Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 375 Lu Zhan and I are innocent, at most we kissed each other

The plum trees are covered with mist and snow. The flowers cannot be seen from afar, but their fragrance is wafting in the air.

The twelfth lunar month was almost over, and today was New Year's Eve. The Demon Suppression Division was particularly quiet, and Lu Zhan had been staying at home these days, brewing tea around the stove and looking for plum blossoms in the snow. He was too lazy to use his true Qi, and occasionally held Xiaobai as a hand warmer.

Xiaobai's cultivation was not very high and she still retained the habits of a fox. Soon after the twelfth lunar month, she would occasionally change back to her original form.

Hugging a big, furry, snow-white fox is warm and more comfortable than sitting by a fire.

"hold head high--"

The sound of a crane's cry came from the sky, loud and clear, and I saw a monthly newspaper in the crane's red beak.

This is the crane raised by Jianghu Pavilion. Ever since Feng Nangong drank here last time, he specially gave a crane to it. Every time the Jianghu Monthly Report is published, the crane will bring the latest news.

Lu Zhan reached his hand out from under the fox's belly, took the Jianghu Monthly and took a look.

As the New Year is approaching, the layout of the Jianghu Monthly is becoming more and more festive. It records the major events that have occurred in the world of immortal cultivation this month, two of which are related to Lu Zhan.

One is about the demise of the Black Water Sect. The Black Water Sect has been entrenched in the world of immortal cultivation for many years and is well known to ordinary cultivators. It is a well-known low-level cancer.

You can't just lie with your eyes open, right?

This is also what Lu Zhan meant. "Notes on Subduing Demons" is not omnipotent. It is just to warn people and provide some basic methods to identify demons and try to protect themselves.

However, it can be proved indirectly that as long as the fist is strong enough, the mouth of Jianghu Pavilion can be changed.

In ancient times, spiritual energy was abundant and fairy flowers were everywhere. It was a good time when even pigs could become spirits.

Countless powerful characters were born at that time, but with the changes of the times, most of them disappeared in the torrent of history.

The second is news about "Notes on Subduing Demons". Jianghu Pavilion spoke highly of the book and called on everyone to use the knowledge in the book rationally, protect themselves according to the law when encountering evil demons, and not to make trouble when encountering good demons.

If someone relies on having learned a few tricks and goes to provoke demons, he will probably die without a burial place.

"Gu God..."

As for the Gu God, he is a representative of the demons in ancient times. Gu is difficult to deal with, and if the Gu God revives, all the Gu in the world will obey his orders, and the people who raise Gu will become "workers".

Some fell, while others remained in seclusion, eager to find a new path and go to a new world.

But before Lu Zhan could be happy, he saw a small comment below the article: Lu Zhan got drunk in a brothel in December and invited friends to get drunk for three days. Young Master Lu has both talent and wisdom, it would be best if he could be less romantic.

Before his death, the Gu God left behind a last will, saying that he would eventually make a comeback.

The Gu God originally protected all the Gu in southern Xinjiang. People practiced with the Gu's vitality and did not harm anyone.

"..."

Two months ago, the poisonous insects in southern Xinjiang began to move strangely, and some people suspected that this was a sign of the revival of the poisonous god.

Now that it has been overturned, people are very happy.

Lu Zhan had read "The History of the Great Zhou Dynasty" and had a relatively good understanding of events in ancient times.

It is said that the current Grand Master has outstanding literary talent and has worked hard on "Notes on Suppressing Demons". It is also said that the Grand Master is gentle and quiet, and is a goddess sent by heaven to protect the Great Zhou. It is also said that the Grand Master has devoted herself to the country and the people, etc.

How could they be sleeping with prostitutes? They just had two drinks in Baihu Street to welcome Chun Ge and Zhuge Chen.

Lu Zhan seemed to be smiling. In the past, whenever he went to Jianghu Pavilion, he was basically criticized in the press. It was rare that he was portrayed in a positive light.

The corner of Lu Zhan's eyes twitched slightly. You call this real?

No wonder the people of Great Zhou had such a deep misunderstanding of the Grand Master. It turned out that it was all because of Jianghu Pavilion.

Female bosses are indeed far ahead in becoming capitalists.

And at the end of the article, it was written in bright red font: Jianghu Pavilion is upright and will never be influenced by external forces. It only reports real events.

Lu Zhan's face darkened. These bastards from Jianghu Pavilion actually didn't even let their own young leader go.

"Tsk..."

The female boss incorporated the Black Water Sect into a coal mining team, generating income for the court and serving the people, and received strong praise from the Jianghu Pavilion.

But later, in order to break through to a higher realm, the Gu God did not hesitate to use Gu to harm hundreds of thousands of people, trying to break through to a new realm with human essence. It is said that he was about to touch a new avenue, but was later killed by the Immortal Sect in the Thousand Jue Valley in southern Xinjiang, his soul scattered and his body turned to ashes.

Jianghu Pavilion launched a special investigation in southern Xinjiang, but found nothing unusual.

The Southern Xinjiang Gu God is not a god. Rather, in ancient times, the Southern Xinjiang Gu tribe flourished and a spiritual Gu cultivated into a human being, climbed to the realm of divine consciousness, and because he could mobilize tens of thousands of Gu, he called himself the Gu God.

Once the Gu God revives, the people of southern Xinjiang will be doomed.

The third piece of news was about the Southern Xinjiang Gu God.

Lu Zhan suspected that he had read it wrong. Putting aside his outstanding literary talent, just the four words "gentle and demure", are these the words to describe the Grand Master?

Note: Those who slept with Lu Zhan in the flowers included Young Pavilion Master Feng Nangong, who was specially criticized.

Jianghu Pavilion claimed that "Notes on Subduing Demons" was a move that would benefit all people, but it glossed over the founder and instead focused on praising the female boss.

Lu Zhan continued to look downward, his expression becoming increasingly strange.

Lu Zhan thought for a moment and looked down.

Lu Zhan continued to read, and what was written below was the sentencing of the Black Water Sect.

The above focuses on describing Lu Zhan's resourcefulness, from being an undercover in the Black Water Sect to capturing Black Crystal, and then using Black Crystal to gather evil cultivators... Although the wording is exaggerated, it is not out of line, and it looks particularly thrilling.

what?

Is this the Grand Master?

Jiang Hu Pavilion used 500 words to praise the wisdom of the Grand Master, which made Lu Zhan sigh with emotion.

Lu Zhan thought about it for a moment and realized that the realm currently displayed by the elders of the Immortal Sect was only the realm of creation.

If the Gu God revives, it will be difficult for the immortal sects to resist.

However, Lu Zhan did not believe that the Immortal Sect had no trump card. The so-called headmaster and elders were only people who were suitable for commanding and developing the Immortal Sect, and they were definitely not the highest fighting force.

The Immortal Gate has stood since ancient times, and I don’t know how many old monsters are hidden in it.

Now that the world is at peace, these old monsters do not appear in the world. Once a catastrophe occurs in the human world and the immortal sect suffers a devastating disaster, the old monsters will surely come into the world.

Lu Zhan thought for a moment and then looked at the next piece of news.

The next piece of news is about entertainment and leisure. Today is New Year’s Eve, and Jianghu Pavilion sends blessings to the world.

The blessing is quite cliché, but it took up an entire section.

Lu Zhan glanced through it briefly and then put the monthly report away.

Before I knew it, New Year's Eve had arrived and I didn't know how Jiang Jiang and Yueyue were doing.

Jiang Jiang and Yue Yue have not been seen since the Black Water Sect was wiped out. According to Lu Zhan's understanding, the sect leader and elders have not left Beijing. It seems that they are discussing important matters with the royal family and have held more than a dozen meetings for this purpose.

Jiang Jiang and Yue Yue were not qualified to attend such meetings, but they were following their seniors in the sect so it was inconvenient for them to meet.

Lu Zhan did not force it, so for a cultivator, the thing he had the most was time. However, he was not a native of the Great Zhou, so he always had some special feelings for the New Year. Now that he was in a foreign land, he could not help but feel a little lonely.

The cold wind brought the accumulated snow, with a faint fragrance floating in the air.

Lu Zhan came to the door holding a big snow-white fox, carefully posted couplets, and hung a few red lanterns in the yard, creating a vague New Year atmosphere.

"Why do we have to put up couplets?" Xiaobai asked in a low voice, curled up lazily in Lu Zhan's arms.

Lu Zhan stroked her furry head and whispered, "The couplet originated from peach charms, which are said to be able to ward off ghosts."

"Ah? So from now on, I don't need to practice anymore and can just use Spring Festival couplets?"

“You can do that.”

"..."

Lu Zhan held Xiaobai in his arms with a smile and explained to her the meaning of Spring Festival couplets.

Spring Festival couplets originated from peach charms, because peach charms can drive away ghosts, and later gradually evolved into spring festival couplets that can ward off evil spirits.

During every Spring Festival, every household will put up Spring Festival couplets, praying for family safety and success in the coming year.

But even for cultivators, not everything goes smoothly. Spring Festival couplets are just the hopes of the people in the world for their future lives, representing hope and beauty.

……

bang bang bang-

As night falls, the city of Bianjing is lit up with thousands of lights and red lanterns are hung at the door of every house, looking like red stars from afar.

The night sky was lit up by fireworks of various colors blooming one after another. The streets were full of craftsmen, lion dancing, acrobatics, and music, and laughter was mixed in the bustle.

Lu Zhan did not go out to join in the fun. He calmed down and cooked a few dishes slowly and leisurely.

Stir-fried bacon with garlic sprouts, sweet and sour carp, chicken wrapped in lotus leaves, and fried radish meatballs.

Lu Zhan's cooking skills were OK, but he was not very good at frying radish meatballs. But Xiaobai didn't mind. After the meatballs were put into the pot, she waited anxiously while lighting the fire. When the slightly charred meatballs came out of the pot, she couldn't wait to pick one up and put it in her mouth.

Because it was too hot and she didn't want to vomit, she kept fanning herself with her palms and ate the meatballs while breathing out hot air.

It was Xiaobai’s first time to eat radish meatballs. She squinted her eyes happily. Although there was a burnt smell, she didn’t mind at all.

The courtyard was gradually filled with the aroma of food.

Lu Zhan placed the food on the table in the pavilion and lit the red lanterns in the courtyard. The pavilion became brighter. The light from the lanterns was slightly yellow and red, making the surroundings seem warm.

The sound of firecrackers outside rose and fell one after another, and it seemed that one could see smiling faces laughing and talking through the fireworks.

Xiaobai doesn't like the sound of firecrackers. Her ears drooped and she ate the chicken leg happily, as if all the excitement outside had nothing to do with her.

Lu Zhan smiled and shook his head slightly, envying her heartless appearance.

But there are some things that cannot be envied.

Lu Zhan raised his head and could see the bright moon hanging in the sky behind the lively fireworks.

I can only sigh that this place is not that place, and that place is hard to reach.

Even the crescent moon looks different.

……

As the night deepens, the sound of firecrackers shows no sign of stopping. There is no curfew in the Great Zhou tonight, so it is expected to be a lively night.

After Lu Zhan finished his meal, he went to the room to meditate.

Tonight officials are on vacation and people are reunited, but their souls cannot rest.

Yuanshen No. 3 is growing very fast. He can vaguely sense that the Buddha's charm of picking flowers is becoming more and more obvious. His cultivation speed is accelerating day by day. Once he finishes devouring the Demon King, he will reach adulthood.

Unfortunately, the demon soul of the Demon King is so hard to chew that it has become reserve food.

When the four spirits were hungry, they would take a bite and then continue practicing.

After Lu Zhan manually urged his soul to cultivate three times, he felt bored, so he got up and went to the window. The sound of firecrackers could not disturb the cultivator, but he just didn't want to fall asleep tonight.

Outside the window is a lush plum forest, which looks particularly bright from afar because of the snow.

Xiaobai was squatting in the snow pile, carefully burying the uneaten radish balls in the snow.

Lu Zhan found it funny, so he called out to her through the round window: "What are you doing?"

Xiaobai turned back suddenly, her eyes seemed a little panicked, she covered the snow pile and asked in surprise: "Master, did you see it?"

Lu Zhan asked with a smile: "Why put the radish balls in the snow?"

Xiaobai answered seriously: "My mother said that if we put food in the snow, it can be preserved for a long time and can be eaten in spring."

Lu Zhan laughed in silence, knowing that she was used to living in the wild and had not yet fully adapted to being a human, so he said, "If you can't finish it tonight, continue eating tomorrow. After you finish it tomorrow, you can continue making it if you want to eat it. You don't have to hide it."
