Chapter 137: A Blank Past
A green leaf tumbled a few times from the old eaves tiles, then floated in the wind, swept through the alley, and fell into the distance. In the deserted shop www.biquge.info of the pen & fun & pavilion, there are two cups of hot tea in a pot, and the hot water vapor rises from the clear tea water, floating in the air, exuding a unique fragrance.
"How does it taste? It's a rare and good tea. Lu Chen asked Lao Madao.
The old horse chirped a few times, and then said, "I can't drink it, it feels similar to my coarse tea." ”
"Rough man!" Lu Chen glanced at him with disdain, shook his head, took another sip of the teacup in his hand, and said, "You smell this aroma, and the taste of the aftertaste in your mouth, it is at least ten times better than your broken tea!"
Lao Ma grinned and said, "I still think that my black tea is strong enough and comfortable to drink, this kind of tea is too weak and has no taste." ”
Lu Chen waved his hand at him, looking desperate for the fat man's taste.
Lao Ma smiled, kicked over a package from the side, put it on the table, and then said to Lu Chen: "These are the things you want, I have bought them all." I said you have nothing to do with these messy things, those bones are barely considered spiritual materials, what do you want to do with the cinnabar rune pen, do you want to draw talismans?"
He glared at Lu Chen and said, "I remember that you shouldn't have learned this skill." ”
Lu Chen sneered, casually took the package and put it beside him, and then unceremoniously disdainful: "Let's not talk about whether I can use this Dao method, just with my talent, what can I learn, how much can you know about me? ”
“…… Why do I think you're bragging?"

The alley outside the house is deep and silent, and the fragrance of tea curls in the house, and two people sit opposite each other.
"Last time you asked me to check on those two women, I recently got some news back. The old horse lowered his voice and said to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen's hand that was pouring tea paused slightly, and then said, "You say." ”
"There is nothing unusual about Su Qingjun, but the little girl from the Bai family seems to be a little weird. ”
Lu Chen's brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't speak.
"Speaking of which, these two people are really hard to check, and now they are treasures in the eyes of each family, and it is too late to guard against them. But fortunately, the two of them are famous, so some stories and rumors and the like still spread a little bit in private. The old horse didn't immediately say what was strange, but sighed first.
"The rumors?" Lu Chen glanced at him and said, "Is that thing credible?"
Lao Ma shrugged his shoulders and said, "No way, these two girls are now being looked at by those two families and the Kunlun faction, and if the investigation is a little bigger, they will startle the snake, so they can only take their time." Do you want to hear these rumors, if you don't want to hear them, just wait a little longer, and see what else I can hear about and come back. ”
Lu Chen took a sip of tea and said, "Anyway, I'm idle, let's hear it." ”
"Su Qingjun was the daughter of the long house when she was a child, and she was confirmed to be talented early, so she has always been favored by the Su family and regarded as a figure like a pearl in the palm of her hand. She is the best in every step, ask the best gentleman to read and write, practice the best and most suitable exercises, be intelligent, knowledgeable, and have a shy face, anyway, I have never seen such a perfect woman. ”
Lao Ma sighed and said with emotion: "I don't know which man will have this blessing in the future and be able to form a Taoist couple with such a woman." ”
Lu Chen said on the side: "Others don't know, I don't think you have much hope." ”
Lao Ma said angrily: "You talk a lot, as if you have hope." ”
Lu Chen laughed, raised the teacup and drank it all.
Lao Ma ignored him and continued: "Compared to Su Qingjun, there is something strange about the little girl of White Lotus. It is said that she is not from the Bai family's descendants, but the child of a distant relative, and no one has even heard of her two years ago, as if overnight, the Bai family suddenly had such a peerless genius. ”
Lu Chen slowly put down the wine glass, looked at the old horse, and it happened that the old horse was also looking at him, the two looked at each other for a moment, Lu Chen nodded, and said, "It sounds like there is something strange about it." ”
Lao Ma said: "I have inquired carefully, but all the news is in the past two years, and when the little girl was eight or nine years old before, it was all blank, and no one mentioned it at all, and no one seemed to know." ”
Lu Chen's fingers rubbed lightly on the table, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "But if there is a problem with Bai Lian's origin, it is impossible for the Kunlun Sect to allow her to be accepted by Bai Chen Zhenjun." ”
Lao Ma nodded and said, "Of course, what kind of status is Bai Chen's true monarch, his heirs must be investigated clearly and thoroughly by the Kunlun faction." ”
Lu Chen thought for a while and said, "During the few days I have been on Kunlun Mountain, I have heard several rumors about Bai Chen Zhenjun and the Bai family in private, is there a relationship between them?"
Lao Ma immediately shook his head and said, "I know this, it really doesn't matter." Bai Chen is the name given by the ancestor of Tianhong in the past, and it should be just a coincidence that there is a white character. ”
Lu Chen let out a "hmm" and said, "Then let's continue to investigate, Su Qingjun's side will slow down first, and this girl Bailian should investigate carefully, especially her experience before she came to the Bai family, it is best to dig it out." ”
The old horse glanced at him and said, "What have you discovered, why are you keeping an eye on this ten-year-old girl? If there is anything wrong, you must tell me." ”
Lu Chen smiled, his face was pale, and said, "I just always think she's a little weird." ”
The old horse shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, I'll check slowly, and you yourself should be careful on the mountain." ”

The next day, the sky light was shining in the clear sky, shining in the incense garden, in a large hall outside the medicine garden, Yi Xin was staying with Yan Luo, making tea for her as usual, and talking with her to relieve her boredom.
The fragrance of tea wafted up, Yan Luo picked up the teacup handed over by Yi Xin and took a sip, then her eyes narrowed slightly, and she exclaimed: "Good tea." ”
Yi Xin grinned on the side, flipped his white palm lightly, and poured a cup of tea for himself.
Yan Luo patted the tea table, sighed, with a little smile, and said: "Practicing and drinking tea, the heart is as calm as water, I heard this realm from my master when I was young, but it is not until now that I vaguely feel a little like this." ”
Yi Xin said with a smile on the side: "How is it possible, Uncle Shi, your Taoism is so high, you must have already surpassed the realm that Shizu said." ”
Yan Luo glared at her, scolded with a smile, and said, "Little Nizi, I'm a fool! My master is a serious top Yuanying real person, where can I compare to her old man." ”
Yi Xin stuck out his tongue.
Yan Luo drank the tea in her hand, put the cup on the tea tray, and Yi Xin next to her came over and added it for her, and said at the same time: "Uncle, you see that it's been a while, why hasn't my master moved yet?"
Yan Luo was silent for a moment, and a trace of worry seemed to pass through her eyes, and said, "Yes, it stands to reason that you shouldn't delay for so long, could it be that you encountered some big problem when breaking through the barrier of life and death?"
Yi Xin was taken aback and said, "What, is my master in danger?"
Yan Luo said: "Life and death are a matter of life and death, if you pass, you will live, and if you retreat, there will be great hardships and dangers, isn't that what it means, there are always risks." ”
"Hey......" Yi Xin was a little distracted, and only sighed softly after a while.
Yan Luo looked at her appearance, couldn't help touching her face, and said softly: "It's okay, although that old guy is not very serious on weekdays, he has a cheap mouth, and he can't die if he thinks about it." ”
Yi Xin smiled reluctantly and said, "I know, I hope that Master will be auspicious." ”
When Yan Luo was about to say something more, she suddenly heard footsteps outside the house, and after a while, a crisp and pleasant voice came in, saying, "Uncle Yan Luo is here, disciple Su Qingjun, I have come to see you." ”
Yan Luo and Yi Xin were stunned for a moment, then sat down separately and said, "Here, you come in." ”
A faint red shadow flashed, and Su Qingjun, who was wearing a beautiful red feather shawl, walked in, first saluted Yan Luo, and said with a smile: "I've seen Uncle Yan Luo." ”
Yan Luo smiled and said, "You are also a Jindan monk now, you don't have to be so polite, come and sit together." ”
Su Qingjun said with a gentle smile, "Thank you, uncle." He walked over with that.
Next to him, Yi Xin stood up and smiled at Su Qingjun: "Sister Su, you are here." ”
Su Qingjun smiled at her and said, "Yes, I haven't seen my sister for a few days, and I seem to be a little more handsome." ”
Yi Xin smiled, poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Su Qingjun, and said, "Sister drink tea." ”
Su Qingjun thanked her, took a sip, and said to Yan Luo: "Uncle Shi, I came to thank you this time. ”
Yan Luo waved her hand and said, "A little thing is not enough to worry about." ”
Su Qingjun said sincerely: "It's not easy to refine 'Red Podan', not to mention the spiritual materials consumed, you spend your time refining the spirit pill for me to help me break through the realm of Jindan, this kindness, Qingjun is unforgettable." Even my father specially told me to be respectful and grateful to my uncle. ”
As she spoke, she took out a jade box from her side, held it in both hands and handed it to Yan Luo, and said, "A little heart, you can't repay Uncle Shi's kindness, just in case, please accept it." ”
Yan Luo smiled, looked at Su Qingjun for a moment, then took the jade box, and sighed: "Your father is really lucky, I really feel sorry for you to give birth to such an outstanding daughter." ”
Su Qingjun lowered her head slightly, her face showed a slight blush, and she looked even more beautiful like a fairy, like a lily swaying in the wind, and said, "Uncle Shi has won the award." ”
Yan Luo looked at her for a moment and said with a smile: "Seeing that your breath is calm, is this the realm almost stabilized?"
Su Qingjun said: "It's almost, but I'm still a little flustered and short of breath when I am cultivating recently." My tutor has instructed me to take some 'eagle fruit' in the near future, and it will be eliminated in about a month. ”
Yan Luo nodded and said, "Well, the Eagle Fruit is indeed of great help to your cultivation of the 'Dark Moon Technique', and what your master said is right." ”
Su Qingjun smiled, stood up and said, "So Qingjun came over this time, and I still have to ask for your help." (To be continued.) )
