Soul bound

into the night.

There is only one wall between Lu Jiuyuan's guest room and Lu Chilin's, and the sound in the other room can be faintly heard in the silence.

Sitting on the couch, Lu Jiuyuan heard the rustling of the clothes, and felt that Lu Chilin was changing clothes.

There was a sound of footsteps outside, and the wooden floor creaked.Someone knocked on Lu Chilin's door.Lv Jiuyuan regained his composure and carefully discerned the voices outside the house. He heard Lu Chilin's soft reply, and someone entered his room.

Lu Jiuyuan felt like a Liang Shangjun, but he didn't feel guilty at all.

The man seemed to have come to deliver hot water, and he left Lu Chilin's room quickly.

The fleeting sound of entering the water exploded in Lu Jiuyuan's ears.Lu Chilin seemed to be extremely quiet when he was taking a bath, except for the sound of water at the beginning, there was no sound.

But Lu Jiuyuan could almost imagine what kind of state the other party was in.He leaned lazily against the side of the wooden barrel, the dense water vapor covered his exposed skin, and the water droplets ran across his clear-cut face with delicate features, and sank into the collarbone along his porcelain-like neck.

Lu Jiuyuan swallowed involuntarily, but he couldn't suppress the restlessness that arose in his heart.He didn't know when he moved to the wall, and leaned against the wall resignedly, as if he was closer to Lu Chilin, as if he could feel all the movements of Lu Chilin in the other room.He felt that he was no longer an apprentice, and while he spurned his wanton thinking about Lu Chilin, he relied on that fantasy to solve his first desire after waking up.

The tip of the moon.

After solving the needs, Lu Jiuyuan asked the servant for a bucket of hot water, changed his clothes after taking a bath, and then went out at a leisurely pace.

The backyard of the Donglin Inn is elegantly arranged. At first glance, I thought it was the courtyard of a big family in the south of the Yangtze River. There is a long corridor, several tables and chairs, and there are several camphor trees in the corner. There is also a martial arts platform behind the corridor.

Under the moonlight, the bluestone bricks glowed leisurely.Lv Jiuyuan went to the depths of the corridor and sat down, and took out a small flagon from a hidden pocket.

The location he chose was a bit dark, the moonlight could not fall, and it was not easy to be found.

He opened the jug, and the aroma of the wine did not overflow, but Lu Jiuyuan knew that Lu Cheng had a way to find him.

child time.

The evening wind blows the treetops, the shadows of the trees are mottled, and there is a "rustling" sound from the friction of the branches and leaves.

Lu Cheng's body flickered and landed outside the corridor.There was a butterfly on his fingertips, flapping its wings, flying towards where Lu Jiuyuan was.

Already drinking half of the wine, Lu Jiuyuan heard footsteps from far to near.He didn't make a sound, just raised his head and continued to take a sip of the clear liquid in the pot.

"Your Excellency is very interested in drinking late at night."

Lu Jiuyuan raised his eyelids to look at him: "It's good wine to drink, and good scenery to enjoy, so naturally I'm interested."

The visitor asked, "What kind of wine are you drinking?"

"Tasteless wine."

After all, the man took the jug and drank it down.

Colorless and odorless, it is clear water.

Lu Cheng immediately knelt down on one knee: "Castle Master."

"Okay, let's sit." Lu Jiuyuan patted the seat next to him, and Lu Cheng stood up and sat down next to him.

"I couldn't express my surprise when I received the letter from the castle master that day." Lu Cheng said.

Lv Jiuyuan sighed: "I never thought I could still be alive."

"Regarding the entrustment of the castle owner, I searched all over the castle, but did not find the castle owner's body."

Lu Jiuyuan glanced at him, and murmured to himself: "Chi Lin said he wasn't in Linxuetang, and you said he wasn't in Wanyuanbao. Could it be that he was really crushed by Lou Yunshen's thing?"

Apart from Lu Chilin's undercover status, Lu Cheng knew nothing about the entanglement between the two of them, and was thinking about whether to remind his master not to listen to each other's words easily.

Lv Jiuyuan said again: "Then I asked you to pay attention, is there anyone with abnormal behavior in the castle?"

Law Cheng: "No."

Lu Jiuyuan pondered for a while, then asked, "Where's Yuan Mo?"

"Yuan Mo's whereabouts are uncertain. The castle owner knows my current identity, so it is not easy to approach him."

"Besides you, who else is here in the castle?"

Lu Chengdao: "The castle master may not recognize them, they are all disciples below."

Lu Jiuyuan nodded, stared at Lu Cheng for a while, and then suddenly said: "Forget it, you have worked hard for so many years."

Lu Cheng turned and knelt down again: "The castle master gave me my life and my cultivation, these are what I should do."

Lu Jiuyuan helped him up helplessly, and was very puzzled by the behavior of this confidant who knelt at every turn.

Lu Cheng suddenly thought of something, took out a porcelain bottle and a kit from his sleeve, and handed them to Lu Jiuyuan.

"I think the Castle Master will want to use him." Lu Cheng laughed.

Lu Jiuyuan took it, weighed the kit, and understood what was inside.Wanyuanbao once raised a kind of butterfly, which used a special kind of pollen and that kind of white butterfly to track down people in hiding.Even if Lu Cheng is not prepared, Lu Jiuyuan will ask him for it.

"You have a heart."

"It's a pity that Shen Bi is in Yuan Mo's hands, I can't hand it over to you."

Shen Bi has accompanied Lu Jiuyuan for many years, and is his most desirable weapon as well as his most precious partner.Although today's long sword is still a good weapon, how can it be used as comfortably as an old friend from the past?He sighed and said, "It's nothing, I'll get it myself then."

Lu Jiuyuan put the two things in his arms, and continued to ask: "I think Chi Lin's memory is impaired, do you know what happened after my death that year?"

Lv Jiuyuan had thought about this question a long time ago, but the person concerned had forgotten what happened at that time, and he couldn't ask Lou Yunshen, so he had to ask Lv Cheng who arrived sooner.

The latter lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said, "When I arrived, Lou Yunshen hadn't arrived yet. But your... body has disappeared, and there is only one Mr. Lu for a few miles around."

He wanted to say the corpse, but he swallowed it when he reached his mouth.

Lu Jiuyuan frowned upon hearing this.

Why did his body disappear first?

Did someone take it away before Lu Cheng and Lou Yunshen?Then what is his purpose?Couldn't it be that he admired him, Lord Lu, and wanted to take his body to him to build a rich and gorgeous grave after his death?

"Not long after, Lou Yunshen also arrived. His expression was not quite right, and he formed a formation after turning around. The formation was very strange, and I had never seen it before. Then he took Mr. Lu away " Lu Cheng paused, as if he was trying to dig out the memories of the past, "Later, about a year later, Mr. Lu came out to deal with things alone."

Lu Cheng intuitively felt that his master's feelings for Lu Chilin were not as simple as he thought, so he changed all the titles about him to "adult".

Lu Jiuyuan only thought that Lou Yunshen set up the formation to save Lu Chilin's life, and didn't go into it.

"As for the matter of memory, I have been hiding in the castle after the death of the castle owner, and I don't know it very well." Lu Cheng scratched his head, with a hint of guilt in his tone.

Lu Jiuyuan patted him on the shoulder, signaling him not to mind.

"It's getting late, let's go back first. You can help me keep an eye on the castle." Lu Jiuyuan got up and straightened his clothes, ready to leave.

"When will the castle master go back?"

Lu Jiuyuan frowned, and Lu Chilin's image suddenly appeared in his mind. He said softly, "Let's wait until I finish solving the matter here."

Lu Chengxin said that he was just a wandering island, so there was nothing wrong with it.

"Then this test?"

Lv Jiuyuan: "You can play if you want to play, you don't have to follow me."

Lu Cheng: "What if something happens!"

Lu Jiuyuan glanced at him, gave him a look of "you don't know how to act according to my face", and said bitterly: "With your Lord Lu protecting me, what will happen to me."

The words are exactly the same as those that fooled Meng Ting back then.

Lu Cheng curled his lips where Lu Jiuyuan couldn't see, and opened his mouth to answer.

"Come back, don't disturb others."

After the words fell, he mentioned Qinggong and flashed into the inn.

Lv Jiuyuan calmly walked to the door to avoid waking up the monks in other rooms—mainly because he was afraid of waking up Lu Chilin.Just as he was about to open the door, he heard a door opening.

"Where did you go?"

Looks like a wife caught in rape.

Thinking about it, Lu Jiuyuan suppressed the smile he wanted to show.

"It's so late, and Chi Lin is still awake?" He asked back.

Lu Chilin glanced at him, and Lu Jiuyuan felt that the corners of his eyes were a little red and moist, and he didn't know if he just got up from the quilt or something.But it's so pretty, it makes him want to touch it.

The restlessness in his heart began to agitate again, Lu Jiuyuan forcibly tore his gaze away from Lu Chilin's face, and looked elsewhere.Turning his gaze around, he landed on the door frame, only to suddenly see his bare feet stepping on the threshold again.

"..."

Lu Jiuyuan stepped forward, leaned over, put his arms around Lu Chilin's waist and carried him on his shoulders, the movements were done in one go, without any sloppiness.The touch under his hands was warm and soft, and Lu Chilin shouted out of frustration but suppressed his voice: "What are you doing, let me down!"

Lu Jiuyuan ignored him, but Lu Chilin's appearance really ignited another fire in his heart.He put the person on the bed and fell down with himself.

With his hands resting on Lu Chilin's ears, his scorching breath hit Lu Chilin's face unreservedly.

The latter bumped into his deep phoenix eyes, moved his mouth, and said, "What are you doing?"

Lu Jiuyuan said in a hoarse voice: "I told you, I have unreasonable thoughts about Lu Futang... Lu Futang, stop teasing me."

After all, he withdrew his hand, stood up and opened the distance, almost fleeing in despair.

Lu Chilin lay on the bed, staring straight at the curtain on the top, as if remembering something from the past.
