The sun is scorching outside the border town, and even the temperature of the stones is not easy to touch. The path of sheep intestines turns around a mountain, and two black dots are moving on the hillside.

Mu Xiao's red face was sweating freely, and his skin turned hot under the scorching sun. At this time, he looked back on the mountainside and looked back. The long path was faintly visible under the weeds, and found that he had walked a long way with Qi Nian on his back. He lifted it up with both force, and a scream came from behind: "Ah, be gentle, your feet hurt."

Since applying medicine to Qi Nian, Mu Xiao has never escaped from her palm. Nearly half of the medicine that Old Man Zhai gave him was taken away by her crying and making noise. Fortunately, she despised the most inconspicuous bottles and jars. Because there was no sign on it, she didn't know that the real best one was in those bottles.

"Impossible, my medicine has pain relief. I have used it myself before, don't fool me!" Mu Xiao replied unhappily.

She carried her here from the edge of the abyss. It was still under the hot sun, and her body was already covered in sweat. If she hadn't been injured by her heels, she might have left her alone and ran away. At this time, she would have to carry her back to the dilapidated temple near the top of the mountain. It was still a long way to go, and Mu Xiao would be tired if he thought about it.

Qi Nian was a little gloating behind her back, but she never showed it. The sound of her speech was in sharp contrast with the hot weather: "When it comes to your medicine, those bottles and jars are like things that only exist in the Qingyang Emperor Capital. Have you ever been to the imperial capital?" Qi Nian thought for a moment, looked at Mu Xiao's side face behind her back with a little contempt: "I think you should have stolen it, right? You don't look like someone who has been to the imperial capital."

Mu Xiao suppressed his anger and the urge to throw her to the ground, grabbed her popliteal fossa with his hands and said, "Who am I?"

Mu Xiao stepped up, carrying a heavy Qi Nian on his back, which seemed a little difficult. The important thing was that he could not touch her body too much. At this time, he was still wearing a thick straw mat behind him, which was as uncomfortable as if he was putting on a saddle.

Unexpectedly, Mu Xiao stopped again, turned his head and swept backwards. He clearly saw Qi Nan's sun hat woven roughly with grass on her. She was so cool and comfortable. When she saw Mu Xiao turn around, her originally contemptuous face immediately turned into a stiff smile: "Let's go, hold on for a while!"

"You first talk about what people who have been to the imperial capital look like, and what do I look like if I haven't been to it?" Mu Xiao is becoming more and more interested in the imperial capital now, and he suddenly has some longing for it.

Qi Nian pouted and looked like a girl. In fact, she was already in her twenties, but her delicate face covered her real age. She put on a straw hat on her head, Qi Nian pondered: "People who have been to the imperial capital will dress themselves up more, and you, obviously not a soldier, are wearing military uniforms, and they are also Youlong's military uniforms. No wonder they locked you in the Ghost Gate."

tread!

Mu Xiao ignored her, held her body on his back, continued to climb, muttering: "Forget it, answer the question."

"What answer is wrong? Are you talking to you right? If you want to say what you look like now, um! Two words can describe you." Qi Nian pretended to be mysterious.

Mu Xiao was delighted, but he wanted to hear what good things this woman could say: "What two words?"

"Grandmaster!"

Poof

"ah"

As soon as Qi Nian said something, Mu Xiao accidentally stepped on the round stones on the roadside and threw himself to the ground. Qi Nian screamed behind him and pressed on his head. Mu Xiao fell into a posture of dog gnawing on mud. Fortunately, there was a grass on his face, which seemed to be hurting the roots except for a hint of hotness, but the neck seemed to be pressed tightly by heavy objects.

"You, get up first, I want to crush me to death!" Mu Xiao's low voice came to the grassroots.

Qi Nian, who was originally injured in the heel, actually got up in a panic and walked aside. Although she was just a little lame, it seemed that she did not affect her walking, and it was not as strong as her back. Mu Xiao sat on the road, panting, and spitting on weeds in her mouth.

"Do you want to kill me? It's so easy to walk alone?" Qi Nian's face looked tightly at Mu Xiao, not caring about whether Mu Xiao was injured or not.

Mu Xiao didn't say anything, but glanced at her with a blank expression. When he turned his head, he made a cracking sound on his neck. He looked up at the mountain, and there was a two-meter-long staircase to reach the dilapidated temple. Mu Xiao stood up and looked at Qi Nian who looked coldly at him and said, "Don't look at me with such a look. Now he has carried you to the temple. Should you return the token to me, right?"

Although that token is not of great use for Mu Xiao now, it is not guaranteed to be used in the future. Besides, this token is incredible even after He Nian, which further shows its status as its owner. You must not let Qi Nian take it away. If you use the token to cause trouble, you will be in trouble for no reason.

"Who said that you will return your token when you arrive at the temple? You promised to go to Youlong with me." Qi Nian was a little unreasonable.

Mu Xiao was crazy and kicked his right foot hard into the grass. But the damn weeds grew around a stone. This kick made Mu Xiao retract his feet after suffering pain, and his toes were so painful that it was so sore that it was hard to describe. He sat down on his butt, and his hand, who was about to take off his shoes, suddenly stopped and subconsciously looked up at Qi Nian. Mu Xiao patted his butt and stood up again, and walked towards the temple stone steps without passing her.

Qi Nian frowned, and the corners of her mouth moved slightly and muttered: "If you don't carry it, don't carry it. As for self-harm?" The next moment, his voice suddenly increased: "Wait for me, the temple is very dangerous."

Seeing Mu Xiao walking halfway to the stone steps, Qi Nian became a little nervous. The temple was where he was swept into the stone cave that day, and this time he came to find out what happened. According to ancient books, this place was originally an ancient formation, but the mystery was hidden around this dilapidated temple.

"Is there anything more dangerous than you?" Mu Xiao did not turn around, but continued to step onto the stone steps. When he walked to the temple gate, he took a deep breath. Looking around, most of the border town appeared in his eyes.

Mu Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing how Yi Ling and Qi Nian Jiang Qiaoqiao are now, I hope they can all be safe. Looking up at the locust tree that blocks the sun, Mu Xiao glanced around again and found that there were stones everywhere around it, and there were no big trees. However, the locust tree in front of him was till the rocks grew against the trend.

Yes, the root of the locust tree is a stone. The root of the tree is like a human tendon wrapped around a stone, and the stone below is more like a huge heart.

"You stay away from that"

At this time, Qi Nian climbed up the last stone step and sat sideways on it, but the hot stone at the next moment had to stand up and walk to where Mu Xiao was. His face looked at Mu Xiao very serious: "I entered the cave from here a few days ago. If I hadn't read the books of the Ghost Gate before, I wouldn't know where I was." "Who would believe such a bad story!" Mu Xiao grinned, but his eyes were always staring at the stone like a heart under the locust tree. A new scar on the root of the tree attracted his attention.

"Have you really been here?" Mu Xiao turned around and looked at Qi Nian behind him, with a skeptical attitude on his face. Although there were traces of being cut on the roots of the tree, it might not be her. After all, it doesn't look like a forbidden area, and anyone can come up.

"It must not be what you did." Then he looked at a loose soil and big footprints on the side of the stone. This was obviously not Qi Nian's footprints.

Qi Nian leaned over to look at the tree roots, then looked at the footprints on the ground and said, "I did not do this, but I did get in from here a few days ago." Qi Nian looked at the slightly twisted footprints carefully and continued, "The person who has been here should be a cripple. Has he been swept into the formation?"

Listening to Qi Nian's words, Mu Xiao was quite interested in looking at her, thinking that if this woman was a little normal like now, she would be considered a rare beautiful girl, as it was said that she would destroy everything.

"What are you doing? Do you want to die?" Seeing Mu Xiao stunned at her, Qi Nian shouted coldly.

Mu Xiao looked back at the deep and shallow footprints on the ground and asked, "How did you know that the person who has been here is a cripple?"

"You don't believe it if you say you have a bad mind. Look at the footprints, one deep and one shallow, and one side obviously discharges soil outward. If you walk normally, you will definitely be a cripple. Another possibility is that someone does it on purpose." Qi Nian said as she continued to circle around the temple entrance.

Mu Xiao was also curious and followed behind and kept watching. Suddenly he found that as Qi Nian said, the footprints of the cripple coming out were indeed deep and shallow. Isn’t there a cripple in front of him?

Qi Nian     Yu Guang flew back and found that Mu Xiao was following him all the time, looking at the place he had walked seriously. Looking at his footprints, and remembering what he had just said, Qi Nian suddenly became angry, and suddenly blasted at Mu Xiao with a palm.

Mu Xiao was unprepared and was knocked out several meters away by a palm. Although he did not hurt his body, it made him very depressed. He stepped on the ground and fell steadily. Just as he was about to curse, the locust tree behind him shook without wind.

The stone at the root actually showed a faint rune, as if ancient words were flowing on the surface. After panic, he retreated for several meters and looked at the stone pressing under the locust tree. At this time, Qi Nian's face became solemn, and she regretted slapping this palm at Mu Xiao.

"Go away from it." Qi Nian was a little anxious. Seeing Mu Xiao still staring at the stone in a daze, she endured the pain from her heels, limped over and grabbed Mu Xiao's arm and pulled him over.

"What's wrong?" Mu Xiao's eyes flashed, as if he had just returned from another world.

"What happened to you just now?"     Seeing Mu Xiao, he was confused and asked seriously.

Mu Xiao couldn't tell what it felt, as if there was a kind of Dongsi attracting himself or confusing him. Looking at the stone was like seeing another world, it was a very magical world, as if it was a world that could be dominated by himself.

"I don't know! That stone seems to be set up by someone." Mu Xiao's voice was not loud, and his face was full of incredibleness.

Qi Nian stood behind her, staring at the stones under the locust tree and pondered quietly, and suddenly a unimaginable smile appeared. Mu Xiao actually felt that this was the time when he met her the most like a woman.
