Chapter 178: Clues
Lu Chen walked to the big tree, looked at it for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand and stroked it on the trunk. The rough bark was passing by the palm of his palm, feeling rough like a rock.
There is still silence, but Lu Chen's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, his fingers are moving more and more slowly, and after a while, when his fingers scratch a mottled rift, he stops suddenly .
The cracked bark showed a dark and dark brown color at his fingertips. Lu Chen raised his eyebrows, pressed it gently and groped again. Gradually, a fine seam emerged from the dark bark. With the movement of his fingers, the fine seam expanded, and finally turned into a slap-like bark that suddenly shook, and then fell off the trunk.
With a click, the bark fell gently to the ground.
Lu Chen didn't take a closer look. He just stared at the exposed trunk behind the bark. On the smooth wood in that place, a simple and twisted pattern was carved with sharp blades.
One thick line, several thin lines, different lengths, different thicknesses, at first glance, it looks like a random scribble, but if you look closely, you will find that these twisted lines together look like a tree.
A big tree!
There was a smile slowly on the corner of Lu Chen's mouth. He stared at the secret pattern, as if to keep it in his heart. After a while, he flipped his right hand, and the black short sword appeared in In his hands, then he saw the black light passing by. He cut it off with a sword, but directly cut down the piece of wood with the pattern.
Then he turned around and called Ah Tu, and hurriedly walked outside the forest, and never looked back.

When Lu Chen returned to Feiyan Terrace, walking on the mountain road, he saw a pretty figure standing in front of him. At first Lu Chen thought it was Su Qingyu, but soon he realized that something was wrong, and then went on. A few steps forward, it was found that Yi Xin came.
The black dog, A Tu, screamed with joy, spread his legs and ran forward, Yi Xin squatted down with a smile, hugged A Tu, and fumbled fiercely.
A Tu also happily jumped around her. After a while, Lu Chen came up and said with a smile, "How come over today?"
Yi Xin touched Atu's head, then stood up and smiled at Lu Chen: "It's rare to be free. I thought I hadn't seen you and Atu for a long time, so I came to see you."
Lu Chen said: "It sounds like you've been busy lately?"
Yi Xin said: "Why not, since my master went out of customs, there have been waves of people there. I am his only apprentice, and I'm tired of receiving guests all day long. I can just follow My Master is related to people who have status and status, and they cannot be taken lightly, let alone be tiring. "
Lu Chen laughed, and said, "Don't complain, it's better than no one has managed you before."
Yi Xin grinned.
Lu Chen glanced around and saw that the sky above Feiyan was empty. The cave in the distance had not been opened, and the stone gate was closed. Then he asked Yi Xin: "Did you come to see your sister Su? ? "
Yi Xin said, "No, I also just came here, and Sister Su never came out. I didn't dare to disturb her easily."
Lu Chen nodded and said, "It's okay, then you can sit and sit with me." Then, he led Yi Xin to the wooden house he had just built.
After entering the wooden house, Yi Xin was very curious looking left and right. I saw that most of the house was made of wood, including walls, tables, chairs, beds, etc., but there was no follow-up such as painting and painting. Renovation, so the whole room looks very rough, but also exudes a natural fragrance of trees.
Looking at Yi Xin's face, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Why, haven't you seen such a house?"
Yi Xin nodded and said, "Yeah, it's really the first time I've seen it. Is this all built by you, Brother Lu?"
"Ok."
"It's amazing." Yi Xin boasted heartily.
Lu Chen laughed, pulled a wooden chair and let Yi Xin sit down, and said casually: "But it's just chopping some wood and bundling it together. It's nothing strange."
Yi Xin laughed, and then suddenly seemed to think of something, his face flashed, and the slyness flashed in his eyes, and he said to Lu Chen: "Well, I'm here today, there is another thing to inform you of."
"Huh? Is it important to be so formal?" Lu Chen asked strangely.
Yi Xin coughed and said, "I can't call you Brother Lu anymore."
"Ah, why?" Lu Chen asked.
"Look," Yi Xin said earnestly. "Sister Su and I have always been friends. But now that you have become a disciple of Sister Su, you have to call her a master, right? Then you see me, yes You have to call Uncle? "
Lu Chen paused and then cursed with a smile: "Okay, now I will take advantage of me."
Yi Xin snorted and said, "What is the advantage? If you dare not call Master Sister Su, then I will not let you call Uncle."
Lu Chen waved his hand and said, "What's the matter, Su Qingyu is several years younger than me. How could I call her Master, no way?"
Yi Xin laughed and said, "You should say this behind your back. Sister Su is really coming, and I dare not admit it."
Lu Chen was righteous and straightforwardly said, "Manly husband, if you don't call, don't call, you are useless to threaten."
Yi Xin giggled and looked very happy.
Looking at her appearance, Lu Chen also felt that his mood seemed a lot better, so he smiled and said to her, "Don't you say you're busy, why are you free today?"
"Oh, my master went out to meet an old friend today, so I was idle." Yi Xin stretched a lazy waist, and then, without any taboo, slumped on the rough bed and fell on top of it A smile of coziness said, "I'm still at your side, Brother Lu, you don't know that I'm in Sanzhangfengdongfu. All day long, my face is sour, all those people I don't know are They must be greeted with smiles, which is ten times more tiring than cultivation. "
Lu Chen cursed with a smile: "You were born in a blessing and you do n’t know how to bless you, but it ’s really annoying to see so many every day. You can run here with me when you are fine. When I am away, you and your Su Sister is also good for chatting. "
Yi Xin shrugged and said, "I'll talk to you and it won't delay you, but Sister Su is a genius who has attracted much attention. She must work hard all day to practice. I dare not disturb her."
Lu Chen thought for a while and said, "Well ... this is actually not the case, sometimes your sister Su also likes someone to talk to her. Anyway, it is not a bad thing to get closer to her. "
Yi Xin glanced at Lu Chen a little unexpectedly, and said, "Well, you know Sister Su quite well now."
Lu Chen laughed: "Average. By the way, there are so many real people and big brothers on the mountain, which one is your Master going to see?"
Yi Xin said, "My master didn't tell me, he just greeted me and left. Hey, where does he usually tell me?"
Probably thinking of this difference, Yi Xin was a little glum. Lu Chen saw that the girl's mood fluctuated so easily and was a little funny. At the moment, she joked a few jokes, and immediately made Yi Xin happy.
The two chatted and chatted for a while here, and seeing that it was getting late, Yi Xin got up and left. Lu Chen sent her to the side of the mountain road and watched her go far away, but after a while, Yi Xin suddenly turned back and said to Lu Chen: "Brother Lu, I want to tell you something."
Lu Chen looked at her with a dignified look, not like a joke, and was a little surprised, and said, "What's wrong?"
Yi Xin said, "Before my Master went out this time, someone had come to visit him ... it was Brother He Yi."
Lu Chen's face was slightly heavy, and he said, "Brother He Gang?"
"Yes."
Lu Chen can understand why Yi Xin's face is not so good-looking at the moment. After all, He Gang's incident seemed like a nightmare to her, and she really did not want to recall the past. And He Yi is He Gang's elder brother. He Gang was directly driven out of Kunlun Mountain because of that incident. No matter how you look at it, he and Yi Xin are in a hot situation here.
And Yi Xin is the only apprentice of Dongfang Tao. Obviously, Dongtao and He Yi can't go to the same place But this happened, obviously something weird in the middle.
Lu Chen thought for a while and said, "Did they hear anything that day?"
Yi Xin thought for a moment and said, "I was on the side most of the time before, but they were all polite, and it didn't matter. Later, after finishing speaking, I packed up the tea set and left for a while, watching them both It seemed to say a few more words, and I didn't hear those. "
Lu Chen frowned, without a word.
Yi Xin looked worried, whispered: "Brother Lu, what do you say ... what will they talk about? My master, shouldn't he be talked to by Brother He Yi? What? "
Lu Chen glanced at the girl and sighed in her heart. It can be said that Yi Xin's good life today is almost entirely derived from the appreciation she received from Dongfang Tao, who unexpectedly broke through the big life and death barrier and became a real baby.
If Dongfang Tao was bewildered by He Yi and had any views on Yi Xin, it would be almost a disaster for her. No wonder she was not calm at all.
Lu Chen groaned for a moment and said to Yi Xin: "Yi Xin, don't worry, in fact, in my opinion, this matter should not be as bad as you think." After a pause, he said again : "If you are still not assured, I will find a way to help you inquire about He Yi's recent movements."
"Um." Yi Xin focused his head, and a smile appeared on his face. Although he clearly knew that the strength of Brother He Yi and Lu Chen was very different, but for some reason, when Lu Chen told her to help, Yi Xin believed him almost subconsciously.
What he said will definitely be done.
Yi Xin was thinking like this, and his mood suddenly improved. (To be continued.)
