End of the year.
Jiamu Lei method was successfully completed.
Lu Zhong received the news
Dong Buyu passed away three days ago.
Dongbu Cottage and Dongbu Alchemy Workshop under his name have changed to different owners respectively. The only thing in common is that they are the elders of Changchun Valley. As for Dongbu Nan, his whereabouts are unknown.
This matter has almost no impact on the Chengde Chamber of Commerce.
As soon as the New Year passed, Lu Zhong took the Chamber of Commerce flying boat and set off for Heling Sect.
After a month of flying.
Qingliubo has arrived.
Returning to my hometown, I felt so complicated.
This Qingliufang was demolished and rebuilt, and there is no trace of the former square. Because this place has been occupied by corpses for a long time, there is still a trace of corpse gas in the air.
Standing at the newly built pier, Lu Zhong looked at the unmanned fishing boat.
In my mind, I couldn't help but recall the time when I made my first pot of gold by fishing for peach blossom mandarin fish.
At this time, footsteps came from behind.
A female cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building and several of her subordinates surrounded the monk whose cultivation level was unknown. After discovering that the other person's cultivation level was unfathomable, her expression changed.
"Qingliufang strictly prohibits the entry and exit of unknown persons. Please report your identity!"
"Oh?" Lu Zhong turned around and his eyes fell on the female cultivator.
This woman's appearance is average. Not to mention compared to Yu Feng'er, even the maids in Lintao Pavilion are better in appearance than her. If we talk about her only advantage, it is probably her excellent figure and outstanding temperament.
With a rare smile on his face, he cupped his hands and said, "Long time no see, Fellow Daoist Huang!"
"Lu, Fellow Daoist Lu?!" Huang Shuyuan saw clearly the face that had not changed. She felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She froze in place, so shocked that she couldn't even speak.
But soon, she reacted.
Under the surprised eyes of his subordinates, he grabbed Lu Zhong's hand and took him to a remote place.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, please leave through the west exit now. Otherwise, when the monks from the Heling Sect find out, there will be big trouble. Especially when you meet the Ancestor Shui Ni from the Heling Sect, she will never show mercy!" Huang Shuyuan said calmly and calmly with anxiety in her tone.
Seeing her look like this, Lu Zhong knew that she had gone through many hardships in these years.
only……
"Fellow Daoist Huang, did you misunderstand something?"
As he spoke, he took out a token.
This is the token given by Shui Ni to the elder Ke Qing. He has a respected status in Heling Sect. Only under Shui Ni, the ancestor, is one person truly inferior to ten thousand people.
"Ah?!" Huang Shuyuan's face turned red.
She immediately understood that she had made a big mistake.
If you really care, you will become confused, and you will always get into trouble.
I had just received a report that an unknown person had sneaked into Fang City, so when I saw Lu Zhong, whose cultivation was unfathomable, I thought he was the unknown person.
He had just received a report from his subordinates that an unknown person had sneaked into Fang City, so when he saw Lu Zhong, whose cultivation was unfathomable, he subconsciously thought that he was the unknown person.
Such a big mistake was made.
After quickly calming down, Huang Shuyuan was suddenly stunned again.
etc!
Elder Keqing?
Huang Shuyuan looked at the golden token in disbelief, her beautiful eyes full of surprise.
She looked in disbelief and slowly looked at the golden token, her beautiful eyes full of surprise.
"You, you formed a pill?"
"Yeah." Lu Zhong chuckled.
He glanced at the law enforcement team members who were poking their heads at the alley. Everyone, male and female, looked like they were gossiping. He was fine. Huang Shuyuan next to him didn't seem to care either, but this place was not a good place for conversation.
So he suggested: "How about we find a teahouse?"
Huang Shuyuan hesitated for a while, but finally nodded.
While Lu Zhong turned around, she couldn't help but take a few more glances. She still couldn't believe that the Talisman Maker who was similar to her in cultivation had now formed a golden elixir.
Thinking of something in his mind, his eyes darkened.
The two of them remained silent on the road, with Lu Zhong walking in front and Huang Shuyuan following suit.
Perhaps because of the new construction of Fang City, there are not many people on Qingliufang Street. Pedestrians are in twos and threes, and they are basically craftsmen from Changchun Region or their family members who are accompanying them.
Occasionally I see one or two moon-grazing monks, whose cultivation is basically at the first, second or third level of Qi Refining. Judging from their skinny faces, it is obvious that their lives were not good before, but there are smiles on their faces, which can be clearly seen in their eyes. Seeing the light is the hope for a better future.
Arriving in front of a newly opened teahouse, Lu Zhong suddenly stopped.
"Tongfu Teahouse, this is it."
The first floor is a place for drinking tea. There are many monks sitting there chatting and spanking. They are basically in the middle stage of Qi refining, and there are one or two in the late stage of Qi refining. They all make a living nearby. Occasionally they make money by hunting monsters, but most of them. I always work as a bodyguard for caravans.
Ever since the Wuling Sect forcibly destroyed the Qingyang Sect and suffered severe damage to their vitality, the evil cultivators in the Moon-Raising Realm have been out of control.
Because of this, the bodyguard profession is becoming more and more prosperous.
But with the reconstruction of Heling Sect, their business plummeted.
The evil cultivators who were originally rampant in the Moon Land were wiped out in their lairs one by one, and the remaining ones did not dare to stay any longer, for fear that one day they would be killed by the real Jin Dan, combined with the reputation of Shui Ni, the ancestor of Ling Sect. , but it was actually made of the bones of evil cultivators.
Seeing that Huang Shuyuan, who usually looked like a judge, was actually following the male cultivator like a daughter at this moment, all of them had incredible expressions on their faces. While guessing the origin of the male cultivator in black, they couldn't help but secretly laugh at the majestic female cultivator. Senior Judge Huang actually has times like this.
Of course, no one dared to laugh out loud.
After all, Huang Shuyuan is a true cultivator of foundation building, and she is someone they absolutely cannot afford to offend.
Went up to the private room on the second floor, and soon a pot of spiritual tea was served.
Shi Ji put down the teapot and tea cup, and wanted to leave in a panic, but was stopped by Lu Zhong. He felt panic in his heart and almost jumped up on the spot.
The handsome boy dressed as a man showed a smile that was uglier than crying and stammered:
"Senior, what are your orders?"
"The name of the teahouse is 'Tongfu', but your shopkeeper's surname is Tong?" Lu Zhong put down the tea cup in his hand, thinking of some old things, and asked the handsome waiter.
The waiter shook his head like a rattle and bravely explained: "Although I don't know why the senior asked this, but as far as I know, the shopkeeper's surname is Li, and there is no one named Tong in the teahouse."
"Okay, I was overthinking it." Lu Zhong was disappointed.
Throwing a spiritual stone casually.
"Just back off."
"Yes, thank you, senior!" The guy got the spirit stone and immediately laughed so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes, and went down the stairs. After a while, a woman's laughter came from downstairs.
By the window, Huang Shuyuan looked away and her eyes fell on Lu Zhong.
Her beautiful eyes trembled, her lips wriggled a few times, and finally she seemed to have made a decision, "Lu, Fellow Daoist Lu, will you be here as the elder of Heling Sect in the future?"
"Well, I won't stay long." Lu Zhong shook his head, without looking at Huang Shuyuan's expression. He looked at the scenery outside the window and explained: "This time I came to the Moon Realm just to help the master solve some troubles. The problem in the general's tomb needs to be solved. Silver Armored Corpse, you still have to return to Changchun Territory, my home is over there."
"Changchun Domain, home?" Huang Shuyuan's mood became even lower.
The monk is wandering.
Why call home?
There must be someone important accompanying you.
otherwise.
No matter how high the spiritual level is, no matter how luxurious the decoration is, the cave is just a resting place.
If there is an accident, there will be no trace of leaving it behind.
After being silent for a long while, Huang Shuyuan moved her steps.
One step, two steps...
She hugged Lu Zhong from behind.
At the same time, I also smelled the faint smell of fragrant powder that couldn't be removed even with the cleaning charm.
The faint fragrance is extremely precious.
It's a fragrant powder that nuns in the Red Chamber can't afford.
The last glimmer of hope in her heart failed. Huang Shuyuan's body trembled slightly and she couldn't help crying. But she quickly wiped away her tears, took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, this junior is willful."
With that said, he walked quickly towards the door.
Unexpectedly, he was caught by Lu Zhong.
afterwards.
Huang Shuyuan looked at the clothes scattered on the ground, slightly dazed.
Recalling the scene just now, my cheeks couldn't help but become red and hot, and I was so embarrassed that I quickly covered my face with my hands.
Suddenly, a green light fell on him.
But it was Lu Zhong's rejuvenation technique.
"Thank you so much, Fellow Daoist Lu..." Huang Shuyuan lowered her head shyly.
"Are you okay?" Lu Zhongwen asked.
"I'm much better." Huang Shuyuan still couldn't help but feel ashamed inside, so she took a piece of obscene clothing to cover her body, and then she sat up to meditate, trying to reconcile the true energy that had almost gone violent but was healed.
If it hadn't been for Lu Zhong's help just now, I'm afraid she would have gone crazy now.
Thinking of what happened between the two of them just now, I couldn't help but think wildly.
There are many ways to relieve obsession, why did he choose this one?
Me, me too, why...
What a shame!
I won’t be able to see anyone anymore!
The more I thought about it, the more confused my mind became, and the sea of qi became violent again.
Another afterthought.
Huang Shuyuan didn't dare to think about it any more, otherwise she didn't know what she would do.
It took most of an hour to finally stabilize the Qi Sea.
After getting dressed, she saw Lu Zhong put down the tea cup and stood up, and subconsciously blurted out: "Can you... stay a little longer? Even if it's just a quarter of an hour."
"No problem." Lu Zhong smiled calmly.
After some interludes, it was already the time when the moon was rising above the willow branches.
Lifting up a strand of stray hair, Huang Shuyuan asked casually: "She, from Changchun Territory, should...should be more optimistic than me?"
Lu Zhong didn't say anything and performed the Water Mirror Technique.
In the mirror, a stunning female cultivator was holding a freshly picked spiritual fruit in her arms. She didn't even notice that her hair was covered with grass blades. She was smiling at the camera, smiling heartlessly. This was The memory of the two of them traveling together was preserved in the gray fog space.
Every time I read it when I feel bored during practice, my mood will become much smoother after reading it.
Huang Shuyuan looked lonely after seeing it. The female cultivator in the mirror was not comparable to her, or in other words, there was no comparison between the two. This was due to the huge gap in work and experience.
Then she smiled.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, I have something to do here. I hope we can meet again in the future!"
"Of course!" Lu Zhong smiled.
After being separated from Huang Shuyuan, he soared directly into the sky, turned into a rainbow light, gathered all the star power in the sky, flew towards the direction of the Heling Sect's mountain gate, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Huang Shuyuan was left on the ground, staring blankly into the distance.
…
Helingzong Mountain Gate.
This place was originally called "Qingyang Mountain". Later, after the Qingyang Sect was destroyed, it was occupied by the Wuling Sect and became a branch. It was briefly called "Zhenyang Mountain", but as the Wuling Sect became worse and worse day by day, This place was also occupied by evil cultivators. It changed hands several times among families and pheasant sects, and is now called "Heling Mountain".
When Lu Zhong came here, he saw only a construction site.
For many buildings, the foundations have just been dug and the foundation materials have not even been put in.
He looked towards the top of Heling Mountain, where there was a brightly lit hall. If nothing else, Shui Ni should be there.
Sure enough, as soon as Lu Zhong entered the palace, he saw Shui Ni.
At this moment, her eyes were blackened, her hair was as messy as a chicken coop, and her clothes were wrinkled. She was biting a brush, thinking hard about something, and her expression looked very distressed.
How could he possibly look like a real Jin Dan?
She was so absorbed in thinking that she didn't even notice Lu Zhong coming over.
"Ahem!"
"Good disciple! Come and save me as your master!" Shui Ni saw Lu Zhong and ran down from the hall barefooted with an excited expression as if he had seen the rescuers.
"Cough cough cough!" Lu Zhong coughed aggravatedly.
Indicates to someone whose love affair has been leaked, to pay attention to his manners.
Unexpectedly, Shui Ni smiled instead, pulled down his collar, and said shamelessly: "The good news does not flow to outsiders. Whoever follows the other, our master and disciple, aren't we all our own people, so we just look at it, right? Middle-earth Those people are playing like a teacher, let me tell you carefully, they..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Lu Zhong rolled his eyes and interrupted Shui Ni directly.
If she kept talking, she still wouldn't know what would come out of her mouth.
Why haven't you noticed before that this woman is so crooked?
No, no serious master can ever be a "good disciple".
Shui Ni never passed by.
Now it's just more wanton.
"Pfft!" Shui Ni was interrupted, covered her mouth and laughed, rolled her eyes, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I won't play with my good disciple anymore. Oops! Dealing with affairs for the master for many days is really tiring. It's broken, my shoulder seems a little sore, good disciple, can you help me hammer it down?"
Lu Zhongquan pretended not to hear what she said, and went straight in and out of one ear, and then said seriously: "Master is busy with official affairs, why doesn't Master set up a general affairs chief, and let this person handle the affairs of the family?"
"You don't want to be a teacher! It's not like there are no trustworthy people..." Shui Ni felt like crying. Seeing that Lu Zhong didn't respond at all, he had to say honestly: "Heling Sect has been rebuilt. My good disciple, don't look at this." There are more than a thousand disciples, and those who have some qualifications among them are all sent by other forces. If you say you dare to use them as a teacher, can you use them?"
"That's true." Lu Zhong agreed.
I remember that he had also eliminated such a group of people at the Chengde Chamber of Commerce and the Yu family.
The number is really quite a lot, as many as three digits.
"Good disciple..."
"Master, please tell me if you have something to say."
"How about you recommend a suitable candidate?" Shui Ni Lu Zhong pushed him beside him.
"Dear Master, are you the ancestor of the Heling Sect, or is this disciple the ancestor of the Heling Sect? Don't you have a suitable...er, decent candidate in mind?" Lu Zhong was so angry that his tooth ached for the first time. , this is something that has never happened before, and I can’t help but feel weird.
Is Shui Ni treating the running of the sect like a family?
"This is not the first time. I have no experience." Shui Ni curled her lips.
"Bangbang is my teacher. Once you learn, you will become familiar again."
Hearing this, Lu Zhong rolled his eyes.
It will take a while, where can I find someone for you?
oh.
It seems there really is one.
So he explained Huang Shuyuan's situation in detail to Shui Ni. The latter hesitated for a while and then said after a long time: "It's not that I don't trust my good disciple, it's just that she has always been a casual cultivator. She is neither from a cultivating family nor has she ever joined. After passing through a sect, is such a person... ok, ok, why is my good disciple looking like this and can't be more patient with my master, then let her be the one!"
Seeing Lu Zhong getting up to leave, Shui Ni quickly changed her words, fearing that she would be angry and drive away the helper she had invited.
He immediately drew up a handwritten letter and asked someone to invite Huang Shuyuan.
"Phew! It's a relief!"
Shui Ni breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly smiled.
But when I think of the general's tomb, I feel a bitter look again.
"My dear disciple, what are we going to do about the silver-armored corpse in the general's tomb?"
The general's tomb is close to Qingliufang City. If you want to develop this place in the future, you must eliminate the hidden dangers in the tomb. Otherwise, no one can guarantee whether the city will be destroyed once the three silver-armored corpses emerge.
"Master, have you ever tried it?" Lu Zhong said without raising his eyelids.
"We have fought each other before. The three silver-armored corpses are all in the main tomb area. They have long regarded it as their lair. It is run in an airtight manner. There are poisonous miasma everywhere, as well as traps left by ancient monks. For When the master enters and doesn't wait to open up, he first reduces his abilities by three points, and when the fight begins, he will naturally be inferior to them."
"If they were placed outside, I could hit three of them alone!"
When Shui Ni talked about this, she looked depressed.
If the silver-armored corpse in the general's tomb cannot be solved, the future development of Heling Sect will inevitably be limited.
Her hope of having a baby would naturally come to nothing.
"Then let him out and fight!" Lu Zhong couldn't help but give her a strange look.
"What do you mean? Those eyes that care about the mentally retarded deserve a beating, right?" Shui Niliu raised her eyebrows slightly, and wanted to give Lu Zhong a fierce look, but when she thought that she still had something to ask for, her aura suddenly weakened, and she said Nunuo: " My good disciple, what do you mean when you say you're going to be released for a beating? I don't know if I'm a master?"
"..." Lu Zhong.
After a long while, he suppressed the emotions in his heart and explained: "I remember that the soil layer of the general's tomb is not thick. Since Master, you are not afraid of the three silver-armored corpses outside, and you can kill three of them one by one, then why not directly Open the tomb and force them to come out and fight you?"
"Yes! Why didn't I think of that!" Shui Ni's eyes lit up.
As for how to open the tomb, this is a piece of cake.
At present, the Heling Sect has gathered a large number of craftsmen, many of whom are monks who are proficient in earth-moving magic. It is easy to join forces to form an "earth-covering formation", and the layers of the general's tomb can be lifted up in a few clicks.
After the trap corpse energy in the tomb was gone, the three silver-armored corpses were exposed.
It would be easy for her to kill him.
"My dear disciple, I love you so much!"
Lu Zhong pushed him away with a look of disgust on his face: "Be careful with your image! Your future head of general affairs has already arrived at the door. Master, you don't want your ugly appearance to be seen, right?"
"Oh, yes, yes." Shui Ni quickly used the spell to remove the stains on his body, straightened his clothes in a few seconds, and swept away the garbage in the hall with the spell.
Sitting behind the eucalyptus table, it feels like a fairy descending to the mortal world.
Where is the slightest bit of impropriety from before?
Lu Zhong complained in his heart and sat on the futon beside him.
Outside the palace at this moment.
Huang Shuyuan felt uneasy. Just now, the deacon of Heling Sect suddenly came and said that Ancestor Shui Ni wanted to invite him for something. However, he did not say what the specific matter was, which made her feel a little uneasy. She kept thinking about whether she had anything recently. Things didn't go right.
"Strange, nothing wrong."
Ever since her talisman-making skills encountered a bottleneck and she was unable to draw a second-level talisman, she has been worrying about obtaining spiritual stone resources. Being the captain of the Qingliubo City Law Enforcement Team is the best job she has found so far.
The monthly salary alone is two hundred, and with the various subsidies and benefits received, he can have three to five thousand spiritual stones a year, and he will be able to steal them outside.
This is much better than hunting monsters or working as a bodyguard.
Just as she was thinking about it, she entered the palace.
"Junior Huang Shuyuan, I have met Master Shui!" Huang Shuyuan lowered her head, bowed her hands and bowed, then quietly waited for the reply from the ancestor Shui Ni in the hall.
"No need to be polite, come and talk." Shui Ni said softly.
"Yes." Huang Shuyuan responded.
I couldn't help but think that with Shui Zhenren's nice tone, it seemed like he didn't have to worry about losing his job.
He slowly raised his head.
When he saw the two people in the hall, especially Lu Zhong beside him, he hesitated slightly.
Fellow Daoist Lu’s master is Ancestor Shui Ni!
He couldn't help but think of what he said when he persuaded Lu Zhong to leave in the alley.
My ears couldn't help but feel slightly hot, and my breathing became faster. .
When Shui Ni saw it, she thought Huang Shuyuan was too excited, so she didn't think much about it and said, "Let's get straight to the point! I'm calling you here this time. I'm going to appoint you to be the head of the general affairs of Heling Sect. I don't know. how about?"
"Head of General Affairs!" Huang Shuyuan couldn't help but exclaimed.
Shouldn't this position be held by a disciple of Ancestor Shui Ni?
Looking towards Shui Ni, Huang Shuyuan immediately guessed that it was Lu Zhong who made the suggestion, otherwise Zhaoshui Zhenren would not have thought of her at all due to her relationship.
Without hesitation, she bowed deeply and said, "How dare you disobey me!"
"Okay, okay!" Shui Ni came down from the hall, held Huang Shuyuan's arm and sat down in the hall, looking like a courteous corporal, but she was laughing in her heart, thinking that she could finally be freed.
After watching Huang Shuyuan and skillfully handling two matters, she was even more happy.
Looking at Lu Zhong again, he disappeared at some point.
Coming out of Heling Sect, he was flying aimlessly.
When he came back to his senses, he found that he had arrived at Dihuazhou.
Decades later, this place is still the same as it was before, except that there are a few ruins of buildings among the wild grass and wives. It is obvious that many people want to open up this place, but in the end they all end in failure.
Arrive at the reef on the left side of Dihuazhou where the current is flowing rapidly.
When I scanned it with my spiritual consciousness, I saw that there were still many fish inside.
"This kind of underwater structure is indeed the best place to hide fish!" Lu Zhong thought of the time he fished for peach blossom mandarin fish. It was because of his fishing experience in his previous life that he was able to find this fish nest based on the information revealed by Yanliu.
The glutton in my stomach is full of food.
So I took pictures of three big fish, all of which were top quality with bright red scales.
Once grilled, you can enjoy it.
"How do you describe this smell?"
Lu Zhong took two bites and found that it was not as delicious as he remembered.
"Maybe it's because the mentality is different."
