Chapter Seventy-Three: Late Night Pickup
Autumn has passed before you know it, and the crescent moon town outside the Lost Lands has also entered winter. Compared with the legendary Northern Ice Sea, which can freeze people into ice cubes, the winter here is not sad, at most it is just to add one or two pieces www.biquge.info of clothing, and if the monk is deep enough, even this can be avoided.
Lu Chen walked in Crescent City, looking leisurely, and not far behind him, a limping little black dog was following closely.
Although he was stern and terrible to Yi Xin when they were separated, Lu Chen still didn't really slaughter Ah Tu and stew it in the end.
Now Ah Tu is completely different from when he was found in the Confused Lands, and the shaved hair on his body has grown back, and he is no longer the ugly bald dog. And at this moment, Ah Tu's body is larger than before, his black fur is shiny, his movements are easy and agile, his eyes are bright and smart, he looks very lively, and his whole body is like a dog, and probably only the lame leg still stubbornly records its painful past.
Walking through a street corner, in front of you is the most lively market in Crescent City, where people come and go, and the noise swells like water waves.
Lu Chen looked left and right, and continued to walk forward without changing his face, but Ah Tu, who was behind him, looked around for a while, and suddenly drilled into the crowd, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Lu Chen glanced back casually, his face was indifferent and didn't seem to care, he just walked on, and it didn't take long to walk to the most lively place in the market, and suddenly saw a group of people gathered in front of the bulletin board on the side of the street, whispering and discussing, as if they had seen something surprising.
Lu Chen's curiosity aroused, so he also walked over, squeezed into the crowd and looked at the bulletin board, only to see that on top of the layers of a large pile of old paper, a new yellow paper was posted, with a few lines of words written on it.
Arrest the big thief of the river and the ocean, the blue butterfly! This fang is greedy for money, lustful, extremely vicious, and has committed countless evil deeds; murder, arson, rape, adultery, and plunder, causing a lot of blood and debts in the world. Recently, it is rumored that he has fled to the land of confusion, and the monks along the way have discussed it, and whoever captures this fang will be rewarded with 5,000 spirit stones.
The final payment is the famous True Immortal League.
The surrounding passers-by talked a lot, some of them expressed their indignation and contempt for the blue butterfly for doing so many evil things, and some of them lamented that since the True Immortal Alliance came forward, there was no place for such a fang in the world. It's no wonder that he could only run to the most dangerous and chaotic place, and at the same time the weakest power of the True Immortal Alliance in the world.
Lu Chen stood in front of the billboard and looked at it for a while, his expression became a little strange, and after a while, he suddenly sighed, and then scolded himself in a low voice, "What a slut!"
※※※
Lu Chen turned around and left the billboard, and walked towards the outside of Fang City, and when he was halfway there, he saw a black shadow flashing next to him, but it was the black dog Ah Tu who came out of nowhere, and he still had a bone in his mouth, looking at the fact that there was not much meat on it, and he didn't know where he found it.
When Ah Tu saw Lu Chen, he came over, wagged his tail at him very affectionately, and then put the meat and bone at Lu Chen's feet.
Lu Chen rolled his eyes and said, "Ah Tu, I've said it many times, I don't eat this ......"
Ah Tu didn't know if he understood it or not, but he just looked very happy, and called "Wangwang" twice to the landing dust.
Lu Chen shook his head, reached out and touched Ah Tu's head, and then continued to walk forward, Ah Tu saw it, and hurriedly picked up the meat and bones on the ground, and then gnawed and bit in his mouth all the way, and followed Lu Chen.
When this man and a dog walked out of the gate of Crescent City, the flesh and bone in Atu's mouth were gone.
Out of the city, Lu Chen took Ah Tu all the way south, and unconsciously walked to the familiar Yuehu Gorge again, but this time Lu Chen did not enter the canyon mountain road, but looked up at the Dragon and Tiger Mountain, and after a moment of silence, he turned to the side, walked into the dense woods and went up the mountain along the mountain.
Legend has it that there were dragons on Longshan a long time ago, but this legend is just like the Dragon Lake on the tea mountain in Qingshuitang Village. The mountains on Longshan are densely forested, and there are almost no roads to follow, so it can be seen that almost no one comes to this mountain on weekdays.
Lu Chen took Ah Tu to climb up from the foot of the mountain for half an hour, but he still hadn't walked out of the woods, but in the forest, he saw a small hill with three or four rocks exposed to the ground, and the surface of the stones was mottled and wet, covered with moss.
Lu Chen looked over there for a while, then looked up at the sky, and then bypassed these rocks, came to a place a few feet higher, and lay down under the roots of a tree where he could see the rocks below.
Ah Tu wagged his tail and walked to Lu Chen's side, with a look of doubt in his bright eyes. Lu Chen smiled at it, then reached out and put it to his mouth to make a silent motion.
Ah Tu tilted his head, the two dogs' ears lowered slightly, and after a while, they really lay down honestly beside Lu Chen.
The forest is very quiet, and from time to time the crisp birdsong from the branches and leaves overhead makes the mountain forest even more secluded. In the distance, there were occasional beast roars, but it was impossible to hear what kind of beast it was.
Lu Chen had been lying on his stomach for a long time, motionless for a long time, his eyes calm and waveless, staring at the rocks below for most of the time.
It's just that for such a long time, everything has not changed, waiting is a little boring, Ah Tu can't bear it a little, and he will move from time to time, patting the fallen leaves under his body with his paws, rubbing his head against Lu Chen's body next to him, and more often, he still sniffs and sniffs everywhere with his nose.
Waiting, waiting, waiting, the light in the forest gradually dimmed, and the day seemed to be coming to an end.
Ah Tu seemed to be a little bored, opening his mouth and yawning, but Lu Chen was unusually patient, looking at his appearance, it seemed that he still had the intention of waiting.
※※※
Night is approaching, and the mountains and forests are dark.
Lu Chen slowly stood up, looked around carefully, and when the corner of his eye swept around him, he was suddenly stunned, but he found that in this dark place, Ah Tu who was lying next to him, his eyes were slowly brightening in the dark, and a faint green luster appeared, like a dark green fire, burning silently in the silent darkness.
Lu Chen reached over, hugged Ah Tu's head and touched it, and Ah Tu let out a low whining sound, as if he was responding to something.
Then, Lu Chen let go of his hand and stood up, slowly walking down.
The forest was pitch black, and he couldn't see his fingers, but he seemed to be able to see things in the dark, and he walked step by step with extraordinary accuracy and composure. It didn't take long for him to come to the rocks.
He crouched down, one hand on the edge of the largest rock, and the other gently touched the bottom of the rock. The wet moss oozed water and wet his fingers. In the darkness, Lu Chen groped for a moment, and then found something from the dark crack under the rock.
He put it in his arms, turned and left.
