Tuzhou City is located in the southeast corner of Zhongzhou, barren and remote. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although info is also considered a city, it is rarely populated and full of wild grass. The only thing worth mentioning here is the ancient battlefield.

The entrance to the ancient battlefield is in Tuzhou City.

Since the aura of the ancient battlefield has changed, Tuzhou has now changed in a different way. The grass and rivers are soaked in aura, and the scenery has become much more beautiful in just a few months. What's even different is the people here.

Tuzhou City, which had almost no place to stay, has suddenly opened a lot of new pavilions recently.

Especially along the banks of the Songjiang River in front of us, a number of restaurants and inns have been built at an amazing speed, including the construction of large businesses such as Lin's and Baili's, which are exquisitely furnished inside and out, and the price is expensive but overcrowded. It's just that the opening period of the ancient battlefield is approaching.

And that's not all.

This ancient battlefield was really special, first there was a large spiritual energy change that affected the entire Central Continent, and then cultivators from the legendary divine domain appeared frequently, flying away and omnipotent. Although they are both cultivators, those major cultivators of the Divine Domain are really no different from immortals in the hearts of the people of Zhongzhou.

Including the children of the family in the Middle Continent, of course, they didn't have the courage to compete with the forces of the Divine Domain in the name of their families, but it didn't prevent them from seeing other opportunities in the slightest. Therefore, in the past few days, whenever there are people in the Divine Domain resting in the restaurant, there are often many young people in the Middle Continent who are "waiting for an opportunity" around, hoping to be favored by a certain senior who has cultivated to the heavens and ascend to the sky in one step.

As the dean of the first department of herbal medicine of the Taoist Academy, who is closer to Zhongzhou, Xia Liang has been unbearable recently.

Especially in today's conversation, Xia Liang didn't want more people to pay attention, so he deliberately chose this simple and clean shop. It's just that, although it is far from being lively, the degree of application is far better than those places. For example, in the past, it was all the kitchen that came with the Lu family, and as for the tea set cup to the tea leaves used now, it is also a commendable top grade in the divine domain.

Simple white porcelain, but the color is extremely moist. Every curvature of the vessel is just right, as if it were made in nature. The turquoise tea soup shakes slightly, making the porcelain white and pure, which makes people love it as soon as they pick it up.

"Plum blossom hall things. ”

Xia Liang's fingers propped up the cup and turned it slightly, and said leisurely: "On weekdays, I am not even reluctant to use it when I am refining medicine, you are good here, even the tea set is their family, luxury." ”

Zhang Dayan said: "Grandma, look at what you said, isn't this a child's mind!"

Xia Liang raised his eyelids, glanced at him and said, "So you still know." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Dayan didn't know why.

Xia Liang sighed with hatred, turned to look at Lu Qiming, and said, "I understand your intentions, but since you have a master-apprentice relationship with Dayan, there is absolutely no reason for you to bear this matter alone." This time, you will listen to me, follow the team of the Taoist Academy, and don't have any worries. ”

Zhang Dayan couldn't help but say: "Isn't this a matter of course?

This time in the ancient battlefield, since all the families in the Divine Domain have already come, there is naturally nothing to do with those small families in the Middle Continent. Originally, even the people of Zhongzhou were not qualified to go, but fortunately, there was a Taoist Academy, so they compromised - there was no longer a family division, and the Zhongzhou cultivators who originally went to the ancient battlefield all participated in the name of the Taoist Branch. According to Zhang Dayan's thoughts, Lu Qiming will certainly be no exception.

Xia Liang ignored Zhang Dayan, took out a jade pendant and handed it to Lu Qiming, and said with a smile: "Although it is not easy for me to decide the major matters in the courtyard, it is reasonable for me to take care of my juniors, who can say anything?"

The texture of the jade pendant is snow-white and delicate, and the ring is carved with four spirit patterns, which is very spiritual. As soon as Lu Qimingfu took the jade pendant, he felt a cool breath slowly spread through his body along the palm of his hand, which lifted his spirit and sharpened his five senses. It is an excellent quality spiritual weapon.

And the significance of this four-spirit jade pendant is by no means limited to this. It is equivalent to a talisman, a promise of the Taoist Academy.

Those practitioners who have made great contributions to the Taoist Academy will be able to receive the greatest help from the Taoist Academy by gifting the jade pendant to the juniors they recognize. Coupled with the special nature of the Daoist Academy, this jade pendant also has considerable effectiveness outside the Daoist Academy.

The Four Spirit Jade Pendant is so precious, naturally very few people can have it, and perhaps Xia Liang only has the authority of this one. Lu Qiming's identity is special after all, and it is the first time he has met Xia Liang, he really didn't expect her to do this.

But Lu Qiming took it without hesitation, "The elder gave it, I don't dare to resign." ”

Xia Liang's expression was even milder.

At this time, Zhang Dayan finally understood. The nature of this ancient battlefield is different from the past, and everyone who enters represents the forces behind them. In this way, if Lu Qiming openly participated as a member of the Daoist Academy in this situation involving the disputes of the major forces in the Divine Domain, it would be equivalent to making an official statement that the ninth generation would join the Daoist Academy.

Let's ignore Lu Qiming's wishes. The Daoist Academy has always been a neutral force, and it may not be willing to admit the trouble of the Nine Generations, let alone take the initiative to involve the dispute between the Martial Sect and the Spirit Alliance.

What worries the Daoist Academy even more is that, as Suzuko thinks, there is still no conclusive evidence that Lu Qiming and Cheng Yuan are not the same person, except for a very few who have been in close contact with the two of them.

It was precisely because Lu Qiming knew this that he did not want to embarrass Zhang Dayan and Xia Liang, so he simply communicated with them as a junior at the beginning of today, and vaguely indicated that he would go alone this time.

However, Xia Liang has never been the kind of character who only weighs the pros and cons to treat people. Now that she already knows Lu Qiming's situation, how can she ignore it?

But Lu Qiming can't be relaxed because of this. He said sincerely: "I don't want to be targeted by others in the ancient battlefield because of me. After a pause, he said, "I can go with An Lan first." ”

"She?" Xia Liang raised his eyebrows and said, "Wasn't she sent by the Spirit League to keep an eye on you?"

Lu Qiming smiled: "It's okay. ”

Xia Liang shook his head slightly and continued: "The Dao Academy has decided to give up this competition in the ancient battlefield, so you don't have to worry. ”

Lu Qiming was stunned.

Xia Liang glanced at him and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you don't have that much face." ”

Lu Qiming was stunned and asked instead, "What's going on...... The Taoist Academy is not interested in the 'Eternal Silence Table'?"

"Yes, that's part of the reason. Xia Liang bowed his head and said, "Then I have to take care of the children here in the Zhongzhou Branch." The ancient battlefield was originally for them to cultivate, but it didn't make sense, but they were all driven away by the people of the Divine Domain. This time, the Taoist Academy only operates within the safe zone, and will not go to the depths to compete with them, and they have nothing to do with each other. ”

"I see. Lu Qiming nodded.

"What," Xia Liang looked at his expression and said with a smile: "Could it be that you still have an interest in Eternal Silence?"

Lu Qiming shook his head and said, "No." ”

Xia Liang said: "Isn't that enough...... Or what else would you like to do?"

Lu Qiming hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "I want to solve the matter of Chengyuan here." ”

Xia Liang was stunned for a moment, and Zhang Dayan stood up in shock, blurting out: "No!

Xia Liang stopped Zhang Dayan's words with gestures, "Listen to him first...... she looked at the young man beside her and said, "What exactly do you want to do." ”

"It's a solution, a complete solution. Lu Qiming looked up at them, his expression was normal, and there was no extra emotion in his voice.

He continued, "He took my mother, took my identity, killed me again, and I didn't even know who he was. Since he will also come to the ancient battlefield this time, he must meet him. If it can be resolved peacefully as soon as possible, I don't really mind. But if you can't, solve it too. This kind of absurdity really shouldn't be put off any longer. ”

Xia Liang and Zhang Dayan didn't speak for a while.

Lu Qiming smiled: "Doesn't it sound like it's self-sufficient?"

Xia Liang thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, I think you should avoid this ancient battlefield." As long as you stay with me all the time, when the ancient battlefield is over, the truth can be clarified without argument, and your identity with Cheng Yuan can be completely separated, and you can also have more help from the Feng clan. It's more secure that way. ”

Lu Qiming said: "It is precisely because of this that we can't wait. ”

Xia Liang was stunned and sighed: "Yes, if your mother is really still in Cheng Yuan's hands, it will be even more dangerous." ”

Lu Qiming nodded, and said, "Besides, outside the ancient battlefield, the Spirit Alliance will definitely stop it." Just like in the past, they stopped Cheng Yuan from killing me. ”

Xia Liang frowned: "So ...... it"

Zhang Dayan was shocked: "Then what should you do if Cheng Yuan wants to do it to you again?"

Lu Qiming said: "No." ”

Zhang Dayan jumped up.

Lu Qiming smiled bitterly: "But not in the future." ”

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Zhang Dayan was angry, and said hurriedly: "With your talent, as long as you are given time, who will you be afraid of?" But now you yourself say that you are not sure, why dare you deal with Cheng Yuan. ”

Lu Qiming was silent for a moment and said, "As long as something happens, there will be a chance." ”

Zhang Dayan said angrily: "Nonsense, nonsense, I don't allow you to go!" After relieving his breath, he persuaded bitterly: "Wait, wait a few more years." When you are more sure of your cultivation. ”

"The gap is only going to get bigger. Lu Qiming shook his head and smiled helplessly: "Cheng Yuan...... How to put it, he is like a person who has more spiritual experience, always ahead of me. ”

This was not an impulse, but a decision made by Lu Qiming after a long period of thinking.

There are stone men who express kindness to him in the ancient battlefield, and they can eliminate the manipulation of the Spirit Alliance and the gaze of the "higher being" to the greatest extent, and the only danger that Lu Qiming needs to face is Cheng Yuan. And as time goes by, Cheng Yuan's strength will only get stronger and stronger, and it will be difficult for Lu Qiming to find such an opportunity. Therefore, the ancient battlefield is the key place he must face.

Relative. If Cheng Yuan harbors malicious intent, then the ancient battlefield is also a great opportunity for Cheng Yuan to deal with Lu Qiming - is he capable of dealing with it?

But such a question does not make the slightest sense. There is no way to hide from things, and there is no choice but to do it.

"No, I can't. This will not work. The more Zhang Dayan thought about it, the more panicked he became, and said: "If you go over with this kind of thought now, something big will happen if you can't keep it." You definitely can't go this time. ”

"Master, things aren't that bad. Lu Qiming shook his head and said, "I still have some self-preservation." Moreover, Cheng Yuan's true attitude is still unknown, and maybe there is a misunderstanding in the middle that I don't know...... This possibility cannot be completely ruled out. ”

Zhang Dayan shouted: "He's going to kill you, there's a fart misunderstanding!"

Lu Qiming had no choice but to smile bitterly.

"Whisper to me. Xia Liang frowned and reprimanded Zhang Dayan, and asked Lu Qiming, "Do you know anything else about Chengyuan?...... Of course, if it's not appropriate to say it, don't say it. ”

"There's nothing out of place, and most people won't believe it. Lu Qiming smiled and said, "The similarity between Cheng Yuan and me is not pretended, and what I said before is not a metaphor. The ability he has shown is like me in the future, me who will continue to cultivate in the future...... So we must have had an extremely close relationship with each other, that's true. It's a pity that he knows more than I know at this point. However, one of my seniors made an agreement with me that when I arrived at the ancient battlefield, he would tell me the cause and effect. ”

Zhang Dayan wanted to say something, but Xia Liang raised his hand to stop him.

Xia Liang said, "Your master, as well as me, usually don't get involved in outside affairs. Some things about you are still known when someone reminds you, so many things are inevitably not well thought out. But you have to say what you need, don't worry about the irrelevance. ”

She said seriously, and Lu Qiming also nodded seriously.

"In any case, you are the time-traveler of this generation after all, that's a fact. I trust your decision. Xia Liang looked at him and said.

"Grandma!" Zhang Dayan still couldn't approve.

"But," Xia Liang said again, "you have to take this." ”

With a flick of her fingers, she took out a crystal clear spirit bead. If you look closely, you can see that there is a pale cyan lotus flower that is almost transparent.

"This is a piece of armor called Lotus Drop. Xia Liang said, "I won't explain much in the specifics, if you integrate it into your body, you will know its many wonders." I was going to use it for my own use, but since you have such a plan, I'll take this as a gift. ”

Lu Qiming was stunned, and subconsciously wanted to get up and excuse himself; without it, even in the name of a greeting gift, it would be too heavy. Lu Qiming has the ability to read the rules, and the first time he saw the lotus drop, he knew that this was a magic weapon, and to some extent it was even more precious than the Youquan Mirror, and it was also very useful to Xia Liang. He would only feel ashamed to be given such a precious thing for no reason.

"It's just a foreign object. Xia Liang waved his hand disappreciatively. She simply drew a drop of blood directly from Lu Qiming's fingertips, and immediately saw with her own eyes that Liandi recognized the Lord before giving up. "If you really don't want to go, it's a big deal that you can help take care of those students when you are on the ancient battlefield. ”

"And, take care of yourself, too. She said.
