Chapter 44 The appointment is blocked

The white horse passed through the gap, and three days passed in the blink of an eye. On the night of the third day, Lu Chen changed his appearance, took a voice changing pill, and came to Qinghe City Wufang as promised. Bihe was already waiting outside the Fuchun Herbal Medicine Hall, and after seeing Pharmacist Chen, she hurriedly greeted him and invited him to the VIP room on the second floor.

In the VIP room, Han Lao and Tao Lao, as before, seemed to have no idea the specific identity of the pharmacist in front of them. Tasting fragrant tea, between words, both sides have money and goods.

"Mr. Chen, are you free recently?" Seeing that Lu Chen was about to leave, Han Lao changed his words and asked tentatively.

Lu Chen hesitated slightly, then raised his eyes to look at Han Lao, and said in a low voice: "Then it depends on what Han Lao has to tell you." ”

Han Lao was slightly stunned and said: "Lin Yuan, the head of the Lin family in Qinghe City, Leng Xiong, the head of the Leng family in Qinghe City, and Zhao Yuancheng, the owner of the Qinghe Martial Arts Hall in Qinghe City, these three sent personal invitations to the Fuchun Herbal Medicine Hall and the Pill Medicine Pavilion at the same time, and wanted to invite Mr. Chen to enjoy the light and drink a glass of thin wine, I don't know what Mr. Chen thinks?"

As soon as these words came out, the VIP room on the second floor of the Fuchun Herbal Medicine Hall fell into a brief silence. Lu Chen's heart moved slightly, did the Qinghe Sanba also want to get a piece of the pie? Then he wondered again, how could the Fuchun Herb Hall and the Pill Pavilion spit out the profits that had been eaten in their mouths. After thinking about it for a while, I was relieved. As the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, even if the backstage of the Fuchun Herb Hall and the Pill Pavilion is hard enough, but if they want to become big in Qinghe City, it is impossible not to even leave a mouthful of soup for the three families.

The business with Fuchun Herbal Medicine Hall and Pill Medicine Pavilion was done happily, and Lu Chen didn't want to make it difficult for Han Lao and Tao Lao to be people, so he said slowly: "In this case, you can do whatever you want when you get off the guests." ”

Hearing this answer, while Han Lao and Tao Lao breathed a sigh of relief, a touch of gloom flashed in their eyes. If Lu Chen refuses to deal with this matter, the Qinghe Three Tyrants will not be able to blame the heads of the Fuchun Herb Hall and the Pill Pavilion in any way. Now that Lu Chen has agreed, the Lin family, the Leng family, and the Qinghe Martial Arts Pavilion are bound to get a piece of the pie from the Three Treasures Quenching Body Fluid. The thought was fleeting, and Han Lao smiled and said: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun, tomorrow night, at three o'clock in the afternoon, the Neihu Boat Building, waiting for Mr. Zun." ”

Lu Chen nodded, said goodbye, and left......

Back at the Lin family's miscellaneous courtyard, Lu Chen pondered for a while, thinking about how to deal with the Qinghe Three Tyrants tomorrow night, and after a while, the corners of his mouth hooked up a trace of arc. Subsequently, he began to cultivate, first cultivating the first part of the Nine Dragons Proverbs, the Proverbs of Fire, then absorbing the medicinal power of a bucket of Nine Treasures Quenching Body Fluid, cultivating the Gluttonous Devouring Heavenly Scripture with the help of medicinal power, and then cultivating the Divine Sword Qi Cultivation Technique, and then rehearsing the Qingguang Sword Technique from beginning to end, and finally reading the fire book for half an hour.

Lu Chen has gone through this hot book from beginning to end, and has passed Ge Qing's assessment, but the more he looks at it, the more he can't put it down, and now he knows the new. At first, Lu Chen thought that after reading this heat book, he would only teach himself how to control the heat of boiling tea, but when refining the Nine Treasures Quenching Body Fluid and the Three Treasures Quenching Body Fluid, Lu Chen used the techniques recorded in the fire books, and the refining speed was very different. In fact, Lu Chen should have thought of this a long time ago, boiling tea and refining medicinal liquids are all playing with fire, and the reason is naturally figured out. Ge Qing's unintentional move was of great benefit to himself, and Lu Chen was secretly grateful in his heart.

Although he doesn't have to go to Yaoshan anymore, Lu Chen still lives a very fulfilling life every day. There are twelve hours a day, and Lu Chen only rests for two hours. The rest of the time is either spent cultivating, or spent reading, refining the Nine Treasure Quenching Body Fluid, and the Three Treasure Quenching Body Fluids......

After cultivating this day, the feeling of dantian swelling became more and more obvious, but Lu Chen faintly felt that he had not yet reached the critical point of breakthrough. That day, Ge Qing told himself that it was okay to just break through, and at the same time taught two ways to break through the realm. After Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, he decided to use the first one, and when the water was full, it overflowed, and let it be.

The day came to an end and night fell. Lu Chen sat cross-legged on the wooden bed, opened his eyes, and glanced at the sky outside the window. At this time, it is still early to three quarters of the hour, and you can practice for a while. Lu Chen closed his eyes again and continued to cultivate the first part of the Nine Dragons Proverbs, the Proverbs of Fire. At this moment, a banging knock suddenly pierced his ears.

"What's the matter?" Lu Chen opened his eyes and asked lightly.

"On the order of the second lady, come to deliver the letter, open the door quickly. The outsider replied, and as soon as the words fell, there was another thud knocking on the door.

Listen to the voice, it's Jiang Hong. Lu Chen cleaned up a bit, opened the door, looked at the person outside the door, and said, "Master Jiang, do you want to knock on this door?"

"Hey...... Don't say that Deacon Ben looks down on you, this is the letter of the second young lady, delaying the important matter of the second young lady, can you take it on with an entourage?" Jiang Hong said coldly, handing the envelope to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen didn't bother to pay attention to him, took the envelope, opened it, and unfolded it.

White paper, ten beautiful black characters.

"Come to the Qili Temple in the east of the city, Lin Qiuxue. ”

Looking at the sky, even if you go to the Qili Temple in the east of the city, you still have time to make an appointment. Besides, as an entourage, Lin Qiuxue's order cannot be disobeyed at will without a legitimate reason, otherwise the Lin family's family law is not a decoration. Putting the envelope into his sleeve, Lu Chen didn't think much about it, took a healthy horse, left the Lin family, and rushed to the Qili Temple in the east of the city.

After about a cup of tea, a young man in gray and white clothes came to the foot of a lonely hill seven miles east of Qinghe City, on which stood a small and small ruined temple.

The moon was as bright as day, and there was silence around the lonely hills. Lu Chen turned over and dismounted, tied the saddle bridle to a pine branch, and then stepped onto the trail and went straight to the top of the mountain and the broken temple.

After a short time, he crossed the threshold of the broken temple and stepped into the broken temple. Lu Chen's eyes swept away, the weeds under his feet were overgrown, and the ground was a mess. Except for a clay Buddha in the center of the ruined temple, there is no other display. The walls of the temple were solid, and there was not a single crack. The broken temple was broken on the roof, only to see a big hole on the roof of the broken temple being drenched by wind, frost, rain and snow, and a beam of moonlight poured in from the outside like a nine-day waterfall.

"The little one has arrived, please come out and meet the second lady. Lu Chen clenched his fists and shouted, except for an echo, no one in the broken temple responded.

After a while, Lu Chen stood in place and shouted with his fists clenched, but the result was still the same.

What's going on? Lin Qiuxue let herself come here, why didn't she show up, could it be...... She hasn't come yet, is she playing with herself the score of the second lady of the Lin family, this is a very likely thing. As soon as he thought of this, Lu Chen slowly withdrew his hand, and he walked around the ruined temple and looked around.

Walking to a corner, a flash of red light suddenly came into view, and when he looked closely, Lu Chen's eyes suddenly changed. Looking at the blood stains that were sprinkled all the way, I saw a man in a brocade robe lying behind the Buddha statue, where the moonlight could not find it. The brocade-clad man seemed to be asleep, and someone approached, but he showed no sign of waking up.

The silence broke the temple, the moonlight was white, and after Lu Chen saw someone lying on the ground sleeping soundly, he hurriedly took a step back quietly, and said in a deep voice: "Lin Qiuxue, the second lady of the Lin family, came here, I don't know that Your Excellency is injured and resting here, don't blame me for taking the liberty of disturbing." ”

The words fell, and the man in brocade did not move. Lu Chen's brows furrowed slightly, and when he said this, even if he was a sleeping person, he should wake up.

Could this person ...... Injured and fainted? Since I was asked to bump into him, how could he not be saved from death. Thinking of this, Lu Chen stepped forward in three steps and two steps to check the injuries of the man in brocade. Stretched out his hand to test the snort of the man in brocade, Lu Chen's heart was cold, this person had ...... He's dead!

Lu Chen was about to take a closer look at the face of the man in brocade, when the sound of the galloping hooves of a healthy horse came to his ears from far and near like a storm.

"Surround the temple, and before I come out, not a single fly is allowed to go out!"

"Yes, sir. ”

As soon as the words fell, a figure rushed in from outside the broken temple door.

Lu Chen frowned, didn't care to take a closer look at the face of the man in brocade, and hurriedly walked out from behind the Buddha statue, looking at the visitor. After seeing the faces of the people who came, a familiar figure suddenly flashed in Lu Chen's mind, it was Lin Fang, a disciple of the Lin family in the West Courtyard. However, the person in front of him was obviously not Lin Fang, but a middle-aged man with a square face.

"Who is Your Excellency?" Lu Chen said with his fists clenched.

"I should ask you this, who are you, and where is Du Teng?" the square-faced middle-aged man squinted at Lu Chen and asked coldly.

Hearing this, Lu Chen was slightly stunned, not knowing how to respond. If this person wants to find Du Teng, shouldn't he go to the west courtyard of the Lin family to find it, why did he come here to ask himself.

Seeing that Lu Chen silently did not answer, the square-faced middle-aged man snorted coldly, and his eyes swept over the broken temple. When he saw the blood stains on the ground, the middle-aged man's eyes contracted for a while, and then he bypassed Lu Chen and went straight to the back of the Buddha statue. After a few moments, a suppressed exclamation came from behind the Buddha statue.

"Someone, tie this person up to me quickly. The square-faced middle-aged man had a gloomy face, slowly walked out from behind the Buddha statue, pointed at Lu Chen, and shouted.

As soon as the words fell, I saw seven or eight figures rushing in from outside the door of the broken temple. Several of them held torches in their hands, and the ruined temple shone like daylight. There were also a few people holding arm-thick chains in their hands, and under the light of the shaking fire, they were like imps asking for their lives.

"I am a miscellaneous disciple of the Lin family in Qinghe City, and I am here on the order of Lin Qiuxue, the second lady of the Lin family, how dare you tie me up!" Lu Chen didn't even glance at the seven or eight figures that rushed in, his eyes looked at the square-faced middle-aged man, and shouted loudly.

"The person we want to tie up is you!" the first of the seven or eight people who rushed in stared at Lu Chen, and said with a dark smile.

Lu Chen looked for prestige, and was slightly stunned, this person actually knew that it was Qi Hao, the dog leg of Jiang Hongjiang, the deacon of the Lin family's miscellaneous servants. A thought suddenly flashed in my heart, these people in front of me are ...... The people of the Lin family!

Before Lu Chen could think about it, the square-faced middle-aged man shouted in a loud voice: "Even a miscellaneous disciple dares to shout, take it for me." ”

Qi Hao had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and when he heard this, a sneer appeared on his face, and he was the first to rush towards Lu Chen.
