After watching Lin Xue's skillful operation of the puppet, Guo Jia felt that the puppet was too powerful, and he regretted why he didn't ask for one from Huo Nizi's predecessor at that time.

Lin Xue stood stupidly and was puzzled by Lin Zheng's laughter when a voice sounded in her ears.

"Master, what are you thinking?" Guo Jia happily ran to Lin Xue's side, stretched out his hand in front of her and panicked.

"It's nothing," Lin Xue responded.

Suddenly, Lin Xue was excited, she hurriedly looked at Guo Jia and said, "You can't call me Master in the future, you are from the Jindan period, I am just in the enlightenment period, if you wait for you to recover your memory and trouble me, it will not be good." ”

"No, you're so good to me, I can't repay you, how can I trouble you." Guo Jia hurriedly said.

"Anyway, you can't call Master now, you can call me Xue'er in the future, and I'll call you Haiyun." Lin Xue looked at Guo Jia with a serious expression.

"Okay." Guo Jia responded.

"By the way, I heard your grandfather say just now that you are going back to the imperial capital." Guo Jia said.

"Well, we'll go back to Dijing tomorrow, I've already told my grandfather, he promised to help you recover your memory, you can go back with us tomorrow."

Guo Jia thought about it, if he went to Dijing with Lin Xue like this, then Uncle Niu and Uncle Hai might be worried, he decided to go back to the village first and settle down before going to Dijing, so he said: "I want to go back first, and I'll come to you when I arrange the affairs of the village." ”

"Then when are you leaving?" Lin Xue asked.

Guo Jia thought for a while, and felt that it was better to go back as soon as possible, so he said: "I'll leave today, so that I can go to the imperial capital to find you earlier." ”

"Then be careful on the road, I'll wait for you in the imperial capital." Lin Xue said with some reluctance.

"Well, rest assured, I'll take care of myself." Guo Jia gave Lin Xue a reassuring look and said.

Then Lin Xue took Guo Jia to say goodbye to everyone one by one, and Lin Zheng gave him a token and told him that he could enter the Lin family with this token at that time.

After Guo Jia left the camp, he flew towards the outside of Cangmu Mountain, but when he flew to a valley, he found that his spiritual power consumption was much greater than usual, and the scope of divine sense exploration was also shrinking, and the fog in the mountain was getting bigger and bigger.

Along the way, Guo Jia cultivated as soon as he had time, and collected all kinds of rare herbs, and occasionally killed a few fierce beasts, since Guo Jia began to practice the "Xuantian Secret Record", after this period of adaptation, he has been able to skillfully control his cultivation in the Jindan period.

Guo Jia found that there were a lot of beasts on the way back this time, not as pitiful as when he came in, and there were some demon beasts, although July and August had passed, and Cangmu Mountain had a greater impact on the monks, but Guo Jia was not very affected, he relied on his strong physique to constantly sharpen and improve his actual combat experience in the cruel fighting.

One morning Guo Jia was practicing by a small lake, suddenly the lake began to rise and slowly flooded his feet, Guo Jia hurriedly got up, looking at the slowly rising water level Guo Jia was puzzled, today's weather is very clear, only occasionally there will be a wisp of breeze blowing.

Guo Jia thought to himself: "It's a good weather and it's not raining, how can the water level suddenly rise." Just as he was wondering, a whirlpool suddenly appeared in the middle of the lake, and then a huge stone statue emerged from the water and stood silently in the water.

I saw that the stone statue was very huge, about ten meters high, it was an old man wearing a Taoist robe, his right hand was behind his back, his left hand was placed on his chest, and he seemed to be holding a bead, his face was cold, and his eyes were fierce to look at the bead in his hand.

The bead emitted a strong red light, reflecting the entire lake in red, the surrounding spiritual power seemed to be violent, frantically converging towards the bead, and the trees around him began to wither at a speed visible to the naked eye, Guo Jia felt that the spiritual power in his body seemed to be pulled by a mysterious force and was about to leave his body, and he hurriedly ran his cultivation to suppress it.

Slowly, the light of the beads disappeared, and the strange power also disappeared, Guo Jia looked around and found that the towering trees and strange flowers and plants on the ground within a mile of Yansheng by the lake had all withered, and there was no life at all.

Guo Jia looked at everything in front of him in shock as if it was a dream, he pinched himself hard, and the pain made him know that all this was not a dream, it was a real thing.

The stone statue in front of him was still standing quietly in the lake, but the bead had become very small, and if it weren't for the fact that it still emitted a little red light, Guo Jia would have thought it had disappeared.

Just as Guo Jia was quietly observing the stone statue, a noisy voice suddenly came from a distance, and Guo Jia immediately found a hidden place to hide.

A group of people appeared in Guo Jia's field of vision, about twenty people, they were divided into two formations, guarding each other and walking towards the lake.

A few familiar faces of Guo Jia appeared in one of the plastic surgeries, they are the Ghost Gate Shuangsha and the Ghost Dance Demon Queen, it seems that the injuries of several of them seem to have healed, Guo Jia thinks that they should be the forces of the Demon Sect, and the opposite ones think that they are the people of the major families in the imperial capital, but the Lin family is not visible among them.

The people of the two lineups who came to the lake were all glaring angrily, as if they were about to fight as soon as there was a stir, the atmosphere was extremely tense, and the air seemed to be frozen.

A tall white-haired old man in a tunic at the head of the Dijing family looked at the untraceable beads in the stone statue's hand and said: "Everyone, no one knows what danger there will be in the world, presumably everyone doesn't want to consume strength in advance, so let's put aside our grudges and explore the treasure together." ”

Everyone nodded in unison after hearing the old man's words, and then they all began to observe the lake and the statue in front of them.

The water of the lake is very strange, at first glance the lake water is very clear, but on closer inspection, you find that you can't see anything below the surface of the lake.

None of them acted rashly, they all had their own evil intentions, and they felt the danger of the strange phenomena around them and the lake in front of them, so they all wanted others to try the water first, and then pick up the cheapest.

In this way, everyone observed quietly, time passed slowly, and finally someone in the Demon Sect couldn't help but come out, his body was thin, his face was obscene, and he looked like a person who was overly drunk.

He smiled lewdly and said, "Since you don't want to risk your lives, then let me come, and when I can wait for the baby, I will definitely greet the beautiful girls of your several major families in the imperial capital." ”

Several major families were furious and were about to step forward to attack him, but the old man who spoke at the beginning hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Wang Lin, you prostitution, don't use your tongue, I will let you go for the sake of treasures today, but I am afraid that you will not be able to get back." ”

"Hmph, the first strike is stronger, then I'll go first." After speaking, Wang Lin flew towards the stone statue, but when he flew into the lake for more than ten meters, he suddenly fell into the lake and had no life.

Seeing this strange scene, everyone was shocked, that Wang Lin was a cultivator in the late stage of enlightenment, and he fell into the lake and disappeared without even making a sound when he entered the lake.
