City God Xin Zhanting raised his glass and paid homage to Lu Zheng from a distance, then raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
“Good wine!”
Lu Zheng put down his cup, took a piece of roasted chicken with chopsticks and put it into his mouth to drink some wine.
It is said that he didn't drink much in modern times, but when he came to Da Jing Dynasty, he would either drink with Mr. Liu or Xin Zhanting, and now his drinking capacity has increased.
"Brother Lu, you are still in vain and have no fame?" Xin Zhanting looked at Lu Zheng in surprise.
Lu Zheng shook his head, "No."
Xin Zhanting blinked and said with some confusion, "With my literary talent, it is not easy to go to Zhongjing to get the top prize, and to get the title of Juren in the provincial examination. Are all the examiners blind?"
Lu Zheng shook his head again, "No, I have never taken the provincial examination. I have no interest in becoming an official."
Raising his wine glass, Lu Zheng said with a smile, "My ideal is to travel to Mucang Mountain in the East China Sea, play the flute with a pot of wine, watch the clouds in the day and stars at night, and not envy the officials or immortals."
Xin Zhanting's eyes were bright, "What a spirit!"
Then he shook his head and said, "It's a pity that a natural-born monk cannot be used by the court."
Lu Zheng laughed again when he heard this, "Didn't my wife provide a lot of incense for Brother Xin?"
Xin Zhanting couldn't help but nodded and laughed again, "Exactly! Exactly!"
Judge Li was drinking and shaking his head, "If the peach blooms, it will burn its flowers. When the son returns, it will be suitable for his family."
Putting down his wine glass, Judge Li said with admiration, "What a wonderful poem! Although the style of poetry is not gorgeous, the words are simple, the images are vivid, and it touches people's hearts directly."
Xin Zhanting nodded and said, "Since the opening of the Peach Blossom Temple, countless people have burned incense and prayed. The incense in the Peach Blossom Temple is so prosperous that it is no longer even under my underworld."
Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows.
Xin Zhanting couldn't hide the smile on his face, "The incense and fragrance given to us by Peach Blossom Temple is enough to keep us fed and drunk from top to bottom. We can't stop practicing all day long!"
Xin Zhanting raised his glass to Lu Zheng, "After we continue our training for a while, I will lead my men straight into the Netherworld and destroy King Yelan of Yelan Mountain first!
If this matter is successful, Brother Lu and Mrs. Shen will both have a share of the credit!"
Lu Zheng raised his glass and then waved his hands and said, "That's how powerful Brother Xin is. All the soldiers of the Yin Division sacrifice their lives. What contribution can my wife and I make?"
Besides, according to the laws of the Dajing Dynasty, the distribution of incense from the Peach Blossom Temple to the Yin Division is a public matter, so how can it be regarded as a credit?"
Lu Zheng didn't dare to take the credit for this. He still knew what things he could get his hands on and what things he couldn't touch.
"Haha!" Xin Zhanting sneered, "In addition to the Peach Blossom Temple, there are also many small temples and ancestral halls consecrated by the imperial court, but the extra incense that can be enshrined is better than nothing. How can Mrs. Shen's Peach Blossom Temple have such a flourishing incense?
And if it weren't for your famous poem "Peach Blossom", Brother Lu, the incense in Mrs. Shen's Peach Blossom Temple would probably be similar to other lands of mountain gods.
Now that your poems are in line with the ancestral hall, the prosperity of your incense has directly doubled the strength of the Yinsi of Tonglin County. If you don’t take the credit, could it be that I, the clay-born city god who is in a corpse position and eats nothing, do?”
Lu Zheng just shook his head, and then clinked glasses with Xin Zhanting and drank, but he just didn't take the credit.
"Tch, I'm not happy, come on, come on, compete with me, it's still fun!"
Lu Zheng stood up with a smile, took the long knife from the guard, and came to the school grounds with Xin Zhanting.
It was another hearty battle.
The strength gap between Lu Zheng and Xin Zhanting has also narrowed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Lu Zheng has even been able to force out some of Xin Zhanting's true strength at this time.
"Brother Lu, you are really a genius in cultivation! How do you practice? Even if Mrs. Shen absorbs half of your incense, it won't be so fast, right?" Xin Zhanting was shocked.
Lu Zheng smiled slightly, "I went into the mountains a few days ago and got a Zhima. I raised it in Taohuaping. I also found some stalactite springs. I drink a lot of them on weekdays, which is helpful for cultivation."
Xin Zhanting gave a thumbs up, "You are still the fastest among strangers in cultivation. Your cultivation in the past six months is comparable to the decades I have been a ghost. You are indeed a born cultivation seed!"
"Besides..." Xin Zhanting couldn't help but laugh a little when he said this, "Does your master know your current level of cultivation?"
Lu Zheng was stunned, remembering that he had not let Taoist Master Ming Zhang explore his Qi cultivation for a long time.
Since the last time I was taught "White Cloud Swordsmanship", I have been practicing with incense gas during this period, and I have been so extravagant that I have been consuming the light of luck to practice. More than 250 lights of luck have been consumed to less than one Bai, to be honest, his own strength has increased to a level that Lu Zheng himself cannot clearly grasp.
After all, the golden finger of Jade Seal didn't give him a progress bar, and there was no level of cultivation in this world to compare with.
"Uh, I don't know."
Xin Zhanting nodded, "Well, it's okay not to know."
Before Lu Zheng could speak, Xin Zhanting took him back to the main hall to drink.
…
In the middle of the night, Lu Zheng went home and lay on the bed. He was slightly drunk and couldn't sleep for a while, so he sat cross-legged on the bedside and continued to meditate and practice Qi.
In other words, this month has been almost the most boring month Lu Zheng has ever had.
In modern times, Lin Wan has become increasingly busy, but she has not rented out the two-bedroom apartment, and the "Eighteen Styles of Dancing Mountain" has not stopped. Lu Zheng will come to teach every weekend.
In ancient times, Lu Zheng either practiced on his own or went to Renxintang for consultation. Seeing Renxintang's reputation growing in Tonglin County, Liu Qingyan was kind-hearted and could cure diseases with medicine. In the minds of the people of Tonglin County, , has surpassed Liu Laozhang, the chief doctor of Renxintang.
Even Lu Zheng sometimes felt that he was so dazzled that he could see the golden light flickering on Liu Qingyan's body. If it hadn't disappeared when he looked closely, Lu Zheng would have thought that Liu Qingyan was about to become a saint on the spot.
In addition, as Lu Zheng's cultivation level gets higher and higher, he consumes the light of destiny faster and faster.
After a while, it is estimated that the remaining ninety-six rays of luck will not be able to hold on for long.
"These peaceful days are really both loved and hated..."
"You said that you, a plug-in, still have to take a share of other people's luck. You said that if you give me a little more power and steal it directly from the way of heaven, won't your master be able to survive until the end of time?"
"It's okay now. I still have to think about where to go to get things done."
Lu Zheng rubbed his chin, thinking that it had rained in this area yesterday, so it was time to go to the mountains to get some stalactite springs again.
"Whoa!"
The room suddenly became cold.
"Master Lu!"
It was the voice of Duan Zhong, the city patrol envoy from the Yin Division.
"Is there something wrong, Inspector Duan?" Lu Zheng got out of bed and opened the door.
As a result, they unexpectedly discovered that there was not only Duan Zhong outside the door, but also two other city patrol envoys and thirty city god soldiers.
