The woman in red stood up and walked slowly to the window, she looked out of the window, and the whole person looked lonely and melancholy.

Wu Wei also stood up and walked behind her, comforting: "Actually, sometimes it's a good thing to be able to forget, haven't you heard your story now?" It's not a good memory, and now that you know it, there's no need to remember it with empathy. ”

The woman in red still stared blankly out of the window, and after a long silence, she muttered, "In the future, call me Yuanmeng, if you have a name, you can at least feel that you are still alive." ”

may be because he saw the past of Yuanmeng in the dream, Wu Wei is looking at her now, and he can still feel a kind of pity and helplessness from her, although Wu Wei also knows that this Yuanmeng in front of him has already become a female girl that no one can hurt anymore.

Wu Wei said to her: "Then I will call you Yuanmeng in the future, if you don't mind, you can also treat me as a friend." ”

"Friends?" After Wu Wei finished speaking, Yuan Meng turned his head and looked at Wu Wu Wu expressionlessly, and said faintly: "You are not my friend, I told you, you lifted my hijab and it is my person, have you forgotten?" ”

After Yuan Meng asked, Wu Wei immediately felt a cold pressure, how dare he say that he forgot, he quickly nodded and agreed: "No, I haven't forgotten!" ”

Seeing that Wu Wei was very obedient, Yuan Mengcai looked away again and continued to look out the window. After a few seconds, she suddenly said, "Your boss is back." ”

"Boss?" Wu Wei thought for a while before he realized that Yuan Meng was referring to Lan Muxue, and his heart instantly became nervous. He just wanted to say let Yuanmeng go first, but he didn't dare to say it when the words came to his lips. So he changed his words and said, "Don't hurt her for a while, please!" ”

"Why should I hurt her?" Yuan Meng asked: "She's just your boss, and she has no grudge against me." ”

Wu Wei nodded: "That's good!" In fact, he was mainly afraid that Lan Muxue would lose her temper, and prayed in his heart that the little aunt and grandmother would not be angry and provoke Yuanmeng.

After a while, there was a knock on the door in the living room, and Lan Muxue shouted outside: "Wu Wei opened the door for me, I forgot to take the key!" ”

Wu worriedly responded, walked to the door with apprehension, glanced back at Yuanmeng, and then opened the door nervously.

Lan Muxue glanced at Wu Wei and didn't speak, and walked directly into the living room. Wu Wei hurriedly followed behind her and explained: "She is ......" As a result, the words came to his lips and he was stunned, because the place where Yuanmeng was standing just now was empty.

Wu Wei glanced at the living room, but he didn't see Yuanmeng's figure, and he didn't know when she disappeared.

Lan Muxue sat on the sofa, turned her head to look at Wu Wei and asked, "What are you doing standing there, what did you want to say just now?" ”

Wu Wei came back to his senses and said, "No, I didn't say anything!" ”

Lan Muxue glanced at him and said, "Say whatever you want, what are you nervous about, don't you talk about it today, I'm afraid I'll pester you?" Miss Ben isn't the kind of person who doesn't have self-knowledge! ”

Seeing that Yuanmeng was indeed gone, although I didn't know how she disappeared, but finally put her mind at ease, Wu Wei also walked to the sofa and sat down, and then said to Lan Muxue: "I didn't mean that, you are very good and beautiful, but I am not worthy of you." ”

"Stop!" Lan Muxue stretched out her hand to stop Wu Wei's words, then got up and walked to the stairs: "This matter has been turned over, I don't want to hear this kind of thing again." ”

Saying that, Lan Muxue went upstairs without looking back, Wu Wei looked at her back and sighed, I don't know why this matter was finally put down, why did she still feel like something was blocked in her heart.

Seeing that Lan Muxue had already gone upstairs and returned to her bedroom, Wu Wei searched up and down the house again, but no trace of Yuanmeng was found. Every time Yuanmeng appeared and disappeared, it was like a ghost, but Wu Wei was sure that she was not hiding somewhere in the house, so he also went upstairs and went back to the room. He took a shower, then lay down on the bed, his mind was so confused that he tossed and turned for half a night before he finally fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Wu Wei got up early, and when he went downstairs, he saw Lan Muxue making breakfast in the kitchen.

Wu Wei came to the kitchen door in surprise, looked at Lan Muxue's busy back and asked, "Are you okay?" Why did you get up so early and make breakfast? ”

Lan Muxue replied without replying: "What's strange, I have to get up early in the future, I will stop taking a break from school from today, and I have to go back to school after breakfast!" ”

Wu Wei heard Lan Mingyu say that she was suspended from school, so he asked, "Didn't your father not let you go to school for your safety?" Why did you suddenly go to school again? ”

Lan Muxue put the breakfast on the table and said to Wu Wei: "It's boring at home, it's better to go to school." ”

Saying that, Lan Muxue sat down at the dining table and greeted Wu Wei: "Why are you stunned and don't eat, you have to accompany me to school in a while!" ”

Wu Wei was puzzled: "I'm going too?" I don't go to school! ”

Lan Muxue glanced at him and said, "You have to protect me, I didn't tell you yesterday, you have to protect me in the future, you have to go wherever I go!" ”

Wu Wei hurriedly walked up to her and explained, "But I still have something to do this morning, and Daoist Liu Yue has something to talk about when I find me!" ”

Lan Muxue said: "Then you don't know to ask for leave in advance?" Even if something happens, you have to send me to school safely today! ”

Wu Wei still wanted to refuse, but seeing that Lan Muxue was about to get angry, he had to compromise: "Okay, I'll have to go to Daoist Liu Yue after I send it to school." ”

After breakfast, Wu followed Lan Muxue to help her carry her bag, and then took a taxi to go to school with her.

Lan Muxue went to school at Lucheng University, and it took less than half an hour to take a taxi to the school gate. Lan Muxue didn't let Wu Wei enter the school gate with her, and when she got out of the car, Lan Muxue said, "I'll get out of class at nine o'clock tonight, remember to pick me up again!" After speaking, he took his schoolbag and walked into the school.

After delivering Lan Muxue safely, Wu Wei returned to his residence in the car.

At about ten o'clock in the morning, Liu Yue called him, and said to Wu Wei on the phone: "I can't go to you today, just now I received a call from Yunfeng and them, saying that something happened in the morning when I was investigating the dark river, and I have to rush over immediately." ”

As soon as Wu Wei heard that it was Guanyinshan's side, he immediately became nervous: "What happened?" Or I'll go too! ”

Liu Yue thought for a while and said, "Then you can go too, anyway, it's not clear on the phone, and we'll meet in Shangxian Village when the time comes!" ”

After hanging up the phone, Wu Wei hurriedly went out and took another car, and then went straight to the direction of Shangxian Village.

When Wu Wei arrived at Shangxian Village, it was already twelve o'clock at noon, and Wu Wei found Liu Yue and them by the river at the head of the village, and there was a woman standing next to Liu Yue in addition to Yun Feng. Wu Wei only recognized after approaching that this woman turned out to be Liu Yue's apprentice Ai Xuanlian, and she also participated in the last time she encircled and suppressed Qing Shao.

Wu Wei walked up to them, greeted them respectfully one by one, and then asked, "What's the matter, master, what's going on over there in the dark river?" ”

Liu Yue said: "I have just arrived, let's go to the exit of the dark river first, and let Master Yunfeng explain the specific situation in detail while you are on the road." ”

After Liu Yue finished speaking, the four of them walked upstream along the river. Along the way, Yun Feng told all the situations they had encountered in the past two days.

Just the day before yesterday, after they discovered the dark river, they did not rush to explore, because the dark river has many tributaries, first of all, this has caused great difficulty, and the terrain in the dark river is changeable, and it is likely that there will be rapids, whirlpools, and even cliffs and waterfalls. Therefore, they did not continue to explore that day, but after making full preparations, they officially went deep into the dark river at noon yesterday.

Yesterday, Yunfeng, Yunhuo and Yunhai took nine disciples into three groups, and they explored deeply at the three forks of the dark river, and they used the bamboo rafts they made, as well as compass ropes and other tools, and it took them half a day to finally find out the general terrain, and determined that the leftmost fork was the mainstream of the dark river.

After determining the main stream, they made some preparations and plans again that night, and specially compiled four narrower bamboo rafts according to the width of the cave and the river inside. After making these preparations, I entered the dark river again early this morning to investigate.

The dark river is in the mountain, and in a wide place, four bamboo rafts can go side by side, and they have no problem standing on the bamboo raft. But when you reach a narrow and low place, you can only barely pass a bamboo raft, and people have to lie on the bamboo raft.

In the process of going deeper, although they encountered some rapids, but it did not affect the way forward, even a few small whirlpools and clouds and winds they managed to drive over, fortunately did not encounter the underground waterfall.

Because they were going against the current, they were moving very slowly, and when they went deep into about 300 meters, they must have entered the interior of Guanyin Mountain. At this point, the river has become significantly deeper, and the temperature has dropped a lot, and it is in this area that some conditions have happened to them.

First, Yunfeng heard movement beneath the surface of the water, and they stopped to observe quietly for a while, and found that there were occasional ripples on the surface of the water in front of them. Since nothing else happened, everyone thought it was the noise of the fish under the water, so they didn't pay attention to it and continued to drive.

Probably going forward more than ten meters deeper, the head of the Yunhuo Dao, who was walking in the front, saw a big black shadow under the water, the black shadow was about a person long, and the silhouette did not look like a fish, so he immediately stopped everyone.

When all four rafts stopped, the black shadow quickly dived underwater. Yunhuo said that he could be sure that the black shadow he saw had limbs, but he didn't know if it was a large salamander or some other underwater creature, and most importantly, they couldn't be sure if the underwater creature was aggressive or not.

After staying in place for about ten minutes, Yun Feng saw that there was nothing unusual underwater, so he asked everyone to continue walking deeper. Until they entered a wide area, a dozen black shadows more than one person long gathered under the water surface around the bamboo raft.

As if these guys under the water were deliberately waiting for this wide area to surround them, Yunfeng immediately realized that something was wrong and quickly ordered everyone to go back. But at this moment, the water splashed around the bamboo raft, and several black shadows had jumped out of the water and pounced on them. By the light of the flashlight, everyone couldn't help but gasp when they saw these creatures, these figures were not underwater creatures like salamanders at all, but humanoid monsters covered with scales all over their bodies!

These monsters have human faces and limbs, a tail similar to that of an axolotl, silver-gray scales all over their bodies, gills on both sides of their faces, flat noses on their faces, thin lips turned up, and a mouthful of sharp teeth.

They all wanted to jump onto the raft, and with their fangs and claws, they attacked the Dao Masters fiercely. Seeing this, the Dao Leaders immediately took out their short swords for self-defense and counterattacked, driving away this group of monsters with all their might.

These monsters were holding the bamboo raft and wanted to overturn the bamboo raft, and the Taoist leaders used a jack pendant to control the weight and balance of the bamboo raft, and the three Taoist masters of Yunfeng, Yunhuo, and Yunhai threw out thunder talismans to attack the monsters in the water. The thunder runes emitted a violent flash and a loud sound that frightened the monsters, and the Dao Masters took the opportunity to retreat.

The monsters still had to catch up, but entering the narrow river limit their attacks in groups. The monsters could only swim side by side in twos and threes, which made it much easier to break off.

The cloud fire path that was in charge of the broken dragon kept throwing out the thunder talisman to block the monsters, and it was downstream to go back, so he quickly distanced himself from the monsters. The Dao Leaders didn't know if the underwater monster would chase after them, so they didn't dare to take it lightly, and it was not until they retreated to the exit that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After exiting the dark river, when the Taoist leaders pulled the bamboo raft ashore, they found that many places under the bamboo raft had been bitten off, and the rope connecting the bamboo raft had been bitten in several places. Those monsters have a lot of strength and number in the water, and if they drag them underwater, I'm afraid everyone will have to die in the dark river.

After listening to Yunfeng's narration, Liu Yue and Wu Wei both sweated for them, but fortunately there were no casualties, otherwise it would really be worth the loss.

Liu Yue frowned tightly and said, "I can't imagine that there is such a thrilling situation in the dark river, it seems that it is really too difficult to explore the water source!" ”

Wu Wei worried: "I don't know what the origin of these monsters is, if they are specifically left there to guard the water source, it means that there is indeed a big problem with the water source." ”

Liu Yue nodded, agreeing with Wu Wei's speculation: "You're right, the more this happens, the more we have to find a way to find a water source, but I don't know how many crises are hidden in the dark river!" ”

Several people walked towards the exit of the dark river worriedly, thinking about a way to explore the water source, but when they thought of the monsters hidden in the water, no one could think of a better way than to break through.
