Li Jiuchuan received Jiang Yuebai's letter, and immediately arrived at Baipu Domain through the teleportation array, and according to the letter, he looked for Shilan's mother-in-law in Yinhuan Village.

The 100,000 mountains are stacked on top of each other, and the fog is thick in the morning.

Li Jiuchuan trekked in the mountains, encountered a fork in the deep forest, spread out his divine sense to explore the direction, and found that a female cultivator in the early stage of foundation building was walking towards him.

After waiting for a while, I saw a purple-clothed female cultivator, dressed as a woman of the Wu clan, holding a long knife to resist the wind.

"This fellow Taoist ......"

Li Jiuchuan raised his voice to ask for directions, and the purple-clothed nun raised her head in fright, looking at each other, and both of them were stunned for a moment.

"Jiuchuan real people!"

The purple-clothed nun recognized Li Jiuchuan first, and Li Jiuchuan felt that she was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"Junior, Lu Ying, meet the real people of Jiuchuan."

"Lu Ying? It turned out to be you, but it was a coincidence. ”

Li Jiuchuan smiled gently, he suppressed his breath at this time, Lu Ying naturally didn't know that he was Yuanying, and he still remembered that Jiang Yuebai had talked about Lu Ying's departure from the sect.

At that time, he had not yet repaired the natal magic weapon, and he was still a real person.

Li Jiuchuan looked at Lu Ying again, steady and mature, with a restrained breath, and his eyes were not impetuous.

Although she is still in her thirties and is still in the early stage of foundation building, she can see that the foundation is very solid, which is really rare for her with the four spiritual roots, and there are signs of accumulation.

Lu Ying also looked at Li Jiuchuan secretly, bit her lip and asked, "Xiaobai, she ...... Are you okay? ”

Li Jiuchuan nodded, "Everything is fine." ”

Just these four words, nothing else.

Lu Ying still wanted to ask, but smiled suddenly, understanding that Jiuchuan Zhenjun was for her good, as long as she knew that Xiaobai was fine, what was the point of comparing the rest.

"I don't know why the real person is here? Is there anything Lu Ying can do to help real people? ”

"Of course, I wanted to go to Yinhuan Village, but I went to the old site just now and found that Yinhuan Village was no longer there, so I wanted to inquire about it."

Lu Ying raised her face and smiled, "Yinhuan Village captured Cuiling Village the year before last, and the two villages were integrated and moved to Cuiling Village, and the younger generation will draw the direction to you." ”

Lu Ying took out a white paper and charcoal pen, quickly drew a map, and handed it to Li Jiuchuan with both hands.

Li Jiuchuan thanked him, "You are Xiaobai's best friend, if you have any difficulties recently, you can tell me, if you can help, I will help you." ”

Lu Ying thought about it, there were a few tricky things, but ......

"No need, the path of cultivation is full of thorns, and if you take a shortcut for a while, you will have to repay it several times later, and the younger generation can still cope with it now, thank you for your kindness, if there is nothing to do, the younger generation will take the first step."

Lu Ying was free and easy, gave up her hand, and soon disappeared into the miasma of the deep forest.

Li Jiuchuan looked at her back and nodded slowly, "I am more mature than before, my heart is stronger, and it is not a problem to work hard." ”

Li Jiuchuan retracted his gaze and followed the directions on the map to Cuiling Village.

Lu Ying's pace was brisk, running faster and faster in the forest, somehow, when she saw Li Jiuchuan today and learned the news of Xiaobai, she was inexplicably happy in her heart, and she actually missed that bad guy a little.

Lu Ying smiled at the corner of her lips and returned to Toad Village, one of the five major villages in the Baipu Domain.

The flow of people is like weaving, the sound of hawking, the street vendors are busy, the monks are in a hurry, and the fireworks are full of fireworks.

Lu Ying rarely slowed down with interest and admired those who were running for their livelihood and future.

"Tao Nian, let's just settle in Baipu Domain, it's too good for female cultivators here."

"Hmmm! I also like it here, when I build a foundation successfully, let's open a blacksmith shop, I will make ironsmiths, and you will sell goods and settle accounts. ”

"Good!"

Two young female cultivators ran past Lu Ying, Lu Ying was infected by their smiles, turned her head to look at the hands they were holding together, and felt envious.

If she hadn't left Xiaobai, would she have been able to travel together hand in hand like this?

Lu Ying smiled and shook her head, "Xiaobai is so good, I'm afraid he has already left me far away, I'd better live my own life." ”

Walking to a small shop on the corner of the street, Lu Ying poured water on the bonsai at the door, kicked away the stones thrown by the child at the door, and looked up at the plaque.

[Firefly Place]

Lu Ying smiled, full of stability.

"This time I got a good harvest in the mountains, open the door to do business~"

＊

Late at night, the moonlight is dim.

In the mountains behind the new Yinhuan Village, Granny Shi Lan still lives alone in the depths of the woods, leaning on the rocking chair under the window, and sleeping lightly in front of Xu Qingye's portrait.

When the night wind hit, Granny Shi Lan woke up faintly, and saw a person outside the window in a haze, with a green coat and a long body, facing her with the moonlight on her back, her face was covered by darkness, and only a black hair flew in the wind.

"Aono? Are you back? ”

Granny Shi Lan struggled to stand up, the figure walked into the light, and when she saw her face clearly, Granny Shilan's eyes quickly dimmed.

"You're better looking than him......"

Granny Shi Lan sat down again, panting, tired and old.

Li Jiuchuan frowned, he could see that Granny Shi Lan was about to die, and it was not far from running out of oil.

And Jiang Yuebai clearly mentioned in the letter that Shen Huaixi said that Qing Nanzi would send someone to send her a longevity pill every fifty years.

"What are you looking for an old woman and me?" Granny Shi Lan looked at the portrait hanging on the window and asked, "Could it be for him?" ”

Li Jiuchuan turned his head to look at the portrait, and the person in the painting was bright and breezy, not at all like the green sac he knew.

"It's for him."

"The day has finally come, sit down, sit down and talk slowly."

Granny Shi Lan patted the round stool beside her, and Heka in the village came to talk to her every day, and the round stool did not move its position.

Li Jiuchuan sat down, "After so many years, why didn't you go looking for him?" ”

Granny Shi Lan's age is older than Li Jiuchuan.

Granny Shi Lan smiled, "The women of my Wu clan will never do anything to follow a man. ”

"But haven't you waited for him here for hundreds of years?"

Granny Shilan's smile gradually became bitter.

"Tell me what he's been doing out there all these years."

The night breeze was blowing, Li Jiuchuan sat next to Shi Lan's mother-in-law, patiently, starting from the time he met the green sac, little by little.

The rocking chair swayed slowly, and Granny Shi Lan listened without saying a word.

It wasn't until the sky was white that Li Jiuchuan finished speaking.

“…… Actually, I don't know how to solve this matter, but I feel that I should at least come to meet you and inform you of the matter, after all, you are implicated by him and are innocent. ”

Granny Shi Lan was stunned and was silent for a long time, until Li Jiuchuan had the urge to go out to probe her snort.

After a while, Granny Shi Lan closed her eyes and inhaled, "No, I'm not innocent at all, for so many years, no matter how stupid and stupid I am, I can guess that he can't do anything good outside, I have always known it, but I am letting him go, I know the special role of Tongxin Gu, or silently hang a wisp of life soul for him, he has done half of the evil." ”

Li Jiuchuan frowned, "So...... You didn't eat the longevity pill he gave you again? ”

The longevity pill is a ray of life for the monk, and it is also a thing against the sky, fifty years, nine is the limit, and if you eat it again, the catastrophe will come immediately.

"Do you know that apart from the harsh conditions for concluding a Concentric Gu, what conditions are needed to maintain its existence all the time?"

Li Jiuchuan shook his head.

"If you want to make Gu both parties love each other, you can't have the slightest betrayal, but if you have a little hesitation about this feeling, the Tongxin Gu will be unsustainable and will die out quickly, which is why I can wait for hundreds of years."

Li Jiuchuan's expression was complicated, and he didn't know what to say.

Indeed, the concentric Gu has always existed, which shows that no matter what Qing Nanzi did, his love for Shi Lan's mother-in-law has never weakened.

Granny Shi Lan laughed self-deprecatingly, "People are not perfect, how can Gu be perfect, I have been deceiving myself, saying that he loves me, but in fact he is taking advantage of it, maybe this point can't even be distinguished by Tongxin Gu, I'm tired, I'm already tired......"

"If he refuses to come to see me until he dies, I will never see him again, even if I go to Huangquan Lechuan, my Wu woman will never turn back for a man, help me, and it will be difficult to even stand up when I am old."

Li Jiuchuan helped Shi Lan's mother-in-law up, helped her to the table and picked up the oil lamp.

Granny Shi Lan stood in front of Xu Qingye's portrait, looking at the man in the painting, the affection in her eyes gradually faded, and she did not hesitate to hold the lamp under the painting and ignite it.

Granny Shi Lan staggered back, watching the fire on the scroll burn more and more, and a sad smile appeared on her old face.

"Xu Qingye, my Wu clan woman is definitely not something you can lose if you want to, and if you want to lose, I can only bear you first."

As soon as the words fell, Li Jiuchuan saw a circular halo flash from the mouth of Shi Lan's mother-in-law's heart, and the originally round and integrated aura was flickering, getting fainter and fainter.

At this time, a flash of blue light suddenly rushed out from the almost burned picture scroll, and Li Jiuchuan was shocked, and recognized at a glance that it was a wisp of life soul.

Granny Shi Lan was also stunned for a moment, but in the face of the soul that rushed in front of her, she smiled and retreated.

"So you've always been by my side, but so what?"

Click!

The ring on Granny Shilan's chest suddenly broke, and she was already dead.

As the ring was broken, the wisp of life soul trembled, and gradually shattered and disappeared, no matter how much it struggled, it was useless.

Granny Shi Lan's whole body was rapidly weakening, and she sat down in the rocking chair and gasped for breath.

"This matter is over, you go, being seen to increase the incident, thank you for coming to tell me everything today, all cause and effect arise from themselves, and all cause and effect will end with me."

Li Jiuchuan wanted to help Shi Lan's mother-in-law breathe more, maybe she could live a few more days, but she refused.

Li Jiuchuan had admiration in his eyes, bowed deeply to Shi Lan's mother-in-law, and turned to leave.

As the morning sun rose, Granny Shi Lan lay on her head in the rocking chair and slowly closed her eyes, and a tear slipped from the corner of her eye.

The painting hanging in front of him was burned to a pulp, leaving only the ashes of the slag, which was blown by the wind and fell in a flutter......
