"Ahh

"Run, don't look back, keep running, keep running!"

The water is black.

Or rather, the night that does not see the light of day dyes the water black.

They poured into the mansion gate without warning, filling every space that Wei Lai could see.

The wet man grabbed Wei Lai's shoulder, and he said again and again, "Run!"

Wei Lai was a little stunned, and he couldn't figure out his situation - he was already stupid by everything in front of him.

When the man repeated these words again and again, Wei Lai, whose head was already blank, had no other thoughts, and he obeyed the man's wishes. He started to run, the water chased after him, he wanted to turn back, but a man's hoarse roar sounded in his ears: "Run!

He hurriedly put away such thoughts again, lowered his head and continued to run.

He had run a long way, and a long time, until his legs had begun to tremble, and his breathing had begun to lose track of his pace. But he was still running, because every time he had the idea of stopping, that phrase always rang in his ears.

"Run, don't look back!"

"Ahh

"Ahlai, Ahlai?"

Wei Lai sat up from the bed abruptly, gasping for air.

"Ah, are you there?" came a knock from the direction of the door, as well as Lu Yan'er's familiar voice.

Wei Lai came back to his senses, he took a deep breath, and then slowly calmed down from the gap between dream and reality.

"Alai ?!!!"

Lu Yan'er's voice sounded again, Wei Lai could hear it clearly, this time, there was a strong unconcealed taste of impatience in that voice.

The boy who heard the smell sat up from the bed with a carp, and then put all kinds of objects on the ground under the bed at a very fast speed, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and then walked to the door and opened the door.

And at this moment, Wei Lai's face was piled up with that trademark stunned smile, he looked at the girl standing at his door against the summer morning light, and said, "Miss, good morning." ”

"It's already time for you to be big!" the girl wrinkled her nose and looked the boy in front of her up and down with some dissatisfaction, she could see that Wei Lai was a little panting, and the hair on his forehead was a little disheveled, obviously because she was too anxious to get up and didn't have time to take care of it. "Why are you so lazy?"

"Look at Zhao Gongzi, who is extremely talented and works so hard, he reads every morning, gets up before the hour to do morning classes, and Mr. said that after going to Wuya Academy, Zhao Gongzi estimates that he will be able to open the second divine door by touching it. As for you, you have to learn from others. Daddy also bought you a lot of white deer antler velvet and green ginseng, you see how many months you have been here, and you haven't practiced to the Wuyang Realm yet. ”

Probably because of the night, Lu Yan'er's anger yesterday had already dissipated at this moment, and he was interested in talking to Wei again. It's just that these words are praised and depreciated, and others will be dissatisfied when they hear it, but Wei Lai just scratched his head and smirked: "Zhao Gongzi is already smart, where can I compare." ”

Listening to her sweetheart being praised, the girl's face showed a smugness that could not be concealed, she stretched her neck, and was quite proud more than she was praised: "That's." After she said this, she felt that it was wrong, so she hurriedly collapsed her face and continued to preach in an old-fashioned manner: "That's not a reason for you to be lazy. ”

"People say that stupid birds fly first, the more we can't compare with other people's talents, the harder we have to work, and this first entry does not depend on understanding, but diligence. Even if you can't go too high, you can have some skills to defend yourself and make a living. ”

The girl chattered in Wei Lai's ear vigorously, although she didn't deliberately express it, Wei Lai still heard a little taste of parting entrustment from it. This made his heart a little melancholy, he scratched his head again, and seemingly inadvertently changed the topic: "By the way, what is the matter with Miss looking for me?"

The girl who spoke was stunned, blinked her eyes again, and then woke up like a dream. She glanced at Wei Lai as if she was blaming, and complained: "It's all your fault, I almost forgot what Daddy told me, and an old man came to the house, who seemed to be Daddy's friend, and said he wanted to see you." ”

Friend, do you want to see me?

Wei Lai frowned, somewhat confused. But he didn't think much about it, then nodded, and followed Lu Yan'er to the main house in the mansion.

Along the way, Lu Yan'er still kept talking, like a little old woman, tirelessly admonishing Wei Lai, until she walked to the door of the main house, but before leaving, she didn't forget to leave a mysterious sentence: "By the way, you have to come back from the Dragon King Temple early today, and in the evening... Zhao Gongzi is coming to Fuzhong. ”

After that, Lu Yan'er ran away with her cheeks a little red, and Wei looked at the back of the girl who was running away, with a complicated expression, but quickly changed to a wooden face and walked into the main house.

......

On the left side of the main room, there are two figures sitting on the two Taishi chairs.

One was Lu Guanshan, who had changed into a crow-blue robe, and the other was the old man in Lu Yan'er's mouth, the two were chatting in the room, and Wei Lai's arrival unsurprisingly interrupted the conversation between the two.

The old man also put down the teacup in his hand at that time and looked at Wei Lai, and Wei Lai also looked at the old man as a matter of course.

The eyes of an old man and a young man met in mid-air, and then they moved away in a very tacit understanding, looking at each other.

Rough.

This was Wei Lai's first impression of the old man in front of him.

The old man was about sixty years old, wearing a gray linen robe that had been washed white, with a few yellowing stains on the cuffs and neckline, and his gray hair seemed to have not been taken care of for a long time, and even a little dandruff was faintly visible. If he hadn't been sitting next to Lu Guanshan at this moment, Wei Lai would probably have regarded him as a beggar begging on the side of the road.

However, Wei Lai soon denied such a view, at least the sword box made of tungsten iron on the old man's back, and the yellow dog with a wine gourd on his back and his eyes were not things that a beggar could have.

"This is Wei Shou's son?" After a few breaths, the old man took the lead in retracting his gaze, he frowned, looked at Lu Guanshan beside him, and asked in a rather strange tone.

Lu Guanshan nodded with a smile and responded, "Exactly." ”

The old man, who had received a definite answer, turned his head to look at Wei Lai again, his gaze swept back and forth over Wei Lai's body again, this time he looked more carefully than before, and it took a lot longer, and as time passed, his brow furrowed deeper and deeper.

That kind of gaze is not just a simple look between strangers, but more like examining an object. Wei Lai is not an object, so he doesn't like the old man's gaze.

"How so. But the old man didn't care what Wei Lai was thinking, and when he finished his scrutiny, he frowned and looked at Lu Guanshan beside him again.

Wei Lai could hear that this time the old man's tone was a little displeased.

"......" Lu Guanshan was silent, turned his head to look outside the house, Wei Lai knew that it was the direction of the Wupan River.

The old man was stunned, and only after a long time did he understand the meaning of Lu Guanshan. His face sank and he sat back in his seat.

Then he grimaced, his fingers on the armrest of the Taishi's chair and tapped back and forth, and the soft sound of "dong dong" echoed in the silent room, again and again...

This situation lasted for more than ten breaths before it stopped. Then the old man sighed and said, "What can he do if he goes to Tiangang Mountain like this?"

Lu Guanshan also sat down at that time when he heard this, he slowly reached out and lifted the teapot on the desk, poured tea for the old man, and said unhurriedly: "Does Old Cao think that there is something more important in this world than surviving?"

The old man known as Cao Lao glared at Lu Guanshan angrily, and then scolded with great displeasure: "Don't give me this set, everyone can get through this disaster, but the old man who stabbed the two brothers can't afford it." ”

Of course, these words were extremely unkind, but Lu Guanshan, who heard this, was calm, and even arched his hand towards the old man, and said in a humble tone: "Old Cao praised it." ”

This made the old man's posture fixed, and it made the old man so angry that he blew his beard and stared. But Rao is like this, that Cao Lao still took a few breaths, picked up the teacup on the desk and put it to his lips and drank it all.

Bang!

Then he put the teacup back on the desk, glared at Wei Lai, who was in a daze on the side, and snorted coldly at the tip of his nose: "Silly boy, come over to me." ”

"You give the old man three kowtows now, and from now on you will be the old man's disciple. ”
