Chapter Seventy-Nine: Tracing the Tea Party
After speaking, he turned around indifferently and walked back, stared at his horse, and said, "You have ten breaths to lead your horse away and disappear from my sight, otherwise, I don't mind sending you to the Lonely Boat Prison......"
"Jiang Xuling!" The young man behind him got up from the mud, although he was covered with mud from head to toe, his eyes were extraordinarily bright and bright, and he said excitedly: "I understand, you are Jiang Xuling!" ”
The people of Lonely Boat City, under the age of eighteen, are amazing and dazzling, causing a sensation in the whole principality!
Except for Jiang Xuling, he couldn't think of anyone else!
Lu Qingchen frowned slightly, he seemed to have misunderstood something.
Just as he was about to explain, he laughed and said, "It turns out that I was defeated in the hands of Jiang Xuling, in the hands of that legendary-level Tianjiao!" ”
Staring at Lu Qingchen, he said: "You are much more powerful than the rumors, Zhuo is convinced!" ”
The other party was so determined, Lu Qingchen didn't bother to explain: "You still have five breaths to leave." ”
The young man hurriedly walked back, ignoring the stench on his body, knelt down on one knee to Lu Qingchen, and said, "I, Zhuo Tianyi, am willing to be your gatekeeper for a year." ”
Lu Qingchen said lightly: "No need." ”
Zhuo Tianyi stood up without saying a word, walked to the door of the courtyard, and stood there like a javelin.
The expression was very serious, but his body was covered with mud, and those who didn't know thought that a clay figure was erected in front of the Lu Mansion, which looked abrupt and funny.
Lu Qingchen frowned and said, "I didn't ask you to be a janitor. ”
Zhuo Tianyi looked into the distance, stood straight, and said with a tense expression: "I am practicing my principles!" ”
"Whoever challenges me, I will set a rule, and if you lose in my hands within ten moves, you will listen to my orders." Zhuo Tianyi: "Whoever loses, they will be asked to act as grooms, coachmen or gatekeepers, the purpose is to let them endure humiliation and bear the burden to sharpen themselves and motivate themselves!" ”
"I lost today, and I still lost in two moves, as my requirements for others, I should also be strict with myself." Zhuo Tianyi said persistently: "Such a fiasco, I must have a big flaw, or character, or strength, I am willing to be a gatekeeper, that is, to think and forge ahead in hardship." ”
He is punishing himself with humiliation, hardship, and pain, and motivating himself.
In the martial arts world, this is a very old-school ascetic style.
Because it is very pedantic, stubborn and traditional, it is rarely understood.
However, Lu Qingchen can understand them.
The more you desire a strong person, the closer you get to the ascetic life.
Although Lu Qingchen has never been a janitor, his dignity has been trampled on countless times during the three years of the candidate camp, which is far better than the humiliation of being a janitor.
Moreover, the penance of the last year has been even more severe than that of an ascetic.
Impacting the small veins, swallowing the dragon's blood treasure milk, and breaking bones nine methods, which one is not a painful method to torture oneself?
The soft mussels sharpen their bright pearls in pain, and the plum leaves a cold fragrance in the bitter cold.
Only in suffering can people attain nirvana.
Lu Qingchen's eyes softened slightly, and he shook his head and said: "It is difficult to make a big deal behind closed doors, if you want to make up for your own shortcomings, you should see more powerful people, and staying here as a gatekeeper will only bury yourself." ”
Zhuo Tian's eyes flashed, and he fell into deep thought.
Powerful and strong, the younger generation in the world, except for Jiang Xuling, where is there a stronger person?
"Don't draw the ground as a prison." Lu Qingchen said slowly: "If you think that the sky is only as big as what you see, then you will never see the wider world!" Like a frog in a well, he will always see the sky as big as the mouth of a well. ”
A deafening remark brought a slight shock to Zhuo Tianyi.
"The Principality of Heaven is not the only one in the world."
Zhuo Tianyi's eyes were brighter, he was silent for a long time, and then turned to bow to Lu Qingchen: "Listening to your words, it is better to read for ten years, I am too rigid in the form of penance, and I do not pay attention to the essence, please allow me to stay here as a gatekeeper and meditate for a few days." ”
There are still some things he hasn't understood, or he has understood, but he doesn't know where to go.
"Yes." Lu Qingchen said indifferently.
Back in the mansion, Yun'er and a group of maidservants looked at Lu Qingchen with shining eyes.
"Young Master, you are too powerful!" Yun'er recalled Lu Qingchen's move just now, and she didn't dare to imagine it at all.
Lu Qingchen said with a smile: "If you continue to cultivate, you will soon reach my level." ”
"By the way, what are you cultivating now?" Lu Qingchen asked.
"Xiao Chen's position is Jiuming." Yun'er's pretty eyes flashed slightly.
At the beginning, Lin Yuxuan was still Xiaochen Baming, and she was a mortal with nothing.
Now that she has become Xiaochen Jiuming, I don't know what realm Lin Yuxuan has reached.
Dada——
Suddenly, a fast horse came, and on the horse's back was Lu Jian.
He was stationed outside the house, his face slightly embarrassed.
"Cousin......" Lu Jian said jerkyly.
The relationship between the two families eased, and Lu Jian also learned from the pain and regretted the past, but when they really met, it was inevitable that they would feel unnatural.
Lu Qingchen came out when he heard the voice, and his expression was calm: "Cousin, why are you here?" ”
Not being looked at by Lu Qingchen with strange eyes, Lu Jian felt a lot more relaxed in his heart, and said with a sigh of relief: "Half a moon ago, there were guests in Mingcheng on the night, and my uncle asked me to invite you, saying that if you go out of the customs, you will go back to accompany you, I have been here four or five times, and you have been cultivating outside and have not come back." ”
Lu Qingchen was slightly surprised.
This is the first time that his father has asked Lu Qingchen to give up cultivation and go back to accompany the guests.
In the past, he was always made to cultivate.
Must be a very important guest.
"What kind of guest?" Lu Qingchen asked.
Lu Jian said: "It's your grandfather's cousin who came." ”
Grandpa's ......
Lu Qingchen was very silent, from childhood to adulthood, he didn't remember any contact with his grandfather's family.
The distant Yeming City Father-in-law's house is only a stranger to Lu Qingchen.
No, less than a stranger.
I remember when I was very young, not long after my mother disappeared, my grandfather came to the door and had a fierce quarrel with my father.
He then wounded his father and threatened him with the forfeiture of not being allowed to set foot in Luminous City for the rest of his life.
The two families had a very unpleasant quarrel.
Although Lu Qingchen was young at that time, he was already very sensible, and he hated his grandfather's house from the bottom of his heart.
Many years have passed, and when it comes to my grandfather's family, I still can't help but feel rejection.
I don't know why, but this time my cousin actually came to Guzhou as a guest.
"Cousin, will you go back now?" Lu Jian said: "Your cousin said that she wants to see you now." ”
Lu Qingchen shook his head after a slight groan: "Let's just say that I am cultivating outside and have not come back yet." ”
He didn't want to see anyone from his grandfather's house again.
I don't want to see any of them.
Sending him away, Lu Qingchen returned to the courtyard and instructed Yun'er to practice martial arts.
The yellow-level high-grade martial arts he gave to Yun'er were too profound for Yun'er, and he needed to be instructed from the side.
Time flies.
Compared with the quiet and comfortable Lufu in the south of the city, the city has long been boiling.
Located in the center of the city, Fengyun Tower opened again after a year of dust.
Whether it is the young generation, or the middle-aged and elderly generation, they all rushed to Fengyun Tower.
The forces of the Difu, Wenfu, Wufu, and Qianfu also rushed over one after another.
The commander of the Forbidden Army of the Wufu, the city lord of the Lone Boat of the Wenfu, and the top first-class families and power leaders of the Difu were present one after another.
Fengyun Tower only allows the top three of the Fengyun Club within five terms to enter, and outsiders with high status such as the Great Commander and City Lord are not allowed to enter.
Fortunately, three days ago, the two mobilized their forces to block the area near Fengyun Tower and build a three-zhang high platform.
Standing on the high platform, the details of the Fengyun Building can be seen at a glance.
The Grand Commander Sima Ao lived alone, and his eyes showed deep expectations: "I don't know what choice Zhou Shangjian will make after he withdraws from Fengyun Tower." ”
Zhou Shangjian is twenty-three years old, and it is already the last time he will serve as the leader of the alliance, and after this tracing tea party, he will leave Fengyun Tower.
He is one of the few young Tianjiao in Fengyun Mansion who has not yet chosen a camp.
Both the Wen Mansion and the Wu Mansion were very concerned about him.
City Lord Nangong Zhu Ruya chuckled: "Why does Commander Sima knowingly ask? As far as I know, Zhou Shangjian has already been in secret contact with you, right? ”
Sima Ao disagreed, and said with a smile: "Didn't he also have secret contact with you?" ”
Hearing this, Nangong Zhu frowned slowly: "Zhou Shangjian has been elected as the leader of the alliance for two consecutive terms, and his potential has been shown, and at an ordinary price, I am afraid it will be difficult to recruit him again." ”
Not long ago, Zhou Shangjian found the Wenfu and discussed the conditions for joining the Wenfu.
At first, Nangong Zhu was very happy, if he could recruit such a promising Tianjiao, it would be very beneficial to the growth of Wenfu.
But the conditions he proposed made Nangong Zhu fall into thought.
The condition for him to join the Wen Mansion was to marry Nangong Die and become the son-in-law of the City Lord's Mansion.
Nangong Zhu's original intention was to marry his granddaughter to Lu Qingchen, so he did not immediately agree to Zhou Shangjian's request.
It's just that he temporarily gave up going to the Lu Mansion to discuss the marriage arrangement.
Lu Qingchen certainly has potential, but the results are only a blockbuster performance, and at present, there are no eye-catching results.
On the other hand, Zhou Shangjian successfully entered the top 50 on the battle list, leaving the contemporary teenagers of Guzhou far away, which can be described as amazing.
His future achievements are by no means inferior to his Nangong Zhu.
Therefore, Nangong Zhu was very moved and was considering Nangong Die's marriage.
After the current meeting, if Zhou Shangjian's performance can go further and completely move him, Nangong Zhu will make up his mind and set the marriage between the two.
As for Nangong Die's sweetheart is Lu Qingchen, in front of the family's interests, the children's private feelings are behind.
Sima Aoruo sighed meaningfully: "It seems that Zhou Shangjian has also put forward harsh conditions for your Wenfu. ”
Zhou Shangjian also approached the Wu Mansion and proposed to join them on the condition that he would be given the status of deputy commander, just like the current Zhao Zixue.
There are only four deputy commanders, and if he wants to be elected deputy commander, it means that one must be eliminated.
But the four deputy commanders, any one of them was cultivated by the Martial Arts, how can they be eliminated if they are eliminated?
But Zhou Shangjian's qualifications were shocking, and he was reluctant to give up.
Therefore, they are also in a dilemma.
Today, Zhou Shangjian's performance will influence Sima Ao's decision.
At this moment, the two giants of the lonely boat focused on Zhou Shangjian.
The focus of the two was not on Lu Qingchen, and they didn't even pay attention to him.
Because in the face of such a grand event today, there are many geniuses, and Lu Qingchen can only be regarded as a member of the bottom, so there is really no need to pay attention.
