Chapter 502: Reasoning
There were no more accidents along the way, and after dawn, the group arrived in Xiancheng and returned to Tianlong Mountain.
Tianlong Mountain is where the main hall of the True Immortal League is located, and it has been operated for hundreds of thousands of years, so it is naturally the safest place in the world, and there is no need to worry about people from the Demon Sect jumping out to shout and kill.
All the way to the front of the Kunlun Palace, the people and horses of the Fuyun Division dispersed, and the leading few still had to find the blood warbler to report, Su Qingjun and the other three Kunlun faction also completed the task, and after discussing a few words with Lu Chen, they also left.
Before leaving, Lu Chen also deliberately glanced at Su Qingjun, only to see that this woman's demeanor was gentle, and she should be in a good mood.
When he entered the main hall, he took the remaining relatives and friends of the Chen family to meet Chen Yan, and naturally it was a scene of mixed joy and sorrow. In fact, many people had died before they arrived, but fortunately, Mrs. Chen and their two children were rescued and escorted here "safe and sound".
Chen Yan hugged his wife and children and cried, the scene was touching, and then he looked at his relatives and friends, and found that there were still several relatives among them, including his parents, and this time he was angry and sad, crying and worshipping on the ground.
Lu Chen watched for a while, then quietly retreated, walked to the Kunlun Hall by himself, already had an extra jar of wine in his hand, and then leaned on the high threshold and looked at the distant sky, gulping down.
The old horse didn't know when he appeared outside the main hall, walked all the way, and when he got closer, he first glanced at the wine jar in Lu Chen's hand, and saw that it was half empty, so he couldn't help frowning, and said to Lu Chen: "I said, you've been drinking more and more lately, and the wine hurts your body." ”
Lu Chen smiled and said, "What kind of body are people in our cultivation path, and are we still afraid of being hurt by alcohol? Only ordinary mortals have this kind of trouble, and it is not in the way." ”
Lao Ma thought in his heart, it is true, for so many years, it is indeed rare to hear of a monk who has been damaged by alcoholism, but he still said: "Even so, but drunkenness can indeed confuse the mind, and it is still a little detrimental to cultivation after all, so don't indulge in it." ”
Lu Chen laughed, patted Lao Ma's shoulder, and said with a smile: "From the beginning of Qingshuitang Village to the present, we have been drinking for more than ten years, when did something happen?" ”
"Hmm. The old horse answered, and did not mention the matter, then turned his head to look at the depths of the hall, and said, "How is it inside?"
Lu Chen hugged the wine jar, sat down on the threshold, and said after a while: "I am probably still comforting those who have walked through the ghost gate." ”
Lao Ma sighed, sat down beside Lu Chen, raised his eyes and looked at the sky in the distance, and after a while, he suddenly said, "It's probably better not to have a family member in our business." ”
Lu Chen took a sip of wine and did not answer him.
Lao Ma didn't care, but said lightly: "Without family and friends, there will be no scruples, no scruples, no giving people a handle, and no shrinking back when doing things, otherwise, even if you are a tough man, you will be played with by others." ”
Lu Chen smiled and said, "You're right, but is the kind of life like you said still a human life?"
Lao Ma was silent for a while, and said, "Whether it's a human life or not, haven't you been living for decades?"
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, then laughed, stood up and stretched, and suddenly stretched out his foot and kicked the old horse.
The old horse smiled and let go, Lu Chen shook his head, his face was calm, but his eyes were deep, and he couldn't see what emotions were there.
Lao Ma stood with him for a while, and then said, "I'll go to the back to take a look, now that I've helped him bring his family over, I'm going to start doing big things." ”
Lu Chen nodded, but after the old horse took a few steps, he suddenly called out to him and said, "Old horse." ”
"Huh?" the old horse looked back at him.
Lu Chen looked at him and said in a calm tone: "When you talked about living alone just now, you only said 'you' to me, not the 'we' you often said when you were struggling in the village a few years ago. He looked at the old horse with a smile and said, "What does this mean, could it be that you are different from me, do you already have any relatives, friends and family members?"
Lao Ma's face changed slightly, and then he laughed and scolded with a smile: "Let go of your shit! Lao Tzu has been a single person all his life, and he was harmed by your lonely star." As he spoke, he snorted, and then Shi Shiran went.
Lu Chen smiled and looked at the back of the old horse, and after his figure gradually disappeared, the smile on his face slowly converged, becoming a little cold, and with a little bitterness.
He turned around and glanced at the sky outside the main hall, the bright sky light sprinkled on his body, which seemed to make Lu Chen feel a little uncomfortable, and narrowed his eyes slightly. He took a step back and stood behind the heavy door of the main hall, where there was a shadow that blocked out the light and made his expression seem to lighten.
Then, I saw him think for a while, picked up the wine jar and took a big sip of wine, and then whispered to himself, "God hates the devil, and it is you who are the one who hates the devil......"
※※※
If you stay in the dark for too long, you will not get used to the light of daylight.
Or, he had long been accustomed to the loneliness in the shadows, if he had never seen the warmth in the light.
It's like a lonely child, who longs too much for that bit of warmth, so he will subconsciously ask for it, pursue it, and then forget the shadow behind him, and will unconsciously devour others.
When dusk fell again, Chen Yan, who was a little tired on his face, walked out with the old horse, walked all the way to the Kunlun Hall, and found that Lu Chen did not seem to have the demeanor of the true monarch at the moment, but sat directly on the ground behind the gate with no temperament, and sat quietly in that somewhat dim shadow.
Beside him, there were also two empty wine jars.
Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, and Lao Ma frowned, a little worried, but the next moment, when Lu Chen looked up at them, the unusually bright and sharp eyes still made their hearts shake.
After a while, Chen Yan was the first to react, took a step forward, saluted Lu Chen, and said solemnly: "Thank you Lu Gongzi for saving my family and allowing them to escape the catastrophe. ”
Lu Chen stood up, supported him, patted him on the shoulder, sighed again, and said, "Speaking of which, I also feel a little guilty, and there are still a few relatives and friends of your family who have not been saved, so I can't help it." ”
Chen Yan's eyes were slightly red, and he shook his head and said: "Childe doesn't have to worry too much, this matter is God's will, and I am already satisfied to be able to save the two children." As for the rest," he gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "I will have something to pay for in the future." ”
Life is like turning a book, and it changes too fast.
Lu Chen muttered lightly in his heart, and then asked, "Are Mrs. Zun and the two sons okay now?"
Chen Yan said: "They drove all night, and they were too frightened, and now they have fallen asleep. However, the cheap inner has talked to me about the son several times before, only praising the son's high righteousness, saving my family is less than the life and death of water and fire, it is the great benefactor of my Chen family, and also told me to serve the son and avenge the family. ”
Lu Chen was silent for a moment, and then bowed his head and said, "Mrs. Zun is really a sensible person. ”
