Chapter 51: The Crisis of the Prosperous Age
The woman looked at Lu Yun carefully and said with a smile: "I heard that you are from Luoyang?"
Lu Yun nodded: "Yes!"
The woman smiled and said: "Sun Moon City is not as good as Luoyang, the conditions are worse, you must know how to endure hardships here."
"By the way, what do you do for a living?"
Lu Yun was stunned, thought for a while and replied, "The kid doesn't have the means to make a living now."
The woman's eyes froze: "This is not good, how to do it without a living, how to support the family in the future, it is better to follow Jun Ran and his father to learn to strike iron, although it can't be rich and expensive, but it can also support the family in the future."
Lu Yun's face was embarrassed, what is this, it is just to build a weapon, how can it still involve livelihood issues.
He didn't know how to answer for a while, and Zhao Junran couldn't cry or laugh: "Mother!"
Dahan scolded softly: "Jun Ran is a disciple of Zhuo Immortal Master, and her friends are naturally among the immortals, they will all do great things in the future, and they will also worry about their livelihood, women and Taoists, short-sighted."
The woman shook her head: "Okay, don't talk about it!"
Zhao Junran had a long time with his parents, and Lu Yun was embarrassed and restless.
In the end, Mrs. Zhao wanted to leave the two of them for dinner, but Zhao Junran excused herself on the grounds that there was something else in the Immortal Dao Academy.
The two left the blacksmith shop, and Lu Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as he returned to his residence, he saw Wang Yusheng coming to look for him.
During the time he arrived in Sun Moon City, Wang Yusheng had always arranged for someone to take care of him, and Lu Yun was very grateful to Wang Yusheng.
He clenched his fists: "I've seen ......"
He didn't know what to call Wang Yusheng for a while, call him Senior Brother Wang, he is not from the Immortal Dao Academy.
Calling the titles of Brother Wang and Lao Wang seems too raw.
He thought that Wang Yusheng had been the dean of the Luoyang Branch, so he shouted: "Thank you Dean Wang!"
Wang Yusheng hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't shout again in the future, otherwise you will be unhappy when your teacher hears it."
"Then what should I shout?" Lu Yun was puzzled.
Wang Yusheng tidied up his clothes and said with a smile: "Just call me Wang Immortal Master."
Lu Yun was a little in a daze, he seriously suspected that Wang Yusheng had been brainwashed by Zhuo Buyan, resulting in the same temperament and hobbies as Zhuo Buyan.
He nodded: "Is Immortal Master Wang looking for something to me?"
Wang Yusheng patted his head: "I almost forgot, the family teacher wants to see you!"
Lu Yun nodded, Zhuo Buyan wanted to see him sooner or later, he didn't expect him to be so patient and want to see him for so long.
Lu Yun followed Wang Yusheng to the most luxurious building of the Immortal Dao Academy, and in front of a large room, Wang Yusheng bent down.
"Master, Lu Yun brought it."
"Let Lu Yun in!" Zhuo Buyan's voice came.
Wang Yusheng made a gesture of please, Lu Yun hugged his fists, pushed open the door and walked in.
As soon as he entered the door, Lu Yun felt that this place was different, not only was it warmer, but the aura was also stronger.
The house was very large, with four large stoves, which burned charcoal, and there was not the slightest smell of smoke.
A tea table was placed in the middle of the room, and Zhuo Buyan was sitting at the table making tea.
Lu Yun clenched his fists and bent down: "I've seen Zhuo Immortal Master!"
Zhuo Buyan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Come, have a drink first and warm up."
Lu Yun sat opposite, and Zhuo Buyan poured him a cup of brewed tea.
He picked it up and tasted it, and his eyes immediately looked at Immortal Master Zhuo.
Zhuo Buyan shook his head: "Don't make a fuss, it's cold in Sun Moon City, and you can warm up your body by drinking some wine."
Lu Yun was speechless, Zhuo Immortal Master seemed to be boiling tea, but in fact he was cooking wine, but how did this wine taste wrong, the wine tasted too light.
"This wine??" Lu Yun was puzzled.
Zhuo Buyan sighed: "I don't have much stock here, and the winter is very long, so I can only mix it with water, I hope to hold on for a few more days."
Lu Yun was dumbfounded, this is too outrageous, the legendary Zhuo Immortal Master even drank the wine mixed with water, and it is estimated that no one will believe it when it is passed out.
He thought of the wine that Zhuo Buyan had given him, and only then did he realize the preciousness of wine in Sun Moon City.
Zhuo Buyan glanced at Lu Yun: "From Luoyang to Sun Moon City, you have also seen the lives of many people, what do you think?"
Lu Yun was stunned for a moment, he never thought that Zhuo Buyan's first question would be this, he pondered for a moment.
"The people's lives are very miserable, and they seem unbearable!"
Zhuo Buyan nodded: "Different from the magnates in several big cities, the lives of the people are very hard, forming a strong contrast, I wanted to change all this, but it was too difficult, I can only build such a free city to give people hope."
"Of course, this is only one of the reasons, and the most important thing is that I want to contribute to humanity and build a free city here, which can not only achieve the purpose of helping the people, but also make a small contribution to the town."
"Guard?"
Lu Yun was puzzled, what did Zhuo Immortal Master want to guard?
Zhuo Buyan obviously didn't answer him directly, but talked about other things.
"Do you know what the revival of heaven and earth represents?"
Lu Yun thought for a moment: "Mankind is about to enter a new glorious and prosperous era."
Zhuo Buyan nodded: "What you said has some truth, but it is very one-sided."
Lu Yun was puzzled: "Is there any other meaning?"
Zhuo Buyan said heavily: "The recovery of heaven and earth is a signal, which means that this world is about to enter a great world, a prosperous world, but whether human beings are the protagonists or not is unknown."
Lu Yun was surprised: "Are you saying that this is not the prosperous age of mankind?"
Zhuo Buyan nodded and said, "Yes, human beings are just a group under the prosperous world."
"The recovery of heaven and earth represents both opportunities and crises."
"Throughout history, every time heaven and earth recover, all kinds of demons will jump out to cause chaos, and the world will fall into chaos."
"Human beings have no advantage, if they can't seize the opportunity, they can only become a stepping stone for other races, or even become blood food, as before." Zhuo Buyan said in a deep voice
"Other races?" Lu Yun was puzzled.
"I think you've already felt it." Zhuo was silent.
Lu Yun thought about it carefully, and suddenly thought of the earthquake, and his heart was shocked.
"Is Immortal Master Zhuo talking about the vibration of Sun Moon City?"
Zhuo Buyan nodded: "The reason why I chose to build Sun Moon City here is because there is a big demon in the north, and I hope to be able to guard this gateway for the human race." ”
"The earthquake is a sign of the awakening of the great demon, as the world recovers, it will become more and more obvious, and the great demon is also slowly waking up, and when it completely wakes up, it will begin to cause trouble in the world."
Big Demon? Lu Yun was even more puzzled, these things were equivalent to a fantasy for him.
Zhuo Buyan sighed: "There are some things that I can't tell you clearly, I have also read them in the ancient books left behind, and the records are only a few words, after all, after the catastrophe, there are too few records left by human beings." ”
"In addition to the big demon, there will be many other unknown things popping out, whether humans can survive it, everything is unknown."
Lu Yun was stunned, this was serious, with Zhuo Immortal Master's cultivation being so pessimistic, it can be seen that the situation is grim.
Zhuo Buyan sighed: "Judging from the current situation, the human race is still too weak and scattered, and it has not been twisted into a rope. ”
"Although each big city has its own terrible weapons, if that day comes, I don't know whether these sharp weapons will have any effect or what effect they can play."
