Commander's Destiny

Chapter 23 Cherry Blossom Lakeside
I saw Jiang Qianfeng stopped in the bright place, motionless as if petrified, and when the two of them also came to the exit, they were shocked by the scene before them, speechless in a daze.

What catches the eye is a fairly open valley and woodland, where the mountains are high and the valley is deep. Looking up, it is surrounded by three mountains. The sound of the turbulent waterfall in the ears seems to be telling the moving legend here. Close your eyes, there are many springs and waterfalls in the nearby mountains and rocks, and the bushes and weeds are overgrown on the mounds at your feet. It seems that there is no way to reach the stream. side.

"Couldn't this be a barren valley? It looks inaccessible. I thought I would go underground, but I didn't expect to come to the bottom of the valley." Although Yao Jingli was also intoxicated by the scenery in front of him, he felt that there was no Wei Jin tomb that he was looking for. , There is not even a shadow of a building, and I can't help feeling depressed again.

Bai Wuyan quickly comforted her and said: "Don't worry, it's so big here, let's look for it, maybe it's hidden in this deep forest, or in some cave, let's walk along the stream first, and see if we can Find a place to rest for a while, and feel that the sun will soon set as soon as the clouds clear."

"Master Bai, can you get some wild game to eat? I'm hungry." Jiang Qianfeng was really getting hungry when he was growing up, and he couldn't help but think about eating.

"Well, yes, I don't dare to say anything else. Seeing the streams converging here, it will be no problem to catch a few fish and grill them." Finally walking out of the dark valley cave, Bai Wuyan's mood seemed to be the same as that of the forest. The sun in the room brightened up.The group of people revived their spirits again, overcame thorns and thorns all the way, and walked up the stream.

Along the way, Bai Wuyan was pleasantly surprised to find that all the streams converged in the same direction, the center of this deep valley, so he guessed: "There may be a lake in the center of this valley, maybe it will be a mountain full of water. There is no way, there is another village where the willows are dark and the flowers are bright."

"I don't think there can be any hidden villages in this deep valley. In that case, there must be other entrances and exits in this valley. The way we came is simply too strange. It doesn't look like many people often come and go. It's like a reclusive expert did it deliberately." Yao Jingli suddenly became more serious, and couldn't agree with Bai Wuyan's optimistic attitude.

Bai Wuyan insisted on his guess, and said uncompromisingly: "I don't think this valley is necessarily related to the cave inside, maybe there are two groups of people, but they just happened to be here. , let’s go, let’s go and have a look first.”

As everyone gradually went deeper into the valley, the scene in front of them gradually changed.

The surrounding pine and fir trees are becoming shorter and shorter, and the branches are not as thick as those under the cliff before. Some of the pine trees and yews that have not grown very tall are obviously grown in different ages.Walking further into the valley, we entered a camphor forest. This forest looked more orderly, and the tree species were not as messy as before. It seemed to be artificially planted.

Passing through the camphor forest, a large sea of ​​pink flowers suddenly caught everyone's eyes. If you look carefully, they are all cherry blossom trees.I don't know if it's because of the different varieties or the pleasant climate here, but these brilliant cherry blossoms that should have bloomed in spring are actually blooming leisurely in this autumn valley.

"Look, it's so beautiful here!" Girls just couldn't resist the temptation of these pinks. Yao Jingli had already rushed into the ocean of cherry blossom trees, wandering in this natural beauty and couldn't extricate herself.

"Yeah, such a large cherry blossom forest is obviously planted by humans. Many people must have lived here. Let's go ahead and take a look!" Bai Wuyan responded, but his perspective and focus were obviously different.

They are really two incomprehensible fools, they can't wait for themselves, stay for a while, Yao Jingli thought in his heart, but seeing the two people walking farther and farther, he had no choice but to leave the sea of ​​cherry blossom trees reluctantly and reluctantly. up.

When the cherry blossom trees were left behind, the two people in front of Yao Jingli stopped slowly. Unexpectedly, there was a large lake in the low-lying valley. gathered here.

The other side of the lake seems to be a circular peninsula, on which there are faintly visible outlines that resemble buildings.

Seeing traces of settlements in villages, Bai Wuyan couldn't help turning around, raised his eyebrows and showed off loudly to Yao Jingli: "How about it, lakes, villages, let me guess right."

Yao Jingli saw that Bai Wuyan was such a big man, but he was still as proud as a child who won a bet, he laughed, and echoed: "Brother Bai is the best, let's go, let's go around this lake, Go to the other side of the lake and take a look."

They walked along the shore of the lake beside the cherry blossom forest, only to realize that the location they were just now was in the middle of the forest, the place farthest from the opposite shore.I don't know whether it is a man-made construction or a supernatural workmanship of nature. The peninsula on the opposite bank and the cherry blossom embankment here unexpectedly enclose this lake in the shape of a crescent moon.Although there are so many mountain springs and streams flowing into this lake, the sparkling lake looks as calm as a mirror silver plate.

Bai Wuyan observed for a while, and said to everyone: "Look, the surface of this lake is so calm, and there are no other rivers flowing from the lake around the lake, but when we came, we saw so many streams flowing in here. With so much mountain spring water, even if it evaporates day and night, it will never be consumed, and it is absolutely impossible to keep the lake at its current height."

"Master Bai, where did all the water you said go?" Bai Wuyan's discovery aroused Jiang Qianfeng's curiosity again.

But Yao Jingli has her own thinking, she analyzed: "Maybe there is an undercurrent at the bottom of the lake, and there are other waterways leading to other places, should we go down and explore?"
