After the ancestor worship festival, the vendors on Liuli Street never saw Yan Laoba again.

There are different theories about his whereabouts, some say that he got drunk in the middle of the night and drowned in the moat, while others say that he was beaten to death with sticks and fed to dogs by the people of Yijinlou because he was in arrears of drinking money.

Only the little guy who was present at the time knew that Yan Laoba was not an old beggar at all, but an old immortal.

These are all later words, and then let's go back to Lu Ping'an.

Lu Ping'an wasn't sure if the killers sent by the Chen family and Lu Tianwang had given up the mission, and for the sake of safety, he had been staying in Liuli Street until dawn, and had temporarily canceled his plan to enter Daxu Mountain to cultivate.

Moreover, he felt compelled to reveal some rumors to the head of the house.

The northwest corner of the back garden of the Lu Mansion, in the Lu family library pavilion.

"Grandpa, I can guarantee with my life, one of the people who assassinated me yesterday used the Chen family's Nine Dragons Golden Crow, and there are also a group of people, I suspect ......"

Lu Ping'an paused when he said this, and then took out a Tuomu crossbow arrow from his sleeve and presented it to Lu Songyin, which he picked up when he escaped last night.

"Oh?" Lu Songyin frowned slightly, "You mean to say that there are clansmen in the mansion who want to harm you?"

"I'm just speculating based on clues. Lu Ping'an replied euphemistically.

He knew that although Lu Songyin didn't care about the affairs of the clan, it didn't mean that he would condone the slaughter of the clan, not to mention that he was still a genius with a Xuan-rank bloodline.

"Ping An, I heard that you signed up for the big competition in your personal name?"

After pondering for a while, Lu Songyin did not continue the topic, but turned to ask about something else.

"Well, that's right, I don't want to miss the opportunity to go to Jixia Academy. Lu Ping'an was anxious, but he still continued with the words.

"Well, since you've made up your mind, then I won't stop it. ”

Lu Songyin said, pinching his fingers, the crossbow arrow that Lu Ping'an used as evidence turned into ashes in an instant, "Ping'an, in the name of the head of the family, I specially allow you to enter and exit the library pavilion at will, but the books in the pavilion cannot be taken out." ”

"But ......"

"Peace, say no more. Lu Songyin interrupted in a deep voice, "I believe your words, and I know that there will be people in the clan who are jealous of your talent, but a crossbow arrow is not enough as evidence, do you want me to interrogate everyone who has access to the Tuomu crossbow one by one?"

Lu Songyin is at the moment of breaking through the triple level of the Yuan Martial Realm, and he has no time to distract from the affairs of the clan, and in principle, he can be stable.

And before Wanqiu Dabi, the whole Lu family must remain united, and there must be no internal chaos.

Hearing this, Lu Ping'an was dumbfounded.

Indeed, although he could be 100% sure that the person who sent the killer was Lu Tianwang, he had no substantial evidence.

"Thanks to the care of the head of the family, my grandson has retired. ”

Lu Ping'an thanked him and left the library without hesitation, without thinking of going upstairs to read the Gongfa classics.

In fact, as early as when he learned that Lu Songyin was going to meet him in the Library Pavilion, Lu Ping'an guessed that the former would give him the right to enter and leave the Library Pavilion.

But for Lu Ping'an, this right has no appeal.

The "Qi Body Source Stream" left to him by his father is a hundred times stronger than the Lu family's best qi training method "Dragon Bird Zhao Nerve" with just two lines, and it is no longer meaningful to practice the low-level exercises in the library pavilion.

"Na, Brother Ping'an, come here. ”

Suddenly, a crisp, sweet whisper came into my ears.

Lu Ping'an looked up and saw his cousin hiding among the flowers not far away, waving to him.

"Linglong, why did you get here? Beware of caterpillars. Lu Ping'an stepped forward and reminded with a chuckle.

"Oh, don't talk about it, come with me. ”

Lu Linglong looked very anxious, couldn't help but say, pulled Lu Ping'an's sleeve, and ran towards the depths of the back garden.

"Whew...... Call...... Brother Ping'an, something is wrong. ”

After the two came to a remote rockery, Lu Linglong gasped and said to Lu Ping'an with a trembling voice, "I went to find grandpa for your business last night, but I bumped into my uncle halfway......"

With Lu Linglong's narration, Lu Ping'an's expression became more and more solemn, and cold sweat also covered his forehead.

It turned out that when Lu Tianwang was arranging the assassination of his own people, the conversation between him and his cronies was overheard by Lu Linglong, who happened to be passing by.

"Alas, silly boy, you weren't discovered by him, were you?"

Lu Ping'an did not rush to ask about the specific details of Lu Tianwang's conversation with his subordinates, but immediately cared about Lu Linglong's safety.

"No, Uncle was near the head of the family's mansion at the time, where the handymen were usually not allowed to approach, and he didn't expect me to appear there. ”

Lu Linglong shook her head and replied, and the two small braids on the top of her head also swayed playfully.

But having said that, the little girl's shoulders were already trembling slightly when she said this.

Lu Tianwang actually killed his own nephew Lu Ping'an, which had a huge impact on her young heart.

"Brother Ping'an, besides, there is one more thing......" Lu Linglong bit her lip, as if she had to muster up a lot of courage to say the following words.

"Uncle asked that person to send a letter to Brother Qianqiu, saying that he would take care of everything in the family, so that Brother Qianqiu could study in Jixia South Courtyard with peace of mind. ”

Telling the secret that had been hidden in her heart for a night, Lu Linglong couldn't hold back her emotions any longer, and tears of bean size burst out of her eyes and slipped down her cheeks drop by drop.

She couldn't accept this fact, but the cold and cruel truth was in front of her.

"Brother Ping'an, you say, why do you say this is happening? Before, we were all good ...... before"

"Alright, Linglong, don't cry. Lu Ping'an stepped forward and gently stroked the top of Lu Linglong's head and comforted, "Don't worry, no matter what happens, my brother will always take care of you and love you." ”

At this time, although Lu Ping'an's tone was soft, the fingernails of his other hand were already deeply embedded in the flesh of his palm.

In fact, he had already guessed about Lu Qianqiu. But it was all just his own inference before, but now it has been confirmed, and he still feels uncomfortable in his heart for no reason.

Lu Linglong cried in Lu Ping'an's arms for a long time, and only then did the latter's emotions stabilize under the latter's best of persuasion.

"Linglong, you remember, this matter must not be mentioned to a third person except me, even if it is the head of the family, not the grandfather. ”

Lu Linglong raised her head in surprise, she didn't understand why she couldn't tell her grandfather about this at a young age, but her natural trust in Lu Ping'an made her nod after hesitating for a moment.

After sending Lu Linglong back to his residence, Lu Ping'an hesitated for a moment, but decided to turn back to the Library Pavilion, although the various exercises and secret techniques included in the Library Pavilion were of little use to him, but this was indeed a safe and good place for no one to disturb his cultivation.

Now, the two groups of killers sent by the Chen family and Lu Tianwang are likely to be waiting outside the Lu Mansion for an opportunity.

Before entering Daxu Mountain for the second time, it was necessary for him to practice the newly discovered secret technique in "The Source of the Qi Body" and make all preparations.

Lu Ping'an climbed to the seventh floor of the library pavilion alone, and sat cross-legged on the futon in the middle of the room.

As Lu Ping'an injected aura into the jade seal, the content of the "Qi Body Origin" slowly appeared on the floor in front of him.

"Heaven and Earth Xuanzong, Wan Qi Root. Cultivating for thousands of eons, proving my supernatural powers......"

Lu Ping'an silently recited the mantra in his heart, and at the same time the middle finger and ring finger of both hands intersected, and the other six fingers were straightened together, with the index finger and little finger pointing up and the thumb pointing down.

When a cultivator reaches the sixth level of the martial arts realm, he can accurately control the direction of the aura in his body, which is also the basis for practicing various non-condensing qi exercises.

As the aura flowed through several specific meridians in the order explained in the exercises, and passed through the Dharma seals formed by Lu Ping'an's hands, he saw that his whole body was suddenly shrouded in a cloud of golden light, and the originally dim library seemed to be exposed to the scorching sun.

The magic seal that Lu Ping'an formed is called the Golden Light Seal, and the secret technique he practiced is called the Golden Light Dafa Divine Mantra, which is extremely mysterious.

Although the part that Lu Ping'an understands now is only the first part of the Golden Light Dafa Divine Mantra, its subtleties are breathtaking, and even subvert Lu Ping'an's perception of traditional cultivation methods.

"Inside and outside the Three Realms, only the Tao is the only one. There is a golden light in my body, which reflects my body. ”

Lu Ping'an continued to recite the mantra lightly, and as soon as the words fell, he saw that the golden light shrouded around him began to ripple and undulate, like a light veil wrapped around his body.

In fact, this golden light was formed by the trace amount of spiritual energy in Lu Ping'an's body, which affected the spiritual energy between the surrounding heaven and earth.

In the cultivation system of the Tian Yuan Continent, the biggest difference between the Martial Dao Realm and the True Martial Realm was the amount of spiritual energy in the cultivator's body.

Under normal circumstances, when a cultivator stepped into the first level of the True Martial Realm, the spiritual energy reserves in his body would increase to three times that of the ninth peak of the Martial Dao Realm.

This shows how difficult it is to kill the enemy by jumping over the ranks.

But if Lu Ping'an had practiced the first part of the Golden Light Dafa Divine Mantra, then he would be able to use the actual cultivation of the Martial Dao Realm to cast an attack comparable to the scale of a True Martial Realm cultivator!

Even to a certain extent, the Golden Light Dafa Divine Mantra is specially used for cross-level combat.

"Blind to it, not to hear it...... Ahem, ahem!"

Lu Ping'an was preparing to urge the golden light to make the third change and complete the last step of "encompassing the world", so as to completely fix it on the surface of the body for his own use.

However, at this moment, a sharp pain suddenly spread from his two thumbs to his whole body.

If you are light, you will stay in bed for a few days, and if you are serious, you will lose your cultivation, and the consequences will be extremely serious. Lu Ping'an didn't dare to interrupt the seal, endured the severe pain, and slowly cut off the connection between the internal aura and the external aura, and finally there was no danger.

"It seems that only by reaching the seventh level of the martial arts realm can you practice this golden light Dafa divine mantra. Lu Ping'an concluded to himself.

When he had just taken the last step of "encompassing the heavens and cultivating the masses", the spiritual qi flowing through the Golden Light Seal had been cut off.

There was only one reason for the interruption of the flow, and that was that the spiritual energy stored in his qi sea was not enough, not enough to maintain the golden light.

If you want to solve this problem, there is only one way to improve the realm.

"Alas, I knew that I would have a few spirit stones for the family. Lu Ping'an thrashed his legs in annoyance.

Unlike the process of restoring cultivation, before this, Lu Ping'an had not reached the sevenfold martial arts realm, so this advance would be relatively difficult.

In addition, the main problem at the moment is that the amount of spiritual energy in his qi sea is not enough.

Lu Ping'an is now destitute, and because he shines in the bloodline test, he is regarded as the biggest competitor by the young people in the clan.

At this juncture, it is estimated that no one will lend him spirit stones.

Of course, Lu Ping'an believes that his cousin will definitely not be stingy with himself.

But it was the spirit stone that my cousin provided to me before, and now it seems that it is too difficult to speak to her again. After all, even if it is the granddaughter of the head of the family, the spirit stones on her body are limited.

Lu Ping'an found himself in a dilemma.
