not bound

In 1004 of the new calendar, in the southwest corner of Lingxi, in the cloudy night, in the floating forest.

The southwest of the mainland is a country that is almost forgotten by people and has no sense of existence, Yunye.

In the impression of other countries in Lingxi Continent, if Chiguo is the ideal country where people want to live, then Yunye, where there are more animals than people, is the ideal country where animals want to live.

There are many vegetation and rivers in Yunye, and the common and uncommon birds and beasts like to thrive there.From ancient times to the present, many spiritual animals have appeared there, and they are called spirit beasts.

The people of Yunye are very pure and live in harmony with spirit beasts, and they are best at controlling beasts.Legend has it that when every Yunyeren is born, he will find a spirit beast born at the same time as him. As a natal spirit beast, he will stay with him for a lifetime. There are even more bizarre rumors that some spirit beasts can transform into human form and become Yunyeren. companion.

But the real situation is unknown to outsiders, so there are only legends.

There is a forest in the extreme south of Yunye, and it is rumored that strange beasts and ghosts haunt it.Huipo understands human nature and can communicate with human beings through spirit. It looks like a deer and can fly without wings.

This forest has two sides, yin and yang, the yang is the floating life, the vegetation and spirit beasts are flourishing, and the yin is the place of death and rest, where the bones of the spirit beasts are buried forever.

These two forests are like two fishes with heads and tails, they are related and distinct. In the center of each forest is a lake like a round mirror. In the center of the lake is an isolated island. The isolated island supports a temple. Fish's eye, if a cultivator looks from the bottom, he will pinch his thigh and exclaim that this is the Pisces Bright Eyes formation, one of the seven ancient formations of consonance.

There is a pair of stone-carved couplets on the gate of Fushenglin Temple. The upper couplet reads "Mountains, Rivers, Colors, Tibetan Ancient Temple", while the second couplet is blank.

There is also such a couplet on the other side of the death rest, and the words are not bad.

When the setting sun is just stuck on the top of the tallest tree in the floating forest, a gust of cold wind blowing from the dead rest will step over the hill and rush into the floating forest enchantingly, as if a fierce beast roaring with its teeth and claws.

The yang ginger tree is like a guard, sticking to the spot and blocking the yin wind with its body.

At the same time, the birds and beasts in the forest seemed to be ordered by someone to return to their nests and caves in unison, which was too weird.

In this night when everything is silent, there is a star of fire beside the boundless pale emerald lake.

Animals don't need to start a fire, so it must be man-made.

The flames flickered, and it seemed that there were two people sitting on the rocky beach, shadowy.

A few crows that were left behind fluttered their wings and landed on the straight ginger tree branches beside the rocky beach. Their small blue eyes stared at the fire, and there was some surprise in their eyes.

"It's not dark yet, this forest seems to have fallen asleep early, and all the creatures are asleep, but it's true to the rumors, it's quieter, and even the insects don't cry."

A person broke the silence, his voice was low, and the lingering rhyme slowly dispersed in the woods, without violating harmony at all, except that the closest one, Qingyu Night Owl, opened one eye and closed the other.

"Huh." The other person didn't reply for a long time, just hummed a sound from his nose.

"Ah, old Xue, don't you think this lake is very good, you can get water, but things can't sink." The previous voice was not at all embarrassed, and continued to pretend to be fussy.

"Then you have to be thankful that this lake is not the weak water that is not buoyant in the legend, otherwise the feeling of falling off the road halfway and drowning in the lake must be very good, right, the surname Bai."

Xue Banxia smirked at Bai Shu.

Two years ago, Xue Banxia hadn't learned that classic Xue's gentle smile.

Almost thirty people, but because they wanted to pick a three-color exotic lily that grew next to the bird's nest, they stepped on the air and planted it from the side of the mountain.Forget it all, the key is that he also grabbed himself who was squatting on the side of the road to calculate the formation. This kind of stupid unintentional sneak attack made people not even a little bit defensive. No wonder he hasn't asked for a wife for so many years. It turns out that there are fewer strings in one aspect.

After a long time of running-in, Bai Shu has learned how to get along with Xue Banxia, ​​who is cold-faced and hard-spoken, that is, to dissect his every sentence and dig out the most real thoughts.

So what Xue Banxia said just now is simply a word of concern, good luck this time, pay attention to your feet next time, don't fall again.

"Well, I was wrong, and I will pay attention to it in the future." Bai Shu responded obediently, with a sincere tone and a good attitude of admitting his mistakes.

The poisonous Xue Banxia happened to eat the soft but not the hard, and the taunt was blocked by Bai Shu's gentle tone, and he snorted again, touching the bandaged fingers and stopped talking.

At that time, Bai Shule, who didn't learn to put on a sullen face and pretend to be mature, was adding firewood to the fire, and at the same time, he was complacent about his newly acquired skills, and wished to find someone to share this joy immediately. Unfortunately, besides Xue Banxia, ​​there were only those who seemed to be Animals and plants from another world.

When the two of them slid down the bare mountain wall, Xue Banxia could only hold on to the raised rocks with his bare hands, with one bearing the weight of the two, his fingers were stained with blood.Just as he grabbed a thick branch and breathed a sigh of relief, he wanted to put Bai Shu on the tree, but a mountain eagle that Bai Shu praised as suitable for roasting and eating came.

One person and one bird looked at each other comically, Xue Banxia suddenly realized that the place he was holding was a bird's nest, and this stupid mountain eagle was the owner of the bird's nest at first glance.

Xue Banxia wondered, how could a majestic mountain eagle build a small bird's nest on such a short tree branch, can it accommodate your huge body?This shouldn't be the case with the Cunning Eagle's Three Nests.

However, this stupid cunning eagle didn't give the intruder any reasonable explanation, and pecked at the hand of Xue Banxia who was despised by animals since childhood.

Descending along the mountain wall, the mountain wall is getting farther and farther away from the body. Unfortunately, the god of luck did not favor Xue Banxia who dislikes cats and dogs in this animal paradise.

No matter how hard he struggled, Xue Banxia, ​​who was caught by the ankle and wanted to avoid the eagle attack, could not hook the rock wall again.I don't know if it's an instant or a snap of the fingers, but the time is very short, so short that Xue Banxia doesn't even have the time to mourn that he suffered such a disaster despite his lack of peerless kung fu.

When Xue Banxia saw the big lake with blue waves, there were only four words in Xue Banxia's mind.

I can't water.

What was even more frightening was that before the desperate Xue Banxia, ​​half of his body submerged in the lake, could close his eyes, he saw Bai Shu floating up from the water with his back to the sky.Immediately afterwards, he was slapped by that damned flat-haired beast to the side of the strange temple in the middle of the lake, where a huge dusty pit immediately appeared, and Bai Shu, who was always extremely resolute, passed out without even humming.

Even though Xue Banxia has been wandering the rivers and lakes for a long time, he has never seen a mountain eagle that can swing people more than ten feet away with one wing. If it is pulled outside, it is equivalent to a personal guard, which is better than nothing.

The eagle seemed to feel the strong obsession behind him, turned his head, and stared at Xue Banxia again.

Xue Banxia suddenly remembered what the guide said when he first came to Yunye.

Incorporate into it, the god of nature will show it, disobey it, the god of disaster will punish.

Luo Tangxue closed his eyes resignedly to his fate, he chose the latter for the punishment of drowning and the divine omen of being flapped to the shore with half his life.

When Bai Shu woke up from the chaos, he saw Xue Banxia with sluggish eyes wiping his face time after time, without any damage.He touched his face casually, a handful of sand, a handful of blood.

Bai Shu angrily grabbed a handful of sand and threw it over, with a piercing tone: "You little heartless, Brother Bai, I will lead the way in front, and you don't share the joys and sorrows with me in the back, and you actually protect your face!"

Xue Banxia evaded the conditioned reflex, and then saw Bai Shu's green and red face, and laughed so hard that tears glistened in his eyes.

Bai Shu looked at Xue Banxia's rare smiling face for a moment, but he didn't hold back his face, and laughed too.

Although it was an accident, the accident was very valuable, at least Xue Banxia smiled.

The two agreed that the pit should not be formed naturally, but was dug artificially. The stone and sand in the pit had a completely different texture from the surrounding ones. They looked solid, but they were actually non-fragile. harm.

So the curious, ignorant and fearless two chopped down a ginger tree that was as hard as iron, made it into a shovel shape, and started digging a hole. They actually dug a tunnel before dark.

"Let's go down again tomorrow morning. The tunnel is loose, who knows if it will collapse."

Bai Shu roasted the ill-fated mountain eagle that was killed by Xue Banxia's sword. The pale flame unique to the burning of the ginger tree caressed the golden skin of the mountain eagle.

Xue Banxia was sitting on the stone at the entrance of the small temple, holding a twig and writing and drawing on the sand. He didn't know if he heard it, but he just nodded casually.

Bai Shu leaned over to look, and the crooked lines on the ground were a rough map of the Yin-Yang forest, of course, Bai Shu didn't see it.

"What is this?" Bai Shu has always been brave to ask questions about things he doesn't understand, and he is not afraid of criticizing and ridiculing.

The twig was twirled in Xue Banxia's hands, and the branch whose skin was no longer worn off fell on the sand again, and after a few rough strokes, several curves were revealed more clearly.

"It's a bit rough, but you should be able to see that this big circle is a lake, and this small circle is a temple."

Xue Banxia poked at the location of the temple, using force with his hands, as if he wanted to pierce the ground.

"Lake, temple... then this fish-like thing is the floating forest? The identical fish next to it is the death resting place? But every time we go to the death resting place, we will circle back here, and we have never walked a hundred feet into the death resting place Now, how do you know that Death Rest Land looks like this?"

Bai Shu drew inferences from one instance, and asked a sharp question, Xue Banxia nodded in satisfaction.

"Have you heard of the seven ancient formations in the mainland?"

The dim light of the fire reflected on Xue Banxia's side face, with delicate features and a soft expression.

Three years later, Xue Banxia is no longer the indifferent young man when we first met, nor did he have the crazy look in his eyes when we met again, the emotions in his heart were forcibly suppressed, even if it was only temporarily, but after all, he got better, didn't he? .

"No." Bai Shu really wanted to cover up his ignorance by saying that he had heard about it, but in the end he chose to tell the truth.

"Do you remember why we came here?"

"Get a strange beast and enter the tomb of Jiuyao."

"There is an ancient formation at the Tomb of the Nine Luminaries, the Nine Luminaries Star Palace formation. If you don't get the spirit beast, you will definitely not be able to get through it. Everyone in the rivers and lakes knows the real ancient formation, as well as the snowy night return formation in the Canaan Valley of Chilan Kingdom, and The Yan Fuchao sound array of the Wugen Temple in Qinghua Country. There are also the Vientiane Senluo and Zhuxian Disillusionment II arrays. They are all arrays from the ancient times and should have been lost. Originally, Pisces Bright Eyes should have been lost too. It seems to be a misrepresentation , it's just that other people didn't have the luck to get trapped inside."

"This is the Pisces Bright Eyes Formation? Are we trapped in the seven ancient formations?" Bai Shu's voice almost broke, this result is really disturbing, if I knew it, I wouldn't have asked.

"Wait, Jiuyao Xinggong, Fengxueyegui, Yanna what, Wanxiang Senluo, Zhuxian Disillusionment, Pisces Bright Eyes, there are only six, is there one less?" Bai Shu pointed his fingers and motioned Xue Banxia to look.

"Yan Fuchaoyin." Xue Banxia corrected, "Well, there is another one, Lihen Xuanlan."

Xue Banxia didn't seem to want to mention this, and the confident look she had just talked about disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Lihen, Xuanlan.When the wind blows, enter, with the right time and place and the sorrow of parting, the heart is as calm as water, leisurely for thousands of years.When the wind stops, it will come out, give up everything in one thought, regain the past, and never go back.

If you can not go out, you are really willing to live forever.

The author has something to say:

That's right, this incident happened when Xue Banxia and Bai Shu were traveling together, and the two established a preliminary friendship.

It's a pity that Bai Shu is a straight steel man, he only loves Qiniang~
