across mountains and seas

"Tata...Tata..."

The carriage drove slowly on the mountain road, it was already some distance away from the Baiye City of the Liu family in Xishan, and there were no traces of Wei's soldiers and horses.

"Woo--" Jing Lan stopped the horse, hurriedly took out the gold ingot from her pocket, and took out the paper prescription.

Shen Jiangli was fidgeting with a baby in his arms, and when the carriage stopped, she quickly asked, "Where are you going?"

Jing Lan jumped out of the carriage, lifted the curtain and said, "Sister Shen, let's ride there!" Then, she quickly walked to the wall of the carriage, knocked on the mechanism, and took Shuying and Chongxiao hidden in the carriage wall. out, fastened with a belt behind the back.

Shen Jiangli carefully carried Wei Lei out of the carriage, looked sideways, and saw Jing Lan tearing off the bamboo hat on her head, as well as the uncomfortable mask that had stuck to her face for a long time—tore off and threw it aside.

"Dangerous, dangerous?" Shen Jiangli was worried about Liuxi, and her elder sister stayed in Xishan Liu's family to deal with Wei Jianxuan, the more she thought about it, the more worried she became.

Jing Lan snapped and tore the trouser legs short, took off the loops from the saddle, quickly tied up the sleeves, untied the horse pulling the cart, and drew Shen Jiangli closer, "Sister Shen, get on the horse quickly, this matter is easy to deal with." I'll tell you more about it later."

Shen Jiangli didn't dare to hesitate, grabbed the saddle with one hand, pointed his toes, and sat firmly on the horse's back with Wei Lei in his arms.

Jing Lan got on the horse very quickly, sat behind Shen Jiangli, and stretched her arms around Shen Jiangli, "Sister Shen, hold the little baby tightly, and be careful not to hurt him."

Shen Jiangli pulled himself up and protected Wei Lei tightly.

"drive!"

Jing Lan put her legs between the horse's belly, rode the horse into the deep forest, and rushed to the destination according to the route drawn on the paper square.

In time, - definitely in time!

As the sound of the waterfall got closer, the vision covered by layers of shade gradually opened up.Jing Lan finally rode the horse and led Shen Jiangli out of the deep forest, and reined in the horse and stopped in front of the waterfall.

The waterfall is like the Milky Way flying, and the sound is loud.

Wei Lei was so frightened that he burst into tears when he heard such a sound.

Shen Jiangli panicked for a moment, and patted the little baby's vest lightly, "No, cry!" It was not easy for her to speak, but now she was completely confused, so anxious that she bit her lip for help and looked at Jing Lan, "What, how?"

"I've never coaxed a little baby..." Jing Lan smiled wryly, got off her horse, and took a look at the terrain around the waterfall. There are two mountains and water, and the waterfall looks like a flying dragon falling into the world. It is indeed an excellent geomantic treasure. .

Shen Jiangli jumped off the horse after him, even more anxious, "No, success!"

Jing Lan said apologetically, "Sister Shen, it's hard work for you to take care of this little baby. The terrain here is wide and it's not easy to hide. You can hide in the forest first. When I bring Xi'er back, we will go back to Xiyang together." city!"

Hearing the word "Xi'er", Shen Jiangli would do it even if it was a difficult task.She nodded heavily, "Don't worry!" After finishing speaking, she frowned and looked at the crying baby in her arms, "No, cry..."

The little baby pursed her mouth, stared blankly at Shen Jiangli's eyebrows, and suddenly became quieter.

"Xi'er said that there is a secret passage under this waterfall, which leads directly to Baiye City. I'm worried that she won't be able to deal with that person alone...to deal with that person for too long." Jing Lan could no longer call that person "Second Brother", her eyes - Shen , "Sister Shen, be careful in everything!"

"Come back..." Shen Jiangli looked at her eagerly, "--definitely!"

"Sure!" Jing Lan patted her chest, turned around and skimmed under the waterfall, took a deep breath, and plunged into the water.

The water of the waterfall was so strong that it rushed over Jing Lan's back, almost pushing Jing Lan to the bottom of the waterfall.Because of the turbulent water flow, there were still many bubbles in the water. Jing Lan tried her best to open her eyes, and searched for the secret waterway that Liu Xi mentioned at the bottom of the waterfall.

Where!

She finally found the entrance of the waterway, but she had held that breath for too long, she had to get out of the water, took several breaths in succession, took another deep breath, dived into the bottom of the water, and swam into the water like a barracuda. waterway.

The waterway is pouring down, and the water flow is not slow. Jing Lan swipes her arms forward, even though she is very good at swimming, it is extremely difficult to swim.

She simply pulled out the Chong Xiao, and with the sharpness of the Chong Xiao, pierced into the stone wall of the waterway, and swam upwards with her strength.

This breath was held for too long, she felt that her chest was about to explode, but thinking that Xi'er was still waiting for her, she could only grit her teeth and endure it, and finally pierced the stone wall with her sword, she borrowed her strength, and finally He got out of the water, took a deep breath, and then let out a series of violent coughs.

Jing Lan put away Chongxiao, wiped - wiped off the water drops on her face, and swiped her arms - while sweeping the environment here.

Here is a pool, there are three streams of water continuously leaking from top to bottom, the dome above protrudes a round bag, I don't know where is Baiye City beyond the dome?

"hiss--"

Suddenly there was a strange noise somewhere, Jing Lan looked around vigilantly, the walls were covered with moss, and there was no living thing crawling on them.

"hiss--"

Again—there was a strange sound.

Jing Lan followed the prestige, and saw a black shadow flashing quickly on the left side of the dome.Jing Lan—put her hand on the hilt of the sword, and opened her mouth intently. If the living thing suddenly jumped down, she could use the voice of the beast to stabilize the living thing first, and then find an opportunity to clean it up.

"hiss--"

The strange noise reappeared, and Jing Lan stared at the black shadow closely. Only then did she realize that the black shadow was trapped in the crystal stone prison. As long as the stone is not broken, the living thing will definitely not be able to get out.

Why did the Baiye City of the Liu Clan in Xishan raise such a living creature? What exactly is it?

Just when Jing Lan was puzzled, Liu Xi brought Wei Jianxuan to the Huandao Pond in the middle of Baiye City—this pool is a huge circle, the water is clear, and the bottom of the pool can be seen at a glance.

"What is that?" Wei Jianxuan saw the strange beast imprisoned at the bottom of the pool.

Liu Xi said lightly: "That's the town dragon, but it's actually a big python, the kind that only eats human flesh."

Liu Qing was very ambitious and wanted to rule the world, so this big python was designed by Feng Shui, so he was caught by Liu Qing and imprisoned in the crystal stone prison at the bottom of the pool.

Wei Jianxuan frowned, "How do you feed it on weekdays?"

"Cut a living person's hand and push it down. It smells blood, and it can come out of the crystal prison and eat it happily." Liu Xi seems to know what he wants to ask, "Sometimes it is very beastly. If Xuncheng approaches here, it will also be rolled down the pond and become a delicacy in its belly."

The water in the Huandao Pond will not run out, because there are dark holes left on the stone wall, which continuously pour water from the mountain spring into the pool, and there are three water traps at the bottom of the pool, which will drain the dirty water produced by the monster. The objects are discharged into the pool and pool, and are discharged into the waterfall outside the city through the water channel.

Wei Jianxuan gasped, "Wan—it crawled out of the pond?"

"It can't be out of the water for too long." Liu Xi snorted coldly, "Second Young Master Wei, are you afraid?"

Wei Jianxuan shook his head, "How could I be afraid of it?"

"Oh, is that so?" Liu Xi clearly saw fear in his eyes, she didn't bother to pierce his guilt, she looked around Baiye City thoughtfully, "Xishan Liu's is such a cold and dangerous place, we Growing up here, I never knew what warmth is like. "

Wei Jianxuan took the opportunity to say softly, "From now on, I will treat you well, sister Liu."

"How good is it?" Liu Xi asked coldly.

Wei Jianxuan was taken aback, "You..."

"I never knew what a home should look like, and you've seen it too, who is my father, and who are my younger sister and younger brother?" Liu Xi's eyes suddenly became more envious. I am very lucky, even if you are not born of Aunt Hong, she treats you better than Third Brother Jing and the others."

Wei Jianxuan's face darkened, "I have no other choice..."

"Do you know how badly Aunt Hong was hurt in Prison Dragon Stream to save you?" Liu Xi turned her head and looked at him quietly, her eyes pierced Wei Jianxuan's softest part like a knife.

"I have always longed to have such a mother. In my heart, I have already regarded Aunt Hong as a mother." After Liu Xi finished speaking warmly, she looked at Gaocheng in the distance with her eyes, "From childhood to adulthood , I have never been protected by Liu Qing, whether it is good for me to practice knives or learn the art of military casting, whenever I get hurt or hurt, he doesn't care about it. Do you know why?"

Wei Jianxuan felt distressed when he heard it, "I don't know."

"Just because I'm a daughter..." Liu Xi smiled desolately, "It's not that he doesn't have the warmth of his father, it's just that he gave all his warmth to the fourth brother."

"Sister Liu..."

"Wei Jianxuan, you are already happier than many people, do you know that?"

Wei Jianxuan smiled wryly, "But..."

"But? You want more, don't you?" Liu Xi - hit the nail on the head.

Wei Jianxuan defended guilty, "I only want you..." Thinking of what he saw that day, he felt sore and annoyed, "I sacrificed so much for you, why do you like Xiao Wu?"

Liu Xi's tenderness—smiles, "Little Lang has three good things, gentle, young and obedient, why can't I like it?"

"I'm kind to you, can't you see it?"

"You can't see Dongjing's kindness to you, can you?"

Wei Jianxuan was at a loss for words again, with a sullen expression on his face.

"The home you gave me..." Liu Xi looked around the strange yet familiar Baiye City, "It's the people who betrayed their relatives."

Wei Jianxuan said bitterly: "My mother will forgive me one day!" After a slight pause, he stepped forward and approached Liuxi, "You accept the imperial edict, if you resist the edict, the Dongjing family will also Can't escape the relationship!"

"You've grown up, you've learned how to threaten." Although Liu Xi was praising him, every word was followed by sarcasm, "Wei Jianxuan, do you know who I hate the most in my life?"

"This is already my home for you!" Wei Jianxuan yelled angrily, "My soldiers and horses are all outside the city, and you can't fly out even with your wings!"

"Ah."

"why are you laughing?"

Liu Xi straightened her waist, and said in every word: "In this world, I only want the home that Ah Lan gives me!"

"You!" Wei Jianxuan was exasperated, and stretched out his arms to grab Liuxi.

Unexpectedly, Liuxi swept back and fell towards the Huandao Pond.

"Sister Liu, don't!" Wei Jianxuan wanted to grab Liu Xi, but because of the fear of the ominous creature in the bottom of his heart, he stood still abruptly, almost an arm's length away from Liu Xi.

Splash turned up.

The murderous thing that smelled of strangers got its head out of the crystal stone prison.

A familiar feeling of dread came over me, and the cold water poured in from all directions from the west.

Just like that night when she was 14 years old, when she was walking past the raccoon pond, someone hit her ankle with a stone, she leaned forward and smashed into the raccoon pond, alarming the monster.

That was the first time she had a fear of water, and it was also the first time she encountered a moment of life and death at home.

She wanted to call on her father to save her, but she just swam to the surface when she was dragged down to the bottom by the monster.

Fortunately, she was petite at that time, and when the monster let go of her body temporarily, she swam frantically towards the falling water trap. She never knew the desire to survive, but she could arouse such great strength, Knocked on a falling water mechanism, fell into the pool under the pool, was swept by the current and rushed to the waterfall outside.

When she returned to Baiye City in a mess, Liu Qing just said lightly, "Don't miss the time to practice the knife." There was no more concern, and she didn't ask her why she fell into the pool in detail, just like this lightly passed.

Three years later, she had perfected her saber skills, and she even struck out for herself - a handy weapon that shocked the moon. She couldn't help but ask Liu Qing, why didn't she care about her life at all?

The answer Liu Qing gave her was - one sentence - only the weak in this world will be plotted against by others, if you are really strong, you will not let others take advantage of you.

"Come on! Come on!" Wei Jianxuan yelled frantically by the pool, because he clearly saw that the beast was getting closer and closer to Liuxi.

Hearing the sound, the soldiers of the Wei family ran over, but Wei Jianxuan slapped the fan down the Huandaochi.

"Rescue sister Liu for me! Quick!"

The officers and men of the Wei family didn't notice the ominous thing underwater, just as they dived down, they saw the ominous thing, and jumped out of the pool in a panic, "General, there are snakes below!"

"If you dare to climb up, I want your life!" Wei Jianxuan yelled frantically.

Originally, the monster's attention was on Liu Xi, but there were a lot of people entering the pool, and the movement was too loud. The monster was instantly attracted by the soldiers on the pool, and swam towards them.

Liu Xi suppressed the fear in her heart, she remembered which trap she escaped from, taking advantage of the chaos, Liu Xi swam close to that trap, summoned her inner breath, and slammed into the trap.

"Crack!"

Hearing a startled sound from the organ, Liu Xi ruthlessly kicked the organ, and finally kicked the organ open with a big hole.

The water flow falling from the dome instantly increased, and Jing Lan in the pool under the pool looked up-looking.

"Crash!"

Following the current, a familiar figure fell, and Jing Lan swam to the person with all her strength, "Xi'er!"

Liu Xi heard this familiar voice, trembling, she struggled to get out of the water, and exhaled tremblingly, "Alan..." There was a hint of crying in her voice, which made people feel distressed and disturbed.

Jing Lan was underwater—he hooked Liu Xi's waist to stabilize Liu Xi's sinking momentum.

Liu Xi embraced Jing Lan's neck recklessly, and hugged her tightly, her heart beating loudly, "Hold me tight... hold me tight..." She panted heavily, trying her best to suppress the overwhelming emotion in her heart. fear, "Alan..."

"I'm here." Jing Lan handed her forehead distressedly, "Xi'er, don't be afraid."

The pool water with a strong smell of blood leaked from the top, and the pool water turned red. I don't know what kind of terrifying scene is in the pool?

Jing Lan hurriedly raised her eyes, only to see that giant beast got its head out from the falling mechanism of Liuxi, staring straight at them in the water, as if it might get down at any time and eat them together.

"Xi'er, it's not suitable to stay here for long, take a deep breath, let's go out first!"

The author has something to say: Yes, this is why Xi'er is afraid of water.

See you tomorrow~~~
