Chapter 16 There is a painting at the root of the tree

Everyone immediately applauded, especially several women were the most happy, Ding Dong first was happy and then angry, snorted, and said angrily: "Rhetoric!"

The young man smiled and shook his head, walked over and handed the painting to Tinker Bell, smiled at her, and turned away. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ding Dong looked at the back of the young man who left, and wanted to stop talking, but suddenly he only heard who in the crowd suddenly said coldly: "Vixen, I want to seduce a man again." ”

The crowd was silent for a moment, and then a number of people laughed out loud, both men and women, the men laughed more obscenely, the women laughed more sharply, and the women laughed louder than the men.

The corners of Dingdong's mouth twitched, his face darkened a little, and he suddenly turned around and strode away, and soon walked onto the stone bridge and crossed the east bank, apparently going home.

Lu Chen stood behind the crowd, watching this scene lightly, and then looked at the scholar who had walked into the distance of another path on the west bank, and then muttered a little, and whispered to himself: "It's annoying, why is it more popular to be young and handsome little white faces everywhere." ”

When they left, many people talked about the scholar, all of whom admired his handsome appearance and great paintership;

Lu Chen walked back to the east bank, yawned a little boredly, and then walked under the big locust tree, glanced at the fish cage beside Lao Yu, as expected, it was empty.

He sat down on the other side of the big rock and asked knowingly, "Lao Yu, did you catch a fish today?"

"Nope. The old fisherman did not seem to understand the malice in his words, and answered him honestly.

Lu Chen smiled and said to him, "I don't think you will be able to catch the fish in this stream in your life." ”

The old fisherman was silent for a moment, and then replied as he had done countless times, "There are fish in this water." ”

"Cut!" Lu Chen stared at him, and after a while, he suddenly became excited, thinking that there are really all kinds of weird people in this world, and said: "Whatever you want, you say you have it, you deserve to spend your whole life here, and it is not in vain to catch it in the end!"

Originally, every time they said this, the two of them basically didn't have anything to say, who knew that this day didn't know why, Lao Yu suddenly glanced back at Lu Chen again, and then said slowly: "No, I saw that big fish has spiritual patterns on it, as long as I catch it and dedicate it to the immortals of Qianqiumen, then I can also cultivate immortals." ”

"Big fish with spirit patterns......" Lu Chen couldn't help laughing, and then smiled, "Oh, then if you really catch it, this fish is really more than a thousand spirit stones, enough for you to go to the Qianqiu Gate to cultivate immortals." But...... You're careful of being eaten by fish. ”

Lao Yu glanced at Lu Chen a little strangely, and said, "Fish don't eat people." ”

Lu Chen smiled and leaned over and patted him on the shoulder, without saying anything more, he glanced at the crystal clear stream, and got up to leave.

At this time, the sun has risen, shining on Qingshuitang Village, the waves on Qingshui Creek are flickering, and the shade under the big locust tree is very cool, only a small piece of broken sun falls from the gap in the leafy canopy.

Lu Chen took two steps outside, and was about to leave here when suddenly a ray of sunlight swayed in the shade of the tree, as if a shadow flashed in a corner of the big locust tree.

Lu Chen's body suddenly froze.

He turned to look in that direction, and saw that there was no more than a root of the locust tree, and the knotted root was partially raised to the ground, clutching the dirt, and there was a lot of green grass growing in it near the trunk and root.

Lu Chen's face looked a little strange, his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something, some doubts, some nervousness, and some disgust, but soon, he calmed down, his face returned to normal, and then casually walked to that place and kicked his feet, and untied a shoe on his foot, as if he was about to lean over and shake the soil on the shoe off the roots, his gaze quickly swept over the area.

The shadow seemed to flicker before his eyes again.

This time, Lu Chen saw clearly, it was a somewhat strange pattern, a little scribbled, like a meaningless graffiti randomly carved in the inconspicuous place between the roots of the tree, in the painting is a circle and several lines of different thicknesses, gathered together, it seems to vaguely look like a simple and weird tree.

The wound in the bark looks like it has just been cut, and it won't last more than a day.

Lu Chen's face slowly turned cold, he got up and put his shoes back on his feet, then walked back to the big rock, glanced at Lao Yu, who was still fishing quietly, and then lay down like this.

He lay down behind the old fisherman, closed his eyes, and began to hear the sound of the stream flowing and the faint wind blowing the leaves above his head, and everything seemed to be quiet, as life in this village had been so quiet for many years.

Until he suddenly spoke, breaking the silence, and said, "Lao Yu, let me ask you something." ”

"Oh......" said the old fisherman.

"You've been here for the past two days, haven't you?"

"Yes. The old fisherman said.

Lu Chen put his hands behind his head, looked at the green canopy above his head, and the broken sun that penetrated through the gaps in the branches and leaves, and said, "Has anyone else come to you?"

Lao Yu said: "No, you know, except for you and Lao Ma, no one in the village likes to talk to me." ”

Lu Chen sighed and said lightly: "I thought that there were more new people coming to this village recently, maybe you would make some new friends." ”

"Hehe......" Lao Yu laughed in a low voice, like those small gray fish in the stream beside him foaming and bursting.

Lu Chen turned over and sat up, then patted his buttocks, and walked straight away without looking at Lao Yu anymore.

Leaving the big locust tree, he first walked a few steps in the direction of the thatched hut at the foot of the mountain, but then stopped and muttered for a while, and then turned back and walked back the way he came.

At this moment, a man came in front of him, and when he saw Lu Chen, he arched his hand, and then asked very politely, "May I ask this brother, is this mountain behind you a tea mountain?"

Lu Chen glanced at him, and saw that this person was also a young man, carrying a long sword, wearing a cloak, and his face was a bit dusty, as if he had traveled a long way. Looking at the appearance and dress, it is a bit like the ordinary casual cultivation of walking around the world to seek the Tao.
