After Lu Ye used the Eight Treasures of Tiande Furnace Fire to refine the Soul Hooking Gu, Li Shaoquan and Lu Fengyuan let go of Ma Hongchao and said goodbye to him and Yingzhen Temple.

Li Shaoquan didn't say anything "goodbye" to the two, because "goodbye" means never to see each other again.

Lu Ye is also not a person who likes to say goodbye. I used to be young and ignorant, but later I found that every goodbye became a farewell.

So far apart, the only wish is to be well with each other.

Seeing off Li Shaoquan and his wife, Lu Ye turned around and returned to the small wine shop to continue drinking.

The person next to him was replaced by Ojinji Temple. He looked at Lu Ye and said, "I can help you refine that floating cloud boat." ”

However, Lu Ye was of little use in taking the floating cloud boat.

"I've got you. ”

Ying Zhensi looked at Lu Ye in surprise, and pointed his index finger into the air and said, "I'm starting to believe that you really fell from there." ”

"You're not leaving?"

"You're not leaving!"

Lu Ye shook the empty cup towards Yingzhen Temple and said, "I haven't drunk enough, I want to drink a few more sips." ”

"I know there's one place where red wine is the best. If you don't have anywhere else to go, let's have another drink or two in another place. Not far away, only one street away from Lu Dongrun's Zhenbei Hou Mansion, are you interested?"

Lu Ye looked at Ying Zhenji and said, "Are you interested?"

Ying Zhensi said with a smile: "His family's wine is good, and the proprietress is even more interesting." I haven't seen each other for almost ten years, and I don't know if I've become a yellow-faced woman? Boy, my junior brother is a gentleman, Lu Fengyuan is a delicate girl, you can hide it from them, but you can't fool me. I don't believe that anyone would show up for no reason and be willing to risk the anger of the people of the Eternal Temple. If I hadn't come from the north, I would have suspected that you were an envoy of the Sun and Moon Temple. Tell me, where did you come from, and why did you come here?"

Lu Ye shook his head and said: "I said, it's just a passerby, it's a pure accident here, and I'll leave after I find two lost friends." Actually, I'm from a similar place to here, maybe a little more complicated. ”

"I'm not a temple envoy, on the contrary, my mother, my father, and I, our family are all wanted. Those who want to kill us will be many times more powerful than the eternal temple. As a result, my mother disappeared, my father was killed, and I was the only one left, so I could only hide incognito, and I don't know why I fell into the witch realm. ”

He picked up his glass and said, "But I still have to go back, I must go back......"

Ying Zhensi's eyes flickered and looked at Lu Ye, and said slowly: "Go back and die?"

"How come?" Lu Ye smiled and said, "Of course, I want to avenge my father, and I want to find my mother." As for my current cultivation, I'm not afraid of your jokes, it's a world away from those two friends of mine. But I think as long as I practice slowly and experience slowly, I will eventually be able to catch up with them. ”

"I especially disagree with what you just said—'The past is the least valuable thing, and memory is the most useless emotion.'" If there is no past, where would we be today, and if we lost our memory, where would we go? Therefore, I often recall the past, think about those things that were once beautiful, and even if I live a hard and difficult life, I can always find a trace of happiness. ”

Ying Zhenji said coldly: "I don't need your kid to teach me a lesson." ”

Lu Ye stood up and said, "I'm almost drunk, let's go." I don't have any money on me, so I'll help settle my drinking bills?"

Ying Zhenji took out a few black pearl-like things and put them on the table, and asked, "Are you going to break into Rock Gate City like this?"

Lu Ye said: "There are few people here who recognize me, right?"

Ying Zhenji said: "It just so happens that those people are all in Yanmen City! ”

"No need. In case my friends are in Rock Gate City, it would be better for them to recognize them at a glance. ”

Ying Zhenji nodded and said, "I have to admit that you are more arrogant and confident than me. ”

Lu Ye walked out of the door and said with a smile: "I know there is a saying: 'Art masters are bold'." ”

Ying Zhenji said: "I also know that there is a saying: Hold up the bold and starve to death the cowardly." ”

He approached the floating cloud boat, whispered a witch spell, and pinched the magic seal with both hands forward, slowly escaping from his fingertips and seeping into the hull of the boat.

Lu Ye waited by the side, and saw the cloud boat slowly glowing with cyan brilliance, suddenly becoming smaller and condensing into a thumb-sized nuclear boat, and falling into the palm of Yingzhen Temple.

Ying Zhensi turned his head and handed the nuclear boat to Lu Ye and said, "Later, I will teach you the spells and tips for refining and manipulating the cloud boat." ”

Lu Ye didn't answer, "I still know a saying, it's 'the husband is out of his word, and the horse is hard to chase'." ”

Yingzhenji is also a person who is free and easy by nature, so he no longer politely excused himself, put away the nuclear boat and said: "You have a lot of words, I really want to go to your world to see if I have the opportunity." ”

"I would be happy if you could come. ”

Yingzhenji spread his wings and said, "If I live long enough, I will definitely go." ”

With a flutter of white wings, his figure rose into the air, looked at Lu Ye and said: "What you just said, if you want to persuade and comfort me, thank you! Although I don't know whether the story of you and your father and mother is true or false, I know a truth very well - how happy the memory is, how painful it is to live." ”

After speaking, he no longer looked back, and the lonely figure flew into the blue sky, like a lonely goose lost to the south.

Lu Ye watched the figure of Yingzhen Temple gradually turn into a small black dot and disappear in the sky, the wind blew, and the wine surged up, and his heart flashed the song that Li Shaoquan had just sang: "The young man is strong and uninhibited, and the tiger is winged and flies in the day." If you want to boast of independence for the world, you will laugh at the North as a sick child. Four days without walls can be home, drunk and angry. If you want to steal Beidou and drink all the wine, you can pull out the teeth of the Taihua Whale ......"

He sang drunk, and the wind swept across the endless fields, and the shepherds in the distance cast astonished eyes.

Lu Ye suddenly felt that wine is indeed a good thing sometimes, whether it is relaxation or indulgence, it can always make people find their own unrestrained and free, and forget the loneliness and helplessness that is half drunk and half awake.

At this moment, it should be the early summer of Wuyu, the distant mountains are lush and the streams are clear, and the meadows like green velvet carpets are full of herds of cattle, sheep and horses as far as the eye can see, which makes people feel open-minded and comfortable.

A shepherd boy sitting on the back of a maroon foal waved and cheered at Lu Ye from afar, urging his mount to chase him.

The shepherd boy felt how lucky and happy he was today. I have just seen the legendary Yaohua Fairy with my own eyes, and I have met a flying immortal again.

After nightfall, Lu Ye saw a big city in front of him.

Chengguan stands on a canyon between the lofty mountains and mountains, the mountains on both sides are towering into the clouds and steep like a mirror, and a wall of more than three zhang high is built along the valley mouth of more than 100 zhang long.

The walls are made of huge rocks, the whole body is black and smooth, and the lights of the city are flickering, and the voices of the guards of the city are faintly heard.

Outside the city is a gentle slope. It is said to be a gentle slope, but in fact, it is only compared to the steep cliffs on both sides. If ordinary people stand at the bottom of the slope, they can barely see the cornices on the city tower and a few red flags of the fire-weary country swaggering in the night wind.

Such a Xiongguan fortress is rare even in the world of floods, and Lu Ye couldn't help but think of the words "one husband should be closed".

He scrept and disappeared, flying over the city without noticing, and into the Rock Gate City.

There was already a curfew in the city, and apart from the patrols that looked nervous as if they were facing a great enemy, there was not a single passer-by in the streets.

Due to the limitation of the terrain, the rock gate city is narrow from north to south, covering almost the entire canyon. On the eastern side of the cliffs, a number of mountain streams flow down into the city's river, which winds and turns and flows southward.

The two sides of the river are probably the most prosperous and lively places in the city, even after the curfew at night, you can still see a forest of shops, restaurants, inns, shops and rice shops lined up along the river, vaguely imagine the noisy and busy during the day.

Lu Ye drifted down to the streets by the river, walking slowly in the dark night when no one was there.

The street was silent, the night breeze blew away the smell of wine on his body, and Lu Ye's mind slowly became sober and ethereal.

He looked up and saw a crescent moon over the canyon, which seemed to be no different from the moon in his hometown. The moon was like jade, dragging a long shadow on the ground, walking through the streets and alleys.

At the corner of a river, Lu Ye saw the plaque of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei.

The Hou Mansion was heavily armed around the palace, and all the passages in and out were set up with sentry posts, and the lanterns and torches illuminated the surroundings as bright as day.

Lu Ye used the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon supernatural power, and Shi Shiran crossed the checkpoint and infiltrated the mansion.

The security in the Hou Mansion is becoming more and more stringent, with five steps, one post, ten steps, and one sentry, and there are hidden crossbowmen in the dark.

Lu Ye stretched his spiritual sense and scanned the Hou Mansion, but did not detect the qi of Yun Huaiyang or Li Shaoquan and his wife, but sensed that there was an ambush in the back house, judging from the qi that was vaguely emanating, it was very likely that it was someone from the Yongzhen Palace.

Lu Ye didn't want to cause trouble, so he investigated extremely carefully, and slowly came to the main temple of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei.

This small temple is in the corner of the back garden, the temple door is closed and unguarded, and there is no light through the window to see in the dark.

Li Shaoquan once specifically said that all countries in the Wuyu region have the custom of worshiping the blessed lord of their own realm, and often regard the lord as their own protector. Just like the land city god in the desolate world, the mountain god Hebo.

The owner or the ancestral spirits, or the flowers and trees, or the insects, fish, birds and beasts, or even a pot, a jar, good men and women, such as weddings and funerals, diseases and disasters, and long trips, must go to the main temple to make sacrifices, in order to pray for the blessing of the blessed lord of this realm.

However, this time, the main temple in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion did not seem to bless Lu Dongrun.
