Chapter 124: Identity Exposed
On the way down the mountain, Lu Yangsheng kept walking in front, and deliberately separated himself from Li Rou at a distance, Li Rou wanted to ask him a few times, but he cleverly avoided it, so that the road was almost halfway away, and the two of them hadn't spoken a few words.
Seeing that it was getting closer and closer to the town, Li Rou finally couldn't help it, she stopped in place, watching Lu Yangsheng walk farther and farther, but she didn't mean to speak, she wanted to see what this kid meant.
Although Lu Yangsheng had been walking in front, the corner of his eye had been paying attention to Li Rou's every move, so when she had just stopped, he found that at that moment, he felt hairy on his back, as if he was being targeted by some kind of fierce beast.
He gritted his teeth and took two steps forward, Li Rou still didn't say a word, let alone call him, but the chill on his body became heavier and heavier, and the sneer on the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious.
Lu Yangsheng finally couldn't help it, he stopped, turned around and said, "Sister Rou, why did you stop?" ”
Li Rou sneered, and said in a weird manner: "Yo, you Lu Yangsheng finally remembered that there was a big living person behind him?" I thought you were going to just walk all the way back to town. What, this is thinking I'm an eyesore? Don't even dare to say a word to me? ”
is worthy of Li Rou, who watched Lu Yangsheng grow up, just a few simple words, but Lu Yangsheng was so stubborn that he broke his defense in an instant. He obediently put the barrel in his hand on the ground, and then twisted it and said, "Sister Rou, I didn't mean that. ”
Li Rou snorted coldly and said, "There is no such meaning, that means that there are other meanings?" Come, you're welcome, let Sister Rou listen to it too, and see what you kid wants to do. Of course, if you think I can't listen, that's fine, but from now on, don't think about seeing me again, let alone sending me, and roll me back to the mountain with your bucket of soft-shelled turtle soup. I, Li Rou, haven't been poor enough to that extent. ”
Li Rou can say this kind of thing to Lu Yangsheng, which shows that she is really angry.
Originally, when she went up the mountain this time, she just wanted to see how Lu Yangsheng was doing, and as for helping Jiang Guining persuade Lu Yangsheng to apprentice, it was just an excuse for her to go up the mountain, after all, if she came to Lu Yangsheng for no reason, it would not be easy to explain to her family. But since the start of the mountain, everything has been completely different from what Li Rou thought.
The terrifying soft-shelled turtle, the little snake that can find ginseng, and the Taoist priest who behaves strangely, and even Lu Yangsheng, who she grew up watching, has become different from before. This made Li Rou's heart feel as if she had pressed a boulder, which made her a little breathless.
She knew that Lu Yangsheng couldn't hurt him, but this feeling of being kept in the dark by the most trusted person was really uncomfortable, and she didn't mean anything else, she just wanted Lu Yangsheng to be honest with her, if there was something, say it and see, even if she can't help, let her know it.
Lu Yangsheng didn't expect Li Rou to suddenly get so angry, which made him instantly at a loss, and his face turned pale.
He shouted at Li Rou with some grievances: "Sister Rou......"
Although the corners of Li Rou's eyes were unbearable, her tone was still cold.
"Don't call me Sister Rou, I can't afford to be your sister until you explain things clearly."
To be honest, Lu Yangsheng did feel aggrieved, because the reason why he deliberately avoided Li Rou was that he didn't want Li Rou to get involved in some events that didn't belong to mortals, because although he didn't understand what was hidden in the town, the things involved in it were definitely not something that a small Nayuan Realm monk could afford, let alone a mortal like Li Rou.
Jiang Guining will definitely be able to bear it, but Lu Yangsheng knows very well that he has absolutely no intention of making a move, and the reason why he came here, Lu Yangsheng also understands that he just wants to accept apprentices on behalf of the teacher, but why does it have to be him, Lu Yangsheng can't understand it at all.
He still knows too few things now, so far, the only thing he can be sure of is that although Jiang Guining's target here is him, he definitely has no intention of harming him, even if there is, it is definitely not now. Moreover, Jiang Guining has absolutely nothing to do with the mysterious guy in the town.
But it doesn't matter, and it doesn't mean that he will help himself.
So he had already made up his mind, before he had the ability to solve the problems of the town, Li Rou, who was close to him, would definitely not be involved if they could not get involved.
This is his insistence, but these insistences are a little pale in the face of Li Rou's anger.
He looked at the anger and worry in Li Rou's eyes, but he couldn't say anything about all the excuses in his mouth, and finally could only sigh deeply and said: "Sister Rou, I didn't mean to hide it from you, but there are some things that I really can't tell you." ”
Li Rou didn't mean to give up at all, he said firmly: "Then pick what you can say and say it, otherwise you will go back to the mountain." ”
Seeing that Li Rou's attitude was so resolute, Lu Yangsheng was silent and thought for a while, and there was really no way to shirk it, so he could only say to Li Rou: "Sister Rou, what I will tell you next, forget it if you have heard it, you must not tell others, not even Brother Li Quan." ”
Li Rou took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I promise you." ”
After she agreed, Lu Yangsheng didn't speak in a hurry, but broke half a branch from the bush on the side of the road, and then gently placed it in the palm of his left hand under Li Rou's puzzled gaze.
Li Rou asked strangely, "What are you doing here?" ”
Lu Yangsheng didn't answer, but motioned for her to look down, and at the same time, he began to mobilize the few spiritual qi in his body and slowly channel them into the branches.
Because she couldn't understand what he was doing, Li Rou was a little impatient, and just when she wanted to scold, the scene in front of her made her swallow all the words into her stomach.
It turned out that in the palm of Lu Yangsheng's hand, the originally bare branches began to grow buds.
At first, the branches were just buds, but soon the buds began to sprout, and then grew faster and faster, and finally they were full of tender green branches and leaves almost in the blink of an eye.
Lu Yangsheng's face was full of sweat at this time, but he didn't stop there, but in Li Rou's shocked gaze, he replaced the branch that was already full of leaves into the palm of his right hand.
At the moment when the branch touched the palm of his right hand, the leaves that had just grown on the branch suddenly withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then even the branches began to wither and yellow, and in the end, Lu Yangsheng's right hand was just lightly shaken, and the branch instantly turned into a pile of debris.
After doing this, Lu Yangsheng was already sweating profusely, as if he had just done some strenuous exercise, and it was a little difficult to stand.
Since the branches sprouted, Li Rou had not spoken until the branches were shattered, and she did not come back to her senses, and Lu Yangsheng did not make a sound reminder, but quietly waited for her to accept all this. However, he was also ready to be kept away by Li Rou, after all, the things he had just done were really shocking to mortals.
I don't know how long it took, Li Rou finally came back to her senses, she looked at Lu Yangsheng in a daze, opened her mouth wide, but no sound came out.
Lu Yangsheng smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Rou, this is the reason why I dare not tell you." ”
Li Rou swallowed her saliva and finally said the whole sentence.
She asked, "What was that just now?" Tricks? ”
Lu Yangsheng shook his head and said, "Although I did those things just now, even I don't understand what they are, but Jiang Guining said that it was the prototype of a spell. ”
"Spells?" Li Rou was really frightened this time, she screamed: "Isn't that only used by immortals in the story?" ”
Lu Yangsheng shook his head and said, "It's not that exaggerated, but I've been practicing these things recently." ”
In fact, Li Rou had already regretted it when she first asked, because if it was really an immortal law, it meant that Lu Yangsheng was now different from mortals, and this must be his biggest secret, and being able to tell her these already showed Lu Yangsheng's attitude, if she continued to ask openly, it would mean that she was not sensible.
So when she heard that Lu Yangsheng was still going to continue, she hurriedly stopped and said, "Okay Yangsheng, you don't need to say it, don't worry, Sister Rou won't ask you anything again." ”
No matter how Lu Yangsheng learned these things, even if Li Rou was curious, she wouldn't ask any more words, because this was Lu Yangsheng's secret, and she just needed to know that this child was doing well.
But Lu Yangsheng didn't mean to stop, because since things were already like this, there were some things that should be explained to Li Rou, which just made her a little guarded.
So he continued: "Sister Rou, since I have already said it, there are some things I should tell you, so that you can be prepared." ”
Li Rou took a deep breath, and then was silent for a while before saying, "Okay, you say, I'll listen." ”
Although she didn't know what Lu Yangsheng would say, she didn't think it would be a good thing when she thought of what Lu Yangsheng did today.
Lu Yangsheng thought about the wording, and then said: "I'm like this now, according to Jiang Guining's statement, I should be called a cultivator or a qi refiner outside, but according to our town, it should be regarded as a ...... Immortals, it's just that I'm too weak now to be called an immortal. ”
In order to make Li Rou understand, even though Lu Yangsheng was about to blush to death, he still said it hard.
Sure enough, Li Rou exclaimed, "Immortals? ”
Lu Yangsheng blushed, and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "This is just a statement, but in fact it is no different from a normal person." ”
Having said that, with the scene just now, Li Rou really couldn't convince herself, so even looking at Lu Yangsheng's gaze, it became a little weird.
Lu Yangsheng hurriedly changed the topic and said: "I say that I am cultivating immortals now, but in fact I don't know anything, but there is one person, but he is very powerful, I am sure that he must be the legendary immortal." ”
Hearing him say this, Li Rou instantly understood, and she asked, "Is that Jiang Guining?" ”
When it came to business, Lu Yangsheng couldn't care about being shy, he said in a deep voice: "It's him." Sister Rou, don't look at him doing things out of tune, but I'm sure he is very powerful, and he is definitely a real immortal. ”
Speaking of this, Lu Yangsheng said to Li Rou very seriously: "So Sister Rou, you must take what I am going to say next to heart, otherwise, I am really worried that something will happen to you." ”
After seeing Lu Yangsheng's methods, Li Rou knew that he would not be untargeted, so she replied nervously: "Don't worry, I will definitely keep it in mind." ”
