Chapter 431: Lu Xiuyue
Yun Li didn't bring any gifts this time, so he gave Lin Changqing a string of Buddhist beads that he found on Langbo Street in the morning, Lin Changqing liked this kind of thing very much, and saw that this string of Buddhist beads was not so precious, so he accepted it, but Yun Li later added a sentence for him to take it, and it was not, because in this string of Buddhist beads, one of them was polished with relics, but the color and texture were very similar to other beads, and it was difficult to distinguish them without careful observation, and the value of this string of Buddhist beads can be imagined.

Since there were still things to do at night, Yun Li sat at their house for a while and left, Lin Changqing wanted to see him off, but Yun Li persuaded him, the person he came to meet this time was not simple, he was very sure that he was not followed by any eyes and ears, but some things were better to be careful, he didn't want to cause any trouble to this old friend.
After leaving Lin Changqing's house, he rushed to a house on the outskirts of Lang Bo Street according to the address, the suburbs at night were very quiet, not as lively as the tourist area, Yunli quickly found his destination, this house looked nothing special at a glance, but when he pushed the door and walked in, he could see a white strip hanging on the door of the main house, candles were lit on both sides, and some offerings were piled up, it seemed that a funeral was going on.
Yun Li confirmed a few times, the place pointed by the other party was indeed here, but he didn't know what the purpose was to make such a play, he entered without fear, there were not many people in the room, an old woman with gray hair sat on the side of the mourning hall with her eyes closed, her expression was very peaceful, there was no sense of sadness at all, there was a young man about fourteen or fifteen years old beside her, throwing paper money and other offerings into the brazier.
Yun Li looked at the photo on the mourning hall, his thoughts suddenly couldn't hold it, and the doubts in his heart overlapped, this scene seemed familiar, and he couldn't tell which one Mo Chen, the old guy, was going to play this time, because the photo on the mourning hall was Mo Chen himself, and this time it was the second time he came back to attend his funeral.
Just when Yunli was puzzled, the old woman suddenly opened her eyes and looked at him, Yunli was very unnatural by her, this person is not simple, he only then focused his attention on this old woman, and he can basically determine who this is, she has a very similar aura to Lu Dong, which Yunli is quite sure, and before he can ask, the old woman said:
"You're a step late, he went quietly yesterday morning, I have found someone to cremate the body, and when the matter here is dealt with, I will take his ashes back to his hometown in Singapore."
"It shouldn't be fake this time, you two are very good at this, he shouldn't be an old man, let's turn this trick out and play again." Not seeing Mo Chen himself, Yun Li couldn't confirm whether he was really dead, and remembering that this old fox had fooled himself like before, he couldn't help but ask out loud.
"Actually, people like us, there is not much difference between living and dying, you should know my identity, officially introduce, my name is Lu Xiuyue, I heard about Lu Qiu and Lu Dong, no matter what, I want to thank you and bring the group of little guys of the Lu family out of the Wa Emperor Palace." The old woman replied kindly, not feeling the slightest wave of emotion in her tone.
This old woman is Lu Xiuyue, this is certain, as for whether Mo Chen really died like this, he still can't be sure, but the fact should be so, after all, even Lu Xiuyue appeared here, there should be nothing strange about this matter.
The letter he received was written by Mo Chen to him, since he took the initiative to invite him to meet, he shouldn't have played any tricks on himself, but he didn't expect him to go without waiting for him to come, this should be an accident, Yun Li just wanted to ask the reason, Lu Xiuyue waved his hand at him and said:
"You give him a stick of incense first, since Ah Ci didn't come, you will also send this heart on her behalf, you all know the truth of the matter, there are not many discrepancies, you still want to know more details, I can give you an answer at any time, I am also one of the masterminds behind the incident, he knows, I know everything."
Since she said so, Yunli did it, the young man next to Lu Xiuyue was very knowledgeable, and handed him a long incense, Yunli didn't know what their customs were, and he hadn't given incense to anyone before, after lighting the long incense in the brazier, he learned the habits of the villagers in Shanglu Village when they sacrificed, knelt in the center of the mourning hall with the incense in his hands, bowed three times to Mo Chen's posthumous photo, and then inserted the incense into the incense basin, and after he finished doing this, Lu Xiuyue spoke again:
"He has been in very poor health recently, and it is estimated that he does not have many days to live, so he will arrange the aftermath one by one, and in the end he still can't rest assured that Ah Ci wants to see her, so he wrote that letter to you, but unfortunately he didn't wait for you to come, then I can only end his last wish for him, if you have anything you want to ask, I can answer you directly now, and then we will talk about other matters."
Yun Li guessed well, this old fox should have something to do with himself and Lu Ci, but he searched in his mind, it seems that there is nothing to ask, and he basically knows everything he can know, if the Lu family wants to hide them, it is estimated that Lu Xiuyue will not say it, so he shook his head at Lu Xiuyue and replied:
"Let's go straight to the topic, since Mo Lao has left, I have nothing to pursue, if the truth of the incident is true, then Mo Lao is Lu Ci's savior, I agree with this point, and I am willing to give him to fulfill his last wish."
Yun Li's answer surprised Lu Xiuyue a little, and soon she changed her appreciative gaze and nodded to Yun Li: "Sure enough, it is the dragon among people, if there are not so many misunderstandings and contradictions between us, we don't have to come to this point... Go down and rest, boy, and call your eldest brother over and say that the guest has arrived. ”
Lu Xiuyue was halfway through the words, then turned to the young man and commanded, the young man immediately stood up after hearing the sound and walked quickly to the house, not long after, a middle-aged man with gray hair and a rather haggard face walked out, Yun Li had a very familiar feeling when he saw him, this person is so similar to that person, but looking at his face is at least fifty years old, could it be his direct elder?
Just when Yunli was puzzled, the middle-aged man came directly to Yunli and looked at him with a smile, which embarrassed Yunli for a while before he laughed and asked, "I haven't seen you for long, and you don't recognize me so soon?" ”
As soon as he heard this voice, Yun Li immediately connected this person with the person in his mind, but he couldn't accept this situation for a while, and blurted out: "You are Lu Kang... Elder brother? ”
The other party nodded to him and said with a smile: "I knew you would be this expression, is there a feeling of traveling to a few decades later?" ”
As soon as he said this, Yun Li was even more sure that he was Lu Kang, and as soon as he remembered their experience in the Wa Emperor Palace, he immediately understood something, and asked urgently: "Shouldn't it be that crescent moon bone that made you look like this, I really didn't recognize you just now, are you okay?" ”
"It's me, it's impossible to say it's good, you can also see the situation, my current body aging has reached the level of a normal person about fifty-five years old, and it's not bad to say bad, because the recent aging situation has stabilized, at least I'm still alive." Lu Kang said frankly to Yunli.
He is Lu Kang, who he hasn't seen for many days, Yun Li couldn't imagine that he would end up like this, and he couldn't imagine why he would appear here, there were many doubts in his heart, he immediately found a key point to ask: "Since you have become the new owner of the crescent moon bone, you should also be immortal, how is it different from the patriarch of the Yu clan, is there something wrong?" ”
Lu Kang smiled bitterly, shook his head and explained: "There is a price to be paid for becoming its master, and my price should be lifespan, as for whether I am immortal now, I am not sure, and I don't have the courage to stab myself with a knife to verify it, but after the crescent moon bone leaves the Wa Emperor Palace, the effectiveness has weakened a lot, and there is no way to do it." ”
Yun Li understood as soon as he heard it, this is indeed a very normal thing, thinking about the suction he felt when he first touched the crescent moon bone, it should be absorbing his own life essence, fortunately he didn't take this ghost thing at that time, otherwise it would be difficult to predict what the consequences would be, but Lu Kang's fate made Yun Li quite emotional, and even had some regrets, how to say that they were also partners who had shared hardships, although there were still many contradictions between him and the Lu family, but Lu Kang's situation made his heart a little uncomfortable.
Seeing Yun Li's expression, Lu Kang stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's good that you still recognize me as a friend, you don't have to put on such an expression, it's like it's my funeral today." ”
Yun Li also smiled, he still couldn't adapt to Lu Kang's appearance, and suddenly thought of something in his heart, so he asked sideways: "You successfully sent the crescent moon bone back to the Lu family, so did you achieve your goal?" Do you think it was worth it? ”
Hearing this question, Lu Kang's expression paused, but he quickly changed to a determined appearance and replied: "It's not a question of whether it's worth it or not, being able to complete this mission for the family is the most glorious moment in my life, and I haven't reached the point where I can't move, and I can still do a little bit for the family." ”
As soon as he said this, Yun Li knew that another Sumeru stone should have been repaired by him, for Lu Kang, it was indeed an incomparably glorious thing to be able to save the treasure of the Lu family that had been inherited for thousands of years, but it was a pity that he himself only got this fate, if there was no such accident, he should be the next head of the Lu family.
