"......" Several stewards looked at each other, the atmosphere fell silent, and after a while, Xue Yi suddenly said: "Yu Ming, during the day, I followed your instructions to look for the enemy in the grove, and I did meet the spirit master who controlled the Yuan Su people, it was a girl, but when I found her, you should have already settled the battle, the girl said something to me, and then left with a special escape spirit technique." ”

"Girl?" Lin Yuming's heart moved, and he asked without thinking, "Are your clothes tattered, just like the group of villagers we met a few days ago?"

"Do you know her?" Seeing Lin Yuming describe the girl's appearance so quickly, Wang Baocai and the stewards looked at each other, and Xue Yi asked.

Lin Yuming shook his head and said, "I don't know, but since I met the villagers of Dashui Village, I feel that there is a person who has been peeking at me, Brother Xue still remembers the night we stayed in Ruoshui City? ”

Regarding the matter of the Soul Crystal, Lin Yuming is not easy to say and can't say, since he knows the preciousness of the Soul Crystal, like the three partners of the seventh team, they can say it without concealment, Xue Yi may be able to, but now, there are so many stewards around, Wang Baocai is also there, and the matter of the Soul Crystal is not easy to say after all.

Wang Baocai, Xue Yi and the stewards roughly listened to Lin Yuming's narration and understood the whole process, and then they understood that Lin Yuming didn't know the identity of the girl, so they didn't mention the day's events. Everyone talked and laughed together, ate a hearty meal of grilled fish, and then went back to their respective tents to rest.

On the way back to the tent, Xue Yi stopped Lin Yuming and roughly relayed what the blue-haired girl Lingruo said during the day to Lin Yuming, although it was not sure whether the girl named Lingruo really had no malice as she said, but it was just a name to be relayed, and Xue Yi still helped to be a microphone.

"Lingruo ......" walked on the way back to the tent, Lin Yuming thought about the meaning of this name in his heart, and at the same time searched for such a name in his mind, and finally determined that it was the first time he heard this name, before he shook his head, secretly thinking about what relationship such a girl who had never met had with him, and what kind of relationship he had with the soul crystal.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, all the workers of the treasure caravan began to pack up their things early, Lin Yuming washed up by the river, and then walked around the camp at will, to see where a helper was needed, he stepped forward to help, and the workers or guys who were helped would also turn around and say hello to him in a friendly manner, but the title made Lin Yuming a little uncomfortable - little hero.

Since yesterday's battle with the five Yuansu people during the day, Lin Yuming's reputation in the treasure caravan can be said to have reached a height, and the workers have privately praised Lin Yuming to the sky, and they have praised his strength is not ordinary, he has such a realm of cultivation at a young age, but even if it is a guard in the caravan, except for Xue Yi, there are few who have made a difference in cultivation.

The workers quickly packed their bags, and the convoy set off again, and the caravan continued along the Yushen River, heading in the direction of the Qingyu national capital.

......

This is a dark hall, there are several pillars erected in the hall, the pillars are carved with vivid pictures, there are fangs and claws of strange beasts and monsters, there are turbulent waves, blazing blazing screams, etc., on several pillars hung a small oil lamp, the faint flame can only barely illuminate a corner of the hall, not only does not bring a warm feeling to the hall, but adds a bit of gloom.

In the faint light, I could faintly see a high platform on the side of the wall in the hall, there was a tall statue on it, but in the darkness I couldn't see the face of the statue, and under the statue were some messy sacrifices, pigs' heads, fruits, and two bottles of wine, the sacrifices had been covered with a thick layer of dust, and it seemed that no one had cleaned them for a long time.

Squeak-

The door of the hall was slowly opened, a cool breeze came from outside the door, a faint sound of rain came from outside, and a faint moonlight slanted in from outside the door, illuminating half of the hall and presenting the scene inside to the people standing outside.

It was a young girl, dressed in rags, dressed in tattered clothes like strips of cloth, with long water-blue hair gently tied up by a ribbon, and carrying a large bag in her hand, which seemed to contain too many things, some of which were too small to hold, revealing the edges and corners. The girl walked slowly into the hall, first looking up at the head of the tall statue in front of her, and then closing the door to the hall.

The girl held the burden in her right hand, the palm of her left hand was opened, and with a slight grip, a piece of blue light began to condense at a speed visible to the naked eye, gradually turning into water droplets, slowly becoming larger, and finally gathered together into a blue water ball that emitted a faint light, although the light was not very dazzling, it was enough for lighting.

The girl put the burden on the ground temporarily, walked to the edge of the high platform, looked at the dusty sacrifices on the high platform, watched silently for a while, and then took these sacrifices off the high platform one by one, after all the sacrifices were taken down, her right hand gently brushed on the water ball on her left hand, and a wisp of clear water slowly separated from the water ball and landed on the high platform that was also covered with dust.

The current of water flows like a snake on a high platform, and where it passes, the dust seems to be sucked away by the current, and becomes new, but the current also turns a little blacker, as if something turbid has mixed into the current. In this way, the water swam throughout it, the dust on the high platform has been wiped away, and the wisp of clear water has also turned into a black sewage, the girl's right hand gently grasped one in the air, and the sewage turned into a little black light and dissipated in the air.

Picking up two plates of sacrificial offerings that had deteriorated, the maiden opened the door and went out, and when she came back the plate containing the sacrificial offerings was empty, and the plates had been cleaned, so the maiden put the plates on the sacrificial altar and picked up two more plates, and after repeating this several times, there were several more clean and empty plates on the high platform.

It wasn't a long time, but the girl hadn't looked up at the statue since she first entered the door, and never looked at it again. The girl silently opened the bag she had brought in when she entered the door, and it contained all kinds of food and wine identical to the spoiled sacrifices from earlier. The girl took them out one by one and laid them out on the empty plates on the high platform.

After everything was done, the high platform had been completely renewed, and all the sacrifices were neatly placed there according to their original positions, and the girl looked at these silently, as if she felt that something was missing, and after thinking for a while, she patted her head, and her right hand reached out to her neck, and pulled up a hanging strap from her clothes, which seemed to be the tie of a necklace, and when the tie was all pulled out, a spar of the same color as the girl's long hair appeared in the girl's hand.

It was a drop-shaped aqua blue spar, the surface of the spar was smooth and flat, exuding a dazzling brilliance, in this dark hall, like a dazzling star illuminating a small place, the inside of the spar seemed to have a stream of water rolling, very magical.

The girl waved her left hand, scattered the water ball on her left hand, and gently stroked the surface of the spar with some water stains, and the blue light on the spar suddenly flourished, and when the blue light gradually dissipated, there were already three more incense sticks in the girl's hand.

Came to a pillar, the girl stood on tiptoe and lit the incense on the oil lamp, the faint green smoke gradually rose, the girl shook the incense gently, came to the front of the high platform three meters away, held the three incense sticks with both hands, and slowly bowed down to the statue, three times in a row, only then slowly stepped forward, inserted the three incense sticks into a delicate small incense burner, and at the same time, the girl muttered the words for the first time: " Father, I left for a long time this time, and went to the small village on the border with your instructions, and soon after that, the village started a flood, at first I thought that you were trying to save people, so I rescued most of the villagers, but the thing to do was obscure, and there were some people who really had no way to do it, and then I followed these villagers all the way to escape, and on the way I finally understood what you meant......"

With a slight word, with a hint of sadness, the girl recounted what she had done along the way: "The holy sword has come out again, and the one holding it is a boy who has been approved by the Soul Crystal, his spiritual power is quite good, but he doesn't seem to be the heir of the Illusory Saint Sect, he is wearing the uniform of the Star Iron Spirit Master Main Hall, this is very strange, could it be that the Soul Crystal has flowed out of the Illusory Saint Sect? It's just that I heard that the Illusory Saint Sect underwent a transformation ten years ago, but I didn't hear this kind of news."

I tested his strength, he has a strong adaptability, and at the same time, his mental strength is also very good, but the realm is not yet mature, and it takes some time to grow, and he seems to be a pretty good heir to the Holy Sword. It's just Father, I don't know what you mean by letting me see him, is it to help him, or to take the holy sword from him and use the spiritual water holy crystal to reactivate its power?"

The girl's words were filled with some doubts, with some incomprehension, and the girl finally looked up at the tall statue in front of her again, and under the light of the shining spar in her hand, the true face of the statue was finally revealed.

It was a face that looked a little hideous for ordinary people.
