Chapter 229: The Old Man of the Wu Clan
readx;? The side of the road leading to Hangzhou is also covered with snow, and the shriveled trunks of the trees shiver in the cold wind, adding a bit of gloomy feeling out of thin air. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Lu Feng sat on the horse and gently rubbed his hands and asked casually, "How is the ship in your workshop doing now?"
A magistrate hurriedly ran forward a few steps. Nodding his head, he said, "My lord, it's freezing now." I can't start work. The workshops were all dug dozens of miles outside the city, and the keels of the ships were on the sea, and now the weather was too cold for the craftsmen to get into the water. Only when the spring is warm can we continue to work. ā
Lu Feng let out an 'oh' sound, and lowered his eyes weakly. He muttered, "In this way, Your Majesty really has a heart. Drove a few of us out of the capital so early, I'm afraid that we would start a fire in Yingtianfu again. Well, let's celebrate the New Year here...... Well, Zhang Long, you take your brothers to the workshop every day to inspect it, don't let people steal the equipment. Just burn the wood, I'll rest in the yamen, it's okay, don't disturb me. Got it?"
The day before yesterday, he was still injured and dying, but now he is like a dragon and a tiger, Zhang Long promised.
He looked at Lu Feng a little puzzled, and thought: "If you go to the workshop outside the city and walk around, you can also distract your ancestors, he is so bored in the yamen until the beginning of spring, I'm afraid he will get sick." Presumably, the cultivation of the master is much more advanced than ours, and if he can sit there and practice for three months, he may be angry. Shizu is really Shizu. ā
A group of more than 100 people walked towards the gate of Hangzhou, and Lu Feng sat on the horse and posed with his eyes closed and contemplative. Where the shipbuilding workshop was, he didn't care at all how far it was from the sea, and he was not interested in knowing at all. He only needs to ensure that the treasure ship is delivered on time and in quality, and his task is accomplished. Supervising such a thing, Zhang Long and they are enough to deal with it, Zhu Di sent him out of Beijing, not to ask him to supervise the construction site, but to let Zhu Deng and them rest assured. "Maybe when the emperor and his royal driver personally recruited, I secretly returned to Yingtianfu, and no one paid attention to it. Who will tell the Emperor about my movements? Jinyiwei? Just kidding...... Hey, I'm going to have a good talk with Xiao Lizi. Wasn't it my strong sponsorship that he had the opportunity to have such a good opportunity?"
A rickety figure walked out of the woods by the side of the road, this is a strange old man with deep eyes, a big eagle hooked nose, a scorched face, bent over, two hands hanging directly under his knees, and his whole body swaying with every step of his breath. Look at the clothes he was wearing, I don't know what age his clothes are, the form is weird, not to mention, it is so tattered that I can't tell it. The outfit of any beggar on the street could probably be considered fancy compared to his.
He trembled and walked slowly towards Lu Feng's horse team, and then fell in front of Lu Feng's horse head. His arm flicked a little hard, and there was a muffled 'sigh' sound in his throat, and his body twitched for a while, as if he had passed out.
The horse that Lu Feng sat down neighed softly, and automatically turned in a different direction and walked around the old man's side. This horse with excellent blood, legend has it that he is a descendant of a Western sweat-blooded horse, and looked at this old man on the ground proudly, as if he were looking at a pile of garbage. It had the right to despise the old man, because one of the stirrups on his body was worth a hundred taels of silver, enough for such an old man to eat and drink for more than ten years.
Lu Feng looked at the old man on the ground, the old man's eyes were half-open, and there was a faint dead air in them. Lu Feng had an illusion that this old man seemed to have seen through thousands of years of wind and rain, and the cycle of life and death was as natural as falling leaves. Naturally, Lu Feng smiled strangely, he was very surprised by this abrupt thought that came to his heart. Can this old man, this old man who clearly asks for food, make himself feel natural?
Several Hangzhou Mansion headhunters rushed over and were about to carry the old man and throw him to the side of the road. For example, there are still a lot of displaced people today, and I don't know how many people will freeze to death every day in the winter, there is no need to delay the trip of the minister of the Qincha for such an 'old dog', and disturb the Yaxing of the Qincha lord
"You, you and you, take off the padded jackets on the three of you, and put them on him. Did anyone bring a wine bag with him? Pour some wine into this old man and bring it back to the city to entertain him...... Someone in the government office must clean up the flowers and trees, right? When spring begins, give him a place in the Hangzhou government office and let him take care of the flowers and plants. ā
Hangzhou Futai immediately gestured and scolded a few catchers who were named by Lu Feng: "Hurry up and follow the force...... Don't you do what Lord Lu said?Are you all stupid? Why don't you hurry up and take off your clothes...... That Master Zhang Wuben knows that you are a famous drunkard in Hangzhou City, you must have old wine on you, hurry up and take it out. Hurry up, hurry up, are you all stupid? The carriage came and carried the old man up quickly. ā
A mouthful of liquor poured into his stomach, the old man groaned, and slowly he opened his eyes, glanced at Lu Feng, and asked weakly, "You want to save me, this old waste?"
Lu Feng looked at him and nodded coldly: "Even if it's a wild dog, if it doesn't hinder me, if I'm in a good mood, I'll save it." Besides, you have more lives than a wild dog...... I, Lu Feng, have killed countless people, and countless people in the world don't know how many people wish I died early. But I can still do it once in a while to save people. My words can let you live in peace for many years, and this deal is not for me. ā
The old man giggled, didn't let those headhunters carry him into the carriage, squinted at Lu Feng and said, "You told the truth, you are indeed a good person." If according to the way of heaven, you are a bastard who should be killed. ā
The officials of Hangzhou Mansion were so frightened that they were all weak, oh my God, this old guy is crazy. He scolded the commander of the Jinyi Guard in front of him for being a bastard, isn't this going to affect them?
Lu Feng didn't laugh angrily, he nodded and said, "That's right, I, Lu Feng, am a bastard, a bastard who eats people and doesn't spit out bones." I have been a local official for almost four years, and I have not done any good deeds, cheating, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, I have done everything. Pass. Sir, you say the way of heaven. Hehe, what is the impermanence of the way of heaven and the way of heaven? Good people have good rewards? I bah, in this world, wicked people like me can live well, good people? Good people have long since died!"
The old man was stunned for a moment, and two fine lights suddenly shot out of his eyes. He nodded and said, "That's right, the good guys are dead. Hahaha, why don't I understand that this world is originally for the wicked. Hahaha, I understand, I understand, it turns out that only the wicked can eat it, if I had understood this truth earlier. Hehe, where will it ...... Haha, I see!" he punched the head catcher that was close to him. Jumping up, more than three feet high, he giggled and floated towards the woods like a ghost.
Zhang Long slashed at the back of his heart with a palm, and shouted sharply in his mouth: "What a bold thief, dare to play this game in front of grandpa?
The old man slipped in the air and turned to face Zhang Long's palm. A mysterious green glow flashed in his eyes, like the finest emerald. His two hands clasped together in an extremely mysterious gesture, and then several heavy words came out of his mouth: "Poppy...... Zhu ...... Nest. ā
Zhang Long's whole body was shaken, and the palm wind that split out disappeared without a trace out of thin air, and his body jumped up more than ten feet high, and then his ass fell heavily to the ground, as if someone had kicked him heavily in the ass. The old man's gesture was a minute, and he saw the space around his body twist around him, and his body disappeared without a trace.
Lu Feng looked dumbfounded at the direction where the old man disappeared, this was clearly the occult power of the Wu Clan's local means, the Wu Clan's spell and seal combination. But should the people of the Wu Clan have died a long time ago? Could it be that there are still members of the Wu Clan left in the world? Then this old man found his head, I'm afraid it's not for no reason? Since he learned the Wu Clan's stunt in Wuyue Haizi, the true element in his body has all been converted into the energy of the chaotic state, if this old man is a master of the Wu Clan, he will definitely be able to sense the right thing in his body.
Even the old monster Dan Jingsheng, the Ancient Shadow Master, and even the old monster Shui Yuanzi, they couldn't clearly detect the abnormalities in their bodies, but for the senior masters of the Wu Clan, they were just a novice who had just realized the power of chaos, and in front of them, their strength had no hidden value at all, and they could see it at a glance.
Lu Feng's face became heavy in an instant, and he shouted in a low voice: "Go, this old guy is afraid that he is not a human being, but he is afraid that he is a ghost." Let's hurry into town, old fellow, hey. He looked at the pigmented magistrates, whipped their whips and struck them heavily on the buttocks of the horses, and a burst of snowflakes carried away with the brocade guards. One by one, the magistrates got into the carriage and the sedan chair, and ordered the servants to escort them to the city.
Late at night, snowflakes fall quietly on the surface of the West Lake's thin ice. These officials of Hangzhou Mansion are very good at patting on the back, directly on the edge of the West Lake, Lu Feng found an extremely elegant fine house to live in, and outside the road is the most famous restaurants on the edge of the West Lake, and on the lake facing the fine house, there are three of the most famous painting boats, and the most famous girls on the West Lake are also concentrated on those three boats. In order to curry favor with Lu Feng, these magistrates and even local tycoons are sparing their capital.
In the bedroom arranged for himself, Lu Feng drove everyone out. He looked at the West Lake outside the window, and looked at the painting boat in the center of the lake in the distance, where the lights were not shining and the sound of silk and bamboo, and he couldn't help but sigh in a low voice. "What the hell is that old guy doing? Is he a senior of the Wu clan? What is the matter with what he is looking for me? What does he mean by those inexplicable words? Good guy? Wicked man? It seems that he has only just understood for the first time that only the wicked can take advantage of him, and he is really interesting. ā
Feeling a little thirsty, Lu Feng turned around and grabbed the teapot on the table. I don't know when the old man entered the room and was sitting on the edge of the table, looking at him with a smile on his face. Look at his mouth full of oil, it seems that he is still there, and he just came over after eating a white meal. However, Lu Feng believed that this old guy could eat white food, and the place was the kitchen of this house, and it seemed that there were still a lot of dishes that had not been touched and served.
Lu Feng slowly stretched out his hand, and the jade ring on his thumb flashed with a breathtaking cold light. "This senior, I don't know, what do I have to do with a kid?" Lu Feng felt a chill in his heart, he had already cultivated to Yuanying, and he was already a master in the cultivation world, except for those old monsters, he could basically walk sideways. But he didn't even know when the old man entered the room, and the man was lost.
The old man grabbed the teapot. With a grin, he poured it into his mouth, ignoring the fact that the tea he had just cut could burn off his throat. He looked at Lu Feng for a long time, and the strange green light flashed in his eyes again, and after a long time, he nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad." Sure enough, it is worthy of being a qi refiner who has cultivated our Wu Clan's wonderful method, and in just a few years, he can actually practice into the natal primordial infant of your Dao Sect, and you can be regarded as very motivated. ā
Before Lu Feng could answer, the old man had already said to himself: "Originally, the two of us were the only remaining descendants of the Wu clan in this world...... Not counting me, you're the heir of the Wu clan...... I, Xia Jie, am the old man of the Wu clan. It's not a lineage. I wanted to examine your mind to see if you were worthy of our witch clan's mind, but so. The more I look at it, the more angry I become, you guy, I've been with you for more than three years, and the things you do are just. ā
Xia Jie asked, "Can you tell me what you are trying to do by cultivating so many potential qi refiners privately?" He looked at Lu Feng and smiled incomprehensibly, the green light in his eyes became even stronger, as if a cat's eyes made Lu Feng's entire body cold, where could he move at all? He chuckled and shook his head and said, "Don't try to lie in front of me, I Xia Jie has a very strange but very useful method to distinguish whether others are lying or not, you, the commander of the Ming Dynasty's Jinyi Guard, can't hide it from me." ā
Lu Feng looked at his eyes that radiated a strong light, and understood that he was not lying, and his tone was full of strong confidence. In a trance, Lu Feng didn't seem to see an old man in his last years, but a young and strong young man. He thought helplessly for a long time, and finally said in a deep voice: "Revenge...... For no other purpose, I've spent my life trying to get revenge...... I joined the Yan Wangfu so that the power of the Yan Wangfu could allow me to show my power. ā
He licked his lips and told everything very frankly. "Originally, I thought that in Yanjing City, I could use the power of Yanwang Mansion to privately establish a small monastic sect. But I didn't expect that the Yan Wangfu would collapse the imperial court, and I actually became an important minister of the imperial court, and I had such conditions in my hands, and it was easier to form a secret sect privately. I just want to raise a group of Qi Refiners and let them become my team, and when they succeed in cultivating, I will make them shock the world. ā
After saying something for half an hour, Lu Feng confessed his state of mind so frankly for the first time in more than three years. He felt that in front of this person who called himself Xia Jie, he had no room to hide at all, and the green light in his eyes could see through everything about him. Xia Jie smiled and nodded lightly, "This is the truth, you have the shadow of the Huanglong Zhenren's cultivation method, you are the disciple of the One Yuan Sect he founded, there is no doubt about it." Huanglong Zhenren, the so-called Twelve True Immortals of the Teachings, I have seen them all, and they have fought secretly...... Isn't it interesting, you fortunately didn't go to the Kunlun faction to ask Kunlun for help, otherwise Kunlun would definitely pretend to be a desperate posture to help you search for enemies, but your heart would have been happy for a long time. ā
Lu Feng frowned, and simply sat opposite Xia Jie, and said in a deep voice: "They are all Orthodox disciples, I'm afraid there is no such thing?"
Xia Jie shrugged his shoulders and crossed Erlang's legs and smiled: "What do you know? According to legend, Huanglong Zhenren is one of the twelve true immortals who expound the teaching, and they are all disciples of the original guy, but in fact, they are false. Huang Long, this kid was a boy who raised dragons in the Wu clan at that time, and he inadvertently obtained the remnants of the Wu clan's deepest mental method, and created his own cultivation method of the Yiyuan Sect. He didn't have a monastic time. likes to hook up with the gang of thieves in Kunlun, so that everyone in the world thinks he is from Kunlun, but in fact he is a member of the Wu clan. ā
Lu Feng was stunned, and Xia Jie continued to laugh and scold: "You have all been deceived. But hehe, how many years ago has it been since the battle of gods and demons? Who will remember these things? I'm afraid that in the whole world, I'm afraid that only I, the old ghost who doesn't dare to ask for the underworld and the earth, still remembers a little bit? Huanglong is commensurate with those real people and great immortal brothers who expound the teachings, but the self-created Yiyuan Sect is more powerful than Kunlun, and some of Kunlun's descendants are some of the broad-minded masters. Hearing that your Yiyuan Sect has fallen, I'm afraid they will have to celebrate with wine. ā
'Bump'. The teacup in Lu Feng's hand exploded to pieces, and his face was full of cold chills.
Xia Jie shook his head and sighed: "Young man, hehe, like me back then, I don't know how to do it, I always think that Lao Tzu is the first in the world, and nothing can stop me." You think about it too. You're only a Yuanying now, and you're only a Yuanying achievement, and you're going to have to practice to the Distraction Realm, I'm afraid it will take you a few hundred years? When you reach the Distraction Period, I'm afraid that your enemies will all reach the Void Transformation Realm? What are you going to do to fight them? Your total of 897 Huanglongmen Dimen people in Chengdu are now a total of 355 believers, and how long will it take for them to truly become Qi Refiners?"
"When they can go into battle, you don't know what your enemies will look like. In particular, it is like doing business to strengthen the monastic portal. You have to have capital to make a profit. It's like if you can have a famous mountain and river as a base in Emei Mountain, the Kunlun faction has already sent masters to protect a few remnants of the Emei Sword Sect to rebuild the mountain gate. There is no way for Tai Daozi to occupy Mount Emei. ā
"If you have a famous mountain and a big river, hehe, you can build countless flying swords, refine countless elixirs, and the disciples of the sect only need to receive one or two thousand, among which there are 1,000 people who can practice into Yuan Ying, it is a very terrifying force, it is estimated that Kunlun wants to compare with you, and you have to weigh one or two. If ten disciples can enter the virtual realm, Kunlun, those old ghosts who remain in the human world are not counted as their ordinary disciples, I am afraid that they will not dare to compete with your portal. ā
"If you can have three or five sect people who are sanctified in the flesh, but they stay in the human world to specialize in cultivating gods, heavenly beings, and cultivating divine arts, they can be even more powerful than Gu Ying and them, and the whole Kunlun is not worth your fear. If your enemy is Kunlun, you can go to them for revenge at that time. ā
Xia Jie sneered mercilessly at Lu Feng, who was full of sluggishness: "But you don't have anything." You relied on your own cleverness, collected a group of ruffians, hooligans, scoundrels, and villains, and with the cover of the imperial court, you set up a shitty Huanglongmen, the most hellish cultivation of immortals, you were lucky, found a narcissus born with the power of the water element as a backer, found two people who changed careers, became robbers, and made a more generous scattered immortal as a master, this is all your capital, without a thousand years of hard work, can this batch of waste under your door be completed?"
Yin and mean words kept coming out of Xia Jie's mouth, and he sneered: "Especially you already know that Monk Daoyan and their enemies have a bit of an unclean relationship, you still dare to hook up with them, and you don't know how to die, that day, I stood outside the window and watched you pick a bargain and take the seal of the sky, but fortunately, Monk Daoyan and their distinguished guest is just a small game that does not enter the stream, and he has not seen through your origin, if you change their master, you don't know how to die." ā
"Try your best to be smart, play some intrigue and trickery, with your qi refining and cultivation that is a cut above ordinary people, you can naturally call for wind and rain in the imperial court, the emperor and the great prince all treat you as fragrant buns, but in the cultivation world, you are just a little white rabbit who has just started, and it is too much of a compliment to say that you are a rabbit, and you rabbit is in a hurry, you can also kick the eagle to death, you *** just a chicken that has just come out of the shell, and you dare to seek revenge on that group of people for your ghost virtue?"
The confidence in Lu Feng's mind completely collapsed, and his whole person collapsed at once, and there was an undoubted powerful majesty in Xia Jie's voice, which made Lu Feng feel that he was just a poor worm struggling in the cracks. Especially when Lu Feng recalled what he had done, he felt that Xia Jie was too right. Rely on the Yellow Dragon Gate for revenge? What are you kidding, let Zhang Long and them cultivate slowly, they want to cultivate into Yuanying, I'm afraid they won't be three or five hundred years? How powerful will they become after three or five hundred years? Who knows?
Xia Jie scolded happily, grabbed the teapot and poured the tea inside clean, and then casually threw the teapot on the ground, supported his chin with both hands, leaned against the table, looked at Lu Feng with blazing eyes, and said: "What? Hit by my words? No confidence? Don't want to take revenge? Hey, I've been following your ass for more than three years, looking at you, this kid is usually ruthless, not a twisted character, why did you become a grass chicken now?"
