The first light of dawn has risen.

The dense fog around the mountain peaks seemed to be sprinkled with gold dust, hazy and dreamlike.

The wind is getting colder.

There was also a haggard figure standing on the lonely peak.

Luo Niang looked back at the mountain and couldn't help asking, "Miss, really let that old man do all this by himself?" How could it be done. ”

What Hongchen said just now, after a little listening, I feel that the project is huge, let alone one person, even if hundreds of people are recruited, it may not be able to be completed in a short time.

"You can see that if he can't finish it in one day anyway, the family will be unlucky for a day." Hongchen smiled indifferently.

In a word, Bai Gongzi's face turned green with fright.

But not only the old man was unlucky, but his Cai Mei was also involved, hearing that he would never leave again, he only let people send Cai Mei back, and he himself stayed in the mountains to stare at the old man, urging him not to be lazy.

Hongchen smiled, but he was not in the mood to stop it, only seeing Xiao Yan's soft-hearted appearance, he couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, do you think that a spirit master like him who walks the world alone will have some ability?" ”

Indeed, as Hongchen said, the old man's energy is very great, relying on his own strength, moving mountains and seas is not counted, but it is comparable to hundreds of people, he is also desperate enough, he is tired and exhausted every day and refuses to sleep, day and night, he really can't stand it, he falls into the land to rest for a while and then gets up to work.

Even Bai Gongzi was frightened, he was afraid that he would not be able to get up if he accidentally fell down, and when he saw him again, he suddenly had great strength, his speed was like the wind, and the mountains and forests listened to his call, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to urge.

In less than a month, everything was done.

Hongchen estimated the time, and before the person sent by Bai Gongzi to ask for her arrived, she entered the mountain first.

It is also strange to say that the prince of Youwang should have had important tasks with him, but he actually stayed here, and somewhere he heard that Hongchen was going to enter the mountain, so he took the initiative to escort him, and he was eager to try it on his face, and he was very interested.

He can send it if he wants, and it is more convenient.

Most of the young people who were trapped on the mountain that day couldn't help but follow after hearing about this, and the young people were full of curiosity.

Qiao's also wanted to follow, but she was the eldest lady of the house, so it was not good to run around, so after thinking about it, she didn't go, but she didn't hold Sister Yao.

Sister Yao hasn't gone out since she got better, so it's not bad to let her go out for a walk, there are so many people, and there are Youwang Shizi with guards, and Qiao's family doesn't think there will be any danger.

Hongchen went up the mountain, and when he saw the old man, he smiled: "The old gentleman is so fast." ”

Not to mention how worn-out and embarrassed this person's clothes are, in a short period of time, he lost ten pounds, and he is at least twenty years old.

The old man was no longer unruly at the beginning, but was much silent, and sighed in a low voice: "The old man does not dare to be unhappy. ”

In fact, when he blew up the cave that day, he was still hard-mouthed, but he randomly noticed that something was wrong, and he sensed that something was wrong with his own children.

Bai Gongzi shrank back, drooping his head, his face full of fear and awe, and he was especially frightened when he saw Hongchen.

He went to inquire according to the old gentleman's intentions, the old gentleman's house is in Liuzhou, not far from here, the Bai family also has a business house nearby, and the letters are frequent, and he soon heard clearly, the old gentleman's son Jian Ying accidentally kicked the horse on the way out to study, and his internal organs were injured and vomited blood, and he is still sick in bed.

Bai Gongzi kept an eye on it, and deliberately asked people to inquire about the time of the accident, which happened to be when the old man blew up the cave of the black snake and was swept away by the black snake, even if it was not at the right time, the error was not large.

Not only that, in just over half a month, the old gentleman's family had frequent accidents, and his daughter dived into the well by mistake, but fortunately she was saved, her grandson was broken and almost broken, and the youngest daughter was dismissed.

This kind of thing happened one after another, the family because of their own father, knew a little thing, the heart was not good, and then closed the door, everyone stayed at home, always careful care, that's it, and from time to time a few unlucky things, what kind of meal to eat a mouse feces or something, are all small things, walking slippery, not new, especially the old gentleman's little daughter happened to be pregnant, immediately to give birth, the whole family treated her as an ancestor for fear of mistakes, and encountered two dangers.

Bai Gongzi looked creepy - this kind of method can be called turning the clouds and rain, and he can easily control people's life and death, how terrifying!

Since the old immortal chief knew the news he had heard, he had worked hard, completely disregarding his own life, and he was also very scared, and everyone was like this, ordinary people like him were not afraid to have ghosts.

Hongchen climbed high and looked into the distance, checked it, and nodded: "The old man did a good job, very accurate, now your old man will stand in the eye of the formation and help the black snake survive the thunder tribulation again." ”

The old man didn't say a word, but was generous and righteous, and stood on a gentle high platform according to her instructions.

"If you break off halfway and you fall to the ground, then it will be a failure, and then the black dragon's resentment will be heavier, think clearly."

Hongchen said lightly.

The old man sighed: "Don't worry, I've figured it out, my beloved disciple was killed by me ten years ago, it's none of anyone's business, it's just that after so many years, I don't want to believe this fact." ”

Ten years ago, he walked too quickly in order to chase and kill the black snake, ignoring the very uncomfortable apprentice, the apprentice was well-behaved and obedient, and refused to disturb the master when he was poisoned by the snake, and he didn't pay attention to it, a good child, and died so miserably.

This old man came back to his senses as early as that day when he triggered the thunder tribulation, and that day the little black snake carried a grass to his little apprentice and circled around him, not to hurt him, but to save him.

However, his prejudice is too deep, and he is completely unwilling to think about it carefully, so that he has done a lot of evil.

"I've been wrong for the past ten years, and this time, I don't dare to be wrong again." He looked up and saw that the world was beautiful in all directions, and said softly, "At least to protect this piece of mountain forest, just to ask for peace of mind." ”

If the resentful dragon can't be freed, this mountain forest will become a dead land, and it is not as simple as the earth shaking the mountains.

Hongchen smiled, his face softened slightly, and he looked up and saw that the sky was cloudless.

"Almost."

As she spoke, she stepped lightly onto the high platform, and for a moment felt something restraining her body, and it loosened a little.

"Yunqi!"

With the red dust shouted.

Suddenly there were clouds in the sky, and the clouds were thick.

Everyone was startled, Bai Gongzi gritted his teeth, and secretly swore - no matter if Li Sheng died, he would never tell this young lady about it!

Li Sheng disappeared, but he also knew each other, and after solving the matter of Caimei, he wanted to mention it to Hongchen.

However, everyone can see that the relationship between Li Sheng and Miss Lu is not very good, where does he dare to touch thunder at this time!

"The wind rises!"

For a moment, the wind roared.

"Thunder!"

There was a boom, lightning and thunder, and huge lightning fell from the sky with huge thunder, and slashed at the black dragon and snake-like thing.

Every time they slashed, everyone seemed to hear a terrible scream in their ears, but it was not the roar of the black dragon, and everyone couldn't help but close their eyes as soon as they turned around.

The old man could no longer stand on the high platform, and sat on his knees, covered in blood, and his hair was charred, as if most of the thunder had struck him.

Bai Gongzi trembled all over, and shrank back in fright, but the prince of Youwang stood side by side with Hongchen and whispered: "The power of heaven and earth is really amazing." ”

His eyes flickered, he seemed to be a little worried, and he seemed to be a little sad, and he unconsciously glanced at Hongchen, seeing that she was still calm and calm under the threat of such a heaven and earth, and her expression had not even changed at all, and her eyes couldn't help but be softer.

Such a beautiful girl, such a unique charm, really like his mother.

Fang Huan, the prince of Youwang, smiled, letting the little yearning and charming thoughts in his mind fly.

Hongchen took a deep breath, raised his voice, and shouted: "Start the bridge!" ”

A rainbow bridge suddenly appeared in the sky, turning from light color to bright color, slowly breaking through the thunder light, extending little by little, until it extended in front of the black dragon.

At this time, everyone looked at the snake again—it was no longer a snake, it was a real dragon, with thick claws, shining dragon scales, and extraordinary might.

"Dragon!"

Bai Gongzi exclaimed in surprise and covered his mouth again, fortunately, he was not the only one, but the others were also out of shape.

Although it was already said at the time that the black snake gave birth to dragon horns and could immediately turn into a dragon, it was still a black snake after all.

People's fear and yearning for dragons have been passed down for thousands of years, hidden in the bloodline, and will never be reduced.

Hongchen smiled: "At this moment, if you don't go at this time, what are you waiting for!" ”

Before the words fell, the black dragon jumped up, flew up on the bridge with a long groan, flew up along the bridge, flew higher and higher, and at some point in front of him, a light gate appeared silently, and the dragon drilled into it, and the light was great.

I don't know how long it took before the light receded, and everyone couldn't make a sound, and stood in a daze.

Bai Gongzi didn't know if it was his own delusion, as if the trend of the mountain range below had changed, turning into a big dragon with five claws, long dragon horns, and flashing scales, rubbing his eyes, and feeling surprised.

This mountain is ordinary.

The mountains are ordinary, the water is ordinary, except for a Taoist temple in Fengcheng, there is no name, but now even he, a man who is not full of poetry and books, is not a great Confucian, he also has an urge to chant poetry and do the opposite, so beautiful mountains and rivers, isn't it worth singing!

It took a long time for everyone to come back to their senses, and Bai Gongzi looked up at the old immortal chief, who was kneeling on the ground, motionless.

The others sighed - such a terrible thunderstorm, this old man is afraid that he will die.

Bai Gongzi was also a little uncomfortable in his heart, walked over to take a look, and was stunned.

The others also noticed at this time and were stunned.

The old man was bareheaded, his clothes were tattered, but there was not the slightest injury on his body, and his face was ruddy and shiny, and he was no longer as haggard and embarrassed as he had been at the beginning.

"People are still blessed!"

Hongchen also let his eyes fall on the old man, and sighed softly. Heaven and earth are ruthless, but they are truly fair.

"Congratulations, old man."

The old man also smiled: "I should thank Miss for it." ”

He stretched out his hand, looked at his palm, and said with a smile: "I'm going home, and when the time comes, I will invite the young lady to come to my house and choose an auspicious point for me, so that it can help my children and grandchildren a little." ”

Hongchen nodded: "Ten years later, I will go to find the old gentleman." ”

"Hahaha, good, good."

The old man's sleeves flew, turned around and left, and said to Bai Gongzi from a distance, "I am tired and tell Li Gongzi that the old man has exhausted his cultivation and can't help him, so let him do it himself." ”

Bai Gongzi was stunned for a moment, listening to the old man's cheerful words, he was still a little confused, what does it mean to cultivate to the end? That's it, where can you see that the cultivation is exhausted, and it seems to be a big progress!

The thoughts of the masters, they mortals can't understand.

Bai Gongzi wiped his face, and wanted to get to Hongchen's side very diligently, but at this time, Hongchen looked around, and was already escorted down the mountain by the prince of Youwang, he didn't dare to be courteous, so he could only try to move forward.

After this time, Luo Niang and Xiao Yan were also quite shocked, and even Xiao Yan, who had little talk, chattered non-stop along the way.

"By the way, I seem to have forgotten something."

Xiao Yan pressed his eyebrows, always feeling that he had forgotten something.

Luo Niang smiled: "Li Sheng, I heard that Li Sheng has disappeared and has not been found yet, and he has not seen anyone alive or dead." ”

There was an accident in the mountains that day, and there were a lot of missing people, and the government went out to search the mountains, tossing for a long time, and also found a lot of corpses, and also found some survivors, but Li Sheng never had any news.

Because of this, the Li family also made a big incident, and even the yamen side was annoyed.

Xiao Yan slapped his forehead and said softly, "Yes, Li Sheng." Miss, what is the situation with Li Sheng? It's not that he was swept away by the black dragon, why is even the old man safe and sound, but he is gone, and the little maid beside him, why is it gone. ”

Xiao Yan didn't really care much about Li Sheng's life or death, but she was very curious about the little girl who looked pitiful but was actually very weird.

Hongchen spread his hands: "I don't know." ”

"Huh?"

"Ah what, I'm not an immortal, and of course I can't know everything."

Xiao Yan and Luo Niang refused to believe it, and their young lady said that day that Li Sheng would be retributed, and now it has come true.

"I only know one thing, the little maid next to Li Sheng is not a person, maybe a mountain spirit, maybe a water monster, or a wisp of soul practicing in the deep mountains, no matter what it is, she has a deep connection with that Li Sheng, and even the Heavenly Dao doesn't care what she does, so we don't care."

Hongchen's eyes were deep, "We all have to understand that some things can be managed, some things should not be managed, and some things must be managed. ”

Then he smiled again, "Let's just say that this Li Sheng, the breath all over his body makes me feel very uncomfortable, very dirty, for the mountain spirits and ghosts, this kind of person has the benefits of this kind of person, easy to mouth, eat most of the time, no cultivator runs out for the heavens, maybe he was eaten by the mountain spirit." ”

Xiao Yan closed his mouth, blinked and didn't ask more.

In fact, as long as you know that the little girl who was bullied next to Li Sheng is not a person, you can guess a few points about Li Sheng's fate.

The matter was settled smoothly.

Hongchen also has a little nickname, in Fengcheng, but his fame is not very big, and it didn't alarm too many people, and even those of the Lu family who didn't go to the mountains that day didn't know.

Although the world gossips, they are always a little more cautious about such a master who lights up strange skills.

They don't know whether other masters are willing to be famous, so they naturally don't dare to talk nonsense, and those who know also have some self-cherishing ideas, if only they know where the masters are, when they need it in the future, it will be easier for them to find someone to help.

Qiao's seems to treat Hongchen as usual, but it seems to have a little guilt, which is better for her.

Xiao Yan and Luo Niang feel the deepest, now at home, what treatment Sister Yao has, what treatment their young lady has, it is not bad at all.

It's just that one thing is not very good, that prince of Youwang has become a guest of the Lu family, and in a short period of time, he has won the love of everyone in the Lu family.

Even the third master of the Lu family, the second master who only knows how ********to study, and even the eldest master, his face is shining when he mentions him.

If it's just like this, Hongchen and they won't care, the Lu family is in a relationship with a prince and a prince, or a prince who is not even afraid of changing the dynasty and has a stable status, it is really not a bad thing, the problem is that even Brother Mao'er's small ones are vaguely felt, Fang Huan is very different from Hongchen.

All gifts, all the children of the Lu family must have them, but Hongchen's must be the most special, as long as the juniors get together, you can see that relatives are estranged and close, he treats others just politely, and treats Hongchen, but reveals a trace of closeness.

On this day, the eldest man drank some wine outside, and it was rare to come to Qiao's place, and his face was a little excited.

Qiao Shi was doing needlework, and when he saw him walking around by the window, he couldn't help frowning: "Master, what's wrong?" But if you have wine, you should let you cook a bowl of decanting soup underneath. ”

"It's fine."

The eldest man coughed and said in a low voice, "I'll tell you...... What do you think of Sister Qiu'er? ”

Qiao raised his eyebrows and said: "Look at what the master said, our sister Qiu is naturally very good, that's my daughter, can it be good?" ”

"I mean, why don't you put her in your name?"

The eldest lord said softly.

Qiao Shi was stunned for a moment: "Why did the master suddenly have this idea, this is not appropriate, it's not that I don't like Sister Qiu, it's just that there are Meifang and them below, Sister Qiu just came to the house, and she was only recorded in my name, which is not beautiful after all." ”

The eldest lord was silent for a moment: "I think that the prince of Youwang may have thoughts about our sister Qiu." ”

Qiao Shi was shocked and said hurriedly: "Master, don't talk nonsense, that's the son of the prince's family, and we can't afford to climb it." ”

The daughter of their family, even if she is a concubine, is married to an ordinary official eunuch as a wife, it is not impossible, but the prince of Youwang is absolutely not.

Youwang is not like other princes in the court, and he also likes to marry the daughters of some ordinary scholars, and the Youwang is a wealthy family for generations, not to mention a concubine in their family, and the concubine is far from qualified.

"Even if Sister Qiu is not recorded in my name, cover her ears and steal the bell, others will not treat her as a concubine, and she still looks ......"

It seems that the identity of the concubine is deliberately mentioned, which is absolutely inappropriate.

The eldest lord was silent for a moment, stroked his beard and smiled, "I'll just mention it, forget it, you're tired after a hard day, I'll go see Brother Mao'er and rest." ”

After saying that, the old man walked away slowly with his hands behind his back.

Qiao's tossed and turned, and he couldn't sleep anymore. (To be continued.) )
