"This is Yin Zhu!"
Xiao Ting was shocked.
Of course it is not the kind known to the world, the bamboo that grows in the north of the mountain, let alone the one that makes musical instruments.
It is a bamboo that grows in extremely shady places, its color is dark green, and its leaves are like swords.
Tougher, but also softer.
It doesn't look much different from ordinary bamboo.
The difference is that in the eyes of Taoists, the aura it exudes is Yin.
Ordinary people don't notice anything, they only feel that it is a little cold to approach it.
The little boy was not curious when he saw those things, but his body shivered.
Xiao Ting asked him to go back to sleep first.
Only then did he go up to touch the Yinzhu fondly.
"It really is not an ordinary thing." The Ninth Prince said lightly.
Xiao Ting walked to the table, sat down on the other side, and pulled Yin Zhu closer.
He said happily, "Where did you get this? You look really good too."
The land of extreme yin is formed naturally, not acquired or man-made, so it is a very rare place with the land of extreme yang.
Yin bamboo must grow in such an environment.
Xiao Ting didn't expect that the Ninth Prince went out and found this kind of thing.
"Today, I took the time to look around and found it on the south side of the town."
The Ninth Prince said lightly, obviously he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it
"What? It's near here, wow, that's great, can you take me to see it?"
Xiao Ting was very excited, and originally planned to use the method of raising ghosts to suppress the balance in the Ninth Prince's body.
But doing that was not out of her heart after all.
"It's getting late, let's go tomorrow!"
But where can Xiao Ting sleep
This kind of thing is hard to come by, and there are too many things that can be done.
Seeing her happy, the Ninth Prince didn't say much. He also had feelings for that place.
"No, go now. There must be something wrong with this place. Even if there are ghosts, this girl is not afraid. You forgot, I am a master ghost hunter."
Xiao Ting was very arrogant, and raised her voice, her little face was both excited and nervous.
"Are you not afraid of death?" Obviously that is not a good place.
Xiao Ting said very naturally: "Isn't there still you?"
"With you here, what am I afraid of?"
In terms of martial arts, the Ninth Prince is already proud of the world, and she is not bad when it comes to spiritual skills, which is very rare at this age, and she is no match for ordinary ghosts.
The Ninth Prince's mind moved slightly, but he still didn't want to go now.
"Go again tomorrow."
"No." Xiao Ting directly refused, saying that she should go now.
Ninth Prince asked her why.
Xiao Ting was very happy, "Did you know that this kind of yin bamboo only grows in extremely yin places, if you are lucky, if you can dig the source of yin, then you will be saved."
The more Xiao Ting thought about it, the more excited she became. The so-called source of extreme yin is one thing, it has no specific form, and it was only mentioned by her master.
This kind of thing may not be found in several lifetimes.
"If you can find the source of extreme yin, you can immediately break the balance of yin and yang in your body, and stop growing."
In this way, he will not change too quickly, leaving more time for her.
Ninth Prince's beautiful eyes blinked.
"You are for this king?" His voice was like the wind in April, very gentle, never before.
Xiao Ting rolled her eyes at him, "Of course, otherwise, why would I go to that ghostly place?" The master once mentioned that there are two places in this world that you can't just enter, one is extremely yin and the other is extremely yang.
They are the veins of this continent, they are extremely difficult to find, and they are also extremely dangerous. If you don't pay attention, you will die, especially for spiritualists and witches who are different from ordinary people.
That's forbidden!
"Go again tomorrow, that place is very evil."
Xiao Ting said it clearly, but the Ninth Prince still frowned and directly refused.
Xiao Ting groaned and groaned for a long time, seeing that he disagreed with life and death, she slapped the table and stood up.
"Two choices, either you go with me, or I go secretly by myself."
"If you dare to touch my acupuncture points and restrict my freedom, this girl will part ways with you tomorrow morning."
Isn't it the bamboo forest? She can find it herself.
Xiao Ting directly blocked all the back roads of the Ninth Prince.
Ninth Prince was a little speechless, this girl is really a roundworm in his stomach.
In the end, he had no choice but to agree to take her there. At this time, the little boy stuck out his head and wanted to go with them.
It is naturally impossible for Xiao Ting to let him go, but the little boy is very clever.
"Big brother, little sister, I have been to that bamboo forest before, and it can eat people. One of my little friends went in and never came out again."
Xiao Ting frightened him, "I know that I can eat people, so I still follow them. They specialize in eating children, don't you know?"
"Father and mother are gone. I also want to go and see if they were eaten by the bamboo forest. Take me there."
However, no matter what the little boy said, it was impossible for Xiao Ting to take him there.
But I don't know what kind of madness the Ninth Prince went, and he agreed to take him with him.
The two whispered a lot of things, and the little boy kept nodding.
The three of them didn't turn on the lights, the moonlight was very bright, and the whole town was quiet and serene.
But that feeling of oppression filled everyone's hearts all the time.
Although the little boy was afraid, he timidly hid behind the Ninth Prince and tugged at his sleeve, but he still insisted.
To Xiao Ting's surprise, the Ninth Prince did not dislike her.
So she also reached out and grabbed the sleeve of the Ninth Prince. The Ninth Prince looked down at her and asked her with his eyes.
"I'm scared too."
Obviously she is the wife of the Ninth Prince, so it's fine if he doesn't feel sorry for her, but he actually loves this little one.
The little boy was only seven or eight years old, a little older than Xiao Xin and the others.
But he is very sensible, not the feeling of being young and mature, but that he knows a lot of things, but he is very good at crying.
In the past two years, Xiao Xin and Chu Yun hardly cried anymore, after all, they had grown up.
Three miles away, they arrived in a quarter of an hour.
The bamboo forest in front of you is endless.
I don't know how long it is.
When the evening wind blows, the bamboo leaves rustle.
Accompanied by an unspeakable fragrance, it blows into people's noses.
Xiao Ting frowned, "Why is there a scent?"
Yin bamboo is colorless and odorless.
Ninth Prince also frowned.
"Not when the day came."
Now that he's here, he won't just go back like this, and the little boy has been here before and walked out safely.
The Ninth Prince led the two of them to be careful, and then led them into the bamboo forest.
He had already probed it during the day, so he knew where to go and where to go.
But what surprised him was that after only ten steps, the surrounding scene changed drastically in an instant.
The white snow covered Maekawa, and the dazzling light made them close their eyes collectively.
When Xiao Ting opened her eyes, she saw that she seemed to be on top of a snow mountain.
She was dumbfounded, what's going on
"Chu Li, Chu Li, where are you?"
She shouted loudly, over and over again, but at a glance, it was all extremely white, and there was no trace of that green bamboo at all.
She didn't know how long she shouted, but she felt that her throat was getting a little hot, so she grabbed the snow under her feet and rubbed it, it was real snow.
Even if she had never experienced such a thing, she knew that she was caught in a formation at the moment.
And this kind of formation is to create some kind of wrong illusion by confusing people's six senses.
But the hands are really cold. After the ice and snow melted, the water in the palm of the hand was so obvious. She touched the wet feeling with the other hand, so she couldn't feel that it was fake at all.
Her throat hurt like a fire, she wanted to drink the snow water in her hand, it would make her feel better.
But when she thought that it might be a dead leaf outside, or a lump of poop, she didn't even want to drink it.
The Ninth Prince said that this place is just a bamboo forest.
She really didn't know what to do, no wonder, the little boy said that the bamboo forest here can eat people.
At the foot of the mountain is a glacier that can't be seen, Xiao Ting has no choice but to climb to the top of the snow-capped mountain.
It's just that he was attracted by an ice door just after arriving halfway up the mountain.
It is said to be ice door because it looks transparent.
In the white snow, it is very conspicuous. There is a platform extending from the bottom of it, so Xiao Ting didn't see it when she was down the mountain.
Without any accidents, she walked directly to the front, and the ice door seemed to feel like it opened upwards, revealing an ice hole.
Xiao Ting was speechless, looked around and said, "What the hell kind of place is it?"
But she has a big heart, and she lived in the barren mountains for a long time before, so she strode in.
It's not a dark hole, it's all white inside, and I don't know what kind of light to use, so I can see the road vaguely turning a few turns and coming to the end.
This is a spacious stone temple.
"You came."
Miss Xiao Liu, who usually did not change her expression when Mount Tai collapsed in front of her, immediately jumped up when she heard these three words.
"Master..."
She looked forward in shock, and there was a man standing on a lotus platform.
A set of robes in the style of the Republic of China was worn on him, and there was a smell of bones and immortals.
He turned his back to Xiao Ting, but the familiar back, as well as the deep voice, reminded Xiao Ting that this was the person she knew.
Her previous master, the one who raised her.
The one who's been dead for years, man.
Hearing Xiao Ting's call, the man really turned around.
"Master, it's really you, why are you here?"
He has the most peaceful face in the world, and the most compassionate eyes in the world, but at this moment, those eyes are full of compassion and deep and shallow helplessness.
Xiao Ting couldn't believe what she saw. Her master had been lost for many years, and he was not in the same time and space. How did he come here? Everything was full of puzzles.
After coming here, she also met the master, but it was in a dream, not in reality, but this time she saw him again, but he appeared in front of her alive.
She was sure that she was not in a dream this time, but broke into some kind of formation.
"Master is waiting for you."
The man smiled gently, with a sense of immortality.
Taoism follows nature, making his ordinary face look so different.
"Master..."
