Old Ma also became silent, looked at Lu Chen for a while, took the jar of wine and poured himself a full bowl.
"Come, have a sip." He gently raised the bowl in front of him. Lu Chen nodded, picked up the bowl in his hand and clinked it with him.
"I think, both of us are not good people." Old Ma smiled, then said, "Your hands are stained with a lot of blood, I have also killed people. But what can we do, you and I are both walking this path, can we still turn back? "
Lu Chen made a sound of "En" and did not speak.
Old Ma drank another mouthful of wine, then lightly said, "As for being cruel or not, it is actually meaningless. Could it be that after you stop being cruel, others will not kill you? Those Evil Sect remnants who have been wanting to grind your bones and scatter your ashes for the past ten years will let you go? "
Lu Chen smiled and said, "You are too good at comforting people."
Old Ma also laughed, then looked at Lu Chen meaningfully and said, "I feel that you seem a little strange."
"En? What do you mean? "
Old Ma said, "You never asked this question in the past. Killing is killing. You don't even blink. That's the original you. But I found that ever since you went up to Kunlun Mountain, there seems to be something strange about you. "
He leaned his fat body forward, lowered his voice, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, looked at Lu Chen with a smile that was not a smile and said, "Why, found your conscience? Want to be a good person? "
Lu Chen's eyes slightly narrowed, after a moment he suddenly laughed and scolded, "Damn good person, I, your father, specialize in killing good people." Saying that, he turned his hand and directly smashed the wine bowl towards Old Ma's head.
Old Ma laughed, retracted his head, then smiled and waved his hand, said, "Don't think of touching me, I am not a good person. We have done that kind of thing all our lives, don't let your imagination run wild, don't you think? "
Lu Chen laughed, then looked up at the sky. Above the square courtyard, there was a small square of blue sky, as if it was the whole world in his eyes.
So, he laughed even more happily, even to the point of coughing in the end, closing his eyes.
…
"By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you," Old Ma said carelessly.
Lu Chen nodded and said, "En, what is it?"
"I received some news that recently, someone in the city seems to be secretly searching for cinnabar.
Lu Chen's hand paused for a moment. He glanced at Old Ma and asked calmly, "Who is it?"
"I still don't know. It is said that the person who did this is also very careful. He often changes his appearance so that others can't recognize him. In addition, there are so many shops in Kunwu City and so many cultivators come and go, so it is very difficult to find him."
Lu Chen frowned and said, "Then how did you know?"
Old Ma smiled and said, "Recently, people in several big shops have been asked about these things. In addition to inquiring about the quantity of cinnabar sold, those people also asked about the identity and origin of the people who bought large quantities of cinnabar."
Lu Chen slightly raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "Would those shops casually tell others about this?"
"Of course not, ordinary people." Old Ma said, "However, when the shopkeepers of a few shops spread the news, they revealed that they should have seen the tokens of the Kunlun Party. You know, in Kunwu City, no one dares to not give face to the Kunlun Party. "
Lu Chen frowned and said, "The Kunlun Party?"
Old Ma said indifferently, "I think it's most likely because some evildoer of the Devil Cult went too far on the mountain some time ago and attracted the attention of famous sects."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Can they find you?"
Old Ma took a sip of wine from his bowl and said, "They can't."
Lu Chen looked at him and said, "How can you be so sure? Kunwu City is the territory of the Kunlun Party. Nothing can be hidden from them here. "
Old Ma sneered and said, "You're right, but I didn't buy cinnabar in Kunwu City. You can't catch me, can you?"
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment. A moment later, his eyes revealed a trace of understanding and he said, "You … could it be that you went out of town to buy it?"
Old Ma sighed and said, "People like me who do dirty work, besides cleaning up after you people all day, always have to think of ways to live longer."
Lu Chen couldn't help laughing. He reached out and patted Old Ma's shoulder and said, "Come on, I know you're the best in this business. Otherwise, I wouldn't feel at ease putting my life in your hands."
"Get lost!" Old Ma reprimanded him without any trace of politeness.
… …
"Can you find out who did this?" Lu Chen asked Old Ma.
Old Ma frowned and said, "Is it necessary? In any case, it's definitely someone from the Kunlun Party."
Lu Chen said, "In any case, I still want to know who's secretly dealing with us. Even if it's to make myself more confident, we might have a chance to meet again in the future on Mount Kunlun."
Old Ma narrowed his eyes and said with a faint smile, "What do you want to do when we meet?"
"Nothing. What else can I do?" Lu Chen spread his hands, looking harmless to both humans and animals.
Old Ma clicked his tongue and immediately nodded. "Fine, I'll go check, but it won't be that fast. We still have to be cautious about these things."
"I know, there's no hurry."
… …
After coming out of the Black Hill Pavilion and leaving the secluded alley, he walked two more streets before his eyes suddenly became lively. There were many shops on both sides of the long street and cultivators coming and going were like carps crossing the river. At a glance, it seemed like people from all over the world could be seen.
Lu Chen quietly walked on the lively street.
The people around him passed by one by one.
The noise, laughter, curses, and all the other lively sounds seemed to be automatically separated from him by a small distance. It was difficult to get close, and they were isolated from each other.
It was as if he was always standing outside of this hustle and bustle. Even if he was actually in it, he could not really integrate into it.
He walked slowly, and there was always a sense of loneliness that followed him like a shadow.
This feeling was not good. Most of the time, it would always make people depressed. Even people who had long been used to it would not like it.
Until, he suddenly saw a familiar figure in front of him.
For some reason, he suddenly wanted to chat with someone, so he smiled and caught up to her, calling out, "Yi Xin."
The woman in front of him was startled and looked back. After seeing that it was Lu Chen, she breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on her originally somewhat worried face. She said, "Brother Lu, it's you."
Lu Chen said with a smile, "How come you're here?"
Yi Xin said, "Something happened at home, so I came back for a while. I'm on my way back to the mountain now. Brother Lu, what about you? Seeing that you actually have time to come to Kunwu City today, could it be that you've already finished your business on Sister Su's side? "
Lu Chen said, "That's right. You actually don't know?"
Yi Xin sighed and said, "En, I haven't been in the mood to think about anything else lately, so I've been paying attention to my master." She then roughly told Lu Chen about the situation on Thirty Feet Peak.
Lu Chen nodded and said, "No wonder I haven't seen you these past few days. But if there's a strange sign with your master, he might come out of his Closed Door Meditation at any time. Why do you still dare to go down the mountain?"
Yi Xin's expression became a bit more unsightly, and with a bit of worry, she said with a bitter smile, "Since yesterday, there hasn't been any sound from the Immortal's Cave on Thirty Feet Peak. I-I'm also very worried about my master, but Martial Uncle Melaleuca Japonica said there won't be any news for the time being, so I have to slowly wait. She told me to take this opportunity to go down the mountain and take a look. "
For a moment, Lu Chen also didn't know what to say, so he could only comfort her. "Alright, you don't need to worry too much. Your Martial Uncle Yan's experience is a hundred times better than ours. Since she's not worried, presumably nothing serious has happened for the time being."
Yi Xin nodded lightly and said, "Brother Lu, do you still want to stroll around in this city? I'm still worried about my master, so I'll go back to the mountain first. "
Lu Chen said, "Let's go together. In any case, I don't have anything else to do."
"En," Yi Xin said, and her expression seemed to soften a bit.
The two of them turned around and walked away. Just as they were about to walk out of the bustling long street, they suddenly saw a group of people walking in front of them. The way they walked looked a bit arrogant and despotic, swaggering as if they didn't put the people around them in their eyes.
Lu Chen glanced ahead and frowned slightly. Just as he was about to pull Yi Xin to the side to make way, someone in front of them suddenly saw them. Someone immediately cried out in alarm, and then someone pointed at Lu Chen and cursed. Suddenly, seven or eight people came over, surrounding Lu Chen and Yi Xin in the middle.
Yi Xin was stunned, but then she immediately recognized the people in front of her. In a loud voice, she said, "Su Qian, Su Wen, what do you want?"
Those people were members of the Su family, led by Su Qian and Su Wen. As for Sumo, she didn't see her. Perhaps it was because she was beaten too hard by Su Qingjun that day that her injuries still hadn't healed.
Su Qian glanced at Yi Xin with a slightly surprised expression. He then coldly snorted and said, "So it's you, little girl from the Yi family."
In Kunwu City, the Su family was far more powerful than the Yi family. Usually, Su Qian, Su Wen, and Sumo didn't treat Yi Xin well. But no matter what, the two families were considered neighbors in the same city. Occasionally, the Su family would go to the Yi family to ask for tea, so they were always polite.
At this moment, Su Qian also waved his hand and shouted, "Pull her away!"
From the side, someone rushed over. One person stopped Yi Xin, while the other four or five people grabbed Lu Chen.
Lu Chen didn't fight back. From the beginning, he had a faint smile on his face. He indifferently looked at Su Qian and Su Wen. At this moment, he even smiled and said, "What? Young Masters Su, do you want to vent your anger on me?"
Su Qian walked over with a sneer on his face. He looked at Lu Chen with disdain and reached out his hand to slap Lu Chen's face. He sneered and said, "What? You're not convinced?"
Lu Chen slightly narrowed his eyes, and a dark shadow flashed in the depths of his eyes.
