Lu He was shocked beyond measure today.
First, the immortal skills of Qing Hao led him into the coveted Tianshu Cave, then the Qingshan Sword Technique of the disciples breathing in and out of Gang Qi, Yuan Luo showing off the elegant light body technique, and finally Qing Hao's Immortal Appearance! None of it is human. Who knows how many magical skills from the immortal family the Qingshan Sect has yet to reveal?
The master stood in the air and said loudly: "If you don't enter the Taixuan, you won't become an immortal."
Lu He immediately trembled, knelt on the ground, and bowed to Qing Hao in the air: "I hope the master will accept me as his disciple, Lu He is willing to serve me from behind the saddle. I will definitely enter Taixuan in this life!"
Seeing that Lu He was determined, Qinghao slowly landed in front of him and helped him up.
"There is no need to become a disciple. Brother Lu is the governor, and I am not much older than him. You and I are still brothers."
In the winter of the 523rd year of the Great Xia Dynasty, Lu He, the governor of Xishu County, secretly worshiped the Qingshan Sect, and was ranked in the "Qing" generation, with the Taoist name Qinghe.
…
Lu He has been studying literature since he was a child and has no foundation in martial arts. Fortunately, I have been pampered for a long time, free from illness and disaster, and in good health. The master asked his eldest disciple Yuan Yu to teach Lu He the basics of martial arts, such as squatting on horseback, jumping into sand pits, and lifting heavy objects... to improve Lu He's physical fitness. This is also the most basic content of "Qingshan Ti Zong Shu". At the same time, he was taught the most basic sword moves in "Qingshan Sword Technique", so that he could gradually become familiar with each sword move and sword posture.
At night, Lu He was asked to directly practice the "Qingshan Taixuan Sutra". Dynamic and static exercises can be practiced at the same time without conflict. Even if you don't practice physical skills and only practice quiet skills, given time and opportunity, you can probably reach the realm of Taixuan. But he can't fight, he doesn't know swordsmanship, his posture is clumsy, and it is very likely that he will not be able to survive three catastrophes of thunder and will not die a good death, and he will not even live to be a hundred and fifty years old... Such a Taixuan realm is coming. What’s the use!
Time always flies. More than a month passed in the blink of an eye.
At this time, Lu He had made little progress. Apart from being stronger and looking younger, he had no other gains. But this is normal. Being a monk halfway through the process always requires time and effort to polish it.
Seeing that Lu He was obsessed with practicing all day long, Qinghao urged him to return to Xishu County to take a look. After all, it is not good to be absent from a position of authority for a long time without permission.
Lu He reluctantly returned to Xishu County. After spending a few days away, they returned to Tianshu Cave. Qinghao couldn't do anything with him.
This was repeated several times, and after half a year, Lu He gradually got on the right track. Whether it is the Qingshan sword technique or the lifting technique, they have already caught up with the disciples of the "Yu" generation! In terms of progress, with the blessing of Dongtian, it is quite fast. If you were outside, even if you started practicing all over again in your prime, it would take five or six years to reach the level of the worst disciple of the Yu generation. At this time, the disciples of the Yu generation did not know that Qingshan Sect had an additional Qinghe elder. If they knew it, they would laugh their heads off.
You can't rush for success in everything, especially if you cultivate the Tao. What is needed is a state of mind. Fortunately, Lu He had spent half his life in officialdom and had long since developed a calm state of mind. He was not in a hurry and practiced slowly.
After another half a year, Lu He had surpassed all the disciples of the Yu generation and entered the realm of great inner strength. The punch is like the wind and the sword is like a shooting star. You can step and leap on top of trees in the forest. In the arena, he is probably a master. Lu He was very proud of his skills at the moment. Practicing in the Tianshu Cave, he really made rapid progress.
"Brother Lu, there is no way you can continue like this. You have been in Qingshan Sect for a full year and you are not in the county government all day long. Even if Gongsun Xie handles some affairs for you and covers it up, the court will know about it sooner or later." Qinghao practiced in Lu He When practicing swordsmanship, walk up to him and give him a hint. Compared with the title Elder Qinghe, it is easier to call him Brother Lu.
"What the head brother said is true. I will go back to the county, draft a resignation letter, and return to the sect to devote myself to cultivating Taoism."
Lu He had lunch and took a rest. He hastily packed a baggage, wore a green robe, put a Maoyou hairpin in his hair, and set out on the road with his sword. At the foot of the mountain, he rode a horse at the post station and galloped towards Xishu County in the east... The Qingshan Sect was not far away from Xishu County itself. For 500 miles, he changed horses at the post station and arrived at the west gate of the county in half a day. It's Hai hour now.
Lu He suddenly became childlike. He tied the horse's reins to a big tree on the side of the official road and let the horse eat grass and rest. Taking advantage of the night, he took several ups and downs and headed north into the forest. After dozens of ups and downs, he arrived at the moat. Seeing no one around, he gathered his strength and jumped across the ten-foot-wide moat, leaning against the wall. Seeing the patrolling soldiers on the city wall walking away, he raised his spirits and landed on the three-foot-high city wall. Leaning against the wall and looking down, I saw that there was no one under the wall, so I jumped down. It was Haishi at this time, and every household had already turned off the lights and gone to bed. Lu He took advantage of the darkness to quickly rise and fall on top of the houses and buildings, heading towards the county government.
…
In the Xishu County Mansion.
Lu He flew all the way over, but no one noticed him. The defenses at all levels are useless. He finally realized what it means for a master of martial arts to attack a city like searching for something. He was still afraid. If he had not made a decisive decision and summoned the martial arts masters of Xishu to rob and kill the Jianghu people of Southern Wei, I am afraid that Xishu County would have changed hands to Southern Wei long ago. I can’t imagine the consequences that will follow. I am afraid that even if Daxia does not occupy a large area of land, there will be long-term war between the two countries and the destruction of life!
Lu He walked to the main hall and saw light coming from the window. Then he walked to the door and found Gongsun Xie burying himself in his desk and reviewing documents. I can’t help but sigh with emotion. Gongsun Xie has been following him for nearly twenty years, from the county government to the county government, never abandoning him and being loyal. He is already his right-hand man, his lifelong friend, and his good brother.
"Ahem!" Lu He stood lightly in front of the door and deliberately coughed twice.
Gongsun Xie looked up when he heard the sound and was shocked to see an elegant Taoist standing in front of him. Just as he was about to call for the troops, he realized that the person coming was actually Lu He, the governor.
"Lord Governor, why are you dressing up like this?" Gongsun Xie couldn't understand. The Governor usually came back in the daytime, and at least he had a few followers. Why did you come home in the middle of the night today and still be dressed in Taoist uniform?
"Why don't you ask me how I got in?" Lu He walked towards the teapot and poured a cup of tea. After sitting down, he drank and said, "Drink tea with me. I'm afraid you won't have many opportunities in the future."
"You are—" Gongsun Xie suddenly realized, "No one found out?"
"Yes." Lu He smiled bitterly.
"You understand why I am willing to give up my official position and pursue my immortal aspirations!"
"I finally understand my humble position now!" Gongsun Xie said with cupped hands.
"When I return home this time, I intend to draft a resignation letter. I will resign from the position of governor and devote myself to practicing Taoism."
"The person to take over has been submitted and it is you. You have worked hard for many years and you should have been in this position long ago!"
Lu He came to Gongsun Xie seriously.
"How dare you take on such an important task in a humble position!" Gongsun Xie was shocked. He stood up and bowed to Lu He, "Has the governor decided to leave?"
"I have decided to leave! The officialdom is full of intrigues and intrigues, how can there be any happiness in cultivating immortals, haha!"
"The governor has already won the fate of immortality?"
"So be it!"
"I still have my beloved wife, beloved son, and a group of maids in my mansion. The Qingshan Sect does not have a mansion yet, so it is inconvenient to move. Let's live here temporarily."
"Whatever the governor said, Lu Mansion will keep it for you forever!"
…
Six days later, a message came from the capital:
"The censor who made the imperial edict:
In a city with ten houses, there must be loyalty.
Three people walking together, there is my teacher.
In the past, Han Fu of Shu State inspected and promoted Lu He.
The most important person in the imperial examination is Luo Qi, who is the shuzu.
After many years of rule, he dedicated himself to Shu for twenty years.
The people of the county are happy and prosperous.
The thief Wei invaded Shu and made great achievements in pacifying it.
When you are in your prime of life, you should aspire to the Three Lords.
Emperor Xia is very sorry to submit the dictionary today.
Promoting Gongsun is a good and loyal person.
Leave your hometown accurately and enjoy the future generations in peace.
The salary is six hundred stones and the land is fifty hectares.
Gongsunxie is exempted from having a long history.
Governing the Western Shu County, holding the governor's order. "
Lu He finally got his wish, resigned from the post of governor of Western Shu, and devoted himself to Taoism. Gongsunxie succeeded him and continued to govern Xishu County. Lu He's family continues to live in Lu Mansion in the county, and the Qingshan Sect is stepping up efforts to build a house for him. Emperor Xia was kind-hearted, so Lu He resigned and was given a salary of 600 dan per year and 50 hectares of land. He had no need for these, so he asked Gongsun Xie to use his annual salary for poverty relief and disaster relief. As for the fields, whoever likes to plant them can do it. Qingshan Sect has a lot of fields...
Lu He's friends in the Great Xia Dynasty were all surprised when they heard that Lu He retreated from the rapids. You must know that Lu He became the governor of Western Shu at a young age and managed Western Shu very effectively. When the Southern Wei attacked Xia, Lu He cleverly planned to annihilate the entire Southern Wei army. This was a great achievement. Today the Holy Emperor is very optimistic about him. So they all came to Xishu County Mansion and asked about the reason.
Seeing that his friends cared so much about him, Lu He felt very relieved, so he simply held a small banquet at the county mansion and got drunk with his visiting friends for three days. Tell your friends where you are going. By the way, if you want to, you can join the Tao and practice together. Lu He was drunk for three days and then returned to Qingshan Sect.
…
Another half a year passed. Lu He returned to Xishu County and took his family to the Qingshan Sect. Gongsun Xie accompanied him all the way. After settling everyone down, Gongsun Xie was unwilling to leave. He knew that once he left, he might not see the old man again a few times in his life. So he stayed with Lu He and his family in Qingshan Sect for a few days. In the end, he was driven away by Lu He. The relationship between master and servant for more than 20 years has become the same as that of father and son. How can we let go of it?
…
Lu He's wife's name was Han Yue, and she was the beloved daughter of Master Han, the governor of Xishu County who recommended him. Lu He and Han Yue had two sons and one daughter. At this time, the eldest son was serving as county magistrate in Baishui County under Xishu County, and the daughter was married. Her husband's family is from a famous noble family in Xuyang County. The younger son is not yet ten years old. I was originally worried that my younger son would have no school to study when he came to the Qingshan Sect. This worry was dispelled when he learned that the Qingshan Sect had a private school for the children of Qingshan Sect disciples and tenant farmers.
Lu He arranged his family in the newly built courtyard for him in the north of the sect. The courtyard is not big, with only two rooms and eight rooms. But it's enough to live in. He only brought one maid to serve his wife and beloved son. An old man who has been with him for many years looks after his home and cares for his family. The others were all left to Gongsun Xie.
After Lu He settled everyone down, he went to Tianshu Cave. Because he has not yet entered Taixuan, he has no magic power. Each time, the leader and five other people have to be brought in and taken out. Therefore, even if his family members moved to Qingshan Sect, he would be embarrassed to come and go frequently. It comes and goes once every three months.
