There are birds flying in the sky.
Lu Yun raised his eyes and waved his sleeves.
A large golden handprint whizzed past, catching all the birds returning to their nests.
The martial art "Dragon Capture Hand" was originally driven by Qi and blood, and its distance and power were limited. However, after the blessing of Zhenqi and Brahma's auspicious clouds, the power was greatly increased.
In layman's terms, it means changing from pure control skills to control plus output.
Lu Yun stood up with his hands closed and released his palms.
Chirp…
Several birds screamed in panic and flapped their wings vigorously.
"go."
Lu Yun raised his hand and gave them a ride.
Seeing the disappearing figures of the birds, Lu Yun's figure disappeared from the place in a flash.
The next moment, he had arrived at Xu Dongzhi's residence.
The already thin and disfigured Governor Xu did not sleep. There was a light on in the room, and the dim light filled the night sky through the window sill, like a watcher facing the darkness.
The double doors were ajar, and Lu Yun slowly pushed them open.
Squeak...
An old man who had taken off his official robe was sitting at a mottled wooden table, scratching his face with chopsticks.
The noodles were not rich at all, at least for the governor's level.
A handful of thin noodles, half a spoonful of broth, two tall and tall bok choy, and an egg are all a simple meal.
"Sorry, Mr. Lu, I suddenly felt hungry at night, so I cooked a bowl of noodles." Xu Dongzhi said with a smile while eating.
At this time, he was not like the governor of a state in the Daqian Empire, but more like an ordinary old farmer in the fields.
"It doesn't matter."
Lu Yun was not polite, moved a stool and sat down opposite him.
Xu Dongzhi smiled and continued eating noodles.
Accompanied by his rustling sound, the bowl of noodle soup quickly reached the bottom.
"Ah, delicious!"
A satisfied smile appeared on Xu Dongzhi's face. He looked at Lu Yun and said, "It's been a long time since I've had such delicious noodles."
Lu Yun also smiled: "What you eat is not the noodles, but your mood."
After saying that, Xu Dongzhi paused.
Lu Yun didn't make any unnecessary movements. His back was slightly bent and his hands were placed steadily on the wooden table, as if chatting with an old friend.
well……
Xu Dongzhi wiped his mouth, and then let out a long sigh: "Master Lu must have noticed a long time ago that the little old man's time is running out... Ahem."
Hearing this, Lu Yun's eyes lit up with two furnace-like flames, which instantly wiped out Xu Dongzhi's physical condition.
"The qi and blood in your body are disordered and weak, but there is true qi attached to the bones, and it is constantly polished and penetrated, as if the whole body's vitality is supporting your bones?"
Lu Yun's face was heavy. He felt that the mastermind behind the scenes seemed to be using Xu Dongzhi to do something.
"Haha, Mr. Lu is really a sharp eye." Xu Dongzhi said with a pale face.
Lu Yun thought for a while and said, "Your rapid promotion from the governor of Wancheng to the governor of Jingzhou is the compensation for you by the mastermind behind the scenes."
"This..." Xu Dongzhi hesitated, but it was this hesitation that made Lu Yun know that what he said was true.
"The mastermind behind the scenes should be someone from the Daqian court. Logically speaking, the appointment and dismissal of officials should go through the Ministry of Personnel, but it is also possible if it is a special clan member who is favored by the emperor..."
Xu Dongzhi had a look of pleading on his face and said, "Master Lu, I beg you, please stop talking."
"Is that person Li Yuxian, the eighth princess of the current Holy Emperor, titled Princess Yuan Zhen?" Lu Yunhe asked.
His aura was fully activated, like a fierce tiger, sternly questioning Xu Dongzhi's mind.
"Yes Yes Yes!"
Xu Dongzhi couldn't refuse at all, and subconsciously he didn't want to refuse either. He faced Lu Yun's intimidating gaze and finally admitted it.
Call...
Lu Yun let out a long breath and returned to the relaxed sitting position just now.
Feeling the sudden change in the atmosphere, Xu Dongzhi also gently wiped the fine sweat on his forehead.
"What kind of skills are you practicing?" Lu Yun suddenly asked.
"The castrated version of the Book of Bones."
Xu Dongzhi answered truthfully: "The Sutra of the White Bones is the foundation of the White Bone Buddhism. The whole body is used to support the bones, and after the bones are completed, the physical body is fed back. The skills Princess Yuanzhen gave me are only half of the previous ones."
At this point, he paused and then said: "If you want to get your other half, you have to keep doing things for her, and what you need to cooperate with her now is..."
Xu Dongzhi glanced at Lu Yun and hesitated to speak.
"Are you just cooperating with those people on the most wanted list to surround and kill our family?"
If he couldn't speak anymore, Lu Yun spoke for him.
"Oh, yes."
Lu Yun did not blame Xu Dongzhi for this, he just had a doubt in his heart.
According to his understanding of Xu Dongzhi, he doesn't look like the kind of person who is willing to pay any price for promotion in the official position?
Could it be that there is something in it that I don't know about?
Lu Yun asked his inner doubts.
Hearing this, Xu Dongzhi smiled miserably: "Master Lu is saying that I am indeed not one of those people who will do whatever it takes for mere fame and fortune!"
"The reason why I have reached this point is purely because those Bone Buddhism people took advantage of my weakness!" Xu Dongzhi said angrily.
"Weakness?" Lu Yun frowned slightly: "Could it be..."
Xu Dongzhi sighed: "Just as Mr. Lu thought, my only son Xu Chunyu has been controlled by them and has become neither human nor ghost. I really have no choice..."
Speaking of this, the dignified governor of Yizhou burst into tears.
Xu Chunyu?
The young man with oily hair and pink face appeared in Lu Yun's mind.
Strangely enough, he seemed to have never seen this person since he came to Jingzhou Governor's Mansion.
"So, your master, now..." Lu Yun said half of his words.
Xu Dongzhi stood up. At this time, he really looked like an old man in his twilight years.
"Master Lu, please come with me."
After saying that, Xu Dongzhi left the house and walked in front to lead the way.
He personally carried a yellowed lantern and walked along the corridor to a very remote and quiet courtyard.
The courtyard is overgrown with weeds, and from time to time you can see small insects flying among the weeds.
Apparently, no one had cleaned it in a long time.
Lu Yun looked at Xu Dongzhi, who nodded: "To be honest with Mr. Lu, this is the location of Quanzi. I am afraid that my servants will be harmed by him inadvertently, so I ordered that no one can come close to this place. I will deliver all the food.”
"So that's it. Governor Xu is serious about it." Hearing this, Lu Yun nodded.
The evaluation of Xu Dongzhi in my heart has once again risen to a higher level.
Squeak...
There was a small wooden house in the compound. Xu Dongshang stepped forward to unlock it and pushed the door open.
