Manor Romance

Chapter 430 Lu Xiuyue

Yunli didn't bring any presents with him this time, so he gave Lin Changqing a string of Buddhist beads found on Langbo Street in the morning. Lin Changqing liked this kind of thing very much, seeing that the string of Buddhist beads was not so expensive, he took it. But Yun Li later added a sentence to ask him to take it, and it is not right, because in this string of beads, there is one that was polished with relics, but the color and texture are very similar to other beads, and it is difficult to distinguish without careful observation. Come out, the value of this string of beads can be imagined.

Because there was still something to do at night, Yun Li sat at their house for a while and then left. Lin Changqing wanted to see him off, but Yun Li persuaded him. The person he came to meet this time was not simple, and he was sure that he was not No eye and eye tracking, but some things are better to be careful, he doesn't want to cause any trouble to this old friend.

After leaving Lin Changqing's home, he rushed to a residence on the outskirts of Lambert Street according to the address. The suburb was very quiet at night, unlike the bustling tourist area, Yunli quickly found his destination. It looks nothing special, but when you open the door and walk in, you can see white strips hanging on the door of the main house, candles are lit on both sides, and some offerings are piled up. It seems that a funeral is going on.

Yunli confirmed several times that the place the other party was pointing at was indeed here, but he didn't know what the intention was, so he went in without fear, and there were not many people in the room. An old woman with gray hair closed her eyes Sitting on the side of the mourning hall, An looked very peaceful, without any sense of sadness. Beside her was a young man about fourteen or fifteen years old, who was throwing paper money and other offerings into the brazier.

When Yun Li looked at the photo above the mourning hall, he couldn't hold his thoughts for a while, and the doubts in his heart were repeated. This scene seemed familiar, and he couldn't tell which old guy Mo Chen was going to play this time. Because the photo on the mourning hall is Mo Chen himself, this is the second time he has come back to attend his funeral.

Just when Yun Li was puzzled, the old woman suddenly opened her eyes and looked at him. Yun Li was looked at by her unnaturally. This person is not simple, so he focused his attention on the old woman at this moment. On her body, she can basically be sure who it is. She has an aura similar to Lu Dong's. Yunli is quite sure of this. Before he could ask, the old woman said:

"You came a step too late. He went away quietly yesterday morning. I have asked someone to cremate his body. When the matter here is settled, I will take his ashes back to his hometown in Singapore."

"It shouldn't be a fake again this time, right? You two are very good at this. The old man shouldn't be out of skill, so let's play this trick again." Without seeing Mo Chen himself, Yun Li Unable to confirm whether he was really dead, remembering how the old fox had fooled himself before, he couldn't help asking.

"Actually, for people like us, there is not much difference between living and dying. You should know my identity. Let me introduce you officially. My name is Lu Xiuyue. I have heard about Lu Qiu and Lu Dong. Anyway, I want to thank you for bringing those little fellows of the Lu family out of the Wahuang Palace." The old woman still replied very kindly, and she couldn't feel the slightest emotion in her tone.

This old woman is Lu Xiuyue, and Yunli can be sure of this. As for whether Mo Chen really died like this, he still can't be sure, but the fact should be like this. After all, even Lu Xiuyue appeared here, this matter should be There is nothing strange about it.

The letter he received was written to him by Mo Chen. Since he took the initiative to invite him to meet, he probably wouldn't play tricks on him, but he didn't expect him to go before he could come. This should be an accident, right? Just as Yun Li wanted to ask the reason, Lu Xiuyue waved to him and said:

"You should burn a stick of incense to him first. Since A-Ci didn't come, you will give this heart on her behalf. You all know the truth of the matter. There are not many discrepancies. You still want to know more details I can give you an answer at any time, and I can be regarded as one of the masterminds behind that incident, and I know everything he knows."

Now that she said so, Yun Li followed suit. The young man next to Lu Xiuyue was very sensible and handed him long incense. Yun Li didn't know what their customs were like, and he had never given incense to anyone before. After the long incense was lit in the brazier, they imitated the habit of the villagers of Shanglu Village when offering sacrifices, knelt in the center of the mourning hall with the incense in their hands, bowed three times to Mo Chen's photo, and then inserted the incense into the incense basin, and waited After he finished these, Lu Xiuyue spoke again:

"He's been in very bad health recently. He guessed that he didn't have many days to live, so he arranged the funeral one by one. In the end, he was still worried about Ah Ci and wanted to see her, so he wrote you that letter. It's a pity he Before you come, I can only settle his last wish, if you have any questions, I can answer you directly now, and we will talk about other matters later."

Yun Li guessed right, the old fox came to him and Lu Ci, there must be something wrong, but he searched in his mind, it seems that there is nothing to ask, he basically knows everything he can know, if the Lu family intends to hide it They probably wouldn't say anything to Lu Xiuyue, so he shook his head at Lu Xiuyue and replied:
"Let's go directly to the topic. Since Mr. Mo has left, I have nothing to pursue. If the truth of that incident is true, then Mr. Mo is Lu Ci's savior. I agree with this point and I am willing to give him To fulfill my last wish."

Lu Xiuyue was a little surprised by Yunli's answer, and soon she changed her eyes appreciatively, nodded to Yunli and said, "Sure enough, you are a dragon among men. If there were not so many misunderstandings and conflicts between us, you don't have to. Come to this point, boy, go down and rest, call your elder brother over, and say that the guests have arrived."

Lu Xiuyue spoke halfway, and turned to the young man to give instructions. After hearing the sound, the young man immediately stood up and walked quickly into the room. Not long after, a middle-aged man with gray hair and a haggard face came out. , when Yunli saw him, he felt very familiar. This person is so similar to that person, but judging by his face, he is at least 50 years old. Could it be that he is his immediate elder?

Just when Yunli was puzzled, the middle-aged man came directly to Yunli and looked at him with a smile on his face. After embarrassing Yunli for a while, he laughed and asked, "What's wrong with you?" It hasn't been long, and you don't recognize me so soon?"

Upon hearing this voice, Yun Li immediately connected this person with the person in his mind, but he couldn't accept the situation for a while, and blurted out: "Are you Brother Lu Kang?"

The other party nodded to him, and said with an undiminished smile: "I knew you would have this expression. Does it feel like you have traveled through decades?"

When he said this, Yunli was more sure that he was Lu Kang. When he thought of their experience in the Wahuang Palace, he immediately understood what was going on, and asked anxiously: "Shouldn't it be that crescent bone that killed you?" Make it look like this, I really didn't quite recognize you just now, are you okay?"

"It's just me. It's hard to say that it's good. You've seen the situation. My physical aging has reached the level of a normal person around 55 years old. It's not bad if I say it's bad, because of the recent aging condition. It has stabilized, at least I am still alive." Lu Kang confessed to Yunli.

He is Lu Kang whom he has not seen for many days. Yun Li never thought that he would end up like this, nor why he appeared here. There were many doubts in his heart, so he immediately found a point to ask: "Since you have The new owner of the Crescent Bone should also be immortal, why is it different from that Yu Clan Chief, is there something wrong?"

Lu Kang gave a wry smile, shook his head and explained: "Being its owner has to pay a price, and my price should be my lifespan. I'm not sure if I'm immortal now, and I don't have the guts to take it." Stab yourself with a knife to verify it, but after the crescent bone left the palace of Emperor Wa, its effectiveness has weakened a lot, there is no way to do it."

Yunli understood it as soon as he heard it. This is indeed a very normal thing. Thinking about the suction force he felt when he touched the crescent bone, it should be absorbing his own life essence. It's hard to predict the consequences, but Lu Kang's end made Yunli quite emotional, and even a little regretful. After all, they are also partners who have shared hardships. Although there are still many conflicts between him and the Lu family, Lu Kang's this The situation made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Seeing Yunli's expression, Lu Kang stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "You just need to recognize me as a friend, and you don't have to put on such an expression, making it look like today is my funeral .”

Yun Li also smiled, he still can't get used to Lu Kang's appearance, and suddenly thought of something, so he asked sideways: "You have successfully sent the crescent bone back to the Lu family, so your goal has been achieved What? Do you think that effort was worth it?"

Hearing this question, Lu Kang's expression paused, but he quickly put on a firm look, and replied: "It's not a question of whether it's worth it or not. It's a matter of my life to be able to complete this mission for the family." The most glorious moment among people, and I haven't reached the point where I can't move, and I can still do a little bit for the family."

As soon as he said this, Yunli knew that the other Sumeru Stone should have been repaired by him. For Lu Kang, it was indeed an extremely honorable thing to be able to save the Lu family's treasure that had been passed down for thousands of years. It's a pity that he But he only got this end in exchange. If there was no such accident, he should be the next head of the Lu family.
