After Murong Ziyun entered the door, she noticed Lu Chen standing silently by the window, a look of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes. Lu Chen looked calmly at the scenery outside, the biting cold wind blew in from the window,
Flicking the bangs on his forehead, he inadvertently revealed his deep eyes.
"Lu Chen, I heard from Lin Yu, do you also want to participate in this mission?" Murong Ziyun sat down at the table and poured herself a glass of water gracefully.
As soon as the other party entered the door, Lu Chen naturally noticed the other party. He turned around, stared at the other party with a calm expression, and chuckled: "Of course, I can experience it with Senior Sister. I believe this training trip will be wonderful.
!”
Murong Ziyun thought Lu Chen was trying to get close to her, so she didn't show any smile. On the contrary, her expression was very cold: "Your performance in the ranking battle was wonderful. As a newcomer, this is worthy of praise! But you have to remember
, the rivers and lakes are dangerous, the world is ancient, and the journey of experience is not as simple as you think."
Lu Chen's face was calm and his voice was magnetic: "Senior Sister seems to have noticed something is wrong!"
Murong Ziyun gently picked up the tea cup and blew the hot air from it gracefully: "Do you believe that there are drought demons doing harm in this world?"
"Believe it!" Lu Chen leaned against the wall with a calm expression.
"Why? Tell me what you think!"
Lu Chen said slowly: "As the saying goes, there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world. The stars in the universe are vast and infinite. The world of Jiuzhou continent is rich in spiritual energy, and there are countless mountain spirits and monsters lurking in the deep mountains and swamps. Naturally, many monsters are born that run rampant.
It’s just not known to everyone! It is said that at the beginning of the creation of the world, there were strange stories about monsters running rampant and goblins wreaking havoc in the world. The legendary Kunlun Mountain has winding mountains and seas of clouds rolling and flying, just like a fairyland. It is said that there is an immortal
Immortals live here, devouring the essence of the sun and moon, exploring the mysteries of the stars, flying with swords, catching stars and the moon, and asking about the way to immortality!"
"So you are also a boring person, and you actually believe these bizarre rumors!" Murong Ziyun took a shallow sip, leaving a faint lip mark on the teacup.
Lu Chen said: "Senior Sister's words cannot be disputed, but there have been rumors in Kyushu since ancient times that the Emperor Fuxi broke through the void with a bronze sword and soared away, which has become a legend throughout the ages. This kind of thing can happen, that Hanbao
Naturally, the murder is no longer a strange story!"
Murong Ziyun glanced at Lu Chen seriously: "I didn't expect that you know quite a lot!"
At this time, Jiang Yue'er's voice came from outside: "Senior Sister, Senior Brother Ye Ang is here, should we set off!"
After Jiang Yue'er entered the wing, she immediately saw Lu Chen leaning against the wall and said in surprise: "Senior Sister, who is he?"
"This is Lu Chen. He will go with us to Longyang Gang in Wuxi County later to deal with the Hanban attack!" Murong Ziyun briefly introduced Lu Chen.
When Jiang Yue'er heard the name Lu Chen, Shui Lingling's eyes suddenly lit up, and she smiled and said to Lu Chen: "So you are Lu Chen who performed the most dazzlingly in this year's ranking competition. I have known you for a long time. My name is Jiang Yue'er.
But I am a disciple of the fifty-sixth generation, from now on, you have to call me Senior Sister Jiang!"
Lu Chen took a brief look at Jiang Yue'er, who had just walked in. He was not very old, in his early twenties, only as tall as his shoulders, with a baby-fat face. He had a cute smile, which made it easy for people to like him!
"I've met Senior Sister Jiang!" Lu Chen clasped his fists and said with a smile.
Jiang Yue'er showed two tiger teeth and said with a smile: "Junior brother Lu, everyone must take care of each other in the future!"
"Definitely, definitely!" Lu Chen nodded, looking humble.
Jiang Yue'er said: "Let's go, everyone is waiting for us!"
The three of them came to the hall, and Lu Chen also saw Jiang Shaoling who was chatting with Ye Ang!
"Lu Chen, come here, let me introduce you. This is my brother Jiang Shaoling. This big guy here is senior brother Ye Ang!" Jiang Yue'er pointed to her eldest brother and a sturdy young man next to him and introduced.
Lu Chen immediately clasped his fists: "I've met two senior brothers!"
"Are you Lu Chen?" Jiang Shaoling squinted at Lu Chen with a arrogant look.
Chase Lu responded calmly: "Exactly!"
"Hmph, you have been very popular recently. The whole sect is talking about you and Ji Yun. Now it seems that they are nothing. The newcomers had better keep a low profile, otherwise, they will fall into trouble!" Jiang Shaoling The corners of his mouth were raised, and his tone was full of sarcasm.
Jiang Yue'er said dissatisfied: "Brother, what are you talking about? Why are you speaking so unpleasantly? Lu Chen didn't offend you!"
"No, I'm just kindly reminding you, I don't mean anything else! Right, Junior Brother Lu." Jiang Shaoling picked his ears and blew the ear flakes off his nails, looking nonchalant.
Lu Chen didn't say anything. Looking at Lu Shaoling's words and deeds, he lost much interest in this person. He was a playboy and it was hard to get his attention!
"You are Lu Chen. I just returned to the sect recently. I heard that you defeated Liu Chun in the ranking battle!" A low voice came, and Ye Ang's figure suddenly appeared in Lu Chen's sight.
Ye Ang is tall, with dark skin and piercing eyes. His plain-colored uniform is bulged by his muscles, making him look very tough. The most eye-catching thing is the giant sword covered with red and black lines on his back. The sword gives people a faint sense of oppression.
Lu Chen said modestly: "Senior Brother Liu Chun is a good opponent, and I just won by luck!"
"Junior Brother Lu, you are too modest. If you lose, you lose, and if you win, you win. There is nothing to say. It is said that you are so good at wielding a soft sword that it is so magical that Ye Mou has already been itching for a long time. He will definitely ask you for advice someday!" Ye Ang said angrily. , is obviously also a militant person.
Lu Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, and immediately explained: "The rumors are all exaggerated. Senior brother Ye, don't listen to the rumors. If it's just a discussion, junior brother will be more than happy!"
Ye Ang's eyes lit up: "Then it's a deal!"
"Okay, let's stop the small talk. The situation is urgent. Pack your things and hit the road! We are still waiting for us to deal with it at Longyang Gang!" Murong Ziyun said coldly, passed through the crowd, and went straight out of the sect. Service building.
When the remaining Lu Chen saw this, they immediately stopped talking and followed the senior sister out of the Zongfu Building. They each changed into ordinary clothes, took on bamboo hats, and led the green-maned horses down to Suojian Mountain together.
Wuxi County is more than 500 miles away from Jianzong, and it would take a day to reach it with the strength of the green-maned horse. But bad luck, the continuous drizzle in late autumn made the road slippery and muddy, and it was difficult to ride a horse. The journey was even more bumpy, which naturally caused the speed of the journey to slow down a lot.
It wasn't until nightfall that a group of five people stepped into the territory of Wuxi County, but they were still more than a hundred miles away from Longyang Gang, where the Drought Demon was infested.
Thick dark clouds obscured the sky and the earth, not even a single gleam of stars and moon could be seen. The drizzle had stopped. However, what was even more distressing was that fog started to appear while the group was on their way. If you look carefully, you will find that there is something faint in the depths of the fog.
The eerie green light was billowing, shadowy and very strange.
In less than a moment, the fog became thicker and thicker, and it was almost impossible to see even one's fingers. The road ahead was suddenly buried in the strange fog, and the speed of the group immediately dropped by more than half. The visibility was less than three feet away.
, none of them dared to rush forward rashly.
The road was unusually calm, especially when we reached the boundary near Longyang Gang. Not a single pedestrian was seen, the birds and animals were extinct, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that it made people breathless.
Yeah, yeah, the cries of several crows came from the nearby woods, as if indicating some kind of ominous atmosphere, making the atmosphere on the road increasingly weird.
"What the hell is the weather? It's not windy and rainy enough, but it's also foggy. What a ghost!" Jiang Shaoling was full of fuss and was very annoyed by the troubles along the way.
Ye Ang rode ahead and walked slowly, while whispering solemnly: "Senior Sister, it's getting dark, let's find a place to rest! I'm afraid something unexpected will happen if we continue walking."
Murong Ziyun walked in the second place, looking around with beautiful eyes, and then a cold voice came from under the bamboo hat: "You have the same idea as me, but it's a pity that in this hundred-mile radius, even birds and beasts are hard to find, let alone ordinary people.
See, there’s no suitable place to stay along the way!”
Lu Chen didn't say a word, but scanned the dark surroundings with vigilant eyes.
Ye Ang looked around and suddenly saw a bright light appearing in the mist ahead. He immediately grabbed the reins and said in a low voice: "Sister, there seems to be a family sitting in front of you!"
The senior sister hesitated for a moment and said very steadily: "Let's go and have a look together. Everyone, please be careful!"
Ye Ang took off the broad sword from his back, held it in his hand, turned over and dismounted, and holding the reins, slowly walked towards the wooden house submerged in the fog.
After a while, everyone found this ordinary house, the only one with candlelight in a hundred miles. This wooden house was completely black, covering a large area, surrounded by fences, and the two cultivated vegetable fields were in a mess.
, there are cabbage leaves scattered everywhere, and there is even brown liquid mixed in it, which looks very strange.
Lu Chen and others followed closely behind Ye Ang, and they all got off their horses and took their weapons in their hands.
Dong Dong Dong, Ye Ang stepped forward and slammed the door of the black wooden house, patiently waiting for the owner to open the door.
The knock on the door rang for a long time, but there was no movement in the house for a long time. Everyone looked at each other, feeling vaguely strange.
Crunch, just when everyone was thinking wildly, the door of the black wooden house opened!
After a while, an old woman with disheveled hair, a jade hairpin and a sarong skirt walked out of the wooden house. She looked like a hag, looking at the people standing outside the wooden house with cold eyes.
That weird look made Lu Chen and his group feel terrified and their scalps numb.
This old woman has such a terrifying look in her eyes, just like Po Meng in the Netherworld, which makes people feel an inexplicable sense of fear in their hearts for no reason.
