The knock on the door interrupted Lu Xuan's thoughts, and it happened that Wu Xiaoxu walked out with two cups of hot tea that had just been brewed.

Wu Datong frowned and muttered:

"I still have guests here? Xiao Xu, you go open the door. ”

"Gotcha!" Wu Xiaoxu put two cups of steaming tea in front of Lu Xuan and Xiao Yan, and immediately trotted open the door.

"Are you.?" He asked, confused.

"The provincial capital, Liu Zhong, on the order of the lord of the mansion, has come to visit Wu Zhenshou."

Wu Datong frowned, sat on the chair, and didn't get up, just said calmly:

"Come in."

Lu Xuan and Xiao Yan exchanged a look, both thoughtful.

After a while, Wu Xiaoxu led a middle-aged man with an honest face to walk in, Liu Zhong glanced at the young man and girl sitting on the sofa, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he didn't show it.

He made a salute to Wu Datong, who was lying on the chair safely, and said:

"The secretary of the provincial government, Liu Zhong, has met Lord Wu."

"Hmm." Wu Datong didn't beckon him to sit down, so he asked lightly: "What's the matter?" ”

Liu Zhong didn't care, with an extremely formulaic smile on his face, and he opened his mouth clearly:

"On the orders of the lord of the mansion, I have come to invite Lord Wu to attend tonight's dinner, and the leaders of various departments of the provincial government will attend, and the big town guard will also come."

Lu Xuan listened quietly, thoughtfully, the provincial capital lord is the highest administrative head of the province, and together with the big town guard, one is responsible for [Wen], and the other is responsible for [Wu],

In other words, one is in power, and the other is in charge of the army.

While he was thinking, Wu Datong raised his eyelids and asked in a salty and indifferent manner:

"Oh? Banquet? Do you still need to be personally invited to a dinner party, Butler Liu, I don't like to be lively, so I won't go. ”

"Lord Wu." Liu Zhong owed a debt and made a respectful statement: "The lord of the mansion asked me to invite you to be there, this dinner is not ordinary"

"Didn't you see a guest in my house?" Wu Datong's voice was slightly cold: "I want to entertain guests." ”

Liu Zhong hesitated for a moment and made another salute:

"But today's dinner is really important, and even the mayors of fourteen first-tier cities in the province have to go to the banquet, or Lord Wu will bring two little guests with them, and they can see the world."

Although he felt that Lu Xuan and Yan Jiangxue were a little familiar, he just glanced at the photo a long time ago and didn't remember who it was.

Wu Datong also realized that it was unusual at this time, and even a marginal figure like himself asked to be present at the dinner party, which summoned so many people

His expression moved slightly, and he asked:

"Is this dinner party about something?"

Liu Zhong smiled dryly and said humbly:

"I don't know very well about that."

Saying that, as if he was afraid that Wu Datong would still refuse, he added:

"But it seems to have something to do with a super consortium."

Lu Xuan was stunned and glanced at Xiao Yan, who was also full of doubts, while Wu Datong said thoughtfully:

"That's okay, I'll trouble the big housekeeper Liu to go back and tell the lord of the mansion that I will definitely go to the banquet."

Liu Zhong owed again, and after informing him of the place and time, he faced Wu Datong, bent over, and retreated step by step, until he retreated to the door, then turned around and pushed the door and left.

After he left, Wu Datong sneered:

"It's a lot of work on the surface."

Lu Xuan asked with some curiosity:

"Uncle Wu, who was this just now?"

"The Great Secretary of the Mansion Master."

Lu Xuan was stunned, no wonder Uncle Wu called him the big butler, after thinking about it, he said again:

"Uncle Wu came to the city to register his name, and he didn't participate in the affairs of the federation at all, but the lord of the mansion strongly asked you to go to the banquet. I always felt that something was wrong. ”

"Hmm." It was Xiao Yan who spoke, her back straightened, and she said concisely: "It also involves a super consortium, which is very strange, how can a province be involved with a consortium?" The two sides are not equal. ”

Xiao Yan is telling the truth, although a province is vast, the power of the provincial government lord and the big town guard is indeed very great, which is equivalent to the ancient feudal officials, who have complete autonomy over most things in the province.

However, in front of the super-consortium

That's it.

Although Yan Jiangxue is not good at words in front of outsiders, she is the eldest princess of Dragon Bird Technology, and after so many ears and eyes, she quickly gained insight into the strangeness.

How can a provincial banquet involve matters related to a super consortium?

Unless, in itself, there is a super consortium involved.

She frowned, and recounted the guess in her heart, in the living room, except for Wu Xiaoxu's confusion and ignorance, Lu Xuan and Wu Datong were both in deep thought.

After a while, Wu Datong raised his head with a solemn expression:

"But it's like. As Xiao Yan said, this matter is very strange, in this way, I will know when the time comes, Xiao Xu, you will entertain Xiao Xuan and them at night."

Before the words fell, Lu Xuan waved his hand and refused:

"No, didn't the big butler Liu just say that we can also go to see the world? I didn't want to go at first, but since there might be something strange about it, I really wanted to go and see it. ”

Wu Datong hesitated:

"If everything is normal, forget it, but according to the current situation, there is a high probability that it is related to a super consortium, in case"

"It's okay, Uncle Wu." As he spoke, Lu Xuan winked at Wu Datong.

Wu Datong was stunned, thinking that Lu Xuan could turn into a great masterpiece, he was immediately relieved and nodded in agreement.

In fact, although Lu Xuan can't use the Tibetan Historical Order in the present world, he really doesn't have to care about anything with Qingping in secret.

A true immortal, even if it is just a nine-rank true immortal who has just entered the Chaotianque level, is enough to easily suppress the entire Langya Province.

Whether it is the so-called provincial government lord or the big town guard, it is only an earth immortal if he dies.

After having lunch at Wu Datong's house, because they planned to go to the banquet together in the evening, the two did not say goodbye and left, and simply stayed in the villa to rest.

Xiao Yan lay on the bed in the guest room for a morning break, while Lu Xuan communicated with Wu Datong alone, talking about the [Shenglou] and the cult.

"Uncle Wu, the change in Qianlong City seven years ago, it was definitely a cult before the curtain, but what about after the curtain? For whom is the cult performing a great sacrifice? Is it really related to the owner of the building? ”

Wu Datong fell into memory, and after a while, he said softly:

"I don't have direct evidence, but more than eighty percent of the probability is related to the landlord, I was still the big doctor of the building at the time, and I won't tell you that the cult is a person."

After hesitating for a moment, he said calmly:

"The cult people were I to see and go to Qianlong City, but I didn't know it was a cultist at the time, but I was sent off by the order of the landlord, and I didn't come to my senses until the Qianlong City accident happened, and then I slashed myself and got out of the building."

Lu Xuan's brows tightened together, he thought about it for a long time, and he didn't hide anything, and said bluntly:

"That day, there was a great sacrifice in Donghai City, and when I fought with him, he told me personally that the reason for the sacrifice was to replenish himself with the essence of tens of millions of people's lives, and the owner of the building was also seriously injured?"

After a pause, he continued:

"Of course, that dying Dapin also told me that some immortals are trying to break through the level of Dapin, taking the great sacrifices as rituals, and using the blood and bones of living beings as sacrificial materials, in a vain attempt to break through the realm."

"It's the latter."

Wu Datong's face first appeared with a look of surprise, that day in outer space fighting, it was indeed Xiao Xuan who rebuked the terrifying sword light, and then his expression was solemn:

"I mean, if the Qianlong City Festival is really for the owner of the living building, it can only be the latter reason."

As he spoke, a look of horror appeared on his face:

"The big sacrifice happens from time to time, but it is usually only once in two or three years, after all, everyone is very strict, and the immortals who perform the big sacrifice are also done in secret, but those two years are different, two years, what I know is that more than 30 cities are

Lu Xuan's hand shook, more than 30 cities!

Even if they are only second- and third-tier cities like Qianlong City and Donghai City, each city has a population of 10 or 20 million.

More than 30 cities, that is, billions of people.

Billions!

The population of the entire ancestral planet in the record is only a few hundred billion, counting those that are not counted by the census, accounting for about one-third of the total population.

In other words, Zuxing has a total of more than a trillion people, and it is evenly spread out among the sixty provinces in the east and west continents, and one province has only two or three billion people.

And six or seven years ago, billions of people were slaughtered, half a province!

Lu Xuan's heart twitched, while Wu Datong took a deep breath, looked solemn, and continued:

And that is, after the frequent sacrifices in those two years, the landlord he. It is suspected that he has broken through the realm of great products and become immortal, and he has not performed any heaven and earth rituals during this period. ”

Lu Xuan nodded heavily, and unconsciously clenched his fists:

"That is, there is a ninety percent probability, it is the great sacrifice performed by the owner of the Shenglou, but in the end, it is not completely certain that Uncle Wu, the current human race, how many immortals?"

"I don't know." Wu Datong shook his head: "But it will definitely not exceed the number of palms, hold up three or five people, each of them has never been in the world." ”

After a pause, he continued:

"It seems to have something to do with the limitations of heaven and earth, and now the great heaven and earth have not fully recovered, and they can't withstand the power of the immortal level at all."

"I see."

Lu Xuan shook his head and fell into deep thought.

A line vaguely appeared in his mind, cult, Sakata Heavy Industries, Shenglou.

But the line seems to be missing something critical and incoherent.

Lu Xuan thought of the dead building, and thought of the warning of Yang Jian and others in Gou Xian Town, "Pay attention to the second floor of life and death, and pay attention to the upper palace and the earth!" ”

His heart moved, and he asked Wu Datong if he had heard of the terms "Shanggong" and "Dique", but he received a negative answer, which made Lu Xuan even more confused.

The upper palace and the ground que sound opposite each other, just like the second floor of life and death.

There are more things hidden under the surface of the water in this world than you imagined

Thinking of the many demon clans outside the solar system and beyond the Great Wall of the Starry Sky, Lu Xuan's sense of urgency became stronger and stronger.

To become stronger, he needs to become stronger as much as possible, as quickly as possible.

And the most lacking thing at the moment is time!

Suddenly, Lu Xuan remembered what Uncle Wu had said before, "A Dream for a Thousand Years", and had a plan in his heart, but he didn't say it.

It's not time yet.

After the conversation, he sat alone on the sofa, silently meditating, silently practicing.

The yin and yang in the acupoint of the left hand are still stable, and when you accumulate enough Bodhi peels, I am afraid that you will need to continue to try to mediate and create in them.

In terms of the current situation, it is still too slow to become stronger steadily, and we must 'take risks' and try to find another way

In addition to opening up the world and increasing the original body in the holes, the human fortune and the thoughts of sentient beings are also the way to quickly become stronger.

The former can make himself known as the mountains and rivers of the human race, not to mention the latter, that big splash of sentient beings directly made Lu Xuan build the third Taishang Jade Ladder in an instant.

Lu Xuan's mind turned a thousand times, and soon he had a complete plan, Sanqingguan must try to appear in front of the public, and the opening of the trick needs to wait for accumulation.

Humanitarian fortune can only be accumulated in dreams, and the time for each dream is too short.

At the end of the day, it's still that question, the ancient in the dream.

Time passed slowly, and soon, it was twilight.

"Xiao Xuan, Xiao Yan!" Wu Datong beckoned: "It's almost time to go." ”
