In the early morning of this day, Lu Nianchou put on neat and clean clothes, put twenty gold coins in a sash, and then followed Li Mochou to Wang's house next door.
This Aunt Wang was an ordinary peasant woman in the mountains. She had received some silver as a gift from Li Mochou before. When she saw the master and apprentice, she immediately beamed with joy.
"This is little brother Lu Ying. He is indeed a talented person. He is promising at first sight. He will definitely be able to learn skills from Zhongnan Mountain in the future..."
The lady kept chattering, but Lu Nianchou glared at Li Mochou fiercely.
Li Mochou did not look at him, she just coughed twice and said, "You kid has been clamoring to go to Zhongnan Mountain to practice martial arts. I can't help you, so I can only ask Aunt Wang to take you to the mountain to see the world."
"But after all, you are the only child in the family, and you have made an engagement in advance. You have a beautiful fiancée waiting for you."
"After a while, I will learn a few moves in Chongyang Palace, then calm down and come back down the mountain as soon as possible."
"Don't keep your fiancée waiting, I will personally marry you when the time comes."
When Lu Nianchou heard what she said, his eyes suddenly became extremely dark, and he said in a slightly low tone, "Do you really think so?"
Before Li Mochou could speak, Hong Lingbo rushed over at some point. Her eyes were bloodshot, her hair was messy, and she looked tired, as if she hadn't slept all night.
"Mom is right. You still have a fiancée waiting for you to go back and marry her. You must not let your thoughts wander again, let alone flirt with women outside."
"When you have mastered martial arts, hurry up and marry her. Only in this way can you inherit the incense of your Lu family. Don't go astray."
Hong Lingbo's voice was hoarse, and every sentence seemed to have a meaning.
She had also dealt with this Aunt Wang. She bought some vegetables and fruits on weekdays and pretended to be Li Mochou's daughter.
Aunt Wang only thought that Li Mochou was the mother of this young man and woman. Judging from their good temperament and generous spending, she felt that they were born into a wealthy family.
At this time, he also said with a smile: "The Taoist men on Zhongnan Mountain also marry wives and have children. Brother Lu, you have been studying on the mountain for a year and a half. After you have experienced the freshness, you can also go down the mountain and become a Lay disciples.”
"You are the only one in your family, but you must not cut off the incense."
After being lectured by them, Lu Nianchou felt an uncontrollable evil fire in his heart. He chuckled, walked up to Li Mochou, and said in an incomprehensible tone: "You also want my cousin and I to get married as soon as possible and pass on the Lu family's incense." ?"
Li Mochou seemed a little guilty and didn't dare to raise her head to look at him. She just coughed twice and said, "In a few years, you will be of age to get married. Not to mention that with your parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, it is natural for you to get married." should."
Lu Nianchou said with some annoyance: "You clearly know that I have someone in my heart, but you still say such things to me, which annoys me. Do you believe that I can simply become a monk and become a true Taoist priest?"
The aunt on the side saw that he was speaking so rudely and quickly tried to dissuade him: "Brother Lu, how can you talk to your mother like this? She asked you to get married for your own good."
Hong Lingbo even said calmly: "Yes, Aunt Wang is right. You are too humble to speak like this. I think you have forgotten your superiority and inferiority, and your own identity."
"Brother, I have to be careful about what I say and do in the future. Don't let others laugh at us for not having a tutor."
Lu Nianchou was stunned by them, and his face became more and more ugly. He ignored them, just stared at Li Mochou and said, "I only want to ask you the last thing, do you really want me to get married?"
Li Mochou's hands in her sleeves were clenched so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh, and her knuckles turned blue from the force.
She slowly raised her head, looked into Lu Nianchou's eyes, and said word by word: "Yes, I want you to get married to your fiancée after you come down from the mountain."
Lu Nianchou stared at her intently. After a long time, he smiled and said, "Okay, since you are so insistent, then I will help you."
"When I master martial arts, I will return to Lujiazhuang and get married to my fiancée."
After he finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and turned around. His face was gloomy and depressed, and he walked towards Zhongnan Mountain without saying a word.
Li Mochou swayed, her face turned a little pale, but she still gritted her teeth and said nothing more.
Li Mochou swayed, her face turned a little pale, but she still gritted her teeth and said nothing more.
"Brother Lu is still young and hasn't made up his mind yet. After a few years, he will understand your good intentions and know that you are doing it for him."
"Ms. Li, don't worry. I will give him some advice on the way."
After a few words of persuasion, Aunt Wang hurriedly got into the oxcart loaded with goods, and then went away along the mountain road.
Li Mochou stood motionless and did not come back to her senses until Lu Nianchou's figure disappeared.
Hong Lingbo said at this time: "Master, junior brother, he has left, we should go back."
Li Mochou took a deep breath and closed her eyes. All kinds of thoughts flashed through her mind. She soon firmed up her thoughts and slowly opened her eyes.
At this moment, she regained her former indifference and calmness, and said lightly: "Let's go!"
With that said, he turned and left.
Hong Lingbo glanced at the direction Lu Nianchou was leaving, and then at Li Mochou's back, feeling some indescribable bitterness in his heart.
"Junior brother, don't blame me."
"I'm doing this all for your own good."
…
Although it is already March, the spring is cold and there is still some snow on Zhongnan Mountain that has not melted. Especially the further you go up the mountain, the colder it becomes.
The palaces in the mountain stretch out, and the fragrance of burning lingers. There are many pilgrims worshiping the mountain, all wearing thick coats.
At this time, it was just dawn, but there were bells ringing. It was time for those Quanzhen disciples to do their morning classes.
Those Quanzhen Taoist priests walking outside only wore thin Taoist robes, showing superb martial arts, which made people feel more and more admired and respected.
This is the orthodoxy passed down by the famous sect in the world, Chongyang, the most powerful king in the world.
"The Quanzhen Sect... is thriving!"
Lu Nianchou listened to the bells ringing in his ears, looked at the many palaces, and the Quanzhen disciples who gathered from all directions to do morning classes, and felt more and more how powerful this sect was.
Over the years, the Quanzhen Seven Sons not only preached scriptures and sermons in various places, but also convinced many Mongolian nobles to become religious believers.
With the support of the high-ranking officials and nobles of the Mongolian royal court, and the ability of the people below, the martial arts in the sect has progressed from shallow to deep, and can be practiced to the highest level of martial arts.
In addition, the Quanzhen Seven Sons are good at martial arts and proficient in the sect's philosophy. They wholeheartedly promote and strengthen the Quanzhen Sect. Therefore, it is natural that the Quanzhen Sect has prospered today.
"Let's put the matter with Master aside for now, and deal with her later when we meet."
"If you join the Quanzhen Sect now, you have to be careful!"
Lu Nianchou suppressed all the distracting thoughts just now, and put on a look of shock and yearning on his face.
Aunt Wang on the side had already been persuading him all the way, asking him to listen to his family and not to lose his temper, so that he could practice martial arts and learn Taoism in the Chongyang Palace.
Lu Nian was so worried that he could only pretend to be deaf and mute and not say a word.
The ox cart slowly drove into the mountain gate, followed the mountain path, and headed towards the vegetable warehouse behind the palace complex.
