Chapter 11: The Uninvited Guest
Chapter 11: The Uninvited Guest
The Foundry Pavilion is located in a large active volcanic crater surrounded by very high temperatures. In addition to the main peak, there are many ores with strange fire attributes in the surrounding mountains, as well as some cherished medicinal materials that like high temperatures, and the heaven and earth aura of the Casting Pavilion is second only to the peak where the Alchemy Pavilion is located, and it is much richer than other peaks. Because whether it is alchemy or refining, strong aura is the first prerequisite.
As soon as Lu Jiahe left the wing, there was a scorching breath in the air, if in the past, Lu Jiahe would definitely feel uncomfortable, but now he feels like a fish in water. He ran the 'Flame Duel' to frantically absorb the fire attribute spiritual power in the air, and he was completely oblivious. Shi Jian, who was walking in front of him, saw that he suddenly stopped and did not say a word, and stood quietly aside, carefully looking at Lu Jiahe.
After a stick of incense, Lu Jiahe slowly opened his eyes, his hands quickly sealed, and after a while, a fist-sized flame appeared in the palm of his right hand. Then he clenched his right hand into a fist, the flame was extinguished, and a smile appeared on his face, although the flame was still small, it was already much bigger than when he was in the Scripture Pavilion, which was enough to make him happy. However, when he found Shi Jian staring at him, Lu Jiahe's face flushed, and he slowly lowered his head, thinking that he was actually selling flames in front of the Nine Spirit Vein Fire Spirit Root, isn't this looking for humiliation.
Shi Jian seemed to see his careful thoughts, and said with a serious face, "Senior Brother Lu, our cultivator's cultivation is originally against the sky, and our qualifications are innate, and we are powerless to change them, but if his heart is not firm enough, even if his qualifications are against the sky, his cultivation path will not be long." The qualifications of the junior brother are indeed not good, but if you become cringed because of this, then you are not worthy of being Lu Zhanbo's son. ”
When Lu Jiahe heard this, his face was even hotter, his eyes were filled with tears, and scenes from the past came to his eyes again.
Lu Jiahe was born in a big family in the Dongyue Realm of Tianwu Continent, just after birth, his mother died of serious injuries, his father Lu Zhanbo still doted on the young Lu Jiahe, as the head of the Lu family, many family mundane affairs, but he still took a lot of time out of his busy schedule to accompany Lu Jiahe, and the supply of various precious elixirs has never been cut off.
However, when Lu Jiahe was three years old, Lu Zhanbo married the eldest daughter of another big family, the Bai family, at the request of the family elders, and gave birth to a baby the following year, named Lu Jiamu. In order to facilitate the care of Lu Jiahe, Lu Zhanbo sent Lu Jiahe to Bai's to take care of and cultivate on his behalf.
At first, the Bai family's care for the Lu family was also remarkable, but when the Lu family was six years old, his father Lu Zhanbo disappeared unexpectedly, and later his second uncle Lu Zhanting brought back the patriarch token that Lu Zhanbo had died, and the Lu family was taken over by the Lu family and the second uncle Lu Zhanting. And Lu Zhanting not only took over the Lu family, but also took over his Erniang Bai family.
In the next few years, Lu Zhanting and the Bai family did not like the Lu family and Baiwei, and the Lu family seemed to have sand in their eyes and a thorn in their mouth, and they couldn't wait to get rid of it quickly. Because of the family elders, the two of them didn't dare to do it too explicitly, they just deducted Lu Jiahe's cultivation resources, or beat Lu Jiahe at every turn in the name of educating children, and let Lu Jiahe devour some unknown spirit grass. During this time, Lu Jiahe's cultivation did not improve, but showed signs of regression.
When Lu Jiahe was twelve years old, his second mother, the Bai family, sent him to Liuyun Sect as an outer disciple. It stands to reason that the Lu family was born in a big family, and even if they can't be fully cultivated in the Liuyun Sect, there should be no shortage of cultivation resources, but this is not the case, the Lu family and the Liuyun Sect did not get a trace of resources from the sect or the family after they arrived in the Liuyun Sect.
He relied on completing some chores of the sect to earn some spirit stones and slowly cultivate. Lu Jiahe soon understood that all of this was given by his stepmother Bai and an elder surnamed Bai of the sect, so he had the idea of fighting in the land of the corpse of the ages, and putting it to death and rebirth was also his only way out at that time.
In the past ten years since Lu Zhanbo's accidental death, Lu Jiahe has been cowering and swallowing his anger, and in the past ten years, no one has mentioned the word 'Lu Zhanbo' in front of him. Today, Shi Jian was so bald, and the pain and grievances he had suffered in the past ten years came directly to his heart, and tears came out of his eyes.
His hands were clenched tightly, at this moment, he secretly decided that he would never be able to live like this in the future, he wanted to live like a human being, and for Lu Zhanbo's inexplicable disappearance, as a son of man, it was necessary for him to find out.
Lu Jiahe quickly wiped away his tears, and saluted Shi Jian with a resolute face, "Thank you Senior Brother Shi for your order, I will work hard in the future, and I will not dishonor my father's prestige." ”
Shi Jian looked at Lu Jiahe, who had a resolute face, and also showed a relieved smile, didn't say anything, took Lu Jiahe's hand and walked straight towards the main peak. After galloping for more than ten miles, we came to a large courtyard covering an area of more than ten miles at the top of the peak. This is the annex of the Foundry Pavilion, a place dedicated to some daily affairs. From time to time, you can see the disciples of the Foundry Pavilion coming in and out.
Shi Jian and Lu Jiahe slowed down and walked towards the inner courtyard, they are not powerful cultivators calling for wind and rain now, they are just inner disciples who have just advanced, of course they don't dare to make a mistake here, so no matter what they think in their hearts, they must remain humble.
Many of the Foundry Pavilion disciples who came and went seemed to know Lu Jiahe, and kept pointing at him, but the words were nothing more than two words around the word 'waste'.
Shi Jian just wanted to get angry, but was stopped by Lu Jiahe, "Senior brother's heart, brother's heart understands, but I have been hearing these two words for ten years, and I have long had immunity, and I won't really go to my heart." Senior Brother is also a new disciple, and he will have to cultivate and live in the Foundry Pavilion in the future, so he can't provoke them for such a trivial matter. ”
"But"
Lu Jiahe shook his head with a smile, Shi Jian sighed helplessly, and finally led Lu Jiahe to the inner courtyard. Soon the two of them walked into the inner courtyard, and many disciples of the inner door of the Casting Pavilion gathered near the door of the living room in the inner courtyard, they were discussing something face to face, and when they saw Shi Jian and Lu Jiahe coming in, the expression on their faces became even more exciting.
Shi Jian ignored them, and walked directly to the door of the living room and said loudly, "Master Qi, Senior Brother Lu has woken up and is waiting for an audience at the door. ”
Fan Jianqiang in the hall frowned slightly, and said in a loud voice, "Bring him in." ”
Shi Jian waved his hand to Lu Jiahe, and then led him to the hall, and when he walked into the door of the living room, they found that in addition to Fan Jianqiang, the other Jindan elders in the hall were also there. In addition, there were a few people wearing the costumes of the inner disciples of Wanghai Peak, and more than a dozen people wearing the costumes of other sects were also in the living room.
After Lu Jiahe and Shi Jian stepped forward to salute Fan Jianqiang and the elders, they stood directly aside, and before Fan Jianqiang could ask, a handsome descendant who was about twelve or thirteen years old dressed in the clothes of the inner disciple of the Snow Mountain Sect walked out of the crowd, and looked at Lu Jiahe for a while, "Brother Jiahe?"
Lu Jiahe hugged his fist at the visitor, "I am Lu Jiahe, dare to ask Daoyou"
"You don't know me?" Handsome Housheng interrupted him with a stunned expression.
Lu Jiahe looked at the young descendant, and tried to search for the memories in his mind, "Are you Jiamu?"
Lu Jiamu pursed his lips, "You still know me, if it weren't for my mother's notice, I would have thought you had evaporated from the world."
"Brother Fool has had a hard time in recent years, and his cultivation has stagnated, and he has no time to go back to visit his family, so that his family is worried, everything is the fault of Brother Fool" Although Lu Jiahe is quite disgusted with Lu Zhanting Bai's family, he still has some love for this half-brother, after all, he also took care of his younger brother for a few years when he was a child, and he has some feelings.
"Qing Bitter, why don't you go home to find your mother if you have difficulties, is it really as your mother said, you gave up on our Lu family" Lu Jiamu has been clothed and fed since he was a child, and after worshipping the Snow Mountain Sect, he was favored by the sect because of his excellent qualifications, although he had cultivated to the third level of cultivation in the pneumatic realm, he was still very ignorant of some people's sophistication.
"Jiamu, it is time for the two brothers of your family to catch up with the past, let us deal with the important matters of the Lu Xia family first" A sturdy young man with the highest cultivation in the crowd walked out and interrupted Lu Jiamu's question, he came straight to Lu Jiahe and directly performed the 'Qi Observation Technique'. The 'Qi Observation Technique' Yellow Rank Advanced Auxiliary Technique can easily detect the cultivation realm of the person being investigated, and it is more accurate for senior monks to check on low-level monks.
After the sturdy young man finished checking the Lu family and Xiuwei, he said to a veiled girl in the crowd, "Quenching the body realm fivefold, he has been in the Liuyun Sect for three or four years, and he only stays in the fivefold realm of the quenching realm, waste is waste." Sister, what do you have to be nostalgic for such a waste".
This person is the eldest son of the current head of the Xia family, Xia Ruhai.
"Uncle Lu has been one of the people Rushuang respects the most since he was a child, his heirs keep Uncle Lu's blood no matter what, I don't believe it will be so unbearable, her safe return from the land of eternal corpses is definitely the best proof. What's more, our two families have always been good friends, and I don't want to destroy the relationship between the two families for this reason" The girl called Rushuang walked to the shore of Xia Ruhai, and her transparent eyes kept looking at Lu Jiahe, as if she wanted to see through Lu Jiahe.
Xia Ruhai let out a sneer, and glanced at the Lu family with contempt in his eyes, "Rushuang, don't be stupid, this is what the heads of the Xia and Lu families mean." ”
"Among the new disciples of the entire Snow Mountain Sect, you are the only disciple of the Nine Spirit Vein Ice Spirit Root, who has only been cultivating for a few years, and at the age of fourteen, you are already a cultivator of the Eighth Rank of the Pneumatic Realm, and my elder brother has cultivated in the family with an almost extravagant cultivation method for a full eight years before he reached the Eighth Rank of the Pneumatic Realm. ”
"You see, this waste is still only staying in the Quenching Body Realm Fivefold Cultivation. I heard Senior Brother Bai say that he is still a spiritual vein with multiple attributes. It is impossible for him to break through to the pneumatic realm in his life, and when you are still like a girl, he will be dying of old age, can you accept such a result? Before leaving, Uncle Lu Zhanting gave me an edict, saying that you should marry the Lu family and indeed wronged you, and the Lu family will never dry up this marriage. The father and mother also made it clear that they must withdraw from this marriage."
Before Xia Rushuang could react, Lu Jiamu roared like thunder, "Fart, I don't believe that our Lu family will make such a disgraceful concession."
The Lu family guards on the side didn't dare to look directly at Lu Jiahe, but just desperately pulled the angry Lu Jiamu. As the escort of the Lu family, what happened to the Lu family, they were sympathetic, but also helpless.
Lu Jiamu originally went back to the Lu family to visit the Bai family, and happened to meet the Xia family brothers and sisters to the Lu family as guests, and heard them say that they were going to Liuyun Sect, he was worried about his brother, and after soft grinding and hard bubbles, the Bai family agreed to come with him, and he didn't know anything about the purpose of the Xia family brothers and sisters' trip.
"Jiamu, don't mess around, this is indeed what my aunt and uncle meant" The young man standing next to Lu Jiamu, wearing the clothes of the inner disciple of Wanghai Peak, was silent, looking at Lu Jiamu who was almost rampant, his brows furrowed slightly, and he stopped talking. The young man's fair skin revealed a kind of yellow that was extremely inappropriate for his age, and the wine was excessively yellow. This person is Bai Zhennan, the grandson of Bai Zhengjing of Wanghaifeng.
"Fart, brother, don't listen to their nonsense, your mother will never do this to you" Lu Jiamu's eyes were full of tears, and his cousin also admitted what the Xia family said, he suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, he couldn't believe that his mother would really treat his half-brother like this.
"Enough, Jiamu" Lu Jiahe walked to Lu Jiamu's side, gently stroked his hair, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his practice clothes, and then said to the Lu family behind him, "Go back and tell the head of the family and the wife of the family, saying that I agree to revoke this marriage." At the same time, I am also willing to break away from the Lu family, there is no more Lu family and this person in the world, I now change my name to Zhuge Wuming, I hope that the head of the family can open up the net, and stop paying attention to an outsider like me who has a waste spiritual root. ”
"Brother" Lu Jiamu did not give up, and wanted to persuade him.
"That's enough, Senior Brother Lu Jiamu, you must cultivate seriously in the future and be filial to your mother" After saying that, he ignored the Xia family brothers and sisters and related guards and stepped aside.
Xia Rushuang, who was standing on the side, suddenly trembled, and a very rough pant could be heard through the veil, "This marriage doesn't seem to be something that you Lu Jiahe can give up if you say give up, I haven't decided to cancel it yet, why did you decide unilaterally, I really doubt that you are bleeding Uncle Lu's blood, why is there no blood at all" After speaking, he may have been too angry, and directly lifted the white veil, revealing a shocking face.
Except for Fan Jianqiang and a few older elders present, they were all deeply attracted by her beauty. Bai Zhennan was even more unbearable, his eyes were dull, and his saliva had the urge to gush out. Even Shi Jian, who was relatively determined, was also thrilled after seeing Xia Rushuang's appearance.
Lu Jiahe glanced at Xia Rushuang and showed a slight sneer, "It was your Xia family who proposed to dissolve the marriage, and the head of the Lu family also agreed, as for how you and I decide, what can we control." ”
"As your brother said, the gap between us is not a star and a half, rather than regretting it when it comes to life, old age and death, it is better to break off this bad relationship early, which is a good choice for you and me. Also, thank you for the remembrance of my late father, I think many Lu family members have forgotten the appearance of their deceased father. ”
The guards of the Lu family blushed for a while, eager to find a crack in the ground to get into, they did have a vague impression of the deceased previous family master.
For Lu Jiahe's final choice, some people present regretted it, but more people thought that Lu Jiahe was a wreck, and in the face of such a shocking woman, he didn't dare to let go, and he was not a man at all. As a party, Lu Jiahe showed his attitude after showing his attitude, but his face was flat, as if it was none of his business, in fact, his heart was turbulent, although Xia Rushuang, one of the parties, did not agree to dissolve the marriage contract on the surface, but it was also a great shame for a man to be forced to agree to dissolve the marriage contract in front of so many people.
Xia Rushuang looked at Lu Jiahe's flat face, and became angry in her heart, turned to Fan Jianqiang and saluted, "Uncle Fan, you are Uncle Lu's old friend, you just ignore this matter?"
Fan Jianqiang, who had been silent, looked at Lu Jiahe, and after receiving an affirmative answer, he sighed helplessly, "This matter is the family matter of the Lu Xia family, Fan is inconvenient for someone to intervene, since Jiahe has already given you an answer, you should leave quickly, you will not be welcome in the Liuyun Sect Casting Pavilion from now on." ”
When Bai Zhennan heard this, his face became ugly, "Uncle Fan, it's rude for you to treat the distinguished guests of the sect like this." ”
Xia Ruyan's elder brother and the disciples of the Snow Mountain Sect were also indignant, but Xia Rushuang was stunned.
"Distinguished guests, they are your distinguished guests of Wanghai Peak, not our casting pavilion. And what are you kid, you dare to shout in front of us, if you dare to step into the Casting Pavilion for half a step in the future, I will abolish you for Bai Zhengjing, get out!" Fan Jianqiang said, and released a strong spiritual force to throw everyone in the Xia family and Wanghaifeng out of the living room, except for Lu Jiamu and Xia Rushuang who were barely standing, everyone else fell to the ground.
Xia Rushuang, who was standing outside the door, was confused for a while, as a woman from a big family, most of them would fall victim to family marriages, it seemed that this kind of worthless marriage, the family would choose to give up, but they would definitely choose another marriage for her children of a big family. And it is even more impossible for her to break away from the Xia family for the sake of the Lu family, in addition to family affection, she also has a large number of cultivation resources. She put on the veil again, and flew towards the mountain gate of Liuyun Sect without looking back. At this moment, her heart is surging, and she is determined to get ahead, at least to be able to control her own destiny, rather than being swayed by others.
"Well," Xia Ruhai just wanted to vent, but when he saw his sister leaving, he had to take the spirit boat with an angry face and take it to the Snow Mountain to send everyone to follow quickly.
Bai Zhennan set up Lu Jiamu and quickly headed towards Wanghai Peak, he was really afraid, just now from Fan Jianqiang's tone, he smelled a murderous aura, if he continued to stay in the Casting Pavilion, he might really lose his life, but he secretly recorded this account on Lu Jiahe in his heart.
