In Lu Pingdong's words, in his own opinion, they were really well-intentioned and did not contain any malice.
It just sounded threatening to others, as if he was going to deliberately mess up the Famous Swords Tournament if he was not allowed to go to the back mountain today.
Wu Weiyang's face became darker, he smiled, took two steps forward, and said with a tough attitude: "Please Mr. Lu Er, come with me to the lobby to catch the wind and wash away the dust."
Although the Lu family has signs of revival, the operation of the Zhujian Villa is not in vain. For decades, in addition to making friends with wealthy people at famous sword competitions, the children of the Zhujian Villa will also help the generals of the Iron Clothes Hall on weekdays. Officials, forging some high-quality swords and hidden weapons, which have a certain relationship with both the government and the opposition.
If Lu Er really dared to break in today, Wu Weiyang would also dare to use his men to stop him.
Seeing that the atmosphere on both sides was getting more and more tense, Jiang Jiusi shook his head in the crowd, finally moved forward, and laughed loudly: "Uncle Lu, if there is really urgent news of this serious matter, you have worked so hard to come here, We can’t just waste it in vain, why not reveal a little to Brother Wu first, and then let him decide whether to invite the old hero Wu out in advance.”
"Hmph, forget it, I shouldn't argue with you juniors..."
Lu Pingdong saw him come out to speak, and the arrogance on his face also added a bit of solemnity. Then he looked at Wu Weiyang, curled his fingers in a contemptuous manner, and said, "Come here, I will say a few words to you."
Wu Weiyang remained motionless and said numbly: "If there is anything to talk about in the wilderness, why don't you, Mr. Lu Er, follow me to the study first?"
Lu Pingdong felt a wave of bad breath welling up in his heart, and suddenly laughed loudly. The air around him buzzed and vibrated with his laughter, and the sound echoed endlessly.
He simply didn't look at Wu Weiyang and said directly to the back mountain: "Brother Wu, Lu Pingdong is here to visit. Why are you still hiding in the back mountain and refusing to come out to meet?"
Wu Weiyang's expression was indifferent, as if he was not worried at all that his powerful voice transmission would alarm Mr. Wu.
Everyone looked up and saw that on the road leading to the back mountain, the disciples guarding the mountain drew their swords out of their sheaths.
Their swords each have seven holes, and when they are unsheathed, there seems to be no sound, and there is a faint sound of swords lingering.
Jiang Jiusi and the others were all masters, and they could clearly feel that the sound wave carried by Lu Pingdong's internal power was weakened wave by wave after the sword chants of these disciples guarding the mountain.
Without being able to reach the back mountain at all, the power that originally shook the mountains has become as lonely and silent as a breeze.
"Fixing Wind Sword!"
Jiang Jiusi praised in his mouth and gently touched his palms. He was a first-class swordsman who became famous at a young age. He was also a lover of swords. He was familiar with the famous swordsman sword formations in today's martial arts world. "I heard that the Dingfeng Sword of Zhujian Villa was made in that year." Become famous among the hundreds of thousands of mountains in the southwest."
"The demon sect's pharmacists rely on their knowledge of the landscape, terrain, and wind direction to spread the poisonous miasma and kill the army with poison."
"Old hero Wu took the initiative to ask for help. The disciples of the Sword-making Villa each held a wind-fixing sword and stood in front of the military tent. They used their skills to fire the sword and deflect the wind, causing the poisonous miasma to spread in front of the three armies. This is a great achievement."
"Unexpectedly, this Wind-Fixing Sword Formation actually affects the sound. It's really mysterious."
Anfeiyu moved his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Jiusi.
When this young swordsman participated in the secret talks before, he was gentle, polite, and taciturn. It almost made people forget that he was a rare first-class master. Now he suddenly spoke at such a long length. I am afraid that he was deliberately reminding Lu Pingdong of the achievements of the Sword Forging Villa. So that Lu Er would be afraid.
This man does not seem to have the arrogance brought about by such a young man, such a family background, and the reputation of being the best swordsman in the Eastern Capital. Instead, he always has a habit of caring for others. He is really a rare person.
Although Lu Pingdong was ridiculous, he was not stupid. How could he not understand this meaning? He immediately said: "Those who conquered the southwest are all elite soldiers. Each of them has the internal skills of holding one's breath for more than a quarter of an hour. They can also rely on their strength." Breaking through the smog and poisonous miasma, there are at most some hidden dangers."
"As for this mere sword formation, it is even less certain that it can block Lu's sound transmission method."
He was so confident that everyone hesitated for a moment.
I saw a figure gradually walking on the green hillside of the back mountain.
When the man first appeared, there was still a bit of mist around his body, but soon the mist dissipated, revealing a gray hair bun, a thick short beard, and a blacksmith's coarse cloth jacket, with his arms and chest They are all exposed, and there are many scars on the old muscles and bones, but they are still strong.
Wu Weiyang saw this person and hurried over to greet him.
"Dad, did Lu Er still disturb you?"
"His kung fu seems to have improved in the past few years, and his inner strength is so feminine that you can't completely cut it off."
Wu Pingqiang explained casually and walked forward for a while. He first saluted Jiang Jiusi and others with clasped fists, then looked at Lu Pingdong, "Brother Lu, it's been a long time. It's rare to come to my Sword Forging Villa. Why don't you go inside and sit for a while? ?”
When he came forward, Lu Pingdong laughed and left with him.
Wu Weiyang couldn't bear to neglect the other guests, so she could only stay, apologize to everyone who had been disturbed before, and then invite them back.
Wu Pingqiang took Lu Pingdong to the study. Dozens of people from the Villa and the Lu family's servants were standing guard outside.
After the maid served tea and retired, Wu Pingqiang asked someone to sit down. There was still a little tiredness on his face and he said, "Brother Lu, what's the urgent matter? You can talk about it now, right?"
Lu Pingdong finally stopped pretending: "Lu heard that the Sword Casting Villa will have a magic weapon achievement. As the finale of this year's Famous Sword Conference, my Lu family wants to exchange this magic weapon in advance, so we are anxious to see the owner of the village. , so that you have time to find another treasure as the finale, so as not to ruin the reputation of the Famous Sword Conference."
Wu Pingqiang didn't seem to care about his domineering tone and took a slow sip of tea.
Lu Pingdong smelled the aroma and immediately recognized that this was the purple bamboo shoot tea with reputations such as "the peonies laugh and the gold sparkles, and the purple bamboo shoots of Wuxing are heard" and "the purple bamboo shoots under the bamboo forget the words, and the feather guests are drunk by the flowing clouds". He made the tea. The water must be the top-grade mountain spring water in tea books. I couldn't help but feel a little moved, and I picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
This is the recipe for Zisha Huguo Tea. Among the various tea soups of the Tang Dynasty, it is an extremely simple one. It does not require too many spices, heat, salt and sugar, and only requires two-thirds of the tender wild vegetable leaves. Add one-third of the tea leaves and mix carefully to make a soup with a bright green color and a refreshing and elegant taste.
“Good tea.”
Lu Pingdong's tongue was slightly sweet, and he felt refreshed. The restlessness and unhappiness caused by being blocked several times in the past had also disappeared.
Wu Pingqiang said at this time: "Since ancient times, swords have been given to heroes. After this magical weapon is cast, heroes from all walks of life must be announced at the famous sword conference so that the sword master can be selected for the magical weapon."
"I have spent my life making swords. This magical weapon is probably the highest masterpiece of my life's hard work. It will never be surpassed in the future. I only ask that the person who obtains the sword will not dishonor this weapon, but I cannot talk about the exchange hastily."
Lu Pingdong laughed and said: "Giving a sword to a hero is a good idea, but most of the masters in the world today have their own magic weapons. Apart from the masters, who else can be called a hero more than my eldest brother."
In recent years, Lu Gu'an has long been known as the number one master below Grandmaster, but unfortunately he has never truly passed the final level.
In the Battle of Southwest that year, the imperial court lost two grandmasters, Cui Lingfang and Su Xing. Once Lu Guan truly stepped into the realm of grandmaster, he would probably be able to ascend to the position of prime minister soon.
A magic weapon that has not been contaminated by the artistic conception of other masters is likely to help Lu Guan break the last hurdle, so the Lu family will definitely show enough sincerity.
However, Wu Pingqiang didn't think they could impress him. Lu Gu'an, whom he had never met before, was already quite old after all. In Wu Pingqiang's mind, that person might not be as good as a promising young man like Jiang Jiusi.
Lu Pingdong said a few empty words, but when he saw that he was unmoved, he took out a small box that was about an inch square and said: "Of course, in order to exchange for the magic weapon, there must be a treasure that can be compared with it. This Moonlight Elixir , is the sincerity of my Lu family."
Wu Pingqiang casually glanced at the box and said with a smile: "Elixir? Laojunshan requires seventeen strange medicines and a master to watch the furnace to master the Sun and Moon Treasure Pill. One pill can give a person fifty years of Taoism." Authentic and pure skills, from third-rate to first-rate, there is no obstacle, and I dare not call it an elixir."
Lu Pingdong said confidently: "Although the Sun and Moon Treasure Pill is a rare and top-quality treasure in the world, it may not have such an effect."
While he was speaking, he spread his left hand and suddenly pecked it with his right hand. The last section of the little finger of his left hand was broken off by the peck. The wound was blood red and the bones were visible, but no blood flowed out.
Wu Pingqiang was also shocked by this sudden act of self-mutilation.
Lu Pingdong's face did not change at all. Looking at his surprised expression, he seemed very proud. He picked up the small broken finger, rubbed it on the wound, and rubbed it twice. When he took his right hand away again, the little finger of his left hand was already gone. In mint condition.
Wu Pingqiang's eyes widened: "This..."
Lu Pingdong raised his left hand and bent his little finger. It was as flexible as if he had never been injured.
In fact, the vitality of first-class masters is already extraordinary. With the operation of internal energy, it is not even difficult to temporarily reattach a severed finger or even a broken arm.
However, the limbs connected in this way will definitely not be able to be used freely for a long time. The meridians need to be slowly dredged, and in the process, the loss of internal energy is definitely not small.
As for Lu Pingdong's finger, not only did it heal so quickly, but the internal energy in his body remained unchanged, as if there was no loss of Qi at all.
Wu Pingqiang stared at the finger, composed himself, and said, "Brother Lu, have you taken the Moonlight Elixir?"
"Yes. This elixir is a secret that is not passed down from my Lu family. It is very precious, but it is not as difficult to copy as the Sun and Moon Baozhao elixir."
Lu Pingdong's arrogance was palpable, "This elixir is so mysterious that for a first-rate person, it takes three pills before you can have the miraculous power of inner strength and instant healing. But for a second-rate person, as long as you have one, you can show it." It has a similar magical effect. If you take a few more pills, it is said that you can even regain your youth and become immortal."
"In exchange for your village's magic weapons, our Lu family is willing to give you five elixirs."
With this amount, if Wu Pingqiang is still not at ease, he can let others take this elixir first and observe the follow-up.
Anyway, Lu Pingdong is very confident. After Mr. Wu takes the elixir, he will know the benefits of this thing. With this introduction, not only will the magic weapon belong to the Lu family, but the entire Sword Forging Villa may even become the Lu family's. tribesmen.
Wu Pingqiang pondered for a moment and said, "I have to think about it."
"Okay, this elixir will be used as a deposit first."
Lu Pingdong pushed the small box forward and said with a smile, "Brother Wu, please think about it as soon as possible, before it is too late to arrange a replacement for the Famous Sword Tournament."
He stepped out of the study room with great ambition.
Wu Pingqiang stared at the box.
After a while, Wu Weiyang came to the study.
"Then what's urgent about Lu Er?"
After Wu Pingqiang briefly repeated it, Wu Weiyang couldn't help but feel moved, and asked with half-belief and doubt, "Is there really such an elixir in the world?"
"There are all kinds of mysteries in the Grandmaster realm and even Shattered Void. The masters of the past generations have left countless classics for this world. The Lu family has always been famous for their medical classics and martial arts. It is not surprising that they can really gain something."
Wu Pingqiang's eyes revealed a look of reminiscence, and he said, "When my father was young, he was still a disciple of the Glacier Sect. He had heard many anecdotes from his ancestors, not even talking about distant ones. He just said that the jade snow dragon ring that the ancestors cast in the past had disturbed the world. Remote sensing from thousands of miles away, confusing heavenly secrets for early warning, etc. It’s not that magic weapons are better than magic weapons.”
"As a father, until now, I still can't figure out what kind of casting method is contained in the jade snow dragon ring."
He sighed, "Alas, it's a pity that the Glacier Sect was defeated by the demon sect. The disciples were scattered and the treasure was nowhere to be found. My father led the whole village to participate in the Southwest War, and all he wanted was to find the Glacier treasure, but he still found nothing. "
"It would be nice if I could take another look at the Jade Snow Dragon Ring."
"Glacier Sect?" Wu Weiyang suddenly remembered and said, "Dad, actually a lot of things have happened recently..."
He talked about how Huo Luo Dao wanted to kill Han Wengong, and Chen Du and others went to rescue him, but were robbed and killed on the way, and then there was a big battle and so on.
The people of the Lushan Sect did not reveal the news about the Jade Snow Dragon Ring, but they mentioned that Guan Luoyang and the others were Xue Longzi's disciples.
Wu Pingqiang's expression changed after hearing this, and he stood up: "Is there such a thing? When the Lushan disciples came to ask for help, why didn't you..."
He stopped mid-sentence and slapped his hand on the desk.
The entire desk, along with the pens, inks, papers and inkstones on it, instantly froze and shattered into ice-white powder floating in the air with a crack.
"I told you not to disturb me, but I didn't make it clear. Brother Chen, luckily nothing happened to General Han."
Wu Pingqiang closed his eyes, calmed down for a while, and then said, "You said that the person from Huo Luo Dao had already broken through to the master level at that time, but he was not stable yet, but he died at the hands of Guan Luoyang?"
Wu Weiyang nodded and said: "Although there are many people surrounding and killing, Guan Luoyang is the main force. This person's martial arts is obviously beyond the average first-class master, and he is not far away from the master. What's even more rare is that he seems to be less than 30 years old. .”
"It's just that this person seems to be a little crazy and not very interested in things other than martial arts. During this period, Anfeiyu, the eldest disciple of Xue Longzi, has been involved."
Xue Longzi...
It has been so long ago that even if Wu Pingqiang was both a disciple of the Seven True Disciples back then, if he wanted to think back now, he still couldn't figure out what that junior fellow apprentice looked like decades ago.
I just vaguely remember that he was somewhat self-reliant and arrogant. After the Glacier Sect was destroyed, for a while, his name seemed to have appeared in the world, but he never came to see Wu Pingqiang, and then he disappeared without a trace.
"Junior brother hasn't learned all the kung fu yet, but he can actually teach such a brilliant disciple. It doesn't just depend on the disciple's talent. Could it be that..."
Wu Pingqiang's mind was spinning and he asked, "Where do Guan Luoyang and the others live?"
