Chapter 395: Asking for Money
What is a house, a piece of land surrounded by four walls, a few rooms are built, and a few beds are arranged, so that you can sleep in peace and shelter from the wind and rain. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xiancheng is the first prosperous place in the world, but when Lu Chen and Lao Ma stay in their current house, that wall seems to isolate them from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.
The two of them each picked a bedroom, and Lu Chen went to the warehouse to take a large piece of meat from a demon beast and threw it to Ah Tu, and this thing really ran to the grass next to the wall of the courtyard with the meat in his mouth, and lay down, enjoying the food alone, with a beautiful expression.
By the time Lu Chen and Lao Ma packed up their houses separately, settled down and put their luggage away, and returned to the courtyard, it was already dusk. They sat down on the stone table and bench in the courtyard, and saw that the old horse had come out with a set of tea sets as if he were playing tricks, and the hot water was boiling in the kitchen in front of them, and they were all soaked.
Lu Chen was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "You still carry these things with you, I remember that you didn't like to drink with me before?"
Lao Ma nodded, poured a full cup of tea for him, and said: "It's just a habit that has been developed in the past few years, and when I'm older, I don't like to drink too much." ”
Lu Chen's hand holding the teacup paused in mid-air, and then he casually put it to his mouth and took a sip, and said with a smile: "What age are you, and you are embarrassed to say that you are old?" ”
The old horse smiled, then sighed, and said, "Why aren't you old, we've been doing this for more than ten or twenty years, and the two of us are actually long-lived." ”
Lu Chen thought for a while, nodded and said, "Well, it should be forgotten." ”
The old horse snorted twice, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he recalled some of the past, and said: "I remember when I first entered the industry, others told me that if you do it well, you will be powerful and rich, and it is a shortcut to the sky or something, but no one told me that many people who do this business are short-lived." ”
"Haha, didn't the dead bald head pull you into the industry in the first place?" Lu Chen asked with a smile, seeing the old horse shaking his head over there, he seemed to be reminded of his words, and said with a smile, "Of course I was pulled onto the thief ship by the dead bald head." At the beginning, he didn't tell me anything about power and wealth, from beginning to end, he told me what the great truth of justice and heaven in the world. ”
The old horse couldn't help but laugh and shook his head again and again.
Lu Chen smiled: "It's ridiculous, isn't it, but don't say it, I really believed it at the beginning, and if I didn't have this belief, maybe I wouldn't have been able to come back alive from the Demon Sect." ”
Lao Ma smiled, looked at Lu Chen's eyes with a gentle and secret pity, picked up the teapot and poured him another cup of tea.
Lu Chen tapped his fingers on the stone tabletop, raised his head to look at the dusk scenery on the horizon, was stunned, and did not speak for a long time. After a while, I suddenly heard the old horse asking, "Then when did you not believe in these things?"
Lu Chen rolled his eyes, squinted at him, pointed at him and smiled: "It's when I lived with you for ten years." ”
Lao Ma hurriedly snorted and said, "Stop talking nonsense, it has something to do with Lao Tzu." Don't you dare to go out and talk nonsense, if it reaches the ears of the true monarch, he will have to kill me. ”
Lu Chen laughed, and the old horse shook his head and sighed: "I'm old, I'm old, I really don't want to do it anymore." What about you, I remember you told me before, you don't seem to have much energy, why did you come all the way to meet Zhenjun this time, and then decided to do it again?"
Lu Chen raised his head and drank all the tea in the cup, as if he was drinking a bowl of spirits, then exhaled lightly and said with a smile: "The dead bald head begged me, I can't save face." Not...... Maybe the great principles of justice just mentioned, in fact, I still have faith in my heart, maybe I don't know at all. ”
"It's strange to believe you!" the old horse scolded with a smile.

When night came, they went back to their rooms, and when the doors were closed, there was only silence and darkness. Ah Tu's body is now too big, and he can no longer sleep with Lu Chen in bed as before, so he was driven to the ground as a matter of course. But fortunately, this big black dog with the blood of a wolf and now a holy beast has rough skin and thick meat, and he is not afraid of the coldness on the ground at all, plus he ate that large piece of demon beast flesh and blood today, and he is full of energy, so soon Lu Chen heard the snoring sound from Ah Tu's side, and it seemed that he was asleep.
It's just that Lu Chen can't sleep.
He lay on the bed, his eyes open, and watched the darkness in silence.
Until dawn.

"I'm going to find the blood warbler today, are you going?" The next morning, Lao Ma came over and knocked on the door and said to Lu Chen.
At this time, Lu Chen had just gotten up, and Atu's lazy dog was still lying on the ground and was sleeping, and he didn't know how long he was going to sleep.
Lu Chen beckoned Lao Ma to walk into the courtyard and asked, "What's so urgent, we only stayed here yesterday, and you're going to look for her today?"
"Ask her for money!" said the old horse confidently.
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment and said, "What money, hasn't she already helped us settle here, and the food has been arranged well enough." ”
Lao Ma sneered and said, "We are going to be 'big things' this time, how can we do it without money and spirit stones in hand?" Besides, do you think she is so kind and arranges so many things for us for no reason?"
Lu Chen suddenly became a little curious, and asked with a smile, "What do you say?"
Lao Ma pointed to the north with his finger, and from a distance, the majestic and tall Tianlong Mountain stood majestically, like a giant guarding this huge city. And at the foot of Tianlong Mountain, it is where the main hall of the True Immortal League is located.
"That's after I went to tell Zhenjun that you were coming, and Zhenjun personally promised that this time it will definitely satisfy us, as long as you work hard, all the treatment will be preferential. ”
Lu Chen's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and smiled: "I see, it seems that there are more than these that can be obtained......
"Nonsense!" Lao Ma rolled his eyes and said, "Look at it, if we don't say it, the blood warbler will definitely not take the initiative to send us money, and I will go over this time, at least I have to ask for one or two thousand spirit stones to come back and spend ...... first."
Lu Chen directly interrupted his words and said, "You are stupid, a promise of a god true monarch, you actually only want one or two thousand, and then ten times!"
The old horse gasped, his eyes widened, and said, "Wouldn't it be too much to ask for so much?" If I anger the blood warbler, maybe she will kick me out of the door on the spot." ”
Lu Chen sneered: "This money is not her own, needless to say, it must have been allocated from the True Immortal Alliance, let's not want it, naturally we will spend it elsewhere." Besides, do you want to have more than tens of thousands of spirit stones on hand, and then go to the fairy city and let's walk around in style?"
The expression on the old horse's face changed, and after a while, he slapped his hands and said fiercely: "What you said is so right, what can we do without money? ”
Lu Chen nodded again and again, and said, "You finally realized, congratulations." ”
The old horse smiled, turned around and walked out, but after walking a few steps, he suddenly glanced back at Lu Chen and said, "Hey, Lu Chen." ”
"Huh?"
Lao Ma said: "When you chatted with me yesterday, did you say something about the great truth of 'justice in the world', maybe you still have some faith in your heart, right?"
Lu Chen frowned and said, "I said it, what's wrong?"
Lao Ma Zhengse said: "Forget these things, believe me, you don't believe in this set at all in your heart!"
"Get out!"
