Chapter 38 The Road Ahead

Surviving death, the three of them all lay down on the ground, looking at the night and the starry sky above their heads, and listening to the cries of insects in the grass not far away, they couldn't help but feel a little joy.

This is joy for life, and it has nothing to do with other emotions.

Even the little carpenter who had just suffered the pain of losing his master could not help but feel relieved.

This vast world brings unprecedented comfort to people - especially as they have just crawled out of the narrow, stuffy, dark underground tunnel, and the contrast is even stronger.

After a while, the little carpenter asked, "Will the others be dead?"

Qu Menghu held a green grass in his mouth and chewed it. The bitter grass juice was turned over in his mouth, then he spit it out, and then said: "Maybe it, maybe it's not--after all, there is a saying that goes, "Good people don't live long, bad people live for a thousand years." Boss Luo, right?"

Luo Fugui stretched his body and said lazily: "That's true."

The little carpenter took a deep breath of the cold air that night. He recalled all the strange things that happened this day and the news of his master's death. He had a hundred emotions in his heart, and he didn't know how to talk about it.

But finally, he survived.

He thought a lot, but in the end he was empty-minded and thought that he could survive, which was the luckiest thing.

As for other things, he was no longer able to think about it.

The three of them lay down like this for a while. Suddenly, Qu Menghu, who had not been moving, suddenly got up and raised his head straight up. He kept muttering, his face was gloomy and sunny, looking very strange.

At this time, Luo Fugui also felt something was wrong.

He squinted his eyes and looked at the starry sky above his head.

The little carpenter was a little surprised. Seeing Qu Menghu like this, he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Qu Menghu pointed to the horizon, his voice trembling, and he said, "Look, look, this celestial phenomena move abnormally, purple qi gathers eastward, bull fights to the sky wolf, fight handles eastward, and red light of greedy wolf, this is a great evil - my heaven, what the hell is it that can make the celestial phenomena so terrible?"

Luo Fugui had one eye open and one eye closed, as if measuring something.

After Qu Menghu finished speaking, he stretched out his index finger and thumb on his right hand, measured it with the sky, and then said: "The evil sign of being born is within a hundred miles of our radius."

After saying this, he corrected again: "No, it may be closer."

After hearing the two of them say, the little carpenter suddenly felt a particularly bad feeling.

He took a deep breath and said, "It's not just..."

Qu Menghu also remembered it and asked him, "By the way, I was busy running for my life just now, but I forgot to ask, you said before that the stone statue of Luban in the Luban Temple actually came alive, then broke the mountain wall and left by himself? What's going on?"

The little carpenter said: "It is not a stone statue of Luban. It calls itself the Red Lotus Ancestor. I think this stone statue is very likely to be Xu Sansui, the sealed Red Lotus Ancestor."

After saying that, he told the two of them about Xu Sansui's origin.

Xu Sansui was the most mentioned senior Lu Ban sect he had heard from his master Lu Da in the past, so he was familiar with the relevant information and was as valuable as his own.

After hearing him say that, Luo Fugui nodded and said that this Red Lotus Ancestor, I have also heard from the old man in the family that he is a powerful person.

The little carpenter continued to talk about the situation after the stone statue came alive. After listening, Qu Menghu thought about it and said, "A guy who has lived for so long is indeed a monster. However, after listening to your story, that guy may not be a fierce person. For you, it may be a chance."

The little carpenter recalled what happened just now and felt like she was in a dream. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

Luo Fugui said: "The things in this world are inherently chaotic and disorderly. It is just a concept of children..."

Several people chatted and confirmed the abnormal movement of the astrology. After being related to the Red Lotus Patriarch Xu Sansei, they were not worried. After chatting for a few words, Qu Menghu asked the little carpenter: "It's over, what are your plans in the future?"

In the past, the little carpenter followed his master Lu Da to run around the docks and build houses for people. Now that Lu Da is dead, he has no place to go. What will happen in the future is really a problem.

The little carpenter thought about it, but did not answer, but asked back: "Where are you? Where are you going?"

If it were the past, he might have been in a daze, just find a place to work and make a living. However, this time his meeting with Qu Menghu, whether it was the outside world he told the little carpenter, or the experiences these days, had a huge impact on the little carpenter's thoughts.

These things made him feel that maybe his life could be changed.

However, facing the questioning of the little carpenter, Qu Menghu hesitated for a moment, but whispered: "I may have to go to southern Yunnan."

The little carpenter asked: "Do you need me to go with you?"

Qu Menghu shook his head and said, "No, I have some personal matters to deal with, it's not convenient to take you."

His rejection was a bit stiff, which made the little carpenter quite embarrassed.

However, the embarrassment was only a moment. With his understanding of Qu Menghu, he naturally knew that the reason why this guy was unwilling to take him was not disgusted, but another reason.

As for the reason, Qu Menghu didn't want to tell, and he didn't ask.

The little carpenter thought about it, took out the letter left to him by Lu Da, and said, "My master told me about a wife, who was the daughter of Gu Xicheng, Daxue Mountain. I thought about it, otherwise I would go and ask if they would like to marry my daughter."

When Qu Menghu heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "What do you think?"

When it comes to men and women, the little carpenter was a little shy, scratched his head and said, "I don't know."

Qu Menghu turned his head and asked Luo Fugui: "Boss Luo, what do you say?"

Luo Fugui is a man who is quite serious and serious at first glance, but in fact, it is actually quite interesting after being together for a long time. Hearing Qu Menghu's words, he smiled and said, "If I were the Thirteenth Brother, I'll ask for a secret question about the character of the Gu family and what kind of appearance is. If it's so talented, I'll clean up and come to the door and ask for this marriage. If it doesn't work, don't be suffocated by peeing. The wife's affairs will be a lifelong thing, and it must be pleasing to the eyes. Even my master can't help me make a decision, right?"

The little carpenter blushed a little, but said stubbornly: "But this is my master's last wish after all?"

Luo Fugui saw that he was serious and laughed, saying that I was just talking.

He is not a good teacher.

Qu Menghu asked him: "What if the Gu family girl disagrees, or the old guy Gu Xicheng doesn't like you, so what if?"

The little carpenter scratched his head and said, "Then I'll come back here, kowtow to my master, and tell him about this."

Qu Menghu covered his stomach and laughed so hard that the little carpenter was puzzled and asked why.

Qu Menghu pointed to Luo Fugui next to him and said, "Thirteen, we are Lao Geng, I'm not afraid that you will find it bad - if Boss Luo goes, it will be successful. Guess why? Because Boss Luo is a talented person and elegant person. Whether it is this spirit or a demeanor, they are all first-class. Which girl doesn't like it or which father-in-law doesn't like it? But now you are not saying that you can't do it, mainly because your face is too tender and lacks some experience. You don't look like a responsible man."

He smiled, but he still made his comments sincerely.

Although this was very tactful, the little carpenter could hear it. He thought about it, hesitated for a while, and then said, "What should I do?"

Qu Menghu said, "I heard you say before that I plan to stay in Yucheng for a while. I think it's good. First, I can't stay here anymore. Second, it's a place where waterways meet in the southwest, with a mixture of fish and dragons, and the scene is also big. You'll be there for a while, have a long experience and temper. When I go to southern Yunnan to complete the business, I will come to you and lead you to propose marriage."

He is still worried about his little brother.

After hearing this, the little carpenter felt warm and said, "Thank you, thank you."

Qu Menghu smiled and said of course, we have to do something before we leave.

The little carpenter asked, "What's the matter?"

Qu Menghu said: "Baolan's little girl has provoked our brothers, which is indeed hateful. However, behind her, she is supported by such a strong character in Longwu Village. We can't afford to provoke it, and it will be troublesome when we get involved, so we can only avoid it for the time being. But Wu Banxian is different. The guy is in conjunction with Zhang Qiming and framed your master and disciple. It can be said that your master's death cannot escape - Zhang Qiming is a crossing river dragon and looking for difficulties, but Wu Banxian is a land residence. Since we are leaving, we have to settle the accounts with him, and we can't afford that old thing."

When he mentioned this guy, the little carpenter was full of anger and nodded, saying right.

He had previously expected to find his master and ask his master to help him stand out, so he endured it. As a result, now that Lu is dead, he is about to leave again, so he naturally doesn't care much about it.

Even if Wu Banxian has something to do with the militia leader, so what?

The world is full of things, and the world is full of this.

As the two said, Luo Fugui raised his hand and said, "I'm counting it."

The little carpenter helped his fellow villagers break the way to win, so he naturally repaid his favor and had to help the little carpenter settle the matter.

When Qu Menghu heard this, he rubbed his hands with a smile and said, "With your boss Luo's help, this matter will be nine points..."

As soon as he finished speaking, his waist suddenly moved, but the lucky bag was rolling.

When the little carpenter saw it, he looked puzzled and said, "What is this?"

Qu Menghu smiled and said, "It's okay, you guys wait for me, I'll go there for some convenience."

Let’s talk, Qu Menghu got up and walked to the forest.
