The grass stalk was reflected in his eyes that were occupied by black fire, Lu Chen snorted, and then quickly rushed to the only wooden bed in the room and lay down. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The wooden bed looked very simple, but it was very flat, and there was a layer of bedding on it, and I didn't know where Lu Chen reached out and pressed it on the bed, and suddenly I heard a low and dull sound, and the bed board turned over, and immediately sent Lu Chen under the bed, and the grass house was also silent for a moment, empty, and there was no sound anymore.

When the person was still flipping in mid-air, Lu Chen, who had been burned in pain by the black fire, couldn't help but roar, and when it was dark in front of him and his body began to fall involuntarily, he suddenly slapped his right hand heavily on his heart.

There was no sound, no movement, the darkness seemed to be motionless, but the figure that was falling downward in the darkness, the body that was being burned by the black flames, suddenly disappeared.

Just disappeared out of thin air!

The next moment, a gray light suddenly lit up in front of Lu Chen's eyes, and after a while, his body fell heavily to the ground, making a muffled sound.

The black fire was still burning mercilessly on his flesh and blood, and his body was scorched inch by inch, as if it was about to be burned into a pile of ashes, and at this moment the place where he was suddenly became a mysterious place, no more than two zhang in size, and only a few zhang in height.

It was surrounded by thick, seemingly continuing, mottled wood, which seemed to have passed countless years, and at the same time there was a misty green gas that made all the wooden walls look a little blurry, like an ancient tree hole.

On the ground in this "tree hole", there is only about two feet of open space, and there is a puddle in the middle that occupies half of the place, and the rest is ground. In that puddle, the water is clear with a hint of blue, and it doesn't move at all, and it can't see the depth clearly for a while, like a piece of crystal clear jasper, but there seems to be a strong and incomparably fresh and vibrant breath, which comes out of that pool of clear water.

At this moment, Lu Chen fell to the ground not far from the puddle, and he seemed to have no strength to stand up at this moment, but he was lying on the ground, still struggling for a while, and then his body rolled, and his bones turned twice, only to hear a "bang", and his whole person fell into the water.

"Whew!"

It was a strange sound, suddenly coming from my ears, as if it had been cut off from everything in this world, and it seemed like I was the only one left in the whole world. The faint water waves shook violently, countless large and small transparent bubbles floated in front of him, and the cool feeling approached his body from all directions, slowly suppressing the terrible and fierce burning sensation.

This puddle was much deeper than expected, but the size was just like that, Lu Chen couldn't even straighten his body in the water, he just hugged his body like that, like a frightened child, hiding in this silent water, letting the waves flow and wash his body, like a gentle hand, comforting his scarred heart.

Even in the water, the black fire on Lu Chen's body still hasn't been extinguished, the black flame is still burning, but as if suppressed by the strange vitality in this water, the black fire began to gradually wither, and then slowly retracted into Lu Chen's skin, gradually becoming smaller and weaker, until it quietly disappeared into his body.

The waves of water surrounded him, and then at a speed visible to the naked eye, the terrible scars on Lu Chen's body that had been burned by the black fire began to quickly return to their original state. It was as if nothing had happened, except for the exhausted man.

He shrunk tightly, hiding in the water, not showing his head for a long time, and his lips seemed to tremble slightly under the silence of the water.

He clenched his teeth, his face distorted slightly, and there was a look of sorrow and pain on his face, as if he wanted to cry in the light of the water, and as if he was holding back, he was forced to endure without making a sound.

He slowly raised his head and looked up from under the water, and in the rippling light of the water was another world that was vague, as if he could never see clearly, and there was no end in sight.

The next morning.

When the moon sets and the sun rises, when the light of the morning sun once again falls on this quiet little village, the whole village seems to come alive as if it has suddenly come to its senses, just like in the old days.

Lu Chen yawned and walked out of his thatched hut, carefully closed the wooden door, and then walked towards the village below the mountain.

Lao Yu sat under the big locust tree again, fishing for a big fish that seemed to never be hopefully found, and the people who came and went talked and laughed loudly with each other, talking about the fact that the Qianqiu Gate was going to send someone down to collect the Lingcha Linggu in a few days, and there were some words about the battle at the head of the village yesterday.

Lu Chen felt a little bored after listening to it for a while, and felt a little hungry, so he habitually walked towards the tavern.

Although this time was a little later than yesterday when he came, Lao Ma obviously had no intention of opening the door to do business, and the door of the tavern was still closed. But of course this is not a matter for Lu Chen, he walked over and knocked on the door twice, and then laughed loudly: "Old Ma, open the door to do business." ”

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps in the house, and someone walked behind the door, and then opened the door with a creak, revealing the old horse's slightly chubby body.

Lu Chen patted Lao Ma's shoulder with a smile and said, "I'm hungry, cook something to eat." As he spoke, he walked straight past him, and then heard the old horse cough slightly.

Lu Chen's eyes condensed slightly, swept through the tavern, and immediately saw another figure sitting at a table in front of him.

It was an old man who looked to be in his early fifties, with gray hair, a gentle smile, and even nodded when he saw Lu Chen.

Lao Ma closed the door behind him, plugged in the bolt, and then walked to Lu Chen's side and whispered, "Inspector Liu only arrived here this morning. ”

Lu Chen nodded, walked over and smiled at the old man, it seemed that the relationship was very familiar, and patted the old man's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Old man Liu, don't you come here once a year, I remember that the last time you came to Qingshuitang Village was only half a year, what, is this missing me?"

"Hahahaha......" The old man surnamed Liu looked very kind, and said to Lu Chen with a smile: "Xiao Lu, you are really joking, but this time I was ordered by the master of the Xue Hall to conduct a routine inspection, and by the way, I also came over to say hello to the two of you." ”
