Sword comes

Liu Xiang glanced at the sacred road that went up the mountain and seemed to reach the sky, and said with a smile: "Lord Wei, Patriarch Lu, you two continue to talk about your business, and we will just drink our tea."

Lu Shen was slightly embarrassed. Chen Pingan was not in the mountain, so there was no point in talking more with Wei Bo. This time, he mentioned Ma Kuxuan's direct lineage, which was originally a bargain for Luopu Mountain. There was no more business to talk about. Besides, Lu Shen didn't even want to see Zheng Juzhong, let alone talk about things at the same table with him. It would consume too much Taoist power. As for "Liu Xiang", Lu Shen had to participate in an ancient sacrificial ceremony hosted by the abbot of the Lu family every year when he was young. He also played the role of a Taoist priest who chanted blessings on the altar several times. The name written on the main tablet of the deity who was worshipped and received incense was the real name of the god "Liu Xiang".

Liu Xiang seemed unwilling to let Lu Shen go. "There are family traditions for reading books, and there are ways to study. Committing crimes in broad daylight, robbing on the road, and killing people in the alleys are all better than being a Buddha during the day and a ghost at night."

Just like a landlord beating a tenant farmer in person, the situation was beyond his control, and Lu Shen had no choice but to sit down. Liu Xiang and Zheng Juzhong, when they appeared together, anyone who saw them would be overwhelmed.

Chen Lingjun was confused and glanced at Wei Yeyou. He was indeed a good brother from Piyun Mountain. He felt as if he were in the clouds and mist as well.

Wei Bo was surprised why Liu Xiang showed up with Zheng Juzhong. He was even more curious about whether there was a hierarchy between the two parties in their trip, and what they wanted to "ask for advice" from Lu Shen?

Upon hearing that the distinguished guests wanted to drink tea, Xiaomili asked them to wait for a moment and she ran to boil water. Taoist Xianwei also went to get the first-picked wild tea that the old chef had picked and roasted himself.

A table was placed at the foot of the mountain, and Liu Xiang naturally sat at the main seat facing Luopu Mountain. The mountain owner was not at home, so Wei Bo hosted the banquet on his behalf. Zheng Juzhong sat opposite Wei Bo, and Lu Shen sat opposite Liu Xiang, who was sitting north and south, and was the last seat. The boy in green had just recognized a cheap relative and had gained a generational status for nothing. He was busy grinning and laughing, and had no idea of ​​the undercurrents at the table.

Wei Bo and Lu Shen were disgusted with each other, but they treated Liu Xiang, a powerful mountain god and a Yin-Yang master who examined the five elements of the heaven, with much more respect than ordinary cultivators.

Seeing Liu Xiang, who was born from the manifestation of the vast heaven and earth, is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to "see the truth".

It's like a businessman complaining that he has never seen big money in his life, and then he sees the real Liu Jubao.

Liu Xiang was right beside him. Although Wei Bo seemed a little reserved, he was not afraid to say anything. Since Liu Xiang was willing to listen in, Wei Bo was happy to help Chen Pingan, Luopushan and Liu Xiang gain some momentum. Wei Bo snorted and continued the previous topic, "'Qi', what a good Qii."

The word "屺" means that the mountain is rocky, barren and hard, with sparse vegetation and no vitality. According to the saying on the mountain, it is an "empty mountain", similar to "straight water". According to Feng Shui common sense, Luopu Mountain is large and empty, so it is not easy to gather energy and it is not suitable to be developed into a large Taoist temple. Either an empty mountain consumes the spirit of the Taoist priest, or the Taoist priest needs a lot of external objects and rare treasures to fill the gaps in Feng Shui. In short, the Taoist priest and the Taoist temple are likely to conflict. In this case, what is the point of buying such a Taoist temple?

Lu Shen said: "On the surface, this mountain is really useless, so it is not in the eyes of ordinary Qigong practitioners, but in the long run, it is in line with Chen Ping'an's fate."

Wei Bo sneered, "Lu Wei is an immortal after all, why didn't he take Luopu Mountain first? Even if we take a step back, the Lu family has the advantage of first move, so they should cast a wide net. Not to mention Luopu Mountain and Tiandu Peak, they could also take Tiaoyu Mountain and Fuyaolu together, and connect them in a line in the south. What's the difficulty? It doesn't make sense. Please enlighten me, Master Lu."

At that time, the Empress Dali, Nanzan, whose real name was Lu Jiang, had not yet become the abandoned child of the Central Plains Lu family. She was extremely powerful in the court, and at least half of the spies were under her control. Everyone would think that this was a kind of checks and balances tactic used by the late emperor. Xiuhu managed the government, the vassal king Song Changjing was in charge of the border troops, and Nanzan handled intelligence. Among the three, there would be interference from each other, and in addition, there were also the surnames of those Shangzhuguo... In short, no single force was allowed to become too powerful and have the opportunity to dictate the government and abuse power.

Out of a hundred things, history can explain ninety-nine of them, but there is always one thing that creates new history for future generations to learn from.

Lu Shen shook his head, "I can't do it. I have the will but not the strength."

Liu Xiang smiled and explained, "Lu Wei was severely punished by Mr. Qi before. He felt guilty and didn't dare to stretch his hands too far anymore. When Xiuhu takes over this place, if Lu wants to do something, he will have to act according to others' wishes. For example, if Lu Shen wants to use Tiandu Peak as a place to stay and start a new business, he must first ask Xiuhu's opinion. If it's okay, he will go ashore on Baoping Island. If not, he will go home and look for another opportunity."

Chen Lingjun was shocked. That embroidered tiger was so domineering? He remembered that he was quite easy to talk to the last time they met. Could it be that the national teacher saw that he had a unique talent and treated him with special favor?

Zheng Juzhong seemed uninterested in the conversation and just looked at the table.

In fact, Zheng Juzhong did not intercept Zhao Shuxia's thoughts on the rural road before, but just explained a few words to Wei Bo, saying that Liu Xiang wanted to visit Chen Ping'an's school, and Wei Bo certainly trusted Zheng Juzhong. The problem is that even if he doesn't trust him, what can he do? Wei Bo can only wait until Chen Pingan returns and then mention this matter, letting Chen Pingan worry about it himself.

Liu Xiang glanced at Lu Shen, "It's true that you can't do it, but 'the will is there but the strength is not' is an irony. It's true that you have more strength but less confidence. I guess when Cui Luo went to Tiandu Peak and found you, Cui Luo must have known it in his mind, and he bet that you didn't dare to gamble. For example, Cui Luo would deliberately persuade you to let the Lu family take a gamble and bet on Aquarius Island. If it works, he will help you deal with Zou Zi? You really don't dare to gamble. You can only help Cui Luo keep an eye on Master Chen's travels, Aquarius Island, going out to sea, Jianqi Great Wall, Tongye Island, Shujian Lake, Beijulu Island... Just like a new gatekeeper who replaced Lin Zhengcheng, Cui Luo and the Dali court don't have to pay a salary, they can use a great master of the Yin-Yang family who has reached the perfect level of Ascension for free. Lu Shen will only pay more attention to every contact between Zou Zi and Chen Pingan than him."

Lu Shen remained silent. At this table today, it is easy to make more mistakes than to talk too much.

Wei Bo sighed in his heart. If Lord Lu had dared to take the gamble back then, with the help of the Lu family from Central Earth, the two battles at Old Dragon City in the south of Aquarius and the secondary capital of Dali in the middle would probably have only caused more pain to the wilderness.

The reason why Lu Shen did not nod was, of course, that he did not think Xiu Hu had the strength to compete with Zou Zi. It was impossible. Lu Shen was extremely sure of one thing at that time: no matter how powerful Cui Luo was, with a 200-year Taoist age, he could not possibly be qualified to be on equal footing with Zou Zi.

Anyway, he had already taken a seat, so he might as well make the best of it. While trying to figure out what Zheng Juzhong was really thinking about, Lu Shen asked, "When Master Chen went south, was it out of his own will or was it because of the guidance of an expert?"

Wei Bo shook his head and said, "Chen Ping'an never mentioned this."

Lu Shen was not asking Wei Bo, he just hoped that Liu Xiang would say a few more words on this matter.

At the beginning of Luopu Mountain, although Chen Pingan obtained the land deed from the Dali court, it was indeed not suitable for him to live in the mountain for a long time, as it was easy to be deprived of his vitality. It was because Chen Pingan was at his most turbid and weak stage at that time. Since the water and soil in the mountain could not support people for the time being, he could not support the mountain, and it would only cause trouble for each other. So the best choice was to leave Luopu Mountain temporarily. Ordinary people thought that the young man's trip to send the sword and go to the Sword Qi Great Wall to meet Ning Yao was the only reason. Lu Shen could naturally see a deeper level. There must be a master's guidance, which made Chen Pingan so anxious to leave the town.

Chen Lingjun's expression moved slightly, Wei Bo's eyes suddenly became sharp, Chen Lingjun felt very aggrieved, Wei Yeyou: "Hey, I'm not a fool, can I tell outsiders about such family affairs?"

In fact, Chen Ping'an's trip to the south was indeed very particular. Old Man Yang from the medicine shop personally came forward and asked Li Xisheng, who had come down from Luopu Mountain, to help him tell his fortune. Then he came up with the saying "The road is straight, and the benefits are in the south." (Note 1, Chapter 192 "Writing Like a God")

Liu Xiang sighed, "Ten thousand years pass, and a new book is written. How to divide the era and define the beginning is a great question in academic research and cultivation."

"As for your views on this matter, neither the Lu family nor the Yunlin Jiang family can be said to be late to the party. Although there is still some suspicion of accidental discovery."

"The first hexagram in the human world, which is praised as the first of all classics, is the Qian hexagram. God Lu, what do you think about this?"

The dignified head of the Lu family was actually like a child being tested by a teacher.

Lu Shen did not dare to take it lightly. He carefully brewed his words and slowly said: "The host and the guest are evenly matched. There are four kinds of half visible and half invisible. First, in the whole world, only in the Lizhu Cave Heaven, the ancient divine way and the current avenue are balanced. It is a hidden and even inverted host-guest relationship. On the contrary, the visible is that the town is the place where the real dragon fell, which is another kind of visible and invisible inversion that is tit-for-tat with the outside world. The three religions have to suppress the fate of the real dragon through four treasures. Second, the future Chen Shanzhu and the East Sea Water God formed a pact at that time, one visible and one hidden. Third, someone at the table and all the others are one hidden and one visible. Who this 'someone' is, no one knew it back then. I'm afraid even the person in the medicine shop, who was the one who set the table, didn't know who the flower fell to."

In the past, there was an iron-locked well in the town, which was used to imprison the "evil dragon". On a snowy night, the trapped dragon finally got water. In Niping Lane, she secretly signed an equal contract with Chen Ping'an, and on the surface became Song Jixin's maid. Wang Zhu used the energy of Song Jixin, the son and grandson of the dragon, as food, and "Zhigui" was like drilling a hole in the wall to steal light, stealing and eroding the energy of Chen Ping'an next door.

"Whether it's commenting on scriptures or interpreting hexagrams, Qi Jingchun is the first person to truly understand the secrets of heaven. It's just that the price he had to pay for it was indeed a bit high."

"Master Lu's solution, to be a disciple of heaven, is second best."

"Cui Luo doesn't care about 'people', he only cares about 'things'. He is responsible for the end of the chessboard. Being the last one, he becomes the first one in a different way."

Having patiently listened to Master Lu's "exegesis", Liu Xiang asked with a smile, "Is this all the Master Lu's 'brilliant ideas'?"

Zheng Juzhong finally spoke up and added, "It's still an open-book exam."

Seeing Lu Shen being humiliated, Wei Bo's depressed mood was relieved a little.

However, the little boy in blue hurriedly winked at Zheng Juzhong, reminding "nephew Zheng" in his heart that the guy's surname is Lu. What if he is a master of the Central Earth Lu family? Don't be quick to argue with him, or he will hold a grudge against you... You should also advise your friends around you that if they like to say scary words, they should just say their words well, and don't learn from Wei Shanjun, who always speaks in a sarcastic way, makes innuendos, and makes sarcastic remarks about the "Master Lu" for no reason... If this "Master Lu" is really related to the "Master Lu" who ranks very high in the "Passerby Collection", I can't protect your friend!

Zheng Juzhong smiled and said in his heart, it can't be such a coincidence, the one with the surname Zheng is Zheng Juzhong, and the one with the surname Lu is related to the Lu family in Central Earth?

Chen Lingjun was furious, and replied in a hurry with sincere words, "Nephew, you don't know that I have never gotten along with the surname Lu, so don't let me implicate you... To be honest, there was a Taoist priest surnamed Lu who came to the mountain before... Forget it, it's not a hero to say bad things about people behind their backs. That guy is still very powerful, but he doesn't like me, which doesn't affect his greatness. As for who he is, his surname and name, you can just guess that he is of high status and has the highest level of Taoism. In short, please advise your friend not to save face for me, just tell him directly, just say that I, Chen Lingjun, and the surnamed Lu have some mysterious fate that is incompatible, and let your friend take it easy. When you go out, you are not discussing Taoism with others, so why bother to decide the winner with words? There is no winner in any quarrel in the world.

Zheng Juzhong said, "I told my friend about it, but he didn't seem to appreciate it. He said that my uncle was too timid because he was older than me."
