18. Invitation (Part 1)(1/2)
"When Qu Xie assassinated Zhao Hu, people in the martial arts world were speculating.
How did Qu Xie steal into the forbidden palace?
How did he escape his life in the pursuit of the Heavenly List master Yuanwu?”
"Actually, the answer is very simple."
Under the ground of Lin'an, in the underground secret passage about ten feet, Chen Lan walked in a strange wooden clogs and walked in the dim direction, just like high heels stepping on the ground, making a crisp impact sound.
Beside her, Xiuhe was stiff and following her step by step, holding an exquisite red oil-paper umbrella in her hand, just like when she served Chen Lan.
The witch's big red dress swayed around as she walked, like closed wings.
Chen Lan walked forward with half of the mask while walking:
"Qu Xie has no secret method to disappear out of thin air, nor can he completely conceal his aura as rumors in the world. He used the stupidest method to assassinate Zhao Hu.
Dig a tunnel.
At that time, I had not yet achieved my martial arts skills and could not come to Lin'an to plan major events together, but I knew where this secret tunnel was."
Chen Lan stretched out her hand with black gauze gloves and touched the authentic wall.
She said:
“After using it that year, most of the tunnels were destroyed.
But the part outside the city was not completely destroyed. I searched for it for a long time, and finally found it with the help of Elder Youhan."
"Lan'er is not as kind as a person."
Hua Qing was carrying a bag on her back. He looked at Chen Lan's back and looked at Liu Zhuoran with a hat beside him. He said:
"The relationship between Lan'er and I is not yet good enough to sacrifice our lives to help us, so is Lan'er here to save her lover?"
"I said that I was entrusted by someone."
Chen Lan's tone became colder.
She said without looking back:
"Hua Qing, you are superb in your skills, and I am not your opponent, but in this secret passage, there are now thirty-seven Five Elements Killers and six Ten Thousand Poison Demons, and they all listen to me.
Therefore, for your life, you should not mess with me.
Now as the leader of the Five Elements Sect, you always have some majesty and qualifying aspects.”
"Ah, I was wrong."
Hua Qing raised her hands and said:
"I will never talk about this again, but Lan'er, I don't remember that I have such powerful friends."
"It's Chen Qiu."
Chen Lan didn't pretend to be a ghost, and said directly:
"He is very generous now and gives me a condition that cannot be refused, so I have to travel all the way to Lin'an just to send a message."
"Chen Qiu?"
Hua Qing and Liu Zhuoran looked at each other.
He said:
"I was in Lin'an, and I heard that something happened to Chen Qiu. I don't know much about the specific situation. I heard that Chen Qiu has rebelled against the right path.
Now is the evil demon who can be killed by everyone in the world?"
"yes."
Chen Lan said:
"He claimed to be a man of the left and right path. He broke his hair and got rid of the shackles. He stopped playing the hero game and became a very dangerous person.
I don't want to deal with him.
Huaqing, do you know?
It’s the kind of thing you can’t figure out what he will do next, and it’s superb and has no rules and no bottom line. It’s always a lot of trouble.”
The witch said to the two behind him as if she was complaining:
"Ren Hao gave him Tianji Wuchang, hoping that he would be a hero.
As a result, in less than a month after Ren Hao's death, the guy destroyed more than 100 people, destroyed five sects, and destroyed seven branches of the Hidden Buildings. He burned 160 or 70 people to death.
What a demon sect person.”
Chen Lan curled her lips and said:
"He is much crazy than the one in the Demon Sect in my life."
"If you don't want to deal with it, just stay away from it."
Huaqing said:
"But I see you, I am still happy."
"Didn't I say that?"
Chen Lan sighed, stopped, and gently pushed it to the side. A secret door was pushed open, revealing a small square house.
She stepped into it, followed by Hua Qing and Liu Zhuoran.
On the edge of this small house, you can vaguely hear the sound of running water, which should be based on an underground river to allow the air to flow.
"Chen Qiu is quite generous now."
Chen Lan sat on a stone chair in the room, leaning against her, and said to the two people in front of her:
"I am doing a business of killing people with a happy employer. It is really hard for me to give up such a generous employer. Besides, if Chen Qiu becomes a business in the future, I might have to work for Chen Qiu.
Alas, I joked in Liaodong that I wanted to let him drive it, but I didn't expect that my words would come true.
But it's not a bad deal."
I looked around and found that it was difficult to dig this house, and no one had used it for many years, so naturally there was no furnishings, and there was only a chair in the room.
Chen Lan sat there, and he and Liu Zhuoran could only stand there.
"Tell me, what did Chen Qiu tell you to tell me?"
Hua Qing grabbed the folding fan and asked.
Liu Zhuoran held the sword and stood aside. He looked handsome, but in fact he was a very innocent person. Since he had a skin-loving relationship with Shen Lan, he always felt a little confused when he met Chen Lan.
There is a knot in my heart.
This is normal.
Men remember every "first time" in their lives and will never be forgotten.
Chen Lan was the first woman to leave traces on him. Behind Liu Zhuoran's left shoulder, there was still the tattoo of the black orchid.
I don’t know what Chen Lan used to tattoo it, so it couldn’t be washed off at all.
"He wants to do something in Taihang."
Chen Lan leaned on the stone chair, like a cat hanging there, and she said in a lazy tone:
"In particular, he didn't say much, he just said that he wanted to set up a trap in Taihang, and the bait had been released, but he could not guarantee how big the fish could be caught.
It seemed that there was insufficient staff in hand, so I invited you two to rush to Taihang for help.
He didn't say the reason, but he was full of confidence and said that as long as you two heard the invitation, they would never refuse.
It sounds like a secret game of a group of bad boys, but my daughter's family is not very interested."
Chen Lan spread her hands and shook it, she said:
"I have brought the message here, and you know the entrance to the secret passage.
I will leave Lin'an soon. If the two heroes travel around the world in the future, they will dislike anyone. If they can trust me, they will go to Suzhou to Xuanhong.
I am waiting for the two of you to come in Yanyu Tower.”
"Yanyu Tower?"
Liu Zhuoran recalled in his heart that the first time he met Chen Lan was at that place.
He said:
“Isn’t there ruined?”
"I have invited the Mo family skilled craftsman. When I go back to Suzhou, Yanyu Tower will be almost completed."
Chen Lan chuckled.
She supported her face and closed her eyes, as if she recalled her life in Suzhou, she said:
"I have been busy for many years, and my life has returned to the beginning.
Life is so impermanent, who can think of it?
To be continued...
