Chapter 40: Night Falls

Lu Chen walked all the way, and when he passed by the big locust tree, he paused, first glanced at the root of the tree, and then walked to the big stone with a smile, and smiled at the old fisherman who was sitting there fishing: "Lao Yu, how is today's harvest?"

Lao Yu's hat was crooked and silent. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lu Chen, who had already known the result, seemed to smile more happily, and simply squatted down beside Lao Yu, and said, "I said Lao Yu, if you sit and wait like this, I don't think it's a way." ”

The old fisherman was silent, and even looked at him a little blankly, Lu Chen didn't care about him, and said with a smile: "Or, let's go fishing in another place?"

Lao Yu frowned and said, "Where to fish?"

Lu Chen pointed to the mountain in the distance and said with a smile: "Go to Longhu Lake on the mountain, there is a lot of water and rain in that place, and if you don't know it, you will have a chance to find the big fish you want." ”

Lao Yu shook his head blankly and said, "The mountain is too high, and how can the fish be on the mountain?"

Lu Chen laughed, and was about to persuade a few more words, when suddenly the corner of his eye flashed, but he saw that the fishing rod floating in the water shook violently.

At this moment, Lu Chen and Lao Yu were both stunned, no matter who they have been used to for so long, they have long been accustomed to the feeling that they will never be able to catch a fish in this stream, is it ...... A change today?

A moment later, Lao Yu and Lu Chen jumped up and hurriedly put away the fishing rod together, but after a while, the fishing line was put away, and the two looked at the same time, but they only saw that at the hook, there was an ordinary small fish only the size of a small palm.

It's bigger than the little gray fish in the stream, enough to bite the bait, but obviously not up to the level of the big fish.

The two looked at each other, and after a while, Lao Yu Muran sat down again, while Lu Chen shrugged, grabbed the fish to unhook it, and said at the same time: "Okay, even this kind of fish is rare, maybe there will be a chance to ...... in the future."

Halfway through his words, Lu Chen's voice suddenly stopped, because just after his palm grabbed the body of the fish that had been pierced into his body by a fish hook, desperately struggling and twisting but helpless, suddenly, a strange aura suddenly appeared out of thin air, inexplicably with a trace of cold and murderous intent, seeping into his meridian qi veins.

Almost at the same moment, Lu Chen felt a sudden tremor in the sea of dantian qi in his body, and the Five Elements Divine Disk suddenly appeared, and then flipped up, and the dark aura surged in all directions, like a demon roaring, like a dark roar, and the incomparably strong black enveloped everything.

"Smack!"

A muffled sound came from his side, Lao Yu turned his head to take a look, only to see that the small fish fell from Lu Chen's hand and fell heavily to the ground. The original hook fell out of the fish's mouth, but for some reason, it fell into the whole body of the fish and directly pierced the belly of the small fish.

The fish writhed on the ground a few times, quickly losing its strength, and then died.

Lao Yu frowned, glanced at Lu Chen, and said, "This fish can't be eaten, it's better to let it go." ”

After saying that, he turned his head again, put the bait back on, and then threw out the rod and continued fishing.

Lu Chen stood quietly behind the old fisherman, and did not speak for a long time, and after a while, even when Lao Yu was a little strange, he heard Lu Chen's voice behind him suddenly become low and slow, and said, "You're right, I'm too heavy." ”

Lao Yu was a little strange, turned his head to look at Lu Chen, but saw that his face was as usual, his expression was calm, and there seemed to be nothing wrong, so he didn't bother to pay attention to him, and pulled his gaze back to the water.

Lu Chen stood for a while, then turned to leave. He didn't go any further towards the village, even though the place was not far from Lao Ma's tavern, he turned around, and walked back in the direction of the tea mountain, all the way back to the thatched hut at the foot of the mountain.

Before entering, he glanced at the top of the tea mountain, there was no one on the peaceful peak, Ding Dong didn't know where to go at the moment, maybe he was trekking on a mountain road somewhere in the mountain.

Lu Chen returned to the grass hut, sat on the bed without saying a word, and then lowered his head and thought silently, he recalled what had just happened little by little, every bit and every minute, even every action and every feeling, he did not let go.

His expression gradually became a little cold, and his eyes became sharper and brighter, as if he had vaguely guessed something. After a while, he suddenly got up and walked towards the door, and at the same time, on his right hand, which hung down at his side, his fingers slightly curled, and a moment later, a black short sword slipped silently out of his sleeve and landed on his hand.

The sun was shining outside the house, the sky was clear, he squinted his eyes slightly and looked around, and after a moment of silence, he walked towards the tea mountain.

The mountain is quiet, except for the rustle of the tea trees in the mountain wind, there are few other sounds, and occasionally there are some birdsong in the distance deep in the woods. Tea Mountain is not a majestic and vast mountain, but there are indeed a lot of wild things on the mountain, but for many years, the land in the front mountain has been opened up by the human race to plant tea trees, and most of the birds and beasts have left here, avoiding humans from moving to higher places on the mountain peak or the back mountain.

Lu Chen was holding the black short sword in his hand, the blade was dull, it seemed that it could not refract the light at all, it was restrained and deep, but the edge was extremely thin. His hand was steady and calm, but for some reason, the short sword always seemed to give the illusion of a slight trembling, not fear, not fear, but a kind of excitement that had not been seen for many years.

Even this dagger seems to be longing for something.

The man's gaze swept around, slowly moving forward, and at some point, Lu Chen's face became indifferent.

Halfway up the mountain, the forest became more and more silent, but when I reached this high place, I felt that the birds around me were chirping louder and louder, and on some tall trees, squirrels could often be seen.

Suddenly, a bush in front of him shook violently, revealing a gray head, but it was a gray rabbit that was common in the nearby mountains. Its mouth was constantly moving, as if it was chewing something, while looking around with a wary look.

Then, it saw Lu Chen, standing on the mountain road not far away.

It was a gentle man, his face was calm, and even at that moment there seemed to be a soft smile on the corner of his mouth, and it was obvious that the trace of coldness and solemnity that had vaguely appeared on him not long ago seemed to have suddenly disappeared.
