The boat sails through the underground river.
Xiao Bu said: "The water here is smelly, and the fish can't be eaten."
"Xi Liu!" Xiaodai lazily lay beside it.
From Xiao Bu's eyes, two rays of light shot out, sweeping the road ahead: "There are many hidden reefs ahead, so drive slowly."
"Hoo~"
The two answered one by one, and were quite happy.
Lu Mingshu couldn't help smiling when he came out of the cabin. Xiao Bu is really similar to a living person, I don't know how Senior Di Yu made it. Speaking of which, Xiao Bu should be promoted to a level, and another day he will go to Tianlun to offer a reward to see if anyone understands.
Xie Xingshen also came out and said, "The terrain here has changed a lot."
You can tell what's going on with this underground river at a glance. There are falling stones everywhere, and there are cracked gaps, exuding Yin Qi. So, Xiao Bu said, the water here is stinky, infected by Yin Qi, can it not stink? The fish here will probably gradually become a monster that grows in the yin, right
Lu Mingshu sighed silently.
"There is no way to stop the leaked yin energy." She said, "In a few years, this place will become a dead river."
"Even if it's going to be blocked, there's no manpower." Xie Xingchen was very calm, "Anyway, we're fully prepared, and we have to dig it up again."
"Um… "
After being silent for a while, she said: "Actually, under normal circumstances, the existence of such a world will not affect anything. It's just that this world is too barren, no one can suppress the Demon Emperor, and it is connected to another world... "
Xie Xingchen looked at her.
"What are you doing?" Lu Mingshu was uncomfortable being watched by him, "Say what you want."
He smiled: "You know so many things."
She said lightly: "It's just some simple truths. Reincarnation of life and death is the ultimate principle of heaven and earth."
Xie Xingshen said: "Sometimes I have a feeling that you and we live in a different world. The things you say casually sound like common sense, but living in such an incomplete world, how can you live in the same world?" Do you know the way to come?"
"..."
He didn't continue talking, and Lu Mingshu didn't answer either.
After being silent for a while, Xie Xingshen said, "Are you sure you can't find your ancestor?"
Lu Mingshu's voice was a bit deep: "Well, the last time I sent a letter back, the master said that the master's sword was found under the tomb."
After a while, he said, "Sorry."
"It's none of your business, so why apologize?" After a pause, she continued, "Actually, Master has already prepared mentally. The possibility of a person who has been missing for forty years coming back alive is too small."
After all, when her master disappeared, Xie Changhe was still in the Qizhen Temple, that is to say, what killed her master was the magic consciousness left in the imperial tomb, and it had nothing to do with Xie Changhe.
Seeing her rubbing her forehead, he said: "You'd better go back and rest, the most important thing is to heal your wounds."
Lu Mingshu did not refuse. In her current mental state, she really couldn't use her brain much.
The journey of half a month is fast and fast.
During this period of time, Lu Mingshu hardly did anything, either in the cabin or at the bow, his mind was empty, he didn't think about anything, and most of the time he was sleeping.
Every day, Xie Xingchen would cook a big bowl of medicine for her, and she would get a headache when she smelled the medicine.
However, the medicine he decocted became more and more effective.
Lu Mingshu simply exchanged a few more medical books for him to play with.
This day I fell asleep in a daze, and was woken up by someone: "It's here."
"Huh?" She opened her eyes and rubbed them sleepily.
Sleeping in the dark, her face was obviously flushed, she had never seen such a dazed side of her, Xie Xingshen felt his heart was brushed lightly by a feather, and couldn't help leaning forward.
When a breath that didn't belong to her approached, Lu Mingshu became alert all of a sudden, and reached out to put his hand on his shoulder: "What are you doing?"
Xie Xing was disappointed in his heart, pretended nothing happened, and said innocently: "Looking at you sleeping like this, I'm thinking whether to carry you."
"No need!"
"You don't have to be so polite!" He still didn't give up, "I've recited it before, right? You even called me daddy!"
Lu Mingshu glanced at him suspiciously: "What nonsense?"
"Really! It was the time we met in Yaoxi, you fell asleep..."
"It must be a dream!"
"Seeing that you are not in good spirits, don't be brave."
"Humph!"
While talking, things were packed.
The two went ashore and stowed the boat.
"Little fool!"
"Xi Liu!" Xiaodai ran over cheerfully, rubbing affectionately under her palm.
Turning over to Xiaodai's back, by the way, Xiao Buti slipped over and lay down on the front. Lu Mingshu gave him a demonstrative look, and patted Xiaodai's head: "Let's go."
Xiaodai raised his head and called out, "Da da da da" happily ran away.
"..." Xie Xing sighed deeply, "It's really hard for me!"
Fifteen years later, Yaoxi is still the same as before.
They returned to the cave where they had lived. With a little decoration here, you can live in it.
"Back then, how did you know there was a cave here?" Lu Mingshu wanted to ask this question a long time ago.
"Oh, it's a coincidence. I found a tattered handbook before. I didn't expect it to be a senior's practice diary, which described his training process in detail. I drew a map with that diary, and then looked for it. I searched and found that it was in Yaoxi."
"No wonder, you are so familiar with the nearby terrain."
Xie Xing said in a deep voice: "Because of this map, when the Zhou family approached me, I readily agreed, and I just happened to find a place for myself to practice."
Lu Mingshu looked at the swordsmanship on the wall, and said softly: "This senior should be Master Xiang of our Jiuyao Palace."
"It turned out to be him." He was not surprised, "No wonder, this sword technique is very clever."
After cleaning the stone chamber and laying out the animal skins, he said, "You can rest."
"And you?"
"I'll take a look around and explore the way."
Lu Mingshu knew that he had good intentions, and she really couldn't hold on anymore.
"Xiao Dai is here to accompany you, Xiao Bu come with me, it is more useful to find the way."
"Um."
After making some arrangements, Xiao Dai was left to watch the door, and he left with Xiao Bu.
Lu Mingshu didn't struggle and continued to rest.
This sleep was very heavy, and when I woke up, it was dark around me.
Xiaodai was lying in front of the stone platform, snoring, sound asleep.
Strange, hasn't he come back yet
When Lu Mingshu stood up, Xiao Dai immediately woke up.
She patted Xiaodai's head, signaling it to continue sleeping, and walked out of the cave in the dark.
There was firelight by the creek, and murmurs of conversation.
"Too much water!" This is Xiao Bu's voice.
"Simmer for a while longer, the meat must be cooked. She has no appetite recently, and she is too tired to eat."
"Is that so?"
"Are you still worried about my cooking skills?"
Xiao Bu thought for a while: "It seems to be right."
