Soul bound

Chapter 24

The painting building was still full of laughter and singing, and the faint fragrance of makeup and wine permeated the air.The sweet-looking Liuying was half leaning against the window, looking affectionately at the pedestrians who stopped below.

Lu Jiuyuan and Lu Chilin turned into the backyard from the alley.

Bai Jingxuan sat on a rock, swinging her long legs, and the courtyard was full of female cultivators practicing swords.In Linxue Hall, the lineage of formation is the most powerful, but it does not mean that its swordsmanship is not good enough. After all, Cen Ming, the founder of the sect, is a unparalleled swordsman who moves everywhere with his sword. All idlers.The swordsmanship of these female cultivators is in the same line as Cen Ming's, and they are as sharp as men when they draw their swords and take out their swords, and there is no sense of incompatibility.

Bai Jingxuan saw the two came back, supported the rock and jumped down to the edge of the pond: "Vice-Tang Lu and Mr. Lu are back, thank you for your hard work."

Lu Chilin nodded indifferently, as a response.

Bai Jingxuan asked again: "How is the monster caught?"

"Not yet." Lu Chilin replied.

Bai Jingxuan said: "Is it a big monster? I need to send some people..."

"That's not necessary. Lu Futang felt that the monster was a little strange, so he decided to investigate for a few days before taking action." Lu Jiuyuan interrupted and said.

Bai Jingxuan's eyes wandered between the two of them, feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"in this way."

Lv Jiuyuan looked around, but there was no Lou Yunshen in the courtyard, so he couldn't help asking, "Why don't you see Lou Hall Master?"

Bai Jingxuan said: "In the afternoon, there was a message from the Changshan faction that there was a magic cultivator in the forbidden area last night, and they broke their formation and ran away... The hall master thought that the situation was different, so he left directly."

The hearts of the two moved.

As soon as they left, the demon cultivator appeared on his back, saying that it was a coincidence, but no one would believe it.Besides, judging from the situation of the Meng Mansion at that time, even if Lou Yunshen rushed over now, it would not help the matter.

I'm afraid that the water pool is similar to the ancestral hall, and there is an unknown—perhaps a well-known magic weapon hidden under it, and that happens to be the purpose of the magic cultivator.If Moxiu really came here for the magic weapon, then why did he do it?

Both of them had doubts in their hearts, and there seemed to be a hazy barrier ahead, lingering like a stick in their throats.

Lv Jiuyuan turned his head to look at Lu Chilin, and suddenly remembered what Lou Yunshen said last night, and asked again: "Master Lou said yesterday to go to the Wandering Island..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Bai Jingxuan took it over: "When your matter is finished, go to Jiangnan and wait for him... that's all, an inn in the suburbs of Yongcheng."

Yongcheng is near the sea. A hundred years ago, a fisherman in Yongcheng overlooked the sea and saw a green mountain island hidden in the mist.So far, Wandering Island has entered the WTO for the first time.

"Understood." Lu Chilin said, he glanced at Lu Jiuyuan lightly, and said to him, "Go to eat."

The implication is to go out with him.

"Okay." Lu Jiuyuan followed his footsteps and asked knowingly, "Is Chi Lin asking me to go shopping at the Lantern Market?"

Lu Chilin's eyeballs moved, his eyelashes fluttered and he blinked.His eyebrows are long and dense, and when you look closely, you can't tell how sad and pleasing to the eye.

By coincidence, Lu Jiuyuan stretched out his hand and touched it.But Lu Chilin didn't expect him to act like this, so he was caught in the face unexpectedly.

"doing what!"

It looks like a fur that has been fried, showing its sharp teeth and fangs.

Lu Jiuyuan withdrew his hand and said with a smile: "I'm in a difficult situation at the moment, please forgive me by Lu Futang."

"Meng Pingchuan, what do you mean?" Lu Chilin frowned.

Taking these words apart one by one, they are all things he is familiar with, but why he can't understand why they are connected together.

I can't help myself, I didn't say...

Lu Jiuyuan blinked at him: "What do you mean, I'll talk to you later."

The night is getting darker.

All kinds of lanterns are hung on both ends of the long street, such as those of the Chinese zodiac, and those of the octagonal painting... The stars are like the day, connecting the streets and the ends of the street, and the lights are shining like stars in the sky.

It seems that there are more people watching at night than during the day, and being illuminated by the warm light of the lanterns adds a bit of joy.The crowd coming and going on the street stopped at one place, carefully watching the oncoming bench long queue.A long rope was drawn between two willow trees near the river, and red gilt paper with word puzzles written on it was hung on it.The children in the Zongjiao held the lamps and bounced among the crowd, laughing at Yanyan on their powder-carved and jade-carved faces.

In the past, Lu Jiuyuan also took Lu Chilin to the Lantern Festival. Perhaps the process was very ordinary, but now he can't remember it.

Walking through the long embankment, you can see the pair of people holding hands on the arch bridge from a distance.Liu Yuesheng stood behind Shen Qingqian, protecting her from releasing the Kongming lantern.The black characters on the lamp surface, presumably it's just those inseparable words.

Faintly glimpsed again, under the arch bridge, there was still a person standing silently watching.There was a clear light in her almond eyes, and she was so dazed that she didn't show any expression, and she didn't know if she was sad or thinking about something else.

Qing Wan's heart in that room is definitely not what others see.

She lowered her head, as if she was looking at her left chest, or at her feet, then gritted her teeth.

The old man who sold the lantern came forward, smiled and handed over a lantern, and said in a hoarse voice, "Girl, buy a lantern. Your family will be safe and your lover will never change...you can ask for anything."

The mink turned his head and said softly, "Thank you old man, I don't need it."

Then, turn around and leave.Her steps were fast, as if she was fleeing.

But after a while, her pace slowed down, and she seemed to think about it for a while, then turned around and said to the old man, "Give me one."

The old man smiled kindly, and handed over a lotus-shaped river lantern: "Why is the little girl so thin-skinned, but she wrote it for her lover?"

Qing Wan blushed immediately, and said falteringly: "Not... not."

How could her little thoughts escape the eyes of the old man, who still smiled, shook his head slightly, and continued to sell lanterns.

Lu Jiuyuan: "That Diao Yao is cute."

Lu Chilin gave him a sidelong glance, but didn't speak.

Qing Wan picked up the pen, looked up at the two people on the arch bridge, and wrote down a name.If Liu Yue was born here, he would definitely find that her handwriting was [-]% like his own.

But what she wrote was not Liu Yuesheng's name.

But -

Lu Changze.

After lighting the candle, Qing Wan leaned over and put the river lantern into the water.The flame on the short candle went out, and the lantern floated unsteadily along the river to the distance.

Thousands of lights flow eastward all the way.

Qing Wan clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and read a few words.When she raised her head, she met Shen Qingqian's gaze, and the red cloud on her face suddenly became more intense.

"I don't understand." Lu Jiuyuan said.

Lu Chilin also shook his head.

"Why don't we go and put a lantern?"

"No." Lu Chilin refused cruelly.

As the night wind passes by, Yiyi willow lifts up its ribbons, carrying an indescribable smell in the wind.

Qing Wan suddenly stood up from the river, as if she had sensed something, her eyes froze, she pushed aside the crowd and ran towards the arch bridge.

There was a black wind on the bridge, and a strong man wrapped in black gauze clasped Liu Yuesheng's throat from behind.

The man tilted his head and let out a low "ho ho" laugh.

He opened his mouth and said a word silently.

There was chaos on the arch bridge, Lu Jiuyuan and Chi Lin were about to draw his sword out of its sheath, when the black wind rose again, and the man disappeared on the bridge with Liu Yuesheng.
