Wupeng walked into the county government office with a gift, his face full of respect and care.
When he walked into the lobby and saw Lu Jing sitting high in the hall, his heart suddenly tightened - Lu Jing was playing with a scimitar, throwing it around at will, and it turned out to be Liang Wei's seventh-grade Miao sword [Three Horseshoe].
The coldness of the forest makes people feel frightened.
"Wupeng, a grass-roots man, has seen Master Jijiu."
Wu Peng bowed politely, bending at ninety degrees, very humble.
As he spoke, he held the gift box in both hands and handed it to the table. He said with a smile: "This is a century-old multiflorum plant, which can nourish the energy and nourish the mind. I would like to express my sincerity on behalf of the Wu family. Please accept it..."
"You're welcome."
Old God Lu Jing was sitting on the chair and did not go to pick him up. He said: "There is no need to do this work. You are tired and I am tired too. The young castle master said that he wanted to discuss a strategy to defend against the enemy. Where is the enemy? And what happened?
Is there any way to discuss this? Let’s get straight to the point.”
"Well……"
Wu Peng smiled awkwardly: "Your Majesty, please speak quickly, and the ordinary people will not be verbose. I have just witnessed your Majesty's move to build the Beijing Temple, and my heart is trembling. The thunderous methods have impressed us! The enemy is of course Jiuli Village, and
Looking around the county government, there are very few brave men like you. Two fists are hard to beat with four hands. Wujiabao is willing to lend a helping hand to you!"
He bowed deeply.
Lu Jing paused, looked up at him, and said with a half-smile, "Fengmuxuan is booming in Laogan Mountain, and Wu Bao just gave it up...it's a bit unexpected..."
Wu Peng said with a smile: "Mr. Shui Jing has a saying: 'Those who know the current affairs are the heroes.' Don't worry too much, sir. Now that Pang Xi is dead, the remaining party has nothing to worry about. There is a gentleman who is in charge of Xichong County and has Langzhong as his back.
With the help of the masters of Tianshi Dao, I hope it will be difficult for Jiuli Village to stir up trouble again! The situation has been established, and Wubao is naturally willing to put the icing on the cake and bet on you in order to make huge profits!"
Lu Jing was noncommittal: "The young castle master did not mince words."
Wu Peng smiled and said: "It is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits. Your Majesty is wise and wise. I am afraid that the thoughts of ordinary people cannot be hidden from Your Majesty. In this case, it is better to speak frankly."
"very good……"
After hearing this, Lu Jing's expression finally softened, as if he believed it, he nodded and looked at him and said: "But... I'm afraid it's not just because of this. If the Wu family has any requirements, the young castle master can just say so.
If I can get help from Ubao, I will do my best!"
"really!"
Wu Peng saw his gentle expression and encouragement in his eyes, and was secretly happy in his heart.
——Just say that he is short of manpower and is providing help in times of need. Even if there is doubt, he will definitely fight for it with all his strength!
Thinking of this, Wu Peng made an appropriately embarrassed expression and whispered: "Your Majesty said this, which made the grassroots panic... The grassroots witnessed the adults' methods in Yunxu Pavilion with their own eyes, and they were in awe. Their surrender came from the heart, but
I do have a small favor that I would like to ask for your help. This... don’t worry, sir! After the incident is completed, Wubao will express my gratitude and will do its best to help you resist Jiuli Village, and I swear to live and die with you!"
Wu Peng looked solemn and said it categorically!
Lu Jing chuckled in his heart, with a more relieved expression on his face. He stepped down from his seat, came over to help Wu Peng, and said warmly: "Mutual benefit is what we should do. I wonder what the young castle master is referring to?"
Wu Peng looked around carefully.
Lu Jing waved away the others, and Wu Peng breathed a sigh of relief before he began to explain the secrets.
It turns out that twenty years ago, when Wu Hao, the master of Wujiabao, was the first to discover Laogan Mountain, Laogan Mountain was not just an empty mountain. There was also a bottomless hole in the center of the mountain. Hidden beneath the cave is a natural cave that extends in all directions.
——The entrance to the cave is now in the secret room of Wuhao retreat in Wujiabao, District A!
This cave seems to have been left by a certain senior master. There are many mechanisms inside the cave, but it is indeed a cave paradise full of vitality.
It was thanks to it that the two brothers Wu Hao and Wu Quan made rapid progress, reaching the peak level of Qi creation one after another, and were only one step away from refining the gods;
Also relying on it, Wu Peng has reached the eighth level of cultivation at a young age. It seems that he does not strive for advancement, and he is enjoying life every day, but in fact he has superb internal skills and profound family knowledge.
Over the years, Wujiabao has been working hard to develop caves and has gained a lot of benefits from it.
But they couldn't get into the deepest stone chamber, because there was a magical stone formation outside the stone chamber.
This formation has been integrated with Laogan Mountain after being laid out by an expert. It is driven by the vitality of the earth's veins. It contains twenty-eight small stone mountains, each representing the twenty-eight constellations. The whole formation is arranged according to the Nine Palaces and Bagua, and is ever-changing. Hard to break through!
Anyone who enters the formation will be trapped in it, surrounded by stone mountains, and may lose their way or lose their lives in the worst case, making it impossible to move forward!
Wu Hao and others spent more than ten years breaking the formation and studying the formation, but in the end they made no progress.
Since they couldn't break through head-on, they wanted to find another way and ask experts to extract the earth energy from the formation - such a drastic move could also destroy the power source of the formation, allowing them to easily enter the stone chamber and get the most precious thing!
But this is easier said than done.
First of all, this expert's martial arts must be below the level of the God of Refining. Otherwise, if the Wu family cannot cure it, they will lead the wolf into the house and seek their own death.
Secondly, this expert's earth control level is much stronger, and the earth energy under the formation is strong. If he cannot escape, there is still nothing he can do about the cave.
This is the dilemma.
The realm cannot be high, the mental power must be strong...
But no matter how difficult it is, there is still hope than breaking the formation. Wujiabao has also found many people to try before, but unfortunately none of them have the kind of unique spiritual talent.
If you don't have enough skills, the Wu family can still help teach you the skills, but if you don't have enough mental strength, you can really do nothing but despair.
Below the realm of refining gods, the spiritual thoughts have not yet been realized, and the carrier of consciousness is still the "god" among the three treasures. If you want to draw out the earth energy, you need to have extremely strong mental power. Such people are even harder to find than those in the realm of refining gods.
On the one hand, the Wu family relies on Wu Hao to break through the realm, and on the other hand, they are also secretly looking for a master of the Qi creation realm who can skillfully control the earth's energy.
It's a pity that so many years have passed, but there has been little progress in both. It was not until Lu Jing showed his great power in Maplewood Pavilion - the ninth level of Qi creation, below the level of god refining, but he can skillfully use earth Qi, that he finally saw the light of day.
"Don't hide it from your lord."
Wu Peng said sincerely: "For so many years, my father has been in seclusion, hoping to break through, but he has never been able to do so... I want to find a master who can control the earth's energy, but I can't find him. I'm almost dead. I feel so sorry... How pitiful God! I am lucky enough to meet you today. It is really the only path that can be reached by heaven. Wu Peng sincerely asks for your help..."
He bent down, gritted his teeth, and said solemnly: "If you can really break the formation, Wubao is willing to share the treasures in the cave with you! If you violate this, I will die badly!"
I see……
Lu Jing suddenly felt enlightened and said jokingly: "Young Lord, aren't you afraid that I will have evil intentions?"
Wu Peng's expression changed, he looked at Lu Jing seriously, and said, "Sir, do you know what the unique secret of my Wujiabao family is?"
Lu Jing shook his head: "I'm new here. I haven't heard of it yet. Please let me know."
Wu Peng said: "Its name is "Fire Fire Heart Sutra", which is a kind of secret martial arts from outside the world. Naturally, there are some unknown methods... My father has been in seclusion for many years. Although he has not been able to break through the realm of internal strength, his mental skills have reached the third level.
At the sixth level, the form of true energy changes, forming a kind of arrogance that can cast iron and melt gold... The most valuable weapon in Wujiabao was made by my father himself. It can even melt gold and iron, let alone a mortal body? What do you think, sir?
?”
Huh?
Threatening me?
Lu Jing raised his eyebrows, smiled faintly, and said, "So there is someone to rely on. No wonder..."
Wupeng bowed his head again: "I hope you won't be offended, it's just a way to protect yourself. Wubao has been well-known for many years, and is famous for its integrity. The promises made will be fulfilled! If you are worried, you can also bring others with you."
Go, but you can't go down into the cave... This matter involves family secrets, please forgive me."
"I see."
Lu Jing said calmly: "You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others, so how can you be surprised? Okay, I know everything. It's just a trivial matter, so I'll just go with you! But, I'm not very sure...
…If it doesn’t work out, please don’t break your promise, Young Master.”
Wu Peng said happily: "As long as you are dedicated, as for the promise, Wu Peng will guarantee it with his head on his neck, and he will not let you down!"
"Then let's go."
Lu Jing stood up and said, "People from Jiuli Village may arrive at any time. Let's make a quick decision so that we can actively prepare for the war."
"My lord please."
Wu Peng couldn't wait and stretched out his hand to guide him.
Lu Jing walked out of the lobby first.
Wang Shuang is guarding the door.
Lu Jing said to him: "Wang Shuang, if I don't come back before midnight tonight, Feiyan will send a letter to Langzhong immediately, saying that I died in Wujiabao, and ask Master to avenge me... Oh, young master
Don’t be offended, Castle Master, I’m also trying to guard against others.”
Lu Jing turned to look at Wupeng, with a playful smile that contained anger - it seemed that he was angry at Wupeng's previous distrust.
Wang Shuang didn't know why and stared at Wu Peng.
Wu Peng's heart was beating wildly. This man really didn't suffer at all. He smiled awkwardly and said: "Sir, what are you talking about? How dare we take action against you..."
Lu Jing laughed and patted his shoulder: "It's a joke, it's a joke, let's go."
Wu Peng followed and laughed, leading the way.
…
Less than an hour later, Lu Jing entered Laogan Mountain again.
This time, he followed Wupeng and took a shortcut through the mountains, passing through large wilderness fields. There were no pedestrians on the road.
What Wupeng meant was that this road was relatively close and could go straight to the heart of Laogan Mountain and into Wujiabao... This was indeed the case, but Lu Jing could see at a glance that his real purpose was not to let Laogan Mountain Jiuli
The Zhai spy knew that Wujiabao had a relationship with his Jijiujiu, so he was even more certain that this guy had no intention of helping!
"You want to be a white wolf with nothing? Haha, you get on my boat and want to escape unscathed, how dare you think..."
Lu Jing sneered in his heart, but his face remained calm.
soon.
The two of them came to District A, Wujiabao.
Wujiabao occupies an exclusive area. It is naturally vast in area, luxurious and majestic, and it also contains rare treasures. Therefore, many fortifications have been specially built. From a distance, it really looks like a small city with a majestic atmosphere.
Wu Quan, the leader of the Second Fort, was already waiting in front of the gate. When he saw the two people approaching, his face became happy and he saluted and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Lord Jiujiu. The entire Wujia Fort is grateful for your great kindness!"
Lu Jing said with a smile: "The situation is serious. As long as Wujiabao can help me to resist the powerful enemy, these small things are not worth mentioning."
"..."
Wu Quan's face twitched, he lowered his head and said respectfully: "We will do our best."
Wu Quan studied Confucianism intensively, "abide by the etiquette" in his daily speech and behavior, and has a high sense of morality. Of course, he can give it up at certain times, as long as "out of sight is out of mind", but at this time Lu Jing wanted him to express his position, and he also
It can only be ambiguous.
Wu Peng said quickly: "Sir, please, my father is waiting in the secret room."
"Um."
Lu Dingding nodded: "Hurry up and work. If you can't go back before midnight, I will be 'killed'." He strode forward.
"Um?"
Wu Quan's expression froze and he looked at Wu Peng.
A gloomy look quickly flashed across Wu Peng's face, and she nodded to him.
They all understood that this was Lu Jing's self-protection move to prevent Wujiabao from attacking him after breaking the formation... Once this was done, Tianshi Dao would blame Wujiabao for his death.
A monk can run away but cannot run away from the temple...
Regardless of the fact that Tianshi Dao is currently short of manpower, it is because they have to protect the land and the people. If Lu Jing dies and loses the city and territory, his division commander will come to kill him regardless, and Wujiabao will definitely be liquidated!
The liquidation of the God Refining Realm!
The two of them were stunned.
But it was expected.
They didn't want to touch him in the first place. What Wujiabao had to do was wait for Lu Jing to drain the earth, break through the stone formation, enter the cave, give him something to stabilize him first, and wait until he needed help.
Let him die in the hands of the masters of Jiuli Village, and then get back his things without any blood...
"please."
Wu Quan stretched out his hand and led the way, leading Lu Jing through the corridor and into the central secret room.
There is an emerald screen in front of the secret room, blocking the view. Behind the screen stands Wu Hao, the master of the castle. Behind Wu Hao is the big hole.
Wu Hao is in his fifties, with a tall build and a resolute face. He wears gloves on his hands and radiates an astonishing amount of heat from his body. He is obviously successful in the fire element.
Wu Peng introduced the two of them, Wu Hao complimented him and got to the point: "This cave extends in all directions, and the internal space is very wide. When you first enter, you may be confused by stalactites and the like. Please cover your head and face, sir."
, the three of me will lead you in."
To put it bluntly, I just didn’t want Lu Jing to know the true route to prevent him from having any evil intentions.
Really guard against death...
Lu Jing cursed in his heart, but made a submissive expression on his face and covered his head and face.
"It's a pity that I can see through it, but a layer of cloth is useless!"
The three of them supported him and jumped down from the cave.
Lu Jing pretended to be invisible and observed the entire underground cave through the mask.
But I saw that the cave was like a winding and circling giant dragon. It extended in all directions, with numerous paths, flowing water around it, and moist air.
The scenery inside the cave is even more bizarre.
Under the illumination of the torches of the three people, all kinds of precious stones and jade are colorful, and the stalactites are like sculptures, with various scenes, some are like waterfalls flowing down, and some are like white lotuses in bloom...
The four people were twisting and turning in the maze.
Lu Jing watched helplessly as the three men led him around in several circles before leading him to the deepest part of the cave and taking off his mask.
Lu Jing saw the stone formation.
There are jagged rocks in the formation, and twenty-eight hills two feet high lie across it. They are full of ghostly atmosphere, and there is also a faint mist floating out from the stone mountains. It is really confusing and weird!
Wu Hao said: "This is the Stone Formation, please ask Master Jijiu to take action..."
