He quickly took out a backpack, then opened it and took out a large ball of cloth with several slender hemp ropes tied to it, all of which had one end tightly tied to the backpack. The things looked a little old, as if they had been there for some time. .

Ming Na asked curiously: "What is this?" Xiao Tianjian smiled: "This is my homemade parachute. It may not be professional enough, but it is enough here." He spread the cloth and rope on the ground and put on his backpack , took out another rope, threaded it through the thin hemp ropes, knotted it into a rope loop, put it under Mingna's armpits and tied it tightly. After testing the strength of the rope, he said to himself: "It should be OK? Multiple children won't weigh much."

Ming Na watched him busy with her eyes wide open, a little puzzled: "Grandpa, what on earth are you doing? Aren't we going to take another road?"

Xiao Tianjian checked the rope and cloth, and smiled when he heard the words: "Don't worry, you will know later." He looked up at the sky: "The time is almost up, we have to hurry up."

Ming Na was about to ask what time it was when she suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing from behind, and a huge change occurred on the top of the mountain. The floating clouds on the mountainside seemed to be pulled by something, gradually forming whirlpools and roaring down the mountain. The clouds in the sky blocked the sun and the surroundings became gloomy. Ming Na only felt that her body was getting colder and colder. As soon as she called out "Grandpa", she was hugged by Xiao Tianjian: "Hold my neck tightly, don't let go, you know?" Ming Na nodded, feeling a little bit in her heart. I was nervous, as if something terrible was about to happen.

Sure enough, when the wind gradually weakened and the rotation of the clouds slowed down, Xiao Tianjian hugged his granddaughter tightly and jumped into the center of the clouds. Mingna screamed in fright, but she was soon blown away by the wind. I couldn't open my mouth anymore, and I couldn't even open my eyes.

After the initial rapid fall, they all paused, as if being pulled by something, and then slowed down the speed of their fall. As the whirlwind circled in the valley, it was dizzyingly fast at first. Gradually, the speed increased. Just slowed down. At this time, Ming Na reluctantly opened her eyes, only to see a large piece of cloth covering the sky above her head, which was exactly the piece she took out of her backpack just now.

She hugged her grandfather's neck tightly, and was a little scared at first, but when she saw that she was slowly falling down in the valley with the wind, she felt excited again. Is this what it feels like to fly in the sky? It was simply more interesting than grandpa using Qinggong to take her flying. She could clearly see the rocks and plants around her, and even saw a few little monkeys curiously coming out of the cave to look at her. One monkey even threw a fruit over curiously, but was soon carried away by the whirlwind. Going in the other direction, she happened to hit another monkey, making her giggle.

When Xiao Tianjian saw this, he also smiled happily. He carefully controlled the simple parachute and landed it at the expected position. He took out the sword he usually used from the ring and slashed towards the nearest mountain peak with the help of the rebounding force. The strength allowed them to break free from the scope of the whirlwind, and soon left the original valley and floated to another valley nearby. At the same time, their falling speed also accelerated.

Mingna watched the wind that rolled the clouds getting further and further away, while she and her grandfather came to the back of the mountain peak. There were no monkeys and fruit trees here, only bare rocks. It was far less beautiful than the valley just now. Moreover, the one that landed now The speed was a little too fast, and she was a little scared.

At this time, a gust of wind rose from somewhere under their feet, the parachute suddenly swelled, and the traction of the hemp rope suddenly increased. Although Ming Na felt that their descent speed had slowed down again, the rope loop under her arm was slowly sliding upward.

Xiao Tianjian didn't notice his granddaughter's condition, but carefully controlled the rope. He could already see the large cliff thirty or forty meters below his feet, which was the destination of the trip and the large lawn where he landed. He pulled on one of the thin twine ropes, intending to redirect the parachute.

Ming Na hugged her grandfather's neck tightly, and was very worried about the rope that was tightening more and more towards her neck. She couldn't help but shout "Grandpa" loudly, but she heard Xiao Tianjian say: "Don't make any noise, I'll wait if you have anything to say." Besides, I'm busy." She had no choice but to shut up and hugged her grandfather tightly, but she was still young and her strength was no longer enough. She could only hold on, and the noose was already stuck on her head. .

At this time, the wind had gradually disappeared, and they were floating in the air purely relying on the power of their parachutes. Xiao Tianjian had experience, and he quickly floated above the lawn. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and shouted happily: "We are about to land!" But Mingna said fearfully: "Grandpa, I can't hold you anymore..." He was like this Only then did she realize that the noose that was originally placed under her granddaughter's armpits had come out of the child's body at some point. It was only blocked by her arms and could not completely come off. However, because of this, the child's arms were under great pressure. You may be forced to let go at any time.

His hands were busy now, and he couldn't free his hands to hold the child, so he had to fight for a quick solution: "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid."

Mingna hugged his neck hard, and when she saw the ground getting closer and closer, she quickly closed her eyes. With a shock, she felt herself being carried forward a few meters, and her hands could no longer support her, and she relaxed. It opened and the noose was quickly released. She was afraid that she would fall, so she screamed and held on to her grandfather's clothes. She didn't know she was safe until her feet touched the ground and she felt no pain.

Opening her eyes, she found that she was on a large lawn, with a large shadow above her head floating and falling to the ground next to her. She shouted happily: "We're here, we're finally here!"

"Yes, we are here, but can you let go first?" Xiao Tianjian's depressed voice came from above. Ming Na looked up strangely, only to find that the epic hero was standing in only his underwear, looking miserable.

Ming Na shouted again: "Grandpa, why don't you wear pants?!" Xiao Tianjian became even more depressed: "I wore them, but you pulled them off." Ming Na blinked and saw that her hands were indeed pulling her Grandpa's trousers, giggled twice, and let go. Xiao Tianjian hurriedly put on his pants. Before he could fasten his belt, a burst of laughter came from not far away: "Hehehe, old friend, when did you become interested in running naked?"

Ming Na heard the sound and went away, eyes wide open. The person who came was an old man who couldn't tell how old he was. He was wearing a dirty black robe. There were unknown stains on the robe, and it was disgusting. Although he was bald, he had a big beard, which was knotted because it was too long, but the strange thing was that the beard was actually bright pink.

Xiao Tianjian was extremely depressed. Why did this person come so quickly? He tied up his belt and turned to his old friend and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I'm still wearing my underwear. Where can I run naked? But your beard is getting more and more amazing. What new thing did you get this time?"

"It's a little gadget, very interesting." The old man came over cheerfully, the wrinkles on his face seemed to bloom like a chrysanthemum: "Where did you kidnap this child from? The one who came last time was obviously a boy. "

Ming Na stared at his beard, with a big smile on her face: "My name is Ming Na. Grandpa, who are you?" She reached out and grabbed his bright pink beard, "Is this true? "The men pulled it out hard.

The old man had a headache and shouted: "Let go, let go, this is a real beard!" Pulling back his beard, he said to Xiao Tianjian with tears in his eyes: "This one is more naughty than the last one. Are you sure she is wearing the right clothes?"

Xiao Tianjian reluctantly introduced: "My little granddaughter, Ming Na, is the daughter of my youngest son. The one last time was my grandson." Then he said to his granddaughter: "This is Grandpa Sennett, my friend, a great magician Master." After a pause, a strange expression appeared on his face: "But what he does is no different from that of a witch."

"You are slandering! I am the greatest magician in the history of the whole continent!" Sennett, the strange old man, blew his beard and glared in retort. Then he changed his smile and said to Minna: "Do you like my beard? Isn't it beautiful? I have a special potion that can change the color of your hair, do you want to try it?"

Minna looked at the beard again, then turned to look at her grandfather. Seeing that he just turned his head and said nothing, she nodded vigorously, and was pulled away by Sennet.

Less than a hundred meters ahead, on the side of the mountain, there was a strange house, which was Sennett's home. The entire house is made of gray stone. Rather than being a house, it is more like a house that was blown by the wind and stuck diagonally on another house, and then was penetrated straight by a large chimney. There is a tower about thirty meters high next to it, with a small shed on top, which seems to be a watchtower or something like that.

Standing in front of the house was a young and strong man with a stunning face. He glanced at Ming Na coldly, nodded to Sennett, and glanced at Xiao Tianjian, who was taking a slow step, and his gaze lingered for a moment longer. Seconds later, he walked silently to the small room on the east side.

Minna watched him disappear through the door, turned to Sennett and exclaimed: "That man is so beautiful!"

"Is he a half-elf?" Xiao Tianjian followed, "I see that he has the pointed ears of an elf, but his figure is exactly like that of a human. He must be the child of a human and an elf."

"Probably so, I didn't ask and he didn't say anything." Sennett said nonchalantly, "He suddenly appeared on the lawn and was seriously injured. I rescued him, so he just stayed here. He left and said he would be my guard."

"Poor man, he drank the potion you brewed and was not poisoned to death?" Xiao Tianjian shuddered.

Sennett rolled his eyes at him: "Speak as if you haven't drank before."

Mingna could clearly see the expression on her grandfather's face that he wanted to vomit.

Entering the house, you are faced with a large stone fireplace, which is strangely burning very hot in the June day. There are three or four cauldrons in front of the fireplace, all of which are boiling, and there are many iron or pottery pots placed around it. The wooden shelves of different heights, with bottles of liquor on them, were reflecting an unknown light under the firelight.

The ceiling on the left side of the room is slanted. Mingna remembers that it was probably the "floor" of the "house" that was stuck at an angle. There was a staircase leading to the second floor. On the right side of the room, there is a large workbench and a large armchair. There are also many shelves, cabinets and small tables around it, all with various bottles. There is a door on the wall, and there seems to be another one behind it. Room.

Minna moved closer to several large glass bottles on a shelf. She didn't know what they contained. She identified them for a long time. She was a little unsure whether one of the bottles contained earthworms or mouse tails, while the other bottle... It seems to be the eyes of some kind of animal. She shuddered and looked back at the two "grandpas", only to see Xiao Tianjian taking out several bottles from the ring, which contained many beautiful things.

Xiao Tianjian said: "I have collected these over the past year, some from the Yalu Forest, some from Dragon Island and the Coral Sea. See if they work."

Sennett looked at the bottles carefully and said happily: "It's great, it's great! Star anemone, black coral polyps, Gila grass, blue blood algae, and the crystals of the fire-type Warcraft! I thought that now the Warcraft They are all extinct. Huh? Is this... a colorful orchid? I thought five colors were rare enough, but you can actually find colorful ones!" He was so excited that his face turned red, and his pink beard made it even more weird.

Xiao Tianjian asked anxiously: "Are these things enough with what I collected before? It's...the one I mentioned to you last time."

"No problem, no problem. I'll start to help you do it later. If everything goes well, it can be done in a month at most." Sennett's eyes glowed, and suddenly he reached out and knocked Ming Na's hand off, "Children can't touch it. !Xingxingkui is poisonous!"

Minna retracted her hand and asked curiously: "Is this called Xingxingkui? It's really interesting to twinkle and twinkle."

But the old people didn't find it interesting and hurriedly put away the table of dangerous items, much to Minna's displeasure: "Grandpa Sennett, didn't you say you wanted to give me a try on a potion that can change the color of my hair? Where is it?"

Sennett took down a few bottles from the shelf, took out one and said: "The square bottle contains something that can change the color of your hair, and the cylindrical bottle contains something that can change the color of your eyes. You have to try it." which one?"

Mingna looked around, and was about to reach out for it, but was stopped by Xiao Tianjian: "Xiao Mingna, you'd better be mentally prepared, his potions are disgusting."

nausea? But what was in the bottle was very beautiful colored juice, just like the orange juice I drank last time. She looked at her grandfather in confusion, and saw that he just sighed and did not stop him. After a moment of hesitation, she boldly took the bottle, opened it and took a sip.

It's really disgusting. It's obviously orange juice, but why does it taste like raw beef with pomegranate juice

Mingna looked around for water, but suddenly she felt a chill on her head, and her hair had turned the color of orange. She opened her mouth wide and looked at Sennett in surprise. The strange old man asked with a smile: "Isn't it interesting?"

She nodded sharply, rushed to him again, looked at the bottle in his hand, chose a square one with sky blue semen inside, and took a sip. Well, this time it tasted like sour mulberry and beer. As her head cooled down, her hair turned half orange and half sky blue.

Sennett smiled and said: "The potion is valid for one day. If you drink other potions during this period, it will become half of one color. If you drink four kinds, your hair will have four colors."

Minna was happy: "It's so fun! I want to try again!" She took another bottle, but this time it was cylindrical and filled with golden sesame. It tasted extremely sweet, but her eyes After itching for a while, her eyes changed from green to gold. Drink another bottle of red, and one eye turns red.

Ming Na was having so much fun that she didn't even notice that Xiao Tianjian was helplessly dragged to the small room to discuss what to do with "those things". Soon she was no longer satisfied with the contents of those bottles, but Start attacking the medicine bottles in other cabinets. But before her fingers touched the bottles, they were blocked. There seemed to be something transparent and soft that sealed the cabinet, preventing her from touching the items inside.

She poked the layer of things with interest, thinking it was fun, so she poked a few more times. Unexpectedly, the cabinet suddenly let out a burst of laughter, which startled her. Sennett popped his head out of the room: "Xiao Mingna, don't tease my cabinet." He took out a stick and knocked on a tea tray in front of the door, and then said: "There is food here, you eat something first." Come on." Then he retreated.

Ming Na took a closer look, and sure enough, a small plate of bread and a cup of hot milk appeared on the tea tray. She carried the things to the big workbench, climbed on the chair, and started eating.

She got up early in the morning and climbed the mountain for most of the day. She was already tired and hungry. After finishing all the food, she patted her belly with satisfaction, leaned back, and hit something with her elbow. The body suddenly sank, and the person and the chair fell into the hole that opened at some point in the ground.

(Extra...can't come out yet...sorry...)
