"In the final analysis, cooking skills are only to fill people's stomachs. Food is the most important thing for the people. No matter whether they are ordinary people or emperors and saints, they cannot survive without food." Lu Zhengliang murmured to himself, his eyes were extremely deep, as if Entered into some kind of epiphany.
Lu Zhengliang suddenly laughed and said: "So that's it! I was wrong. The way of cooking is the way of humanity, not the way of heaven. All edible things in the world can be used by me. Skills and emotions give food a different taste."
"If Heaven were a human being, we would also need food! If it were the Dao of Heaven, everything in the world would be transformed by the Dao, and everything would be edible. My existence would be to use the Dao of the Kitchen to transform all things into food for the Dao of Heaven, and blend the flavors of all living beings to offer sacrifices to the Dao of Heaven!" Lu Zhengliang The golden light on his body was generous, but the golden light was mixed with black energy. His expression looked crazy and his state was very wrong.
Er Zhuang frowned. Lu Zhengliang was obviously comprehending the way of heaven at this moment, but something seemed to have gone wrong, and there were signs of going crazy.
He suddenly thought of Lu Zhengliang's words and immediately shouted loudly: "Master, the way of cooking is the way of humanity!"
Lu Zhengliang, who was originally crazy, calmed down after hearing this, and even the golden light on his body dimmed.
"Yes, the way of cooking is the way of humanity, and the way of heaven is merciless. How can I be a puppet of the way of heaven, transforming the way into a Tao, and transforming the power of the way for my own use? Since I use the way of cooking to transform the way of heaven, serving the way of heaven is no different from falling into the way of devil. The way of cooking As a human being, I will transform the way of heaven to benefit all living beings, and that will be the right way!" Lu Zhengliang's eyes lit up, and the golden light on his body shone brightly again. This time, there was no black energy, and he looked extremely holy.
"Grandpa Lu has become an immortal!" Xue Ningguan exclaimed with his eyes widened, and Zhou Lin also babbling excitedly.
Erzhuang hurriedly made a silencing gesture towards the two children. He lowered his voice and said, "Quiet, don't make any sound!"
Xue Ning said "Oh", a little unhappy, but he still quieted down, and Zhou Lin also followed suit and closed his mouth.
What surprised Er Zhuang was that the golden light on Lu Zhengliang's body quickly dissipated, and he smiled calmly: "Er Zhuang, it doesn't matter."
"Master, is it done?" Er Zhuang asked anxiously. He naturally knew what Lu Zhengliang was doing just now.
Lu Zhengliang shook his head and said, "I haven't really taken that step yet."
"Did it fail?" Er Zhuang's face darkened.
"Transformation is not that fast. In fact, I have already touched the threshold, but I just stepped back." Lu Zhengliang said with a smile.
"Shouldn't such an important breakthrough be done in one go?" Erzhuang asked doubtfully.
Lu Zhengliang suddenly appeared next to Xue Ningguan. He injected gentle internal force into the acupuncture points of Xue Ningguan and Zhou Lin. The two children immediately fell asleep. He put the two children on the bed one by one with each hand.
When Er Zhuang saw Lu Zhengliang suddenly taking action against the two children, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, but his expression soon became serious. He already realized that what Lu Zhengliang was going to say next would be very important.
After calming the two children down, Lu Zhengliang once again used his aura to isolate the sound and then said, "My silly disciple, the scene of transforming into a saint is too eye-catching. If you are a master who transforms into a Tao in Ningguan City, you will be waiting for me as a master." After your identity is exposed, it will bring big trouble to you and Ningguancheng!"
Er Zhuang narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this and said, "Master, are you talking about Bei Chu?"
"Of course, don't forget that not only the two princes are eager to avenge their father, but Chu Youshe is also eager to eradicate the roots immediately. Although we and Beichu have the same origin, we have a life-or-death relationship. If my teacher is not wrong, your kid persuades me Xue Kai planned to act as an internal agent when he turned to Beichu." Lu Zhengliang said seriously.
Erzhuang was startled at first and then smiled shyly: "As expected, Master understands me. I do have this intention, but with Sister-in-law Feidie here, I am afraid that my role as a liaison will not be of much use."
"That's not true! Don't underestimate Xue Kai. Although Xue Ding is not a famous general, he still has the demeanor of a general. Under Xue Ding's deliberate training, Xue Kai is not mediocre in terms of ability or character. It's just that Fei Die is not enough. To completely influence his decision, if that day comes, you will be the key to persuading Xue Kai!"
Erzhuang hesitated and said: "I...how am I that important?"
"Don't belittle yourself. Although you haven't studied martial arts with my master for a long time, and your martial arts talent is not top-notch, you have a calm mind, and you have studied military tactics with Zheping for so long. Your ability is definitely not inferior to Xue Kai's!"
"Besides, do you think that Xue Ding will not be aware of the forces behind you? Don't underestimate any general guarding one side. I guess that Xue Ding chooses you to assist Xue Kai to win over the forces behind you. That is, I wonder if Xue Ding can guess that Jin An is behind you."
Lu Zhengliang's words reminded Er Zhuang of the scenes he spent with Xue Ding. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Xue Ding was indeed aware of it.
"Since the Crown Prince asked you to stay, you can serve Ningguancheng with peace of mind. Just remember that your roots are in Jin'an!" Lu Zhengliang said with a gentle smile.
"Master, where are you going?" Er Zhuang heard the parting meaning in Lu Zhengliang's tone and asked anxiously.
"My master will go to Yingzhou to find a place to break through. Then it's time to go back. Bo Ping will take action against Beichu soon. After my master's breakthrough, it will be considered as adding another strength to Jin'an."
"Is Jin'an going to send troops to Beichu so soon?" Er Zhuang was shocked.
"We have been preparing for more than ten years, and now it is time to pay with blood." Lu Zhengliang said with a solemn expression and a cold tone.
Lu Zhengliang smiled bitterly, calmed down and said, "Master, I'm a little excited. Erzhuang, don't worry about it so much. Just stay in Ningguan City and do your own thing. Miss Le'er will contact you if there is any need."
Erzhuang nodded solemnly and said: "Disciple will do his best!"
Lu Zhengliang smiled helplessly and said: "It's time to leave as a teacher. At this time, it is really difficult to suppress the realm. I will leave these two little kids to you. I really can't bear to leave these two little guys."
As soon as he finished speaking, before Er Zhuang could speak, Lu Zhengliang hurriedly walked towards the door, and the aura of isolating the sound was easily removed by him.
Er Zhuang hurriedly chased outside, but he found no trace of Lu Zhengliang.
In fact, when Lu Zhengliang walked into the courtyard, he flew away from Ningguan City at an extremely fast speed. The speed was so fast that it was difficult to catch it with the naked eye, so it did not cause any commotion.
After searching everywhere to no avail, Erzhuang could only stand in the courtyard and muttered to himself: "Master, take care!"
Although Lu Zhengliang has not yet completely transformed into Taoism, he has mastered the ability to fly. He was very fast and flew to a large mountain in the north of Yingzhou in an extremely short time.
This mountain is called Fenghua Mountain. It is located in Yuhua County, not far from Cang County where Chu Zhongan visited when he was investigating Xianlingxiang. This mountain is not very majestic, but the vegetation on it is very tall and dense. It is also a place where wild beasts gather and is not suitable for people to live. Therefore, the population here is relatively sparse, and only some bold hunters haunt the mountains.
Lu Zhengliang landed in the mountain forest. He finally could no longer control the breakthrough of the realm, and the bright golden light exploded on his body again.
The birds and beasts in the mountain forest were frightened by this terrifying momentum and fled in all directions. At this time, the hunters in the forest also ran away. As long as a hunter with some experience can guess that something big will happen here, a big thing also means that something big will happen. very dangerous.
As Lu Zhengliang was completely enveloped by the golden light, the aura erupting from his body began to increase steadily.
This is a leap in the level of life. Naturally, it cannot be completed immediately. This process has continued for a long time.
Naturally, many people came to check out such a big movement. There were officials from the imperial court and spies from various forces. The pressure of Hua Dao was too terrifying. Most of these people could only watch from a distance and could not get close to Lu. Zhengliang.
There is one exception among these people, that is a sturdy old man in cloth clothes, with gray beard and hair, carrying a simple bow and arrow on his back, looking like an old hunter.
At this time, most of the hunters who were around were spies. Only a group of guys wearing government officials' clothes were alert to the surrounding movements. These people sent by the court were really not good enough to deal with those extraordinary spies, so they knew that there was something wrong with these hunters, but they still didn't do anything. Dare to take action.
The old man's location was closest to the place where Lu Zhengliang attained enlightenment. He stood on the treetops and stared closely at the golden light emitted by Lu Zhengliang. He murmured to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "This should be the way of transformation! Ying What's going on in this state? Why do people become saints one after another? We must not let this person succeed in becoming a Taoist again, otherwise we, Northern Chu, will be in danger with Han Linfu's ambition!"
This old man is actually a secret agent of the Northern Chu Dynasty. His aura is restrained, and ordinary people cannot detect that he is a master.
The old man moved towards Lu Zhengliang again with firm eyes, but he could no longer move forward when he was ten feet away from Lu Zhengliang.
"Damn it, just the pressure when transforming into a Tao is so powerful. If this person really becomes a saint, I will have no chance of success." The old man's face was full of anxiety.
"I don't believe that there is no chance of becoming a Taoist!" The old man said coldly to himself, then he said nothing and quietly waited for the opportunity.
Soon after, Lu Zhengliang's momentum reached its peak, and the golden light emanating from him began to dissipate.
The Beichu secret agent noticed that the pressure suddenly decreased, and he rushed towards Lu Zhengliang with a look of despair.
A beam of light descended from the sky and enveloped him. The sound of congratulations from heaven and earth resounded for dozens of miles around. The nearby government officials and spies soon noticed the beam of light and the sound.
"I seem to have heard of this somewhere." A young government official said with a frown.
"You don't even know this. The Painting Saint had this kind of light pillar and congratulatory sound when he transformed into Taoism. This is another saint born!" Another older government official said excitedly.
"Say it as if you have seen it and heard it before..." the young yamen servant said in a disdainful tone, but his expression when looking at the golden beam of light was one of incomparable awe.
The golden light dissipated and before the light beam fell, the old man in cloth said with a ferocious smile: "Now! There can be no more saints in Xinhan, go to hell!" As he said this, he quickly took off the bow and arrow from his back and shot out several arrows in succession. The seemingly tattered bow and arrow are actually extraordinary, and this humble old man is actually a master!
Northern Chu actually sent a master spy to Yingzhou, which showed that Chu Youshe did have plans for Xinhan.
At the critical moment, Lu Zhengliang did not open his eyes, but slowly clapped his palm.
