The mountain ghost blows out the lights

It is indeed cold in the snow-capped mountains. Yan Jinping didn't feel it before, but now, even though he only drank a sip of tea, his whole body has warmed up from the inside out, and his fingertips have returned to a little temperature. In the stomach, it feels much better than before.

Moreover, the tea has a very strong fragrance, which makes people feel happy after smelling it. Yan Jinping couldn't help admiring from the bottom of his heart: "Good tea."

It is a variety that does not exist outside the snow mountain.

"Thank you." Madam Bone smiled again, covering her mouth with her sleeve, as if being affirmed made her feel very happy, her voice became sweeter, "I grow this tea myself when I have nothing to do. I used some exclusive The breeding method and the variety are good, as long as you like it, it would be great."

"So that's how it is." Yan Jinping took the opportunity to seize the topic, and said seemingly unintentionally, "It must not be an easy task to cultivate such a good tea. I think Madam must have spent a lot of time."

"Yes." Madam Bone didn't know if she understood what he meant, she nodded and sighed, "After all, I have lived in this valley for so long, if I don't find something for myself, my life will be too boring a bit."

"Let's talk about it." She said again, "I'm a... girl, I'm bored in this small place all day long, what else can I do besides doing these things?"

"The snow mountain environment is indeed harsh." Yan Jinping nodded in agreement. He didn't try to find out why Mrs. Bone lived here for a long time even though she knew she was bored. He just echoed, "Madam, it's hard work."

"It's not hard work." Mrs. Bone also picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. The tea flowed into the middle of her bone-only teeth, but it didn't leak out. I don't know where she drank it. "After all I chose this path myself, no matter how difficult it is, I can only..."

She stopped talking, put the teacup on the table, made a soft 'click', changed the subject, and said: "Don't mention this, since you two know the harsh environment of the snow mountain, you have to take a detour What am I doing here?"

"Don't tell me you're just passing by again." The voice of Mrs. Bone was as gentle as before, but the words she said were not so gentle and harmless, "Since you two have the ability to find my valley, you should also know that these excuses are Untenable."

Of course, Yan Jinping never thought that he could completely hide it from her. No one has visited this snow-capped mountain for more than 100 years. What's more, the two of them broke a barrier when they entered. Just passing by, even if it was used to deceive Babao, he would not believe it.

Yan Jinping said: "We did come to Snow Mountain for another purpose, but it wasn't to do bad things. But on the way here, we heard..."

I heard that there is a crazy girl and monster in the snow mountain that prevents people from going up the mountain. I definitely can't say this, so he just mentioned it to the end. Mrs. Bone should already understand it.

Mrs. Bone also knew what she looked like in the outside world, so it was not surprising that Yan Jinping would choose to come to her first.She put her fingers on the table and said softly: "I understand, you two must have seen spiders when you came from the snow-capped mountains. They are very beautiful, and all of them are first-class beauties. They are all that kind of monsters, not to mention my broken bones. It is only natural to have concerns when you come to see me after seeing them. "

"Like that young master." She turned to Shen Lianxing again, staring at him with dark eyes, "Are you a mortal? You have been refusing to speak. Don't you think that the servant's face is disgusting and you have concerns, so you don't want to talk to me more?" ?”

Although Mrs. Bone's voice was light and powerless, and she didn't release any 'coercion of being a big monster', the meaning in her words made the atmosphere tense.

"How could it be?" Shen Lianxing had already recovered and was warming his hands with a teacup.At this time, Mrs. Bones pointed her finger at him, she opened her eyes and spoke nonsense, and then she opened her mouth to boast, "Madam has an outstanding appearance and temperament, as white as snow on the mountain, as bright as the moon between the clouds, naturally those vulgar fans who flatter horses are also better than others." No way."

Yan Jinping: ...

Underestimate him, this guy is amazing.

Mrs. Bones didn't expect him to say that, so she couldn't help being silent for a while.

After a long while, she sighed again, her tone softened a lot: "You two...Young masters, it's not that I don't want to lend you a loan, it's because the road to the mountain is difficult, the two of you can come here, presumably not Ordinary people, there is no need to hide it. We might as well just say it directly, so as not to try and test again and again. If there is no accurate answer, it is a waste of everyone's time."

Bone raised her head, and two clusters of bright golden flames ignited deep in the dark eye sockets, like a homeless soul, dancing in the depths of her skull.

The surrounding temperature immediately dropped by another two points. Her eyes were so bright that people ignored her unusual appearance, and could not help but be attracted by the two clusters of flames: "You are here to purify the fire, right?"

On this snowy mountain, the only thing worthy of adventure is Jinghuo.

"We can't hide it from Madam." Yan Jinping was not surprised that Madam Bone could guess it, and he replied without hesitation, "Actually, we don't want to bother you, but we are in a hurry, and we really need it to save our lives—but don't worry, we Just take a cluster of flames, it won't hurt its foundation."

The Jinghuo has been burning in this snow-capped mountain for tens of thousands of years. It is the purest and cleanest fire from the depths of the earth.It has never been polluted, and it has never been taken away.

The net fire burning does not rely on fuel, and it is closer to a whole spiritual thing in essence than a burning flame, and if you take away a little, you will get a little less.Although the amount Yan Jinping needs is not much, it is a big change for Jinghuo.

Such a treasure, it is absolutely impossible for it to exist alone in the world for so long without being taken as its own.Although they still don't know what is guarding Jinghuo, or Jinghuo itself has the ability to protect itself, but Yan Jinping's intuition tells him that Mrs. Bone must know something.

His intuition never missed it.

If Mrs. Bone is really related to this, then she may stay here to protect Jinghuo, and she must not be mistaken for thinking that she is going against Jinghuo. If possible, it is best to obtain Mrs. Bone's permission directly.

"It's not that I don't agree. Although it's true that I'm the one who guards Jinghuo now, but... I'm the only one left. I can still be the master of this little matter." Madam Bone sighed, her eyes The flame in the room flickered twice, then went out again, and turned into the funny bone with heavy makeup, "It's just that your trip will be in vain."

"How do you say it?" Yan Jinping saw that her expression was wrong. Although she didn't seem to mean that they were not allowed to go up the mountain, she didn't support it, so she asked a little bit, "Could it be that... the Jinghuo has been taken away?"

"Jinghuo has gone crazy, for a long time." Mrs. Bone said softly, "He doesn't recognize anyone now, and when he gets sick, he will destroy everything around him that dares to approach him, and you won't have a chance to get the fire. "

"Crazy?" Yan Jinping wondered, "Isn't Jinghuo fire?"

"Since it is called Jinghuo, of course it is fire." Mrs. Bone said, "It's just that it's different now, even if it's fire...it will change."

"You mean, Jinghuo gave birth to its own consciousness?" Shen Lianxing asked again.

"..." Madam Bone thought for a while.Her face was empty, and she had no muscles to express her expression. She could only hear her hesitation in her voice, "...you can also say that."

She obviously knew something inside, but she refused to tell the two of them directly.Yan Jinping and Shen Lianxing looked at each other, exchanged opinions with their eyes, and did not rush to ask.

Anyway, when we got to the mountain and saw Jinghuo, we knew everything.

"Even so, we still have to go up and have a look." Yan Jinping didn't even think about it. He and Shen Lianxing came all the way here just to get Jinghuo. Go home.He said to Mrs. Bones, "Since I've come this far, I have to see it with my own eyes before I give up."

Shen Lianxing also said at this time: "I don't know Madam... Do you know the reason why Jinghuo went crazy?"

Knowing the reason, they can prepare in advance.

Mrs. Bone took a deep breath and sighed: "Who knows? Maybe he is guilty, maybe...he is in too much pain."

"He Rong is suffering endless torture. And I—no matter who it is, can't help him. Only he can bear this pain. It's already a great thing that he is still alive. gone."

"He Rong?" Shen Lianxing asked, "He Rong is..."

"That's Jinghuo's current name." Mrs. Bone said, "You said you came here specifically to find him, so do you know how Jinghuo came here?"

"... I have some understanding." Yan Jinping thought for a while and said, "But after all, it's all hearsay, and the content is very unreliable."

Mrs. Bone was mentioned in the pile of notebooks moved back from Langhuan Pavilion. It was said that there were more than 50 men behind her, and she was a beautiful enchantress. It can be seen that none of the guys who wrote the notebooks were reliable. , will only weave a love story.Finding the truth from there is unrealistic.

Now that they are already in the snow mountain, Jinghuo will not suddenly run away with long legs, and chatting for a while will not waste much time.

Speaking of time...

The sky outside the barrier was still brightly lit, Yan Jinping turned his head to look out the window of the small bamboo building, looked at the sun that seemed to have not changed its position at all, turned back and asked Shen Lianxing, "Do you know what time it is?"

Shen Lianxing knew what he wanted to ask. As a former pure mortal, he was much more sensitive to time than Yan Jinping, who didn't go out all the year round - after all, Yan Jinping had lived for so long, and the difference of one or two hours meant nothing to him. Just like nothing, hindsight is still normal.

From his sleeve he pulled a round piece of metal with a small button on the side.Shen Lianxing pressed the button, and the top cover of the thing popped open, revealing the delicate structure inside.

It turned out to be an exquisite pocket watch.

"It's midnight now." Shen Lianxing looked at the time displayed on his pocket watch, then looked up at the sky, and said to Yan Jinping, "It should be dark early."
