That afternoon, the wind was warm and the flowers were fragrant.

Zhuozhuo fed the kitten while chatting with Mu Gui: "You grew up in Jingzhou, is there any fun place in Jingzhou?"

After a pause, Zhuo Zhuo deliberately inquired: "Is that so? There are always strange things happening?"

Although he was planning to tell the trap, the young man Mu Gui was silent for a moment, but asked curiously, "Why do you want to know about the dangerous place?"

"Do you know about cultivating immortals? My great-grandfather likes cultivating immortals very much. And in my aunt's storybook, the more terrifying the strange pools and caves are, the more likely they are to hide fortune and adventure!" Zhuozhuo sighed softly, feeling quite emotional: "I want to go on adventures! Venture into the martial arts world! Travel around the world! Seek immortals and ask for the way! But since I was a child, there are always assassinations every few years. My mother can't help but worry that I will get hurt if I leave home."

Mu Gui thought of his aunt's secret technique and tested her: "Do you know any techniques?"

"I just memorized it by heart." Zhuozhuo was inevitably discouraged: "My grandmother is extremely talented in fortune-telling, but I am not good at spells, and it seems that I am not good at fortune-telling either."

After an awkward silence, Mu Gui asked casually, "Zhuozhuo, have you ever heard of the Red Flame Forbidden Land?"

"Chiyan? Forbidden land?" Zhuozhuo suddenly realized: "Is it the former holy mountain of the barbarians, Chiyan?"

"Zhuozhuo is right. It is said that at night, the ghosts of the barbarians come out to haunt Chiyan Mountain, robbing cattle and sheep from the people's homes, and even kidnapped several newborn babies some time ago."

"Zhuozhuo, there are some scary things in that cave."

Hearing this, Zhuozhuo was secretly alert: Are the barbarians trying to cause trouble again? So, is Mu Gui really the barbarian spy that Uncle Yan mentioned?

"...Really?" Zhuozhu pretended to be shocked and asked, "Then let's go and take a look secretly?"

She patted Mu Gui on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Don't worry! Just don't get caught by my father or Uncle Yan! If I act like a spoiled brat, my mother won't punish me too severely! And I'm loyal! I won't betray you!"

Seeing that success was in sight, the young man said patiently: "You saved me. If you want to find out the truth, I will accompany you."

"My mother is cooking tonight! The hand-shredded chicken tastes delicious!" Zhuozhuo thought for a while and said, "Let's go late at night! It's quiet at night, just the right time to do bad things! That's right! There is also osmanthus wine tonight! Your injury is not fully healed, so you can't drink it for the time being. But it doesn't matter, I will celebrate for you when your injury is completely healed..."

The girl is full of expectations and imagines the future.

But Mu Gui's eyes gradually turned colder when no one noticed.

Half an hour later, in the wisteria flower room.

Zhuozhuo told Xuanyuan Chong about her plan in detail, "If I bring secret guards, Mu Gui and the people behind him will definitely be alert. So I brought Ye Linxiang. Ah Chong, you keep an eye on the blue fireflies in the glass cup. If I don't come back by dawn, mother can also use fireflies to find me."

Even Xuanyuan Chong, who was used to climbing up the roof and removing tiles on weekdays, was worried at this moment: "Sister, I will follow you."

"Forgot what mother taught me? Keep a backup plan." Zhuozhuo said seriously: "A Chong, you are my backup plan. If I really fall into the trap, at least I still have you."

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Chong clenched the glass cup tightly, "Don't worry, sister, I will definitely bring mother to rescue you!"

As night falls, the moon reaches its peak.

The sky in midsummer is full of stars, illuminating the adventure journey of the girl and the boy.

Zhaocheng Villa is not far from the Chiyan Mountain, thanks to the snow-covered land that the girl had just won.

And sixteen years was enough time for weeds and wild trees to cover the entire mountain.

The mountain became shrouded in fog, and was infested with snakes, insects, rats and ants. One could even occasionally hear the howling of wild beasts. It became a so-called forbidden area.

We traveled day and night and successfully entered the Chiyan Mountain Road.

There was no mechanism to stop her, and the young man took her to the top of the mountain to reach the Red Flame Golden Palace with familiarity.

Zhuozhu's heart sank as she carefully looked at the mottled walls of the palace, the crooked tables and chairs scattered on the ground, the fallen and broken candlesticks, and the charred floor tiles that were mostly burned. After a long silence, she murmured curiously, "Mu Gui, where is the dead soul you mentioned?"

"It is said that it is there." The young man picked up his sword and pushed aside the thick vines covering the cave entrance.

In the very center of the Red Flame Golden Palace is a mountain corridor with the ground sunken into a line.

A moment later, the girl reached the deepest part of the mountain path and stared at the ingenious holes carved by the craftsmen.

As the young man used a torch to light the candles on the wall of the pit, what suddenly came into Bao's eyes was a huge monster, a giant python skeleton as tall as eighteen or nineteen people stacked together, white and terrifying.

In the corners there are densely packed black-scaled python skins that were shed when the giant python was alive.

The fallen rocks and debris that can be seen everywhere silently tell of the tragic fight that once took place here.

"My mother once told me about a giant black-scaled python. Could this skeleton be it?"

"It was a giant black-scaled python. It died under the sword of the master of Futu Mountain."

Before he finished speaking, the girl, sensing the sword wind, quickly dodged and stepped back, drew her sword from its sheath, and pointed it directly at her companions who had come along with her.

"I thought that after spending more than ten days together, you would change your mind."

"Revenge for my father, mother, and people is the responsibility I have carried for the past sixteen years."

The young man Mu Gui clenched the hilt of his sword, frowned and said, "I'm just surprised that you can use a sword?"

The spoiled princess laughed and played all day long. He thought that the sword inlaid with gold and silver was just something the little girl carried with her for fun.

Hearing this, Zhuozhuo said coldly: "My mother said that it would be too inconvenient for me to travel the world without knowing some sword skills."

"Mu Gui, you should be thankful that it was me you were trying to deceive."

"If it were my brother, the Northern Liang Qin family's swordsmanship, you would be dead within ten moves."

At the same time, on the hillside of Chiyan Mountain.

In fact, as soon as the girl left the villa, a dark shadow delivered a letter to the Beiyuan study.

At this moment, meeting an old friend again after not seeing him for sixteen years, Xu Ying was in a trance for a moment before she said, "How are you?"
