The entire forest was like a prairie fire, stretching outward for several miles.
Walking among them, the faint fragrance of tea and woody fragrance fill your nose. The sound of rustling leaves brings out the tranquility of the forest. All you can see is the fiery red.
A maple leaf was gently picked off, and Chi Meng happily placed it in front of his eyes.
"I haven't seen this kind of scenery for a long time!"
Li Jing was admiring the beautiful scenery around him, tilted his head and asked curiously: "The southern Xinjiang area seems to have little connection with your Ten Thousand Poison Cave?"
Chi dreamed about it and shook his head.
"When Dad and the Poisonous Bastard built the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, most of the people they recruited were people from Northern Xinjiang. There is not a large population in Southern Xinjiang, and most of them live in seclusion in small villages and do not communicate with the outside world..."
The empress nodded, took Chi Meng's words, and stared forward with her phoenix eyes: "From this point of view, it may be because she is close to the Twelve Cave..."
"So, this must be the Luohua Cave."
Everyone looked up and saw that in the maple forest on both sides of the road ahead, flags began to appear. The blood-red flags were decorated with iron horns.
Linlin's flags stretched all the way to a majestic jade-framed cave door at the end of the road.
Two huge tusks lean on both sides of the cave door. Inside, a bone relief sits on the stone platform. Two tall stone pillars, topped by ox-horn curved arches, are hung with plain white ribbons.
Chi Meng's little mouth opened slightly, and he slowly walked forward with the footsteps of everyone, and saw a row of fiery red figures coming out of the cave door.
The tall figure in the lead has a silver hair crown on his head, exquisite makeup and a cold face.
The row of women behind him are also extremely tall, but they all wear red veils, only revealing their full eyes.
The empress frowned and pulled Li Jing, who was walking in front.
"These people are the Luohua Cave girls?"
Li Jing turned to look at Hou Qing, and saw that he was playing with the bone flute in his hand and muttering something in his mouth. He did not notice the row of beautiful women walking out in front of him.
"beauty!…"
Chi Meng looked like a nymphomaniac in his eyes, holding his face and mumbling to himself.
Li Jing coughed, cupped his hands and bowed to each other from a distance: "People who have traveled far away have come here in search of the Twelve Cave. I heard that there is a Huagu Valley behind the cave, which is the only way to the Twelve Cave. Please let the four of us go. past."
"There is a man..."
Next to the long-haired woman with a silver crown, a woman in red gauze was whispering.
Chi Meng was stunned and looked at Li Jing distressedly: "They won't let the man pass?"
But the long-haired woman nodded slightly, her voice slightly magnetic.
"It's not easy for Alang and Aya to come all the way."
"The cave girl Qianwu, on behalf of Luohua Cave, welcomes everyone..."
Chi Meng tilted his head and looked at the Luohua Cave girl Qianwu dumbly: "Ah?"
The empress snorted lightly and walked away from Li Jing with her hands behind her back. The row of red-clothed cave girls standing on the steps spread out to both sides.
Li Jing frowned and pulled Chi Meng, who was still secretly dazed, to follow him and walk up the steps.
Qianwu had a kind smile on his face and bowed slightly.
"Alang, Aya, please come inside."
Li Jing and others nodded politely and returned the salute before heading in. The cave girls in red on both sides slowly followed.
Qianwu looked at the light golden hair on Hou Qing's head, hid the smile on his face, and followed a few people into the cave door.
The door of the cave was slowly and gently closed, blocking out the light outside.
…
The fiery maple leaves can be seen everywhere even in the Falling Flower Cave. The red leaves falling from the sky fell to the ground, covering the ground with a red carpet.
The clear spring jingles and the slowly moving waterwheel flows down the river.
The houses are exquisite in shape and arranged at random. From this, it can be seen that there are not a few women in this cave, and it can even be called a small village of decent size.
Two women in red clothes led the way. Qianwu walked beside Li Jing, her hands with delicate bracelets folded in front of her belly.
"It turns out that the Painted Valley is the Twelve Cave, but Qianwu didn't know... that Alang was interested."
Li Jing nodded lightly and said with a smile: "I only found out by asking around. The Twelve Cave has been hidden from the world for a long time. If outsiders want to explore this place, it will take some effort. I just want to bother you..."
After a pause, Li Jing looked at the empress with a smile, and then continued: "One more thing... Qianwu Cave Master, does he know if a Central Plains man has come here in the past fifteen years..."
The empress's eyes narrowed slightly, and she walked calmly beside Li Jing with her hands behind her back, waiting for Qianwu to make a sound.
Qianwu's beautiful eyes curved and he shook his head.
"Qianwu didn't know that, so Alang and Aya went to Twelve Cave to look for someone?"
Before Li Jing could answer, Chi Meng had already spoken out, pleading sincerely: "Yes, yes! Let's go in and find someone and then come out. Sister Qianwu, just let us go..."
Li Jing laughed dumbly and kept nodding his head in agreement: "Please ask Qianwu Cave Master for your convenience..."
Qianwu smiled but did not answer, did not avoid Li Jing's gaze, and looked at each other.
"Alang and Aya must be very tired after coming all the way. Hot water has been prepared in the cave..."
"No need!"
Before Qianwu finished speaking, Li Jing raised his hand to interrupt, with a sincere look: "Qianwu Cave Master, please see, all four of us are intact and have no injuries, so I won't bother you more."
Qianwu was stunned, stepped onto the wooden stairs and stopped, then turned to look at Li Jing and the others.
"Don't be surprised, Lang. Since the cave is full of women, we also invited the two Langs to take a bath in the side cave..."
A cold light flashed before everyone's eyes, and a long sword was inserted at Qianwu's feet.
"Master Qianwu Cave, I really don't mean to offend, but Li's words are very clear... let us enter the Painting Valley. If possible, we can come out of Twelve Cave and talk about it again."
Qianwu's eyes narrowed slightly, but his hands were still placed quietly in front of his abdomen.
"Alang, Fei Qianwu doesn't want you to enter the Painting Valley. But the Lord Dongshen hasn't returned yet. Without his order, I won't let you go."
Li Jing's momentum froze, and the cave girls in red on both sides just looked at him defensively.
Don't reach out and hit the smiling person. It's really hard to do anything to someone who is too polite...
The empress next to her remained silent. Chi Meng stared at him with wide eyes, and Li Jing frowned.
"Is there any difference between your cave god and him?"
Qianwu's eyes followed Li Jing's fingers and landed on Hou Qing's face.
Everyone present was stunned, and Hou Qing pointed at himself with his finger.
"I?"
Qianwu shook his head as if laughing, turned around and walked up the wooden ladder.
"Alang, please don't joke, Lord Dongshen..."
"Wait!"
Li Jing shouted low, attracting everyone's attention, and walked behind Hou Qing with a serious face, looking at Qianwu: "Master Qianwu Cave, please take a look..."
Li Jing took off Hou Qing's red hairband, which was tied into a high ponytail, and her light golden hair hung down.
Hou Qing looked at Qianwu indifferently, with a relaxed expression: "I know that I am a stunning beauty in the world, but Brother Li, please don't exaggerate me."
But Qianwu, who was standing in front of everyone, was stunned and his brows furrowed slightly.
