As the morning light dawned, Jiang Yan slowly opened his eyes.
The dazzling golden light shone in through the window, illuminating the room. Countless dust particles danced disorderly in the light, like a group of happy elves playing games.
"Sir, don't...sleep, it's...it's time to eat!"
Lu Lu's little head poked in from the door of the house. Her face was red, and her eyes looking at Jiang Yan were misty. Behind the mist, there were bright stars.
It only took Jiang Yan half an hour to sit in front of the dining table. Even in the morning, Lu Lu cooked with great care. The breakfast was rich and fragrant.
While eating, he talked to Lu Lu about his interesting experiences during this period, downplaying the dangers and highlighting luck and achievements. Don't worry those who care about you. This is what a qualified and responsible man should do. .
After dinner, the two of them went out hand in hand, and first came to Changnan Street. They had no purpose. They were just shopping. During the day, the two of them stopped in many places in Guihua City.
Without thinking about anything related to martial arts, position, or weirdness, Jiang Yan stayed with Lu Lu all day long.
The same goes for the second day and the third day.
Jiang Yan and Lu Lu discussed moving away from Guihua City, but what he didn't expect was that Lu Lu, who had always been well-behaved, showed hesitation.
She doesn't want to leave here.
Jiang Yan once thought that if Lu Lu didn't agree, he would be more domineering and take her away, but when the truth came out, he hesitated.
"Are you really not going to leave with me? Yehuaicheng is very good." While eating dinner, Jiang Yan brought up this topic again. This was the second time they discussed this topic.
"Master." Lu Lu pouted and insisted in a low voice, "I still want to stay here and guard our home. The outside world is very big and is not suitable for me."
"As long as... you can come back often."
Guard our home, as long as we come back often... Jiang Yan's heart suddenly softened.
Hmm... Why does it feel like a man goes out to work hard to make money, while his wife stays at home? Jiang Yan couldn't help but have this idea in his mind.
With a sigh, Jiang Yan shook his head and stopped the topic.
…
The next day.
Jiang Yan changed his attire, wearing black clothes, carrying a long sword on his back, and carefully placed various talismans in the lotus space.
After resting, he did not go to the Dahe Gang to visit his old friends, nor did he go to Feishan to buy jade pieces. Instead, he planned to explore the iron ore stronghold first, trying to discover the unknown secrets here.
He always suspected that his ability to travel here was due to stress triggering some kind of strange and elusive event.
This may be a magic array, an instrument, or the gaze of an unknown existence, but no matter what it is, Jiang Yan plans to explore it. Even if he really finds nothing, it will settle his worries.
Using all his body power, he only took one morning to reach the iron ore stronghold that ordinary people would reach in three days.
Since he was found to have martial arts qualifications by the Dahe Gang and joined the patrol team, this is the second time Jiang Yan has stepped into the iron ore stronghold, which should now be the territory of the Lishui Gang.
But for Jiang Yan, this was an indifferent matter. Without the intention of alarming anyone, Jiang Yan secretly came to the depths of the iron ore stronghold.
Deep underground, not all tunnels are visited by people. Some mine tunnels that have been mined for many years have long been hollowed out. These hollowed out tunnels have actually lost their value and have been abandoned.
Jiang Yan took out the Gathering Talisman and activated it. Light suddenly appeared in the cold and empty abandoned mine tunnel. The soft and bright light dispelled the darkness and shone on the gray-white rock wall.
It was very quiet in the abandoned mine tunnel, not even the chirping of some insects adapted to underground life.
Jiang Yan stepped on the solid and uneven mine tunnels and walked very fast. The quiet and cold environment was in line with the characteristics of most abandoned underground strongholds, but without weird and strange life, this place would just be too quiet.
A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Yan suddenly stopped without wrinkles. He raised his head and looked at the stone wall in front of him. There was still a vague scratch on it, which was the word "nine".
The word itself has no meaning, it is just a mark left by Jiang Yan who had just traveled here and was afraid of getting lost in the complicated maze-like mine tunnels.
"Nine...I woke up in the eighth mine tunnel." Thinking like this, Jiang Yan turned left and walked hundreds of steps to another mine tunnel entrance. As expected, there was a blur on the cave wall here. The "eight" character is engraved.
In Jiang Yan's memory, this abandoned mine road was a dead end. After stepping into the No. 8 mine and walking a few hundred steps, Jiang Yan stopped and stared at the environment that seemed to be unchanged for a hundred or even a thousand years. He A complicated look suddenly appeared on his face.
"This is it."
Jiang Yan took out more than a dozen Juming Talismans, activated them and slapped them directly on the stone wall. With the help of the bright environment, Jiang Yan began to carefully explore the differences in every place here, trying to find out some secrets.
Half an hour later, Jiang Yan finally gave up exploring. The place was so big. He carefully explored it several times but found nothing.
"Is it because my level is not high enough? There are some deeper things here that I can't 'see' for the time being?"
Thinking like this, Jiang Yan made up his mind to do it again when he reaches a higher level in the future.
…
Leaving the mining stronghold, Jiang Yan had a wry smile on his lips.
There are two most important things for him to do when he returns to Guihua City this time. The first is to take Lu Lu back to Yehuai City, and the second is to explore the mining stronghold.
Now it seems that whatever he wants to do will not have a very ideal result. The exploration of the mining area has yielded nothing, and Lu Lu is unwilling to leave Guihua City...
"Destiny really doesn't work according to my wishes." When he came to the Talisman Road, Jiang Yan speeded up and headed towards Guihua City.
Halfway through, the wind picked up and became stronger and stronger. Countless leaves and weeds were picked up by the wind and floated recklessly.
A dark green leaf also floated up and towards Jiang Yan. Jiang Yan kept walking and did not dodge. He directly hit the leaf.
At this moment, the dark green leaves stuck to Jiang Yan's body and suddenly expanded into countless dark green filaments. They spread rapidly like vines and wrapped around Jiang Yan's thighs and arms, holding him firmly in place.
Whoosh whoosh!
The leaves and weeds flying everywhere seemed to have a will of their own for an instant. They turned around and shot at Jiang Yan like sharp arrows.
Even the soil under Jiang Yan's feet began to squirm and soften, and it seemed to have become a small swamp that swallowed people's lives.
At this moment, Jiang Yan seemed to have become a natural enemy, and everything around him wanted to kill him.
"What ability is this?"
"Manipulate various natural objects in the wilderness on a small scale?"
When the crisis comes, Jiang Yan still has time to think.
Poof!
The sharp arrows made of leaves and weeds struck first. They penetrated the spherical object wrapped in green vines, but not a trace of blood was spilled.
Jiang Yan's body appeared three feet away from the side.
Faced with all this, he just raised his hand, and in his palm, a gray-white flame quietly emerged.
