Bian Ding was so shocked by Xia Chu's scolding that he didn't dare to move. He had just seen Xia Chu pick a similar flower, and then he wanted to touch this similar stamen on a whim.
Xia Chu quickly rushed over, pushed him behind him, took out a small tweezers from somewhere, pulled out all the sharp thorns in the pistil, and carefully put it into a porcelain bottle.
Bian Ding poked his head out from behind him, looked at the smile on his face, and asked him: "Good thing?"
Xia Chu put away the porcelain bottle and walked to the edge of the pool to wash his face. After getting up, he flicked the water on his face, tilted his head and smiled: "Do you know what kind of flower this is?"
Bian Ding wiped away the water stains on his face, pointed to the flower and asked, "What flower? You are so precious."
"Stay away." Xia Chu dragged him back again before continuing: "Born from rotting corpses and growing from withered bones, it can kill people in a matter of seconds."
His tone was soft, but Bian Ding's body was already covered with chills. When he saw Xia Chu tilted his head again while speaking, showing a bit of innocence and cuteness, a bad feeling arose in his heart.
Sure enough, Xia Chu paused and said, "The world calls it the piranha flower."
A vein throbbed on Bian's forehead, and he pointed to the place where he held the porcelain bottle in his arms: "Then why did you pull out his thorn just now..."
Xia Chu rolled her eyes at him: "That's not a thorn!"
Bian Ding snorted: "I watched you pull out that sharp thing. It's not a thorn."
Xia Chu suddenly pinched both sides of his cheeks, causing Bian Ding's mouth to dent involuntarily. Xia Chu knocked on his exposed front teeth: "Those are its teeth."
After Xia Chu let go, Bian Ding touched his teeth, then looked at the huge and gorgeous flower, and his body shook unconsciously.
However, Diandian, who was lying on Xia Chu's shoulder, trembled imitating his example, and his sarcasm was vividly expressed by a red fox.
"Pry off the sharp thorns on the flowers while they are fresh before they can be used as medicine. These sharp thorns are its teeth, which are much more valuable than your front teeth..." Xia Chu said jokingly.
Bian Ding twitched the corner of his mouth and looked away from Diandian: "Why do you still keep this thing? It can kill you and harm others!"
Xia Chu's eyes moved towards the huge and gorgeous flower. Behind the flower were the plummeting waterfall and the distant mountains.
Bian Ding saw his silhouette, which was as beautiful as the distant mountains and near the water, but such a good-looking face was covered with a layer of pity that seemed to be absent, as if it was shrouded in mist and covered with rain and wind.
"It's not easy to grow such a big flower after eating so many corpses." What Xia Chu blurted out next caused another layer of cold sweat to form on his forehead.
It really blinded him. He actually thought that the scene where the young master admired the flowers was very beautiful...
"Eh? Xiao Dingding, why are you running..." Xia Chu saw Bian Ding beside him bounce away with a swish, and quickly called out: "Don't run around, oh, I just said he ate it." There are a lot of corpses, not to mention human corpses. Mosquitoes, rats and ants are also corpses. Don’t be afraid... "
Bian Ding paused for a moment, then turned to look at Xia Chu who was following him, his eyes filled with anger after being teased: "Master! Are you kidding me?"
…
The dots on the shoulders screamed "Creak, creak" happily. Xia Chu coughed lightly and said haha: "That's because you misunderstood me. How can you blame me, young master..."
As the dense forest goes deeper, the mountains are endless, and the scenery in the morning, noon and evening is also different. The exotic flowers and plants that bloom with the time are mesmerizing.
But in the past few days, Bian Ding no longer dared to mess around, and he was so arrogant and angry that he was unwilling to take the initiative to talk to Xia Chu.
But what should be served should be done properly and properly.
On the contrary, Xia Chu teased him from time to time. After leaving the dense forest, the two entered an inaccessible mountain range.
The terrain here is complex, with trees blocking out the sky and the sun, making it easy to get in and out.
The path in the mountains has twists and turns, making it difficult to tell the direction. Bian Ding and Xia Chu walked among them, and the sunlight shone from the branches and leaves, covering the ground with scattered gold and silver.
Just when Bian Ding couldn't tell the direction and was surrounded by all kinds of things, he secretly admired Xia Chu's ability to know the way. Xia Chu, who was leading the way, seemed to hear his voice and suddenly said jokingly: "Can't you find it?" Arrived north?"
Bian Ding rolled his eyes behind him and said nothing.
Xia Chu chuckled lightly and turned around to see him tilting his head arrogantly. He continued to lead the way and said, "I'll teach you a trick. Mountains to the south and water to the north are yang, mountains to the north and water to the south are yin. The side with lush branches and leaves is south, and the other side is yin. It’s just north.”
Bian Ding hummed twice, then pondered for a moment before suddenly speaking: "If the wild beasts in the mountains gnaw away the leaves on the lush side, will the result be the opposite?"
Xia Chu looked startled, twitched the corner of his mouth, slapped him on the shoulder, and said seriously with a solemn face: "Remember everything I taught you, just in case..."
Bian Ding looked absent-minded, but in fact he was listening carefully. Seeing his sudden pause, he wanted to urge him to continue, but then he thought about the meaning of what he just said, and the more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became.
Over the past few days, Xia Chu had been teaching him, consciously or unconsciously, how to survive in this dense forest, what he could eat and what he couldn't touch, and now he was telling him how to identify the direction...
"You should quickly stop thinking about letting me go out alone." Bian Ding had a bad premonition in his heart and his tone became serious.
…
An awkward smile appeared on Xia Chu's face, but she scolded him: "What are you thinking about? I just want you to learn more skills."
Bian Ding glanced at him suspiciously and muttered: "Unless I die, I will have to drag you back to Xiao Country."
Xia Chu pinched his brows, stopped talking, and just sighed quietly.
He was able to know the general direction of the Imperial Palace in the Western Regions, thanks to the intelligence collected by Xiao Mubai over the years, and in recent days, and Bingwen, who had obtained information from the people of the Western Regions who went to Jincheng to exchange herbs for supplies. Lots of latest news.
Along the way, no wonder Han Sa lamented to him that the Western Region could not be invaded.
Apart from him, there were probably only a handful of people who could enter the palace alive.
On this trip to the Western Regions, he did not come to chase the emperor's coffin, he just wanted to find out the truth.
Is the truth behind Lan Yuying's assassination of the emperor related to the emperor's poisoning
Whether it's for my mother, the emperor, or Lan Xilin on Zilan Mountain.
He brought Lan Yuying down the mountain, she couldn't just be taken away by Yue Feng for no apparent reason.
He always has to give himself an explanation, even if that explanation may be cruel, bloody, or unbearable to face.
But in this life, he didn't want to live in a muddle again.
But this is his personal grudge after all, and he doesn't want to be implicated and settles here.
Therefore, Xia Chu had been practicing Bian Ding's Qing Gong since he left Beijing, thinking that if there was an emergency, he would make sure that he could get out alive...
