Today, the city of Dunhuang has changed hands, and the current lord of the city is the Uighur Vimon.

In just a few years, Dunhuang City has increased its population by nearly 10,000 people, and it has become the key point of the Silk Road.

Lu Qingyu took the unconscious Zihua and lived in an inn called Youlaiju, and when he ordered Xiao Er to lead the horses, he saw the pair of women in black walking into a guest room on the second floor, because the masked woman's resurrection skills were very superb, Lu Qingyu stayed in the room next to the woman, thinking that if Zihua's condition changed, it would be convenient to ask for help.

After settling Zihua, Lu Qingyu went to the lobby downstairs to rest temporarily, and ordered a few steamed buns and two side dishes, but he was so bored that he couldn't eat at all.

Not long after, a team of people came down from upstairs, it was Chu Xingyun, Han Yuxiu and Sikong Rennan.

Chu Xingyun saw Lu Qingyu at a glance, walked over with a sword and a smile, and sat down opposite Lu Qingyu, while Han Yuxiu and Sikong Rennan stood on his left and right like followers.

Lu Qingyu took a look at this pomp and said with a smile: "It's only been less than a year, and the senior brother has 'ascended' to the position of the number one eagle dog in Chiba Tomb, which is really gratifying!" ”

"I just said that after this year's time, junior brother, you can become more modest and cautious, I didn't expect that what you said was still so annoying, what kind of eagle dog is not an eagle dog, it should be a capable assistant!" Chu Xingyun also took great pains to learn the speaking attitude of the person in charge, but unfortunately he was born recklessly after all, just like wearing a dragon robe and not like a prince, his demeanor was far from that of Lu Qingyu.

Han Yuxiu glanced at this pretentious "leader", and his heart was extremely disgusted, but he could only return to a sneer of disdain, while Sikong Rennan stared at the dinner table intently, as if he was listening carefully to Lu Chu's conversation, and as if he was making his own little calculations.

Chu Xingyun looked around left and right, and indeed did not see any trace of the Lord of the Four Houses and Lu Qingyu's personal attendant Butterfly, and couldn't help but sneer proudly: "I can't imagine that such a trivial matter as a martial arts competition and recruiting relatives would have to bother the Venerable Lord of Luoshen Palace to go out in person, could it be that those capable cadres of yours finally abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, so you let the talents of Luoshen Palace wither, so you had to go out in person?" ”

Lu Qingyu said quietly: "I heard that Princess Dai Lisa is stunning in the Western Regions, if I have the heart to get married, I must go out by myself, otherwise I will be cheapened by my subordinates." But you are different, the old man is a lot older, and his daughters are probably the same age as the princess, even if they have the heart, they can't let go of their sons, and the three of you young people have a great chance, but will they fight for the beauty at that time, thus reversing the master-slave relationship is serious. ”

Chu Xingyun didn't seem to hear the meaning of Lu Qingyu's words, and was still pretending to smile elegantly, Han Yuxiu looked down on him even more, and couldn't help but admire Lu Qingyu in his heart, he had heard that he was the most scholarly overlord in today's martial arts, and he really saw it today, what he said just now not only secretly scolded the old man for being improper, but also alluded to Qianyeling, but they were also some people who forgot their righteousness, and at the same time sarcastically Chu Xingyun's martial arts were sparse.

Sikong Rennan, who had always been dull, finally spoke: "Lord of Luoshen Palace, although you and the old man of my family are the same generation, you still need to pay more attention to what you say, the three of us can be used for entertainment at will, and please don't get involved with our old man." ”

Lu Qingyu saw that Sikong Rennan's attitude was quite sincere, so he stopped talking, who knew that Chu Xingyun reacted at this time, and jumped up and said angrily: "How can you use the three of us for entertainment?" As he spoke, he wanted to draw his sword, but Sikong Rennan hurriedly held his hand down, but his mouth was secretly sighing, and Han Xiu leaned into Chu Xingyun's ear and whispered: "We are here to fight in the ring, not to fight in the jungle, and when we came out, the old man also told me not to make a rash move, right?" Although Chu Xingyun was dissatisfied, he still let go of the hand holding the sword, he was actually not a calm person, but whenever he faced Lu Qingyu, that invisible sense of oppression would force him to be hot-headed, and he often did some irrational things.

Han Yuxiu couldn't help but think: "In fact, even if the three of us join forces, we may not be Lu Qingyu's opponent, so if we go to the ring alone, we will have no chance of winning, since we know that Lu Qingyu may go out in person, and the only old man who can compete with him has no reason not to come forward?" He has always been cautious in doing things, and it stands to reason that he will not fight such an uncertain battle, what is he calculating? ”

"Ouch, there's so much fire here! The slave family came to lower the fire-" A soft voice came from the back hall, and then I saw a plump and fair-skinned middle-aged woman open the curtain and walked over, this woman was not beautiful, but she had a coquettish and seductive temperament in her gestures, and her skin was white and delicate, and she was a beauty in such a desert city.

"The proprietress of this shop, named Jin Sanniang, is a widow." Han Hugh said softly to Chu Xingyun.

"Humph! I think she's doing a good job as a widow. As soon as Chu Xingyun saw this Jin Sanniang's contrived demeanor, he felt uncomfortable.

"This ghost weather, even squatting in the house is still too hot! Look at this son, he is so hot that he is sweating profusely, and the slave family is distressed when he looks at it! The woman was making a coquettish gesture, and at the same time took out a piece of brocade from her bosom to wipe Han Yuxiu's forehead, and came to her nose with a thick smell of fat powder.

Han Yuxiu snorted lightly and dodged away in disgust, in fact, there was hot sweat on his forehead, but he was worried that he would really start a war with Lu Qingyu and came out in a hurry.

Jin Sanniang was refused, and she smiled a little reluctantly: "It seems that the slave family's cooling agent is not enough!" She pulled out the fan on her waist and kept fanning the four of them, and her other hand kept pulling the collar, and her snow-white breasts loomed in this pull, which was particularly sultry.

But the eyes of the four people have never shifted, they are still fixed, as long as one person moves slightly, it is bound to start a fierce battle.

Jin Sanniang saw that she didn't respond at all when she saw her charm, she was really a little annoyed, and when she was about to get closer, Sikong Rennan said coldly: "If you want to continue to open the shop and steal the man, hurry up and go to the back hall, otherwise don't blame the uncle's sword for not having long eyes." ”

"Humph!" Jin Sanniang threw away the pu fan fiercely, dodged her feet, crossed her waist and said: "This is the old lady's shop, you actually let me go?" She simply stood in the middle of the two parties, blocking the sight of both sides with her relatively wide body, "No matter how you say it, the old lady is also an official place here, how can you be allowed to come nonsense!" ”

Lu Qingyu, who had not spoken, also had to take a second look at this Jin Sanniang, and he felt a certain kind of Jianghu atmosphere in her. Indeed, this widow has some courage and ability, and she can independently support such a mixed inn, and she is by no means an ordinary idle person, and this alone cannot be despised against her.

Then there was a jingling sound in their ears, and they all looked towards the door, and saw seven men dressed in sackcloth and hats on their heads enter, and the jingling sound was the bell on the edge of their hats.

"Boss, do you still have a room?" The Mai man at the head asked, "Yes, yes, most of them are in the upper room." Jin Sanniang regained her charm and giggled to greet her, "There are a lot of rooms, even ten rooms are enough." ”

The Mai man said again: "No, only three." ”

Jin Sanniang said: "But you one, two, three...... There are seven of them! The Mai man smiled: "There are three of them in one room, and I am in one room." Jin Sanniang pursed her lips, as if she had already said the words she complained about in her heart - seven poor ghosts!

The Mai man also seemed to see her disdain, and said disapprerovingly: "We are very poor! Don't you see that we are so poor that we can only wear sackcloth? Jin Sanniang said with a smile on her face: "What's the matter!" I'll prepare a room for you!" Hurriedly climbed upstairs to do something, and didn't forget to beckon Xiao Er to bring out the grapes and wine in the ice cellar, and let Lu Qingyu and the four of them lower the fire.

In fact, where is Lu Qingyu and Chu Xingyun still fighting now, their eyes are attracted to the seven people crowded into a pile in the northwest corner, no matter how they guess, they can't guess the origin of these people's net worth.

Xiao Er brought the wine up, Chu Xingyun saw that the luminous glass was moist and lovely, the wine was bright red, and there was a burst of cold air, the wine was booming, and he drank a few glasses, and saw Sikong Rennan and Han Hugh swallowing their saliva.

Lu Qingyu also drank two glasses, and suddenly felt that the coolness in his mouth was inexhaustible, and the sweet coolness went straight to his heart and lungs: "Such a beautiful wine, you can't enjoy it, don't fight this fight!" ”

There was not the slightest hint of negotiation in his words.

Today, everyone knows that what he Lu Qingyu wants to do will definitely be done, and no one can force him to do what he doesn't want to do.

Han Yuxiu pulled Xiao Er over and asked in a low voice, "Do you know the origin of these seven people?" ”

Xiao Er replied proudly: "I know, it's from the Gansu Mai Sect." ”

Sikong Rennan said: "Why have I never heard of such a sect?" ”

Xiao Er said: "Your lord is from the Central Plains, so naturally I haven't heard of the Mai Sect, but it is very famous in the northwest, and it is said to be a cult that specializes in cultivating corpses." "Cultivating with corpses?" Chu Xingyun couldn't help but cast his unbelievable gaze on the Mai man who was nesting in a pile again, Lu Qingyu was deaf and clear-sighted, and naturally heard their conversation, and felt a little unappetizing.

A melodious and melodious piano sound came from the courtyard, completely suppressing the murderous aura in the lobby, and everyone was concentrating and listening.

Lu Qingyu listened to the sound of the piano, although she was far less skilled and exquisite than Ye Qiuchi, but it was full of a kind of graceful and lingering feeling, just like a lover's whisper pouring out her heart. For a while, his heart was slightly moved.

Everyone involuntarily gathered in the courtyard, all wanting to see who the person who played the qin was.

I saw the woman with a black veil sitting quietly beside a stone table, her ten fingers plucking the strings flexibly, and the yellow sunlight spread on her body, making her whole body glow with a faint soft light, which seemed sacred and mysterious. Beside her were a few green bamboos that had survived in the desert, already sick and half-dead, but under the impetus of her piano sound, they seemed to have regained some vitality.

It turns out that plants and trees are not ruthless, let alone people?

The masked woman seemed a little nervous to be surrounded by everyone like this, but she was able to calm down immediately, as if she had just remembered that she was also a beautiful woman, and she should have confidently faced everyone's gaze at her.

Lu Qingyu listened carefully for a while, and then remembered that it was time to go and see Zihua's injury, and when she turned around and was about to leave, the masked woman's piano sound stopped abruptly, and she sighed softly, and said softly to Lu Qingyu: "That girl's external injuries can be smeared with my bottle of blood coagulation and muscle cream, and as for the internal injuries, you have to take Lu Zun to run to the Hang Seng store." She took out a bottle of ointment from her arms and threw it to Lu Qingyu.

Lu Qingyu took it and said, "Thank you girl for the medicine, but please also ask the girl to give you a prescription, and you can catch the medicine according to the prescription." ”

The masked woman smiled lightly: "The Venerable Lord of Luoshen Palace seems to rarely say thank you, let alone ask anyone, and now you don't hesitate to surrender to the dignity of a lord for the sake of a mere woman......?" ”

Lu Qingyu said: "Miss Zihua is a friend of the next. For the sake of friends, you can do anything. ”

The masked woman lowered her head gloomily, her voice trembling a little: "Okay! You ask the owner of the pharmacy to give you two coins of cork, three coins of lilies, two coins of turtle plate glue, and five coins of light bamboo leaves. ”

Lu Qingyu thanked her again, and when she was about to leave, she thought that she would have to delay for at least an hour, so Zihua would be quite dangerous, so she regretted that she didn't bring Li You or Zhang Xiaoxia with her when she came out. Looking at the front again, in addition to the stranger on the other hand, there was only some friendship with this seemingly kind masked woman, so I had to bow down and say, "I hope the girl can help take care of my ...... before she comes back." Friend?! ”

The masked woman was silent for a moment and nodded: "Okay!" ”

Hengshengtang is the pharmacy with the most complete reserves of medicinal materials in Dunhuang City, but its fame is not because of this, but the strange regulations set by Zhou Feiqun, the owner of the pharmacy, that is, the cost of seeing a doctor and catching medicine for Jianghu people is halved, but they must perform a few wonderful martial arts, or knives or swords or fists and feet, if this Jianghu person is willing to pay all the money for medicine and refuses to demonstrate martial arts, then he will also refuse to give him medicine.

Because he knows that the people in the rivers and lakes are generally eager to seek medicine, and they are not very rich.

As soon as Lu Qingyu entered the medicine hall, he was recognized by Boss Zhou as a master, the reason is that only masters are worthy of using the Xiangfei Sword, Lu Qingyu smiled and said that he was holding the pretend, and Boss Zhou also smiled and said If that is the case, wouldn't you have died a long time ago. Lu Qingyu couldn't laugh anymore, so she only followed Boss Zhou's old rules and performed four tricks of Phantom Ying swordsmanship, which were "Flying Snow", "Freezing Three Feet", "Silver Makeup", and "Returning at Night in the Wind and Snow". Boss Zhou's eyes were straight, when Lu Qingyu asked if he could catch the medicine, Boss Zhou shook his head and said that it was too fast and too fancy, he didn't have time to see clearly, Lu Qingyu was helpless, and he seemed to use a few tricks of Fan Jia's floating flower swordsmanship, Boss Zhou shook his head again and said that it was not proficient and smooth, it was definitely not his own swordsmanship, Lu Qingyu was furious, and said believe it or not, I can kill you now, Boss Zhou still said kindly that I am dead, no one will give you the medicine, and you will not recognize it yourself. Lu Qingyu bit her lower lip, she was really helpless, so she had to swallow her anger alive, turn around, and repeat the four Phantom Ying swordsmanship one by one at a turtle speed.

Lu Qingyu returned to the inn, at this time everyone had gone to bed, an oil lamp was about to go out in the lobby, and only the guy guarding the door was still yawning and waiting for him.

As soon as he saw Lu Qingyu coming, the guy immediately came to his senses, and nodded his head politely: "Master, you are back, if you want to eat something, the little one will go and prepare it for you." Lu Qingyu said: "You...... If you don't go to bed so late, just wait for me? The man touched the back of his head and said stupidly, "Guarding the door for you!" How else would you get in? Lu Qingyu couldn't help but laugh secretly, in fact, with his ability, if he wants to enter this inn, there are at least seven ways. Besides," Xiao Er continued, "the proprietress said that you are a big customer, and you must not be offended, so I ordered me to wait for you!" "This guy looks honest and upright, and he speaks without scheming at all.

Lu Qingyu asked again: "Why do you just want to keep it?" The guy smiled embarrassedly: "Maybe it's because I'm the stupidest and most useless, so this kind of thing is always my turn...... But I'm very satisfied to have such a place for me, hehe......" He began to giggle after speaking, but he had no idea what kind of person he was facing, and what kind of earth-shattering past this character had. Of course, he is just an ordinary person, satisfied with all his current life, he doesn't want to change anything, he doesn't want to lose anything, and he doesn't want to fight for anything, just living like this, he is very happy.

Lu Qingyu really doesn't know whether this is luck or sorrow as ordinary people, they really can't understand the pleasure of standing on a high place and looking down on everything, the kind of glory and power that is supported by thousands of people are enough to provoke a restless heart and a surging blood. But he couldn't help but think that when people reach that height, it is accompanied by supreme loneliness and loneliness, as the so-called high place is not cold, and the world that this vision encompasses is probably only he can understand!

"You can just get me a few steamed buns and side dishes, and go and rest!" He put the oil lamp on the table where he was seated, picked out the wick, looked at the large packet of herbs, suddenly remembered something, and ordered, "Fetch me another medicine jar!" ”

Lu Qingyu hurriedly finished eating, went to the kitchen with the lamp, and personally decocted the medicine for Zihua.

He felt that his hands and feet were quite sharp in decocting medicine, and he knew the heat well, thinking that in this world, except for Xiaoxue, Zihua was the second woman he personally boiled medicine for.

Thinking of Xiaoxue, Lu Qingyu was ashamed and heartbroken: "I completely ignored her, where is she now, is she dead or alive?" But I ran to the desert to grab some treasure mirror! ”

There were a few very slight footsteps in the lobby, which was difficult to be noticed, but Lu Qingyu's internal strength was so profound, even such a slight sound still couldn't escape his ears.

"There are people in this inn who can walk so lightly!"

He looked out of the window and saw a sturdy black cat passing by the outer wall, the fluff all over his body was so black that it was about to melt into the middle of the night when he couldn't see his fingers, if it weren't for the two cat's eyes flickering faintly, even Lu Qingyu's eyesight would not be able to distinguish it.

"I'm so nervous, I can't even tell the difference between a cat and a person's footsteps!" Lu Qingyu smiled self-deprecatingly and continued to boil the medicine. Suddenly, the black cat screamed so badly that its hair stood on end, Lu Qingyu followed in three steps and two steps, and saw a pair of pale hands agile dragging the black cat to the backyard, so he naturally hurried to follow.

The man who grabbed the black cat walked to the backyard and sat cross-legged along a section of wall, with a bucket of water and a white utensil beside him. At this moment, the moonlight was striking the row of teeth of his smile, emitting an eerie white light, and his face and hands were pale and blue, like a blood-sucking zombie that had just crawled out of a coffin. The real "vampire zombie" Lu Qingyu has seen it, but the person in front of him who is holding the corpse of a black cat and secretly laughing looks even weirder and terrifying, even people like Lu Qingyu look at him and laugh, and he can't help but be creepy, because he sees appetite in his eyes.

The pale man began to tear the black cat's fur with his bare hands, even the belt hair, but the black cat was not dead, every time he pulled it, the black cat would cry out weakly, and then twitch slightly, the blood and cruelty of the situation were so cruel that even Lu Qingyu couldn't help but be outrageous.

Finally, the half-colored black cat turned into a dead cat with blurred flesh and blood. The man then put the cat's body plate into the vessel and sprinkled a handful of white powder, just like a woman pickles meat with salt, and the cat's corpse immediately expands and melts when it touches the powder, and finally becomes a puddle of blood.

In the end, it was the most appetizing scene for Lu Qingyu: this zombie-like man picked up the utensils, drank all the blood of the cat inside, and laughed contentedly after drinking, Lu Qingyu only saw this person's face clearly at this time, it was the leader of the seven members of the Mai Sect who came today, he suddenly remembered what Han Yuxiu said, it turned out that this sect cultivates with corpses is like this, if there is still a human corpse here now, it is estimated that this person will not hesitate to drink him in the same way.

"It's good that Zihua isn't here, otherwise she would definitely vomit." Lu Qingyu himself actually wanted to vomit, and he also wanted to rush out and kill this disgusting guy, but he really couldn't find a reason to kill him, people just "drank" a cat, and it didn't hinder you from anything?

Lu Qingyu returned to the kitchen in a huff, and when she saw the jar of yellowed liquid, the more she looked at it, the more disgusting she became, so she casually poured it out. When he went to bed in the room, Lu Qingyu couldn't close his eyes for a long time, and what made him unable to close his eyes was not the opposite Chu Xingyun, who lived opposite, but the weird atmosphere of the inn as a whole, "I hope nothing happens tomorrow." ”
