The surroundings were cold and quiet. Anyone would be scared to death if they were suddenly patted on the back like this. Yi Xin's heart was in her throat. She turned around and saw a person standing behind her. It was Lu Chen, whom she had been looking for for a long time.
"Ah, it's you, Brother Lu?" Yi Xin called out subconsciously.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Isn't it me? What about you? What are you doing here?" He looked around, and his eyes stopped for a moment on the abandoned house where the dead person used to live. He said to Yi Xin, "No one usually comes here. I heard that after the person died, the house is often haunted in the middle of the night."
"Ah!" Yi Xin's body trembled again, and even her face turned pale. But she soon found that Lu Chen was smiling. She immediately reacted and became angry. She hit his arm hard and said angrily, "You scared me again!"
Lu Chen laughed. For some reason, looking at Yi Xin made him feel better. He smiled and said, "I heard it, but I haven't seen it. Oh, you haven't told me why you are here. "
"To look for you." Yi Xin glared at him. She gnashed her teeth in hatred and said, "Do you know how many places I've been looking for you today? Let's not talk about the Flying Goose Terrace. I've gone to the Fragrance Garden and Rock Mountain one by one, but I didn't see your shadow."
Lu Chen was startled. He stopped smiling and said with some surprise, "So urgent? Why are you looking for me? "
"Yes, I have something." Yi Xin said, "I heard that you and Sister Su had a falling out. Not only did you leave with your bag, but you also asked Sister Su to cancel the nominal master-disciple relationship?"
Lu Chen nodded and said, "That's true."
Yi Xin stamped her feet and said, "I say, why are you so stupid? Do you know what kind of person Sister Su is now? In the whole Kunlun Mountain, there are at least ninety-nine thousand and nine hundred odd-job disciples who are crying and begging to be her disciple! But you ran away by yourself? "
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Did Su Qingjun ask you to come see me?"
"Bah, in your dreams!" Yi Xin looked at his disappointed face and said angrily, "Of course it's impossible. Sister Su is now the youngest Jin Dan Friar in the Kunlun Party. She has a bright future and is even likely to become Yuanying Zhenren. Do you think she will really value an ordinary disciple like you? "
Lu Chen said, "Oh."
Yi Xin patted her forehead. It seemed that she was completely speechless because of Lu Chen's fearless look. After a while, she said, "Brother Lu, listen to my advice. Go back and apologize to Sister Su. A man should know when to yield and when to stand tall. What's there to be afraid of? Moreover, I can see that Big Sister Su has good intentions towards you. As long as you give in a little and I help you put in a few good words, you will definitely be able to make her retract her order. "
As she said that, she rolled her eyes again and suddenly laughed. She pulled Lu Chen and whispered, "Brother Lu, why don't you pretend again and say that you have encountered some tragic and sad thing, and shed some tears. I guarantee that Sister Su will definitely not be able to bear it and will definitely take you back."
"Nonsense!" Lu Chen said seriously, "A man should bleed but not shed tears. You actually want me to cry?"
"Oh, I said it's just an act." Yi Xin glared at Lu Chen, then encouraged him with a grin, "Go, go. You can't go wrong listening to me. I'm doing this for your own good. Otherwise, when you get older in the future, without a backer or something, it will be difficult to survive in this mountain. I tell you. "
Lu Chen looked at Yi Xin's face and his eyes gradually became warm. He smiled and said, "You actually think so far."
Yi Xin grumpily said, "Everyone would think like that, okay! I say you are a little strange recently. I always feel that you are becoming more and more stupid. Maybe it's because you are getting older. "
Lu Chen laughed and looked at her, shaking his head and said, "If that's the case, then when I am old in the future, I will look for you to be my backer and let you raise me. Is that okay?"
Yi Xin was stunned and said in surprise, "Me?"
Lu Chen nodded and said, "Yes, aren't you also a disciple of Yuanying Zhenren? In the future, you will definitely not be bad, is that okay?"
"This …" Yi Xin seemed to have never thought about this problem. She thought for a while and said with some distress, "Uh, if you put it like that, it seems that it is okay. But Sister Su's talent and future is much better than mine. To be honest, you should still follow her to have a future. If you really can't do it, then you can look for me. "
When she said the last sentence, Yi Xin's cheeks suddenly seemed to brighten a little. She looked a little proud. She raised her head and put her hands on her hips and said, "Hey! You ah, come, call me Master for me to hear. "
Lu Chen laughed and put his hand on her head and pushed her away. He scolded with a smile, "Little girl, you have learned bad things."
Yi Xin took a step back and pouted her head. But very quickly she became happy again and said to Lu Chen, "Hey, I won't joke anymore, Brother Lu. Listen to me and go talk to Sister Su. This will really benefit your status as an odd-job disciple. "
Lu Chen thought for a while and looked at Yi Xin's eyes that were full of expectation. He smiled and nodded, "Alright, I will listen to you. But these two days are the Sect Council Meeting. The mountain is busy. She is Jin Dan Friar, so she will probably be busy too. After these few days, we will go look for her together. "
Yi Xin thought for a while and said, "Well, this is also good. Sister Su has been really busy recently. Today she even sent her brother to Melaleuca Japonica Martial Aunt's tea room to ask my Master to help treat him. Then in a few days, I will look for you. "
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Alright, it's a deal."
Yi Xin waved to him and turned to leave. After two steps, she suddenly turned back and asked, "Oh right, Brother Lu, I haven't seen Atsu recently. How is it?"
Lu Chen said, "It's very good. It eats well and runs fast. It's so wild outside all day that it doesn't want to go home."
"Oh." Yi Xin smiled and continued to walk forward. This time, after walking for about a few feet, she stopped again and shouted to Lu Chen, "Brother Lu, where do you live now? I can't find you."
Lu Chen was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's okay. I will look for you when the time comes."
Yi Xin smiled and nodded, then turned and left.
…
Seeing that Yi Xin was getting further and further away, even her figure gradually disappeared from his sight, the smile on Lu Chen's face slowly faded. He looked up at the sky. The continuous drizzle was still falling, drenching the houses in the forest.
He turned around and quietly looked at the abandoned wooden house. Then he walked forward, turned a corner in the middle, and walked into the very wide forest in the distance.
Like in the past, the forest was very quiet, but this time there was a little more sound of rain beating on the leaves than usual. Walking into the forest, the rain suddenly became less heavy, but the air in the forest was very humid. It seemed that everywhere was wet, and the rain kept dripping from the branches and leaves in the high places.
Lu Chen was like a ghost, moving silently in the forest. Even if he occasionally passed by the wet ground, he didn't know what method he used, but he didn't leave any footprints.
He didn't know how long he walked, but he finally saw the big rock in the depths of the forest, as well as the big tree that was different from the surrounding trees.
The forest was abnormally quiet, and the wet rain fell. Not only did the birds and beasts stay away, it seemed that even the insects were silent.
Lu Chen's eyes slowly brightened. His gaze swept across the surrounding ground, looking at every tree, and even every piece of gravel and weed, not sparing a single strand of grass.
After a while, he walked over to the big tree and stood next to the big rock. Rain dripped from the top of his head, falling on the top of his head and flowing down his cheeks, but he didn't seem to care at all.
His gaze became brighter and sharper, even faintly fierce.
He looked everywhere, and finally lowered his head, looking at his feet.
The ground was black, wet, and dirty soil, and a thick layer of withered leaves had fallen on it. Who knew how many years had passed, day after day, year after year, piling up here. Many of the withered leaves seemed to have rotted, their scorched and withered color similar to the color of the soil. Perhaps after a while, these rotten leaves would also become a part of the soil.
Lu Chen stared at the black soil and withered leaves at his feet, thinking silently for a long time. Then he suddenly raised his head and took a deep breath.
… …
In the ancient land of the Divine Central Plains, there had been a saying passed down from ancient times: to be buried in peace. This meant that no matter how a person lived, they would eventually die. Only after death could they be buried in the ground, in the boundless ancient soil, would the dead feel at ease, and would find the best place to return to in this life.
No one had ever thought about what it was like to be buried in the soil, because only the dead would lie deep underground, covered by the soil.
Lu Chen wasn't a dead person, but on this day, he was lying in the black soil of this place. In a very strange way, he was like a cold snake hiding in the shadows.
The damp, black, dirty soil was mixed with rotten leaves, and there were even all sorts of unimaginable insects, as well as a nauseating stench. This was not a place an ordinary person could stay in.
However, Lu Chen was like a dead man as he stopped under the dark soil. The black soil and thick, withered leaves completely covered his body. After the rain fell from the sky for a night, there was no longer any trace of his existence in the forest.
There was only an extremely thin, hollow twig stuck into the soil amidst the withered leaves. It stood unremarkable, and after a long time, it would tremble slightly.
The rain continued for an entire night.
