Chapter 42 The young man is as gentle as a jade gentleman watching chess without saying a word
With one breath, he spit out the sword light for three thousand miles, slashed the twelve autumns with one sword across the sky, and cut off the snow in the world!
Lu Jing listened to Ning Qiang's words silently, and couldn't help but think of the day when Shengzi introduced him to the nine realms of martial arts, she also mentioned the sword-wielding Confucian scholar and the drinker who sealed the demon and ordered the demon.
Lu Jing didn't know what kind of person the Confucian scholar who could kill twelve autumns with a sword of three thousand miles was, nor did he know where the drinker who sealed the demon and commanded the demon came from.
But in his heart, he was extremely interested in these many legendary figures.
He was about to ask.
Miss Lonicera next to Ning Qiang suddenly turned her head and looked outside the door, seemingly seeing something.
After about a few breaths, a young boy in Tsing Yi walked over from the corner of the boulevard outside the courtyard.
Lu Jing raised his eyebrows slightly and couldn't help but glance at Lin Rendong from the corner of his eye.
"You can detect someone coming from such a distance. This Lin Rendong is not just an ordinary rich lady."
If you think about it carefully, Lin Rendong's father is also famous in Dafu. He is a first-class Yuanshen monk, and the strong men in the world respect him when they hear his name.
Being born into such a prominent family, it is naturally impossible not to practice spiritual practice.
Lu Jing was thinking in his mind, and the young man in green clothes walked to the door of the small courtyard and did not come in. He just saluted Lu Jing, Ning Qiang and Lin Rendong from a distance.
"The servants of Bieshan Courtyard have met Mr. Jing and the two young ladies."
The young man said: "My master has invited Mr. Jing to come, and I have humbled myself to come and pass the news."
Ning Qiang frowned, a little confused: "Your master?"
After she asked, she responded immediately.
Nowadays, there is indeed an additional master in the Bieshan Courtyard, and that master is none other than Lu Chongshan, who returned from the Jokhang Temple.
"Is it Uncle Zhongshan?"
Ning Qiang asked again: "Uncle, what's the matter with inviting Master Jing over?"
Before the boy could answer, Lin Rendong said with a smile: "Look what you asked, Mr. Chongshan invited Mr. Jing to come over, probably because of that poem.
Besides, if you ask the communicators, what can they know?"
"That's probably the case." Ning Qiang nodded and said to Lu Jing: "Cousin, you should go as soon as possible. It would be rude to make uncle wait."
Lu Jing slowly drank the tea in the cup, then stood up and went to the back room.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, Lu Jing had already changed his clothes and walked out.
Qing Yue next to her looked at Lu Jing with admiration in her eyes, because Lu Jing had told him a few days ago - "If nothing goes wrong, Uncle Chongshan will come to see him again."
Within a few days, these words had come true, as if everything was planned by Lu Jing.
Lu Jing smiled at Qing Yue, and then said to Ning Qiang and Lin Rendong: "Cousin, Miss Rendong, today you have made a special trip to find me, but I am going to the other mountain courtyard. This is rude of me. If we had free time in the past, we would
If you can still come, I'll ask you to be the host."
"Although my hospital is poor, I can still drink some tea."
Ning Qiang shook her head: "I came here today to thank you, so how can I ask you to be my host? I'm going to invite you, sir. I don't dare to refuse. You'd better go as soon as possible."
Lu Jing said goodbye and left.
Lin Rendong watched Lu Jing go away and praised: "Master Jing is often criticized and looked down upon in the Lu family, but his words and deeds are all in line with etiquette and humaneness. He is neither quick nor slow, and is as gentle as jade. This is very surprising."
surprise."
There was some surprise in Ning Qiang's eyes: "In the past, I didn't understand my cousin who was immersed in studying. On the contrary, he has made me admire him quite a lot these days."
"I have good calligraphy skills, understand many human principles, know many poems that others don't know, but are enough to be remembered for generations, and I have a talent for martial arts..."
"As for my uncle, since he came back, no one else in the house has been seen, not to mention cousin Lu Feng, Zhu, Zhou Yi and other ladies. Even when the old lady went there, he refused on the grounds of being ill.
But today I sent someone to invite my cousin."
"With all these things, if it were any other wealthy family, he would definitely receive preferential treatment. He would be just a bastard, and his future would be extraordinary."
When Ning Qiang said this, she couldn't help but sigh: "It's just a pity. Because of that incident eight years ago, the old lady and Mrs. Zhong's hatred for him has been deeply rooted and cannot be changed. It is a pity."
Lin Rendong smiled: "The aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley. A man like Master Jing will prosper, shine, and be known to everyone no matter where he goes. Why should Miss Qiang worry?"
Ning Qiang shook her head, probably thinking of the current situation of the Lu family, and said softly: "I feel sorry for the Lu family."
——
Lu Jing followed the young man in green clothes all the way.
We walked straight to the North Courtyard of Lu Mansion.
Further away from Qingliu Pavilion is Bieshanyuan.
This courtyard is where the second residence of the Lu family is located.
The mountain courtyard is very large, and there are many small courtyards inside. The mountain roads are winding, and there are many rockeries, trees, and flowers in high and low places, and there is also a hillside.
Although it is already autumn, the entire hillside is covered with lush green and covered with mist that never dissipates, just like elegant silk, which is extremely beautiful.
Lu Jing was walking on the hillside for about half a quarter of an hour when two people walked up from a distance.
The boy who was leading Lu Jing stopped a long distance away and bowed to the two men.
Lu Jing waited for the two of them to approach, and without losing any etiquette, he cupped his fists and said, "Big cousin."
These two people were Lu Feng, the eldest son of the second residence of the Lu family, and Xixiang, the maid in his courtyard.
Her sleeves are fragrant and her hands are bare, her wrists are covered with gold rings, her head is a plain gold hairpin, and her waist is adorned with a jade pendant. Coupled with her graceful figure and eyebrows, her appearance can be called "extraordinarily beautiful".
Xixiang walked behind Lu Feng and glanced up at Lu Jing.
At this time, Lu Jing was still dressed in Tsing Yi, with eyebrows that were neither thick nor bland, and his facial features were clear and deep, but also as gentle as a spring breeze.
He is indeed a good-looking son.
Even Xixiang felt that this somewhat pitiful young master looked better than the young master in front of him.
But……
What good does good looks do?
Xixiang noticed that the clothes on Lu Jing's body were not even Wensi from Sanghuai Mansion, and there was no jade pendant around his waist. If he left the Lu Mansion, others would probably think that he was a man from a well-to-do family.
The Lu family would never have thought that Bai Yu would work for Tang Jin.
"Moreover, on the Mid-Autumn Festival, his maid's clothes and accessories were also very simple. She was not like the personal maid of Master Dafu. If she had gone to Master Jing's courtyard, she would have endured a lot of hardships."
Xixiang thought in her heart, and she was even more glad that she had the foresight to avoid going to Lu Jing's courtyard.
Xixiang has a lot of thoughts.
Lu Feng looked Lu Jing up and down, frowned and asked, "Why did you come to the other mountain courtyard and then go up to this foggy forest slope?"
Lu Jing replied: "Cousin, it was Uncle Zhongshan who asked me to come to see him."
Lu Feng's breath froze and he looked at the boy beside Lu Jing.
The boy quickly said: "Master Feng, it is indeed true. Master Zhongshan ordered me to go to the west courtyard to invite Master Jing to come over."
Lu Feng asked again: "What's the matter?"
The boy shook his head.
Lu Feng fell silent for a moment, then turned to look at Wu Linpo.
Just now at the end of the hillside, Lu Feng waited for more than an hour at the entrance of Lu Chongshan's courtyard, wanting to see his father.
But until the end, Lu Chongshan never sent anyone to invite him, so he had no choice but to go back.
Not just today, it has been like this every day for the past five or six days.
But……
"Father doesn't see me, but he wants to see Lu Jing?"
Lu Feng frowned, confused in his heart, but he still nodded and said: "Since father is calling you, don't delay, go as soon as possible."
Lu Jing said goodbye to the boy and continued to step forward.
Xixiang on the side probably sensed Lu Feng's doubts and said softly: "Master, I met with Zhu Nong from Xiapo Shopping yesterday. She said that Master has been reading the poem given by Master Jing every day these days.
, a few hours can be seen at a glance.
Zhu Nong usually serves the master, so what he said is certainly true. The master invited Lu Jing to come, probably because of these words."
Lu Feng understood and nodded, the doubts in his eyes dissipated: "It's Lu Jing's fate that he can leave to himself."
Lu Feng took Xixiang down the slope.
However, Lu Jing, led by the servant, came to the courtyard and entered a quiet bamboo house.
Lu Jing entered the bamboo house and saw Lu Chongshan with an expressionless face in front of the bamboo house's desk, looking down at the straw paper.
There is also a bamboo chair and a table in the house.
I saw a young man in a blue shirt sitting on the bamboo chair.
The young man seemed to be concentrating with his eyes closed, sitting quietly on the bamboo chair.
When Lu Jing entered, Lu Chongshan still didn't raise his head, still looking blankly at the page of papyrus on the table.
On the papyrus paper was written down by Lu Jing the ten years of life and death!
However, just when Lu Jing stepped into the bamboo house, his eyes fell first on Lu Zhongshan, and then on the Confucian scholar with his eyes closed.
The Confucian scholar who closed his eyes slowly opened his eyes and looked at Lu Jing!
When Lu Jing and the Confucian scholar's eyes met.
Suddenly, the world around Lu Jing was spinning, and many scenes around him began to distort.
The dark sides of Lu Jing's mind emerged one after another, including resentment, greed, and cruelty!
"this……"
Lu Jing was originally lost, but when his soul also fell into many darkness, a ray of light surged out from his soul.
The light was extremely weak and was instantly submerged in all kinds of darkness.
But in just a moment, Lu Jing regained his clarity!
"Don't get lost in these many evil thoughts."
Thoughts flashed in Lu Jing's mind, and the Great Sage Yantian, King of the Ming Dynasty, was outlined by him.
Today’s Great Ming King Yantian is different from the past!
The King of Ming Dynasty held the seal of the Buddha and Bodhisattva with his hand, the Taoist robe on his body shone, the third eye on his forehead actually opened, and the wings on his back spread out, so huge and boundless that it seemed to cover the sky and the sun.
At the same time, streams of golden clear water flowed out from the body of the Ming Dynasty Great Sage Yantian. In an instant, it dispelled the countless darkness in Lu Jing's mind and allowed Lu Jing to return to his true heart!
Lu Jing took a deep breath, and the confusion in his eyes gradually disappeared.
The distorted world around him also returned to normal.
And there was a slight smile on the corner of the Confucian scholar's mouth.
Lu Jing remained calm and saluted Lu Chongshan: "Lu Jing has met my uncle."
He looked at the Confucian scholar again.
Lu Chongshan finally slowly raised his head and looked at Lu Jing: "This is my best friend. His name is Bai Guanqi. You can call him Mr. Guanqi."
Lu Jing said: "Lu Jing has met Mr. Guanqi."
Bai Guanqi nodded, but just smiled and did not respond.
Lu Jing only thought that the gentleman watching chess had nodded in return and was unwilling to speak.
Lu Chongshan said: "Mr. Guanqi can't speak, but if he can smile at you, he likes you very much."
Lu Jing lowered his head, and the name of this Confucian scholar suddenly came to his mind.
"Bai Guanqi...what a wonderful name."
"He who watches the chess game without saying a word is a true gentleman."
