When Wu Chen slowly opened his heavy eyes, he found that he was soaked in a large wooden barrel, to be precise, soaked in a large barrel filled with various flowers and herbs, a strong and pungent smell of Chinese medicine entered Wu Chen's mouth and nose, Wu Chen did not feel any discomfort, on the contrary, inhaled those pungent Chinese medicine smells, Wu Chen felt that there was a burst of comfort in his body.

The soles of the feet that touched the wooden barrel kept coming from the burning heat, and the water temperature in the wooden barrel was getting higher and higher, coupled with the continuous sound of "zila, zila!" in his ears, Wu Chen secretly thought: Could it be someone who used me to make soup!

Wu Chen was trying to recall the memory of how he came here from his mind, and found that the picture in his mind was only staying, Lu Feng raised his sword and slashed at himself, feeling a pain in his mind, Wu Chen shook his head, and didn't think about it anymore.

At this moment, Wu Chen found that as long as he moved, there would be tearing pain in every place in his body, clenching his teeth, enduring the huge pain, Wu Chen held on to the wall of the barrel and slowly stood up.

Looking around, he found that he seemed to be in a dark stone cave surrounded by walls on three sides, Wu Chen turned his head, towards the side with light, slowly raised his right hand, covering the front of his eyes, his index finger and middle finger opened a gap slightly, half-squinted, and looked out of the cave.

I saw that there was an endless blue sky in front of me, looking down, a pool of endless blue water came into view, and occasionally birds swept by, setting off a little wave, when Wu Chen looked carefully again, he found that the lake was very blue, as if a whole piece of the sky was removed.

There must be demons in everything.

"That's not right!" Wu Chen put down his right hand, his eyes widened and looked at the unknown lake in front of him, he always felt that he had seen it there, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Bang!" was the sound of wood falling to the rocky ground.

"I'm tired of Lao Tzu!" a clear voice followed.

Wu Chen came back to his senses, turned his head to look at the sound, and saw an old man in linen clothes, bending down to hold a pile of unknown wood, and throwing it towards the inside of the stone cave, where there was already a layer of wood.

Another "clang, clang!" came out.

After throwing the wood in his hand, the old man in sackcloth clapped his hands with satisfaction, as if he also felt Wu Chen's peeping, and suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of Wu Chen.

With a "plop", Wu Chen, who was caught off guard, saw the old man's face, and suddenly fell into the barrel again.

"Oops" Wu Chen rubbed himself and hit his waist on the barrel again, and he felt pain for a while, and couldn't help but cry out.

"Yo, you kid, wake up pretty quickly, that's right, you've wasted so many good things, if you don't wake up, you'll want to throw you directly into the lake." The old man in Mai, the sound of chuckling came into Wu Chen's ears.

"Hospital...... Dean, why am I here?"

Wu Chen didn't try to stand up again, he was directly in the huge wooden barrel and said to the old man in Mai.

"Haha! Yes, yes, it doesn't seem to be stupid, I know that I am still a student of the Heavenly Dao Academy, and Lao Tzu is your dean. ”

Wu Chen's head was full of black lines, and for the first time, he doubted whether the person next to him, who was Lao Tzu, was the dean of the Heavenly Dao Academy.

Wu Chen, who was soaking in the wooden barrel, seemed to hear that the old man in Mai was throwing something under the wooden barrel, and after a while, the touch of getting hotter and hotter on the soles of his feet came, could it be ......

With a plop, Wu Chen couldn't care about the pain on his body, and hurriedly climbed up against the wall of the barrel.

As expected, the old man Mai, who is his dean, is holding a large handful of wood in one hand, and the other hand is useless, holding a wooden stick, and is going to the big wooden barrel, a stove-like, constantly swallowing sparks in a pit, constantly delivering, and from time to time using a wooden stick, stirring up a large number of sparks in the fire hole.

The old man in front of the stove pit, half-squatting, had a big smile on his orange face imprinted by the firelight, revealing two rows of white and shiny teeth.

As if sensing Wu Chen, the old man in Mai turned his head, looked at Wu Chen, and said angrily: "Why did you kid get up again? Do you know how precious these medicinal materials are Lao Tzu?"

However, looking at Wu Chen's appearance, the old man who was more sophisticated than the world guessed my Wu Chen's thoughts in an instant, and said with a smile: "Hehe! Just your two taels of meat, it's not enough to stuff Lao Tzu's teeth, you kid can rest assured, even if you want to stew, Lao Tzu won't stew you." ”

Wu Chen had no choice but to pull the corners of his mouth far-fetched, gave the old man a smile that was not too ugly, and obediently sat down in the huge wooden barrel again.

"These herbs must be constantly heated in order to exert their medicinal properties as soon as possible, so that your body can absorb them faster and recover faster. ”

The old man in sackcloth finished speaking, and there was a brief silence in the stone cave.

After a while, the deep voice of the old man in Mai came again: "Actually, there are still certain side effects for you to speed up absorption, but boy, if you don't recover your body in the past few days, you will miss a lot of interesting things!"

Wu Chen in the wooden barrel was also puzzled, and asked curiously: "What's the matter?"

"Hehe, don't you kid know?"

Wu Chen was even more puzzled, so he stopped talking.

The old man in Mai seemed to notice that Wu Chen was straight, and said suspiciously: "You kid don't know? Then what did you run here that day? If the old man hadn't found out quickly, he would have really let you slip away." ”

Wu Chen, who was in the wooden barrel, suddenly remembered, no wonder when he saw the old man Mai for the first time, he felt that the other party was a little familiar, and he had a sense of déjà vu, it turned out that the old man in Mai next to him was the powerful aura that scared him away that day, no wonder, no wonder.

Also, the voice when he competed with Zhong Wuji seemed to be the one next to him.

Wu Chen was shocked into a cold sweat for the first time, thinking that he was doing it seamlessly, but he didn't expect to be discovered a long time ago, but he didn't want to puncture it.

Suddenly, another thought came to Wu Chen's mind, no wonder the lake he saw just now was familiar, it turned out to be the Xuanhu Lake he saw that night, but he saw it at night, and he was frightened by the old man's breath, so he didn't recognize it for a while, since the lake he saw just now was Xuanhu, so could it be ......

Wu Chen hurriedly shouted to the old man in Mai who was still adding firewood: "Dean......!

"Hehe, I didn't expect you kid to find out! That's right, this is Xuanhu Lake, more precisely, we are in the middle of Xuanhu Lake now. ”

"Could this be the island in the lake?" Wu Chen asked uncertainly.

"If there is nothing else in Xuanhu that I don't know, then this is it, after all, there is only such a small island in the entire Xuanhu Lake. ”
