Back then, the Lu family took out a lot of silver for Yang Jing to spend at the border pass, and various military supplies were also allocated in large quantities. www.biquge.info It is not an exaggeration to say that the reason why Yang Jing was able to win consecutive battles at the border was inseparable from the great assistance given by the Lu family at that time. However, businessmen are also realistic. As soon as Yang Jing died, the Lu family suddenly scolded endlessly, and they all thought that they had done a loss-making business. Not to mention that the investment for many years has not been recovered, and he has married the powerless Yang family in vain.

When Yang Tianhong was very young, the Lu family did not admit this family affair at all. Lu Baoye also dotted up and down, and prepared a forged marriage certificate at the official mansion. In short, if Yang Qiurong came to ask for a kiss, the Lu family would not admit it at all.

Life is full of unknowable variables. It is very suitable to use this sentence to describe Lu Baoye's mood at the moment.

The Lu family was well-informed, of course he knew that Yang Qiurong was favored by the Qingling Sect Immortal Master at a young age and accepted as a disciple. It's just that the path of cultivating immortals is really ethereal, and there are too many unknowable factors mixed in it. Every year, all the major sects have to open their mountain gates to accept disciples, but how many people can successfully build a foundation? In a hundred years of life, there are many monks who are only at the third level of qi refining at the end of their lives. There are more qualified geniuses, and personal opportunities are also important. What's more, the cultivation sect is also full of intrigues. Although Yang Qiurong entered the Qingling Sect early, who can know if she will be successful in cultivation in the future? Perhaps, she is also a poor woman who has no hope of building a foundation and will die on the mountain.

What happened next was completely unexpected by Lu Baoye.

First, Yang Tianhong took the initiative to resign, and five years later he went down the mountain, and now, as a general of Xuanwu from the fourth grade, is in charge of the Xuanhuo Army.

Although Yang Qiurong has not yet built a foundation, his cultivation has reached the seventh layer of qi refining. Few monks have such strength at this age. It is conceivable that in the Qingling Sect, Yang Qiurong must be a highly valued young disciple. The sister and brother are so extraordinary, their future achievements can be imagined. Not to mention. Behind them, there is also a Quang Binh Houfu.

If it's just power, it's not in Lu Baoye's eyes. What he really likes is the status of the Yang family's sister and brother as monks.

Not every mortal is suitable for monasticism. Even if they are favored by the immortal masters, not everyone has achieved cultivation after going up the mountain. However, monks have access to things that mortals will never be able to reach. That's the elixir.

Taking the most common body forging pill as an example, after ordinary people take it, they can strengthen their bodies and prolong their lives.

Even in the cultivation world, the number of pills was scarce, and the disciples of the various sects could only receive their share on a monthly basis. Everyone knows that the elixir is precious, and everyone knows that strength represents everything. Therefore, when the pill is issued, it is swallowed as soon as possible. Then meditate and absorb the medicinal power carefully.

Monks had close ties with the world, and many of them were employed by the courts, officials, dignitaries, and wealthy of various countries. Among them, most of them are loose cultivators without sects, and occasionally there are a few sect disciples, and the asking price is also very expensive, and the annual offering of silver taels will not be less than 100,000 yuan.

I don't know when the officials and dignitaries who hired the monks began. I had the intention of getting the elixir from the monk. Everyone is afraid of death, and they are no exception to their wealth and wealth. However. The reason why the monks were willing to accept employment was to buy precious medicinal herbs from the people with a large amount of money. Taking ginseng as an example, old ginseng that is more than 50 years old can be used as an alchemy. Although the number of this aged ginseng is scarce, it can also be obtained in the world's view of silver money. But if it is refined into an elixir, the value will also be doubled.

Fifty-year-old ginseng is at most used to refine the body forging pill. If you want to refine the Yuan Qi Pill, it is at least a treasure ginseng that is more than two hundred years old.

No monk was willing to give up the elixir in his hand in exchange for worldly gold and silver. Because, two things are simply not equal.

With the financial resources of the Lu family, it is only by chance. I have obtained one Yuan Qi Pill and six Body Forging Pills. Back then, the head of the Lu family took the Forging Body Pill and lived to be three hundred and nineteen years old. As for that Yuan Qi Pill, the Lu family has preserved it from generation to generation. There was a strict instruction within the family about this: unless it was a disaster when the Lu family was on the verge of extinction, no one was allowed to take it without authorization. Violators will be killed.

There are many examples of marriages between monks and mortals, but it is extremely rare for an outstanding disciple like Yang Qiurong to do so. The goal of the Lu family is very clear: as long as Yang Qiurong becomes the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, no matter whether she leaves or stays in the future, she must take out a few body forging pills. If you're lucky, maybe you can get a Yuan Qi Pill from the Qingling Sect through Yang Qiurong.

Even if it was a million taels of silver in exchange for a Yuan Qi Pill, the Lu family felt that it was a good deal.

It is conceivable that Yang Tianhong only needed 400,000 taels of silver from the Meng family that day, and he had already given up a large part of his interests. It was precisely because of the large amount of materials obtained through the Meng family, as well as the stable logistics supply, that he would choose the Meng family as a partner.

Except for mundane mortals, once a monk obtains the Yuan Qi Pill, he always swallows it with his mouth open. It's not a banknote, it's something that can be stored in a bank for interest.

Lu Baoye felt very irritable.

He was well aware of his son's character.

This kid didn't know where he heard about Yang Qiurong's beautiful appearance and studying in Guozijian, so he spent a lot of money and wanted to go in and sneak a look at Yang Qiurong. If the other party's appearance is ordinary, it would be okay, but Yang Qiurong was really handsome, Lu Hongzhi suddenly got out of control, and according to his kind of stubborn temper, he treated Yang Qiurong as an ordinary woman. Drink...... I don't want to think about it, why did Lao Tzu sit here in a low voice and let Yang Tianhong, a hairy boy, teach him a lesson? Why did Lao Tzu endure ridicule again and again? If it weren't for your kid's disrespectful remarks to Yang Qiurong, where would things have become such an unmanageable situation?

The Yang siblings are more difficult to deal with than they imagined. They actually left the Guozijian early. In this way, Lu Baoye could not borrow the power of Guozijian to force the other party. Now, Yang Tianhong has made it clear that he does not want to fulfill the marriage contract. Although he didn't say it explicitly, his meaning was very clear -- if the Lu family wanted to marry Yang Qiurong, then the Lu family would not be able to live in peace at all. With the cultivation of this pair of sisters and brothers, it is really easy to kill a few people in the Lu family quietly, and then make their own seedlings not human, ghosts and ghosts.

Lu Baoye also has his own reliance and hole cards.

He cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "The Lu family enshrines many foundation building immortal masters. Come to think of it, it should be able to suppress the thousand-year-old turtle. As for the venomous snakes, it is even more so. ”

Yang Tianhong and Yang Qiurong looked at each other. In each other's eyes, they saw worry and anger.

The worst feared thing still happened.

Yang Tianhong sneered: "Master Lu is really tough. However, I am also quite taken care of by the immortal master in the Guiyuan Sect. My sister is also highly regarded in the Qingling Sect. If you really want to compare, the few worshippers in Master Lu's mansion are probably not enough. ”

"Really?"

Lu Baoye smiled faintly. Didn't speak, just clapped his hands. With the applause, two monks wearing different styles of Taoist robes with arrogant expressions immediately walked in from the outside and stood on Lu Baoye's left and right.

Both of them were monks on the first floor of the foundation. They clasped their hands in front of their chests, condescendingly, and looked at the Yang family brothers and sisters with disdain.

Lu Baoye felt that he had the initiative, and introduced with a smile: "The one on my left is Immortal Fang Chang. The one on the right is Hu Xianchang. There are two immortal elders who protect the Lu family, and the things you said before are not to worry about at all. ”

"Really?"

Yang Tianhong repeated Lu Baoye's previous words, raised his right hand, and pinched his crisp fingers. In a moment, a figure slowly walked out of the back hall of the hall.

An incomparably powerful momentum instantly enveloped the entire outer courtyard of the Yang Mansion.

The faces of the two foundation building monks standing beside Lu Baoye changed suddenly. The monk surnamed Fang on the left subconsciously wanted to draw his sword, but was held down by the monk surnamed Hu on the right. Pulling him hard, he respectfully saluted the visitor. Not fearlessly, he said: "Junior Hu Xuan, Fang Yuliang, see the senior grandmaster." ”

Hua Jun stood behind Yang Tianhong, releasing a powerful aura. He stared coldly at the two Tsukiji monks trembling in front of him, and it took nearly half a minute before he let out a low cry: "Get out! This is not the place for you." ”

The two foundation building monks were suddenly pardoned, and they didn't even dare to say more. Hurriedly turned around and fled from the Yang Mansion as fast as he could.

Lu Baoye was stunned on the spot.

Ordinary mortals would never understand the disparity in strength between monks. But he knew very well: Fang and Hu's cultivation was unfathomable. Even they had to be respectful in front of Hua Jun, trembling like ants, the other party must be far above the two of them in terms of strength.

He, what layer of monks is he?

Lu Baoye never thought about the word "Jindan" at all. In his opinion. The foundation monk is already a great existence. As for Jindan...... The monks at that stage are simply the gods that they must look up to.

Lu Baoye's face became very ugly. He stood up from the chair with a "brush", looked excited, and asked Yang Tianhong repeatedly: "Are you planning to bully others? I know that you are the Guiyuan Sect behind you, but you don't need to resort to such despicable means, right? Coercion and coercion, and cut off one of my son's arms." Where is the reason?"

"Heavenly Reason?"

Yang Tianhong showed a strange look on his face. Immediately, a burst of unbridled laughter erupted: "Are you embarrassed to tell me what heavenly principles? The Yang family is no longer the time when my father was still there. Our sister and brother can be said to be powerless and powerless, businessmen pursue profits, with the eyes of your Lu family, how can you look down on a powerless little person? If it weren't for coveting my sister's beauty, how could your bastard son be chased into the Guozi Prison? If you didn't want to get the pill through my sister and prolong your life, how could you, an old immortal, be willing to sit here and listen honestly to me reprimand you like a dog?"

Young people have no scruples about speaking. Yang Tianhong is not arrogant, but the anger in his heart has been difficult to quell. There are secular rules in the world, and monks are also divided into high and low according to their strength. Lu Baoye is a mortal, in order to avoid the punishment of the laws of heaven and earth, Yang Tianhong cannot kill without permission. But he has another layer of relationship, Yang Tianhong is a four-rank military general after all, and although Lu Baoye's family is rich, he is only a businessman after all.

The government has an innate advantage over the people. As long as it is not excessive, the laws of heaven and earth will naturally not lower the causal punishment. Don't say that pointing at your nose and scolding repeatedly, even if you grab your ears and slap dozens of times, it won't bring any problems.

"Do you think that as long as my sister enters your Lu family's mansion, your Lu family will have the final say on life and death? That's right, your Lu family is rich and wealthy, and you can afford to be a foundation building monk to serve as a guard. My sister's cultivation is only the seventh layer of qi refining, and the monk is a monk, and any guy who builds the foundation can firmly eat her. When the time comes, my sister will take out all the pills on her body. It is also necessary to hand over all the pills distributed by the Qingling Sect every month. In this way, as long as you master my sister, your Lu family will be able to enjoy a long life forever. Perhaps, the physique of the children of the family will be improved because of this, and if they are favored by a certain cultivation sect, they will be favored in the future. The Lu family also has a steady supply of pills. ”

This kind of thing is not made up by Yang Tianhong, or groundless conjecture.

More than 6,000 years ago, such an incident happened in the Song Dynasty. A scholar from a poor family lived near the mountain gate of the Miaoguang Sect and lived with his mother. In order to make ends meet, scholars often go up to the mountains to chop wood. The cultivation method of the Miaoguang Sect is unique, and all the disciples are women. Over time, the scholar became very familiar with some of the outer female disciples of the Miaoguang Sect. Out of pity, plus the needs of the sect itself. The outer courtyard of the Miaoguang Sect has been ordering firewood with scholars all year round, forming a stable relationship.

One day, several inner disciples of the Miaoguang Sect were meditating in the mountains when they suddenly heard someone calling for help. When I looked over, I found that the scholar had fallen between the cracks of the rocks, covered in blood, and his leg bones had been broken. The monks rescued the scholar and gave him medicine. After returning home. The scholar is grateful and cooperates with his mother. I made a lot of noodles and brought them up the mountain to thank the female monks of the Miaoguang Sect who helped me that day.

The scholar was respectful and polite, and his appearance was also very handsome. He studied hard and had to support his mother, and this kind of person was easily favored. The female monk of the Myeguang Sect couldn't refuse. I had to accept the pastry. In this way, the scholar went on to get to know more people from the Miaoguang Sect, and even had feelings for one of them.

The woman's master categorically refused to agree to the marriage between the apprentice and the scholar. In order to show his sincerity, the scholar had to bow in front of the mountain gate of Miaoguangzong every day, asking to see the woman's teacher. Scholars can also be regarded as having perseverance and perseverance. No matter the wind or rain, winter and summer, the bow in front of the mountain gate never stops. Three years later, the female teacher was finally moved and agreed to marry the scholar and the female monk under her disciple. But also put forward conditions: after the two get married, they must live near the mountain gate and must not leave. After all, this woman is still a member of the Miaoguang Sect, and she can get married and have children, but she can't affect her cultivation, let alone break the rules of the door for this.

Ten years later, the scholar proposed to go to Beijing to catch the exam, leaving his wife and mother at home. coincided with the Chinese New Year, and this woman went up the mountain to meet her master. The senior monk of the Miaoguang Sect was surprised to find that in ten years, this female cultivator had not been able to improve at all. When he got married, he was already on the second floor of the foundation, and it is still the case ten years later. Under questioning, the woman revealed the reason: the pills distributed by the sect every month were given to her husband by her. The scholar turned the pill into a pill liquid and took it, and now he has the strength of the third layer of qi refining.

This situation is very common between ordinary couples. Love each other and are willing to give the best to each other. It's just that the pill is the foundation of cultivation, and in a fit of rage, the senior monk of the Miaoguang Sect ignored the female disciple's pleading, and rushed down the mountain to the capital overnight, wanting to retrieve the pill from the scholar.

And then it turned out to be very weird.

The monks of the Miaoguang Sect visited the capital all over the capital, but they did not find any trace of the scholars. Even on the way from Xizhou to the capital, this person could not be found. It's strange that scholars seem to have completely evaporated from the world and disappeared forever.

Fifty years later, the Duanmu clan, a wealthy clan of the Song Kingdom, began to rise. The Duanmu clan controlled the commercial lifeline of the Song State, the Zheng State, and the Zhu State, and many of the children of the clan were officials in the imperial court, and the head of the family, Duanmu Cheng, served as the prime minister of the Song State. In the following year, due to the smooth wind and rain of the Song Dynasty, the monarch was happy, and ordered the construction of the Tiantai, which was responsible for the prime minister Duanmucheng, and called a large number of cattle, sheep and five animals to worship the heavens.

Such a major event of national fortune consumes a lot of resources, and it will also attract some of the aura of heaven and earth, which is of great benefit to both mortals and monks. On the day of the worship ceremony, all the cultivation sects in the Song Kingdom came to observe the ceremony. The Miaoguang Sect sent five monks, including the monk who had previously married a scholar and was still waiting for her husband's return in a hut at the foot of the mountain.

The cultivation method of the Miaoguang Sect is unique, in order to prevent its disciples from being plundered by other monks, they can use secret methods to block their own spiritual elements at critical moments. This kind of secret method is only effective for women, if you are truly in love with someone, on the day of intercourse, part of the secret power of the female monk of the Miaoguang Sect will also be transferred to the man who has made love with her, forming a spiritual power field that matches each other.

As soon as Duanmu Chenggang, the prime minister of the Song Kingdom, appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of the monks of the Miaoguang Sect. The secret method characteristics on his body can't be concealed at all, and others can't see it, but the people of the Miaoguang Sect know it very well. Shocked, the Miaoguang Sect hurriedly checked all the monks in the sect, but did not find that the disciples had contact with other men.

Afraid of the laws of heaven and earth, the Miaoguang Sect could only secretly send people to test Duanmu Cheng in many ways. Unexpectedly, it was discovered that the sudden development of the Duanmu family fifty years ago was very doubtful. Among them, many of the children of the family even possessed high-level cultivation above the fifth level of qi refining. If it is a cultivation sect, this matter can also be understood. The crux of the matter is that the members of the Duanmu family have always been mortals, and their ancestors have nothing to do with the cultivation sect. After all, he is just an ordinary businessman in the secular world.

Although he was not sure, the head of the Miaoguang Sect still brought the female monk to the capital of the Song Kingdom. At this time, the scholar's mother had long since died, and the female monk thought that her husband was no longer in the world, so she was disheartened and her cultivation progress stagnated.

The identification result was shocking, and Prime Minister Duanmu Chengcheng was the scholar. His beard and full gray hair are fake. After being forcibly torn off with violence, the face revealed is still the handsome face of the scholar fifty years ago. (To be continued.) )
