Twilight snow.

A nameless town.

The town is sparsely populated, and the cold and dry wind is howling in the face, blowing people's faces painfully.

An old willow tree made a hoarse salsa sound.

Inside a tavern.

Charcoal basins are lit everywhere, the house is warm like spring, and the people are noisy.

Lu Bei sat in the seat by the window, raising his glass and pouring himself a drink, and there were whispers of some drinkers in his ears, and he couldn't help but feel that the world had changed.

He didn't expect that more than ten years later, Yang Xidu, the registered disciple he had accepted, was already about to get married.

The marriage object is the eldest daughter of Dugu, who is also one of the Eight Pillars of the Zhou Dynasty.

The Zhou Dynasty was built by the Yuwen clan on behalf of the Northern Wei Dynasty...

Well, after Lu Bei heard it, his face was only a little weird, and he didn't care anymore.

"It's time to go to Chang'an. ”

Thinking of this, Lu Bei took out the scattered silver taels, remitted the accounts at the shopkeeper, and then Shi Shiran walked out of this tavern.

In a short time, the tall figure disappeared into the vast snowfield.

Changan.

Due to the Ding Revolution before the year, Chang'an City Street, which should be bustling and full of people, is sparsely populated.

Only occasionally a richly decorated carriage hurried through the wide but deserted streets.

The snow on the street has long been cleared by the soldiers levied by the official office in the city, and the exposed bluestone slabs are bright and clear.

Lu Bei looked leisurely, and walked calmly to the small and square of Suzaku Street.

Stopped in front of a high-rise compound, his indifferent gaze stayed on the door, and he hung the word "Lu Fu" and smiled slightly.

Three years in Dongsheng Shenzhou and seven years in the Netherworld, roughly calculated, but it has been more than ten years1

The two Zhu doors of the Lu Mansion were wide open.

Lu Bei was about to step in, but he ran into a girl wearing a fine brocade robe of Yunyan and a cloak of brocade fur.

The girl is holding her thin waist with both hands, directing the two family members to be busy.

Holding two pots of carefully pruned plums in his arms, he carefully looked at the bottom of the porch.

The girl turned around and saw Lu Bei, her eyes were stunned, and then with a look of surprise on her face, she said tentatively: "Childe?"

Lu Bei smiled faintly: "You are Su'er, you have grown so big in a blink of an eye." ”

The girl named Su'er was clearly a five or six-year-old girl ten years ago.

It has always been brought up by Qin Jian, one of the four swordsmen in the north of the landing.

Hearing this, the girl Su'er finally confirmed, so she happily ran to the mansion and shouted, "Childe is back..."

Lu Bei shook his head with a smile and walked into the hospital with his legs raised.

Flower Hall.

Lu Bei sat on a pear blossom wooden chair, holding a teacup in his hand, listening to the words of the four pretty maids in the first place, and I said a word, and he spoke from time to time or asked, or answered.

At this time, Shu Jianqing coughed, got up and walked into the inner room, took out a wooden box with exquisite workmanship, and said in a clear voice: "Childe, this is sent by a Heavenly Monarch from the Heavenly Court Thunder Department. ”

Mei Jian took over with a smile, "That Divine Monarch seems to want Gongzi to serve in the Heavenly Court Thunder Department!"

"Oh," Lu Bei frowned, reached out to take the delicate wooden box, and opened it.

I found that there was a Heavenly Court Talisman inside.

Lu Bei held it in his palm, only to feel that the thunder origin under his control had a faint hint of abnormality, his face showed a thoughtful look, and under the gaze of the four girls of the book and sword, he smiled faintly: "Wait a few years." ”

Before you know it, time passes.

Seeing that the New Year is approaching, Chang'an City is gradually becoming more noisy.

Lu Bei rested in Fuzhong for a few days.

On this day, someone outside reported that Yuan Shoucheng was visiting.

Lu Bei was busy going out to greet him, and introduced Yuan Shoucheng into the flower hall, and the two sat down as guests, and a maidservant girl served two fragrant teas.

Yuan Shoucheng slowly looked at Lu Bei for a long time, his eyes were surprised, and he was silent for a long time, and then he sighed: "It seems that I haven't seen you for more than ten years, Lu Daoyou has been immortal!"

Lu Bei smiled and said casually: "In the next micro end of the Tao, it is not as advanced as Yuan Daoyou's Taoism." ”

Yuan Shoucheng waved his hand and didn't speak for a long time.

The two of them lightly revealed the matter of cultivation, and said a few more words.

I saw Yuan Shoucheng looking at Lu Bei with clear eyes, and said solemnly: "Since Lu Daoyou already has such a Taoist, there is one thing, and the poor Daoist will not hide it." ”

Yuan Daoyou's words are fine. ”

Lu Bei retracted the smile on his face and said.

"Lu Daoyou, do you know why you want to set foot in the mundane with the body of an immortal?"

Yuan Shoucheng asked.

Lu Bei's eyes moved slightly, and he listened to Yuan Shoucheng's words.

"Avoid trouble. ”

Yuan Shoucheng spit out two words with a solemn expression.

"In the way of Yuan Daoyou, it still needs to be like this?"

Lu Bei took a sip of tea and asked in a moment.

"It's a long story..."Yuan Shoucheng waved his hand to isolate the surrounding space with mana, and said slowly: "Lu Daoyou has obtained the human race, the inheritance of the Huoyun Cave, and the poor Dao will not hide it from Daoyou." ”

Yuan Shoucheng said, and slowly and methodically narrated from the beginning.

It turned out that Yuan Shoucheng was a person in the era of the Five Emperors, and he used the name of Wu Zhiqi to make chaos on the Huai River.

One of the five emperors at that time, Dayu was still controlling the water and had not yet become enlightened.

Although Dayu has the help of some capable people, he is still not Wu Zhiqi's opponent.

In the end, it alarmed Ying Long under the seat of Emperor Xuanyuan.

Yuan Shoucheng showed admiration on his face, and recalled: "Ying Longdao is profound, and his magical powers are outstanding. Poor Dao was not Ying Long's opponent back then, and was captured by him. Later, he was interpreted by Ying Long. ”

So, the poor Dao felt the kindness of the Dragon Dao in his heart, and he happily promised to help Dayu control the water, which was extremely smooth at first, but he didn't want to follow, but he offended the nine unfathomable powers. ”

Lu Bei knew that the following must be the key, "Where are the nine powers?"

"The nine sons of Zulong. ”

Yuan Shoucheng's face was stunned, and even his voice seemed to be a little lower.

It is rumored that Zu Long gave birth to nine sons, and these nine sons are Prison Niu, Jianxi, Mocking Wind, Pu Prison, Foxy, Baxia, Raccoon, Negative Dog, and Kiss.

"The dragon gave birth to nine sons, each with its own differences. The nine sons of Zulong were greedy and cruel in temperament, and at that time, they held their own ways and made waves, causing chaos and desolation in the land... In the end, due to poverty, this generation was suppressed by the emperor himself for 50,000 years. This generation didn't dare to complain about the emperor, but since then he has complained about the poor road..."

Speaking of this, Yuan Shoucheng smiled bitterly, "Later, Poor Dao was terrified in his heart, and begged His Majesty Emperor Xuanyuan, and received his hints and guidance, as long as he found the Nine Doubts before the Nine Sons got out of trouble, they would be able to Yongzhen Nine Sons." ”

"But the Nine Doubts Ding has long been missing! The poor road has no choice but to hide his name and secretly visit the location of the Nine Doubts in the past few years. ”

After hearing such causes and consequences, Lu Bei's eyes flashed, and he suddenly said, "I see." ”

He finally understood why Yuan Shoucheng went to Lingling County back then.

In the future of the Tang Dynasty, the reason why the first god stick of Journey to the West, the Akajiri horse monkey, wants the cat to be in Chang'an City, which is a humane place, is precisely to avoid disaster!

According to the records of Journey to the West, Yuan Shoucheng had to eat a carp containing the essence blood of the dragon clan every day.

With Lu Beidu, this move is to rely on a trace of dragon essence blood, so that he can use the secret technique of bloodline to perceive the traces of the nine sons of the ancestral dragon and take precautions in advance.

In order to prevent being detected by the nine sons, of course, this dragon clan essence blood can't take too much.

Thinking of the nine sons of the ancestral dragon, Lu Bei put down the teacup, and his face was slightly solemn.

According to the ancient records, the nine stupid sons of the ancestral dragon family... Those with the lowest Dao practice are all Three-Source Golden Immortals.

I can't say it, there will be Taiyi's generation.

This generation did not dare to complain to the emperor for suppressing them, and the humble Yuan Shoucheng became their punching bag.

Thinking about the power of the nine Dao Lines at least in the Golden Immortal Realm, always thinking about how to take revenge on himself, how could Yuan Shoucheng not be afraid?

"Fellow Daoist, when are these nine sons out of trouble?"

Lu Bei asked in a condensed voice.

"Seven hundred years from now!"

Yuan Shoucheng said astringently.

Lu Bei frowned, and said in his heart, sure enough.

At that time, it was the Journey to the West that had just ended, and the Baolian Lantern Tribulation had not yet begun.

Lu Bei thought of this and smiled inexplicably.

The Lotus Lantern Tribulation... I don't think there will be.

Lu Bei glanced at Yuan Shoucheng deeply, "At that time, Lu can only block two or three people for Daoyou at most... Yuan Daoyou still needs to plan early. ”

Yuan Shoucheng sighed: "Lu Dao is friendly and poor Dao is comprehended, but unfortunately among the nine sons, there are three people in Taiyi. ”

As soon as these words came out, Lu Bei's heart was awe-inspiring.

The three Taiyi Golden Immortals are indeed tricky.

In the Five Emperors City, he had faced the power of the Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Seeing Lu Bei's expression change slightly, Yuan Shoucheng's beautiful appearance became even more depressed, and he said in a deep voice: "If Lu Daoyou really has the heart to help me, he can help Poor Dao to win the Nine Doubts when the time comes." With this treasure, it is not difficult to deter the nine sons of the ancestral dragon. ”

Lu Bei thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed.

Yuan Shoucheng's face returned to indifference, and said, "Do your best, listen to the destiny of heaven... When the real situation is not harmonious, the poor road hides in Chang'an City and does not come out, does this generation dare to enter Chang'an?"

Hearing this, Lu Bei was silent for a while.

Suddenly, he had a strong premonition... Most of these nine doubts cannot be found.

Even if there is such a variable as him, Jiu Suspicious Ding will not fall into the hands of Lao Yuan satisfactorily.

Without him, Yuan Shoucheng is the curtain puller of the Journey to the West catastrophe.
