After Chen Lu came back, he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes. He lay down with his clothes on. His teacher Ade came in, all wet. He was holding an umbrella in his hand. There was still water dripping from the umbrella. It seemed that he had come here on a rainy day.

.

Chen Lu was confused, it was the middle of winter, how could it rain on this snowy plateau?

Chen Lu felt as if he hadn't seen his teacher for a long time, so he hurriedly paid his respects.

Ade was not polite, and after he finished bowing, he said, "Zicheng, your speed is too slow. If you continue like this, you will definitely miss the deadline. If you can't reach Halie before Xiayuan Festival, something big will happen."

Chen Lu also knew that the delay had been too long, and there were problems almost everywhere he went. He said: "The teacher is very scolded. We will march for a few days to make up for the time. But the future is full of variables, and I'm afraid it's not me."

What Zicheng can predict."

Ad said: "On the way, don't get entangled in trivial matters. As long as there are still people in the mission who can move, no matter how many people there are, just go west."

Chen Lu suddenly knelt down and said, "Student, I have something to ask for."

Ade said: "Get up and say what you have to say."

Chen Lu lost his usual playful smile and said seriously: "Teacher, the student knows that his time is short, and he really wants to do more for the country. However, along the way, the student feels deeply that he is incompetent and has no power to restrain the chicken.

"When the critical moment comes, I have to wait for the soldiers, and all the time is wasted on this. The student asks the teacher to find a way to let the students learn powerful skills. In that way, the thieves can't do anything to me, and the soldiers' time will not be wasted on me.

If you put it on your body, your speed will speed up a lot."

Ade pondered for a moment and said: "What you said makes sense. You should have some skills. Your Qinglong Sword cannot kill those ordinary people. I will find a way. As for the life span you mentioned, you just have to deal with it well.

My own errand, the way of heaven is unclear, who can understand the will of heaven? Don't think wildly, I will go." Suddenly he disappeared.

Chen Lu suddenly woke up, rubbed his eyes, and looked around, only the charcoal basin was sizzling. He shook his head and smiled bitterly, and fell on the bed.

He seemed to see the teacher walking in the rain. It was really raining. There was chaos between the sky and the earth. Thin lines of rain hit the water on the ground, causing blisters.

It was raining continuously. It must have been raining for several days. No wonder the teacher brought an umbrella.

The moment he looked at the rain, the teacher disappeared. The weather became more and more gloomy, and he couldn't see anything five steps away. Chen Lu was lost, so he quickly took a few steps forward and saw a bright light flashing in the distance, like someone's house.

of lights.

Where the light was bright, Chen Lu saw slender willows in the rain, banana plants, and a path lined with tall sycamore trees. He felt as if he had returned to the capital. Oh, does the capital also have such sycamore trees?

Chen Lu walked towards the light. He saw a figure, which seemed to be Ade's back, walking into a small courtyard in the light. It turned out that the teacher's family lived here. He followed and walked in.

This was a small courtyard surrounded by a fence. It was foggy and I could not see clearly what was in the courtyard. I could only see the light coming from the window. The teacher must be in the room. I thought to myself that somehow, Chen Lu himself was already in the room.

Inside.

This is a thatched cottage. Although the roof is not low, it still feels depressing. The lamp in the room is like a bean, and an old man is sitting on a stone bench knitting something. Chen Lu looked carefully and saw that he was not the teacher Ade at all, although he looked somewhat similar in body.

The old man didn't even raise his head. Chen Lu saw that what he was weaving seemed to be a basket for catching fish and shrimps. This could be seen everywhere in Chen Lu's hometown. Chen Lu often saw Uncle He, the concierge of his residence, making this basket.

Chen Lu stepped forward and sang a song. The man seemed to have seen Chen Lu, looked at his official uniform, and kept asking: "What's the official business of coming here?"

He spoke in Jiangnan Mandarin. Chen Lu couldn't tell his height. He looked about seventy years old. What attracted Chen Lu most was the old man's hair. It was gray and green, and he couldn't tell the original color. It seemed to be

Green, Chen Lu thought, is there anyone with green hair?

The old man's words stopped Chen Lu, yes, what are you doing here? He hesitated for a long time, regained his composure, and said: "My old man and the teacher came here one after another, but the teacher was missing. I saw him entering your house.

I followed in, why is it you?"

The old man didn't look at him and said coldly: "What old man? Whose old man are you? The little old man didn't see anyone walk in. You can't find the teacher. Do you think you suspect that I have hidden him?"

Chen Lu is no longer the ordinary person he was before. He has gained some foundation and understands that there must be some reasons for this. He smiled and said: "I'm just kidding, how could it be! Am I like that? You don't know, I am...

"

The old man put the half-woven shrimp basket heavily on the ground and said, "Then I killed him?"

Chen Lu was very angry. Isn't this nonsense? Forget it, such an old man may be confused and refuse to care about him, so he turned around and walked outside.

But he couldn't take a step at all, as if someone was holding him tightly.

Chen Lu looked at the old man in confusion, as he was weaving the basket as if nothing had happened.

Chen Lu struggled hard, but to no avail. He remembered the conversation with Ade and the mist when he was treating the patient at night, so he drew out his sword and stabbed randomly.

When the old man saw his Qinglong Sword, his expression changed slightly.

Chen Lu saw this and felt proud in his heart. Even if you are a great Luo deity, you are still afraid of the three points of the Qinglong Sword.

However, the Green Dragon Sword stopped in the air and seemed to be fixed there. When Chen Lu took a closer look, there was a bamboo strip wrapped around the Green Dragon Sword, which was used to make shrimp baskets.

Chen Lu was shocked, and he understood everything. This was the master Ade had found for him.

Chen Lu turned around and walked towards the old man. It was really strange that he walked in this direction without any resistance. Chen Lu knelt down and bowed respectfully four times and said, "Disciple pays homage to the master."

The old man said: "Again, who is your master? I just said that the teacher can't be found. It's a big deal. Then he said that he is my disciple. Your master betrayed you very quickly. What can I teach you? Weave shrimp baskets.

?”

Chen Lu said: "My old man came here to pay homage to his master."

"It's messy and incoherent? What do you mean by being ordered to become a disciple?"

Chen Lu said: "My mentor, Ade, asked me to come and become my disciple."

The old man said expressionlessly: "I don't know any Adelaos. Since you are here, please do a job for me."

Chen Lu was a little confused. Looking at his expression, it didn't look like he was talking nonsense. Could it be that this was not the person Ade was talking about becoming a disciple? He said, "Disciple, please give me your instructions, master."

"First pick up the bugs on the ground."

Chen Lu agreed and stood up to look for bugs. The light seemed to be much brighter. He didn't find any bugs on the ground. When he was about to turn around and tell the old man, he suddenly found a pair of small green lights on the ground shining on him.

Chen Lu looked carefully, said "Wow", turned around and ran away. He saw the thing he was most afraid of in his life - a toad, a toad.
