Chapter 7 The Way of Thorns
The white mist slowly dissipated, and there was a burst of birdsong all around. Compared with the Yunwu mountain, it is relatively warmer here.Her feet lightened, and she didn't know when she was standing on the edge of the cliff. She looked at the old man in a daze, and the old man stroked his white beard and smiled lightly, pointing to the attics in front of him, "Did you see it? "

Ye Xi pulled the Taoist's clothes and shook his head, "If I said I didn't see you, would you take me back to that place? Or accept me as your apprentice?"

The old Taoist laughed loudly when he heard the words, pulled her to his side, knelt down and said, "You were originally a flower and plant in your previous life, but it's a pity that the blood is too deep. My child, the place in front is called Fuyun Pavilion, and there are three elders in it. The three methods of heaven, earth and spirit, there is always one that will suit you, you can go to them with this. If you have the ability, they will definitely have someone who is willing to accept you as a disciple." After saying that, he turned around and looked at the trail behind, "Let's go ..."

"Old Taoist...can you really not accept me as an apprentice?" Ye Xi suddenly knelt on the ground, "I look like this, everyone will run away when they see me." She lowered her head slightly as she spoke.

"Son, we will meet each other by fate, but you and I don't have this kind of master-student relationship. What will your future master do if you are accepted?" With a wave of his sleeve, the old way disappeared, only a few words remained Empty words echoed in the mountains.

Ye Xi looked at the thing in his hand, it turned out to be a paper lantern, isn't that old-fashioned?When is it in your hands?
Hua Gao came up from behind and squatted beside her. Ye Xi draped the flower cake, looked at the red and white attic, and whispered: "Floating Cloud Pavilion..."

Hua Gao stood up and pushed the dazed girl in front of her. Ye Xi looked back and asked, "Do you think I should go and see?"

Hua Gao nodded when she heard the words, suddenly picked her up and threw her on her back.

Ye Xi looked at the lantern in her hand, and let Hua Gao lead her down.At the foot of the mountain, a forest road appeared, surrounded by exotic flowers and plants.Hua Gao slowly stepped forward, but suddenly there was a low growl.

Ye Xi hurriedly climbed down from Hua Gao's back, her feet felt tingling, she looked down and saw that the ground was covered with thorns, large and small thorns wrapped around their feet, some dark red oozes out after a while .

"Hua Gao, you go out first, back up." Ye Xi pushed Hua Gao back a few steps, saw a few scars on Hua Gao's tiger claws and said with distress: "Hua Gao, there are too many thorns here. Come on, don't go in, just wait for me here."

Hua Gao walked up slowly after hearing the words, Ye Xi stopped it, "Hua Gao, I can go by myself, the old man will save me and won't hurt me, and he doesn't look like a bad person."

Ye Xi stared at the lantern in his hand for a moment, and seemed to think of something, why the flame inside the lantern has not been extinguished since the day came from Yunwu Mountain?Ordinary candles burn out overnight, why does this little lantern burn for so long?Thinking of this, she put the lantern on the ground curiously, and when she took a closer look, it turned out that there was not a candle inside, but a burning bead of fire.She slowly stretched her hand in, but there was no heat at all, and she took out the fire bead with confidence.

Without the barrier of paper paste, it appeared brighter. Ye Xi was surprised to find that the surrounding thorns had receded slightly because of the fire.She walked in slowly, and as expected, the surrounding thorns shrank back when they touched the fire.

Hua Gao hurriedly followed, and Ye Xi carefully climbed onto its back, scattered the thorns in front of it, and walked forward.
