Du Ruo couldn't tell what kind of gaze Qing Cang had, which made Du Ruo feel uneasy.In the following days, Du Ruo has been working hard to control himself, so that the uncontrollable situation will not happen again, but the strange thing is... As time goes by, the feeling of thirst becomes stronger.

Sometimes, I would wake up from my sleep in the middle of the night and pour water hard to block my throat in order to resist the desire to reach out to my roommate.

Obviously, I will keep drinking water and eating whenever I have time, but I can't suppress the thirst. Is it a bad disease?Or... the medicine for relief is wrong, what he wants to drink... is something else?

Thanks to Du Ruo's efforts to suppress it, everything went smoothly along the way, and there were no additional accidents.

……

Two months passed in a flash, and the distance to the destination was getting closer and closer.

The route was arranged by Qingcang, which was arranged by coincidence, and it avoided the larger towns controlled by the immortal family. There was no chance to buy new magic weapons at all, so they could only walk with the sword along the way.

During this period, due to Du Ruo's body, he was always walking and stopping, so he needed to have time to rest every day.

Luo Jin also tried to let him use the weak spiritual power in his body, at least he could stand on the sword by himself, but after these two months, there was no result at all.

The closer to the border, the rarer the population, and the more rampant the monsters and beasts.

In the evening of this day, I stayed in a small town as usual, surrounded by mountains and forests on three sides, it was extremely desolate, and the only bustling street was the street leading directly to the city gate.

This small town was closed enough, the plain white clothes of Luo Jin and his party seemed too conspicuous compared to the coarse linen clothes of the residents in the city, and the three of them attracted the attention of passers-by as soon as they appeared in the city.

Maybe it's because the place is remote and communication is inconvenient, and the people here don't know that there are practitioners.

Not only were the curious gazes undisguised, but there was also no manners at all. They just stared, and from time to time, three or two gathered together to point and discuss.

Fortunately, these people were not allowed to see the scene of the three of them descending from the sky, otherwise they don't know what will happen.

With the best view from the sky, Qing Cang directly took Luo Jin and the two to the most lively and prosperous place in the city, and found the only inn in the small town.

……

Finally out of everyone's sight, Luo Jin stepped on the wooden floor of the inn after taking the lead to enter the door, kicking up a cloud of dust, which was a bit choking.

Speechlessly looking at the shopkeeper who was dozing on his stomach, he showed no expression on his face, and still yawned lazily.At this time, there was no need for Luo Jin to step out, the disciples naturally stepped forward, put a silver ingot on the counter, instantly drove away the drowsiness in the shopkeeper's mind, and immediately burst into a smile.

Sure enough, no matter where you go, money is omnipotent.

He readily asked the buddy to clean the best room, and then took the three of them upstairs to stay overnight.

This inn, whether it is decoration or parts, is very old, and the shopkeeper's so-called 'best room' is not much better.

The two rooms of Luo Jin and Qing Cang are closely adjacent to each other, that is, the relationship between the next door, and the second waiter waited until the three of them reached the door of the room before leaving.

"and many more!"

Called them before they separated to enter, the triangular small eyes made an inscrutable look, sniffed and said: "The three guests must not go out at night, because the small shop is an inn, and the outer door cannot be closed...so The door of the guest room must not go out. Otherwise, if something happens, don’t blame the little one for not reminding.”

"Oh? I don't know why you can't go out."

He has always played the image of a high-cold master outside, so Luo Jin didn't need to ask about things, and Qing Cang immediately asked tacitly.

It has always been like this, and Luo Jin doesn't think there is anything wrong with it. "Confidant beloved apprentice" and "personal disciple" must have the ability to handle affairs, and Luo Jin has only three apprentices in total, only Qing Cang One is reliable, so he is extraordinarily skilled at doing this.

But this posture, this habit, in the eyes of another person present, it is not the same.

Du Ruo is very envious of Luo Jin's trust in entrusting everything to Qing Cang. Even knowing that they are a legitimate master-student relationship, she can't restrain her envy, and...a little bit of jealousy.

Although he didn't know what punishment he was going to receive, Du Ruo already had an 'excessive' expectation in his heart, and he just waited for him to find the right time to speak to Luo Jin.

As he got closer to the rumored extreme north, the surrounding area became more desolate and colder. Knowing that the master and apprentice who 'escorted' him here would not stay there to accompany him, Du Ruo couldn't help but be patient.

"Ah, this matter... I shouldn't have said it."

Xiao Er babbled and babbled, with a look of hesitation, Qing Cang handed over the broken silver taels very understandingly.The man immediately stretched out his hand to accept it, his small eyes gleamed brightly: "Hey, after all, it's not because this place is close to that place..."

"that place?"

"Yes, so at night, there will be many monsters, killing people. Our small town was very rich a long time ago, until that place suddenly appeared, and the number of evil spirits here increased."

"Guest officer, take a look at the furnishings in our inn. Everything has been opened and blessed by the gods. Now the business of the inn is sluggish, coupled with the chaos caused by monsters, no one dares to come, and everyone who comes will die We are on the way, and now we are the only inn left in the whole city."

Xiaoer shook his head and sighed while talking, and kept rubbing the silver he just received with his hands.

"In short, just don't go out at night, and leave at dawn tomorrow, so that you can go to the next city safely."

"I don't know... where is the 'that place' you are talking about?" Luo Jin asked after stopping Xiaoer from leaving.

"This... I don't know the small ones. Some people say that there is an elixir that can cure all poisons, and some people say that there are monsters that can't be cured...Guest officer, don't ask, anyway, it is a place that no one has been to. , To be honest, just following the road from the city to the outside may not necessarily lead to the next city, let alone go to the mountains.”

Waving his hand, obviously not wanting to say more, Xiao Er nodded, bowed and left as if fleeing.

"Master, I think the situation here is different, why not tomorrow..."

"Tomorrow will be business as usual, and the task is not the time to meddle in your own business."

Although he also cared about the reasons for the changes in this small town, he did not hesitate to interrupt Qing Cang's proposal. It is unknown how much time this delay in investigation will take.

Things are divided into big and small, so there is a priority, and the destination cannot be changed halfway.

"Yes, it's the disciple who was abrupt..." He couldn't hide his disappointment, sighed lightly, and Qing Cang returned to his room with a slight bow.

It is indeed the responsibility of the Tianyuan faction to eliminate demons, defend the Tao, and protect the common people, but they must prioritize and complete the tasks sent by Xu Yao Xianzun first, so that they can take care of others.

Maybe his decision disappointed Qing Cang, he frowned deeply, couldn't help but sighed, his arm was pulled by the person beside him, and a soft voice sounded: "Master Immortal, rest early."

"kindness."

……

The wooden furniture had been damaged and worn out. After Luo Jin entered, she found that the guest room was indeed protected by a layer of spells as the store clerk said.It's just that this level of magic is quite weak, it can only suppress some lonely ghosts with no morals, and it's useless to have any real monsters and beasts.

"...Otherwise, you can come to bed and rest today, it's been so long, we..."

"No need, just take a good rest, and you have to hurry tomorrow."

Withdrawing his gaze from looking around, he looked at Du Ruo's position.At the end of the day, the exhaustion on Du Ruo's face couldn't be concealed. The time spent on the road was very long and exhausting. Of course, Du Ruo, whose cultivation base is too low, couldn't bear it. Seeing him still staring at her, Luo Jin smiled and added : "Go to bed earlier."

Dazed by Luo Jin's smile for a moment, Du Rou was distracted before remembering what she had been thinking about for the past few days.

"Wait a moment……"

Gathering up his courage, before Luo Jin sat cross-legged and closed his eyes, he regained his sight again, took a deep breath and prepared, and said, "I... because I lost my memory, I don't know what mistakes I made, and it took so much trouble. to go to the far north to receive the punishment."

"Although I am a little overwhelmed, but... When I get there, if, if it is possible, I will definitely study in the way you taught me a few days ago."

"After I go back, I may still be able to retain my qualifications as an outer disciple. So...at that time...if I have enough strength, can I become a disciple of the immortal master?"

After finishing speaking nervously, Luo Jin frowned deeply. He was surprised by Du Ruo's speech, but he had to think about how to refuse it.

After getting along for two months, Luo Jin had a clear understanding of Du Ruo. The main reason for his refusal was because...after being sent to the extreme north, it was impossible for him to come back.

It will never be possible.

Therefore, it was very difficult for Luo Jin to agree to his illusory request. No matter if Du Ruonu didn't work hard, there would be no result.

"If, if my crime is true... what I committed before is unforgivable, I'm sorry..."

After planning for a long time, I couldn't find a suitable reason to become a teacher. The more I was afraid of Luo Jin's rejection, the more flustered my words became.After all, the status and status are clearly placed there, Du Ruo is just an outer disciple who made mistakes, and it doesn't help if he is unwilling.

"Because I don't understand everything, so I can't give you a definite answer..."

"Ahhhh!"

In the middle of speaking, she was interrupted by a mournful scream from the corridor, Luo Jin poked out her spiritual sense, and immediately felt a strong devilish energy around the inn.

Sure enough, have you reached the territory of the demons?So unscrupulous.

"Wait for me to come back." Because of that shout, Luo Jin stood up almost immediately and walked out, but was suddenly pulled back by Du Ruo behind her.

"You said, I can't leave your side, you can't leave me."

The unnaturalness just now disappeared in an instant, and Du Ruo appeared next to him in an instant, and immediately defended himself before he could speak.

Luo Jin did say this, but he wanted to set up another magic circle to protect Du Ruo who was staying here, but met his clear eyes.

There seemed to be a little bit of starlight in her eyes, and she couldn't say the words of refusal again, Luo Jin could only nod her head, grabbed Du Ruo with one hand, and pushed open the door with the other.
