Chapter 42: Who is spreading rumors

Xiao Lan let out a "pouch" laugh, and slowly moved his finger across the corner of his lips, and then lowered his head to kiss again.

The ancients said it well, and enjoy the fun in time.

Quiet morning, warm sunshine, soft bedding, and favorite people. There was the sound of pots and bowls colliding in the kitchen. It was Ah Liu who was cooking. After opening the lid of the basket, the scent of steamed buns diffused. The whole courtyard was surrounded by the smell of secular and peaceful fireworks. It was the best moment in this life. .

Lu Chai put his arms around his shoulders and refused to open his eyes, or simply said he was reluctant to open his eyes.

Xiao Lan dropped another kiss between his eyebrows: "Remember what I told you?"

Lu asked: "Mrs. Tao?"

Xiao Lan nodded.

Lu Zhui leaned in his arms: "Did Aunt Gui remind you?"

"For so many years, no one can guess what my mother thinks," Xiao Lan said, "Of course she won't hurt me, but you may not."

Lu Zhui said, "Leave aside Mrs. Tao's matter, I have another thing to ask you."

"What?" Xiao Lan pulled up the quilt, covering his exposed shoulders.

"Who is the real owner of Mingyue Tomb? Aunt Gui never told you, did she?" Lu Zhui looked at him.

Xiao Lan shook his head and hesitated: "The real master?"

"Aunt Gui is just a guardian of the tomb, guarding the ever-bright lantern for the owner of the tomb in the underground," Lu Chai said, "there was originally the ancestral grave of my Lu family."

"Mingyue Tomb belongs to the Lu Family?" Xiao Lan was surprised.

"Yeah." Lu Zhui said, "Thousands of years ago, there were constant wars on both sides of the Lanhe River. The ancestors of the Lu family established themselves as kings, leading their troops from south to north, trying to dominate the world, but in the end they were defeated in Xicheng and fled in a hurry. Be incognito, and never seen again."

The Mingyue Tomb is the tomb built by the Lu family in its heyday. Everything is modeled on the ancient imperial tombs. The underground is a hundred li criss-crossed with organs. The magnificent hall is inlaid with countless deep-sea pearls, reflecting the Lu family's long-sleeping. Ancestors, and the gold and pearls piled up into mountains.

"After the defeat of Xicheng, the imperial court sent troops south to destroy Mingyue Tomb, but without exception, they died tragically in the maze and organs. Later, a new war broke out in the territory. With the rivers and lakes competing for the throne, the Mingyue Tomb was gradually forgotten by the world." Lu Chai said, "There are only a group of tomb guards, accompanied by Muyu solitary lanterns, passed down from generation to generation."

Xiao Lan hugged him tightly, feeling that she was listening to the story.

When the war on both sides of the Lanhe River subsided and the four seas were unified, it had been a hundred years since the ancestors of the Lu family raised their troops.

"The longer the time passes, the weaker the relationship between the guardian and the Lu family." Lu Chai said, "And today, except for the owner of the Mingyue Tomb, only the Lu family and Mrs. Tao remain. "

"Do you want to get back Mingyue Tomb?" Xiao Lan asked.

"I want to destroy Mingyue Tomb." Lu Chai replied.

Xiao Lan frowned slightly.

"Don't you want to ruin it?" Lu Zhui looked at him, "Mingyue Tomb has long been more than just a mausoleum. Over the years, rumors and rumors in the rivers and lakes have increased day by day. Those so-called treasures and immortal medicines have attracted many people. The Mirror Flower Array of Death, the ancestors of the Lu family planted a maze of organs to sleep in a dream, not to bear blood debts. And what do you think is the source of this rumors?"

Xiao Lan said, "Aunt?"

"You think so too." Lu Chai said, "I guess so."

After Aunt Gui took over the tomb of Mingyue, the number of gnomes and organists in the tomb gradually increased, and the tomb passages that had been covered with cobwebs were reopened. Xiao Lan was not very interested in the things in Mingyue’s tomb. For many years, he had only led people to guard the Red Lotus Hall at the entrance of the tomb, and rarely went to the Nether Palace where Aunt Gui lived. At this time, he felt strange when he said it. Come.

"When I was a child, I was often taken to the depths of the tomb by Aunt Gui." Lu Chase said, "You may have forgotten, but I once cried to you secretly, saying that the tomb was wet and slippery, and there were many poisonous insects and insects. Bones, I don’t want to crawl, but Aunt Gui forced me to crawl, just to see if I can get through those institutions with the blood of the Lu family. Fortunately, she takes into account my father’s identity and will kill me every nine deaths. Hold it back."

Xiao Lan said, "What was I doing in that battle?"

"You will give me candy, and then take my hand to the Red Lotus Hall." Lu Chau smiled, "Although I can't go out of the tomb there, I can see the sunrise and sunset, the stars and the moon, and blow the wind. "

Xiao Lan squeezed his hand.

"But apart from these, Aunt Gui is not bad to me," Lu Zhui said, "When I grow up a bit and learn to file a complaint, she will no longer force me to climb the grave, but it may be because of the trial. Hundreds of times, I finally found that I was not as good as those dwarfs."

"Complaint?" Xiao Lan asked, "Who to sue?"

"My parents, they will come back to see me every time they finish something." Lu Zhui said, "Not much at most, I can only stay together for three days and live in an empty hall in the Mingyue Tomb."

"I once heard my aunt say that Senior Lu Wuming is the number one killer in the world," Xiao Lan said. "Since we all met, why not take you out?"

"What did Aunt Gui say?" Lu asked.

Xiao Lan shook his head: "She might have said it before, but I don't remember it. When I grew up later, I never asked again."

Lu Chau said quietly, "I haven't asked again."

Xiao Lan's chin touched his side and rubbed his face, "I have amnesia."

"Because I was poisoned," Lu Chai said, "Out of the Mingyue Tomb, there is a dead end."

Xiao Lan sighed inwardly, as she had guessed.

"So until my dad has done ten things for Aunt Gui, he won't be able to get the antidote and take me out of the Mingyue Tomb." Lu Chai said, "I cried and refused, so I insisted to go with you. I'm dizzy, and when I wake up again, I'm already back to Feiliu City in Jiangnan."

"So this is the parting in childhood?" Xiao Lan said, "I have always had a vague impression."

Lu Zhui said, "I'm thirsty."

Xiao Lan got out of bed and poured a glass of water for him, put it in a warm jade pot, and it was still warm all night, but the large pottery cup was a bit crude, unlike his always refined and meticulous style.

Lu Chai took the initiative to explain: "The teacup accidentally fell."

"Yeah." Xiao Lan watched him finish drinking the water, "Do you want more?"

Lu Chai hadn't spoken yet, but there was a "boom" outside, as if someone had knocked open the door.

"Who!" A Liu dropped his bun and rushed out, but it was Lin Wei, so he said, "You scared me to death. What happened?"

"Is the second master okay?" Lin Wei asked.

"It's okay, what can our father do? He has been in the room." Ah Liu puzzled, "Why is so panicked suddenly?"

The two people in the room frowned when they heard that, Xiao Lan took one side of the clothes and put them on for Lu Chai, and took them out of the bedroom.

"Second master." Lin Wei was relieved to see that the real person was indeed all right.

"That's not right." Ah Liu remembered another thing, "How could you find this yard?" Not to mention that he had never been here before, only the water moon phantom outside the yard, not everyone can break in. .

"It was Mrs. Tao's subordinate who came to me and gave me the route and the entrance map of the illusion. It is the old man with inconvenient legs and feet." Lin Wei said, "Under the mountain, I don't know why, since the middle of the night yesterday, the news has been spread, saying that Mingyue Tomb is In the Lu family’s ancestral tomb in the south of the Yangtze River, if there is no red lotus lantern, and other people want to enter the tomb, the Lu family will have no trouble. So if anyone gets the second master, they are equal to the Mingyue tomb and the red lotus lantern."

Xiao Lan asked: "Who passed it on?"

"I don't know, the brethren are still investigating. There is more news this morning, saying that the second boss has been captured. There is something like that. I am worried. Lao Li came to the door and said that Madam Tao would let me go up the mountain." Lin Wei said, "It's best to be fine."

"What's the purpose?" Lu asked.

"Now that the red lotus cup is nowhere to be found, everyone has no clue, but someone suddenly told them that if you got the red lotus cup, guess what?" Xiao Lan said, "I want to come to the foot of the mountain and it's already a mess."

"Indeed." Lin Wei nodded, "Everyone knows the story of the Erdang family in Wushuang City, and even the small courtyard in Yangliu Hutong has been turned upside down."

"What?!" Before everyone else said anything, Ah Liu was furious, and said, "Are those people eating the courage of the bear heart and leopard!"

"Driven by profit, and relying on the large number of people, there is nothing that can't be done." Lu Chai shook his head, "Even if there are eldest brother and Master Wen in this battle, it will not be easy to use."

"But Dad's favorite tea set is still in the small courtyard. I haven't used it once. It was originally intended for the New Year." Ah Liu is still very unfair.

"It's just a set of cups," Lu Chau smiled, "Let's think about it first, and what to do next. Although those under the mountain are mobs, but worry about it, here, a group of profit-seeking brazen men will be If a small group of people with ulterior motives incites, the sky can also be punched through a hole."

Ah Liu sighed deeply, a bunch of grandchildren, irritating.

In the afternoon, Xiao Lan left Qingcang Mountain and went straight to the deserted courtyard where Mingyue Tomb was located.

"Lan'er?" Aunt Gui was covered with a fur cloak, and she was taking a nap on the chair, "Why is this coming?"

"Those rumors in the city, but my aunt let go?" Xiao Lan asked.

"What rumors? Lu Mingyu's rumors?" Aunt Gui shook her head, "I just heard about it, and I'm about to ask Black Spider to investigate. You're here to question me."

"Lan'er didn't intend to offend Auntie," Xiao Lan lowered his head and said in a gentle tone, "I just want to ask the matter clearly."

"You." Aunt Gui shook her head and pulled him to her side. "Everything is good, just a little impulsive. In this way, how can Auntie feel relieved to hand over so many disciples from Mingyue Tomb in your hands."

The black spider opened the door and came in. He happened to hear such a sentence, so the grievance was hard to hide in his eyes, but it was fleeting.

"Go outside to check, who released the rumors about Lu Mingyu." Aunt Gui said, "I want to know the answer before tomorrow morning."

"Yes." The black spider left with orders.

"Lan'er, too." Aunt Gui sighed, "Seeing you are so caring, I don't want to come and accompany my aunt for a meal quietly, go early and return early."

Xiao Lan said: "Yes."

In the alley of Yangliu, the people in the rivers and lakes have dispersed, leaving only a mess, and even the old willow tree with a crooked neck was cut off, thinking about it because it blocked the way.

Xiao Lan crossed the courtyard wall and entered the courtyard, trying to go to the bedroom to take away Lu Zhui's clothes and daily utensils, so as not to be touched by irrelevant people, but when he pushed the door, he saw that the cabinets had been turned upside down long ago, and they were valuable. The goods were taken away, and the clothes were thrown on the ground casually, stomping dirty and messy. Tea leaves were scattered randomly on a tea tray, and a set of porcelain was smashed to pieces. It was the set of reluctant A Liu said that he wanted to leave a tea set for the New Year.

Xiao Lan's eyes were dark, and he turned and strode out of the courtyard.
