Master Emperor, your wife is too poisonous

Chapter 257
The light of the torch and the sound of their footsteps woke the birds in the trees.

Hundreds of birds flapped their wings and flew towards the sky at the same time, and the sound of flapping wings and birdsong mixed together, resounding throughout the valley.

The full moon hung high in the air, and the silvery moonlight poured down, covering the entire valley with a faint halo.

Ye Lingxi stood on the stone platform outside the entrance of the cave, looking down at the valley below, feeling like she had returned to her previous life.

"It hasn't changed." She glanced around carefully, and her eyes lit up, "Everything that should be there is still there! It seems that no one has come in this place for so many years."

On the wide stone platform under her feet, she can still vaguely see the marks left by her carvings on the ground.

The edge of the stone platform was originally made by her into a small flower garden, which was filled with various flowers. Now the soil and rocks on the edge of the flower garden have been worn away by wind and rain, but the flowers are still tenaciously alive.

Several of the flowers have already formed buds, and the gorgeous buds are swaying in the night wind, with a burst of dark fragrance surging.

"Has anyone ever lived here?"

Helian Mingye at the side suddenly made a sound.

Seeing that he was staring at the side, Ye Lingxi turned her head and followed his gaze, and saw the tree house on the tall old tree next to her at a glance.

A small house was built among the branches of an old tree. It seemed that no one had lived in it for a long time. The house was tightly surrounded by branches and vines.

The original outlines of the door and windows still remain, making it vaguely recognizable as a house.

The tree house was built by herself back then, and now it looks like it is obviously uninhabitable.

A look of nostalgia flashed across Ye Lingxi's eyes, and she sighed lightly: "It's not easy to build a house, so it's a pity that it's just ruined like this."

"But there is nothing particularly valuable in that room, so don't worry too much about it."

"The most important thing is the following..."

She walked to the edge of the stone platform, squinted her eyes and looked carefully at the situation in the valley below, trying to see clearly what was going on with the medicine field she cultivated back then.

Helian Mingye didn't know what she was thinking, seeing her walk to the edge of the stone platform, he also walked over to look down, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you want to go directly down from here?"

From this stone platform directly down to the bottom of the valley, the drop is not too low.

Ye Lingxi brought a rope, but she had already used that rope when she went down the cliff just now, and it is still hanging outside the cave.

Then she wants to go down now...

The hands that the two held together hadn't let go yet, Helian Mingye's eyes turned from the hands they held to Ye Lingxi's slender waist, his eyes were slightly hot, and his voice was faintly tingly. tight.

"Isn't your qinggong not very good? If you want to go on, I..."

"found it!"

He had just finished speaking halfway, when Ye Lingxi suddenly let out a low cry of excitement.

Helian Mingye was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, Ye Lingxi had already shaken off his hand and walked to the other end of the stone platform in a few steps.

The palm suddenly emptied, and Helian Mingye couldn't help but frowned slightly, "Aren't you going to the valley below?"

"That's right." While Ye Lingxi replied to his words, she raised her hand and patted the nearby mountain wall several times.

Helian Mingye vaguely saw that there seemed to be some regularity in the position of her flapping. Before he could ponder it carefully, he heard a low-pitched boom, and the entire mountain wall seemed to vibrate slightly.

When the sound and vibration stopped, Ye Lingxi jumped off the stone platform first, and before she acted, she turned her head and greeted him, "Come quickly, follow me down!"

Helian Mingye walked quickly to the place where she was standing just now, looked down, and saw stone steps extending from the mountain wall, going down step by step, all the way to the bottom of the valley.

Ye Lingxi was stepping down the stone steps at the moment, because the gap between the stone steps was not too big, even if she had a mediocre lightness skill, she could still walk on the stone steps like flying at the moment.

There is no need for such a thing to exist.

Helian Mingye stared at the mountain wall next to which seemed to be hiding a mechanism, there was an icy chill in his brows and eyes, and his fists were already clenched secretly, when Ye Lingxi suddenly yelled again from below, "You What are you in a daze for?"

She had almost reached the bottom of the valley, and seeing that Helian Mingye was still standing there, she raised her voice and urged, "Come down quickly, I still need your help!"

Helian Mingye closed his eyes to suppress the darkness in his eyes, responded with a cry, and flew down the stone platform.

Ye Lingxi set her sights on the target from the beginning, and went straight to her destination when she reached the bottom of the valley.

When Helian Mingye reached the bottom of the valley, he saw Ye Lingxi standing in a field of flowers.

He had never seen that flower before. Each flower was as big as the mouth of a bowl when it bloomed. The petals were translucent silver. From a distance, it looked like a piece of silver moonlight, shining brightly and dazzlingly. .

When Helian Mingye looked over, Ye Lingxi happened to bend down and twirl a flower to her nose to smell it.

The silver flowers with fluorescent light set off against Ye Lingxi's fair side face and bright red and moist lips, giving her a shocking beauty.

Helian Mingye looked at her in rapt attention, and subconsciously walked towards her, without paying attention to the path under his feet, his foot happened to step on a dead branch.

With a "click", the dead branch snapped off.

Ye Lingxi heard the sound and followed the sound, and saw that he was coming, her eyes lit up, she hurriedly beckoned him to go, "Come on, come here quickly!"

Helian Mingye walked over at a faster pace, and as soon as he stood beside her, Ye Lingxi immediately handed the torch he was holding to him, "Help me hold the torch."

After she said this, she put the rucksack on the ground, took out a box made of cold jade and a small flower scissors from it, walked quickly to the flower field, picked up the scissors, and cut five times The bright blooming flowers were cut off completely.

Her movements were so fast that Helian Mingye didn't have time to stop her.

When he came back to his senses, there was only a bare flower branch left in front of him.

"These flowers..."

Seeing Ye Lingxi happily put all the cut flowers into the cold jade box, the corners of Helian Mingye's eyes twitched slightly, "Aren't they still blooming well? Why suddenly..."

"This is Yinyuetan," Ye Lingxi explained to Helian Mingye as she put the collected flowers into her backpack.

"The flowering period of this flower is extremely short, and it will wither in less than an hour after it blooms. Once the flowers wither, the medicinal effect will be gone. Of course, I must hurry up and pick them all while the medicinal effect is still there, otherwise it will not be good. Is it wasted?"

Helian Mingye couldn't help laughing, and after a moment's pause, he said helplessly, "Actually, these flowers are quite beautiful, I keep a few of them..."

"What's the use of looking good?" Ye Lingxi looked disgusted, "Easy to use is the kingly way!"

After saying this, without waiting for Helian Mingye to say anything more, she picked up her backpack and rushed towards another herb not far away.
