On the second day, Du Ruo woke up early in the morning. Fat Tiger somehow ran out of the sack by himself, meowing around her calves. Du Ruo thought it was hungry, so he searched for it, in addition to some chestnuts and walnuts in the cloth bag, it was some wild fruits, Du Ruo took a few wild fruits out, a little helpless, his own master was a little too incompetent, and he never seriously prepared a meal for it. Chose a wild apple, she tentatively put it in front of the fat tiger's mouth, originally not hopeful, but the fat tiger seemed to eat this set very much, and ate an apple in two or three bites, not even letting go of the core. Du Ruo was a little dumbfounded, it was the first time she had seen a cat eating wild fruits, could it have been like this in Luofu Mountain all these years?

The fat tiger ate a few wild fruits in a row, its belly was more rounded, and after simply licking its fur, it went back to sleep in the cloth bag. Du Ruo smiled and simply freshened up.

When she left the room, Chongyuan and Chongshan were already waiting for her. The uncle was preparing breakfast for the three of them. Du Ruo nodded at the two of them, which was regarded as a greeting.

Chongyuan wanted to ask Du Ruo how he slept last night, but he was a little embarrassed to speak. Chongshan, who was sitting on the side, opened his mouth first: "How did my sister sleep last night?"

Du Ruo said: "It's not bad, it's almost the same as the bamboo bed in Luofu Mountain." ”

Chongshan used his afterglow to sweep Chongyuan, who was not smiling, and his tone was a little joking: "Senior Brother Chongyuan has been insomnia all night. ”

Chongyuan was a little embarrassed, and pretended to be calm: "I'm just faintly worried about our trip, after all, that Yihu Lake is not an ordinary place. ”

According to other senior brothers, when Chongyuan first went to Luofu Mountain, he didn't sleep for half a year, and it was only later that Xuan Qingzhen asked for an old quilt from his home before he became a monk, and his insomnia slowly improved. But since he said so, Chongshan didn't want to make fun of him anymore, "Anyway, sooner or later, you don't have to worry, senior brother, it's better to stay in this town for a few more days, it's best to set off after the Thousand Lights Festival, that's right," Chongshan turned to Du Ruo, his eyes were a little more bright, and his tone became a little wistful: "Every year on the Thousand Lights Festival, an unmarried woman will be selected as the sky lantern fairy at the Lantern Festival, and the day lantern fairy is wearing a colorful dress and skirt, tsk, as beautiful as the legendary fairy, no, more beautiful than a fairy." ”

Du Ruo was a little speechless, this Chongshan senior brother was not only a little greedy, but also a little lustful, but compared with other old-fashioned and serious Taoist priests of the Luofu faction, it seemed more humane. Du Ruo said with a smile: "I'm afraid this Thousand Lights Festival can't be missed." ”

Chongshan listened to Du Ruo's words, secretly glanced at Chongyuan, and immediately echoed: "Yes, yes, senior sister, let me tell you, if you go to choose the Heavenly Lantern Fairy, it must be, it must be..." ”

While talking and laughing, the uncle had already prepared breakfast and carefully brought it in. Hearing Chongshan's words, he immediately put down the dinner plate, waved his hand vigorously, and his tone was a little anxious: "Can't go, can't go, the lantern fairy can't choose." ”

"Why?" Chongyuan saw that his uncle was so flustered, and his curiosity suddenly came up.

"Alas" Uncle sighed, sat down and said: "Two years ago, a mountain god came to Yaoguang Mountain in the west of Qiandeng Town, and he gave everyone in the town a dream, so that the town would send the Sky Lantern Fairy to Yaoguang Mountain every year when the Thousand Lights Festival was held, and he would turn her into a real fairy, but soon... Soon..."A trace of fear appeared on the uncle's face, and he paused before continuing: "Not long after, some townspeople found an unrecognizable corpse that had been eaten under the mountain stream of Yaoguang Mountain, and the clothes on the corpse were the flowing fairy skirt of the Sky Lantern Fairy. So the lantern fairy can't be chosen, in the past two years, everyone in the town who has a daughter has sent their children away, and this year's lantern fairy has not been selected. Alas, what iniquity is created!"

"I'll go", Du Ruo said lightly.

"No!" Before the uncle refused, Chongyuan refused first. Realizing that he was a little out of shape, he slowly explained: "Before leaving, Master repeatedly told you to protect your safety, if something happens, how should I explain?"

"Senior brother, don't worry, how can I ignore my own safety, Chongyu is measured, and besides, the purpose of the master sending me down the mountain is precisely to experience, this is a good time. Du Ruo replied.

"I don't agree, this is too risky, we don't even know the details of the mountain god, if it is a powerful opponent, wouldn't it be more auspicious?" Although Du Ruo said a little bit of truth, Chongyuan was still worried, if something happened to her, he would not be able to forgive himself.

After Chongyuan finished speaking, Chongshan also stood up and said, "I don't agree either, Senior Brother is right, this is too risky, besides, Chongyu's cultivation is the lowest among the three of us, so I can't let you take this risk no matter what." ”

The uncle had seen Chongshan's supernatural powers a few years ago, and knew that the three people in front of him were extraordinary people, but he was not willing to take risks with his benefactor. So he said: "This mountain god is not like a few mountain wolves a few years ago, he has great magical powers, and he can call the wind and rain." This girl still doesn't want to play with her own life. ”

Seeing that the three of them were so resolute, Du Ruo didn't refute, just sat down, took a bud grain noodle steamed bun from the food plate, and took a bite before speaking, "Let's go out later to understand the situation and then come back to discuss it in the long run, since this matter has been encountered by us, we naturally can't ignore it." ”

A plate of pickles, a plate of bud grain noodles steamed buns, and a big bowl of green vegetable porridge, this breakfast is delicious. When the three of them saw Du Ruo say this, they couldn't refute anything. The four of them had their own thoughts and finished the meal in silence.
