Mu Xiyun suddenly opened her eyes wide.

Although the body cannot move, the feeling is extremely sensitive.Even under the lake, the scorching heat of those hands clearly penetrated from the skin to the heart.The lips were parted, and a soft and warm air flow slowly passed from the other party. The tightness in the chest eased a little, and Mu Xiyun blinked her eyes.

In this incomparable distance, he saw the deep eyes of the other party.It is Qingqiao.

Lip points.

The figure let go of one hand and led him to float towards the lake.

With a bang, the two broke through the water and got out.

Mu Xiyun panted heavily, but was choked by the splash of water, and coughed to death.

Gu Qingqiao hugged him in his arms and clasped his waist firmly with one hand, as if he wanted to rub his whole body into his body.After a while, he let go of a hand and patted him on the back.

Qin Le hurriedly rowed the boat over, and stammered a few more words anxiously: "Are you all okay?"

After finally coughing, Mu Xiyun was able to look around.The first thing that caught his eyes was Gu Qingqiao's face.

That face was already fair, but now there were shining drops of water.A few strands of wet black hair stuck to his cheeks, making his face even more pale and black.There was no smile on the handsome and deep facial features at this time, and the thin pale lips were pursed sternly.

those lips...

Mu Xiyun blushed suddenly, looked away guiltily, and climbed onto the boat with one hand and was about to climb up.The boat suddenly got heavy on one side and tilted, Qin Le said "Oops" and almost fell into the water.

Gu Qingqiao watched him flustered, sighed helplessly in his heart, held his waist with both hands, and pushed him onto the boat.

The three of them returned to the shore, Qin Le went to return the boat, Gu Qingqiao transported the cleansing formula, removed the water vapor and dirt on the two of them, and silently cleaned up the asparagus grass on the boat, then raised his head and asked: "What's going on?"

Mu Xiyun had recovered from the panic at this time, thought for a while and said helplessly: "I don't know, but suddenly the meridian is reversed and I can't move."

"Is it because the cold poison attack last time hasn't healed yet?"

"Maybe... probably." The feeling was not exactly the same as before, but I couldn't find the reason for a while.

The two were silent for a while, Gu Qingqiao's expression was still not good.Mu Xiyun seemed to have suddenly returned to the afternoon when the snow demon was removed decades ago. Feeling a little guilty for no reason, she said softly, "Brother Gu, I'm fine now, don't be angry, okay?"

Gu Qingqiao raised his eyes, his eyes were full of worry.He looked into Mu Xiyun's eyes, as if he had something to say but didn't say it, finally lowered his eyes, and said slowly: "Go back and take medicine later!"

"it is good."

"Be careful next time!"

"it is good."

"Call me when you go into the water."

"it is good."

"and also……"

Gu Qingqiao finally raised his eyes, the corners of the mouth of the white-clothed fairy in front of him were curved, and his eyes were full of fragmented light.

The serious expression could no longer be maintained, Gu Qingqiao reached out and patted the top of his hair, and smiled helplessly.

Qin Le ran back from a distance, and while wiping the sweat off his face, he asked, "Do you still want to go to the town medicine hall?"

"Go." Mu Xiyun replied.After finishing speaking, he took a look at Gu Qingqiao, seeing that he had no objection, and continued: "The herbs are all ready, and I will send them today, so as not to make a detour tomorrow."

The three of them walked towards the village together, Qin Le passed Mu Xiyun, and asked Gu Qingqiao: "Have you all returned? How was the trip to the valley?"

It turned out that the group of people who went to the valley returned to Longzhao Village at noon, Huang Zelin still stayed in the inn to study medicine with the two sisters, Gu Qingqiao quietly went to the village head's house, naturally did not see Mu Xiyun and Qin Le.Not far away, I happened to meet the son of the village head and learned that the two had gone to Linghu.

When he ran to Linghu Lake, he only saw Qin Le alone on the boat, scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously, only then did he realize that Mu Xiyun hadn't come out of the water for a long time.

Speaking of this, Gu Qingqiao glared at Mu Xiyun again, but saw that he was obedient and would never talk back, but he saw that he was obedient and would never talk back. What he saw told the two of them.

"At this moment, Elder Huang and the others are still tossing about those medicines."

The town is not far from Longclaw Village, and the three of them soon arrived at the medicine hall.The shopkeeper of the pharmacy personally came out to collect the medicine and thanked him repeatedly.

Seeing the shopkeeper's gloomy expression, Mu Xiyun couldn't help asking a few questions.

The shopkeeper sighed and said, "Oh, it's not about my younger sister."

The three of them were in a daze when Feng Gu walked in from the outside.I haven't seen her for a few days, and this beautiful girl is also haggard, with red eye circles and a handkerchief in her hand.

As soon as she saw Mu Xiyun, she rushed over like a drowning person seeing a life-saving straw.

Gu Qingqiao frowned as he watched Mu Xiyun help the girl up, and comforted her softly.The shopkeeper then continued: "Speaking of which, my sister was a widow early on, and only took care of the only son in the family. Unexpectedly, when the child was six or seven years old, she was abducted by someone."

"Abducted?" Mu Xiyun and Gu Qingqiao looked at each other, both with an ominous premonition in their hearts.

"Yes. The world is so big, where can I find it? It has been more than ten years, and many people have persuaded her, but she still does not give up and asks people everywhere. A few years ago, a woman who lost her child in a neighboring village told She, there is a monster mountain to the west from here. There are monsters living in the mountain, and they especially like human children. The monster will abduct the children, don't hurt them, just bring them back to the mountain to raise them. I don't know how many mothers who lost their children They would go to that mountain to look for it, and some people once said that they really saw the child. It’s just that the monster mountain only appears once every five years, and a few days will happen to be the day when it will appear.”

"There are such monsters?" Qin Le asked curiously.

"Ah," the shopkeeper sighed, "we don't believe it either, but my sister does. She packed her luggage a few days ago and insisted on looking for it. The family couldn't hold her back, so she left home today went."

"Yes, I just went to see her off, and she was very sure that she could find the child." Feng Gu stopped crying at this time, and said mournfully: "But I heard that those mothers who went to look for the child, some went to find the child." After a trip, I let go of my obsession and went home to live a good life. Some never came back. Could it be that the monsters there can eat people? Will my aunt be eaten when I go there?"

She raised her tearful eyes and looked at Mu Xiyun, "I beg you to go to the mountain and have a look. If there is a monster that eats people, please save my aunt."

Seeing her request, the shopkeeper knew that it was difficult for her to force others, so he helped her into the house half coercion and half persuasion, and came back and sighed: "Immortals, don't take it to heart, this matter is just a rumor, it's just that this child I have been close to my sister since I was a child, and I have some unscrupulous words, and the immortals will forgive me."

The three agreed and left.

On the way back to the village, Mu Xiyun frowned and asked Qin Le: "Have you heard of such a legend?"

Qin Le replied: "Go out of the mountain once every five years, and still catch children's monsters? Many of these folklore are based on rumors and cannot be put on the table. But when we were young, the servants at home often scared us. The monster was captured, and I have been kept in the mountains since then and cannot come out. At that time, I was forced by the elders in my family to learn and practice, and I wished that the monster would catch me. Later, when I grew up, I forgot about these things."

Mu Xiyun was overjoyed when she heard it, and then said: "There is no reason for the rumors. If you say that, there must be a source. Go back to the village and ask the old people in the village. Even if you can't ask anything, we will ask you tomorrow anyway." If you want to go west, let’s explore together.”

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Gu Qingqiao, but saw that he was a little gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.With Qin Le by my side, I couldn't ask many questions directly, so I had to keep silent for the time being.

Back in Longzhao Village, Qin Le went to his room to pack things. Gu Qingqiao really found out the prescription for relieving the cold poison, took out the medicine package that Huang Zelin prepared last time, decocted the medicine and gave it to Mu Xiyun.

Knowing that she was wrong, Mu Xiyun drank the concoction in one gulp, and then begged for a piece of maltose and put it in her mouth with a smile.He casually asked, "You had a serious face when you were in the medicine hall just now, what were you thinking? Is there anything important?"

What are you thinking?Gu Qingqiao raised his eyes and glanced at Mu Xiyun, feeling a little stuck in his heart.Mu Xiyun has always been good-tempered, kind, humble and polite.In the previous life, he was loved by many female cultivators.Although he didn't see that he had special feelings for any fairy at that time, but it is uncertain what he thinks in this life.The phoenix girl just now cried so pitifully that the pear blossoms were raining with rain, and Ah Yun was also gentle and cared for her. Did he really have any thoughts about that girl?

How can I dare to bring up the small thoughts in my heart and talk about them in detail?

Not wanting to say anything on this topic, Gu Qingqiao frowned and said: "I don't know if I'm too sensitive, it seems that in this short period of time, there are children missing everywhere. Yiyun Town, Qingxi Town, Hongye City and Shanhai We already know of several cases of missing children in this city, and most of the missing children are under the age of ten."

Hearing these words, Mu Xiyun also pondered: "Yes, I don't remember hearing so many cases of missing children 50 years ago. Could it be that during this time, there have been big gangs specializing in child trafficking?"

After a pause, he continued: "Abduction and trafficking of children to break up families, these people are really heinous. If there is a chance, I will definitely investigate to the end."

Gu Qingqiao was an orphan, and Mu Xiyun also left her parents since she was a child. Both of them hated such actions.

To avoid trouble, Gu Qingqiao quietly went back to the inn. Mu Xiyun and Qin Le went to the big tree where the old people in the village rested in the shade, and found the old village head.

After hearing the descriptions of the two, the old village chief looked at the three old people who were enjoying the shade together, and one of them said slowly: "Speaking of losing children, it has happened in all dynasties. Some people have teeth and often go to various villages. Take away orphans and children who cannot be supported by the family. However, ordinary people have their own sphere of influence and will also take into account their own reputation. As for those with crooked minds, it is difficult to track down children who are abducted and sold to remote areas gone."

Qin Le was stunned for a moment.He grew up in a family, and he never thought about the situation where his ignorant young son was forced to leave his hometown and be sold everywhere, so he couldn't help sighing repeatedly.

"As for the legend about the opening of the mountain once every five years," the old village chief thought for a while and said, "It was passed on for a while before, and some people went to find it. But people who go to that mountain don't just encounter ghosts hitting the wall and wandering in the mountain. Nothing for one night, just an accidental injury while climbing a mountain, almost no one really clarified whether such a thing happened. After a long time, no one believed it.”

"Does the village chief know where the mountain is according to the rumors?" Mu Xiyun asked.

The old village chief thought for a while, "It's about two hundred miles west from here, Fenglin Town."
