Shen Yun and Dong Cheng came to the ferry, boarded the boat that had been waiting there, and arrived at the island in the middle of the lake in a short time.

The architectural pattern of Henghu Manor is similar to the Suzhou garden in the Chinese world, and being in it is like walking into a paradise.

Under the guidance of the housekeeper of the manor, the two came to a pond full of weeping willows.

On the east side of the pond, there is a simple and elegant water pavilion, and Lu Heng, who was sitting in the middle of reading a book, heard the footsteps, looked up and saw that it was them, so he smiled and beckoned.

The two walked into the water pavilion and bowed to Lu Heng and said, "I've seen the city lord!"

Lu Heng waved his hand and said: "There are no outsiders here, no need to be polite, just sit down!"

After Shen Yun and Dong Cheng sat down, Lu Heng ordered someone to serve refreshments, and then asked with a smile: "It's rare to have two days off a month, and you have to take time out to see me, an old man, your belly must be full of complaints, right?!"

Dong Cheng looked at Shen Yun and saw that he was just smiling, but he didn't mean to speak, so he hurriedly responded: "There is such a story in the market, about a son-in-law who went to ask a woman for marriage, and the dowry was ten thousand taels of gold, but he didn't want to but was rejected by the other party.

Brother Gongzi asked the woman puzzled, I really love you, if it is too little, you can still discuss.

The woman said that I was not too little, but that I wanted another dowry. The man asked the woman what she wanted, and the woman said, "What I want is a grass in Henghu Manor!"

After listening to Dong Cheng's story, Lu Heng laughed and said: "Hahaha, no wonder even a martial idiot like Tao'er is willing to make friends with you, you are really a witty and interesting person!"

Shen Yun heard the other party talk about Lu Tao, and vaguely guessed in his heart the purpose of Lu Heng asking Dong Cheng to accompany him, and immediately smiled at Lu Heng: "My mother often tells me that although your cousin has good talent, he is an optimistic faction with no ambitions, and I am really worried that if he takes over the position of the head of the family in the future, will he still be able to keep the hard-won title of the Dong family!"

Dong Cheng was originally a clever ghost, and when he heard Shen Yun say this, he immediately showed a naïve and cute face and said: "Hehe, my aunt still understands me, being a man, happiness is the most important thing, as for status and power, it is all floating clouds for me." ”

Lu Heng put the scroll in his hand on the table, got up and walked to the floating platform out of the water, looked at the half pond of blue lotus in the pond, and sighed faintly: "Hey, if I could have such a tranquil mind as you back then, and didn't fight for any family masters and city lords, I am afraid that I would have broken through the shackles of the warrior realm long ago!"

Shen Yun's heart moved, got up and walked to Lu Heng's side, standing with his hands in his hands, looking at the lotus pond with a thoughtful expression on his face.

After a while, several white clouds with different postures slowly floated over Henghu Lake, and the sky and cloud shadows fell into the lotus pond floating in the blue waves at the same time.

Shen Yun waited for this opportunity, and then recited aloud:

"Half an acre of square pond is opened, and the sky and clouds and shadows wander together. ”

"Ask the canal to be as clear as it is, for there is a source of living water. ”

Although Dong Cheng has a good talent in martial arts, his literary industry is extremely ordinary, and he doesn't feel anything when he hears it, but for Lu Heng, who is both civil and military, the feeling is completely different.

Every word Shen Yun recited was like a thunderbolt and lightning, constantly falling on the depths of his Dao heart, making him tremble involuntarily.

Shen Yun turned his head to look at Lu Heng, and said with a smile: "I'd rather have a grass in Henghu than love Hongchen and ten thousand taels of gold!" A woman in the market still has such ambitions, but why is the city lord worried about whether he can break through the initial realm of this martial art, you should aim high and aspire to become holy and crazy!"

Lu Heng glanced at Shen Yun in a daze, then cast his gaze to the strange scene in front of him, and muttered, "Sanctification...... It's a crazy ......!"

I don't know how long it took, Lu Heng's eyes became as clear as water, and he suddenly jumped high and flew down on a leaf of duckweed in the pond.

"Dengping crosses the water!" Dong Cheng exclaimed, got up and walked to Shen Yun's side, "Could it be that the city lord suddenly had an epiphany and successfully stepped into the martial arts realm?!"

Shen Yun said in a low voice: "It's just Dengping, it's hard to say whether you can cross the water......

Lu Heng stood on the duckweed and hesitated for a while, one foot stepped on the adjacent duckweed, and the other foot had just taken off, and suddenly his body shook, and the supporting foot had already submerged in the water.

He hurriedly jumped to the west bank of the pond, laughed loudly and said, "The old man has finally realized, realized!"

Lu Heng respectfully bowed to Shen Yunyao in the water pavilion, "Thank you Gongzi for your guidance!"

Shen Yun also saluted: "This is the opportunity of the city lord, the younger generation is just at the right time!"

"You two sit down for a while, I'll go and change my shoes and socks and come back!" Lu Heng said, and turned around and left like a child.

Dong Cheng looked at Shen Yun with adoring gaze and said respectfully: "Cousin, oh no, childe...... Lord, can you point out the foolish brother?"

After saying that, he was about to bend his knees and bow down, but was stopped by Shen Yun raising his arm, and scolded with a smile: "Do you want me to break my life or what, if I really have this ability, the first person to benefit is not you." ”

Shen Yun pulled Dong Cheng back to his seat and said, "Don't you want to know Lu Heng's intention for letting you come, I've probably guessed a few points now!"

Dong Cheng hurriedly said: "Tell me quickly!"

Shen Yun said: "In Lin'an City, ordinary scholars want to become the strongest warrior clan, the strongest warrior clan wants to become the wang clan, and the wang clan wants to become the city lord, and what is the goal of the city lord!"

Dong Chengdao: "Naturally, I want my descendants to still hold the position of the city lord!"

Shen Yun said: "Yes, judging from Lu Heng's expression when he mentioned Lu Tao, he seems to attach great importance to this youngest son. ”

Dong Chengdao: "This is inevitable, the chiefs of the four groups of the first house, A, B, C, D, are all descendants of the four major families, and the chief of group E is the son of the Li family, the strongest warrior clan who lost to us last time, and the next time Lin'an will be martial, the five of us will naturally be the main combat force of the family!"

Shen Yun said: "If Lu Heng wants to keep the position of the city lord of the Lu family, he must let Lu Tao's cultivation always stabilize you, so as to ensure that the Lu family wins again in the next martial arts meeting and retains the position of city lord!"

After a pause, Shen Yun continued: "You are good friends with Lu Tao, I think it's just out of appreciation, and Lu Tao shouldn't have too many ideas, but what about Lu Heng, what will he think?"

Dong Cheng pondered for a while, patted his head and said: "I understand, Lu Heng has always been worried that the purpose of my friendship with Lu Tao is not simple, I am afraid that I will hinder or destroy Lu Tao's cultivation for the development of the family, and I have already had a prejudice against me in my heart.

Shen Yun smiled and said: "If I wasn't there, he would definitely mean this, but because of my existence, although this meaning is not a compliment, it is already a joke from the elders to the juniors!"

Dong Cheng nodded and said: "He asked you to come, naturally he wanted to be friendly with you, so I am afraid that he deliberately forced you to express his position!"

Shen Yun said: "It should be, that's why I hinted at him through my mother's mouth, to ensure that you become the head of the Dong family, no one can stop it, but the Dong family just wants to maintain the current situation, and there is absolutely no intention of competing with the Lu family, I hint at him like this, you won't blame me!"

Dong Cheng's eyes turned red, and he choked up: "Cousin, with your words, I am dead now, and I have no regrets in this life!"

Shen Yun Zhengse said: "What is this, before I become Emperor Wu, you kid must give me a good life!"

When Dong Cheng heard this, he immediately burst into tears and laughed.

Shen Yun glanced at him and said in a low voice: "When Lu Heng comes back in a while, he will definitely ask me why my cultivation has entered the realm so quickly, and when I tell you, you have to ......"

After a cup of tea, Lu Heng came and went back with the spring equinox on his face, and he was still holding two delicate sachets in his hands.

After Lu Heng sat down, he handed one of them to Dong Cheng and said with a smile: "Since you are Tao'er's best friend, you are equivalent to the old man's nephew, although I often hear him talk about you, but I have never met, this thing can be regarded as a meeting gift for you!"

Dong Cheng hurriedly got up and saluted: "Thank you Shibo!"

Lu Heng waved his hand, motioned for him to sit down, handed the other one to Shen Yun, and explained: "These two [Gardenia Ai Sachets] were prepared earlier, and they have the effect of refreshing the mind, repelling mosquitoes and insects, as for the grace of the son's guidance, the old man will not be able to repay it at this time, and he will ...... it in the future!"

Shen Yun didn't wait for Lu Heng to finish speaking, he stood up, put the gardenia sachet in his arms on the table, and said seriously: "If the city lord is so polite again, then the junior can only leave!"

"Sit down, sit down, it's okay if the old man is not polite to you!" Lu Heng pulled Shen Yun's sleeve with a smile, and sighed: "On that day, Master Xun said that you are a natural talent of both civil and military affairs, and he will soar to the sky one day, I have always been skeptical, and now it seems that the old man is really like a torch!"

After Shen Yun sat down again, he smiled humbly: "Old Xun and the city lord are really such a good boy, Yun is naturally dull, if it weren't for the opportunity three years ago, I am afraid that I will not be able to enter the gate of Beiyuan for the rest of my life!"

Dong Cheng asked in surprise: "Three years ago, you asked the academy for a three-month long vacation, saying that you wanted to retreat and cultivate at home, could it be that at that time you suddenly became enlightened?!"

Shen Yun smiled and said: "Enlightenment is so simple, to tell you the truth, just because you passed the promotion certification that year, and I, as your cousin, don't know when I will become a middle-level warrior, do you think my heart can feel better!"

I took a leave of absence in the name of retreat, and after convincing my mother, I left the city of Lin'an to travel and relax.

On that day, I missed the night because I was greedy for the scenery, and when I saw the faint lights in the woods not far away, I walked over.

There was a bonfire in the middle of the woods, on which a squeaky leg of lamb was roasted.

A young man dressed in white picked up the wine gourd beside him and took a few sips on his head, pulled out a long sword with a cold light from his back, cut off a large piece of mutton from the fire, and feasted on it with relish. ”

Lu Heng's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "Sword cultivation?!"

In the cultivation world of the Shengyi Continent, there is an unwritten rule that only sword cultivators can use swords.

If you want to become a sword cultivator, you must have the Holy Body talent, and you must also have the body of a Sword Saint who is one out of hundreds of thousands.

The sword cultivation at the martial arts level is called the sword master, and it is also divided into nine realms, and the level division of the small realm is the same as that of martial arts.

Sword cultivation is known as invincible in the same realm, and no matter where it is, it is an awe-inspiring existence.

Shen Yun said: "I once heard people talk about sword cultivation, saying that although they are all peerless geniuses, they are also crazy people who only know how to kill, thinking of this, although I am already hungry, but I am afraid, I was about to turn around and leave, but I was stopped by the other party!"
