Chapter 174 Surrounded by strong enemies
Seeing that Master Cui had said everything that should be said, he arched his hand to those reckless men and said: "Everyone, the old man is old and can't sit for a long time, so he will retire first, you can enjoy the wine and food, these days, you will temporarily live in Cangzhou City, just don't show your tracks, delay the big event, please." ”
After that, Master Cui gave up his hand again, and in the sound of "chirp" from those reckless men, he got up and left with the two boys.
After leaving the temple and getting into the carriage, the coachman who was driving the car glanced at the men who were shouting in the temple, and said with disdain: "Master, can these unruly reckless men in the mountains and fields achieve great things?" ”
Through the wind curtain that blocked the wind, there was a gloomy voice from Master Cui: "The rooster and dog thief also have their use, besides, the key to the ancestor's breakthrough is not what eighteen stars are connected in a line, but to flow into a river of blood, and the souls are all over the field, and then use that blood to extinguish the fire of hell, so, if you want to make this Cangzhou city a river of blood, you really need these rats who only know how to kill people and harm people, hehe"
The coachman nodded wordlessly, and continued: "Master, that Lu Jingtian's house is still there, I always think it's a hidden danger, did you send someone to fill in that place......
"That place, don't send any more of our people for the time being, yesterday I got the news that one of my old friends is back, with my understanding of his character, Lu Mansion there, he is definitely going to go, we have been waiting to see what happens recently, if necessary, he is also a pawn of us. As for the Lu Mansion, haven't we already used the method of three victories to see that the secret passages below have changed directions, no matter how high my old man's spell is, he must not be able to understand the secrets here, don't worry, let's go, go home. Then Master Cui sneered again and stopped talking.
As the night grew darker, the mule cart had to walk alone in the deserted wilderness, the snow on both sides of the path, and the black artemisia grass trembled in the snow, showing more and more the loneliness and solemnity of winter.
At this time, less than five miles away from Cangzhou City, in a white felt tent that blended with the surrounding snow, the mysterious woman who had assassinated Li Shu'er wore a golden mask, and her thin lips were closed to show her innate arrogance and calmness. In front of the woman, five men dressed in white, masked in white scarves, stood respectfully with their hands down, waiting for the woman's instructions.
"An order has been issued from the organization, asking us to temporarily stop the assassination mission, and try to get close to the target of the operation, see if they, especially the old ghost surnamed Li, find out as soon as possible whether he has formed a force that can resist the organization during his stay in the Qing Dynasty, and whether they have mastered the secret of entering and exiting the Three Realms, and their plans for the next step, so you must try to cover my entry into Cangzhou City, and create an opportunity so that I can gain their trust, understand?" The woman's beautiful eyes peeked out from behind the golden mask, but there was a chilling coldness in her eyes.
"Understood!" The men in white replied in unison, imposing.
When the first rays of sunlight of the next day sprinkled the golden light on the earth, Li Shu'er took Yang Yi, Wei Ergou, and Liu Ruoxue to eat, and went out of the inn.
Halfway through, Uncle Li saw that there were too many people following behind him, so he had to stand on a high place, and said with a smile: "Folks, go back, ah, don't worry, as long as the real person is here, you will definitely not let you suffer from the military disaster, go back, go back!" ”
Listening to Uncle Li'er's words, those people suddenly had tears in their eyes and knelt down, one by one, as if they had seen their father's children, they couldn't cry silently, and they cried together.
Seeing this situation, Liu Ruoxue's eyes turned red instantly, and she looked at Uncle Li and said, "Uncle, I have been cultivating for five hundred years, and I have truly understood that the meaning of cultivation is not to pursue one's ascension to immortality, but to complete the salvation of Li Min, this is the real enlightenment, right?" ”
"Girl, remember what you said today, and don't forget it for the rest of your life!" Li Shu'er lovingly rubbed Liu Ruoxue's green silk with his hand, smiled bitterly, and then looked at Yang Yi and Wei Ergou and said: "Seven emotions and six desires, greed for life, evil and death, are all human nature, as long as you uphold your own heart, do not do all evil, pursue all good, and persevere in your life, you can be transcendent and holy, the so-called Taoist metaphysical five veins are just a means to achieve this goal, in order to complete the mental "enlightenment" and physical "grinding" in the process of practicing the five veins, Xue'er has been enlightened, what are you two calves waiting for, eh?" ”
Li Shu'er's words full of philosophy and Zen machine came out, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou originally listened to their hearts wavering, feeling as if they were in a bamboo forest surrounded by cigarette smoke, listening to the sound of Buddha like fairy music, and looking at Li Shu'er's eyes also began to overflow with reverence, I don't want his last sentence full of big ballast flavor to pull them back to reality in an instant, knowing that this old liar in front of him can't hide the hooligan atmosphere on his body even if he rubs musk, no matter how he shakes his lips and dances, is still the real old liar, can't help but look at each other and smile bitterly, speechless and choked.
Li Shu'er was unimpressed by Yang Yi and Wei Ergou's respectful eyes, so after persuading those people to leave, he jumped off the high platform and led them straight to Nalu Mansion as if he were fleeing.
After running for a while, Li Shu'er and Liu Ruoxue's feet were very strong, their faces did not change and they did not panth, but Yang Yi and Wei Ergou were bitter, and the brothers ran so much that their tongues drooped out of their mouths, and they were out of breath, and they were about to hang up.
"Uncle, ahem...... No, run again, you can collect the bodies of the two of us, ah......" Wei Ergou really couldn't run, sat on the ground, looked at Li Shu'er and Liu Ruoxue in front of him and shouted.
"Why are you so weak?" Uncle Li looked at Wei Ergou, then at Liu Ruoxue, and asked Wei Ergou with some confusion: "You calf won't do anything good behind your uncle's back, or why will your waist and knees be sore, hehe?"
Looking at Uncle Li with an obscene face, Wei Ergou secretly scolded in his heart, "You old bulb who is disrespectful to the old", habitually glanced around, wanting to find a brick, but when he saw Uncle Li'er's vigilant eyes, he realized that he was not facing those street ruffians in the past, but the old liars who he loved and hated, and couldn't help sighing, and said: "You are really my father, uncle, I have served, completely convinced, but the conscience of heaven and earth, the two of us have done nothing, really, I don't believe you ask Xue'er ......"
"No, girl, what's wrong with my apprentice, yes, why don't you have any ideas yet, I've calculated it for you, you two are not bad with the five elements!" If you want to say that this Uncle Li really doesn't recruit four or six, as soon as he heard Wei Ergou say that there was no OOXX between him and Liu Ruoxue, the old face couldn't be hung up at that time, and he looked at Liu Ruoxue and asked without shame.
"Just him? It's not that his five elements are wrong, but his facial features are wrong, hum" Liu Ruoxue glanced at Wei Ergou, that look, the old hook people's soul, Wei Ergou was not tired at that time, and as soon as he stood up, it was like a virus.
"I said, can you two take into account the feelings of me, a lovelorn person, can you not stimulate me so much, oops, my heart, sparse and sparse." Looking at the sincere Wei Ergou and Liu Ruoxue, although he was in the pain of losing contact with his sweetheart, Yang Yi was still sincerely happy that Wei Ergou and Liu Ruoxue could find each other's true love, so he couldn't help but joke about the two of them.
"Okay, let's hurry, it's still far away......" Looking at the three energetic children, Uncle Li was happy and worried, and his heart was like numbness, so he touched his face and shouted at them to continue on his way.
Fortunately, at this time, there was a mule cart carrying firewood passing by, and when the car was driven to see that it was the old fairy Li Shu'er, he knelt down and kowtowed when he got out of the car, and also gave the few hangs of money he had just sold to Li Shu'er as a supporter.
The coachman did everything he could, and he quickly whipped his horse all the way, and sent Uncle Li and them safely to the ruins of Lu Mansion, and thanked them a thousand times before leaving happily.
Standing on the ruins that have been covered by the falling snow for the past few days, Li Shu'er and Yang Yi have mixed feelings, sighing that life is impermanent, and there is no omen, but there is an interval of more than a month, then Lu Jingtian is already separated by a quiet and bright eternity, and Lu Ling'er's whereabouts are unknown, and the reason for the sudden disaster in Lu Mansion is still in the clouds, and there is no clear answer, how can it not make people feel sad.
After looking at it for a while, Uncle Li smiled miserably and said, "Let's go in." ”
Along the main gate, which was already half collapsed, Uncle Li and the others stepped over the broken bricks and broken wood, and entered the first courtyard, but it was full of toppled house walls, and the courtyard was full of broken bricks mixed with purlin wood that had been burned to charcoal, and it was not easy to walk.
With Liu Ruoxue's support, Uncle Li carefully avoided those stumbling things, carefully examined the terrible cracks on the remaining walls for a while, and said to himself: "This crack doesn't look like it was formed after the fire, but like it was formed by an earthquake, isn't it ......?"
With doubts, Uncle Li quickened his pace and walked straight to the second courtyard, that is, the area where Lu Jingtian's family's bedroom was located.
When he got there, Uncle Li approached Lu Jingtian's bedroom, which had already collapsed, and the furniture there had either been burned to ashes or taken away by the surrounding people, and it was full of smoke and fire, full of devastation.
Uncle Li carefully checked the ground, the big pit he and Yang Yi dug at the beginning was completely gone, and the glazed floor tiles of fine porcelain were as smooth as before, and there was no sign of being planed at all.
Uncle Li stayed for a while, and suddenly shouted: "His grandmother's, I understand......"
