Lu Li's first feeling was that thousands of sand and soil had buried him, and he was alone, and a burst of light came to him, "Ah" The three of them shouted and fell, there was a big lake underground, "Puff, puff, puff" The three of them all fell into the lake.

Fortunately, Lu Li is proficient in water, and he kicked his legs twice to reveal the surface of the lake. Xiao Man, as a cat, hates water the most, as if he fell in hot oil, he kicked left and right in horror, Lu Li quickly swam over and lifted Xiao Man up, "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid" Xiao Man was lifted above his head by Lu Li, and he was so heavy that he "snorted". Lu Li couldn't care if Xiaoman was scolding, and hurriedly looked for Mingyang in private, Mingyang didn't know where he saw a boat, he was already standing on the boat, "Lu Li, look"

Lu Li followed the Mingyang as far as he could see, and now the lake where everyone is located is wide and calm, a large lotus flower is in full bloom on the shore, black swans and white swans are leisurely paddling in the water, and the shore is a lush forest, and egrets are flying in the forest.

Mingyang rowed the boat over, Xiao Man shook as soon as he got on the boat, he didn't have time to look into the distance, sat on the bow of the boat and licked his hair.

Lu Li finally came up, she looked around, the woods wrapped around the lake, a big fish jumped out of the water, on the shore, some birds and beasts walked leisurely, everyone looked here, chirping happily. In the distance, brilliant fireworks bloom in the sky, and even though it is daytime, the colors of the fireworks are very clear. More fish jumped out of the water as if to welcome Lu Li, and hundreds of birds flew together and circled above Lu Li's head.

Mingyang and Lu Li looked up, smiled and rowed the boat to the shore. There is a path paved with white cobblestones on the shore, and all the animals on both sides of the road come to watch, "Welcome home." Everyone was saying, "Welcome home." ”

Anxiety turned to excitement, and the path led from the woods to the market, and in front of the stalls, everyone was filled with joy, "Welcome home." The words go on and on.

Lu Li looked at the crowd on both sides of the road, and looked at it in turn, this road led to the center of the secret realm farther away, the whole secret realm is a large circular area, slightly raised in the middle, like a big tent, but this is not made of cloth, but a hundred towering trees are lush and green, and the branches are intertwined with each other, forming a huge almost circular "roof". Under the canopy, the grass is neatly organized, and there are eight paths in the middle, linking the outer side and the central circular Bagua Taiji diagram. This picture is paved with black and white pebbles to create a Tai Chi, a middle-aged man in a beige robe standing in the center of Tai Chi, only to see that his cheeks are narrow and long, and his eyes seem to be carved at random, if it is not shining with the light of a wise man, it will even give people the illusion that he has not opened his eyes, Lu Li feels that this person looks a little similar to the Shuibo of Shushan.

"Welcome home. Smiling to the north, Lu Li and Mingyang glanced at each other, feeling that the one standing in the center of Taiji must be the Supreme of the Secret Realm, so the two of them saluted, "Great Elder." ”

Looking north at Mingyang, "You are from the Demon Realm"

Mingyang showed two small tiger teeth, and gave a salute, "Mingyang sees his predecessors." ”

Xiangbei nodded, looked down at Xiaoman, and said, "Welcome home." ”

Xiaoman stupidly "meowed".

"Looks like you still need to practice. Xiangbei said to Xiao Man with a smile, and then raised his head and said to all the demons: "Today, there are three more Taoist friends in our secret realm, may the secret realm prosper." ”

Everyone shouted in unison: "May the secret realm prosper." ”

Lu Li looked around at everyone, all of them looked simple and unpretentious, as if they were in a city in the human world, both men and women were ordinary, without heavy makeup and glamorous, without murderous anger. Lu Li even wondered if this was a secret realm.

"Silver-haired mother-in-law. "Shouting to the north, in the crowd, out of the old woman for a year. I saw that she was in good spirits, her eyes were shining, her hair was all silver but very thick, and her bun was not messy at all. "You take them to stay first, and then they'll have chosen a place in a few days. ”

The silver-haired granny led Lu Li and them out of the central platform and came to the eastern border of the secret realm. this

There is a piece of dwelling that resembles a loess high slope, and a cave-like dwelling on the towering loess slope. "This way. ”

Lu Li and the three of them followed the silver-haired mother-in-law to the top floor, and pushed the door, "Here, you can stay first." ”

As soon as Lu Li entered the door, he saw that the outside of this cave was looking at the loess, but the inside was very warm. The room is composed of two parts, one entrance door is a bamboo shelf, which can be used to put things or hang some small items. Outside is the reception area, and on the left is a desk with a few books on it. There is a small platform in front of the window where you can sit and enjoy the scenery outside. There is a large long table in the center, and the long wooden stools on both sides look very primitive, but complement the heavy table. Looking inside, there was a small bed with all the bedding, even a few clothes on it, and some toiletries on the dresser.

"The kitten's room is next to it. The silver-haired mother-in-law brought Xiaoman to his room, the layout was the same as Lu Li's room, except for some small things that cats like.

"You know we're coming"

The silver-haired mother-in-law smiled, "You know that the signal of the secret realm is not run into your head by yourself, the powerful signal emitted by this secret realm is all done by Xiang Bei alone, of course he knows that you are coming." ”

Mingyang looked at the room of the two inside and out, "Their room is not bad, so where do I live?"

"You were an accident, but I can make room for you right away. Puma has already chosen a place to live and is about to move out, so I told him to hurry up as soon as possible, and you will be ready to spend the night tonight. ”

"What does it mean to choose a place to live?"

"This room is for you to use for transition, you will all have to live in the secret realm in the future, you can't just have two rooms, why do you have to get a yard, plant some flowers and plants, and rearrange it. ”

"Is that a random choice?"

"As long as you like it, and the neighbors who used to live there have no opinion, you can build a yard by yourself, or build a house upward, as long as the people around you have no opinion. ”

"Oh, Lu Li, then you will have a home in the future. ”

Lu Li smiled, she finally felt at ease now, and the secret realm looked pretty good. "Oh yes, when are you leaving"

"Let's go" the silver-haired mother-in-law looked at Mingyang curiously, "Where are you going?"

"Back to the Demon Realm. ”

"Mingyang, right?"

"Hmm. ”

"Mingyang, you are from the Demon Realm, why did you come to the Secret Realm?"

"I'm curious. ”

The silver-haired mother-in-law's face was not very good, she thought for a while and said, "Mingyang, when you make a decision, you shouldn't be so hasty. ”

"What to decide"

"All decisions, maybe the decisions you make inadvertently will affect you for the rest of your life. ”

Mingyang looked at Lu Li, "What do you mean?"

"Okay, you guys stay first, if something calls me, I'll be on the first floor as soon as I come in. ”

The silver-haired mother-in-law was just about to leave, but Lu Li stopped her, "Silver-haired mother-in-law, I want to go out for a walk, is it okay?"

"The secret realm is your home, of course you can walk around as you please. Let me tell you about the secret realm first, the secret realm is composed of four parts, starting from the big tree platform in the center there are four passages, each passage is a street market, during which there are small streets every few steps, and the small streets are almost all residences, as well as taverns, restaurants, and shops. The place where you fell is to the west of the secret realm, where there are lakes and forests, and many demons like to recuperate there. This side is the east, it is built with reference to the loess slope of the human world, although it looks a little desolate, but when it was established here, it was hoped that everyone could forget the past and face their hearts. To the north is a large area of resting ground, built in reference to Kunlun, and if you are not familiar with it, it is best not to go there

, because there is mana infused there, and it will change itself according to the needs of the practice. To the south is the place of relaxation, where large gatherings are located. ”

"Except for the training ground, there are no other places where you can't go in."

"You can come and go as you like to all places, but you need to ask for permission to go to other people's yards, and you can walk in public places as you like. ”

"Oh good, thank you, Granny Silver. ”

The silver-haired mother-in-law stood at the top of the stairs and smiled and turned to leave, Mingyang was half-lying on the platform in front of Lu Li's window, "Lu Li, your secret realm is quite big, and there is no end in sight." ”

"I'll see, I'll see. The two of them leaned through the window and looked out, "Look over there, that's where we came, and the lake and the forest. ”

"Let's go out for a walk and buy something. ”

"Okay, I'll call Xiaoman. But Xiaoman was very satisfied with his home, and a cat didn't need anything, so he stayed in the room and didn't go out. Mingyang had no choice but to go shopping casually with Lu Li. "Your secret realm is quite lively, a bit like our demons. ”

"Look at the houses they built. Mingyang looked at it, the streets were very straight, but the houses were all twisted and oblique, exactly the same as the Demon Realm, "Haha, Lu Li, you have been in the Human Realm for a long time, and the houses in our Demon Realm are also like this, when everyone builds a house, they build it casually according to their mood, and then maybe they need to add some areas for any function, so the houses are all irregular." Unlike them, they can only think about it before building it, and after they are built, they can't change it unless they are rebuilt. ”

"Oh, I see. Lu Li was curious everywhere he looked, "Do you sell things in the Demon Realm?"

"yes. ”

"Everyone is a demon, it's good to change, why do you still come out to trade. ”

"That's how tiring that spell is, and besides, you have to have something to change for you, how convenient it is to come out and buy it. Besides, there are so many knick-knacks, how can you think that the knick-knacks that people who sell things come up with are good. ”

"What a gadget"

"For example, some powders with specific functions, some tools with mana, and some items that can be changed, just like us, the spell doesn't work, buy some gadgets to defend yourself. ”

"Oh, but I'm in the secret realm, isn't it safe, you can buy more, and when you go back, you'll be alone, you have to pay attention to safety." ”

"Hahaha, tomorrow I will talk to your Great Elder, ask him to write a letter to my eldest brother, and let my eldest brother come and pick me up. ”

"That's right, I want to meet your eldest brother and see if he is as good as you say. ”

"Of course there is, my eldest brother is fine, I haven't gone back for so many days, he must be in a hurry. ”

Lu Li looked at Mingyang's showing off, and thought: It must be good to have a family to worry about. "When you go back in the future, I will definitely miss you. ”

"Hey, then you come to the Demon Realm to find me, I can still show off in front of everyone, look, this is my friend from the secret realm, hahahaha. ”

Lu Li laughed, "Okay, it's a word." ”

The two of them were too tired to go around for a long time, so they planned to go back, but the silver-haired mother-in-law came over to them. "Lu Li, it's almost time, let's go. ”

"Where to go"

"Welcome ceremony, oh I forgot to tell you, every time a demon comes to the secret realm, a grand welcome ceremony will be held that night, just to the south. ”

"There's even a welcome ceremony."

"You're home safely, and of course everyone has to celebrate. ”

Lu Li looked at Mingyang with a smug smile, Mingyang rolled his eyes, "Isn't it just that you are welcome." ”

"I'm welcome anyway. Hey, hey, hey. ”
