Bevan Mountain

At the end of spring and early summer, the vines flutter, the flowers fall, the grass is deep, and it is advisable to meet each other through the forest and through the willows.How envious of idlers admiring the moon, painting orchids, and playing the organ, but I don't look at the dust and dust of my own spring.

When the two arrived in Xinyue Town, they entered Luofu Mountain without entering the house at the foot of the mountain.

Moss grew on the wooden roof in the mountains, the yard was full of weeds, and a thick layer of dust had fallen on the window sills.

You'er stood outside the courtyard, looking at the deserted small courtyard, thinking that the master and apprentice were still happy and happy here in the old days, and couldn't help crying again.

The door was ajar, Jiang Wuyue pushed half of it open: "You don't lock the door?"

"There's no one here, so there's no need for a lock."

You'er wiped away his tears, and just as he was about to step in, Jiang Wuyuecang's expression changed: "Someone has been here. Look at the footprints on the ground."

A few criss-crossed footprints were clearly printed on the dusty ground at the door.

You'er was also surprised: "Could it be brother? Apart from us, he is the only one who knows."

"It really looks like a man's shoe print..." Jiang Wuyue squatted down and looked at it, "But didn't you say that he was seriously injured and fell down the mountain? He couldn't have arrived before us, right?"

"Maybe... he came here before..."

"Well, let's go and have a look first."

Jiang Wuyue pushed open the door, the room was in a mess, boxes were overturned, books and papers were scattered all over the place.The two of them were already prepared at the door, and You'er became even more angry when he saw this scene, he suppressed his anger and waited for Jiang Wuyue to finish his investigation, and after confirming that no one was there, he revealed his anger and said: "I cleaned up well before. Yes! Did Han Mengao bring a group of rat spirits here! Make such a mess!"

"Maybe it's not him..." Jiang Wuyue picked up a book on the ground, "Speaking of which, why haven't I seen Su Jiu?"

You'er said: "I haven't seen her since I came back from Xuanming Mountain."

Jiang Wuyue thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Since she can change her shape without being seen, it's hard to guarantee who she will change into. If she meets you, you won't know it's her."

It makes sense for You Er to smack her, and after a little thought, he suddenly warned Jiang Wuyue: "Who are you?"

Jiang Wuyue also looked back with a serious face: "I think you are more similar."

You'er saw her unsmiling, as if she was serious, suddenly felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end, and complained: "If you say anything else, I will believe it!"

"Believe what?"

"Trust me I'm a little fox!"

Jiang Wuyue couldn't help but laugh: "Then I admit it too."

You'er saw that she was making fun of him again, and pushed her away with one hand: "Hurry up and find clues! They were all found by others!"

The two found Sunset in the afternoon and turned over several rooms, but found nothing.

You'er was tired and slumped on the chair, suddenly thinking: "Could it be that you painted me when you were a child?"

Jiang Wuyue felt certain all over her body: "No..."

"What if there's something you haven't seen..."

"Without this just in case..." Jiang Wuyue changed the subject very firmly, "Did your master leave anything alone for you?"

"Separately? A "Ledger"... But I've read it all, and you've seen it before. There are some alchemist spells on it."

Jiang Wuyue put down the things in her hand, walked over and asked her: "Where is the "Ledger"?"

"I put it in Baoju."

When we returned to Jinbaoju, it was already full of moonlight.You'er opened the courtyard door and walked in first, but Jiang Wuyue suddenly stopped and turned her head to look at the dark alley nearby.

"What's wrong?" You'er walked out the door.

Jiang Wuyue listened carefully for a while, then shook her head and said, "I was wrong."

The "Ledger" was wrapped tightly with a few pieces of oiled paper and twine, and it was placed in a box with a secret symbol. You'er took it out, flipped through it at will, and handed it to Jiang Wuyue.

Jiang Wuyue read the pages one by one, and when the last page was finished, You'er pursed her lips and said, "Here, no."

"Did your master say anything when he gave you this book?"

You'er didn't even think about it, thinking that these oily papers reminded him all the time: "Master specifically told me not to get wet."

"What happens if you get wet?"

"It's not like the last one..." You'er spread his hands, "Didn't you also see it in Jiuning Mountain?"

"Then he also told you when he gave you the last book?"

"That's not true, just tell me to practice hard—what do you mean?"

"Try it wet."

You'er squinted at Jiang Wuyue, and wanted to argue a few words, but Jiang Wuyue said again: "Aren't you good at it?"

"This is my master's relic!"

Jiang Wuyue nodded: "That's right—how about trying a page first."

You'er took a basin of water to stand in the courtyard, picked up a page, and slowly put it into the water, the ink stains quickly became blurred.

Jiang Wuyue straightened up, took half a step back, and said to herself: "Maybe it's not this way..."

The air was cut open, and a stone flew from outside the house, and hit You'er on the back of the hand carrying the book.

The speed was so fast that neither of them had time to react, as if they were not thrown from someone's hand, but shot out halfway through the air.

You'er let go of the pain, and the ledger fell into the basin.

You'er glared at where the stone came from, furiously: "Han Mengao!"

"Han Mengao" leaned back, exerted force on his heels, and disappeared at the door.

Jiang Wuyue tiptoed over the wall to chase.After chasing for a long time, he came back panting slightly, held the door open and said, "He's too fast, I can't catch up, he doesn't look like a wounded person."

You'er turned around with a shocked face, looked at Jiang Wuyue, "I saw..."

"What did you see?" Jiang Wuyue hurriedly stepped into the courtyard, then looked down at the water basin, "Where are the books?"

"It melted..." You'er was still in a daze, "It melted into a light smoke, showed a picture, and then... disappeared..."

Jiang Wuyue excitedly said: "What picture? Have you written it down?"

"Remember...it's Luofu Mountain..."

The moon was blocked by dark clouds, Luofu Mountain was almost dark, and a few hoarse crows called, making people panic.

The two of them tossed back and forth throughout the night, and came to the lake in the mountain, and there was the lonely black-covered boat by the lake.

You'er walked along the lake for a while, and stopped when he was near the boat, looking at the quiet lake: "This should be the place."

Jiang Wuyue then frowned: "At the bottom of the lake?"

"Um……"

"When I first came here, I felt that this lake was somewhat similar to Xiyue Lake except that it was smaller. I asked you, and you said that you have been to the bottom of the lake, and there is nothing special about it."

"It's really nothing special, it's nothing more than fish, shrimp, aquatic plants..." You'er changed his voice, "It's just that there is a hint on the picture..."

"what?"

"Burning the lake..."

"How to burn?"

You'er dragged the boat ashore, startled the red heron flying in the lake, sat down cross-legged, pinched the talisman, and cast a spell.

Then throw the talisman onto the lake, the moment the talisman paper touches the water surface, circles of ripples and fire spread towards the entire lake.

Not long after, the entire lake burned like a prairie fire.The end of the flame was red and purple, and the lake was scorching hot, and the flames soared into the sky.The two were quite roasted, and they took a few steps back unconsciously.

Jiang Wuyue said: "And then?"

You'er looked at her silently for a while, then said softly, "Jump down..."

"Fire escape?"

You'er nodded.

Jiang Wuyue looked distressed: "I won't..."

"I know you won't..." You'er finally seized the opportunity and said triumphantly, "I'll take you in."

Jiang Wuyue saw that although the fire was not that big, she felt scorching hot even a few feet away, so she hesitated and said, "Or... just forget it, don't look at it. Anyway, the investigation is almost done. ..."

"Isn't there another person who reported the letter that hasn't been found? We've come to this point..." You'er raised his eyebrows slightly, "Do you think I can't escape? I'm very powerful now! Maybe I'm even worse than you sharp!"

"I have taught you all the songs of Zhenling, you are better than me..."

While talking here, a figure fell to the ground on the other side of the lake.There was a muffled sound, as if the five internal organs were about to be smashed.

Jiang Wuyue's expression froze, she hurriedly left a sentence "I'll go and see", and flew away on the grass.

You'er stomped his feet and said anxiously: "It really hasn't changed at all!" He raised his foot and was about to chase, when he saw a white shadow on the other side of the lake from the corner of his vision, jumping towards the lake.

You'er hurriedly looked up, the white figure had plunged into the fire, the flame flickered a few times, and then fell silent.

You'er didn't care about left and right, for fear that if Guiyue was hidden at the bottom of the lake, it would be taken away first.

Looking at Jiang Wuyue, it was full of wind and dense forests, and he couldn't see anything.He also thought how she could hold on for a while with the Xunmu sword on her body, so without any hesitation, she made her handprints, turned around and fell into the fire.
