Lao Lu and Aunt Li also have a lot of good things going on.

Both of them are somewhat interesting, but in a conservative rural town like Yuhang, it is not possible to do whatever you want. Especially when their second generation Li Xiaoyao, Ding Xianglan, Wang Xiaohu, etc. have all grown up, they have to hide their thoughts in their hearts for the sake of the next generation's face. In the small town of Yuhang, Aunt Li even studies Taoism to stay young, but she has to hide it for fear of being gossiped about.

But it was different when he came to this world - Lao Lu took Aunt Li to the Civil Affairs Bureau without saying a word, and the two of them were "married" with a stamp of approval. The whole process didn't take more than two hours.

"Are you really the one who made Aunt Li look like this?" Lu Yuan asked in a low voice after being taught a lesson by Xiao Xiao. Aunt Li left the two of them to cook and dragged Ling'er away, leaving the courtyard for the two grown men to talk.

"I drank too much that day." Lu Dongbin looked decadent, as if he was still missing his lost youth.

"Don't tell me, your plastic surgery skills are pretty good." Lu Yuan admired him sincerely. The ancients said, "If you add one point, it is too long; if you subtract one point, it is too short." If you want to get good results by using a knife on your face, it is a very complicated technique! Even if you use magic to perform plastic surgery, you must at least have a strong aesthetic point of view and rich medical knowledge. Otherwise, after taking action, the result obtained may be very different from the imagined picture! I haven’t seen many people who look good after plastic surgery every year, but countless people become disabled!

"I was good at that," Lu Dongbin said melancholy, "I just saw some pretty good-looking girls singing and dancing on TV, so I randomly picked one and copied it..."

"I guess," Lao Lu suddenly realized and slapped his thigh, "I just said it's like the one from Girls' Generation..."

"Whoosh", a water ladle flew out of the house and knocked him out!

*****

"Xiao Luzi is gone?" Aunt Li came out of the room with faint traces of tears on her face.

"Yes." Lu Dongbin faced the empty courtyard, poured another glass of wine, and sipped slowly. Already on the high-rise building, the two masters and apprentices who came to visit before came and left happily. On the table in front of Lu Dongbin, there is a golden thread-bound book with six regular characters of "Lü Dongbin's Little Magic" written on it.

Whether it is calligraphy or naming rules, this book cannot be written by Lu Dongbin of the Tang Dynasty. But this book of Taoist tips that Lu Yuan got from the "Caribbean World" was the beginning of Lu Yuan's relationship with Lu Dongbin, so he left this book to Lao Lu as a parting gift...

When Lu Dongbin came back this time, he found that this world, which was supposed to be like stagnant water, actually had a trace of life! It stands to reason that history has already taken a different path in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. The two sides are like parallel railroad tracks, and they should have nothing to do with each other from now on. But after the world over there changed, the world here also changed accordingly, indicating that there was an obvious interference phenomenon between the two timelines.

He and Lu Yuan made some deductions on this issue, and finally came to the guess that history may not be a tree with countless branches, but a large river that is quite consistent.

History may diverge at a certain point, or it may converge again at a certain point. And the current world has a tendency to merge with the changed world. Lu Yuan jokingly gave an example. It is said that several companies he worked for after college either closed down or were acquired - which means that if you want to check his work experience, it is almost impossible to find it! To some extent, his personal history has become ambiguous and less clear-cut - is this a sign of historical convergence?

This is also the reason why Lao Lu does things unscrupulously. Now that the concentration of spiritual power has increased, people with supernatural powers will soon appear, and the world has begun to change.

Neither Lu Yuan nor Lao Lu knew what the future would bring, but they had enough time to wait and see.

Lu Dongbin's hand touched the golden booklet. Although the book was not written by him, he could clearly feel a connection with it... Looking at the vast starry sky, Lu Dongbin couldn't help but use a voice that only he could hear. , whispered, "The world is so big, I really want to see it."

But the moonlight was bright, turning the courtyard where he was into a small siege.

So, Lao Lu, the dream will be over after a while. You should just stay in the besieged city.

"Master, are you really okay if you just leave Uncle Lu alone?" Zhao Ling'er asked, "After talking to you, I see that Uncle Lu is quite distressed."

"That's my purpose."

"...Master, you are really bad." Zhao Ling'er touched her cheek and added proudly. "Fortunately, Ling'er emerged from the mud without being stained." Zhao Ling'er was lightly flicked on the head and pouted, but he couldn't see clearly under the night. "Master, what shall we do next?"

"Solve my last doubt in this world." Lu Yuan grabbed Zhao Ling'er's hand and jumped around the world like a phantom. One moment I was in Chengdu, and the next moment I was in the coastal capital, a huge city with bustling traffic and lights like daylight. "How I died."

"Why did you die?" Zhao Ling'er repeated in disbelief.

"Well, before I boarded the ship, my last memory was of being drunk... Later, the Lord God told me that I was summoned to the Dawn after my death. There was a period of memory loss in the middle, and I still can't remember it. Maybe this time This question can be solved.”

The memory of playing "Baldur's Gate" on the iPad before entering the first world was actually a boot program for him to integrate into the first world. The missing attribute points and the like were all fake. . Lu Yuan's last memory was drinking with several colleagues, and Nana later informed him that the cause of his death was indeed "overdrinking, causing myocardial infarction." Although it made perfect sense logically, Lu Yuan could not recall that memory no matter what!

So, he felt there must be something wrong here.

"Ah? Then we want to save you... No, if we save you in this world, then you will not be summoned by the Lord God, and you will not be able to board the Dawn, and you will not appear on Fairy Island. Then Will you still become Ling'er's master?" Zhao Ling'er, who wanted to understand, was immediately confused.

"I don't know." Lu Yuan replied simply. "But I don't want to save myself. I actually just want to know how I died."

"...Okay." Ling'er still had a sad face. If you have the ability but do nothing to save someone, wouldn’t that make you a bad person? But if you save me, you may not have a master... It’s so confusing! "Master, I think we need to think about it carefully. It's best to think about it for a few more days before making a decision."

"Haha~" Lu Yuan smiled and touched his little disciple's head, leading her through the city like a phantom. "You can think about it slowly...there are still 25 minutes before my death."

*****

"Wait a minute, did I end up with Li Ling at the last moment before I died?!" Lu Yuan looked at the other side of the road in disbelief. At this moment, he felt that the whole world was full of malice!

The two people walking across the road were clearly the fat version of Lu Yuan and the reincarnation of Yu Qing, Li Ling! It seemed that Lu Yuan had drunk a lot of wine and was staggering when he walked, but he kept talking. Li Ling was made to laugh from time to time, and his eyes were as tender as water, not at all as cold as usual.

Lu Yuan wanted to cover his face - he knew that some people went crazy after he drank, and he could often shock everyone with his words - the good ones were witty words, and the bad ones were dirty jokes and running on the train... Lu·Holmes Brand Conan·Yuan Swift He came to the conclusion, "There is only one truth! After I drank too much, I called Yuqing... No, it's Li Ling now. I called Li Ling and asked her out! Ling'er..."

"Master! It turns out you were a fat guy in the past!" Zhao Ling'er was obviously not on the same channel as him. Lu Yuan rolled his eyes helplessly, fat people have no human rights! It was as if he saw that the possibility of his rescue was instantly cut in half.

"Ling'er..."

"So Master, you really went to South Korea to have plastic surgery, right?"

Okay girl, you win, you should continue to immerse yourself in your own world. Lu Yuan gave up communicating with his young disciple and began to look for dangerous elements around him - this is a downtown area and should actually be very safe. The risks Lu Yuan was looking for, such as dirt trucks breaking into the city in the middle of the night, or objects falling from high altitudes... did not appear for the time being. Lu Yuan could only hold his little disciple and watch him from a distance, the pair of old friends walking in front of him, whose laughter made people miss him.

Time is passing little by little, heading towards the last minute.

"Dang~" A recording of bell ringing came from a nearby bar. "Dang~"......

Lu Yuan's expression changed. In the last fifty-five seconds, an irregular spatial twist appeared directly in front of the street! If the street is counted as a straight line, then the space twists in front, with Lu Yuan and Zhao Ling'er behind, and Li Ling and Li Ling are just sandwiched in the middle! "Someone wants to tear apart the space!" Lu Yuan shouted, holding Ling'er's hand and rushing forward! He didn't want to save himself, but wanted to save Li Ling and know what happened back then.

The twisting in space is still increasing, and it is torn to the maximum in an instant! At the moment when the dark space was torn apart, there was a "bump" and a bronze box fell in from the rift in time and space. Wait, what happened back then? Why is this person transferred from the space crack actually..."Dead Man's Box?" Lu Yuan didn't know how many times he would be surprised tonight.

Obviously, "Lu Yuan" and Li Ling who were walking in front were also startled by the sudden appearance of the bronze box.

"Dang!" The sound of the box opening was combined with the sound of a bell, and a little foot kicked open the lid from inside the box. A girl wearing a long skirt and wide sleeves rolled out of the box. "Master...Master!" This was not Ling'er, but the girl who was shouting. She looked around blankly at first, and then suddenly stopped her eyes on Li Ling.

"Master!" The shining sword light pierced the sky, and the girl rushed towards Li Ling with her sword. Facing the sudden situation, Li Ling, who was called master, was confused, but the drunk "Lu Yuan" subconsciously stopped in front of Li Ling. "Get away, fat guy!" the girl screamed, the sword light flashed, and "Lu Yuan" was thrown away without any resistance.

Time seems to be frozen at this moment - the unstable space is torn apart, the open box of the dead, "Lu Yuan" flying far away, the girl rushing forward, Li Ling who is both stunned and enlightened - from front to back It forms a wonderful picture!

*****

The "Dead Man's Box" that appeared in the Caribbean world was once obtained by Lu Yuan. He first killed the soul of the ancient monk hidden in it, then used the Dead Man's Box to kill the soul of the big octopus Kraken, and finally cast it using the Dead Man's Box. His first legendary item, the "Book of Sea Monsters".

Back then, he successfully carried out the cross-level creation with the help of the mystery of the "Dead Man's Box". He probably didn't even study a tenth of the true structure of the "Dead Man's Box" before it was destroyed. However, at that moment, when Lu Yuan saw the big bronze box at the first glance, he recognized the various factors that made up the box... They were all acquaintances!

The melted remains of the broken bronze bell from Qingba Hanshan Temple on the Tibetan border; the forging technique of Xinru Shenni's heart lamp; the ancient artifact, but was wasted by the ashes of the Yellow Emperor's "Nine Questions Cauldron"... and the demon corpse Qiongqi’s remnant soul! With the help of the power of time and space of the Jiuyi Cauldron and the insulator of the giant bell's remains, and guided by the ancient remnant souls - it turns out that the original purpose of the "Dead Man's Box" was to send people through time and space? !

The girl who jumped out of the box was, of course, Master Yuqing's beloved disciple Zhang Yaoqing. She was probably looking for her master, but somehow she found the reincarnation of Yu Qing in another timeline... The causal logic here is simply a mess!

"Master," Zhao Ling'er tugged at the corner of his clothes hard, "Aren't you allowed to take care of the people over there?" Unexpectedly, Lu Yuan was unmoved, "Look carefully, there may be only one chance for this scene - that is fate The goddess lifted up her skirt!"

Li Ling's hand glowed with white light, apparently he had awakened from his past life during the crisis! But Zhang Yaoqing blocked him in front of him. Zhao Ling'er wanted to take action, but her hand happened to be held firmly by her master. Zhang Yaoqing was so happy that she didn't even realize what she had done... So everyone watched the fat man flying away and bumping into the bronze box!

"Dang~" the last bell rang.

The "Dead Man's Box" rolled and fell into the space crack, disappearing instantly.

Lu Yuan died.

ps: The protagonist is dead and has lost his memory. Will the book be a masterpiece if it ends here?

ps2: The Dead Man's Box was a key item for Lu Yuan's second leap in strength. At that time, he thought it was interesting, so he dug a small hole - there was no remnant soul of an Eastern monk in the Dead Man's Box in the original movie.

ps3: Some book friends have long said that Zhang Yaoqing, who was thrown to the Dragon Subduing Monk, is the most pitiful character... (To be continued.) m.
