The calm surface of the lake resembles a green emerald, shimmering in a rose-colored glow in the setting sun.

Lu Ye found himself and Shang Jiahe returning to Haizi in the depths of Ailao Mountain. The ashes of the previous bonfire are still there, as if it were just a dream, but now the dream has just woken up, and everything has returned to reality.

Only Chen Douyu was missing beside him.

As soon as he thought of this, Lu Ye inexplicably felt a little empty in his heart, as if something was missing.

He suddenly realized that since the chance encounter in Ningzhou Mansion, Chen Douyu has been by his side all the way, and the wind, frost, snow and rain have lived and died together, and it has almost become a habit unconsciously.

Now this "habit" has suddenly been broken, and he must start to get used to the days without Chen Douyu.

Fortunately, Shang Jiahe is still there.

"Betta wants to stay in the Wuyu for a while, just right, I can go to the Hanging Sky Temple to take a turn and find Yan Mozen to settle accounts. ”

Shang Jiahe rubbed Xiao Fanfist to calculate her itinerary, and asked Lu Ye with great interest, "Where are you going?"

Lu Ye was stunned and thought for a moment. After the trip to the Wuyu, his cultivation has been successfully promoted to the Kaifu rank, and according to his mother's arrangement, he should be able to go to the South China Sea to find the box she left for him.

I don't know what it contains, so mysterious that my mother must open it after reaching the opening steps.

However, Shang Jiahe said that she was going to Hanging Heaven Temple to find Yan Mochan to fight, and Lu Ye couldn't help but hesitate.

Putting aside the relationship between Chen Douyu, he also benefited a lot from retreat and cultivation in the 10,000-year-old ancient Xuantan, and he also became the "little ancestor" of others in a daze.

Shang Jiahe's temper Lu Ye is clear, and she doesn't care about anything, but once she gets serious, even Uncle Yu is helpless.

Now her cultivation realm is almost on par with Yan Mochan, if the two really fight, it is still unknown who will kill the deer, and if it is not good, it will be both defeats and jade will be burned.

No matter who hurts, it's not easy to explain to Chen Douyu.

Lu Ye saw Shang Jiahe's jubilant appearance, obviously on the rise, and couldn't persuade him, so he said, "I'll accompany you up the mountain." ”

"Are you going to help me testify? Righteous enough!" Shang Jiahe agreed, stared at Lu Ye in a blink of an eye, and said meaningfully: "Who dares to make trouble, I don't mind cleaning him up together!"

"How dare I? I'll just follow you, waving flags and shouting, drums and cheers, okay?"

Shang Jiahe looked Lu Ye up and down and said, "How do I feel that you are becoming more and more dishonest and full of bad water?"

Lu Ye laughed and shouted wronged.

At this time, there was a sudden gust of wind in the mountains and forests, and Shang Jiahe wrinkled his nose and said in displeasure: "There is a stinky guy here." ”

As the words fell, I saw a short, fat and big melon-like young man in blue flying towards the lake. His facial features are quite decent when viewed separately, but I don't know why they give people a feeling of being ghostly when they are together. A pair of fairy swords were diagonally inserted behind his back, and a jade plaque of the Witch Dao Bright Temple was hanging from his waist.

Lu Ye glanced at the jade plaque hanging from the waist of the blue-clothed young man, and couldn't help but feel a sense of time and space confusion.

The number one immortal power on the Yunzhou Witch Road is none other than the Temple of Light, but the other temple is not this temple, one is the inheritance of the Wu Domain for ten thousand years, and the other is the sect created by Wu Qingtan after he ascended to the desolate world.

Looking at the color and runes of the blue-clothed young man's jade plate, he is already a great witch at a young age.

The Great Witch of the Bright Temple in the desolate world must at least return to the Yuan level, and his cultivation is not weaker than that of Zhaofang Scale.

The fat winter melon flew extremely fast, and the sound of "sigh" passed in front of the two of them, heading straight for Haizi in front. It was feasible to come out for a while, and the fat winter melon flew back upside down, stopping in front of Lu Ye and Shang Jiahe and greeting: "The two of you are invited!"

Lu Ye saw Shang Jiahe's eyelids drooping and looked like he was ignoring her, knowing that she didn't want to deal with strangers, so he had to step forward and respond: "I've seen the immortal chief." ”

The young man in blue looked Lu Ye and Shang Jiahe up and down, and his eyes fell on that extremely beautiful face.

"May I ask you two along the way, have you seen a little black snake covered with white patterns?"

"Nope. Shang Jiahe replied very dryly.

The young man in blue was skeptical, and there was a look of anxiety and disappointment between his eyebrows, and he muttered to himself: "How can this be good, what should I do if I get into trouble now......

Lu Ye and Shang Jiahe glanced at each other, and both of them were silent as if they had a tacit understanding.

The young man in blue touched the bulging rosacea nose and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry to disturb the two of you!"

He flew a few feet away, turned around and said, "In case you run into the little black snake I just said, with white patterns, don't get close, the farther away the better!"

Lu Ye looked at the blue-clothed young man walking far away on the lake, and praised softly: "It's amazing, it has actually been refined into a 'heart demon', and it has also manifested itself and forced out of the body, so as to use it to clean up the source and impact the immortal realm, it can be regarded as a sword taking a unique path." ”

Shang Jiahe said disapprerovingly: "So what, Wumen's left-hand tricks are nothing unusual. ”

"Although it is said that the demons in the heart are like weeds, the spring breeze blows and grows. But it is not easy to think that it can still do this step. I saw that he looked anxious, obviously worried that the demons he had unleashed would harm the world. This young man is not bad. ”

"Hey, what you're talking about, doesn't it seem like you're very senior?!"

Lu Ye laughed, and was about to speak when Shang Jiahe waved his hand and interrupted: "I know, you want me to help that guy find the little flower snake and stop it from harming people, right?"

Lu Ye nodded, he had just secretly used the Heavenly Eye to dig three feet into the ground and searched around the Ailao Mountain, but unfortunately he didn't find any clues. The heart demon refined by the blue-clothed young man's Taoism is an extraordinary creature, this little thing has its own demonic nature, and is good at transfiguring nothingness and concealing its whereabouts, so it is very likely to avoid his Tianyan scan.

"Then wait. Shang Jiahe looked at the sky, stretched his delicate body and stretched his waist comfortably, "Let's rest here tonight, nourish our spirits, and set off tomorrow to Sanqing Mountain to fight with Yan Mochan." ”

Lu Ye subconsciously avoided his gaze and didn't look at the curvaceous land, looked at the rippling waves on the lake in the distance and sighed: "A true immortal duel, why do you say it is as simple as drinking water and eating?"

"Drink water and eat, is there any fun to fight?"

Lu Ye was speechless, and said for a while: "If my mother is here, you may be able to talk." ”

At that moment, the two of them re-encamped next to Haizi, Lu Ye picked up some dry branches and firewood, lit a bonfire, grabbed a few pheasants, peeled them and roasted them until the meat was fragrant, and gave the fattest and tender pheasant legs and wings to Shang Jiahe.

The light in the mountains and forests gradually dimmed, the sky turned a deep purple, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the surface of the lake with a red glow.

A caravan of 100 mules and horses also came to the lake and camped up, noisily drinking horses and feeding the mules to make a fire and cook.

The leader is an old Jianghu in his fifties, with a short figure and a fierce expression, and he is full of temperament when he gives orders. After unloading the goods, he walked to Lu Ye and Shang Jiahe with a girl, and greeted him with a smile: "This son, this girl, the little old man Yang Tianfu, has been doing business in the rivers and lakes on this Shanyin Ancient Road for more than 20 years, and it is the first time to see two golden boys and girls like these fairies. It's also fate for us to meet in Pingshui, the little girl came to make some tea, do you want to come over and drink a bowl together?"

Lu Ye smiled secretly in his heart, this old man is here to find out. On the surface, he is polite, but in fact, there are words hidden in the words. As soon as they came up, they first told the two of them that they had "been doing business on this ancient road in Shanyin for more than 20 years", and then they "saw it for the first time", hehehe.

Obviously, he was the head snake, so he didn't want to provoke him to give a warning, and he also tactfully expressed his doubts about the origins of Lu and Shang, and finally changed his words, showing that he didn't want to have a good relationship with many things.

Really old rivers and lakes, old fritters.

Coincidentally, I just didn't want to have anything to do with this group of mule and horse merchants, so I spent the night without incident, and the sky was bright and I went our separate ways, and everything was fine.

As for Yang Tianfu's face, Lu Ye didn't like it when he saw it.

His eyes moved back slightly, and he saw a gray figure standing behind the father and daughter of the Yang family behind the tree in the distance, and he had been secretly looking at the back of the daughter of the Yang family, the meaning of which made Lu Ye feel a little interesting.

"Thank you for your kindness, we've already had dinner, so I won't bother you. ”

Shang Jiahe on the side lowered his eyes and pretended to be deaf, and Lu Ye politely refused the other party's invitation.

Yang Tianfu said a few polite words with a spring breeze on his face, and then led his daughter to turn around and leave.

The two walked more than ten zhang away, and Yang Baolai complained in a low voice: "Dad, you are always suspicious, and now you have a hot face on your cold buttocks!"

Yang Tianfu said hesitantly: "Be careful to sail a 10,000-year-old ship, don't you understand the old saying? Who can make me rich, let me kneel down and call my grandfather Ducheng. ”

Yang Baolai said angrily: "Is this interesting? Let's talk about it, we have a lot of money, why bother?"

"Why bother? If it weren't for Lao Tzu's exhaustion and hard work, would you be able to live a good life for the eldest lady?" Yang Tianfu said angrily: "If I kick my legs one day, just like you don't know what to do, you can support this family, maybe which white-eyed wolf will be cheaper?!"

"Dad, be quiet!" Yang Baolai's face was red, and his eyes quietly glanced at the gray figure behind the tree.

The father and daughter complained and walked away, Lu Ye overheard a drop of water, closed his eyes and couldn't help but laugh at the corners of his lips.

Tonight's overnight stay by the lake might be a bit of fun.
