From boiling hot water to finishing washing.
Although they are still poorly dressed, at first glance they no longer look like a group of beggars; at least they have been upgraded to children from "poor families".
The night passed quickly and slowly.
This is indeed true for these beggars who don't get much rest. After all, they haven't had any time to rest since they started boiling water.
The same is true for Jin Renfeng and many other Taoists. After all, even after these beggars are cleaned up, there is still more or less some smell left.
These are not things that can be removed by simply taking a shower.
At least it can't be done by simply taking a shower.
But considering that the beggar Lu Yuan was accepted as a closed disciple by Dongfang Guyue, the old owner of Shenhuoshuo Manor, many Taoists had no choice but to hold their noses and recognize him.
After all, the Taoist who could choose to follow Dongfang Guyue to the Southern Kingdom still had relatively trust in Dongfang Guyue, the owner of Shenhuo Manor, and had a relatively good relationship with him.
but...
At this moment, Jin Renfeng couldn't wait to fly back to Shenhuo Manor immediately, and then prepare to arrange matters related to Lu Yuan, the little blind man.
But he also knows.
This matter cannot be rushed!
As soon as the master accepted a disciple, this little junior brother had a series of problems. Even if no one else had to tell him, the master would be suspicious of him.
Therefore, more direct targeting is definitely not possible.
But the purpose of boiling a frog in warm water is...
He needs plenty of time to arrange it!
This is also the reason why Jin Renfeng felt that the night passed so long.
Fortunately, the long time will eventually pass.
While thinking about it, Jin Renfeng's eyes fell on the bicycle frame that the Taoist found outside the temple gate...
...
Located on the southern border.
The path leading to the Shenhuo Mountain Villa.
An old donkey slowly pulled the carriage behind him on the muddy path. In front of the carriage, there were more than ten Taoist priests on horses chatting and laughing.
to be honest.
This is indeed a good choice that takes care of both parties.
Both these beggars and these Taoists praised the idea of ​​hiring a bicycle frame.
However, what the beggars praise is the atmosphere of the master's house.
What the Taoists praised was that...there was no need to carry these unpleasant-smelling beggars all the way back to Shenhuo Manor.
It sounds sad, but it's easy to understand when you think about it from another perspective.
The supernatural power is in the body and has nothing to do with ordinary people.
If a good prospect like Lu Yuan is offered, the Taoists will definitely not refuse. After all, in the Tao Alliance, it can be useful when there is love.
No one wants to have too many friends.
But if there is a group of beggars with mutilated hands and feet, Xianlu is almost a hopeless little beggar...
Most Taoists think it’s better to forget about it!
The horse was riding in front of the team in a hurry. Jin Renfeng frowned and endured the chatter of the Taoists behind him. He subconsciously turned around and forgot to take a look at the donkey cart following the team at the end. A trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
At the same time, he turned around and pinched the horse's belly hard, causing the horse to neigh.
What did Jin Renfeng see that made him so angry?
Actually it's nothing.
It was just a pleasant conversation between his two concubines and the little blind man named Lu Yuan sitting on a donkey cart.
But for Jin Renfeng, this matter was indeed worthy of his anger.
Fortunately, he didn't hear Dongfang Qinlan's words complaining about him; otherwise, Lu Yuan, who was sitting next to Dongfang Huaizhu sisters at this moment, highly doubted whether Jin Renfeng would explode with anger.
certainly.
Fortunately, Dongfang Guyue is not here.
Otherwise, Dongfang Qinlan, a carefree little girl, wouldn't dare to say anything.
Even so, she was stopped several times by her sister Dongfang Huaizhu.
"So..." Lu Yuan waved around the small wooden stick he picked up from nowhere in his hand, and there was no expression in his unfocused pupils, "You want to give me an example to tell me that Shenhuo Villa is a good place to go, but
Isn’t this senior brother of Shenhuo Manor a good person?”
Having said this, Lu Yuan chuckled and spread his hands, looking at Dongfang Qinlan's hesitant gaze and Dongfang Huaizhu's calm eyes, he slowly said:
"The only criterion for verifying truth is practice."
"Empty words and white teeth..."
"I believe it, okay?"
Hearing this, Dongfang Qinlan puffed up his little face angrily, stamped his little feet angrily, and then sat aside without saying a word.
Good intentions are treated like a donkey’s liver and lungs!
Do you really think that with talent you can defeat that scheming Jin Renfeng?
Dongfang Qinlan, who was still angry, was cursing Lu Yuan for not obeying his advice. He didn't notice that his sister had calmly sat beside Lu Yuan.
After straightening her long skirt, Dongfang Huaizhu turned her head silently and looked at the boy in front of her who was prettier than her. She didn't know what she thought of. She blinked her eyes twice quickly, then turned her head calmly, her eyes falling on
The chaotic scene on the side of the bicycle frame is just like the girl's chaotic heart at this moment.
"I think...you should understand."
"You think it's you, I think it's me. Speaking of which...my name is Lu Yuan, what's your name?"
Although he already knew it in his heart, it didn't stop Lu Yuan from asking.
After all, judging from the reality, there was no way for him to know the names of Dongfang Huaizhu and Dongfang Qinlan, especially since Dongfang Guyue didn't introduce them deliberately, and he was very busy last night...
Although his face was wiped clean at that time, his body was definitely not wiped clean; therefore, Lu Yuan inevitably made a "return" in the later stage.
Therefore, in general, he had very little contact with the sisters and had no way of knowing whether their names were logically reasonable!
Not knowing at all that he had been tricked by Lu Yuan, Dongfang Huaizhu straightened the hair on his temples, pondered for a moment, and then opened his lips and said:
"Oriental Huaizhu."
"The other person you came into contact with is my sister, her name is Dongfang Qinlan."
"What are the elegant names of a kind of bamboo and a kind of flower?"
"That's right..."
Dongfang Huaizhu hesitated for a moment and spoke with a bit of uncertainty. Then he seemed to have thought of something and asked with a bit of rare curiosity:
"Can I ask what the metaphorical meaning of your name is?"
Regarding the metaphorical meaning, Dongfang Huaizhu really didn't know much about it. He had never noticed the metaphorical meaning in his name in the past, and he had never deliberately asked his father about it.
To put it bluntly...
Dongfang Huaizhu even doubted whether the origin of his name was caused by the bamboo flute in his hand...
I really didn't have the time to worry about it in the past.
But once it becomes entangled, it becomes really entangled.
Fortunately, Dongfang Huaizhu understood the principle of using questions to cover up embarrassment at a young age; therefore, this rhetorical question not only contained curiosity, but also a trace of embarrassment.
But I never thought...
This sudden question actually stopped Lu Yuan.
Does his name have a metaphorical meaning?
He doesn't know.
After all, if it comes to it, he already has two alternate names...
One is the name attached to Douluo's body.
The other is the name attached to the current original body.
The reason why I still use the name "Lu Yuan"...
To put it bluntly, it’s just a habit!
But if you want to find a reason for the habit, it is not impossible.
"Of course there is no need to say my last name."
"Just say the word 'Yuan'..."
"Two meanings: one is the abyss, which means endless darkness; the other is the future, because there is destined to be light at the end of darkness."
"Of course, if you take into account the homophony, it can also be heard as 'Lin Yuan'."
"Facing the abyss, I hope you won't be afraid."
"As you approach the abyss, I hope you won't be afraid."
The wooden stick flying at his fingertips paused for a moment, and the less obvious afterimages slowly disappeared, and the dancing brushwork in his hand slowly stopped. Lu Yuan did not see the surprised eyes of Dongfang Huaizhu next to him, and explained lightly.
After finishing it, I silently praised my random fabrication in my heart.
Although his eloquence is indeed not very good.
But he still knows how to tell lies with his eyes open.
"It's really a very meaningful name..."
Twisting the neat hair at the temples, Dongfang Huaizhu couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in his eyes as he looked at Lu Yuan.
It is absolutely impossible for a civilian family to come up with a name with such meaning.
At the very least, it must be a scholarly family.
But for those scholarly families, joining the First Air Alliance is definitely not the best choice. After all, joining the First Air Alliance means slaying demons and being accompanied by life and death at all times.
This is after excluding the fact that most young Taoist priests were bullied by the old Taoist priests when they first joined the Yiqi Taoist Alliance...
Therefore, studying and becoming an official, or becoming a famous literati, is the best choice for most children who come from scholarly families.
Anyway, after practicing magical powers, apart from killing demons, you can't live forever...
Taoists and ordinary people are actually pretty much the same.
At most, you can live for another twenty or thirty years, but you will still have to face death in about a hundred years.
It's better to live a more stable life.
It’s also a good choice.
And this little junior brother in front of her...
Dongfang Huaizhu seemed to have guessed why Lu Yuan was so depressed, which also slightly alleviated Dongfang Huaizhu's relatively serious suspicion.
Do not misunderstand.
The comparison object of this "relative suspicion" is Jin Renfeng.
After all, according to Dongfang Huaizhu's early suspicion, Lu Yuan and Jin Renfeng were both ambitious people, but their methods were different.
certainly.
To allay doubt is to allay doubt.
Dongfang Huaizhu, who has long been accustomed to observing the waves in calmness, will not stop the doubt in his heart just because of an explanation or a name.
After all, in this world, there are currently only two people who she can absolutely trust.
It’s not that difficult to add another one!
After being silent for a long time, seeing that Lu Yuan had no intention of continuing to talk, Dongfang Huaizhu felt a little disappointed and also wanted to understand what the answer to her question just now was.
Avoiding an answer is itself an answer.
"I can rest assured that."
Dongfang Huaizhu stood up holding his skirt. After leaving this meaningless sentence, he quietly and calmly came to sit down next to Qin Lan, who was still sulking. He looked at his sister who had not figured out anything in a funny way, but what?
Didn't say anything.
There are some things that God knows and earth knows, you know and I know.
This does not prevent the partition wall from having ears.
Just to reduce some unnecessary trouble.
after all...
Without her acquiescence, how could Dongfang Qinlan dare to openly criticize Jin Renfeng, a man with ambitions and evil intentions?
Dongfang Huaizhu is very thoughtful!
Coincidentally, Lu Yuan's considerations were similar to Dongfang Huaizhu's concerns.
Build walls high, accumulate grain widely, and become king slowly.
In the last life, it was because he was too strong, too aggressive, and came out too early to suppress Tang San, which led to the subsequent situation becoming more and more passive, so that he had to fight hard with the gods.
Although he had been extracted from the quagmire, Lu Yuan, who was fashionable and had not suffered such a loss before, subconsciously chose the simplest and most brutal way to deal with it.
Actually, think about it after rebirth...
If he had lowered his head at the beginning, taking over the throne of God Shura seemed to be a good choice.
pity...
One cannot always look back to the past.
learn from mistakes.
From this perspective, he seems to have gained a lot of experience.
It’s just that it’s really hard for Xiao Wu and Nannizi...
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
Ning Rongrong finally met him for the last time, and Zhu Zhuyun was properly arranged by him. Qian Renxue didn't know what her attitude was, but she probably wouldn't like him. After all, Qian Renxue liked men who were stronger than her, and he
I have never had any confrontation with Qian Renxue on any level.
Only Xiao Wu...
This woman with whom he had a physical relationship was actually a couple...
Indeed, I didn't even see him for the last time.
therefore.
From the last experience, Lu Yuan came to a conclusion.
"If you don't want tragedy to happen again..."
"It's best to change those tragedies after you have solid strength!"
Don't try to change the tragedy, and then turn himself and the people around him into a new tragedy. That would be an invisible ridicule!
The donkey cart moved slowly.
It urges the conspiracy ahead and carries the thoughts of young people and the sorrow of young girls.
certainly.
Also indispensable are the longings and fantasies of many poorly dressed children about the future, and a carefree girl sulking silently aside.
It is a relatively long journey from Nanguo to Shenhuo Mountain Villa.
But from the southern border to the Shenhuo Mountain Villa...
But it’s not even long!
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
The accompanying Taoist gradually left, and was replaced by the Shenhuo Manor not far away, which gradually became clearer and made Dongfang Qinlan and Dongfang Huaizhu excited.
No matter where you are, "home" is a word that makes people feel familiar and friendly.
But the excitement of Dongfang Huaizhu and Dongfang Qinlan, and the excitement in the hearts of Jin Renfeng, who was riding the horse ahead, were completely different things.
One is simply happy.
One is the excitement that the plan is about to begin.
but...
Can Jin Renfeng's plan really be implemented successfully?
Lu Yuan touched the long hair of the girl next to him and sat quietly on the donkey cart.
"Do you have a name?"
He asked calmly.
The girl shook her head obediently and looked at her twisted legs with inferiority.
There must be a maiden name.
But obviously not a suitable name.
Especially for her, a beggar who was rescued from the abyss, a name was nothing more than a luxury.
As long as the Lord in front of her doesn't abandon her, she doesn't care about his name at all!
As if he could hear the girl's voice, Lu Yuan smiled, slowly put down his hand, and looked at the building in front of him that was made of earth and wood elements that seemed to be extremely huge.
The five elements are almost coming together.
Next, he will also start to practice spiritual practice and try to restore his eyesight.
During this period of time, he needs a helper to help him block the open and hidden arrows that may attack at any time in Shenhuo Manor, so that he can recover his eyesight as quickly as possible.
He didn't care whether the blocking was successful or not.
after all...
This in itself is an opportunity to exercise these backbones that are unique to him!
therefore...
"Women account for Yin, men account for Yang."
"Although the body is incomplete, it may not be unable to be completed."
"Based on the heavenly stems and earthly branches, we can talk about the character 'Mao'."
"Destiny arises and fate falls, and you will eventually find your destiny."
"Calculate using homophonic words..."
"How about just calling her 'Yuan Mao'?"
The name wasn't very nice, but it was indeed a name Lu Yuan chose with care. Unfortunately, he didn't know what the girl thought of the name, so he used a question at the end of the sentence.
But...
How could a girl dislike this name?
after all...
This is the first time in her life that she has received a formal name!
Especially since this name was given to her by the person who gave her hope!
The girl nodded happily, with unstoppable surprise in her words.
Chapter completed!
