Shen Gurong ran behind with all his strength on his short legs, shouting until his voice became hoarse, but he could only watch as Xi Guxing disappeared around the corner in the distance.

A gust of alternating hot and cold wind blew, and Shen Gurong looked around blankly.

Where is this? How do I get back?

Unlike when he returned to Luocheng, his brother would come to look for him every time he got lost. Shen Gurong stood there for a long time, shivering from the wind that alternated between cold and hot, and could only curse and find his way.

This place should be at the junction of Baishang Mountain and Changying Mountain. The wind would be cold and hot at times. Shen Gurong wrapped his little coat tightly and couldn't help but tilt his head and sneeze.

Shen Gurong picked up a few pebbles while searching for tricky words to scold Headmaster Xi. Whenever he encountered a fork in the road, he would turn his back to the road and throw a pebble back to see which direction the pebble would land. Just go wherever you want.

This method never worked before, so he learned it this time and stopped walking wherever the pebbles landed.

In the end, he successfully got lost in the unfamiliar mountains.

Shen Gurong: "..."

Shen Gurong panted and sat on a stone, unable to curse anymore.

He calmed down for a while, looked down at his chubby hands, and tried his best to mobilize even a trace of spiritual power from his spiritual veins.

After trying for a long time, Shen Gurong finally gave up.

The cold and hot winds made Shen Gurong's face turn red. In a place like this where he couldn't see anyone for half a day, even if he waited for half a day, he would still be unable to find anyone. Shen Gurong had to continue to pick up a bunch of small things. Stone, start the blind cat to kill the mouse.

Half a day later, he had finished throwing all the pebbles in his hand and still didn't meet anyone. Instead, he accidentally bumped into a waterfall.

When Shen Gurong saw the white silk-like waterfall, he thought it was terrible.

Such a huge waterfall has never been seen in the areas around Fanjiangju and Zhibaitang in Changying Mountain. So how many roads has he lost?

Shen Gurong almost collapsed. He was so angry that he stamped his feet on the spot for a long time before continuing to find his way with a dull face.

No matter how angry you are, you can't leave yourself here.

Shen Gurong walked along the waterfall and finally came to a deep pool, where the road came to an end.

A huge stone tablet was erected next to the deep pool, with several Chinese characters written on it. The bottom of the stone tablet was covered with thick moss, and it looked like it was old.

The sound of the surrounding waterfalls falling into the deep pool covered up all sounds. Shen Gurong did not hear clearly the sound that sounded like a beast sleeping soundly and panting. He stepped back and raised his little head to read the words on the stone tablet.

"Rain... wind, wind and rain..." Shen Gurong took a few steps back and finally saw the words on the stone tablet.

"The wind and rain hold the deep pool."

Shen Gurong tilted his head and thought about these words for a moment, then Xi Guxing's words suddenly came to mind.

Is Shen Fengxue's fifth senior brother, Chao Jiuxiao... in retreat at a place called "Wind and Rain Pond"?

After Shen Gurong figured it out, he trembled all over. Just as he was about to take a step, he suddenly felt something stepped on his feet, causing him to stumble and fall to the ground.

Shen Gurong let out a "poof" sound, then he lay on the ground with his eyes closed and slipped a few inches, almost hitting his head.

He struggled to get up and glanced back, when his vision suddenly went dark.

The thing that tripped him seemed to be the tip of a giant beast's tail.

Shen Gurong: "..."

Shen Gurong thought of the demonic form of his fifth senior brother - Jiao, and his body shivered again.

Shen Gurong was frightened. He didn't know if he was overly frightened. Even though he knew that there might be a huge dragon coiled around him, he still couldn't control his curiosity about unknown things. Although he was scared, he couldn't help but follow the tip of his tail. Look forward.

The tip of its tail hangs down from behind the stone monument, and then forward is the huge body hanging down into the wind and rain pool, and finally across the deep pool, the dragon's head is leaning on a moss-covered boulder, sleeping with its eyes closed.

It must have slept for too long, and a piece of moss has grown faintly on its body. The color blends in with the boulder. At first glance, it is difficult to tell that there is a dragon coiled around it.

Shen Gurong thought excitedly and fearfully: "Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah! Dragon! Sir! The dragon really exists!"

The gentleman who taught him how to practice calligraphy always read some stories to him in his spare time. Little Gu Rong lay on his lap, raised his head slightly, and asked curiously: "Are those mythical beasts real?"

The gentleman smiled and flipped over a yellowed book cover with his slender fingers: "It's just a legend."

Shen Gurong didn't know whether he was frightened or excited, but his short legs began to feel weak.

The sound of the huge waterfall covered up the sleeping dragon's breathing. Even if the water dropped from the sky into the deep pool, there was not even a single ripple.

Shen Gurong instinctively breathed softly, fearing to wake up the dragon.

He slowly stepped back with his legs, carefully stepped over the dragon's tail, and was about to turn around and run away, when he found that Chao Jiuxiao, who had been sleeping soundly just now, suddenly opened his eyes.

Jiaolong's eyes were bigger than Shen Gurong's head, and his cold vertical pupils stared at Shen Gurong with strong oppression and violence.

Shen Gurong: "..."

Shen Gurong ran away.

There seemed to be an evil ghost chasing him for his life behind him. Shen Gurong never knew that his short legs could run so fast, and he didn't dare to look back to see if Chao Jiuxiao was catching up with him.

He didn't know how long he ran, but he almost couldn't breathe. Just as he was about to stop to take a breath, he suddenly bumped into another person.

Shen Gurong sat down on the ground, looking at the person he hit with red eyes in fear.

Fortunately, Chao Jiuxiao didn't catch up. Shen Gurong bumped into Mu Ban, who had just returned from the rope.

The icing wrapped in paper in Mu Ban's hand was knocked to the ground. He took a few steps back but barely managed to fall. He looked at Shen Gurong who fell to the ground in shock. He was stunned for a long time before he hurriedly came over.

He was about to help Shen Gurong up when he saw his little master suddenly got up and rushed towards him as if he had been frightened.

As if she had seen a savior, Shen Gurong threw herself on Mu Ban with red eyes, stood on tiptoes and hugged his neck, refusing to let go, even her breathing sounded a little like crying.

"Mu...Mu Mu...wu."

Mu Ban: "..."

Mu Ban was knocked back half a step and felt his little master's body trembling slightly. He was stunned for a moment before hugging him, patting Shen Gurong's back gently, and said softly: "Don't be afraid. I’m not afraid anymore.”

Shen Gurong has been embarrassed in front of Mu Ban too many times, and now he is so frightened that he no longer thinks about how to hide himself.

Shen Gurong hugged Mu Ban tightly, panting rapidly, and still said in a slurred manner: "It's just that...big...wow, just look at me...wow!"

Mu Ban: "..."

Mu Ban tried to use his spiritual power and found that he couldn't even read Shen Gurong's heart.

It seemed like he was really scared.

Shen Gurong hugged Mu Ban's neck, wishing he could press himself completely against Mu Ban's body. Mu Ban was so strangled by him that he could hardly breathe, so she had to pat his back to calm him down.

Shen Gurong was still saying: "He...senior brother, he threw me..."

Mu Ban tried to understand his master's words: "You said that the master left you halfway?"

Shen Gurong: "Uh-huh, I can't find it... just the dragon..."

Mu Ban: "You couldn't find the way and met a dragon halfway?"

Shen Gurong: "Jiao Ai!"

Mu Ban: "Jiaolong?"

Shen Gurong nodded.

Mu Ban finally figured it out. When he saw Shen Gurong holding on to him and not letting go, his heart softened. He tried to raise his hand and touched Shen Gurong's head. Shen Gurong made a vague sound, but did not reject it. He buried it in his head. He rubbed the crook of his neck.

Mu Ban: "..."

Mu Ban became a little bolder now. He stroked Shen Gurong and comforted him softly: "You must have strayed into the Wind and Rain Pond by mistake. The fifth uncle is in retreat there."

Shen Gurong's eyes turned red, and his toes hurt a little when he stood on tiptoe. He slowly let go of Mu Ban's neck and whispered, "Will you chase me?"

He was full of milky smell, and even when he spoke, his breath had a milky fragrance that even Mu Ban couldn't resist. Mu Ban felt as if his heart had been scratched, and even his voice became softer.

"We won't chase him." Mu Ban raised his hand to help him loosen the loose ice fiber, and said softly, "Let's go back to Fanjiangju together."

Shen Gurong was in shock. After being comforted by Mu Ban for several times, he regained his consciousness.

When he came back to his senses, he realized that he was clinging to Mu's banishment and was embarrassed. He was stunned for a moment and immediately felt ashamed and angry.

If there was a crack in the ground in front of him, he would dive right into it.

Shen Gurong's ears turned red, and he slowly released his hands holding Mu Ban's neck, and said indifferently: "I...I..."

He said "I" for a long time, feeling so embarrassed that he didn't know how to speak.

Mu Ban forced himself to hold back his smile. He picked up the icing sugar on the ground, pinched a piece of icing sugar mixed with milk and placed it in front of Shen Gurong.

Shen Gurong was feeling ashamed. He smelled the faint fragrance of milk, raised his head slightly and looked at Mu Ban blankly.

Mu Ban said: "Senior Brother Lisuo gave this to us. It's very sweet."

Shen Gurong was stunned for a moment before taking half a step forward.

Because he fell so many times, his little hands were covered with dirt. He wanted to eat the candy but didn't want to squeeze it with his hands, so he had to step forward and directly take the icing on Mu Ban's fingertips.

Mu Ban: "..."

Mu Ban was immediately stunned.

Shen Gurong held the candy in his mouth, his cheeks bulged a little, and he said vaguely: "Yeah, sweet."

Mu Ban suddenly came back to his senses. He coughed dryly, lowered his head and said, "I will take Master back."

Shen Gurong didn't feel embarrassed anymore. He nodded and was about to follow Mu Ban, but he ran too far and his legs were sore and weak. He staggered after half a step.

Mu Ban hurriedly went to help him: "What's wrong?"

Shen Gurong muttered: "My legs are weak."

Mu Ban hesitated for a moment, then took a step forward and said, "Master, I'm offended."

Shen Gurong was still wondering what the offense was, when he felt Mu Ban raise his hands and wrap them around his slender waist, and then tried to hug him hard!
