Chapter 7 The Shadow of the Lake Tower

By the time the two got off the train, it was already evening.

Yu Youwei muttered in his heart, if Wei Ran hadn't remembered that he had lost his ID card before he went out, they would have been able to catch the noon train and still have a stroll when they arrived in Luxi Town.

Wei Ran saw Yu You's slightly puffed up, deliberately pretended not to see it, and his footsteps did not stop, but he said leisurely, "Female Shanxin, I'm hungry." ”

Yu Youwei was furious when he heard this, "Are you hungry? Do you still have the face to say you're hungry? If you hadn't thought about your ID card before you went out, wouldn't we have only one breakfast in our stomachs when it was dark? I'm telling you, I'm hungry now, and I'm eating each other! ”

There are many well-known snacks in Luxi Town, Yu Youwei did a long strategy last night, refining what to do every hour, and now the whole plan is disrupted, and the anger in his chest is all sent to this initiator.

Wei Ran didn't get angry, just took the backpack that Yu Youwei threw at him, and silently followed behind Yu Youwei, who was huffing.

Yu Youwei booked a hotel near the direction pointed by the old Taoist chief, so as to facilitate tomorrow's action, Wei Ran had already agreed with her before leaving, and the two of them booked a twin room, and the demon monkey would definitely pay attention to their actions and be careful. Yu Youwei is not a hypocritical person, she knows the seriousness of the matter, so she does not twist.

The two of them put down their things hungry, Wei Ran took out a few pieces of rune paper, carefully pasted them in the four corners of the room, and added an extra one on the door. Although Yu Youwei didn't know what kind of rune paper he pasted, she felt a lot more relieved when she looked at him, she deliberately occupied the bed by the door first, and if something happened, she could just run away, anyway, there was Wei Ran on top.

Wei Ran pasted the talisman paper and turned around to see Yu Youwei staring at the backpack and smirking, he felt that this woman was really strange, her every emotion was beyond his expectations, and he always felt a little nervous.

He kindly reminded Yu Youwei, "Nushanxin, I'm hungry." ”

Yu Youwei's beautiful vision was interrupted, her eyes looked at Wei Ran deeply, she knew that Wei Ran called herself a good woman again, because she felt that she had offended herself by doing that before, and took the initiative to distance herself from herself, so as not to make herself feel uncomfortable.

His sense of proportion is indeed very good, if he can act as if nothing has happened, everything is the same as before, she will go out to find a solution elsewhere, or fight the demon monkey to the end, and she will not ask him for help again.

She felt that her feelings were well taken care of and decided not to pretend to be angry anymore.

"I have long heard that the sugar and oil cake in Luxi Town is a must, oily and sweet, glutinous but not greasy, I did a strategy last night, only the store in Xinshikou is the most authentic, let's go to eat the sugar and oil cake first." As he spoke, Yu Youwei took out the strategy in his pocket, "Walk another 500 meters to drink beef soup, if we move fast enough, we can eat a osmanthus cold cake when we come back." ”

Seeing Yu You's slight eyebrows fluttering, Wei Ran unconsciously became happy. He is also just an ordinary person, a 24-year-old boy, in addition to the Demon Removal Guardian Dao, he is also curious about the outside world. The so-called color appetite is also the reason why "food" can be placed in the first place, of course, everyone is irresistible.

In order to "move fast enough", the two of them trotted all the way, and finally ate all the snacks that Yu Youwei wanted to taste the most, and returned to the hotel with a bulging stomach.

It's rare to have a well-rested night, Yu You woke up and felt full of spirit after a long absence, but Wei Ran was gone, the quilt was neatly folded, Yu You sighed secretly, he was worthy of being a child who grew up in the Taoist temple, and his work and rest were really regular.

After washing up and walking out of the door neatly dressed, Yu Youwei met the enthusiastic cleaning sister and ran towards her from a distance, "Sister, your boyfriend asked me to tell you, and he was waiting for you in the restaurant!" Oops, I see that this boy is better looking than a star, so I'm curious to see what his girlfriend looks like, you guys are really a good match! How beautiful the child will be in the future......"

Seeing that the cleaning sister was getting farther and farther away, Yu You thanked him slightly embarrassed and rushed to the restaurant in a gloomy manner.

Wei Ran sat in a corner of the restaurant, not ordering anything, he was just used to waking up at dawn. The information left by the Taoist chief was very vague, "Luxi Zhennan, at noon, the shadow of the lake and tower", which is all the information.

There is only one Baohe Pagoda in Luxi Town, which has been preserved from the Song Dynasty to the present, and it is a well-preserved historical site, and they can buy tickets to go up and see what the shadow of the lake light tower at noon means.

When Yu Youwei arrived at the restaurant, he happened to see Wei Ran's quiet thinking.

She had to admit that she was still a very superficial person, if Wei Ran wasn't so good-looking, she wouldn't be so reassuring of him. Good-looking people always have more choices, and when they see Wei Ran's level, people often unconsciously trust him, because he can do many other things with lower costs and greater returns.

Accepting the premise that he was a vulgar person, Yu You walked towards Wei Ran with a broken jar, and Wei Ran also changed the sitting posture that had been maintained for a long time as if sensing her arrival, leaned his back on the back of the chair, and waited for her arrival with his arms folded.

Before he sat down, Yu Youwei spoke first: "I have already bought a ticket, and I can go over at any time." ”

Wei Ran nodded, "Then we'll leave after eating." ”

There is a romantic legend about Baohe Pagoda. Legend has it that during the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a white snake lady who cultivated in human form and fell in love with a scholar, but was not allowed by the monk, and suppressed her under this pagoda, and the scholar chose to become a monk in the tower, accompanying the white snake lady every day.

With this loyal love story, there is always an endless stream of tourists in Baohe Pagoda, and many good men and women come from afar, hoping that their love can be as eternal and beautiful as theirs.

Yu Youwei and Wei Ran were squeezed to the top of the tower, and they were ready to be a fixed tower and never be squeezed down, but the tourists were obviously not too interested in the scenery at the top of the tower, and at noon, only the two of them were left to stick to the top of the tower under the big sun.

Yu Youwei's hands were covered on the top of his head for a while, blocking the sunlight that shone directly into his eyes for a while, in order to guess the puzzle left by the Taoist, the two had been on the top of the tower for more than an hour, Rao is Wei Ran, a person who has received rigorous training since childhood, and he can't resist the high-intensity sun exposure, he is already sweating, and Yu Youwei is lying directly on the railing, eager to stick out his tongue to dissipate heat.

"It's time." Yu You's breath was like a gossamer, and all her strength evaporated along with the water in her body.

Wei Ran straightened his back, the reflection of the spire pointed directly at the center of Azure Lake opposite, Yu You saw the change in his demeanor and followed his gaze.

"Won't it?" Yu Youwei couldn't believe it, this difficulty was beyond her imagination, why would the Taoist chief throw the root bones of that monster into the lake!

Wei Ran thought for a while before he spoke, "Water can isolate all breath, and that monster definitely didn't expect that the Dao Chief would bury its bones here, but although there are not many people by the lake, they can't move during the day." ”

His voice became smaller and smaller, and when he said the back, it was more like he was talking to himself, and Yu You listened anxiously, "Then what do we do?" Do you go into the water to fish? ”

"Let's go to the lake first, and then make a decision."

Walking to the lake, Yu Youwei felt that the heat brought by the previous exposure to the sun had finally disappeared, probably because the process of climbing the pagoda was too boring, and only a few tourists walked down from the top of the tower to walk here, but they didn't know that the water vapor and breeze by the lake could just soothe the fatigue of climbing.

Azure Lake is not huge, but you have to paddle to the center of the lake pointed to by the spire, not to mention that no one knows what the underwater situation is.

Seeing Wei Ran's hard thinking, Yu Youwei pulled Wei Ran back to the hotel, rented two sets of diving equipment, and urged Wei Ran to go to the men's locker room to change clothes while thinking in pieces, "No matter what, you have to go down and have a look, go quickly, and wait for you at the door in a while." ”

Wei Ran changed into a diving suit and grabbed Yu Youwei, who was nervous, "It's okay for me to go alone, you wait for me on the boat." ”

"Huh?" Yu You's slight water performance is not very good, and when he changed his diving suit, he asked the coach who happened to be in the locker room for a few actions, and then pretended to walk out of the door easily, but he didn't expect to be seen through by Wei Ran at a glance.

"You don't have to go, I'll know if it's there, but can you tell the difference?"

Wei Ran's simple words dispelled Yu Youwei's desire to go into the water to have a look, and dived underwater by himself.

Qingtian Lake was not deep, and it didn't take long for Wei Ran to dive to the bottom of the lake, as if something was guiding him, and soon, an antique wooden box appeared in front of him.

The wooden box seemed to be surrounded by a soft aura, which attracted Wei Ran to take a closer look, and it was vaguely seen that a few words were engraved on the lid of the wooden box: Demon monkey root bones, fate people get it and punish it.

There is only a simple invisibility charm on it, so that the wooden box will not be seen by ordinary people without spiritual power, and it can be seen that the Dao Chief has run out of oil when he hides the root bones of the demon monkey.

Wei Ran knew what to expect, so he dived back to the water.

Yu Youwei waited anxiously on the boat, she was a little afraid of water, and when she thought that the only person who could solve this matter was underwater, she had a kind of confusion that she didn't know what to do. In this anxious mood, every second was like a drumstick, on the tip of her heart, making her extremely tormented in this long and short waiting time.

As soon as Wei Ran's head came out of the water, Yu Youwei shouted in surprise, "This way, this way!" Come here! ”

As soon as Wei Ran came out of the water, he heard Yu Youwei's magic voice piercing his ears, so he had to wave his hand at her, indicating that he was swimming towards the boat.

But Yu Youwei on the boat suddenly changed her face, she didn't know if it was her hallucination, when Wei Ran waved her hand at her, she saw a black mist flash behind him and disappear on the calm lake.
