Chapter 178: Clues
Lu Chen walked to the big tree, looked at it carefully for a while, and then suddenly stretched out his hand and gently stroked the trunk. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe rough bark brushed over his palm, and it felt rough like a rock.
There was still silence around, but Lu Chen's gaze was getting brighter and brighter, his fingers moving more and more slowly, and after a while, when his fingers crossed a mottled crack, he suddenly stopped.
The cracked bark showed a dull dark brown color on his fingertips, Lu Chen's eyebrows were raised, and he gently pressed and groped for it, gradually, a tiny slit was revealed from the dark bark, and with the movement of his fingers, the slit continued to expand, and finally turned into a palm-sized piece of bark that shook suddenly, and then fell from the trunk.
With a "snap", the piece of bark fell lightly to the ground.
Lu Chen didn't look closely, he just stared at the trunk that was exposed behind the bark, and the smooth wood in that place had been carved into a simple and twisted pattern with a sharp blade.
A thick line, several thin lines, of different lengths and thicknesses, at first glance look like graffiti, but if you look closely, you will see that these twisted lines look like a tree when they are together.
A big tree!
The corners of Lu Chen's mouth slowly showed a smile, he stared at this extremely secret pattern, as if he wanted to keep it in his heart, after a while, his right hand flipped over, and a black short sword appeared in his hand, and then he saw a black light passing by, and he cut it down with a sword, but he directly cut down the piece of wood engraved with the pattern.
Then, he turned around and called out to Ah Tu, and walked quickly to the outside of the mountain forest, never looking back.

When Lu Chen returned to the flying goose platform, he walked on the mountain road and saw a pretty figure standing in front of him from a distance, at first Lu Chen thought it was Su Qingjun, but he quickly noticed that something was wrong, and when he walked a few steps further, he found that it was Yi Xin who came.
The black dog Ah Tu let out a happy bark, spread his legs and ran forward, Yi Xin squatted down with a smile, hugged Ah Tu, and touched it fiercely.
Ah Tu also happily jumped around her, and after a while, Lu Chen walked up and said with a smile: "Why did you come here today?"
Yi Xin touched Ah Tu's head, then stood up and smiled at Lu Chen: "It's rare to be free, I thought I hadn't seen you and Ah Tu for a long time, so I came to see you." ā
Lu Chen said: "Sounds like you've been busy lately?"
Yi Xin said: "But isn't it, since my master came out of the customs, the people who came one after another, and I, as his only apprentice at present, have been tired enough to receive guests all day long." But the people who can get in touch with my master are all people with status and status, and they can't be taken lightly, let alone how tiring they are. ā
Lu Chen laughed and said, "Don't complain, it's better than if no one took care of you before." ā
Yi Xin grinned.
Lu Chen glanced around, only to see that the sky above the Flying Goose Platform was empty, the mountain wall cave in the distance was not opened, and the stone door was closed, so he asked Yi Xin, "Didn't you come here and see your sister Su?"
Yi Xin said: "No, I just came here not long ago, and Sister Su hasn't come out, so I don't dare to go over and disturb her easily." ā
Lu Chen nodded and said, "It's okay, then you can sit with me." With that, he led Yi Xin to the wooden house he had just built.
After entering the wooden house, Yi Xin looked left and right very curious, and saw that most of the place in the house was made of wood, including walls, tables and chairs, beds, etc., but it had not undergone any follow-up renovation such as painting and painting, so the whole room looked very rough, but at the same time, it also exuded a natural fragrance of trees.
Looking at Yi Xin's face, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Why, I've never seen a house like this, right?"
Yi Xin nodded and said, "Yes, it's really the first time I've seen it, is this all built by you, Brother Lu?"
"Hmm. ā
"That's amazing. Yi Xin praised from the bottom of his heart.
Lu Chen smiled, pulled over a wooden chair for Yi Xin to sit down, and said casually: "It's just to cut some wood and tie it together, just mess around, nothing unusual." ā
Yi Xin laughed, and then suddenly seemed to think of something, his face turned pale, a cunning color flashed in his eyes, and he said to Lu Chen: "Well, I'm coming over today, there is another thing to inform you." ā
"Hmm, is it important to say it so formally?" Lu Chen asked a little strangely.
Yi Xin coughed, and then said, "I can't call you Brother Lu anymore in the future." ā
"Ah, why?" Lu Chen asked.
"Look," Yi Xin said seriously, "Sister Su and I have always been friends, but now that you are Sister Su's nominal disciple, you have to call her Master, right?
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then scolded with a smile: "Okay, now you will actually take advantage of me." ā
Yi Xin snorted and said, "What is taking advantage, if you dare not call Sister Su Master, then I won't let you call Uncle Shi." ā
Lu Chen waved his hand and said, "What's the matter, Su Qingjun is a few years younger than me, how can I call her Master, no, no." ā
Yi Xin laughed and said, "You can say this behind your back, Sister Su is really coming later, I see if you dare to admit it." ā
Lu Chen said solemnly: "Manly man, if you don't call it, you won't call it, it's useless for you to threaten." ā
Yi Xin covered his mouth and giggled, looking very happy.
Looking at her appearance, Lu Chen also felt that his mood seemed to be much better, so he said to her with a smile: "Didn't you say that you were very busy in front of you, why are you free today?"
"Oh, my master went out to meet an old friend today, so I'm free. Yi Xin stretched his waist, and then leaned back on the rough bed without any taboos, fell on it with a pleasant smile, and said, "It's still at your side, Brother Lu, don't you know that I am in the Sanzhang Peak Cave Mansion, all day long, my face is sour, and those who don't know each other have to greet each other with a smile, which is really ten times more tiring than cultivation." ā
Lu Chen scolded with a smile: "You are born in the blessing and don't know the blessing, but it's really annoying to see so many people every day, you can come to me to play if you have nothing to do in the future, and when I'm not there, it's good for you to chat with your sister Su." ā
Yi Xin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Even if I talk to you, I won't delay you anything, but Sister Su is a genius who is in the limelight, and she must have spent all day practicing in a hurry, so I don't dare to disturb her." ā
Lu Chen thought for a while and said, "Hmm...... Actually, it's not entirely like that, your sister Su sometimes likes someone to chat with her, anyway, it's not a bad thing for you to be closer to her more. ā
Yi Xin glanced at Lu Chen with some surprise and said, "Hey, you know Sister Su quite well now." ā
Lu Chen smiled: "It's average." By the way, there are so many real people and bigwigs on this mountain, who are you going to meet your master?"
Yi Xin said: "My master didn't tell me, he just said hello to me and left." Hey, he usually tells me where he goes?"
Probably thinking of this difference, Yi Xin became a little sullen. Lu Chen saw that this girl's mood fluctuated so easily, and he was also a little funny, so he casually said some jokes at the moment, which made Yi Xin happy in a blink of an eye.
The two chatted here for a while, and when they saw that it was not early, Yi Xin got up and said goodbye. Lu Chen sent her to the side of the mountain road and watched her go away, but after a while, Yi Xin suddenly turned back and said to Lu Chen: "Brother Lu, there is something I want to tell you about." ā
Lu Chen saw that her expression was a little solemn, not like a joke, and he was also a little surprised in his heart, and said, "What's wrong?"
Yi Xin said: "Before my master went out this time, someone once came to visit him...... It's Senior Brother He Yi. ā
Lu Chen's face was slightly gloomy, and he said, "He Gang's eldest brother?"
"Yes. ā
Lu Chen could understand why Yi Xin's face was not too good-looking at the moment, after all, He Gang's incident was like a nightmare to her, and she really didn't want to recall the past. And He Yi is He Gang's eldest brother, and He Gang was directly driven out of Kunlun Mountain because of that incident, no matter how you look at it, he and Yi Xin are in a situation like fire and water.
And Yi Xin is Dongfang Tao's only apprentice, obviously, Dongfang Tao and He Yi can't go together.
But that's what happened, and there's something odd about it.
Lu Chen thought for a while and said, "Did you hear what they said that day?"
Yi Xin thought for a moment and said, "I was on the side most of the time before, but what they said was polite words, nothing important. Later, when I was almost done, I packed up the tea set and left for a while, and the two of them seemed to have said a few more words, but I didn't hear them. ā
Lu Chen frowned and was speechless for a while.
Yi Xin looked a little worried on his face, full of thoughts, and said in a low voice: "Brother Lu, what do you say...... What will they talk about? My master, should he, be moved by what Senior Brother He Yi said?"
Lu Chen glanced at the girl and sighed in his heart. Yi Xin's good life today can be said to be almost entirely due to the fact that she was appreciated by Dongfang Tao, and Dongfang Tao unexpectedly broke through the big life and death barrier and became a real person.
If Dongfang Tao was bewitched by He Yi and had any opinion on Yi Xin, then it could almost be said to be a catastrophe for her, and it was no wonder that she was not calm at all.
After Lu Chen pondered for a moment, he said to Yi Xin: "Yi Xin, don't worry, in fact, in my opinion, this matter should not be as bad as you think." After a pause, he said, "If you are still not at ease, I will find a way to help you inquire about He Yi's recent movements?"
"Hmm. Yi Xin nodded heavily, a smile appeared on his face, although he knew that Senior Brother He Yi and Lu Chen's Dao strength were vastly different, but for some reason, when Lu Chen said to her help, Yi Xin almost subconsciously believed him.
What he says, he will definitely do.
Yi Xin thought like this in his heart, and his mood suddenly improved. (To be continued.) )
