Chapter 85: The Original Sin of Greed
Lu Jingcun looked at Xu Yunhe meaningfully, and Xu Yunhe felt uncomfortable for a while.
"This little brother seems to be very familiar with this kind of dream technique!" Lu Jingcun retracted his gaze, but asked with a smile.
"The seniors misunderstood, I just saw that they were in a state that looked like they were asleep, so I said it casually. As for dreaming, it is unheard of. If it weren't for the advice of the seniors, the juniors wouldn't know that they had stumbled into it by mistake!" Xu Yunhe was shocked in his heart, and explained without changing his face.
The qiē about illusion was all given to Xu Yunhe by Ye Huanyan. I don't know why, although Ye Huanyan didn't forbid Xu Yunhe to mention it to others, Xu Yunhe instinctively didn't want anyone else to know about Ye Huanyan's existence. Especially the Lu Jingcun in front of him, although he seems to be kind and kind, and Duanmu Feixue is also an old acquaintance, but he is the older generation of the six families, and he is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Out of a sense of vigilance that even Xu Yunhe himself couldn't tell, Xu Yunhe chose to hide it without even thinking about it.
"I see...... Mistake...... Hehe......" Lu Jingcun lightly twisted his beard and smiled lightly, looking at Xu Yunhe's eyes, but he still did not completely give up his doubts.
"Grandpa Jingcun, how did you get here?"
"You two groups of people, the Martial Emperor who entered the secret for twelve days, but none of them came out. We old bones couldn't rest assured, so we sent a few of us in. Oh, by the way, your third uncle is also here, but we are separated at a fork outside, otherwise he may be so happy to see you!" Lu Jingcun temporarily put aside his suspicions about Xu Yunhe, turned his head and replied with a smile.
"Twelve days? How can it be! It's only been three days!" Duanmu Feixue exclaimed.
As he spoke, he also glanced at Xu Yunhe, and found that his eyes were also full of astonishment.
"Three days?" Lu Jingcun frowned, "Snow girl, are you mistaken? Twelve days is a lot, there are so many of us, can we not even count the days? Is it that you are in the dark here, and you have even counted the wrong number of days? Counting the two days we have been here, you have been here for a full fourteen days!"
"Fourteen days, how could it be?" Duanmu Feixue exclaimed.
"Senior, although we can't see the sun, we will definitely not be so different. Are you sure it's really fourteen days?" Xu Yunhe couldn't hide his horror and asked with difficulty.
"Is the old man the kind of person who deceives the juniors with his words? Fourteen days is fourteen days, do you really think I'm confused?" Lu Jingcun looked at Xu Yunhe very unhappily, as if he had been greatly insulted.
"How can this be? Are we really confused?" Xu Yunhe and Duanmu Feixue glanced at each other, both with shocked faces.
In the past few days, they have been in danger continuously, which can be described as nine deaths, but the concept of the date has not received much impact. Even if they really remember wrongly, it won't be as outrageous as ten days, right? Besides, even if their minds are confused, their stomachs will not be confused, right? They have only eaten a few snakes in the past three days, and if fourteen days have really passed, they will not have already gone hungry?
But Lu Jingcun obviously wouldn't deliberately joke about this kind of problem. He always remembered that he came from the outside better than the two of him were here.
That is to say, Lu Jingcun is right, it is indeed fourteen days that have passed.
But if 14 days have passed, how can those doubts be explained?
This place is just too weird.
Xu Yunhe looked at the dark place of the black hole, as well as the people who were sleeping soundly on the ground, and a trace of coldness gradually arose in his heart.
"Grandpa Jingcun, what should we do now? How do we wake them up?" Duanmu Feixue didn't know what Xu Yunhe was thinking, looked at Duanmu Feiyu's pale cheeks, and asked worriedly.
"Unless it's a powerful illusionist, no one else can undo the dream spell at all. Instead of being poisoned, not injured, they are now in a bizarre dream. Illusion is another realm, it has nothing to do with martial arts, and I don't have anything to do. Lu Jingcun spread his hands and shook his head.
"What should I do then?" Duanmu Feixue was a little anxious, gritted his teeth, and picked up Duanmu Feiyu, "It's really not good! I'll take the third brother out! I don't believe it, I can't find anyone who can save him after searching all over the world!"
"Emperor Wu's secret has not been found yet, how can he leave lightly?" Lu Jingcun had not yet answered, and suddenly an unfamiliar voice said.
"Who is it?" Xu Yunhe's gaze sharpened, and he turned his head to look at the place where the voice came from.
"Presumptuous!" With a domineering shout, Xu Yunhe fell out of the air like a broken sack.
"Who are you? Come out!" Duanmu Feixue couldn't rescue, with a wave of his jade hand, a sharp green light slashed into the darkness, and at the same time, the whole person had already flown over.
Xu Yunhe staggered up from the ground, only to hear a continuous and short muffled sound of "bang, bang", and it didn't take long for Duanmu Feixue to appear and fly back from the darkness, sweat on his forehead, and his eyes looked ahead vigilantly.
Xu Yunhe found that she was fine, so he was slightly relieved. turned his head to look at Lu Jingcun, but found that he was not surprised, not even the slightest worry, but still smiling, and couldn't help but feel strange.
"The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves! It's old! It's really old!" With a lonely sigh, a tall and old body walked out of the darkness.
"Old man Pei, it's really you!" Lu Jingcun looked at the old man who came out steadily, and said calmly.
"Who am I, it turns out that Lu Jingcun, you are an old immortal!" The old man seemed to know Lu Jingcun, and he didn't care about the offense in Lu Jingcun's words, turned his head to look at Xu Yunhe and Duanmu Feixue with a vigilant face, and frowned, "These two juniors, are you from the Lu family? I didn't expect that your Lu family actually hid a female martial king! In vain, the Duanmu family has always boasted, but they don't know that your Lu family has already had a martial arts genius who surpasses their Duanmu family!"
"Pei Jisong, you are very wrong! The female martial king in front of you is the little genius of the Duanmu family-Duanmu Feixue! Our Lu family's talents are withering, where is there any blessing to raise such a world-leading female martial king?" Lu Jingcun's eyes narrowed, pointed to Duanmu Feixue with a vigilant face, and said lightly.
"What? This is the little girl of the Duanmu family?" Pei Jisong looked at Duanmu Feixue with a shocked face, and then shook his head again, "Impossible, impossible! That girl from the Duanmu family is just a martial king Yipin, and this little girl in front of her is already a martial king third-grade, if it weren't for the fact that she had just ascended to the realm and was unstable, even I would not be her opponent!"
"Martial King Sanpin, Pei Lao Pifu, aren't you joking?" Lu Jingcun glanced at Duanmu Feixue with a shocked expression, and then looked at Pei Jisong suspiciously.
"Old thing, what do you think I, Pei Jisong, am I? Will I be full of lies like you? Lao Tzu's eyes haven't been flowered yet, Wuwang Sanpin, can I also be wrong about this?" Pei Jisong looked at Lu Jingcun very dissatisfied.
"Snow girl......" Lu Jingcun narrowed his eyes and looked at Duanmu Feixue.
Duanmu Feixue bit her lower lip, puffed up her chest and stepped forward, and said loudly: "That's right, I am indeed the third rank of the Martial King now!"
"Very good...... Very good...... Snow Girl...... You're hiding deep enough......" Lu Jingcun nodded and smiled, but no matter how you look at it, the smile doesn't look like a smile.
"Grandpa Jingcun, I really didn't mean to hide it from you! As soon as I woke up, I found that my realm had ascended! I don't know what's going on! I ......" Duanmu Feixue saw that Lu Jingcun's feelings were wrong, and quickly tried his best to explain.
"Very good...... Very good...... Duanmu Family...... There is someone in the future......" Lu Jingcun nodded again and again, and smiled.
"Grandpa Jingcun...... I ......" Seeing Lu Jingcun's completely unfamiliar expression, Duanmu Feixue suddenly didn't know how to explain it.
"Old Pei, do you see it? We two old bones should have been thrown into the mound a long time ago! Today's young people are too powerful! In this world, it's no longer the time for us old things to do their best!" Lu Jingcun walked up to Pei Jisong, patted him on the shoulder and sighed.
Pei Jisong nodded, and said with deep sympathy: "I think that when I was twenty-eight years old, I was promoted to the first rank of the Martial King, and I have been stuck in this realm. It took seventeen years to successfully upgrade to a grade at the age of forty-five, and I felt that it was already good. I didn't expect a little girl to easily raise two grades in an instant, so let, old guys, how can we still have the face to come out and mix? These juniors, it's really amazing!"
Talking and talking, the two of them sighed for a long time, and the two people who were sneering just now have become brothers and sisters, which is too good.
"Let's go, let's go!" After sighing for a while, Lu Jingcun patted Pei Jisong on the shoulder, and the two of them walked outside one after the other.
"Grandpa Jingcun, where are you going?" Duanmu Feixue asked in the back when he saw that the two of them were about to leave without saying anything.
"With you young people here, where is there still a place for us old fellows to point fingers? If you don't go back and find a place to eat and wait for death, will you still stay here and get in the way?" Lu Jingcun said dejectedly, as if he was ten years old.
"Grandpa Jingcun, don't say that, I actually ......" Duanmu Feixue didn't expect that he would give these two old men such a big blow as soon as he told the truth, and he was in a hurry, and trotted over, wanting to stop the two and explain to them.
Seeing Duanmu Feixue hurriedly running over, Pei Jisong and Lu Jingcun, who were depressed, suddenly glanced at each other tacitly.
"Bang!", "Click!"
The wind was surging, there was a chaotic sound, Lu Jingcun and Pei Jisong took three steps back in unison, and the two of them had a sword and a sword in their hands, and even their weapons were shown.
"Good boy...... I forgot about you......" Lu Jingcun narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Yunhe, who was flushed in front of Duanmu Feixue.
Xu Yunhe gasped slightly, and looked at Lu Jingcun coldly: "I forgot too...... Senior Lu...... He's still a master of the sword!"
"Why?" Duanmu Feixue asked with a cold face, his eyes coldly looking at Lu Jingcun, who was also cold, opposite.
"Why? haha...... Don't you really know the reason?" Lu Jingcun laughed, the short knife in his hand shook, and the reflection was very dazzling.
"Why?" Duanmu Feixue repeated stubbornly.
Lu Jingcun sneered and did not answer.
"Because they are all old, they are jealous of our youth! jealous of your martial arts talent!" Xu Yunhe replied loudly.
"Is that so?" Duanmu Feixue's eyes were cold, and his voice was even colder.
Lu Jingcun was still sneering, neither admitting nor denying it.
"It turned out that this was really the case, but I didn't expect it...... You...... It's such a narrow-minded person...... ...... me in vain" Duanmu Feixue nodded, the frost thawed, and his gaze turned sad.
"Don't talk nonsense! Quickly hand over the treasure of the Martial Emperor you found!" Pei Jisong was not embarrassed or embarrassed at all, and shouted loudly at Duanmu Feixue.
"What Martial Emperor treasure, we haven't entered it yet!" Duanmu Feixue looked at Pei Jisong in confusion.
"Don't pretend to be confused with me! Do you think we two old guys are really confused?" Pei Jisong sneered.
"Snow girl......" Lu Jingcun on the side said suddenly.
Duanmu Feixue turned his head and did not answer, but the expression in his eyes was very complicated.
"Snow girl, do you know, when did I practice to the first grade of the Martial King?" Lu Jingcun suddenly asked an irrelevant question.
Duanmu Feixue thought for a moment and hesitated for a moment before replying, "Fifty-three years old." ”
"That's right, you remember very well, it was at the age of fifty-three that I barely crossed the hurdle of the Martial Sect and was promoted to the first rank of the Martial King. For decades, I've been stuck in that realm, and I've never been able to make any progress. Over the years, I've actually resigned myself to my fate. There are so many people in this world, and how many of them can become Martial Kings? I can now be promoted to the first rank of Martial King, in fact, it is already very good, much stronger than most people in this world, just like this for a lifetime, it is actually not bad......" Lu Jingcun said babblingly, Duanmu Feixue and Pei Jisong did not interrupt him.
Although I comforted myself so much, I actually knew that I was still unwilling. Which of the martial artists in this world doesn't want to be able to reach a higher realm? I became a martial king at the age of fifty-three, and then I stood still for more than 20 years, do you think my heart is really willing? But if I am unwilling, what can I do?
"Originally, this time, I actually didn't have much hope for the Martial Emperor Secret Treasure this time. A person who has been dead for hundreds of years, even if he leaves behind any martial arts secrets, so what? There are so many exercises in this world, but how many of them can become Martial Emperors? No matter how magical the exercises are, they can't go beyond the current category of dirty blood, and it is absolutely impossible to create a Martial Emperor in life. Otherwise, then the Martial Emperor would not be the Martial Emperor, but the Martial God......"
"Do you think that I have been promoted by two grades, and it is the Martial Emperor Secret Treasure here that has played a role?" Duanmu Feixue said coldly.
"Why, until now, do you still want to deny it?" Lu Jingcun sneered and said to Pei Jisong, "Old Pei, you sue her, how long did it take you to be promoted from the first rank of the Martial King to the third grade?"
"Forty-seven years, eight months and three days!" Pei Jisong shouted, the long sword in his hand trembling slightly.
"Lao Pei's talent is better than mine, he was promoted to the first rank of the Martial King early, but it took more than forty years to win two grades. And then, just like me, I stood still. More than 40 years of hard work, you can surpass it in a few days. Do you think that apart from the reason for this Martial Emperor's Secret Treasure, what else will allow you to accomplish this impossible miracle? Your talent, your hard work, or your character?" Lu Jingcun asked coldly.
"Believe it or not, we've never found any Martial Emperor Secrets!" Duanmu Feixue said coldly.
"Hmph! I don't cry when I don't see the coffin! Originally, in the relationship between the two families, I don't want to embarrass you. Now it seems that we two old guys are not merciless!" Lu Jingcun snorted coldly, and the short knife in his hand was slowly raised.
"Do you two really think that you have already eaten us?" Xu Yunhe, who had been ignored, suddenly asked.
"Boy, do you really think that if you can catch me with one and a half moves, you can compete with me?" Pei Jisong glanced at Xu Yunhe with slanted eyes, his face full of disdain, "A little martial artist, not even a martial artist, dares to be presumptuous in front of me?
"I know, you are all martial kings, and a little ant like me is not necessary to be taken into your eyes at all......" Xu Yunhe nodded and smiled self-deprecatingly.
Duanmu Feixue suddenly reached out from the side, gently grabbed Xu Yunhe's arm, and shook it comfortingly.
"You mean that phoenix?" Lu Jingcun pointed to the phoenix in the shape of a little hen, shook his head and sneered, "Then you can only be blamed for your clumsiness! But this phoenix is a juvenile, a little beast, what's so great? Look at it now, see if it can still be tossed?"
Xu Yunhe looked back and found that the phoenix was like a drunk drunk, constantly spinning around on the ground, but it couldn't stop.
"Fire Kite!" Duanmu Feixue exclaimed in heartache, rushed over and hugged the phoenix in his arms, and nervously looked up and down.
"Don't worry, it's just a little beast returning to the forest, and in two hours, it will be fine. After all, it is a divine beast, how can it be so fragile?" Lu Jingcun said with a false feeling.
The little phoenix understood Lu Jingcun's words, and glared at him angrily, but it didn't last long before it had to shake its head.
"Okay, right? If Xue Ya can stabilize the realm every ten days and half a month, we two old bones don't dare to beat your idea. But now, I can only say that your life is not good! Hurry up, hand over what you have found, for the sake of the relationship between you and me, I can disturb the lives of the two of you!" Lu Jingcun said impatiently with an undisguised look of greed in his eyes.
