Snow Chihiro

=================

"Weird." Dongfang Yunfei turned the wheelchair and moved it to the side of the snake corpse, and looked down. The wheelchair she was sitting on was made by Dongfang Li just yesterday. After all, he was not a carpenter, so it was unavoidably rough. Fortunately, Xue Qianxun Four layers of cushions were placed on the foot, and it was not so uncomfortable.

"Master, do you recognize it?"

"If you recognize it, would you still call it weird?" Dongfang Yunfei looked at his apprentice contemptuously, took the sword and turned the snake over, and recalled: "But it seems to be mentioned in ancient books, this little thing is originally It should be non-toxic, the toxin is all above the black line, overflowing from the poisonous glands, looking at its appearance, even if you don't kill it, it will be poisoned to death by yourself in a few years."

"And this weird poison that kills itself?"

Dongfang Yunfei smiled, "It's not the poison itself, it's just the host of the poison, so it doesn't matter if it's dead." She touched the black line with the tip of her sword, and the thing looked like a living thing , slightly twisted, the black thread slightly raised a corner as if it was going to pass through, so that Xue Qianxun felt chills watching it.

"It's good to put this thing on a snake's body. After all, snakes are cool. If it gets on a human body and follows the blood, it may become a poisonous person in two or three days, and it will be a companion to Hades in a month." Dongfang Yunfei sighed, and said: "A Li, find something to collect it, and bury it far away."

Xue Qianxun subconsciously said, "I'll come."

Dongfang Li couldn't help but look at her, while Dongfang Yunfei laughed playfully, "A Xun, you treat Ali like this, Master will be jealous." Although she teased like this, her eyes were on Dongfang Li, but seeing her There was something flickering in the eyes of the good disciple, he lowered his head slightly, and said in a deep voice, "It's okay."

"Although this thing is highly toxic, its speed is slow. Otherwise, it would have come out long ago. What are you two worrying about? I have a jade gourd in my room, and there is still half a gourd wine in it. Just use that to make it drunk last drunk."

The first half of her sentence broke the two people's minds, and made Dongfang Li a little embarrassed, but in the second half of the sentence, she consciously slipped her mouth again, and when she looked up, she met Dongfang Li's reproachful eyes.

"Master secretly drinking again?"

"Ha, how did you steal it? It's from the past."

Looking over with another dangerous gaze, Dongfang Yunfei shrank his neck, and heard Xue Qianxun say: "The jade gourd Qianxun just washed it yesterday, why don't you know that there is wine?"

"Ha, this question is so profound, we will discuss it in detail in a few days. A Li, why don't you hurry up and get it?" She saw what Dongfang Li had to say, and then gave her apprentice a wronged look, which was very effective Dongfang Li opened his mouth and closed it again, and flew away.

That unknown thing is dangerous after all, Dongfang Li was worried about the two of them, they came and went very fast, picked out the black thread according to the master's instructions, as soon as the snake's body was broken, a strong fishy smell diffused out, and the black thread Touching the tip of the sword, he slowly retracted, seemingly spiritual, but he couldn't hold back the suction of Dongfang Li's true energy, and he curled up on the sword as soon as he struggled.It twisted a bit and then changed direction to climb up. Dongfang Li quickly went to the gourd cover, pressed the tip of his sword against the opening, exhaled his true energy, and squeezed the dark mass into the gourd.

This jade gourd is not an ordinary thing, it is very transparent, and there is really half a gourd of wine wandering in it. The black thing got into the gourd and struggled twice, as if drunk too much, it stretched its body and floated inside. .Dongfang Li put the lid on and shook it casually, "I'll go and bury it on the west mountain wall outside the valley." That place is the farthest from the water source, surrounded by rocks, making it hard for this thing to get out.

Dongfang Yunfei nodded, and took Xue Qianxun's hand again, "You go. This thing smells bad, and it seems to be poisonous. Ah Xun pushed me to go to the waterfall to clear my eyes and nose."

Xue Qianxun originally planned to go with the leader, but when she saw what Master said, she agreed. She looked at Dongfang Li, but by coincidence, she met the leader's eyes. Before Xue Qianxun could speak, Dongfang Li turned and left.

"Still watching?" Dongfang Yunfei saw Xue Qianxun staring at Dongfang Li's back for a long time, couldn't help laughing and teasing.It's just that she is more than enough to tease her apprentice, but she can't laugh at her apprentice's daughter-in-law.Xue Qianxun had known the character of this master for a long time, and said without any concealment, "I can't get enough of it." She pushed Dongfang Yun to the waterfall, using her hands meticulously, calling Dongfang Yunfei was much more comfortable.

Dongfang Yunfei leaned lazily on the back of the chair, "Master is so kind to you, you don't look at me too much, it's really sad for Master." She said she was sad, but her face was calm, Where is the smell of sadness?But Xue Qianxun heard that the tone was a little abnormal, and couldn't help but look down at her, and the movements of her hands were a little slower, and said in a deep voice: "Master finds a way to let Qianxun stay here, can't Qianxun be able to stay here every day?" Have you seen the leader and master?"

"If you want to see, I can't see much." Dongfang Yunfei suddenly said, this place is close to the waterfall, the sound of rumbling water makes her voice not very clear, but Xue Qianxun can still hear it clearly , the heart is pulled up slightly, and it is difficult to let go.Xue Qianxun clenched the back of the chair, not knowing what to say, but Dongfang Yunfei turned his head and pointed at a stone wall, and said with a smile, "This whole valley is a big formation, and the strangest thing about this formation is the gate of life and death. The doors overlap."

Both Dongfang Yunfei and Dongfang Li had said this sentence to her, Xue Qianxun seemed to suddenly understand something, narrowed her eyes, and did not speak.

"This formation was arranged by my great uncle. Even I can't figure it out, let alone crack it."

"Ah Xun, you can't live long as a teacher. If your teacher is gone, do you want to stay in this place with her, or leave this place with her?"

Xue Qianxun raised her head, how deep is this valley? The waterfall is so high that the Milky Way rushes down from the mountain wall, and the water spray is several feet high, rumbling loudly.

"Master, Chihiro doesn't understand."

Dongfang Yunfei smiled, "I understand, Master."

——————————————————————————————————————

Daming is a special empire, different from previous dynasties, its master was born in the grass and rose from the rivers and lakes.There is no shadow of aristocratic families behind it, but the pride of a quack who spilled blood on the earth is replaced.Because of this, the rivers and lakes of this era are also given special attention, whether it is in terms of status or the monitoring and control behind it.

The east wind that King Ning wants to invite comes from this river and lake.And although this wind is called the east wind, it is not just a light blow from the east. The moment each chess piece falls, more chess pieces have been directed to move and quietly arranged to where it needs to stand. Where to go, for example, Zuo Lengchan who has been waiting for ten years on the Guansheng Peak of Songshan Mountain, or Xiang Wentian who is full of energy on Heimuya, they are all winds, coming from all directions, but they are all ready to blow to the capital in the north , wanting to blow its walls to pieces, to overturn this city, overturn this sky.

What Dongfang Liang was going to invite was the same kind of wind, but this wind was stronger, so strong that he, the number one expert beside King Ning, had to personally hold the line, so as not to be blown away.He pulled down the blanket on the top of his head, slightly squinted his eyes and lowered his head, facing the sun and the wind and sand, riding a camel and following the guide in front of him not far or near.

The guide was a young man in his 20s. It is reasonable to say that most people would not invite such an inexperienced boy as a guide, but the place he was going to was too far, too deep, and too dangerous, and others were unwilling to go. Only this young man named Amu Gulang was fascinated by the golden thing, and he volunteered to take the plunge.

"The wind is too strong, we have to find a place to take shelter." Amu Gulang shouted on the camel with his wide sleeves to block the wind and sand. Dong Fengliang squinted his eyes and looked back. Mr. Zheng, who was on the bed, responded in a low voice, but it was clearly transmitted to the ears of the two of them.

Mr. Zheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the sound, but he didn't dare to be careless, he still lay on his stomach carefully.He was originally the chief counselor of King Ning, but this time he followed Dongfang Liang to find the Kuangyun Gang. The two of them had one piece of literature and one martial arts, and whatever they said, they wanted to mobilize the leader of Wei and Mongolia.It's just that he didn't expect the desert to be so difficult. After walking for four or five days, the original gentleman swallowed dust and ate sand every day, his beard was sticky, he couldn't open his eyes, he couldn't eat, and his whole body was exhausted. point.

Amu Gulang is quite familiar with this area, and soon found a small hill to avoid the wind and sand, and the three of them huddled together and sat together. After a while, the wind blew up and the sun was covered by the sand, and the whole sky was instantly dark. , Mr. Zheng said with a wry smile: "I only heard the solitary smoke in the desert, the long river and the sunset, how magnificent it is, but I don't know how hard it is to be here."

Amu Gulang spoke well in Chinese, but he didn't understand poetry after all. He listened to Mr. Zheng's words and looked at Dongfang Liang, only to see this young man leaning against the sand dune, holding a long knife in his arms, his eyes slightly closed, He didn't care about it, so he had to come out and say, "Bataan is fine here. I've touched water sources twice in the past few days. If I were in other deserts, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to touch a single place."

Mr. Zheng also became interested when he heard it, and asked, "Could it be that little brother has been to other deserts?"

Amu Gulang scratched his head when he heard the words, "I haven't been there before, but I just heard what people in the village said."

When he said this, Mr. Zheng was not disappointed. He was still talkative and asked some questions about the desert. That is to say, they were in Badain Jaran, where the water source was inexplicably large. The frequency and amount of talking has already made the two of them thirsty.Dongfang Liang sat on the side with his eyes closed and rested, he didn't stop or talk to him, as if he wasn't there, he didn't open his eyes until the wind subsided after a while, and said, "You can go."

Not a question, but an order.As a guide, Amu Gulang naturally wouldn't say much, he stood up honestly, and as a counselor, Mr. Zheng is more knowledgeable about current affairs, knowing that he must always rely on this martial arts master here, he smiled kindly and held The tired body got on the camel.It's just that the three of them were not as lucky as they were when they came here. After three days, they didn't come across a lake again. Ninety percent of the dozen or so water bags had already been drunk by the noisy guides and passengers. Knowing how to cherish each other, they each accepted their words and walked silently against the scorching sun.Dongfang Liang slowed down at some point, and stood shoulder to shoulder with Mr. Zheng. Seeing that the scholar was staggering, he took out a water bag from his arms and handed it over.

Mr. Zheng blinked, the water bag shook and then stopped before his eyes, he stretched out his hand to catch it but failed to catch it, he found himself in the wrong place when he settled down, stretched out his hand to take it, shook it, and there was Not much left, he took a small sip, and was about to thank him and go back, but Dongfang Liang had already sped up and went forward.He also got along with this young master of the East quite a bit, seeing that he was decisive, but he turned out to have a cold face and a warm heart, Mr. Zheng hesitated for a moment, and stuffed the water bag into his bosom.He woke up and began to think about King Ning's entrustment again. Before he finished thinking, he heard Amu Gulang's excited voice not far away: "There is water! There is water!" Without caring about anything else, he hurriedly followed.

What is the most precious thing in the desert?Not gold, not cattle and sheep, not beauties.The most precious thing in the desert is water, and every oasis is a gift from God to the people and animals in the desert.Even Dongfang Liang had to admit that after seeing the yellow sand all over the sky, he saw the kindness and joy of seeing the faint green again. He supported the camel with one hand, and the whole body swished out, and the speed was faster than that of a bird. It's going to be a few minutes faster, but just when he was about to fall to the lake, his figure suddenly stagnated. His body spun half a circle in the air in an extremely strange and difficult posture, and a heavy weight fell on the ground forcibly. On the ground, accompanied by a heavy landing sound, a shriek sounded at the same time.

"who?"
