After sending off the three Hui Niang, Lu Mingshu returned to the pond and continued to do laundry.

Liu Jizhen walked over and stood by silently watching.

Lu Mingshu raised his head: "Master?"

Liu Jizhen nodded: "You come here." ”

"Yes......"

Liu Jizhen sat down and looked at Lu Mingshu in front of him.

I remember that day she came, and she was still a very squeamish little girl. But today, she was wearing an old cloth apron, her hands were soaked red in cold water, and she had taken off the squeamish appearance of that day.

"Master?" Lu Mingshu was apprehensive by him.

Liu Jizhen retracted his gaze and said in a flat tone: "I already know your life experience." ”

Lu Mingshu suddenly lifted his heart. She knew that her life experience was very embarrassing in Jiuyao Palace, and she was also worried about this problem when she was apprenticing. Now that Liu Jizhen suddenly said that, didn't he want her?

was nervous, but I heard Liu Jizhen ask: "Do you know what kind of person I am?"

The topic changed too quickly, Lu Mingshu was a little confused, and replied: "I know, Master is the former senior brother of Jiuyao Palace, he practiced martial arts at the age of eight, entered the Inner Rest Realm at the age of ten, went to the Fusion Realm at the age of fifteen, and entered the Divine Realm at the age of twenty-four, and is known as the martial arts genius who is difficult to come out of the Jiuyao Palace for a hundred years. After thinking about it, he added, "In Xichuan, and even in the entire Gu Xia, there are no more than ten people who have entered the Divine Realm before the age of twenty-five, within a thousand years!"

She recited this passage many times in her heart.

Liu Jizhen smiled lightly: "What you said is true, but this is all in the past." ”

Lu Mingshu was stunned. What does the past mean?

Liu Jizhen lowered his eyes and looked at his hands, and his always cold voice sounded a little different: "I'm just a waste person now." ”

Lu Mingshu was stunned for a while, and then said in confusion: "Master?"

Liu Jizhen said lightly: "Eight years ago, I entered the realm of the gods for two years, traveled abroad, and challenged the masters. When he traveled to Beiming, he was defeated by others, and his meridians were completely broken in that battle. finally picked up a life, but became a waste. ”

He looked at Lu Mingshu: "What kind of place is Tongtian Pavilion, you must already know it in your heart." Although it occupies a quota for a ministry, in fact, it has long been abandoned by the sect. I was thrown here, just waiting to die. ”

Lu Mingshu looked at him in a daze, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

So, her father didn't tell the truth at all. He found a genius master for her, but this genius master has already abolished martial arts......

Lu Mingshu found that he was not surprised, but had a kind of composure in a trance. I probably think in my heart, for that father, this is what he will do, right?

"When you came, I didn't want to accept you, and with me, a waste, you were also half a waste. But the steward reminded me that I don't want you, and he has to find you another suitable place, which may not be better than here. ”

Lu Mingshu lowered his head and was silent.

"But I didn't expect that your background would be like this. I'm a wasted person, and I don't want to meddle in sectarian grievances. Liu Jizhen sarcastically picked the corners of his mouth, "So, I'll give you two choices." ”

He looked at the child and said in a calm tone, "One, it is like banishment to remain here. The good thing is that Bixi Valley has long been abandoned, and no one will come to trouble you. Second, I still have some connections in the past, and I can send you to the lower courtyard and practice martial arts with those lower courtyard disciples. But you must know that the disciples of the lower courtyard will work much harder than the disciples who have a teacher. ”

"You think about it slowly, don't rush to answer, think about it. Liu Jizhen stood up and entered the cave.

Lu Mingshu stood in the sun and didn't move for a long time.

In the evening of the same day, in the small courtyard of the bamboo fence in a corner of Qingyufeng, Master Yuwen closed his meditation on the bamboo collapse, listened to Shao Zhengyang's return, and said "um".

Shao Zhengyang was puzzled: "Master, the apprentice didn't figure it out. ”

Yuwenshi opened his eyes, got down from the bamboo couch, relaxed his muscles and bones, and Shao Zhengyang handed over the tea with a look in his eyes.

After taking a leisurely sip of tea, Master Yuwen said, "I don't understand why the teacher did this?"

"Yes. Shao Zhengyang frowned, "Master Liu's current situation, Master knows very well. Tell him about the girl's background, and he doesn't want to get involved......"

Yuwen Shi smiled: "This is the result that I want for the teacher." ”

Shao Zhengyang was stunned: "Master?"

Yuwen Shi said: "Do you think, what will be the consequences of leaving that girl in Bixi Valley?"

Shao Zhengyang thought for a while: "Uncle Liu is disheartened now, even if he has to accept his apprentice because of the door rules, he will definitely not teach him wholeheartedly." After a few years, even if she has talent, she will be delayed. ”

"Not bad. Master Yuwen tapped his finger on the table, "That's why Zhou Yinru has this proposal." With this arrangement, this idle chess piece will be idle forever. ”

Although this is an idle chess game at the moment, if there is no development prospect at all, it is not worth his fall. Zhou Yinru wants to abolish this step, how can she get her wish?

"However, Uncle Liu knows her life experience, and he won't teach her!"

"You don't know him. Master Yuwen sighed, "Senior Brother Liu, this person, looks indifferent, but he is actually extremely soft-hearted. When he learns the truth, even if he doesn't teach herself, he will arrange a future for her. ”

Shao Zhengyang thought for a long time and shook his head: "Master, please forgive the apprentice for being stupid, in this situation, where can that girl go? Her background is so embarrassing, I'm afraid no one will take over, right?"

Yuwen Shi smiled: "Yes, it is indeed difficult to send her to other people's doors, but it is easy to send her to the lower courtyard. ”

Shao Zhengyang was taken aback: "What's the use of that? Doesn't it make it easier for the Zhou family to get started?"

Yuwen Shi glanced at him: "I asked you to figure out the personnel relationship in the faction, you don't care, right? Zhang Kun, the head of the lower court of Jiulu Prefecture, is in the same line as Grandmaster Xiang, and in terms of seniority, he is the uncle of Senior Brother Liu. Senior Brother Liu opened his mouth, and Uncle Zhang didn't allow it. Heh, no matter how long the Zhou family's hands are, with Uncle Zhang watching, they can't reach out to the lower courtyard. ”

"So that's ......" Shao Zhengyang understood, but he was puzzled, "What's the use of going to the lower courtyard?

The lower courtyard of Jiuyao Palace, which is used to appease the elderly. There are some old people in the sect who have contributed a lot to the Jiuyao Palace, but they do not have descendants with outstanding qualifications, so they cannot enter the sect. They opened a lower courtyard in Jiulu Prefecture to teach those descendants. It's not that there are no products, but the proportion is very small.

"Do you expect her to become a supreme master?" Yuwen Shi smiled, "No matter how Fu Shangqing is, there is no doubt about his talent. As long as this kid fights for some qi and can occupy a place in the door, he may be able to use it in the future. ”

After thinking about it, he said: "I think this girl has good willpower and is a manufacturable material. ”

Shao Zhengyang pouted: "Why didn't I see it......"

Yuwenshi smiled: "You kid, what are you competing with a little girl of her?

Master and apprentice are like father and son, Shao Zhengyang is the first apprentice of Yuwen Master, from the beginning of practicing martial arts, he has been taught by him hand in hand, and he has deep feelings. In front of others, he loves to stand up, but in front of his own master, he is a little childish.

As he spoke, he thought about another thing: "Master, you say, is Uncle Liu really so wasted?"

"The meridians are all broken, what do you say?" Master Yuwen knocked on the table and sighed, "If it weren't for Senior Brother Liu's accident, how could he let Fu Shangqing's villain get his will? If he is good, this position of head has already reached the hands of the master." ”

Liu Jizhen was the senior brother back then, but he was dedicated to pursuing the highest level of martial arts and didn't want to be the head, and the elders of the previous generation took a fancy to the eight-sided exquisite Yuwen Master. Unexpectedly, Liu Jizhen went out to travel, and when he came back, he was wasted. Then, the head brought back Fu Shangqing. Yuwenshi and the Zhou family are not of the same heart, with Fu Shangqing as a son-in-law, how can they be willing to let Yuwenshi take over as the head?

If Liu Ji is really here, Fu Shangqing's strength is not as good as him, and the foundation in the door is not as good as Yuwenshi, of course, there is no chance of winning.

It's a pity, sometimes it's really fate, but Liu Jizhen is really abolished, and Yuwenshi, the steady and proper head of the house, has changed hands like this.
