Zhao Kuangyin muttered to Zheng Yu in a low voice on the side: "Seeing that Lord Lu Gu said so sincerely, could it be that the remnants of the picture are really not in Sanssouci Valley?" Zheng Yu said: "Impossible, we have been checking for a long time, there will be no mistakes, and he just admitted that Lu Yuanzheng is Huang Chao's subordinate."

Jing Xining said: "Since the Lord of the Lu Valley is so warmly invited, then we might as well be respectful, and we can just catch a glimpse of the grand annual ceremony of Sanssouci Valley." Lu Zeguang originally intended to send them away as soon as possible, not really wanting to stay, but Jing Xining pretended not to know, Lu Zeguang had no choice but to say helplessly: "This is very good, a few people have been tired all the way, they must be tired, it is better to go down and rest early, I have ordered someone to clean the room." After Lu Zeguang finished speaking, he turned to Lu Qing, "Qing'er, why don't you take a few guests down to rest", Lu Qing said perfunctorily reluctantly: "Yes." Jing Xining got up and thanked: "I'm tired." ”

After Lu Qing took Jing Xining and the four of them to the place, he turned around and left, Zhao Kuangyin said: "If I didn't want to get the residual picture, I really wanted to beat him." Chai Rong said: "This Sanssouci Valley is full of hidden weapons, don't mess around, don't say that the remnants can't be obtained when the time comes, even the lives of a few of us will be difficult to protect." Jing Xining smiled: "Okay, Brother Rong, don't scare Kuang Yin, he wasn't scared." Zhao Kuangyin said: "It's still the eldest brother who understands me." Jing Xining said: "Okay, no kidding, let's be serious, everyone sit down." ”

The four of them sat around the table, and Chai Rong said: "Looking at Lu Zeguang's attitude today, he has obviously seen the broken jade, but he has turned a blind eye, I'm afraid we won't be able to get the remnants so easily, we have to think of a way." ”

Jing Xining said: "Now I'm waiting for Lu Zekuan, I hope he can arrive soon." Zhao Kuangyin said: "Who is Lu Zekuan?"

Jing Xining said: " There is something I haven't had time to tell you, according to the information provided by Brother Zheng, Lu Yuanzheng has two sons, the eldest son Lu Zeguang, that is, the current valley master of Sanssouci Valley, and a son named Lu Zekuan, who competed with Lu Zeguang for the position of the valley lord back then, and left in a negative mood after failure, and this Lu Zekuan is a money fan, greedy for wealth and wealth, obsessed with money, before coming to Sanssouci Valley, I have sent someone to give him a message, saying that Lu Lao Gu Lord had left a treasure map before his death, and he will definitely return to Sanssouci Valley to snatch it with Lu Zeguang after knowing this, and when he messes up the situation in Sanssouci Valley, we will have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and get the residual map。 ”

Zhao Kuangyin said: "I see, it seems that the eldest brother has made two preparations, Xue Zan clearly said that when he saw the broken jade, the other party would take out the residual picture, who would have thought that this Lu Zeguang would actually pretend to be stupid with us." ”

Jing Xining said: "But after three days, we won't have any reason to stay here after the sacrifice, so we must take this opportunity to ask Lu Zeguang to hand over the remnant map." ”

Zhao Kuangyin said: "If he doesn't give it to us, will he rob it, are you still afraid that he won't succeed?" Chai Rong said: "Don't talk nonsense, what's the difference between this and a robber?"

Jing Xining and the four of them lived in this courtyard for three days, except for the servants in the valley who came to deliver food and clean the room three times a day, no one else came, and Lu Zeguang and Lu Qing never set foot again, and seemed to have forgotten about them for a long time. Zhao Kuangyin complained, "When I first came to Sanssouci Valley, Lord Lu gave me a good impression, but I didn't expect him to be so hospitable, we stayed here for three days, and he didn't come once, at least I could ask someone to bring a greeting." ”

Chai Rong said: "Third brother, you can be regarded as understanding now, this Lu Gu Lord wishes we left early, but we want to live here, and it is not good for him to refuse directly, so he deliberately ignores us like this, hoping that we will leave with interest, but he didn't expect us to be so thick-skinned, so he just didn't want to leave." ”

Zheng Yu said: "Lu Zeguang, the old fox city is very deep, and his heart is like a mirror, I guess he wants to swallow this batch of treasures by himself, so he is naturally not happy to see us coming, and it is good that he didn't directly drive us away." ”

At this moment, someone knocked on the door, Zhao Kuangyin opened the door, and found that it was a disciple of Sanssouci Valley, the disciple saluted the four of them and said: "The valley master ordered me to come and inform you that tomorrow's sacrificial ceremony will be held in the forest farm at three o'clock, I hope you can participate on time." Jing Xining said: "This little brother bothers you to tell the valley master, we must be there on time." ”

Zhao Kuangyin asked: "Little brother, what are you doing with this sacrificial ceremony, making it so heavy?" The little disciple said, "You will know tomorrow." With that, he walked straight out, closed the door and left. Zhao Kuangyin said: "It's mysterious, really, and this Lu Gu Lord should at least let Lu Qing come even if he doesn't come, what is it to send a disciple casually, we are also guests." Jing Xining said: "Okay, don't complain, it's really a guest here." ”

At the beginning, the sacrificial ceremony of Sanssouci Valley was only used by Lu Yuanzheng to pay tribute to Huangchao, and the time of sacrifice was the day when Huangchao worshiped the dead wolf and tiger valley, and faced the direction of the tiger and wolf valley in the east when sacrificing, and later added the worship of heaven and earth, praying for harmony and health in the valley, so it became more and more intense and formal, and became an annual event. Early the next morning, all the men, women, and children in the valley gathered in the forest farm, waiting for the sacrificial ceremony to begin, and Jing Xining and the four of them also followed the crowd very early. At two o'clock, Lu Zeguang and Lu Qing came to the forest farm together, everyone saw Lu Zeguang, they all cheered loudly, Lu Zeguang walked to the sacrificial platform, looked at the crowd with a smile, and was about to speak, when suddenly a familiar voice came from the crowd, "Lord Lu Gu is slow, I still have something to say." ”

Lu Zeguang was a little familiar with the voice, and following the voice, he saw a person as old as him shuttling through the crowd, slowly walking towards the sacrificial platform, followed by a young man about the same age as Lu Qing and several other fierce looking big men. Everyone under the altar looked at this group of people who suddenly appeared, and Chai Rong whispered to Jing Xining below: "Presumably he is Lu Zeguang's younger brother Lu Zekuan." Jing Xining nodded, and Chai Rong said, "I'm afraid there will be a good show to watch today." ”

Lu Zeguang recognized Lu Zekuan at a glance, and couldn't help but beat a little drum in his heart, Lu Zekuan has never come back since he left Sanssouci Valley, and he suddenly appeared today, and he chose the day of the sacrifice ceremony, so it is expected that he will not have anything good. Lu Qing saw that Lu Zeguang's face was a little ugly, and asked on the side: "Dad, who is that old man?" let me go and blow him away." Lu Zeguang didn't speak, just stopped Lu Qing with his hand, and watched Lu Zekuan approach to him with cold eyes. Lu Zekuan walked to the stage, and Lu Zeguang said: "I don't care what purpose you have here today, but please don't mess around now, the sacrificial ceremony is about to start, and you have to wait for the sacrificial ceremony to be over." Lu Zekuan knew that the sacrificial ceremony was an annual event in Sanssouci Valley, if the ceremony was disrupted at this time, he would definitely become a sinner in Sanssouci Valley, after all, he was also a person from Sanssouci Valley, "Okay, then I'll wait for you to finish the sacrificial ceremony", and retreated to the side with the others.

Zheng Yu said: "Why did Lu Zekuan come down like this?" Jing Xining said: "After all, he was also a person from Sanssouci Valley, and the sacrificial ceremony is a major event in the valley, and he doesn't want to destroy it." Besides, he still has no intention of giving up on the position of the valley master, and if he destroys the ceremony, he will have no chance to regain the position of the valley lord in the future. ”

At the beginning of the sacrifice, Lu Zekuan stepped down from the stage, Lu Zeguang continued to preside over the sacrificial ceremony in accordance with the ceremonial procedures, the ceremony was probably carried out for more than an hour, after the ceremony, Lu Zeguang left the forest farm, and asked Jing Xining to go to the main hall with Lu Zekuan and others. Lu Zeguang said: "It's noon now, please dine with me, all guests." Lu Zekuan said: "Okay, then let's eat first, I'm also hungry, I'll talk about it after eating." Zheng Yu pretended not to know and asked, "I don't know who this is?"

Lu Zekuan said: "If you talk about it, how can I be regarded as the second valley master of Sanssouci Valley, after all, I am the younger brother of the Lu Valley master." ”

Lu Zeguang sneered, "Back then, it was the Sanssouci Valley that you left by yourself, where is there a second valley master now?"

Zheng Yu looked suddenly realized, "Oh, it turned out to be the younger brother of the Lord of the Lu Valley, disrespectful and disrespectful, but the Lord of the Lu Valley said that you left the Valley of Worry-Free by yourself back then, what is going on?" Lu Zeguang heard that Zheng Yu was a little discordant, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, but what was even more unhappy was Lu Zekuan, Lu Zekuan said loudly to Lu Zeguang: "Was it me who wanted to leave back then, it was obviously you who forced me away, and now you actually say such cool words." ”

Lu Zeguang waved his hand and said, "I don't want to tell you these old things anymore." Lu Zekuan said: "Okay, don't talk about these old things, then I'll talk to you about the current matter." Lu Zeguang said: "What's the matter now, it's been more than ten years, what do you want to do when you suddenly come back today?" Lu Zekuan said: "I heard that our Lu family has a treasure map, this treasure map was left by my father, and now the entire Sanssouci Valley is yours, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, but I am starving outside, how can I give me the treasure map." ”

Lu Zeguang suddenly understood a little, and deliberately raised his voice and said: "It's ridiculous, what kind of treasure map? I don't know what you're talking about, it's really strange lately, first someone asked me for a remnant map, and now you come back to ask for a treasure map, where did you hear all the rumors?" Lu Zeguang said this not only to Lu Zekuan, but also to Jing Xining and the four people.

Lu Zekuan said: "Don't pretend anymore, I don't know what kind of person you are, I can no longer fight with you for the position of the valley master, but you have to give me the treasure map." Lu Zeguang was still as cold as ever, "I can't help you if you say that, your mouth is on you, you can say whatever you want, I can't control it." Anyway, it's rare for you to come back once and pay homage to your father, and it's rare for the family to get together and sit down for a good meal. Lu Zekuan said: "Seeing that you don't admit it like this, I must find it out, you wait and see." Lu Zekuan said and instructed the people accompanying him to prepare to turn around, Lu Zeguang said angrily: "Presumptuous, how can these idle people and others casually run around in Sanssouci Valley, I am the master of a valley here, whoever dares to move me will definitely want him to look good." Lu Zeguang finally couldn't hold it back, and he was angry.

Lu Zekuan said: "I almost died in your hands more than ten years ago, today do you think I will be afraid of you? I see what you can do to me?" Lu Zeguang shouted: "Someone." Suddenly, from outside the house, many disciples from the valley surrounded Lu Zekuan and the others. Jing Xining said: "Lord Lu Gu thinks twice, don't hurt your harmony when you brothers fight." ”

Lu Zeguang sprinkled the anger in his heart to Lu Zekuan, but this anger came more from Jing Xining and the four people, he knew how many years Lu Zekuan had not set foot in Sanssouci Valley, these four people looked for him with the front foot to ask for the remnant map, and Lu Zekuan followed him back to ask for the treasure map, since the moment he saw Lu Zekuan, Lu Zeguang already suspected that they were secretly playing ghosts.
