When Lu Shaoyang entered Tongxuanju, it was already dark, and several children led him into the main hall to rest for a while, and after a while, the old man walked straight out from behind. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

He glanced at Lu Shaoyang, who was in tattered clothes, and asked in surprise, "Lu Gongzi, what's the matter with your bloodstain?" ”

"Ah, let the gentleman worry. I had some trouble along the way, but fortunately I was able to get out of it with the help of someone superior. Lu Shaoyang replied very politely.

"Trouble? But what kind of trouble would make Lu Gongzi so embarrassed? ”

Hearing that the layman asked Lu Shaoyang like this, he told him about the encounter with a tiger in the woods, and he also described in detail how Lin Mengyan and Huo Xueqing's brothers and sisters rescued him for a while, and his tone was full of respect.

After listening to his story, Mr. Yongan pondered for a while, "Is the surname the son of the Lin family?" Is he still a native of Chu with strong martial arts, isn't he Lin Tong's son? ”

"Lin Tong? Sir, know this person? Lu Shaoyang asked curiously.

"Well, I do." Mr. Yongan twisted his beard and said: "Back then, I was a great witch in the Chu State, and Lin Tong was the imperial guard next to the King of Chu. This person is upright, strong in martial arts, the best at swordsmanship, and is known as the first sword in Xiangshui. His family's secret biography "Tai 13 Swords" is even more unique, but I didn't expect that after 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, I would hear the news of him and his children after I lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests. ”

"So, that old Mr. Lin is your friend."

"Sort of." The old gentleman sighed, "Although he is a guard and I am a great witch, they are all the same rectum. I hate the darkness of officialdom, and he is not used to seeing the powerful in power. When I resigned and left Beijing, he saw me off, and after so many years, the scene at that time is still vivid! ”

The old gentleman couldn't help but feel a little sad when he said it, he waved his hand, "That's it, it's all old things, don't mention it." Or tell me about you, this morning your father flew a pigeon and told me that you would come today, and I don't know why? ”

"That's right, my father thought that we had been living here for more than a month but had never come to thank him, so today he specially ordered me to metabolize the gift to visit the old gentleman." Lu Shaoyang glanced at Qi Fu on the side as he spoke, and Qi Fu hurriedly put the prepared gifts on the table.

Mr. Yongan didn't even look at it, and said with a smile: "I am friends with your father, and he knows my heart best, and he will never use these things to defile my eyes for the so-called worldly favors, if he specially sent you to see me, he must have something else to ask for me, right?" ”

"So my father did ask me to send you a letter." Lu Shaoyang took out the letter from his bosom and respectfully handed it to Mr. Yongan.

The old gentleman opened the letter and read it, his brows suddenly tightened, he slowly put the letter down, and said, "Have you ever asked your father for anything?" ”

"This ......" Lu Shaoyang didn't understand the meaning of the old man's question, thought for a long time, and replied: "These **** didn't ask for anything from their father, but they ..... last night"

"How was last night?"

"Last night, my father drank and stroked the piano under the moon, and I talked with him for a while, and I did talk about the "Xuantian Demon Sutra".

"The Xuantian Demon Sutra? Is it the Yin and Yang secret technique that your Lu family regards as a treasure? The old gentleman slowly narrowed his eyes into a slit, and looked at Lu Shaoyang with a somewhat stiff expression.

Lu Shaoyang nodded, "Indeed, it was originally the secret method of my ancestors to practice according to the Five Elements Physiognomy Combined with Yin and Yang Qi, the ancestors had a family rule, and all men surnamed Lu in the family must practice this method if they are over the age of fifteen, and now I will soon be sixteen years old, but this secret method has never been studied at all, so I want my father to allow me to practice the secret technique on the "Xuantian Demon Sutra", so as to share his worries in the future." ”

"You're right. Among the nations, no matter how strong or weak, there are monks who practice the art of yin and yang, and if these people go back to the source, then they have to mention the priest of your Xia Kingdom. Your Lu family has been in charge of the priest for three generations, and the ancestral "Xuantian Demon Sutra" is even more famous in the world. If you can learn this technique, you have the ability to go to heaven and earth, and pass the demons, but if you want to study it, you must have extraordinary qualifications, you are weak since you were a child, and you are afraid that not only can you not learn this secret technique, but it will harm your own life, so about this "Xuantian Demon Sutra", I advise you to think twice and behave well. ”

"Sir, you have a good intention, and the younger generation understands it. It's just that now our Lu family is in trouble, and I see my father getting old day by day, if one day Xia Guo finds here, then how can I let my father protect me with his old body? So no matter what, I have to learn this "Xuantian Demon Sutra", if nothing else, just hoping to be able to keep our Lu family. ”

Lu Shaoyang said these words word by word, his eyes were full of determination, and the old gentleman looked at him and shook his head helplessly, "Okay, since you insist on learning from me, an outsider, it's not easy to persuade you anything, but your foundation is too weak, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate to study the "Xuantian Demon Sutra" when you come up, if someone can guide you in some Yin and Yang techniques, maybe you can get twice the result with half the effort." ”

"What does the old gentleman mean ....."

"I mean, you stay with me for a while, I'll teach you some basics, and then I'll send you back to study the secret method with your father when you've laid your foundation, don't you think?"

"Is the gentleman going to take me as an apprentice? If that's the case, it's great, please be worshiped by the juniors! Lu Shaoyang was about to kneel down as he spoke, but Mr. Yongan quickly helped him up and said, "You can't talk about accepting apprentices, you need to worship me." I am indifferent to fame and fortune in this life, and I don't want to be burdened by the name of master and apprentice, I just teach you in the face of your father, and you don't want to see me as your master. You have been frightened a lot to-day, so go back and rest, and I will send a letter to your father tomorrow explaining the reason, and he will certainly agree with me. ”

"The junior stepped back first." Lu Shaoyang came out of the door, his heart was overjoyed, it seems that this trip is not worthwhile, although he can not be commensurate with Mr. Yong'an's master and apprentice, but he can also get his true teaching, you must know that he is the former Chu State Witch, his yin and yang Taoism is unfathomable, if you can learn a day or two, you will be able to help your father.

Lu Shaoyang went back to the room by himself and didn't mention it for the time being, but said that the Yong'an monk couldn't help but feel a little melancholy when he saw him leave. He kept pacing back and forth in the room, and lamented in his heart: Brother Lu, I can only help you get here. This kid is destined to be miserable all his life, and he will never be able to learn the Yin and Yang Dao method, and now this expedient measure can only delay him for a while! Anyway, where in this world is there any way to achieve perfection, you can only save his life for the time being if you hand him over to me, and as for what will happen in the future, it can only be one step at a time. Alas, Shao Si blesses him, I hope that this child can turn evil into good fortune and spend the rest of his life in peace.

With a sigh, Yong'an burned the letter that Lu Wufeng had sent him, knowing that this secret could not be known to a third person.

At the same time, there was another person in the mountain villa dozens of miles away who was hesitating incessantly, and he was Lu Wufeng.

Just as the moon and stars were sparse in the sky, the candles in the villa were blazing. Lu Wufeng walked into the inner hall of the main hall alone, stretched out his finger and gestured in the air for a while, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, with the form of gasification, the door to the secluded, only I can open it!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a small door suddenly appeared on the wall, and Lu Wufeng pushed the door and entered a secret room.

The walls here are made of one-piece bricks and stones, and all sides are covered with rootless fires, and the green flames float in the air to give people an indescribable strange feeling.

He walked straight to the end of the chamber, where a long table was placed, and in the center of it was an incense burner and a tablet made of sandalwood. The tablet reads: The position of the beloved wife Liang Tingshu.

Lu Wufeng took out three incense candles from his sleeve, and with a backhand offering, a flame was born from his fingertips, and the flame rushed to the incense candle and quickly ignited.

He carefully inserted the three pillars of incense onto the censer and watched quietly as it slowly burned. The green smoke slowly rose up, and there was no other movement. Time seemed to stand still, and only the person standing in front of him looked sadly at the tablet, but his heart was churning.

Who can escape the law of fate in troubled times? Even if you have magical powers, you can't save the life of your beloved, and not only that, but her death is inextricably linked to yourself.

Lu Wufeng couldn't help but recall that on that stormy night, his wife opened her arms around his thighs and begged him not to let his son become a victim of fate. He struggled and suffered in his heart, but in an instant he became hard-hearted. For he thought of the dry bones of the deserted countryside, the countless families who had lost their loved ones in the war, the women and mothers who had washed their faces with tears, the displaced children, the heads that had been used to ask for meritorious deeds but whose faces were full of grief, the deserted villages and the smoking palaces that had collapsed with the sound of swords cutting flesh, all of which he could not care more about. So he broke free from his wife and walked out of the house with his son in his arms, and from that moment on he could not look back.

The scene in front of him became blurry again, and Lu Wufeng thought back to the two people who hugged each other on the young boat, the vow that would never be abandoned, the long-cherished wish that would last forever, the two hands that were tightly clasped together, the two hearts that melted together, and the beautiful past seemed to have just happened yesterday.

Holding a bowl of water against your delicate cheeks, with a gust of wind blowing away your waist-length long hair, my love, are you okay in that world? I think about you day and night, and my heart becomes more and more numb.

"Tingshu, I've come to see you. I know you may still hate me, hate me for letting your son bear such a fate, but what can be done? When you look at the world from my point of view, you will find that everything I do is not wrong, the only thing that is wrong is that we should not be born in this era, and we should not meet, love, and tie the knot, but even if these are wrong,

I have never regretted it, I only hope you can understand me, but also hope that you will bless our son in another world, I know that my limit is coming, I hope our sacrifice can be exchanged for his life of stability, the world is peaceful! ”

Speaking of this, Lu Wufeng was already full of old tears and couldn't cry. At this time, the incense candle had long been burned out, leaving a black ash behind.
