An orange moon hung high in the sky, and the silver moonlight fell like a ribbon, enveloping the earth in peace and quiet.

At this time, there is no figure in the streets and alleys of Longzhou Mansion, and the people who have been busy for a day have already fallen asleep, only a gong sounded from time to time in the distance, which is the person who is on duty patrolling the street.

In the Lu family compound, most of the people also fell asleep early. And the Lion Awakening Pavilion where the patriarch Lu Tianfeng lived was still lit, he was sitting cross-legged on his bed at this time, his eyes were closed, and his hands were playing complex handprints, surrounded by a strong aura of heaven and earth gathered on the top of his head, constantly being absorbed, and his back was bubbling with hot air, obviously he was at a critical juncture in his cultivation at this moment.

As the patriarch of such a huge family as the Lu family, managing the livelihood of tens of thousands of people up and down, Lu Tianfeng has to deal with a lot of things every day. Among the patriarchs of the Lu family, Lu Tianfeng is the most diligent and attentive to family affairs, so he likes to do many things himself, which also leads to the fact that he has no time to cultivate during the day, so he can only use the rest time at night to cultivate.

As a martial arts family, the Lu family is naturally based on cultivation, and everything is respected by strength, especially the higher the status, the higher the corresponding strength you need, otherwise a person with low strength will be the patriarch, and the people below will not be convinced, it will definitely be difficult to manage such a huge family.

At the same time, in addition to the Lion Awakening Pavilion is also brightly lit, there is another place in the Lu family that is also brightly lit. That is the courtyard where Lu Tianhong, the second elder who is currently in the limelight and has a lot of power, lives.

At this time, in the study of the second elder Lu Tianhong, his close butler Lu Tai was standing respectfully beside the desk with his hands down, his mouth was constantly moving, as if he was talking about something.

"You just said that the Great Elder and the Seventh Elder went to the Patriarch tonight?" Suddenly, a cold voice slowly came out of Lu Tianhong's mouth, and there was no emotion in that tone.

"Yes, sir, just now my people below came to report, saying that they saw the Great Elder and the Seventh Elder go to the Lion Awakening Pavilion together, and they stayed in it for a long time, and it took nearly half an hour to come out. Lu Tai said respectfully.

"Oh, why are the Great Elder and Seventh Elder going to the Patriarch so late?" Lu Tianhong's eyes were slight, his eyes were shining, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

"Well, this subordinate can't figure it out either, but according to the guard who came back to report, the Great Elder and the Seventh Elder didn't have very good expressions when they came out of the Awakening Lion Pavilion," Lu Tai reported truthfully.

"Oh, the Great Elder and the Seventh Elder didn't look good when they came out, then that's very interesting," Lu Tianhong suddenly smiled and said with a calm expression.

"The subordinates don't understand why the master said this," Lu Tai asked cautiously, although he had been following the lord in front of him for more than ten years, it was precisely because of this that he understood the cruelty and viciousness of the lord in front of him.

"Hehe, you said that the Great Elder and the Seventh Elder had a bad face when they came out, then it means that they must have gone to the patriarch for something, but they didn't get the result they wanted, so they looked ugly. Lu Tianhong seemed to have a smile on his face, and said meaningfully

"So that's the case, it's all the subordinates who are stupid, or the old man is smart, just from a little detail, you can see a lot of doorways," Lu Tai seemed to suddenly realize, and couldn't help but pat himself on the back, which made people look a little funny.

Listening to Lu Tai's words of praise, Lu Tianhong smiled and looked very enjoyable.

"However, what will they do when they go to the patriarch?" Lu Tianhong shook his head slightly, puzzled.

"Has there been any major or special events in the family recently?" Lu Tianhong suddenly asked seriously, because he had been in retreat and cultivation recently, and he hadn't paid much attention to the things in the outside world, that is, he had only ended his retreat today.

Hearing Lu Tianhong's question, Lu Tai hurriedly replied, "Back to the master, there haven't been any major incidents in the family recently, if there is anything special, I have one thing in mind." ”

"Oh, what's the special thing?" Hearing Lu Tai's words, a trace of curiosity suddenly rose in Lu Tianhong's heart, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he hurriedly asked.

Lu Tai adjusted his thoughts for a moment and then said calmly: "That's the case, master." Today, I heard from the people below that Lu Yan, the youngest grandson of the patriarch, and Lu Qiang, the grandson of the Seventh Elder, had a conflict in Longyan Cave today, but in the end there was no fight. ”

"What's so special about this", Lu Tianhong felt a little puzzled, his face was a little unhappy, and he was a little disappointed with what Lu Tai said.

"yes, I didn't think it was anything special. And if it's just a conflict between the two sons, it's nothing special. Sensing the displeasure on Lu Tianhong's face, Lu Tai's heart tightened, and an inexplicable fear swirled in his mind.

But after all, he has been with his master for more than ten years, he quickly reacted, wiped the sweat beads on his forehead with his sleeves, paused, and continued" But the problem is, listening to the people below, at that time, Lu Qianggongzi burst out with the momentum of the seventh layer of refining body to oppress Lu Yangongzi, but just when everyone thought that Lu Yangongzi was going to be humiliated in public, then Lu Yangongzi's body actually broke out with an equally powerful momentum and Lu Qianggongzi formed a close match, and he did not fall behind at all, Lu Tai said the news he got from his subordinates in one breath.

"Oh, there is such a thing, didn't Lu Yan rumor it before that his meridians were broken, how could he still burst out with such strength. Lu Tianhong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked in surprise. As soon as he came out of retreat today, he happened to hear the people below talk about it, and when he heard it, he was very happy.

"Master, this is also what I feel strange, I can be sure that the rumors that Lu Yan's meridians were broken are absolutely true, and I also went to check what happened to him in Longyan Cave yesterday, and it is all true, but what makes me puzzled is that since he has broken his meridians, why can he still burst out with such strength. Unless his meridians are already healed," Lu Tai analyzed step by step.

"Well, your analysis is very reasonable, if what you said is indeed true, it can only mean that his meridians are indeed good," Lu Tianhong nodded in agreement with Lu Tai's analysis.

"But here's the problem, as we all know, the meridians are the foundation of a martial artist's cultivation, if the meridians are broken, then a martial artist is basically useless. And there are only two ways to re-heal the broken meridians, that is, there are masters above the congenital level to help or more than three healing elixirs to treat the broken meridians. But we don't have innate martial artists in the entire Longzhou Mansion, and I haven't heard that the family has more than three healing elixirs, the more Lu Tai thinks about it, the more he feels incomprehensible, and this is also where he is puzzled.

"Three-grade elixir?"

Hearing Lu Tai talk about the elixir, Lu Tianhong's mind flashed with a flash of inspiration, and he suddenly thought of a possibility.

Could it be that the Great Elder and the Seventh Elder went to the Patriarch for this reason?

"Hmph, Lu Tianfeng, Lu Tianfeng, it seems that you must have given the golden silk dragon ginseng to that kid, otherwise how could the boss and the seventh go to you so late, you must know that the seventh has always been very bad with you, hehe" Lu Tianhong secretly calculated in his heart, but the surface was unwavering and expressionless.

"Last time I asked you for it, you didn't give it to me, and you said in public that it was the prize for the first place in this year's clan competition, and now you let that kid take it, I'll see how you explain it then. Lu Tianhong suddenly felt a burst of joy in his heart, and his eyes flashed with a playful look of conspiracy.

"However, this may also be an opportunity for me," Lu Tianhong thought about it carefully, and suddenly felt that such a situation might bring some unexpected benefits to himself.

After Lu Tai finished talking just now, he looked up at Lu Tianhong from time to time, wondering what his master thought about this matter. However, seeing that his master had been silent, he knew that he was thinking about things, so he waited quietly and did not dare to disturb.

After being silent for a while, Lu Tianhong raised his right hand and waved his hand to Lu Tai, and said, "I know the matter, you go down first." ”

Originally, he wanted to get some news from his master, but after hearing Lu Tianhong's words, he knew that his master had made a decision. Although he didn't tell himself, as the person who was most worthy of Lu Tianhong's trust over the years, Lu Tai knew what he should ask and what not to ask, bowed his hand, and then left the room respectfully.

At this time, Lu Tianhong was the only one left in the huge room, quietly staring at a landscape map on the wall, and after a closer look, this landscape map was exactly the same as the landscape map in the bedroom of the Lu family patriarch.

Time passed minute by minute, I don't know how long it took, Lu Tianhong was originally staring quietly at a landscape map hanging on the wall, and suddenly muttered to himself, "After so many years of competition, is it finally time to finally see the difference?." ”

At the same time, in the mysterious basement of the Lu family, there was also a figure in a black robe, fiddling with a thin wire at this time. Under the casual fiddling of the black-robed man, the candlelight flickered and flickered, adding a lot of mystery to this secret room.

After nearly a quarter of an hour, the black-robed man stopped his movements and casually threw the already reddish wire on the ground, and the moment the wire hit the ground, a puff of white smoke came out.

"Those two old guys went to find Lu Tianfeng so late, is there something important, is it that they have noticed something about me?" The black-robed man's eyes narrowed slightly, and a chilling cold light flashed from time to time.

"How is this possible, for more than ten years, I have been keeping a low profile, doing everything very secretly, and it is impossible for them to notice about me," the black-robed man shook his head and muttered.

"I hope you haven't found me before I find that thing, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless, the black-robed man suddenly stood up from the stool and smiled, with a hint of weirdness on his face, and then a powerful terrifying momentum instantly burst out, extinguishing the already weak candle flame. I want to talk about "Burning Sky Shengzun" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
