"You don't need it, right?"
After hearing Lu Qing's words, Lu Xiu frowned slightly and said.
Lu Qing had a strange expression: "Big brother, who should I live with, second brother, or you?"
"this……!"
Lu Xiu was slightly stunned. Normally, since his parents were not alive, he was the eldest brother in the family, and his eldest brother was like his father.
The second brother and the younger sister are not married yet, so they have to live with him. After they get married, they can separate.
But now...
Lu Ning smiled and said: "Brother, we have to wait until I get married to separate the family. Besides, I started to separate the family just after I was named Shenwu Marquis by His Majesty. People who don't know, think that I can't tolerate my brother and sister-in-law. Woolen cloth."
"Isn't this making people gossip?"
"In my opinion, it's better than this. At least after the autumn of this year, if you and my little sister go to high school, then the government will reward you with a mansion. Then it won't be too late to move."
Hearing this, Lu Xiu and his wife Ruan Shuting looked at each other.
Ruan Shuting suddenly smiled and said: "Just follow the second brother's words and wait until Qiu Wei."
Afterwards, there was no further discussion about the separation of the family.
When she was half drunk, Ruan Shuting hesitated and looked at Lu Ning and said, "Second brother, what do you think Ruan Ping said about that matter?"
Lu Ning put down his chopsticks and said, "Ruan Ping, not long after entering the Qin Mansion, helped Qin Zhong to harm others. He is really a little kid."
"For now, he will be detained for at least three years."
Ruan Shuting breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't a capital crime, it would be easy.
After Qin Zhong was killed, the Qin Mansion was raided. No one in the Qin Mansion was spared. They were all arrested. Those who should be tried were tried and those who should be sentenced were sentenced.
Ruan Ping arrived relatively late. Although he helped Qin Zhong do bad things, the circumstances were not serious enough to warrant the death penalty.
With Lu Ning's current status, if he wanted to release Ruan Ping, he could just say a few words and say that he asked Ruan Ping to go to the Qin Mansion to work as an undercover agent, and Ruan Ping would be released immediately.
But Lu Ning would definitely not do this.
After a while, Ruan Shuting and Lu Qing went to rest.
Lu Ning and Lu Xiu were still drinking and talking. In the dead of night, the two brothers talked about their childhood.
Finally, Lu Ning took out the Yuan Pei Dan from his body and asked his elder brother to take it, saying that it could strengthen his body.
Given my eldest brother's age, although the Pulse Opening Pill is useful, it cannot make him achieve great achievements.
But the Yuan Pei Dan is different. It specializes in cultivating Yuan and building a foundation. Even if you are older, it will not be a big problem.
By taking the Peiyuan Pill and polishing it slowly, you can even out the age gap.
Lu Ning personally dredged his eldest brother's meridians and strengthened his energy.
In just half an hour, Lu Xiu felt energetic and energetic.
He looked at Lu Ning in surprise: "Am I now a warrior?"
Lu Ning shook his head and said, "Brother, it's early. Tomorrow I'll ask Kong Rong to find you some martial arts, boxing, palm skills, etc. Besides studying, you can also exercise to keep fit and prolong your life."
Lu Xiu nodded happily. Although he had looked down on martial arts before, there was no harm in learning martial arts. At least when he met gangsters, he would not be like a weak scholar, cowering away in fear.
Then Lu Ning found his younger sister Lu Qing and used the Pulse Opening Pill to open her pulse.
Open up fifteen meridians.
As for opening up the Qi Sea Dantian, it depends on Lu Qing himself.
"Second brother, I feel like I have become very powerful." Lu Qing clenched his fists and said with surprise on his face.
Lu Ning smiled: "Tomorrow I will ask Kong Rong to find you a mental training method. While reading, you can follow the breathing instructions on it and you will become even more powerful in the future."
Lu Qing was very happy when he heard this.
The next day.
The ninth day of June.
Experience: 640.1 million points.
At Mao hour, it's daybreak.
Lu Ning ordered Kong Rong to go to the palace to attend court.
Chencai returned to the Demon-Suppressing Division.
In front of the Hall of Justice, Lu Ning saw Lin Jian, and his eyes immediately brightened: "Have you decided?"
Lin Jian nodded and smiled: "It seems quite fun to come to the Demon Suppressing Division to be a Demon Suppressor."
Lu Ning nodded: "You don't need to take the exam. You will receive the fire-patterned unicorn suit later and directly serve as the deputy director of the Beizheng Division."
Lu Ning walked into the Hall of Justice.
Chen Hu, Zhang Chong, Zuo Hongchen, Ren Wujie, and Gu Wushuang are all here. "See you, sir."
Lu Ning nodded: "In the recent period, the Demon Suppression Division will not accept tasks for the time being. We will recruit people as soon as possible, conduct assessments, and train them to complete the staff."
"There is also a list of brothers who died on the battlefield. Compile it carefully. We should also take care of their families for a grand burial."
"It's my lord." The five people nodded.
Lu Ning looked at Lin Jian aside and said to the five of them: "You are all familiar with him. Lin Jian, the swordsman genius of Ziyang Sect, is a second-level strong man in the world. From today on, he will serve as the deputy director of Bei Zhengsi, Wushuang. You will take Deputy Director Lin to familiarize yourself with the position in a while."
"It's my lord." Gu Wushuang nodded.
She is also willing to let Lin Jian be her immediate boss.
Lu Ning continued: "Lin Jian is a second-level expert. If you have any questions about cultivation, you can ask him for advice."
Hearing this, Lin Jian raised his eyebrows, "Aren't you also a second-level expert?"
"It's my lord!"
Chen Hu and others glanced at Lin Jian excitedly, and Lin Jian gave the five of them a fake smile.
"Let's break up."
Lu Ning waved to Gu Wushuang and the others, leaving Lin Jian alone.
He looked at Lin Jian and said, "Gu Shuai, where are you?"
Lin Jian hesitated and said: "Gu Shuai, I don't want anyone to disturb him..."
Lu Ning interrupted Lin Jian, "Are you at the Great Buddha Temple?"
The Lin family looked surprised: "You can guess this? Bullshit! He is indeed in the Great Buddha Temple."
Lu Ning nodded, "Go ahead, go to Beizhengsi to familiarize yourself with the position."
Lin Jian nodded, turned and left.
Before noon, Lu Ning received the list of dead Demon Suppressors. There were 22,000 people in total, and 46,000 were still alive. However, only 39,000 could continue to work as Demon Suppressors in the Demon Suppression Division. people.
Lu Ning sat in the Hall of Justice, staring at the death list and meditating.
Then he called Pei Tianbei.
"See you, sir." Pei Tianbei saluted.
Lu Ning nodded and said, "Go and make some statistics. Give me the list of the soldiers of the three armies who died in this battle within three days. Those soldiers who cannot be buried in a dignified manner must be given generous pensions."
"It's my lord."
Pei Tianbei nodded silently and left quickly.
He is now the commander of the Black Tiger Cavalry. There were originally 100,000 Black Tiger Cavalry, but now there are only 50,000 left, and half of them died in the battle.
The number of soldiers still needs to be replenished, and the brothers who died in battle need to be buried with honors.
noon.
A dragon carriage came to the palace and Lu Ning was picked up personally.
Yongle Palace.
The empress had already prepared a banquet for King Beimang, Duke Zhen Guo, Mu Yan, Zhang Juming, Shi Rui, and the princesses and princes of the five countries.
When Lu Ning arrived, everyone stood up to show their respect.
The empress also stood up from the dragon chair and looked at Lu Ning with a smile.
"I am here to see you, Your Majesty."
"I have met King Beimang, Duke Sheng Guo, and all the other great lords."
"I have met the princesses and princes of the five countries."
Lu Ning greeted him with such politeness that it made people feel flattered.
"Marquis Shenwu, please take your seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Lu Ning nodded and began to take his seat.
At today's lunch banquet, the empress entertained all important people, and a moment later the brave Marquis Pei Tianbei also arrived.
He was not as polite as Lu Ning. After bowing to the empress, he bowed his hands to everyone and sat next to Lu Ning.
At the banquet.
The empress specially thanked the princesses and princes of the five countries. Although the five hundred thousand cavalry did not fight, they came to help from tens of thousands of miles away, which showed the sincerity of the five countries.
Taking this opportunity, Luo Yuena, Wan Qifeng and others expressed their willingness to form an alliance with the Zhou Dynasty and would never offend.
In fact, the five countries were afraid that the Zhou Dynasty would invade them, so they first opened their mouth to form an alliance with the Zhou Dynasty.
The empress readily agreed to this, because she had no intention of invading the Five Kingdoms.
Nowadays, the territory of the Zhou Dynasty, Jiuzhou, Xiliang and Beimang is already very vast.
If we attack the five countries in the Western Region, the territory will only become wider.
It is also not good to be too vast, out of reach and difficult to manage.
By forming an alliance, at least we don't have to worry about invasion by the countries in the Western Regions, and Xiliang can rest and recuperate.
late at night.
The old Taoist temple in the south of Beijing and Zhoucheng.
A figure swept into the mountain col like the wind, it was Lu Ning.
His current experience is enough for him to reach the mid-level second-grade cultivation level.
Therefore, Lu Ning chose to break through at the same place, in the dead of night, and no one would notice.
"Cultivation level, increase it!"
Buzz!
The heaven and earth shook, and in an instant, a thick spiritual mist appeared between the sky and the earth within a radius of three hundred miles. Fortunately, it was late at night, so no one noticed.
But the sword master Li Qingbai on the golden stage and Xu Feng, the supervisor at Tianxing Tower, noticed this scene.
They had seen this scene before on the surface of Taichu Jianmen Yulong Pond.
"Could it be him?"
Li Qingbai and Xu Feng both looked shocked. If this rich spiritual mist was used for breakthrough, it would be a bit scary.
After all, Lu Ning had just achieved a breakthrough in cultivation, how could it be possible so quickly?
"It must be some kind of practice." Li Qingbai murmured.
Supervisor Xu Feng also thinks so. After all, a person has just made a breakthrough in cultivation, how can he continue to make breakthroughs?
Only the Chilong demon soul in Lu Ning's jade belt knew that Lu Ning was making a breakthrough in cultivation, and he was already used to it.
Anyway, in his eyes, Lu Ning was a freak.
Two quarters of an hour later.
The thick spiritual mist disappeared within a radius of three hundred miles. Lu Ning slowly exhaled and found that a spiritual consciousness was observing him.
He immediately frowned slightly. At this moment, the people whose spiritual consciousness swept over him must be Sword Master and Jian Zheng.
Lu Ning pretended to breathe, but in fact he was secretly checking his own changes.
The changes in the blood include more golden light spots, the golden light is dazzling, the changes in the flesh have flashes of aura, and the changes in the fascia are tougher and unbreakable by swords.
Then came the changes in the bones, and the dark golden dragon aura became thicker.
In addition, there is Qi Hai Dantian, which changes in real power and exudes purple brilliance.
Not only that, Lu Ning felt that he could use the magical power "Vajra Buddha" without any obstacles.
Swordsmanship, knife skills, spear skills and other skills were quickly practiced in his mind.
The so-called Wanfa means that true power can perform all kinds of skills.
Even the magic of immortality, Buddhism, magic, etc. can be used in all realms.
But Lu Ning couldn't figure it out. That night on the first day of the new year, that sword was so sharp and crystal-clear that it almost killed him. What was the method?
"I don't know, kid, that's called the Sword Soul Realm."
Suddenly, a childish voice sounded in Lu Ning's ears, making him look stern.
This golden gourd was so elusive that he found it in his right ear with his spiritual consciousness, so he asked: "What does the realm of sword soul mean?"
"I'm so ignorant. It's also my fault that this human world is too backward. I will tell you something..."
"Swordsman monks are the strongest in the world, but they are also very difficult to practice."
"The realm of swordsmanship is divided into sword energy, sword power, sword intention, the unity of heaven and man, sword soul...I won't talk about the higher level. Even though you are in this backward human world, your strength is pretty good. , but your current realm of swordsmanship, that is, sword power, has not even reached the sword intention."
Hearing this, Lu Ning frowned: "Listening to your tone, is there a bigger world besides this world?"
Jin Hulu said: "Let's talk about this issue later. You have to learn to listen to the key points. You haven't even reached the sword intention now."
"If you are considering becoming a strong swordsman, your future cultivation should develop in the direction I just mentioned."
"Otherwise, after one year and three months, it will be difficult for you to win the first grade of junior high school!"
Lu Ning frowned: "Sword Qi, Sword Power, Sword Intention, Harmony between Heaven and Man, Sword Soul... So, any weapon training method is in this realm?"
Jin Hulu said: "Yes, they are all in this realm. Even if you practice boxing and palm skills, you are pursuing these realms."
"Cultivation is the realm of cultivation, but martial arts and immortal arts also have realm requirements. If they are not met, cultivation will stagnate after reaching a certain level."
"Of course, even if you make a breakthrough in your cultivation, you will still be much inferior to people in dual realms. Unless your cultivation far suppresses others, you will be the target of killing in the eyes of others."
"Practice the realm without practicing the martial arts, and you will be in vain until you grow old. Practice the martial arts without practicing the realm, and your intestines will regret it until you are young."
Lu Ning: "...!!"
Although he was speechless, he felt that Jin Gulu was right.
The Illustrated Book of Heaven's Punishment can improve his cultivation level, but it cannot improve his skill level.
After all, he didn't feel that he had achieved the unity of heaven and man, or even a fist soul or a divine soul with his previous perfect magical powers.
It seems that he has only cultivated his magical powers to a certain level of perfection, but has not made further breakthroughs in himself.
That level of consciousness needs to be understood by oneself, and the Heavenly Punishment Illustrated Book cannot help.
Lu Ning understood instantly.
The Catalog of Heaven's Punishment is not a panacea, there are some things that you still have to do yourself.
But once Jin Hulu said it, he finally knew where his shortcomings were, and he could make up for them next.
"How strong is my sword power now?" Lu Ning asked.
Jin Gourd said leisurely: "There is no specific classification of these realms. If we have to divide them, you are now in the late stage of sword power and will not reach the perfect state."
"Only after you have reached perfection can you realize the power of the sword."
"At that time, you will find that your fighting ability is ten times more terrifying than now."
Hearing this, Lu Ning's face was full of surprise, because he was already very terrifying, and at least half a level one could be killed by him at will.
If it were ten times more terrifying, even a first-grade expert would have the confidence to fight it!
After taking a deep breath, Lu Ning took a look at the catalog of Heavenly Punishment.
Cultivation: Second Grade Ten Thousand Methods (mid-term, 0/750 million)
Experience: 140.1 million points.
If you want to advance to the late stage of the second level, you still need 500 million experience points. According to the current speed of generating experience in the Tianpu Catalog, it will take more than a month.
After leaving the mountain col, Lu Ning returned to his house.
In the next few days, Lu Ning was either busy suppressing the Demon Division or counting the number of soldiers who died in the Zhuxian Battle. At the same time, he also had to accompany the princesses and princes of the five countries.
June 12th.
Luo Yuena, Wan Qifeng, Mo Heng, Qing Huoyang, and Prince Huo Tuo began their return journey. Before leaving, they said goodbye to the empress and Lu Ning.
"Brother Lu, we should always keep in touch."
Wan Qifeng hugged Lu Ning and said, he didn't call Lu Ning Shenwuhou, calling him brother seemed more cordial.
"no problem!"
Lu Ning smiled, then looked at Luo Yuena and the other four and said, "Four of you, take care on the road. If you have any questions in the future, please contact us by letter."
Luo Yuena smiled and nodded: "Marquis Shenwu, when will you go to the Sharo Kingdom as a guest?"
