Chapter 226 Walk out of Taixuanjing and crush the Yellow Crane Tower
Shili Changning Street, the Lu family's residence.
In the past few days, Lu Mansion has added seven or eight rooms of concubines.
The second master of the Lu family is still studying Buddhism in the Jokhang Temple. Naturally, it is not him who takes concubines, but the eldest master who has never been greedy for women.
That is the Lu Shenyuan who was once a young and vigorous man.
This matter has long been spread in Xuandu. At night, people passing by Changning Street, Shili, and in front of the Lu family's magnificent mansion. Seeing the lintel of the Lu family, they may also tease in their hearts, guessing that the eldest master of the Lu family is tonight
In which concubine's courtyard is it exactly?
It's different from what most people think.
Lu Shenyuan has taken a concubine these days. Except for the night when the concubine came in, these beautiful ladies in their late teens and early twenties have rarely seen him.
He spent most of the time in the courtyard in the east courtyard, and there wasn't even a maid beside him.
When Mrs. Lu Mansion accidentally mentioned it, she just said that the master was dedicated to practicing Buddhism and did not want to pay attention to the chores in the mansion.
The fact is...that is exactly the case.
Tonight, when Lu Jing saw immortals and fairyland in his dream, Lu Shenyuan was sitting cross-legged in the small courtyard. He looked calm, and his body was actually exuding strong white aura, filling the small courtyard, making it like a fairyland.
generally.
Lu Shenyuan was resting, just like many nights in the past.
But today... Lu Shenyuan seemed to sense something. He suddenly opened his eyes, and the white mist mixed with the blood flowing around him became much thinner.
He stood up slowly and looked up in the direction of Yanglu Street. There was a little surprise in his eyes, and then they became calm and profound.
There was an abyss brewing in his deep eyes.
"Xianhui..."
Lu Shenyuan rarely talked to himself, and a lotus gradually bloomed above his head. A thicker white mist sprouted from the lotus, and it instantly filled the small courtyard.
The next moment, a shocking scene appeared.
But I saw a plain moon hanging high in the sky, and the moon shone out its plain light, shining on the white mist in the small courtyard.
And the white mist actually reflected a scene.
In the scene... is a fairyland with mountains suspended in the sky, spiritual lights twinkling, and cranes flying into the sky.
On the highest peak of a suspended mountain, the sword immortal who had just appeared in Lu Jing's dream appeared. He looked at Lu Shenyuan from a distance.
As if Lu Shenyuan felt something, the white mist lotus above his head became more and more vibrant.
This kind of vitality did not escape out of thin air, but was injected into Lu Shenyuan's body.
Using the immortality method to cultivate immortality, a lotus of immortality bloomed on Lu Shenyuan's head. However, there is no lotus of immortality in this world, only in the fairyland in heaven!
Lu Shenyuan stood there, looking up at the sword immortal in the sky, and the sword immortal was also looking at Lu Shenyuan.
It wasn't until a long time later that Lu Shenyuan's face finally stopped looking so cold, and instead showed a smile.
The smile was a little deep, but also a little...relieved.
——
The sun is passing by in a blink of an eye outside the window, and it seems that time is rushing by, but this is also the beauty of time.
The beauty of time lies in its inevitable passage.
When the years go by, what they bring is not decay and old age, but also whether they are getting better or recovering from a serious illness.
More than two months have passed too quickly.
From the lingering days of spring to the bright sunshine of summer.
More than two months was nothing to the young Lu Jing. On the contrary, due to his cultivation these days, the pain all over his body had gradually recovered.
He was not breathing, and no one knew that Lu Jing's physical injuries had completely improved in just over two months.
As for the soul, because Lu Jing's original divine fire was damaged and he was seriously injured, the recovery was a little slower. It was not completely healed like Lu Jing's physical body, but it was mostly healed.
This is naturally due to his new immortal body and destiny, as well as Qingyue's careful care and treatment these days.
Ever since Lu Jing was able to get out of bed, he didn't sit around at home.
He still went to the library to teach, still fulfilled the responsibility of the prince's young teacher, taught the thirteen princes, and also went to the Shantang with Qing Yue to teach.
"Mr. Jing, He Yu asked me to bring this star flower. She wrote a letter to Yuxing Island before, and Luo Mingyue, the great swordsman of Yuxing Island, personally picked it and asked the Yuanshen monk to bring it.
From then on, it took more than two months before it was sent to the Nanguo Duke's Mansion."
In the library, Nan Xuehu and Lu Jing were sitting casually on a hill. There were large kapok trees here, which were full of red kapok trees.
The two sat on the ground, Lu Jing looked up at the red cotton on the tree.
I just feel that the strange flowers are blooming for a long time, and the clouds in the sky are red.
Nan Xuehu also had a star flower with green leaves and half-gold and half-black flowers in his hand.
There is also a special aura circulating on this star flower. The aura lingering around it makes it extraordinary in its own way.
"Although this flower is not as good as the strange flower that He Yu once saved my mother, it is still very precious. If you boil this flower and take it, it will definitely have a great effect on your soul's injury.
"
Nan Xuehu looked at Lu Jing in front of him and handed him the star flower in his hand.
Lu Jing's face was rosy, and the malaise of the past seemed to have been wiped away.
With Nan Xuehu's cultivation level, he has not yet refined the spirit of martial arts, and cannot perceive Lu Jing's soul with the spirit of martial arts.
From the beginning, he couldn't tell how serious Lu Jing's injuries were.
It's just that Duke Nan Lao mentioned that Lu Jing's injury was more serious than Nan Heyu's injury more than two months ago.
Nan Heyu forcibly activated Qian Xiushui with the Feathered Sword Heart, and forcibly blocked Shaozhu Kingdom's dragon-like willow branches for more than ten breaths.
It seemed that she only had a dozen breaths of time, but Nan Heyu Yuanshen was seriously injured and her Feathered Sword Heart was damaged.
That day, Nanxuehu was originally riding on Yuelong Mountain, wanting to see off his uncle Fengmian, but before he could even run three hundred miles away, he saw a stream of energy and blood sliding through the low sky like a shooting star, and a voice fell into his ears.
.
"Let's go back."
Nan Lao Guo Gong's old and tired voice reached Nan Xuehu's ears. Nan Xuehu raised his head and saw that in the red light of energy and blood, besides Nan Lao Guo Gong, there was also Nan Heyu.
At that time, Nan Heyu was already unconscious. The talented girl who used to have wisps of sword energy in her body was already as angry as a thread.
Nan Heyu returned to his home. Famous doctors came to treat him and gave him various miraculous medicines. However, it still took him five or six days to wake up. Even now, his face is pale. If he wants to recover, he will have to recuperate for a long time.
"Grandpa said that Mr. Jing's injuries were more serious than He Yu's, but for some reason... he seemed much more relaxed than He Yu."
"However...Mr. Lu Jing will have many miraculous qualities and great talents in the future. Now that he has this starry flower, he should be able to recover from his injuries faster."
Nan Xuehu thought this way.
Lu Jing glanced at the star flower in Nan Xuehu's hand, smiled at him, and said: "There is no second kind of this kind of spiritual flower even on Yuxing Island. I heard you say that Miss Nan's injuries are quite severe so far.
It's heavy, instead of giving it to me, it's better for her to take it and get better soon."
Nan Xuehu was stunned for a moment, then said immediately: "Mr. Lu Jing, He Yu and I are extremely grateful for your action last time. Without you, my uncle might have been seriously injured by the sword intent of the Qi Kingdom Sword Master.
My uncle also knew that he had a good nature. He didn't like Taixuanjing, and he had already decided to travel south to Qi. It would be extremely painful for him if he could not make the trip due to serious injuries and was restrained in the Duke's Mansion of the South.
Just because you took action..."
"No need to thank me."
Before Nan Xuehu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Jing: "You were also present when he sworn sworn vows with me. If he wants to leave, I will naturally see him off.
In fact, I no longer need this star flower. I thanked Miss Nan for my kindness and thanked her for blocking that arrow for me."
Nan Xuehu was a little helpless, but seeing Lu Jing's persistence, he could only put away the spirit flower.
"This knife...is it easy to use?"
Lu Jing asked Nan Xuehu again.
Nan Xuehu touched the big knife at his waist.
The broadsword was covered by a black scabbard, and even the handle was wrapped in a black cloth.
This knife looks quite heavy and very wide, making it inconvenient to carry around, but Nan Xuehu still wears it on his waist these days, which looks a little funny.
"It's easy to use it, but this sword mountain ghost is of extraordinary rank, and it is a soul sword. Although it is very hard and sharp, I can't exert its true power."
Nan Xuehu rubbed the handle of the knife with his big hand, hesitated, and then said to Lu Jing: "Mr. Jing, with my current cultivation level, I am actually not worthy of this third-grade famous sword... I accept your famous sword, and I feel guilty in my heart."
"Why should I feel guilty?" Lu Jing pointed to the horse in the distance.
Under the kapok trees in the distance, a white horse was eating those kapok trees with its head raised high.
If you look carefully, even in the daytime, there is a faint jade-colored light shining on the white horse.
"This horse was given to me by Brother Feng Mian. Although this Daoshan Ghost fell into my hands, it was actually his trophy. Among the many disciples of the Duke of Nanguo, he is the only one who likes you.
Now that Brother Feng Mian has left Taixuanjing, I am your elder, so I will give this sword to you on his behalf, so you don’t have to worry too much."
"Although the Mountain Ghost is a third-grade Yuan Shen sword, the power of the sword can be greatly increased if the magical power of the sword falls into it. In addition, the Yuan Shen monk can hold this sword and drive the mountain ghost. If it flows into the rivers and lakes, it will cause a bloody storm.
But in addition, it comes from Baigui Mountain. I don’t know what kind of material it is made of. The blade is light, but it can also absorb blood. It cuts iron silently and is unstoppable. If you hold this sword to defend against enemies, it will be better than yours.
The fifth-grade snow-drinking knife is more powerful."
"And...this mountain ghost is a bit special. When you condense the martial arts spirit, you may be able to use the martial arts spirit to control the mountain ghost in it."
Lu Jing claimed to be Nan Xuehu's elder.
Nan Xuehu was obviously several years older than Lu Jing. Although he felt a little strange when he heard these words, he did not refute.
The two were sitting and chatting. Wei Jingzhe, dressed as a scholar, came looking for Lu Jing with several volumes of classics in his hand.
He saw Lu Jing chatting with someone from a distance, so he waited from a distance until Lu Jing waved to him.
Wei Jingzhe came forward and saluted Lu Jing: "Sir."
Nan Xuehu saw Wei Jingzhe and nodded towards him, feeling a little surprised.
He came to the library to look for Lu Jing and had seen Wei Jingzhe several times.
But every time Nan Xuehu saw Wei Jingzhe, he could faintly feel that the energy and blood in Wei Jingzhe's body became stronger.
In just over two months, under Wei Jingzhe's resolute and square face, there was actually a mountain of Qi and blood hidden in that body!
"This Wei Jingzhe is quite a strange person."
Nan Xuehu thought this way.
Wei Jingzhe glanced sideways at Nan Xuehu, and Lu Jing casually nodded to him, indicating that it was okay.
Wei Jingzhe suddenly trembled his spine, and the little Zhuo Yaoluo climbed onto his shoulders and fell into Nan Xuehu's eyes.
"The Sophora Gang has entered Taixuanjing again, and the leader is the second leader of the Huaig Gang, who hurriedly fled Taixuanjing after the Shantang incident.
It's just that when he came this time, he seemed to be planning something.
In the past, except for a very small part of the industries operated by the Sophora Gang in Taixuan Capital, most of them were silent and have not been restarted."
"I, Zhuo Yaoluo, and the dragon were wandering through the streets and alleys of Taixuan Jingzhong. I wonder if the second leader of the Huai Gang has noticed the traces of the three of us."
Lu Jing nodded and said: "The Seventh Prince's lineage has a big grudge against me. He personally took action and manifested his magical power to kill me. In fact, he was already prepared in his heart.
He knows... I can't stay in the divine fire realm forever, and naturally there are still some accounts between me and him that need to be settled carefully."
When Nan Xuehu heard this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He felt that Lu Jing was so bold that he wanted to settle accounts with a powerful prince in broad daylight.
Lu Jing glanced at him and said with a smile: "Although I am just a small library gentleman, the Seventh Prince also has opponents in Taixuanjing, and he is not invincible."
"And...I have never had a good impression of the Sophora Gang."
In the last sentence, Xu Baiyan's figure flashed in Lu Jing's mind. He seemed to be talking to himself, or to Nan Xuehu and Wei Jingzhe.
Nan Xuehu avoided mentioning the Seventh Prince, but then mentioned the Huai Gang.
"I heard from Yue Xiang that the Nanguo Government's properties are spread throughout Dafu, and they have repeatedly dealt with the Sophora Gang in many poor and weak places.
Especially in the past seven or eight years, the power of the Huai Gang has been growing rapidly, and the three leaders were once powerful men who were famous all over the world.
It is rumored that the great master is the prince of Dongnu Kingdom who was destroyed by King Chong'an with the Heavenly Halberd. Many years ago, like the ancient prince of Qi Kingdom in Hengshan Mansion, he came to Taixuan Capital as a hostage."
"But at that time, the Holy King was like the sun in the sky, and King Chong'an's energy and blood went straight into the sky, and he could even turn into a great sun of energy and blood, shining high on the world.
At that time, the 80,000 tiger-riding troops under the command of King Chong'an were invincible. Even if the prince of Dongnu Kingdom entered Taixuanjing as a hostage, Dongnu Kingdom would not escape the end of destruction...
Later, due to King Chong'an's intercession, the prince was no longer under house arrest by the Dafu court, and he disappeared from sight.
Several decades later, the locust trees spread all over the world, and it was widely rumored that the former prince of the Eastern Lady Kingdom was the great master."
Nan Xuehu spoke eloquently.
Wei Jingzhe on the side smiled and said: "The character of King Chong'an is unpredictable. He led 80,000 tiger-riding troops to destroy Dongnu Kingdom Zuo. He didn't hold back the slightest bit, but he was willing to fight for the Dongnu Kingdom who survived in Taixuan Jing.
The prince begs for mercy."
Nan Xuehu's eyes also showed reverence: "King Chong'an is a living legend to us and other warriors in the world.
It’s just that now...the legends of the past will also have their vitality and blood dry up one day, and maybe the Heavenly Halberd that has disappeared from the sun will become dusty."
"The Prince of Chong'an, Yu Dongshen, is said to be comparable to the Marquis of Zhongshan. Maybe he can inherit the Heavenly Halberd." Lu Jing said.
The three of them chatted for a long time, until a burst of green smoke rose in the distance. Lu Jing then stood up, said goodbye to the two of them, and walked towards the distant smoke.
In the smoke, a bearded man named Chu Kuangren, who was rarely seen wearing Mr. Guanqi's robe, used his green jade staff to skewer some meat, lit a fire in the forest, and was grilling meat.
Lu Jing walked to the bonfire. Kuangren Chu took the green jade staff rather roughly, took a large piece of meat from it and handed it to Lu Jing.
Lu Jing took a bite and felt the aroma overflowing, leaving a sweet taste in his mouth.
"Senior, what kind of meat is this?"
"I passed by Xuanhua Garden today and saw a few deer running past, so I shot one back."
When Lu Jing heard this answer, the corner of his mouth moved slightly. He looked at the senior who was focusing on the barbecue in front of him and didn't know how to answer the question.
Xuanhua Garden is a royal garden located behind Taixuan Palace, with the Zhutai River flowing through it.
Lu Jing had seen this senior in this forest several times, but he never knew his identity.
"Mr. Guanqi's clothes are too small and they don't fit me well. They are uncomfortable.
If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have dragged Lao Jiu out to drink yesterday."
"Every time Lao Jiu gets drunk, he talks about that green mountain and the knife in his hand, which makes my ears feel calluses..."
While Chu Kuangren was talking, he took another piece of meat from the green jade staff and ate it with a big mouthful, and his voice became muffled.
"Senior, where have Mr. Guanqi been for the past two months?"
Lu Jing squatted next to Kuangren Chu, eating meat with Kuangren Chu, and also told him the reason for his visit.
He came to look for the smoke just to ask this senior who had a close relationship with Mr. Guanqi where Mr. Guanqi had been for more than two months.
Kuangren Chu didn't answer, then he looked up at the sky and said, "Don't worry, he will be back soon."
Lu Jing had some doubts in his heart. It was said that Mr. Guanqi had rarely left the library in recent years except to visit friends in Xuandu.
But this time, it has been more than two months since Mr. Guanqi left. In the past, Lu Jing wanted to see Mr. Guanqi, so he could go to the library at any time to see him. But now there is no one on the fifth floor of the Self-cultivation Tower, which makes Lu Jing a little bit
Not used to it.
When he heard the words of the mysterious senior in front of him again, he felt relieved.
"Do you know that Mr. Guanqi thinks highly of you?" Chu Kuangren suddenly asked.
Lu Jing nodded without thinking too much.
Madman Chu didn't even look back and continued: "He never accepted you as his disciple, but in fact, he led you into Taoism. He is also there in places you haven't seen yet."
"Over the years, Mr. Guanqi has been sitting in the library, seemingly unchanged as before. In fact, there are not many things and people that can catch his eye.
You entering the library is actually a good thing for Mr. Guanqi."
"It's just... when you can reach the sky alone one day, don't forget Mr. Guanqi."
"Mr. Guanqi has never been willing to force himself on you, nor is he willing to force his ideas on you, but I am his good friend, and I still want to advise you. If you have leisure and spare energy in the future, you must do it.
Do something Mr. Chess Watch would do."
"What Mr. Guanqi would do..." Lu Jing was thoughtful, and suddenly noticed that the tone of the senior in front of him seemed a little depressed.
But before he had time to think about it, Kuangren Chu looked at the sky again and said with a smile: "In two or three tea breaks, he will leave the palace. If you want to see him, you can wait for him outside Taixuan Palace.
"
When Chu Kuangren said this, he shook his head again and said in a determined tone: "Go wait for him."
…
Since two months ago, another guest has arrived in Taixuan Palace.
Over the years, this special guest has actually been a frequent visitor to Taixuan Palace.
From time to time, he would come to Taixian Palace and play a few games of chess with the Chief Assistant.
Only this time, this pale and stiff-looking young man came to Taixuan Palace and stayed for two full months.
It is still Taixian Hall.
Jiang Baishi was wearing a white court dress with a strange beast delicately embroidered on it.
The strange beast is called Taotie, and it has not been born for a long time. Many practitioners even suspect that this Taotie is a fairy beast in the sky and has never come to the mortal world.
Jiang Baishi's face showed exhaustion, his eyes were bloodshot, and even his breathing was very disordered and intermittent.
There was a chessboard in front of him and the pale boy.
On the chessboard, black and white are intertwined, the stars are hidden, and giant dragons are fighting, which also vaguely contains the mystery of the universe and the long time.
The mystery of the universe is that under the passage of time, Jiang Baishi found a path of no return, but the pale young man erected a city gate to firmly lock the dragon on the path of no return.
Chengguan and Dalong faced off and reached a deadlock.
This game of chess was played for two months...
Jiang Baishi is old and has never practiced spiritual practice. If it weren't for the palace's miraculous medicine, he would never have been able to sleep for two months.
"Shiraishi's first assistant has improved his chess skills again."
"This round... it will be a draw."
The stiff-looking young man stood up, the green mark on his eyebrows still faintly visible, and there was a rare smile on his face.
"I am really happy that Shiraishi Shofu has fallen into the world this time. I hope I can play against Shoushi next time I come here."
The young man's voice echoed in Taixian Hall, but his figure had long since disappeared.
Jiang Baishi closed his eyes deeply, then stood up and tremblingly walked out of Taixian Hall.
He stood in front of the Taixian Hall, and the sunlight from the sky shone on his face, making him a little more angry.
At this time, Mr. Guanqi walked out of the inner hall of Taixian Hall and stood beside Jiang Baishi.
"Sir, have you seen this chess game clearly?"
Mr. Guanqi's expression was as usual, his long sleeves were hanging down, and he took a careful look at Jiang Shoufang: "Shoufu wants to reach the sky in one step, so as to show the overall situation?"
Jiang Shoufu looked at Mr. Guanqi in amazement and asked: "Sir, I laid out the path of no return, but I wonder if Immortal Que could clearly see the one step in the path of no return that day that leads to the sky?"
Mr. Guanqi lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "Perhaps Immortal Tianque saw it, but he only thought it was the ambition of the chief minister.
The First Assistant Master has no cultivation body and cannot sense the soul. If he wants to reach the sky with his immortal energy, in the eyes of Immortal Tianque, there is nothing wrong with him."
When Jiang Shoufu heard Mr. Guanqi's words, he solemnly turned around. The current chief minister, who was inferior to one person but above ten thousand people, dragged his old body and saluted Mr. Guanqi.
"Sir, please watch the chess game. Thank you for your help, sir."
Mr. Guanqi shook his head slightly.
The two of them walked side by side towards the outside of the palace.
The two walked for a long time, but they saw court officials coming together from a distance.
Among them were high-ranking officials, generals with military exploits, and even some young heroes, heading towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony in a hurry.
Mr. Guanqi came with Jiang Shoufu and immediately fell into the eyes of many people.
"It's Mr. Shofu."
"Huh? The one who is accompanying Mr. Shouxian is Bai Guanqi from the library?"
"It's Bai Guanqi. When did he enter the palace?"
"This will save time and effort, so we will take him to see the Holy Lord together. He is a library gentleman, but he does not abide by the rules of the library. He dares to hang thunder in the prince's mansion, not to mention damaging the dignity of the royal family.
I wonder if Bai Guanqi takes the prince’s bloodline seriously!”
A smile appeared in Jiang Shoufu's eyes. He turned his head and said to Mr. Guanqi: "You and I have been in the Taixian Palace for two months. I think these people have been handing out discounts in the past two months. I want to let you know."
The Holy King will blame you."
"Because of your identity as husband and the reputation of the library, they don't dare to use other means. It's no coincidence that today, these people came together in groups and wanted to see the Holy Lord to read your book, and they happened to bump into you again."
Mr. Guanqi said without changing his expression: "It's a bit of an accident."
When the old Jiang Baishi heard Mr. Guanqi's tone, he thought of something, and the smile on his face gradually faded away.
He had heard Mr. Guanqi's tone today a long time ago.
That time, Mr. Guanqi walked out of Taixuanjing and smashed the Yellow Crane Tower, which had shocked the world for a long time.
Now that I think about it, it has been too long since that incident.
Many people who have been in Xuandu for a long time have forgotten the reputation of Mr. Guanqi.
