Chapter 30: The Lord of the Lu Family
After staying like this for a few more days, Shi Qi Zhenren and Gu Ming took Xiaoyu together, and after we waited for them to leave, Lu Yuan said to me, "Shui Erdao, what I promised a few days ago, I don't know if it's good to go now." ”
As soon as I heard it, this is asking me to take Duobao Pavilion to choose a baby, who is too early to take advantage, I nodded while preparing to beckon Lu Worm to join me, but this kid started fighting with me first Haha, "Brother Wu, this matter involves the privacy of the Lu family, it is not appropriate for me to go, Elder Qin, I have been in Hangzhou for so many days, and I haven't gone out to go around, and they all say that the beautiful scenery of West Lake is unique in the world, why don't we go and take a look today?"
Old Qin didn't smile, just nodded, and Lu Yuan immediately answered, "What Brother Lu said is that it seems that our Lu family is neglecting, Xiao Wei, you can arrange to take a few guests to the lake to enjoy the scenery, and serve carefully." ”
A young man in gray behind Lu Yuan answered, and went to arrange the vehicle, Lu Yuan said goodbye to a few people, took me into a car, and didn't bring a driver, just the two of us, think about it and understand, this is the secret place to go, naturally the fewer people who know, the better.
There was nothing to say all the way, it was all small talk, I cooperated with the hum of a few words, Lu Yuan drove through the streets and alleys, slowly the high-rise buildings became fewer and fewer, the gray tile cornices were more, the car stopped at the mouth of a dilapidated and damp alley, the two of us got out of the car, Lu Yuan took the road, walked to a three-story small attic and knocked on the door, shouted a local dialect inside, I didn't understand, Lu Yuan replied that it was me, this is Mandarin, the door was opened, I walked in with Lu Yuan, and looked at the person who opened the door, it was a middle-aged man wearing a half-placket collar top, I realized that the Lu family is particular about wearing clothes, and the more modern the status is, the more marginal it is, on the contrary, it is the core character, and the clothes are more retro.
Lu Yuan led me into a room on the side, this room is simple, a bookshelf, a desk, a few chairs, ordinary, Lu Yuan stood next to the bookshelf, took out a few books, ticked and pressed, the bookshelf slowly moved to the side, showing a secret passage, I secretly sighed, there are so many lost cultures in ancient China, but none of these crooked ways have been lost, I glanced at the bookshelf when I walked to the dark passage, okay, it is still advancing with the times, the place where Lu Yuan just operated, it is a combination lock of the latest model.
The dark passage is not long, more than 20 steps, I just went down to the end, before I turned around, I heard the whistling wind in my ears, I didn't have time to think about it, the instinct was to roll forward, and when I got up, I threw out the three steel needles that had just been drawn from the ankle belt by impression.
I can only take care of the steel needle to look over, it is on the right side of the staircase, about four or five meters away from the wall, there are two Taishi chairs, sandwiched in the middle of a high several, a few high left Taishi chair sat a little old man in a long shirt, shaved a small flat head, a wisp of goatee, when I threw the three steel needles over, he was holding a Sancai bowl to drink tea, watching me shoot, just said a good word, but the body did not move, the Sancai bowl was sent outward, the bell three sounds, and the steel needle was blown away with a cover, bowl, and support.
I was taken aback, to know that my three steel needles are not the pig iron of the past, but mixed with silicon chromium and other more than a dozen alloys of ultra-hard steel, what is the Sancai bowl, that is finely burned bone china, the value is in art, not in hardness, and my steel needle collision, is not the same as hitting a stone with an egg, and now it is hard to fly my steel needle, it can only be said that this old man's dark strength cultivation is really powerful.
I casually pulled out three more steel needles from my waist and dangled them between my fingers, anyway, it was just a hasty shot, it is not surprising that he can break it, now that the sneak attack has passed, it is still unknown who will kill the deer.
The old man was not as vigilant as me, smiled slightly, stroked his beard, and then put a hand on my shoulder from behind, my fingers tightened and my heart was cold, I calculated everything, how could I forget that Lu Yuan was still behind me.
"Brother Zhang Wu, don't be nervous, the head of my family has always been playful and has no malicious intent, look at what this is. ”
As the so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, he doesn't have an advantage at the moment, and I also fell into a frank position, took the steel needle casually, and turned around to look at Lu Yuan's hand. He was holding a slender box in his hand, thinking that it was the thing that had attacked me just now, so I didn't pick it up, but just turned around to look at the old man, the head of the Lu family, why was he here.
The old man seemed to know what I was confused about, so he stood up with his hands on his knees, turned one hand behind his back, and said with a smile, "Zhang Wu Xiaoyou, the old man is the head of the Lu family, and Lu An is also." ”
Lu An walked over, took the box from Lu Yuan's hand, and handed it to me, "Xiaoyou might as well look at this thing first, and then you will know the sincerity of my Lu family." ”
I took the box in disbelief, twisted the buckle and opened it, and looked at it, there was a white wooden branch in the box, I reached out and picked it up, rubbed it a few times, although the wooden branch looked like a dead thing, under the friction, it slowly overflowed a little vitality, I suddenly woke up to what it was, and I felt a stream of blood rushing to the brain, and my heart suddenly burst into an uproar.
I stabilized my mind, put the wooden branch back in the box, closed the lid and re-locked the turnbuckle, didn't speak, just stared at Lu An, this old man is old, he must have seen countless people and worldly affairs, and he has long become a human spirit, at this moment my eyes are so sharp, he can't see it, just beckoned me to sit on the Taishi chair, and by the way, let Lu Yuan pour two more cups of tea.
I wasn't polite, as soon as my butt was next to the stool, I heard Lu An say, "Zhang Wu Xiaoyou, the old man has something unclear, and I ask Xiaoyou to teach me." In the past, when Xiaoyou took the sycamore wood of the Gu family, the old man had heard of Xiaoyou, and I think Xiaoyou should also know that the legend of the four sacred trees was first recorded in the book of the ground, and the book was divided into several volumes.
As soon as Lu An said this, I knew that he and the Gu family knew the same, and I thought about it, these two families have supported each other for many years, and the common information is naturally not a problem, but since I came out of the rivers and lakes in Linzhou again, it has only been one or two decades, and I have met the Huangtian Pavilion, Pinghokusai, Beiquanyuan, the Gu family and the current Lu family, it is not unfortunate, but it is a bit too coincidental, if everyone sees me clearly, then what I planned back then has not become a big joke?
I tried my best to sort out the clues in my heart that year and the past, I wanted to see what flaws there were, it would be so big, just in this gap of my thinking, Lu Yuan brought two cups of tea over, I took a cup and put it on the high table, Lu An held it in his hand and touched the taste, Xu saw that I was silent, Lu An said again, "Xiaoyou don't have to think about it, if it is really ambition that has passed, there is no reason to take back the things sent by my Lu family, but it is a pity that Xiaoyou, the best of the people is down." ”
I sneered in my heart, this is to provoke me with words, but this Lu An is a handful of years old in vain, and he doesn't even understand the truth that he doesn't even know how to say ten thousand words, but he doesn't know that the more you say, the less doubts I have, and now I wonder if I really chose to give up, which proves that he doesn't know my true purpose, but he just probed a little bit and deceived me. I picked up the teacup casually, my heart had calmed down, I glanced at Lu An with squinted eyes, and asked, "You know?"
"What do I know?" Lu An was also a little stunned by my fierce question, then reacted and said with a smile, "Xiaoyou is talking about those small actions of Ping Hokusai on the ground in Hangzhou, yes, since you entered the country, someone has been responsible for monitoring, Ping Hokusai is so big, crossing the line and stepping on the pile, he actually dares to dispatch half a hundred, I am afraid that the treasure under the West Lake will be saved." ”
Sure enough, I said that such a large-scale tomb, the Lu family has been operating here for many years, how could they not know, at the moment Ping Hokusai thinks that he is acting confidentially, and wants to seek his own treasure, the Lu family just pushes the boat down the river, and has some thoughts in it, but I have doubts in my heart, so I asked casually, "Since the head of the Lu family knows that there is something under the West Lake, why didn't he take it first, but waited for others to come and get involved?"
Lu An was silent for a while, then put down the teacup, "Okay, Lu will explain one or two details with Xiaoyou today, one to solve Xiaoyou's confusion, to show Lu's sincerity, and secondly, I really don't hide it, Lu does have a thing, I want to discuss with Xiaoyou, and today I will talk about this underwater danger to Xiaoyou, so as not to let Xiaoyou be in danger, die underwater, and when the old decay comes, won't it be too late to regret it." “
According to legend, the battle of Jingyan, after the Yongle Emperor defeated the Jianwen Emperor, moved the capital to Yanjing, this move to the capital, it is not trivial, the literature and etiquette are complicated, there is no exception, just a cumbersome thing, it will definitely go wrong, a few small eunuchs in the palace, recalling the grace of Emperor Jianwen, taking advantage of the busy time in the city, stole some things at will, and they went away to fly high, unwilling to serve with the Yongle Emperor. It was a very small matter, and it didn't matter, but there was a little eunuch among them, who stole not only gold and silver, but also an old book in the clerical room, which was crowded with dust. “
"The words on this old book, no one can read it, so it was thrown in the corner, and no one cared about it for many years, this little eunuch didn't mean it, but he felt that the emperor's things, no matter how shabby they were, were worth more than the common people. The little eunuch later returned to his hometown, accustomed to the prosperity of the imperial city, felt that he didn't want to do anything in the countryside, and drank heavily every day, and when the money for the stolen utensils was spent, he really couldn't do anything, so he thought about exchanging the book for some money. The master of the pawn shop took a look, a ghost drawing talisman, and drove it out with a coax, the little eunuch had no choice but to beg to live, and then met a good man, and received the book for ten cents, because he couldn't understand it, and he threw it aside after buying it back, and after a long time, the book was left behind by the people, and it was no longer known. “
