Volume 1 The First Arrival Chapter 10 The Tiger Eats the Sheep
I didn't expect that the senior brother who had never met before was so powerful in Xinhai City, not only the champion of the fighting competition, but also able to fish out himself from a desperate situation.
Lu Li, who was full, had the blood in his body flowing to the digestive system with nutrients and oxygen, and his brain was a little dizzy.
Lu Li sat paralyzed on the sofa, thinking of his experience in Xinhai City in just two days, like a roller coaster, up and down.
Aside from when I was sixteen, the events of these few days are probably the biggest I have experienced so far. Lu Li's eyelids fought, and he fell asleep again......
"Anyone?" Suddenly, a female voice came from the first floor. Lu Li was woken up from his sleep and looked out the window, it was already half dark. The windows crackled and were smashed by the rain outside, and it seemed that it was raining a lot.
Lu Li rubbed his eyes, he got up at noon, ate and fell asleep, after a whole day's sleep, Lu Li got up from the sofa and hurriedly went downstairs to see who was coming below.
The senior brother said that he let himself take care of the store, and he slept for a whole day, and the senior brother was afraid that he would beat himself to death when he came back.
The woman downstairs stood at the cash register and wondered why there was no one in the store: "Why is there no one today?" When the woman heard someone coming down the stairs, she turned her head and threw up her high pigtails to look at the staircase and met Lu Li's gaze when she was coming down.
I saw that this woman's eyes were hooked inwards and turned outwards, and her big eyes were black and intense, and she smiled and showed a mouthful of white and neat teeth. "Are you new here? I'm the owner of the art shop next door, isn't Boss Xie here? β
Lu Li held on to the handrail of the stairs and looked at the woman standing next to the cash register a little blankly, and replied slowly: "My senior brother went out to buy goods and never came back, I just came to Xinhai City from the mainland, and I don't know much about the situation in the store, what is the matter with you?" β
The woman stood on the container with the umbrella in her hand, wiped the rain on her hands, stepped forward and shook hands with Lu Li: "Hello, my name is Ling Qingyue, I just closed the store and walked home The rainy season is getting down, so I want to wait for the rain in Boss Xie's store." β
Lu Li's tone was a little nervous: "Of course you can." After looking at the environment on the first floor, he found that there was no place to sit, and it was obviously inappropriate for her to enter her own compartment: "Go upstairs and sit, there is a sofa on it, and I will make you tea." β
"If it doesn't bother you." Ling Qingyue said with a smile, her words and deeds were generous.
"No trouble, no trouble. My name is Lu Li, and I am Boss Xie's junior brother. Lu Li, as the temporary supervisor of the hardware store, was a little nervous and restrained.
"It's weird, what a name."
"Hey, hey." Lu Li, who has rarely been in contact with the opposite sex since he was a child, smiled a little shyly.
"Upstairs, please, be careful of the steps" Lu Li stretched out his hand and motioned for Ling Qingyue to go upstairs.
"You sit down first." Lu Li, who followed him upstairs, quickly stepped forward and tidied up the pillow that was lying on his own.
"I'll find out if there's any tea."
"If you don't have it, plain water will do."
Lu Li found the tea canister with ashes in the corner of his brother's cupboard.
"Puff" Lu Li blew off the ash on the top, looked at the production date on the bottom, and it was expired in a month. You won't have a bad stomach. Lu Li muttered, but he still chose to pour it into the cup.
"Tea is ready, it's sugar cubes and milk, you add it according to your habits." Lu Li used a tray to put the tea and sugar cubes and milk on the coffee table.
"Alas, okay. Lu Li, you can sit too. Ling Qingyue moved his place for Lu Li.
Lu Li and Ling Qingyue sat together for a while, not knowing what to say to this person who had just known each other for less than ten minutes.
"The first time I saw you downstairs, I was actually curious if you were the one who killed the police in Times Square as mentioned in the news in the past few days." Ling Qingyue took the initiative to provoke the conversation.
"It was me, and finally I asked the police station to take me back, investigate and interrogate me for two days, suspecting that I was an associate of a reactionary group."
"It is said on the news that your body is amazingly fast, and you are a modified person with a whole body prosthesis."
"Hehe" Lu Li was about to explain that he was not a reformer, when he suddenly changed his words. "Do you think I'm a reformer?" Lu Li looked at Ling Qingyue's eyes.
"I don't think you're not, I don't want you to be so warm-hearted." Ling Qingyue looked at Lu Li and showed a smile in his bright eyes.
Lu Li looked at Ling Qingyue's smile on the closed moon, as if he had turned into a sugar cube, and fell into Ling Qingyue's cup of fragrant flower tea, and gradually turned into invisible.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Gradually, the rain stopped, Ling Qingyue was about to get up and leave, Lu Li sent Ling Qingyue to the avenue before turning his head and preparing to go back to the hardware store.
On the way back to the store, Lu Li's body was a little soft and his spirit was also a little trance. After a day of sleep, there was something wrong with my body. Lu Li struggled to remember that he had just come out of that way. At this time, six people suddenly walked out of the street, and all of them showed their fierce faces, obviously rushing to land away.
"What are you doing?" Lu Li felt very inexplicable, he didn't have any enemies here, and suddenly six people came at night and surrounded him viciously.
"Lu Li, you don't pretend garlic in me. A police officer's lackey, and the face lives here. The first one was the largest, wearing a tight white vest, holding a baseball bat, pointing at Lu Li, and scolded loudly, the tight vest did not wrap around this person's outstanding belly.
Lu Li is even more strange, didn't he just save a police officer in the square, and let the police station detain him for two days, how can he come to the police lackey. If this person hadn't directly called out his name and knew that he lived here, Lu Li would have thought that this person had made a mistake.
"Didn't I say you had nothing to do? Haven't you heard of saving a life and building a seventh-level floating slaughter? β
After listening to Lu Li's words, the person at the head was even more angry, and the fat on his belly trembled.
"I said that you have a good hand in the square, and you are here to pretend to be for the two of you, are you addicted?" The big belly opened his eyes and looked at Lu Li angrily.
"The police officers of Xinhai City who don't know, is there a good thing there? Are you still saved? How much more do the common people suffer to save one? β
The big belly said and turned his head to look at his horse, and the horse boy listened to the boss's words and agreed very much, nodding like pounding garlic.
The big belly was very satisfied and continued to ask: "I said, have you calculated this account?" I don't know if my dog's life can be saved, so I have to find something to do? Ah, Our Lady? "Big belly learns to land in a detached tone.
Lu Li looked at the current scene and was helpless: "Then what do you say?" β
"What to do? I'm going to kill you today on behalf of the people!" β
With that, Big Belly took out a pistol from his back waist and pointed it at Lu Li's head. Ma Zai next to him saw that the boss didn't agree with him, and actually took out a pistol, and retreated half a step in fright, trying to persuade the boss not to be impulsive, but he was too frightened to persuade him.
"Brother, have you ever seen a gun? Let the gun be pointed in the head? As soon as the big belly finished saying hard words, he remembered Lu Li's situation in Times Square and found that he had said a.
But the momentum can't be lost, and the big-bellied facial expression is even more fierce.
Lu Li lowered his head expressionlessly at this time, as if he was stupid by a gun pointed at his head.
The horses reacted, forgetting that they were the ones who were the most scared just now, and grinned at Lu Li's appearance. "Hahahaha"
"Bang!"
Ma Tsai was so frightened by this explosion that he stifled his laughter.
I fixed my eyes and saw that the boss slowly covered his stomach.
The big belly hurt like a heart-wrenching liver, beads of sweat the size of beans were left on his forehead, his face instantly lost blood, and he slowly knelt on the ground.
What's the situation? The boss let him die?
Looking at Lu Li again, I don't know when, the gun has already arrived in Lu Li's hands. Lu Li calmly looked at the remaining five ponies standing.
What else can I do? The boss originally wanted to scare this "big hero", but as he spoke, he actually took out the only pistol.
It's good now, not only did I not scare this person, but I also let people take the gun, so it's a fart!
The horses were too frightened to speak, and they took two steps back and stood on their feet, and the faces of the five people were synchronized with the faces of the boss, for fear that they would be shot.
Lu Li saw the six people who were still fierce and vicious just now, but now their momentum collapsed in an instant and they lost their combat effectiveness.
threw the gun to the ground, raised his foot and chopped it hard, and an iron gun was actually trampled flat.
"It seems that you have touched the door of my situation, you also know where I live, remember to come to me if you have something." After saying that, he left without looking back.
Seeing Lu Li walking away, the standing horse boy remembered that he had grown two legs, and hurriedly stepped forward to help his big belly.
"Boss, you got shot in the stomach?" The boss was lifted up by everyone.
Angry, I wanted to raise my hand to slap the little brother who was speaking, but I found that my limbs were weak and my arms couldn't be used, so I turned my head and spit on my little brother: "Heh, phew." I'll get a shot, and I'll get a punch in the stomach! β
After speaking, he let go of the hand covering his stomach, and when the younger brothers saw it, the boss's stomach was like being sucked by a cupping pot the size of a casserole for a day and a night. The area where he was punched was covered with black and purple bruises, and oil and blood were oozing.
"Boss, this full-body prosthetic person is too terrifying, spare our dog's life."
When the boss heard the words of the other little brother, he was even more angry, and wanted to spit out this little brother, but found that his mouth was a little dry.
"Can you speak? Still alive? I'm going to knock you on the head today. β
Ma Tsai was frightened and hurriedly protected his head.
The big belly was punched by the knot today, and the mood dropped to the extreme.
In fact, it was not because Lu Li saved the police or became a "hero" in the city who acted bravely, but because he saw Ling Qingyue enter Boss Xie's hardware store and let a young student send him out, so he was angry.
Finally, if you take a closer look, it is actually the person who has been on the news in the past few days, and she has found her tongue, ready to scare and scare the "big hero" in the news to make him stay away from Ling Qing. In the end, I didn't expect that the goal was not achieved and I was hammered.
There was a van parked outside the store, and I don't know when the brother had already returned from the stock.
"I've been out running for a day, how is the business going?"
"I slept all day." Lu Li touched the back of his head with some embarrassment.
Xie An didn't care very much when he heard it, but was concerned about Lu Li: "Is it okay to come here and still haven't adjusted your schedule?" β
"I felt like I had adjusted, but after a few days in the detention center, it was chaotic."
"Don't be afraid, let's recuperate in the store these days and make some friends here," Xie An said to Lu Li while inspecting the goods.
"By the way, is Boss Ling next door coming to visit the door today?"
"How do you know?"
"It's raining heavily again today, and I guess she'll come to sit with me for a while when she closes the shop and sees that it's raining."
"What is she looking for you to do?" Lu Li's tone became slightly higher.
"I usually teach her the Dharma, and I am also a teacher and a friend. In the Yanshou District, she is also half a godfather. Xie An sat on the sofa and said lightly.
"Isn't godfather a Christian term?"
"Who said that? The word godfather was first used by Lao Tzu. β
Lu Li suddenly felt that this senior brother was quite educated.
"Senior brother, how many years have you been in Xinhai City?"
"It's coming......" Xie An couldn't answer for a while, so he looked up and thought about it. Hurry fifteen or sixteen. β
"What was the purpose of your visit to Xinhai City in the first place?" Lu Li asked curiously.
"Whatever purpose you are, I am what purpose I am." Xie An said jokingly.
Lu Li was silent for a while after hearing this: "Senior brother, do you also know about that incident?" β
"Hahaha. Our master guarded this matter very strictly, for fear that someone in the temple would leak the news and be known by the court and destroy the door. But you, senior brother, and I are one of the few people in the world who know the truth about the two major events of the apocalypse explosion and the strange celestial phenomena twenty years ago. β
"Senior brother said so, I guess he knows where I came from."
After hearing this, Xie An put down the mobile phone that checked the goods and let out a sigh of relief, "Before you leave, the master entrusted you to me and asked me to help you develop in Xinhai City, which can be described as a thousand instructions, but only did not say what you came from, just said that you are talented and will become a great weapon in the future."
But I was also raised by my master since I was a child, and there are only two people who have been crossed by my master like this. You are one of them, but the other has become the eternal pain of the master. I've more or less guessed what you're all about. β
Regarding this person, Lu Li has more or less heard of it, he was the apprentice of the master in the early years, and he disappeared after coming down the mountain to Xinhai City.
Xie An continued to take care of himself: "Our Burning Lamp Temple, since the Apocalypse explosion four hundred years ago, is the only force in this world other than the imperial family that knows and has that kind of power, since the first generation of masters survived the Apocalypse explosion, they have been hiding in the Burning Lamp Temple to cultivate, developing their strength from this meteorite.
"This power has been passed down from generation to generation, although it has declined, but the development has become more and more perfect. Until our master's generation, the development of the stone has been very perfect, and it has been decided to send one of the most proud protΓ©gΓ©s to undertake most of the strength to go out to the mountain to see the opportunity, that is, the person I just mentioned. β
"And then? Why didn't this person end up hearing from? Lu Li hurriedly asked, hoping to ask the details that he didn't know from Xie An's mouth.
"Strength, great power. Alas......" Xie An did not answer, lowered his head and sighed heavily.
"Lu Li, let me ask you, a power that is so powerful that the Ming Dynasty can last for another few hundred years and become an empire through the ages, will you not lose yourself after you have the ability to match this power as a single person? Will you promise not to be consumed by this 'power of the abyss'? The senior brother suddenly became serious, and asked Lu Li in an aggravated tone.
"I'm ......" Lu Li was stopped by this sudden and strange question.
"Lu Li, what do you think of this incident in Times Square?" The senior brother changed the subject.
"I felt like I was being framed, as if I was in a trap as soon as I got off the train. Brother, what do you think about this? β
"I don't know who is behind it, but I know that the planner of this matter must know the secret of your background."
When Lu Li heard this, his pupils contracted, and his senior brother and his guess were the same.
Things are really not simple, I definitely didn't get involved unintentionally, but was arranged step by step.
"Killing you with the sword of the imperial court is definitely one of the purposes."
"Is it the same group that arranged the speech in the square to frame and kill me?"
"It's hard to say whether this group of people wants to kill you or not, and I don't know very well about these people, but I know that their organization is called 'Restoration Society'."
