Hong Chuan was also dumbfounded, after a while he said, "It seems that this is the only explanation that makes sense. Brother Lu, you have lived in this village for so long, have you heard of the legend of the strange fish in the Dragon Lake? "
Lu Chen only shook his head and said, "There really isn't. The Dragon Lake and Dragon Pond, other than the grand name, there really hasn't been any activity for so many years, like stagnant water, no one has ever seen … the strange fish."
For some reason, he suddenly paused at the last two words.
Hong Chuan, however, did not notice it. He only sighed, and then with some rejoicing, he said, "No matter what, I really have to thank Brother Lu this time. Otherwise, I would have died here for no reason. It's really unjust."
Lu Chen laughed and said, "It's just a small effort, Brother Hong don't need to take it to heart. Right, what are your plans after this, are you going to continue to explore the Dragon Lake? "
Hong Chuan pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "The big fish in the Dragon Lake is quite strange, with my current skills, I'm afraid I still can't subdue it, I won't go and provoke it for now. If there is a chance in the future, after I return to the mountain, I will invite a few powerful senior brothers to come over, we will naturally be able to investigate. "
Lu Chen nodded and said, "That's fine."
Hong Chuan got off the bed, tried to walk a few steps in the house, and then moved his body. Lu Chen looked at his movements and asked, "How are your injuries?"
Hong Chuan said, "Shouldn't be too serious, just some impact that caused your blood and Qi to be unstable, it seems that I will be fine after a day of rest."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "That's the best, how about this, since you have slept here for a night, why don't you stay here for the night. Tomorrow morning, I will go up the mountain with you to that crater, finish your work, so that you won't have to struggle again if you can't find the path. "
Hong Chuan was overjoyed, even his face was a little red, he said with surprise, "Brother Lu, is this true? I, I … "
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Just leading the way, it's nothing. We're all outside, so we're just helping each other out. "
Hongchuan bowed to the ground with a sincere look on his face. He looked at Lu Chen and said, "Brother Lu is really a kind person. I can't thank you enough."
…
The disciples of the Kunlun Party were known for being well-educated and well-mannered. Receiving Lu Chen's kindness, Hong Chuan's heart was immediately filled with gratitude. Not only did he desperately express his gratitude, he also insisted on giving something to Lu Chen to express his gratitude.
Lu Chen just smiled and declined, saying that it was a small matter, but Hong Chuan was serious. Then, from him, Lu Chen found out that no one was willing to talk to this disciple before Lu Chen, especially after they arrived at Qingshuitang Village. Everyone seemed to be disgusted and guarded against him, avoiding him like the plague. Almost no one was willing to talk to him.
After hearing this, Lu Chen was also stunned. Then, he thought about it and said, "Hmm … Brother Hong, maybe they thought that you're someone who's here to snatch the opportunity. You know, many people here have worked their whole lives just for that one opportunity. Even if they don't know each other, there's always a possibility that they'll be robbed of their opportunity … "
Hong Chuan was dumbfounded. "Just because of this?"
Lu Chen also smiled bitterly and said, "Other than this, I can't think of any other reason. But usually, they don't act like this. Oh, right!" His eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at Hong Chuan. "It should be because you were wearing a long sword that day and looked like a rogue cultivator. You're much stronger than us mortals. If the Thousand Autumns Sect came to take a look, they would naturally choose someone with some foundation like you. That's why those people were unwilling to talk to you."
Only then did Hong Chuan come to his senses. He was speechless for a moment. But in comparison, his gratitude towards Lu Chen deepened. In the end, there was another round of gratitude and gratitude. Lu Chen almost couldn't take it anymore.
In the end, Hong Chuan once again brought up giving gifts to express his gratitude.
Lu Chen declined again, but this time, he didn't push it too hard. Who knew that at this moment, something extremely awkward would suddenly happen. Just a second ago, Hong Chuan had been so sure that Lu Chen wouldn't stand on ceremony and accept the gifts. But suddenly, he realized that other than the long sword that was tied on his back, his belongings and other belongings were all gone …
At that moment, in the thatched hut, the two of them stared at each other. For a long time, neither spoke, or perhaps they didn't know what to say.
After a long while, Lu Chen laughed dryly and said, "Perhaps I left them in the water last night. I wonder if Brother Hong has anything valuable that's missing?"
At this moment, Hong Chuan's face was red and somewhat purple. He seemed so ashamed that he almost wanted to pull out his sword and kill himself.
Seeing this, Lu Chen was a little worried. But fortunately, Hong Chuan didn't seem to be so stubborn. After a while, he said with a sad face, "I don't have anything important, but this … but … I … ah, I'm really sorry, Brother Lu!"
Looking at his depressed expression, Lu Chen found it funny, but for some reason, he suddenly felt a burst of warmth in his heart. Then he shook his head slightly and said in a gentle voice, "Brother Hong, do you think I'm that kind of greedy person?"
Hong Chuan was shocked and quickly raised his head, "No, no, no, I definitely didn't mean that!"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "If that's the case, why are you so depressed? We met by chance, it's fate. Why worry about this trivial property? Come, come, come, I'll take you to the village to drink a few cups of good wine. Meeting and getting drunk is a happy thing in life. "
Saying this, he stood up with a smile and led Hong Chuan out of the thatched hut, walking towards the tavern where Old Ma stayed in the village.
Hong Chuan looked at Lu Chen from behind. For a moment, he didn't know what to say, but his eyes were shining. Although at this moment, Lu Chen looked like an ordinary person, and he was a disciple of a famous cultivation sect, the difference in status between the two was actually quite big. But at this moment, in his eyes, Lu Chen's figure seemed to be getting bigger and bigger.
When passing by the stream of Qingshui, he suddenly thought in his heart, "Could this be the extraordinary person that father talked about in this world? It's such a pity that such a person is buried in this countryside. "
And naturally, Lu Chen didn't think that at this moment, he was following behind him in a somewhat embarrassed state. Thoughts were tumbling in Hong Chuan's mind. In fact, whether it was Hong Chuan or Lu Chen himself, they had probably inadvertently forgotten a fact, and that was that an ordinary person would almost never treat a cultivator with cultivation so calmly. Because between the two, not only was there a huge difference in strength, but there was also a huge difference in status.
But to Lu Chen, everything seemed to be very natural. Not only did Hong Chuan not notice, even he himself didn't notice anything strange.
