205 In vain

The battle between the words on the cliff and the moon in the lake, no one knows how to win or lose in the end.

Although Yuan Ke was curious, he didn't dare to rush over to check it out.

The night passed in silence.

Bai Yu, who had promised to return after one night at the latest, did not show up for a long time. Huang Zhen was anxious, watching the sky gradually brighten, he couldn't sit still anymore, so after discussing with Yuan Ke, the four of them went back to the shore of the Inviting Moon Lake.

Everything has been restored to the way it was.

Everything last night was like a dream, and no trace was left.

Yuan Ke kept looking at the word 'Invite Yue' engraved on the low cliff, but he couldn't see an obvious clue, and only vaguely felt that the sword intent on the carved word seemed to be a little lighter.

Luo Yuelan, who was walking aside, saw that he couldn't stop looking at the word carved on the cliff, and also looked at it a few times with doubts, but she also failed to see any clues.

Thinking of the obviously concealed appearance when Yuan Ke came here last night and returned to the cave, Luo Yuelan hesitated for a moment, and then asked Yuan Ke: "Senior Brother Yuan, what's the problem with the word "Invite Yue?"

Hearing the sound, Yuan Ke turned his head to look at Luo Yuelan, and when he met that gaze, he immediately noticed the meaning of exploration that was not very well hidden in that gaze, remembering his concealment last night, Yuan Ke was slightly embarrassed, and said: "This word Invite Yue has a strong sword intent, I don't know if my junior sister can see it?"

Luo Yuelan nodded when she heard this: "I can detect one or two." ”

Yuan Ke said with a smile: "I'm just wondering, who carved these two words on this low cliff, could it be a certain senior of our Great Sword Sect?"

Luo Yuelan listened, then she also turned her head to look at the word Yingyue, and said, "It's very likely." ”

"Looking at the sword intent remaining on these two words, the person who carved these two words at the beginning must have a very high realm, and it is unknown that he may have entered the upper realm. Yuan Ke said with a smile again.

Luo Yuelan raised her eyebrows in surprise, and when she looked at the words on the cliff again, her eyes couldn't help but become much more serious.

Yuan Ke didn't say much to her, and turned around to check if there was any trace of anyone nearby. After a circle, there was no trace of it. Come to think of it, Bai Yu shouldn't have come back yet.

It seems that his trip to find someone did not go well.

Yuan Ke's mood couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

Bai Yu has not returned for a long time, and this Yueyue Lake has now appeared again with the vision of last night, and he is not worried about continuing to stay here, but if Bai Yu does not come back, he will leave here alone with Qi Mu and the three of them, in case of such a situation the night before, I am afraid it will be difficult to save everyone.

For a while, whether to go or stay, Yuan Ke was a little undecided.

However, at this time, Yuan Ke was not the only one who couldn't make up his mind, but also Shen Muzhi outside the Hundred Flowers Valley.

Shen Muzhi, who had been thinking about it for a day and a night, finally came up with a plan when it was almost dawn this morning. However, it is not a complete solution, and the risks are still very high.

And this plan is not a good thing for that girl.

Shen Muzhi felt that most of the girls would not agree, but this strategy was the only way he could think of at present, if he didn't try it, if it dragged on, he couldn't say that the secret realm would be closed.

If the secret realm is closed, it will be five years before it is reopened.

Thinking of struggling here for another five years, Shen Muzhi felt cold, and the whole person was not good.

Outside the simple wooden house, he punched back and forth along the river bank several times, and finally made a decision.

Anyway, go ahead and try it first.

If you really can't convince the girl, then continue to find a way.

If you really can't think of a way, five years will only be five years.

Thinking about it, Shen Muzhi went to the mouth of Baihua Valley again. Standing at the mouth of the valley, in the oncoming wind, the fragrance of flowers is rich.

Shen Muzhi took a deep breath, and after settling down, he shouted loudly: "Can the girl come out and see, Shen has thought of a way!"

When the words fell, Shen Muzhi waited with some apprehension, looking forward to it.

A moment later, a few petals swirled in the breeze and fell not far in front of him, and then a yellow dress appeared in front of him.

Shen Muzhi was immediately overjoyed.

"Shen Muzhi has seen the girl. Shen Muzhi hurriedly bowed.

The woman is still wearing a group of pale yellow raccoon yarns, elegant and elegant.

"You'd better really have something useful, or I won't spare you!" the woman's eyes lit up indifferently.

Shen Muzhi lowered his eyelids with a little weakness and asked, "Have you heard of the contract?" As soon as the words fell, Shen Muzhi suddenly felt a chill around him, like falling into an ice cellar.

"What? you want me to sign a contract with you?" the woman's cold voice sounded faintly, already with a heavy murderous intent in it.

Although Shen Muzhi felt that it was unlikely that the woman would really kill him, he still couldn't help but tremble slightly, and nodded stubbornly: "Shen's meaning is true. However, the girl can rest assured, when she leaves here, Shen will definitely terminate the contract as soon as possible, and will never use the contract to contain the girl. The woman was silent, her eyes flashing, and it was evident that the idea had made the girl think about it.

Seeing that she was silent, Shen Muzhi quietly raised his eyes and glanced at him, and after seeing her intentions, he couldn't help but feel slightly relieved. So, he said: "If the girl is not at ease, Shen can swear." ”

When the woman heard this, her eyes flashed, and after a little muttering, she asked, "You and I have signed a contract, can we guarantee that those people will not attack me?"

Shen Mu was actually not sure in his heart, but if he was too honest at this time, then he would probably have to wait here for five years. With his strength, it is really difficult to say whether he can survive these five years.

Therefore, although Shen Muzhi was unwilling to deceive this girl, he had no way out at this time, so he had to ignore his conscience and said vaguely: "This girl can rest assured, as long as you and I sign a contract, you will be my attendant, and they will naturally not do anything to you again." After leaving the secret realm, I am looking for a suitable time to break the contract, and you will be free. Saying that, after Shen Muzhi paused, in order to increase his credibility, he added: "It's just that when I get outside, I hope that the girl can maintain a kind disposition and not be murderous." ”

The woman stared at him twice, and after a moment of silence, she said in a rare tone that was not so indifferent: "If you want to get there, there is still a moat separating you, even if it is me, I can't live a life unless I die." Your strength is low, and if you want to cross it, it is estimated that you will die in ten years. If you and I sign a contract, you will die and I will die, and if you want to cross the moat, there is very little hope. So, even if I promise you, it's useless. ”

When Shen Muzhi heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

If what she said was true, then wouldn't it be in vain for him to rack his brains for the past few days?

Seeing that he was stunned, the woman's eyes moved, and she turned around and disappeared.

Shen Muzhi stood in place, stunned for a while, and then went back to his wooden house with his head down. After sitting down on the bank in front of the wooden house, he watched in amazement as the river rushed past him.

After a long time, he finally pulled out of the lost state of mind just now, took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and then got up and went back to the wooden house.

Looking at the humble wooden house, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Could it be that he really wants to survive in this wooden house for another five years?

If the girl in Baihua Valley didn't drive him away for the next five years, and lasted another five years, maybe it wouldn't be a big problem.

He is not afraid of loneliness, nor is he afraid of hardship.

However, he was really unwilling.
