Chapter 12 Everything, fate
When they reached the fifth floor, there were only three people around, including the previous one. Not far away, they were listening to Granny Yahan's teachings. Lu Chen saw that someone was there, so he didn't go too far, but he also secretly made some small moves with Ling Caiwei. Even if you come to the side and stand still, you will not be at ease.
Lu Chen's appearance attracted some strange glances from the three of them, but they didn't dare to look at it more, only their hearts fluctuated.
They went through a lot of hardships before they could get five layers from the first floor, and the sixth floor was no longer able to challenge, but Lu Chen was clearly given preferential treatment. Although his blood is like fire, his breath is only on the stage. Only cultivating like this at such an age is not considered to be talented, and he is definitely not a disciple of the Liangyi Sect. But he stands on one side, his status is different, and his identity remains to be guessed, and such a small action, if he is not blind, how can he not see it really?
Ling Caiwei is the saintess of Liangyimen, it is not a secret, many people know that she only came to Guanyun Tower to do stewardship for her experience. And Lu Chen's reputation is not obvious, don't say that the Holy Son of Liangyimen, it is difficult to be an ordinary disciple. Under this time, what is hidden is worthy of speculation.
"Ahem..."
Yahan's mother-in-law coughed lightly and glared at him, which made the restless Lu Chen restrain slightly.
"It's just these three people today, it's not too early, let everyone downstairs disperse. Wait until tomorrow afternoon, return to the original position and continue to climb the stairs. And the three of you, go to the backyard with the old man and stay for the time being. When the half-moon period expires, you will go with the old man to the Liangyi Gate. ”
The three of them should be, and leave with Granny Yahan.
And Lu Chen also went downstairs with Ling Caiwei to inform him, and when the crowd dispersed, he turned around and went to a corner of the backyard. There was no one around, and Lu Chen was restless again, but Ling Caiwei grabbed his palm and stopped him.
"You have seen today's events, and Granny Yahan can see it, and she knows it in her heart. Only the mother-in-law is kind-hearted and old, so she won't talk much, but the other three may not be like this. If you are in front of people in the future, don't go too far with today, otherwise once it spreads, it will not benefit you and me. After all, you are not a holy son, but I am a holy woman, even if I am real, but I am nameless. ”
Hearing this, Lu Chen's face was stunned, revealing a little loss.
Ling Caiwei could see it clearly, and when she glanced at him, she could only let go and let Shi do it as comfort.
"I, what I say, is for your own good... Don't ask for it in the future, don't want it like this. Your cultivation is still shallow, if you are known, Shen Cong will definitely have an accident. Even if it were me, I wouldn't have escaped heavy punishment, do you really remember it?"
"Remember, it's no longer like this before people, it's only after people. ”
Lu Chen responded with a smile, and waited for a while before stopping.
Ling Caiwei blushed and said a few more words to him, then she sorted out her clothes and went to the rockery pavilion.
"Your broken knife is not a good thing, but it is also a rare treasure, and the magic of it is extraordinary, so don't let others see it. The husband is not guilty, and you should understand the truth of guilt. When you get back to the Liangyi Gate, I'll look for a knife for you. If you need anything to cultivate in the future, you can also come to me, I will try my best to help you, don't slack off. If you take the position of the Holy Son as soon as possible, you and I can also settle our affairs as soon as possible, and there is no need to hide like this. ”
"Don't worry, I will definitely take the position of the Holy Son and marry you. ”
Lu Chen laughed, and he was full of pride in his heart.
Ling Caiwei only shook her head and smiled, and said something to Lu Chen, and when Yahan's mother-in-law came to arrange a place for the three of them, she answered and left.
Lu Chen was fine for a while, then turned around and walked out of Guanyun Tower.
His identity is unusual, he comes when he wants, he can go when he wants, and he likes to go out and wander during the day when he has nothing to do. The most frequented place is the owner of the steamed bun shop. After all, the owner of this bun shop is a great nobleman for him, if it weren't for the old man's guidance, there would be no Lu Chen today.
When he got here, the old man was greeting the guests, and Lu Chen didn't bother. Wait for the winner to go, and then come.
"Little brother has to be free again, come here to shop?"
The old man's surname is Xi, which is very rare, he has been familiar with Lu Chen in the past two months, and when he saw him here, he put down his work and started talking.
"It's leisure, but it's not leisure, there are some things to tell you. ”
Lu Chen smiled and naturally sat down on the side.
The old man was a little surprised when he heard this, and he also sat down on a wooden bench on the side and asked what happened to Lu Chen.
"After a while, I won't be able to come. ”
Lu Chen's face darkened slightly, sighed again, and took out the gold and silver left on his body from his arms, which was given to him by Ling Caiwei, a lot of them, and now they were stuffed into the old man's hands.
"Can't you come? Aren't you going to go to the Liangyi Gate, or Qingyun Mountain? But what does this mean?"
The old man held the gold and silver in his hand, and was a little overwhelmed for a while. He is just an ordinary old man, steaming some steamed buns to make ends meet, how have he ever seen such money, even if he is a little panicked, he wants to return these to Lu Chen. But the old man is just an ordinary old man, how can he be tough enough to beat Lu Chen? If Lu Chen does not accept it, the old man can only hold it, and his face is slightly uneasy.
"I want to go to Liangyimen, be a disciple of Liangyimen, and be a holy son in the future!"
Lu Chen laughed, and he didn't shy away from it, and spoke directly.
"I don't know if I can return to this Yueling City in the future, you are old and kind to me, but I can't do anything for the time being. This gold and silver can be regarded as a partial return, but it cannot be fully repaid. In the future, if you need Lu Chen, you can only go to the Liangyi Gate to find me, and you will definitely help you if you can. ”
"You..."
The old man shook his head and sighed, crying and laughing, and after hearing his words, he could only accept it.
"Your child is still young, and you have a great opportunity, and I can't say that there will really be a time to ascend to heaven in the future. Xiao Lao'er is just an ordinary person, and he hasn't helped you anything, but it's just some guidance, why do you have such a gift. ”
Although the guidance is ordinary, it has changed what happened to Lu Chen in his life. ”
Lu Chen shook his head, then got up directly, wanting to leave.
He had already made up his mind to pay attention to it, and now he just wanted to go to the Liangyi Sect as soon as possible to see it, and then work hard to cultivate in order to obtain the position of the Holy Son. When you are in the position of the Holy Son, you can be windy, rainy, and upright, and you can be with Ling Caiwei, and then you can go back here to visit the old man.
"Change your life, how can the little old man be..."
The old man sighed again, got up and grabbed Lu Chen's hands, showing reluctance on his face.
"Since you are leaving, I will not keep you any longer. The sky is high and the sea is wide, and there is a place for you to leap and fly. Only the old man got your gift, and he was ashamed in his heart, so he said a few more words, and you listened and thought. ”
"You will tell me, and I will listen, and I will remember. ”
Lu Chen laughed, just listen to the teachings.
"I am not a monk, and I cannot enter the path of a monk in my life, and I have nothing to teach you in my life. But the old man is old and has a lot of experience, so he only left a few words of advice, but a little nostalgia. ”
The old man shook his head and pulled Lu Chen to sit down again.
"Life is not satisfactory in the world, there are many regrets, you have to learn to accept it, in order to live safely. Only when the heart is strong can it withstand all kinds of ups and downs, so that life can be rich. Or maybe there is a moment of disappointment, or a moment of confusion, it is good to recognize the original heart, you must know that God never lives up to people. Everything has long been predestined. ”
Lu Chen was puzzled when he heard it, but he didn't understand it in his heart.
These words are the old man's lifelong insights, if you say that Lu Chen is at his age, you can understand it, but it is just a fantasy. He has not experienced much, and he has little experience, so he can only remember it for the time being and think about it later.
"Do you remember?"
The old man looked at him deeply, as if he could not be relieved.
"Remembered. ”
Lu Chen nodded, and repeated it again.
The old man nodded after hearing this, and shook his head slightly, only saying that he didn't understand it now, but he would understand it in the future. Speaking of the depths, the old man muttered a few words to himself that Lu Chen didn't understand, and it took a long time to calm down, and he handed over a meat bun with a smile, and talked to Lu Chen about other things.
After a while, Lu Chen said goodbye to the old man, and then went back to Guanyun Tower.
When he left, the old man's originally cloudy eyes suddenly became clear, and his originally rickety back was straight. He took out the gold and silver, weighed it for a moment, and suddenly turned his head to look at the corner of the shop, and gestured to the gold and silver in his hand.
"You want it too?"
"You're talking too much. ”
In the corner, there was a sudden sound that was eerie and terrifying. Then I saw a black light, and then spread, enveloping everything in it.
The old man's face remained unchanged, he just shrugged his shoulders and stuffed the gold and silver into his arms. Then he cleaned up the mess around him, turned around and went to the storefront to mix the flour and began to knead it.
"What the hell are you going to do?"
The same voice sounded in the black light again, but a little more annoyed.
"I'm not going to do anything. ”
The old man responded casually, and the movements of his hands stopped for the time being.
"If you leave on your own, aren't you afraid that Lu Chen will find out and be suspicious of you?"
"If I find out by him, that's a joke. ”
The voice sounded again, and he was always hiding in the fog of black light, and he couldn't see clearly. And it was dark, and the people on the road came and went, but it was as if they had not noticed anything unusual, and even if they passed by, they did not squint, as if they had not seen or heard anything.
The old man nodded, as if agreeing with what the voice said.
After a few moments, the voice sounded again.
"Don't worry about it in the future, and don't talk nonsense when he comes to you. A bet is a bet, and you've already lost two games, so you deserve it. If you get in the way, the bet will be null and void, but you have to consider whether the others will agree. ”
"Okay, I'm not in the way. ”
He replied nonchalantly, laughed again, and began kneading the dough again.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Didn't laugh at anything. ”
The smile on the old man's face was retracted, and he glanced into the depths of the black light, and there was no expression on his old face.
"I have promised you not to do anything superfluous in the future, and if you have nothing else to say, go back quickly, I still have business. ”
The voice was silent for a moment, and then a cold snort retracted the black light and quietly disappeared. After only a moment, someone stopped in front of the steamed bun shop and beckoned the old man in the shop to buy steamed buns.
The old man immediately responded, dropped the work in his hand, and had already returned to his rickety old appearance, greeting the guests with a smile. The previous things seemed to have never happened, the people on the street didn't know, the old people didn't say it, and no one in the world knew about it, and Lu Chen naturally didn't know either.
When he returned to Guanyun Tower, he went directly back to his room to cultivate. But seeing the silence in the room, a black glow appeared by chance, fell on Lu Chen, and then disappeared. He only concentrates on cultivation, attracting spiritual energy into his body, quenching it between his muscles, bones, flesh and blood, guiding the blood qi in his body to rise and improve his cultivation.
Lu Chen didn't know anything about the black light going and coming back.
