Soul bound

Chapter 28

Before leaving, Lu Jiuyuan asked someone to send a letter back to Meng Chengye.After all, now that he is wearing the skin of someone else's son, he still has to do his part to repay the safety of others.

Yongcheng is hundreds of kilometers away from this city, and it takes about three days to ride a horse.Lu Jiuyuan and Lu Chilin traveled day and night, and they arrived at the Donglin Inn on the outskirts of Yongcheng on the third morning.

Donglin Inn can be described as thriving.He is the only inn in the suburbs of Yongcheng for a few miles. His boss is a cultivator, and he is the only cultivator here who has contact with the wandering island.Although the wandering island has escaped from the world for a hundred years, it still has to rely on the owner of Donglin Inn to obtain some outside information and supplies that are not available on the island.As for why this boss gave up his dedication to practice and started a business instead, that is another story.

Yongcheng is near the sea, and as soon as you enter the boundary, you can feel the "demon wind" rushing towards your face.With the whistling of the wind and the neighing of the walking horse, the rider on the horse could feel a huge obstacle, which seemed to throw him and the horse out.

Lu Jiuyuan got off his horse, pulled the horse rope and walked forward for a certain distance. From a distance, he could see familiar or unfamiliar monks coming in and out of the Donglin Inn door.

The two handed over the horse to the boy in the inn, and Lu Jiuyuan straightened his slightly messy hair, and followed Lu Chilin in.

They arrived early, and there were some monks eating breakfast in the lobby.Without squinting, Lu Chilin went straight to the shopkeeper and announced Lou Yunshen's name.

"Lord Lou has arrived the day before yesterday, and has reserved rooms for the two of you. Turn left on the third floor, and the two rooms at the end will be there. Please go to the back kitchen to inform me about the three meals."

"Thank you." Lu Chilin looked back at Lu Jiuyuan, and was about to signal him to go upstairs.

But I heard the boss say: "Ping Chuan." A young man in brocade clothes suddenly stood up in the lobby.

Lu Chilin glanced at it, and found that it was an unfamiliar face - he hardly recognized the faces of the few monks present.But Lu Jiuyuan recognized it.

Jiang Jing.

Thinking of this old friend of Meng Pingchuan, Lu Jiuyuan felt a little dizzy.

He turned his head towards Lu Chilin with a helpless expression, raised his finger and pointed in Jiang Jing's direction, signaling that he wanted to go and have a look.

There was a young man sitting next to Jiang Jing, whose appearance was [-]% like him.It's just that unlike Jiang Jing's romantic and cheerful, this young man's face almost seems to have a layer of hoarfrost, cold and not arrogant.He was pulling Jiang Jing's clothes and telling him to sit down.

Lu Jiuyuan caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye and recognized his identity—he was Jiang Yu.

When Jiang Yu was young, his swordsmanship was superb. Jiang Zongzhu once took him to visit Lv Jiuyuan and asked him for advice.At that time, Lu Jiuyuan only said a few words, and then refused.He said: "If you let nature take its course, you will become a great weapon."

He has seen Jiang Yu's sword, and he is very talented, even above Lu Jiuyuan. The key is his later understanding. Naturally, he has nothing to point out.

Now, more than ten years later, not only did the young boy grow up, but his temperament became more and more fierce.

"Master Jiang." Lu Jiuyuan greeted the two of them.

Jiang Jing grabbed his shoulders, trying to pull him to sit down.Lu Jiuyuan glanced at Lu Chilin in embarrassment, and the latter turned around calmly and went upstairs.

Lu Jiuyuan let out a short sigh, but was finally suppressed by Jiang Jing.

"I thought you weren't coming." Jiang Jing laughed.

"On the way, I followed Lu Futang to deal with some matters." Lu Jiuyuan didn't intend to hide the fact that he was walking with Lu Chilin, after all, everyone saw it.

Jiang Yu glanced up at him and continued to deal with the food in the bowl.

"My brother is like this, just ignore him." Jiang Jing said, "I haven't seen you since the accident in the ancestral hall that day, so you left with Lu Futang?"

Lu Jiuyuan nodded.

"You didn't even say anything to me. It made me go to my brother in the end." Jiang Jing curled her lips with an aggrieved expression, not paying any attention to Jiang Yu, who was at the side.

"I didn't have time." Lu Jiuyuan suddenly remembered what Jiang Jing said to him that day, and pouted at Jiang Yu who lowered his head, "Why did you let go."

Jiang Jing smiled, and patted his brother on the back in a big and small way: "After all, my brother."

Jiang Yu raised her head abruptly, frowned and grabbed his troubled paw, and said coldly, "Be calm."

Jiang Jing turned her head and smiled innocently at his brother.The latter was used to him like this, so he turned his head and ignored him.

"So you are following Linxuetang now?"

Lu Jiuyuan nodded.

"Then do you know about Lou Yunshen going to Changshan School?"

Lu Jiuyuan gave a suspicious "hmm" and asked, "Which time?"

Lou Yunshen went to Changshan faction twice, once to mention them, and once... because of that demon cultivator.

Jiang Jing: "An accident happened in the forbidden area of ​​the Changshan faction. I heard people say that the entire pool was blown up."

"I've heard of it, but I don't know."

"I've heard people say that the advance of the Wandering Island's trial may also have something to do with it."

Lu Jiuyuan didn't answer, and quietly listened to Jiang Jing's trickery.

But to be honest, he thought so too.

First came the Meng Mansion, then the Changshan School, and finally the Test Realm.The time interval is too close, and no one will believe it if it is a coincidence.

Just as he was listening to Jiang Jing talking about the news he had heard along the way, two more people entered the inn lobby.

Jiang Jing was facing the gate, and when he saw those two people, he immediately stopped talking.

"What?" Lu Jiuyuan followed his line of sight, only to see a pair of monks standing outside the door.A tall slender female nun and a man in a wheelchair.The female cultivator is average-looking, not good-looking, but just ordinary-looking.The man's face was pale, and he was half leaning on the wheelchair, looking a little thin.

"That's Yang Jun and Shu Zhuo." Jiang Jing said.He glanced at Lu Jiuyuan's expression and found that the other party was still in a daze, so he explained again, "Yang Yun is the second lady of the Yang family in Shuzhong, and Shu Zhuo is the original big disciple of the Qinglang Sect."

I have heard it.

Since Lu Jiuyuan woke up, he had heard many rumors that the leader of the Qinglang Sect had abducted the nun from the Yang family.

It's just that Shu Zhuo's appearance really doesn't look like a...

"Then what happened to his legs?" Lu Jiuyuan asked his doubts.

"It was broken a few years ago, and I don't know the reason. Since then, the Qinglang Sect has broken ties with him. Yang Yun took him around." Jiang Jing said.

Lu Jiuyuan: "Yang Yun has a deep affection for him."

"Isn't that right, I broke through for him..." Jiang Jing suddenly fell silent.

The reason is that the two people in his words are getting closer and closer to them.

Yang Jun carried two weapons on his back, one of which was wrapped in coarse cloth, which looked like a sword.The disciples of the Qinglang Sect have always been learning swordsmanship, and it seems that the sword was originally Shu Zhuo's weapon.

She pushed the wheelchair all the way and stopped in front of Jiang Jing's table.

"I'm Yang Yun, I'm nagging the three of you. I wonder if I can share a table with the two of us?"

Lu Jiuyuan looked around the hall, and there was indeed only one vacant seat at their table, so he turned his gaze to Jiang Yu.And Jiang Yu silently turned his gaze to his elder brother.

Jiang Jing raised his head, looked around the two of them, and said, "It's okay, please."

"Thank you three." Shu Zhuo said.

With the two of them sitting like this, Jiang Jing couldn't talk anymore.After a while, Lu Jiuyuan found a reason to pack his luggage and went upstairs.Jiang Yu also finished his slow breakfast and went to the backyard to continue practicing swords.Jiang Jing resignedly followed behind his brother, ready to be a stake.

When Lu Jiuyuan went upstairs, he met a man at the corner of the stairs.The man was wearing black clothes with a crane embroidered on the collar.He wore a bamboo hat on his head, covering most of his face, only showing a thin chin.

Except for the bamboo hat, they are all the usual attire of monks in Wanyuan Castle.

When Lu Jiuyuan passed by him, he said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Zi Shi, see you in the backyard."

The man's body stiffened for a moment, and then quickly recovered, as if nothing had happened and went downstairs.

Lu Jiuyuan didn't expect to meet Lu Cheng so soon, which saved him a lot of effort.
