After leaving the herbal shop, Lu Jing felt that he was in a trance.
What does it mean to have a leaky house and rain all night long? He felt it today.
Less than half a day after entering the first class, I turned around and received the news that I had fallen into the mortal world and was out of stock.
However, after calming down, Lu Jing went to other pharmacies as planned and bought all the common medicinal materials needed to refine the fall into the mortal world.
When he returned to the small courtyard where he lived, looking at the medicinal materials that filled half the room, Lu Jing frowned and was not happy at all.
The situation is clear.
Since he opened up the Ren and Du channels, Lu Jing has lost control over the growth of his internal energy in his dantian. He can only rely on taking drugs to stay alive. However, the poison in his hand is only enough for him for half a year.
In half a year, either the supply of medicinal materials will be restored, or he will have to find some other means to solve the problem in his Dantian instead of falling into the mortal world.
If it's the former, it's definitely not possible to just wait.
The fire lantern grass may be available in the market when the weather gets hotter next year, but the white-eye silkworm clothes are caused by pirates, and they will definitely not be able to get the goods unless the pirates are dealt with.
A first-rate master couldn't scare Lu Jing.
After all, he has now penetrated the Ren and Du meridian, and even though he is just a first-class player, according to the previous rules, the amount of internal energy in his Dantian is probably unrivaled in the world.
Even if there are more than a dozen second-rate masters, as long as they don't swarm them all, it won't be a big problem for Lu Jing.
However, the battle is not just a competition of pure strength.
The East China Sea is the territory on the opposite side. According to the old pharmacist, both the imperial court and the righteous people have tried to encircle and suppress this group of pirates before, but in the end they all failed.
It can be seen that this group of people is not only powerful, but also has deep influence in the local area.
Maybe the fishermen and farmers along the coast are their eyes and ears, and since they are in collusion with the Demonic Cult, any disturbances in the nearby lands cannot be hidden from their ears.
It's not easy to find them.
In addition, it would take a month and a half at the fastest from here to Yuzhou Mansion. Lu Jing needed to consider how long it would take him to wipe out this group of pirates.
And even if he successfully kills this group of people and restores trade in the East China Sea, it is still unknown when the fire lantern grass will grow back in the Western Region.
Lu Jing even wondered if the climate change there was related to some strange thing, and he didn't know that Kui and the organization behind her were in charge of things other than Chen Chao.
Lu Jing couldn't help but sigh again when he thought of this. Half a year was still too short. It took more than half a year to get from the East China Sea to the Western Regions.
And he could vaguely feel that the world had indeed begun to change suddenly as Yan Guangbo said, but Yan Guangbo felt that the current turmoil was due to natural disasters and demons from the Demon Cult.
But Lu Jing, who has personally experienced two murders by strange creatures and has also read the essays of Xiao Xiao, the King of Hell, knows that things are not that simple.
It must be admitted that Lu Jing was not a very ambitious person in his previous life or now.
I don’t have the idea that my destiny is up to me, or that I must strive to be the best in the world.
Regardless of whether he studies literature or martial arts, his starting point is to make his life better.
When he realized that there were still unknowable things in this world, he wanted to learn secret powers more for self-protection.
So when Kui told him that joining the organization meant that he would have to face those weird things in the future, Lu Jing did hesitate.
Because from a security perspective, this choice is obviously not rational.
But now Lu Jing found that he seemed to have no other way to go.
Within half a year, it would be difficult for him to collect the two medicinal materials, Fire Lantern Grass and White Eyed Silkworm Clothes, by himself.
In this case, he could only find another way.
The mysterious organization behind Aoi currently seems to be the most likely place to provide him with answers, and even solve his troubles once and for all.
Lu Jing took out the wooden sign with the mysterious eyes engraved on it again, holding it in his hand and turning it over and over to read it several times.
He had a premonition that once he went to the capital, his life would change drastically.
And he might never be able to return to his current leisurely days of practicing martial arts every day, occasionally helping the Imperial City Division catch fugitives to earn silver rewards, and then go home and masturbate Amu.
Now he is like Neo in The Matrix, looking at the two pills handed over by Morpheus, hesitant.
There was a snap.
But it was Amu who happily jumped down from the tall pile of medicinal herbs.
Then he jumped up again and jumped down again, just like playing on a trampoline.
Lu Jing did not stop it, but felt a little guilty when he saw this scene.
In the past two years, Amu has been living with him. However, because he was worried that he might be discovered by the organization behind the men in black, Amu was taken away.
Lu Jing rarely took Amu out except for practicing martial arts. On weekdays, if Amu was at home alone, he would just entertain himself like now.
Although the little wooden mannequin never cried or made trouble, Lu Jing could still feel Amu's desire for the outside world.
So Lu Jing was also worried during this period. He couldn't just hide Amu for the rest of his life. Moreover, if something unexpected happened to him in the future, or he simply lived to his old age, what would Amu do?
Why don't we take Amu to Beijing with us this time, go find out what the organization is like, and if there's no danger, help Amu get a household registration.
Let it be able to move freely from now on. Anyway, with its lightness, ordinary people cannot catch up with it.
Lu Jing finally made up his mind.
Once the decision was made, Lu Jing stopped procrastinating. He first wrote two letters and went to the inn to mail them, and then ran to find his master to say goodbye.
When Zhang Sanfeng heard that he was going to the capital, Lianhang showed no signs of surprise. He finished the half-opening palm he had just struck, stopped and adjusted his breathing, and then spoke again.
"Actually, even if you don't plan to leave, I still want to tell you this. I've taught you everything I can, but some things can't be explained by just one mouth. You have to do it yourself. Only by truly traveling around the world can you learn.
"You are so famous in Wujiang City. This is of course a good thing. Everyone respects you. Old man, I am also honored by you. Now when I walk on the street, everyone calls me Mr. Zhang politely. But on the other hand, , if you are praised too high by others, it will be difficult to see the things that happen in the dark corners. And this is also part of the world.
"This world is very big. When I was an escort in my early years, I traveled here and there. It sounds like I have been to many places, but in fact I only saw them in detail. You should also visit more while you are young. Although Wujiang City is good. , but it’s just a corner of the world.
“It’s a pity that the world is no longer as tough as it used to be, but every time like this, it’s often the time when heroes emerge in large numbers to save the world, and whether they are dragons or snakes, they will have nowhere to hide and will be clearly seen by others.
"There are several geniuses of the younger generation, including Yan Nuxia from Yunshui Jingci Pavilion, Wei Zixian from Xijian Pavilion, Zhaoming the young monk from Xuankong Temple, Baiyu Gongzi from Xiaoyao Villa... and other young talents, hey, Now, I, Zhang Sanfeng’s apprentice, Lu Jing, have to be added to the list!
"I have been teaching you how to protect yourself before, and advised you to avoid enmity with others and to make peace in everything. Before I leave, I will give you six more words."
"Master, please teach me." Lu Jing clasped his fists.
"If you want to think about retreating, think about advancing first!"
Lu Jing was stunned when he heard this, wondering if his ears had heard it wrong.
However, when he raised his head, he saw that Zhang Sanfeng, who had uttered these six words, seemed to be several years younger. He seemed to be recalling the days when he was young, wearing white clothes and riding a horse, fighting swords in the world. The old man half-squinted his eyes. Then he said.
"If you don't move forward, when you want to retreat in the future, where will you be? Your temperament is too stable, and sometimes you don't even act like a young man. I am most satisfied with this about you, but I am also the most dissatisfied with you. On this point, sometimes we still have to fight for it!"
When Lu Jing heard the last sentence, a thunderbolt sounded in his ears, splitting the chaos covering his head. It also made him think about something, and he couldn't help but hold his fists tighter.
"Thank you, Master, for reminding me!"
"You go ahead."
Zhang Sanfeng, however, had already turned his back and waved his hand.
