Apprentice of the Heavens

Chapter 145
Dead Creek Forest

In a deserted temple, sparse grass grows stubbornly, and a swing tied under a big tree creaks and creaks.

Chi Meng rolled his eyes at the fresh ginseng squatting on the swing, calmed down the complicated emotions in his heart and said flatly

"Didn't you say that you can unlock the Falling Soul Technique?"

"I said that Shierdong could solve it, but I didn't say I could solve it."

The fresh ginseng gnawed at the unknown fruit in her hand and said a little embarrassedly. She liked to play back then and it really didn't involve the solution of the falling soul technique, but now she felt a little embarrassed when faced with her daughter's question.

Seeing this, the corner of Chi Meng's mouth twitched, it seemed that this old mother was a little unreliable, but seeing the dirt on Xian Shen's face, Chi Meng involuntarily stretched out her hand.

Xian Shen stared blankly at Chi Meng, letting her wipe the dirt off her face.

"Mom... you and us leave Dead Stream Forest."

Hearing this, Xianshen's heart couldn't help trembling, although she really wanted to agree, she still shook her head, she couldn't leave, otherwise the people in Shierdong would not let her daughter and Chi Li go.

"...Why?"

Chi Meng paused for wiping her hands, her eyes were slightly moist, she turned her head and asked nonchalantly, her tone seemed to be asking casually.

Xian Shen sighed deeply and did not answer, he waved his hand and said, "Take him with you and go, walk ten miles over there, give this to Shierdong and they will help."

After finishing speaking, he threw out a simple token, and several people couldn't help but look at each other. In the end, Li Ming asked Hou Qing to carry Chi Li on his back and walk out of the temple, leaving the mother and daughter behind.

"Why don't you tell me why she doesn't come out of Dead Creek Forest? Isn't it great to have a family reunion?"

Looking at the dilapidated temple, the empress couldn't help sighing. Li Ming thought for a moment and then said thoughtfully: "In Wandu Cave, Chi Li said that fresh ginseng was exiled by Shishidong. She didn't want to leave, maybe because of Shishidong. Reason."

Hearing this, everyone nodded slightly and waited for Chi Meng.

Everyone waited outside the temple for a long time before seeing Chi Meng come out in a daze. Seeing this, Li Ming patted Chi Meng's shoulder and said, "Are you all right?"

When Chi Meng heard the words, he hugged Li Ming directly. Tears of grievance from the corners of his eyes wet the clothes on Li Ming's shoulders. Li Ming looked at the girl with pear blossoms and rain in his arms, so he patted Chi Meng on the back to comfort him:
"Okay, there are still us here, let's go to Shierdong to rescue your father first."

Chi Meng let go of Li Ming just after hearing the words, looked at Chi Li on Hou Qing's back and nodded, Li Ming saw that Chi Meng's mood had stabilized and started on the road, Chi Meng really looked at the direction Li Ming was walking in doubt

"Xiao Guoguo, you have gone wrong, Twelve Dong is here."

Hearing this, Li Ming didn't stop and said without turning his head: "Your mother has been away from Shierdong for so many years, they have already moved, let's go this way."

Hearing this, everyone except the empress could not help but frown. Seeing that the empress had explained it to everyone, the few people came to their senses in vain, but they forgot that Qi Wang Li Maozhen came from Shierdong.

After realizing it, several people also followed. Li Ming followed the route given by Li Maozhen and led them through the Raodi mountain forest. birch forest.

"It turns out that Twelve Dongs are behind Huagu, no wonder I couldn't find them before."

Hou Qing looked at the Luohuadong in front of him and couldn't help frowning, as if hesitating, Li Ming couldn't help squinting his eyes when he saw this, with gossip shining in his eyes.

"Hou Qing, have you been to Luohua Cave before?"

Hou Qing fiddled with the bone flute in his hand, ignoring everyone's gossiping eyes and said flatly:
"One of the twelve dongs I searched for before may point to Huagu. Unfortunately, Luohuadong blocked the only way to Huagu, so I didn't go deeper."

"Then why don't you go deeper, aren't you very interested in Twelve Dong?"

Chi Meng tilted her head and asked suspiciously, Hou Qing glanced at the stone gate at the entrance of Luohua Cave

"I'm not interested in the women here. It's very troublesome to deal with them. I can't get around, so I look elsewhere."

Hearing this, Li Ming cast his eyes at the calm Hou Qing in disappointment. He thought that this coquettish guy was having an affair with the woman in Luohua Cave, but he didn't expect it to be so.

While the few people were chatting, the stone gate of Luohua Cave suddenly opened slowly, and several graceful women in red clothes wearing veils walked out slowly, supporting a tall woman with a stunning face. beauties.

"Wow, big beauty!"

Chi Meng couldn't help muttering.

"My friend from afar, I am Qianwu. Welcome to Luohua Cave."

The tall, slender and beautiful woman spoke slowly, then glanced around the crowd, and couldn't help but pause when she saw the empress and the surrendered ministers, and a flash of light flashed in her eyes.

"Alang Aya, who have come all the way, are a little tired. Why don't you go into the cave and have a rest?"

Qianwu seemed to be speaking politely to everyone, but his eyes kept staring at the empress and the surrender, making the two women uncomfortable for a while. Li Ming couldn't help but think of the word grinding mirror when he saw this, um, on earth It's called Lily.

Shaking his head to get rid of the inexplicable picture, Li Ming cupped his hands and saluted.
"Then I would like to thank Cave Master Qianwu."

The Luohua Cave is the only way to enter the Painting Valley, so everyone had no choice but to follow Qianwu into the Luohua Cave.

As far as the eye can see, the red birch trees are falling red leaves, a waterfall falls into the deep valley along the mountain stream, and dozens of wooden houses are located on the edge of the water.

Seeing how many people were indulging in the beautiful scenery inside the cave, Qianwu turned his head to look at a veiled woman beside him and said slowly, "It's rare for outsiders to come to Luohua Cave, so you can take a few Alangs to the side cave to wash up. Fan,"

Then he looked at the third daughter of the empress and the unconscious Chi Li, and told another subordinate:
"You go prepare a room and take the king to rest. Some Ayas come with me."

Chi Li, as the king of the Wandu Cave, Qianwu, naturally recognized it, but this is the Luohua Cave, only the Cave God can enter and exit at will, other men don't care who he is.

Li Ming looked at Qianwu's back and couldn't help squinting his eyes. Although he knew that Qianwu must have some calculations in his mind, he didn't care about it. Is the big heavenly position really amazing?

Huagu was close in front of him, but he was not in a hurry to go there. He happened to find a place to wash up first, so Li Ming and Hou Qing followed the woman wearing a veil to the side cave. After a while, he followed Qianwu.

Li Ming thought it was just a simple wash, but he didn't expect that when he entered the side cave, he found that there was still a hot spring for bathing in the cave.

"It's good to have a drink."

Li Ming looked at the hot springs surrounded by stones and nodded in satisfaction, but he didn't care about the iron gate that was suddenly closed. Isn't it enough to open the iron gate with your hands?Let's take a bath first.
