At the time of the Middle Yuan, the people in the town put up lanterns, firecrackers, lion dances, and garden operas to dispel the gloom and coldness of the season, and like to enjoy the moon on the red maple lake in the town, and put lotus lanterns to pray for blessings and wishes.

I don't know if it's because of the liveliness of the town, but in recent days, Wang Ruoli's body has improved a little.

It is said that Wang Ruoli came to Luoshui Town, although he lived and was sick for a long time, he still got acquainted with a lot of young playmates, firstly, as the only son of the Jingyang Wang family, with a noble identity and many stammers;

Among them, there are four of the best, one is the third son of the Huang family, a rich man in Zhendong, named Huang Jinyu, whose name is extravagant, but he is a full little fat man, and his partners like to call him Huang San Fat, who seems to be honest in appearance, but in fact he is ghostly and weird, and is in a wealthy family of businessmen.

There is also a son of the Ruan family in the Zhenyang Dart Bureau in the town, named Ruan Jinglun, who likes to dance with guns and sticks when he is young, and he doesn't know a single big character, and his parents are blind to give him such a literary name, but he is in a martial arts family, not to talk about poetry and books, and the elders don't care much. Ruan Jinglun has been trained since he was a child, and he has developed a strong body, although he is only eleven years old, his body is more than seven feet long, and he is still a cultivator in the Qi training period, I heard that in the test not long ago, he has already played 60 Qi power, which can be called the strongest person in this group of friends.

The other is named Mi Fei, who is over thirteen years old, born with a little white face, handsome and romantic, and always claims to be a descendant of the royal family, although he is often ridiculed by his friends because of this, but it does not affect his boastful state of mind, and he always has to nag several times a day. Mi Fei has never seen his father, but has been living in the town with his mother, the tofu shop run by his mother is delicious, the business is booming, and it is famous far and wide, and it is also known as the "tofu beauty", which is also a well-off family. During this period, although there were many people who coveted Mrs. Mi's beauty, they never heard any rumors.

The last one is a little girl, the youngest, is the youngest daughter of Ye Wushuang, the captain of the town guard, named Ye Qiushui, cute and likable, with two small pigtails, she has no opinions, she is a little heel who is used to following behind everyone and calling "Brother Ruoli". However, no one dared to despise her, after all, her father was the highest leading officer in Luoshui Town, and he held a captain with thousands of soldiers.

In the evening of this day, after Wang Ruoli had dinner and drank his daily decoction, he got up and went out of the courtyard, taking only Yu Lao with him.

Near the street outside the door, there are already small friends with small servants waiting over there.

"Brother Li'er, this way!" As soon as he was discharged from the hospital, Huang Sanpang, who was in the interface, waved his hand and shouted in the voice of the duck male.

Following the prestige, Wang Ruoli saw Ruan Jinglun and Huang Jinyu standing on the corner of the street, one was nearly one meter eight tall and the other was one meter four, with the same childishness on their faces, standing together, which was extremely eye-catching.

Several people converged, took their followers, and went to the Ye Mansion in a mighty manner.

Walking to the door of the house, I saw Mi Fei bring Ye Qiushui out, today's Ye Qiushui didn't comb two small braids anymore, but let the hair hang down naturally, the hair on the temples swayed with the wind, but it just covered the cheeks, usually a little baby fat face, at this time it seems that there is a little more charm of a little woman.

When Ye Qiushui saw Wang Ruoli, he ran over happily, grabbed Wang Ruoli's arm, and called Ruoli's brother sweetly, making a few small haircuts on the side stunned and shaking their heads.

A group of people followed the lively crowd of people at night to the market. Although Luoshui Town is a military town under the jurisdiction of Jingyang City, it has a total population of more than 500,000, and the population of the market center of the military town alone is more than 200,000.

At this time, it is already crowded, all kinds of firelight and candlelight, shining like daylight, and there are various stalls to take the opportunity to sell all kinds of toys and gifts, as well as all kinds of wonderful juggling circus, all kinds of tempting food and snacks......

Gradually at night, a few people were tired of playing, so they instructed the little maid to buy a few lotus lanterns, and said that they went to Hongfeng Lake to put lamps and pray.

Hongfeng Lake, cool breeze, although the night is getting deeper, but there are still a lot of people around the lakeside, occasionally a few muffs and words, with the small laughter gradually to the depths of the dense forest.

Huang Sanpang couldn't hold back the most, hula hula ran straight to the lake, beckoned the little guy to light a lotus lantern, and was about to put it into the lake.

Suddenly, there was a commotion next to him, and I don't know who shouted, "The water is rising!"

A few people looked into the lake, from the middle of the lake came a gray wall, no, this is the rising water, where is the wall, it is clear that the lake water is several feet high out of thin air, whistling towards the shore, into the eyes to see the lake in the lake The lotus lanterns that were placed earlier were mostly rolled up and extinguished by the water wall, and fortunately there are these lights, so that everyone by the lake can find this sudden change.

Huang Sanpang was so frightened that he shook his hand, the lotus lantern fell into the lake, and Yu Lao next to him was quick to pick up Huang Sanpang, pulled Wang Ruoli with one hand, unfolded his body, and hurriedly withdrew a few feet back, the water wall was still rushing, and he had to take the two of them to jump onto the branches of the big trees by the lake.

The other guards in the followers also followed suit, bringing Ye Qiushui and Ruan Jinglun with them, as for those little guys, they were not so lucky, and they were swept into the water like those tourists who didn't have time to run.

Wang Ruoli looked around at the people around him, he didn't see Mi Fei, he looked far away, and through the faint light, he vaguely saw Mi Xiaobai's face sinking in the water in front of him, revealing his pale face calling for help.

"Yu Lao, please save Mi Fei. Wang Ruoli was a little anxious.

Yu Lao looked at the water in the middle of the lake in the distance and slowed down a little, and he had to be ordered by the young master, so he said cautiously, "Don't worry, young master, you stay here and don't move, the old slave will come when he goes." So saying, he jumped down from the treetops and swept towards Mifei.

At this time, a shining red light protrudes from the center of the lake, and flies straight to the sky, if you watch carefully, you must be able to see the center of this red light, which is extraordinarily bright red, and the shape is more like a demon red maple leaf, only to see this demon red maple leaf shoot into the sky quickly, it seems to expand infinitely, and suddenly, with the rapid spread of red light, the whole sky becomes red, as if the sky is burning, and it will not disperse for a long time.

Strange to say, the sky above had become so bright and bright red that there was not a single red light around the underground lake, especially in the dark night.

I don't know how many miles away, on a boulder between the peaks, a woman in a white silver snow gauze skirt stared at an ancient mirror in front of her in surprise, only to see that the mirror was the scene of Hongfeng Lake burning the sky at the moment.

"The breath of the shattered soul leaked out, causing the scene of burning the sky, great! It's really burning the sky!" The woman in the white dress straightened out her breezy sideburns, lightly opened her lips, and the corners of her mouth turned into a curved crescent, "Finally found the place where Huoyun Taishang died, looking at the direction, it should be in the territory of the Great Chu Immortal Dynasty of the Shenyuan Continent." ”

The woman in the white dress stood up lightly and collected the ancient mirror: "It's a pity that there is only one scene of destruction, and the scope of the Great Chu Immortal Dynasty is too wide, and it takes a lot of effort to find it." As she spoke, the figure of the woman in the white dress had disappeared between the peaks.

At the same time, above the distant sky, an antique palace loomed, and leisurely, a sigh of vicissitudes came from the palace: "After all, I can't beat the years, but I can't help it......"

"Old man Chongming, it's time for you to fall, if you lose, just admit defeat obediently, don't talk about anything, don't do anything!" A rough voice unceremoniously interrupted the former's sigh.

"Fart, Mu Laosi, how could I Chongming lose!" the former argued unwillingly......

Yu Lao rushed to rescue Mi Fei, wrapped him up on the treetops to take a look, and suddenly found that what about the young master?

Huang San, Fat Ye Qiushui, and several people next to him also looked at each other, and they didn't know when Wang Ruoli disappeared. Yu Lao was in a hurry, and flew down the tree again, looking for Wang Ruo inside and out.

It is said that Wang Ruoli suddenly encountered the lake water irrigation, and the original son itself was weak, and the moisture of the lake water was even more unbearable, only to see a wave in front of him, Wang Ruoli stumbled under his feet, and actually fell directly from the branch.

However, instead of falling into the water as expected, he became sitting on a patch of grass.

Wang Ruoli stood up, only to see the scene in front of him, it seemed to be the same as the scene when he was playing in the water by the lake a few days ago, it was also the same red maple mountain, the lake water was clear, and the grass was green, but not far from the lake, there was a white-haired old man, who was sitting there fishing.

The peaceful scenery in front of him is a little weird compared to the chickens and dogs jumping in front of him.

Wang Ruoli walked lightly to the fishing man, bowed down and said, "This old man, please forgive the boy for daring to ask where this is?"

Lao Su put down the fishing rod, leaned over and glanced at Wang Ruoli slightly, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "A few days ago, you kid only played here, why, don't you remember?"

When Wang Ruoli heard this, he panicked in his heart, and sure enough, he was afraid that he had fallen into the control of others, but he didn't know who the old man in front of him was?

In the middle of Wang Ruoli's thoughts, the floating water on the lake splashed and shook again and again, as if a big fish was hooked, Lao Suo was overjoyed to see this, and hurriedly picked up the fishing rod, and pulled it up with his right hand. Wang Ruoli's gaze also looked away, and he was trying to see what kind of big fish was caught on the surface!

Suddenly, the scene in front of them suddenly changed, and it became two people standing in front of the red maple hall of the red maple building, only to see the red maple leaves in front of the hall swaying in the wind, and it seemed to be nodding in front of the four strong characters of "Heaven rewards diligence" on the horizontal plaque in the lobby.

Lao Suo quietly turned around and said to Wang Ruoli: "For half a year, I don't know who has always stood sullenly under this plaque, sighing in vain; I don't know who used to shout at these four big characters, God rewards hard work? Why did God make my body so weak? Why did I practice so diligently but achieved nothing?"

Wang Ruo was so distracted that he couldn't answer.

Lao Suo saw that Wang Ruo was embarrassed from his face, but he just shook his head, opened and closed between his eyebrows and eyes, and the scene in front of him changed again, turning into two people standing in the maple forest of the mountains, only to see that behind the two of them was a high stone, and the stone was written in ancient style with three vigorous characters: Fenglin Mountain.

Lao Suo caressed these big characters of historical precipitation, as if he was talking to himself: "Back then, I swung my sword and carved these three words with mana, and since then I have been far away from my homeland, one person and one sword, smiling proudly in the sky, and I have thought that it has been more than 5,000 years." ”

Lao Suo ignored Wang Ruoli, but continued to sigh: "People are dying of old age, and after all, they are worried about the fallen leaves and returning to the roots, alas, is this the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao?"

Wang Ruoli couldn't help but slander in his heart: Don't be ashamed to speak out! Who doesn't know that cultivators are unrestrained and practice against the heavens, which has already violated the way of heaven, and through cultivation they have gained abilities that ordinary people do not have, and they have experienced more ups and downs, and they will inevitably have something to pay, and the so-called balance and order of all things is probably like this, so although cultivators are more powerful, they are often not as old as ordinary leisurely people, unless they are above the spiritual realm......

After Lao Suo finished speaking, he turned to look at Wang Ruoli, and a trace of kindness appeared in the corner of his eyes: "You kid knows that your body is too weak, if nothing happens, you won't live to be eighteen years old!"

When Wang Ruoli heard Lao Suo's judgment, he felt an inexplicable sense of relief in his heart, but what followed was unwillingness like overturning the river and the sea.

"Please help me!" Wang Ruo was like grabbing a life-saving rope grass.

"You and I are not related, why did the old man help you?" looked at Wang Ruoli with a smile.

Wang Ruoli was speechless for a moment.

"Haha!" Lao Suo laughed heartily, "Life is in the world, when you are free and easy, indulge in pleasure! When the old man is in oblivion, he just wants to find someone to talk to, that is, he feels that he has a fate with you, that is, he looks at you, and that's enough! Haha, boy, go back!"

Suddenly, a red light was dazzling, and when Wang Ruoli opened his eyes again, he found that he was on the trunk of a tree again, all the things before, like a dream, only a bright red maple leaf lying in the palm of his hand, telling himself that everything just now was not a dream!

At this time, Yu Lao happened to grab the branch, saw Wang Ruoli, and said in surprise: "Young master, you are back!"

Wang Ruoli nodded, put the maple leaf in his arms and put it away, and left the Red Maple Lake with everyone.

At this time, in fact, the lake has gradually returned to calm, but the residents and farmers within a radius of several miles have suffered, the streets, residences, farmland, etc. have been damaged, many chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep have been lost, and many people have been washed away by the flood, and there is no trace of them.
