The morning wind is moist, passing through the treetops and river valleys, blowing on the river, setting off waves of fine waves.
The rising sun is bright red, like the red decoration on the wedding car and sedan chair of a bride's wedding. It is a very pleasant color.
After bidding farewell to Master Bai He last night, Xu Huaigu followed the previous agreement with Lvzhu, walked down the mountain from the temple and walked to the river.
Along the way, he was recalling the six months he spent with everyone in the temple. He felt a little sad about parting, but it didn't seem to be as strong as in previous years.
He remembered the four years he had lived on Fengtou Mountain when he was a child. The separation at that time was so complete and there was no sadness at all, so Xu Huaigu picked up his sword and hit the road.
At that time, all he could think about was the world, and he just wanted to walk around and see more different people and different things.
Later, they met Zuo Qiuxun, Yu Qin, and Huang Shan. The four of them walked side by side on the road for a long time, and the separation at that time seemed to be painful to the bone. They wished they could send each other ten miles away, one long pavilion, and another ten miles away.
It’s just that there’s no such thing as a feast that lasts forever? Finally, I endured it silently. Now, we have seen more separations, and the taste of separation has changed again.
It's like brewing a jar of wine under the peach and willow trees. Although I'm a little reluctant to part with it, I know in my heart that after a few more years of brewing, the wine will become more fragrant and pleasant.
When you taste it again, the taste will be several times and dozens of times better than now. Perhaps just because he understood this, Xu Huaigu felt better.
This is probably the change of growth. Xu Huaigu walked on the pebbles on the river beach and glanced at the river. He saw green beads already standing on the river bank, waiting for a long time.
Today she changed into gray and blue clothes, and the various styles of hairpins she wore on her head were also changed, but the matching was always very simple, elegant and neat.
Xu Huaigu didn't know that Luzhu also liked to change clothes frequently. He just thought that the Water Goddess who lived for hundreds or even thousands of years like her would have any thoughts on dressing up?
Among the monks, it seems that they are divided into two extreme groups regarding this matter of wearing it. One sect is like Heitong, always wearing a pitch-black robe, as if to bring its own characteristics into the clothes, so that people will think of her when they see the clothes. The Tsing Yi gown of the Fuyao Sect belongs to this sect.
The other group is completely different and likes to change clothes the most. Anyway, I had enough money to buy some more clothes. The white horse Zuo Qiuxun rode with them when they traveled around the world always had a heavy package on it, and it contained all her clothes. I can change it for half a month and it won't be the same.
It was still Zuoqiu Xunhao who was riding a white horse. In his memory, Zuo Qiuxun and Xie Qingyun came to save him when he went to Zixia Sect to attend the East Fuyaozhou Taoist Conference.
From then on, Zuo Qiuxun never changed into secular clothes and always wore the white robe.
From that moment on, Zuo Qiuxun's inner demons gradually became uncontrollable. Luzhu didn't say anything on the river. She just watched Xu Huaigu walking and then stopped. She stopped in place as if she was reminiscing about something, thinking a little.
Xu Huaigu finally sighed, ended his memories, and continued walking towards Luzhu. Luzhu looked at Xu Huaigu, weighed it in his mind, and said with a smile: "I'm glad that Mr. Xu has broken through again?" Xu Huaigu was not in a good mood, and just smiled and replied: "Really?" ? It turns out that you have really broken through. I thought you were only at the late stage of the Seventh Realm." Reading Zan Luzhu nodded and affirmed: "You have really broken through. I think the aura on your body is at least the Eighth Realm." Xu Huaigu replied : "Thank you Miss Lvzhu for informing me." Lvzhu smiled in the wind, put her hair that was messed up by the wind behind her temples, stepped on the river, walked towards the center of the river, and said, "It seems you are not in a good mood. ." Xu Huaigu also walked towards the center of the river. Luzhu held him up with the water of the river, and they walked side by side on the river.
Xu Huaigu smiled apologetically and said, "You can tell. A lot has happened in the past two days. I thought of my old friend again this morning, which made me a little sad." Luzhu smiled and said, "You are really a weirdo. If other people had broken through seven realms and eight realms, they would be grinning from ear to ear, but you are better off. Why are you still worried? Do you want other monks to die of anger?" Xu Huaigu couldn't help but laugh. He looked at Luzhu and felt that this woman How interesting.
Lu Zhu also looked at him with a smile, her smile was like a well after the rain. When the water is full, it overflows. She asked again: "It's not a question to ask, how old is Mr. Xu this year?" She originally thought in her mind that no matter how talented the person in front of her was, he would have at least forty or fifty years of practice in breaking through the Eighth Realm.
Xu Huaigu told her his name two days ago, and she went to check it out, only to find out that this person was not an unknown person, but a new sword-born child from East Fuyao Continent. It's no wonder that Heitong valued him. .
But her understanding of Xu Huaigu was limited to this. The people in Qili Mountain seemed to be quite taboo about him and were unwilling to sell more information. She didn't know that Xu Huaigu was only twenty-two this year.
Xu Huaigu answered her truthfully: "Twenty-two years old." Upon hearing this, Luzhu covered her mouth and said with a smile: "I am asking seriously, Mr. Xu, please don't make fun of me. Looking at you, you are about twenty-two years old, but You must have used the beauty-preserving spell, otherwise how could you have broken through the Eighth Realm at such a young age? Even Master Heitong did not have the cultivation level of the Eighth Realm when he was twenty-two years old." Xu Huaigu saw that Luzhu didn't believe it, so he didn't believe it. After explaining, he asked with a smile: "Forget it if you don't believe it. But you, how old are you?" Lv Zhu put her fingers on her cheeks, looked up at the sky, and seemed to be counting carefully.
After a long while, she replied: "It should be more than nine hundred years old. I can't remember the specific time. Anyway, I have never counted. After all, we are landscape gods, how can we practice as fast as humans?"
"More than nine hundred years ago..." Xu Huaigu murmured,
"At that time, the demon clan had not yet invaded, so it would be a different scene in the Central Territory, right?" Luzhu nodded, looked up at the sky, and replied with some sadness: "That is natural. But in fact, it is not much different for Feiyu Island. . It’s just that the names of sects have changed one after another, and the famous monks have changed batch after batch. In essence, it has remained the same. Those of us who are landscape gods have a terrifyingly long lifespan. But cultivation is also slow, and I can only be a witness to everything, and very few can participate." Xu Huaigu couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm really envious. If you give me such a chance, I would rather be a landscape god." Luzhu He smiled and said, "Okay, how about I leave the Luhua River to you and I can travel around the world by myself?" Xu Huaigu stopped laughing and asked seriously, "Is this really possible?" Luzhu didn't laugh either. He replied: "I'm just joking, it's impossible. Humans are human beings, and gods are gods. They are fundamentally different. It's impossible." Xu Huaigu had no choice but to give up this idea that was contrary to natural principles, and Luzhu took the opportunity to say: "It seems that what you said is getting more and more biased. If Mr. Xu is ready to leave, you should come with me to the Water God Palace. It will be more convenient to talk there if you have anything to say." What gift did the Water God prepare for himself as a thank you?
Lu Zhu suddenly took Xu Huaigu's hand and said with a naughty smile: "Hold on tight." Before Xu Huaigu could react, Lu Zhu's body standing in front of him turned into a pool of water and fell into the river in an instant. Then there was an invisible force pulling him to the bottom of the river.
The power of this river water is incomparable to that of the fake water god a few days ago, and it is completely irresistible. Xu Huaigu suddenly entered the water and suddenly felt like the world was spinning, and all the scenery in front of him became blurry.
He felt nervous, remembering what Lu Zhu said, and grabbed her hand hard. He only felt darkness in front of him, and the water around him was flowing rapidly through his body, but it did not hinder him at all. It was completely different from the usual feeling of entering the water in the river, and it was wonderful.
Gradually, he began to adapt to this feeling, and even enjoyed it a little. The passage of time slowed down. He thought that it had been a long time, but it was only a matter of ten breaths.
Xu Huaigu felt that the darkness in front of him gradually receded, and the flow of water around him also slowed down. A magnificent underwater palace appeared in front of him.
He and Lu Zhu were both at the bottom of the river at this time. Xu Huaigu held his breath subconsciously and did not dare to breathe. Lu Zhu then smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, just breathe in like you do outside. With me here, is it possible?" Are you afraid of drowning?" Xu Huaigu hesitated for a while before taking a bold breath, but it was different from what he expected.
He thought he would take a breath of river water, but the river water did not enter his body at all. Instead, he inhaled a stream of air, and then exhaled, and a bunch of bubbles floated to the surface of the river.
This feeling is very strange. After all, it goes against many years of life experience. Although Xu Huaigu knows that the river water will not hurt him, he is still not used to it.
Lu Zhu just smiled and said: "It's okay, you will get used to it after a while. After all, it is a new experience. If you are really uncomfortable, I will keep the surrounding rivers away from you and leave you a separate space." "Xu Huaigu declined and said, "No, I also want to try this life underwater." After saying this, he immediately realized that he had opened his mouth in the water, and tried to close it in a panic.
But in fact, Lu Zhu had performed the magic, and the river water would not touch Xu Huaigu at all. That appearance made Lu Zhu almost bend over with laughter.
Xu Huaigu was a little shy and said, "This is also the first time I'm talking in the water. Don't make fun of me anymore, girl." Luzhu raised her eyebrows, smiled and comforted her, "It's okay, every sect has something to discuss with me. There are so many people who have entered the river, and most of them have the same reaction as you, and some of them are not even as good as you. You don’t know that those great monks who are so suave outside are so embarrassed when they get into the water. Appearance." Xu Huaigu took a few more breaths and adjusted a little, and then he was able to take a good look at this Water God Palace.
I saw that the entire Water God Palace was in the shape of a conch, spiraling upward to a height of twenty or thirty feet.
The palaces are all built with a kind of gray-white stone, which blends in with the darkness deep in the river. Generally speaking, it has a gloomy style. Under the sparkling reflection of the river surface above, it shines with a strange and eerie look. of light.
Xu Huaigu looked over from a distance and saw busy figures everywhere in the Water God Palace. Most of them were young men and women, wearing uniform clothes, holding various scrolls or books in their hands, rushing from one place to another in a hurry.
Xu Huaigu was very familiar with this scene. Isn't this the scene in the palace of a secular dynasty? Luzhu saw that Xu Huaigu kept looking at the Water God Palace without blinking, so she explained: "Are you curious that there are so many people? In fact, they are just small water gods."
"Managing such a large river is not an easy task. Even if I have endless energy, I can't manage it. As you can see, this place is like a palace in a secular dynasty. Everyone has their own duties. Each has his own position and is responsible for his own affairs. The water god is not like the mountain god, who only cares about his own one-third of an acre. A big river often flows thousands of miles away, so the water god can never be said to be one person, but a group of people. People. I am only responsible for the name of the Luhua River Water God to the outside world, and for supervising this underwater dynasty." Xu Huaigu admired uncontrollably: "I never thought that even the bottom of the river could have such a grand scene, it is really magnificent!" Luzhu! After being praised, Xu Huaigu smiled slightly proudly and pulled him forward: "Let's go, I'll take you in and have a look." After being pulled, Xu Huaigu realized that he had been holding her hand all the time. I quickly pulled back.
However, he saw two red marks on Luzhu's hand. He thought it was because he had pulled it too tightly before, so he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
Luzhu hurriedly lowered her head and walked forward. Xu Huaigu saw that the base of her ears seemed to be a little red. So he and Luzhu walked towards the palace one after the other.
