Chapter 273: The story of Wu Tao, a rare quiet and playful person...
The matter of Wu Tao came to an end. Ye Lu and the other two kept Wu Tao's matter in mind and would talk about what would happen next later.
"Remember to tell Qingsong if you feel unwell." Before leaving, Ye Lu reminded Wu Tao. After all, Wu Tao was an unexpected fruit and was in a serious condition. Wu Tao had not fully recovered, and Ye Lu was very worried.
The black peach tree knew what to do without Ye Lu telling it. The only problem that was bothering it was solved. It turned out that it was because of the sudden birth of fruit. Once the problem was solved, the whole tree was too sleepy and just wanted to rest for a while. When it heard Ye Lu's words, it nodded calmly, turned around and went back to the roots of the tree to rest.
Ye Lu is leaving soon, but I'm still a little worried.
Ye Lu paused for a moment, his eyes slightly lowered, and his consciousness had already floated to the other end.
After a while, Qingsong's familiar voice came over, saying, "I understand." Qingsong's spiritual awareness spread over the three mountains, and he heard all the conversations that Ye Lu and the other two had just had with Wu Tao.
As soon as Ye Lu's consciousness passed over, Qingsong knew what the companion wanted to do.
Ye Lu got Qingsong's affirmative answer, and then he was completely relieved. Qingsong, steady!
The matter on the mountain has been settled.
The ghost scholar and Ye Lu returned to Chongshan. The next morning, the ghost scholar woke up from the stone bed, opened his eyes, and saw a wooden board above his head. There was a layer of painting on the board with paint, and then it was carefully coated with varnish. He had painted it when he had nothing to do. Each of the three people had a painting in their room, depicting the three mountains of the Chongshan mountain range. In addition to the Chongshan mountain, the painting in Ye Lu's room also had a vine with bared fangs and claws.
The ghost scholar looked for a long time before he realized that he was no longer in He Village, but had returned to the mountains.
".......Huh." The ghost scholar sat up from the stone bed and rubbed his eyebrows subconsciously. He hadn't rested for a long time. Now that he had a rest, he had an illusion that he was in another world.
Fortunately, the ghost scholar did not plan to waste too much time in the room. He still remembered why he came back.
The Taoist priest said that he had found the clue to the next site, which was still in the White Mist Forest. The ghost scholar got up from the stone bed, feeling refreshed all over. While tidying himself up, he wondered what clues could be found in the White Mist Forest.
When the ghost scholar finished packing and went out of the downstairs, Ye Lu had already packed up on the hillside outside. He was sitting behind a stone table with his long sleeves fluttering, and began to sip tea in a polite manner.
Ye Lu seemed to have seen the ghost scholar coming out, so he picked up the tea and offered him a cup from a distance.
"You're up so early?" The ghost scholar also sat down and poured himself a cup of tea. After drinking the tea, he felt much refreshed.
"It's getting late." Ye Lu said slowly: "Ah Xi, you'll be back soon."
Let’s try to prove that what Ye Lu said is indeed correct.
Ye Lu and the Ghost Scholar had not been drinking tea for long when a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of them, with a terrifying aura. The Ghost Scholar and Ye Lu's expressions did not change, and it was obvious that they were used to it. After the aura of the person opposite them subsided, the two of them slowly put down the teacups in their hands.
The ghost scholar raised his eyes and looked at the Ximing man opposite him. The Ximing man had changed greatly from before. Even his aura had become different. Living in the back mountain for so long had also brought him a lot of changes. His temperament had become clearer and wilder. He frowned and said, "Is your blood so violent now?" This aura was obviously brought out from the blood.
That is to say, the Ghost Scholar and Ye Lu both have high levels of cultivation and character. If it were someone with a lower level of character, they would probably be frightened by the aura of the Hilarious Man.
The playful man said nothing.
Ye Lu raised his eyebrows, looked at the Ximing man, and waved to him to come over. The tall figure of the Ximing man appeared in front of Ye Lu. In order to make it easier for Ye Lu to observe him, the Ximing man even lowered his head slightly, which made him look more like a large wild beast.
Ye Lu narrowed his eyes and looked at the hipster, and also carefully observed the hipster's expression. When he suddenly approached, the hipster showed some resistance, and then, the hipster suppressed this resistance and continued to keep himself slightly hanging down. It was not that the hipster wanted to resist, it was simply his instinct coming up, he was much wilder, and wild beasts were naturally more vigilant.
Ye Lu was also doing this for? This reaction made people laugh.
After looking at it for a long time, Ye Lu sighed and said, "It's almost done."
Is your blood boiling now?
The ghost scholar was very confused when he heard Ye Lu's painting: "What's coming soon?"
When Xi Mingren heard the words, he also raised his head slightly, and stared at Ye Lu with a pair of clear eyes. At this time, he looked more innocent and simple, and with his tall body, he looked weirdly cute and well-behaved.
Ye Lu couldn't help laughing just thinking about it, but he didn't dare let Xi Mingren know what he was thinking. If this kid knew, wouldn't he make a big fuss about him? Ye Lu coughed twice to cover up his smile and said, "Nothing."
"Axi will go with us this time." If we don't go this time, we don't know when we will go out next time.
The ghost scholar had no objection. Ximing had been staying in the back mountain obediently for such a long time. It was understandable that the Taoist priest felt sorry for him and wanted to take him out to have a look.
"Go now?" The ghost scholar raised his eyebrows.
"Yeah." Ye Lu said calmly.
The playful people followed closely behind.
The three of them had already dealt with Chongshan's matter a long time ago, so they left with a clear conscience. The three of them activated their strange powers and soon turned into a strange power and disappeared on the spot.
The three of them used various methods. Ye Lu used the wood-attributed power. While he walked, the earth and plants automatically helped him. Wherever he went, all the trees helped him. Xi Mingren used his body skills to transform into thousands. While he walked, lightning flashed and the purple light was so dazzling that people were scared away. However, he was the fastest among the three.
The ghost scholar represents the righteous spirit of the gods, surrounded by water vapor, and his whole body looks like a big drop of water in the world, dripping gently from the sky to the earth. He also has a sense of "I am the believer of the gods", but gods are naturally weak in movement, and he is the slowest among the three.
The strength of the three is also different from before.
It took only half a day to reach the White Mist Forest.
As soon as he landed, the ghost scholar looked at the playful man in surprise. This was something he had never seen before. The playful man had not made trouble even once: "Ah Xi, have you grown up?"
The ghost scholar couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark, saying, if it were in the past, even if the playboy followed them halfway, he would still tease them along the way, but today he actually followed them obediently.
"............." The playful man looked at the ghost scholar with an incredible look, as if he couldn't believe that he was such an image in his second brother's mind. But he couldn't do anything now. After a while, he uttered a word: "Heh."
Ye Lu coughed and said with a smile: "No, now all his energy is used to fight against the bloodline, so naturally he doesn't have the energy to go wild everywhere."
He didn't know what Xi Mingren had thought before, but after Ah Gui said this, Ye Lu was sure that Xi Mingren had already made a note of the ghost scholar in his heart.
Ye Lu never interfered in the feud between his two brothers, turning a blind eye to it. He didn't want to be involved.
The playful man narrowed his eyes and stared at the ghost scholar. When he heard Ye Lu cough softly behind him, he reluctantly withdrew his gaze.
It was unclear whether the ghost scholar did it intentionally or unintentionally, and it seemed as if he really didn't see the ghost scholar's gaze. He was calm and composed throughout the whole process.
When the three of them arrived at the White Mist Forest, the sun had just risen above their heads and the sunlight spread down. The dazzling sunlight illuminated the entire plain clearly.
The white mist forest on the plain is also clearer.
It is called the White Mist Forest, but actually there is very little white mist in the forest. There are only large patches of trees. The word "white mist" is just a familiar name to them.
"Nothing here." The ghost scholar raised his head, squinted his eyes and observed for a moment, then retracted his gaze and said affirmatively that he did not feel any strange aura.
"Keep looking forward. I suspect it's in the special place Ah Xi mentioned before." What he was talking about was the last time they came to the White Mist Forest. When they were about to go back, Xi ordered his men to say that they sensed something different.
Ye Lu and the ghost scholar thought they could really discover it, but they didn't expect that the sense of the playful man was not complete, and that special feeling disappeared in a flash.
The three had to leave disappointed.
Ye Lu was mentally prepared when he went there this time. The possibility that Baiwu Forest was the real ruins was very small, and he still trusted the intuition of the Xi Ming people more.
The ghost scholar agreed with Ye Lu's idea. The three of them searched again in the white mist forest several times to confirm that there was no movement, and the playful man did not respond at all.
The ghost scholar looked back several times and saw that everyone had a bored expression on their faces. It was obvious that they were fed up. He once again confirmed his initial guess.
The White Mist Forest was not far from the large mountain range, it was just in another direction. The three of them quickly flew into the mountain range.
The ghost scholar closed his eyes and felt for a moment. The mysterious power of the gods was working, and countless auras came from the mountains, constantly speaking to him.
Some are weird, some are strange beasts, and some other beasts.
"No!" The ghost scholar opened his eyes and said helplessly: "The aura of the mountains is too mixed, it's impossible to distinguish it."
From this we can see how keenly the Ximing people were able to feel the existence of the Father Tree from this vast mountain range. This talent, which is exclusive to the strange beasts of heaven and earth, is so unreasonable.
"Where is Ah Xi?" Ye Lu raised his eyes and looked at the Ximing man next to him.
The man also shook his head: "Too many noises."
Ye Lu felt helpless when he heard this. As the son of Mount Tai, he was not omnipotent. For example, when it came to this vibrant mountain compared to his talent, he knew very little. At most, he knew what needed help, or whether he would be in danger.
Normally, mountains that are full of life don't need his help.
The ghost scholar had already prepared for the fact that the search would not go smoothly this time, so his expression was normal. After accepting the result calmly, he looked at Ye Lu and asked softly: "Brother Lu, can you describe the scene that Yang Teng told you before again?"
Ye Lu nodded and slowly recounted everything he had talked about with Yang Teng, focusing on Yang Teng's feelings at the time.
"Black tentacles? Wrapping it? Making it feel like it's being protected?" The ghost scholar couldn't help but have a headache after hearing these stories again. He wished he could teach these strange plants an lesson immediately. What the hell were they talking about?
"I suspect the black tentacles are strange beasts." Ye Lu pursed his lips. In fact, he had a headache similar to the ghost scholar. Yang Teng's description was really confusing, while he spoke out his true thoughts.
