Under a willow tree on the north shore of Yingbo Lake, Xiao Zhuo sat alone on a bluestone, his eyes constantly looking at the lake. Jin Ruo has been away for three days, and Xiao Zhuo will come here every day to wait for her in the past three days, just thinking that Jin Ruo can see him as soon as he comes out, but after three days, Jin Ruo has not heard from him, and there is no movement in Yingbo Lake. But fortunately, in the past three days, nothing special has happened in Yingbo Town, and even the wild cats that used to be seen everywhere are not as many as in the past.

But even so, Xiao Zhuo knew in his heart that although the old cat wanted to blackmail Jinruo through him, the premise of all this must be that he and Jinruo were not the opponents of the old cat, but the old cat didn't expect that he already knew the location of Dongshan Lake, and now that Jinruo has returned to Dongshan Lake, although he may be restricted, but the situation in Yingbo Town will definitely tell Mingxin, and Mingxin, as the local god of Yingbo Town, will definitely come out to face Fu Lao Mao. That's why the old cat didn't dare to come out to make trouble these days.

However, this is also the most puzzling place for Xiao Zhuo, the old cat has been here for more than 700 years, how can Mingxin, as a local god, let the old cat go all the time? And now that Mingxin knows about the old cat's troubles here, why hasn't he made a move, or has it been solved, it's just the spirit clan's way of doing things, and he can't find out? Xiao Zhuo looked at the wild cats on the road, and his heart was uncertain, he had also walked around the town a few times in the past three days, but Gu Jian had not reacted, which showed that the cats that appeared in the town now were just ordinary cats.

The chaos in his heart, coupled with the situation of thinking about Jinruo, Xiao Zhuo's heart was even more troubled, and he couldn't help but punch the trunk of the tree casually, but it happened to hit the insect-eaten place, and he was stained with a hand, so he had to go to the shore to clean it.

To say that Yingbo Lake is indeed just like the name, the lake is rippling, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds in the sky, and there are weeping willows around the shore, which can be said to be an excellent scenery, especially the lake is also planted with a circle of lotus flowers, every summer after the rain, it will attract pedestrians to stop and watch frequently.

Xiao Zhuo walked to the shore, opened the lotus leaf casually, and was about to reach out to touch the lake, but suddenly found that in the lake, there was a golden carp wandering, Xiao Zhuo was overjoyed, and just leaned over to distinguish whether it was Jinruo, only to see the golden carp suddenly swim up, and when the fish head broke through the water, a jade arm suddenly stretched out from the water, hooked his neck, and dragged him into the water.

"Help!" When the golden carp fell into the water again, it also made this cry for help, Xiao Zhuo listened to this voice, who was it not Jinruo!

Help me? Jin Ruo is obviously an aquarium, what is shouting for help in the water? Xiao Zhuo was wondering to himself, Jin Ruo had dragged him to the bottom of the deep lake. Xiao Zhuo was dragged into the water in a hurry, and he didn't come to inhale at all, even if the water was good, he couldn't hold it when he sank to the bottom.

"Help me up!"

Jin Ruo said this to him in the water, but he didn't have time to think about Jin Ruo's intentions, he just kept pointing to his mouth, and if he didn't go up, he would drown!

Fortunately, Jin Ruo finally understood what he meant, and immediately came over, and then in Xiao Zhuo's surprise, he imprinted his lips on Xiao Zhuo's lips, and then the two of them floated to the water.

As soon as he surfaced, Xiao Zhuo hurriedly looked around for Jinruo, but Jinruo, who he thought had turned back into a carp and hidden, was lying lifeless in his arms. At this time, the riverbank was no longer as cold as when he entered the water, and many passers-by gathered on the bank in twos and threes, obviously attracted by Jin Ruo's "help". Now some of these people point fingers at him, and some say that he is a good offspring, and they all regard him as a person who went into the water to save people.

Xiao Zhuo really wanted to defend himself at the moment, but after thinking about it carefully, how could he say it clearly. First, Jin Ruo was lying unconscious in his arms, although he knew that Jin Ruo was pretending, but he couldn't break it; Second, these people were attracted by Jin Ruo's "help", if he was the victim, I'm afraid few people would believe it; Third, the reason why Jin Ruo did this, I am afraid that there is some special intention, he didn't have time to think about it just now, and now that he thinks of this, he hurriedly holds Jin Ruo and steps on the shore of the lake.

"Girl! Wake up, are you alright? Xiao Zhuo half-knelt on the ground, his left hand supporting Jin Ruo's body, and his right hand kept slapping Jin Ruo's back, although this kind of action was useless, but Jin Ruo's coma was also fake, he just followed the pretense. And Jin Ruo was also very cooperative, spitting out two mouthfuls of lake water.

"Thanks to the rescue of the child, please bow to the little girl!" Jin Ruo said while struggling to thank Xiao Zhuo, but the clothes on her body were already soaked, not to mention the heavy trouble on her body, under a few movements, the curve of Jin Ruo's body was undoubtedly exposed, and Xiao Zhuo was so shocked that she quickly took off her coat and covered her.

"Girl, how did you end up in the water?"

"Yes! Girl, why are you walking alone by the lake! It's too dangerous! ”

"Girl, where is your home? Do you want this boy to send you back? ”

There were constantly voices of concern in the crowd of onlookers, and Jin Ruo, who asked, didn't know how to answer, returning to Xiao Zhuo's side in this way was also her temporary intention, no matter how specific her identity came from, where did she think about it. Seeing that she was being watched by everyone now, and they were all well-intentioned, she really couldn't make up any background stories about falling into the water for a while.

"Folks, this matter is wrong with me, this girl is a friend, we had a dispute just now, I walked too fast, she was in a hurry to chase me before she fell into the water, thank you for your kindness, thank you here!" Xiao Zhuo said, and hurriedly saluted everyone to show his gratitude.

"It turned out that the little couple was making an awkward noise! It's okay! It's okay! It's all gone! In the crowd, an old man shouted to everyone, and everyone saw that it was okay and went to their own homes. On the contrary, the old man turned to Xiao Zhuo again and said: "Young man, you can't do this next time, no matter how you say it, it's your daughter-in-law, how can you be angry and don't care!" Go back and persuade well! ”

"We're not married yet!" Jin Ruo snuggled in Xiao Zhuo's arms, and her face was rarely a little flushed.

"Oh! This one...... Look at my eyes, the little girl hasn't put on her bun yet! I'm sorry, little old man left first! As he walked, the old man kept gesturing to Xiao Zhuo, obviously liking this little couple.

When the old man walked away, Xiao Zhuo looked at Jin Ruo in his arms, and didn't say anything anymore, just stood up at the same time, and at the same time, his other hand copied Jin Ruo's legs, picked her up and left.

"Xiao Zhuo, let me down, they're all human!" Jin Ruo had already buried his head deeper when he spoke, how could he have the meaning of thinking about it.

"Lady! The husband shouldn't have left you just now, so the husband will take you home. Xiao Zhuo didn't care what others thought of him, so he picked up Jin Ruo and picked up the ancient sword and walked towards Yan's house.

Xiao Zhuo said that he wanted to take Jinruo back to Yan's house, but when he was about to arrive at Yan's house, he still found a place where no one was there and put Jinruo down, after all, some things must be explained clearly first, otherwise Yan Qingyuan and his wife and Yan Ying would definitely be surprised when they saw Jinruo. Moreover, he also wanted to know what was going on with Jinruo's play today.

"Say it! What's going on? Although Xiao Zhuo put Jin Ruo down, he didn't give her freedom, and still held her firmly in his arms.

"It's nothing, it's just that Sister Mingxin doesn't have a suitable reason to deal with the old cat, so let me come out to be bait." Jin Ruo looked down at the hand of the man behind her, held his hand and wrapped it around her waist, did not struggle, and slowly began to explain the whole story.

After Jin Ruo returned to Dongshan Lake, he did tell Mingxin about Yingbo Town, but Mingxin did not deal with the old cat immediately after going ashore to investigate, because there was no evidence that the old cat was harmful. Because according to the laws of the Heavenly Court, if there is a demon in the lower realm, it needs to be prayed by many mortals, or by the people in the Dao Gate to open the altar and ask for the table, so that the gods can know that this place needs the help of the gods, and then ask the Jade Emperor or hand it over to the judicial gods to deal with, and then the heavenly court will inform the local gods to solve the problems for the people. Therefore, local gods rarely dare to directly kill demons and eliminate demons, unless there is clear evidence that demons are harming the heavens, they can directly correct the law on the spot without waiting for the heavens to send a decree. It's just that the monsters that need to be surrendered by the decree of the heavenly court are basically not something that the local gods can deal with.

And although the old cat has been in Yingbo Town for more than seven hundred years, he has not done anything to cause resentment among the people, even if he cultivates with the method of devouring spirits, he only does it after the death of mortals. Even the children who were used to supplement their cultivation before were made to die accidentally, and the child's parents did not realize that it was a monster, so naturally they would not pray to the heavens and cry out for injustice. And after devouring the soul, the mutilated mortal soul was detained by the ghost, and the matter was handled by the Yin Si Yama Palace, and Mingxin couldn't intervene, as for whether the Yin Si noticed it, who knows!

"That's not right! Isn't it a contradiction that you need to issue a decree to get rid of demons, and you can find evidence to directly correct the law on the spot? Xiao Zhuo listened to what Jin Ruo said and noticed something unreasonable.

"There are some contradictions, but you can't blame the local gods, because some monsters can be reformed by the gods, but the appearance of the demons can't be changed, and this kind of monsters are changing from demons to spirits, so they can't be killed, otherwise those immortals will have no mounts." Jin Ruo explained a lot of words that she felt embarrassed to speak, and she didn't know if Xiao Zhuo could understand it.

"In other words, most of those who need the decree of the heavenly court have been subdued and taken away by the immortals. Those who rectify the Fa on the spot are all unsuccessful and do nonsense, right? Xiao Zhuo finally understood the various reasons.

"It seems like this, what life and death is just a reincarnation or something, those things of Taoism, I sound like a big head, anyway, Sister Mingxin can't get rid of the old cat directly, and she must find evidence that the old cat is against the way of heaven." Jin Ruo withdrew his hands, tore off Xiao Zhuo's robe on his body, and turned around to put it on Xiao Zhuo again.

"I can't bear the child and can't trap the wolf, this method is not bad! But why haven't you come out in the past three days? I...... Miss you! ”

Jin Ruo's hand helping Xiao Zhuo straighten his robe stopped on Xiao Zhuo's shoulder, although she and Xiao Zhuo had already expressed their hearts to each other, they were still overjoyed by these two simple words. Standing on tiptoe, Jin Ruo stretched out his hands and clasped Xiao Zhuo's neck, and even though there were still people around him, his lips were still printed without hesitation.
