shut up, shameless old thief

By the time Bian Ling strolled across the rickety cable bridge, Ji Bingzhu had already climbed to the side of the tree to pick fruit, and the new clothes he had just changed after leaving the house were dirty by him within a quarter of an hour. And chaos.

Bian Ling looked at him coldly and said, "Senior."

Ji Bingzhu wrapped the fruit he picked in his clothes, jumped down happily, and shouted: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, hurry up and go away."

As he spoke, he was going to pull Bianling's sleeves, but as soon as he opened his hands, the fruit he was holding in his clothes rolled all over the floor, and Ji Bingzhu squatted down to pick it up with a "wow".

Bian Ling also bent down to pick up a few for him, and found a problem when he handed them to him. He pointed to Ji Bingzhu's earlobe and asked, "Where is Aya?"

When the Crow Feather Sword is not in use, it turns into a small black feather and hangs by Ji Bingzhu's ear. After a long time, I get used to the existence of that feather, but now it suddenly disappears, and I still feel a bit uncomfortable for a while. adapt.

Ji Bingzhu said casually: "He's afraid of the water, so I didn't take him with me and let him play at home by himself—thank you, Ling, can you hold it for me?"

With a big hand, Bian Ling put the pile of fruits into the small cloth bag he was holding, and Ji Bingzhu laughed, and babbled and danced to lead the way.

Because of the late autumn, most of the leaves on Luomo Mountain had fallen, and the branches were bare and desolate.

Ji Bingzhu was leading the way, and he was holding an umbrella with great interest, but before he left for a while, he felt that the umbrella was in the way and threw it on the side of the road impatiently.

Bian Ling has been following him for three steps not too far away, sighed helplessly when he saw this, picked up the tattered umbrella and held it in his hand.

The two walked slowly like this for more than half an hour, and the surrounding trees became less and less. When they climbed up a steep hillside, they finally reached a huge cave-like entrance.

Ji Bingzhu's hair was covered with snow, he shook his head casually, took a few steps back, took out a few fruits from the edge cloth bag, and stopped in place.

Bian Ling said, "What's wrong?"

Ji Bingzhu shook his hands twice, and threw the two fruits directly into the dark cave. After a few dull sounds came from inside, he fell silent.

After Ji Bingzhu finished throwing it away, he turned around and said, "A Ya and I came to this place once, and Shi Yuan said that if we want to pass this place, we must take out something as a toll."

Bian Ling was a little speechless, "So you take two fruits as tolls?"

Ji Bingzhu: "Yes, what's the problem?"

Bian Ling: "..."

While the two of them were talking, a ferocious beast roared suddenly from the silent cave. The sound was so deafening that it almost collapsed the cave, but the roar was only one sound, and soon disappeared.

Bian Ling was wondering, but saw a whitish spot of light suddenly appearing in the dark cave, as if the opposite cave had opened.

Ji Bingzhu happily said: "Look, look, as long as there is a toll, you can pass."

The tunnel is really too long, at a glance, only the white light at the exit is a little bright, and the rest of the place is as dark as ink, as if a fierce beast will appear from it in the next moment and swallow people in one gulp.

Bian Ling went to the entrance and lit a torch, but before he got in, the flame was suddenly extinguished by an unknown force. Ji Bingzhu explained later: "This place cannot be illuminated by any means, even if it is inside a fierce beast. Dan took it in and couldn't emit any light."

Only then did Bian Ling give up, and he was not afraid of the dark, so he walked in directly.

But after walking two steps, he turned his head and Ji Bingzhu was still standing at the entrance, his eyes fixed on him, as if he wanted to follow but didn't dare.

Bian Ling walked back, frowned and said, "You can't..."

Ji Bingzhu trembled, looked up at him slightly, his eyes seemed to be overflowing with water.

After Bian Ling Youyou finished the last half of the sentence, he said, "You are afraid of the dark, aren't you?"

Ji Bingzhu shrank his shoulders, carefully compared a small height with his hands, and said in a low voice: "Just... just a little, just a little bit of fear."

Bian Ling couldn't help but smile, with a warm smile in his eyes, he stretched out his hand towards Ji Bingzhu, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'll hold you."

Ji Bingzhu raised his head slightly, stared blankly at him, and instinctively put his hand in Bian Ling's warm palm.

His hand was soft and cold, wrapped in Bian Ling's palm, a warm current spread along his veins, and the place he passed was like a spring on a dead tree, warming the frozen blood to start flowing again, Even the slow beating heart seemed to be moved together.

Thump, thump.

Ji Bingzhu could almost hear his own heartbeat, one after another.

This strange feeling was something he had never experienced in his more than 700 years of life. His first reaction was not joy, but fear.

The violently beating heart and the strange emotion gradually spread from the bottom of his heart to his whole body, causing his body to tremble violently involuntarily.

Bian Ling pulled him into the dark cave, and before he took a few steps, he felt the hand he was holding suddenly began to tremble, and the trembling frequency was so high that he could hardly grasp it.

As soon as Bian Ling turned around, he grabbed Ji Bingzhu's wrist, held it tightly, and tried to slow down his voice: "What's wrong? Are you still scared?"

Ji Bingzhu didn't speak, Bian Ling said helplessly: "If you're afraid, why do you have to come here? Isn't it good to stay at home?"

At this time, Ji Bingzhu spoke softly, "Home?"

Bian Ling: "Isn't it?"

Ji Bingzhu seemed to be thinking, but his hands were still shaking.

This is not a place to talk at all, Bian Ling had no choice but to take a step forward and open his arms, wrapped Ji Bingzhu in his cloak, and said softly for the first time in his life: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, Close your eyes if you’re afraid of the dark, we’ll be there soon.”

As soon as the words fell, Ji Bingzhu's slender body shook even more violently. After a while, he said slowly with a little crying: "Well, you, don't let me go."

Bian Ling touched his head in the dark, and when he went down, he touched the water stains of his hand. Bian Ling suddenly felt a little funny. Ji Bingzhu, who is so powerful in the outside world, would be afraid Hei was so scared that he cried.

Thinking of this, Bian Ling picked up Ji Bingzhu horizontally, quickened his pace, and quickly walked out of the dark tunnel.

After the two walked out, the entrance was instantly closed, like a wall, and it was completely impossible to see that there was an exit here just now.

Ji Bingzhu, who had been peacefully in his arms just now, became a good man again when he saw the light. He threw off the cloak that was covering him, jumped out of Bian Ling's arms, and yelled "Wow!" .

Bian Ling turned around and was shocked by the scene in front of him.

In front of them is a huge crater, with jagged rocks on the ground, and the pitch-black and inner-green ground are interlaced, which outlines a shocking and strange scene. Standing on the edge of the volcano, they are as small as a drop in the ocean. .

What's even weirder is that the crater seems to have been forcibly drawn with a clear line. Half of the sky is covered with snow and ice slag, and the other half is like hot summer. The ground is so hot that it is untenable.

Bian Ling walked forward for a while, looking down at the edge of the crater, the volcano was also separated by a line, and the hot magma on one side was like a snow-covered wasteland, which was truly spectacular.

Ji Bingzhu ran around on the edge of the crater, barefoot and not afraid of the cold or heat. After running around for a while, he jumped back to Bian Ling, his eyes were shining, "Aling, Aling, do you look good? This is where the whole queen The mountain is the most beautiful and fun place, Nana, don’t you think?”

Bian Ling nodded. This scene is indeed shocking, and the naturally formed beauty can hit people's hearts the most.

Ji Bingzhu's face was covered in sweat from running, which also covered his tears just now, Bian Ling looked at him with a smile, and said, "Then where is the hot spring you mentioned?"

Ji Bingzhu narrowed his eyes and said, "Come with me, that place is hard to find."

He said and ran to lead the way, Bian Ling was not afraid of him getting lost, and followed him step by step. No matter how fast Ji Bingzhu ran, he would always follow within three steps behind him, neither far nor close.

That place was really hard to find, Ji Bingzhu took Bian Ling to run around the crater twice, and then saw a slanted hidden entrance on a steep slope, he pulled Bian Ling and slid down through the smooth entrance.

The two fell all the way to the mouth of the cave, and when they landed, they were suffocated by the rushing heat.

The space in this cave is really large, and the end can't be seen at a glance, and the sky is filled with smoke, all of which are the heat from the huge hot springs below.

It is indeed a good place to soak in hot springs.

Ever since Ji Bingzhu arrived here, he has been very excited. He ran a few steps, quickly took off his clothes and jumped directly into the biggest hot spring beside him. The heat spread upwards, making Bian Ling hardly see his face for a while.

Ji Bingzhu: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Bian Ling stepped forward and folded the clothes that Ji Bingzhu had thrown aside, then sat aside and said indifferently: "No need, just play by yourself."

There are several natural holes in the stone wall above, and the light pours down from above, so that the entire space will not be so dark.

Ji Bingzhu fluttered for a while, paddled to Bian Ling's side, lay on the stone beside him and asked curiously: "Why? It's very comfortable here, ah, yes, there are stars, look!"

Bian Ling looked up in the direction he pointed, and he saw the stars that Ji Bingzhu said. The mountain wall was covered with glittering "stars", which looked like gems at first glance. sparkling with light.

Bian Ling thought it was extremely beautiful at first, but soon he found that the "star" seemed to blink slightly after a period of pause, and in this quiet cave, there seemed to be a series of low "cuckoo" sounds.

Bian Ling froze, then stood up immediately as if remembering something, with a red light flashing in his hand, Xin Tinghou was held in his palm, shining red light.

Bian Ling said coldly: "Come out!"

Ji Bingzhu didn't know why, and asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

Bian Ling: "That's not a star at all! Those are the eyes of a black owl! The black owl is a beast that is rumored to live in hot places, and just one of them can suck up the spiritual energy of a person's whole body!"

Bian Ling's voice changed when he said this, and he was also to blame. How could he believe Ji Bingzhu's nonsense? Before he came, he should have known that there is no completely safe place in this dangerous Luomo Mountain.

Ji Bingzhu leaned on the stone and tilted his head, "Ah? Black owl?"

If it weren't for the urgent situation now, Bian Ling really wished that Ji Bingzhu would copy all the other books about common sense in the study a hundred times after he went back.

Bian Ling retreated to Ji Bingzhu's side, and said sharply: "Ah, what? Get up, this mountain wall is full of black owls, at least hundreds of them. They usually move silently, no matter how powerful you are, you won't be able to notice them." Come on, you will die, do you understand?"

Bian Ling really wanted to yell at Ji Bingzhu, he really didn't know how this man lived in Luomo Mountain for so many years.
