Chapter Twenty-Nine: Ping'an Town
Ping'an Town is located in the west of Zhaoming Kingdom, with Qingqiu River in front and Mushe Mountain in the back.
Since arriving in Ping'an Town, Liu Lu has been like a young grandmother and eldest lady in the boudoir, which can be said to be a door that does not go out of the door.
Of course, with the conditions of the dilapidated small courtyard he rented, there was no double door!
For a month, Liu Lu basically didn't go out much unless necessary, staying in the small courtyard he rented all day and night, practicing the Xuanyin Thirteen Swords and Water Wind Walking Steps in the courtyard during the day, and spending a lot of time meditating and practicing Gong Xingqi at night, preparing to take care of the new and old injuries on his body in recent times.
As for why he can still have food to eat every day in the house and not starve to death, it is thanks to the generosity of Wang Fengye, the eldest son.
On the same day, in the bag that Liu Lu picked up after killing Wang Fengye, in addition to a white jade plate, there were also a lot of gold leaves in it.
It is also by relying on these Wang Fengye's belongings that Liu Lu can live leisurely in Ping'an Town for so long.
Evening time is the most relaxing time for Liu Lu, after dinner, the afterglow of the sun is gone, Liu Lu will spend most of the hour walking on the quiet Qingqiu River.
This evening, Liu Lu, as usual, walked under the rows of weeping willows by the Qingqiu River.
In a month's time, the injuries on his body were basically healed, except for the place where the "medicinal mud" was wrapped in his left arm, I don't know what the situation is for the time being.
Afraid that the medicine would fail if he opened it halfway, and his slim hope would fall short, Liu Lu didn't dare to easily open it to see the situation inside during this period, because it was not yet seven hundred and forty-nine days.
As for the feeling from the time of taking the medicine to this period of time, to be honest, except for the cold sticky at the beginning, to the hard bang that dried up a few days later, the other feelings were not at all, and Liu Lu could be said to have never felt any pain, itching, etc., so he inevitably had some drumming in his heart during this time, but for the faint hope of "better than nothing", he still persevered.
Liu Lu, who was walking by the river, put his mind on his arm again, and touched the hard mud shell that was still tenaciously wrapped on it, the outer layer of bark had long been dry and cracked, plus the unintentional friction in his life during this time, the bark had fallen off, and only the hard "medicinal mud" shell that was stubbornly left on his arm was stubbornly left.
As he walked, Liu Lu suddenly felt a chord in his heart and decided to knock on the mud shell to take a look.
"It's been forty days, and it's not too many days, right?!" I'm still a little unsure.
Liu Lu looked left and right, and didn't dare to knock the stone directly, so he shook his hand, snapped on the ground, and touched the willow trunk, and the mud shell was shattered!
"It's fucking amazing, isn't it?" Liu Lu was amazed.
Erase the mud, the mutilation on the arm, it has indeed grown.
Liu Lu pinched it with his hand in disbelief, except for the skin that looked a little pale, he couldn't see anything abnormal at all, and after waving his hand and trying it, everything was normal.
"It's really back to normal!"
Although he has never understood what is strange about the earthwork, but it does not prevent him from healing his injuries, Liu Lu in addition to sighing that it is magical, but he is not chasing and digging deeper, and he is looking for troubles to continue to entangle the reason for such a miracle.
So far, the injuries on the body, whether old or new, have healed, and the diligent practice in martial arts in this month has also improved the strength slightly, and Liu Lu can't continue to stay in Ping'an Town and wait for death after a good year.
During the period of recuperating at home, Liu Lu also had a preliminary plan for his future life, and after leaving Ping'an Town, he would go to Tassel City first, naturally not for the Iron Sword Gate to get along with the Tiger Dart Bureau, nor to find Xiang Shang.
Liu Lu had already thought about it, no matter whether he could meet Xiang Shang in the future, he would not go back to the Iron Sword Gate, which had already existed in name only, without Master Hu Wei, the Iron Sword Gate was not too deep in his feelings, he was unwilling to follow Xiang Shang, and in the second half of his life, he would live in order to destroy the Weihu Dart Bureau and revitalize the Iron Sword Gate, and he would not continue to be entangled in the grudge between Xiang Shang and the Weihu Dart Bureau.
His hatred for the Tiger Dart Bureau is mainly on Wang Fengye, the culprit who indirectly killed Master Hu Wei, and now that he has stabbed Wang Fengye, he does not have so much hatred for the other people in the Tiger Dart Bureau, and he is not interested in destroying the Tiger Dart Bureau at all.
As for finding revenge on the Blue Wolf Gang and the White Dragon Gang, Liu Lu was not stupid enough to send him to death directly, and he could only hope that he might have a chance after his strength became stronger, anyway, those two enemies were not what he could plot now.
And the purpose of his return to Tassel City was just to go to Hu Wei's courtyard and take a few things that he couldn't throw away, and after that, he would go to Star City.
As for what to do in Star City, he hasn't thought about it yet, in his opinion, Star City, as the capital, is prosperous and prosperous, gathering all kinds of characters from the three religions and nine streams, whether it is to avoid the troubles caused by killing Wang Fengye, or thinking about whether he can make some money and find something to make a living, it should be much more convenient. As for the plan to start a family in the future, Liu Lu occasionally has a longing for this, but he has no specific ideas yet, he can only look forward to his good luck and opportunities in this regard.
Ping'an Town is behind the back, more than ten miles away, is a place called Mushe Mountain, it is said that there were more big trees in the past, it was the place where the imperial court built the palace to take wood, but it was seriously cut down over the years, so that now the wood of the beam is basically not found, so the area where logging is prohibited by the government in the early years is now useless, and there is no one to take care of it.
During Liu Lu's time in Ping'an Town, he happened to hear once that there were gold-topped immortal traces on the Chaotian Peak towering in Mushe Mountain, which was a place where immortals lived in ancient times, and there are still immortals living in it.
If it had been placed in the past, Liu Lu would have regarded the immortal as a myth and legend like many ordinary people, but now it is different, Liu Lu knows that there is a group of immortal cultivators in this world who pursue transcendent mortal power and prove the way of immortality.
Knowing the reason for all this, it was that after the Qianyu Villa and his party that day, on the night they arrived in Star City, Hu Wei told Liu Lu.
At that time, Hu Wei said a lot, from his early years when he accidentally learned the way of cultivating immortals, to being obsessed with the pursuit of single-mindedness, and then to the gloomy end after he finally got a chance after pursuing for many years and finally got a chance to cultivate immortals.
That night, Hu Wei's original intention was to take Liu Lu to see the famous black market in Star City, but Liu Lu learned a lot of secret things that he didn't know before and had not been exposed to.
Another point is that it was also on that night that Liu Lu knew that the mysterious Mr. Qi of Qianyu Villa might be the person who cultivated immortals, and Mr. Qi presided over the strange test that everyone asked to do, according to Hu Wei's speculation, it was to test whether everyone had the qualifications to cultivate immortals.
When he killed Wang Fengye before, Liu Lu got a bag from Wang Fengye, which contained a square white jade plate the size of half a palm, and the jade quality of the jade plate could be seen to be of superior quality in Liu Lu's eyes, but the focus was not on the jade itself, but on the characters and lines carved on it, and the extraordinary meaning it really represented.
The jade plate is engraved with the word "Liuyun" in the center of the front, and there is a circle of cloud patterns around the two words, and on the back of the jade plate, it is a majestic mountain statue etched by the Yin carving.
From the moment Liu Lu saw the jade plaque, he had already verified that what Hu Wei said to him was right.
For the qualification test of Qianyu Villa, he failed to pass, showing that he did not have the qualification to cultivate immortals, and there were regrets for Liu Lu, but he was not depressed because of this matter, because in his heart, he had more unsatisfactory things, and one more thing would not have much impact on him, and it was nothing to admit that he was ordinary, let alone complain about life and death.
At the moment, Liu Lu cares about the immortal deeds of the legend of Chaotian Peak in Namushe Mountain, and he doesn't know what kind of mentality it is, maybe this mystery itself is enough to attract people, or maybe the powerful power and the extravagant hope for immortality in life unconsciously drive him, or the unyielding will that anyone will give birth to the arrangement of that dark fate affects him.
In short, what you want to do, where you want to go, there are many reasons, or you can not!
Anyway, Liu Lu is just going to Mushe Mountain and will set off tomorrow.
At this time, the night by the Qingqiu River became darker, and the autumn wind blowing from the river was already cool, as in the past, after walking to the predetermined location, Liu Lu turned back, and the injury on his arm recovered as before, so that Liu Lu was still feeling the power of the earthwork on the way back, and he was thinking about whether it would have an effect when he used the earthwork to treat the injury in the future, and also thought about whether he had to find a chance to give it a try......
