Chapter 186 Return to the White Mist Forest! Dao Ye's suggestion is not a bad idea, let's start...
The Taoist's suggestion is not a bad idea. At least the ghost scholar thinks it is feasible.
"Go tomorrow?" The ghost scholar looked at the playful man and the Taoist priest, touched his chin, and said thoughtfully.
"Can!"
The playful people would not object to Ye Lu's words.
After the three of them finished their discussion, they returned to their respective small buildings to rest. Those who did not return simply practiced in the stone cave below the small building.
Have a good night's sleep.
When Ye Lu got up, he saw the ghost scholar coming up from the bottom of the mountain with a smile on his face and a frown on his face. Before he could ask, the ghost scholar started to explain, "We have to go out for the next few days, so I just happened to discuss it with the community and the village."
Although it is the slack season for farming in He Village now, the position held by Guzhi Gaogao in He Village is not a sinecure. Is he needed even at this time? Is he an eye for it? What.
When the ghost scholar went down the mountain before leaving, he also meant to temporarily hand over his duties to He Si's uncle.
After hearing this, Ye Lu showed his spear of understanding. No wonder he didn't see Ah Gui when he woke up. He asked the messenger and he was told that Ah Gui had gone down the mountain before dawn.
"It's not bad to give it to Fourth Uncle." After the ghost scholar finished speaking, Ye Lu gave another comment.
"He Fourth Uncle has awakened quite well. When we went down the mountain, we saw that he was as powerful as a knife." The ghost scholar chuckled, walked up to Ye Lu, and told him what he saw when he went down the mountain: "He couldn't even suppress it. I asked him if it was okay, and Fourth Uncle said yes. He just wanted to use these trivial matters to cultivate his mind, so of course I agreed."
"You didn't bring anything with you?" The ghost scholar briefly explained the situation in He Village, then looked Ye Lu up and down. He saw that he was still wearing his usual long robe. The fabric was given by the Zhuhui Caravan and the Colorful Caravan when they passed by. The three brothers asked an embroiderer from the mountain to help make it. There were dark patterns on the robe, which gave it a faint sense of weirdness.
The dark-patterned thread is also made by soaking laurel leaves into silk, then dyeing it and skillfully embroidering it.
But after all, this outfit looks more like a picnic than a search for relics.
"Me? But I also brought a wooden box." Ye Lu showed the wooden box in his arms. There were special patterns of the caravan on the wooden box. In addition to the wooden boxes of the Zhuhui caravan, Ye Lu and his friends also took a lot of wooden boxes of the Colorful caravan.
Zhu Hui and Ban Lan were so used to it that every time they came, they would first deliver a batch of wooden boxes with their special marks.
You know what, these wooden boxes are quite useful.
"I'll go ahead first, and you guys follow behind." Ye Lu was talking to the ghost scholar. As he was talking, his eyes fell on the playful man who appeared behind them at some point.
The playful man approached them silently, his movements as nimble as a big cat, and his entire body was clean. When Ye Lu saw him, the corners of his mouth widened even more.
"Don't be serious. I can't keep up." Ye Lu calmly straightened his sleeves and looked at the ghost scholar and the playful man with a teasing look.
"Don't worry, Taoist priest. Who knows, it might be you who will fall from the front to the back? "The ghost scholar also smiled reservedly.
Because everyone knew that they were going to look for the ruins this time, and whether they could find them or not was up to fate. The three of them actually wanted to take some time out from their long training to go out and have some fun.
Ye Lu laughed loudly, towering into the clouds, startling a flock of flying birds. A faint light flashed on the ground, and the whole person disappeared in front of everyone.
The remaining ghost scholar and the playful man looked at each other, the ghost scholar laughed loudly, and the whole person disappeared like a phantom, turning into a breeze, closely following the figure in the distance.
"...Ha!" The playful man snorted and laughed. He jumped into the air in three or two steps like a nimble flying bird. With a flash of lightning, he disappeared into the air. However, if someone could see clearly at that moment, they would have noticed the thin lightning under the feet of the playful man, carrying him as he ran towards the distance.
The three people chased each other in the air, showing off from time to time.
Because the three of them were all very powerful, there were few sneak attacks along the way. Or someone would sense their presence on the road and come running early. Those who had the courage to launch a sneak attack were killed by Ximingren and Ye Lu who were having too much fun, and their dominoes and white bone lamps were used as sacrifices.
In the evening, the moonlight rises gently.
The three of them randomly found a cave to rest. There was a tiger-like beast in the cave, which was also killed by the three of them. Their flesh and blood were fed to the plants nearby, but the strange bead was left behind.
It was not until noon the next day that the three of them stopped on their journey.
"Is it this way?" Seeing the empty space ahead, Ye Lu, who was in the lead, stopped and said hesitantly. It's not that Ye Lu didn't know the way, but the last time they passed by here, this place was still deserted, and everyone was terribly tormented by the Great Drought.
Now it is no longer the barren land it once was. Everything is green and vast. The long grass sways gently in the wind, and from time to time you can see small animals running around vigilantly in the grass.
"That's it!" The ghost scholar who followed closely behind gave a positive answer. Not only that, he raised his chin towards a normal-sized forest not far ahead and said, "Yes, this is the white fog forest we encountered before."
"The white fog in the white fog forest is probably because after we killed the monster, there were no more prey to fall into our trap, so the miasma disappeared. Now it's just an ordinary forest."
Ye Lu looked in the direction the ghost scholar said.
Sure enough, there was a small forest not far away with not many trees. Compared with the eerie and strange white mist forest in his memory, the change was so great that Ye Lu did not dare to take it for a moment.
The three of them quickly landed in the white mist forest, slowly searching for possible clues.
"Nothing weird here?" The ghost scholar landed on the ground, sensed for a moment, and his tone was a little surprised. Logically speaking, this place is not bad. Although the forest is small, it has everything it should have, including water, grass, trees, and a good climate. He may not like the weird things, but he will definitely like the weird plants and weird beasts.
"I guess it's because the Great Drought Mother killed too many people last time, and the group of strange beasts haven't dared to come back yet." Ye Lu understood it as soon as he thought about it. It was still the sin committed by the Great Drought Mother.
"That's right." The ghost scholar thought about it and thought, "That's right."
"This is the cave where we met Yang Teng last time!" Ye Lu led the way while talking in front, and checked it with his memory from time to time. The main reason was that there seemed to be several places in his memory, and Ye Lu was not sure. It was not until he saw the cave on the mountain wall at the edge of the forest that he suddenly realized it.
The cave is completely bare.
One could only vaguely see traces of something being dug out inside the cave, and that the ground seemed to have been covered up by someone.
The playful man stepped forward and took a look. The last time he came to Bai Wulin, it was him and Dao Ye. He tilted his head and said, "It's here."
The ghost scholar also entered the cave.
"The Taoist priest was lying here originally, and his whole body has turned into white bones." Ye Lu introduced the situation to the ghost scholar who came here for the first time. He pointed to the place where the cave was dug near the earth and said.
"The Yangteng tree took root not far from him."
The ghost scholar followed Ye Lu's words, looked at it, and measured it up and down, and sighed: "No wonder you said that Yang Tengguo was lucky to be alive."
"This cave has nothing in it. It's just luck that I'm still alive today."
The ghost scholar came to the place Ye Lu pointed and raised his hand gently. It seemed as if a breeze was blowing in the cave.
