Chapter 129: The Beginning of Lotus City
After two days of traveling, they finally arrived at Liancheng.
The air is filled with bursts of lotus fragrance, and ponds of lotus flowers can be seen everywhere, some are still flower bones, some have opened two or three petals, some have been fully opened, and some petals have fallen off, revealing a lotus canopy.
The dragonflies flying in the air landed on the flower bones, the crystal clear dew swayed on the lotus leaves, and the dew flowed down like pearls with broken threads when the breeze blew.
People hold boats, shuttle between lotuses, pick lotus flowers, and pick lotus canopies.
It can be said that the small bridge paddling and cutting lotus, the west wind on both sides of the strait faints the sunset, just like the first banquet of Yaochi, and the concubine is drunk with a leaden face.
The streets are full of people and traffic.
"Tangtang, are you sure there are demons here?" Jiang Louyue said a little skeptically, "Why are these people so leisurely, they don't look scared at all. ”
"yes, it doesn't look like a demon at all. Chu Mu looked at the surrounding scenery happily and agreed with Jiang Louyue's statement.
Beiyue Gu Heng replied, "The letter that the Lu family just came a few days ago will not be wrong. ”
During the conversation, they had already arrived at the Lu Mansion.
Although the Lu family is just a small immortal, it is a rich and noble family in Liancheng, and Lu Jing is the lord of a city in Liancheng.
"Stop! Who are you?"
The doorkeeper stopped them and asked.
Beiyue Gu Heng took out a letter and a piece of jade pendant and said, "Give this to your city lord, and you will know." ”
"Okay, then you wait a minute. The man took it and turned around and walked into the house.
When he came back, his domineering attitude suddenly changed, and he said to them respectfully, "The little one has eyes and doesn't know Taishan, and he just offended a few people, please forgive me." ”
"Hmph. Beiyue Gu Heng glanced at him coldly and walked in.
Jiang Louyue and the others followed.
As soon as he walked into the courtyard, Lu Jing greeted him and said with a salute, "I don't know how many immortal friends are driving and there is a loss of welcome." ”
"That's it. Beiyue Gu Heng replied.
"How many of them are disciples of the Firmament Sect?" Lu Jing asked with hesitation.
Jiang Louyue said with a smile, "Exactly, in the Xia Dayong Chu clan Jiang Louyue, the word Chaoxi, I have seen the Lord of Lu City." ”
"Wuling Yun Clan's Yunmi, I have seen the city lord. Yun Mi waved at him.
"The first Mu Yi of the Dayong Chu clan has seen the Lord of Lu City. ”
"Li Yan of the Li clan in Star City, he has no fear, and he has seen the Lord of Lu City. ”
"Wuxi Ning Ning Caiwei, I have seen the Lord of Lu City"
The others also shook their heads and reported their homes.
"Everyone, you're tired all the way, hurry up and sit down and rest, please. Lu Jing replied with a salute and said.
Jiang Louyue and the others thanked them together and walked into the main hall.
"Please be seated. Lu Jing said respectfully and politely, and instructed his subordinates, "Serve tea." ”
Beiyue Gu Heng planned to sit next to Yun Mi, but Jiang Louyue snatched her seat like a loach and smiled at him.
Beiyue Gu Heng glanced at him, and could only sit opposite Yunmi.
"City Lord Lu, what's going on with this demon, tell us about it. Jiang Louyue asked Lu Jing.
Lu Jing replied, "This is a long story, there is a purple bamboo peak not far from our lotus city, there is a bamboo demon on it, this demon occupies the mountain for the king and is extremely vicious, and does many evils, and the people who have been on the purple bamboo peak are either dead or injured, our Lu family has been fighting against this demon for generations, how can this demon Dao line is too high, so I have to turn to the Sky Gate for help." ”
"I see. Jiang Louyue nodded.
At this moment, a servant girl suddenly ran over and said anxiously, "Oh no, master! Miss is vomiting blood again!"
"What!" Lu Jing suddenly said in a panic, "Lose your company." ”
Then he left in a hurry.
"Let's go, let's take a look. Jiang Louyue got up and pulled the corner of Yun Mi's sleeve and said with interest.
They followed Lu Jing to a room.
Walking into the room, I saw that there were many portraits of monsters in the room, the smell of herbs and blood filled the nasal cavity, and there was a girl lying on the bed in the back room about ten to five years, although the girl's appearance was not as good as Yunmi and Ning Caiwei, but it was as slim as a lotus, the girl's face was pale and angry, and a mouthful of blood coughed up from her mouth.
"Where's the doctor!" Lu Jing asked anxiously.
The maidservant on the side replied, "I've been invited." ”
"Tell him to hurry up!" Lu Jing was anxious, holding the girl's hand tightly, and said, "Xiao Tian, don't be afraid, Dad is here." ”
The doctor came running over with a medicine box in a sweaty manner, and quickly applied needles and pills to the girl.
Only then did the bleeding stop, but the person was still unconscious, and his breath was even weaker than just now.
"City Lord, with all due respect. The doctor put his medicine box on his back and said, "You better prepare for the aftermath of the young lady as soon as possible." ”
"Is there really no way?" Lu Jing knelt down in front of the doctor and said, "I beg you, doctor, I am just such a daughter, she is still my wife's life in exchange, you can think of a way." ”
"The lord of the city can't help it, you get up quickly. The doctor pulled up Lu Jing in a panic, helplessly replied, "City Lord, it's not that I don't want to do it, it's really no way, Miss's heart is broken, all organs are damaged, and I have spent my whole life studying until today, even if you invite all the famous doctors in the world, even if you invite the holy hand of the ghost doctor, it will be useless, Miss is already terminally ill and has no skills, so let's hurry up and prepare for the future." ”
Lu Jing suddenly looked desperate, squatted on the ground to hide his face and cried bitterly.
Jiang Louyue stepped forward and asked, "City Lord Lu, why is Ling Yan so badly injured?"
Lu Jing raised his head, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "It's all that bamboo demon who harmed me!"
At night, Jiang Louyue and others sat in the courtyard.
Yunmi took out a compass from his bag and placed it on the table.
Jiang Louyue and the others watched quietly.
Yun Mi made a decision, and the pointer on the compass turned rapidly.
"Stop!" Yun Mi said.
The hands stopped suddenly.
"How is Yunmi?" Jiang Louyue asked.
Yun Mi replied, "This demon should have more than a thousand years of Taoism, and the details are unknown." ”
"Thousand ...... More than a thousand years. Chu Muyi was a little scared and said, "I haven't seen it when I'm so old, no wonder the Lu family can't win for generations." ”
"With a few of us, are we the demon's opponents?" Li Wuxian worried.
Jiang Louyue said leisurely, "What are you afraid of, you can't beat people, the signal smoke given by the Sky Gate is not fun." ”
"But that's a shame. "First admiration.
Jiang Louyue disagreed, "What's there to be ashamed of, if you can't beat it, you can't beat it, it's better than escaping." ”
"Hmph, it's as if you didn't run away. Beiyue Gu Heng sneered.
Jiang Louyue was displeased, slapped the table and got up and said, "Beiyue Gu Heng, how many times have I told you, I didn't escape last time......!"
"Just what?" Beiyue Gu Heng asked in disbelief.
"It's just ......," Jiang Louyue looked at Yun Mi.
Suddenly!
A piercing scream was heard in the distance.
Yun Mi heard that something was wrong, got up and left, and Jiang Louyue and the others also rushed over.
I saw a servant crawling and shouting in horror, "There are monsters!
"Demon, where is it!" Jiang Louyue stepped forward and asked.
The servant pointed to the back.
Jiang Louyue saw that at the corner of the corridor, a person walked out, and the person's eyes were glowing with a strange green light, and he was full of demonic energy.
He attacked Jiang Louyue fiercely, Jiang Louyue pushed the servant away, and dodged his claws sideways.
Yun Mi attacked the demon with his sword, and the two fought.
Jiang Louyue and the others drew their swords and stepped forward to help.
Yun Mi, Jiang Louyue, and Beiyue Gu Heng threw runes at the same time to control the demon.
Lu Jing stabbed at the demon with his sword, and the sword passed through the demon's body, and in an instant, the demon turned into a pile of bamboo leaves, scattered on the ground.
"Not good!" Jiang Louyue said, "It's a trick!"
At this time, Miao Miao, who had been taking care of Miss Lu Family, ran over and hurriedly said, "Master, Miss is gone!"
Lu Jing turned around and ran towards the Lu family's young lady's courtyard.
Jiang Louyue and the others also followed.
When I entered, I saw that the window was open and the bed was empty.
"Miss!" Lu Jing asked excitedly.
Miao Miao knelt down and cried back, "I don't know, I heard a strange noise outside, so I went out to take a look, and Miss was gone." ”
"Rubbish!" Lu Jing was angry and anxious.
Yun Mi walked to the window and found a purple bamboo leaf.
"We've been tricked. Yun Mi picked up the bamboo leaves and turned to them.
Lu Jing stepped forward and snatched the purple bamboo leaf from Yun Mi's hand, clenched it tightly in the palm of his hand, and said angrily, "It's him again, my daughter is like this, and he still refuses to let her go!"
Lu Jing turned around and walked out.
Jiang Louyue ran out to stop him and said, "City Lord Lu, where are you going?"
"I'm going to Zizhu Peak and break the corpse of a demon into ten thousand pieces!" Lu Jing gritted his teeth and returned.
Jiang Louyue said, "But you are not his opponent at all, that demon has more than a thousand years of Taoism." ”
"I don't care! I must rescue Xiao Tian, it's a big deal to die with him!"
"Lord Lu, I know that you love your daughter very much, but please calm down, Ling Yan and we will rescue you for you. Jiang Louyue assured him.
Yun Mi stepped forward and said, "Not bad." ”
Only then did the City Lord Lu calm down a little.
Then the city lord Lu took them to the bottom of the mountain, and Jiang Louyue and the others went up the mountain.
"This bamboo demon is really strange, it took so much effort to rob Sister Lu. Jiang Louyue said suspiciously as she walked.
Chu Mu once, "What's so strange, didn't you listen to what the city lord said, they have fought with him for generations, and they must have formed a lot of Liang Zi over time, this Miss Lu is the only daughter of the city lord of Lu, and the only bloodline of the Lu family, if you want me, I will definitely catch Miss Lu for revenge." ”
"Hey, Chu Muyi, your brain seems to have gotten a lot smarter lately. Jiang Louyue teased.
"What do you mean!" Chu Mu flicked away one by one.
Fortunately, Jiang Louyue's eyes were quick, and he dodged away, and the whip was whipped on the bamboo behind him.
"Chu Muyi, you want to kill someone. Jiang Louyue hid behind Yun Mi and said.
Chu Muyi scolded angrily, "Who told you to owe a cigarette." ”
"Don't make a fuss. Yun Mi opened his mouth and said to Jiang Louyue.
Jiang Louyue nodded hurriedly, "Okay, I won't make trouble." ”
