half firmly, and the second half would hang in the air.The stone steps are covered with a thick layer of moss. The humidity in the mountain is heavy, and the moss is a bit slippery.

"Although these stone steps are a bit difficult to walk, as long as you pay attention, you can still avoid falling. Be careful where you step." After Ping'er instructed everyone, she took the lead and walked in the front.

Wang Siniang was about to follow Ping'er up, but suddenly she heard Cui Tao behind her yell 'Don't go', she immediately stopped.But when she looked up, she saw that Ping'er was still walking up, as if her ears were suddenly deaf, and she didn't hear the people behind her talking.

Wang Siniang wanted to call Pinger to stop, but was stopped by Cui Tao.

"She may have been caught in a psychedelic array. If it suddenly startles her and makes her fall backwards," Cui Tao glanced at the slippery and steep stone steps behind Ping'er, "either dead or disabled."

Empress Wang Siniang nodded in fear, and immediately stopped talking.

Zhang Wang took a special look at Cui Tao, then stood obediently behind the two, and followed them to look at Ping'er.

After Ping'er stepped on the stone steps, she was very worried that she would slip and fall, so she concentrated on her feet and couldn't pay attention to whether the people behind her were keeping up.After she walked a certain distance, she suddenly heard someone calling her from behind, but her eyes were still fixed on the ground.

"What's wrong?" Ping'er asked.

"You're going astray!" Wang Siniang shouted very loudly.

Ping'er was stunned for a moment, and after confirming that she could keep her feet steady, she carefully looked back.Seeing that Cui Tao and the others were all at the foot of the mountain and none of them came up with her, Ping'er became a little angry.When she was about to whine and ask why they didn't go with her, Ping'er's hairs suddenly stood on end.

Only then did Ping'er suddenly realize that what she was stepping on was not a stone step at all, but a hillside with weeds.The stone steps were on the west side of her body, half a foot away from her, and she walked down the stone steps unconsciously.And she turned a corner, but she felt like she was going straight just now!

What's even more strange is that she has been hanging her heels all the time. Even though the slope can be firmly planted, she is still standing on tiptoe at this moment.

woohoo-

wow wow wow-

There was a rustling sound at his feet.

Ping'er suddenly felt something swimming around her feet, slightly scratching the corner of her skirt.She was so frightened that she immediately tensed all the nerves in her body, slowly turned her head, and looked to her right foot, where a green snake was wriggling around her skirt.Ping'er screamed in fright, and quickly hid to the side.

The green snake seemed to have just sensed Pinger's presence, and suddenly erected the front half of its body, intending to attack in Pinger's direction.Ping'er swung her sword and chopped off the green snake immediately. She took a few breaths and finally calmed down a little.Looking at Cui Tao and the others who were not moving at the foot of the mountain, they were about to speak again what they hadn't had time to scold them just now, but suddenly they heard the rustling sound again.

There was no wind at this moment, and the weeds in the forest swayed slightly in different directions.

Instinctively, Ping'er backed away in fear, and suddenly saw two or three green snakes coming out of the grass. She clenched the sword tightly in her hand, and was about to cut off these snakes, but unexpectedly, the fifth and third snakes appeared next. Sixth, seventh... More and more green snakes appeared, like a flood that burst a bank.

Ping'er was shocked by the battle in front of her and froze in place. Even though she had a bit of martial arts skills, she couldn't deal with so many snakes.She panicked completely and her hands began to shake.

"Run!" Wang Siniang's sharp shout sounded again, and Ping'er regained her senses in shock.

"Go up the stone steps, sit, lean back, and slide down." Cui Tao immediately shouted to Ping'er.

Ping'er finally came to her senses, and quickly turned around and ran back to the stone steps.The moss was slippery, and she thought it was impossible to run down at a fast speed by standing up, but there was also a rattling sound from the hillside on the other side of the stone steps, indicating that there were also snakes over there, and they were coming this way !

Ping'er could only choose Cui Tao's suggestion, and simply sat on the stone steps, closed her eyes and exerted a little force, her buttocks were throbbing with pain, and she rushed down the mountain.

When Pinger was sliding down, dozens of snakes sprang out from the hillside on the west side of the stone steps, and they climbed over the stone steps one after another, and quickly climbed to the east hillside where Pinger once stayed.

But after a short while, those rattling noises stopped, and the swaying grass became quiet, and no snake followed Pinger down, so everyone should be safe now.

After Ping'er slipped down the stone steps, she collapsed on the ground for a while, but Wang Siniang and Cui Tao didn't come to help her.

Instead, Zhang Wang walked up to Ping'er and asked how she was doing.But men and women are different, and they are not familiar with each other, so Zhang Wang didn't intend to reach out to help Ping'er.Ping'er could only take a cold breath, enduring the pain, clutching her buttocks, and staggered to stand up.

A large piece of green moss stuck to the hip of Ping'er's skirt, jumping happily as her skirt swayed.It's quite funny to ask people to take a look.

Wang Siniang couldn't help laughing, her laughter was so loud that it almost resounded throughout the valley.

Ping'er felt wronged at first, and she was laughed at by Wang Siniang like that, tears fell down immediately.

"Why don't you go up the mountain?" Ping'er choked up, her slender voice filled with infinite grievances.

"This mountain is not easy to look at, of course you can't go up it casually." Wang Siniang showed off to Ping'er with a proud face.

"Then why didn't you tell me?" Ping'er complained even more.

"Why should I tell you? You are so stupid that you insist on going up, and you can blame us for not making it! If I hadn't woken you up with my loud voice just now, you might be able to walk into the snake's den now. Now even There are no bones left." Wang Siniang snorted coldly, disliked Ping'er for having too many problems, and wanted to argue with her, without telling her that they had actually called her.

Ping'er's tears fell more fiercely, crying so pitifully.

"I always thought that since everyone is traveling together, they should take care of each other. I took the initiative to take the lead just now, because I wanted to protect everyone, but I never expected that you would treat me like a monkey and let me take risks alone. This What is it? How can people's hearts be so indifferent!"

When Cui Tao heard Ping'er complaining so wrongedly, she couldn't help but chuckle.This smile immediately caused Pinger's eyes to stare at her with tears and resentment,

"When you maliciously speculated about me behind my back, spoke ill of me, and urged Wang Siniang to hate me, didn't you ask yourself, 'Why are people's hearts like this'?" Cui Tao asked curiously.

"Pfft ha ha ha..." Wang Siniang was disgusted by Ping'er's pretentious crying, but when Cui Tao responded to this sentence, she was immediately devastated, making her laugh like crazy.

Ping'er was filled with shame and anger, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Cui Tao was remembering her past grudges, so she took the opportunity to take revenge on her just now, and deliberately didn't call her.

Zhang Wang hurriedly persuaded everyone to stop arguing, and explained to Pinger: "Actually, when Mrs. Ping walked up, Mrs. Cui called you, but you didn't seem to hear it. It's not good to shout again. You look like In the psychedelic formation, you only had half of your foot on the stone steps at the time. If you were startled, and you fell back and fell down, and then slid down the stone steps, you would probably break your neck, and you would not die. It will also be paralyzed."

Zhang Wang's words made Ping'er dumbfounded for a moment. It turned out that they took her into consideration, but she was narrow-minded at the beginning and asked random questions in a bad tone.Ping'er felt that her behavior just now was so ugly that she had no face to face Cui Tao.She held back her tears, lowered her head in embarrassment, and tried her best to suppress her sense of existence, feeling extremely embarrassed.

For a while, the mountain was quiet, only the chirping of birds and insects, and even Wang Siniang shut up and stopped laughing.

Ping'er understood what it meant for everyone to be quiet.She bowed her head deeply and hurriedly bowed to Cui Tao in apology.

"You can keep your mouth shut, that's the best apology to me." After Cui Tao said, she didn't have the heart to continue on Pinger, but kept looking around her surroundings.

Wang Siniang immediately became vigilant, hurried to Cui Tao's side, and asked in a panic: "Is there any danger?"

Ping'er also became nervous and grabbed the sword in her hand.

Zhang Wang followed Cui Tao's doubts and looked around. After confirming that nothing had changed, his eyes became calm.

"Did you say mushrooms grow in this mountain?" Cui Tao asked suddenly with serious eyes.

Wang Siniang, Ping'er, and Zhang Wang: "..."

"There are wild vegetables, I saw them all the way here just now." Cui Tuo then said with emotion.

Wang Siniang, Ping'er, and Zhang Wang: "..."

Seeing that the three of them were silent, Cui Tao looked at them wonderingly: "It's already noon, aren't you hungry?"

"I didn't think so, but I felt hungry after hearing what you said." Wang Siniang rubbed her belly, and then suddenly realized, "Oh, we should buy some dry food and bring them here! Why did we forget such an important thing!"

"Who would have thought that we would be trapped in the formation, and no one told us in advance." Ping'er muttered in a low voice.

Zhang Wang glanced back at Ping'er, and felt that Ping'er was blaming him for not explaining what he said at the beginning, which made them not ready to eat?Only now did he finally understand why Cui Tao said to Ping'er just now, 'If you can shut up, that is the best apology to me'.

"What to do with dry food, where to eat, that's called ability. There is water over there, after lighting the fire, find some mushrooms and wild vegetables nearby or hunt two live animals, and naturally there will be something to eat."

Cui Tao pointed to the small ditch at the bottom of the mountain in the east. There was a spring there, and the water kept coming out of the ditch and flowing around. The amount was not too much, but it was enough for four people for lunch.

There is a luxuriant paulownia tree near the spring, with particularly large leaves.Cui Tao first broke off three tung leaves that were bigger than a human face, and distributed one to Ping'er and Wang Siniang, and she also kept one.The three of them were in charge of picking mushrooms and wild vegetables, and Zhang Wang was in charge of collecting firewood to light the fire.

"Remember not to go up the mountain, just follow the root of this mountain."

Everyone promises to go find things separately.

Ping'er is embarrassed to be with Cui Tao, but Wang Siniang loves to be with Cui Tao now.So Ping'er went east to look for it by herself, while Cui Tao and Wang Siniang went west.Zhang Wang picked up firewood nearby and piled it in the middle of the ground.

Wang Siniang lives in the cottage all year round, and it is easy to recognize mushrooms and wild vegetables.Maybe it's because no one enters this mountain all the year round, it is very rich, wild vegetables are everywhere, and I found seven or eight thick-legged mushrooms just by looking around.Even though there are only a few, the mushrooms are very large, and each one is at least twenty or thirty small mushrooms.The big ones can be longer than a human face, and this mushroom lives up to its name. The mushroom legs are as thick as a big chicken leg, and the taste is not to mention, very chewy.But only the legs are delicious, and the taste of the mushroom caps is very ordinary.

Wang Siniang wrapped the picked mushrooms and wild vegetables with big leaves, and happily told Cui Tao that these should be enough for everyone to eat.Suddenly, Cui Tao, who had been staring at the grass in front of her, suddenly turned her head and put her finger on her lips, beckoning her to keep quiet.

Wang Siniang immediately shut up, first put the mushroom on the ground, then quietly moved to Cui Tao's side, followed Cui Tao's gaze, and saw a fat rabbit grazing in the grass.

Wang Siniang immediately gestured.She came to catch, she has experience.

Wang Siniang hunched over the grass and walked over the grass cautiously, but suddenly her feet fell.Unexpectedly, there is a hole in the grass, and a thick layer of weeds grows on it, which can't be noticed at all.Wang Siniang's fall made a loud noise, startling the rabbit in front, and the rabbit immediately fled into the forest on the mountain.

Wang Siniang was so remorseful that she slapped her thigh with hatred, but suddenly felt something flying past her ear.When she looked again, the fleeing rabbit was lying on the ground, motionless.

Wang Siniang hurried over, picked up the rabbit by its ears, and found that the rabbit was not dead, but was hit in the head and passed out.

"Good skill!" Wang Siniang was amazed, and asked Cui Tao what the name of the skill of flying stones was.

"It's not very hard to hit, but it's best to hit the key point. If you hit it elsewhere, this thing will probably run away."

"That's even more powerful, the rabbit is so fast, you are so accurate!" Wang Siniang praised Cui Tao in a different way, and was very happy that they had meat for lunch today.

When the two turned back, Zhang Wang had successfully lit a fire.Ping'er also came back from picking wild vegetables, she only knew one of the wild vegetables here, and she didn't dare to pick others that she didn't know, for fear of being poisonous.

When Ping'er saw Wang Siniang coming back with a fat rabbit in her hand, and saw that the rabbit's legs were still moving, she hurried over to care, "It's so pitiful, what's wrong with it?"

"It's going to die." Wang Siniang immediately went to the other side of the mountain, ready to kill the rabbit.

Ping'er looked at Wang Siniang's voice in surprise, wanted to stop but dared not, and muttered softly: "How can you eat rabbits, rabbits are so cute and fluffy."

Cui Tao, who was washing wild vegetables, shook her hands when she heard this.

Of course Wang Siniang ignored Ping'er's sympathy, killed the rabbit in twos and twos, peeled off the rabbit skin, washed the rabbit in the mountain spring water, and handed it to Cui Tao.

Cui Tao took off a flat bluestone board, cleaned it, and used it as a chopping board for preparing dishes.

She took off the four rabbit legs, exactly four people, and they could be roasted and eaten, one for each person.

After Cui Tao changed the rabbit's leg into a knife, she took out a small bag from her sleeve.

"What are you doing with your money bag for cooking?" Zhang Wang asked with a smile after seeing it.

Then, looking around, I saw Cui Tao took out a paper bag from the bag, another, and a third... Each paper bag said, salt, sugar, garlic powder, pepper, etc., and there were twelve bags!In addition to the seasonings commonly used in the kitchen, she even prepared spices such as grass fruit and cardamom.

"You usually take these with you when you go out?" Zhang Wang was surprised.

"I don't need it in Bianjing, but I have to prepare it when I go out." After Cui Tao marinated the rabbit with seasoning, Wang Siniang has already responded to Cui Tao's request, and used her big knife to cut out a piece of wood about as thick as a calf.

Cui Tao put this piece of wood on the bluestone board as a cushion, put the rabbit's body on it, and chopped the bone and meat into half-inch diced meat.Then cut the thick leg mushrooms into the same dices, because the mushrooms will shrink when exposed to water, and can be a little larger than the diced rabbit meat, and then put the washed wild vegetables together.Wait for a while to marinate, pour out the marinated water, mix well with garlic powder, salt, sugar and other condiments, divide into four parts, and wrap it with large pieces of paulownia leaves, otherwise the soup will leak, so wrap it in several layers, and then It was sewn with clay and stuffed under the fire.

The four rabbit legs are set up with wooden sticks. You must wait until the firewood is almost burned, and only the red charcoal is left before roasting.Otherwise, if you burn it with an open fire, not only will you not be able to roast the meat, but it will also be blackened and burnt, and it will taste a little pungent, so you will lose the good ingredients in vain.

By the time the four rabbits were roasted until they were browned and the aroma was tangy, the fire was almost extinguished.Then I dug out the four packs of mushrooms, wild vegetables and rabbit meat buried under the living things, smashed the outer mud, and pushed aside the wrapped leaves. Accompanied by white hot air rising repeatedly, the unusually strong fresh fragrance exploded in the air instantly.

Wang Siniang, Zhang Wang and Ping'er were all salivated by the aroma of these two dishes, Wang Siniang couldn't help it, and rushed over to eat their share, sitting on the floor and eating.

The roasted rabbit legs are moderately salty, with a strong burnt aroma. You can taste some garlic and spices. The more fragrant you chew, the more addictive you eat.

The diced rabbit meat with mushrooms and wild vegetables is also fragrant, but its aroma is more moist and delicious, which is different from the burnt aroma of barbecue.The diced rabbit meat is white and tender, with a piece of soup and juice in it. In the mouth, the savory taste of mushrooms and wild vegetables and the meaty fragrance of rabbit meat are perfectly blended. This fragrance seems to be alive in the mouth. From the tip of the tongue to the root of the tongue, to the throat... Even the whole body is full of this delicious feeling.

"My mother, this is so delicious!" Wang Siniang already looked fascinated, as if she was dying of happiness.

Zhang Wang also nodded repeatedly, praising the delicious food.While holding the rabbit leg in his hand, he said that he would recite a poem to describe the fragrance of the two dishes.

Cui Tao laughed, but didn't bother to pour out her mouth to answer his words. At this moment, she just wanted to focus on tasting the delicacies she made.

Ping'er is still sitting in the same place at the moment, secretly swallowing saliva, while hating herself for having such a reaction.But she was really hungry, and the smell was really too delicious, so fragrant that it could kill her!

It's too sinful, how can she move the idea of ​​eating rabbit meat?Rabbit is so cute, it should not be eaten.When they killed the rabbit just now, Ping'er hated herself for being incompetent and unable to save the poor rabbit, but she secretly swore in her heart that she would never touch that rabbit meat.

But now, because of the deadly scent, Ping'er couldn't control her eyes at all, staring straight at the rabbit legs in their hands.That color is so beautiful, burnt yellow.Her share was still on the bluestone slab, she didn't go to get it, and no one told her to eat it.Ping'er has gone from trying to make herself refuse to gradually beginning to hesitate whether to eat or not.

After Wang Siniang ate her portion, she smacked her lips involuntarily.She was happy to find that Ping'er hadn't moved.

"She doesn't eat rabbits, so can I eat this?" Wang Siniang immediately asked Cui Tao.

Cui Tao glanced at Ping'er and replied, "Anything you want."

Wang Siniang was overjoyed when she heard it, and ran over immediately.

"Who said I won't eat!" Ping'er didn't hesitate anymore, and hurried over to take away her share.

"Eh? You can't eat rabbits?" Wang Siniang regretted that she couldn't eat two servings, and insisted on making fun of Ping'er.

"But it is more important to find Mr. Mochizuki. If I am hungry, I will definitely hinder everyone." Ping'er stumbled to find a reason to explain.

The other three knew that Ping'er couldn't stand the smell and wanted to eat it greedily, so they all laughed.

"If you are afraid that you will be hungry, I will ask Siniang to get you some wild vegetables and mushrooms. Just wait for a while. I can't force you to eat rabbit meat. How uncomfortable it would be. Don't cry aggrieved after eating later, saying We forced you." Cui Tao got bored after eating a full meal, teasing her.

"Yes, yes, wait a moment, I'll get it for you." The light in Wang Siniang's disappointed eyes rekindled.

"No... no need, I can eat it, I won't blame you." After Ping'er took the rabbit leg, she smelled the fragrance at a close distance, and felt even more hungry. When the meat was eaten, the entire psychological defense line collapsed.

"Yo, I've wronged you, eating the meat we worked so hard to get, and still wanting to 'don't blame us'."

Wang Siniang pretended to be unhappy and taunted that it would be fine to ask Pinger to eat, at least a few compliments, and thank them for being kind, she didn't do much when cooking just now.

"I'm usually not a reasonable person, but I'm being reasonable to you today, isn't my request too much?"

"I'm sorry for being wrong, thank you Mrs. Cui for making such delicious food for everyone, thank you Si Niang!" Ping'er said weakly.

"Ah, what did you say? I didn't hear!" Wang Siniang asked loudly.

Ping'er raised the volume again, and said thank you loudly again.

Wang Siniang sat down beside Cui Tao, gave Cui Tao a look of admiration, and said in a low voice, "Ms. Cui is still the best, she can subdue people just by eating rabbit meat."

When she was packing the rabbit meat just now, Cui Tao saw Pinger sitting far away, so she asked Wang Siniang to guess whether Pinger would eat the rabbit meat later.

Wang Siniang looked at Ping'er's face of 'You are so cruel', and remembered that she had not eaten for three consecutive meals because of anger in the cell, and said that she would not eat.But she didn't expect that she couldn't bear it today.But I also understand that most people can't handle such a delicious thing, it's really Cui Tao's cooking is so delicious.Even the Han Tui official, who looks indifferent and ascetic, smelling this smell, might also bow down to Mrs. Cui's bluestone slab.

After eating two mouthfuls of rabbit legs, Pinger tore off the leaves and planned to eat mushrooms, wild vegetables and rabbit meat.

But she suddenly thought of something, her complexion changed immediately, and she quickly asked Cui Tao: "Is this leaf poisonous?"

As soon as she heard her words, Wang Siniang's face turned pale. If it was really poisonous, she would have eaten it all.Speaking of which, this place is so mysterious, it is very possible that it is poisonous.

Zhang Wang raised his eyebrows, and looked at Cui Tao with the corners of his mouth curled up.

"This is the paulownia leaf. It can not only cure malignant sores, but also reduce swelling and hair growth. Do you think it is poisonous?" Cui Tao asked.

The two breathed a sigh of relief, and Ping'er began to eat with confidence.

Wang Siniang laments that Cui Tao knows too much!She rubbed her full stomach, sat cross-legged on the ground, and chatted with Cui Tao about the snakes just now.Why did they suddenly attack Ping'er in groups?

"Is it true that anyone who goes up the mountain will be besieged by those snakes? Then we may not be able to climb this mountain!"

"It shouldn't be. When she was standing there just now, there was only one snake, and the snake didn't intend to bite her at first. It was because she frightened the snake and then killed the snake, so that swarms of snakes attacked. I guess these snakes should be addicted to it." Blood, it will only come when it smells blood." Cui Tao analyzed.

Wang Siniang still sighed, "But we still can't go there, the stone steps are too problematic. I just saw it, and when Ping'er went up the stone steps, she seemed to be bewitched, and she didn't even know if she went astray."

"Eyes can sometimes deceive people, and the psychedelic formation is formed from this."

For example, the Fraser spiral of the king of optical illusions, the longer you stare at it, the easier it is to produce optical illusions.Of course, she couldn't tell Wang Siniang about this example.

"Then what else can I do?" Wang Siniang knew that Cui Tao was a capable person, and if this mountain could be overcome, it must depend on Cui Tao.

"The key to deciphering this formation is to find the core thing that makes us look wrong." Cui Tao asked Siniang if she felt that the mountain in front of her was different from other places.

Wang Siniang scratched her head, "It doesn't seem to be any different, but the stone steps are too narrow and covered with moss, people get bewitched as soon as they go up, and there are many snakes on the mountain."

"By the way, it's the stone steps that are problematic. Normal stone steps are not so narrow, nor are they covered with fine moss evenly." Cui Tao said, "The moss is slippery, and it will make people stare at their feet all the time. If you stare at it for too long, something will happen.”

Cui Tao asked Wang Siniang to take a good look to see if the moss on the first, second, and third stone steps were all the same.

After Wang Siniang looked at it carefully, "It seems to be different, some are deep and some are shallow, thick and unreasonable, it seems that the types are different, but they are mixed together..."

Wang Siniang raised her head again, suddenly feeling dizzy.

"It's very easy to walk across this mountain, just clean up the moss on the stone steps." Cui Tao said.

"Why don't you take the mountain road and avoid the stone steps? As long as those snakes don't see any blood, they should be fine." Zhang Wang asked Cui Tao.

"Let's not go on a smooth road, instead of taking a rough road, it is the most stupid choice. The situation in the mountains is more complicated, it will only make it easier for people to be trapped by the formation, and the way to get rid of it must not be as simple as taking a smooth road.

For example, when we were walking on the bluestone road just now, some people couldn’t get out, so some people thought about going into the mountains to see different trees and scenery, and thought they might go out.They don't know that the forest itself is a psychedelic 'formation'. If there is no expert to set up the formation, some people will get lost in it, let alone an expert to add another formation. " Cui Tao explained.

"Yes, you can't enter the mountain!" Ping'er finished eating now, and immediately followed her.She is too afraid of those snakes. Besides snakes, if there is a more difficult way to walk, it will really kill people.

"Then let's remove the moss!" Wang Siniang raised her sword and was about to scrape it from the first stone step.

Cui Tao stopped her, "It's not easy to grow this moss, spread it evenly on every stone step, and subdivide each species, arrange the shape according to the color depth and sparseness. How troublesome, how difficult Woolen cloth!"

"But this thing will put us in the psychedelic formation!" Wang Siniang didn't understand why Cui Tao suddenly felt sorry for Moss, which was even more outrageous than Ping'er's feeling for Rabbit, "Anyway, we didn't bother to plant it, let's shovel it! Why does Mrs. Cui feel sorry for this thing?"

Cui Tao smiled, and looked at Zhang Wang: "Of course I don't feel distressed, I'm afraid that Mr. Mochizuki will feel distressed."

"But if we don't eradicate it, we won't even see Mr. Mochizuki." Wang Siniang insisted on eradicating it.

Ping'er noticed the abnormality at this time, and followed Cui Tao's gaze to look at Zhang Wang.I saw him standing there, still polite, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was very weird.Then, he met Cui Tao's eyes.

Ping'er suddenly realized, and waited and looked around in surprise: "Could it be that you are... are..."

"Let's wait and see." Zhang Wang cupped his hands to Ping'er and introduced his name.

"Mr. Wang...Wang...Mr. Wangyue? So you are Mr. Wangyue?" Ping'er was so shocked that she pointed at Zhang Wang, her eyes widened in surprise.

"Exactly, I ask Wang Siniang to show mercy to this moss. I have laid it out carefully for many years." Zhang Wang then asked Cui Tao, since when did he find out that he was Mr. Mochizuki.

"Unknown to us, you dared to bring us here hastily, asking us to break the formation, and claiming that you are Mr. Mochizuki's apprentice. From then on, I doubted you." Cui Tao said.

"Oh? So early? I thought it would be time for us to eat at the bottom of this mountain." Zhang Wang then asked Cui Tao where his weakness was.

"Because it's a circle, you're not limited to our point." Cui Tao circled the ground with a wooden stick, and then pointed to a position on the edge.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Wang asked Cui Tao with a smile, slightly puzzled.

Cui Tao clicked in the center of the circle, "Mr. Mochizuki lives here, and all directions can lead to your residence. The terrain outside Bianjing has no cliffs and dead ends, and all directions here are easy to enter.

You claim to be his apprentice, and if you can't break the formation, you will never see Mr. Mochizuki again.But this circle is so big, it is unlikely that all places are covered with formations, and there is no way to go here, so you can choose other paths. "

"Looking at the two formations we have walked through, we know that it takes a lot of time to set up the formation. There are many birds and animals in the forest, and the weather is changeable. It is often windy, thundery and rainy, and the formation may be destroyed at any time. So just As far as the formation of this mountain col is concerned, it is very time-consuming and laborious to maintain.

If there are formations like this in all directions of Mr. Mochizuki's residence, Mr. Mochizuki, who always likes to be alone, may not be able to do it even if he has three heads and six arms? "

Zhang Wang snorted.

"So I think you brought us here on purpose. You want to embarrass us with your well-built formation, let us retreat in spite of difficulties, or try to find the bottom? I want to know what we are here for and how capable we are." Cui Tao continued guessed.

Of course, after Cui Tao finished speaking, she did not forget to be modest. Her speculations have no evidence and may not be correct.

Zhang Wang laughed again, feeling that Cui Tao's 'humility' was more like mocking him.

"Tell me, what do you need to come to me?" Zhang Wang's face suddenly turned cold, and he was no longer as gentle as a scholar before.

"Junior Ping'er, Qiu Yuling's apprentice, pay my respects to senior." Ping'er immediately saluted Zhang Wang.

Wang Siniang was amused by Pinger's immediate change of attitude, "Senior? I don't think he may be older than you."

"That's why the eyes are deceiving." Cui Tao asked Wang Siniang to look at Zhang Wang's neck, "A person's face may be kept very young, but the neck can easily reveal its age."

Wang Siniang looked at the deep neck lines on Zhang Wang's neck, and nodded her head sighingly.She gained knowledge in strange places again.

"You are Qiu Yuling's apprentice? That's really disappointing," Zhang Wang's face turned colder, and he sighed dissatisfiedly, "The blue turns yellow instead of blue."

Ping'er bowed again, sorry that she didn't get the master's true biography, and she was even more powerful.

"I also hope that the senior will do the junior a favor and tell the junior where the Tianji Pavilion is?"

"Hey, this is betraying the master and starting to be a lackey of the Kaifeng Mansion?" Zhang Wang's sarcasm was even more serious.

Ping'er kept saluting silently, not daring to say a word, and then tears fell down, and she also felt that it was shameful for her to betray her master.

"However, Tianji Pavilion is not a good thing, and your master is not very good. If you betray, you will betray. But for your virtue, I will definitely not tell you such important news. But this little friend is a bit interesting. , is a good talent. If you agree to be my apprentice, I don't mind if you are a lackey of Kaifeng Mansion, I will help you."

Zhang Wang looked at Cui Tao appreciatively, becoming more and more satisfied the more he looked.He had long wanted to take in an excellent apprentice and pass on his lifelong knowledge to him.This Cui Tao is extremely smart and absolutely suitable.It's a pity that she is a daughter, but it doesn't matter, he can barely accept it.

"I'm afraid that won't work, I'm not a man to make." Cui Tao immediately refused.

"You are humble." Zhang Wang said immediately.

"I'm a 'material', I've already made it, it's not your turn to teach me." Cui Tao said confidently.

"Heh, the tone of the children is not small." Zhang Wang asked Cui Tao if he dared to accept the move. He gave her ten questions to test, and if she could solve six of them, even if she was good, she didn't need to learn from a teacher, she would do it too. Tell her the news of Tianji Pavilion.

"Then if I get everything right, how about calling me Master?" Cui Tao asked back.

It was the first time Zhang Wang saw such an arrogant young man, but it made him even more excited, "Yes."

The questions he asked involve his unique skills and cannot be spread outside the public.Zhang Wang then sent Wang Siniang and Ping'er to avoid them.

Wang Siniang and Ping'er waited in the distance, looking at Cui Tao and Zhang Wang from afar.

After a long half hour, Zhang Wang and Cui Tao walked over together.

"How is it? Did you answer the six questions correctly?" Wang Siniang hurriedly asked Cui Tao.

Cui Tao shrugged and looked at Zhang Wang.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't get the answer right." Wang Siniang thought Cui Tao had failed, and comforted her, "Anyway, this job is hers. If it doesn't work, it has nothing to do with us."

Ping'er bowed her head aggrieved, a little guilty of her own incompetence, and brought them over for nothing.

"Master!"

Zhang Wang suddenly bowed to Cui Tao and said respectfully.
