The sky shows the white color of fish belly.

"Brother Tianshi, didn't you play with that girl today?"

"hehe……"

Faced with the teasing of the Chengguan soldiers, Shang Ye silently rolled his eyes, then led Qianxue into the depths of the wilderness, facing the cool summer morning breeze.

Last night, I wanted to say goodbye formally to Master Taiping, but I was told by the disciples of Xianfu that Master Taiping had gone into seclusion.

Shang Ye was not surprised. Cang Wu had said before that he had gained something from studying the Five Swords of the Stone Tablet. He might have been practicing in seclusion in the near future, but he didn't expect that he would skip the parting scene, so he saved his words.

After Shang Ye walked away, he looked back.

Today, there is no figure of Cang Wu on the cliff edge of the mountain top.

When Shang Ye first met this real person, he felt that he was bold and free-spirited, and he was a typical swordsman. After getting along with him for a while, he felt that he was honest and kind, and occasionally said some interesting things, without the airs of a real person.

In just two short months, Shang Ye didn't dare to say he knew much about others.

After all, human nature has many sides, not to mention the Earth Immortal monk who is still in charge of one side, but generally speaking, Shang Ye has a good impression of him and has some connections with him, so he stayed for a while.

After this...

We have a future with each other, let's see and do it.

Shang Ye's own road cannot be guaranteed to be smooth. If there is any accident in the future, it is not impossible to lose his life in this barbaric land.

As for a certain arrogant young lady, Shang Ye didn't even know about her...

The girl made great progress. Shang Ye initially used her to practice swordsmanship, but he didn't expect that she quickly adapted to and absorbed the player's utilitarian style of play.

Recently, Shang Ye can no longer rely solely on his rich combat experience to deal with them. If he doesn't use the divine descending technique and the Five Swords of Stone Tablets, he will be suppressed, so he has no choice but to leave.

Several months have passed since my junior sister knocked on the door that night.

Shang Ye's swordsmanship has made great progress, and his Taoist realm has also risen to proficiency. However, due to the frequent use of high-level swordsmanship, his cultivation is still stuck in the middle stage of foundation construction, and his progress has fallen behind a bit. It is necessary to stop before it is too late.

Speaking of which, Lu Hongluan is leaving Taiping Mountain in the next few days. It seems that he is following his family's arrangements and going to a paradise in Zhongtian to prepare for the formation of pills and breakthrough.

No matter if you leave the Northland now, you can basically avoid the evil disaster during the autumn harvest.

But after Shang Ye left, he planned to continue heading north...

"Master, where are we going?"

Qianxue took the lead and jogged a few steps, then turned back and asked.

Shang Ye thought for a moment and replied: "Well, if you go northwest, you will encounter a very long canyon called Dahuang Valley. It is said to be thousands of miles long and hundreds of miles wide...

"

"It looks amazing. Is it fun there?"

"It's not fun. Let's not go there just yet. Let's find a place to hang out for a while."

"oh……"

"There may be danger in the future, Qianxue, don't run around and stay by your master's side at all times."

"Know it."

The two walked for a long time, and Taiping Mountain gradually turned into a blurry black spot on the horizon.

Shang Ye looked back for a while and silently breathed a sigh of relief. No one was chasing her. The young aunt had been trying to fight the five swords on the stone tablet all day long. She was extremely difficult to deal with and would not stop all day long.

Now that I think about it, these days have been really lively, and it has finally come to an end. I wonder how long people in Taipingshan will talk about him and Lu Hongluan, and the two of them will be in a lot of trouble.

"Master, what are you looking at?"

Qianxue followed Shang Ye's line of sight and looked behind her.

"What else can I see..."

"Sister Hongluan?"

"It sounds so intimate..."

"When Master is meditating, my sister often comes to talk to me."

"What words?"

"Whisper."

Shang Ye squinted his eyes with a suspicious expression.

"Master, don't worry. My sister asked us yesterday when we were leaving, but I didn't even tell her."

"Qianxue, be good."

"But actually, it doesn't matter if I say it, my sister won't come after me."

"Haha, why?"

There is a crazy girl named Lu who uses both soft and hard tactics in order to learn the Five Swords from Stone Tablets. Shang Ye has been suffering from it these days and how can he let her go so easily?

"Because we agreed that when I learn swordsmanship from my master, I will teach it to her..."

"Oh, that's how it is……"

Shang Ye was stunned, "Wait a minute, when did you two have such a strong relationship? It's okay for the one named Lu. Find another way. Girl, how can you turn your elbows outward?"

"No!"

Xiao Qianxue grabbed Shang Ye's sleeves and shook them, and said coquettishly: "In this case, sister doesn't have to pester the master or be his apprentice. The master can just have Qianxue alone."

"Well, it seems to make sense..."

Shang Ye looked at the sky silently, feeling that Lu Hongluan's matter was definitely not over. He just hoped that this second-term girl could show some loyalty and not talk nonsense just because he left without saying goodbye.

…

Ten days later.

Shang Ye was wearing a polar suit made of withered grass and crawling on a small hill.

Within the field of vision, the gray land that should have extended infinitely suddenly revealed a cliff-like crack in the distance. This fault zone, which is too large to be estimated, is the Great Wilderness Valley. With this place as the boundary, the south side is commonly known as the outer valley.

The north side of the wasteland is the inner wasteland—the real habitat of the demon clan.

Because of its low terrain, the Great Wilderness Valley has gathered a large number of water veins in the wasteland, and there are quite a few lakes in it. It is a rare habitat in this wilderness, but now it is extremely quiet.

Shang Ye looked at it from a distance, feeling vaguely uneasy. It was like the calm before the storm. Not to mention monsters, there was not even a trace of ordinary birds and animals.

He calculated the time and decided not to risk his head for reconnaissance. At this moment, he was half-stepping on the gate of hell, and a herd of beasts that would cover the sky and the sun might surge in from the north of the Great Wilderness Valley at any time.

Shang Ye climbed down the hill and came to an inconspicuous cave. The ground nearby was soft and there were many potholes on the surface of the hill.

Qianxue squatted at the entrance of the cave, resting her face on her hands, looking a little bored.

When she saw Shang Ye coming, she stood up and wanted to speak. The latter took off the grass cloak he used to disguise himself, made a sign of silence, then took her hand and walked deeper into the cave.

The cave was pitch dark, Qianxue leaned towards Shang Ye, looking a little cramped.

Shang Ye touched Qianxue's head, then rubbed out a ball of spiritual fire, and continued to penetrate deeper. After a while, the two came to a small underground cavity.

There are several pools here with clear water, indicating that they are connected with water veins.

Shang Ye had previously inspected the cave and found no traces of animal activity. He came to the largest pool and took out the water-repelling bead "Water Moon".

"Girl, we'll go down in a while, hold on tight to me."

Qianxue nodded and hugged Shang Ye.

The deep pool water rippled, and a bright white light lit up under the water.

Shang Ye held the Water Moon Pearl with one hand and was in a water bubble that was the same height as his body. He slowly sank down. After about twenty meters, he stepped on the sand under his feet and reached the bottom of the water.

It's not deep enough...

Shang Ye thought for a while, then borrowed the light from the water droplets, and after groping for a while in this underwater world filled with only mud, sand and stones, he found a waterway that he could barely get into.

He kept his body short and pulled Qianxue in. If there was no way ahead, he would have to go back. Anyway, he had the magic weapon in hand, so he didn't have to worry about making mistakes.

Fortunately, I had good luck today.

A quarter of an hour later, Shang Ye's head emerged from another cave pool.

Seeing that the space nearby was spacious, he breathed a sigh of relief. He had accidentally stirred up sediment in the long and narrow water hole, causing his eyes to go dark. He relied solely on his spiritual consciousness to guide him and then walked out.

After landing, we explored for a while.

There are no other passages in this cave, only some rock crevices for ventilation. In addition to the pool where you came from, there is also an underground lake about the size of a basketball court.

Shang Ye hesitated on the shore, then jumped into the lake holding Qian Xue, who looked confused.

The fluorescence emitted by the water beads shines through the clear lake water and illuminates the nearby rock walls, but it still cannot dispel the darkness deep under the water.

Shang Ye sank for a while and felt that it was secluded enough and the depth was almost the same. He found a concave rock wall where the ground was fairly flat, so he used water-repelling beads to open up a bubble space that could accommodate a house, and then

Ruyiju was released.

Qianxue cheered and hurriedly opened the door and rushed in. The underground cave was dark and quiet. It was a bit depressing along the way, but it made her feel overwhelmed.

Shang Ye looked around for the last time. Apart from the slight sound of running water, there was no other movement. Seeing nothing unusual, he returned to the house.

"Master, what are we doing here?"

Xiao Qianxue walked out of the kitchen holding the snack jar.

This girl is very obedient to her own will. The first thing she does when she comes home is to think about food.

"I won't do anything, just hide for a while."

Shang Ye replied casually, and then placed the Water Moon Pearl on the table in the living room for lighting.

Water-proof beads are a good thing. They can walk on water and open up underwater space. The most important thing is that the bubble walls with occasional flashes of light can absorb air from the water like fish gills for short-term survival.

He spent all this effort to settle here for no other reason than to hide. The reason is very simple. In a few months, the wasteland demon clan will attack.

According to the game, after the human race traced it, they completed the early assembly in the Great Wilderness Valley nearby, which means...

Shang Ye raised his head and glanced at the ceiling.
Chapter completed!
