There were stumbling along the way, but fortunately they were able to get out of the mountainside safely, and if it was a dead end, the two of them really didn't know what to do. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Standing on the mountain, the cold mountain wind blows through their bodies, and when they look up at the sky, they will find that the moonlight is extraordinarily bright tonight. The two of them looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Chen smiled: "We're lucky." ”

Hong Chuan nodded again and again, and said, "Exactly, I didn't expect to be able to come out like this." ”

Lu Chen looked around and found that this exit was just a crack in the mountain wall under the cover of a forest tree, and it looked a little dim on weekdays, if you didn't enter it, you couldn't understand how deep it was. I don't know how many stone crevices like this there are on the tea mountain, where would ordinary people identify them, but they couldn't imagine that behind this crevice, there was actually such a natural secret passage through the mountain, until the cave on the stone wall of the Tiankeng.

Lu Chen kept the terrain around this cave entrance in mind, and after a while, he said to Hong Chuan with a smile: "No matter what, we are finally out of danger, let's go back?"

Hong Chuan nodded, and then his face was a little shocked, and said, "Brother Lu, can I trouble you again, the net I caught the swallow just now was thrown on the ground by the sinkhole, and I need to go back and get it back." ”

Lu Chen nodded with a smile and said, "Let's go." ”

The two of them turned back and walked towards the tea mountain, in fact, there are no people here on weekdays in this area, the mountains and forests are dense and thorny, and the rocks are steep and there are no roads, so it is far more difficult for the two to walk than when they came from the former mountain. But fortunately, both of them were young and strong, and they still climbed over with their hands and feet.

About half an hour later, the two of them returned to the sinkhole, Hong Chuan's sharp eyes saw at a glance on the ground on the edge of the crag of the sinkhole, sure enough, the net was being thrown on the ground, and at the same time wriggling a few times from time to time, it was actually the swallows that had just been caught were still in it.

Hong Chuan was overjoyed, and hurriedly ran over to pick it up, and then retreated away from the pit with Lu Chen, and checked the swallows in the net one by one, and soon got four red feathers in good condition.

In this way, with the ninety-eight red feathers he had obtained earlier, this mission has been completed, and there are even two more.

Hong Chuan let out a long breath, and Lu Chen, who was next to him, patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Congratulations." ”

Hong Chuan turned his head and said sincerely: "This time, thanks to Brother Lu's help many times, I am really grateful." ”

Lu Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's just a gesture, come, since the matter is done, let's go back." ”

So saying, he took the lead and walked back. Although it was late at night, the moonlight was bright, and the roads on the tea mountain were roughly visible, and Lu Chen was very familiar with this place, so the two of them had no twists and turns along the way, so they walked down the tea mountain safely and returned to Lu Chen's thatched hut.

Then the two rested separately, and they didn't say anything all night, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

When the morning sun rises and the sun drives away the cold night, the sound of chickens and dogs barking can be heard in Qingshuitang Village in the distance, and a few wisps of cooking smoke rise, which is quiet and peaceful. Outside the thatched hut at the foot of the tea mountain, Lu Chen sent out Hong Chuan, who had packed his luggage, and asked him at the same time: "Brother Hong, do you really need anything else? ”

Hong Chuan shook his head and said, "Those are just things outside the body, and they don't get in the way." After that, he looked at Lu Chen, and said: "Brother Lu, you have a noble character, you are really the only one I have seen in my Hongchuan life, my family teacher used to teach me that it is difficult to distinguish between good and bad people in the world, but you must not judge by the level of Taoism." Looking at it today, it is the most reasoned way. ”

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Brother Hong, what you said is going to torment me, but it's just a small favor, don't take it to heart." ”

Hong Chuan shook his head and said, "No, this matter is not trivial to me, and even if it is a small matter, Brother Lu is very accessible to me in the face of righteousness and courage, and to help each other with righteousness." Before I went to sleep last night, I asked myself if I could do this if I were Brother Hong, but after thinking about it, I didn't dare to say the word 'yes' categorically, I was really ashamed......"

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, the smile on his face was also put away, and there was a little more rare respect in his eyes when he looked at Hong Chuan, and said, "Brother Hong, you treat yourself too strictly." ”

Hong Chuan smiled, looked at Lu Chen, and said, "Brother Lu, you did me a great favor this time, plus when the accident happened on the mountain last night, you saved my life, such a great favor, I really don't know how to repay it." ”

Lu Chen shook his head with a smile, and just when he wanted to say something, Hong Chuan said again: "Brother Lu, let me ask one more boldly, you have lived in this Qingshuitang Village for many years, but it is also so that one day you can have the opportunity to go to the nearby Qianqiu Gate to check the root bone talent, and see if there is a chance to cultivate immortals and practice the Dao?"

Lu Chen's eyebrows were raised slightly, and a faint glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, but then he returned to normal, and after a moment of silence, he smiled: "Almost, you see the people who live in this village, who is not for this?"

Hong Chuan nodded, and after a moment of silence, he took a piece of jade pendant from the hilt of the long sword behind him and handed it to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen was slightly stunned, stretched out his hand to take this jade pendant, only to feel that the tentacles were slightly cool, seeing that this jade pendant was square in size, the color was warm and moist, there was no handwriting on it, only a river pattern was engraved.

"This is ......" Lu Chen looked up at Hong Chuan and asked, with a puzzled look on his face.

Hong Chuan took a deep breath and said awe-inspiringly: "Brother Lu, this jade pendant is my own token, you can keep it." Although I don't know what opportunities you will encounter in the future, if you are unexpected, you will come to Kunlun Mountain to find me with this thing, and I dare not say anything else, I will definitely ask for a chance for you to test your talents. If you are fortunate enough to have the opportunity to cultivate immortals, you can worship under my Kunlun sect; if you don't have the natural opportunity, I will also guarantee you as a miscellaneous disciple in the Kunlun sect, I dare not say what the future is, but it is better than ordinary people, that is how it should be. ”

Lu Chen's body shook slightly, his face showed a little surprise, and then his eyes flashed as if he thought of something, his face changed a few times, and after a while, he nodded heavily, and said: "I didn't expect you to be so generous and righteous Brother Hong, I understand, I will accept this gift." ”

Hong Chuan laughed, bowed his hand to Lu Chen, and didn't say much, then turned around and strode away, and soon went down the foot of the mountain, walking farther and farther on the bluestone road by Qingshui Creek, and soon the figure disappeared among the clusters of green bamboo and peach blossoms.

Lu Chen, who was standing in front of the thatched house, looked up at the sky, only to see that the sky was blue, the sky was clear, and for some reason, the corners of his mouth slowly showed a smile.
