Chen Nianyun no longer needs to eat. He also ate a lot of meat buns in the morning to satisfy his craving. However, Lin Xiaolu and Tangyuan were not polite. The two of them ate and drank like a dragon and a phoenix, and then listened to Chen Nianyun and Luo Rulie spoke.
"So, the person who hunts down the immortal cultivators is really an ordinary person?" Chen Nianyun asked at the table.
Lin Xiaolu was also a little surprised. He held the roast chicken while eating and asked, "Is that person very good at Kung Fu?"
Luo Rulie shook his head, and then told the three teenagers the reason for the incident.
"This man's name is Shan Yan, he is about thirty years old. He used to be the leading head catcher in the Jin Dynasty and was called the God catcher.
In terms of mortal martial arts, he does know a little bit, but not much. The main reason is that he has been a head hunter for a long time, has many weird methods, and is also very resourceful, so the head of the family has been unable to catch him. "
Chen Nianyun was confused: "The Luo Family Master has already established the foundation, why doesn't he use his spiritual sense to search?"
"I tried, but couldn't find it in the search." Luo Rulie said with a bitter smile: "Although this Danyan cannot cultivate immortality and his martial arts can only be said to be average, he has a very strong vigilance. He doesn't know what method he used. Can't even search.
And the head of the family cannot use his spiritual consciousness twelve hours a day, so he can only ask people from the yamen to help find it. "
Chen Nianyun was still a little puzzled when he heard this, and asked: "How does Shan Yan hunt down monks when he doesn't have martial arts like my brother Xiaolu and can't practice?"
Lin Xiaolu, who was letting Tangyuan feed him tofu soup, was also a little curious, and looked at the head of the Luo family with round eyes.
Looking at the three young men, Luo Rulie smiled bitterly and said, "The three immortals, my two nephews, my youngest son, and a housekeeper were all murdered.
I am ashamed to say that my two nephews were shot in the neck by him with a hidden arrow smeared with venom in the market, and were killed on the spot.
The housekeeper met him when he was buying vegetables at the market. He dressed up as a farmer selling vegetables and, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, stabbed my housekeeper Luo Shi in the back with a dagger eight times in broad daylight. The killing was witnessed by many people.
Finally, it was my youngest son. My youngest son was caught in a bear trap that he had arranged in advance, and then he blocked his sight with lime powder, and was finally hacked to death with a scythe. "
At this point, the middle-aged Luo Rulie gritted his teeth and said: "Three Immortals, this person's methods are vicious and inhumane. If we meet head-on, anyone in my Luo family can kill him on the spot, but he Those who specialize in such dirty tricks are really worse than pigs and dogs!"
Seeing the furious Luo Rulie, Lin Xiaolu was confused for a moment.
He thought of Tang Long.
I remember that when I first met Tang Long, someone also fired a secret arrow to attack Tang Long, but Tang Long directly caught the arrow.
How come the monks of the Luo family can't even guard against hidden arrows? Have you been pampered for a long time and lost your vigilance? Are you naturally disdainful of mortals?
At the dinner table, Chen Nianyun continued to ask: "Master Luo, does this Danyan specialize in killing the Luo family, does he have any grudges with the Luo family?"
"What kind of grudge can there be!"
Luo Rulie said angrily: "My Luo family has always had a high reputation in the Jin Kingdom. We are philanthropic and well-loved by the people. But now, four people have been killed in a row within a month. Three immortals, please make the decision for our Luo family." !”
At the dinner table, Lin Xiaolu's mouth was full and his face was dull. The glutinous rice balls were not much better. His cross-eyed eyes made everyone look stupid. Luo Rulie's words were obviously meant for the most normal Chen Nianyun.
Soon after several people had lunch, the head of the Luo family arranged a room for Lin Xiaolu and the others to rest.
It was noon, and Lin Xiaolu, who had nothing to do, ordered a bowl of iced mung bean porridge from the servants of the Luo family, and then went to Chen Nianyun's room while drinking.
"You idiot."
Lin Xiaolu broke into the room and happened to see Chen Nianyun meditating on the bed.
"Can you knock on the door?" Chen Nianyun said with deep pain in his head when he saw Lin Xiaolu.
"Oh, don't worry about these details. The key is our father-son relationship, oh no, it's brotherhood."
Lin Xiaolu had mung bean porridge in his mouth and said vaguely: "If you think our brotherhood for so many years is not comparable to a trivial matter like closing the door, then I'll leave?"
Chen Nianyun:......
He skipped the topic angrily and asked directly: "Why are you looking for me?"
"What do you want to do with this task?"
"Stay here first to protect the Luo family." Chen Nianyun said.
"No, no, no, I want to go out and look for it directly." Lin Xiaolu said: "I just returned to Emei, and I came here before my butt was even hot. I want to finish my work quickly and then go back to Emei and go to Spirit Beast Valley."
"How do you know how to play?" Chen Nianyun said helplessly: "We are on a mission this time. I must do it well and give an explanation to Master."
"Explain me."
Lin Xiaolu calmly sat next to him and said while eating: "That head of the Luo family must not be telling the truth, I can tell."
"How did you tell?" Chen Nianyun was stunned.
"Hehe~"
Lin Xiaolu tilted his lips and said with a smile: "Chen Er, let me ask you a question, which one do you think is smarter, a cultivator or a mortal?"
Chen Nianyun:......
He didn't know why Lin Xiaolu asked this.
On the bed, Lin Xiaolu said mysteriously: "I have been down the mountain for three years. I have met many people and some immortal cultivators, and then I came to a conclusion."
"What conclusion?"
"Slimy~" The young man took another sip of mung bean porridge, then smacked his lips and said, "Mortals are often smarter than immortal cultivators at the same age."
"How is that possible!" Chen Nianyun looked unbelieving.
"Look, your current thinking is also limited by the environment."
Lin Xiaolu explained with a smile: "Let me ask you, now the idea that cultivators are superior has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and many people will start practicing day and night after becoming cultivators, even if they are not the kind of good cultivators who look down on mortals Even if you are a person, you will subconsciously feel that you are better than ordinary people, right?"
Chen Nianyun was stunned and nodded hesitantly.
What Lin Xiaolu said makes sense. Even now, he subconsciously feels that mortals are weak. Although he will not look down on them, he does have a sense of superiority when facing mortals. This has nothing to do with character and is caused by environment and cognition. of.
When Lin Xiaolu saw that he was starting to think, he showed a teachable expression and continued to smile:
"Mortals are different from immortal cultivators. Mortals cannot practice, so they will naturally not devote all their time to practice. They will interact with various people for various reasons in their lives, so over time they will become more mature than those of the same age. Duan’s cultivators are smarter, more tactful, and more understanding of the ways of the world.”
In the room, Lin Xiaolu kept talking: "After a cultivator reaches a certain level of cultivation, he can indeed disdain the world, like my boss, the head of the sect, and a Buddhist master and a demonic master I know. , they can live however they want, and any talk of tact, wit, and sophistication are all nonsense in the face of absolute strength.
But if many cultivators who are not yet high enough in cultivation have the same mentality as them, they will be doomed.
Just like this time, a captor used various means to kill four immortal cultivators, but there was nothing that could be done. It was really sad and deplorable.
So this is one of the shortcomings of immortal cultivators today. Since childhood, immortal cultivators have discovered that most mortals are afraid of themselves and revere themselves. Gradually, they will take it for granted, feel that mortals must be inferior to themselves, and feel that they are as stupid as pigs. But they I got one thing wrong - being weak does not mean being stupid! "
After finishing speaking, Lin Xiaolu looked at the silly Chen Nianyun and asked with a smile:
"Think about it, isn't this the case between you and Tangyuan? You focus on cultivation, Tangyuan focuses on alchemy, both of them are too simple-minded, but I am different. I am polite and witty. I can see that at a glance. The head of the Luo family didn’t tell the truth.”
Chen Nianyun was completely confused by what he heard. He didn't know how to refute even if he wanted to refute it. He could only ask blankly: "You mean, there is another hidden reason behind the death of the Luo family?"
"Sure!"
Lin Xiaolu said quickly:
"There is something wrong with the Luo family leader. I feel that his reaction at the dinner table was a bit excessive. His family members were killed and he shouldn't have reacted like that. Ninety-nine percent of the time, he didn't tell the truth. He probably thought that it would be better for us because we were young and were born in Emei. You lied, so you are using us as swordsmen!"
After saying that, Lin Xiaolu slowly scooped up a spoonful of mung bean porridge with a spoon, handed it to Chen Nianyun who was shocked, and said with a sweet smile:
"Come, have a sip of mung bean porridge, it's so sweet."
