In the evening of that day, the Tianming Sect rang the bell of the assembly.

The Prophet ascended to the high platform and calmly and resolutely announced his decision to travel all over the world, and solemnly handed over the burden of the Tianming Sect to the kindest and simplest young man in the sect.

The people were shocked, but they believed in their hearts that the prophet must have gone further to speak the Word of God.

As for the young people who have been entrusted with important tasks, no one has any objection -

Simplicity does not mean stupidity, and the purer the heart, the closer it is to goodness.

......

In the shadows that people can't see, Lu Qiming and the two stand side by side.

Lin Youzhi looked at the distant figure of the middle-aged martial artist, and couldn't help sighing: "If you have a medicine master, you are efficient." ”

Lu Qiming smiled and teased her: "Is it really like this? It's not like your style." ”

Lin Youzhi pinned the broken hair of his sideburns behind his ears, shook his head and chuckled, "No way...... It wasn't my intention to make such a big emotion, and some things were too clever in a hurry...... Besides, although the Tianming Sect is special, its foundation is still insufficient, and it is unrealistic to want to make great progress. ”

Lu Qiming was noncommittal. There was a slight contemplation in his eyes—such a faint force could interfere with his perception; how could no one have discovered such a peculiar phenomenon?

Lin Youzhi glanced at Lu Qiming and asked him, "Speaking of which, why do you have to choose that stupid big man?"

Lu Qiming said, "Let's go, it's time to go back." ”

......

There is a small city not far from Yulin Town, and one of the quaint courtyards with white walls and black tiles belongs to the Lin family.

The courtyard is scattered and full of plants. In the evening, the paper lanterns are lit up, and walking along the winding and deep flower paths is also comfortable.

Lin Youzhi approached the small porcelain bowl on the table, scooped a spoonful of warm peach blossom soup, and sighed with satisfaction: "Finally back to the world......

Lu Qiming looked at her with a smile, and his heart was a little soft - in fact, even in front of him, Lin Youzhi rarely showed the posture of a child - it seemed that in the past few days, she was not nervous in her heart.

Lin Youzhi was a little embarrassed by him, and sat up straight and asked him, "Speaking of which, Brother Lu, when will you be able to refine the pill?"

"I met a master in the twilight. Lu Qiming said simply, paused, and looked at her: "Please help me with something, I urgently need a batch of medicinal materials recently." ”

"Just give me the list. Lin Youzhi nodded, this kind of thing is too normal between them - many things are always watched too closely if they are done in person.

Lu Qiming took out the names of the medicinal materials that had already been written down for her, and reminded with a smile: "This time there are a lot." ”

Lin Youzhi glanced at it a few times, and said in surprise: "Are they all the main medicines?

"No, it's all dispensing; Lu Qiming was helpless, the pill given to him by the black shadow was extremely precious even if it was a dispensing. "How's it going, isn't it difficult?"

"It's okay, it's just going to be a big auction, there are a lot of things. Lin Youzhi smiled, she looked at Lu Qiming and said: "The medicines are so precious-isn't that more valuable?" Or Brother Lu, you will be more diligent and refine more pills and auction them off by the way, and we will still have three or seven points." ”

Lu Qiming was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Brother Lin, how long has it been since the two of us have been in touch?"

Lin Youzhi raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "A month or two at most?" I can't remember clearly...... Why do you suddenly ask this?"

Lu Qiming sighed: "I'm worried that my memory has also been tampered with......"

"What's going on, what's wrong?" Lin Youzhi was taken aback.

"Not yet. Lu Qiming smiled slightly bitterly and said in a low voice: "I am more proficient in alchemy than medicine, just like I have practiced for countless years. ”

Lin Youzhi was stunned, suddenly stood up, and said excitedly: "Do you have memories of your past life?!"

Lu Qiming laughed -- this girl has too much imagination! He shook his head and said, "How is it possible? Besides, the person I remember is myself." ”

"That's it......" Lin Youzhi's face was a little gloomy, and he sat down slowly, not seeing what he was thinking. She shook her head and smiled, "Maybe...... Why don't you go back and see if she left you any hints?"

Lu Qiming nodded silently.

The two men were silent with their own thoughts.

After a while, Lu Qiming smiled slightly and said, "Let's not talk about this matter yet." I'll introduce you to a few friends in a while. ”

Lin Youzhi also had some wandering things, and he forced himself to concentrate on listening to things about Gu Zhiyang, Xia Wu, Ye Zui and others.

When she heard Yao Chengxiang, she burst into a smile, "Yao Pang also bumped into you?"

"Your suitor?" Lu Qiming asked her with an eyebrow.

Lin Youzhi smiled but didn't answer, and said, "Yao Pang is my friend, you cover him." After a pause, she said seriously: "He doesn't seem to be reliable, but he is actually the one I have ever met. You have to be able to make him useful to you, and you won't lose. ”

Lu Qiming nodded with a smile, and then said, "There is another person, you should be able to become friends." "Most of the young masters and young ladies of the family don't associate with ordinary people, but "Brother Lin" is always different.

"Who?" Lin Youzhi listened to him alone, quite curious.

"A girl I traveled with at dusk, although she was easy to be shy, but there are some parts of her personality that are very similar to you," Lu Qiming thought of Song Ping'an and smiled: "What a very good girl." ”

Lin Youzhi's expression was stunned, and then he smiled evilly: "It's rare, it's rare! Brother Lu would praise a girl......! Do you have a crush on someone?"

Lu Qiming said, "Brother Lin, you are thinking too fast...... She's also a lifesaver for me. ”

"That's the beauty to save the hero, the friend of life and death......" Lin Youzhi was stunned, and said with a smile: "I really want to know - what is her name?"

"Song Ping'an. Lu Qiming replied casually.

He glanced at the sky and chuckled, "Okay, Brother Lin, just settle you." There's something to do tomorrow morning, so I'll go back first. ”

Lin Youzhi was not surprised, nodded and said, "It's getting dark, be careful on the road." ”

......

Cai Cai saw that Lu Qiming had been gone for a long time, and his own young lady had not yet called someone to clean up the table, which was a little strange.

She walked into the room lightly and saw Lin Youzhi sitting alone on the edge of the couch, and the food on the table was already cold. Cai Cai saluted Lin Youzhi and took the initiative to clean up at the table.

The porcelain tableware made a ding-dong collision sound.

Lin Youzhi was furious, and suddenly stood up and said sharply: "What are you arguing about!"

Cai Cai was full of excitement, the bowl in his hand was thrown out in fright, and the whole person stood there without knowing how to react.

The bowl was on the ground and shattered.

The broken voice was like a thunderclap - Lin Youzhi was suddenly stunned, only then did he realize what he had just done, he was silent for a moment, and said softly: "Cai Cai, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”

Cai Cai looked at her stupidly, and cried out with a "wow". Lin Youzhi had to hug her for a good time to comfort her.

Cai Cai sobbed and said, "Miss, did Young Master Lu make you angry?"

Lin Youzhi didn't speak in a daze, and asked himself in his heart, "Yes, I'...... Why am I angry?" She carefully analyzed herself, her eyes gradually widening with shock, and said secretly, "Could it be me?!"

She shook her head again and again, "But, he is so young, how can I ......" She was so confused that she said this.

Cai Cai was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what she meant-it's not that Cai Cai is smart, but Lin Youzhi doesn't know-Cai Cai Yaoyao and the others have long regarded Lu Qiming as their own aunt in their hearts, and in their eyes, only Lu Qiming is worthy of their own miss.

Cai Cai hurriedly said: "Miss, have you forgotten that you are the same age as Young Master Lu? The family is so big, you don't need to pay attention to seniority! Miss, you have no blood relationship with Young Master Lu, don't hesitate!"

Lin Youzhi looked at the candle flame.

For a long time, when Cai Cai was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard Lin Youzhi say quietly: "Cai Cai, you go and check someone for me." ”

"Song Ping'an. ”

......

Lu Qiming naturally couldn't imagine that his casual words would cause such an uproar in Lin Youzhi's heart. He only felt that he had solved a major matter, and then returned to the Lu family with a leisurely expression.

Not long before dawn, he simply stopped going to sleep -- his body was different from ordinary people in his cultivation, and it didn't hurt to go without food or sleep for two or three days.

Lu Qiming sat in front of the desk, took out the booklet left by his mother from the green jade pendant again and read it. After all, no matter how good your memory is, there is no guarantee that you will not make mistakes, especially with the existence of black shadows that manipulate memories at every turn.

He tried to find more information from the materials left by his mother.

Lu Qiming read page by page, and when he saw a pattern, he suddenly stopped.

It was an amber-golden, translucent tree-shaped token.

The more Lu Qiming looked at it, the more familiar it became, his heart moved, and he took out the nameless token he got from Ye Zui that day - it turned out that this token was different in color and material, but the outline was exactly the same as the pattern hand-painted by his mother!

Lu Qiming looked at the introduction written by his mother, smiled slightly, and suddenly whispered to the token: "Golden Tree Secret Realm." ”

Mutation protrusion!

The tree-shaped token unexpectedly bloomed with a layer of white light with Lu Qiming's voice, and the rust stains dissipated in an instant, revealing a smooth and clear token body—when I looked at it again, although it was still dark gold, the texture was different—the whole body was like amber, harder than wood, and softer than jade, a strange material that I had never seen before.

Recognize the name of the spiritual weapon!

Legend has it that artifacts also give birth to beings, that they know their names and missions, and that when someone speaks them, they can hear and regain their brilliance.

Lu Qiming looked back and forth at the different dense lines on both sides of the token, and then compared with his mother's explanation, his eyes lit up slightly - this token is the key to the secret realm of the Golden Tree!

"Uncharted" is not the same as "Ruins". A relic is a fixed place, and a secret realm is a small space attached to our main space, where the environment, life, and even the flow of time may be different - so the secret realm needs a "key".

Nowadays, there are eight secret realms in Middle-earth that have been discovered by the family, and the "Golden Tree Secret Realm" is not among them.

After the surprise, Lu Qiming's eyes were slightly solemn - according to his mother, the key to this secret realm was also extremely precious to them, and every birth must have a bloody battle.

Lu Qiming's mind moved, and the secret realm token disappeared from his hand again - this secret realm, before his strength was enough, must be kept secret.

However--Lu Qiming smiled silently--the puzzle about the "entrance" on the token can be solved first!
