"The wind here is sunny and pleasant, and the breeze is like a shower of rain. It's a different scene in Cangsai. It's cold and barren and withered all year round. Now..." Baili Yuanfu couldn't help thinking of Cangsai Disappointed.

Once heard Taoist Li Tang talk about Cangsai's poor mountains and bad waters, and now he is besieged on all sides, Hu Wan understood Bailiyuan's mood, and immediately fell silent.She didn't need to turn her head to know that Baili Miyin would definitely look as if nothing had happened, suppressing the heaviness and anxiety surging in her heart, and would not show any sadness in front of her.The more Baili Miyin lifted the weight lightly, the more Hu Wan felt distressed, and only hated herself for not being able to share it.

"How many cold clothes do you have prepared?" Bailiyuan, who was still lamenting his sadness just now, was talking and laughing calmly again in a blink of an eye. "In Cangsai, we can still wear cotton satin cloaks during the day, but at night it is very cold and we need furs."

Baili Miyin closed his eyes, hiding the displeasure that was about to burst out of his eyes, and before Huwan could speak, he resolutely clamped the horse's belly and let out a soft scold, and the good horse was swept away like a gust of wind, startling the loess flying sand and flying a hundred Li Yuan was dressed in fresh clothes.She looked proudly at Hu Wan, only thinking deeply of Hu Wan, and seeing that Bai Liyuan, whom she had only acquaintance with, cared for Hu Wan, An Neng would not feel angry.

Bailiyuan was caught off guard and choked on the dust in his nose, and was dazed again, coughing uncontrollably, and burst into tears at the same time.When he looked at the light level, Baili Miyin had disappeared without a trace.He frowned and shook his head, he still couldn't figure out Baili Miyin's weird temperament, he just thought she was about to return home.He patted the clothes carefully, even if he was on his way, he couldn't lose his handsome demeanor.

"Griding so fast, I'm afraid this horse from Cangsai will die on the road. Wouldn't it defeat your original intention of bringing them back home?" Looking at Baili Miyin, who was as cold as Qingqiu, and knowing that she was jealous again, Hu Wan was secretly happy.

"How do you know they come from Cansai?"

"Although you are eccentric and uninhibited, you are wise and calm in dealing with things. There is a reason to choose the good when you choose an old horse. You are an old horse who knows the way, and you happen to have two horses. I take it for granted that they are the mounts of you and Sect Master Baili when they came from Cangsai." gone."

"Wan'er Linglong is thinking, I don't say anything, but you understand it too."

"It's because you don't say anything that I have to think about everything secretly."

"I won't say anything, and I won't hide it. If you don't know, you can ask. Why bother to figure it out in secret." Baili Miyin said slowly.

"You're right again." Hu Wan stammered.

The two horses galloped fast, crossing forests, seas and ravines all the way, carrying a heavy load as if walking on flat ground, and they still didn't feel tired when they walked until noon.The wind is whistling in the ears, the clothes are fluttering and hunting, and the flowers beside the road are so beautiful that they are only enough for a quick glance.

Passing by a teahouse supported by bamboo thatch, Bailiyuan vaguely smelled the clear fragrance of tea, and suddenly felt thirsty.Going further is the winding and winding ancient mountain road, without reaching any villages. Although there is water and dry food in the luggage, there is always a cup of warm tea.He crossed his horse and stopped Baili Miyin, and suggested: "I can't find a place to rest in the wilderness, I see a tea house in front, why don't you get off your horse and take a rest?"

Fearing that Huwan would feel unwell for a long time, Baili Miyin nodded without thinking.Hu Wan looked sideways, and saw that the tea shop was simple and shabby, with a single table under the thatched canopy, deserted and deserted.The shopkeeper was standing by the side of the road waiting eagerly, and the eagerness to see through made passers-by unable to bear to patronize.

Seeing the three people get off their horses, the shopkeeper came over to greet the business: "Several guest officials are rushing all the way, come in and drink some tea before you go on your way. After passing my shabby teahouse, there is no place to rest in front of you."

"The store has any good tea for us." Bai Liyuan entered the teahouse in three steps and took two steps. Looking around, it was really dilapidated, and even the steaming pot on the stove was cracked.

"Oh... I'm sorry, sir, I only have rough tea." The shopkeeper said: "Most of the people who come and go on this road are small traders who go to the surrounding markets, and they are all rough people who can't afford fine grains. No one cares about tea."

"It doesn't matter, the crude tea is the crude tea." Baili Yuan came after smelling the fragrance, and he thought that the crude tea was not much different, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

"Got it."

While the shopkeeper was offering tea, the three of them sat down one after another, speechless for a while.

Looking at the verdant mountains in front of him, Baili Miyin still remembered that he took a shortcut more than ten years ago and only took an hour to cross the mountains. But there is no shortcut and gap, and I can't help but suspect that I have blurred my long-term memory.

Following Baili Miyin's eyes, the greenery was very pleasant, and the tired look on Hu Wan's face instantly faded away.But seeing Baili Miyin's thoughtful appearance, he didn't know what she was thinking, so he asked, "Why are you so engrossed?"

"I never walked such a winding mountain road when I was young." Baili Miyin said casually.

"Perhaps you can't remember. When I came here, I had inquired about it. The only way to travel from north to south is this ancient winding mountain road." Bailiyuan took it for granted.

Baili Miyin led the way all the way, which shows that she still has a deep memory of the terrain, and Hu Wan has no doubts about Baili Miyin's memory.Bailiyuan called this road Panshan Ancient Road, since it is ancient, it is definitely not a new road, but Baili Miyin said that he has never walked it, presumably there is another road in the mountain.

Coincidentally, the shopkeeper came over to serve tea, and Hu Wan asked casually: "Dare to ask the shopkeeper, is there any other shortcut to cross the mountains besides this ancient road?"

"Yes, there is, but I advise the guest officers not to take shortcuts. I'm not alarmist. That road is so sinister that no one dares to walk. Now it is estimated that the road will be thorny and difficult to walk."

"Oh? What kind of evil method?" Baili Yuan asked leisurely.With Baili Miyin, an outstanding priest, accompanying him, he wanted to listen to what the shopkeeper had to say before asking Baili Miyin for advice.

"It is said that this shortcut is a must for people who have reached the end of their lives to go to the gate of hell. The locals would rather take a long way than take the long way, but some uninformed outsiders do not believe in evil and do not listen to persuasion, so they choose to take the shortcut. Go. Although their lives are safe, nine times out of ten those who came out of the fight were in a trance, and they kept claiming that they saw ghosts and ghosts." The shopkeeper's words were sincere, not like nonsense.He poured tea for the three of them one by one, and continued: "I have been running a teahouse for many years, and every passer-by who meets me will try my best to dissuade them. Believe it or not is the same thing. Don’t dare to covet the footsteps and take shortcuts. There will be fewer people walking, and as time goes by, the trails will become deserted.”

"In this way, there is indeed mystery in this mountain." Baili Yuan looked at Baili Miyin with piercing eyes, eagerly waiting for her to express her opinion.

Gouging out Baili Yuan, Baili Miyin calmly picked up the tea bowl and ignored it.

"Thank you for reminding me, good deeds of the store owner will definitely be rewarded generously." Hu Wan's clear brows and eyes faintly smiled, and the praise made the store owner quite embarrassed, and he smiled honestly and amiably.After a while, Hu Wan changed his voice and thought, "To tell you the truth, I am a herb picker. When I go here, I see the green forest, so I want to go to the mountains to dig some herbs. The store may as well tell you the entrance of the shortcut, so as not to let me I missed it while collecting medicine."

The shopkeeper believed in Hu Wan's words, and immediately told the three of them the exact location of the entrance to the shortcut through the mountain, but Bai Liyuan turned his head.

"How?" Hu Wan waited for the shopkeeper to leave before turning her head to look at Baili Miyin, her eyes filled with joy, she found the entrance of the shortcut, and was expecting Baili Miyin's approval.

"Wan'er is really good at fooling people, I'm used to it all the time." Baili Miyin raised his eyebrows lightly, showing a hint of teasing.

"...I didn't ask you that."

"Then what are you asking?"

"..." Hu Wan's lips parted slightly, as soon as she saw the cunning in Baili Miyin's deep eyes, but her face was sanctimonious, she felt sluggish. "I... I asked you if you have decided which way to go."

"It depends on whether Wan'er has the elixir to deal with Manzhushahua."

"Manjushahua? The Manjushahua driving on Huangquan Road to extradite dead souls?" Bailiyuan interjected at the right time, lest they forget his existence, and he was often neglected along the way. "It is said that the flowers and leaves do not see flowers, and the flowers bloom without leaves. .”

Manjusawa is also known as the flower of the other shore, the flower blooms on the other shore, separated from yin and yang, and is often seen in barren hills and tombs.Because of its peculiar growth habit, there is a legend about the flower of hell.The flowers on the other side bloom like blood and are gorgeous. The flowers are huge and have no leaves to support, which is very coquettish.According to ancient records, Bianhua can be used for anesthesia, pain relief and detoxification. Although it can be used as medicine, it is very poisonous.

"The so-called yin and evil in the store turned out to be caused by Manjusawa." Hu Wan has a lot of knowledge about herbs that can be used as medicine, and Manjusawa is no exception. "When the flowers bloom, the smell is pungent and rotten. Anyone who smells it will feel sore and weak, and their thoughts will be confused like a devil. , but it is not guaranteed whether it will work on the two mounts."

The shopkeeper said that nine times out of ten the mind is in a trance, and it is not always affected. Those who are safe and sound must have missed the flowering period by coincidence.

"Just give it a try and increase the dose." Bailiyuan wanted to see the rumored beautiful and bewitching Manzhushahua, so he couldn't help but encourage him: "The antidote can't hurt the horses, and even if it doesn't work, the flower poison is not fatal. At best, they're tired or a little frightened."

"If they are too tired to walk, then what's the point of us taking a shortcut?" Hu Wan asked quietly.

"..." Bailiyuan was speechless.

"Horses are not affected by flower poison." Baili Miyin said firmly: "I took a shortcut from Cangsai more than ten years ago, and it was also in the flowering period at that time, only my uncle suffered the crime of Manzhu Shahua. "

Bailiyuan was very shocked when he heard the words, and asked: "No wonder you said you never walked the Panshan Ancient Road...Since it is the flowering period, how did you not be disturbed back then?"

Animals can be understood, but Baili Miyin is a mortal fetus, so how can she not be disturbed by the flower poison of Manjushahua like animals? Could it be that she, a yin priest, can travel freely between yin and yang?Bailiyuan whispered from the ventriloquism.
