After the experience of Qianmianshan, the qualified new disciples began to take on the task, and of course, Yan Tong did the same.

Elder Baixun didn't retreat after that. After using Ji Heng's elixir, he recovered for a while, but it didn't take long for the true energy in his body to start to get out of control again.Ji Heng, Yuan De, and Hui Zhen studied together for a long time, but they couldn't find the crux of the problem.

Yan Tong walked to the gate of Wuwen Hall, lowered his head and straightened his clothes, and walked in with a smile.

There is a gazebo behind the green bamboo. A man in white with brocade sleeves is sitting in the pavilion, holding an ancient book in his hand. The green shadow of the bamboo sprinkles on the pages of the book. Jiao Xuerui moved, and the man on trial gently stroked his head.

"What is written in the book, the master didn't even notice that I'm back?" Yan Tong walked over quickly and smiled lightly.

Ji Heng raised his head and turned a page again, his tone was rarely lazy: "You stood there for almost half a stick of incense, what are you looking at?"

Yan Tong blinked: "So Master has already found out?"

Ji Heng put down the book in his hand, simply took the unicorn Xue Rui into his arms, looked at Yan Tong, raised his phoenix eyes slightly: "You didn't come here to say hello when you came back, you are getting more and more rude."

Yan Tong immediately walked over to the stone bench in front of Ji Heng and sat down, looking at Ji Heng for a moment.

In four months, he hadn't seen the man in front of him for 120 days.

"Master, when the peony flowers in Chang'an bloom, I miss you very much."

Ji Heng looked at him, smiled lightly, put Xue Rui into Yan Tong's arms, and said softly, "Little cunning."

Yan Tong's ears turned red suddenly, and he heard Ji Heng say again: "Why did you take so long this time, did you encounter any trouble?"

Yan Tong smiled shyly and said: "A mouse spirit, whose whereabouts are uncertain, always moves around to harm people. It didn't take much effort to deal with him, but it took some time to find his nest."

Ji Heng: "Caught it?"

Yan Tong nodded: "I was caught in a small town beside Jingnv Lake, and thanks to him being able to place so many nests everywhere, it was easy for me to find."

"Jingnv Lake..." Ji Heng frowned suddenly when he heard the words, and muttered.

Seeing that his expression was wrong, Yan Tong asked, "Master, what's wrong?"

Ji Heng looked at him, and said for a moment: "It's nothing, it's just that several recent cases are related to this Jingnv Lake, and I suddenly remembered it."

"What are these cases connected with?"

Ji Heng shook his head: "It has nothing to do with it."

Seeing Ji Heng's slightly tired expression, Yan Tong felt distressed: "Then don't think too much about it, maybe it's just a coincidence."

Ji Heng lowered his eyes and nodded.

Yan Tong said again: "Master, how is Uncle Baixun?"

"Your Uncle Huizhen has gone to live in Luyou Pavilion, so it is convenient for you to take care of him all the time."

Yan Tong sighed inwardly, put down Xue Rui and helped Ji Heng up: "Go back and rest, Master, your complexion is not very good."

Ji Heng pushed his hand away, picked up the book on the stool and said: "Let's look at it later, brother and Huizhen have found many methods to no avail. I will try to find other methods."

Yan Tong walked over to take the book from him, put his head on Ji Heng's shoulder, and said in a tired voice, "Master, in order to get back as soon as possible, I have been traveling day and night for three days, so you should accompany me Take a break, okay? Master, I'm so tired..."

Ji Heng was slightly stunned, pondered for a moment, and said softly: "Okay."

Yan Tong smiled muffled, and pulled Ji Heng to the inner hall.

It wasn't until the evening that the two of them got up again. Just after eating some pastries, Dao Tong came to pass the message that Wuyou Hall summoned all the elders to discuss matters.

Yan Tong's heart skipped a beat, he had a vague premonition, he looked at Ji Heng, and whispered softly: "Master..."

Ji Heng's face was also a little dignified. If it wasn't a big deal, Yuan De wouldn't be calling the elders to discuss matters at this time.

The two looked at each other, Ji Heng patted his shoulder, and walked out with Yan Tong one after the other.

In the main hall of Wuyou Hall, the seven elders of the Changfeng Sect have all arrived.

Yuan De sat on the first seat with a worried look on his face.

Bai Xun said: "Master, what happened?"

The other elders also looked at Immortal Yuande.

Yuan De looked at the people in the hall, was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Something happened to Jingnv Lake."

Yan Tong's eyebrows twitched.

Ji Heng's feeling is not wrong, there is really a problem with Jingnv Lake.

He also looked at Yuan De, and Ji Heng said: "Is it related to those recent cases?"

Yuan De nodded, sighed, and said, "We started in the wrong direction, whether it was the Chang'an mouse spirit, the Quyang civet cat, or the recent cases I sent my disciples to handle, they were all wrong."

Ji Heng frowned: "What's wrong?"

Yuan De looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice: "Although these spirits are harmful, they are just small people. Every time we only deal with these little spirits, we never thought about whether they are connected.

Xuanzhen just sent news that when he was dealing with a case of ghosts killing people in a small town next to Jingnv Lake, he discovered something strange at the bottom of the lake. After investigation, it was found that all the people killed by the ghosts were buried here.

The monster at the bottom of the lake is the source of all disasters.Because we cut off his 'food' supply, he started 'foraging' himself.

Now in the small town next to Jingnv Lake, people disappear for no reason every day, and Xuanzhen Xuanyu can't find any traces of monsters appearing. "

An elder said in surprise: "It's just a minion? Not to mention other things, Yan Tong, the most talented among this group of disciples, spent four months trying to catch a mouse spirit. If this is just a minion, then the monster at the bottom of the lake will Would not it be……"

Yan Tong: "..."

Ji Heng glanced at the elder, then turned his gaze to Yuan De, and said in a deep voice: "Master, I will personally take Yan Tong down the mountain to handle this matter."

Bai Xun also said: "Master, I will go with me."

Huizhen took a look at them and said concisely: "Count me in."

Yuan De looked at the few of them: "Nonsense. Baixun can't go, and Huizhen will stay."

That's all the headmaster said, and the remaining elders had no choice but to "please" one after another, saying "I'll go" and "I'll go too".

Yuan De looked at the crowd, and then looked at Ji Heng again after a long while: "Mr. Heng, this trip is dangerous. I am afraid that only you, master and apprentice, can't handle it. You can see for yourself, and bring two elders with you."

Ji Heng hesitated for a while when he heard the words, and glanced at the other elders. The elders touched their noses and looked at the sky. Yuan De couldn't help but sighed again, and said angrily: "This is How can you be so slack when it comes to important matters related to the common people?!"

The elders immediately lowered their heads and remained silent.

"Master, Yan Tong and I are enough." Ji Heng said suddenly.

Yuan De froze for a moment and looked at him with worry on his brows: "Mr. Heng..."

Seeing this scene, Yan Tong got angry early, stepped forward and said, "Uncle Master, don't worry, Master and I are enough. There are too many people, and I don't know whether it is a helper or a burden."

Several elders heard the words and said angrily: "Zhuzi dare to speak?!"

Ji Heng never allowed Yan Tong to disrespect his elders, but this time he didn't stop Yan Tong, but just gave those elders a cold look.

Yan Tong snorted, "Where did I say something wrong?"

Several elders: "You!..."

Yuan De glared at the elders: "Enough! Why are you arguing? You all go back, Heng Jun and Yan Tong stay."

Before Huizhen and Baixun left, they walked up to Ji Heng. Just as Baixun was about to say something, Ji Heng smiled and shook his head. Baixun sighed and followed Huizhen out of the hall.

Several elders also left angrily.

Everyone left, Yuan De pondered for a while, finally looked at the two of them, and said in a deep voice: "This trip is really dangerous, you two may not have a chance of winning, I will go with you."

Ji Heng frowned slightly: "Brother, not to mention that you have to stay and take care of Baixun, if you leave too, then who will control the thousands of disciples Changfeng sent?"

Yuan De sighed heavily: "Although that's the case, as for you master and apprentice, I..."

Ji Heng: "Brother always knows how strong I am. As for Yan Tong, I am afraid that there is no one else on the Green Dome who can beat him except you and me. The two of us are enough."

Yuan De looked at Yan Tong.

Yan Tong was stunned by the sudden compliment. Seeing Yuan De looking at him, he hurriedly said, "Uncle Master, I will protect Master well!"

Ji Heng: "..."

Yuan De: "...you have to pay attention to yourself."

Yan Tong: "Yes, Uncle Master."

Looking at the pair of master and apprentice, Yuan De was silent for a moment, and suddenly said with emotion: "Mr. Heng, if Master knows that you have accepted such an outstanding apprentice as Yan Tong, you will be very happy."

Ji Heng paused, a rare look on his face that Yan Tong couldn't read, he looked at Yuan De without saying anything.

Yuan De sighed again: "Let's go, it's getting late."

Ji Heng and Yan Tong walked out of Wuyou Hall.

Yan Tong: "Master, when are we going down the mountain?"

Ji Heng glanced down the mountain, and said softly, "Now."

Yan Tong was startled for a moment, then after thinking about it, he felt that this was Ji Heng's style, and then chuckled.

Ji Heng turned to look at him, puzzled and said, "What are you laughing at?"

Yan Tong said with a smile: "Master, except for the first time you brought your new disciples down the mountain to practice, this is the first time I have gone down the mountain with Master. I am a little overjoyed."

Ji Heng probably really couldn't understand why he could be "overjoyed" when he went down the mountain together, so he glanced at Yan Tong and nodded invisibly.

Just after nightfall, the master and apprentice rushed to a small town beside Jingnv Lake and found an inn to stay.

Yan Tong sent out the signal before arriving in town, so when he arrived at the inn, Xuan Zhen was already waiting here.

"I'm sorry, guest officer, there is only one vacant room in this store." Xiao Er looked at the few people and said with a smile.

The corners of Yan Tong's mouth twitched slightly, vaguely feeling that this sentence was a bit familiar...

But now there are three of them...

Xuan Zhen said with a serious face: "Uncle, the situation in the lake has not been investigated yet, and there are still people disappearing for no reason in the town. I will keep watch today, so you can rest for a night."

Ji Heng looked at him: "You have been checking for a long time, and you must not have had a good rest. It's time to have a good night's rest. Let Yan Tong watch the night."

Yan Tong: "..." Why was it suddenly arranged?Master, it's rare that you don't remember that I rushed back today too?

Xuanzhen pondered for a moment, then said happily: "Good uncle, then I'll make a bed on the floor!"

Ji Heng nodded slightly.

So, Xuan Zhen and Ji Heng went back to the room, and Yan Tong went to the roof to watch the night.

Although the evening is hot and dry, the night wind is still a bit cool.

Yan Tong sat bored and helpless, just about to open a barrier for himself to keep out the cold, when there were very slight footsteps behind him.

Standing up on guard, Yan Tong turned his head abruptly, with a seal already formed in his hand.

Seeing his guarded face, Ji Heng smiled and walked over, and put a black cloak on him: "It's cold at night, don't be careless."

After speaking, he sat down next to Yan Tong, as if he had no intention of leaving immediately.

Yan Tong was stunned for a while, the smile on the corner of his mouth widened unconsciously, and he also sat down next to Ji Heng.
