The night is windy and the moon is shining high.

The moonlight is very good tonight, and the rays of light shine on the prince's mansion, as if it is covered with a virtual veil, and it is as beautiful as a fairyland on earth.

Two figures were sneaking out of the prince's mansion without anyone noticing.

Both of them were dressed in night clothes, covering them from head to toe, with only one face exposed. Gu Liuxi also deliberately changed her large double eyelids into single eyelids to prevent anyone from recognizing her.

Their goal is exactly the mountain behind the General's Mansion.

The mountains behind the General's Mansion are surrounded by a large deep forest. It is very difficult and almost impossible to go up the mountain from other places. The General's Mansion is the shortcut.

No one knows why the General's Mansion is located in such a peripheral place in Cangdu. They only know that it has been there since they knew about the existence of the General's Mansion. No one knows why.

For thousands of years, the General's Mansion has been at this place.

If Gu Liuxi and the others want to go to the back mountain, they must enter the general's mansion.

The General's Mansion is heavily guarded and has many skilled guards. It's not just anyone who says he can come in.

Although Gu Liuxi's time in the General's Mansion was not long, he still basically remembered the places he visited.

She quietly sneaked into the General's Mansion with Chi Heng, hiding behind the big tree in the backyard. There seemed to be more guards in the General's Mansion, almost twice as many as before she left. Maybe it was because of what happened to Gu Xiyan, the General

There have never been fewer guards in the mansion.

The previous guards would not appear in this place. Unexpectedly, even this place is patrolled now.

It seems that the General's Mansion does have some ulterior secrets.

She didn't know what the secret was, but she was certain that there must be an unknown secret hidden behind the General's Mansion.

Why do giant man-eating snakes appear in the back mountains? Why do fierce lonely ghosts and that strange man appear in the back mountains?

All the secrets are in the back mountain, so the back mountain is the only place where the evidence can be found.

There were too many guards and they couldn't get in at all.

Gu Liuxi and Chi Heng hid behind a big tree and waited for a long time. There was a group of people guarding the entrance to the back mountain, and patrols were constantly patrolling everywhere, making it difficult to fly in.

There is no way they can continue like this.

Chi Heng Shuixie said that he would divert the attention of those people and let Gu Liuxi sneak in first.

Gu Liuxi knew that she did not understand martial arts. She knew that he would harm Chi Heng, so she did not refute his words. Instead, she thought it was a good strategy.

While the patrol was passing by, Chi Heng showed up and lured away the guards guarding the entrance. Gu Liuxi was waiting for an opportunity to go in. After Chi Heng lured the people away, he would go in and join her as soon as possible.

When the countermeasures were discussed, Chi Heng went out and flashed in front of the guards. Sure enough, the guards chased after him.

Gu Liuxi took advantage of the moment when the guards were chasing Chi Heng and saw the right opportunity to enter the back mountain.

Maybe it was because the moon was too bright tonight, so she quickly found the entrance to the back mountain.

Although there is moonlight, it still makes people feel a bit gloomy.

Gu Liuxi bravely walked inside, and found that dense bamboo forest again. The bamboo leaves rustled in the wind, like people screaming.

Gu Liuxi trembled, swallowed, and slowly walked inside.

This place is like a maze.

It was here that she met the big and small ghosts.

Thinking of the twin ghosts, Gu Liuxi felt a chill on her neck. For some reason, she felt that coming in this time was different from the last time Gu Xiyan came in, but she couldn't tell what was different.

It feels very quiet here, like the calm before the storm.

It made people feel very uneasy. From the first step here, she felt a sense of fear for some reason. That fear came from the fear in her heart. She always felt that there was something here that made her feel scared.

.

Click——

He stepped on a bamboo pole and broke it in half.

"You're finally here..."

A voice that seemed to come from a demon from hell suddenly sounded in Gu Liuxi's ears. The voice was low and cold, making people feel chilled in their hearts for no reason.

"Who... who's here?"

Gu Liuxi quickly looked around, using the moonlight cast from above her head, but could not see a single figure, but the voice kept echoing in her ears, as if she was right next to her, but also seemed very far away.

"You're finally here..."

That voice kept echoing.

Gu Liuxi was originally timid. She was alone in such a gloomy place. If it weren't for Gu Xiyan, she would have turned around early in the morning and refused to come back to this place even if she died. Even if there was a big secret here, she didn't want to explore it.

I don’t want to know anymore.

She just wants to leave here safely and return to the world that belongs to her.

This place is too dangerous, and she wants to return to Earth as soon as possible.

When she thought of completing her mission and going home, Gu Liuxi summoned up all her courage in an instant and shouted majestically to the people around her, "Who on earth is pretending to be a ghost? Come out to my aunt if you have the guts."

He decided to stay for three to five days, but he still didn't dare to pretend to be a ghost in front of her.

The wind rustled, but the sound suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

It was quiet and there was nothing around.

Gu Liuxi heard her own heartbeat, thumping thumpingly.

"Xiaoxi..."

A hand suddenly touched Gu Liuxi's shoulder.

Gu Liuxi cast a restraining spell on him instead, and Chi Heng kept extending his hand.

Gu Liuxi turned around and saw that it was Chi Heng. She was so nervous just now that she didn't see clearly who came and cast the immobilizing spell under counter-conditions.

"Chizi, how could it be you? It scared me to death."

Gu Liuxi patted her chest in shock.

Chi Heng blinked and wanted to move but found that his body couldn't move at all. He couldn't help but said, "What did you do to me? Why can't I move?"

"untie…"

Gu Liuxi recited the solution spell to Chi Heng, and Chi Heng slowly moved his body.

"Xiaoxi, you..."

"Don't ask this now. I'll explain it to you later, okay? Let's go and find out if there are any traces of Gu Xiyan..." It's not that Gu Liuxi doesn't want to explain, it's just that it's troublesome to explain, so he needs to do business first.

.

"good…"

Chi Heng knew that this was an extraordinary period and did not force Gu Liuxi.

Because he always believed in her, inexplicably believed in her.

Not only because she is his savior, but because she possesses an unconditionally convincing charm that makes people unable to help but believe in her, rely on her, and trust her.

The two walked deep into the bamboo forest and came to the place where she met the giant snake and Gu Yanshi.

Tonight, there was no fog, but Gu Liuxi remembered this place very well, because she had no chance to see anything at that time. The fog was too heavy, and she followed the sound of the giant snake dragging in the distance.

Because she couldn't see at that time, her hearing and surrounding perception were particularly sensitive. She still vaguely remembered the traces of the place she had explored, and this was the right place.

She also noticed that Gu Xiyan was missing before she came here. She followed Gu Yanshi to the cave.

Gu Yanshi came out of the cave in the middle, which means that Gu Yanshi's motive was probably at that time.

According to his memory, Gu Liuxi still found the cave. There was a skeleton of a giant snake in the cave. After several months, the body of the giant snake had decayed, leaving only a skeleton. When the weak light shone in, it looked a bit sinister.

deep.

Thinking of the time she drank the blood of this giant snake, Gu Liuxi felt nauseated and wanted to vomit. If it wasn't an emergency, she wouldn't drink its blood!

Gu Liuxi walked along the way and told Chi Heng everything he encountered at that time.

The two of them entered the cave. The cave was not very big, but the skeleton was particularly eye-catching.

Chi Heng saw a huge skeleton and immediately stepped forward. He was from the snake tribe, so he was naturally very familiar with the smell of snakes. Even if it was a dead snake, the smell of snakes could not be changed.

He stepped forward, squatted in front of the skeleton, stretched out his hand and touched it, and then he was suddenly startled.

This giant snake is actually a spiritual snake.

The spirit snake is a kind of snake that can help the cultivation of living beings.

An ordinary spiritual snake can not only absorb the essence of the sun and moon, but its blood also has the effect of being immune to all poisons and extending life.

This kind of spiritual snake is a very rare species, with almost no more than ten in the world.

As for the spiritual snake in front of you, you can tell at a glance that it has been practicing for more than a hundred years. It is really a pity and a waste to die in this place.

But, having said that, why would someone raise a spirit snake here, and who killed the spirit snake?

Gu Liuxi frowned when she saw that Chi Heng not only caressed the skeleton of a snake with his hands, but also showed a look of pity, "Chizi, what are you looking at? A dead snake, what's so good about it?"

Chi Heng retracted his hand and shook his head, "Do you know what kind of snake this is?"

Gu Liuxi shook her head, wasn't it just a big black snake? However, she really didn't know what this kind of snake was called.

Chi Heng began to explain, "This is a spiritual snake. If some creatures or souls want to cultivate a human body, relying on the spiritual snake is a shortcut, because this spiritual snake can absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, which is very helpful for cultivation."

, However, this kind of snake is very rare. I didn’t expect that someone would raise this kind of snake here. It means that someone or a monster is practicing magic... Do you still remember the monster who wanted to kill you in the prison? "

Thinking of the fox demon who attacked Gu Liuxi in prison, it further confirmed his analysis.

Gu Liuxi nodded, of course she remembered, that time was still fresh in her memory, how could she forget it!

Chi Heng turned to look in the direction of Gu Liuxi, with a shining light in his eyes, "If I guess correctly, she should be practicing magic..."
