Lotus Tower is the second best in the world

Chapter 19 My real name is Li Lianpeng

The moonlight is like a sky.

Candles were lit in the lotus building parked among the trees.

"You can stay here tonight and come with us to the city tomorrow."

"Thank you, Divine Doctor Li, for taking me in."

"Kongkong, you..."

After Li Lianhua finished speaking to the boy, he looked at Li Lianpeng who once again occupied his wooden bed, hesitated for a moment, and sighed softly:

"That's all, I'll just make a bunk here with Fang Shaoxia for the night."

His small building needs to be renovated and a wooden bed needs to be added.

This fake monk had no intention of being a guest in other people's homes, as if he regarded his small building as his own home.

Although Jianghu people are informal, how can they occupy someone's bed this time?
He has lived alone in this small building for nearly six years, and has long been accustomed to being alone. Only in his own three-quarter acre of land can he feel at ease and sleep soundly.

But since Monk Kong Kong came, he seemed to have become the owner of the Lotus Building, and he became an outsider. The only bed in the small building was occupied, and he had not had a good night's sleep for two consecutive days. .

How cruel would this be for a patient of his?

Li Lianhua glanced resentfully at Li Lianpeng, who was snoring. She took a bedding from the cabinet on the side and spread it on the wooden floor. She whispered to Fang Duobing to let him rest first.

Fang Duobing is not polite. This young man is even worse off than Li Lianhua. In the past few days, he has been either in other people's firewood sheds or on other people's roofs. During the day, he even traveled a whole day to get rid of the guards who followed him at home. , I was already exhausted by this time, so I lay down to sleep, and soon started snoring.

Seeing this, Li Lianhua carefully walked out of the wooden building and came outside.

At this time, the moon was high in the sky, and the autumn air was slightly cooler. Li Lianhua, who had been poisoned by the green tea, loved the heat and was afraid of the cold, built a bonfire in front of the small building to keep warm.

Sitting on the small bench and looking up at the cold moonlight in the sky, Li Lianhua couldn't help but miss her master.

He took off the wine gourd given to him by his master from his waist, uncorked it, raised his head and took a sip of the strong wine from the gourd to warm himself up.

After taking a sip of strong wine, the past came to mind.

When he was sixteen, he practiced swordplay on the water and achieved success. His master, who was lying on a tree drinking wine, saw this and had a small competition with him out of a test.

He stirred up the water with his sword and penetrated the wine gourd in the master's hand.

Master was surprised at first, and then laughed with joy.

I vaguely remember the original conversation between their master and apprentice, which was also the last verbal exchange between their master and apprentice.

"You brat, your martial arts have improved a lot recently!"

"How's it going? Master, do you think I've passed the test this time?"

"Come down the mountain with your senior brother!"

"Master, don't worry, I will definitely use this sword in my hand to become a great man who stands upright!"

"I don't want you to be a big shot. I just want you and your senior brother to eat and drink well and live a good life for your master!"

"When you come back, pay me the flask and bring me a jug of good wine!"

Li Lianhua raised the wine pot in front of his eyes with sad eyes. One year after he was seriously injured and fell into the sea, his master, who had always been free and unruly and in good health, passed away.

Looking at the full moon in the sky, it seemed as if Master was looking down at him and smiling.

Li Lianhua gently handed the wine bottle to the sky.

Master, look, I've repaired your wine gourd for you.

I just promised to drink with you, but unfortunately I don’t have the chance.

Li Lianhua's eyes filled with tears, and she raised her head again and took a sip of wine.

Old man, when I find my senior brother, we won't go anywhere, and I will be your apprentice obediently, not as naughty as I was when I was a child.When the time comes, I will bring my senior brothers back. One will be buried on your left and the other on your right, just like when I was a child, I would accompany you...

Scenes of his master's voice and smile, as well as his senior brother's kindness to him in the past, flashed in Li Lianhua's mind.

Those are the two relatives he cares about and cherishes the most. Now they have passed away, and there is no possibility of meeting them again in this life.

And all he can do is remember him in the dead of night.

"Miss your family?"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind Li Lianhua, which startled Li Lianhua.

Li Lianhua quickly buried her face on her shoulder, rubbed her head and looked back.

"Master Kongkong, why are you walking silently?"

There was a trace of complaint in his tone.

After a light sleep, the energetic Li Lianpeng came to sit next to Li Lianhua, followed his example and looked up at the flawless moon hanging on the sky, which was as flawless as a white jade plate, and said softly:
"People today don't see the moon in ancient times, but today's moon once illuminated an old friend...Li Lianhua, have you ever thought that you might have an old friend alive?"

When Li Lianhua heard this, she looked startled, frowned and asked:

"What does the mage mean by this?"

Li Lianpeng turned to look at him, with a serious look in her eyes.

"I won't hide it from you. In fact, I know who you are, and I know who you have been looking for. I also know that you are infected with the strangest poison in the world and will die soon."

Li Lianhua suddenly smiled, with a sense of relief on his face, and said, "Your Excellency, you finally stopped pretending?"

Li Lianpeng sighed: "The things that have happened in the past few days, especially tonight, have made me understand that the development of many things has been different from what I knew. If it is allowed to develop, it may still be unreasonable by then. It’s hard to explain, why don’t I tell you my identity now so that there will no longer be any suspicion between you and me.”

"My real name is Li Lianpeng. I have the same surname as you, and the same word."

"I did practice in the temple before...but when I came down from the mountain, I had already returned to secular life."

Li Lianhua couldn't help but look at the top of Li Lianpeng's head.

Li Lianpeng touched his prickly forehead and said with a wry smile:
"It's just that my hair grows very slowly. I don't know when I can comb it up like you people."

Li Lianpeng remembered that before going down the mountain, he shaved his head for the last time during the hottest days of the year, which should be July and August. There is no time in the mountains. His understanding of time came from the oral instructions of the old monk.

And he himself didn't have the habit of recording dates. He didn't know the exact date of his haircut, but a rough calculation suggested that it was at least three or four months ago.

But his hair has never grown, and I don't know if it's because he often bathed in Longyan Spring behind the mountain.

All in all, he looked just like those fake monks in the world who shaved their heads not too cleanly and used their identity as a monk to beg for food under the guise of making alms.

He was not a monk in the first place, he was just a layman who was forced to stay in the temple to practice. In fact, he was still a secular person who only wanted to return to the secular world and enjoy the worldly life.

When Li Lianhua heard this, her expression was complicated. She took advantage of the moonlight in the sky and carefully looked at Li Lianpeng in front of her. After a long time, she murmured:

"You said your name is Li Lianpeng?"

"Exactly." Li Lianpeng nodded solemnly.

This younger brother doesn’t think that he lied to him, does he?

Li Lianpeng knew that according to the plot in his memory, Li Lianhua at this time did not know that before he was adopted by his master and his wife, he actually had a brother named Li Xiangxian.

When they were young, their family was broken up and they became beggars wandering the rivers and lakes. It was Li Xiangxian who was dedicated to protecting him, not Shan Gudao.

Li Lianhua now and Li Xiangyi back then were still young and had no memory. He only knew the real beggar. Shan Gudao protected him when he grew up and was his respected senior brother.

　Li Lianpeng: No more pretending, I’m showing off my cards, I am...

　　The follow-up story will be more exciting~
