Chapter 655: Seeking Advice
After Lu An left, Qin Shuang's face was still sluggish, he still couldn't figure out, what was going on?
He got so many benefits, he really couldn't figure out what this person's purpose was, and he didn't even mention his name, so how should he repay the favor next?
The more Qin Shuang thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, this was really a bit unbelievable.
It's just that Zhou Te and Gu Zheng don't care about these things at all, Zhou Te took the key and went to open the door of the blacksmith shop, and then there was a wow-wow.
"Senior brother, this is really a blacksmith shop!"
Gu Zheng also had a similar expression, and quickly rushed to the backyard, and saw the rooms inside, and even a small courtyard, which made him feel extremely excited.
Qin Shuang followed in with the money bag and the sword, he was not so interested in these things, he was only interested in the sword in his hand.
The man casually gave three heavenly soldiers, and this kind of arrogant behavior made him a little unconvinced.
Then he drew his sword, and the sound of the sword sounded directly, instantly echoing in Qin Shuang's ears, the sharpness of the sword qi and the hardness of the sword body made him sigh with emotion, "It's really a heavenly soldier!"
The mood was directly excited, revealing a feeling of love that he couldn't put it down.
After knowing that this sword was real, Qin Shuang immediately opened the money bag given by Lu An, and as soon as he opened it, his eyes widened.
"How so? Am I dazzled?"
Qin Shuang's shock attracted Zhou Te and Guzheng in the room, and the two of them came over together.
"What's wrong with Senior Brother?" asked Gu Zheng with a curious expression.
Qin Shuang directly handed over the money bag.
Gu Zheng glanced inside, his eyes lit up, and he said in shock: "What is this, is this real? Why is it such a big bag!"
"What's it?what?," Zhou Te's head stretched out directly, with a curious expression.
After seeing the contents of the bag, his mouth directly changed into an oh shape, "Senior brother, is this the spirit crystal essence? Is this the spirit crystal essence? Such a big bag of spirit crystal essence! Rich, rich!"
Qin Shuang nodded solemnly, "Yes, this should be the so-called spirit crystal essence, one is worth hundreds of thousands of spirit crystals, such a big bag, maybe our sect will be bought!"
"Ahh
Gu Zheng's eyes widened in surprise, she had never seen such a large fortune, and after the surprise, this feeling of windfall made her feel extremely happy.
"Senior brother, I knew that it was so easy to make money by walking the rivers and lakes, so we should have set off to walk the rivers and lakes as soon as possible, and we would have made a fortune!" Gu Zheng said with a smile on his face.
Qin Shuang laughed dryly, the easier these things came, the more uneasy he felt in his heart, and it was such a large amount of money.
The money in the money bag is not much, and the really valuable things are the three heavenly soldiers in their hands, which are the really valuable things.
No matter how cheap a heavenly soldier is, it is estimated that it is worth more than a hundred spirit crystal essences, and there are three of them at once, this is not a thousand spirit crystal essences?
Thinking of this, Qin Shuang directly gasped, how could such a valuable gift be given away so casually?
"Who the hell is that person? You can take out three heavenly soldiers at will, could it be that he is a craftsman?" Qin Shuang was extremely curious.
Gu Zheng saw that Qin Shuang had been standing outside in a daze, and hurriedly reminded: "Senior brother, what are you doing standing outside? Don't you come in? Are you still thinking about that person?"
Qin Shuang took a breath, walked in with a smile, and raised the sword in his hand, "The other party gave us three divine weapons casually, this is a big gift, the three divine weapons add up to thousands of spirit crystal essences, right?
As soon as these words came out, the two of them immediately reacted, and they both looked at the sword in their hands blankly.
"Thousands of spirit crystal essences!" Zhou Te shouted directly and frantically, he only reacted at this time, it turned out that the sword in his hand was the most valuable thing!
After the excitement, Zhou Te began to panic a little, and suddenly received such a large amount of money, which was more than he could bear.
"Senior brother... Brother, did we mess with someone? This is incredible, isn't it? Will he think of us in a bad way?"
Zhou Te's sudden panic made Qin Shuang laugh directly, "What's the matter? Now that you have reacted, you know that you are afraid, why were you so happy before?"
Zhou Te scratched his head and said with an embarrassed face: "This value is also a little too big, and the big one makes me feel a little panicked!
"What else can we do? Now that it's all accepted, let's take it honestly, if that person doesn't make any excessive requests, then we have no reason to refuse immediately, so we can only come and be safe!" Qin Shuang persuaded Zhou Te with a set of persuasions.
Now that Qin Shuang had spoken, Zhou Te nodded silently, and could only do this for the time being.
The three of them settled in the blacksmith shop for some reason, and everything was as strange as a dream.
After separating from Qin Shuang and them, Lu An once again walked on this familiar street.
Before he met Qin Shuang, Lu An was not very interested in him, but at the first glance of this person, Lu An had a great impression of this person, and he was quite eye-catching.
Qin Shuang's strength is indeed good, he has reached the Six Realms at this age, and the traces of the sect on his body are unusually weak, and the simple aura on his body is particularly attractive to Lu An.
It was the first time he had seen such a person in so many years, one who was so similar to him before.
Thinking of this person's innocence, Lu An couldn't help but laugh, such a person is too rare.
From Qin Shuang, Lu An saw his former self, and when he first came to the Craftsman City, he was also stunned, at a loss, and was extremely interested in everything, but these things often embarrassed him.
It's a good idea to describe yourself as a hillbilly.
Now that he has seen such a similar person again, Lu An is still very happy, and through the performance of these people, let's take a look at his past.
If the other party is really willing to stay in Craftsman City, Lu An is still happy to guide this kind of person.
Simple, honest and simple.
In Lu An's opinion, these feelings are the most precious feelings.
It's just that I don't know how long Qin Shuang can keep this feeling.
Regarding Qin Shuang's strength and talent, Lu An actually didn't care so much.
In his opinion, as long as he can reach the Five Realms at this age, then this talent is already very high.
This kind of person will generally have their own set of cultivation methods, like Qin Shuang
It must also be the same, the future path of the grandmaster, for these people, only needs to be dialed, and there is no need to teach it by hand at all.
Qin Shuang, a simple monk who doesn't put a lot of effort into it, only needs to have his energy in place, and if nothing else, this kind of person will definitely become a grandmaster in the future.
For Qin Shuang, Lu An's expectations are still very big.
With such a harvest today, Lu An's mood is still very good.
After walking two streets, Lu An was a little unhappy, because he felt that someone was following him behind him.
This strange feeling made him quite unhappy.
Directly turned his head to look behind him, through these crowds of people coming and going, Lu An directly found the person in the crowd.
The moment his eyes touched, Lu An disappeared in place.
The young man froze for a moment, then showed an unusual expression, and began to look around, not understanding how Lu An disappeared from his eyes.
"Is this the strength of the Nine Realms Grandmaster?"
The young man muttered involuntarily, his eyes full of awe for Lu An.
"Who are you and what's going on with me?"
Lu An's voice sounded directly behind the young man.
The man's hairs stood on end in an instant, and he wanted to turn his head in extreme horror.
Perhaps Lu An's hand had pressed on the man's shoulder, stopping his movements.
"Qin Jun's armor, are you from Qin?" Lu An touched the familiar armor, because this person's dress was too similar to what he used to wear.
Only half of the cuirass was across the front and back of the chest, and in order to facilitate the movement of his arms, he directly removed the armor on his shoulders.
It's just that the other party's equipment is what he wants.
And Lu An's dress at that time was unacceptable, he was thin at that time, and he didn't have a fitting armor at all, and Daning didn't have much armor at that time, so that he could only rely on the combination with confidence.
The person in front of him was dressed really like him back then.
Moreover, the armor specifications of Daqin and Daning are very imaginary, and there is basically no big change.
This made Lu An suddenly have a feeling of memory.
But there were enough memories today, and he was more interested in the young man in front of him.
"That's right, I'm from Qin, and you've seen me before, my name is Ning Qi. β
After Ning Qi finished speaking, he slowly turned his head around, and made a junior salute to Lu An very respectfully, and almost kowtowed.
"Ning Qi?" Lu An's brows furrowed directly, Ning Qi in his mind was still just a child, and his impression of him was also stuck in the time when he escorted him and Ning Zheng back to Saibei, and now they have become young people as tall as him.
Ning Qi nodded.
Lu An put down his hand and smiled, he can be regarded as an old man, "I heard that you are coming to Craftsman City before, I was a little surprised, your talent is very good, your strength is also very strong, and now you are also famous, in time you will inevitably step into the grandmaster, so I am very curious about the purpose of your visit this time, is it true that you are just to get the top spot?"
Ning Qi smiled honestly and shook his head, "To be honest, I really don't want to come, it was the eldest brother who asked me to come, but I heard that Master Lu is also in the Craftsman City, so I am very willing to come." β
Lu An could only smile when he heard this, "Say, why did you follow me just now?
"Lu Shi, this thing is really just an accident, I just came to the craftsman city today, after staying, I went out to shop alone, especially Lu Shi's blacksmith shop I was very interested, so I went to see it twice, at that time I happened to meet Lu Shi chatting with a few young people, I waited there to watch for a while, and then saw Lu Shi left, I took advantage of the situation and followed, it was not so deliberate, just like Lu Shi, shopping here casually. What Ning Qi said was very frank.
Lu An nodded silently, "So you can follow me, it's really just an accident?"
Ning Qi nodded in the same way, "If I had followed you from the beginning, would you have found out?" I am really the same as you, just strolling along this street, and I also want to see the place where Lu Shi lived before he became famous. β
Regarding Ning Qi's words, Lu An did not need to continue to ask, because he felt that Ning Qi was very excited, and he had no hidden thoughts about the excitement of seeing him, all of which were shown on his face.
Like Qin Shuang, Ning Qi looked so honest, the only difference was the murderous aura emanating from his body, which was a bit unusual, far beyond the evil aura he once had.
Lu An stood beside him, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Seeing that Lu An didn't speak, Ning Qi directly began to find a conversation, "Master Lu, who are the three people who talked to you before?
Lu An nodded and continued to walk.
Ning Qi hurriedly followed, his expression was very excited, "In this way, their strength is very strong, otherwise how could they be favored by Master Lu." β
The battle intent revealed in these words made Lu An couldn't help but worry, but it disappeared in an instant, this is something that Qin Shuang will have to face sooner or later, it seems that it is useless for him to worry, if he dies on the way to the grandmaster, then it will prove that he does not have this life.
This kind of reincarnation rule of the Heavenly Dao, Lu An can now vaguely feel a little, everything should go with the flow, too much intervention is not appropriate for anyone or anything.
So he won't interfere too much in Qin Shuang's fate, it's okay to intervene appropriately, if he intervenes again and again, then won't Qin Shuang become himself?
A marionette of others, such a fate is too boring.
"It's not strong. Lu An replied lightly.
The word not strong was so harsh in Ning Qi's ears, "So, is that person's talent very high?"
"His talent may be a little bit small compared to you. Lu An thought about it and made such a comparison.
This made Ning Qi a little puzzled, his strength was not strong, and his talent was not high, how could such a person be recognized by Lu An? This is really a strange thing, "Master Lu, I don't understand what you said, then why do you want to look at these people differently? Could it be that they are famous families, and they seem to rarely go out, so they deliberately come to take care of one or two?"
Even Ning Qi himself didn't believe it, because the three of them were dressed a little rustic.
Lu An shook his head again, then laughed, and asked rhetorically, "Why are you so interested in them?"
Ning Qi scratched his head, "It's nothing, I just think it's a little strange, it can make Master Lu interested and take care of it personally, and you also let them live in that blacksmith shop, as we all know."
The blacksmith shop is not ordinary, and the people who live in it are all people from your lineage, and now these three people have suddenly moved in, isn't it intriguing? And I don't think it's my idea alone, there are too many people in the world who are paying attention to you now. β
As soon as Lu An looked up, he found that he had already walked to Fengqi Tower, and then he looked up again and found that there was a look on the top floor of Fengqi Tower staring at him.
Since you've come here, you can only go in and take a look, otherwise the next time you pass by, you may be beaten by the old man on the roof, and you have to be scolded at the worst.
"Since you have so many questions, let's go inside and talk. Lu An said and walked inside.
Ning Qi, who had never entered Fengqi Tower, frowned wildly in an instant, his expression was unusually twisted, just talk, how could he go to Fengqi Tower in a good manner?
But Lu An had already gone in, so he could only follow quickly, to be honest, he did have a lot of confusion and questions in his heart.
A large part of the reason for coming to Craftsman City this time is to meet Lu An, communicate with him well, and finally express some of his eldest brother's opinions.
After all, Lu An is too important to Daqin!
Lu An is very familiar with Fengqi Tower, and Fengqi Tower is also the same for Lu An.
Mr. Shang is still the same, there is no change at all, compared with more than ten years ago, the years have only left a few small fine lines on her eyebrows, which cannot be seen without looking carefully.
Lu An saluted Mr. Shang slightly, and Mr. Shang did the same.
For the Grandmaster, no matter what the person's age is, everyone maintains a necessary respect.
It's just that it's difficult for Ning Qi and Lu An to salute, so he naturally followed suit, thinking of his dignified Second Highness Qin and saluting a shopkeeper of Fengqi Tower, it's really not a taste to think about it.
But Lu An has done it all, what can he do?
After Mr. Shang greeted Lu An, he looked at Ning Qi on the side, "Meet Your Highness!"
Ning Qi, who was called by His Royal Highness, was embarrassed again and again, and he didn't know how to respond, just now he had already saluted with Lu An, could it be possible to salute again?
Seeing this embarrassing scene, Lu An laughed directly, "Mr. Shang will get us a room, I'll talk to him for a while, and explain to Mr. Heqing, I'll go to visit her later, let her not worry, I'm afraid he will rush down and beat me." β
Mr. Shang covered his mouth and smiled, and then took Lu An to a small private room, and then withdrew.
Feeling the hazy and beautiful environment here, Ning Qi sighed twice, "I didn't expect Fengqi Tower to be so extravagant, no wonder even Lu Shi loves such a place." β
Lu An shook his head, "It feels like you have something to say, do you have a grudge against Fengqi Tower?"
Ning Qi smiled crookedly and shook his head, "I just think it's strange, why would a dignified Nine Realms Grandmaster like to come to this kind of place? Who are the people from Fengqi Tower, Master Lu should know better than me, right?"
"It turned out to be prejudice. Lu An laughed as he spoke, "I can't imagine that His Royal Highness the Second Great Qin is so naΓ―ve, some things are not what you think, if you don't touch it, you may not know what this thing is for, such as this Fengqi Tower, he can make your Great Qin chaotic for a few months, do you believe it?"
Ning Qi naturally didn't believe it, shook his head and denied: "Master Lu, are you kidding? A group of women in Fengqi Tower, you want to make my Great Qin mess up? My Great Qin's iron cavalry only needs to use a single charge to destroy all of Fengqi Tower, and a single salvo can kill them all, leaving no armor behind." β
Such child's play made Lu An shake his head again and again, "The world says that you are a killing god, hundreds of thousands of people have died in your hands, and the murderous aura on your body is also rich and abnormal, but when I saw you today, I felt a little disappointed, you are so stupid?"
Being scolded for being stupid, it was the first time for Ning Qi, and he didn't understand why Lu An would say that.
"What does Master Lu mean by this, why can't I understand?" Ning Qi said with a blank expression.
"Do you know when I last heard your name?" Lu An suddenly said something from the past.
Ning Qi shook his head directly, how could he know about such a thing?
Lu An continued with a smile, "The last time I heard your name was because you and Hu Yong fought for power in the Great Zhou, you are the imperial faction, and Hu Yong is the old school, you are in the military camp, openly fighting with Hu Yong for power, and want to replace him as the number one in the army, fortunately, your eldest brother Ning Zheng has a brain, and he did not help you, but chose to support Hu Yong." β
As soon as he mentioned this matter, Ning Qi instantly became extremely embarrassed, he naturally knew the relationship between Lu An and Hu Yong, the key was that he tossed it this time, and he didn't get any support from others, not even his eldest brother.
He was very angry, because he felt that people like Hu Yong were already old and unworthy of continuing to be the number one in the army.
But in the end, he failed in the struggle for power, which was also something he didn't expect, and now he may have thought of some of the reasons, maybe Lu An was working behind his back.
However, Lu An's next words surprised him again.
"Do you know why you lost? Do you know why Hu Yong was able to become a pillar in Daqin for so many years? You don't know any of this, because you are still young and young, and you are a monk, a monk who can take the head of a person among the armies, and you are a monk who wants to become a general, not everyone is as powerful as you, even if you are besieged by dozens of people, you will not die. β
"Ordinary people hold swords, in the face of several enemies, they may not be able to stop, a battle, there are tens of thousands of soldiers involved, even hundreds of thousands, each time the casualties may exceed fifty percent, and you survive every time, you survive because you have strong strength, those ordinary soldiers can survive not by strength, but by luck. β
"But this luck doesn't follow him for a lifetime, he can survive once, twice, can you guarantee that he can have a third time? A general who doesn't know how to cherish the lives of a soldier can become a good general?"
"You always feel that Hu Yong is too cautious, good at defense and not good at attacking, and always feel that he is old-fashioned and not suitable for the current Daqin, in fact, he is just cherishing the lives of his subordinates. β
Lu An's words instantly made Ning Qi freeze in place, and the shock in his heart rose wave after wave, and it didn't stop for a long time.
"The lives of ordinary people seem to be worthless compared to your naturally precious lives, but in fact, their lives can survive, and they are much more expensive than you! Because the difficulty of surviving and living well is much higher than yours, no matter when, I hope you respect the lives of those ordinary people!"
"There is reincarnation in the way of heaven, and there is retribution in cause and effect!"
Lu An added at the end.
Ning Qi nodded silently.
