mountains and rivers dream

"Hahahaha, it doesn't matter. Girls are more lively. If you dare to speak and do something, you won't be bullied when you go out. Otherwise, you will be sullen if you are submissive."

Xiao Yu did not expect that the old ghost did not show any displeasure, but instead comforted her.

After hearing this, the two little girls moved closer to the old ghost, as if they had found a safe haven. Xiao Yu's cheeks twitched in anger, but he could do nothing to them.

"Let's get down to business."

The old ghost smiled and pointed, and a golden line immediately lit up on the map. It seemed that it was the route he had planned in advance.

It's just that after watching it, none of the people present looked relaxed. Instead, they all looked dark and gloomy. Because this route not only crosses the endless forest from the oasis boundary and heads to the northwest, but also has countless locations that are extremely dark in color and appear to be very ghostly, which also means the most dangerous areas.

"What is that, senior, of course we have full faith in you, but this route is too tortuous. It basically takes a circle from the junction of the two tribes, and then goes deep into the hinterland. It will not take more than three months. ? And after entering, it’s all twists and turns, and it’s not the area with the thinnest ghost energy. It’s not good for our situation, right? What are we hiding from?”

Looking at the golden route on the map, the nine-turn and eighteen-turn plan, and the many turning points across the dark area, Hu Taoer couldn't sit still.

Her face turned a little pale, and the teacup in her hand creaked as she fidgeted.

In fact, everyone was thinking the same thing, but they were all thinking about their words and worrying about how to ask.

What Hu Taoer said is exactly one of the questions everyone wants to ask.

Especially Xiao Yu, she looked at the gray area that Qin Lin just pointed out and fell into deep thought.

It's another destroyed human tribe, and it's now within the realm of mystery.

She really didn't know what happened, how could such a large country, which was separated from the human race gathering area, survive at the junction of the strange realm and the demon realm, and how it was destroyed.

She looked at the map and subconsciously felt that this area looked like it originally belonged to the demon realm and had been forcibly removed.

But thinking that this matter might have nothing to do with this trip to the west, he reluctantly swallowed the question and looked at a spiral area as dark as ink.

"Uncle Ghost, the color looks the thickest here. We have bypassed many places that are not as rich as this one. Why do we have to cross here?"

Miraculously, when Xiao Yu pointed her finger, the place on the map suddenly lit up, as if he could sense where she was pointing.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Lin's eyes suddenly lit up. He couldn't help but look at his master. He wanted to say something, but in the end he chose not to speak.

"Haha, this place looks dangerous, but it is indeed a very fun place. This is the largest ghost market in the dense forest, and it is a good place for treasure hunting. I am going to find some things and meet an old friend by the way to pick up two things. A very important item. Let’s take a walk through the back door and see if we can get things done without going to Qiming City.”

The old ghost didn't want to hide anything, he just told the truth, his tone was very relaxed, as if he was chatting.

After hearing this, most of the people's faces relaxed a lot. Only Qin Lin looked like he was worried, but he didn't express it too much. He just turned his face sideways and looked at Xiao Yu's profile with a touch of affection. Mixed emotions, both joy and sadness.

And Xiao Yu felt naturally relieved. "Of course we have to go there. This time we go to the West, everything depends on Uncle Ghost. Stopping by here and letting you take care of some things can also make us feel more at ease and make us feel less ashamed."

Xiao Yu's tone was pertinent, because she felt from the bottom of her heart that if she could let the old ghost have something to look forward to along the way and take care of some of her own affairs, then her shameful heart of owing favors to the West this time would not be so heavy.

After hearing this, the old ghost grinned extremely happily. He waved his hand towards where Xiao Yu and Qin Lin were. It looked like the reaction of the elders in the family who felt that their children were too outspoken.

"We are all a family now, and we are all on the same boat sooner or later. This time we go there, you can just accompany me, an old guy, for a trip. We can look for some facial hair for Girl Jade, and we can just stop by and buy some. . However, I can only help you with this matter. If there is anything else you are looking for, you can only rely on your own luck..."

As he spoke, his face turned slightly toward Xiao Yu. If Xiao Yu wasn't so sensitive, this tiny movement would have been difficult to detect.

This was obviously meant for her.

Xiao Yu's eyes flashed slightly and his lips moved unnaturally. At that moment, her heart suddenly twitched, as if she had done something wrong when she was a child. She had already covered it up, but her parents secretly criticized it without saying anything.

In fact, only she knew that in addition to looking for the life-saving Thousand-legged Face Zhi when she went to the Strange Realm this time, she also promised Bai Jingyi to help her find one more thing.

Liufang Chuixue Sword!
This is something she has never seen or heard of. It is limited to three years.

When Xiao Yu agreed, she thought that three years would be long enough. She would travel all over the country, and she might have many opportunities to find a sword.

But who would have thought that she would be stuck in the oasis world for nearly half a year. Time passed in a blink of an eye, and she had only left one oasis world.

"what happened to you?"

Qin Lin's concerned voice sounded in his ears. Xiao Yu suddenly came back to his senses and found that Qin Lin's face was a little pale, and he seemed much more haggard than when he was watching the excitement in the city just now.

"I'm sorry, I... was thinking about Mei Yu'er just now, and I got a little distracted. I feel a little excited now, and I'm looking forward to this trip. As for the cloak, you should wear it."

Without waiting for Qin Lin to refuse, she quickly took off her cloak, stood up on tiptoes, put it on for him with difficulty but neatly, and then carefully tied the rope for him just as he had just done for her.

"This black animal skin really looks better on you."

Xiao Yu put on a smiling face and patted Qin Lin on the chest. In order to prevent the atmosphere between the two from being too ambiguous, she chose to turn around quickly, not wanting to look at the face that was always shy and embarrassed.

"What about leg strength?" she asked.

The old ghost chuckled and twirled his flowing gray beard.

"We can feel more comfortable in the realm of the demon clan. With the accommodating demon king, it will be easier to handle. Those hump eagles in the courtyard were trained by Xiao Qing and A Lin before. They can be used until they arrive at Fan Wei of Yuexu Kingdom. "
