Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Eighth Participation in the Cloud Palace
After Chen Zhiyu turned into a ray of light and left the woods, the man in green who was contaminated with soul-seeking powder also dodged the pursuers and escaped successfully.
The Northern Qi Dynasty visited the Lu family in Yungu.
The moon hung high in the sky, and in the dense forest, the sounds of birds and beasts roared from time to time.
From far to near, you can see a glimmer of light coming from a beautifully carved and painted hall halfway up the mountain.
Taking a closer look, there is a plaque hanging directly above the splendid hall. On it is engraved with three dragons and phoenixes dancing in golden paint, and the elegant characters read: Shenyun Palace.
At this time, a man with a broken arm was sitting at the top of the hall. This man was the only Foundation Establishment Master of the Lu family, and he accompanied Wang Zuhe to attack Lu Mingan of the Sun family at night.
At this time, there were some important backbones of the Lu family sitting on the left and right of his lower position. From a glance, there were about seven or eight people. Those with the lowest cultivation level were at the seventh level of Qi training. These were the elites of the Lu family.
Behind them were lights swaying in the wind and some bronze cranes and flying bears used to decorate the main hall, which looked quite impressive.
"Shunhai, how is the situation of the family-run store recently?"
Lu Mingan sat in the upper hand position, and the old god asked comfortably.
As for what he was thinking, no one knew.
A middle-aged man stood up, raised his hands respectfully and said:
"Uncle Qi, the stores in Fangshi run by the family are in good condition, and the income from Yunfang City..."
About half an hour later, this tribesman named Lu Shunhai explained the family's recent income and expenditure.
Lu Mingan nodded repeatedly, obviously very satisfied with this Lu Shunhai tribesman, and there was a hint of comfort in his eyes.
He had broken his arm, and it would be difficult for him to progress in his cultivation. Even if he was lucky enough to advance to a few levels, he would just stay in the foundation building stage.
What he was most anxious about at this time was to quickly train the next foundation-building monk for his family.
But before that, he still had to ask about the family's financial situation. After all, he broke an arm, which had a great impact on his lifespan and cultivation.
Although I don’t expect to make further progress, I at least want to maintain my current state and stabilize my injuries!
Otherwise, he would have passed away before he could train the next Master of Foundation Establishment for the Lu family, and by then he would have become a hot commodity in the Lu family.
Now the situation in Tianhuang County has begun to become a bit confusing. If the Lu family didn't have him, they would probably be the cannon fodder at the front.
To stabilize his injuries and maintain his cultivation, he needed elixirs and elixirs, which all required the use of spirit stones, so he was going to use his family's spirit stones.
"But...but..."
After the tribesman named Lu Shunhai finished speaking, there was still some hesitation on his face. His mouth moved, but he hesitated to speak.
Lu Mingan, who was sitting in the upper hand position, naturally noticed his nephew's strange behavior, so he frowned and shouted:
"But what, tell me!"
As the only foundation-building master of the Lu family, Lu Mingan has accumulated prestige for many years. After a loud shout, Lu Shunhai immediately knelt down and said:
"Our Lu family members stationed in Wukesongfang City have lost contact!"
"and……"
Lu Shunhai was frightened by the loud shouts from his own Master Ji Zhu, and his words became even more hesitant.
"And what!"
Lu Mingan had an angry and gloomy look on his face, and with his remaining intact arm, he slapped the armrest on the side hard.
This shop in Wukesongfang City can bring a lot of spiritual stone income to the Lu family every year. If something goes wrong, it will be serious.
He had been upset because he had lost an arm recently, and now he heard the news again. In addition, he hated people who were hesitant in speaking. However, Lu Shunhai stopped talking again and again today, but he hit the muzzle of the gun.
.
Lu Shunhai fell to the ground and said in fear:
"Fifth brother, sixth brother, and seventh brother's soul cards are broken!"
"What?"
"Can you say that again!"
Lu Mingan stood up suddenly, and the pressure from his body spread everywhere, making the seven or eight tribesmen below him unable to move.
"Fifth brother..."
"Fifth brother, sixth brother, and seventh brother are dead."
Lu Shunhai paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth and finished the sentence.
Time seemed to have stopped at this moment, and the flickering lights in the hall swayed even more fiercely, reflecting mysterious shadows one after another on the walls.
"You mean Shun Choi and the others are dead?"
Lu Mingan's eyes were staring outside the hall, and there was already a look of fear and horror on his face. As for his thoughts, he had already gone to the other side of the sky.
"Yes"
Lu Shuncai finished speaking resignedly, and then did not speak again.
"Plop" sound
Lu Mingan's eyes went blank and he sat straight on the chair.
"It's over, it's over"
Lu Mingan murmured to himself.
"Supreme Elder, what's over?"
A bold old man with gray hair and beard stood up and asked.
Judging from his clothes, age and his eighth-level Qi training, it seems that this person's status in the Lu family is not low.
The other tribesmen below also looked at each other, wondering what happened to the Supreme Elder.
Three clansmen who were in the late stage of Qi training died. Although the loss was great, it was obviously not to the point where the Taishang Elder was so distracted!
However, they did not dare to ask more questions. After all, Lu Mingan was the only foundation-building monk of their Lu family, and he was also the patron saint of their Lu family. His status was so high that they could not question it casually.
Just take a look at the cultivator families in Tianhuang County who do not have a Foundation Establishment Master, and you will know that without a Foundation Establishment Master in charge, they will not have enough to eat, are bullied by casual cultivators, and are in danger of being destroyed at any time.
Relatively speaking, although the Lu family with Lu Mingan also has powerful enemies spying on them, their life is much better after all.
Lu Mingan just stared blankly at the top of the hall, paying no attention to the clansmen below.
After a while, Lu Mingan's face returned to a calm look, and then he asked some questions about the division of territory in Xijiang County.
An old man who looked like he was about to be buried said angrily:
"Elder Taishang, the Donglin Ye family is really bullying people. They have taken over most of those small and valuable mineral veins, as well as several hundred-year-old elixirs in the Sun family's elixir garden."
"besides……"
"Let's go with the Ye family. At least we can get some things and exchange them for a lot of spiritual stones or other cultivation resources."
Lu Mingan spoke up and stopped the clansman who was about to continue talking.
Wang Zuhe naturally picked up some of the most valuable things from the Sun family that day, but after all, he had already taken Sun Hongyao's storage bag, so he didn't want to overdo it, so he still left some things for the two families.
of.
Although Wang Zuhe said that the Lu family should choose first, Lu Mingan is self-aware.
There are two foundation-building masters in the Ye family, and there is only one in the Lu family. He also lost an arm. If he really picked out all the good things, I am afraid that the life of the Lu family will not be easy in the future. Therefore, he also treated his clan members before retreating.
There was an explanation, asking them to give way to the Ye family in the next allocation.
So in the end, the one who took advantage of the most and got the most things was the Donglin Ye family, and because he lost an arm, he started to retreat to recuperate as soon as he came back. These things were left to the rest of the Lu family to handle.
I just found out today.
But these things are not important now, there are more important things to do.
"But the Ye family has gone too far..."
However, the Lu family member who stood up seemed not to understand what Lu Mingan meant, or perhaps felt that he was older and more senior, so he was actually prepared to continue talking.
"I told you to stop talking, didn't you hear me?"
"Are you deaf or blind, or have you been in the position of an elder for too long and have forgotten the rules of the Lu family?"
Lu Mingan stood up again and looked at the old man with a pair of eyes like sharp swords. The old man was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Supreme Elder, it's me who offended you, it's my fault..."
"That's all. From today on, you are no longer the elder of my Lu family. Go and guard the ancestral temple and take care of your old age with peace of mind!"
Lu Mingan sighed and arranged.
He doesn't need people in Shenyun Palace who don't know how to look, who don't understand current affairs, who can't see the situation.
"The Supreme Elder..."
The old man was still ready to continue begging for mercy.
You must know that his position as an elder is very lucrative. He can get dozens or even hundreds of spiritual stones every year.
He still has future generations waiting for him to provide for him, and he hopes that they can go further than himself on the path of cultivation.
Although the job of guarding the ancestral temple sounds good, it is for the elderly who have meritorious service.
But anyone with a discerning eye would know right away that the person who took on this task was basically far away from the Lu family's inner circle. Since then, their status in the Lu family has dropped several notches.
Just when the old man was about to continue begging for mercy, another old man on the side blinked at him a few times, then stood up quickly and said:
"Minghuo, why don't you thank the Supreme Elder for his grace!"
"Why, fifteenth brother still has questions about my arrangements?"
At this time, Lu Mingan also turned his head and looked at the kneeling old man with a gloomy expression.
"I don't dare, I will open the fire to thank the Supreme Elder for his grace."
The old man named "Ming Huo" could only reply with a look of reluctance in his eyes. He had already scolded himself countless times in his heart, "Okay, why do you have to talk so much."
This was great, but because he was so focused on planning for the Lu family, he didn't get any benefits, and he was even removed from the position of elder.
well……
This old man already regrets it to death, but if he talks too much, he still has to suffer!
As for some people sitting on the sidelines, some showed sympathy, some were gloating, and some rolled their eyes, obviously having other ideas.
After all, when an elder comes down, it means that a position is vacant. This position must be filled by someone, and some quick-thinking people have already begun to make up their minds.
After all, although this sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. The Lu family has everything that a big family should and should not have.
"Okay, fifteenth brother, get up! Take good care of your ancestral temple from now on!"
Lu Mingan looked at Lu Minghuo and said with a smile.
However, he no longer had the gloomy and angry look just now, and there was no slightest hint of the lighthearted way he punished Lu Minghuo just now.
As for the expressions of the remaining tribesmen below, Lu Mingan also noticed it.
However, some of their thoughts are quite normal. After all, everyone has selfish motives, and he can accept it as long as it does not harm the interests of the Lu family.
But if anyone dares to do something outrageous, don't blame him for being a cruel elder.
A family without rules would not be successful, Lu Mingan knew this.
Afterwards, Lu Mingan asked some more minor questions, and then with a wave of his hand, he drove everyone away, leaving only Lu Shunhai and the old man who had just winked at Lu Minghuo.
The moonlight was gloomy, but the interior of Shenyun Hall was filled with seriousness.
