Xiaohong seemed to feel something, raised her eyes and looked at Luo Xiaoyu. Seeing that his expression was wrong, she followed his eyes. Although she had not seen the scene in the room clearly, she could guess a few points.

She sighed softly and whispered: "Brother Xiaoyu, don't take it to your heart, just have a clear conscience."

Luo Xiaoyu took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, nodded slightly, and continued her work, but the action of chopping wood was more forceful than before, and every move seemed to vent her anger in her heart.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, the Taoist boys began to increase their efforts to let the two of them do more work.

Both of them were exhausted.

In the evening, Luo Xiaoyu came to Xiaohong's room to complain.

"They are becoming more and more lawless, it's so outrageous! We are the Prime Minister's people. Aren't they afraid of the Prime Minister's punishment?"

"Let's just bear with it. Maybe the two old Taoists will do it after they come out of seclusion."

"Honest? Then when will you endure?" Luo Xiaoyu said angrily.

Xiaohong sighed and said nothing.

Luo Xiaoyu said: "You have to tell the two Taoist priests about this matter. It's better for me to go to their retreat to find them."

Xiaohong shook her head.

"There must be someone guarding it there, and you probably won't see it either."

Luo Xiaoyu was helpless again. He returned to his room angrily.

It doesn’t matter to me, the key is that Xiaohong has to suffer with him, which makes him particularly sad.

On the other side, Xi Yu was looking for herbs, and was trembling with coldness.

Every step I take is particularly difficult, and I have also experienced the upside-down.

At this time, a voice shouted from afar.

"There is danger there, who are you?"

Xi Yu looked at the sound and seemed to be a hunter in the distance.

He waved his hand and said that the other party would not care about him.

He continued to turn and walked forward, and the hunter in the distance shook his head.

Who is he who doesn't listen to advice?

Xi Yu endured the pain and continued to walk forward, and finally saw many unknown grasses.

He thought, maybe there were really herbs he was looking for.

If that's the case, it's worth it.

Suddenly, Xi Yu screamed.

It turned out that my feet were empty. Although they looked flat, I still fell into it very quickly.

The void under your feet was very large, and Xi Yu kept sinking downwards.

Before he knew it, Xi Yu actually came to a cave. When he landed, his body fell heavily on the ground.

However, it is much warmer here.

But he felt a little depressed. Although it was warm, it was not what he needed.

"Who is here?" Suddenly a voice appeared.

At this time, a figure appeared and appeared from a hole. Xi Yu saw clearly that it was an old man.

Xi Yu didn't expect that there was actually someone here.

"Old man, who are you?"

The old man looked at him coldly.

"I should ask you, who are you and why you are here?"

"I'm here to ask for medicine."

The old man walked towards Xi Yu, kept looking at him coldly, and then said, "Are you not lying?"

“It’s true.”

The old man said that this mountain is called Laojun Mountain. He has always guarded it.

Then, the old man's eyes were sharp.

"You really didn't lie? I don't believe it."

"So what herbs are you looking for?"

Xi Yu then took out the herbs that Song Shuwen painted for him.

The old man took it, but he didn't believe it.

"I think you kid has a special purpose and deliberately prepare this in advance to make me pity you?"

Xi Yu was a little angry, but he was unwilling to say anything more.

At this moment, Xi Yu really had only one person, and the secret guard had been sent away by himself.

It turned out that when he came to the extremely cold place, Xi Yu asked the secret guard not to follow him.

The secret guards immediately appeared and expressed their desire to accompany the Prime Minister at all times to avoid any accidents.

"Don't follow me, after all, it's very cold. Besides, there are no people in such places, so safety issues are guaranteed."

"But Prime Minister, our responsibilities..."

"Don't say anything, this is an order. If anyone doesn't listen, I will be punished."

In desperation, the secret guards had to wait for Xi Yu on the spot.

So, Xi Yu came here alone.

"Old man, why don't you believe me?" Xi Yu asked the old man.

"By my feeling, but since I have come, even if I haven't stolen anything, you can't leave."

The old man's figure flashed, as fast as a ghost. Xi Yu felt a flash in front of him, and his wrist was locked firmly by an iron clamp hand.

He struggled subconsciously, but the old man's hand was extremely powerful and he couldn't move at all.

Before Xi Yu could scream, the old man lightly tapped his toes and walked with him like a wind, instantly rushing to a dark room deep in the cave.

Xi Yu was thrown to the ground hard, causing him to groan.

He forced himself to stand up and looked around. The room was dark and damp, filled with an old and decay smell.

There are several hanging pictures of the year and month hanging on the wall, which are like martial arts secrets, or some kind of mysterious formation.

"You...what are you going to do?" Xi Yu glared at him, and he complained secretly in his heart.

The old man snorted coldly.

"What are you doing? You little doll is sneaky and have unknown origin."

"Old man, I'm really just trying to save someone's life, and I have no ill intentions!"

The old man was unmoved, and he walked around the house with his hands behind his back.

"Hmph, let your tongue be so clever and not figure it out, I will never believe you."

Seeing that the old man was unmoved, Xi Yu was anxious, but he knew that he could no longer anger the other party, so he had to patiently say: "Old man, I understand that you are cautious, but my friend really can't stand it. You can do it. If this herb is sure that there is no such medicine, I will leave immediately, and I will never leave much, and I will not cause trouble for you."

When the old man heard this, his eyes flashed with a fierce light. He stepped forward and almost poked Xi Yu's chest. He said viciously: "You are a very suspicious person now. Stay here honestly! Don't mention whether you are leaving or not. Wait until I find out your details. If you dare to be foolish, you will be more beautiful!"

Xi Yu was so scared by this sudden action that he took a step back, and his back hit the stone wall, causing pain.

He knew that the argument was useless at this moment, so he could only nod in silence.

Seeing that he was giving in, the old man snorted coldly, turned around and walked back and forth in the house, and glanced at Yu from time to time.

Xi Yu calmed down and glanced at some dry herbs hanging on the wall. He felt aroused in his heart and asked, "Old man, you are guarding this Laojun Mountain and your knowledge is extraordinary. Are these herbs also of great use?"

He tried to start with herbs, talk to the old man, slowly resolve the other party's hostility, and find an opportunity to get life-saving herbs.

The old man stopped, glanced at the herbs on the wall, and hummed in response, but his expression eased a little, and he said, "That's natural. Every grass and every tree in the mountain has spirituality, and you can see through it easily."

When Xi Yu heard this, his heart suddenly became angry. He straightened his back and said coldly: "Old man, do you know who I am? Are you not afraid of settlement in the future when you treat me so rudely today?"

But the old man seemed to hear some joke, and he raised his head and laughed loudly. After laughing, his eyes were full of mockery.

"I am the god in this Laojun Mountain! Even if the emperor comes in person and violates my taboo, I will still be able to covet my treasures in the mountain!"

After saying that, the old man hugged his chest with his hands and stared at Xi Yu, his eyes as if he was saying, "If you have the ability, use it."

Xi Yu gritted his teeth and thought to himself that if he attacked for a strong attack, not to mention that the old man had great martial arts skills, just about the terrain, he would probably be difficult to get out of the place where he was not familiar with the place. He would completely anger the old man and cut off his way to get medicine.

For a moment, the two of them were in a stalemate, and the air was filled with the strong smell of gunpowder.

At this time, Xi Yu began to regret it. He had known that the secret guards should have followed him.

He secretly blamed himself, saying that his original intention was not to let his subordinates suffer in this extremely cold place, but he did not expect to fall into such a difficult dilemma.

Now facing this stubborn old man alone, there is not even a person to inform him.
