Chapter XXIII. Worship the village
Lu Zhi stood outside the village and waited for a while before a housekeeper came to open the door and greeted him and invited him into the village.
"This Wudang young man, my master has prepared tea, water, melons and fruits in the village, and invited the young man to enter the village for a while."
Lu Zhi nodded and said, "I'm tired of the housekeeper leading the way." ”
"Young man is polite."
The two entered the Zhuangzi one after the other, and soon they had already arrived at the main hall of the village, Zhu Changling was already waiting in the hall, and before Lu Zhi entered the hall, he hurriedly got up to greet him, and the smile on his face was extremely enthusiastic.
Lu Zhi bowed to him, and took the opportunity to take a closer look at Zhu Changling, only to see that he was dignified, and at a glance, he gave people a sense of majesty and integrity.
If it weren't for Lu Zhi's knowledge of the original work and his preconceived impression of being a 'villain', I'm afraid he would really subconsciously 'judge people by their appearance' and regard him as a benevolent and righteous hero.
However, at this time, Zhu Changling was not a villain.
At this time, although he likes to hold the shelf of the owner, he is indeed trying his best to maintain the character after loyalty, and he has not done anything too bad.
And his daughter Zhu Jiuzhen, the well-known beautiful and bad woman, is only a twelve-year-old Lori elementary school student now, and she has not yet awakened the strange habit of raising vicious dogs to bite people, at most, it is because she is pampered and has a rough and willful temper.
So at this time, Zhu Wu Lianhuanzhuang really can't say that he has done a lot of evil.
Before he met Zhang Wuji, and then was tempted by power and reputation, he began to plot the dragon slayer by unscrupulous means, and degenerated into a villain, Zhu Changling was actually a good person.
Prior to this, Lu Zhi had already inquired about Zhu Changling's personality from the farmers in the nearby villages, although this old boy had a big shelf, but he did not have any evil deeds of bullying the township, after all, he still had to maintain his reputation after being loyal and good.
It is precisely because of this that Lu Zhi will come to the door to worship the village by normal means, otherwise, he may have directly hit the door by violent means.
When Zhu Changling first saw Lu Zhi, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't believe that Lu Zhi was so young.
Looking at his age, at most he is the same age as his nephew Wei Bi, and he is already famous all over the world, he is really a young talent, unparalleled in the world!
Zhu Changling's mind turned quickly, but his face did not move, he stepped forward in a few steps, and greeted Lu Zhi enthusiastically: "This is the world-famous young man of Qingzhi, right?" I heard that the young man came to my Zhu Wu Lianlian Village to worship the village, but it really made Zhu excited... Come on, the young man is still invited to take a seat. ”
Lu Zhi said: "Master Zhu Zhuang is too polite, how can he surpass it as a junior in the rivers and lakes? Or ask the owner of Zhu Zhuang to take a seat, and it is enough to live in the last position. ”
"Hahaha, okay, then Zhu won't be too polite to Shaoxia, please take a seat."
After greeting Lu Zhi under the seat, Zhu Changling immediately turned his head and instructed the servant waiting next to him: "Hurry up and bring up my treasured dragon well before the rain, and by the way, invite Wu Lie, the owner of the second village, to the living room to wash the dust for Qingzhi Shaoxia." ”
Zhu Changling quickly ordered his subordinates to arrange a banquet, and invited Wu Lie, the second owner of Zhu Wu Lianhuanzhuang, as well as their daughters Zhu Jiuzhen, Wu Qingying, and disciple Wei Bi to accompany them.
Glancing at the big fish and meat on the table, Lu Zhi didn't say much, although he didn't eat meat every day, just ate some vegetarian food, yellow essence and other medicinal foods to replenish his vitality, but that was also because of the need for practice.
And now that his Pure Yang Wuji Gong has broken through to the fifth layer and reached the realm of Dacheng, it doesn't matter if he eats some meat.
During the banquet, Zhu Changling and Wu Lie frequently toasted Lu Zhi, and Lu Zhi did not refuse to come, the wine was dry, anyway, it was pure Yang Wuji Gong to protect the body, just this little wine, it was really no different from drinking water.
"By the way, I don't know if Qingzhi Shaoxia came to my Zhuwu Lianhuanzhuang to worship Zhuang this time, but what are your orders? If there is, please say it, as long as I Zhu Changling can do it, Zhu is absolutely duty-bound! ”
Lu Zhi glanced at him, just waiting for your words.
"It's not a secret, I came here this time to discuss an important matter with the owner of Zhu Zhuang on the orders of the family master and the patriarch of Sanfeng."
"Oh? Was it actually Song Daxia and Sanfeng Zhenren who ordered it personally? Please also tell Shaoxia in detail. ”
Lu Zhi said: "That's the case, my fifth uncle Zhang Cuishan has a son named Wuji... A month ago, on the way back to Wudang, my fifth uncle's family was attacked by several mysterious masters. ”
"And in the melee, my Wuji junior brother was unfortunately injured by a thief with the power of the cold palm, and the medicine stone was helpless, even the ancestor of Sanfeng was powerless..."
When he said this, Lu Zhi suddenly looked up at Zhu Changling: "Subsequently, my Wudang people rummaged through the ancient books, tried their best, and finally found a way to save them, and the key to this rescue method was the Yang Finger handed down by the master of Yideng back then." ”
Hearing the three words of Yiyang Finger, Zhu Changling's complexion immediately changed, and the hand holding the cup couldn't help but tremble, spilling a lot of wine.
"It's... What do you mean? Do you want to take my Zhu family's Yiyang Finger Divine Skill? ”
Lu Zhi nodded: "That's right, in this world, the only one who can save my Wuji junior brother is probably Yiyang Finger, so the biggest purpose of my trip here is to ask Master Zhu Zhuang for the secret book of Yiyang Finger." ”
Zhu Changling looked at Lu Zhi with a cloudy face, his heart was in a hurry, as if he was thinking about something.
If it was someone else, he Zhu Changling would have turned his face directly with someone, but the person who came was Lu Zhi, a disciple of Wudang.
The reputation of the Wudang faction is so prosperous that few people in the entire rivers and lakes dare to oppose it, let alone their small Zhuwu Lianhuanzhuang.
Even just this young man with green plants here, I'm afraid he can pick up their entire Zhuwu Lianhuanzhuang with one person and one sword... He doesn't have the capital to turn his face at all!
"This..."Zhu Changling pondered his tone and put on an embarrassed expression, "It stands to reason that Zhu should not refuse Qingzhi Shaoxia, but after all, this yang finger is my Zhu family's family heirloom, and the ancestral precept is passed down, so it cannot be passed on..."
Regarding Zhu Changling's reaction, Lu Zhi had already expected it.
"Master Zhu, please think again... This time, the family teacher has already instructed that this thing must be done. ”
"What's more, considering Guizhuang's doubts, Patriarch Sanfeng also instructed that this matter be facilitated as a martial arts exchange."
"As long as the owner of Zhu Zhuang can agree, then Guizhuang can choose a peerless school of my Wudang faction as an exchange at will."
"In addition, I, Wudang, can also promise Guizhuang that I will never pass on the finger of Yiyang, and even my Wudang disciple will not practice at will, and after Patriarch Sanfeng has seen the secret book, he will destroy it immediately... Everything I do in Wudang is only for the purpose of saving people. ”
Hearing Lu Zhi say this, Zhu Changling's face became a little better-looking, fortunately, this Wudang faction is a decent family after all, and he still has to worry about face in doing things.
And in this way, he doesn't seem to lose at all, but makes money.
Wudang's mastery, each of which is very famous in the rivers and lakes, especially Zhu Changling is still the same era as the Wudang Seven Heroes, and he has a deep understanding of this.
So this thing... Seems to be able to promise to come down?
