The shopkeeper said: "This legend has long been banned from spreading among the people by order of the Wu Kingdom, but according to the news we have heard, after the fall of the Demon Kingdom, many family members were left in the area of Qingwan City and hid everywhere. Legend has it that a group of remnants of the Demon Kingdom fled to the sea from here, and the content of the legend is that "one day the righteous men of the Demon Kingdom will return from the waves again". ”

"Can you be sure that this news is indeed true, and not the fog arranged by the Demon Dao?" I asked, a little uneasy.

The shopkeeper said: "This news is ninety percent credible, and we have found out that the first person who spread this statement for disobeying the ban of the Wu State was publicly executed in Qingwan City two hundred and thirty years ago. To date, there have been 93 such cases recorded over a period of more than 200 years. ”

I nodded and said, "Well, then this news should be credible." The eight relics of the demon kingdom overseas of this Wu country are in that mist. By the way, is there anyone else here besides us at the moment?"

The shopkeeper said: "Because Qianjimen is in the territory of Wu Kingdom, Lu Chongming of Qianjimen has arrived nine days ago, and he is currently staying in the inn. ”

"How much do you know about this person, what has he been doing in Qingwan City all these days?" I asked carefully. Because, I didn't know anything about this Lu Chongming before, and this mission is so important, I have to be cautious.

The shopkeeper said: "Lu Chongming is a proud disciple of the deputy head of the Thousand Machine Sect, and his puppet technique is completely different from Gong Yiyao. Lu Chongming himself does not have particularly strong combat power, he mainly relies on his ever-changing puppets. Although he also won the third place in the World Heroes Conference, according to our estimates, if he participates in this World Heroes Conference with his strength, he should only be able to barely enter the round-robin competition, and his strength should only be stronger than Yue Min. ”

I nodded and said, "Okay, it's better than Yue Min, as long as you don't lag behind, I mainly need their puppet technique of the Thousand Machine Gate." And what about his personality?"

The shopkeeper said: "This person loves to study puppetry, and his personality is also very stable, a little old-fashioned. Lu Chongming basically hasn't gone out much in the past few days since he came, just locking himself in his room all day. ”

"Okay, I see, thank you guys. I'm going to meet this Lu Chongming now. "With that, I took Yu Qinrui out of the secret room...

Yu Qinrui and I went to the second floor of the inn and knocked on Lu Chongming's room. The door opened, and out came a man in a dark blue shirt and black trousers, dressed in a simple outfit, about twenty-eight or nineteen years old. This man has a darker complexion, a broad, sturdy figure, and a hint of maturity and composure revealed in his ordinary appearance, which is very much in line with the image of a craftsman in my mind.

Lu Chongming saw us dressed in disguise, and asked cautiously in confusion: "Dare to ask the two of you what's the matter?"

I smiled and said to Lu Chongming: "In order not to attract attention, I came all the way in disguise." Keeping you waiting. ”

Lu Chongming still said cautiously: "Okay, let's talk first." Although Lu Chongming let us enter the house, he was still careful to guard us, and his reaction made me very satisfied.

After entering the room, I said bluntly: "Hello, let's introduce ourselves first, I am You Yuzhen of the Kunlun Sect, and this is Yuqin Rui of the Jade Frost Palace." There are so many people in Middle-earth who are paying attention to me now, so that's all we can do for this mission. ”

"Hehe, the ruling elder of the Kunlun faction is named Zhenzhongzhou, but who said that he is him, I don't know if your Excellency has any evidence?" Lu Chongmingyi didn't easily believe my words.

Although I am more and more satisfied with Lu Chongming's reaction, the fact that I am asked to come up with the voucher really stumps me. I asked with some difficulty: "Well, I don't have anything distinctive, how do you think I can prove my identity? By the way, do you think my wine gourd is okay?"

Lu Chongming didn't take my wine gourd, he just carefully observed the gourd in my hand, and then he took a step back and saluted me respectfully and said: "Qianjimen disciple Lu Chongming has seen Uncle You, the disciple has been offended, and I hope Uncle will forgive me." ”

I smiled and said, "Hurry up, you are too polite, your cautious character is very good, this mission is full of crises, and you need such a cautious character." How did you confirm my identity through my gourd?"

Lu Chongming replied respectfully: "Uncle You's wine gourd formation is exquisite, and this gourd is even more expensive, and I am afraid that Uncle You is the only one who can spend so much effort on the wine gourd." ”

"Haha, are you praising me, or are you saying that I don't do my job? But it's okay, at least you're still praising me for the subtlety of the formation. I turned back to Yu Qinrui and said, "By the way, this is a disciple of a Supreme Elder of the Jade Frost Palace, and she is my senior sister. ”

After hearing this, Lu Chongming saluted Yu Qinrui respectfully and said, "Lu Chongming has seen Uncle Yu. ”

Yu Qinrui nodded slightly, in response to Lu Chongming. Lu Chongming looked at Yu Qinrui being wrapped tightly, with a mask on his face, and couldn't help asking, "Forgive Chongming for being rude, I don't know why Uncle Yu is dressed like this?"

"She's so pretty, it's too conspicuous not to be like this. I smiled again and said to Yu Qinrui: "Sister Rui'er, it's hard for you this way, pick all those things quickly." ”

After Lu Chongming saw Yu Qinrui's appearance, he couldn't help but say with some emotion: "Uncle Yu's beauty is indeed... Lu Chongming found that he was a little out of shape, and quickly turned back to me and asked, "By the way, Uncle You, I don't know what mission we are going to perform this time?"

"Ah, didn't anyone tell you before you came?" I asked, a little surprised.

Lu Chongming said: "Before I came, Master told me to cooperate with Uncle You to complete a very dangerous and important mission, because this matter is top secret, so I won't tell me everything about the mission before I meet Uncle You, I don't know if Uncle You can say it now, so that Chongming can make some preparations in advance." ”

I nodded and said, "Okay, Qianjimen is really thorough, then I'll tell you the content of this mission now... ”

In the following time, I told Lu Chongming in detail about the causes and consequences of our mission. Lu Chongming was also shocked after hearing this, because he was not taken to Dayu Country by Qianjimen to participate in the previous Demon Expedition Council, so he heard many things from me for the first time.

Lu Chongming said frankly that although he knew that the task given to him this time must be unusual, he did not expect that this incident would be related to the fate of the entire Central Continent. In the end, Lu Chongming hoped to give him a few days, and he wanted to make some adjustments to his puppet so that he could better complete this mission.
