Chapter 20: The Disciples of the Dead, the Awakening of the Youth
In the Qian family on Chang'an Street, a young guest recently came to the door, and in order to entertain her, even the old lady who had not asked about family affairs for many years came forward in person.
You can see how important this guest is.
In Mrs. Qian's study, the host was sitting opposite a girl with an extremely brilliant appearance.
The girl took out a jade immortal treasure coin and a letter from her sleeve, "Senior, this is what my master asked me to give to you." ”
Qian Jinbao picked up the jade coin, revealing a look of reminiscence, and then opened the letter and read it carefully.
After a while, the old man put down the letter, "Your name is Gu Qingci, right, Brother You Qing said in the letter that you are the only kendo genius in a continent, and I have known him for a short time, but I have never seen him think so favorably about a disciple." You can stay here with peace of mind, and when you wait for the meeting on the third day of the third month of March, the old man will definitely win a seat for you. ”
Gu Qingci shook his head, "Thank you seniors for your kindness, but the younger generations have always practiced sword cultivation from the heart, and rarely borrow foreign objects." It won't be long before I can stay in Chonglou Town, and I'll immediately set off for the north to go to that demon battlefield. ”
Qian Jinbao nodded, and did not stop the girl too much, on the road to cultivation and ascending, everyone's path to the Dharma is different.
Gu Qingci obviously has a clear road plan, and it is useless to say more.
"It's okay that young people go out and see the world a lot. Since you are bent on refusing to resign, I don't want to stop you more, but you must stay in the house for a few more days, so that I can do my best to be a landlord. ”
"Then it's going to bother the seniors."
"Don't worry about it, don't worry about it, when I see you, the disciple of the old man, I will do a lot of old things in my heart all of a sudden, and the past that I thought I had completely forgotten resurfaced in front of me."
Qian Jinbao's eyes were full of sighs, "When I met Brother You Qing back then, I was about the same age as you, and so many years have passed in a flash. There is really a kind of thing that is wrong with people, and the years do not leave people behind. ”
"The master also often thinks about his predecessors and a few old friends in the ears of his juniors."
"Oh, really? Haha, presumably Brother You Qing is also nostalgic for those years. ”
————
At night, Lu Guan woke up leisurely, looking at the familiar environment, and felt a little unreal in his heart.
He still remembered that in that mysterious world, he used the ancestral magic to annihilate the soul of the great demon, and after getting the information of the person behind the scenes, he fainted because of the exhaustion of his spirit.
Why did I wake up and lie on my bed, "Siniang, who saved me?" ”
The beautiful woman who was yawning on the edge of the bed heard the young man speak, and her eyebrows were full of surprise, "Ah, Xiaoguan, you woke up, fortunately, thanks to the ninth master and his old man's Jin Dan, you can wake up so quickly." ”
The woman who sold the wine kept talking like a magpie, "It's a little girl from out of town who saved you, and the sword aura on her body is so strong that she scares people to death, and you have to thank people when you recover." ”
"It's nature."
The boy replied solemnly.
"Yes, yes, it's a bit unexpected that you can wake up so quickly", the ninth master didn't arrive, and the voice had already sounded.
The next moment, he pushed the door in, and Uncle Jing came in half a way behind the old man.
The old man put one hand on the young man's wrist, and after a while, he withdrew it with a smile on his face, "You are in danger this time, and you have fulfilled the old saying, 'If you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing in the future'." The medicinal power of that golden pill is good, and you will soon become vigorous again. ”
"When you refine it all, the qualifications of this body will be improved more than a notch. After all, it was the highest-quality Nine Aperture Golden Pill of the Dan family that I asked for from a certain Taoist Gao Zhen. ”
"Thank you Ninth Master for your help."
The old man waved his hand, "Don't say this kind of foreign talk, in the final analysis, the old slave is still the servant of the Lu family, these are the things that should be done." ”
Lu Guan shook his head slightly, "One yard is one yard, you have your own reasons for doing this, but I remember this Lu Guandi." ”
Uncle Jing brought a bowl of chicken soup, "Drink it while it's hot, make up for it." ”
"Thank you, Uncle Jing."
The young man took the chicken soup and drank it, and the middle-aged chef put more than ten kinds of precious medicinal materials into the soup, which had a miraculous effect on rejuvenating vitality.
Halfway through the drink, the young man put down the chicken soup in his hand and looked at the old man holding a dry tobacco stick with an unprecedented solemn attitude, "Ninth Master, I want you to tell me the truth, is there a shadow of the Zhou family behind this incident." ”
After he said this question, the atmosphere in the room suddenly froze, and Siniang and Uncle Jing looked at each other.
The middle-aged beauty had a smile on her face, "Hehe, you just woke up now, don't think about what you have or don't have, hurry up and finish the chicken soup to rest." ”
The young man didn't say a word, staring at the old man in front of him with burning eyes.
Xu Jiuyuan looked at the young man's stubborn eyes, picked up the cigarette stick and gently bumped it on the sole of his shoe, and said with some sadness, "You are so strong, I really don't know who it is." ”
Seeing that the young man did not stop tonight, the old man also looked solemn, "After the Wei family came back, I immediately traced the long time, but judging from the information obtained so far, no one from the Zhou family was involved. ”
"However, there are too many doubts in this matter, because except for the Wei family's father and son and the out-of-town visitor who was caught by me, the old man did not find any other valuable clues."
"This kind of major event involving the demon clan, his Wei family, a bunch of bastards who eat inside and out, and a foreigner who is just worthy of crossing the threshold of land immortals, are not so daring to this point."
"I suspect that there is a master behind them who has helped them erase a lot of traces, and this person is very likely to be the biggest behind this incident."
Lu Guan nodded, "Okay, I understand." ”
Jiu Ye's voice was low, "Many things in this world seem to be simple and clear, but in fact, there are hidden mysteries in them, and there are many intricate twists and turns. When you stand on the highest place one day, you can go back and slowly peel off the cocoon of this matter and carefully pursue the real culprit. ”
The young man was silent for a long time before he nodded to show that he understood.
…………
At night, Lu Guan had already fallen into a deep sleep.
In the room next to him, there was a portrait of a middle-aged man with white temples and a plain white robe hanging in the middle of the wall. On the lower offering table are tablets dedicated to the ancestors of the Lu family according to their generations.
There was a faint light of incense hovering on each tablet, but the portrait at the top was dim.
The night was dark, and a dazzling spiritual light suddenly appeared on the portrait in the center, reflecting the entire ancestral hall shiningly.
The ancestral tablet below trembled slightly, and then all the spiritual rhyme that had been lingering on it suddenly extinguished.
Subsequently, this brilliance was like rippling water, with the Lu ancestral hall as the center, spreading to the entire Chonglou Town, and finally enveloping the entire small world including the town.
Everything happened in a very short moment, and even the great monks such as Lou Yu and Qian Jinbao in the small town did not feel the slightest bit about it.
The whole town seemed to pause at this moment, the candles in the ancestral hall were no longer flickering, the wind in the alleys was silent for a moment, the Yuling River outside the town stopped flowing, and the splashed water droplets hovered in the air.
This scene is like a long river of time flowing through this place, and it has come to a standstill.
Soon, a figure walked out of the portrait, and he looked up at the ancestral hall that he had not seen for a long time, thoughtfully.
Xu Jiuyuan, who lived on the other side, suddenly opened his eyes and snorted lightly, "Someone dares to fight the idea of the ancestral hall, I really don't know whether to live or die." ”
