Fast Travel: The Mountains and the Seas Are Allies

Chapter 103 People in Jianghu (23)

"Okay." After the fourth master agreed, he turned around and nodded to Shen Ruqing and the others, bowed his head and said in a low voice: "Don't separate, be careful." He walked out beside Du Ruo.

A group of people used lightness kung fu to catch up on the journey for less than half an hour before they could vaguely see a little water.

The area of ​​the 'Lotus Pond' is indeed not small, it can be regarded as a big lake, but it is much simpler than Du Ruo thought. It is in an ordinary valley, surrounded by some ordinary trees, except for some winter trees. Apart from the bleakness, it was not any different from the usual time.

ah!There are still differences!There is a patch of lotus growing in the center of the lake, and many of the branches are still in buds in this winter!

As for the so-called ceremony, Du Ruo didn't see any red silk, runes, or some sacrificial pigs and sheep.

"Patriarch, everything is ready."

Du Ruo pursed her lips, and was taken aback when she looked at the old man with white hair and wrinkles all over her hands hanging down. In fact, such an appearance was quite normal for an old man, but this northern Sichuan seemed to be favored by heaven and earth. Most of what she saw was white. An old man with a childlike face, suddenly appeared a normal one, but it seemed extraordinarily strange.

"Eldest sister! Why are you messing around with the patriarch! What do you mean the child was stolen? What is this? How sacred is this holy lotus and holy pool, where can these outsiders see it? You are not afraid of offending Fengshen! "

Du Ruo is not a good-tempered person. The first time is to respect the elders, but anyone can do the same thing: "I don't know much about the wind god that the nobles believe in, but compared to others, shouting at the holy place Isn’t Xiao Ming considered disrespectful to Fengshen? Besides, according to the rules of the Jianghu, your repeated confrontation and questioning should be completely in line with the following crimes! But the patriarch and the big Grandma, your temper is so good that even an outsider like me is surprised!"

"You! You are so cruel! Don't even think about talking nonsense to create discord! I have always respected the clan leader the most, but now I am just trying my best to remonstrate with you! Someone from outside..."

"Sixth."

The patriarch didn't speak, the eldest grandma just looked up at the sixth grandma, and called her, and the sixth grandma shut her mouth in a loud voice.

"Let's start." The patriarch stepped forward, took out a silver knife carved with water lotus patterns, and swiped at his wrist, and the bright red blood dripped into the water.

Du Ruo clenched her fists tightly, wondering if it was her illusion that the color of the blood seemed to have a green light?
"Son, come here,"

Du Ruo took a look at Fourth Master Mao before walking to the lake.

When he got close, Du Ruo saw that the water in the lake was so clear. The lake was not shallow, but it was so clear that even the sand, gravel and dead leaves at the bottom of the lake could be clearly seen.

And the patriarch was obviously pouring blood into the pool, but the moment the bright red color fell into the lake, it didn't even have time to spread, and all the colors faded away.

'···This unscientific! '

"Child, stretch out your hand." After thinking for a while, the patriarch smiled again: "It won't hurt, I will be careful."

Looking at that unnatural smile, Du Ruo suddenly felt like wanting to get close to her for some reason?Maybe that smile was really pulled out with great effort?Even if it makes people feel a bit tangled, as long as her heart is good, she is willing to return warmth.

Du Ruo stretched out her wrist, and it turned out to be a very shallow cut. A drop of blood flowed across her slender wrist and fell into the water.

'Could it be this water? Before Du Ruo could figure it out, he heard someone growl behind him in disbelief: "It's open?! How is it possible!"

Du Ruo immediately went to look at the center of the lake. Seven or eight of the dozens of lotus flowers that were still budding just now had already bloomed. This kind of out-of-season flowering has not stopped yet!Under Du Ruo's watchful eyes, the lotus flowers that were still budding didn't feel shy at all, they bloomed one after another, showing off their soft and beautiful figure in front of everyone, enjoying the praise and amazement of everyone.

Du Ruo even felt that he smelled a strong fragrance of lotus, and even that smell became stronger and stronger.

What a joke!Although northern Sichuan is a relatively warm place in winter, it is still a valley and can be warmer, but it is not a greenhouse. How can lotus flowers bloom in the winter? !
"Chuan Jinzhu."

"Chuan Yinzhu."

Du Ruo looked at the two who suddenly bowed down and bowed down, and was a little stunned. It was not until he heard the voice of the patriarch that he called back his mind that was still in the scene of 'flowers blooming'.

"Chuan Yu." The patriarch folded his arms in front of his chest, leaned over and saluted, "I have seen the saint."

"I have seen the saint!"

"..." Wait, aren't you the next patriarch?What is a saint?Moreover, I never heard that the patriarch would salute the successor patriarch!

"Grandma, I'm sorry to trouble you."

The grandma couldn't hide the smile on her face, and her serious and rigid expression finally softened a lot: "The arrival of the saint is a blessing to northern Sichuan, and a blessing to us." After saying this, she took off her steps and walked back and forth quickly. Go on the road in time.

What is this for?Report it?What do you want to do to me? !

"No," Du Ruo quickly moved away from the river, the patriarch, and the eldest grandma, jumped up and landed directly next to Fourth Master Mao, and even took a half step back, embracing Fourth Master Mao's arm even tighter, not letting go: " What is a saint? What is going on here?"

"Stop!" Sixth Granny stepped forward with a straight face, and was about to tear open the arms between Du Ruo and Fourth Master: "How noble and pure a saint is, how can she flirt with a foreigner!"

"What do you call a foreigner! This is my fiancé!" Du Ruo also knew the rules of this era, even though he said so, he still let go of Fourth Master Mao's arm.

She was just a little startled just now, so she wanted to find a safe place to lean on.

"Don't lie! The Saint of Northern Sichuan will not marry outsiders! Since you are the Saint of Northern Sichuan, you should only marry good men from Northern Sichuan!"

"What?!" Du Ruo hugged Mao Siye's arm again in an instant, and she wouldn't let go of anyone who came at this moment: "In this case, let's go forever, see you by fate!" , Du Ruo pulled Fourth Master Mao and turned around to leave.

What a joke, finally someone can accompany her through the two worlds!She cherishes it so much!How can it be possible to let go!

"Nonsense! As a saint, you dare to give up your responsibility as a saint! Abandon your people! How can you be worthy of Chuanbei, who gave birth to you and raised you like this! How can you face your ancestors after you die!"

"Oh!" I am so angry!Du Ruo sneered and turned around: "Who gave birth to me? I can't be sure yet, but I can be sure that it was never you Chuanbei who raised me! What am I sorry for? What does this have to do with me!"
