"Don't you blame me for cutting off your limbs and locking you in a dungeon for torture?"
Zhang Taichu turned around, looked at Lu Liang who was prostrated, and said with a chuckle.
Lu Liang knocked his forehead to the ground and said respectfully: "Enmity is hatred, kindness is kindness. In my heart, it is a great kindness that you are willing to help me find out all the truth."
"The life in the dungeon was never easy, but I finally realized that having both hands was a blessing in disguise, or it was destined... After all, compared to the torture suffered by my predecessor Duanmu Ying, the torture I suffered Pain is nothing at all.”
"Liang, thank you for your kindness, I will never forget it in this life!"
Having said this, Lu Liang lowered his head again and knocked his forehead to the ground, but was touched by an invisible force. When he raised his head, he saw Zhang Taichu's smiling face.
"Let me tell you, this good little boy, where has the Lu in your name gone?" Zhang Taichu asked.
When Lu Liang heard this, his nose became sore. He resisted the urge to cry. He reached out and rubbed his eyes hard and said, "I extracted Lu Ci's memory, so I know better what crimes the Lu family committed against Duan Muying." It is so tragic that my body... was born with sinful blood, and I still want to eat her flesh and drink her blood... Now that I understand everything, I no longer want to have anything to do with this filthy family!"
"So from now on I only have my first name and no longer have a surname!"
Zhang Taichu nodded: "Okay, it's up to you. Even if I think about calling it a good word, it's always a little weird."
Lu Liang's face was startled, and then he wiped away his blurred tears excitedly: "What the real person means is, are you willing to take me in? Give me a surname?"
"If the real person will not give up, I will bow down to you!"
With that said, he bent down again and was about to hit Zhang Taichu's head, but he was supported again.
Zhang Taichu's mouth twitched, and he shook his head in confusion: "How can you be so imaginative? I didn't promise to take you into Longhu Mountain."
Lu Liang lowered his head with deep regret, reached out and touched his head, and said awkwardly: "I'm sorry, Master, I was overthinking it."
Zhang Taichu raised his brows, clasped his hands behind his back, and walked slowly past Lu Liang, heading in the direction of Zhengyi Guan.
But when he walked a few steps away, he said with a smile: "It's not impossible. If you stay on my Longhu Mountain and behave well, you may be able to enter the Zhengyiguan practice."
After saying that, he walked away leisurely.
Lu Liang, who was still kneeling on the spot, was stunned for a few seconds, then his face showed a deep joy, and he murmured: "Enter Zhengyikan to practice? Do I have a chance to enter the disciples of Zhenren?"
"If you give me another surname... Zhang Liang?"
Lu Liang's eyes gradually brightened, thinking that this is really a good name!
…
At night.
There is a tea pavilion somewhere in the mountain behind Longhu.
Four figures were sitting around the tea table, and the tea was steaming, exuding a refreshing fragrance.
Tian Jinzhong, who had recovered his limbs, held the cup of hot tea with his own hands, put it to his mouth and tasted it. His throat moved slightly, and the tea liquid was sent into his stomach. He closed his eyes and tasted it for a while, then put down the tea cup. Suddenly he sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect that Lu Ci would do such a heartbreaking thing to Duan Muying and end up like this."
"Old man, I have been sitting in a wheelchair for so many years, staying shut in the door all day long. Now when I look around, I realize that everything has changed."
After listening to his senior brother tell what happened, he felt mixed emotions in his heart at this moment.
Zhang Taichu said: "Perhaps Lu Ci was affected by the demonic energy to reach this stage, but it is still his own fault and no one else."
Having said this, several people fell into a brief silence again, and each took a few sips of tea.
Zhang Zhiwei said: "I have already seen the leech pill that Lao Lu brought back. It does not have any demonic energy at all. It is just rusty copper and rotten iron."
Lu Jin: "When Wang Ye took it out from the Lu family's Four Symbols Formation, the leech pill already looked like this. I was also surprised at the time. It took me a long time to touch it before I was sure that it was the demon knife."
Zhang Taichu shook his head: "The blade is just a carrier. The strange thing is the demonic energy inside. But the demonic energy is difficult to eliminate, and the sword happened to be rusted overnight. I never think that the Lu family's formation can achieve this step. Come to think of it, That demonic energy...may have escaped from the Lu family through some opportunity."
"If that's the case, things will be a little difficult to handle."
As he said that, he turned to look at Zhang Zhiwei and said: "Senior brother, I already know the content of the Heavenly Master's education... such as the dragon-making technique, which can subvert the human world, is indeed no longer suitable for the public, and needs to be blocked by all the major sects. "
"But in the Twenty-Four Festival Valley, the Ziyang Master Zhang Boduan, who ascended thousands of years ago, left a Qi Jue about the secret of dragon-making in the deepest part of the valley, that is, the Thirty-Six Yiwu Surprisingly I tried to destroy the technical ceremonial guard, but accidentally entered the extraordinary place I mentioned to you again."
"There, I saw a river of demonic energy thousands of miles wide, escaping from the Yin-Yang Bagua restriction covering the universe, polluting the originally pure vitality, and flowing towards the stars... After seeing At that scene, I felt palpitations and panic like never before."
Listening to this narrative, the other three people could not help but frown, and they all realized that perhaps this world is facing a crisis!
"What exactly is Demon Qi? Did it escape from that extraordinary place to this world? Where is that extraordinary place? Is it a real place?" Lu Jin's doubts became more intense.
Tian Jinzhong took a sip of tea and said: "This reminds me of the ten demons recorded in ancient scriptures. On the way to seek immortality, ascetics often experience the so-called demon exams, which are the various illusions and confusions created by the so-called inner demons and heavenly demons... I have experienced alcohol, sex, wealth, and the eight hells. If I am not careful, all my previous efforts will be wasted. The demonic energy you describe can mess up people's minds, which is very consistent."
Lu Jin said: "Cultivating one's body and cultivating one's mind to be flawless is based on the monk's own affairs, so why does it have anything to do with the demonic energy from somewhere?"
Tian Jinzhong shook his head: "This is just what I suddenly thought of. Maybe the two have nothing to do with each other."
Zhang Taichu smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. As the saying goes, soldiers will stop him and water will cover him. Although Qutong disappeared and still carries a strange devilish aura, he can still catch him if he can't escape on the first day of the lunar month, but not on the 15th day of the lunar month."
"At worst, we will go out in troubled times and be righteous men who can save the world, haha."
When the other people heard this, they also relaxed their brows and laughed out loud.
Zhang Zhiwei joked: "Junior brother, if the day comes when heaven really comes, you, the only remaining immortal in the world, will have to support me."
Zhang Taichu laughed and said: "Okay, let me support you!"
On September 1, everything goes well.
Especially suitable for marriage.
The weather was sunny and cloudless that day.
The atmosphere in the back mountain of Longhu Mountain, a 5A-level scenic spot with beautiful scenery, is very different from the past.
But I saw that the lush old trees were all equipped with bright red pendants with the word "Happy", and there were brand-new red cloth carpets, which were laid from the back mountain intersection along the stone path in the forest to the gate of the View of Justice.
This Taoist ancestral palace, which covers an extremely large area, is now no longer as quiet as it used to be, and is filled with a strong festive atmosphere.
All Longhushan disciples were wearing brand-new Taoist uniforms and were busy hanging all kinds of exquisite decorations on the surrounding wooden buildings and stone walls. They all had smiles of joy from the bottom of their hearts on their faces, talking to each other. They talked and laughed, and worked very energetically.
They knew in their hearts that today was a big day - the wedding day of the Longhu Mountain Lingyu real person!
"Bilian, what's that smell on your head? It's really choking."
Xu Si fanned his nose with his hand and looked at Zhang Chulan, who was busy hanging a welcome ribbon on his body, and then looked at the other person's black and white suit and arrogant bird's nest hairstyle, with disdain in his eyes.
Zhang Chulan raised his eyebrows, touched his hair that he had styled for a full hour, and said proudly: "Fourth brother, what do you know? This is this year's internet celebrity hairstyle. I sprayed half a bottle of hairspray before doing it. How's it coming out? Are you in high spirits?"
Xu Si chuckled: "It's like a bird's nest in the latest apartment. I'm telling you, boy, today is your uncle's wedding. Why are you so concerned about your appearance?"
Zhang Chulan smiled disdainfully, looked up and down Xu Si's brand new suit, smelled the faint smell of men's perfume, and finally stopped at his curly hair, and replied: "You still said that I dress myself up like He looks like Shaun the Sheep, with no aesthetics at all.”
"I, I am an important role today. Have you heard of the welcoming boy? I am the young master!"
As he spoke, he raised his chin towards Xu Si, shook his hair vigorously, finally turned around and headed for the back mountain intersection without looking back.
Xu Si, who stayed where he was, was stunned, turned to Xu San and Suzaku beside him and asked: "What does the welcome boy do?"
Suzaku thought for a while and hesitated: "The one who takes money from members?"
at the same time.
On the other side, Zheng Yi was looking at a small house.
A group of girls were busy surrounding Xia He, who was wearing splendid clothes.
"I think I should use this color lipstick."
"No, it should be lighter. We are going for a dignified and comfortable style!"
"Duo'er, where's the highlighter on the nose... let's cover up the imperfections a little bit here."
"Tsk, I think Sister Xia He is the most beautiful without makeup. I can't say that. After putting on makeup, she looks completely different."
"Wow, it's so golden! It's so beautiful!"
"Wear this phoenix crown again and see, my God, a fairy has descended to earth!"
"I want to take a photo as a souvenir, woohoo, I hope I can wear such a beautiful wedding dress once in my life."
"..."
Lu Linglong, Zhijinhua, and Chen Duo dragged the protagonist Xia He to this house early in the morning. It can be said that they tried their best and put a lot of thought into dressing up as the most beautiful bride in history!
Obviously, their goal has been achieved.
At this moment, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror was an extremely beautiful woman, Xia He, who was the protagonist of today's wedding.
Her delicate facial features, carefully curated, will make anyone who sees her stunned and shocked!
It is also said that people are in high spirits during happy events, and the vitality revealed from the inside out adds to its charm!
In addition, it is sponsored by Tianxiahui and hand-sewn by masters, and an extremely exquisite phoenix crown.
Lu Linglong stared blankly at Xia He's extremely beautiful figure from the side, with envy in her eyes unconsciously.
Hibiscus aurantium has the urge to kneel down and call out "Wish the Queen be blessed!"
"I think senior brother is really blessed to be able to marry a woman like Sister Xia He in his previous life." Lu Linglong praised again.
Xia He blushed prettyly and looked at himself in the mirror, his eyes filled with extremely rich happiness.
Finally, the happy moment she has been longing for for many years...is it finally coming?
…
In another house.
Zhang Lingyu, who seemed a little at a loss, was like a puppet, letting Zhuge Qing and Wang Ye around him move their hands and feet on him, adjusting every detail.
"If you ask me, we should dye Priest Lingyu's white hair into golden hair. Hey, it's definitely fashionable!"
"Paired with my well-designed classical wedding dress, tsk tsk, it will definitely become a powerful weapon that can conquer all girls!"
Zhuge Qing rubbed his hands into mud and combed Zhang Lingyu's white hair while mumbling something.
Wang Ye, who was nibbling the green pear next to him, nodded and said:
"When the time comes, I will be like a blue-haired guy like you and become a non-mainstream person."
"I think the original ecology is the best. Lingyu is in very good condition right now."
Zhuge Qing glanced at the other party with an unkind look: "You stinky bull nose, are you questioning my aesthetics? I have won an international gold medal."
As he spoke, he stopped groping for Zhang Lingyu's head, highlighted the extremely exquisite long back hair, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Tao Priest Lingyu's exquisite facial features, combined with my His makeup skills are so handsome and inhumane."
"Don't worry, you don't have to do anything today. As long as you go to that station, everyone will know that you are the protagonist!"
…
At this moment.
Everyone is busy and happy for the wedding of the couple.
Ma Xianhong started his old job, controlling the reconnaissance flying insects to oversee the entire wedding preparations, taking charge of grasping the overall situation and correcting the details.
"That little Taoist priest, the four characters "hundred years of good times", a little to the left, yes, just a little bit, one finger..."
When he discovered the details, he immediately used the detection method to detect flying insects and command the little Taoist priests who were decorated with lanterns from a distance.
He is a professional at doing this kind of work!
…
At the intersection from the front mountain to the back mountain.
There was a man and a woman standing on the left and right sides of the intersection respectively, with incomparable smiles on their faces, trying hard to make every guest who received the invitation feel the warmth from within at the first time. The joy outside.
"Sister Bao'er, that smile of yours is too fake. You need to raise the corners of your mouth a little more, like me." Zhang Chulan said to Feng Bao'er opposite, and then stretched out his hand to gesture on his face.
Feng Baobao blinked his big eyes, half-understanding, and grinned, revealing eight big white teeth. He looked like a crazy zombie who had lost his mind during a trip to Busan.
"Forget it, Sister Bao'er, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Zhang Chulan couldn't bear to look directly at him.
At the intersection of Qianshan Road.
The sun had just risen not long ago.
There were already guests holding invitations, coming all the way from Qianshan.
They are all major sects and individual cultivators who have good relations with Longhu Mountain.
As the ancestral home of Taoism for thousands of years, Longhu Mountain is the head of the three sects of Fulu, and the friendly relations it has established can be said to be spread all over the world.
So on this day, the Longhu Qianshan ticket office was surprised to find that business was extremely good.
Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao were guarding the first intersection into the back mountain. Among the endless stream of young or old faces, they saw many familiar faces.
For example, early in the morning, Feng Zhenghao, the president of Tianxiahui, went up the mountain, bringing Feng Xingtong, Feng Shayan, and prospective son-in-law Jia Zhengliang with him.
Especially Feng Shayan, when passing by Zhang Chulan, she did not forget to taunt: "Hey, at this age, you are still a welcome boy. Why don't you turn around and beg me? I will give you the prestige of my best friend."
After saying that, she took Jia Zhengliang's arm and walked away in high heels.
Zhang Chulan, who had no time to reply, thought for two seconds and suddenly felt that accepting Feng Shayan's humiliation and assistance... seemed really good!
Among the people who went up the mountain after that, the other seven guys also arrived one after another. Even Guan Shihua, the leader who was far away in the northeast, took the trouble to come.
There are also Zhao Fangxu who specially brought a wig, Zhuge Gong, the head of the Zhuge Village family, Wang Weiguo, the father of Wang Ye who is famous on the Forbes list, villains Xia Liuqing and Mei Jinfeng, a group of noisy Lu family juniors, Luo Tianjiao Zhong The young man I met Toshihiko...
When these familiar people see Zhang Chulan, they will greet him with a smile: "Hey, Chu Lan, I didn't expect you to be the welcome boy."
So the embarrassment on Zhang Chulan's face became more intense, and she secretly cursed in her heart that Zhao Fangxu, who smiled the happiest, would have his wig blown away by the strong wind today.
Weddings in Longhu Mountain are different from weddings in other places. If a boy is required, it must be a genuine boy who has never been disgraced.
So Zhang Chulan went to this stop, and in a sense, it became a beautiful scenery.
"Damn it."
Zhang Chulan thought so.
But what pleased him was that along with the pain, there were also many little surprises.
Among the guests invited today to participate in the wedding of Longhu Mountain Lingyu Real Person, the most indispensable ones are the highly respected and highly respected bosses in the alien world, and they often bring their grandchildren and the like with them. .
And it just so happened that he, Zhang Chulan, was the champion of Luotian Dajiao, a disciple of Taichu Zhenren, a direct descendant of Longhu Mountain, and a rising star in the alien world. He had a light that could not be concealed by anything.
Ever since.
There were many old men and women who would stop at the intersection, introduce their granddaughters to Zhang Chulan intentionally or unintentionally, and try to win over her.
Zhang Chulan pretended to be serious on her face, but she was already smiling in her heart. She refused anyone who came, and used her mobile phone to add prestige, making her feel happy.
But at this moment, not far behind him, another conversation floated in the breeze and fell into his ears.
"Grandpa, I just saw that he added several girls on WeChat. He can't be a playboy, right?"
"Don't worry, granddaughter. This little baby Chu Lan is today's welcome boy. His primordial yang is still intact and he is a perfect virgin."
"Ah? At such an old age, you are still a virgin. There is no way..."
A few words were like knives, piercing Zhang Chulan's heart mercilessly.
Virgin, virgin, virgin, virgin × 99...
Zhang Chulan's head was buzzing, and he felt like the world was spinning. He wanted to cry without tears, and had lost hope for life.
Being a virgin is not a sin, it is really tiring to carry it on you!
…
The sun rises higher and higher.
Until one hour before the wedding officially started.
All the expected guests had already arrived, and the wedding was registered in the side room of Tianshi Mansion, where Lu Jin was.
In fact, Longhushan had already stated in the invitation that guests attending the wedding did not need to prepare any gifts at all.
But there is still no shortage of guests, who come with their own carefully prepared genius treasures.
Lu Jin couldn't refuse, so he accepted them all and registered them in the wedding account.
So Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao, who had finally finished their work, happened to see the juniors of the Lu family who were wowing each other as they walked past the hut.
"What happened, Hidden Dragon?"
Zhang Chulan curiously walked forward to watch the fun, and saw the room full of large and small boxes, and even a domineering horse. At the same time, he smelled a... strong medicinal fragrance!
The little fat man Zanglong swallowed, and pointed at the heavy wedding debt with trembling hands: "It's developed, it's developed, it's so inhumane!"
"It's always the 400-year-old white jade ginseng, and this is the worst."
"Look at this again, a sword given by the Kunlun Sword Sect, forged from the secret gold of Xuantian Tianwai. I always thought this thing was a legend in ancient books!"
"Also, President Feng directly arranged for Lingyu to stay in hotels for the rest of his life. All the expenses were covered by the black gold VVIP honorary status. He also gave two beauty pills left by Liu Baiqing, a doctor who lived more than a hundred years ago. ,besides……"
"And who is this Wang Weiguo? Is he Taoist Wang Ye's father? He just gave him a sea view villa. Oh my god, it's hundreds of millions. How many years of work will it take me to do this!" "
"And this, the snow-trotting Pegasus sent by the Golden Family of Inner Mongolia, with dragon scales on its eyebrows. It is a real strange beast. It is said that when the bloodline is activated, it can open its mouth and spit fire. This is a symbol of status!"
"and this……"
"No, why is there a baby bus stroller here? Hey, I want to see who gave this thing - Wang Zhenqiu, who can go anywhere?"
"..."
Zhang Chulan stood aside and stared blankly at the blessing gifts sent by the guests. He felt his head was buzzing and the sound of gold coins falling from the sky was heard.
"Uncle Lingyu is getting married. This means he will be promoted to Forbes in an instant. Are all the guests so crazy..."
Thinking of this, an irresistible urge to get married suddenly surged in his heart!
After all, he is also a direct descendant of the Tianshi Mansion. If he gets married, he will receive membership money and gifts. The requirements are not much, he only needs to be half of his uncle.
With only half of it, wouldn't this incredible wealth fall on Zhang Chulan's head?
"Gulu~"
Zhang Chulan, who has not even been able to achieve the freedom of pig trotters, feels dry at the moment and wishes she could get married where she is.
Thinking of this, he turned his eyes to Feng Baobao on the side, looked at the latter, and asked tentatively: "Sister Bao'er, how about we work together and find time to get married in these two days?"
Feng Baobao's expression was startled, and his witty eyes narrowed slightly.
The next moment.
Dabi Douzi's voice greeted his face.
Along with the sound, there was Zhang Chulan's miserable wailing.
"I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously, Sister Bao'er, don't hit people in the face - ah!!"
