The stream outside Taoyuan is filled with fog all year round, but the peach grove around its bank is not affected at all. Especially in this early summer, the late-season peach blossoms unique to Taoyuan are in full bloom. The pink flowers are dense and rich. They are pressed on the branches and fall into the stream when the wind blows them gently. Along the stream, As it flows downward, it is as fascinating as a sea of flowers.
This time, there was a raft in this sparsely populated sea of flowers, and two people were lying on the raft. There were two people, a man and a woman, both of whom were already unconscious. The man was slender and his long hair was messy. Although his face was dirty and tired, but if you looked closely, you could see that he was half cute, half handsome, and half inexplicable. Although the clothes were tattered and unseemly, he still had clear muscles and a healthy complexion, making him look like a young man in his early twenties. This young man was Shui Han.
In fact, Shui Han originally wanted to hold on until the raft returned to the mainstream of Yishui along the current, and after finally being rescued, he would return to Taoyuan and have a good sleep. However, he made two mistakes. First, they went along the way. The water flowed down and did not return to the main stream of Yishui but to the creek outside Taoyuan. Logically speaking, this should be regarded as a coincidence of good news, but the problem was the second one. Shuihan couldn't hold on halfway and fainted. In the past, he was now unconscious with the unconscious Gui Wu in this wilderness. By the time the people in Taoyuan found out, they would probably be dead long ago.
In the confusion, Shui Han opened his eyes with difficulty and saw the scene in front of him. He quickly remembered the situation when Jingmen brought him to Taoyuan for the first time, and he felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart. Although it was different from what he expected, it still happened. Now that I have reached the outside of Taoyuan, God will help me. Shui Han's ecstasy disappeared immediately when he saw that his raft was stuck on the shore by a stone. Now that his body was extremely weak, and this place was quite far away from Taoyuan, Shui Han tried to move it with a giant stone. He tried to drive the stone, but he quickly gave up, because now he couldn't even lift the giant. Just when the giant that had just been lifted halfway in his hand fell on the raft, Shui Han felt that his consciousness had already It's starting to blur.
He knew very well that his body would not be able to support him for long. Shui Han lay down on the raft, looked at the ghost dance next to him, and then looked around. Soon he discovered that there were some black figures not far from the shore. When she took a closer look, it looked like some black wooden houses. She touched something on her body, and when she touched it, she found a fire seal. This fire seal was on her body when she went on a mission. Later, because there was a glowing spell at the beginning of the day, it was never used. Huozhezi, a black wooden house. He immediately remembered the story Fatty Wen told him before about King Zhou You playing with the princes with beacon fire. If he lit this black wooden house, it was not far from Taoyuan. The people in Taoyuan would definitely send fire when they saw the smoke. If people come over and can't see it, they can only accept their fate. But now, the only choice is to take a gamble.
Shui Han dragged his body that was about to collapse onto the shore, holding a fire stick in his hand, and slowly walked towards the black wooden house. At this moment, his feet seemed to be hung with shackles weighing a thousand kilograms, and his eyelids became extremely heavy. , the black wooden house was clearly in front of him, but it seemed to be both illusion and reality. He couldn't get to it. Shui Han was so anxious that he couldn't hold on anymore. He fell next to the black wooden house, and Huo Zhezi also fell on it. On the ground, that's it, is it over?
I felt unwilling but had no choice but to turn my consciousness into darkness and deathly silence.
In the mist, a girl wearing a large black robe stepped on the grass beside Shui Han, picked up the fire folding paper, pulled it out, and blew it. The small paper roll suddenly burst into flames. The girl immediately threw it towards the black wooden house. The girl who completed a series of actions neatly was none other than Gui Wu, who had been unconscious before. At this moment, Xiao Wu looked at the blazing fire in front of him with an expressionless face. Her eyes were dancing, and there was a hint of inexplicable weirdness in the bright scene.
Under the light of the fire, Xiao Wu turned around, looked at Shui Han, suddenly raised the corners of her mouth, and said lightly:
"interesting."
The sound was very strange.
Whether it was an illusion of light and shadow, Xiao Wu's expression at that time was actually endlessly ferocious.
…
The residence of Xiansheng.
Dongfang Bai settled down the dozens of people who had just come from Tao'an, looking a little tired. Furong looked at her eldest sister, feeling a little distressed. Although the eldest sister was the oldest among the three sisters, she was still a female streamer after all. He has been shouldering the teachings of his ancestors and taking care of everything in the medical sect on his own. He must have felt very tired under his always calm appearance. Dongfang Bai noticed the way Furong looked at him, patted her shoulder gently and said calmly:
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Furong lowered her head in embarrassment, raised her hand to brush away the tears from her eyes, and immediately changed the subject:
"I've checked, and the poison those people were poisoned by is very strange. It seems to be similar to the poison poisoned by the young man named Liu Yun who came before, but it's not quite the same."
Dongfang Bai nodded and said:
"This kind of poison spreads straight up along the mana meridians. Although it will not endanger the life of ordinary people very quickly, in the long run, it will definitely spread to the brain and make people suffer from mental breakdown. Now I use silver needles to temporarily seal their Important context, but this method can only be regarded as delaying time, the key is to wait until Haitang finds the source of the poison."
Dongfang Furong looked out the window. The girl's unique petite body looked even more petite and childish under the breeze outside the window. In contrast to Dongfang Bai's mature female temperament, she felt a sense of inexplicable joy. She said:
"Second sister, she should be arriving at Tao'an soon."
Dongfang Bai hummed and said nothing.
Outside the window, on the other side of Mirror Lake, flowers are in full bloom.
