……

Black Tiger Forest, since the black bear was killed by the rest of his life, this forest has no human breath, and the black tiger prohibits humans from stepping into the forest, otherwise they will be killed.

And Gu Chen and Gu Chu, who passed through the Black Tiger Forest and entered the Demon Domain, finally returned.

Walking out of the Black Tiger Forest, the light in the camp tent in the distance was so kind, Gu Chen smiled tiredly and said, "I'm back." ”

Gu Chu also breathed a sigh of relief, these days he accompanied the teacher around the demon domain, his spirit was tense, if it weren't for his strong ability to save his life, the two of them would be afraid that it would be difficult to come back.

But having said that, the purpose of this trip has been achieved, and the Three Soul Fruits have been found!

"Teacher, what is the use of the three soul fruits? Is it worth the effort of the teacher? Gu Chu asked suspiciously.

He didn't ask much along the way, just because even Gu Chen didn't know if this thing really existed, and now that the Three Soul Fruits had been found, and they had returned to the Human Domain, the doubts in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

"The Three Soul Fruits grow in places where yin and yang alternate, which can divide the soul into three, and they do not interfere with each other's cause and effect." Gu Chen said.

Gu Chu's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "This, isn't that the ability to make people have a clone?" ”

"Yes, it is the ability of the doppelganger, and there is no causal connection between each body, so the deduction is broken." Gu Chen said.

"Then if these three soul fruits can be planted, my human domain will definitely be able to prosper!" Gu Chu said excitedly, he could already imagine the prosperous world in the future.

"Species? What, you still want to eat? Gu Chen snorted lightly and looked at Gu Chu strangely.

"Isn't the teacher looking for these three soul fruits to study the cultivation method?" Gu Chu was stunned, he didn't believe that the teacher didn't know the benefits of popularizing the Three Soul Fruits.

"Use your brain to think about it, such an unnatural fruit is equivalent to giving you two more lives, not to mention the complexity of its growth environment, do you really think this thing can be eaten casually?" Gu Chen sneered.

"Please ask the teacher for advice." Gu Chu's heart was awe-inspiring.

"When you were studying Wenxi, I taught you that there is a certain balance in the existence of anything, and the hunters of the Cursed Land can easily gain power, and even those phantom hunters can go from an ordinary mortal overnight to a strong man who can rival the monarch, and the price of this is their lives, including souls, including bodies, they can no longer be regarded as human beings."

"And we practice natural energy and gain evolution, which is in line with the way of heaven, although it is slow, but we are human beings, and we have the essence of human beings."

"These three soul fruits are so rebellious, they can give you two more lives, on the contrary, the price is so great, do you want to get it?"

Gu Chen said slowly, without looking at the ushered Iron Wolf Army, he walked towards the distance alone, after staying in the Demon Domain for so long, what he wanted to see most was the fireworks of the mortal world.

Seeing that the teacher didn't go to the camp, Gu Chu hurriedly waved back the Iron Wolf Army, followed the teacher's footsteps, and asked worriedly, "Teacher, what is the price of these three soul fruits?" ”

To be able to have two more lives, no one can resist this temptation, if he can, he would love to try.

"The price is the two lives of your own flesh and blood, isn't it fair to exchange your life for your life?" Gu Chen said, and glanced at Gu Chu playfully, "I heard that you still have a few children at home, do you want to try it?" ”

“…… cough, the teacher laughed, "Gu Chu smiled awkwardly, his desire for the Three Soul Fruit dropped to the freezing point, he is not a cold-blooded person, he can't do this kind of beastly thing by exchanging his children's lives for his own lives.

It's just that if the price of the Three Soul Fruits is so great, what is the teacher looking for this thing for? Gu Chu thought of this and asked again.

Gu Chen thought about it, and felt that there was no need to hide it, Gu Chu was his student and the deputy military commander of Jinfeng City, of course he could be trusted.

"Remember the war ten years ago?" Gu Chen asked.

Gu Chu's face froze, there were many casualties in the human domain in the war ten years ago, how could he forget?

"Just remember, what if the culprit who caused that war ate the Three Soul Fruit and didn't die? What do you think will happen next? A melancholy appeared on Gu Chen's old-fashioned face, the war has been over for ten years, and ten years are not short, but will hatred really disappear with the passage of time?

Gu Chu's footsteps paused, and his throat trembled and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and the teacher's back pulled in the sunset, covering the sunlight in front of him.

……

In Huangli Town, when night comes, the streets that are usually rarely pedestrianized are brightly lit, and the residents of the town go out of their homes, talking and laughing, their faces are full of joy and anticipation.

Today is the anniversary of the establishment of Huangli Town for many years, and every year on this day, a grand lantern festival will be held, which was originally to remember the long history, but gradually, it has become a group of young men and women meeting day, also known as the Mandarin Duck Meeting.

Gu Chen walked on the street, the prosperity shown by Huang Li Town made him happy, and he who had paid countless efforts for the human domain liked this scene the most, which meant that his efforts were not in vain, and the people were living well.

"My lord, today is the lantern festival in the town, so it seems to be more lively, and I usually rest." Wang Zhenshou stood behind Gu Chu and looked at Gu Chen cautiously.

He didn't know Gu Chen, but he dared to ask Gu Chen's identity when he was guarding the town, but Gu Chu he had met a few times, and the one who could be accompanied by the Iron Wolf Deputy Army Commander must be a big man.

"Festival of Lights?" Gu Chen looked at Wang Zhenshou and asked about the origin of this festival, and couldn't help but be a little more interested.

"Teacher, this Huangli Town's Lantern Festival is very famous, even Lord Lin has been here a few times, how about we go and see?" Gu Chu saw Gu Chen's intentions and hurriedly said.

"Lin Xiu has also been there? Then I'll want to see it even more, so let's lead the way. Gu Chen's eyes were surprised, Lin Xiu was a rare genius in the human realm, the Marquis of the Pavilion who was personally sealed by the monarch, that vision was very high, and the Lantern Festival that he could watch a few times must be different.

Wang Zhenshou agreed, and hurriedly led the way, thinking about the identity of Gu Chen, Gu Chu's teacher? It should be someone from the King's Academy, but I don't know which one this is?

……

Speaking of Yujing Garden, no one in Huangli Town will not know, because every year the Lantern Festival will be held in Yujing Garden.

Lanterns of various shapes are lit and hung high on the branches, and under the trees are jubilant business owners, who love the festival and make it difficult for them to cry because of the huge profits of the night.

Yu Sheng took Chen Xiaolan through the garden, and the slightly dense crowd gave him an extra jade hand on his sleeve and dragged him tightly.

"Xiaolan, which lantern do you want, I'll buy it for you." Yu Sheng turned around and asked.

"Huh?" Chen Xiaolan looked flustered, she didn't know what she was thinking when she went out with the opposite sex for the first time.

I don't know if it's an illusion or what, Chen Xiaolan felt that the people around her were looking at her, and that gaze made her palms sweat a layer of fine sweat, very nervous.

"What do you think of this?" Yu Sheng's eyes turned, and suddenly his eyes were certain, and on a branch, there was a big red bird lantern, whose wings spread out as if soaring in the air.

Yu Sheng felt that this lantern was very suitable, especially the sad and resolute meaning in the eyes of the big bird, which was vividly expressed by the painter who portrayed it.

Inexplicably, a word flashed in my head, very kind, and a little sad.

Gardenia.
