"You're almost four stars, so it seems like I shouldn't hesitate any longer."
When it was almost noon, I went to the wine cellar of Renjia Villa and visited the coriander for several hours before meeting Guan Luoyang and the others. I couldn't help but sigh a little when I heard about Guan Luoyang's arrival.
The girl breathed a sigh of relief, made a fist with her left hand and hit her right palm, "It's confirmed, I will leave for Shaolin today."
Anfeiyu asked in surprise: "Shaolin? Why are you suddenly planning to go there?"
"Although my kung fu is very different from the system of this world, it is inherited from the martial arts of the Pandaren. Meditation and meditation are also an important part. Shaolin is obviously the best choice."
Koran displays a rosary on the palm of her hand.
Her skin color is not fair, but the honey-colored texture on her palms still has the delicacy that is unique to a girl. It complements the antique black smooth beads and the green hemmed cuffs on her wrists.
"Actually, I had already made plans in this regard when I first arrived in Han Mansion. Old General Han fought side by side with Shaolin monks. I will lend him this token to consult with Shaolin masters. I will definitely make some progress..."
Guan Luoyang agreed: "There are still several months before we go to Chang'an. It's a good thing that you have other plans. Sharpening your sword will keep you from chopping wood."
"Of course, I won't be lazy. If the Shaolin monk can help me solve that problem as soon as possible, I will come out to meet you immediately. If things don't go well, at the latest, I will come out in early July at the latest. Come out to find you."
Gu Lanxiang put away the string of beads, made a phone call gesture with the thumb and little finger of her right hand, waved it by her cheek, and said, "From near Luoyang to the Shaolin Temple, there are stone fields, mountain peaks and valleys, etc. It is not close by walking, but In terms of straight-line distance, it actually does not exceed the contact range of our communication token."
"If you are planning to leave this area and there are any changes in your movements, remember to inform me."
Anfeiyu also accepted this decision, turned to Guan Luoyang and asked: "I will definitely stay at Zhujian Villa for a while. What about you, do you want to go to Shaolin together?"
"No, I still have some room for improvement in my internal strength. Next, I have to study the two unfinished boxing techniques. The direction is very clear. I will continue to practice here."
Guan Luoyang faced Gu Lanxiang and said, "You have to be careful when traveling alone."
Gu Lanxiang said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, weren't the three of us all reincarnation alone before? I can still take care of myself."
"Come on, let's share this gourd wine before we say goodbye."
Benedict.
Gu Lanxiang put a gourd on the table, her hair stuck to her ears, her eyes sparkling, and she said with a smile, "People in the martial arts world have a lot of work in making wine. I chatted with their managers and tasted it. …”
I drank this bottle of gourd wine for half an hour.
Gu Lanxiang enthusiastically told several stories about how people in the martial arts brewed wine. She used the white porcelain teacups that were always available in the room as wine glasses and shared the wine she mixed from the gourd herself.
The liquor tastes so smooth that even amphibians can drink it.
As soon as the wine gourd was empty, Gu Lanxiang picked up the gourd and left without saying goodbye again. Only after walking out of the door, she waved to the two people in the room with her back, and walked away smoothly.
Amphibian held the wine glass and looked at the door for a while, frowning slightly: "She left now. It's strange. Why does she seem to have forgotten something?"
Guan Luoyang's expression was as usual, he was not drunk at all. He just wanted to relax. He supported his cheek with his left hand and played with the wine glass with his right hand. He said casually: "Our little junior brother."
Anfeiyu suddenly said: "By the way, she took care of the little Taoist priest before. Now that she has run away, who will take care of the little Taoist priest?"
The threat of Qiu Ruzui is still there. If you want not to be blinded by the Tianji Jade Mirror, apart from the Grandmaster, only the Jade Snow Dragon Ring can resist it.
Previously, the snow-clearing Taoist temple was targeted by people from Huoluo Taoism, and little Taoist priest Xia Qing was needed to inspire and maintain the jade snow dragon ring. Guan Luoyang and the others had been taking the little Taoist priest with them. They had also asked Chen Shouzheng to escort Han Wengong away. , passing by Zhujian Villa, sent the little Taoist priest over.
"You don't have to think of Xia Qing as too fragile."
Guan Luoyang pointed and said, "Two rooms to the left from me is where he lives. I can hear all the noises. After moving in, except for the time when the people from the villa delivered meals, he thanked him. I just practice and read by myself. He is a very quiet and steady child."
Anfeiyu followed suit and said, "Since you don't hate children, I'll leave him in your care. I'll go and copy a few more copies of that information and keep it for future use."
Amphibian put down the empty cup and turned back to his room.
Guan Luoyang supported his face with one hand and maintained this posture, leaning on the table, closing his eyes and resting for a while.
After hearing the sound of Xia Qing finishing breathing, he went out and knocked on the door of the little Taoist priest.
The little Taoist priest got off the bed, pulled on his shoes, and hurriedly opened the door: "Please come in...Second Senior Brother!"
His height was so coincidental that when he looked up and showed an expression of surprise, Guan Luoyang couldn't help but touch his head.
Unfortunately, the Taoist priest's wooden hairpin didn't feel very good in his hand. Guan Luoyang touched it twice and then put it on his shoulder.
"You left your hometown and followed us everywhere during this period. Do you feel any discomfort?"
The little Taoist priest was supported by him and walked inside. He shook his head and said, "No, I am in good health, and the food I eat in the big house before and here now is delicious."
"That's good."
Guan Luoyang took him to the table and sat down.
The little Taoist priest looked at him, inexplicably feeling that the second senior brother had not finished what he had just said, and there seemed to be many more words to follow.
"Is Second Senior Brother here to check your homework?"
"Well, don't worry, your senior sister has to go away for something. You probably won't be able to see her recently. If you have any thoughts in your mind, you can tell me."
Guan Luoyang originally wanted to say a lot, such as asking the little Taoist priest what he thought about his future life, what his goals were, whether he liked to practice martial arts, and whether he wanted to learn more, but after thinking about it, it was all nonsense.
After a child has experienced so many changes recently, if you insist on asking him such long-term thoughts, it will serve no purpose other than causing him more troubles.
Guan Luoyang skipped those steps directly.
"I see that you still have a lot of free time after practicing your internal skills every day, so just set aside two hours to learn moves from me in the yard. Do you want to learn in the morning or in the afternoon?"
Anyway, he himself has to figure out the last two moves of the Bai Family Holy Fist, so the time he spends teaching the children should be used to relax.
Upon hearing this, the little Taoist priest became even more happy. After thinking about it for a moment, he said, "Can one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon be okay?"
Guan Luoyang nodded: "Okay, it's up to you to decide the specific time, but you have to remember that you are not allowed to be late after you set the time, otherwise I will punish you."
The little Taoist priest responded quickly: "Then if I perform well, will there be a prize?"
Guan Luoyang smiled and said: "That's okay. If you learn quickly, I can also consider teaching you a very powerful boxing technique, one that is more powerful than the master."
He rolled his eyes and added, "There can also be other prizes, such as snacks you like to eat."
"good!!"
The little Taoist priest was full of energy and devoted himself to a more fulfilling life.
In the following days, many guests arrived at Zhujian Villa.
Under the recommendation of Wu Weiyang, the second young master of Zhujian Villa, Anfeiyu and these people have some understanding of each other. Many people have claimed to be willing to contribute to the matter against Huo Luo Dao. Of course, Those who really actively participate are only about half.
These half of the newcomers, the gangs they represented, and the gangs Anfeiyu had talked to before, quickly established channels for transmitting information to each other, set up secret codes, etc., and acted as a guide when operating in various places. echo.
While these people were gathering in the hall to discuss secretly, there was a loud noise outside.
Wu Weiyang took a few steps toward the door with a very unhappy look on her face and asked what was going on.
The steward walked over quickly: "They are distinguished guests from the Lu family in Chang'an. They must go straight to the back mountain."
The mountain behind the Sword Making Villa is where swords are made. Over the past few decades, many famous swords that can cut iron like clay, keep uprightness and ward off evil, and can scare away poisonous insects, rats, and ants even if they are not taken out of the sheath, have been produced here.
That is also the first-class important place of the Sword Making Villa, and it is heavily guarded. Especially this year, the old owner Wu Pingqiang has been staying there for several months for the last step of sword making, and no outsiders are allowed to disturb him.
Even before, when Che Jinfeng came to ask for help and caused many experts to temporarily leave the Sword-making Villa, no one bothered Wu Pingqiang.
Unexpectedly, today's group of guests clearly hold invitations, but they are so disrespectful.
Everyone in the room walked out one after another. When Jiang Jiusi heard this, he blurted out: "Could it be Lu Pingdong?"
The steward nodded repeatedly: "That's the one."
Amphibian didn't know why, so he turned his eyes and found that after hearing this name, everyone around them had a look of "that's it" and a slight look of disgust on their faces.
Jiang Jiusi shook his head and said, "It's him, so it's not surprising."
Wu Weiyang had already walked towards the road leading to the back mountain. Everyone's secret conversation was interrupted, so naturally he wanted to follow him to see what happened.
While walking, Anfeiyu quietly asked Jiang Jiusi, and then he knew who Lu Pingdong was.
During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was a saying of five surnamed families, which refers to "King Li Cui Lu Zheng". These five families have a long history, profound foundation and great power. Each family has produced numerous ministers and famous generals. They have gone through troubled times and still have not declined. , among all the aristocratic families, they can be regarded as the top group.
Until the Zhenguan period, the imperial court imposed restrictions on these five families, and the implementation of the imperial examination gradually became effective. Emperor Gaozong made more efforts to crack down on these noble families who controlled their opinions, and finally made these families restrain themselves.
The Lu family has Lu Zhi, a great scholar in the late Han Dynasty, as its ancestor and has a prominent family. However, since the transition to the Tang Dynasty, it has been quiet for many years. A few decades ago, it even reached the point where some people wanted to engage in business farming and divide the family property.
It wasn't until the brothers Lu Gu'an and Lu Pingdong reached the level of first-class masters one after another, especially after Lu Gu'an gained promotion in the court and took the position of Minister of Household Affairs, that the Lu family became somewhat prosperous again.
However, Lu Pingdong, in addition to being a first-class expert, must also have a ridiculous evaluation in the minds of many people.
These two brothers were hated, criticized, and framed by other legitimate brothers, and their actions were even worse than their enemies. Lu Pingdong kept this in mind and always wanted to put an end to this sad brotherly dispute at its root.
Therefore, after the two brothers came to power, Lu Pingdong made a decision not to allow the Lu family's sons to raise the bastards they left behind with their concubines, maids, etc.
Because of his tough attitude and high martial arts skills, no one dared to disobey him. Therefore, in the cold winter, all the children, ranging from children as young as three or four years old to teenagers as young as twelve or thirteen years old, were expelled from the house. , I really didn’t even have any face, and it made people talk a lot.
You must know that at that time, the Lu family was just showing signs of revival. The concubines and concubines were originally members of the family, and each had their own uses. After all, they were not comparable to others. Most aristocratic families at this time just hated that they did not have enough children.
Therefore, after the news of Lu Pingdong's decision spread, the people disliked him for being cold and cold, and the aristocratic families laughed at him for being short-witted.
It was only a few months later that Lu Gu'an heard about this incident and rushed back from Chang'an to recall his children who had been living abroad. Because of this incident, Lu Gu'an was so angry that he almost moved the entire Lu family to I went to Chang'an, so I can keep an eye on him easily.
After crossing a stone bridge across the river, Anfeiyu saw two groups of people standing in a stalemate on the grass over there from a distance.
On one side are the disciples of the Sword Making Villa, all wearing the same style of clothes.
Most of the dozen or so people on the other side were dressed as servants, except for the leader, who wore a jade crown and a crane cloak, and a long sword at his waist. His figure stood as tall as a pine tree, with an air of arrogance on his face.
"Mr. Lu Er came from afar, and Weiyang didn't come to greet him. It's really the fault of a younger generation."
Wu Weiyang put a smile on his face, and walked over from a distance, saying, "Hurry, hurry, hurry up, follow this junior to the hall, let me set up a banquet to apologize, and also to cleanse Mr. Lu Er's dust."
Lu Pingdong held the hilt of the sword with his left hand and glanced at the group of people who followed Wu Weiyang. He only paused slightly for Jiang Jiusi and turned a blind eye to the others. He shook his head and said: "Wei Yang is too polite."
"But Lu came today because he has a huge matter. He has to talk to the person in charge of Zhujian Villa. People in your family are so ignorant that they don't want me to see Brother Wu. Well, since you are here, Go and call Brother Wu."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone in Zhujian Villa changed slightly and they were very unhappy.
Wu Pingqiang, the old owner of Zhujian Villa, originally had three sons. Unfortunately, the eldest son contracted an illness from his mother's womb and died young. The third son was young and energetic. He made enemies in the world and was beheaded to death. Only Wu Weiyang was left. A descendant.
In recent years, this second young master has been in charge of the external affairs of the villa, and his prestige in the minds of the people in the villa has almost caught up with the old owner.
Lu Pingdong's words were arrogant and he didn't take Wu Weiyang seriously at all, and he didn't even have much respect for Wu Pingqiang.
The smile on Wu Weiyang's face also faded, and he said: "Mr. Lu Er, I have heard for a long time that the Lu family is good at cultivating the mind and calming down the martial arts. Not long ago, there will be a famous sword competition in our village. At that time, my father Of course he will come forward, surely the masters of the Lu family can’t even wait for this little time, right?”
Lu Pingdong said arrogantly: "Huh, Lu has good intentions and wants to see your father first, otherwise I'm afraid you won't have time to prepare for the Famous Sword Tournament."
