Husband is a piece of cloud cake

There is someone under the tree! ?

Lu Jing was taken aback.There is a secret guard "Crow" in Liuyun County, who is good at hiding and assassinating. He once caused the imperial army to suffer a lot, and was wiped out in the battle of Liuyun City.But in today's water mirror, none of them were damaged.Lu Jing had carefully avoided them since entering Shui Jing.Could it be that there are crows staring at him all the time when he visits the Hou's mansion tonight?

Without saying a word, Lu Jing drew his sword and slashed at the sole of his foot.To his surprise, the pair of "hands" were cut off by the sword, and turned out to be just a vine.

Green firefly?

Lu Jing picked up the broken vine and examined it carefully. It was really the kind of vine that grew all over the willow trees in the water mirror world.This kind of tree vine blooms white flowers and bears vermilion fruits. From a distance, it looks like a floating willow branch. Lu Jing has never found anything unusual about it. Why is it suddenly like a hand that can catch people?

Just as he was thinking, several green shadows suddenly came up, down, left, and right, wrapping him around tightly, and it was green firefly grass again.That posture was like a spider's silk catching insects, as if he was going to tie him firmly to a tree before giving up.

"!!!"

Lu Jing was shocked.He has never seen such a thing called a tree demon in the real world, and he has never heard anyone say that he should pay attention to and stay away from any plants when he comes to the water mirror.Why was it suddenly captured by this kind of weed that can be seen everywhere tonight?

Although surprised but without hesitation, Lu Jing cut off the green firefly grass that bound him with a few swipes, and left quietly with a piece of green firefly grass before the crows of the Hou's mansion noticed.So at dawn, someone knocked on the door of the Sand Sculpture Restaurant, and the shop welcomed its first customer.

"Brother Sha, I want to buy news!"

"Master Lu?"

Boss Sha took a look at the people in the future, pinched Xiao Diao's stinky mouth that was always ready to sneer, let Lu Jing in, and closed the door again: "Please, Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu came so early in the morning to inquire about What is the urgent news?"

Lu Jing threw half of the wisteria on the table and spoke bluntly.

"That's what I want to inquire about. What the hell is it?"

Slapped on the table with the broken vine is a silver ingot, the fineness and weight of which are in line with the price of sand sculpture wine shops to inquire about the most secret information.

Boss Sha smiled, sniffled and asked.

"Mr. Lu went to the Hou Mansion last night?"

"I……"

Lu Jing was at a loss for words for a while, but then he thought about asking people for news, and there was nothing wrong with being frank, so he spoke bluntly.

"Yes."

"Oh, oh." Boss Sha stroked his chin, but didn't ask Lu Jing what he was doing, but said, "Then what strange things happened in the Hou Mansion?"

"I was entangled by this thing outside the Hou Mansion."

Lu Jing recounted the story of Ye Lai being caught by Qingyingcao, pointing to the half-cut vine with a tense face: "But I have traveled under the willow tree many times, and I have never encountered such a situation with this vine—Brother Sha , is this kind of thing like this at night? Or is it only the green firefly grass in the Hou Mansion that does this?"

If it is the green firefly grass in Hou's mansion that can act as a demon at night, then there will be a big problem.Ziyang often goes outdoors to watch stars at night.

Fortunately, Boss Sha dispelled his doubts. He smiled and said, "Master Lu, the green fireflies growing near the Hou Mansion are just like other places. They are just ordinary plants. I have never heard of any abnormalities."

Lu Jing breathed a sigh of relief, but then became even more confused: "Then why did it move suddenly last night? Could it be that someone is manipulating it behind the scenes?"

"I've never heard of manipulation." Boss Sha said slowly, "But Mr. Lu said that he was arrested by Qingyingcao, which reminds me of an old incident a few years ago, related to Layman Baihe."

"Layman Baihe? Who is he?" Lu Jing was stunned.

Boss Sha smiled: "It wasn't him, it was them. They were a group of monks who claimed to be envoys. They suddenly appeared in Liuyun County 12 years ago, claiming that they came to Liuyun County to find the relics of the gods."

"The monk who went to Liuyun County to find the remains of the gods 12 years ago? What does this have to do with Qingyingcao?"

"Yes. There were 20 Baihe Laymen who came here, but they disappeared suddenly. We only saw [-] corpses that had been turned into bones, wearing their white crane cloaks and tied to trees by green fireflies."

"..."

This is really a creepy picture: withered white feathers, ossified corpses, and usually looking harmless vines tied to corpses.Lu Jing vaguely guessed what Boss Sha meant, and asked in a deep voice.

"Those laymen Baihe were killed by Qingyingcao?"

"I'm afraid so." Boss Sha did not deny: "The vines are deeply entangled in the bones, and the postures of those bones are twisted and struggling. It is obvious that those people were still alive when they were trapped. And the few tufts of grass that entangled them disappeared as soon as night fell. Yicai, it appears to be more vigorous than other vines, as if it has been full."

"A full meal?" Lu Jing raised his head suddenly: "Brother Sha, you mean, those eighteen white bones were eaten by the green firefly grass? The green firefly grass not only killed them but also absorbed their flesh and blood. Wisteria, can you still eat people?"

What a ghost.He used to think that the water mirror is the mirror reflection of the world outside the mirror, and everything is similar to the world outside the mirror.Unexpectedly, in the world of Shui Jing, there are plants that can eat people.

Boss Sha shook his head again: "It's not that he can eat people, but he can only eat people like Layman Baihe. Mr. Lu, those Layman Baihe, just like you, suddenly appeared in Liuyun County. If I'm not wrong, they and Lu You, son, should be from the same village."

"My fellow countrymen?" Lu Jing's heart skipped a beat, "You mean that group of Baihe Laymen also came from outside?"

"Master Lu knows it well."

Boss Sha didn't answer directly, but Boss Sha smiled meaningfully: "Those Laymen Baihe have no friends or relatives here, so no one will pursue them any further. In the end, it was the old Marquis who ordered the bones to be taken down from the tree and buried. That's all. Twelve years have passed, and I have never heard of any more incidents of Qingyingcao hurting people. Until today, Mr. Lu, you came to my shop and told me that you were also entangled by Qingyingcao. The strange past related to grass."

He reached out to put away the silver, and the news was considered sold out.Lu Jing picked up the overnight cold tea on the table and poured himself a bowl, took a gulp, and then said in a hoarse voice.

"I understand. Brother Sha, when those Baihe laymen came to Liuyun County, did they bring any tokens?"

The entrance and exit of Jianmu connecting the water mirror and the real world have always been under the guard of Shangxiao Peak.It is not easy to pass through the water mirror. Although Lu Jing entered privately this time, he also carried the token of the teacher's school, so he got the help of Boss Sha. Boss Sha is also one of the few people in the mirror who knows the existence of Shangxiao Peak outside the mirror.If those white crane laymen had the tokens of Shangxiao Peak, they would be a group of brothers who unfortunately died in the mirror.But in the history of Shangxiao Peak, obviously not so many disciples entered the water mirror at the same time.

"No." Boss Sha shook his head in the face of his question: "You are the only one who found me with tokens all these years. Those laymen Baihe probably came in secretly, and they were entangled to death by the green firefly grass in the end. It's hard to say that it wasn't because of sneaking in. But since Qingyingcao has attacked you, you are no longer safe here—Mr. Lu, you came to Liuyun County to collect medicine, but now that you have obtained the inner pill of cultivating snakes, you will Let's go quickly. The outside and the inside are different after all."

Lu Jing gathered incense last night and obtained pills, and Boss Sha knew about it this morning.He is really powerful, and this advice comes from the heart, but Lu Jing also has his difficulties——

One inner alchemy may not be enough.

Besides, there is Zi Yang...

Thinking of Zi Yang made his heart tremble.Two years ago, he was the one who sent Zi Yang into Shui Jing. Two years later, when he saw Zi Yang who was alive, talking, laughing and angry, he couldn't move anymore, wishing he could stay in the world of Shui Jing , never leave.

He knew that this idea was dangerous, so he kept avoiding Zi Yang, so as not to let himself fall into an impossible entanglement.He told himself that as long as Ziyang could live peacefully in the water mirror, he would never disturb him, and would only look at him from a distance before quietly leaving.But Ziyang is haggard and depressed now, how can he rest assured if he wants to leave?

Lu Jing had a hesitant look on his face. Boss Sha had already seen it, so he could only sigh.

"Mr. Lu, everything here is false to you. You are still young, so don't let yourself be defeated by falsehood."

Boss Sha shook his head and sighed, Lu Jing stood up and saluted him deeply.

"I appreciate Brother Sha's kindness. Thank you Brother Sha for telling me this secret. I will be more careful in the future."

He thanked Boss Sha and prepared to leave.The little eagle on Boss Sha's shoulder suddenly flapped its wings.

"Wait, someone is coming outside."

Xiao Diao's golden pupils were wide open, but he continued talking with his head.

"It's from the Hou Mansion."
