In the cave, sparks flickered, illuminating four young faces of different colors, all of whom seemed to be lost in their own thoughts. Apex 23S.

"The Wuyue ancestral land where the great master Lu Guanchao lived was originally the territory of our Song Dynasty. But over the years, whether it was against the Southern Wei Dynasty, the Northern Jin Dynasty, or the East China Sea, we have repeatedly suffered defeats in the war, and we had to cede territory to pay compensation and endure humiliation.
.
As a representative of the main war faction, he was not tolerated by the peace-seeking faction, and was eventually forced to leave his homeland and travel far away to the Central Tang Dynasty. This journey lasted hundreds of years!"
Sang Heng said quietly.
Wu Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, sighed secretly, and also sneered.
I remember there was a saying in my previous life, peace is always spoken with fists!
Throughout the past dynasties, when China suffered disasters, heroes emerged in large numbers, but their ends were equally tragic.
Those who are full of benevolence and righteousness, have poems and books passed down to the world, and quote scriptures, all regard themselves as the sovereign state of heaven, and regard the countries around the world as barbarians.
Holding a book every day, he shouted that peace was the most important thing and that the barbarians lacked education. As long as Confucianism was spread, people from all over the world could come to the court.
The final result is that others use their own inventions to pry open the country's door, losing power and humiliating the country, nothing more than that!
The Five Husties brought chaos to China and destroyed the Han Dynasty, the Anshi Rebellion ended the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and the Jingkang Disaster can be called the pillar of shame of ancient China!
In these tragedies, there are all traces of Confucian civil servants!
"My Lu family is originally from a scholarly family. Our ancestors had great ambitions and were able to become great Confucian scholars, but they could not save the world. So they abandoned literature and martial arts and joined the army. They became great masters and ranked at the top of the Five Kingdoms. However, they were forced to stay away from their ancestral land. How sad!
It hurts!"
The eyes of the Lu siblings were red and their faces looked sad.
Wu Ming nodded silently.
I have learned about some of the darkest periods of ancient Chinese history and cited the tragic endings of those heroes, and I am deeply moved.
"Mr. Guanchao is an exception after all. There are still many like-minded people!"
The embarrassment on Sang Heng's pretty face flashed away, and she murmured an explanation.
"If the royal family of Zhao and Song Dynasties had not been weak, how would our ancestors have fled to the Central Tang Dynasty?"
Lu Ziqing clenched his fist angrily and made a banging sound, obviously very angry.
"That's not necessarily the case!"
Wu Ming shook his head slightly.
Although he has no personal experience, even if he only talks about it, he can always understand the different feelings based on his knowledge and experience.
"Grandpa also said that the records in the handwritten notes left by our ancestors are not solely due to the royal family of Zhao and Song Dynasties. They are complicated and difficult to understand, and even involve the struggle for the holy way. It's just that our strength is low and our knowledge is shallow, so we can't delve into it!"
Lu Zijin said softly.
"The battle for the holy way!"
Several people's expressions froze, especially Wu Ming, who was even more shocked.
Unexpectedly, the Lu family hundreds of years ago was already involved in the struggle for the Holy Way!
"I remember a rumor from the mid-Tang Dynasty that the Sword Immortal once said that our ancestors had a difficult knot in their hearts and had shortcomings in the holy path. It would be a pity if we could not meet each other!
Could it be that some people don’t want to see their ancestors become saints? Wouldn’t this be digging their own graves and abandoning the human race?”
Lu Ziqing said in a cold voice.
"The Sword Immortal is the most powerful Qinglian Sword Immortal Li Qingge in the world?"
Wu Ming's pupils suddenly shrank, and a bright light rose in his heart, as if he had touched something, but also as if there was nothing.
The feeling of nothingness, the desire to reach nowhere, and the extremely depressing feeling!
"Exactly!"
Lu Ziqing's face showed admiration.
"It is a bit exaggerated to say that I am the best in the world. At least saints from all countries have never fought against each other after enlightenment. How can I be ranked first? Take my ancestor Chao Xuan Sheng as an example. Is there anyone in the world who dares to say that he will definitely win?
Live with his old man?"
Sang Heng said unhappily.
"Sister, the ancestor of Xuan Sheng is recognized by the human race as the ancestor of spiritual officials. Who dares to be disrespectful to him?
Even if the Sword Immortal is in front of you, you still have to consider yourself a junior, let alone take action!"
Lu Zijin chuckled.
Lu Ziqing patted her shoulder and said with a smile: "You are all right, the saints who are the spiritual officials of various countries in China are all powerful in this world.
With every move they make, they have the ability to destroy the heaven and the earth, and they won’t do it easily! Not to mention them, even the great master rarely takes action, and it is impossible to distinguish between superior and inferior. However, the senior Sword Immortal ranked among the top ten saints of the Five Kingdoms who is universally recognized.
One, it hasn’t changed over the years, that’s recognition!”
"Rumors cannot be believed at all, but if they are groundless, there must be a reason!"
Seeing that Sang Heng still wanted to argue, Wu Ming quickly stopped.
This girl speaks too bluntly and has no control over her words. She might say something shocking again.
He was trying to learn about the affairs of Zhongtang from the Lu brothers and sisters, but he didn't want to get entangled in such matters.
As for who is strong and who is weak, that is the Saint, and is not an existence they can touch at all. There is no point in fighting over it!
"My cousin is right!"
Lu Ziqing nodded and did not continue the previous topic.
Wu Ming suddenly thought of a possibility and asked: "When you went to the Gu family, did you reveal your identity?"
"Yes, originally their attitude was quite good, but after learning that we came to join Third Grandpa, their attitude changed!"
Lu Zijin was still angry with the Gu family, and his words were full of dissatisfaction.
"So, the Gu family knows that the Lu family's foundation in the Mid-Tang Dynasty has been destroyed?"
Wu Ming subconsciously tapped his knees, and his fingers began to move very regularly.
This is his habit when thinking!
"We thought that Third Grandpa would have a good life in the Gu family. After all, he is an innate strong man. We never imagined that it would turn out like this.
After that, I asked them about the second grandfather, but everyone in the Gu family said they didn’t know. Now it seems that there must be something fishy!"
The Lu brothers and sisters are not stupid, on the contrary, they are very smart.
After being betrayed before, I had already vaguely guessed something about it, but I just didn't have a clue.
"You are new here. You have only been to Gu's house and hired a bodyguard to escort you. Where do you plan to go?"
Wu Ming asked again.
"Originally I planned to go to Baiya City and all the way to the imperial city of Bianliang, which was the most prosperous place in the Eastern Song Dynasty, so I could get some news."
Although Lu Ziqing didn't understand what it meant, he still answered truthfully.
"So, the Gu family knows your whereabouts?"
Hearing this, even a simple person like Sang Heng felt something was wrong.
"Cousin, what do you mean, the Gu family sent people to intercept and kill us? But why? There is no grievance or enmity, and we are still in-laws. Aren't the Gu family afraid of failure and being cast aside by the human race?"
Lu Zijin's pretty face turned pale and he murmured.
"Hey, there is indeed no grievance. If you knew the purpose of the Gu family in bringing me to the Baichuan Mountains, you wouldn't think so!"
Wu Ming exposed himself coldly, and the cold light in his eyes flashed away.
They forced Gu Yun to death, desecrated the tomb of her maternal ancestors, and were pursued by Gu Jinglong. It can be called an unending feud!
If not for chance, he would have been feeding fish at the bottom of the river!
Seeing that he didn't explain the reason, Sang Heng rolled his eyes.
"Then... what my cousin means is, what is the purpose of the Gu family?"
Lu Ziqing's expression was solemn. It was a matter of family and life, so he couldn't help but be careless.
"Why else? Since the Lu family suffered a disaster and you are the only direct bloodline left, maybe even the only one, why do you think it is?"
Having seen the faces of people from the Gu family, Wu Ming thought on his knees and understood their purpose.
""Guan Chao You Long Jing"!"
The Lu brothers and sisters looked at each other and gasped, feeling frightened and even more frightened!
"Hey, there is no airtight wall in the world, and the Gu family still has some dignity!
You are visiting relatives openly and honestly. If you go in but don’t come out, people will find out sooner or later. Who dares to associate with the Gu family again?
But through Huya Pirates, he was wanted by the Gu family afterwards, so no matter the outcome, it was justified.
As for the participation of Zhenwei Escort Bureau, it is not difficult to imagine who in this area dares to disrespect the orders of the Gu family?"
Wu Ming sneered.
"But through Huya Pirates and Zhenwei Escort, isn't there the same risk of leaking information?
You know, I was seriously injured and my strength is less than 50% of what I was at my peak. My sister has no cultivation, so just any artistic conception master will be enough!
Why put up such a big formation and go through so many twists and turns?"
Although Lu Ziqing believed that the Gu family was involved, he still couldn't figure out the key.
"You guys are too young!"
Sang Heng glanced at Wu Ming and explained in an old-fashioned way, "Every family has the habit of cultivating dark forces within their sphere of influence.
This Huya Bandit seems to be a bandit, and it's possible that one of the bosses is a direct descendant of the Gu family.
As for the Zhenwei Escort Agency, it's even simpler. You can just ignore it by saying that the sect's intentions are evil, and it doesn't have to be clear about the purpose!"
Wu Ming gave a thumbs up as a sign of praise.
It has to be said that although Sang Heng is simple, he has a good family background and is influenced by his ears and eyes, and he knows many secrets that ordinary people don't know.
Light and darkness coexist!
In every family, there will be direct line forces cultivated to do some dirty work!
"Damn it, that's what it is!"
Lu Ziqing suddenly realized, and struck the stone with a fierce palm, leaving a palm print as deep as a finger, but not damaging other parts of the boulder at all, which shows the profound control of his palm power!
"Sister, cousin, if the Gu family goes on a rampage to pursue us, what should we do?"
Lu Zijin's face tightened and he was afraid.
"Don't worry, everything will be taken care of by my sister. Although this is the territory of the Gu family, it is also the territory of the Song Dynasty. The legal principles are still there and we cannot tolerate their arrogance!"
Seeing the mulberry sprouting solidly, Wu Ming couldn't help but touch his forehead with his hand and turned his face away.
"Cousin, "Guan Chao You Long Jing" is a true scripture of magical power. It includes body skills, martial arts, fists and kicks, weapons, miscellaneous meridians, acupoints, and even talisman formations. It all covers the holy path.
, do you want to learn?”
Lu Ziqing hesitated for a moment, his expression indescribably serious.
After hearing this, the two women couldn't help but look at Wu Ming.
To everyone's surprise, Wu Ming shook his head simply and clearly.
"Why? Do you know that nearly a year ago, the swordsmen at the Holy Martial Arts Conference all said that in terms of swordsmanship alone, the people who are expected to be comparable to him, except for the Tianyuan swordsman of the Song Dynasty, are the late ancestors!"
Lu Ziqing simply couldn't understand it and thought Wu Ming didn't know the value of a true scripture.
"Swordsman of Tianyuan!"
Wu Ming chewed it several times, stood up, walked to the entrance of the cave, looked at the stars, and said nothing for a long time.
A shooting star streaked across the sky!
The three of them were shocked by his reaction and thought he was thinking about it.
"Cousin, do you think..."
Lu Zijin's beautiful eyes flashed, indescribably bright.
"Don't say it!"
Wu Ming waved his hand to stop him, his expression was indescribably serious, even harsh!
The three of them vaguely understood something, but looking at Wu Ming's expression, they knew that he would not say it clearly, so they could only bury their questions deep in their hearts!
No one knew that Wu Ming, who had been extremely interested in rumors and anecdotes since coming to China, almost caught the truth with just a few words!
