[Comprehensive] Looking to the End of the World

Chapter 18, The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng Eighteen

"Miss Liu, why are you dressed like this?" Lu Xiaofeng looked at Liu Mengli who was burning paper money in front of Yan Tieshan's spirit tablet in surprise.As the saying goes, women should be pretty and filial.Liu Mengli was originally an alluring figure, but now she is dressed in white and a white skirt, which makes her look like a Luoshen reborn, graceful like a frightened bird, and graceful like a dragon swimming.

It's just that, at first glance, this dress is full of filial piety.Lu Xiaofeng wondered: Liu Mengli and Yan Tieshan had an irreconcilable relationship, how could she wear mourning?

"Young Master Lu" Liu Mengli paid her respects to Lu Xiaofeng, and said, "Big Boss has handed over the Pearl Pavilion to me." Liu Mengli's face was slightly gloomy, although there was no obvious sadness, but her expression was solemn.She wore mourning for Yan Tieshan because of the token.However, she did not ask for this token, but it was entrusted to her by Yan Tieshan.Liu Mengli knew in her heart that Yan Tieshan came to her because she was worried that the remaining people in Zhuguangbaoqi Pavilion would be bullied after death.However, if she wants to find the red flame stone and sky stone for repairing the teleportation array, she cannot do without the help of the big forces.The world is so big, looking for these two things is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack, how difficult it is.Therefore, she is willing to wear mourning to Yan Tieshan for the next piece of hot potato.

"Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion?" Lu Xiaofeng said in surprise: "I never thought that the big boss would leave half of his life's hard work to you."

Liu Mengli didn't speak, but just nodded.

Huo Tianqing on the side turned a deaf ear to Lu Xiaofeng's words, but silently handed three sticks of incense to Lu Xiaofeng: "Lu Xiaofeng."

"Boss Huo..." Lu Xiaofeng took the incense in Huo Tianqing's hand with one hand, and seeing his mournful face, thinking of the rumors about Huo Tianqing and Yan Tieshan in the Jianghu, if he realized something, he patted him on the shoulder with one hand, and comforted him: " Sorry!"

"En." Huo Tianqing replied, "Put some incense on the big boss."

Liu Mengli turned slightly to the side, leaving some space for Lu Xiaofeng, quietly stood aside, watching Lu Xiaofeng seriously bow in front of Yan Tieshan's spirit tablet with a serious face, and then put the incense in the incense burner.

Green smoke curled up, and the smell of sandalwood slowly spread in the mourning hall, drifting outward one by one.

Lu Xiaofeng stood where he was, staring at the spirit tablet behind Qingyan.What is written on the tablet is not Yan Liben, but Yan Tieshan.Perhaps in the heart of the big boss, Yan Liben is really already dead!Lu Xiaofeng sighed in his heart and felt emotional for a moment.

Because of being close to Liu Mengli, Lu Xiaofeng did not leave after the worship, but stayed to help Liu Mengli handle the funeral.There were so many trivial matters, and the three of them were so busy that they didn't touch the ground. After three days of busy work, they finally finished dealing with Yan Tieshan's affairs, including repaying the old debts of the Jinpeng Dynasty.Fortunately, with the help of Lu Xiaofeng, Huo Tianqing and others, Liu Mengli finished Yan Tieshan's funeral in an orderly manner.

"Ah, death is like a lamp going out. The big boss is full of ups and downs and has a great reputation. But now, everything is over." Lu Xiaofeng's heart was softer than tofu.

It is common sense in the world that personnel and affairs are metabolized, and exchanges become ancient and modern.Liu Mengli's cultivation has improved recently, and she has a deeper understanding of the way of heaven. "There is nothing constant in this world." Liu Mengli said lightly: "Four seasons change, day and night change. Time is the most fair and cruel."

Lu Xiaofeng is optimistic by nature, just now he was feeling emotional for a moment, but he didn't really take it to heart, he said with a smile: "If you have wine today, don't let the golden cup be empty to the moon. People, enjoy yourself in time."

Hearing this, Huo Tianqing finally showed a slight smile on his face that had collapsed for a few days. He actually likes people like Lu Xiaofeng very much, and it is very happy to be friends with him for a certain period of time.It's just that... he thought of his position, and the corners of his mouth that had just raised were pursed again.

He glanced at Yan Tieshan's spirit tablet, stepped forward to offer him a stick of incense, then turned around and strode out.

Neither Liu Mengli nor Lu Xiaofeng stopped him, they both understood that Huo Tianqing was a proud person, destined not to be content to be inferior to others.

Huo Tianqing left, but Lu Xiaofeng was still there.

"Mr. Lu, I have something to ask you." Liu Mengli turned her head and said, "I wonder if you have any news about the murderer who attacked the two girls of the Emei Sect last time?"

Looking at Huo Tianqing's back, Lu Xiaofeng shook his head: "I haven't found out yet. It's just that, when Yan Tieshan was assassinated, wasn't Manager Huo present? Didn't he have any news about the murderer?"

Lu Xiaofeng found it incredible. With his eyesight, he could tell that Huo Tianqing's martial arts were similar to his. Even if he couldn't take down the murderer on the spot, he could still find some clues!

Liu Mengli understood what Lu Xiaofeng meant, but... "Huo Tianqing didn't say anything."

"This..." Lu Xiaofeng stretched out his hand to stroke his beard, and said, "Could it be that this murderer is a peerless master?" After speaking, he thought it was impossible, a peerless master has the demeanor of a peerless master, and would never use a sneak attack to assassinate such indecent means.

"I think the murderer has something to do with the Jinpeng Dynasty." Liu Mengli told Lu Xiaofeng what she had guessed in her heart. In fact, she thought the murderer might be Shangguan Feiyan herself.

"Oh? How do you say that?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.

"At that time, Shangguan Feiyan killed Yan Tieshan, not on impulse." Liu Mengli repeatedly recalled the scene in the water pavilion and the things she encountered later in her heart these days, and finally she remembered a detail, a trivial but crucial one. important details.Shangguan Feiyan looked in the direction of the table more than once.She didn't pay attention at the time, thinking she was looking at Lu Xiaofeng, because he was standing near the table.But now that I think about it, there is still a person sitting behind the table.

"Besides, she seems to know Huo Tianqing." Liu Mengli thought for a while, then asked Lu Xiaofeng: "Have you ever seen the way Huo Tianqing looks at Shangguan Feiyan?"

Liu Mengli's attention was on Shangguan Feiyan at that time, and she didn't see Huo Tianqing's expression at that time.

Lu Xiaofeng lowered his head and thought, when he was sitting next to Huo Tianqing, what expression did he have when he saw the assassin coming out of the water.It seems that... the eyes are...

Oops, he couldn't remember. "It would be great if Huamanlou was here." Lu Xiaofeng murmured.

"Hey, not good!" Lu Xiaofeng exclaimed suddenly.

"Master Lu, what's the matter?" Liu Mengli asked with concern.

At this time, Lu Xiaofeng's face was very ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "Miss Liu, I left a message to Huamanlou before I came, saying that I came to pay homage to the big boss. If he hears the message, he will definitely come back to pay homage to the big boss Yes. But Huamanlou hasn't shown up for the past three days, which proves that he hasn't returned to the inn." Lu Xiaofeng was a little worried. Although Huamanlou's martial arts are good, he is kind-hearted and has no defense against others. Trap, that would be bad.

"Master Hua may have been delayed by something, so he hasn't returned to the inn yet." Liu Mengli comforted, "Hua Manlou and I will split up and look for clues together. We made an appointment to meet at the inn. If it wasn't for him to do something else, it is impossible for him not to return. The inn and I will make up."

"Where did the playboy go to find clues?" Liu Mengli asked.

"Shangguan's family." Lu Xiaofeng frowned, he had just heard Liu Mengli say that Shangguan Feiyan and Huo Tianqing knew each other, and he found a clue in his mind.Now he wants to find Zhu Ting as soon as possible, and he can't go to Hua Manlou by himself.

"Miss Liu, I wonder if you could do me a favor?" Lu Xiaofeng had seen Liu Mengli make a move, and was very assured of her skill.

"Are you looking for the playboy?" Liu Mengli was ice-snow and clever, and she hit the point of Lu Xiaofeng's embarrassment in one word.

"Exactly!" Lu Xiaofeng nodded and said, "I have something urgent to do, so I can only leave Huamanlou to you."

"Mr. Lu, please rest assured. Mengli will definitely live up to her trust." Liu Mengli smiled warmly, looking forward to flying.

Hua Manlou, who had been forgotten by Lu Xiaofeng for three days, was in a bad situation at this time.In order to be able to kill the mastermind at the last moment, he pretended to be captured and was brought into this stone room.It doesn't matter if you have been hungry for three days and three nights, since you are a martial artist.However, not having a bath for three days is unbearable for a nobleman like Hua Manlou.

"Lu Xiaofeng, if you don't hurry up, when I go out, I will definitely not give away all the Baihua Niang, and I will never keep it for you again." Hua Manlou's voice was a little dry.If you don't drink water for three days, even a martial arts practitioner can't look like a normal person.

"Young man, you are so kind, you actually prepared wine for that bastard." A charming female voice came from the other side of the stone room, but the voice was weak and hoarse, which showed that the woman was not feeling well.

"Boss lady, are you okay?" That woman is the boss lady, Zhu Ting's wife.Candles were not lit in the stone room, and they were blindfolded, so Huamanlou couldn't see the proprietress.

Both Huamanlou and the proprietress had acupuncture points and were tied to chairs, unable to move at all.

"I can't die yet." The proprietress said viciously: "When I go out, I must make them look good."

Hua Manlou's ears moved slightly, and suddenly said: "Someone is here."

The proprietress quieted down instantly. Don't look at her scolding fiercely, but in fact she has no idea and is very scared.

"Ka Ka Ka..." Suddenly the sound of the mechanism running came from outside the stone room, and it seemed that someone was coming.

It was the sound of four unfamiliar footsteps. Hua Manlou didn't know who they were, but judging by their breathing and footsteps, their martial arts should not be weak.

The four of them did not speak, they untied the rope without saying a word, then supported the two of them and walked towards the stone room.Hua Manlou understood that he should soon be able to meet the mastermind behind the scenes.

Hua Manlou guessed that they should be going underground because he could smell the underground rock formations.Moreover, the light of the night pearl faintly penetrated the cloth strips covering his eyes. Except for the ground, he couldn't think of any place that needed lighting all year round.

The four of them dragged them around for a cup of tea before stopping.

"My subordinates will see the landlord." Putting Hua Manlou and Boss Nian on the chairs beside him, they respectfully stepped forward to pay homage.

"Get up! The voice is slightly magnetic, a little deep, but you can't tell the age.

"Remove the cloth strips on the faces of Mrs. Hua and Mrs. Zhu."

"Yes."

Huamanlou's eyes suddenly brightened, and the light returned.He recognized at a glance the old man in fine clothes who was sitting at the main seat, he was the richest man in the world - Huo Xiu!
