Both worlds are like dreams

As soon as Lin Yu came back, she told Xu Yao and Wei Yunzhou about her plan to go to Qingsong Mountain to look for medicine, but the two did not say much.

Because the two of them obviously understood that they could not stop Xue Huang from making her decision.

So they both said that they could go, but they also wanted to go together.

Xue Huang raised her eyebrows, "It's just to find some medicine, there's no need to send you two."

Gu Qinglan said, "Indeed, I will accompany Miss Xuehuang this time, and Brother Wei and Brother Xuyao will stay in the city to continue investigating the plague and the Apocalypse spy."

"Brother Qinglan, you don't have to go." Xuehuang said.

"I have made up my mind." Gu Qinglan's expression left no room for doubt. He knew that no one could change Xue Huang's decision, and since he couldn't stop her, he would accompany her, so he didn't stop her from the beginning.

Wei Yunzhou said, "The valley outside the Earth Vein Fire Lotus is guarded by the descendants of the Sword Tomb. You can't easily enter. If you want to go in, you must defeat the descendants of the Sword Tomb."

"Sword Tomb?" Xue Huang asked in surprise. "The heir of the world-famous Sword Tomb is actually in Qingsong Mountain?"

Legend has it that the first generation swordsmith in the Sword Tomb forged countless famous swords and had long been admired by swordsmen all over the world, because the swords forged by that swordsmith were all spiritual. For example, the Qingshuang Sword in Rong Yu's hand was forged by the first generation swordsmith, and it carried a majestic aura on the day it was completed.

"This matter is extremely secretive, but it is not impenetrable. The reason why the heir of the Sword Tomb is guarding Qingsong Mountain is because there is a peerless sword in the Poison Valley, named Tian Qian. Legend has it that only the destined person can pull out that sword, and the heir of the Sword Tomb has been waiting for that person all his life." Wei Yunzhou said.

"Why is this peerless sword in the valley?" Xue Huang asked.

Wei Yunzhou shook his head. "If you want to enter the valley, you can only defeat the heir of the Sword Tomb. It is said that his strength is extremely terrifying. I am afraid you are no match for him."

"My Mystical Ice Curse is close to the fourth level, and my Double Seven Swordsmanship has also reached a new level. I can fight. Second Uncle, you should stay. After all, you are the only one who is more suitable to track down the traces of Apocalypse's secret agents."

Xu Yao looked at Wei Yunzhou and said, "You stay, I'll go."

Xue Huang raised an eyebrow, "You?"

Xuyao didn't say anything and just walked out.

"Okay." Xue Huang sighed. "Then the four of us will set off together."

Wei Yunzhou looked at them and said coldly: "Come back alive."

Gu Qinglan bowed and said, "Don't worry, Brother Wei."

After they prepared the necessary items, they set off on horseback. Qingsong Mountain was not far from here, and they soon reached the foot of the mountain, but the mountain road was not easy to walk on.

At the beginning, they could still travel on horseback, but the further they went in, the more rugged the mountain road became, and the vines in the forest were entangled, making it impossible to pass on horseback.

Xu Yao swung his sword directly to clear a path ahead.

But soon, the road in the mountains became very difficult to walk on. It was paved with almost all kinds of large stones, and it was an uphill road. Some of the stones were unstable and became loose when the horse's hooves stepped on them.

They had no choice but to give up riding horses. Fortunately, everyone had good martial arts skills and they managed to climb over the first hill before dark.

Next was a gentle downhill road, and after walking for another hour, they arrived near the beach of a river.

Lin Yu suggested that they rest here, because the situation in the forest was unclear, and if they went forward and encountered any unexpected situation, it would be difficult to deal with.

Seeing that Xuyao and Gu Qinglan had no objections, Xuehuang also agreed. The terrain here is quite open and there is water, which is indeed a good place for repairs.

There were dense trees in the woods and high mountains blocking the view, so it got dark quickly.

Xue Huang skillfully collected dry branches, lit a fire, and boiled water. She grew up in the mountains and when she traveled, she mostly lived this kind of life sleeping in the open air, so she was naturally very familiar with it.

Lin Yu sprinkled some anti-insect medicine around, and several people gathered around the fire to repair it.

Gu Qinglan handed the roasted dry food to Xuehuang. Seeing that her hands were covered with dust, he carefully wiped it off with a handkerchief.

Xue Huang smiled slightly and started eating the bun in her hand. However, after taking two bites, she fixed her eyes on Xu Yao's face.

Because she was really curious, how did this man who always wore a mask eat? Before, Hua Yu asked him to eat, but he never showed up, but always ate in his room. Now, was he going to carry her on his back?

Xu Yao obviously noticed her gaze and was speechless. How could she still be curious about such a thing at this time? Xu Yao was too lazy to pay attention to her and walked away silently.

Xue Huang found it funny and said to Lin Yu, "Is your master also like this when he's with you guys?"

Lin Yu kept silent, just sat there with his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart, turning a deaf ear to Xue Huang's words.

Xue Huang twitched her lips and ignored them. She took out a piece of osmanthus candy from her sleeve and stuffed it into Gu Qinglan's hand, smiling like a little fox.

Gu Qinglan didn't say anything, but seemed to be able to see what she was thinking from her eyes and smiled slightly.

At this time in the forest, only the occasional sounds of birds and insects could be heard, as if they had returned to the day many years ago when they had watched the moon side by side.

Xue Huang didn't need to say anything. Even after three years, she and Gu Qinglan didn't feel alienated at all. So some things didn't need to be said.

Xue Huang looked at the night sky and soon fell asleep. A cool breeze seemed to blow at night, and she felt something warm and held it tightly.

But it seemed that she hadn't been holding him for long when she suddenly felt an unusual chill. Xue Huang quickly opened her eyes and looked around.

Gu Qinglan and the others seemed to have noticed something unusual and woke up.

Xue Huang moved her body and realized that she was hugging Gu Qinglan when she fell asleep. She didn't care about being embarrassed and stood up directly, because there seemed to be something moving slowly between the trees not far from them, and she clearly heard the sound of branches being broken.

Xu Yao drew his sword and whispered, "Put out the fire."

Xue Huang immediately struck out with a palm, and the cold air extinguished the flames. The thing in the dark night was most likely attracted by the fire, so putting oneself in the darkness at this time would better hide oneself.

Gu Qinglan drew out his sword and protected Xue Huang. Xue Huang also slowly condensed a frost sword in his hand and stared at that direction.

Suddenly, the sound of a tree being broken was heard very clearly, and a strange friction sound was also very clear, as if something was crawling over and breaking the tree.

But what could be so strong that it could break a tree? A bear?

How can a bear be so reserved?

At this moment, there was a sudden flash of lightning in the sky, and the blue light illuminated the river beach in an instant. The figure hidden in the bushes also revealed its true appearance. It turned out to be a giant snake as thick as a bucket, at least six or seven feet long, hovering between the trees. Its scales looked like the scales of a dragon under the light of lightning, emitting a cold light.

The most terrifying thing was its posture. It stood there with its head held high, its yellow eyes like copper bells staring coldly at them, and it slowly spit out its tongue from its mouth, as if it were a king high above, looking down at its prey.
