Eight hundred miles of Qinling Mountains are stacked with heavy rocks, magnificent, and are known as the dragon veins of the Central Plains civilization.

In the middle of the Qinling Mountains, there is a mountain name called the lungs of the earth, it is the blessed land of Taoist cultivation of immortals, there is a stream, two ponds, five Taiwans, nine dangerous peaks, it is world-famous, it is said that Lao Tzu was convenient for cultivating the true alchemy here, so it has the reputation of "the crown of the cave sky". For thousands of years, countless immortal seekers have retreated here, or sat in the spring and forgotten, or married and enlightened, leaving countless legends.

It's just that in recent years, with the emergence of immortal figures in Xishu and Yangshan, they have gradually become stronger. Coupled with the fact that the Dazhong Dynasty respected Confucianism and suppressed the Tao and the Buddha, the first blessed land in the world was slightly silent.

Before leaving, Wang Xuance told Lu Rong to enter Qinchuan to find the person first, so he lived in seclusion.

Looking at the mountain peaks like bamboo shoots, Lu Rong was full of expectations, and he didn't know what kind of immortal figure this person was.

Who knew that with Wu's back around but did not go up the mountain, turned a foot of the mountain, there is a small village, looking from a distance, the cooking smoke is misty, more than 20 households, the houses are built in a patchwork, very neat.

The two led the horse into the village, only to see that the door of the household was closed, this status belongs to Qinzhou, the winter is very cold, the people have nothing to do, and naturally the cat is heating at home for the winter.

Lu Rong was helpless and asked Wu Beidao: "Old Wu, what about people?" ”

Since Lu Rong and Wu had a long talk on the side of the Lingshou River, they have been eating and living together in the past few days, and the two have gradually become acquainted, and their names have become more casual.

This Wu Beiben was born in Youzhou Hanshi, and he studied hard and read well since he was a child, but because he didn't like the way of Confucianism on weekdays, he only loved the art of war and strategy, and he was a little deviant in the background of Confucianism in the Dazhong Dynasty. Therefore, although Wang Xuance has never recognized him as his personal disciple, he is also a teacher and a friend, and Wu Bing has long regarded Wang Xuance as his mentor and respects him abnormally.

Wu Bei doesn't travel far often, and the wind and dust on his body are worse than Lu Rong's for a few days, as if he is a few years older, and he is also embarrassed when he hears the words, and he replied: "Mr. only said that this is enough, it is an old man surnamed Chen, let's ask around." ”

After saying that, he walked to a nearby house, knocked on the door, and after a while, the door opened, and a middle-aged man came out. ”

The man looked the two of them up and down, frowned slightly, and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Wu Bei smiled and said: "It's an old man surnamed Chen, do you know where the eldest brother lives?" ”

The man was even more puzzled and replied, "Chen? Are you looking for Old Man Chen? Who are you? ”

Lu Rong was already impatient when he heard it on the side, and interjected: "We are his relatives." ”

The man wanted to speak again and again, and finally said, "The first one in the east of the village is, go." "Shut the door shut.

Wu Bei and Lu Rong were both stunned, and said in their hearts that it seemed that this old man Chen was not very popular in the village.

Lead the horse to a wooden house at the head of the village, only to see that this house is not big, slightly dilapidated, and far away from other houses, but the courtyard is not small, and there is still a donkey tied in the yard, but there is no plow and rake and other farming tools.

Lu Rong and Wu glanced at each other, and just wanted to push the door into the courtyard, but out of nowhere ran out of a dog, this dog is different from the earth dog seen on weekdays, with a short mouth and sharp teeth, thick and powerful limbs, covered in snow-white gradient gray, and almost like a wolf. Qin land since ancient times martial arts, Qin nobles hunt with more than two kinds of hunting dogs, one of which has a slender waist and legs, extremely fast, called the dog dog, also known as the thin dog. The other is this short-billed racer, this lynx is fierce and combative, full of bite, three together dare to round up wild boars, very powerful, but with the passage of time, the cultivation method is slowly lost, I didn't expect to see one here, very rare.

The mole was very hostile, leaned down and yelled at the two, so that Lu Rongwu and Wu could neither advance nor retreat, so they could only stand on the spot and ask loudly, "Is there anyone?" ”

The door opened, and an old man came out, dressed in a wool shoulder, with white beard and hair, full of wind and frost, and an old felt hat. ”

Such a handsome dog actually had a vulgar name, Lu Rong was amused in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it.

The dog named Tiger was very obedient, and when he heard his master's voice, his hostility decreased slightly, and he stepped aside, still very vigilant, staring at the two with a pair of green eyes.

Wu Bei just wanted to speak, but the old man spoke first: "Come in." Then he turned and went into the house.

Lu Rong and Wu glanced at each other and followed in.

The room is not big, but it is very messy, there is a charcoal fire burning in the stove, it is very warm, Lu Rong looked around, and saw that the room was full of fur and animal bones, there was a spear standing in the corner, and there was a horn bow hanging on the wall, and he knew in his heart that this old man was an old hunter.

The old man didn't greet the two, but sat straight on the kang, sitting cross-legged together, and couldn't stop looking at them.

Wu Bei Shili said: "The old man's surname is Chen? ”

The old man didn't answer, but asked, "From Youzhou?" ”

Wu Bei hurriedly replied, "Yes." As he spoke, he took out the jade pendant in his arms.

The old man snorted: "Fortunately, you two didn't break in, otherwise you would have been torn apart by the tiger, but it would have been troublesome." ”

Lu Rong was secretly a little unhappy, and said coldly: "It's just a beast." ”

Lu Rong has been lawless with Pears since he was a child, and he has been chased and bitten by the children of several large families in Anxin County more than once, and they are all strong and vicious dogs who care for the home, and now that he has grown up, how can he be afraid of this beast.

The old man sneered, pointed to the half-tattered black bear skin hanging on the wall, and said, "Can your body bones be as strong as this black bear?" ”

Lu Rong was still unconvinced, Wu Bei hurriedly said: "Don't blame the old man, this is a token of my husband, and I ask the old man to see if he knows him." As he spoke, he handed over the jade pendant.

The old man glanced at Wu Bei with slanted eyes, took it in his hand and looked at it, threw it back to Wu Bei, and said, "Who are you Lu Yuan?" ”

Wu Bei took the jade pendant into his arms, pulled Lu Rong and said, "This is the son of Lu Yuan, the king of Yan. ”

Lu Rong heard that Wu Bei said that he was Lu Yuan's son, and he was a little angry, and just wanted to speak, but Wu Bei gave him a look, and said first: "This time I came to Qinzhou, King Yan asked us to come to the old man first." ”

Seeing that Lu Rong was still angry, the old man snorted and said, "It's like Lu Yuan's stinky temper when he was young." Boy, what's your name? ”

Lu Rong saw that the old man was one Lu Yuan, and he didn't take King Yan Yi who was above 10,000 people in his eyes at all, and naturally knew in his heart that the old man was definitely not good at his generation, so he couldn't help but salute: "My name is Lu Rong." ”

The old man frowned slightly, and said to himself, "Lu Rong? Then he asked, "What are you two looking for me?" ”

Wu Bei said respectfully: "Can the old man recognize Zhao Jingde?" ”

The old man nodded and said, "Zhao Jingde, I met him a few times a long time ago, this person has good roots, good understanding, and a sword in his hand is okay, but he has a thought in his heart, and he can't do the sword heart like water." ”

Lu Rongxin only wanted to see Uncle De earlier, and he didn't pay attention to it, but Wu Bei knew the depth when he heard this, and thought that there would be many first-class masters guarding the courtyard of the Heavenly Son in the palace, and Zhao Jingde could be the person holding the sword beside Lu Guifei, how powerful would it be, and he was said by this old man, "It's okay."

Lu Rong hurriedly asked, "Do you know where the old man is now?" ”

The old man wondered, "What are you looking for him?" ”

Lu Rong was in a hurry and said, "He is my uncle!" ”

The old man laughed and said, "Your Lu family is really messy. ”

Where does Lu Rong care about that, he took half a step forward, bowed deeply, and asked hurriedly, "Can the old man take me to Uncle De?" ”

The old man said with a little regret: "It's too late, he's dead." ”
