"There are too many people here, let's move to another place!"
Glancing around, Wu Daozi nodded. He also knew that this was not the place to talk. More and more people were gathering. It might not be a good thing for more people to know about some things.
In the main hall, Wu Daozi sat on the right side of the main seat. Lu Tianxu was also invited to the upper seat by him, the anger on his face still not dissipated.
"What's going on? You are also the great elder of Lu's West Mansion after all. I haven't seen you for a few years, but you are no longer a human being or a ghost!"
Hearing this, Lu Tianxu sighed and pointed at the people below, "We people died in an unknown way. A few of them didn't even know that they were dead. We just told them not long ago!"
Wu Daozi frowned, "Is there such a thing?"
Lu Tianxu nodded, "You have been dealing with strange ghosts all year round, but have you ever seen such a weird scene?" Lu Tianxu asked in return.
"That's right, if my second brother hadn't spoken, I wouldn't have known that I would have died long ago. This body is no different from a normal living person. I can eat, drink, talk, and even practice. Damn it!"
The fourth child had a gloomy look on his face, and when he talked about seeing ghosts, his expression became even weirder. Their current state was exactly as Wu Daozi said, humans are not humans, and ghosts are not ghosts.
After saying that, he signaled Lao Wu to stand up. When he lifted his robe, a transparent hole appeared on the front and back. Even Wu Daozi, who had been dealing with ghosts and ghosts all year round, couldn't help but take a breath.
Throughout his life, he has been exorcising demons and dealing with all kinds of ghosts and monsters, and his knowledge is considered extraordinary. However, it was the first time that he could still act like a normal person without a belly.
Wu Daozi had a strange look on his face after listening to Lu Tianxu's explanation. He studied Taoism, but all methods are inseparable from their essence. He either taps his own potential or uses the power of heaven and earth for his own use. He is involved in all kinds of methods. What Lu Tianxu said was something he had never heard of.
Looking around at the people in the hall, after pondering for a long time, Wu Daozi finally shook his head, "Old guy, I..."
Wu Daozi hesitated to speak. He and Lu Tianxu had an irreversible relationship. They had experienced life and death together, but when they met today, they were separated by yin and yang.
Lu Tianxu raised his hand, "Niubi, don't be sad, everything has its own destiny. This day is not unfair. At least, after I die, I can still see you, Niubi's master!"
"But the teleportation array was forcibly terminated just now..." Wu Daozi looked guilty. As one of the owners of this city, he naturally knew the consequences of forcibly terminating the teleportation array. The damage caused to ghostly things will be irreversible.
"It doesn't matter, those who have already fallen, not to mention, they are already here!" Lu Tianxu sighed and glanced at the remaining old men. Everyone seemed to feel something and looked up at the sky outside the hall.
"Okay, I won't bother you, you old-fashioned guy. Just say goodbye!" Lu Tianxu walked to the door of the main hall, clasped his fists at Wu Daozi and said goodbye.
Seeing Lu Tianxu leaving in a hurry, Wu Daozi also knew that the few of them had last important things to complete. He sighed and followed the others to the teleportation formation.
"Niubi, go back!" Lu Tianxu smiled helplessly.
"You old man, you can't treat me like an old man to send you off!" After saying that, he looked at Lu Chen and others, "If nothing happens, you can come to Haoyu City and forcefully terminate the teleportation array. The injuries they have suffered are irreversible. You three I’m still somewhat sure of making up for it!”
"Niubi, you still have such a method?" Lu Tianxu looked weird, "Don't fool this junior, otherwise, you know my temper, and I won't let you go even if you are a ghost!"
"Humph, even if you are a ghost, I won't let you go. That's just right. Let's have a drink together!" Wu Daozi said with a smile.
"Haha, let's go!" Lu Tianxu laughed, and gradually disappeared into the teleportation array with everyone.
Lu Chen's heart felt sour. The moment the teleportation array was activated, whether it was Wu Daozi or Lu Tianxu, he saw a layer of mist in their eyes.
As a strong person in the Lingzong realm, his character is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary people. He still shed tears when the two said goodbye. He knew that the friendship between the two in the past years would not be as casual as Wu Daozi said.
"Grandpa Lu doesn't want to see Wu Daozi, he just can't bear to see him, and he also doesn't dare to see him!" Lu Chen whispered, looking at the figure standing in front of him.
Seeing Tianxu and others disappear in the teleportation formation, Wu Daozi turned around and said, "Come on
People, pass the order and send people to Ba City. Remember, you are not allowed to enter the city. Station outside the city and send back everything you see to me! "
"Here!"
"In addition, inform several other city lords to go to the canyon with Lao Dao to have a look!"
When the teleportation array was activated, Lu Chen felt a faint dizziness in his head. He shook his head and calmed down.
Seeing this, Lu Tianxu smiled and said, "Little guy, there will be temporary discomfort when the teleportation array is farther away. Spirit King Realm monks rarely pass through the long-distance teleportation array!"
"I feel dizzy, but what about those ordinary businessmen?" Lu Chen asked.
"Boy, you have already said that they are businessmen. Some businessmen with means have more treasures in their hands than I do. Do you think they will have nothing good to stop this short-term dizziness?"
"That's right!" Lu Chen smiled and looked around. An invisible and intangible boundary wall was looming. Outside the boundary wall, strong winds were raging, thunder exploded, and even more thunderous sounds reached his ears.
All this is a long story, but it only happened in an instant in the teleportation channel. Within a few breaths, Lu Chen and others had already appeared in another city.
After turning the teleportation array once, Lu Chen and others appeared in the ruins.
Many buildings in the ruins have been occupied by various traders and converted into shops and restaurants, giving it the appearance of a small town.
"Is this a one-way teleportation array?" Lu Chen couldn't help but ask, and Lu Yuheng nodded.
"Because it is a one-way teleportation array, it has not been occupied by big forces, and only some merchants are doing small business based on it!"
Another half day passed before Lu Chen and others finally appeared outside a group of peaks. Looking at the Twin Cities below, Lu Chen clenched his fists.
That was the place that the Gucheng tribe had always wanted to go back to. He didn't know if it was his grandfather's generation or his own lineage that appeared in Gucheng many years ago.
But he knew that his lineage really wanted to return to the clan and be recognized by the clan. Unfortunately, until all the clan members sacrificed, they still didn't know why their lineage appeared in the isolated city.
The Lu family in Gucheng was not expelled from the Lu family, but was the pioneer of the entire Lu family and withstood the entire Lu family.
"Perhaps, there were many such people living in Gucheng before Grandpa!" Lu Chen whispered in his heart.
"People of the Lu family in Gucheng, have you seen this? The Lu family is down below. You can go home!" Lu Chen roared.
Lu Tianxu patted Lu Chen's shoulder, "The Lu family is always indebted to the Gucheng lineage. This is the case with your lineage, and the same is true with the old guy's previous generation, the Gucheng lineage!"
When Lu Chen heard this, his figure trembled, and his heart palpitated more. For that teleportation array, the entire Lu family paid not only financial resources, but also the lives of generations of clan members. Read the book
He knew what Lu Tianxu meant by the previous generation. It was not his grandfather's generation, but a whole branch, just like his current lineage.
The so-called previous generation means that after all the sacrifices of an entire branch were completed, my ancestors went to the isolated city in the name of being expelled from the clan.
"Those who go to Gucheng are all the heroes of the Lu family. It's not just your grandfather's generation who only appeared in Gucheng. In fact, there were disciples of your lineage who went there earlier. This has always been the case in the past. It is necessary Adapting to Gucheng in advance can be regarded as a kind of handover, but it's a pity that something unexpected happened in your generation!" Lu Tianxu patted Lu Chen on the shoulder and said.
In the past, the altar never appeared. This was the first time, and it was also the first time that the Lu family in the isolated city had a fault. In the past, even if they changed their names, they would still walk in the isolated city and pass away quietly.
"Go, Yuheng will help you adapt to the life of the clan. Remember, go back to Haoyu City when you have time!"
"Uncle, aren't you going back? You haven't returned to the clan for many years!" Lu Yuheng asked hurriedly.
Lu Tianxu shook his head and looked at the sky. The black shadows became thicker and thicker. "It's too late, it's time to go!"
The black shadow was very strange. Luo Ji had never spoken a word since he followed Lu Chen. His brows were furrowed. He did not see the so-called black shadow.
"We're not going either, it's embarrassing
Ah, I'm sorry, ancestor! "The remaining elders also whispered in a lonely tone.
"It's just at the bottom of the mountain, go back and have a look!" Lu Chen advised.
"I won't go. I don't know the cause and effect. I won't bring trouble to the clan!"
The two tried to persuade each other, but the old men were very stubborn and did not take a step forward. "Go ahead. Remember, go to Haoyu City when you have time. Don't worry, Mr. Wu, he will try his best to help you!"
"Uncle..." Lu Yuheng's voice was choked, and he knelt down in front of Lu Tianxu, lowering his head and leaning on Lu Tianxu's thigh.
"You have grown up and no longer need my uncle's protection. Remember, as long as you are by Lu Chen's side, you must protect him, even if it costs you your life!" Lu Tianxu said in a firm voice, "Don't let your uncle die in peace. !」
When the stunned Lu Yuheng heard this, his body trembled. This was no longer a simple request for his protection, this was asking him to actually protect him with his own life.
"Uncle..." Lu Yuheng choked up, not because of Lu Tianxu's humble request, nor because of Lu Tianxu's threat, but because of the pain buried deep in his heart, the figure that protected him for a long time when he was a child. After today will no longer be visible.
"Fellow Daoist Luo Ji, I leave this boy to you. His path is related to the future of the Lu family, and the Lu family is deeply involved. I can't say much, but I hope you can do your best!" Lu Tianxu clasped his fists and looked at Luo Ji. .
"Great Elder, you don't have to be like this. I have already made an oath to do my best!" Luo Ji also clasped his fists, his brows still furrowed.
"What do you not understand about Fellow Taoist Luo Ji? If it involves the secrets of the Lu family, I cannot tell you clearly. I hope Fellow Daoist Luo will forgive me!"
Luo Ji shook his head, and squeezed Lu Tianxu's arm with both hands very abruptly, "You are of flesh and blood, are you really dead?"
Several people were standing on the mountain peak. Luo Ji finished his words and stared at them closely.
"Uh..." Several old men were speechless. Even Lu Chen had some confusion. Was this guy frowning all the way?
"This..." Lu Tianxu was a little speechless. After a moment, he smiled helplessly, "He is indeed dead!"
"***..." Luo Ji couldn't help but cursed, "This is the first time in a long time that I have encountered such a dead person!"
Luo Ji was very stimulated. He had been holding it in because of someone else. Now that it was confirmed by Lu Tianxu himself again, he was a little incoherent.
"Lost, lost!" Luo Ji came to his senses and apologized hastily. He really couldn't believe that Lu Tianxu had been dead for many days before him, so he couldn't help but pinch him.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, let alone you, these old guys probably can't accept it in their hearts right now!"
"Hey, death isn't scary. What's scary is that it's unclear. You don't even know when you died!" The second child sighed.
"Let's go, it's time for us to hit the road!" Lu Tianxu waved his hand, signaling Lu Chen and others to leave quickly to avoid unnecessary involvement.
"Uncle..." Lu Tianxu helped Lu Yuheng, who was still choking, "Remember what uncle said, Lu Chen is the Lu family's only hope. It's really not easy to escape the sacrifice!"
Lu Tianxu warned Lu Yuheng again, telling him to convey the importance of Lu Chen to the clan leader, "He should have already sensed it, otherwise, he wouldn't have sent you all the way!"
Looking at the increasingly dense black shadow, Lu Tianxu waved his hand and used his spiritual skills to directly shoot Lu Chen, Lu Yuheng and Luo Ji out, "Fellow Daoist Luo, please, in the future, if you want to go further, he may give you a What an incredible opportunity!"
A faint voice floated from the front. Luo Ji clasped his fists and looked at Lu Tianxu and others who were gradually becoming illusive. He bent down and made a bow, "Fellow Taoists, go well!"
He couldn't see any difference. In front of him, except for Lu Tianxu and others who were gradually becoming illusory, there was nothing unusual. But in the eyes of Lu Chen and Lu Yuheng, it was different. Black coffins appeared from the void and flew towards Lu Tianxu and others. After leaving, after the black coffin, Lu Tianxu and others were no longer there.
"Uncle..." Luo Yuheng cried out sadly as he watched Lu Tianxu and others being taken away by the black coffin, and knelt on the ground.
Lu Chen waved his hand and cleared a clearing on the mountain peak. He carried the gravel and erected a grave. He waved his long sword and a tombstone stood in front of the grave. The tip of his pen had just fallen.
He found that except for Lu Tianxu, he did not know the names of the remaining elders. He looked at Lu Yuheng, who also shook his head.
The tombs of the elders of the Lu family’s West Mansion!
Lu Chen put away his pen and ink, his fingers slipped on the tombstone, and a few words appeared on the tombstone.
The incense burner and tributes were all placed. Lu Chen took out a few sticks of incense and gave them to Lu Yuheng. The two were about to kneel down to the empty tomb when Luo Ji stepped forward and stood side by side with the two of them, holding three sticks of incense in his hands. , the incense flickers on and off.
"Thank you!" Lu Chen whispered.
Luo Ji had only met Lu Tianxu and others once, but after all, it could be said that there was still some hatred between the two. He was able to offer incense to Lu Tianxu, which was somewhat beyond Lu Chen's expectation.
"The deceased has passed away. Besides, there is no enmity between us. He already said that you will bring me a great opportunity. I have to do my best. After all, I am a junior after all!"
In front of the empty tomb, tributes and other items were all available. Lu Chen even took out a lot of paper money and burned it under the surprised eyes of Lu Yuheng and Luo Ji.
The three of them saluted again, then stood up and looked at the city in the distance.
"Let's go!" Lu Chen should go first.
Along the way, Lu Yuheng looked back from time to time, which was the direction of the empty tomb, "Lu Chen, why do you still carry paper money with you?"
Not only Lu Yuheng, but Luo Ji also had a weird look on his face when he heard this. It was outrageous for him to carry incense, not to mention that the incense he prepared was intended to be used for timekeeping. This was the first time he encountered someone carrying paper money.
Everyone knows the meaning of paper money. It is money spent on dead people. If anyone has nothing to do with that thing, isn't it a clear curse on themselves?
"This..." Lu Chen was speechless, "I prepared it for myself!" Lu Chen opened his mouth and walked quickly towards the Twin Cities.
When Lu Yuheng and Luo Ji heard this, they looked at each other without saying a word and hurriedly followed.
There are thousands of feet of open space on the plain outside the Twin Cities. Three figures galloped down from the mountain peaks. After a while, they entered the official road and gathered with the pedestrians coming and going.
In the distance, two majestic giant cities stood far apart. A desolate atmosphere hit their faces, and there was a looming panic and coercion.
Only cultivators can feel the panic and coercion. Ordinary people don't seem to have any other feelings except that the two giant cities are towering enough and shocking.
Among many cities, the Twin Cities are relatively special. They are said to be twin cities, but they are also like mother cities, one big and one small. Even the smaller city is not comparable to the Overlord City.
It is rare for any city layout, especially a city like the Imperial Capital, to have a layout like a mother-child city.
Between the two cities, a river tens of feet long flowed slowly. Lu Chen guessed that this place was originally a city, because the open river divided the huge city into two.
"You, the Lu family, are quite domineering. You are occupying a city right next to the imperial city. Do you think you are touching the tiger's butt every day?" Luo Ji looked at the Twin Cities and sighed.
He is relatively familiar with the Tianluo Twin Cities and has been here several times.
The smaller city has always been controlled by the Lu clan, and even the Tianluo Imperial family has no right to interfere. Of course, many ordinary affairs are still under the control of the Tianluo imperial family.
No matter what, this city still belongs to the Tianluo Empire.
When Lu Yuheng heard this, a hint of pride flashed across his sad face, "That was all the Tianluo Empire's own decision. It is rumored that the Tianluo Imperial City was originally a huge city. In addition to the imperial city where the powerful royal family lived, there were also people who had been cultivating the city for many years. The Lu family!"
After listening to Luo Yuheng's explanation of the origin of the Twin Cities, Lu Chen was also amazed. He had never thought that the Lu family would have such great influence in the Tianluo Empire, just like he had in the Great Luo Empire.
"As Fellow Daoist Luo said, the Tianluo Empire has indeed been on guard against the Lu clan. That's why they built a big river between the two at all costs and built a solid city wall. On the side of the city wall controlled by the Tianluo Empire, there are various mechanisms, The city defense equipment is densely covered, but on the Lu family's side, except for the patrol regiment sent by the royal family, there is no equipment at all!"
"The royal family is a little too worried. Because of the teleportation formation on the altar, the Lu family has no intention of fighting for the Tianluo Empire!" Lu Chen smiled bitterly.
"How can we allow others to sleep soundly in front of the tiger's bed?" Luo Ji said with a smile.
Lu Chen nodded, "It seems that the life of the clan is not as good as imagined!"
Lu Yuheng nodded, "The Tianluo royal family knows that the clan has no interest in the country, and also knows the responsibilities that the clan shoulders. Furthermore, although the clan has declined, the number of masters still makes the Tianluo royal family extremely jealous. It is precisely because of this that the clan has also been regarded as Calm, but with the new crown prince taking the throne, I'm afraid..." A trace of solemnity flashed in Lu Yuheng's eyes.
"The new crown prince succeeds to the throne?" Lu Chen also frowned.
In the past, he rarely paid attention to the affairs of the Tianluo royal family. The reason why he knew that the new crown prince was about to succeed was because the Tianluo Empire secretly supported the Daluo Dynasty and the surrounding empires to use troops against it. Judging from the news he received, all this was caused by this man. The prince who is about to succeed is secretly adding fuel to the flames.
"It seems that we have to meet the prince again this time!" Lu Chen whispered.
"You kid, please don't act recklessly. When the prince succeeds to the throne, he doesn't dare to use troops against the clan. But if there is any change in the clan and he is allowed to take advantage of it, it will be difficult!" Lu Yuheng warned Lu Chen hurriedly.
Lu Chen just nodded when he heard this, and a stern look flashed in his eyes, "Huh, a war broke out in the Daluo Dynasty, with countless casualties, and this prince was secretly supporting it. I'm afraid things won't be good between me and him!"
"But..." Lu Yuheng was about to speak, but was stopped by Lu Chen, "In the past, the Tianluo Empire did not dare to be an enemy of the Lu family because it was afraid of the clan's top combat power. But now, the Tianluo royal family has Daxia behind it. It’s time for the Dynasty to take action!”
"What?" Lu Yuheng exclaimed, "How did you know?"
Lu Chen smiled and said nothing, staring at the huge city in the distance, "It's always so peaceful before the storm comes!"
"Don't be too pretentious. How do you know this? Only the top brass of the Lu family know about these things. You have been living in the Daluo Dynasty and should not have access to them!"
Luo Ji also looked surprised when he heard this. The stronger he is, the more people he comes into contact with. Although he has never come into contact with the Great Xia Dynasty, he can get a glimpse of it from many unique classics. He probably wants to join them. All are difficult.
With such a force, the twenty-something young people in front of me have already been in contact with him? This frightened him.
"Actually, it's nothing. I almost killed all the envoys sent by the Tianluo Empire to the Daluo Dynasty, and one of them was a disciple of the Daxia Dynasty!"
"Hiss..." Even Luo Ji gasped, and Luo Yuheng's expression suddenly changed, and he pulled Lu Chen up to leave.
"You are my uncle after all, why are you so cowardly?" Lu Chen said with a smile.
"Go away, I don't want to die so early!" Lu Yuheng really wanted to die, "It doesn't matter what, he is really my uncle!"
Lu Chen was speechless, and then he remembered the words Lu Tianxu left before he left. Lu Yuheng was afraid that he would be hunted down by the royal family when he entered the imperial city, so he could only fight to the death.
With his strength, it is impossible to compete with the entire royal family.
"Hurry up and leave!" Lu Yuheng glared at Lu Chen and almost slapped him in the face. He was extremely anxious, but the boy in front of him was nice, with a playful smile and no fear.
"You really don't know the background of the royal family. Do you think you can be the king and hegemon in the Daluo royal family and still do the same in the Tianluo imperial capital?" Lu Yuheng scolded directly.
"Little friend Lu, this is not the time to be impulsive. If something bad happens, I won't be able to protect you even if I try my best!" Luo Ji also hurriedly advised.
