The early morning wind was moist, through the treetop valley, blowing on the surface of the river, setting off small waves.

The rising sun is very red, like the red decoration on the sedan chair of the wedding carriage, which is a very gratifying color.

After bidding farewell to Master Baihe last night, Xu Huaigu went down from the temple and walked to the riverside according to the previous appointment with Luzhu.

Along the way, he was reminiscing about the half a year he spent with everyone in the temple, and he felt a little sad about parting, but it didn't seem to be as intense as in previous years.

He remembered the four years he had lived on Crested Mountain as a child. At that time, the parting was so thorough, there was no sadness at all, and Xu Huaigu picked up his sword and went on the road.

At that time, his mind was full of rivers and lakes, and he just wanted to walk around and see more different people and different things.

Later, he met Zuo Qiu Xun, Yu Qin, and Huang Shan. The four of them walked side by side on the road for a long time, and the parting at that time seemed to hurt to the bone marrow, and they couldn't wait to send ten miles to a long pavilion, and then ten miles.

But how can there be a feast in the world that will not be dispersed? finally endured it silently. Now, there are many partings, and the taste of parting has changed again.

It's like brewing a jar of wine under a peach tree and willow tree, although I am a little reluctant, but I also know that after a few more years, the wine will become more and more fragrant and pleasant.

At that time, if you taste it again, the taste will be several times better than now. Maybe it's just because he understands this that Xu Huaigu feels better.

That's about the change of growth. Xu Huaigu walked on the pebbles of the river beach, glanced at the river, but saw that the green beads were already standing by the river, waiting for a long time.

She has changed her gray and cyan clothes today, and the various beads and hairpins on her head have also changed their styles, but the matching is always very elegant and neat.

Xu Huaigu didn't know that Luzhu also liked to change clothes often, he just thought that the water god Niangniang, who had lived for hundreds or even thousands of years like her, would still have the heart to spend on dressing?

Among the monks, there seems to be two extremes of the dress. One faction is like the black pupil, always wearing that black robe, as if to bring the clothes into their own characteristics, so that people can think of her when they see the clothes, and the Tsing Yi caftan of the Fuyao Sect belongs to this faction.

The other group is completely different, preferring to change clothes and wear. Anyway, there is money, so it's not bad to buy a few more clothes, Zuo Qiuxun rode the white horse when he walked with them back then, and he always had a heavy package on his body, which was full of her clothes, and it was not the same for half a month.

Or the left hill that rode a white horse back then. In his memory, it was about when he went to Zixia Sect to participate in the Dongfu Yaozhou Dao Meeting, Zuo Qiu Xun and Xie Qingyun rushed to save him.

Since then, Zuo Qiu Xun has never changed into worldly clothes, and has always worn that white robe.

It was from that time on, Zuoqiu Xun's inner demons gradually became unable to suppress it. Luzhu didn't speak on the river, but stopped when he saw Xu Huaigu walking, stopping in place as if he was reminiscing about something, thinking a little.

Xu Huaigu finally sighed, ended his memories, and continued to walk towards Luzhu. Lu Zhu glanced at Xu Huaigu, weighed it a little in his heart, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Xu Gongzi has broken through the realm again?" Xu Huaigu was not in a good mood, but just smiled and replied, "Really? It turned out that it was really a breakthrough, and I thought it was just the late stage of the Seven Realms. Reading the book, Lu Zhu nodded in affirmation: "It's really broken through." I see that the breath on your body is at least the Eight Realms. Xu Huaigu replied: "Thank you Miss Luzhu for telling me." Lu Zhu smiled at the wind, put the wind-blown hair behind his sideburns, stepped on the river, walked towards the heart of the river, and said, "It seems that you are not in a good mood." Xu Huaigu also walked towards the center of the river, Luzhu supported him with the river water, and the two walked side by side on the river.

Xu Huaigu smiled a little apologetically: "Let you see it." A lot has happened in the past two days, and this morning I thought of my old friend again, and I couldn't help but feel a little sad. Luzhu smiled, "You're such a weirdo." In other words, other people should be overjoyed to break through the seven realms and eight realms, you are good, and you are still worried, do you want other monks to die of anger? Xu Huaigu couldn't help laughing, he looked at Lu Zhu, and only felt that this woman was really interesting.

Luzhu also looked at him with a smile, and his smile was like a well after a rain, and when the water was full, it overflowed. She asked again: "The question shouldn't be asked, how old is Xu Gongzi this year?" She originally thought in her heart, no matter how talented the person in front of her was, he would have at least forty or fifty years of cultivation after breaking through the Eight Realms.

Two days ago, Xu Huaigu told her her name, and she also went to check it, only to know that this person was not an unknown person, but a new born sword fetus from Dongfu Yaozhou, and it was no wonder that the black pupil valued him.

It's just that her understanding of Xu Huaigu is limited to this, the people in Qilishan seem to be quite taboo about him, and they don't want to sell more information, she doesn't know that Xu Huaigu is only twenty-two this year.

Xu Huaigu answered her truthfully: "Twenty-two years old." When Lu Zhu heard this, he covered his mouth and smiled: "I'm asking seriously, Xu Gongzi doesn't want to make fun of me." Looking at your appearance, it's about twenty-two, but you must have used that face-fixing spell, otherwise how could you break through the Eight Realms at such a young age? It's Lord Black Hitomi, and when he was twenty-two years old, he didn't have the cultivation of the Eight Realms. Xu Huaigu saw that Luzhu didn't believe it, and he didn't explain much, but asked with a smile: "If you don't believe it, forget it." It's you, how old are you? Luzhu stretched out his finger and put it on his cheek, looking up at the sky, as if he was counting carefully.

After a while, she replied: "It should be more than nine hundred years old, and I can't remember the specific time, and I have never counted it anyway." After all, we are the gods of mountains and rivers, how can our cultivation speed be comparable to that of people? ”

"More than nine hundred years ago......" Xu Huaigu muttered,

"At that time, the demon clan had not yet invaded, so it was a different scene if you wanted to come to the Middle Domain, right?" Luzhu nodded, looked up at the sky, and replied with some amazement: "That's nature." But in fact, for Flying Fish Island, there is not much difference. It's just that the vicissitudes of life, the names of the sects have changed one after another, and the famous monks have changed batch after batch, but in essence, they have not changed the same. Those of us who are gods of mountains and rivers have a terrible lifespan, but our cultivation is also slow, and we can only be witnesses of everything, and very few of us can participate. Xu Huaigu couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm really envious, if I were given such an opportunity, I would prefer to be a god of mountains and rivers." Lu Zhu smiled: "Okay, then I might as well hand over the Luhua River to you, and I will travel all over the world by myself, how about it?" Xu Huaigu suppressed his smile and asked seriously, "Is this really possible?" Lu Zhu didn't smile anymore and replied, "It's impossible to talk about playing." People are people, gods are gods, they are not the same in nature, it is impossible. Xu Huaigu had no choice but to give up this idea of rebelling against the principles of heaven, and Lu Zhu took the opportunity to say: "It seems that what I said is getting more and more biased, if Xu Gongzi is ready to leave, it is better to go to the Water God Palace with me, it is more convenient to talk there." Xu Huaigu had nothing to do, and he was even a little curious about what gifts the Ten Realms Water God had prepared for him as a thank you.

Lu Zhu suddenly pulled Xu Huaigu's hand, and said with a mischievous smile: "But you have to hurry." Before Xu Huaigu could react, he saw that the body standing in front of him turned into a puddle of flowing water and fell into the river in an instant, and then an invisible force pulled him to the bottom of the river.

The power of this river water is simply incomparable to that of the fake water god a few days ago, and it is completely irresistible. Xu Huaigu suddenly entered the water, and suddenly felt that the sky was spinning, and all the scenery in front of him became blurred.

He was nervous, remembered what Luzhu had said, and grabbed her hand hard. He only felt that it was pitch black in front of him, and the water around him was flowing rapidly through his body, but it did not hinder him in the slightest, and it was completely different from the feeling of entering the water in the river normally, it was amazing.

Gradually, he began to get used to the feeling, and even enjoyed it a little. The passage of time slowed down, and he thought that after a long time, there would be a time for a stick of incense, but in fact it was only a dozen breaths.

Xu Huaigu felt that the darkness in front of him was gradually receding, the flow speed of the water around him also slowed down, and a magnificent underwater palace appeared in front of him.

He and Lu Zhu were both deep at the bottom of the river at this time, Xu Huaigu subconsciously held his breath and didn't dare to breathe, so Lu Zhu smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, you just inhale as outside." With me here, is it possible that you are still afraid of drowning? Xu Huaigu hesitated for a while before taking a bold breath, but it was not what he expected.

He thought he would take a sip of river water into it, but the river water did not enter his body at all, but a stream of air was sucked in by him, and then exhaled, and a bunch of bubbles floated to the surface of the river.

This feeling is very strange, after all, it is against many years of life experience, although Xu Huaigu knows that Jiang Shui will not hurt him, but he is still not used to it.

Lu Zhu just smiled: "It's okay, it's good to get used to it after a while." After all, it is also a novel experience, if you are really uncomfortable, I will keep the surrounding rivers away from you, and leave you a space to come out. Xu Huaigu excused himself: "No, I also want to try this underwater life." As soon as he said that, he realized that he had opened his mouth in the water, and he panicked and wanted to close his mouth.

But in fact, Lu Zhu has used a spell, and Jiang Shui will not touch Xu Huaigu at all anyway, and that appearance made Lu Zhu laugh and bend over.

Xu Huaigu was a little embarrassed, so he said: "It's the first time I've spoken in the water, so don't make fun of me anymore." Lu Zhu raised his eyebrows, smiled and soothed: "It's okay, there are many sects in various sects that want to discuss with me and enter the river, most of them are your reactions, and some of them can't even compare to you." You don't know what the great monks who are so graceful on the outside look when they get out into the water. Xu Huaigu took a few more breaths and got used to it a little, so that he was able to take a good look at this Water God Palace.

I saw that the whole of this water god palace was in the shape of a conch, spiraling upward, as high as twenty or thirty zhang.

The palaces are made of a kind of gray stone, blending with the darkness of the depths of the river, and the general appearance is a darker style, shining with a strange and strange light under the sparkling reflection of the river surface at high places.

Xu Huaigu looked over from a distance, and at a glance saw the busy figures in the Water God Palace. Most of them were young men and women, dressed in uniform and carrying various scrolls or books in their hands, hurrying from one place to another.

Xu Huaigu is very familiar with this scene, isn't this the scenery in the palace of a secular dynasty? Seeing that Xu Huaigu had been looking at the Water God Palace, Lu Zhu didn't blink his eyes, so he explained, "Are you curious that there are so many people?" In fact, they are all small water gods. ”

"It's not easy to manage such a large river, I just have infinite energy, and I can't take care of it. As you can see, it is like a court in a secular dynasty, where everyone has his own duties, each in his own place, and each in charge of his own affairs. The god of water is not like the god of the mountain, who only cares about his own one-third of an acre. A great river often flows for thousands of miles, so the water god can never be said to be a single person, but a group of people. I am only responsible for the name of the Luhua River Water God to the outside world, as well as to supervise this underwater dynasty. Xu Huaigu unconsciously admired: "I never thought that there would be such a grand scene even at the bottom of the river, it is really magnificent!" Lu Zhu was praised, as if he smiled a little proudly, and pulled him forward: "Let's go, I'll take you in and have a look." Being pulled by this, Xu Huaigu realized that he had been holding her hand, and quickly pulled it back.

But when I saw two red marks on Luzhu's hand, I thought that I had pulled it too tightly before, and I couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

Lu Zhu hurriedly lowered her head and walked forward, and Xu Huaigu saw that the roots of her ears seemed to be a little red. So he and Luzhu walked one after the other to the palace.
