Chapter 4 Unknown Tasks
Summer is busy, but it's not without its benefits, after all, the summer has long daylight hours and the temperature is suitable, and no matter where you come from, passers-by usually set off early.
When they arrived at Longbow, the sun had just set, and it was rare to have customers as late at night as in winter, so they took this opportunity to take a break, and everyone in the shop sat down for a meal.
This is the time that belongs to them completely, talking to each other, gathering the news collected during the day, and seeing if it is useful, in short, there is only about such an hour to enjoy it with peace of mind.
As usual they had a table in the middle hall, which of course was invisible to the others, and was placed here just because it was close to the door, and if something came, they could react immediately.
The rest of the people don't see them sitting here, they don't feel anything wrong, they are all there in the eyes of the guests, and they can be greeted at any time.
Those guests saw that it was just their illusion, this trick is very useful but not commonly used, after all, the illusion is never real, simple things are okay, complex things they can't do.
They can't collect intelligence very well, and of course there is an important one, in case the people here see the flaws, they still do a lot of things to make that person forget, which is quite troublesome.
The table was set up, and soon everyone was seated, and they would drink tea for a while, watching the people around them go in and out as a complete spectator, and as usual, there was still no useful news today.
They are very used to this, after all, they have been here since the development of Longbow Town, and they have witnessed everything in the Longbow Formation, but they have never had what they wanted.
In fact, they themselves can't tell what they want, the only thing they know is to observe what is different, and once something suspicious happens, they have to tell Yu Yuanchu, as for what is suspicious, it is up to them to decide.
This in itself is unreasonable, let them come without anything, it is completely irresponsible, but unfortunately this is the task given by Nuwa Niangniang, and all the unreasonableness is reasonable.
They are very happy to do this, and after a long time, they will occasionally complain, which is not contradictory, they are always dissatisfied with the boring life here.
No matter how good things are, they will become meaningless after more than ten years of engagement, but fortunately, every two or three days, they all have such an opportunity to drink tea and chat.
Of course, these are not the most important, the most important thing is always only one thing to eat the dishes made by Lu Jin, they have said more than once, thanks to the dishes of Lu Jin, they can prolong such a boring life for more than ten years, otherwise they would have stopped doing it a long time ago.
Having said that, they know each other in their hearts that they will not quit, this is their duty, although these words are a bit exaggerated, but I have to admit that the dishes made by Yu Jin are indeed very delicious.
This also depends on the fact that there are so many ingredients in the world, almost every time they can eat something different, and when Yu Jin cooks, except for Xiao Qi, people are not allowed to be on the side.
The statement given by Yu Jin is that they only have a mouth that can eat, but they don't have a pair of hands that can do it.
The ingredients themselves are very noble, and the process of turning from ingredients into food is naturally very sacred, and only those who understand such a sacred moment are qualified to see it, and others are blaspheming it when they see it.
Although everyone disagreed with Yu Jin's statement, after all, the Five Organs Temple still needed her food to pay tribute, so they all complied, this is a good thing for them, after all, after a tired day, it is good to take a rest.
Yu Yan picked up a cup of tea on the table and took a sip and said, "In the end, it's better to be at this time, you don't have to do anything." Lu Mu also took a sip of tea, smiled slightly, and raised his head to look at the people upstairs.
At this moment, the inn is also rare quiet, even if someone speaks, it is a whisper, Lu Mu is very satisfied with this, after all, such a beautiful night is afraid of being disturbed.
Sitting with Yan Yan is Qiu Li, his age looks a little older than Yan Yan, but he is in his early twenties, he is very tall, even if he also sits down and looks at it, he is half a head taller than Yan Yan.
Like Yu Yan, although he is also dressed as a little two, it is difficult to hide the heroic spirit on his body, especially those eyes, which are full of tenderness at all times, and they will fall into it at a glance.
Yu Yan always made fun of him, saying that Senior Brother Qiu's eyes were even more powerful than those of good babies, and if there was a chance, they must be asked to look at each other to see who could subdue whom.
Qiu Li has never seen a good baby, every time he hears Yan say this, he is very interested, and always asks Yan Yan to tell him about the good baby, at first Yan Yan is still very interested, and when he talks about the excitement, he will dance with his hands, but gradually he will not work.
When Qiu Li asked again, Yu Yan put on a bitter face, begging Qiu Li to let him go, he had already finished talking about the good baby, the reason why Qiu Li was like this is also Yu Yan's problem, every time he said it, it was inevitable that there would be exaggerated elements, so that Qiu Li was not curious.
This is also the reason why he wants to come out this time, saying that he has missed it once last time, and he must not miss it again this time, not only because he hopes to see the good baby with his own eyes, but more importantly, he also has to take a good look at the world.
Yu Yuanchu didn't want him to come out, because he still had an important task, but he couldn't help but beg hard, so he let him come out, Qiu Li's personality is similar to Yu Yan, both of them are very talkative, full of curiosity about everything, with him, it brings a lot of fun to the boring life.
Qiu Li said with a smile on his face: "This is natural, we have been out for so many years, and we will not die of depression because of such days." ”
Qiu Li said that he took another sip of tea, and before he could put down the cup, Yu Yan looked at him and said, "We rely on such a day, senior brother, you are all, you still rely on a wish that can never be realized." ”
Yu Yan said that his face was full of smiles, but he didn't laugh, and it was obvious that he was holding back, and he glanced at Yu Yan, and then looked at the others.
Everyone's faces were smiling, and they instantly understood, their faces turned red, and they shouted at Yan Yan: "Stinky boy, you are playing me again." Yan Yan couldn't help laughing anymore, everyone else laughed out loud, and Qiu Li also laughed embarrassedly with everyone.
After laughing, Ho Tian glanced at Yu Mu and said, "Senior brother, what have you gained today?" ”
Lu Mu shook his head and said, "No, there's nothing special. "Hoarding the sky is next to the enemy, his figure is still very fat compared to everyone, and it is precisely because of this that his face is very kind, and he always looks happy.
"Senior brother, your question is redundant, if there is anything, it would have been there a long time ago, how could it have waited until today. ”
Ho Tian smiled and said, "You still have to care about it, after all, that's our task, and it's not good if you miss something." ”
Yu Mu nodded and said, "Senior brother is right, if you miss our efforts, it will be in vain." ”
Yu Yan thought for a moment and said, "That's not good, I don't want to stay in this place for so long, I really regret taking this task, it's more boring than training." ”
Lu Mu looked at him and knew that he was just complaining, everyone knew that the hardest thing for Yu Yan was training, and that was really a thing that had been repeated for decades or even hundreds of years, and many cultivators had said that if they could stick to the training, there was nothing they couldn't accomplish.
There is no exaggeration in this, cultivation is already a very painful thing, and at the same time, they all understand that cultivation is very necessary, especially for Lu Mu and Yu Yan, who have experienced the events of Renji Village.
In many cases, only if the power is strong enough to do things, if the power is small, not only will it not play any role, but it may not even be able to decide even death.
This is not the most painful, they are not afraid of death, at least they can face their own death calmly, what they dare not face is the death of their companions, and it is the kind of person who can only watch, without any way.
Lu Mu has experienced such a thing, he doesn't want to go through it once, there is only one way to try his best to avoid such a situation, try to improve his cultivation, they don't advocate strength, but they have to admit that in most cases, strength is the best way to solve problems.
Regarding despair, Lu Mu once discussed with Yan Yan, and Yan Yan said that seeing his companion being killed and being unable to do anything was not the most desperate, the most desperate thing was to kill his companion with his own hands.
Lu Mu did not agree with Lu Yan's point of view, because Lu Mu felt that what Lu Yan said would not appear, the so-called companion was the closest person, whether it would be or not, he would not bear to kill the closest person, such a thing does not exist, and things that do not exist naturally do not count.
Yu Yan didn't refute it, and this question stopped, in fact, Yu Mu vaguely had an idea, the situation that Yu Yan said was still possible.
If the companion doesn't remember anything, and there is no concept of companionship in his heart, there will be no companion, and then it may appear, and such a thought will be forcibly eliminated by Lu Mu in an instant, how can such a cruel thing appear.
What happened in Renji Village was a growth for all the participants, and they learned a lot about who they were, what they were facing, what was the gap, and what was despair.
In short, whether they want it or not, these things appear in front of them without disguise, and there are many moments for them that are enough to destroy everything for them, although the end result is not very bad, but the process is so unforgettable.
Yu Yan said that after the events of Renji Village, he was reborn again, this is the very rare pessimistic thing that Yu Yan said in a pessimistic tone, and Lu Mu knew that the reason why Yu Yan was like this was not only because this was what he said, but also what he thought in his heart.
After Renji Village, they returned to the Rui Clan, all of them were practicing hard, and their efforts were always rewarded, and their cultivation had increased a lot compared to before, which was a good thing for them.
Although they knew that this kind of cultivation was still not enough to face greater difficulties, their hearts were different, and no matter what happened in the future, their hearts were resolute.
Qiu Li didn't participate in that operation, from the description of Yu Yan's words and their later performance, he could also see something, and others could also see something, no one said that everyone in the Rui clan had changed differently, and everyone's progress was huge.
Until they came out this time, they were cultivating harshly, and this task was still assigned to them by Nuwa Niangniang, and they still didn't say anything, and everyone knew in their hearts that this time the matter was estimated to be no smaller than the matter in Renji Village, and something might happen.
No matter what happens, they will face it seriously, they all held this mood when they first came out, and with the passage of time, the original momentum was much weaker, and the tension in their hearts was much less.
Although they are always reminding each other to be careful, their hearts are not as full as when they first came out, but fortunately, Yu Yuanchu has to come every two years, and they will be inexplicably nervous as soon as Yu Yuanchu comes, and even their momentum has risen a lot.
