The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

Xu Xiaobei was already impatient and urged: "Hey, let's go, Ding Xiang, you are tired too, it's time to go back and have a good rest."

Ding Xiang nodded, said "thank you" to Bai Chen again, then turned and left.

Bai Chen looked at their backs thoughtfully, suddenly thought of something, and shouted: "Miss Lilac, if you must go, remember, if you see the black river flowing in the yellow sand, or the black river built on the high ground, You must stay away from the lonely temple on the cliff..."

Ding Xiang was stunned for a moment and wanted to ask what it meant, but when she looked back, Bai Chen had disappeared.

Back at her residence, Lilac washed the purple bamboo roots with water.

After removing the dirt, the bamboo roots were indeed revealed, segment by segment, but the color was as dark red as blood.

After refining it with a simple technique, she mixed it with the elixir she had brought with her and took it. Sure enough, the feeling that her body veins were inconsistent with the earth's veins was gone, and the direction of the underground earth's veins became clear in her consciousness.

When she recited the Compass Sutra and used the Six Void Wheels again, she felt relaxed and not so tired.

However, Ding Xiang knew very well that such a purple bamboo root alone could not solve the fundamental problem.

The reason why the purple bamboo root is effective is that it absorbs the energy of the earth's veins in this place and merges into one during the growth of the purple bamboo.

Taking it into medicine can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.

But with such an effect, Ding Xiang is already very satisfied.

She used the Six Void Rotation Technique to search for the auras of Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei in the surrounding time and space, but unfortunately found nothing.

"Still not?" Xu Xiaobei asked.

Ding Xiang nodded, her face full of worry: "It seems that Huihang didn't stop in Zhangmu, we chose the wrong place."

"Not necessarily." Xu Xiaobei said, "They stopped many times along the way, which shows that Huihang is not in a hurry. And judging from the distance of stops, it is also regular. This is the most important port on the border. There is a deserted land in front and behind, so Huihang should have rested in Zhangmu, so there is only one possibility..."

"what?"

"His lair is not far from here."

Xu Xiaobei's words excited both Dingxiang and Wuhua.

After all, we have chased him for six thousand kilometers. If we lose him here, it would be very discouraging.

"Xiao Bei, that's good. You have a very good brain. No wonder your father has high hopes for you." Ding Xiang praised with a smile.

"That's right!" Xu Xiaobei laughed.

Ding Xiang thought of Bai Chen again.

"What do you mean by the black river flowing in the yellow sand and the lonely temple built on the high cliff? Why should you stay away?"

"Hey, this is all made up by that pretty boy to scare people." Xu Xiaobei said disdainfully.

"Why would she make it up?"

"Isn't it just to get close to you and attract your attention? Look, you are thinking about this now. When you think about this, you will definitely think of him. Won't his purpose succeed?"

"Xiao Bei, don't let the heart of a villain judge the heart of a gentleman."

"Ah? In your eyes, I am a villain and he is a gentleman?" Xu Xiaobei was extremely angry.

Ding Xiang chuckled: "Okay, don't be so stingy. Don't you see, that Bai Chen is a master. If he has any ill intentions towards us, he can just make up a place to trick us into going there. Why bother saying such strange things? ?”

"A master? I think he is a master of picking up girls!" Xu Xiaobei disagreed.

Monk Wuhua said: "Dingxiang was asking about the price just now, and the two of us were standing on the edge. Logically speaking, with the magical powers of the three of us, it is impossible for someone to come to us without knowing it. But Bai Chen... at least I didn't find anything about him. It’s time to come.”

Xu Xiaobei was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, it seemed that this was indeed the case.

Ding Xiang said: "I didn't notice it either, so I can conclude that he is a master. And... I always feel like I have seen him somewhere, especially the look in his eyes..."

"Is it an illusion? In addition to studying in Qiantang, you also know countless people in Hecheng. I know that when women see handsome boys, they feel a sense of déjà vu just like when men see beautiful women." Xu Xiaobei Said a little sourly.

"What are you talking about!" Ding Xiang rolled her eyes at him.

Xu Xiaobei curled his lips: "Forget it, don't think too much, go to bed early, we have to rush tomorrow, try to find Huihang's lair, rescue Xiaohei, Xiaobai, and the relics of Master Zhiren."

In fact, none of the three of them were sure about facing Huihang, but it was not appropriate to say anything discouraging at this time.

They booked two rooms in total, one for Dingxiang and one for Wuhua and Xu Xiaobei.

When she woke up early the next morning, Ding Xiang saw Xu Xiaobei's eyes were red and asked curiously: "Hey, you didn't sleep well, your eyes are so red?"

Wu Hua smiled and said, "He stayed up all night to guard against thieves. Is it strange that his eyes are not red?"

Ding Xiang asked curiously: "Beware of thieves? What kind of thieves are you guarding against?"

"Whore!" Xu Xiaobei yawned and walked out of the hotel.

Ding Xiang still didn't understand, so Wu Hua said: "He stayed at your door all night, but he gave the poor monk an advantage. He had a room to himself and had a good sleep."

Ding Xiang suddenly realized that it was Bai Chen that Xu Xiaobei was guarding against. She shook her head unconsciously, which was a little funny and a little heart-warming.

The three of them left Zhangmu and headed south into the territory of Niboluo.

After traveling for a period of time, Ding Xiang unexpectedly discovered that she was becoming more and more relaxed when using the Six Void Rotation Technique, and the range of space she could lock was getting wider and wider.

I don't know whether it was because of eating purple bamboo roots or some other reason, but her body veins had a wonderful resonance with the earth veins here, and her body seemed to be able to absorb the energy of the earth veins.

Ding Xiang felt as light as a swallow, and she walked more and more easily.

She seemed to hear a voice from the void in her consciousness, guiding her forward, just like a night traveler seeing a light.

As she walked, she suddenly saw a white figure standing on the desolate path in front of her. It was Bai Chen she met last night.

"Lilac girl!"

"Mr. Bai, why are you here?" Ding Xiang asked.

Xu Xiaobei snorted disdainfully: "I know the pretty boy has no good intentions!"

Bai Chen was not angry and said to Ding Xiang: "Miss Ding Xiang, the front is very dangerous and we can't go any further."

Ding Xiang shook her head and said, "No, I have to go."

"Why do you have to go?" Bai Chen asked.

"Do you care?" Xu Xiaobei said angrily.

Ding Xiang thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Bai, I tell the truth, I want to save people."

"Save who?"

"My friends, a turtle and a snake."

Hearing such an answer, normal people would probably find it difficult to understand, or even think they were being teased.

But Bai Chen just sighed and said: "Since the girl insists on going, then you must remember what I said yesterday. When you see the black river on the yellow sand and the lonely temple on the high cliff, don't get close. keep away."

Ding Xiang nodded, bid farewell to Bai Chen, and moved on.

The front is getting more and more desolate. There used to be a small road, but after a short distance there is no road. Looking to the west, there are only wind-eroded soil forests and deserted ridges that look like alien landscapes, with a few sparsely dotted trees.

"Look, what is that?" Wuhua said, pointing forward.

Ding Xiang looked up and saw a dry river valley in front of her on the land that had been eroded by the wind. At the bottom of the valley, a thin stream of black water flowed.
