Floating clouds

Chapter 43 Leisure

Lin Xinglu and Cheng Jun lay down by the lake together.

Cheng Jun took the elixir, and his gray face faded. He smiled weakly and said, "I almost thought I couldn't get out."

Lin Xinglu looked at the several burns on his shoulders, only to realize later, he felt a burst of pain, he also sighed, and said, "Me too."

Cheng Jundao: "If it wasn't for me, you would have come out a long time ago."

Lin Xinglu smiled and said, "If it wasn't for your elixir, I wouldn't be able to get out."

They both looked at each other and laughed.

The rags torn from their clothes were still binding the hands of both of them, but neither of them moved, and now there was nothing to make them move except a water monster suddenly appeared in the lake.

The stars and the bright moon in the sky shone light on their tired faces, the breeze was blowing on them, the lake was quiet, and no monsters appeared to scare them.

Extreme fright and exhaustion made them close their eyes and fall into a deep sleep, but Lin Xinglu still held the sword tightly in his hand, as if he could wake up from his dream at any time and deal with all changes.

They didn't move for a whole night, and they didn't wake up until the morning sun fell on their faces.

Lin Xinglu was covered in mist and felt covered and wet. He stared at the lake, hesitating whether he could go down and take a bath.

There are snow-white whitebait in the lake, spit bubbles to the surface of the water from time to time, and then dive back.

In this secret realm where monsters are everywhere, will there be monsters like Daosha City in the lake, hiding in it, waiting for their prey to throw themselves into the net.

Cheng Jun looked at him in a daze, and asked, "Xinglu, what are you thinking?"

Lin Xinglu said: "I was wondering if there would be monsters in the lake."

Cheng Jun held his chin, squatted aside, and said, "There shouldn't be any. If there were, there shouldn't be so many fish in the lake."

Lin Xinglu patted his forehead and said, "That's right, why didn't I think of that."

After speaking two or three times, he took off his clothes and stood in the lake water. The lake water was very cold, which made him shiver. Just in case, he didn't walk very far.

Cheng Jun opened his mouth wide. He didn't expect that Lin Xinglu was worried about monsters and wanted to take a bath.

He only knew that Lin Xinglu liked to be clean, but he didn't expect that the first thing he would think of at this moment would be to take a bath. I really don't know how many people need to be spoiled to get used to this kind of cleanliness.

Cheng Jun clenched the sword in his hand and stared at the lake quietly.

There is one thing he hasn't said yet, that is, these fish may not be enough to fit the monsters in the lake between their teeth, but there is no need to say it now.

Lin Xinglu cleaned it hastily, and went ashore to change his clothes. His hair was wet and hanging on the new clothes. After bathing, his face looked soft, his eyes were dark, without any cold frost, and the morning light shone on his black hair. , the red mole on the back of the neck flashed in the black hair, Cheng Jun stepped back gently, trying to hide something.

Afterwards, Cheng Jun simply took a rest, and the two of them sat on the rocks to bask in the sun as if they were traveling.

Lin Xinglu said: "Do you think that dragon is very similar to the one on Tang Wan's walking stick, the head of Kunlun?"

Cheng Jun frowned and thought for a while, then said: "You say so, it is indeed very similar, but the spiritual pet of Master Tang is known as Jiaolong, maybe the body of Jiaolong is here."

Then he was surprised: "No, why did he put the body of the dragon here? Shouldn't he be with him?"

Lin Xinglu said: "Maybe it's for feeding."

Cheng Jundao: "Feeding? But the monsters in the valley are guarding the elixir, and they don't run around. Could it be that the master Tang wants to feed not monsters, but..."

Before he could finish his sentence, his face turned pale, and then turned into anger.

If this is the case, then there is an explanation for Tang Wan's insistence on the secret realm of Shique once every 50 years.

He also knew that Jiaolong couldn't be fed just by pills.

Lin Xinglu said: "He must feel that the clothes are perfect, because everyone who has seen the dragon has been eaten, and there is no return in the secret realm, isn't it every time?"

Cheng Jun was trembling with anger, and said: "This time we go out, I will tell Master."

Lin Xinglu nodded, and said again: "I think this place is also weird. The aura here is at least twice as strong as that outside the mist."

Cheng Jun's thoughts were still immersed in the head of Kunlun and the cultivator raising dragons. He said casually: "I feel it too, maybe it's because we have entered the center of the secret realm."

Lin Xinglu didn't speak, but looked around. As far as he could see, there seemed to be only this clear lake water. This water came out of nowhere. He could neither feel the surge of underground water nor see any The water flows together, as if creating such a lake out of thin air.

The lakeside is empty, there are neither shadows of monsters nor elixir, why is such a place so rich in aura?

With a "grunt", his stomach groaned, pulling Cheng Jun out of his angry thoughts.

Cheng Jun said with a smile: "You don't even eat Bigu Dan, do you?"

Lin Xinglu said: "I have eaten this, but it's gone now."

Although Mu Zheng didn't let them take the elixir, he couldn't let them starve to death outside, so he still prepared a small amount of Bigu elixir for them.

Cheng Jun took out a palm-sized bamboo tube, shook it in front of Lin Xinglu, and said, "Guess what's inside?"

Lin Xinglu shook his head, it couldn't be bamboo rice.

Cheng Jun opened it, and inside was a pill the size of a spirit bead. He handed one to Lin Xinglu and said, "This is a bigu pill that can be chewed and eaten."

Lin Xinglu took it and chewed it. A sweet and sour taste spread out in his lips and tongue. The sweetness of honey filled the whole mouth, making people unable to help licking all their teeth clean.

The taste reminded him of the hawthorn candies he ate at home.

He said, "Like hawthorn candy."

Cheng Jundao: "That's it. This is made by my senior sister. The senior sister said that when she was in the village, she could only eat hawthorn candy during the New Year, so she made this bigu pill. Unfortunately, I have never eaten hawthorn. sugar."

Overseas monks spend almost no time on eating, drinking and having fun. Their lives are always fighting against the law of heaven. What they are good at is magic weapon cultivation, not adding sugar to sour things, making a fish into a hundred tricks Come.

Lin Xinglu recalled the taste in his mouth, and slowly stretched his body, letting the sun shine on his face, he asked, "Did your senior sister also get it from it?"

The word Zhongyuan represents home, a warm home, and a place full of hatred and blood. Even if it is just mentioned, it needs to be mentioned in the sun.

Cheng Jundao: "Well, but when the master brought me here, I don't remember much. The senior sister said it was very good there. When you left, it was also so good?"

Lin Xinglu closed his eyes to cover up the glare in his eyes, and nodded.

Cheng Jun said: "Can you tell me?"

Lin Xinglu didn't know what to say, he deliberately didn't talk about the past, and buried all the memories of the Central Plains in the depths of his memory. Seeing Cheng Jun looking at him expectantly, he thought about it and spoke slowly.

In the morning, there are flower sellers. The flowers with dewdrops are loaded in the load, waiting for the girls to choose. They came out of the wall and made an appointment to eat at the newly opened restaurant together.

He spoke eloquently, the smell of food, mixed with street sugar people, candied haws, and rice cakes, filled the streets and alleys, and the girls' fragrant clothes seemed to brush past his face, and they were angry or smiling. All with shyness and innocence, writing lines on paper in the school, intelligent or dull.

In the end, it all burned up in his mind and turned into ashes all over the sky.

The two of them sat lazily by the lake, chatting about their thoughts, the sun shone on their faces, leaving behind the young figure of Xin Chang, under the weight of the cultivation world that could not relax for a moment, the two of them let go of the burden in their hearts, Like a person with nothing to do, think about nothing and enjoy this moment quietly.

Suddenly, Cheng Jun's aura surged, and the dense aura from the lake surrounded him and penetrated into his dantian.

His thoughts had flown to the beautiful Central Plains, and he had an epiphany in this beauty.
