Chapter 467 Syndra
After much thought, Lu Qi finally bought a solo boat from an old man.
Ignoring the old man's advice, under his puzzled eyes, he slowly drove towards Filuo'er Island.
After all, the more difficult the trouble is to solve, the greater the favor owed by the Apocalypse.
Furthermore, Lu Qi's strength is no longer weak now. If the situation goes wrong, he can retreat at any time.
What he hopes now is that the Lord is easy to talk to.
Gradually, the surroundings became quiet, with only the sound of the oars sliding, and the sea turned red under the setting sun.
As time passed, the outline of Filo Island appeared in Lu Qi's eyes.
He continued driving until he was almost close, but he didn't see what the store owner said happened.
It was quiet throughout.
Filo Island looks deserted, and the scenery does not look like Ionia. It is overgrown with weeds, and it looks a bit more desolate.
Finally, the ship docked on the shore, and Lu Qi stood up and landed on the island. The moment he stepped out, circles of ripples suddenly rippled on the sea surface, and a strange wave emerged.
When Lu Qi's feet landed on the ground, the sky suddenly brightened, and the scenery in front of him changed drastically in an instant. The island is full of flowers and green plants, thick with trees, and beautiful scenery.
"This is..." Lu Qi was confused, then realized clearly: "Is it a dream?"
The moment he landed on the island, he was pulled into this dream, and it was forced.
He squatted down, picked up a handful of sand from the beach, and observed it, and found that the composition of this dream was unexpectedly real, almost the same as reality.
After thinking for a while, Lu Qi walked forward without doing anything.
It didn't take long for him to encounter a large town, located on open terrain, surrounded by people in all directions.
The town is very lively with people coming and going.
Everything looks incredibly real.
Walking in the town like a stroll, Lu Qi didn't know where his destination was for a while, until he heard a sound not far away.
"Go faster, Syndra, what are you doing standing still? We still have somewhere to go."
A fat young boy walked in front, followed by two companions.
The three of them were wearing the same monk robes and looked like the disciples of a certain master.
"Senior brother, I want to go home and have a look. It's not far away."
A weak voice sounded.
Behind the three of them, followed a similarly dressed girl, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with beautiful silver-white hair. She was thin and had her head buried so that her face could not be seen clearly.
But her thin body was now carrying packages one after another, along with two boxes in her left and right hands. She was bearing a burden that she shouldn't have to bear. Her body was bent under the pressure, and she walked step by step carefully.
"You can't go back to any home anytime you want. The most important thing right now is to complete the tasks assigned by the teacher."
The senior brother disagreed.
"Oh" the girl replied with her head buried in her head, and had no choice but to continue to follow.
Just as she walked, her speed slowed down.
The senior brother in front turned around again: "Why are you slowing down again? How could we have so much time to wait for you?"
"But...it's so heavy."
The girl said weakly.
"Why do you feel so heavy now? It's really a waste of my good intentions. This is the training I specially prepared for you, senior brother. You should cherish it if you are so weak."
The senior brother walking in front didn't even look back, walked easily, and even yawned, "You must persist. Also, these are the things the teacher wants. If any of them are damaged, you will know the consequences."
"I" the girl wants to say something else.
When another senior brother next to him saw this, he immediately said: "Hu Chang is right. This is an important practice for you. It is also a valuable experience for us. If you can't persist, then give it to us."
He held out his hand in disappointment.
"I can do it."
The girl buried her head, silently gritted her teeth and persisted, following the three of them step by step.
Soon, a group of people passed by Lu Qi.
Seeing this, Lu Qi thought for a moment and followed him.
After the four of them bought the last thing, they left the town and walked towards a mountain road.
The mountain road was not steep, but there was a slope, which made the girl's burden even heavier. A large amount of sweat dripped from her forehead, but she still persisted.
On the contrary, the three senior brothers in front were a little impatient. They turned around and urged: "Go faster. If you are so slow and go back late, what should I do if the teacher is dissatisfied?"
"I tried my best."
Syndra gasped tiredly.
"If you still have the strength to speak, it means you haven't tried your best. Try harder."
Hu Chang glanced at her condescendingly, with a touch of pride flashing in his eyes, then turned around and continued walking forward at a relaxed pace.
Finally, at noon, the group returned to a temple, which was covered with flowers and the scenery was quite beautiful.
When they were about to reach the entrance, the three of them finally turned back to find Syndra, and each took some packages from her without any explanation.
"Yes, if you can persevere, your practice will make great progress. That's all. Leave the rest to your senior brothers."
Hu Chang looked at Syndra with satisfaction and praised him.
"Thank you, senior brother."
Syndra raised her head, a smile on her face, and she was panting from exhaustion.
Her face was as thin as her body, giving people a feeling of weakness, as if she was malnourished.
But it is not difficult to see the beauty that is difficult to conceal, but the skin is not very good, as if it is often exposed to wind and sun.
After entering the temple, a white-haired old man came out not long after. He had a kind face and kind eyes, and looked amiable. His every move showed the demeanor of a master.
Chief Hu stepped forward and bowed to his disciple: "Teacher, we went to the town to buy everything you asked for, and we didn't miss anything."
"Really, you did a good job." The old man glanced at several people with approval in his eyes, "Thank you for your hard work."
When his eyes fell on Syndra, he found that she was panting and looked extremely tired.
It seemed that he was thinking of something, but he didn't ask too much. He just said: "In the next period of time, it will be an important period for me to make a breakthrough. I will manage the secular affairs flawlessly. You guys will take good care of the temple."
Hu Chang and the other disciples immediately responded: "Yes, teacher."
They respectfully watched the old man leave, and then returned to their original state in a second.
"Where should we go to play next?"
"Let's go shopping in town again."
"Okay, I didn't play much just now."
The three of them talked about where to go next, ignoring Syndra standing next to them.
Syndra couldn't help but said: "Brother, what else should I do?"
"You?" Hu Chang then remembered her, turned his head and took a look and said: "If you have nothing to do, clean the yard in the afternoon, and the teacher's potted plants. Remember to water them. The water tank is also empty. Remember to go after Get water from mountains.”
He handed over a series of chores directly.
Syndra stood there in a daze.
A person next to me immediately said: "Why, don't you want to?"
"It's not my turn yet."
Several of their disciples were responsible for the sundries in the temple in turn.
And she has been in charge for a long time.
She had carried so much luggage this morning, maybe she was really tired, so she mustered up the courage to speak out.
"Why didn't you do it before it was your turn? Have you realized anything yet? As the teacher's disciples, we are all rushing to do these things. Now it's all cheaper, aren't you okay?"
Hu Chang said with a disappointed expression again at this moment.
Another senior brother sighed: "You really let us down."
Hu Chang looked at Sindra: "Let me ask you one last time, do you do these jobs?"
Syndra lowered her head and nodded.
The three senior brothers immediately laughed with satisfaction.
"Then I leave these to you."
After saying that, the three of them walked out of the temple together, chatting and laughing away.
Syndra stood in the courtyard for a while, then silently walked to the wall, picked up the broom, and started sweeping.
After a while, Lu Qi walked into the temple, looked at the girl in the courtyard, and asked aloud: "Are you the only one?"
Sindra raised her head after hearing this. The silver hair that had been trimmed randomly on her forehead fell down, covering half of her face, and she looked a little gloomy.
Then she saw a particularly handsome man, and she couldn't help but be stunned.
Lu Qi asked again: "Excuse me, are you the only one here?"
Sindra suddenly came back to her senses and replied quickly: "Senior brother and the others are out, the teacher is busy, what can I do for you?"
"It's nothing, I just passed by by chance. In that case, I won't bother you."
Lu Qi looked around, then turned and left the temple.
Sindra tilted her head and looked at the back of this strange man, without thinking much, and continued to clean the yard.
After leaving the temple.
Lu Qi looked up at the sky, the sunlight was extremely dazzling. He has confirmed at this moment that everything he sees now should be what happened before.
"Looks like we need to find a place to stay first."
Lu Qi walked aimlessly and unknowingly came to the back mountain. The scenery here was also relatively beautiful, with lush trees standing in full bloom.
Arriving at a clear lake, the terrain is open and the view is good.
Lu Qi immediately decided to live here temporarily. Thinking of the Ionian housing style, he turned back to the woods and began to search.
This search took some effort, but it was not in vain. Lu Qi returned to the lake with a spiritual tree species.
Then I found an open area, dug the soil, planted the seeds in it, and watered it.
Then, he sat down cross-legged, cleared his mind, and began to imagine what he wanted the house to look like.
The last step is to inject spiritual power.
After a while, the ground loosened a little, and a small sapling came out of the ground. In a short time, it grew into a slender tree.
Then he calmed down, and Lu Qi opened his eyes, not in a hurry. After all, it was his first time trying.
At this time, he felt hungry in his stomach. He raised his head and looked at the sky. Unknowingly, it was almost evening.
After thinking about it, he made a simple fishing rod and decided to catch two fish.
Sitting leisurely by the lake, he threw out the fishing line and watched it fall into the lake. Lu Qi waited like a fossil like an old man waiting for someone to take the bait.
Time passed slowly, and as the lake surface rippled, the fishing rod also trembled.
Lu Qi immediately used strength and raised his hand to lift the fishing rod. A carp weighing about two pounds with bright scales was caught and landed on the ground, jumping energetically.
Lu Qi was not satisfied, and at the same time he became addicted to fishing, so he threw out another hook.
After the sun set, another carp weighing about two pounds was hooked.
Waiting like this was not an option, so Lu Qi lit a bonfire. After finishing the processing, he put the two fish on the fire and grilled them.
At the same time, the fishing rod is waiting in the lake, waiting for new fish to take the bait.
Not long after, there was a sound of rapid footsteps, and the panting girl Syndra appeared in Lu Qi's sight, carrying a bucket of water.
After seeing Lu Qi, Syndra was stunned for a moment. She naturally remembered Lu Qi. After all, she had just met him not long ago and had a deep memory.
There are not many people who look so good-looking.
Lu Qi smiled and said hello: "We meet again. I see you are very anxious. What's wrong?"
"I saw fire in the distance and thought it was a fire, so I rushed over."
Syndra replied in a low voice, lowering her head while speaking and not looking at Lu Qi.
"That's it. I'm sorry, you misunderstood."
Lu Qi suddenly apologized, guessing that Syndra came to bring water to put out the fire.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't have to be a fire." Syndra said weakly.
After all, it was in the woods, and a fire would be very serious.
Lu Qi thought of something and smiled again: "But there is a lake right in front of us. You can come over and fill it with water."
Syndra seemed to have just realized it and felt a little embarrassed.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. As compensation, I'll treat you to a fish."
Lu Qi smiled.
"No need." Sindra quickly shook her head, and then she smelled the aroma of grilled fish wafting into her nose. It was the most fragrant smell she had ever smelled.
After a tiring day, my stomach reacted immediately and started to growl.
Her face suddenly turned red.
Lu Qi said with a smile on his face: "I can't eat two fishes by myself. Even if I ask you to do a favor, please sit down."
"Thank you then."
Syndra hesitated for a moment, then put down the bucket and sat over. She still seemed embarrassed. She buried her head and said nothing.
Dull, gloomy, bulky and easy to bully, this is Lu Qi's current impression of Syndra.
He picked up a piece of grilled fish and when it was almost done, he sprinkled it with seasonings and handed it over: "Try it, and evaluate my craftsmanship by the way."
Sindra smelled the aroma and almost hit her nose. She raised her hand to take it, looking at the grilled fish in a daze.
Seeing this, Lu Qi added another comment about being easily distracted.
However, he stopped urging him, picked up another grilled fish, and started eating on his own.
Seemingly hearing the sound of Lu Qi starting to eat, Syndra came back to her senses, blew on it carefully, and opened her mouth to bite it without worrying that Lu Qi was a bad guy.
The shell of the fish made a crisp sound, and the outside layer was grilled and crispy, but the fish meat was very tender and very fragrant. I don’t know what seasonings were used. It was simply the most fragrant fish she had ever eaten in her life.
Syndra's eyes seemed to light up for a while. She started eating in small bites, but her speed was not slow at all. In the blink of an eye, half of the fish had been wiped out.
