In the dark forest, the branches and leaves of shrubs, flowers, and trees are all black.
It is said that this black vegetation has a disturbing effect on the spiritual consciousness of the practitioner. No matter how strong the cultivator enters the dark forest, his eyes will be blackened, just like a blind or deaf person.
Li Ji tried it with his spiritual sense, and sure enough, when he encountered vegetation in the forest, his spiritual sense collapsed into disarray, and he couldn't search for anything at all.
Fortunately, although the divine mind was also affected, it was able to go unimpeded.
Li Xu flew over the dark forest, and a simple wooden house appeared in the forest ahead.
An old man with hunched back and gray hair, leaning against the wooden slab wall, was closing his eyes and enjoying the rays of sunlight from the branches and leaves.
Li Ji put away his golden wings and floated down to the wooden house.
Walking towards the old man, he said politely: "Lao Zhang, I would like to ask you a way!"
The hunched old man didn't even open his eyes, and said lazily: "You go back!"
Li Jiqi said, "I just entered the forest, why did Mr. Zhang persuade me to go back?"
"Because it is not suitable for humans!"
"Since it is not suitable for human beings, who is the old man? Why does he live here?"
There is ridicule in the hunchbacked old man's voice: "I am a forest watcher, so naturally I want to live here!"
Li Ji was originally just asking for directions, but seeing that the old man was reluctant to say it, there was nothing he could do. After saying "Excuse me", he turned and walked towards the depths of the forest.
After traveling dozens of feet away, I suddenly saw a person sitting in the grass in front of him. Looking at his face, figure and clothes, it was the hunched old man just now.
Li Ji was shocked!
Along the way, his mind was fully open, and he was monitored all the space within a range of more than twenty feet. How could this person suddenly rush to the front without noticing it
Moreover, this person clearly has no cultivation skills!
Could this be an expert hermit? But even a strong man like Mu Wang Qubin can't hide his divine mind's inspection!
As Li Ji's eyes rolled, he immediately changed his strategy, stopped, and saluted the old man respectfully: "Dare to ask Lao Zhang Gao's name? Why is it blocking my way?"
The old man didn't answer, and sat motionless.
Li Ji smiled slightly: "It seems that Mr. Zhang has something to tell me, then I will go to the wooden house and wait for you!"
Before turning back to the wooden house, he took out the table and chairs from the storage bag, made two plates, and put in peanuts and preserved eggs. Take out a jar of Fenjiu, fill a glass, and put away the jar.
As soon as he raised his glass and drank himself, he saw the humpbacked old man rushing forward in a whirlwind, reaching out to grab the glass.
Li Ji sat still, backing quickly with a chair.
The hump-backed old man walked up and grabbed his hands one after another, but was carefully avoided by Li Ji.
The old man was quick and incoherent, with a bunch of phantoms hanging on it, coming first, going around behind Li Ji, blocking his way. Hug with one arm to prevent Li Ji from evading, and at the same time grabbing the glass with the other hand.
Li Ji raised his neck, drank half a glass of wine with a grunt, then licked on the rim of the glass. Smiled triumphantly at the old man. That means, if you have the ability, come and drink!
Unexpectedly, the old man chopped his hand and grabbed the cup, drank the remaining wine in the cup, still feeling that it was still not exhausted, and stuck out his tongue and licked the whole cup once.
He didn't care about Li Ji's strange gaze, and asked directly, "Is there any more?"
"Uh... Naturally, you can drink it if you like!"
As Li Ji said, he returned to the table with a chair, took out the wine jar, filled two glasses of wine, and before he had time to speak, the old man grabbed them one by one and drank the two glasses one after another.
He had to continue to pour the wine and smiled bitterly: "These two are for wine! Please taste it!" Then he pushed the drunkard peanuts and preserved eggs to the old man.
The old man squeezed two peanuts, frowned and chewed, bent over and smelled the preserved eggs, showing displeasure. With a flick of his fingers, he ejected the plate containing preserved eggs. Its strength is so fierce, if it weren't for Li Ji's timely move, this plate of preserved eggs would definitely fall to the ground.
This person is totally ignorant of etiquette!
Li Ji rolled his eyes, stopped his movements, and stopped pouring the wine: "Excuse me, Lao Zhang Gao's name..."
The old man interrupted his questioning directly: "Yuan Tai. Pour the wine... Pour the wine quickly, and be careful I beat you!"
After Li Ji prepared more than 30 threatening words, such as if you don't answer, I won't pour the wine, they were all blocked back, and it was really uncomfortable to say.
While pouring the wine, he continued to ask: "Old Yuan is a forest guard?"
Yuan Tai said angrily: "Nonsense..." He saw Li Ji stop pouring, and hurriedly put on a smile: "Yes, I am a forest guard!"
Li Ji filled the glass and handed it over respectfully.
Yuan Tai drank the wine, smacked his mouth, looked around, finally grabbed a few peanuts and chewed reluctantly.
People in this world may not be used to eating preserved eggs, but Yuan Tai is the first one who is not used to drinking and eating peanuts.
Li Ji thought for a while, and took out Xueyi's snacks from Yunxue Space, such as sandwich biscuits, potato chips, snow cakes and puffed food. Unexpectedly, Yuan Tai ate heartily and screamed.
These are things to coax children...
Li Ji gave a dry cough and asked, "I think this place is barren and yields little, so why does Yuan Lao make a living?"
Yuan Taika chuckled the potato chips and said vaguely: "You are wrong... The Dark Forest is so rich in native products, what is the difficulty of life?"
Li Ji blinked, "Oh, then please tell me, Yuan Lao!"
…
The two of them were drinking the mountain flowers, cup by cup and cup by cup.
But the wine, basically let this old man surnamed Yuan drink it.
With Li Jilian's touting and the encouragement of snacks, Yuan Tai talked endlessly, explaining a lot about the situation in the dark forest.
However, Li Ji knows very little about the Dark Forest, and the questions he can ask are extremely limited.
But he knew that this person was not talking nonsense, as long as he knew everything he knew.
Hearing a lot of the long past, Yuan Tai is treasured by many.
Li Ji couldn't help but wonder: "How long has Yuan Lao Shoulin?"
When Yuan Tai heard the words, he stopped the wine glass in his hand suddenly, his eyes were confused, and he said for a long time: "Maybe it's 537 years, or 864 years, or even 1,200 years, I can't remember. Cleared!"
Li Ji twitched the corner of his mouth and asked with a smile, "Even if I can't remember, it's a few years at most, how can it be so different?"
"I have amnesia!"
"..."
The light in Yuan Tai's eyes flickered, and it seemed to evoke memories that could not bear to look back: "A strong man who worshipped the Snow God Sect came to the Black Blood Forest and wanted to find some natural treasures, how can this be? Just a few words and just do it... It was really a dark battle!"
Li Ji's brows trembled, his heart beating quickly, and he felt his blood boil.
"Worship the Snow God Sect!"
He suddenly remembered the secret signal of the demon soldier of You Wuwei when he contacted Elder Yue:
"Rain Down the Mountain" "Show and Shen"
At that time, I guessed it was "snow" and "god". But never expected that it was the name of the demon sect.
Demon Sect, its full name is Snow God Sect!
Li Ji was sure that he had never heard the name.
But why is the blood almost boiling with excitement
He stroked it carefully, and was suddenly surprised to find that he didn't know when he actually became attached to the word "Snow".
The girlfriend who is not in love is called Xueyi.
The girl named Yun Xueyao who made her remember the blood lotus girl.
The birthplace after crossing is the Youxue Secret Realm.
The healing sacred object, the jade plate with the word snow.
Even the Xiaolou and Xueyi's rooms that I have lived in were like ghosts, named "Shanxue Pavilion" and "Yunxue Space"!
what happened
Just a coincidence
Or is there any secret in my heart that I didn't even know
