Lu Ning patted Kong Rong on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for two months, you are really good at cultivation!"
Kong Rong smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master, the eldest son and his family are not in the house."
Hearing this, Lu Ning was slightly stunned. He knew that the eldest son Kong Rong mentioned was his eldest brother.
"Brother and sister-in-law, have they moved away?"
Lu Ning raised his eyebrows and continued, "So, my eldest brother has been successful?"
Kong Rong nodded repeatedly and said: "The eldest son has indeed been hit, but he has also realized it!"
Lu Ning was slightly stunned: "What do you mean?"
Kong Rong did not hide anything and said directly: "The eldest son and his family went to Baiyun Taoist Temple to practice."
"What??"
Lu Ning looked shocked and looked at Kong Rong blankly: "As a family, are you going to Baiyun Taoist Temple to practice?"
Kong Rong nodded repeatedly.
Lu Ning couldn't help but take a deep breath, and with a sweep of her consciousness, she discovered that Lan Yunhui from Baiyun Taoist Temple in the backyard was not there, nor was her elder brother Lu Xiu, sister-in-law Ruan Shuting, or the little girl.
I was immediately speechless!
"What's going on? Tell me in detail!"
Lu Ning was still a little sleepy at first, but after hearing the news, her sleepiness disappeared.
In the main hall, candlelight is lit.
Lu Ning first asked someone to prepare some food for the Long Ge brothers and sisters, and then asked Kong Rong to explain the situation in detail.
"Young master, that's what it is..." Kong Rong said.
Lu Ning listened, and for a moment he finally understood.
This time in autumn, it was a spectacular event. There were not only men but also women, and the examination lasted for six days.
Not long after I finished the exam.
His eldest brother Lu Xiu no longer went to Confucius Institute, but stayed at home with his sister-in-law and daughter. Because the little girl Lu Xue succeeded in marrow cleansing, Lan Yunhui wanted to accept her as a disciple.
Elder brother Lu Xiu and sister-in-law Ruan Shuting are very happy that their daughter can become an immortal.
In addition, the eldest brother had taken Peiyuan Dan, and his sister-in-law also often took elixirs, which cultivated the true energy in the body, but did not know how to adjust the breath. After listening to Lan Yunhui's sermon, the eldest brother and sister-in-law also decided to cultivate immortality, even if they want to maintain health and longevity.
OK.
As for whether he won or not, Lu Xiu didn't care.
But later he was indeed hit. The eldest brother Lu Xiu even went outside the palace to take a look. He felt happy for himself for a while, and finally decided to cultivate immortality.
"Where's my little sister? She's gone too, right?" Lu Ning asked hurriedly.
"The lady didn't go, she plans to continue participating in the Spring Festival next year!" Kong Rong said.
Hearing this, Lu Ning breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his little sister had also been hit.
"If you want to become an immortal, just become an immortal."
Lu Ning stared outside the main hall and said.
The eldest brother really did not enter the officialdom and decided to cultivate immortality.
Although it was unexpected, Lu Ning still agreed with her elder brother's approach.
If an official can live to be seventy years old, then a cultivator can live to be one hundred and fifty years old. Wouldn't it be nice to live for eighty more years?
"Where is the little sister?" Lu Ning asked.
"After Miss won, she returned to the academy and said she was continuing to study the art of war and strategy." Kong Rong responded.
Lu Ning nodded and said: "The brother and sister just now were bought from Beimang. They have been wandering in the barbarian territory. They are barbaric by nature. If there is any problem in the house, don't be like them."
"It's Young Master!" Kong Rong nodded.
Next, after Lu Ning arranged a place for the Long Ge brothers and sisters, he went back to his room to rest.
After staying in Jianmen for nearly half a month without a good rest, Lu Ning was also very tired. After taking a bath, he fell asleep.
September 8th.
Experience: 6,349 million points.
After getting up at midnight, take a look at your experience and take the time to upgrade your skills and skills.
After freshening up.
Lu Ning went to the palace to attend court.
In the Tai Chi Hall.
When the empress saw Lu Ning, her eyes flashed with joy.
She hadn't seen Lu Ning for two months, and she really missed him.
But he also knew that Lu Ning had something serious to do, so he didn't send anyone to rush Lu Ning.
Lu Ning was holding the Chao Hut and looking at the empress. He hadn't seen her for two months, but the empress' cultivation had reached the late third level. This scene made Lu Ning extremely surprised.
He is worthy of being a person who has no obstacles to breakthroughs in cultivation. The Great Zhou Dynasty was set in the early days and state affairs were busy. He was still able to reach the late stage from the early stage of the third level within two months. This speed is really not slow.
You must know that Pei Tianbei and Gu Wushuang have been practicing hard, but they are currently only in the middle stage of the third rank.
Seeing whether the empress glanced at him, Lu Ning smiled at her.
"Ahem...!"
When Zhang Juming saw the empress looking at Lu Ning from time to time, he couldn't help but cough slightly and said: "Your Majesty, the northern barbarians have been harassing our territory for hundreds of years. Zuo Zongci, the governor of Yanzhou, has written many times, hoping that the imperial court can send troops to suppress them.
Northern barbarians!”
In the court, Zhang Juming was mainly talking alone, and he talked a lot, and everyone else nodded in agreement.
Because in the past two months, Lu Ning took the people from the Suppressing Demon Division to travel throughout the nine states of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Major issues were settled, and minor issues were solved by local officials.
So there are almost no major internal problems at present.
But some external problems became apparent.
Empress Zhou Yan became serious. She looked at Zhang Juming and said, "Let Beimang's cavalry attack the barbarian tribe."
Zhang Juming said: "King Beimang also sent a letter, saying that the barbarian tribes are in the process of unifying. Once they are allowed to complete the unification, they will pose a great threat to the Zhou cavalry."
The empress' phoenix eyes sank and she said: "Then tell King Beimang that the barbarians cannot be unified and send troops to support some tribes that want to alliance with the Zhou Dynasty. Of course, it would be better if money and materials can be used to solve the problem."
"The best way is to fight internally and let them fight on their own first."
Hearing this, Zhang Juming nodded secretly, this was indeed a good idea.
The barbarians themselves were in chaos, so they had no intention of harassing the surrounding areas.
"Your Majesty, in addition to the northern barbarians, there are also southern demon clans who are also ready to make a move. During Lu Sizheng's patrol, 30,000 black tigers from the demon clan attacked Hui Feng Town at night. General Mu Yan also sent troops to suppress it once, and is currently on guard.
.”
Zhang Juming said again that the Zhou Dynasty is currently suffering from external attacks from barbarians in the north and monsters in the south.
As for the Eastern Sea Tribe and the Western countries, they are relatively quiet for the time being.
"Southern Monster Clan!?"
The empress frowned and said, "Are there any second-grade demon emperors participating?"
There are still many second-grade demon kings among the southern demon clan. The first-grade Nantian Demon Lord Fire Dragon will definitely not take action personally, but it is still possible for his subordinate second-grade demon king to take action.
"Back to your majesty, there are still seven demon kings in the southern demon clan. They have not taken action, but the number of third-grade demon kings is very large, one hundred and thirteen, which is more than three times the number of strong guards in our dynasty.
"Zhang Juming said.
Hearing this, the empress nodded secretly. The lifespan of the monsters of the southern monster tribe is generally more than five times that of the human race, and there are more masters among the monster tribe than in the human army.
Of course, if a war really breaks out, the imperial court can also organize strong men of the first, second and third grades.
"How many monsters have gathered in the army?"
"Three hundred thousand!"
The empress nodded and asked Zhang Juming to tell Mu Yan to continue to keep an eye on the demon clan.
The court meeting didn't end until Chen.
Zhang Juming and others came to Lu Ning to say hello.
Kang Lang then said: "Lu Sizheng, when will you come to my house to sit down and let me entertain you?"
He is an old man who knows how to be grateful. Ever since he came out of the prison, he has always wanted to treat Lu Ning to dinner, but he has never had the chance.
Lu Ning and Kang Lang walked at the end and said with a smile: "Old Kang, I haven't seen you for a few months. You are much more energetic."
Kang Langcai smiled and said: "It's all thanks to Mr. Tuo Lu!"
Lu Ning smiled and said: "Then wait until you have time. When you have time, we can sit at your house."
Kang Lang said excitedly: "That's great!"
…
Yongle Palace.
When Lu Ning arrived, the empress was preparing breakfast.
"Chang'an, let's have dinner together!" the empress said with a smile.
After Lu Ning bowed, he sat in front of the dining table and chatted and laughed with the empress while they ate together.
The content of the chat was mostly about what I had seen and heard during the past two months of traveling.
"I was busy with official duties and was short on time. I didn't go to many places, so it took me two months." Lu Ning said.
The territory of the Zhou Dynasty was so large that in the previous life, one state could be compared with the map of China.
It takes two months to go around and it's still going fast.
If it is purely for fun, it would be good if it can be transferred in two years.
The empress kept lamenting that she wanted to leave Beijing and travel around the world, but Prince Yongning was only three months old.
After breakfast.
Lu Ning prepared some cultivation pills for the Empress, including Qi-Building Pills, Blood-Building Pills, True Yuan Pills, etc., which made the Empress extremely happy.
Leave Yongle Palace.
After Lu Ning got some royal wine in the imperial dining room, he took the cold braised beef and peanuts to the Golden Terrace.
On the golden stage.
Li Qingbai looked at Lu Ning with a smile.
"I've met the master!"
"Sit down!"
Li Qingbai waved his hand, and Lu Ning hurriedly sat down on the floor and put out the royal wine and cold vegetables and peanuts.
Li Qingbai just liked this sip of wine. He took a sip first and looked at the much more steady Lu Ning and said, "Boy, how did you get when you went out for a walk?"
Lu Ning smiled and said: "It's very big."
Li Qingbai said: "Tell me about it."
Lu Ning said: "Then let me start from Anzhou."
Next, the two of them chatted while eating. Lu Ning mentioned the Sea Tribe people under the East China Sea, and also asked about the six-legged turtle and the killer whale devil.
Li Qingbai said: "That killer whale demon king is very powerful. With your current cultivation level, even if the world of swordsmanship is unified, you will not be his opponent. It is best not to think about provoking him."
"He hides at the bottom of the deep sea and rarely comes out, let alone the mainland. He is not a threat."
Lu Ning nodded and talked about the Demonic Ape Islands to the southeast from Qingzhou.
Li Qingbai shook his head and said: "That is an archipelago. There is no secret. There are two demon apes and demon kings living on it. You killed one, and the other one is still on the island."
Lu Ning continued, talking about the ancient temple in the mountains of Qingzhou, where he suppressed a nine-tailed demon.
Li Qingbai nodded secretly. He also knew about the nine-tailed demon ghost. He had suppressed it for more than five thousand years. He originally thought that the nine-tailed demon ghost could not break the seal of Monk Xingdao, but he did not want Lu Ning to break the seal.
"It's better to suppress it!"
Lu Ning continued, saying that he suppressed the Ba Zong and the Shengwu Hall, and then talked about Yongzhou.
"Master, there is a very magical well in Yongzhou called Yingyue Well. Have you seen it?"
Li Qingbai's old eyes flashed and he nodded: "I've seen it before."
After his voice fell, he continued: "But it may not be accurate, so don't care if you read it."
Lu Ning's eyes flashed slightly: "So, what I saw in that well will eventually come true, right?"
Li Qingbai said: "I guess so...what did you see in that well?"
Lu Ning thought back and said: "The picture I saw in the well was very simple. Pei Tianbei fell and the empress was captured. This picture flashed twice in a row and then disappeared."
Hearing this, Li Qingbai's old eyes flickered, and he suddenly smiled and said: "I just stopped talking as a teacher, it may not be accurate, so don't pay too much attention."
Lu Ning nodded. He saw that it was Pei Tianbei who fell, but Pei Tianbei saw that it was him who ascended, so he didn't think it was accurate.
"Master, there is a Holy Moon Sect deep in Shiwanda Mountain. You should know about it."
"Clearly, the Holy Moon Sect is the birthplace of the shaman tribe in southern Xinjiang. They rarely set foot in Kyushu and live deep in the Shiwan Mountains. However, in some places in Kyushu, there are some sects and even evil sects.
It’s witchcraft from southern Xinjiang.”
Li Qingbai said.
Lu Ning nodded: "This time in front of Yingyue Well, the disciple met Duan Yusheng, the son of the shaman god of the Holy Moon Sect. He seems to be very strong."
Li Qingbai's old eyes flashed and he said: "Yes, his talent is indeed comparable to yours."
Lu Ning's expression did not change, but he was shocked in his heart. His talent was cheating, while his talent was real talent, there was no comparison!
Finally, Lu Ning talked about Sangzhou and Taixuan City.
Li Qingbai said: "You did nothing wrong in this matter. The Taichu Jianmen went too far. If Feng Chuyi was not still alive, the imperial court would have suppressed the Taichu Jianmen long ago."
Lu Ning said: "Master, when Feng Chuyi talked about the battle of luck, you were listening to it at that time. What is this battle of luck going on?"
Li Qingbai frowned and said, "We'll talk about it later. You tell me your experience first."
Lu Ning nodded and continued to talk about Sangzhou, but he did not mention Mr. Jinlin, only the fiery red Qiongqi.
Li Qingbai smiled and said: "You boy, you are really lucky. That Qiongqi has a lifespan of three thousand years and his strength is above the first level. Even if Feng Chuyi takes action, he can't say that he can definitely win against that Qiongqi."
Lu Ning's face was full of surprise. When he finally mentioned Xuanlong Mountain, Li Qingbai frowned and said, "Have you discovered the secret there?"
Lu Ning nodded.
Li Qingbai frowned and said: "That evil dragon is no match for him even when he is victorious as a teacher. He should not be a living being in this world, so you should not provoke him."
Lu Ning was surprised and said: "Master, according to what you said, that evil dragon really came from the sky?"
Li Qingbai said: "That's right."
Lu Ning nodded and mentioned the Bodhisattva Barbarian from the barbarian tribe. Li Qingbai scoffed and disapproved.
Only then did Lu Ning talk about Huangquan Market in Youzhou.
Li Qingbai frowned and said: "There are three magical places in this world, one is Yingyue Well, the other is Huangquan Market, and the third is Haicheng."
"A dangerous place, Xuanlong Mountain."
"A forbidden place, east of the East China Sea."
"Other than that is the Eye of the Sea, where the old devil is sealed."
After speaking, Li Qingbai looked at Lu Ning and said, "Today you mentioned the underworld market, I will tell you that the Lord of Underworld is very powerful. Back then, he only lost to me in one and a half moves, but in fact he is the most powerful.
This technique can change the momentum and shape of heaven and earth, and make people moody."
"With your current level of cultivation, it's best not to provoke him."
Lu Ning nodded and talked about the Spring and Autumn Sword Sect. He said that it took him nearly half a month to get out, and his talent was too average.
Hearing this, Li Qingbai's face turned red and he said, "Boy, drink."
"Master, why are you blushing?"
"Master, I drank too much!"
Li Qingbai rolled his eyes. Back then, it took him more than a year and three months to break through the Sword Sect. It took you less than half a month. Why are you telling me that your talent is not good?
To humiliate a teacher?
Lu Ning didn't know what Li Qingbai was thinking, so he said: "Master, I left the jade ring to Li Jingxuan."
Li Qingbai said: "It's useless to leave it to him. With his qualifications, he won't come out if he goes in."
Lu Ning nodded secretly, especially the last two sword gates, which can trap 99% of people.
"Master, when we were finally clearing the level, the man in white mentioned what vast land and the Jiangling Clan. What place was that?" Lu Ning was still most concerned about this matter.
Li Qingbai's old eyebrows sank and he said: "Don't pay attention to it. After participating in the fate battle, I will tell you when the time comes."
Lu Ning saw that his master didn't say anything, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Li Qingbai, on the other hand, continued: "The battle for luck is actually a battle for strength. Anyone between the ages of twelve and thirty can participate, and the top three will gain the power of luck."
Lu Ning nodded: "Master, what are the benefits of this power of luck?"
Li Qingbai smiled and said: "There are many benefits. It can enhance strength and increase life span."
Lu Ning was happy when he heard that it could increase his lifespan, so he had to fight for it.
Li Qingbai said: "The fate battle is scheduled for June 6th next year, which is the day when you call Fengchu the first day. He wants to exclude you on that day."
Lu Ning's eyes flashed coldly: "June 6th, there are still ten months left, so Feng Chuyi is not eligible to participate."
Li Qingbai said: "He is not qualified to participate, but there are people from Taichu Jianmen who can participate."
Lu Ning said coldly: "The one who can participate in Taichu Jianmen is Ji Feiyu. Can she kill me?"
Li Qingbai said: "Boy, don't be careless. That Ji Feiyu is already at the second level of cultivation. There are still ten months left. Feng Chuyi will cultivate her with all his strength. Before the battle of luck, she will definitely reach the first level in the human world."
.”
"Second grade?"
Lu Ning looked stunned, so fast?
When he met the Empress just now, he thought that the Empress had made breakthroughs in cultivation quickly, but he didn't expect that Ji Feiyu was faster and directly promoted to a higher level.
Li Qingbai said: "This battle for luck is in this world. The monster clan, sea clan, barbarian clan, and geniuses from all the countries in the Western Region will participate, so the competition is quite fierce."
"You can't be careless!"
Lu Ning nodded: "Master, don't worry, my disciple has a sense of balance. But I haven't heard anyone mention this dispute about fate before?"
Li Qingbai smiled and said: "The battle for luck begins once every three hundred years. How many people in this world can live to be over three hundred years old."
"Only some big forces will accumulate strength, look for the right opportunity, and pour the resources accumulated in the sect into one person."
"As for the fact that no one mentioned it before, it's because the battle for luck will take another seven years to start. It's still early, so I didn't mention it."
"As soon as you made a fuss in Taixuan City, Feng Chuyi felt angry, so he decided to start the fate battle in advance."
Lu Ning frowned and said, "Why can he decide when the fate battle will start?"
Li Qingbai said: "Anyone with a first-level cultivation level has the right to make decisions, and so does the teacher. If he wants to advance, he can do it in advance. Anyway, the teacher has full confidence in you."
Lu Ning smiled and nodded: "On that day in Taixuan City, if Feng Chuyi had not mentioned the fate dispute, the disciples would have almost wanted to kill Taichu Jianmen."
"You wouldn't dare!"
Li Qingbai took a sip of wine and rolled his eyes at Lu Ning, "Don't think that if you can block Fengchuyi's sword, you can destroy Taichu Sword Sect. What are you thinking!"
"There is a Fish-Dragon Sword Formation in the Taichu Sword Gate. The power of the Fish-Dragon Sword Formation is more powerful than the Imperial City's Shifang Killing Formation. It can suppress people of the first level, and it is even possible to kill them."
Hearing this, Lu Ning was slightly stunned. He was indeed the head of the five great immortal sects and should not be underestimated.
Li Qingbai said: "You first participate in the battle of destiny, and then challenge Feng Chuyi. Just don't choose the location of the challenge at Taichu Jianmen. He is an old-timer, and it will not be a shame even if you can't beat him."
"It's true that he can't beat you, but that would be a shame."
Lu Ning flashed his eyes coldly and said, "Then what if I kill him?"
Li Qingbai frowned slightly. He didn't know why Lu Ning asked this. Is he so confident?
He said solemnly: "Although it's a bit troublesome to kill, I'll kill it!"
Lu Ning grinned and nodded.
At this time, Li Qingbai took out the lower part of "Spring and Autumn Sword Jue" from his body, threw it in front of Lu Ning and said, "I have finished reading it, you can keep it for yourself."
"You succeeded in breaking through the Nine Sword Sect, but actually I have nothing to teach you as a teacher."
"But you have to remember one thing. The biggest difference between martial arts and immortality is that there are no bells and whistles. Martial arts is simple and pure, while immortality is complicated and complicated."
"If you choose martial arts, remember that the simpler, the better. The simpler the martial arts or magical powers, the more powerful they are."
"Many martial arts masters only practice one move throughout their lives, which is the so-called famous stunt. They can defeat all enemies in the world with one move. Even if they cannot kill them, they can beat them half to death. This is martial arts."
"The same is true for sword cultivators. You don't need to practice so many sword moves and swordsmanship. All the bells and whistles have no effect. Why use two swords if you can solve it with one sword?"
"You will understand in the future that immortal cultivators fight with all kinds of bells and whistles and use all kinds of useless spells and magic weapons. When they meet a strong martial artist, they will be defeated instantly."
"My teacher is telling you this to let you understand that along the way of martial arts, various magical powers and techniques emerge in endlessly, but you can see them, remember them, and understand them. There is no need to practice them."
"As you said before, if you can create your own, that would be the best. What you create will always suit you."
While Li Qingbai was drinking, he said: "I am not belittling the immortal cultivators by saying this, nor am I trying to create misunderstandings for you. There are also powerful people among the immortal cultivators, but their biggest characteristic is not fighting, but immortality. What they seek is
Immortality."
Hearing this, Lu Ning nodded repeatedly. What Li Qingbai said today made him understand a lot.
"Master, can't martial arts lead to immortality?" Lu Ning asked.
"Who says it can't be done?"
Li Qingbai lay down, holding a peanut and throwing it into his mouth, and said: "The immortal cultivators are not immortals. In fact, they are called Qi refiners... You will understand later, but their goal is to become immortals."
"If he lives forever in martial arts, his goal will also be to become an immortal, and he will be called a martial immortal."
"You can just listen to these for now, because you are still far away. You will understand when you reach the first level one day."
Lu Ning's eyes flashed and he thought, Master, I'm not far from reaching the first level.
Li Qingbai didn't know what Lu Ning was thinking, and said: "My teacher has told you a lot today, and you don't need to take it to heart. You should focus on improving your cultivation, consolidating your cultivation, and practicing the three
Five moves of your own swordsmanship are enough."
"I will tell you other things after the fate battle is over, so that you won't be distracted during this period."
Lu Ning nodded and said: "Master, didn't you just say that practicing one sword is enough?"
Li Qingbai said speechlessly: "You kid is not smart. That sword is a sure-kill move. If you can't kill with one sword, you have to use the back-up move!"
Lu Ning: "...!!"
