Xi Wuchang thought that this person had a clear demeanor and a noble air between his brows, and he was somewhat similar to the mermaids sent out from the imperial capital.

But there has never been a person with the surname Ning in the imperial capital. He said:

"Okay, Brother Ning, leave the herbs to me."

Originally, we both got what we needed, but now we are being polite to each other like friends.

In the mountain of corpses, there were only a few rugged rocks on the ground, and countless caves were buried by sand. Only blood-red crystals were left, emitting a faint light. Only in one corner of the stone forest were there some medicinal herbs.

But the stone forest is quite large, so they have to act separately. Ning Xiusu gave a rough description of the locations of several medicinal herbs.

He headed east, and then went alone to the left side of the stone forest. Xi Wuchang and Ying Che went west to look for it, and the three of them agreed to meet in an hour.

……

Deep in the towering stone forest, ghostly shadows stand in a faint red mist.

The soil under my feet is dry, and the rocks on the mountain walls are hard and gray-black in color, like the remains of a volcanic eruption.

The further you go in, the colder it gets.

Ning Xiusu felt cold all over and shivered for no reason. He had not taken a few steps when a figure suddenly passed by.

He was startled and saw a hint of maroon color quickly disappear into the corner and flash into the rock wall.

"Liuliu, come out."

He tried to ask, but there was no response for a long time.

Ning Xiusu became alert and went over to take a look, but there was no one there.

"whee."

Another sudden laugh startled me a little.

When Ning Xiusu turned around, a bronze ghost mask suddenly appeared there. His pupils trembled and he took three steps back.

Only then could he see clearly that it was a dried corpse, a skeleton like a dead branch, hanging precariously on the edge of the stone forest wall.

Originally, this stone forest looked like a pile of jagged rocks, and in the night it looked like many tall and thin ghostly shadows. With the mummies, it looked even more terrifying.

Ning Xiusu saw that the red fog was getting thicker and felt that something was wrong, so he decided to change the route.

Suddenly, I smelled a slight mineral scent like blood in the air, and there was also a very soft whisper of people talking, coming from somewhere.

He stopped and listened carefully.

The sound was found next to the body.

There was a bare stone wall there, the pitch-black rock had peeled off a bit, revealing a smoky red earth color. Suddenly, intermittent human voices could be heard...

It's strange, his original intention was to find medicine.

But I'm really curious, could this stone be alive?

Ning Xiusu couldn't help but touch it, and the originally solid blood-red stone suddenly exploded, revealing a stone door.

He quickly dodged and reacted quickly, so he was not affected by the exploding rocks.

The voice behind the door became clearer: "Is there anyone outside?"

Why does the sound coming from the stone gate sound like Hua Jianbai...

Ning Xiusu was overjoyed and leaned against the stone wall to ask, "Hua Jianbai, is that you?"

"Big villain!"

There was an exclamation from inside the door, as if someone had discovered a new world.

"How did you end up here?"

"It's a long story. Well, this place is really weird. Get out of the way. I'm going to blow it open with gunpowder."

Ning Xiusu did as he was told. With a loud bang, the stone door broke into pieces and rolled down. A figure rushed out of the cave, as if they were meeting again after a long separation, and pounced on him.

Everywhere he looked was desolate and horrible. Ning Xiusu's clothes were faintly bloodstained, and his face was pale and clear.

Hanamibai paused for a moment, choking with sobs as he called out, "Big villain..."

Ning Xiusu could see clearly now that his snow-blue robe inlaid with gold thread and embroidered with lotus flowers was very beautiful.

When their eyes met, the flower trembled like a defeated mountain spring, as if thousands of words were gathered into one, until the spring water gave off a faint smoke, which made the tip of the nose red.

"Hua Guard, why do you cry when you see me?"

As soon as he said this, he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder again. Hua Jianbai rushed over and hugged him.

Ning Xiusu took a breath of the light fragrance of intoxicating flowers on his clothes. When he exhaled, it was like the spring flowers had fallen, but the faint fragrance remained, which was quite intoxicating.

"What happened..."

he asks.

"Big villain, you disappeared for a long time! If it weren't for Uncle Chen, I would have no way of finding you."

Ning Xiusu felt guilty seeing him so sad. He wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know how.

"What Uncle Chen?"

"It's the bearded old man. Anyway, you've been missing for a few months, and I'm almost worried to death."

Hanamibai said this, wiping his tears in his arms. He was feeling uneasy and wanted to push the person away.

"But I've only been here for a few hours."

"I don't care, can you let me hold you for a while..."

Hua Jianbai hugged Ning Xiusu tighter. Ning Xiusu did not resist, but felt his clothes were wet and his heart was burning.

After a while, he sighed softly: "Honestly, the wound... hurts."

Hua Jianbai could only let go and wiped away another tear: "Big villain, I'm so happy that you're not dead."

"Evils last for thousands of years."

Hearing that he still had the mind to laugh at himself, Hua Jianbai burst into laughter and said:

"Do you know how to get out now?"

"I saw you coming here, and I wanted to ask you..."

As the two were talking, they heard a call from afar.

"Brother Ning."

Suddenly, a young man's voice was heard. When Ning Xiusu raised his eyes, he saw two people, one tall and one short, standing in a blood-colored area. The figures reflected in the blood crystals were tall and terrifying.

For some reason, Hanamibai subconsciously grabbed the person next to him.

Ning Xiusu's hand was held, and he was stunned for a moment. A trace of panic flashed in his eyes, which were as frightened as a flower or a mountain spring.

"you……"

As the two of them approached, Hua Jianbai took a half step back and said in horror:

"Do you know them?"

Ning Xiusu replied in a low voice, "I saw one of them in my dream, and now I'm here, I've actually met him."

Hanamibai suddenly remembered something and asked, "Are you talking about the time when Shuitan fainted?"

When Ning Xiusu nodded, the two of them had already come closer and saw that Xi Wuchang had indeed picked a purple jade fairy in his hand.

"Here, Brother Ning."

Xi Wuchang handed over the thing in his hand.

When Ning Xiusu took it, Ying Che spoke: "We helped you, now you have to help us find a way out."

As they were talking, they saw Hua Jianbai, a beautiful woman whom they had never seen before.

Hanamibai knew someone and said in a cold tone:

"I know the way here, come with me."

In the hazy moonlight, there are many caves here. It is quiet in the deep night. Looking around, it seems like a place with countless dead bones hanging.

On the hills and valleys, there are countless rocks shaped like spines. The blood crystals emit a reddish light, as if stained with blood, and emit a fishy smell mixed with mineral flavor, which is disgusting.

Hua Jianbai remained silent for a moment, pulling Ning Xiusu forward before asking softly, "Why are you hanging out with that guy?"

Listening to what he said, it seems like he has a big opinion...

Ning Xiusu didn't understand: "What are you talking about?"

"The one who looks like a scholar."

"Why, do you have a feud?"

Hua Jianbai noticed that the two men were following him too closely, one in front and one behind. He wondered if they thought it was not good to say bad things in front of others.

He swallowed his words, turned around, and said something to Ying Che.

"Hey, sir, go to the end of this road and then turn left."

After saying that, he was about to pull Ning Xiusu to another road, but unexpectedly Ying Che followed. Hua Jianbai "tsk"ed, "Sir, we have some private matters to attend to. Please don't follow us."

Ying Che's eyes flashed with a hint of darkness as he looked at the two of them with a hint of oppression:

"After all, you two appeared here out of nowhere. This corpse land is very strange. If you are not on the same page, I'm afraid it won't be a good idea."

"That's right," Xi Wuchang also said, "Brother Ning, you promised to take us out."

Ning Xiusu didn't know why Hua Jianbai was so hostile to these two people. He said, "I promised, of course I will do it, but my friend has something to say..."

Ying Che's mouth corners slightly tightened, a bit fierce.

"We're all men, is there anything we can't listen to together?"

Hearing Yingche's interruption, Hanami was extremely frustrated: "Who would be like a stinky man like you!"

Ying Che and Xi Wuchang's gazes narrowed at the same time. They looked at their clasped hands and then at Hua Jianbai.

After all, he had thin eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, and looked like a prostitute. For no reason, the two of them seemed to have met each other, and they said "Oh" at the same time, but did not follow him.

Hua Jianbai dragged Ning Xiusu to a deserted place, then said stealthily:

"Big villain, do you know who that scholar is?"

"Oh, his name is Ying Che, and he's a mermaid."

Hanamibai exclaimed, "Ouch!" "That's not what I'm asking you. Did you know that he's the boss of the Tongshan Dojo?"

"What did you say?"

Ning Xiu frowned, as if his brain had suddenly crashed.

Hua Jianbai continued, "The previous Taoist master is dead. The monsters in the Qianluo Mountain Mine were all caused by this group of people..."

"So... that's not right. The plot shouldn't have started to get messy three hundred years ago. Why am I a little confused?"

"What's even more confusing is that the guy who gave you the herbs was the owner of the Xi family who later provided the pill formula to the Tongshan Dojo."

"Xi family? When did the Xi family appear?"

"In short, they are not good people. Lord Meng found out about it in the two months since you disappeared."

This amount of information was too much, and Ning Xiusu was shocked and couldn't digest it all.

Hanamibai was just about to tell you all the information he had learned in the past few months.

But suddenly, a sharp "Ah" was heard, the sound was so sharp that it could almost pierce the eardrum.

He covered his ears and couldn't speak.
