The Secret of the Reborn Shadowguard

Gu Yan took a look at the dark woods. Although he didn't know how deep it was, it definitely couldn't be walked in a short time.At this time, the moon is already in the middle of the sky, but I don't know when I will reach the Mengyin clan.

The two guards Xing and Yue didn't seem to intend to follow Su Jinyan, but handed a wine gourd made of emerald jade to Su Jinyan's hand. Su Jinyan nodded and pinned it around his waist.

"Brother Gu, wait a minute, wait a minute!" Su Jinyan just turned around and saw Gu Yan who was about to walk into the dense forest, and hurriedly grabbed his clothes to stop him, faintly relieved, and said : "Brother Gu, don't worry, this road is not easy to walk."

Gu Yan stopped his footsteps in time, looked at the featureless dense forest suspiciously, and turned around to ask: "Is there something special about this dense forest?"

Su Jinyan didn't answer, and pointed to the sky pretending to be mysterious, and asked, "Brother Gu, what do you see in the sky?"

Gu Yan raised his head and looked at the sky. At this time, the sky was clear and there were no clouds in the sky. There was only a bright moon hanging high, so he replied, "Oh, the moon."

Su Jinyan smiled slightly, and pointed at his feet again, "Brother Gu, look at the ground again?"

Gu Yan patiently followed Su Jin's words and looked at the ground, "Shadow, no..." Gu Yan's gaze suddenly froze, and he looked not far away from his feet, and said, "There seems to be something strange about it."

I saw a light and faint silver line gradually appearing on the ground, this road was winding but extremely coherent, like a path paved by moonlight, extending from not far from Gu Yan to the depths of the dense forest.

Gu Yan's eyes lit up, he looked at Su Jinyan, and asked, "Could it be that this road is the one leading to the Mengyin clan?"

Su Jinyan nodded, "Brother Gu guessed right, this road is the only way to the Mengyin clan. Only on the night of the full moon every month when the moon is in the sky, can you enter the forest. Only then can we see this road clearly, and this road usually only exists for three hours, after three hours, this route will gradually fade, and finally disappear without a trace."

Su Jinyan took a step forward and stepped into the dense forest, then turned to look at Gu Yan, "If you don't know the route and take the wrong step at the beginning, it is a wrong step, a wrong step, and you will never want to get out of this dense forest again." walked out."

After all, Su Jin said no longer to delay, and walked forward, "Brother Gu, let's talk as we walk." Three hours may seem like a lot, but it will take about the same amount of time to get out of this dense forest.

Gu Yan and the two walked along this mysterious road, walking forward unhurriedly, only to hear Su Jinyan say with some lingering fear: "The first time I came here to look for Xiaobai, I went straight inside and was trapped here for five days and nights, if it wasn't for Xiaobai, I would have almost met Hades."

Gu Yan paused and looked at the surrounding trees, "Then why don't you remember this route?" Warriors have always had a good memory, so it shouldn't be very difficult to remember this route.

Su Jinyan smiled wryly, and sighed, "I also wanted to remember this road, but found that the next time I followed this route, I walked for three hours and finally returned to the original point."

"Then how did the members of the Mengyin clan return to the Hui clan? Could it be that they have to wait until the moon is full?" Although Gu Yan asked like this, he also knew that it was impossible. It is impossible that Su Jinyan is the only one left here now.

Su Jinyan shook his head, "Of course not. The Mengyin people naturally have their own identification ability. It's not that Xiaobai didn't tell me the route I can enter, but it's just that the Mengyin people have this ability to recognize the way. None of the rest."

"So, if we want to enter, we must either be led by members of the Mengyin clan, or we must wait until the moon is in the sky on the fifteenth night. This is what Xiaobai told me. punish."

After walking for a while, the shape of the surrounding dense forest suddenly changed a lot, and there seemed to be a bitter taste in the air, making Gu Yan's mouth slightly bitter.This bitterness even had a tendency to spread, from his throat to his body, until it reached the deepest part of his heart, almost suffocating him.

Gu Yan froze, and let out a breath slowly, still not suppressing the bitterness in his heart, "The trees just now were obviously conifers and cypresses, but this forest is very strange. I don't know what kind of tree it is. It has a slightly bitter taste."

Su Jinyan tilted her head, took a deep breath, and said with a wry smile: "Bitterness? Isn't it just bitterness? I didn't notice any bitterness when I came here for the first time, but after a few times I somehow felt it in the breath. It has a bit of bitterness mixed in, probably because of the different seasons. But I don't know what kind of tree this tree is, and I never asked Xiaobai."

"I just remember that the first time I came here was a sparse row of pines and cypresses, then this dense forest of strange trees, and finally a row of peach forests. If Brother Gu can come here in spring Now that we can see the colorful scene of fallen flowers, the Mengyin Clan is really a paradise isolated from the world."

"The people there are very simple in nature, but their attitude towards foreigners is a little bit fierce. I think Xiaobai had that kind of temperament back then, if it wasn't for my dead skin..." Su Jinyan stopped the words in time, and then continued: "If it wasn't for me being graceful and suave, and containing him with my broad mind, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to catch him."

Su Jinyan stopped her words in time, looked at Gu Yan who was at the side, hesitated for a while and then asked: "Brother Gu, forgive me for being curious, but I don't know how you chased that one from your family, remember The first time I saw Brother Ying, he is not a person who knows how to talk about love, but the last time I saw it in your teaching was very different."

"A Ying?" Hearing Su Jinyan's question, Gu Yan immediately froze on the spot, and after a while, he heard him mutter: "It seems that I didn't chase much, and I got it..." After finishing speaking With these words, Gu Yan shivered violently, from head to toe it seemed that the cold was down to his bones.

It was too easy for him to get Shadow Eater. He always thought that Shadow Eater was his own, and no one could snatch it away regardless of past or present life.But he forgot that he is the one who is most likely to push Chu Ying away, and Chu Ying can also walk on a road that will never intersect with him because of his inadvertent action. From then on, Xiao Lang has become a passerby.

Gu Yan walked in a trance, he couldn't remember exactly what Su Jinyan said and did next to him after that, it wasn't until Su Jinyan called that they were about to walk out of the peach forest, that Gu Yan finally regained consciousness, It's just that there is a very slight fragility and worry in his eyes.

At this time, the sky was not yet bright, and the sound of rushing water could be heard not far away. Gu Yan raised his eyes, but saw a small river in front of him, with slight ripples, flowing slowly from west to east.

A bamboo raft is tied to a wooden pile on the shore, and it keeps swinging back and forth with the current.A slender middle-aged man is lazily lying on the bamboo raft on the water, his body swings back and forth with the bamboo raft, his left arm is pillowed under his head, and a wine gourd is poured into his mouth with his right hand Swallowing wine.

The wine wetted his beard and dripped from his neck into his jacket, but he still didn't notice it, it seemed that there was only this pot of wine left in the world, and even he himself was just this pot of wine. Just part of the jug of wine.

Su Jinyan patted Gu Yan, pointed at the man on the bamboo raft not far away, and introduced to Gu Yan: "That's Uncle Jiu, who likes to drink, but the interesting thing is that the more he drinks, the more sober he becomes. What's more interesting is that he is not from the Mengyin clan, but from Jianghu just like us."

"Not from the Mengyin clan?" Gu Yan carefully sized up the middle-aged man, but saw that he had nothing unusual except for his eye-catching black beard. It's strange that there is such a person in the Mengyin clan who don't like foreigners.

The man called Uncle Nine opened his eyes slightly, narrowed his eyes into a thin slit, and looked sideways at Su Jinyan and Gu Yan who were approaching him, cursing and saying: "Hey, boy Yan, What are you talking about me again?"

"Uncle Jiu, how dare I speak ill of you, this time I specially brought you the best wine from outside." Su Jinyan laughed with him, and while talking, he untied the emerald jade from his waist The gourd shook and raised its hand before throwing it at the man.

"Yoyo, you kid, take it easy, why do you like to spoil good things?" Uncle Jiu opened his eyes wide, turned over on his side, and firmly caught the emerald jade gourd with his free hand.The bamboo raft under him swayed a few times, but there was no sign of toppling over.

The man took off the lid and smelled it, then poured it into his mouth. The wine in the gourd was overflowed by him, Uncle Jiu quickly licked up all the wine that overflowed from the gourd, and then poured the wine from the bearded gourd. The wine was sucked into his mouth drop by drop.

But after a while, the wine in the jug was already empty, Uncle Jiu clicked his lips with unsatisfied desire, and laughed loudly: "Good wine, good wine!"

After belching comfortably, Uncle Jiu looked at Su Jin with great admiration and said, "You're still generous, these Mengyin clansmen are so hard on each other. If I hadn't learned how to make wine in the end, I'm afraid I would have died sooner or later." He died by the river."

Hearing his praise, Su Jinyan patted his chest very complacently, "Haha, Uncle Jiu, I love what you said, go outside and ask, who in this world doesn't know about my Su Jinyan?" Nothing else is good, but generosity."

Gu Yan at the side listened to the conversation between the two, and felt himself blushing for what they said, and coughed heavily.

Only then did Uncle Jiu notice Gu Yan beside Su Jinyan, and sized him up from head to toe, "Who is this man?" After asking, he stared at Su Jinyan again. , "You kid is really desperate this time, you can be beaten to death by them yourself, and you even brought outsiders here."

"Uncle Jiu, you just need to cross us, I haven't said you're afraid, you're always worried." Su Jinyan didn't explain Gu Yan's identity to him, but just cupped his hands gracefully, "Jiu Uncle, please take us to the entrance of the cave."

"I'm not worried that you will be killed by those people. I won't have any good wine to drink in the future." Uncle Jiu muttered, spit on the palms of his hands and rubbed them, then picked up the bamboo pole and inserted it into the water In the middle, he complained in his mouth: "People from the Mengyin clan don't go out once in 80 or [-] years. It's good for you, kid, to find a job for me."

The bamboo raft moved forward slowly, and just a few meters away from the shore, there was only a sound of bumping, and the bamboo raft violently bumped a few times in the water, causing huge splashes, and almost fell into the water.Fortunately, Gu Yan and Jiu Shu are both people with unfathomable martial arts, and Gu Yan also pulled Su Jinyan at the right time, so no one fell into the water.

As soon as Gu Yan and the two raised their heads, they saw Uncle Jiu staring viciously at the extra person on the bamboo raft, and shouted: "Xiao Zheyan, didn't you just go out just now, why did you come back to me?!"
