The transparent flame floated towards Lan Zhi's soul.
She stretched out her palm, held up the flame, and transformed it back into the form of a green lotus, then retracted the flame.
Now Lan Zhi's soul also has the ability to change colors, and she can also change from blue to transparent.
Due to the upgrade of the earth flame, the "fire" character in "Piaomiao Wuzhan" can no longer suppress the earth flame, but it consciously restrains its power and nourishes the golden "fire" character.
Lan Zhi walked to the lake and took a look. There was no blood or bones in the lake. It was clean and there was nothing left.
There is another mountain on the other side of the lake. The mountain is dark red and there is no grass on it. The green soul raised his foot to see what was happening on the mountain. At this moment, daylight suddenly fell.
It was really sudden, as if the night was a black cloth, and someone suddenly pulled away the black cloth, bringing in light.
The sun hangs in the sky, casting rays of warm light.
The green soul is not afraid of the sunlight, but the dark red mountain disappeared instantly under Lan Zhi's eyes.
Where did the mountain go?
Lan Zhi looked puzzled. Such a huge mountain disappeared without a trace, replaced by green grassland. The farther away was shrouded in white smoke and visibility was very low. Lan Zhi gave up the idea of continuing to investigate. She turned around and was surprised to see that the Chishui Lake was full of water, and the place where the Chishui Forest was before was now covered by an ordinary forest.
"Huh?"
Lan Zhi thought for a moment and guessed that the secret realm during the day was different from the secret realm at night. If she wanted to explore the secret realm, she had to do it at night.

Zhu Tong woke up early. She opened her eyes and found herself hugging Tian Miao with her legs resting on her legs. This made Zhu Tong very embarrassed. Fortunately, Tian Miao was sleeping soundly and was not woken up by her. So she tiptoed to put on her clothes, walked out of the room and started cooking.
The Lan brothers also got up one after another. They fetched water to wash themselves and hung out to dry the straw sandals they had washed last night. They didn't bring shoes when they came out, so they could only continue to wear yesterday's cloth shoes. The cloth shoes were still a little wet and very cold to wear. The two brothers relied on their youth and vigor and didn't take it seriously. After washing, Lan Zheyu returned to the room with his younger brother and began to whisper.
"Second brother, why do you think our eldest brother doesn't like Tian Miao?" Lan Jinyu asked.
"How would I know what Big Brother is thinking? Anyway, I like Tian Miao very much, especially when she calls me Second Brother. I feel her tone of voice is familiar to me, as if she used to call me that often..."
"Me too. The first time I saw her, my heart softened and I wanted to give her my whole heart." Lan Jinyu sighed.
"Why would you cut out your heart? You might as well send more food. Food can fill people's stomachs, but can your heart fill them?"
Lan Jinyu said, "I'm just giving an example..."
After a pause, he continued, "Let's take Tian Miao to see Daddy. If Daddy likes her, maybe he will allow her to live in our house. That way, we can see Tian Miao every day."
Lan Zheyu thought for a moment and said, "No."
"Why?" Lan Jinyu frowned, feeling very dissatisfied. Although he and his second brother were twins, after he met Tian Miao, his second brother's position in his mind was sidelined. Lan Jinyu really wanted to keep Tian Miao by his side and feed her until she was plump and white.
Lan Zheyu said, "I'm worried that Dad will be like my elder brother and have no feelings for Tian Miao."
Lan Jinyu said, "So what? We just bring Tian Miao back to show him. If he doesn't like Tian Miao, we can just send Tian Miao back home."
Lan Zheyu said, "It's not as simple as you think. You usually guard the shop and don't have much contact with Dad. You haven't seen Dad's strange behavior..."
"What's wrong with Dad?"
Lan Zheyu was silent for a moment before he said, "I once saw Dad open Mom's urn and eat a handful of ashes..."
"How is this possible? Second brother, is it possible that you are dazzled and saw it wrongly?"
Lan Zheyu said, "It might be a mistake once, but I've seen it two or three times..."
"The urn is only this big. If Daddy keeps eating the ashes, wouldn't he have eaten the urn empty?"
Lan Zheyu shook his head. "No... In my memory, I seem to have seen my father burning the bodies of the villagers and placing their ashes in my mother's urn..."
"How disgusting!" Lan Jinyu couldn't accept that his father had such a special eating habit. There was so much food at home, couldn't his father eat some normal food?
"Not only that, we used to have a black dog, do you remember?"
Lan Jinyu nodded. "I remember, my father loved dogs and always took them with him when he went out. They had three tails, and when I was little, I was naughty and loved pulling their tails. They didn't resist and just let me pull them obediently."
In Chihu Village, it was difficult for ordinary families to support themselves, let alone pets. Only the village chief had a black dog with dark green eyes and sharp thorns on its back. Everyone thought this was normal.
Isn't this what dogs look like?
The black dog often accompanied the village chief out and rarely stayed at home. Later, he simply stopped going home. Lan Jinyu seemed to have not seen the dog for several years and didn't know whether it had died outside.
Lan Zheyu said, "When I was a child, I saw that dog drooling over a corpse. And every time it looked at me, its eyes were filled with greed... as if it wanted to eat me."
"Brother, didn't we grow up together? Why do our childhoods feel so different?" Lan Jinyu scratched his head. "Maybe you're overthinking it. I think the black dog looks at us with enthusiasm. It's trying to please us."
"Maybe, but I still don't want Tianmiao to see Daddy."
"Okay then, I'll listen to you." Lan Jinyu didn't insist anymore. If his father was really a weirdo, then he should not introduce him to his younger brother Tianmiao. At worst, he could be more diligent in the future and send more food to Tianmiao's house.
At this time, Zhu Tong knocked on the door and said, "Dinner is ready, get ready to eat."
"Okay." Lan Jinyu responded and opened the door. There was a table in the room where he and his second brother slept. The Zhu family did not have a living room, so the siblings usually ate in this room.
Zhu Tong brought in the bowl. She had cooked dumpling soup this morning and also steamed a few buns, which she served with pickled carrots.
Lan Zheyu asked, "Where is Tianmiao?"
Zhu Tong replied, "My younger sister is still sleeping. Maybe she didn't sleep well last night. I wanted her to rest a little longer, so I didn't wake her up."
"Let her get up. She didn't eat last night and must be starving. It's not too late to sleep after dinner." Lan Zheyu and his third brother were about to leave after dinner. Before leaving, he wanted to see Tian Miao again.
"I'll go call her."
Lan Jinyu stood up, ran to the next door, knocked on the door, and shouted, "Tian Miao, Tian Miao!"
There was no response from the house.
Lan Zheyu walked behind and asked, "Is Tianmiao not in there?"
