NOVEL WEB Chapter 504: Obscuring the Secret
Lu Yunchang said: "Old man, we are here to buy medicine."
Hearing that they were buying medicine, the old man opened the door and welcomed the two of them in.
As soon as he entered the gate, Lu Yunchang saw that the interior decoration was very particular, and every plant and tree revealed a kind of rules that seemed to be absent.
Yes, those are the rules.
It seems that if it were not arranged this way, the entire scene would completely lose its artistic conception.
"What medicinal materials do you two gentlemen plan to buy?" the old man asked directly.
His thoughts were interrupted, and Lu Yunchang had no intention of continuing to explore. He took out a list and handed it to the old man. The old man took it and just glanced at it. He did not show any surprise like the previous shopkeeper.
After reading the list carefully, he handed it back to Lu Yunchang and said, "We don't have any of the spiritual materials here. We need to ask our colleagues to see if we can get them for the young master."
"Good work."
The old man first poured a pot of tea for the two of them, asked them to wait a moment, and then went out.
Qin Yue didn't think anything of it, but Lu Yunchang felt that there was something unusual here.
"Old Qin, I want to go out for a walk." He stood up and walked out of Chunfeng Hall.
Walking aimlessly along the streets and alleys, I always felt like something was wrong, but I couldn't put my finger on it.
After falling back to the real state, both spiritual and spiritual consciousness were compressed to an extreme level, making them particularly uncomfortable.
Because Wenfeng Street is relatively old, there are not many people here on weekdays. When Lu Yunchang walked around, he didn't see many people wandering on the street. Compared with other streets, they are two extremes, even the old ones in Xijing City The street is much livelier than here.
He looked around and saw a tall building in the southeast. His heart moved and he walked towards the tall building.
As I got closer, I saw that the tall building had seven floors, and it seemed to be unused. The entire building is a wooden structure and is quite old. Many places are covered with cobwebs and dust.
The building was empty, nothing was placed, and even the door was only ajar and not locked.
Lu Yunchang stretched out his hand and pushed gently, and the door slowly opened with a creaking sound.
When the wind blew, a puff of smoke and dust suddenly rose up inside the building. He looked around carefully and found nothing out of the ordinary, so he found the stairs in the corner and planned to walk upstairs along them.
Just when he stepped onto the first step, the steps made an overwhelming sound and crackled.
He had no choice but to take his feet back, and when he was thinking about whether to use his body skills, he heard a voice: "This building has not been repaired for a long time, and it is no longer habitable."
Lu Yunchang looked around and saw a man in Tsing Yi standing by the handrail on the third floor and looking at him with a smile.
Lu Yunchang was a little annoyed that his spiritual sense had degraded to such an extent that he couldn't even sense anyone nearby.
Immediately he held up his hands and apologized: "Sorry, I accidentally entered this place by mistake."
The man in green said with a smile: "It doesn't matter."
With that said, he walked down the stairs.
Lu Yunchang looked at him walking down step by step, his eyes a little strange. The man in green explained: "After so many years, you are the second person who can see me."
"you are?"
Facing Lu Yunchang's puzzled gaze, he sighed and said, "My name is Qiu Li, and I am the designer and builder of this black jade city."
It wasn't until he came in front of him that Lu Yunchang saw that Qiu Li's whole body exuded a vague aura, which was not something ordinary monks could possess.
Suddenly he thought of a possibility and said in surprise: "You..."
Seeing that he had noticed it, Qiu Li did not hide it and said: "You are right, I have been dead a long time ago. What you see now is a little bit of my true spirit."
Only then did Lu Yunchang understand that no wonder he had always felt something was wrong. The original reason was here.
The layout of the entire area here is actually to cover up the secrets, just for the sake of the people in front of you.
Lu Yunchang said: "Since ancient times, the cycle of life and death has been a natural cycle. Since my predecessor has passed away, why does he linger on the world?"
Qiu Li sighed: "It's not that I am nostalgic for the world, but that someone deliberately arranged to seal my true spirit here."
After hearing this, Lu Yunchang was keenly aware that what happened to Qiu Li might not be simple. It's just that I am in too much trouble now and I really don't want to cause trouble anymore.
So Lu Yunchang asked directly: "So what is the purpose of senior showing up at this moment?"
Qiu Li wanted to say something else, but when he heard his question, he said directly: "I would like to ask Young Master for a favor to help me break this situation."
However, Lu Yunchang just apologized: "In such a big situation, I, a young monk in the real world, can't really do anything. Seniors should hire someone else."
After that, he turned around and left.
Just kidding, if you haven’t solved your own troubles, how can you have time to meddle in other people’s business? Besides, he was asked to help so much just after they met. He didn't even know the whole story, so how could he agree so easily?
Qiu Li looked at Lu Yunchang's leaving figure, with a flash of disappointment in his eyes. He sighed and then disappeared.
All the way back to Chunfeng Hall, the old man had returned and just finished handing over to Qin Yue.
Qin Yue said: "I'm pretty lucky, I've got all the medicinal materials."
Then seeing something wrong with Lu Yunchang's face, he asked curiously: "What's wrong with you?"
The old man also saw Lu Yunchang at this time. He seemed to suddenly remember something and couldn't help asking: "You...have you met your ancestors?"
Qin Yue looked confused when he heard this, but Lu Yunchang looked at the old man and asked: "Is Qiu Li your ancestor?"
When the old man heard his question, he became excited instantly. He came to Lu Yunchang in a few steps. His old hands couldn't help but tremble a little, and he felt like he was crying.
He looked at Lu Yunchang, his voice was trembling, and he asked, "Have you really seen your ancestors?"
Seeing Lu Yunchang's silence, Qin Yue asked doubtfully: "What's going on?"
Then Lu Yunchang told the whole story of his noticing something strange and meeting Qiu Li in a high-rise building.
Unexpectedly, after listening to Lu Yunchang's words, the old man shook his head and said: "Sir, you have misunderstood the ancestor. It is not that he is nostalgic for the world or has ulterior motives. He was harmed by others..."
Seeing that the two of them were about to leave, the old man took Lu Yunchang's hand and begged: "Master, can you listen to what I have to say? I will not say anything at all whether I am going or staying."
Lu Yunchang said: "Old sir, it's not that I don't want to help. It's that I am in trouble now. Besides, I am of a low level, so even if I have the will, I am powerless."
Qin Yue also said from the side: "Old man, why do you have to ask him to help? Is it because he met your so-called ancestor?"
The old man nodded: "Yes, ordinary people cannot see the ancestors, and even monks may not be able to see them. Only some special people can see him, and only those who can see the ancestors can break the situation. "
