Hongdi

The breeze rustled the pine branches, and the huge pine forest returned to tranquility after only a moment.The dots of fire in the distance show that those people are working hard, but it will be in vain in the end.The person they wanted to arrest took a silent look at the forest, then used his sword as a crutch, and limped away.

After walking for a long time, He Bomeng thought that his left foot was about to break off. Finally, he saw the shadow of Wumeiding from a distance, but his left foot was injured and he was separated from his companions. How would he cross the straw rope? What about the suspension bridge?

Just when he was hesitating whether to hide first or send a signal for someone to pick him up, an extremely small sound of dead branches breaking reached his ears. Enduring the severe pain from his feet, he quickly hid on a rock In the shadows, spying.

I saw a white figure looking around for a while, and after a long time, he walked quickly along a small path.He Bomeng frowned in bewilderment, and muttered as he watched Shangguan Yunhe's back going away.Everyone went to chase her in the pine forest, why did she come here alone?And it's still such a remote trail...After thinking about it, he leaned on his sword and followed softly.

This road is very desolate, and there is not even a Lou Luo on patrol.He Bomeng walked with extreme caution, secretly remembering the way.It's just that the road became narrower and narrower, and finally there was only a crack in the mountain where one foot could walk.He Bomeng looked around and was sure that this was the only way to go, so he pulled himself together and went in.

The mountain was getting narrower and narrower, and he could barely pass by turning his body sideways.As he was walking, a gust of warm wind suddenly blew from the front, and the mountain gap suddenly widened. He quickened his pace and walked out, only to find that the winter night at Heming Ridge had turned into a spring night.Yiwangbi Lake is braving the lingering heat, turning this place into a fairyland.Several red plum trees by the lake are competing to bloom, and the thick plum fragrance overflows the whole valley, which makes people marvel that there is such a grand scene in the world!On the opposite side of the valley, there is a stone ladder, carved with jade railings, leading directly to the top of the mountain.He secretly guessed that the road he walked just now should be a secret road, and judging by the light of the handrail of the stone ladder, he guessed that this was the right road.He looked around briefly, then hid himself in the shadows, and began to look for Shangguan Yunhe.But after looking for a long time, I didn't even find a shadow.

Suddenly, the water splashed, and a small boat floated out from behind a boulder.He Bomeng took a closer look, but saw Shangguan Yunhe paddling towards the center of the lake...He Bomeng took the opportunity to find a more secluded place to hide, and watched the movement in the lake from a distance.Shangguan Yunhe didn't stay long, and didn't go anywhere else. He just walked around the center of the lake and came back.She locked her eyebrows, looked at the stone steps, shook her head, turned sideways, and crawled into the crevice where she came.

He Bomeng waited for a long time, but when there was no more movement, he carefully followed Shangguan Yunhe's path, found the small boat, and rowed towards the center of the lake to find out.

The lake doesn't look big, but when I really rowed in the lake, I found out that it is actually very big.The warm breath of the blue lake water makes people drowsy.There is a stone in the center of the lake. He Bomeng looked carefully for a long time, and finally found traces of artificial carving on a stone that looked like a pagoda. On the part of the stone immersed in the water, there was a black plum mark engraved with seven plum blossoms. .He hesitated for a moment, then leaned forward and touched it lightly with his hand. Unexpectedly, all the seven flowers could move...

In the white plum forest, Jiang Tianyi and his party followed the black cat, turned left and right, and after a lot of tossing, they finally saw the legendary black plum tree among the white plums.The black cat turned its face away and yelped twice at the three of them, very pleased with itself.

Wei Anguo couldn't help laughing and said: "This cat is really smart, can't it be a jerk?"

Jiang Tian stared one by one, and said unwillingly: "Go, don't talk nonsense, this cat will not work if it follows His Highness." He said, he waved to the black cat, "Mao Tuan'er, come, I will hold you to keep you warm." .”

The black cat responded, walked up to him, rubbed his ankles, and meowed twice.Jiang Tianyi leaned over and picked it up, then smiled at the two people behind him, "Brothers, I'll follow you, okay?"

Knowing that Jiang Tianyi is afraid of ghosts, Wei Anguo nodded quickly and said, "Don't be afraid, Xiaotian, I'll go ahead and open the way."

Li Chengye grabbed him and said anxiously: "Don't go there, have you forgotten what old Lutou said? We have to take the medicine first, in case we get poisoned by the black plum tree, we will be destroyed. "

Hearing this, Jiang Tian nodded again and again, "Yes, why did you forget such an important thing. Quick, take your medicine!" As he spoke, he stretched out a hand and looked at Li Chengye.

Li Chengye was shocked when he saw this, "Young master, isn't the medicine with you?"

"Not here. Don't you usually hold it?" Jiang Tian blinked and was also dumbfounded.

"Hey, this time, do you know how thoughtful my Wei Anguo is?" Wei Anguo took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms with a playful smile, waved it in front of the two of them, took out one, and handed it to Jiang Tianyi. Turning to Li Chengye, he said, "I said, Lao Li, it's not enough for you to protect Xiaotian alone, you know that?"

Li Chengye pursed his lips and snorted disdainfully, "Protecting the young master is our top priority, so naturally we can't be ambiguous! But, as for the trivial things you did, why do you need to be so conspicuous? "

"Hey, you Li Chengye, what's the matter, are you jealous of my good brain?"

"Jealous of you? Just kidding! With your pig-headedness, thank God for not causing trouble for the young master. I don't know who it is. If you turn around, you can't keep up with the team, causing the young master to worry about you."

"Li Chengye! You...!" Wei Anguo couldn't find a word to answer for a while, and couldn't help but blushed.Li Chengye on the side looked at his devastated face very much, and raised his eyebrows proudly.

Jiang Tianyi was very happy to watch the two quarrel, he happily chewed the jelly bean-like secret pill in his mouth, and said vaguely: "The two of you are the most suitable companion, why don't you just live like this for the rest of your life?" Right? When my marriage with Ming is over, I’ll do it for you two, how about it? Brother, I’m righteous enough, right?”

"Justice!"

The two bickering people suddenly blurted out in tacit understanding, Jiang Tianyi was taken aback, and swallowed the unchewed pill with a 'gurgling' sound, choking him and coughing.

Li Chengye glared at Wei Anguo, and hurriedly stepped forward to pat him on the back, "Young Master, are you alright?"

Jiang Tian shook his head and smiled, "It's all right. Let's go ahead and have a look?"

Wei Anguo responded honestly, stuffed a pill into his mouth, and handed another one to Li Chengye.

The three of them stopped arguing and ran straight to the black plum tree.After half a circle, the grave-like black tree hole was exposed.The black plum blossoms that failed to bloom fell in twos and threes from the branches, like the ashes flying in the sky when burning paper money for the dead, and the tree hole opened a big mouth, which seemed to be swallowed Everything in this world...

As soon as Jiang Tian looked at it, he suddenly felt that the tree hole seemed to have a nose and eyes, as if he was still grinning...

He shivered, shrunk his neck, hid behind Li Chengye, suppressed his trembling voice and said, "Brother Chengye, is there really a mechanism in that hole? I think it's just an ordinary tree hole."

Li Chengye frowned, "I don't know what His Highness the Crown Prince saw, so he would be suspicious of this place. However, the black plum has always been the seal of the Liuyun Sect, and Shangguan Yunhe said that this tree is the treasure of their Sect. This tree hole, It should be a little tricky."

Wei Anguo also took a closer look and shook his head, "What's so special? Why didn't I see it?"

"If you could tell, His Royal Highness would not ask the young master to come."

Jiang Tianyi smiled embarrassedly, "Brother Chengye, don't put gold on my face, Your Highness asked me to come to show me my courage."

Li Chengye twitched the corner of his mouth in embarrassment, and Wei Anguo rolled his eyes at him, "Lao Li, aren't you quite capable? Tell me, what should I do?"

Li Chengye protected Jiang Tianyi, approached the tree hole a little bit, pondered for a while, and then discussed: "How about throwing a torch to try the situation below?"

Wei Anguo immediately found a fire pocket and a small pine oil torch from the treasure bag, "Xiaotian, let's try it?"

Jiang Tianyi hid behind Li Chengye, only sticking out the top of his head, "Okay, let's try. If there is nothing unusual, let's go back. I think this place is getting more and more creepy."

The black cat meowed twice, making Jiang Tianyi's hairs stand on end in fright.He raised his hand and patted the cat's head, grabbed Li Chengye's clothes, and whispered: "Have you tried it? Can we go?"

Wei Anguo lit the torch, and hurriedly said: "It will be ready soon, Xiaotian, don't be afraid, we will go back in a while." After saying that, he threw the torch down.

Li Chengye dragged Jiang Tianyi forward again, and together with Wei Anguo, observed the torch.The torch was not blocked by anything, and fell vertically. The fire did not go out, and in the end there was only a red dot left...

Li Chengye touched the three strands of black beard on his chin, thoughtfully.Seeing him like this, Wei Anguo knew that he was thinking about this matter carefully, so he didn't dare to disturb him, and just looked at the tree hole.

Jiang Tianyi waited for a long time, but the two of them didn't make a sound. He couldn't help being a little anxious, so he poked his head out and took a look.

"Ahhh!" With a scream, Jiang Tian turned around and ran, not forgetting to catch Li Chengye and Wei Anguo beside him.

Li Chengye followed Jiang Tianyi for a few steps, feeling something was wrong.Just now a cluster of green will-o'-the-wisps suddenly emerged from the tree hole, Jiang Tianyi yelled, and the two of them were dragged away.But he kept muttering in his heart, if it was a will-o'-the-wisp, why did he always feel that the fire would not move, like a dead thing?Thinking about it, he not only looked back, but saw clusters of will-o'-the-wisps jumping out of the tree holes, and some of them flew higher and landed on the snow, but they didn't seem to want to extinguish them at all. Still green, looks like...

Li Chengye suddenly realized, "Kaba" stopped his steps, grabbed Jiang Tianyi, and said in surprise: "Young master, we have made a fortune!"
