Chapter 164: The road is narrow
The old horse also fell silent, and after looking at Lu Chen for a while, he took the jar of wine and poured himself a full bowl. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Here, take a sip. He gently raised the wine bowl in front of him, Lu Chen nodded, picked up the wine bowl in his hand and touched him.
"I don't think either of us is a good person. The old horse laughed for a moment, and then said, "You have a lot of blood on your hands, and I have killed people." But what can be done, you and I are both on this path, can we turn back?"
Lu Chen let out a "hmm" and didn't speak.
Lao Ma took another sip of wine, and then said lightly, "As for whether you are cruel or not, this is actually meaningless, could it be that after you are not cruel, others will not kill you?
Lu Chen smiled and said, "You are too good at comforting people." ”
Lao Ma also laughed out loud, then looked at Lu Chen with deep meaning, and said, "I think you seem to be a little strange." ”
"Huh, what do you say?"
Lao Ma said: "You never asked this before, killing is killing, without blinking an eye, that is the original you." But I found that since you went up Kunlun Mountain, there always seems to be something weird. ”
He leaned his chubby body forward, lowered his voice, a little light flashed in his eyes, looked at Lu Chen with a smile, and said, "What's the matter, your conscience has been discovered?
Lu Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and after a while, he suddenly scolded with a smile: "Fuck the good people, Lao Tzu is a good person who specializes in killing good people." As soon as he said that, he turned his hand over, and directly slapped the wine bowl on the old horse's head.
The old horse laughed, retracted his head, and then smiled and waved his hand: "Don't try to touch me, I'm not a good person." We've done all those things all our lives, so don't think about it, can we?"
Lu Chen laughed, then looked up at the sky, above the square courtyard, the square square little lattice big blue sky, as if it was all the world in his eyes.
So, he laughed more and more happily, and even at last he coughed a little and closed his eyes.

"By the way, there's one more thing I want to tell you. The old horse seemed to say to him a little carelessly.
Lu Chen nodded and said, "Well, what is it?"
"I've received some news that someone in the city seems to be secretly checking the cinnabar spirit material recently. ”
Lu Chen's drinking hand paused slightly, then glanced at Lao Ma, and said calmly: "Who is it?"
"It's not clear, it is said that the people who do this are also very careful, and often change their appearance to make people unrecognizable, plus there are so many shops in Kunwu City, and there are many monks who come and go, it is difficult to find. ”
Lu Chen frowned and said, "Then how do you know?"
Lao Ma smiled and said: "People in several big shops have been asked about these things recently, and in addition to inquiring about how much cinnabar is shipped, they have also asked some people who buy a large number of goods what their identities are, their origins, and so on. ”
Lu Chen's brows twitched slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Those shops will casually tell others about this?"
"Of course the average person doesn't. "Lao Ma said," However, when the shopkeepers in a few shops passed the word, it was revealed that they should have seen the tokens of the Kunlun faction. You know, in this Kunwu City, no one dares not to give face to the Kunlun faction. ”
Lu Chen frowned and said, "Kunlun faction?"
Lao Ma said lightly: "I'm thinking about it, it should be that a certain demon cult demon did too much on the mountain some time ago, attracting the attention of famous families." ”
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Can I find you here?"
Lao Ma took a sip of wine from the wine bowl and said, "I can't find it." ”
Lu Chen looked at him and said, "Are you so sure? You must know that this Kunwu City is the territory of the Kunlun Sect, and there is nothing to hide from them here." ”
Lao Ma sneered and said, "That's right, but I didn't buy cinnabar in Kunwu City, so you can't catch me, right?"
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, and after a while, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, and he said, "You guy, didn't you go to other places to buy it?"
Lao Ma sighed and said, "People like me who do dirty work and work hard, in addition to wiping your butts all day long, you must always find some way to live longer." ”
Lu Chen smiled, reached over and patted the old horse's shoulder, and said, "Come on, I know that you are the most powerful in this industry, otherwise, I can't trust my life in your hands." ”
"Get out!" the old horse rebuked him unceremoniously.

"Can you find out who is doing this?" Lu Chen asked Lao Madao.
Lao Ma frowned and said: "There must be this, anyway, it must be someone from the Kunlun faction." ”
Lu Chen said: "No matter what, I still want to know who is secretly dealing with us, even if I want to know the bottom of my heart, there may be a chance to meet on Kunlun Mountain in the future." ”
Lao Ma squinted his eyes, with a smile on his face, and said, "What do you want to do when you meet?"
"Why don't you do it, what can I do?" Lu Chen spread his hands, looking harmless to humans and animals.
The old horse sighed twice, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go check it, but it's not so fast, you still have to be cautious about these things." ”
"I know, there's no hurry. ”

After coming out of the Black Hill Pavilion, leaving the secluded alley, and walking two streets further, the eyes suddenly became lively. There are many shops on both sides of the long street, and there are many monks coming and going like carp crossing the river, and at a glance, it seems that there are people everywhere in the world.
Lu Chen walked quietly on the lively street.
The people around him passed by one by one.
The noise, laughter, scolding, and all the lively sounds seemed to be automatically separated from him by a small distance, difficult to approach, isolated from each other.
It seems that he will always stand outside the hustle and bustle, even if he is actually in it, but he can't really fit into it after all.
He walked slowly, always a little lonely.
It's not a good feeling, and most of the time it's always low-hearted, even if you're used to it, you never like it.
Until, he suddenly saw a familiar figure in front of him.
For some reason, he suddenly wanted to chat and talk to someone, so he caught up with a smile and called out, saying, "Yi Xin." ”
The woman in front was startled, and when she looked back, she was relieved to see that it was Lu Chen, and a little smile appeared on her originally worried face, and said, "Brother Lu, it's you." ”
Lu Chen smiled: "Why are you here?"
Yi Xin said: "It's something at home that asked me to come back, and now I'm about to go back to the mountain." What about you, Brother Lu, I see that you actually have time to come to Kunwu City today, but Sister Feisu's business has already been done?"
Lu Chen said: "But no, don't you know?"
Yi Xin sighed and said, "Well, I haven't had the heart to think about anything else recently, so I've paid attention to my master's side." As he spoke, he roughly told Lu Chen about the situation on the side of Sanzhang Peak.
Lu Chen nodded and said, "No wonder I haven't seen you for the past few days, but if your master has a strange omen, maybe he will go out of the customs at any time, how dare you go down the mountain?"
Yi Xin's face was a little ugly, a little worried, and said with a wry smile: "Since yesterday, there has been no sound in the Sanzhangfeng Cave Mansion. I, I'm also worried about Master, but Uncle Yan Luo said that there will be no news for the time being, so I have to wait slowly, and let me take this opportunity to go down the mountain and have a look. ”
Lu Chen didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to comfort her and said: "Okay, you don't have to worry too much, your Uncle Yan is a hundred times more knowledgeable than us, since she is not in a hurry, there must be no major incident for the time being." ”
Yi Xin nodded lightly, and then said, "Brother Lu, do you still want to walk around this city?" I'm still worried about the master's side, or I'll go back to the mountain first." ”
Lu Chen said: "Let's go together, I have nothing to do anyway." ”
Yi Xin let out an "um", and his face seemed to be gentler.
The two of them turned around and walked, but before they could get out of this lively long street, they suddenly saw a group of several people walking in front of them, and the young men at the head looked a little arrogant and domineering, swaggering, and didn't seem to put the people around them in their eyes.
Lu Chen glanced forward, his brows furrowed slightly, and he just wanted to pull Yi Xin to the side to give way, but suddenly someone in front of him saw him here, and suddenly someone exclaimed, and then I don't know who pointed at Lu Chen and scolded, and suddenly seven or eight people came over, surrounding Lu Chen and Yi Xin in the middle.
Yi Xin was stunned, but then recognized a few people opposite, and said loudly: "Su Qian, Su Wen, what are you going to do?"
Those few are the Su family, led by Su Qian and Su Wen, but Su Mo didn't see it, I don't know if he was beaten too hard by Su Qingjun that day, and his injuries are not healed yet.
Su Qian glanced at Yi Xin, with a slight surprise on his face, and then snorted coldly and said, "It turned out to be you, the little girl of the Yi family." ”
In Kunwu City, the strength of the Su family is far better than that of the Yi family, and on weekdays, Su Qian, Su Wen, Su Mo and other sons and brothers do not have a good face towards Yi Xin, but no matter how you say it, the two families can be regarded as neighbors in the same city, and occasionally the Su family has to go to the Yi family to order tea, so it has always been polite.
At this moment, Su Qian also waved his hand and shouted, "Pull her away." ”
Someone next to him had already rushed over, one person stopped Yi Xin, but the other four or five people caught Lu Chen together.
Lu Chen didn't fight back, from the beginning he had a smile on his face, looked at Su Qian and Su Wen lightly, and then smiled a little, and said, "What, are the two Su Gongzi trying to find me angry?"
Su Qian walked up, with a mocking look on his face, looked at Lu Chen with a disdainful gaze, stretched out a palm and patted Lu Chen's face insultingly, and sneered: "What's the matter, you're not convinced?"
Lu Chen squinted his eyes slightly, and a dark shadow flashed in the depths of his eyes. (To be continued.) )
