Chapter 281: Dan Chen
Lu Yu looked at this old man who suddenly appeared, and while feeling awe, he also had a strong curiosity in his heart. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
What kind of person is this old man, what is the purpose of such a powerful person suddenly appearing here.
Looking at the other party's posture, it is clear that he is coming at his own group. Could it be that it was the opponent of Xuanmu Zhenren, who came here to find fault.
Xuanmu Zhenren looked at the old man in front of him, also frowned, and asked impatiently, "What are you doing here?"
The old man squinted at Xuanmu Zhenren, snorted lightly and said, "I definitely didn't come here to find your stubborn donkey." ”
Seeing that the other party was with this attitude, Xuanmu Zhenren knew in his heart, and immediately understood the old man's intentions.
"You're still here for him. ”
"Of course. In your Muxuan Palace, I look at that kid pleasing to the eye. The old man said to Xuanmu Zhenren: "Why, now, are you still blocking me from seeing it?"
Listening to the old man's tone, there was a feeling of asking for guilt. But Xuanmu Zhenren didn't answer, just stood there silently, looking like you were casual.
The old man glanced at Xuanmu Zhenren, showing an expression that counted you as acquaintance, and then stood up straight and looked behind Xuanmu Zhenren.
The old man's gaze fell straight on Lu Yu in the crowd.
In an instant, except for Genki Zhenren, everyone's eyes were also cast.
Lu Yu, who was originally standing there watching the play, never expected that he would suddenly become the target of public criticism, and suddenly had a feeling of impending a catastrophe.
"Boy, it's you, what are you doing in a daze, don't hurry up. ”
Before Lu Yu could figure out what was going on, the old man directly found Lu Yu and asked Lu Yu to go up by name.
This made Lu Yu confused, and he couldn't figure out what the other party was going to do when he suddenly found him.
Lu Yu didn't have the slightest impression of this old man, and he was sure that he had never seen this old man before.
In the past few years since he came to Jiuxuan Palace, Lu Yu's activities have been very regular, except for Muxuan Palace, Lu Yu has been to only a handful of places, and few people have seen him.
Like this old man in front of him, if he had seen it before, even if he had just taken a photo, Lu Yu would never forget it.
In front of everyone's eyes, Lu Yu couldn't hide if he wanted to, so he could only step forward.
"Disciple Lu Yu, I have seen Uncle Shi. ”
Until now, Lu Yu didn't know the specific identity of the other party. But the other party's grade is obviously older than Xuanmu Zhenren, and his strength is also at the same level as Xuanmu Zhenren. It shouldn't be wrong to call him uncle.
The other party also seemed to be very interested in Lu Yu's uncle, squinted at Lu Yu, and said, "Boy, do you know who I am?"
Lu Yu, who asked these words, was stunned.
I just saw you for the first time today, and I haven't even heard your name, so how do I know who you are?
Lu Yu peeked at the Xuanmu Zhenren next to him, but saw that the Xuanmu Zhenren seemed to be settled, and he didn't even look at himself, let alone have the slightest intention of relieving himself.
Lu Yu secretly slandered, then turned to look at the old man, and said respectfully: "The disciple is ignorant, he doesn't know Mount Tai with his eyes, and he asks Uncle Shi to teach him." ”
"Old Fu Danchen is the Protector Elder of the Fire Xuan Palace. The alchemy technique in the entire Nine Xuan Palace, even if it is not the first, can still be ranked in the top three. ”
The old man was not ambiguous, directly reported his identity, and emphasized the mastery of his alchemy.
The Nine Xuan Palace is in charge of the world's bull ears, and the Fire Xuan Palace has brought together the best alchemists in the world. Dan Chen said this as the Protector Elder of the Fire Xuan Palace, and his domineering spirit could be seen.
"It turned out to be Uncle Danchen. Uncle Shi's name has long been famous all over the world, like thunder. Lu Yu was ashamed and didn't have the opportunity to meet his uncle. It is really a blessing to see it today. ”
Regarding Danchen's reputation, Lu Yu had heard of it before. Not only Dan Chen, but also the masters of the Nine Great Palace Gates of the Nine Xuan Palace, Lu Yu had made special inquiries.
According to what he heard before, this Dan Chen, as he said, the alchemy technique was second to none in the entire Jiuxuan Palace.
Lu Yu said flattering words in his mouth, but the muttering in his heart became more and more.
Your Danchen is famous, and almost everyone knows about it. But what does this have to do with me, why did you come to me as soon as you came up?
Lu Yu looked at Dan Chen, who looked awesome in front of him, and saw that the other party didn't mean to take the initiative to speak, but was looking at himself vigorously.
After hesitating slightly, Lu Yu gritted his teeth and asked, "I don't know if Uncle Shi called Lu Yu forward, but what do you have to order?"
"Of course I'm looking for you. Dan Chen smiled lightly, looked at Lu Yu, and suddenly asked, "The old man asked you, do you remember the taste of that vermilion fruit?"
Zhu Guo!
Hearing this word, Lu Yu's heart shook wildly, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
Since coming to the Nine Xuan Palace, Lu Yu has only swallowed Zhu Guo once, and that is when he and Tietou were attacked by a giant python in the dense forest.
At that time, the lives of the two were hanging by a thread, and Lu Yu relied on the curse created in the battle to kill the giant python, and the iron head escaped. not only harvested the inner dan of the giant python, but also found the best vermilion fruit along the vine.
It was precisely by relying on the nourishment of the giant python Neidan and the best Zhu Guo that Lu Yu had a much stronger foundation than ordinary people, and he was able to break through to the third stage of the Gathering Spirit in such a short period of time, shine in the assessment of the sect, and finally be valued by Xuanmu Zhenren.
To put it more seriously, it was that Zhu Guo that created today's Lu Yu.
This matter is a secret of Lu Yu, and no one knows about it except for the iron head. Even when dealing with Qin Hong in the sect assessment, Lu Yu fooled the matter by fooling an unknown wild fruit, and did not explicitly say that it was Zhu Guo that he swallowed.
Even in the face of Xuanmu Zhenren, Lu Yu did not say it.
It stands to reason that no third person should know about this.
But how could this Danchen suddenly mention that Zhu Guo here, and what does he have to do with this Zhu Guo.
Did he really know the inside story, or was he deliberately deceiving himself.
Countless thoughts flashed in Lu Yu's heart in an instant, thinking about how to deal with it.
"Uncle Mingjian, that Zhu Guo was born and grown, and there was no one to protect it when the disciple found it. The disciple thought it was an ownerless thing, so he picked and swallowed it. ”
After thinking for a moment, Lu Yu still made up his mind to tell the truth.
If no one knows about this matter, then Lu Yu can make up stories as much as he likes, and no one will come to debunk Lu Yu. But now that Danchen has clearly mentioned Zhu Guo, it is impossible for Lu Yu to think about pretending to be garlic again.
Even if Danchen was really cheating himself, in front of such an old monster, the possibility of Lu Yu getting through the test was infinitely close to zero.
"Of course that vermilion fruit is born and grown, could it be that you planted it yourself?" Dan Chen said, "But who told you that the vermilion fruit is an ownerless thing." ”
Dan Chen only said the first half of the sentence, and Lu Yu's face suddenly became bitter.
His worst fears came true.
Unexpectedly, Danchen also set his sights on this Zhu Guo at that time.
"Hmph, the old man has been guarding this vermilion fruit for a year, and his eyes are red. But I didn't expect to be picked up by your kid in the end. ”
"Uncle Shi, forgive me, at that time, the disciple really didn't know that this Zhu Guo was Uncle Shi's thing. Picking rashly, if it is inappropriate, please ask Uncle Shi to condemn it. ”
The situation is stronger than people, and people are chasing debts here. Lu Yu knew that he was at a loss, and he didn't dare to complain in the slightest.
What's more, this Danchen is a master at the same level as Xuanmu Zhenren, if such a person asks his own master, how can he resist.
Instead of denying it and denying it, and finally bringing humiliation on itself, it is better to lower the posture at the beginning and advance by retreating, but to be able to defeat the other party.
Sure enough, Lu Yu put on a posture of being at his disposal, and Dan Chen immediately couldn't help laughing.
"Good boy, what a job. Dan Chen waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't say anything about pleading." If the old man asks you, a hairy boy, to ask for guilt because of a small Zhu Guo, then the old man will not make the world laugh. ”
"Although the old man has been guarding this Zhu Guo for a whole year. But you also found out where Zhu Guo was after killing the giant python that guarded it. After nine deaths and a lifetime, it is also counted as what you deserve. Since this zhuguo is destined for you and enters your belly, how can the old man pull down the skin and ask you for it. ”
Hearing this, Lu Yu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said, "Uncle Shi is righteous, and the disciple is grateful to Dade." ”
"The old man is looking for you, not asking you for Zhu Guo. There's something else I want to tell you. ”
"If Uncle Shi has orders, but it doesn't matter, Lu Yu will do his best to do it. ”
Dan Chen nodded and said, "The old man didn't pick Zhu Guo that day, so he searched all the way to the courtyard where you lived, and found the medicine jar in your courtyard and the pile of medicine residue. It seems that you are quite interested in alchemy. ”
Not quite interested, but almost addicted. In his current life, in addition to cultivation, there is only medicine refining left.
Lu Yu muttered secretly in his heart.
But muttering, Lu Yu had already heard a little meaning from Dan Chen's words, and his face gradually became weird.
Probably not!
Lu Yu had just denied this idea that had just popped up in his heart, but Danchen's next words completely overturned Lu Yu's assumptions.
"The old man sees that you are a good seedling and a blessed fate, and wants to take you as an apprentice and teach you the art of alchemy, are you willing?"
Dan Chen's words, like a thunderbolt from the sky, made Lu Yu thunder on the outside and tender on the inside.
Lu Yu almost wondered if he had heard it wrong.
Danchen really dared to say that he really wanted to accept himself as an apprentice.
If you want to accept it, everyone has the heart to love talents, and we know it in our hearts. It's not that we can't understand that you like yourself. But if you want to talk to yourself, you can find another opportunity, at least find a more private place to talk about it.
It's good now, in front of everyone, in front of everyone, especially in front of Xuanmu Zhenren, you said that you wanted to accept yourself as an apprentice, and asked yourself if you were willing?
Oh my God, even if I really want to, what do you want me to say in such an occasion?
Isn't this to say in front of all these people that he wants to change his court and deceive his teachers and destroy his ancestors?
Without looking back, Lu Yu could guess what the expressions of the group of people behind him were now,
It must have been stunned while waiting to see his own joke.
As for Genki Zhenren!
Lu Yu peeked again, and found that Xuanmu Zhenren was still as if he was in a fixed position, his face did not fluctuate at all, and he didn't even move his eyelids.
What kind of attitude is this, the other party grabbed the apprentice under his nose, and he didn't react at all.
You're too confident, so sure you won't agree.
But in this way, isn't he the only one who is unlucky?
Lu Yu smiled bitterly twice in his heart, took a deep breath, and then bowed deeply to Dan Chen.
"Uncle Shi's love for Lu Yu, Lu Yu is grateful. But I am the ninth disciple of the palace master Xuanmu Zhenren of Muxuan Palace, and this will be unswerving for life, and I ask my uncle to forgive me. ”
As soon as Lu Yu said this, the originally solemn atmosphere of the scene suddenly became a little more cheerful, and Yang Shan and the others standing behind showed a smile on their faces.
Although they were all sure that Lu Yu would not agree to Dan Chen's request, when Lu Yu really said it, they still felt a sense of relief in their hearts.
Lu Yu is worthy of being their little junior brother.
The sound of breathing behind him clearly reached Lu Yu's ears, but Lu Yu, who felt the change in the atmosphere, rolled his eyes weakly.
Your hearts are happy, but I'm going to be unlucky.
"Good boy, I expected you to say that. ”
Dan Chen looked at Lu Yu, who was saluting him, and laughed: "You kid don't have to be so nervous, the old man didn't say that he wanted you to change the court." ”
"Ahh
If he refuses in public, Danchen's face will definitely not look good. Lu Yu, who was about to greet Dan Chen's anger, was full of surprise when he heard this, and couldn't help but cry out.
If you want to take me as an apprentice but don't need me to change your court, there is such a good thing in this world!
"What do you mean by this?"
Dan Chen squinted at Xuanmu Zhenren with a calm face, and said with a light snort: "From the moment you entered the Muxuan Palace, the old man knew that he was one step slower. Xuanmu's royal methods are well known to the world, and it is more difficult to make his apprentices change the court and return to other palaces. ”
"The old man knew from the beginning that you would not worship me as a teacher again, but I don't want to see your good seedling wasted like this. The art of alchemy is no better than others, if there is no famous teacher to guide you, you will not have great achievements even if you study it yourself for a lifetime. After thinking about it, the old man finally prepared this for you. ”
Danchen took out an object from his arms and threw it to Lu Yu.
Lu Yu took a look and found that it was a token, with the word "fire" engraved on one side and the word "morning" engraved on the other.
"This is a token made by the old man especially for you, and you have put it away. You are still a disciple of Xuanmu, and that will not change. But from today onwards, the old man will accept you as a registered disciple. From now on, if you have any doubts when practicing alchemy, you can use this token to go directly to the Fire Xuan Palace to find me. I'll teach you then. ”
