wake up from dream

"Rong Ruo, how are you? Are you okay?" Zi Qing was waiting for Rong Ruo in the room, neither standing nor sitting, she was really restless, no, Rong Ruo just returned to the room, Zi Qing immediately checked Rong Ruo Are there any injuries.

"I'm fine, let me change my clothes first." Rong Ruo went straight to the inner room and changed into his usual clothes.

"Did you find anything?" Zi Qing poured a cup of tea and handed it to Rong Ruo.

Rong Ruo took it, took a sip, and said: "Well, when I arrived at the secret passage, it was very smooth all the way, but when I got to the innermost part, there was no way out. I searched there for a long time, but I couldn't find it. so I had no choice but to go back the same way.” Zi

"There is no way? But on the blueprint, the secret road leads to another place. Look, here, this should be the outside of the villa..." Zi Qing pointed to the other end of the secret road on the blueprint.

"Well, but there is more than this secret road in this villa, look here..." Rong Ruo pointed to a pavilion not far from the garden.

"Here? It's not far from the garden. Do you think the secret passage in the garden is connected to the secret passage in the pavilion?" Zijing guessed.

"Well, so, I just went to see..."

"How is the result?"

"This secret road leads all the way to a forest, but there is a branch road in it. I took one of them and came to a forest full of fog. I think it may be possible to go out of that forest."

"Is there another forest? Is the fog in the forest very heavy?"

"Well, there is almost no way to see, I think if we want to leave here, we have to wait for the fog to clear, otherwise it is easy to get lost.

"Well...but if we wait for the fog to clear, we don't know how long we will have to wait! Besides, we don't know where the forest leads. If there is miasma in the forest, we..." Zi Qing was a little worried, The sixth sense tells me that this forest is not simple...

"Yes, so if we are not forced to choose another way to leave, it will be safer." Rong Ruo nodded in agreement.

"Chen Xue doesn't know these things yet?" Zi Qing asked.

"Qing'er, it's strange to say that when I went out just now, I always felt that someone was following me behind me, but when I looked back, I didn't find anyone. I think if Luo really dropped this picture on purpose, he might still be there. There are other goals that we need to help him accomplish..." Rong Ruo said softly.

"You mean Luo is using us..." Zi Qing asked, frowning.

Rong Ruo reached out to smooth Zi Qing's brows, and nodded.

"Rong Ruo, why do I feel that things are becoming more and more out of control? Ever since we arrived at this villa, things have become more and more complicated. When will we be able to leave this ghostly place?" Zi Qing's confidence has already been hit. .

"Qing'er, don't be afraid, don't be upset, the matter will be resolved." Rong Ruo comforted Zi Qing, hugging her.

"I see that when Chenxue comes tomorrow, I'll ask her again!"

"Well, that's fine. But Qing'er, don't tell Chen Xue that Luo has other purposes. After all, Luo is someone Chen Xue likes. If you doubt him like this, I'm afraid of Chen Xue..."

"Well, I see. I won't say it."

"Then let's rest first, and discuss the rest tomorrow." Rong Ruo said.

The next day.

"Sister, how is the matter going?" Chen Xue came to the Yunyun courtyard early in the morning to inquire about the news.

"Chen Xue, Rong Ruo went to the secret path in the garden yesterday, but couldn't find the exit, then went to the secret path in the pavilion, and finally found a forest..." Zi Qing pointed to the secret path in the pavilion Said to Chen Xue.

"Linzi..." Chen Xue seemed to be recalling something, "By the way, Wulin! Is there a lot of fog in that forest?"

"Yes, I was afraid that I would get lost in the woods, so I went back the way I came, and I plan to make a long-term plan." Rong Ruo said.

"Well, that's right, but when I was young, I heard the granny next to me mention that forest. I was young at that time, but after hearing what the granny said, I have always remembered it deeply. The granny said that there lived a fairy in the forest. , that fairy is very powerful, he can call the wind and rain, and cast beans into soldiers! At that time, I thought it was miraculous, and I have been remembering it until now.”

"Immortal? How is this possible?" Zi Qing felt unbelievable.

"I think there may be people living in the forest, but it's another matter if they are not immortals..." Rong Ruo looked at Zi Qing and said.

"I've only heard it before, so I don't know if it's true or not." After hearing what Zi Qing and Rong Ruo said, Chen Xue probably felt that the fairy tales were not credible, so she said again.

"Rong Ruo, why don't we go and have a look together, it doesn't matter if he is a fairy or someone else!" Zi Qing didn't want to sit still.

"Qing'er, wait a minute. Chen Xue said that there are many labyrinths in the villa. These are probably the formations. Do you think that the forest will have such a thick fog because of the formations? Soldiers also need to be deployed, of course, these need to be blinded..."

"Guard Nalan, you are really powerful. Indeed, my nanny said that the magic of that fairy is very powerful. I think it is probably the formation you mentioned." Chen Xue said with a smile.

"I'm just guessing, I don't dare to be great." Rong Ruo said.

"Chenxue, do you have any more information about that forest?" Zi Qing felt reasonable after listening to Rong Ruofei's analysis, but if she wanted to find out the truth, she had to be fully prepared.

"I haven't heard of any dangerous things in the woods, but the most important thing is those formations, which will make people lose their way and lose their direction..." Chen Xue said.

"Rong Ruo, I think this forest is definitely not simple, but I can't tell what is not simple, what do you think?"

"It's not easy, but maybe we can try, Chen Xue, do you want to go with us?" Rong Ruo asked.Ziqing felt a little weird about Rong Ruo calling Shang Chenxue, but she was sure that she wasn't jealous, so why?

"Chen Xue, do you want to go?" Zi Qing thought that since Rong Ruo called Chen Xue, he must have his reasons, so she didn't ask again.

"Can I come together?" Chen Xue was surprised by Rong Ruo and Zi Qing's invitation, but her face was full of excitement.

"Of course, with you here, we can get more news. After all, you have your mother who told you about these things." Rong Ruo said.

"Yes! But if you are afraid of being discovered by your grandfather..." After hearing Rong Ruo's words, Zi Qing felt a little suspicious in her heart, but in the end she didn't ask, because she believed that Rong Ruo would arrange everything properly.

"No, I'm going with my sister and Nalan's bodyguard." Chen Xue said firmly.

"Okay, then Chen Xue, let's have a good rest today, let's act tonight!" Rong Ruo had planned it, and Zi Qing couldn't help but secretly praised it in her heart.

"Okay, everything is up to Nalan's guards. By the way, what should we prepare?"

"Chenxue, I think dry food is indispensable. It's best to prepare more, so as not to starve to death in the forest, and bring water as well, in case the water in the forest is 'dirty'." Zi Qing said.

"Well, Qing'er is right, these must be prepared, and you don't have to worry too much about the rest." Rong Ruo nodded and said.

"Okay, then I'll go get ready." Chen Xue said and ran away from the Yunyun courtyard.

"Is Qing'er afraid?" Rong Ruo asked Zi Qing while hugging her.

"Don't be afraid, with you here, I'm not afraid of anything." Zi Qing looked at Rong Ruo and said.

"Qing'er, believe me, this time, we can leave."

"Why is Rong Ruo so sure?" Zi Qing was puzzled when she heard Rong Ruo's words.

"Everything can be solved tonight..."

"Mystery? Rong Ruo, do you know anything else?"

"Qing'er, don't worry, you will know tonight."

The night has come, and the winter sky is always dark very early...

In the dead of night, Ziqing, Rong Ruo, and Chen Xue quietly came to the secret passage under the pavilion, walked through the secret passage, and reached the intersection into the forest.The forest is very big, even if it is blocked by thick fog, you can still feel the forest wind blowing towards Ziqing and the others. The wind in winter is bitingly cold, but Ziqing and Chen Xue did not dare to say a word, the reason is this The forest is really gloomy...Where Ziqing and the others pass, a formation will move every five steps, and then the surrounding environment will start to change. If Rong Ruo hadn't read some books about formations, I am afraid they have already lost their way.

"Wuyu Formation?" Rong Ruo said.

"Wuyu formation? What kind of formation is this?" Ziqing couldn't understand what Rong Ruo was talking about.

"This is a formation method recorded in ancient books, and it is a formation method used to confuse the enemy's direction...Rong Ruo quickly searched for the relevant content about the Wuyu Formation in his mind.

"Qing'er, Chen Xue, follow me, don't get lost." Rong Ruo held Zi Qing's hand, Zi Qing was holding Chen Xue's hand, and walked in the direction identified by Rong Ruo.After walking about ten meters, the formation changed again.

"What formation is this time?" Zi Qing asked.

"Qing'er, this is the Bapu Formation. The Bagua Formation presses Xiu, Sheng, Injury, Du, Jing, Death, Surprise, and opens eight gates. Enter from the "Shengmen" in the east, and go out from the "Xiumen" in the southwest. Then "open the door" and attack from the north, this formation can be broken." Rong Ruo said.

"But we've got our directions mixed up now... It seems that we need to use the astrology." The compass could have been used, but the meeting place in the forest was not normal, so Ziqing and the others had to give up.

"Fortunately, it's night now, otherwise where would the sky be spectacular?" Zi Qing said happily.

"Rong Ruo, look there is the Big Dipper!" Zi Qing looked at the spoon star in the sky.

"Well, let's go, that's the gate of life." Rong Ruo took Ziqing and Chen Xue to the gate of life to enter. Afterwards, Ziqing and Chen Xue could only rely on Rong Ruo to decipher these formations. The two of them didn't understand these things. of……

"Why are there?" Ziqing and the others finally cracked the Bagua formation, but they didn't expect that there are other formations waiting for them...

"Even if we can crack these formations, we will be exhausted." Chen Xue couldn't take it anymore.

"Then let's rest for a while, the formation will not disappear anyway." Rong Ruo asked Ziqing and the others to rest on the spot, preparing to recharge their batteries before continuing to work hard.
