On the way up the mountain, Lu Chen saw some traces beside the thatched hut and the edge of the forest. He was reminded of the tragic battle that happened on the last night he was here. Now that time had passed, those traces had become smaller and fainter.
Lu Chen immediately recalled the time when he walked into Qingshuitang Village. He clearly remembered that the pursuit had affected the village, and that people had set many places on fire. However, the traces of the battle had basically disappeared this time.
Everything had been covered up by new people, new houses, and new lives. Only the foot of the mountain far away from the village, a remote place where few people came, still had some traces of the battle.
Lu Chen's gaze lingered on the traces by the roadside for a moment, then he walked up the tea mountain.
In front of him was still a mountain full of green tea trees. When the mountain wind blew, the green leaves converged into a green ocean, undulating up and down. Countless spirit tea trees grew on this mountain peak. Everything was green as far as the eye could see. This also made the roads here extremely complicated and confusing.
However, this was not a problem for Lu Chen. He had lived here for ten years, and he had walked up and down this tea mountain countless times. He could walk the roads here even with his eyes closed.
He walked much faster than a few years ago, probably because he had recovered a lot of his cultivation. Soon, he reached the top of the mountain. There were forks in front of him, each leading in a different direction. One was the sinkhole, the other was the Dragon Lake.
Lu Chen naturally walked towards the Dragon Lake. The mountain breeze that blew against his face gradually brought with it a trace of moisture. As he walked closer, the sound of water could be heard from the front.
Lu Chen was slightly startled. In his memory, although the Dragon Lake at the top of the mountain was not small, the water was calm all year round. Even the tides were very weak. Other than some ripples in the mountain breeze, there was almost no other sound. When the weather was good, the scenery here was also extremely beautiful. It could be said to be worthy of the praise of the green mountains, clear waters, and smooth as a mirror.
However, Lu Chen quickly thought of something. He frowned slightly and quickened his pace towards the Dragon Lake.
Not long after, he walked to the edge of the Dragon Lake. Sure enough, he saw a huge black dog playing around in the beautiful Dragon Lake. It dived into the water for a while, came out for a while, and then slapped the water with all its might. The water splashed everywhere, and it was very lively. It was having a lot of fun.
Lu Chen shook his head helplessly. He walked to the edge of the Dragon Lake and shouted towards the water, "Atsu, come up."
Ah-Tu glanced at him and shook its head. It looked like it was unwilling to do so.
Lu Chen coughed, then said solemnly, "Come back, there are demon beasts in the Dragon Lake. I heard that there is a very powerful and vicious fish!"
As he spoke, Lu Chen paused for a moment and then subconsciously recalled. It seemed that when he was still here a few years ago, someone seemed to have mentioned this to him. However, too many things happened after that, and a long time had passed. He actually couldn't remember it clearly.
After hearing Lu Chen's words in the Dragon Lake, Atsu was stunned at first, then it barked at him twice, and actually swam towards him very obediently.
This time, even Lu Chen was a little surprised. He didn't expect this stupid dog to be so obedient today. Originally, he thought that this time, it would probably take a long time to trick this big dog to come back. He didn't expect that with such a casual talk, Atsu would actually come back.
Atsu swam all the way back to the shore, and then jumped onto the shore. Before Lu Chen could walk away, the big black dog's whole body shook violently. Suddenly, water splashed like rain, drifted in the air, and then fell with a pitter patter.
Lu Chen jumped away, glared at the stupid dog, and then turned to walk forward.
Very quickly, he saw the grave that was piled up on the shore of the Dragon Lake.
Yellow soil and rubble were mixed together, without a tablet or tablet, as if the person inside did not leave a trace in this world. Even her name had been blown away by the wind, never to be seen again.
Who would still remember her beauty in the past? That woman who stood under the peach tree facing the wind, with thousands of light pink petals falling like rain, her smile like a flower. Then, like rain and wind, she scattered and scattered, disappearing from the world.
Lu Chen stood in front of this nameless grave for a while, and then sat down. He sat next to the grave, looking at the gradually calming Dragon Lake and the open and clear sky in front of him. The surroundings were very quiet, the world looked very beautiful, and everything seemed so perfect.
He was like a good friend that he hadn't met for a long time, sitting side by side, looking at the world, and then he smiled, using his hand to lightly pat the stone beside him, saying: "I've come to see you, Dingdang."
… …
"Actually, sometimes I think, if you didn't die back then, what kind of relationship would we have?"
Lu Chen looked into the distant sky, as if he was chatting with a beautiful girl who was currently smiling and sitting beside him, quietly listening to him speak. With a trace of a faint smile, he said: "Actually, I thought about many results, and sometimes I thought it was very beautiful. But later on, I gradually realized that I was actually lying to myself. "
He touched the silent grave, and softly said: "If you didn't die, I think the two of us wouldn't have a good ending. Either I let you down, or I harmed you." He smiled, but his smile was a bit bitter, saying: "You see, I was a bit angry at you back then, angry that you didn't want to be infatuated with me, and chose someone else. But now that I think about it, not choosing me was actually very good."
"Although you were also blind, choosing another scum … Ai, so you caused your own death."
"You're such an idiot …"
At this time, Atsu walked over from the side, curiously circling around Lu Chen twice, and then sniffing the ground around him, seeming to be a bit interested in the grave beside him. But very quickly, Lu Chen reached out a hand and hugged its dog head, saying: "This is a very important friend of mine, you must respect her a bit."
With its head clamped by Lu Chen, Atsu did not have any intention of resisting, and instead conveniently laid down, snuggling up to Lu Chen's side. Only when its gaze swept over the pile of yellow soil, it still couldn't help but be curious.
Lu Chen shook his head, and softly said: "Things of the past, even if I told you, you wouldn't understand, so I won't say it."
"Woof …"
… …
On this day, Lu Chen stayed by the Dragon Lake on the tea mountain for most of the day. He only came down the mountain when the sky was getting dark, and returned to the small pub.
As soon as he entered the door, Old Ma came up to him, pulled him in, and then closed the door, saying: "Why are you only back now?"
Lu Chen was not bothered, and said: "I went up the mountain for a walk, and looked at the scenery in the past. What's wrong? "
Old Ma said seriously: "I've already reported your matter, and I used the most secretive and fastest secret channel. Stay here tonight, at most in another eight to ten hours, the Perfected Cultivator might come back with news!"
Lu Chen was shocked, and said: "So fast? That's not possible, unless that damned baldy is near Qingshuitang Village. Otherwise, from what I know, it would take at least two to three days for you to pass the news to Fuyunji, right? "
Old Ma chuckled, and said: "Hehe, that's a secret, but I can tell you that as long as I find the Perfected Cultivator, there is a special supernatural power that is extremely fast."
Lu Chen looked at him, and suddenly laughed, and nodded: "Alright, I'll wait here, and see what that damned baldy thinks of me, and if he will like me coming back."
