It was getting dark, and dinner was almost the same as lunch. It was still cooked by Lu Huaiyang. .
After the meal, a tent was set up in the yard, with two camp beds and gas lamps set up inside.
"Jin Yiwei's house really has everything..." Shangluo just watched Lu Huaiyang take out a lot of things from the house and set up a tent like this like magic.
In fact, there is a guest room in the house, but there is only one guest room, but there are two people staying here today. Because Wen Yuan didn't want to sleep on the sofa, Lu Huaiyang took out the regular marching tent at home. The tent poles were all stretched out. Shangluo thought it would be safer to find someone to stay next to him, so he moved in too. Just think of it as camping.
As for pajamas, a change of clothes, toothpaste and toothbrushes, because the Confucius Temple is next door, you can buy them within two steps of going out, so it's not a big problem. Living in the city is convenient.
After showering one by one in the bathroom of Lu Huaiyang's house, Shangluo returned to the tent with his hair loose. Wen Yuan, who was in the next bed, was leaning on the bed reading a book, and his hair had just been washed.
"Eh? Why don't you have hair?" Wen Yuan had been wearing a hat all day long before, so he hadn't noticed Wen Yuan's hairstyle. Now he just discovered that Wen Yuan actually has short hair.
"After all, I am also preparing to be a royal guard. I don't need to grow my hair."
"Ah...it's so nice not to have to grow hair. It's hard to take care of your hair when it's long. You have to comb it together every morning."
"It's a pity that Lu Yue hasn't come back yet, otherwise you can ask her to teach you."
"Lu Yue? Who is that?"
"Lu Liang's sister is still in junior high school. They are about to graduate from junior high school and are on a graduation trip. My master has not let her practice martial arts since she was a child. It's great... If she doesn't practice martial arts, she will have fewer and more worries in life. A lot of freedom.”
Suddenly, he put down the book: "Speaking of this, I think you may be worried. But don't worry, I didn't reveal your secret."
"What do you mean?"
"Qi Ling. I didn't tell my master about this either. After much deliberation, I think it's best for you not to tell anyone else. As for me, you can rest assured. Has my master mentioned it to you? Our family We are the royal guards for generations, and the confidentiality regulations have been memorized since childhood. In addition, those of us Qi practitioners who practice the Thunder Method must behave properly and sit upright. This is our Taoist heart. If we violate the Taoist heart, the Emperor will not You...well, I'm already unlucky enough. If you see me being unlucky twice as much, it probably means I've done something bad."
"Then forget it. If you are as unlucky as this, if you double up, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you anymore..."
Wen Yuan laughed helplessly: "That's true. If I were to have another super double in my situation, I'm afraid I would be dead. Alas, the road to immortality is really ruthless."
"What is Lu Liang's situation specifically like? Are there many situations like hers?"
"Actually, there are many. Including many people who cannot become Qi practitioners. They and Lu Liang all face the same problem - no spiritual roots. In other words, the spiritual energy cannot take root in her body, but only in the meridians. It will be lost after wandering around for a while. In the past, warriors would use this time to circulate the spiritual energy for several days, so as to keep the meridians as smooth as possible to maintain the innate body. Lu Liang is very hardworking."
As he spoke, he sighed:
"My parents passed away when I was young. My grandfather was very busy working in the Ministry of Etiquette, and my master usually took care of me. Lu Liang has been very powerful since she was a child. She is the ace of the Wutai Mountain Training Center. A fifth grader When I was performing martial arts in armor, my spear was knocked off, but she rushed up and knocked over four of the opponents with her fists; I awakened my spiritual roots in the second grade of junior high school, and my strength has gradually increased since then. And Lu Liang. ..I can feel that she is working harder and harder, but unfortunately there is no progress. But as long as she eats carrots, the results of her past training will be shown. Some people say that I am unlucky, but I think she is the one She is really unlucky. She really... really only lacked the spiritual root, the most critical spiritual root. She put in 99% of her efforts, but only missed 1% of the spiritual root, so she failed. Become a Qi Practitioner.”
"Lu Liang is not considered a Qi practitioner now?"
"Yes...so she may not even be able to enter the Imperial Guard. This is even more cruel for a child like her who was born into a family of Qi practitioners. It used to be difficult to make a difference. Ordinary people can't see it, but she has grown up since she was a child. I saw it, but I could only watch helplessly as the world of Qi practitioners drifted away from her. Even I, a loser, had become a loser, but she was the only one who couldn't. Do you know why I didn't dare to see her? In fact, It’s not just because of the homework. If the homework is not handed in, the most it will do is get kicked a few times by her. But..."
He looked at the sky: "She can't beat me now. She can't beat me anymore. She won't even get hurt by her kicks. I can see her movements clearly, and I can see where she kicks." Several levels. This critical point has finally been reached, and 99% of my efforts have been left behind. My acting skills are not good, and I am really afraid that she will see it. So I really don’t want to make her angry, because I am afraid of her. When she kicked me like before, she found that I could dodge, found that I could keep up with her movements, found that I had surpassed her... It was so cruel, it was so cruel. But Carrot treated her The effect is getting weaker and weaker."
Shangluo also fell silent. It was still spring break. When he saw Lu Liang in the morning, she was driving wooden piles. The sun got stronger in the afternoon, and she was still training outside. All these efforts are just for the sake of ethereal immortality.
Now she can even use carrots to gain strength. But Lu Huaiyang also said that fairy root radish is becoming more and more useless to the meridians of adults. And Lu Liang will always grow up one day.
"She is far from the only such person, right?"
Wen Yuan nodded: "Maybe that's why my master didn't let his youngest daughter practice martial arts. He didn't want to see what happened to Lu Liang happen again to Lu Yue. Daozu showed us the way and opened the way to heaven for us. . This road is really cold and merciless. If you can see Dao Ancestor, can you ask him... what is all this for? After the Qi Practitioners, there are heavenly beings, and what comes after the heavenly beings? When can we truly live forever? This is not just me, this is also a question that many people want to ask Daozu. It’s just that Daozu never sees us, only letting the emperor convey his meaning. Some people are even thinking. ..Does Taozu never exist? I once asked General Bai Feng, General Dongshou, General Ziying, and General Wan Guan. I asked them one by one, but they all just shook their heads and were noncommittal. . I am far from the only one who has raised questions like this."
"Then tomorrow..."
"Yes. Tomorrow, everything will be revealed. After you come out, everyone will have a lot to ask you. Everything depends on tomorrow morning. You can bring new news. You won't lie to me. Right? No, right?"
