Chapter 121 Lou He
Chapter 121 Lou He
When he counted to twenty, Wu Hao couldn't help but look into the forest - Li Wuxiang had just walked in, and he heard the footsteps, so he should have stopped after walking five or six steps. But when he looked at him this time, he couldn't see him anymore.
When he counted to thirty, he immediately walked into the forest and found that Li Wuxiang had indeed disappeared, and there was indeed a fur coat lying on the ground.
But it was a little thin despite being called a leather coat. Wu Hao picked it up and felt that it looked more like a well-tanned leather coat—with thick, long white fur on the surface. He touched it with his hand and felt that it was very smooth and soft, and...
Wait? He looked at the whiskers on the fur carefully again and found that they were exactly the same as the one Li Wuxiang had given him before... Did he kill the beast with the whiskers? And made it into a fur coat?
What a waste of natural resources! Why not take good care of them and pick them up regularly?
Wu Hao was so angry that he took a deep breath, looked around to see that there was no one around, then reached out his hands and scratched several places on the jacket, then pulled out a handful of whiskers and hid them in his arms, then walked out holding the thing.
Ordinary people naturally couldn't just walk to the door to deliver something to Lou He. But he walked straight to the door and into the courtyard. The two soldiers at the door only glanced at him and then turned their heads back.
The yard is not big. After entering the door, you only need to walk eight or nine steps to reach the door of the house.
The guest house is built in the style of a cool room from the Ye Dynasty. In fact, all four walls are doors, which can be opened in the hot summer to become a large cool room.
At this time, the two doors on the left side of the house were open. Wu Hao walked to the door holding the fur coat and put it on the doorstep: "Xing Xing, I brought you a piece of clothing. Is there anything else you need in your daily life?"
A round face poked out from the door. It had fair skin, curved eyebrows, narrow eyes, and five thin wisps of beard, and looked extremely kind.
Lou He first glanced at the fur coat at the door, then looked at Wu Hao: "Why do you look so bad?"
Wu Hao sighed: "I'm not going to look good after meeting a few savages."
Lou He nodded: "It seems that he is not an ordinary savage. Who sent this thing?"
"I got it from the wildlings. I thought this is a cool room. You're out there without any cultivation, so it might be cold at night. You can take a look to see if it's useful. If you don't like it, call me and I'll take it out and throw it away - I'll be waiting outside."
Lou He smiled with narrowed eyes and stroked his beard: "One day I actually get to enjoy the happiness of family life. Okay, I'll try to see if it fits and then go out and tell those useless people outside to stop bothering me."
Wu Hao bowed to him: "Yes."
After he walked out of the courtyard, Lou He stared at the fur coat for a while before reaching out to take it, gently stroked the fur on it, and walked back into the house.
The room had only one room. A quilt was spread in the middle, with an antique shelf on the east and a bookshelf on the west, all hung with clothes. The books were spread out on the floor, scattered here and there, with papers and pens scattered in between.
Lou He put the fur coat on the bedside, and the smile on his face immediately faded. He listened attentively for a while before reaching out to unfold the coat.
At this moment, Li Wuxiang's voice suddenly came from inside the fur coat: "Senior Brother Lou."
Lou He shuddered with fear: "What the hell is that!?"
"It's not a ghost. I'm Li Wuxiang. According to the Thirty-Six Sects, Senior Brother Lou, you should be my great master. I'm using this coat to talk to you."
Lou He was stunned for a moment, then he exhaled, "Oh...you are Li Wuxiang. Grandmaster, haha, good, I am enjoying the joy of family life again today."
After saying this, he sighed again: "Who else is coming?"
"Pan Muyun and Helian Ji."
"Alas, why bother? I am already a useless person, why do so many people come for me?" He was silent for a moment, "Go back and tell them that Wu Meng put me here to attract the swordsman to save me, tell them to leave quickly. Can you see me now?"
"can."
"Then you see, I am living a pretty good life now. My cultivation has been wasted, where is a better place to retire than here? Tell them to get out of here and stop delaying my enjoying my old age."
After a while, he heard Li Wuxiang say, "Wu Meng must be the Wushan master here. Senior Brother Lou, is the Wu Hao just now your grandson?"
"Hey, did you hear me? Get out of here now."
"I did hear that, but I'll just pretend I didn't. There's one more thing - Wu Hao recognized us on the boat at the ferry. He said he was your grandson and the spy you've been training in Coffin City for a long time. We can't figure out if what he said is true, so I'll ask first. Senior Brother Zeng and the others will wait somewhere else."
Lou He blinked, then suddenly frowned: “Just listen to his fart!”
"So he isn't?"
"It's true that he's my grandson, but when did I ask him to be a spy? Am I a fool?" Lou He stood up and walked out of the house, as if he wanted to drag Wu Hao in, but he stopped after taking two steps and sat down angrily, "That kid only saw me again after I was captured. He must have gone crazy after hearing what I said about swordsmanship! Is it so easy to be a swordsman? He also wants to be a swordsman? Crazy!"
These words reminded Li Wuxiang of Cheng Peixin. He thought for a moment before speaking again, "Brother Lou, can you trust Wu Hao? He said you had met him six times before."
Lou He sighed for a while: "I have seen him before, oh, this little guy, really, oh, this is the case -"
"I did meet him six times, but it was only because... he heard that I actually had descendants in Guancheng, so he couldn't help himself. As a result, when he met this little thing, he actually got along very well, so he couldn't help but meet him again and again. You want to say whether he is trustworthy... Over the years, he knew that I was a swordsman, but I was safe and sound."
"Then this time——"
"Don't worry about him. It's my business. Have I ever told you about my business?"
"Hmm." "Asshole, can you say anything? Forget it, I was just itching to go see Wu Meng again and see if I could find a chance to deal with him. But I didn't expect that he is so powerful now, and I got fooled."
"Brother Lou, since Wu Hao was born and raised in Coffin City, why would he want to be a swordsman? You and Brother Zeng both have your own reasons, but he seems to be different."
Lou He shook his head. "Alas, it was when he was little. I always talked about outside things and made him wild. Besides, people are different. Some people don't like to be bound by nature. They think that as long as they live freely, it doesn't matter if they suffer a little. Some people like stability by nature. As long as they have food and drink, it doesn't matter if they are not very comfortable. Wu Hao is the former type. He is as mean as the rest of us. It's nothing special."
Li Wuxiang was now folded upside down, with his face folded into a hood folded in the middle of his fur coat. However, with his fur coat, he didn't really use his "eyes" to see people, but his tentacles.
Just like humans, it took more than three million years from the appearance of the first proper human creature for humans to figure out what their own bodies were, and this understanding was only a rough one.
He was in a similar situation now. He knew that if he wanted to see something, he had to stick his tentacles out of the eye-like holes and form an eyeball-like structure. He didn't know the principle, but his instinct would guide him.
So when Lou He said these words and raised his face slightly with emotion, his tentacles slowly emerged from his eye sockets, curled up into two eyeballs under his thick white beard, and looked at his master carefully.
This was his first time meeting Lou He, but after just a few words, Li Wuxiang had a good impression of him - he had a very similar temperament to Zeng Jianqiu, but seemed more easy-going. In this way, his lineage was considered outliers in the Sword Sect.
So, he asked the next question after a while.
"Brother Lou, please don't be offended. I have something else to ask. I met a man named Xu Daosheng on Ran Mountain. He said that he learned from you that there is a treasure in the Ran Mountain illusion that may lead to the Nether Nine Abyss. This matter..."
Lou He was stunned: "You met him?"
"Yes. I was also on my way to Ranshan and killed him."
Lou He frowned, but suddenly relaxed his brows the next moment and laughed twice: "I remember that I heard that you had Ranshan's sect master's seal on you. So you went to inherit Ranshan and met Xu Daosheng who went to the fantasy world to look for treasures? Haha, then you are really unlucky."
"I don't mind, but don't be angry, kid. Haha. This is what happened. Since I'm in Wu Meng's hands, I have to explain something, right? We have known each other about the Sword Sect for two or three thousand years, except for the current Nether Nine Abyss. I was thinking, why don't I make up a lie?"
"It just so happens that I know that there is no one in Ranshan, so let them go to Ranshan to look for it. As for the Ranshan illusion, which sect doesn't have one or two illusions? There must be treasures in them, but the leader of Ranshan has packed up his belongings and left, so the treasures in the illusion were naturally taken away with him. Let them look for it, but they won't find anything. That's it - haha, he met you? I don't know who is more unlucky between the two of you, I think he is more unlucky. It would be best if he died, I don't like that person either."
This answer made Li Wuxiang feel a little relieved, so he said in a more serious tone: "Okay, Brother Lou, I understand. Now, let's talk about you. You know Brother Zeng, he will definitely not leave. When he was in Jinshui, his youth and life span were exhausted. I guess he only wants one thing now, which is to get you out."
"Even if you don't give the order, we will help him do it. If you don't want to see him being detained by the True Form Sect, please help us think of a solution."
Lou He sighed, "Think of a solution? What solution is there? If I ask you guys to rescue a Jindan swordsman now, do you have a solution? Wu Meng has already cultivated his spirit, and he is still in the Zhenxing Sect's district. I don't know if you saw outside just now, they are all Zhenxing Sect practitioners. Wu Meng is still waiting for you to come, what solution can I have?"
"Go back and tell Zeng that not everything in this world can be solved by a certain method. If he wants to spend the rest of his life in this coffin city like me, answering stupid questions from those stupid people outside the yard every day, then come. Otherwise, get out as soon as possible!"
"Brother Lou, what extraordinary magical powers do the True Form Sect monks have?"
Lou He was stunned for a while, then slowly raised his brows and blew up his beard: "You are a stubborn guy, aren't you?!"
"Ah, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't be able to be a swordsman."
Lou He stared at the fur coat on the table for a long time before he suddenly lost his temper. "Okay, let me tell you. The True Form Sect monks who are practicing the spirits are in the diocese and can directly call on the True Spirits of the Five Mountains. Every spell is possessed by a True Spirit."
"As soon as you enter the coffin city and use your magical powers, Wu Meng will immediately know that someone is calling on the spiritual energy of the parish. Just ask a local god to come out and he will immediately know where you are. Even if you can defeat the soldiers and monks who are besieging you, as long as Wu Meng takes action, you will be unable to move with your current level of Taoism. Do you believe it?"
Li Wuxiang believed it. When Ranshan was fighting with Xu Daosheng, who was at the Qi Refining stage, he had already felt the terrible pressure brought by his magic with the tablet. If he asked Wu Shan, who was at the Spirit Refining stage, to use it, he might be crushed into a piece of skin.
"I believe it. But what else? Is this the only trick he has?"
Lou He made him laugh in anger: "Isn't this enough to deal with you? What else? What else is his unique method and powerful magic weapon? Zeng should be able to survive well, but none of you can survive!"
"But if I come in quietly like I am now, without using any magic, there won't be any problem, right?"
Lou He waved his hand and said, "Stop it. Do you think the people of the True Form Sect can't think of a way to replace the original with the original? The fact that Wu Hao can bring you into this courtyard doesn't mean that the defenses in the Coffin City are useless, but that there is no need for it. If you are thinking of a way to replace the original with the original - every quarter of an hour, the two soldiers at the door will come to check. Once I disappear, even if it takes another quarter of an hour to let Wu Meng know the news, we will not be able to leave the Coffin City. In the hands of a spiritual cultivator, the entire Coffin City is a prison."
"Okay, I understand." Li Wuxiang said solemnly, "Brother Lou, you should be ready tonight, and we will take you away."
Lou He leaned forward, then paused, lowering his voice: "Bullshit! Do you think everything I say is bullshit?!"
But Li Wuxiang remained silent. Lou He cursed him angrily and angrily, but when he saw that he had no way to deal with him, he asked, "What time tonight?"
"Yin hour."
Lou He snorted, grabbed the fur coat and threw it to the door: "What a rotten thing eaten by insects and rats, throw it out!"
Hearing the noise, Wu Hao, who was at the gate of the courtyard, immediately came in and picked him up. He complained in a low voice in front of the two soldiers, then walked back into the woods with his fur coat in his hand.
He put down his fur coat and retreated to the side of the road. A quarter of an hour later, Li Wuxiang came out again and smiled at him: "Brother Wu, I wronged you. Send me back, and we will get him out tonight."
Thanks to the new leader Poincare for his reward. He is an old comrade. Thanks to a certain uncle who is approaching 1, Diao2pa0dian20190111232256861, Dongsen Xiuhu, and book friend for their rewards!
