Lu Jin stood alone in the empty house. At that helpless moment, she seemed to have suddenly grown up and matured a lot.
She understands that she needs to complete the road ahead alone.
The world is vast, and she is the master of it all.
After figuring this out, Lu Jin felt more relaxed and open-minded than ever before.
She jumped out of the high wall and ran wildly.
Along the way, I asked about the way home, taking the official road as much as possible, and resting for one night when I met an inn.
Lu Jin spent all his free time practicing martial arts and learning the invisibility skills taught to Hong Ji. It is indeed difficult to master this skill. So far, she has made no progress, and she is beginning to wonder whether she has the talent in this area.
More than a month later, Lu Jin successfully arrived in a town.
Seeing that the sun was setting in the west, she would probably have to spend the night in the wilderness if she continued her journey, so she found a pleasant inn to stay.
Feeling hungry, Lu Jin went to the hall downstairs and ordered a bowl of plain noodles and a plate of cooked meat, and sat in a quiet place to eat slowly.
"Master, Master, you don't have to send me off. I'll go back with Sister Wanruo right now. Take care of yourself." Lu Jin heard someone talking, and the person's mention of Wanruo shocked her.
What she fears most in the capital is Wanruo, who treats her coldly every day and looks like nothing she does is right.
Lu Jin peeked sideways, and one of them turned out to be Wan Ruo.
Wan Ruo held a girl's hand. The two elders seemed to be husband and wife, and they reluctantly saw each other off.
"Senior brother, don't worry, I treat Ding Ying like my own sister, and I won't let her suffer." Wan Ruo's voice sounded loud and bold.
Ding Ying?
Lu Jin was shocked again. Gu Shengchao said that Ding Ying was his unmarried wife, how could they meet here?
"I was originally waiting for that brat Gu Shengchao to get married when he had some free time, but he was so busy with official duties that he couldn't get away, so I simply handed the girl over to you. As long as that brat returns to the Four Kings Valley, he will be in a lot of trouble. If my sister arranges their wedding as soon as possible, it will solve our worries. We people in the world don't need those tedious etiquettes and can finally get things done." Lu Chuan said carelessly.
Fang Xingdan stepped forward and hugged Ding Ying reluctantly and said: "As my master, I have watched you grow up. You and I share the same sympathy as mother and daughter. Please listen carefully to your sister Wanruo. Your master uncle and I are going to the island to seek the way to become an immortal." It can take anywhere from a few months to a few years, so you have to take good care of yourself."
After saying that, Fang Xingdan almost couldn't help but shed tears.
Lu Chuan persuaded, "It's not a matter of life and death. We can rest assured that Wanruo will take care of us. You can just let them go back to the Four Kings Valley with peace of mind."
Fang Xingdan reluctantly let go of Ding Ying.
"Master, uncle, take care!" Ding Ying knelt down and kowtowed to them solemnly.
"Ding Ying, get up quickly, we will come back to see you." Fang Xingdan helped her up.
"Take care!" Wan Ruo saluted the two of them with clasped fists, and left with Ding Ying in stride.
Watching the two of them disappear into the streets outside the gate, Fang Xingdan couldn't hold on any longer and leaned against Lu Chuan.
"Why, your old disease has returned again?" Lu Chuan asked in a panic.
Fang Xingdan shook his head gently and shed two tears: "No, I have taken medicine today and it is under control. I am just heartbroken, I am afraid that I will never see that girl Ding Ying again in this life."
Helping Fang Xingdan sit aside, a waiter came over to ask, and Lu Chuan ordered two bowls of plain noodles.
Lu Chuan comforted him, "I've searched all over the world for famous doctors, and I'm sure they can prescribe the right medicine. I just don't know where the doctor is now. If I ask patiently, I can always find him."
"I concealed my illness and went out to see the scenery. I went out to see a doctor many times without telling Ding Ying. No doctor could diagnose it. I took a lot of medicine to no avail. It must be a terminal illness that cannot be cured. Recently, my legs have become very stiff and I have a headache at night. Sometimes her consciousness is blurred, so she can't hide it from Ding Ying, so she can only do this to prevent her from worrying." Fang Xingdan seemed to have accepted his fate.
Lu Chuan held her hand: "Don't be afraid, you will definitely be able to do something with me."
The waiter brought two bowls of noodles and the two of them ate slowly.
Lu Chuanqing
He said: "I heard that Wu Sect is good at medical skills. Let's go there to try our luck."
"The Wu sect is relatively loose, with three main locations: Qingfeng Valley, Fengjiazhai, and Panjiang Ridge. It is said that the leader has lived in Qingfeng Valley for a long time, but he has no friendship with them. If we were not introduced by acquaintances and went there rashly, I'm afraid they would not be willing to receive us. "Fang Xingdan was a little worried.
Lu Chuan said with a smile: "Don't worry, the worst we can do is fight with them. If we don't fight, we won't get to know each other. It's not like this has happened before."
His faint smile was full of domineering.
Fang Xingdan smiled and said: "I know you are very capable, but it's better to be less aggressive where you can be accommodating."
After Lu Jin finished eating, he sat there and thought wildly, wondering whether he should help.
After all, she was familiar with Baili Huan, but she didn't know where Baili Huan and Xiang Hongji were now. If she didn't know anyone in the past, people might think she was deceiving them.
Lu Jin was sitting there with a gloomy expression. Lu Chuan had noticed her for a long time, but he just saw her as a child and didn't take it to heart.
Lu Chuan and Fang Xingdan got up after eating noodles and were about to leave. Lu Jin couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "Seniors, please go slowly."
"Did someone ask you to send us a message?" Lu Chuan looked around and found nothing unusual.
Lu Jin has a sweet appearance and a soft voice, which can easily be misunderstood.
"No, I just overheard the conversation between two seniors. Maybe I can help." Lu Jin whispered.
"Is the little girl a disciple of the Wu Sect?" Fang Xingdan guessed.
Lu Jin waved his hand: "I am a disciple of the Boat Clan. I just met Brother Bailihuan of the Wu Sect by chance, and the Gu Shengchao you just mentioned. I guess I can help."
"What, do you still know Gu Shengchao?" Fang Xingdan asked.
Lu Jin flashed his big eyes and nodded.
"This is not the place for conversation. If the little girl trusts us, can we go to the guest room to talk?" Fang Xingdan said softly.
"Okay." Since he is Gu Shengchao's mentor, Lu Jin doesn't have to worry.
When Lu Chuan started walking, Lu Jin realized that he had difficulty walking on his right leg, so he took the initiative to greet the waiter and pay for the meal. Lu Chuan nodded slightly and relaxed his vigilance towards her.
Lu Chuan's guest room was on the first floor. After entering the room and waiting for Lu Chuan to sit down, Lu Jin went out and asked the waiter to bring a pot of hot tea, and then sat down face to face with him.
"What do you call the little girl?" Fang Xingdan said, looking at her with a smile.
"My name is Lu Jin."
Lu Jin replied, briefly telling them how she met Gu Shengchao and how she met Baili Huan.
"I came all the way, but I didn't see Brother Bailihuan and Sister Xiang Hongji. I'm not sure where they went. Brother Bailihuan has superb medical skills and can save a dying person. The senior has a ruddy face. I believe he can. The medicine can cure the disease." Lu Jin still had great trust in Bailihuan's medical skills.
"With Miss Lu Jin's good advice, let's go together and try our luck at the Wu Sect. What do you think, Miss?" Fang Xingdan asked Lu Jin's attitude.
"Okay, I'm not in a hurry to go home anyway, so I'll accompany the two seniors." Lu Jin was very attracted to Xiang Hongji and wanted to see her.
The three of them were traveling together, but because no one knew the way, they had to ask around.
After walking leisurely for about half a month, I finally saw hope. The innkeeper said that by riding upstream along the river in front of me, we could reach Qingfeng Valley in less than two days.
I heard from the shopkeeper that Qingfeng Valley is right on the roadside, just look at the huge stone engraved with the word "accumulation of blessings".
The three of them mounted their horses and headed forward. At dusk, they found that there were no more villages or inns. They had no choice but to simply eat the food they had brought with them and travel non-stop throughout the night.
As dawn was approaching, Fang Xingdan twitched all over without warning while riding on the horse, and his body became stiff and he was about to fall off the horse.
Lu Chuan's attention was always on her. Seeing the danger, he jumped over and held her in his arms, landing her firmly on the roadside.
"What's wrong? Are you sick again?" Lu Chuan asked with concern.
Fang Xingdan’s face
His color turned livid, and he lay upright in Lu Chuan's arms without any consciousness, but he hit his head with both fists.
Lu Chuan sighed, stretched out his hand and touched her acupuncture points, making her unable to move.
Seeing Fang Xingdan's painful expression, Lu Chuan was also in agony. He held her in his arms and sat behind the thick grass on the roadside in silence.
Lu Jin saw Fang Xingdan looking ill for the first time, and the only thing he could do to help was to lead the horse over, find a thin blanket and put it on Lu Chuan to shield the two of them from the growing coldness as the morning dew condensed.
"Thank you!" Lu Chuan looked at Lu Jin with kind eyes.
Lu Jin also put on a long gown and squatted aside to keep his body warm.
Suddenly, thick darkness enveloped the entire earth, and the world fell into endless darkness.
Lu Chuan and his wife were so close that they could only see a vague figure.
Lu Jin knew that this was the darkness before dawn, and the light was about to come.
At this moment, the ground began to shake, and a team of thousands of people passed by. Amidst the rumble, the dust kicked up by the horses' hooves made the night darker.
