Le Zheng Ling and the others had also packed up everything and set off after lunch in order to get back to Le Zheng before dark.
The return journey was much faster. Le Zheng Shuiling looked at the painted city reluctantly, as it went farther and farther away and soon disappeared from sight.
She obediently sat back in the carriage. This time, Le Zheng Shangbao and Bai Zhi were not in the same carriage. Instead, it was her, Le Zheng Feixu and Le Zheng Ling. Facing the two of them, Le Zheng Shuiling became even quieter.
No one could talk, and no one dared to stick their heads out to chat with Le Zheng Yuhua and Le Zheng Qiming. If Le Zheng Ling was not there, there would only be one Le Zheng Feixu, but she didn't care.
The carriage was shaking and she almost fell asleep. Fortunately, Le Zheng Feixu reached out and held her. Le Zheng Shuiling was awakened and perked up.
"Are you tired? The carriage is a bit uncomfortable to ride in. I would rather ride a horse."
"Master Feixu?"
"what happened?"
"I heard that it was the girl in green who picked you up?"
"Yes. She rode a horse and rushed to Lezheng, which scared the city guards. She was allowed to enter the city only after she showed her nameplate. After she explained her purpose, the head of the family agreed immediately. I didn't expect it. Then we flew to the Painting City with a flying sword. But she didn't use a sword but her pipe."
"A pipe?"
"Yes. This pipe is different from the sword. Although it has become larger, it is smooth and round. Fortunately, the girl in green is very good at flying the sword. It seems that she is just lying on it to sleep, but she controls it very steadily. I also took the opportunity to appreciate the scenery along the way. The rice seedlings are growing very well."
Le Zhengling listened to their conversation, especially when she heard them talking about Qingyi. Although she had already seen through that Hou Qingyi was a man dressed as a woman, she did not deliberately point it out. She just listened to them talking with her ears tilted.
Le Zheng Shuiling could tell that she was praising herself and smiled embarrassedly.
"Good growth is only the beginning. The result must be a good harvest. Besides this, there must be many other beautiful sights, right? Beautiful sights that cannot be seen from a carriage."
"Yes. I saw a green bamboo forest in the east, and fireflies flying around in it, just like the night sky and stars. It was so beautiful. You can go and see it later."
Le Zheng Shui Ling wanted to see him now, not to mention the future. So she looked out the window, but she couldn't see any bamboo forest, let alone the woods.
"The Black Forest has never had light."
Le Zheng Ling suddenly said something, and Le Zheng Feixu was stunned at first, and then realized that what he saw was the Black Forest, a cursed place, and regretted what he had just said.
The Black Forest is a dense bamboo forest. No light can penetrate into the forest and it is completely dark, so it is called the Black Forest.
There is a shortcut in the Black Forest that leads directly to the Painted City, but very few people pass through it. It is said that anyone who enters the Black Forest will be cursed by the Black Forest and will never be able to leave.
For this reason, over the years, many Taoists have gone there to explore the situation, but some never returned or lost their minds. Over time, the Black Forest became a forbidden area in the hearts of Taoists.
There are also some Taoists who want to prove themselves or want to get high rewards. They choose the mission of Heilin on their own, but the results are still cruel.
Le Zheng Feixu was sure that he had seen it right. At that time, there was a glow like a firefly in the Black Forest, so he did not realize that it was the Black Forest. But according to the location on the map, that was indeed where the Black Forest was.
If it was Hei Lin, he would have told Le Zheng Shui Ling things and said things he shouldn't have said, but he didn't know how to start the conversation because after all, words spoken cannot be taken back.
Seeing that they were so secretive about the matter, Le Zheng Shui Ling did not dare to ask any further. However, she still became interested in this Hei Lin and decided to go back and ask Le Zheng Qi Ming to check it out for her.
Because of Hei Lin's topic, Le Zheng Feixu didn't say a word the whole time and his face didn't look very good.
Le Zheng Shui Ling couldn't help but want to comfort her, but when she thought of her reaction after she knew that place was Heilin, Le Zheng Shui Ling didn't dare to bring it up.
Le Zheng Shuiling was not completely ignorant about the Black Forest. After all, legend had it that the head of the He family and his wife entered the Black Forest and got lost in it. They have not returned yet and their whereabouts are unknown.
The old lady was not as secretive as they were. Besides, Heilin was some distance away from Jimen Pass, and the clan had a rule not to go out casually, so Heilin's affairs were rarely mentioned, which led to her not having much interest in Heilin before.
As darkness gradually fell, they finally returned to Jimen Pass. Many people had been waiting at the gate long ago. When they saw them, they all came to help. However, they ignored the three of them. Instead, they thought it was a good idea, as it could save them from many unnecessary troubles.
Le Zheng Shuiling walked to the side, stretched herself, and moved so much that she could hear the "creaking" sound of her bones.
"Qiming, go back and give me a massage."
When Le Zheng Qiming looked over, she was just stroking her buttocks.
"I reject."
Le Zheng Shuiling raised her head and met his eyes with embarrassment on his face. Le Zheng Qiming immediately turned his face away. Le Zheng Shuiling was about to say something to him when she realized that he had misunderstood.
"What are you thinking about? I'm talking about the waist and shoulders."
"Actually, I don't think any of them are appropriate now."
Le Zheng Shuiling suddenly felt that Le Zheng Qiming had become much more distant from her. Not only did he look at her strangely, but he also avoided her and dared not look at her.
Le Zheng Shuiling couldn't figure it out for a moment, and when she was about to say something to him, Le Zheng Yuhua came over.
Le Zheng Yuhua didn't say it directly, but just praised Le Zheng Shuiling: "You are so beautiful in this outfit. Next time you go shopping, go buy two new clothes."
After being praised by him suddenly, and seeing him smiling at her gently, Le Zheng Shuiling suddenly felt a little happy, and then her face became a little hot. Soon, she realized that she was a girl, and Le Zheng Yuhua and Le Zheng Qiming were both men.
"Why are you suddenly saying these offensive words?"
Le Zheng Yuhua looked at the petite Le Zheng Shuiling and couldn't help but reach out to touch her head, smiling dotingly: "Brother and sister, how can they be estranged? Don't you think so?"
"I...will not give birth..."
Before Le Zheng Shuiling finished speaking, she saw Le Zheng Ying coming over, took a step forward and stood in front of Le Zheng Yuhua.
Le Zhengying didn't say anything, but just looked at Le Zheng Yuhua and explained to him why he was there.
"The master and the master are waiting for you. Answer carefully. They all know about Mingjing Zhishui."
"Thank you, Senior Sister Ying. My senior brother knows what to do."
Le Zhengying nodded to Le Zheng Shuiling, also to reassure her.
"Then come with me."
Le Zheng Yuhua looked at Le Zhengying. She nodded and turned around to take them to see the head of the family.
Le Zheng Yuhua knew that she must have taken such good care of him because of Le Zhengfang's instructions. He couldn't help but think of Lin Fang, and then of his brothers.
He always felt that he was alone, not close to anyone, and no one wanted to be close to him. But once they were separated, the brotherhood in the army that he had not paid much attention to was already hidden in his heart. But he never thought about it deeply, as if he didn't dare to believe it. He was also afraid that other feelings would affect his determination to revive Sanye, and he didn't want to have any hesitation on this matter.
