Du Ruo packed his luggage and sat in the bamboo hut and waited for Xuan Qingzhen and others to come over. Although it is early autumn, the bamboo leaves are still verdant, and the breeze blows gently, with some bitter fragrance of bamboo leaves, which makes people feel refreshed. Du Ruo planted some chrysanthemums in front of the bamboo house, picked some petals in his spare time, and boiled them with the morning dew with the newly smoked bamboo leaf shoots, which also added a bit of flavor to the bitter cultivation life in the mountains. is about to go down the mountain to experience, although she is not worried about the unknown road ahead, but she is always a little reluctant to accompany her for five years in the bamboo forest. In a trance, a black figure sneaked into the bamboo house.

"Meow, meow, meow......" is a tanuki cat with a shiny coat.

Du Ruo came back to his senses when he heard the cries of the fat tiger, squatted on the ground and gently stroked its head. She thought that it was impossible for Fat Tiger to find her, but in the third year of her visit to Luofu Sect, Fat Tiger appeared in her bamboo house like an old friend who had not been seen for a long time. Now that she is leaving, although she knows that the tanuki cat in front of her is different from the vulgar cat, she is still more or less worried that it will not have a good place to go.

Fat Tiger seemed to read her inner thoughts, meowed, jumped onto the bamboo chair, and gently scratched the cloth bag hanging on the back of the chair with his paws. This cloth bag seems ordinary, but it is also a treasure, there seems to be a lot of space inside, Du Ruo once put a whole tree of wild fruits in it and did not fill it. Du Ruo saw that the fat tiger kept scratching the cloth bag, so he asked it tentatively: "You mean to let me hide you in this cloth bag and take you down the mountain to practice together?"

"Meow" replied to Du Ruo with an affirmative cat meow.

Seeing that it was so clever, Du Ruo smiled and nodded, and said, "That's fine, but you are not allowed to make trouble, if there is danger in this trip, you can hide in the cloth bag obediently, and remember not to let the senior brothers find you." ”

"Meow" The fat tiger screamed a little impatiently, as if to say that he was relieved, so he jumped into the cloth bag and fell asleep.

When Chongyuan and Chongshan came to the bamboo house, it was already twilight, and the golden glow was sprinkled on the bamboo forest, adding a bit of leisure. Chongyuan hadn't seen Du Ruo for a long time, and the last time he saw her was two years ago at the worship ceremony when Master Zu ascended for a thousand years. The two didn't speak at that time, and he just glanced at her secretly a few times through a few senior brothers. Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little cramped and uneasy, how to talk to Du Ruo for a while?

While thinking about it, he and Chongshan had already walked to the bamboo house. Du Ruo set up a small formation at the edge of the bamboo forest, if someone entered the bamboo forest, she would be sensitive, so since the two of them entered the bamboo forest, she waited in front of the bamboo house.

I haven't seen him for two years, Du Ruo's appearance is more and more beautiful, and he has a posthumous and independent temperament, for some reason, Chongyuan suddenly became a little nervous, he was afraid that he would say the wrong thing and surprise Du Ruo. However, Du Ruo obviously couldn't guess Chongyuan's thoughts, so he just saluted the two of them as usual, and said, "The two senior brothers haven't seen each other for a long time. ”

Seeing her so polite, Chongyuan felt a little disappointed, and returned a salute and said, "Senior sister, don't come to harm." ”

Du Ruo nodded and said, "When are we leaving?"

Chongyuan looked around and replied, "If the junior sister has already packed her luggage, she can set off, and she should be able to reach Qiandeng Town before dark when she drives Yunxi." ”

Du Ruo said: "I have already packed my bags and will leave immediately." ”

With that, the three of them made a trick, summoned three clouds, and flew westward.

Du Ruo wore a plain green robe today, and his waist-length long hair was tied in a bun at will, although it was simple but it looked free and generous, and when he drove the clouds, his long hair was fluttering, and the corners of his clothes were fluttering, and the sunset was reflected, scorching and scorching, covering the twilight light, seeing this picture, Chongyuan was a little distracted.

Chongshan has never spoken all the way, it's not that he is cold by nature, on the contrary, he is a warm and cheerful person, but he is not familiar with the junior sister next to him, so he seems a little restrained. Seeing that neither of them spoke, he thought of an opportunity to break the silence.

After thinking about it for a while, Chongshan still opened his mouth: "Senior sister, have you ever heard of this Thousand Lights Town?"

Du Ruo was looking at the mountains, rivers and fields below with great interest at the moment, and occasionally passing by a small town, she also felt very novel. Hearing Chongshan's words, she reacted for a long time to say to herself, "I haven't heard it." Have you ever been there?"

Seeing her ask like this, Chongshan opened the conversation box and said: "Speaking of which, this Qiandeng Town is the place where I went down the mountain for the first time, and other senior brothers like to go to the east with rich products, only I think the bitter cold land in the west is interesting." However, this Thousand Lights Town is like an oasis in the desert, a place of bliss in the bitter cold land. The name of the town, as the name suggests, is related to the lamp. All the inhabitants of the town are good at making lanterns, and they can make them for you in any shape you can think of. But that's not the most interesting, the Thousand Lights Festival held every year in Chongyang is fun. Speaking of this, Chongshan's eyes showed a bit of longing, and his tone became a little excited: "During the Thousand Lights Festival, the townspeople will also make a kind of food called noodle tea, which I still remember. ”

Du Ruo thought that the Luofu faction was all stereotypical Taoist priests, but he never thought that there would be such a lively and talkative senior brother, so he immediately had a good impression of him, and replied with a smile: "Then the tired senior brother is a tour guide." ”

It was the first time Chongyuan saw Du Ruo smiling at other senior brothers, and he actually had a slight sour feeling in his heart, saying that the two of them were old acquaintances. Then he said to Chongshan: "It's better to complete the task arranged by the master as soon as possible, and there will be a chance to go to this Thousand Lantern Festival in the future." ”

Chongshan was a little lost, and replied "yes" stupidly and stopped talking. Chongyuan is notoriously boring in Luofu Mountain, always looking serious, and his relationship with everyone in private is not very good. However, among the senior brothers, he has the highest qualifications and is most valued by Xuan Qingzhen, so it is inconvenient for them to say anything.

Du Ruo moved the corners of his mouth slightly, this honest and lovely Chongshan senior brother was a little similar to her former neighbor Xiao Li in Luofu Mountain, simple and straightforward. However, she was a little interested in the Thousand Lights Festival, since her amnesia, she had hardly entered the world, and she rarely even went to the market under Luofu Mountain, let alone this kind of lively festival. Since you want to refine your heart in the red dust, it is not a good choice to go to this Thousand Lights Festival to see. In my heart, I secretly decided to find a chance to watch the Thousand Lights Festival.

The three of them had their own thoughts, and finally arrived at the town of Thousand Lights before the sunset faded and the night shrouded.
