Lu Zhu led Xu Huaigu to the main gate of the Water God Palace, and Xu Huaigu looked around curiously. Unlike the secular palace of the dynasty, the main entrance of the Water God Palace was open and there were no guards, and anyone could enter and exit at will.

But come to think of it, the secular dynasty set up guards to prevent uninvited guests from breaking in, but in this Luhua River, there is obviously no such hidden danger.

Most people in the world don't know that there is such a palace under the river, where will they bother?

Of course, there must be people who know, but those who know are even more afraid to offend. After all, this is the river of green beads, what monk would not have the eyesight to provoke a water god of the Ten Realms?

When the two entered the palace, they walked up the stairs to the heights. On the way, I couldn't help but meet many water gods who were busy with government affairs, but to Xu Huaigu's surprise, they saw the green beads but they didn't seem to see them, they would only slow down a little when they passed by, and then continue to be busy, far from the cumbersome etiquette in the secular dynasty.

Xu Huaigu asked her, "It's really interesting, they don't bow when they see you?" Lu Zhu raised his eyebrows, tilted his head and smiled: "What are you doing with the salute?" Our water god doesn't like the one in the secular dynasty. Those emperors thought that they did not live long enough to rule for a few more years, so they had to exercise this power more during his reign, so that there were many etiquettes and transgressions. If they had lived for hundreds of years, like me, would they still like to sit on that dragon chair? Xu Huaigu asked rhetorically: "Then speaking of which, you don't like to be the water god of the Luhua River?" ”

"It's not that I don't like it, I can only say that I don't like it that much." Green beads frowned,

"To be a water god is noble, but it is not free. Monks like you can go wherever you want, and it is common for us to travel from one continent to another, but for us it is unthinkable. ”

"If you are a water god, you can only be in your own river forever, and this is especially true when you are a mountain god. Moreover, heaven and earth also give us another constraint, to be a landscape god is to be responsible for the land under our jurisdiction. The wind and rain should be smooth, but it should not be too good, and it is appropriate to give warnings for some disaster years. But I can't go too far, just like what the fake water god did a few days ago, it hurt the heavens and reason, and it also implicated me, and I was almost descended by Lord Black Hitomi. Lu Zhu smiled sweetly at Xu Huaigu again, and said, "Speaking of which, I still want to thank Xu Gongzi again." Xu Huaigu hurriedly said that she was too polite.

When he happened to talk about the word freedom, he said: "Once upon a time, I heard a senior talk about freedom, and she said that as long as you live in this world, no matter how high or low your cultivation level is, and your status is noble, there is no such thing as freedom, and you are just like a bird in a cage." It's just that some people live in gold wire cages and some people live in bamboo and straw cages, and the difference is not big. Lu Zhu nodded in agreement: "What this senior said is reasonable. ”

She also said that only by cutting off this day and soaring into an immortal can there be real freedom at all. It's just, it's just that I think ......" Xu Huaigu frowned and didn't continue.

Lu Zhu saw what he was thinking, smiled slightly, and said, "I think too." Flying into an immortal is not necessarily free, and there will naturally be other immortals to take care of you at that time. Xu Huaigu frowned and said: "Actually, I have always had an aversion to the so-called ascension to immortals, and it is not all because of freedom, but if you want to ascend to immortals, you have to cut off the dust, and you can no longer contact your former confidants and friends, I don't think I can do it." Lu Zhu looked a little lonely and said, "That's because you haven't lived long enough." When your realm is higher, you will sooner or later. When you live for a hundred years, two hundred years, you will be relieved to see your friends with low realms gradually die, and your confidante turns into a piece of loess. Of course, a god of mountains and rivers like me can live longer and see more clearly. ”

"Perhaps, but I don't want to get to that point as much as I can." Lu Zhu smiled bitterly and said, "This is not up to you." The two of them had already walked through the fourth floor, but the stairs were still spreading upwards, and there were fewer and fewer people around, and correspondingly, the surrounding decorations were becoming smaller and more delicate.

Xu Huaigu seemed to remember something, and asked again: "It is said that there are gods in the mountains and waters, are there any gods in the sea?" ”

"You're asking the right question, and the average monk really doesn't know the answer to this question." Green Bead's tone was a little proud,

"It's really hard to answer this question with and without it, and it's much more complicated in the sea. Generally speaking, there is no sea god, and it can be said that there is no orthodox god like me. Because the ocean is too wide, and the seas of the whole Central Region are connected together, if there is a sea god who can control everything, then it must have the cultivation of the twelve realms, but no one in the middle region has yet stepped into the twelve realms. ”

"The water in the sea is different from the water in the river, which rains down from the sky, but the water in the sea is the water of no source, which has been there since the beginning of the heavens and the earth, and has never increased or decreased. But just as there is no absolute freedom under the sky, the ocean is not unsupervised. Have you ever heard of the secret realm of Yao Chi? Xu Huaigu shook his head, saying that he had never heard of it, so Lu Zhu patiently continued to tell him.

"The Yaochi Secret Realm, like the Lethe Secret Realm, is also one of the largest secret realms in the entire Central Domain, involving the mechanism structure of the first opening of heaven and earth. It is said that there is a lady in the secret realm of Yaochi, who is a true immortal in the sky. When the heavens and the earth first opened, she scooped a scoop of water from the Yao Pond and sprinkled it on the world, this is the sea, and the water in the rivers and lakes gradually separated from the sea. ”

"And there is another rumor about this Yaochi Niangniang, you can only listen to it as a rumor, don't take it seriously." When Lu Zhu said this, he laughed heartily, quite naughty, Xu Huaigu was suddenly interested, and hurriedly asked her what it was.

"Like the filth and intoxication of the heavens...... That's right, I'm talking about wine. Lu Zhu said that this stopped, and looked at him with wide eyes and a smile, this is an intention to sell Xu Huaigu.

As soon as he heard the wine, Xu Huaigu was also energetic, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with the wine?" ”

"It is said that the wine in this heaven and earth is just two drops of fragrant sweat that drip when the lady spilled that scoop of sourceless water." Green Bead pretended to laugh mockingly,

"Look at you like this, you must have drunk a lot." Xu Huaigu disagreed, but said with a smile: "It's just some legends, you can't take it seriously." Lu Zhu was originally told as a joke, so he naturally didn't care about Xu Huaigu's opinion.

Lu Zhu asked again: "Do you like to drink?" Xu Huaigu said: "Alcoholism is like life." Lu Zhu nodded and said, "I see, I see that you sword learners all love to drink, and sure enough, even you are no exception." ”

"Haven't you ever heard of a sentence in Luzhu, this wine is like a sword washing pool for sword cultivation, the great sword fairy doesn't necessarily like to drink, but the sword cultivator who doesn't like to drink will definitely not become a big sword immortal. I'm self-motivated. ”

"You're still self-motivated, come on." Luzhu smiled,

"However, wine and sword cultivation have never been separated, I know that the Yang family's sword immortal lineage in Middle-earth never drinks, but it is recognized as the highest swordsmanship in the world. The swords they practiced were very regular swords, and they had stood at the pinnacle of the Middle Domain Sword Dao for thousands of years. While chatting, Lu Zhu had already taken Xu Huaigu to the upper floor of the palace and stood at the door of a room.

A tall and thin woman wearing a plain white dress and a snow-silver hairpin walked to Luzhu's side from the side, bowed her head and greeted, "Niangniang, you are back." Lu Zhu said to Xu Huaigu: "This is the maid next to me, called Gardenia." Xu Huaigu nodded hurriedly and said, "It turned out to be a gardenia girl, I have seen it here." Lu Zhu turned his head to Gardenia and ordered: "This is Xu Gongzi, my distinguished guest from afar, you can receive him well." Gardenia understood and said, "Obey the orders of the mother." Lu Zhu said with some apologies: "Master Xu, at the order of Lord Heitong, I must immediately summon the water gods of the entire Luhua River to come over and find out the power of Mei Yong." It may take some time, but when this is over, I will definitely prepare a thank you gift that satisfies Xu Gongzi. Xu Gongzi shouldn't be in a hurry to leave, right? Xu Huaigu thought for a moment and replied: "It's really not urgent, it's just that I don't have good news here, and I still want Miss Luzhu to inquire about some things for me." Gardenia couldn't help but be surprised when she heard Xu Huaigu call Luzhu a girl.

Lu Zhu smiled: "Xu Gongzi is a guest, so there is no need to be polite, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"I want to know what the situation is in the south of Dongfu Shake Continent, how long will it take for the demon clan to invade, but there is any definite news?" Lu Zhu nodded and agreed: "Yes, I will immediately send someone to check and tell you if I have any news." Xu Huaigu thanked him, and Luzhu asked Gardenia to receive Xu Huaigu well, and left.

Gardenia was still immersed in surprise at this time. For a long time, at least one or two hundred years, she had never heard a man call her Niangniang Luzhu Girl.

She didn't dare to be careless in her heart, and she was very polite to Xu Huaigu. Xu Huaigu was led by her to a good guest room, and Gardenia made him tea.

Xu Huaigu drank the tea and asked her, "Are there four treasures of the study here?" Gardenia hurriedly replied, "Yes." Xu Huaigu smiled politely: "Can you ask the gardenia girl to lend me something?" Gardenia was a little confused, but still agreed, "Okay." She went out of the room and went to get pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Gardenia thought to himself, this new man is so strange, he doesn't need to send a message to the flying sword when he has something, but he wants the four treasures of the study, not like a monk, not to mention that he even calls his mother a girl.

Thinking of this, Gardenia couldn't help but smile again. In her eyes, Luzhu Niangniang was originally a girl, but no one dared to call her that on weekdays.

Anyway, this new man is still interesting, and maybe something funny is going to happen.
