After returning to the Lu family, Dongfang Shuo's mind still involuntarily remembered the woman he saw in front of the Drunken Immortal Residence.

It was something he had never seen before, an unprecedented beauty.

Originally, when he saw her with his own eyes, Dongfang Shuo was only temporarily suffocated because of her appearance, but when he couldn't see the woman at this moment, the appearance and figure involuntarily ran into Dongfang Shuo's mind and lingered.

In desperation, Dongfang Shuo sighed.

"This should be the legendary haunting dream, right?" Dongfang Shuo muttered to himself.

Beside him, Lu Zhiqian vaguely heard the murmur in his mouth, so he immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "What kind of haunting dream? Are you still thinking about the girl from the Drunken Immortal Residence? ”

Dongfang Shuo looked sideways at Lu Zhiqian.

After a pause, Dongfang Shuo said, "That Oiran, is there any special origin?"

"What are you doing? You want to tease that Oiran?"

After Lu Zhiqian asked rhetorically, a wicked smile immediately appeared on his face.

Looking at his expression, Dongfang Shuo sighed helplessly, and then said, "If you don't know, forget it." As soon as the words fell, he was already walking towards the door of the mansion, and in a blink of an eye, he had already opened a large distance for Lu Zhiqian.

The reason why he asked this was not just a whim.

Although the Oiran did haunt Dongfang Shuo's dreams, this was only one aspect.

At the same time, Dongfang Shuo also had another feeling in his heart, that is, the appearance of that Oiran made him inexplicably feel a sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, and he couldn't even say why he felt this way.

Oiran was so beautiful that he didn't have time to think about so many things in the short time he saw it with his own eyes.

Looking back on it now, it doesn't help.

"I used to be preoccupied with gambling stones, and I didn't have the heart to care about anyone's Oiran at all, but of course, no money is also one thing. At this time, Lu Zhiqian hurriedly followed, and at the same time kept saying, "But Oiran is Oiran, and that type is unattainable after all." If you want to fall in love sweetly, I know some of the ladies who can introduce you to each other, and it's not in vain that you helped me today, how about it?"

Dongfang Shuo, who was thinking about the Oiran, stopped after he finished speaking, turned his head and asked, "What is it?"

Lu Zhiqian was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Of course, it's to help you pull the red line, how about it? If you need it, I can serve you at any time." ”

"Until this afternoon, you are still a crazy gambler, what kind of ladies can you know?

As soon as he heard this, Lu Zhiqian hurriedly chased after him again.

"What is this called, anyway, I am also the young master of the Lu family who is in the wind in Yushu, suave, and talented, what's wrong with knowing a few ladies?" This guy always seems to like to fight over inconsequential matters.

Dongfang Shuo glanced at him with mixed tastes, then reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"I appreciate your kindness, but you still have to take care of yourself, if you really know everyone's ladies, you keep it yourself, and it is a good way to be a little white face in the future. While speaking, Dongfang Shuo waved his hand to Lu Zhiqian, who had stopped, and the distance between the two gradually narrowed.

Looking at Dongfang Shuo's back, Lu Zhiqian sighed heavily.

Although I don't really want to admit it, what Dongfang Shuo said is not unreasonable.

Now he has understood that there is no way out for gambling stones, and his own way out in the future will definitely be a problem, after all, he is recognized as having no talent in the Thousand Machines Technique, otherwise he would not have embarked on the road of gambling stones.

"Little white face......

Lu Zhiqian muttered in his mouth as he raised his head and looked at the sky.

Maybe even Dongfang Shuo didn't expect that he just said a joke casually, but it would change Lu Zhiqian's life.

As for Dongfang Shuo himself, after separating from Lu Zhiqian, he walked through the corridor of the Lu Mansion according to his memory, and returned to the house of the ancestor of the Lu family.

Pushing open the door of the house, the empty interior seemed extraordinarily silent.

When the door of the house closed on its own, the sound of the inside and outside was completely isolated, and even the birds and insects that originally haunted the ears no longer existed.

Dongfang Shuo bypassed the floor mechanism pointed out by the ancestor of the Lu family, and sat cross-legged on the round platform again.

"Counting the time, two full days have passed, and six days should have passed inside the Mountains and Rivers Map. According to what the old gentleman said, in the past three days, this matter should be completed. ”

Dongfang Shuo, who was sitting cross-legged, counted the time, and at the same time whispered loudly, "And I made an appointment with Gongzi Zhang for three days to give him an answer, and the next three days are just right, and it should be considered quite generous." ”

As he muttered to himself, his body had already begun to adjust his breath.

When the last word of the whisper came out, his eyes were closed, and the air flow inside and outside his body rotated, constantly exhaling the aura of heaven and earth around him. At the same time, the appearance of a villain appeared in his mind, and the rules and regulations of Xuzhou's martial arts quickly came to mind, and they were operated by the hands of the villain in his mind, and the deduction of martial arts was carried out.

With such a two-pronged approach, Dongfang Shuo's consciousness even has more than enough.

So the rest of his energy was used to think about countermeasures to deal with Gongzi Zhang. Although the thinking used to think about countermeasures was just scraps, after all, it was a full three days, enough for him to come up with a result.

For the next three days, everything was as usual, even strangely calm.

It's the real sense that nothing happens.

And the three days that Dongfang Shuo expected, in fact, it only took him more than a day, and in less than two days, he thought of a reply to Gongzi Zhang.

It's really simple to say, it's nothing more than wanting to use the hand of Gongzi Zhang to balance the six princes and the crown prince.

Gongzi Zhang's ability Dongfang Shuo has already seen it with his own eyes, and there is no longer anything to question and have concerns, if this person really has the heart to satisfy Dongfang Shuo, it is obviously not difficult to unilaterally balance the six princes and the crown prince.

The difficult thing is that Dongfang Shuo's rhetoric is the same as the method adopted by Gongzi Zhang.

Frontal checks and balances, no difficulty, but easy exposure.

Even if Gongzi Zhang informed Dongfang Shuo of his existence, he was reluctant to show his face, obviously unwilling to reveal his identity, and the authority of the two royal families would inevitably produce the risk of exposing himself. Moreover, Dongfang Shuo doesn't need Gongzi Zhang to do that kind of thing at all.

What Dongfang Shuo wanted was the spiritual realm, and from the beginning, there was only this one purpose.

With the help of others, whether it is the crown prince or the sixth prince, it is only temporary.

But neither of these people is a fuel-efficient lamp, it's like a quagmire, and the more you touch, the deeper you sink in.

And in order to prevent himself from falling and being constrained everywhere, Dongfang Shuo needs one person to restrain the two of them, so that Dongfang Shuo can get out at any time when he wants to get out.

Childe Akira is the best choice.

Since it is a tool sent to the door, it is natural to make it more handy.

In less than two days, he thought about the answer, and for the next day or so, Dongfang Shuo was thinking about his rhetoric.

This thought, before I knew it, had reached noon on the fifth day of coming to the Lu family.

Until the morning of this day, it was business as usual, and there were no visions.

But as time passed, Dongfang Shuo, who was immersed in cultivation, deduction and thinking, was awakened by a few calls that came to his mind.

The first few sounds were vague and faint, but as Dongfang Shuo's attention shifted, the voice in his head became clearer and clearer, and finally Dongfang Shuo heard a sentence: "...... Master, something is wrong!"

This is the voice of Turing in the mountains and rivers.

He quickly suppressed his breath, looked down at his chest, and took out the mountain and river map.

"What's the matter?"

"The ancestor of the Lu family, he ......" Turing's words stopped suddenly.

Dongfang Shuo frowned, and he couldn't help but worry in his heart. As soon as the thoughts were combined, the spiritual power quickly poured into the palm of the palm and merged into the mountains and rivers map. A flash of essence flickered in the mountain and river map, and in the next moment, Dongfang Shuo was enveloped and sent into the mountain and river map.

When the scroll fell on the round platform, Dongfang Shuo's feet also fell to the ground in the picture of mountains and rivers.

As soon as he stood still, two figures immediately appeared in front of him.

One sat cross-legged on the ground, and the other stood on the side.

Sitting cross-legged was the ancestor of the Lu family with crane hair and white beard, and standing on the side was a masked whale.

And beside the ancestor of the Lu family, the bud of the primordial tree grew vigorously, and now it is more than three feet high.

"The host ......"

Seeing Dongfang Shuo's arrival, Ah Whale suddenly spoke.

Dongfang Shuo hurriedly took a step and quickly rushed to the side of the two.

Looking at the ancestor of the Lu family, who was stiff and bloodless, Dongfang Shuo, who was already frowning, looked a little heavier at this moment.

He was out of breath, dead.

"Him?"

Dongfang Shuo looked at Ah Whale.

Ah Whale said: "In every tomb before, he only stayed for five hours at most, but this time he stayed in that tomb for nearly ten hours. When we broke into the tomb to look for him, we found that he was already like this. ”

Hearing these words, Dongfang Shuo looked at the ancestor of the Lu family again.

"How so?" he wondered.

He didn't have any scars on his body, and it was clear that he hadn't accidentally triggered the mechanism. And on his face, there is no pain, and naturally it will not be poisoned or the recurrence of old injuries or anything.

After excluding external factors, there is only one possibility left.

Natural death.

Five days ago, or fifteen days ago, he was obviously fine, and even ran around like a Ding Zhuang, how could he suddenly become like this?

All of this is too sudden, isn't it?

But as soon as he thought of this, he remembered the scene that happened five days ago, and a picture suddenly flashed in Dongfang Shuo's mind.

That was the expression on the face of Lu Guanyue, the head of the Lu family, when he read the letter, and there was obvious surprise and loneliness in that expression. And after that, the head of the Lu family suddenly said goodbye and left, as if he was following someone's instructions, and as if he was avoiding something.

That's not an apology letter at all!

"What's in that letter?"

After thinking about everything in his mind, Dongfang Shuo finally had only such a doubt left in his heart.

And at this moment, Turing's voice came to mind again: "Master, someone is approaching outside the house." ”
