Volume II: The Conspiracy of the Circle Capital Prologue

12.12 3:20 a.m

"It's already in the Yuandu? ”

"Just get out of that toll booth. Lu Ling turned her head and looked at Tong Ye. "It's time to tell you something you need to know. ”

"Say it. ”

"Our Lu family is a very large wind art family. ”

"How big?"

"Hmm...... What should I say about this?"

"Let's just talk about the quantity. ”

β€œ...... Last year, there were 284 descendants and 140 pure-bloods. ”

"A total of 420 people, a family?"

"yes. ”

"Leafy ......"

Kiripa couldn't help but sigh.

"Speaking of which, what did you just say, the descendants of the servants, the pure-bloods?"

"That's really just a classification, in short, they're all clansmen. Let's talk about pure-blood people first, pure-blood people are actually the descendants of members of the family, that is, the father and mother are the original members of the Lu family, or the family that was friendly with the Lu family in the early years and married for generations, and the descendants of our family members who were born after the festival. For example, my mother is not surnamed Lu, but she comes from a family that has been friendly with our family for generations. The descendants of the servants refer to the offspring born by the combination of family members and those servants after the appearance of the servants. ”

"Doesn't that sound like a difference?"

"That said, I don't know why some people want to separate the two so much every day, no matter what, how much difference there is between a pure-blooded descendant and a servant's descendant. ”

Lu Ling shrugged her nose.

At this time, the car stopped.

The co-pilot's orange turned around.

"It's here. ”

"Oh, good. ”

Kiripa stretched out her hand and gently patted the soft face leaning on her shoulder, accompanied by a soft hum, the girl curled up on the seat did not open her eyes, but arched towards the young man's arms even more presumptuously, humming the words "Brother Kiripha" in a coquettish voice.

The young man had no choice but to push open the door first, holding Warfarin in one hand, and getting out of the carriage, but no matter how careful he was, he could not see where the car was blocked.

So, the girl's head hit the door frame of the car door.

"Whew-"

This unique wake-up call has proven to be quite effective. Hua Farin muttered something in a low voice, rubbed her sleepy eyes, tugged at the corners of Kiriha's clothes, and soon, her body was leaning on the young man's lap again.

"Warfarin, how can I walk like this?"

He had no choice but to pick up Warfarin with one hand and pull the heavy suitcase with the other.

"Hey, you're too fond of your sister, aren't you?"

"Ah, is there it? It's midnight after all......

"Even though that's the case, you're still too spoiled by her. ”

"Then I'll spoil her, who made her my sister. ”

Kiripa laughed, and the hand holding the girl tighter, obviously afraid that she would fall.

The Lu family's house was close in front of him, and the door of the house was not closed, but opened slightly, and a crack flowed out. They pushed the door open and entered the courtyard, where Kiriha was greeted by a huge stone sculpture.

"This is the ancestors. ”

Before he could take a closer look, Lu Ling on the side had already introduced him.

The stone carving is of a woman.

She wore a neat dress and didn't bring any jewelry, only a pair of long earrings hanging from her ears. The hair is tied high, and it looks even more energetic when it hangs down thinly. She carried a bow behind her back and a knife hanging from her waist - it was the "Fei Lian" used by Lu Ling. But to Kiriha's surprise, the skilled craftsman who carved this stone sculpture did not seem to consider showing the woman's heroic posture, but depicted it sitting on the ground with his arms around his knees, his eyes looking into the distance as if thinking about something.

It gives a sense of vast tranquility.

The name of the ancestor is engraved under the stone carving, and the date of birth and death has been born.

Lu Wenji (1322.9-1405.10).

"How long are you going to watch?"

Lu Ling, who was standing in front of her, said impatiently, followed by an old man in his fifties. The old man was dressed in a black suit, with long gray hair, and was not tall, but his body was very tall. He doesn't smile, and from time to time he exudes a sense of seriousness.

"Take them to the lodgings, I must go and see my father first. ”

By the time she had said that, she had disappeared around the corner of the corridor over there.

The old man came over and saluted.

"Please keep up. ”

Kiriba noticed the word "follow", and was a little stunned. He thought to himself, wouldn't the leader normally say the word "follow" instead of "follow"?

And just when he was surprised, the old man had already walked forward on his own, although this speed was not particularly fast, but for Kiripa, this speed really didn't look like he was leading the way for an almost strange guest - although at this time, Kiripa who had become a servant was no longer a guest, but it was the first time he had come here.

He was still holding the sleeping girl in one hand, and pulling the suitcase in the other, which was not light, and wondered why this old man was in such a hurry.

Still, he adapted to the pace. As he went deeper into the ancient mansion, Kiriha found that the mansion was much bigger than he had imagined. The houses in this house are almost all wooden, and the corridors are long and somewhat tortuous. Whenever he came to the end of one of the sections, thinking that there was no road ahead, he would immediately realize that this was only the beginning of the next corridor.

On the inside of the corridor are rooms, and from the faΓ§ade, these rooms are no different, so Kiritha feels a little dazzled, and at the same time, it is inevitable that he feels very small (compared to this behemoth (house)). On the outside of the balustrade is a pool of lotus flowers (of course, by this time it has completely withered, leaving only weed-like stems). In the middle of the pond there are rockeries and various stone carvings. These stone carvings depict some strange monsters.

I don't know how long he walked, he suddenly saw a very large stone sculpture.

Entrenched in the center of the pool, this stone sculpture is about twice the size of the previous one, and depicts a monster with the head of a deer and the body of a bird.

"That's Fei Lian. ”

The old man, who had been silent, paused briefly and spoke.

"Isn't Fei Lian the knife?"

"Fei Lian" originally referred to the "Feng Shen Fei Lian" of the Lu family's totem, and that knife, as the treasure of the family, took the name of the totem. ”

"Totem...... What is that bow that the ancestor of the Lu family is carrying?"

"That's Bai Lan, another treasure of the Lu family. Now in the hands of the two masters. ”

"Who are the two heads of the family?"

"You'll see you later. ”

The old man stopped talking, and led the way in front of himself. Tong Ye had no choice but to sigh helplessly, thinking about all the questions, and wait until tomorrow to see Lu Ling and ask them one by one.

As he walked, he looked around. The old man came down from a corner and led them into a hedged garden with a secluded and quiet cabin. The old man walked to the door, opened it, and handed the key to Kiritha.

"This is where you two are staying tonight, please have a good rest. ”

He saluted, then turned to leave. Kiritha seemed to have known that the old man would probably leave without any delay like this, and he was not surprised in the slightest. He smeared and found the switch of the light at the door, turned on the light, and his vision lit up.

The house is very clean, there are two bedrooms, and the bedrooms are equipped with windows, so you don't feel particularly depressed when you sleep. The windows and doors in the room were closed, but the air didn't smell bad, and it was clear that someone had already come in and opened the windows before, and the air was flowing through.

Tong Ye understood that this must be the result of Lu Ling's orders in advance, and felt a warmth in his heart, and he put his suitcase in the living room. Reaching out and patting the girl in her arms, the girl rubbed her eyes and raised her head in a daze.

"Huh?"

"You go to bed and sleep. ”

"Oh. ”

The girl slowly climbed onto the bed, then grabbed Kiripaba's arm and turned around and hugged her in her arms.

It's like a koala holding a branch.

"Hey, Warfarin, I can't sleep like this. ”

"Brother Tongye sleeps with me. ”

The girl muttered with laughter.

Kiriha thought about it, and felt that maybe Hua Falin was inevitably scared in this strange place, and couldn't bear to refuse the girl, so she lay down on her side and gently put her arm on Hua Falin.

(Is your life in Yuandu about to begin?)

He was dazed, and when he turned around, Warfarin was already asleep.
