As soon as she walked out of the mountain gate, she saw er-er leaning against the mountain wall with his arms crossed. His face was full of displeasure. “I’m not a monster,”er-er muttered and glanced sideways at Chao Lu. Chao Lu smiled with narrowed eyes, and the burden on her back swayed back and forth. “Yes, I’m also here to cultivate.” “Yes. Lu'er, that old man treats you so badly. Why Don’t you come with me to the Hua family to cultivate?”Er’er sized up Chao Lu and conveniently changed Chao Lu’s name to Lu'er like Xin An. Chao Lu hurriedly nodded. “Master doesn’t treat me badly. It’s just that Chao Lu did something wrong today.” Suddenly, she frowned and looked at Er’er with a hint of regret in her eyes. “Not good.” “What?”Er’er was really worried that Zhao Lu would go back on her words, so his face was pale and indifferent. “I forgot to ask master what the immortal art of death is.” “Let’s go to the Hua family. I’ll help you ask Master.”Er’er was confident and full of pride. Zhao Lu listened to Er’er and let him swagger toward the Hua family. According to Zhao Lu’s deduction, the so-called Hua family was just a place for a group of flower spirits to seek immortality and Dao. She thought it was very fun, so she naturally had to go. She held her hands and walked all the way up the mountain. She had never been afraid of climbing mountains. Originally, she walked more steadily than anyone else with a melon basket on her back. Now that she was empty-handed, seeing that the road was getting steeper and steeper, she did not show any signs of difficulty. After crossing a towering mountain peak, she passed through a long valley. The valley was deep, and there was a peach forest on both sides, with no end in sight. Zhao Lu was speechless. “ER er, do you always walk this long to find me?” Er Er led the way in front, shrugging his narrow shoulders. “No, no, I’m an immortal cultivator. Naturally, I don’t have to walk like this.” Zhao Lu blinked and pouted. “ER er, you idiot.” Er Er was stunned for a moment. He stopped and waited for Zhao Lu to come forward. He wanted to ask her what was going on, but Zhao Lu just walked all the way without paying attention to him. This made him scratch his ears and cheeks anxiously, not knowing what to do. Later, he realized that Zhao Lu was an immortal cultivator after all, needless to say, she had cultivated a body of brute force. She probably would not be able to fly or burrow into the ground. Zhao Lu held her hand in front of her and Er er followed behind her. It was already close to dusk, and they were laughing and joking along the way. At this time, a mountain rock that was two heads high stood in front of them. Er Er’s eyes lit up, and he pointed at the mountain rock. “Quick, after passing this mountain rock, we will reach the Hua family.” Er Er always talked about the hua family. Chao Lu originally thought that the Hua family was just a cottage in the mountains where a little flower spirit like er er lived. However, as soon as she turned around this dense forest of wild flowers, what she saw was a large house with carved beams and painted buildings. The house was deep, and the door beam was engraved with the words “Before the flowers and under the Moon.”On the eaves beside the flowers and under the moon.., there were exquisite carvings of peonies, peonies, and other luxurious flower seeds. Outside the door of the mansion, there was an acre and a half of land, in which all kinds of flower seeds were competing to bloom. It was not yet the autumn equinox, but there was already a flower in each of the four seasons. It made people wonder if the person living here was really a flower fairy. Zhao Lu stared at the flowers and under the moon, deep in thought. She thought to herself, “In front of the flowers here, I am a melon field... the difference is really big.” Er’er held Chao Lu’s hand and jumped a few steps, running happily. He kicked open the door of the house and shouted, “Master, master, I’m back.” There were four courtyards inside the door. A few extremely beautiful women walked past the hall opposite. They looked at Chao Lu beside Er’er with a pair of soul-stirring eyes. They covered their mouths with handkerchiefs and giggled, and kept making eyes at him, this caused the waiter’s face to turn red. A man walked out of the main hall, and Chao Lu’s eyes instantly widened. This man said that he was handsome, but there was also a hint of delicate whiteness hidden in his face. If he was said to be as beautiful as a crown and as beautiful as a peach blossom, then he was also a little more handsome. After all, he was still a little more beautiful than the woman outside the hall. Why didn’t Chao Lu, who was young but could appreciate beauty, have a faint peach blossom color on her face. Er Er hesitated for a few steps, but still mustered his courage to rush forward and grab the hand of the man who walked out of the main hall. he shouted, “Master, master, this is the Chao Lu I was talking about.” The man squinted his Phoenix Eyes and was so beautiful that he was not an ordinary person. He looked up and down at Chao Lu and then put on a very charming smile. Even his voice was very flirtatious. “Oh? You Are Lu'er?” Zhao Lu se shrank back. Although her voice was really gentle, for some reason, there was a bit of coldness in it. She nodded, folded her hands, and smiled honestly. “Then er er, take Lu'er to play with us for a few more days under the Moon and flowers. Don’t treat me slowly.” “Uncle...”Zhao Lu thought about it and did not know how to address him. It seemed a bit wrong to call him big brother, but it was also wrong to call him master. After thinking about it, she slowly opened her mouth, which really made the beautiful man’s face darken. He walked down step by step. The light-colored dragon and Phoenix steps formed by the silver thread swayed in his eyes, and his beautiful face was brought in front of Zhao Lu. “HMM? What did you call me just now?” “Uncle,”Zhao Lu answered matter-of-factly, and her phoenix eyes narrowed even more dangerously. “Call me master Hua Qing.”He gently touched Zhao Lu’s forehead. She frowned and agreed. Only then did Hua Qing slowly smile, and he rubbed Zhao Lu’s face with a pair of warm hands until it hurt. Chao Lu did not dare to move. Hua Qing moved closer to her face, took a deep breath, and said in an intoxicated manner, “What a fragrant smell.” Chao Lu shivered, but er’er tugged at her hand and smiled mischievously in response. Chao Lu was relieved. Although this master of Love was a little too beautiful and dangerous, he really didn’t have any ill intentions. Seeing er’er being raised by him, he was so healthy and lively. When they passed by the porch, a big sister in red poked er’er’s face with her red dan Kou Finger. “Little rascal...” Then, she smiled beautifully. Beside her, there were three thousand beautiful women dressed in all kinds of clothes. They walked around the courtyard. Zhao Lu sighed in her heart. What a place under the moonlight. Master Hua Qing held the hands of the two of them. His hands were soft and warm. Zhao Lu raised her head and looked at this face that was as bright as the Moon. She blushed slightly. Master Hua Qing was really beautiful. Hua Qing placed Chao Lu directly opposite the side room in Er-er’s courtyard. It was surrounded by pink walls and green willows. The three hanging flower gatehouses had golden arches with flying dragons playing with hundreds of flowers on the roof. The four sides of the corridor were winding, the eaves of the corridor were carved with fine spiraling flower vines. In this courtyard, there were children just like er-er. All of them looked strange and cute. Chao Lu was very happy and had a lot of fun playing with them. Often, the children under the moonlight would bring their good friends from the farmers at the foot of the mountain to play together. The courtyard was often filled with laughter and laughter. However, er’er always shook his head and sighed when everyone squeezed together to play in the courtyard. He insisted that Chao Lu was like a crane standing out from a flock of chickens. She was a rare beauty that could only be seen once in a hundred years. Zhao Lu held her hands and thought about the logic behind it. She finally realized that if an ordinary beauty like herself was out of the ordinary, she would indeed be exceptionally outstanding. Er’er’s taste was indeed particularly sharp in this kind of environment where beauties surrounded him. As Zhao Lu thought about this, her brain felt a little sleepy. She held her head. Recently, she had been feeling this way and was getting Lazier and Lazier. She thought about it and decided to go back quickly. Her master would not be happy to see her being lazy like this. As the saying goes, cultivating the heart and mind, she could not neglect herself like this. However, it was said that Er ‘er had been taken out by the big sister in red to work. Zhao Lu could not find er ‘er, but she wanted to say goodbye. This made her anxious, so she wandered around the garden. At least she could leave a message for er ‘er when she found her master. The paths in the courtyard were interlocked, decorated with strange stones and strange jade. The top and bottom were arranged in an orderly manner, and all kinds of flowers and trees complemented each other. There were roses and precious faces on the top, peonies and hydrangeas on the bottom, tall trees, cotton trees, and paulownia trees. Under them, there was orchid grass. The garden was full of exquisite flowers. A stream gurgled around the flowers, forming the shape of a half-moon. There was an extremely small arch bridge across the stream. It was carved with white jade and had hundreds of flowers wrapped in clouds. From Afar, it looked like a white moon that was half-rising in the middle of the cluster of flowers. It was as beautiful as a fairyland here. It was no wonder that she felt like she was so happy that she couldn’t think of anything else. As she walked along the corridor, she saw a group of beautiful women chatting together. They were either extremely flirtatious or elegant. When they gathered together, they looked like flowers in the sky. Hundreds of flowers bloomed together, and it was extremely beautiful. Chao Lu secretly looked at them from the side of the corridor and heard them say “Sister”and “Sister”. “Do you know? The little girl who came recently... she looks very cute...” “Yeah, er er is the best at picking people.” “Hey, Hey, I said... Lower Your Voice... that little girl...”a fairy in blue turned her head and looked in Chao Lu’s direction with a gentle smile on her face. Chao Lu blushed slightly and turned to leave secretly. Hearing them laughing happily behind her, she covered her face and jogged all the way. She didn’t even know which courtyard she had entered. The sound of running water came from the first room, which sounded particularly pleasant. Chao Lu was still a child, so she was very curious. She pushed the door open slightly, and the light inside was bright and dazzling. A gentle male voice seemed to be ringing in her ears. “Come... come... come in...” Zhao Lu was in a daze, and she followed the voice and entered. The courtyard was so colorful, and the young birds and green competed with each other. However, she did not expect to push open the door and enter this room with carved beams and painted buildings. Separated by a door, there were two completely different things. They saw a floating phoenix screen carved out of white jade. It was actually a frame carved out of a large birch that was only one inch long every hundred years in the extreme cold mountains of the northern kingdom. The wood was snow-white and slightly green. Against the extremely large and thin white jade, it appeared to be as clear as the face of a Chang’e and the petals of a lotus flower. After going around the screen, they saw that the four walls were snow-white and dazzling. In front of the large window, three curtains hung from the top to the ground, gently swaying and faintly reflecting the light like the mist of early winter. In the middle of the west wall hung an eight-foot-long painting of chasing snow in the long night, framed with plain silk. Although the house was plain, there was a faint sound of flowing water, like the music of the zither and the sky, and it was as clear as water. Zhao Lu was dazzled by this white thorn. She turned around and bumped into a tall figure. This person had a fragrant body. He stood in the same place like a reeds leaning against a jade tree. He moved slightly, but it was like the snow returning to the wind. It was his master, Hua Qing. When he saw Zhao Lu barging in, he slowly closed his phoenix-like eyes and retracted the cold light. When he released it again, it was as gentle as the spring breeze in March. “Little Lu'er is here...” Zhao Lu felt that she had been very rude to barge into her master’s room. She took two steps back and shook her head. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to come in...” “What’s the matter, Little Lu'er?”Hua Qing leaned over and grabbed Zhao Lu’s hand. It was small and soft, but it was also a little calloused. He frowned slightly and gently stroked Zhao Lu with his soft and slender hand. “What a pity...” Zhao Lu smiled foolishly. “I planted it with melons, but I have to say goodbye to Master Hua Qing today. My master will blame me if I delay the farm work again.” Hua Qing suddenly approached her and sniffed her face lightly. Being touched by a beauty like this made Zhao Lu’s back stiffen. “Little Lu'er, you have a natural fragrance. It’s so fragrant. It’s such a pity that such a lovely person is actually a melon farmer. Why Don’t you stay in front of my flowers and let my Mei'er serve you well?” Mei'er was the coquettish woman in red. Er’er loved to call her aunt sour plum. She was so coquettish and beautiful, but it was a mismatched title in Er’er’s mouth. “How are you... ?”He asked again. His eyes were misty and soul-stirring. Chao Lu nodded just like that. Chao Lu lived in front of the flowers and under the moon for another three days. These three days were not considered immortal days, but she was really happy. Auntie Sour Plum was er’er’s housekeeper. She loved to pinch er’er’s ears and yell at him. She was a very nice person. She treated Chao Lu well, and she always went to Chao Lu’s side room to give her food according to the love of the flower. She gave her sweet wine and fragrant fruits happily. Er’er even said jealously that he had never received such treatment. Finally, on the third night, Chao Lu hurriedly got up and went to the courtyard to look for the toilet because she was in a hurry. After guarding the melon field for so many years, the only thing she learned was night vision. She moved freely in the backyard, but then she remembered that this was the first time she ran in the backyard at night. The children in the courtyard were all asleep and snoring could be heard everywhere. Chao Lu found it funny and wanted to tease them. She lay outside the house of some of the children and secretly poked her head in. It would have been better if she hadn’t seen it, but when she did, her eyes instantly widened. She clearly saw one of the children holding the head of the child from the peasant family at the foot of the mountain she had played with during the day, sucking out the blood essence bit by bit. With every mouthful of blood she swallowed, a trace of blood would slip from the corner of her mouth and drip onto the ground. In an instant, another clever child would pounce on her and lick the blood off the ground. Chao Lu immediately felt nauseous. She took a few steps back in horror and covered her mouth, not daring to make a sound. As she ran, she knocked over a few bamboo poles stacked against the wall. Chao Lu did not dare to look back and rolled to the bottom of a small house, trembling. Behind her was Er Er’s room, but Chao Lu did not dare to enter. Although she was honest, she knew that she had probably entered a place that she should not have entered. What before the flowers and under the moon? She probably wouldn’t even know if she died under the flowers. Er-er’s room was brightly lit, and someone was whispering inside. Hua Qing’s voice was heard first. He was still speaking softly and extremely gently. “Do you really like that little girl?” Er-er stuttered and didn’t say anything. Hua Qing continued, “However, I see that this girl’s constitution is very good. If you can refine her profound qi, it can increase your cultivation by leaps and bounds. However, if you don’t make a move today, it will be too late. Don’t drag it out any longer.” When Chao Lu heard this, her eyes suddenly widened, and she didn’t dare to let out any more breath. Only then did er-er’s voice slowly sound out, “Master, can you not want lu-er... Master, er-er is begging you.” “Trash. You went down the mountain to cajole a girl into coming back, but you actually managed to cajole her into this state. What did I teach you?”Hua Qing’s words caused Chao Lu’s mind to fall apart, every scene of Er’er’s appearance became a laughable scene. Cajole? Cajole! The night wind blew on her face, and she, who was originally drowsy, finally sat up with a shiver. She did not dare to stay any longer. She thought of the terrifying scene just now, and it seemed like she would be lying on the ground without any resistance in the next moment, er Er had sucked all the blood essence out of her body. So she ran out of the courtyard with a few leaps and bounds. For the first time, she felt that this courtyard was so deep and scary. The courtyard in the middle of the night was like a huge shadow that enveloped Chao Lu’s entire body. No matter where she went, she would be suppressed by this shadow. The moonlight was hidden in the depths of the dark clouds, and there were a few long howls of night wolves coming from the distant mountain forest, which made this deep house even more sinister and threatening. Fang ran to the main hall, but there was a seductive red woman sitting in the corridor. She chuckled softly. “Child, you want to leave? Aren’t you going to stay for a few more days?” “No... No... Chao Lu was afraid that master would be worried, so she wanted to go back first.”Chao Lu slowly took a few steps back, her face full of anxiety. Aunt Sour Plum’s expression suddenly became stern. “Has the Hua family not treated you well? You want to leave just like that? You didn’t even discuss it with er er?” Zhao lu rubbed her chest and panted as she shook her head repeatedly. She recalled how well Aunt Sour Plum had treated her these past few days and could not help but plead, “Aunt sour plum, can you let me go?” “Let You Go?”Aunt Sour Plum was extremely beautiful in her red dress. “I’ve been serving you well these past few days. How can I let you go so easily?” Hearing this, Zhao Lu felt dizzy. She then remembered that Aunt Sour Plum’s kindness was probably not something she could accept. Perhaps she just wanted to share a few mouthfuls of her blood essence and nourish some of her profound qi. She stepped back slightly and slowly touched her chest with her hand. There was a talisman paper that senior brother Xinan had given her. Senior brother had said that she should not release it unless it was a critical moment, for fear of being discovered by Priest Qingniu. Chao Lu’s eyes widened as she watched aunt sour plum walk towards her with a flirtatious expression. She retreated in a panic and ran back with her head buried. The house was deep and the moonlight was dim. It was still quiet everywhere. Even the lights in the second and second rooms were suddenly extinguished. Only Chao Lu was left, facing aunt sour plum alone. Aunt Sour Plum sneered. The vermilion stamens intertwined into a line and surrounded Chao Lu from behind, instantly binding her tightly. “Child, don’t run anymore. Just accept your fate.”Aunt Sour Plum actually quite liked this quiet and carefree little girl. Unfortunately, they had never been in the same boat, so she clapped her hands with pity and retracted the stamen. Just as Morning Dew was about to be buried in the stamen, at this moment, the palm of the talisman paper in her hand was burning hot. About a dozen fire crows flew out of the talisman paper and the fire broke through the sky. Aunt Sour Plum let out a cry of horror. The stamen quickly closed, and Chao Lu was thrown to the ground. She rolled on the ground, and the fire crows flew around, surrounding aunt sour plum. It was natural for flowers to be afraid of fire. The sudden appearance of the fire crows frightened aunt sour plum so much that she dodged in all directions, screaming continuously. In a moment, half of the big mansion in front of the flowers and under the Moon had been burned down, and everyone ran out in alarm. A Fire Crow went straight into the main hall, and they heard the sound of the collapse coming from inside. The wooden beams crackled, and smoke and dust rose in all directions. Half of the high wall collapsed with a bang.
