The voice of the people gradually became louder, and a group of people in green clothes came out from the reeds.

Yuan Qinghang and Ning Duo huddled in the crevice of the reef and looked at each other quietly.

It turned out to be Mu Jiarong, leading seven or eight disciples, holding a strangely shaped bamboo tube in his hand, looking down for something.

Suddenly, the reeds moved, and a black thing that was as fast as lightning jumped up from under the feet of everyone. Mu Jiarong was quick with his hands and eyes, and snapped the bamboo tube to put the thing inside.

The few disciples beside him cheered loudly, their faces were filled with joy, and it looked as if they had caught something rare.

Yuan Qinghang squinted his eyes, saw the thing clearly, and whispered to Ning Duo's ear: "Tantai's family raises a kind of snake, which is a special product in this area. It is most effective in treating the disorder of the meridians after being used as medicine."

Ning Duo remained motionless, his ears flushed, and he looked at him patiently.

Over there, Mu Jiarong led the crowd and rummaged around in the reeds. Sure enough, he caught a few more in a short while.

He straightened up and said, "Okay, I've caught ten enough, let's go back."

A little disciple beside him quietly looked around: "Master Shaogu, although we have agreed on ten items with Miss Tantai, but there is no number, and no one will know if we catch a few more..."

Mu Jiarong's Xiuzhi face darkened, and he glanced at him lightly: "You mean, if no one is watching, you can break your promise?"

Although he was young, but speaking in such a calm manner, he also had a bit of majesty as the head of the family. The disciple shrank his head and dared not speak again.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the lush reeds nearby, and a tall figure in white jumped out with a stride: "Hey!..."

Seeing everyone, he was stunned: "Hey, Jiarong! Why are you?"

Mu Jiarong was also taken aback: "I'm here to find medicinal materials, you?..."

Shang Lang scratched his head, for some reason, his face seemed a little reddish, he looked left and right, and said: "I heard from Tantai's servant that the scenery here is beautiful, so I came here casually."

Mu Jiarong waved to the people around him: "Go back first."

A group of disciples from Shennonggu retreated quickly, and Mu Jiarong and Shang Lang stood opposite each other, relatively speechless for a while.

Shang Lang looked at the green bamboo tube in his hand, a little curious: "What medicinal materials did you find?"

Mu Jiarong carefully lifted the corner of the seal on the bamboo tube in his hand, and handed it to him.

Shang Lang squinted his eyes and looked inside, suddenly jumped three feet high: "Ahhh! The snakes... are all entangled!"

Mu Jiarong whispered: "It's still the same as when I was a child, afraid of everything, just a few little snakes."

Shang Lang took another big step back, and then stopped in shock: "I'm not afraid of financial wolves, tigers and leopards, but these things are so slippery and greasy, it's disgusting. Are you using this as medicine? Is there any in Shennonggu?"

Mu Jiarong sealed the bamboo tube and put it in his bosom: "Well, Tantai's family used to raise a kind of spirit insect here for driving. This kind of viper feeds on this spirit insect, and naturally likes reeds, so it's easy to get rid of it. The Tai family used to catch them on time and sell them to us in Shennong Valley."

Shang Lang suddenly realized: "Oh, since you are here as guests, you should grab some and go back by the way."

Mu Jiarong shook his head: "Not only that, Tantai Jialing mountain and wild lakes are rich in products, which used to be mainly driven by their own breeding, but now they are sparsely populated, so they don't need much. We have just entered into a contract with Shennong Valley, and some Sell ​​us things that can be used as medicine. On the one hand, we can continue to produce, so that the fairy mountain and Linghu Lake will not be barren; on the other hand, our Shennong Valley can also be purchased at a stable and low price. I asked the uncle for instructions, and the uncle said This matter is mutually beneficial, let me decide for myself.”

He usually talks a little childishly, but now when it comes to family affairs, he is very orderly and organized.

Shang Lang stared at him with surprise in his handsome brows: "Jiarong, you now..."

After a pause, he said sincerely, "Now I look like an adult."

Mu Jiarong glared at him, and snorted softly: "Really? I don't know who used to call me childish, arrogant and ignorant."

Shang Lang touched his nose in embarrassment, and smiled for a while: "I was wrong before."

Mu Jiarong lowered his head silently, raised his head after a long time, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly: "Brother Shang is also the head of a sect now, I used to wonder how you can take over the Sky Sect with your reckless and frank nature, no Will you bring all the juniors to burn Qianchongshan? Looking at it now, it seems to be quite decent."

The reeds were floating, and Shang Lang stood among the waist-length reeds, his expression dazed for a moment.

"Yeah, I'll get used to it." He grinned, his face vaguely showing the sunshine and cheerfulness of the past, "Jiarong, you too."

Mu Jiarong nodded, he turned his head to look at a lotus root and lotus leaf by the lake in the distance, and suddenly said: "There are a few lotus flowers blooming there."

Shang Lang looked over there: "Ah, really. It's a bit like the one in the colorful lotus pond in your back garden."

Mu Jiarong was out of his mind for a while, not knowing what he was thinking, and said: "In the past, there was always a flower that bloomed the most magnificent and beautiful in the center of my pond, but I am young and not good at magic, so I can't fly across it."

Shang Lang laughed loudly: "You begged me to help you pick one."

Mu Jiarong blushed slightly: "Where is it? I just watched helplessly, and you volunteered to help me pick it."

Shang Lang was surprised and said: "Huh, is that so? I can't even remember. Well, even if I took the initiative."

Mu Jiarong looked at the green lotus leaves by the lake, and said softly, "Brother Shang, can you help me pick another one, okay?"

Shang Lang responded readily: "Okay, you wait for me!"

His figure flickered, and he swept towards the lake.Feet hovered in the air, fluttering, and quickly approached the frontmost lotus of a different color on the water waves, then turned around and flew back on the waves.

Yuan Qinghang and Ning Duo hid behind the reef, and Mu Jiarong was diagonally opposite.

For some reason, Yuan Qinghang glanced at it, and seemed to have caught a glimpse of a slight watery glint in Mu Jiarong's eyes. When he looked carefully, the watery color had disappeared, leaving only a sad redness in the corner of his eyes.

Shang Lang held up the huge lotus flower and brought it to him with a smile: "This lotus flower is only red and yellow in color, which is far worse than the colorful lotus in your house."

Mu Jiarong took the lotus flower slowly and said, "...it's just as beautiful."

Shang Lang suddenly bent down and looked into his eyes strangely: "Why are your eyes red?"

Mu Jiarong raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, and said in a low voice, "It's windy by the lake, I lost my eyes just now."

He paused for a while, carefully put the lotus into the storage bag beside him, and then raised his head: "Brother Shang, I'm leaving this afternoon to go back to Shennong Valley."

Shang Lang was taken aback: "Really, why didn't I hear what Brother Hong said? He said he would stay for a few more days."

Mu Jiarong lowered his eyes: "Because you Sky Sect will stay for a few more days."

Seeing Shang Lang's slightly embarrassed face, he turned his head away, and suddenly said: "Brother Shang, when your Cangqiong Sect was in the most difficult period last year, the supplies and pills that our Mu family... aided were not my idea."

Shang Lang was startled, and looked at him in amazement: "What? It was obviously sent by Shennonggu."

Mu Jiarong said indifferently: "My brother meant it. He said that he owns half of the Mu family's property, and he will take out what belongs to him and give it to you."

Shang Lang murmured in a trance: "He...he didn't tell me."

Mu Jiarong nodded: "I also think that he won't say it. I thought about it, and I should let you know after all."

Shang Lang was stunned for a while, then said: "So that's how it is."

Mu Jiarong's eyes finally turned slightly red: "At that time, I resolutely refused to use all the resources of the Mu family to fill the bottomless pit of the Cangqiong Sect. Brother Shang... Do you blame me?"

Shang Lang stared at him and suddenly smiled.

He said softly: "If it were me, the patriarch of the family is newly mourned and people's hearts are fluctuating. I will never use the property of the family to save outsiders."

He raised his hand with a smile and rubbed Mu Jiarong's head: "We all have burdens to carry, and I, like you, know how heavy and difficult the burden is. Sometimes... I even think about everything. Throw it away and be a casual cultivator who doesn't care about anything."

Mu Jiarong finally said "wow" and cried.The crying was restrained, but the sobs kept choking, as if all the grievances and hesitation of the past two years had been vented completely in this cry.

Yuan Qinghang and Ning Duo hid quietly behind the reef, feeling a little vaguely sad in their hearts.

The little prince who was pampered and ignorant of the dangers in the world will finally grow up. The fate of the sect and the people cannot be abandoned, and he can only move forward.

Shang Lang waited for his sobs to finally stop, and then said with a smile: "If you need anything in the future, remember to come to me. Shennonggu and the Cangqiong faction will always be in the same spirit, advancing and retreating together."

Mu Jiarong smiled, turned around, walked towards the way he came from, and waved his hand behind him: "Got it, Master Shang!..."

Yuan Qinghang held hands with Ning Duo lightly, and for some reason, felt an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart.

"Why isn't this idiot leaving?" Yuan Qinghang looked at Shang Lang who was standing quietly by the lake, and muttered softly, "Plan to enjoy the lake alone?"

Ning Duo smiled wryly and said in a low voice: "Wait a little longer, I won't be here to watch the sunset."

The two squeezed into this narrow gap, their bodies were tightly pressed together, although they tried their best to pretend nothing happened, but they couldn't hide the throbbing in each other's bodies, and they both endured extremely hard.

But he didn't come out just now, and it's even worse if he suddenly appeared now, that would justify his status as an eavesdropper.

In desperation, suddenly the reeds on the other side moved, and a figure in black came out slowly.

Yuan Qinghang stared at the person coming, his eyes widened suddenly.

Yo, when did this guy come?Seeing his awkward appearance, if he just arrived, he wouldn't believe it even if he was killed!

Could it be that he came here earlier and watched him and Ning Duo hide with his own eyes?

Ning Duo seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and whispered in his ear, "Be behind us, otherwise he won't come out now."

Shang Lang's eyes lit up, and he hurried forward to meet him: "You are here! I made an appointment to visit the lake, why did you arrive only now?"

Holding the same green bamboo tube in his hand, Li Qinghong snorted: "Who made an appointment with you to swim in the lake, I'll catch the viper."

Shang Lang scratched his head: "Jiarong just came here, and he has already caught quite a few."

Li Qinghong was startled, his face darkened, he put away the bamboo tube: "Really? Forget it."

Yuan Qinghang bit Ning Duo's ear: "You're right, he probably hasn't heard about the wall for a long time, at least he didn't see Young Master Mu catching a snake."

Shang Lang enthusiastically said: "Jiarong said, you Shennonggu signed a contract with Miss Tantai and made a lot of deals. He is really capable now."

Li Qinghong's face turned darker, and he said calmly: "Yes, now my younger brother can settle accounts and manage affairs in the valley, and everyone in the valley respects him."

Shang Lang looked at him, and suddenly said: "Vipers are precious, and the price is extremely high. When you catch it, do you want to give it to Shennonggu, or continue to subsidize our Sky Sect?..."

Li Qinghong was stunned, and suddenly his face turned red, like a cat whose hair has exploded: "Who wants to subsidize your Cangqiong faction? I caught it myself and sold it for money, so why not give it to the people of the Mozong?"

He looked at Shang Lang's strange eyes, gritted his teeth, and said, "What are you looking at? Gu Yu has been driven to my place again now. Since I have taken her in again, I have to reciprocate. Send some medicinal materials to the Mozong, so what?"

Shang Lang smiled slightly: "Well, you want to give it to Protector Li."

Li Qinghong stomped his feet, turned around and ran into the reeds, but Shang Lang grabbed him behind him.

"I know all about it." He said in a low voice: "Jiarong told me that when the Cangqiong Sect was in trouble last year, the things sent by Shennonggu were all your own private property."

Li Qinghong's body froze, without turning his head, he gritted his teeth for a while and said: "What kind of private property, I didn't earn it. It was left by my father, if you want to thank, thank my father."

Shang Lang stood quietly behind him, slowly stretched out his arms, hesitated, and hugged him.

Li Qinghong trembled violently, as if he was completely pinned down by something, and remained motionless.

Shang Lang lowered his head, leaned against his stubborn and stiff neck, and said, "Master told me one thing before he died. If I never ask, are you like this and never say it?"

He gently touched Li Qinghong's back with his palm, and touched a bumpy scar, his voice was hoarse: "When you were pierced by a sword... It hurt, right?"

Li Qinghong's voice was also hoarse: "Let go, don't be mother-in-law... the pain has long since ceased."

However, Shang Lang suddenly increased his strength and hugged him fiercely: "No, I won't let go in this life!"

... Behind the reef, Yuan Qinghang took a deep breath, and Ning Duo suddenly shook his hand.

The two of them closed their eyes at the same time, and listened to the faint sound coming from a distance in horror. After a long time, they finally heard that there seemed to be no sound, and then slowly opened their eyes.

There was no one in the reeds, only a piece of reed that had been trampled to the ground remained.

I don't know where those two fools ran off after their clumsy making out.

Ning Duo was about to step out of the rocks, but Yuan Qinghang gave a "shh" and grabbed him hard.

He took out the brake disc and pressed it on the ground furtively. After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's really gone!"

Ning Duo watched his movements, and said slowly, "You're afraid of them..."

Yuan Qinghang jumped out from behind the reef and moved his sore shoulders: "What if we are in a reed, fell in love for a while, turned around and bumped into us again?! "

Ning Duo looked at him silently, with indescribably strange eyes, and said calmly for a long while: "How can anyone be like this? Even if you really love each other, you should always be polite and restrained."

Yuan Qinghang let out a "tow": "How is it possible, two people are in love, love and like each other, how can I bear it!"

Ning Duo took a step slowly, approached him, and pressed him against the dark rock behind him: "Isn't it true that you can hold back what you can hold back?..."

He was already taller than Yuan Qinghang, but usually he was cold and quiet, and he seemed to be clean, but now his face was flushed, his eyes were deep, and he was suddenly a little dangerous.

Yuan Qinghang was tongue-tied, and hastily stretched out his hand against his hot chest, hesitating and saying: "Ning Xiaoxianjun... Xiao Qijun, you can't think like this! If it weren't for the fact that it is especially important to maintain the blood of a boy during cultivation, Afraid of delaying your progress in reshaping the golden core, who would... woohoo!"

The lips were blocked heavily, with a scorching breath and unprecedented strong oppression.

After a while, the warm lips moved away slightly, and Ning Duo's hoarse voice whispered in his ear: "Now that the golden core is perfect, nothing can delay me."

Yuan Qinghang huffed and gasped for a long time, hung on his body, hugging his neck with both hands: "You...you have to think clearly, keeping a child's body is not only helpful for cultivation, but also purer for the sword..."

Before he finished speaking, his lips had been bitten again, which was heavy and painful, and Ning Duo actually bit hard on his lips.

"It's good to nourish the sword with blood essence, I heard it can also nourish the body." His cold face was flushed, and the hand pinching Yuan Qinghang's waist was hot.

Yuan Qinghang was already in a daze, but when he heard this sentence, it was as if a piece of fireworks suddenly exploded in front of his eyes, and his legs suddenly went limp.

Feeling that Ning Duo picked him up by the waist, as if he was about to walk into the reeds, he suddenly called out tremblingly: "Don't!..."

Ning Duo paused and stopped abruptly.The corners of his eyes were slightly red, and he panted lightly.

Yuan Qinghang covered his face, peeking at him through his fingers, humming softly and aggrieved: "Yes, there is a viper...in case it jumps out..."

Ning Duo stared at him intently, a pair of eyes as deep as a pool flickered with light.

He nodded: "Understood."

Holding Yuan Qinghang by the waist, he turned his head and strode towards the lake.

When he came to the shore, he hugged Yuan Qinghang with one hand, and Yinghui Sword with the other hand, and picked at the small old boat parked by the side.

The boat flew up into the air and landed on the water.

Yuan Qinghang only felt his body lighten, and was hugged by Ning Duo and jumped onto the boat.

Ning Duo lightly raised his sword and touched the water behind him. Driven by his spiritual power, the boat floated towards the wild lake where the water and sky were uniform like an arrow.

"This way there will be no more snakes, and no one will see it." Ning Duo's vague voice sounded from the ship's side, accompanied by sparkling light.

On the surface of the vast lake, the water and the sky are the same color.The silent breeze swept across the lake, gentle and lingering, circling around the little old boat in the lake.

Gentle water waves slapped the hull, and there were rhythmic bumps, from slow to fast, just like a flat boat suddenly encountered wind and waves on a sea as flat as a mirror.

The wind and waves range from weak to huge, from gentle to turbulent. Whether it is the hull of the ship or the confused people on the ship, they are swept up to the top of the waves for a while, and they seem to be pressed into the deep bottom of the sea for a while, as if they were photographed. To loose the skeleton...

The sun in the sky is from bright to dim, and there are sparse stars in the distant sky that start to blink.

The snow-white reeds swayed on the shore, and the insects and spirit beasts growing in the mud began to move around.

On the empty lake, the boat drifted farther and farther away, and suddenly, it fell apart and sank.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Someone was flopping in the water in embarrassment, "Xiao Qijun, look...you have shaken the boat apart!"

Another voice was hoarse: "...It's obvious that you moved more."

With a flash of light from the water drop, the surrounding water waves moved away, and the two figures climbed up a wooden board in embarrassment and lay side by side on it.

Yuan Qinghang closed his eyes, his cheeks were flushed, and the eyelashes were drooping, as if he had been forced to cry just now.

Beside him, Ning Duo gently held his hand, and said in a low voice for a while, "Does it hurt?..."

Yuan Qinghang's face was blushing, and he gritted his teeth and ignored him. After a while, he suddenly let out a soft whistle, which was melodious.

A moment later, a small black speck whistled from the sky, and it became bigger in an instant, and soon flew to the center of the lake, raised its head happily and gave a loud cry, trampled on all fours in the air, and did not fall down .

It was the lively and lovely little Gu Eagle from the past.

Just disappeared for a while, her stature has grown to be about the size of Gu Diao's mother, she is flying in the air, looking proudly, like the king of spirit beasts.

Yuan Qinghang jumped up, but just as he jumped into the air, his body suddenly went limp and he almost fell down.

His body lightened instantly, Ning Duo Wen Nuan bent his arms to catch him, and jumped onto the Gu Eagle's back together.

The little Gu Eagle hissed happily, and the huge fleshy wings on its back spread out instantly, creating a huge cyclone in the air and flying up into the air.

"Where are you going?" the person behind asked softly.

Yuan Qinghang leaned lazily on him, listening to the whistling wind in his ears, before his eyes were thousands of miles high in the sky, the stars and the moon were vast.

After a long time, he turned his head, with endless stars shining in his eyes: "Xiao Qijun, have I told you yet? The first time I saw you, I thought, from now on, I have to treat this little man well? ..."
