Lu Zhengkang and Qing Ningzi parted ways only three days later. After Yi Xingyun arrived at Zhonglu from the East China Sea, she pretended to be an ordinary horse and trotted over. There were many people who tried to catch her on the road, so it was okay to be bullied by her.
Once, he met an evil demon who was fighting against the autumn wind. Ni Xingyun spit out a roar of thunder and blew his head to pieces.
Taking advantage of the absence of Wei Xingyun for the past three days, Lu Zhengkang took Qing Ningzi to have fun in the city, taste worldly dishes, visit the scenery of the ancient capital, and experience the local folk customs. The people in Luo City have always been very wealthy.
Education is also very good, although it cannot be done
To the extent that they don't close their doors at night, it can be seen that there is a kind of trust in each other. The restaurant is willing to lend complete sets of silverware and porcelain to others for banquets. Neighbors borrow money without creating a written note. They only need to break off a piece of tile, and it will be known when they get married.
It's true.
Such a city layout has the ancestors on the left and the shrine on the right, up south and down north, left east and right west, with the ancestral hall in the east and the Sanqing Temple in the west. The temple ministers can be seen as having cultivation, and no one in the same group ran away.
There are markets on all sides of Luo City. The north side used to be the ancient imperial palace, but it has long been demolished. The city wall bricks were picked up and used to build pig pens. Now the place where the ancient palace is has been converted into a residential area for powerful people, also called Jinbeifang. You can walk around there.
Although it is not as luxurious as the capital city, it is still rich or noble. If you step on someone, it may be the son of a certain family. Next to Beifang is Beishi. It is said that there is a queue at the end of the street, with food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Once you walk through it, it will all come together.
Lu Zhengkang thought to himself at that time, good guys, have those who claim to have seen the real dragon shocked the dragon been served by a dragon?
When they were walking on the street, they also passed by the mansions of dignitaries, and they could tell that the atmosphere was extraordinary. The dragon energy in Luo City was looking for the God of Destiny, and the only person in the city who had connections with the Chu family was King Shun.
The fourth brother of the current king.
The Taoist priests of Zhengyiyi probably believed that a real dragon was about to appear in Prince Shun's palace. Or else they were heartless and hedging their bets. The state religion of Chu State was Zhengyiyi, and they were secretly planning to overthrow Chu State.
Lu Zhengkang didn't care about this. Prince Shun was not named Zhou and was not an old friend of his fourth uncle, so there was no need to join in the fun at his house.
It stands to reason that when you go to a place, you have to abide by the rules of that place. There is also a saying of worshiping the dock in the rivers and lakes. When Lu Zhengkang came to Zhengyi, he should go to the Sanqing Temple in the west of the city to inform him. Lu Zhengkang didn't know much about it.
Qing Ningzi didn't care about this rule.
After Qing Ningzi left, Lu Zhengkang slept in the open air with the wine jar in his arms. He forgot that he didn't bring any money. Qing Ningzi paid for all the expenses these days...
He did carry a small bag of spiritual crystals with him. These things could be sold at a good price if met by someone who knew the goods. Lu Zhengkang could live anywhere anyway and was not worried about his situation at all.
On weekdays, his main job is to go shopping. He is dressed in commoner clothes and has disheveled hair. He is not slovenly and clean. He wears a jade necklace on his waist, which is dazzling. When he is dressed like this, no mortal will notice it under the cover of the eyes. He can do whatever he wants.
some.
In today's world where Taoism is manifested, there are many legends about strange people among the people. When he first came to Luo City, Lu Zhengkang could find more than ten charlatans and sorcerers a day, dressed as monks, Taoists and laymen.
Even worse are those who sell fake medicines, who specialize in defrauding those poor people who are about to lose their families and have no cure.
The Chu country was in turmoil, and all kinds of fish, snakes, insects and shrimps escaped. Those outsiders were not welcome in Luo City.
Lu Zhengkang's appearance would have been driven out of the city if it weren't for the cover-up.
After spending eight or nine days in Luo City, Lu Zhengkang was sure that the Zhou family, his old friend, was no longer in the city, so he followed up with the people here to find out where the Zhou family was. It turns out that there are indeed many people with the surname Zhou, and there are three or five households.
, but Lu Zhengkang went around the door of each room in the middle of the night, but Yujue didn't respond.
Later, I learned that one of the Zhou family had moved out to the Southeast Segawa area. It was a poor place, and the best settlement was a town. There were many mountains, broken plains, poor soil, and the world-famous stone forest landscape.
There are quite a lot of contacts among literati and poets.
Lu Zhengkang went out for a stroll. He had just walked half a mile and left the road when he immediately noticed a boy chasing him.
He thought to himself, who could see through his deception, could it be a monk?
Lu Zhengkang quickened his pace and immediately got away from the pursuer.
Now he was sure that it was a mortal boy.
Lu Zhengkang walked around behind him and was about to speak when the boy suddenly turned around and stared at Lu Zhengkang in surprise.
"Is there someone... an Immortal Chief?! Immortal Chief, my disciples are sincere to the Tao." The child immediately knelt down and kowtowed, his face covered with mud.
Lu Zhengkang thought, am I just going to attract the little boy's favor?
After removing the blindfold, his body was revealed in front of the boy. He kowtowed even more. Lu Zhengkang waved his hand and used his magic power to lift the boy up, "Let me ask you, why do you ask?"
The child said without thinking, "Because it's so interesting... Well, it's different, it's weird, it's just very different."
"Why is it different?" Lu Zhengkang crossed his arms.
"The immortals are very respected, and they are never afraid of not having enough to eat. They can live the same life wherever they are."
Lu Zhengkang shook his head, "Those who have the ability can do it, you don't have to ask for it. Look at those people who have real skills, how are they not respected by others?"
The boy shook his head vigorously, like a dog shaking water, "It's different, it's just different."
Lu Zhengkang quite liked the child's cleverness, "It's different, then it's different." He still walked forward on his own. The boy caught up with him and knelt down in front of him, "Master, please accept me as your disciple!
"
"Aren't you afraid that I am a bad person?"
"Don't be afraid." The boy had two lines of clear nose because of his excitement and strenuous exercise. "No matter what kind of person Master is, since I met you, it must be fate. Nothing in the world is not fate.
When it comes to you, I must seek advice from you!"
Lu Zhengkang was confused, "Do you still know about fate?"
"Before, our family took in a great monk. He taught my father many principles. Later, my father told me the principles."
"Let's talk and listen." Lu Zhengkang pulled him up, "Let's talk as we walk. I'm going to Segawa. You kid, if you can't do it, go home early. It's still noon. Why don't your family trust you to run away?
Coming out?"
"My father died, and my mother no longer cared about me. She found another man to remarry, and that man was not good to me."
Lu Zhengkang didn't mean any pity, he just nodded to show that he knew. When the boy saw this, he felt much more comfortable. He was also afraid that the immortal in front of him would show concern, which would be different from other stupid adults.
"That monk said a lot. My father's memory is very fragmentary, but one thing he told me was that people live between breaths."
Lu Zhengkang understood, "What do you think of this person living between breaths?"
"I don't understand. People will die if they don't breathe, but they will die if they don't eat or drink."
"Well, children don't need to know the truth." Lu Zhengkang thought for a while, "Are you sure you won't go back and take a look? After all, your mother-in-law is still alive."
"When I learn magic in the future, it will be useful to go to her. But if I go to her now, all she will do is cry twice."
"Then if you leave like this, won't she be even more sad?"
"Now that I'm gone, my stepfather can treat her better."
"What's your name?"
"Chu Renjie."
"You will be a hero in life, and you will be a hero in death. What a great name. Come with me."
