Xinyue was thinking as she walked and didn't know how to report to Master Dongyin. Tell the truth? That would be easier. If you don't tell the truth, it would be against Master's order. What should I do? Xinyue is in a dilemma. Because she knows

Everyone knew that what happened today was a matter of life and death for Third Master Uncle Yun Yan. If the Master knew about it, the consequences would be unimaginable. The most likely result would be that Third Master Uncle was cleared out by Master Dongyin.

It's either death or disability! If he doesn't tell Master Dongyin too much about it in the future, he will suffer the same fate as his third uncle. It's really confusing and makes Xinyue's head swell. At such a young age, she has encountered such a situation.

Big things are really hard for Xinyue to control and I don't know how to handle them.

It was almost time to arrive at Chenyue Temple, and Xinyue simply sat down. She wanted to think carefully before making a decision. However, although she did not encounter any dangers along the way, Xinyue had to take a long detour before returning.

Here, walking is still very slow. It is getting late at this time. Xinyue estimates that it is almost time to make dinner. I don’t know if the water saved is enough? Will I have to go down the mountain to fetch water after I return?

The sun is still bright and the forest is still quiet. But Xinyue is very anxious in her heart. She feels that she should go back soon. Once the water she has saved is not enough, she will have time to collect it. The most important thing is not to go back again.

, Master Dongyin would also be unhappy. She stood up resolutely, gritted her teeth, and Xinyue decided not to tell Master what she saw today. Even though she knew that it would be difficult for Master to get through with her cultivation, she still

I decided to hide it for now and wait until the investigation is clear tomorrow. Xinyue estimates that Master Dongyin will send her to follow the third uncle tomorrow. Since the master has suspicions about the third uncle, she will definitely find a way to find out.

Thinking of this, Xinyue already had an idea. She started to quicken her pace and went straight to the Xikuoyuan where they lived. She wanted to calm herself down and meet Master Dongyin.

"You're back? Have you met your third uncle?"

Master Dongyin sat on her Tai Chi cushion with her eyes slightly closed, meditating and adjusting her breath. When she saw Xinyue walking in quietly, she didn't even raise her head, and just asked slowly.

"Back to Master, Xinyue didn't see Third Master. I ran a long way and didn't see him. Maybe I was looking in the wrong direction. Xinyue is incompetent and is willing to accept Master's punishment!"

Xinyue carefully knelt on the ground, facing Master Dongyin, and answered Master Dongyin's questions piously and sincerely. She observed Master Dongyin's expression, but she was still extremely nervous inside, for fear of making any mistakes.

"At such a young age, I still can't calm myself down. My heartbeat is so fast, which means my cultivation level is not yet high."

There was nothing strange about Master Dongyin's expression. She was still as usual without a trace of a smile, and she looked more and more enigmatic. Xinyue became more and more nervous at this time. She gritted her teeth, adjusted her breath to calm down, and tried her best to show a disapproving expression on her face.

"I was running in a hurry, and it was hot. I was very upset when I didn't find Third Master Uncle. In addition, I was in a hurry to come back from the mountain to fetch water, so I was a little panicked."

"Your third uncle has already carried firewood back twice and is going out again now. But you didn't see her. Why?"

"My grandson is a little playful. When he went out and didn't find Third Master Uncle, he relaxed a little. He wandered and played in the woods for a while before rushing back. How about I go now and pick up Third Master Uncle from another direction?

return."

"By the time you get there, your third uncle may have come back. Get up, stop deceiving yourself, and go down the mountain to get some water."

Xinyue was glad that she had finally passed this test. Although Master Dongyin was a little unhappy, she did not punish her seriously, nor did she get to the bottom of the matter. Xinyue knew that Master Dongyin meant to let her go. Deep down in Tai's heart, he may not necessarily believe Xinyue's lies.

On the path to the foot of the mountain, Xinyue was still thinking about what happened today. She knew that Master Dongyin might not believe her words, and she would have to be more careful in the future. Although it might make Master Dongyin suspicious, she could protect the third division. Xinyue felt that it was worth it to save her from heavy punishment because of her uncle's secret. But she should find an opportunity to remind the third uncle in time and let her rein in the precipice, so that she could escape this disaster safely. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous and she would also be punished. Get involved.

She cautiously waited until breakfast the next day, and while her master and uncle were busy making breakfast, Xinyue quietly came to Master Dongyin and asked her in a nonchalant voice.

"Master, I...will...still go today?"

"Go. We need to find out today. Don't make up nonsense!"

The master's tone was firm, and she turned back to glare at Xinyue. Xinyue's heart skipped a beat, knowing that the master was very dissatisfied with her. So she made further suggestions to the master to show her loyalty and hope to eliminate the suspicion in the master's heart. .

"I will go early today. Master will hold Third Master Uncle back for a while. Please rest assured, Master, I will find out the whereabouts of Third Master Uncle today!"

Master Dongyin did not directly answer Xinyue's words. She just said "hmm" briefly and waved to signal Xinyue to leave her side and go to help the masters.

After breakfast, Xinyue was in high spirits. She hurriedly said hello to her master, master, and uncle, and then went down the mountain with the buckets. She hid the two buckets in a hidden place, and Xinyue looked around. Then she turned to the route she had taken yesterday to find her third uncle, and quickly ran towards the big bluestone. Xinyue estimated that her third uncle Yun Yan would definitely go there today, and she would definitely find out his secret today.

She was still cautious, she was afraid of being discovered, which would not only ruin her plan, but also put herself in danger. Xinyue concluded that those people who associate with Third Master Uncle Yun Yan must not be good people, and she had to be careful Be careful. Fortunately, I didn't meet anyone on the road, and Xinyue arrived at the big bluestone smoothly.

After carefully observing and searching for a while, Xinyue found a dead tree standing upright not far from the big bluestone, hidden in a small patch of low bushes. Xinyue decided to go there to see if she could hide? At first, Yue wanted to climb up a tree and hide, but considering that the branches and leaves of trees in the mountains are not dense, it is difficult to block people. If you get closer and look up, you will be easily discovered. Lying down in the grass will not work, stay away. She couldn't see or hear anything, and it was easy to be discovered when she got close. Xinyue placed her hope on the half of dead wood. She guessed that the half of dead wood must be empty inside. If she was lucky, it would be able to hide people. Yes, Xinyue decided to go over and give it a try.

Taking a closer look, the dead wood was indeed very thick. If it were empty inside, it would definitely be able to accommodate my petite body. But the dead wood that didn't look tall was actually much taller than Xinyue, and it was more than two people taller than her. Xinyue circled around the dead wood. She wanted to choose a suitable angle to climb up and have a look. Xinyue patted the dead wood with her hands, listened to the sound, and kicked it with her feet to test the degree of decay of the dead wood, and then Trying to climb up. It was almost to the top. Xinyue held a raised piece of tree bark with her hands and tried to climb up.

Suddenly, there was a 'snap' sound, and the place where Xinyue moved it with her hands was split straight from the whole dead wood. Xinyue also fell down and fell to the ground. This time, she could see clearly that the inside of the dead wood was completely rotten.

, only the surrounding skin is still standing tenaciously. However, no one can get into the hollow interior. It is occupied by leaves and rotten wood, and the space is very small.

Xinyue tried to dig with a wooden sword, but fortunately, the filling in the dead wood could be taken out easily. Xinyue was overjoyed, and after a while, she dug out the inside of the dead wood with her hands and feet, and tried to get in.

Xinyue was very happy that it could really accommodate her body. The skin of the dead wood that she had removed was restored and hidden inside. Xinyue chose a more severely decayed place in the direction of the big bluestone.

I dug a hole, just in time to see everything next to the big bluestone.

Xinyue just hid in the dead tree hole, waiting for the arrival of the third uncle. Although the tree hole seemed very uncomfortable, it was still bearable. On the contrary, Xinyue felt very safe, even if someone was leaning on this dead tree.
