Chapter 6 Lujiabao
Lujiabao is located in the northern area of Jiangcheng, covering an area of 3 million square meters, and is scattered with ancestral shrines, residences, commercial areas, practice rooms, cultivation towers, library pavilions, martial arts arenas, alchemy rooms, alchemy rooms and meeting halls.
The streets and alleys are horizontal, seemingly simple, but in fact they are interlocking, with the most central ancestral shrine as the axis, radiating all kinds of pavilions and pavilions, forming a mysterious defensive array.
Once a foreign enemy invades, the people of the Lu family can activate the defensive magic circle through the ancestral temple, which can not only block the enemy from the magic circle, but also besiege and strangle the enemies inside the magic circle.
Entering the main gate, the three gilded characters of Lujiabao came into view, Li Mubai secretly sighed, compared to the Sword Valley, Lujiabao is more like the residence of the legendary sword cultivator, look at this magnificent plaque, and then look at the magnificent buildings scattered in this pavilion, only three bamboo houses in the Sword Valley looks particularly shabby.
The legendary sword cultivator Li Xingchen has no shortage of rare treasures, in his treasure library, he can sell tens of thousands of spirit stones if he takes a treasure out of it, but Li Xingchen doesn't like to be cumbersome, there is a place to stack treasures, a place to live, and a place to practice, which is Li Xingchen's highest requirement for architectural design.
In Li Xingchen's words, with that idle time, I might as well go to Sword Valley with the fairy.
Li Mubai was invited into Lujiabao as a VIP, Aunt Qing led the way, Lu Mingyue and Li Mubai were in parallel, and the four life-threatening guards barely supported the injured body to follow behind, and under Lu Mingyue's instructions, they went to Lujiabao's alchemy pharmacy to find a cultivator who was good at medical skills for treatment.
Lu Mingyue is the granddaughter of Lu Haomiao, the contemporary head of Lujiabao, whose parents died early because of an accident, Lu Haomiao pinned his thoughts on Lu Mingyue for his eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, and has always regarded him as a pearl in his palm.
The most beloved granddaughter was assassinated in Jiangcheng, Lu Haomiao was very angry, Jiangcheng is a place where the Lu family has been operating for thousands of years, how many sects have declined or even disappeared under the ruthless erosion of the years, only Lujiabao has always survived safely.
Although today's Lujiabao is still not the largest Xiuzhen family in Jiangcheng, the ordinary Xiuzhen family and Xiuzhen sect definitely don't have the courage to assassinate the granddaughter of the Lu family in Jiangcheng.
Lu Haomiao already had some speculations in his heart, but there was no evidence, and Lu Haomiao couldn't be openly angry.
Originally, Li Mubai was going to take the spirit stone and leave, if the matter of Lujiabao was too involved, the more likely it would be to have unexpected changes, Li Mubai didn't want his journey to the cultivation realm to be tied to Lujiabao.
But it backfired, Lu Haomiao heard that it was a sword cultivator from Sword Valley who helped Lu Mingyue repel the assassins, young and promising, and powerful, so he came directly to Li Mubai and warmly invited Li Mubai to the dinner.
Li Mubai couldn't push it, so he had to agree to Lu Haomiao's invitation, because it was still early, Lu Haomiao arranged for Lu Mingyue to take Li Mubai to walk around Lujiabao first to familiarize himself with the environment.
Although Li Mubai only came to help because of the thousand spirit stones, Lu Mingyue was very grateful to Li Mubai, if it weren't for the suspended three-foot Qinglian sword, Lu Mingyue would have become a headless corpse with a tragic death at this moment.
It's a lifesaver!
Aunt Qing stood beside Lu Haomiao and said worriedly: "Uncle, although Li Mubai saved Mingyue's life, it cannot be ruled out that he is an accomplice of the assassin Chen Guang, I am a little worried that the other party will have a deeper plan." ”
Lu Haomiao's eyes were like torches, and his speech style was very different from when he warmly invited Li Mubai just now, looking profound and sophisticated: "Since he saved Mingyue's life, in a short period of time, it will not cause harm to Mingyue, as for the deeper plan, it is nothing more than that there are other families or sects that want to annex Lujiabao, this kind of danger, Lujiabao is not the first time to encounter it in these years, wait and see what happens." ”
Aunt Qing is still a little worried: "Mingyue, this girl is not deeply involved in the world, I am worried that she will be deceived by Li Mubai, Mingyue is the granddaughter of Lu Jiabao and the candidate of the next family, if Li Mubai is really a spy of other families or sects, it will be effortless to steal the foundation of Lu Jiabao." ”
Lu Haomiao said: "Questioning is the vigilance that you must have as a high-level member of the Lu family, your worries are not unreasonable, I remember you said that Li Mubai's weapon is a three-foot Qinglian sword." ”
Aunt Qing nodded and said, "That's right, the hilt and scabbard are all cyan, and the hilt is carved with lotus patterns." ”
Lu Haomiao said: "Sword Valley Li Mubai, three-foot Qinglian Sword, at the age of eighteen, he can have this realm of kendo cultivation, just like the kendo genius of the year." ”
Aunt Qing suddenly remembered a wild and unruly sword cultivator, and her words were a little shocked: "Legendary sword cultivator Li Xingchen, his name is Li Mubai, could it be that he is Li Xingchen's son? No, no, since Su Bai died, Li Xingchen has vowed not to marry again, how can he have a son?"
Lu Haomiao said: "It doesn't have to be a son to take his surname, I once heard that Li Xingchen adopted a baby eighteen years ago, if my guess is right, Li Mubai is that baby." ”
Aunt Qing said: "Li Xingchen, Su Bai, Li Mubai, Sword Valley, Three-foot Qinglian Sword, these clues are added together, and Li Mubai's identity is very likely to be Li Xingchen's righteous son or descendant disciple." ”
Lu Haomiao said: "Let's try it again at the dinner, if he really has a father-son or master-apprentice relationship with Li Xingchen, he is the best husband and wife candidate for Mingyue." ”
Li Mubai didn't know at this time that Lu Haomiao, the head of Lujiabao's family, had already regarded him as one of the candidates for his daughter-in-law, if Li Mubai knew Lu Haomiao's thoughts, at this moment, he would definitely leave Lujiabao without hesitation.
His brain was pumped to be Lu Jiabao's grandson-in-law at this time, although this Lu Mingyue is a leader among his peers regardless of his appearance and family character, but the Lu family is too big and involved, I am afraid that Li Mubai spends his time every day either solving family problems or on the way to solving family problems.
Lu Mingyue enthusiastically introduced the environment of Lujiabao to Li Mubai, in terms of treating people and things, the demeanor of the granddaughter of Lu Mingyue's big family was fully revealed, and the result of a good education was to give people a comfortable feeling like a spring breeze.
Half an hour later, Lu Mingyue successfully aroused Li Mubai's favor with her temperament, and Li Mubai thought that this Lu Mingyue was a friend who could be made.
Coming to the bottom of a towering tower, Lu Mingyue introduced: "Brother Mu Bai, this is the tallest building in Lujiabao, the cultivation tower, on the top of the tower, there is a stargazing platform, standing on the stargazing platform, you can overlook the entire Lujiabao, there is a unique style, are you interested in going up to experience it?"
Although it is easy for a cultivator to fly in the sky and look down on the panoramic view of the ground, sometimes, flying in the sky and looking high and far away are two different feelings.
Li Mubai threw out the flying sword, saw the wind rise, jumped slightly, and landed steadily on the flying sword, while Lu Mingyue was the moon blade used for combat, carrying his delicate body and flying to the stargazing platform at the top of the cultivation tower.
The two of them flew very fast in the sky, and landed on the stargazing platform in a few breaths.
Lu Mingyue opened her arms, as if hugging the sky: "Brother Mubai, this is my favorite place, away from the noise of Jiangcheng and away from the disputes of the Lu family, it is quiet and inactive, and it is easier for me to further my cultivation." ”
Li Mubai played with the flying sword, looking down, the panorama of Lujiabao came into view, perhaps because of the different angles, Lujiabao was three points grander than when he saw it just now.
Lu Mingyue closed her eyes slightly, her toes tapped, advancing or retreating, as if there was a rule, her hands sometimes opened and embraced, and sometimes closed her heart.
This is a special dance step.
Li Mubai was slightly surprised, Lu Mingyue had already entered a special state of mind of epiphany at this time, for cultivators, this is a very rare opportunity, when they have an epiphany, the bottlenecks and difficulties encountered in cultivation on weekdays will simplify the difficulty of comprehension dozens of times in the state of mind of epiphany!
"This Lu Mingyue, like the daughter of the chosen one, actually entered the epiphany state of mind so easily. ”
Li Mubai has practiced in Sword Valley for eighteen years, with the personal guidance of legendary sword cultivators, and has never entered an epiphany state of mind.
Just a few seconds ago, Lu Mingyue was still sighing about life, and a few seconds later, Lu Mingyue entered an epiphany state.
Although jealousy can't be talked about, there must be envy, Li Mubai sat on the ground, the three-foot green lotus sword behind him suddenly came out of the sheath, and the crystal clear sword body faintly seemed to have a cyan streamer.
Li Mubai pinched a sword trick, and the three-foot Qinglian sword turned into two, two, four, and four, and was stationed in eight directions to protect Lu Mingyue.
The epiphany state of mind is a rare opportunity for cultivators, and during the epiphany, they must not be disturbed, otherwise they will lose all their efforts.
Li Mubai didn't know if there would be other Lu family cultivators coming to the stargazing platform, so he simply directly used the Qinglian Sword to lay down the Bafang Sword Formation, unless the other party had the strength to break the formation with brute force, otherwise the defensive power of the Bafang Sword Formation was enough to last until Lu Mingyue's epiphany ended.
Worrying was not superfluous, just as Li Mubai was about to continue to condense the Qinglian Sword Technique, the three Lujiabao cultivators also arrived at the stargazing platform, and were blocked by the Bafang Sword Array, and the faces of the three Lujiabao cultivators were shining with anger.
"What do you mean, and why are you keeping us out?"
Li Mubai didn't have the slightest interest in the cultivators who were shouting outside the Bafang Sword Array, the eldest daughter of the family was comprehending the cultivation in an epiphany state of mind, but as a cultivator of the same clan, she deliberately made a loud noise here.
Either this cultivator doesn't understand what the epiphany state of mind is, or this cultivator is Lu Mingyue's hidden enemy in the family.
Li Mubai boldly guessed that the assassination of Lu Mingyue in the tavern that made you laugh was likely to come from within the Lu family.
After all, the eldest granddaughter is deeply loved by the head of the family, and no one knows who the inheritance of the Lu family will eventually fall on.
But all the patriarch candidates in Lujiabao knew one thing, if they couldn't let Lu Mingyue out, they would never be able to get the approval of the current head of the family, Lu Haomiao.
Whether it was for the Lu family or for the position of the patriarch, Lujiabao had a bloody storm against Lu Mingyue.
Unavoidable!
