Chapter 54: On Heroes (2)
Zhaojiazhuang.
In the backyard room, all the leaders had stopped arguing. With Hu Tan's departure, everyone's previous arguments have lost their meaning, and the heroes have fallen into silence. Jiang Chao, You Zetong and other leaders still had the resentment in their chests, and they sat around the wooden table by the window angrily, listening to the cries from the outer courtyard in distraction.
Ling Fei and Ye Yu and the others sat at the other end, also frowning and discussing countermeasures.
The five-flower lady and the continuation of the pulse Toutuo are busy, the two of them are sitting on the side of the room, and the two square tables in front of them are piled up with rare medicinal materials that have just been brought out from the Zhaojiazhuang medicine storehouse.
"Purple leaf is a good thing. The five-flower lady picked up a piece of vine with dark purple skin and black core, and heard the medicine maid say that it was a purple leaf dill that the owner bought by chance outside, and said after pondering for a while, "This purple leaf dill is almost three hundred years old, so thick, it is rare that the outer skin is not damaged in the slightest, hmm...... This brain repellent worm is very effective, and it has a big cold poison, so you might as well use red ginseng, wind attached, and stone nitrate to neutral......ize it a little, "As he spoke, he cut a small section of his finger with medicine scissors, and picked up a few side medicines from the table and put them into the medicine jar together.
Continuing the pulse Toutuo squinted his eyes, and was carefully studying a bony vertebrae-like wooden branch, what is this, the medicine maid is also vague, and the library briefing only says that this is something from the Great Food Country.
The candle flame on the table flickered suddenly, and the room was faintly dark.
Someone came in with the curtain lifted.
"Liu Zhenlu Liu Daxia," the man stood at the door, his eyes swept over everyone's face. Soon I saw Liu Zhenlu, who was sitting on the edge of the bed and checking Zheng Tongxi's pulse, and walked over briskly. said: "Uncle Guan of the Qingluan faction sent someone to ask for a meeting, saying that there is something important to discuss with you. "Ling Fei and the others saw that it was Zhao Dongsheng's fourth disciple Kang Yuangan. I didn't think about it either, and continued to negotiate.
Liu Zhenlu hummed, put down the hand on Zheng Tongxi's pulse, adjusted his clothes slightly, and walked out of the door calmly, followed by Kang Yuangan.
"This is Senior Brother Lu of the Qingluan Sect, Senior Uncle Guan is in the Meditation Courtyard, Senior Brother Lu will take you there later. Kang Yuangan pointed to a young disciple standing in the snow and said, and the disciple surnamed Lu hurriedly beat Gong. His head was down, but he couldn't see his face clearly.
"Uncle Liu, please come with your disciple, and the master is waiting in Cui Si Pavilion. ”
The two of them walked through the gate guarded by disciples and walked into the other courtyard. The disciple surnamed Lu seemed to be quite shy, and he didn't say a word along the way, only leading the way in front, Liu Zhenlu had something in his heart, and he didn't have the heart to ask him.
The lights were on in the Trisso. Liu Zhenlu looked up and saw that the inscription on the plaque on the door was correct, and he walked in, but when he looked around, the room was empty. Only three lamps were lit, the tables and chairs were empty, and there was no one. Just as he was puzzled, the disciple surnamed Lu also followed into the house. Reflexively closed the door leaf and locked the latch.
"Huh?" Liu Zhenlu looked at the Tsing Yi disciple in surprise. I don't know, "What about your master?"
The disciple didn't answer, but slowly turned around and stared at Liu Zhenlu mockingly. The Central Plains hero was shocked in his heart, seeing the indifferent indifference of the young man's face, as well as the coercion that emanated invisibly, he vaguely guessed something in his heart, but he couldn't believe it.
"Liu Daxia, hello. The voice was no longer young, old, but unhurried. Liu Zhenlu was dumbfounded to see that the young man's face changed rapidly as if kneading dough, the thick and straight bridge of the nose became sharp and thin, the smooth skin slackened, and the layers of folded skin were covered with brown spots, the broad chin shrank inward and became sharp, and a pair of eyebrows also turned from thick black to gray and white.
"Transfiguration!" Liu Zhenlu was shocked in his chest, and saw the strange old man gently shake his sleeves, the cyan wide sleeves cut from coarse cloth rippled, in the middle of the forearm, it was suddenly divided into two colors, the part that went up to the shoulder was still green cloth, and the part near the palm of the front had become black and shiny, obviously the fabric was not ordinary, under the light of the light, the Central Plains hero clearly saw the golden honeysuckle pattern embroidered on the sleeve edge, winding and curling, and the three-color beetle pattern inlaid with gems surrounded by complex lines.
Liu Zhenlu gasped.
"The old man's surname is Xie. The old man said.
"My subordinates see Thank you, Protector of the Dharma, I wish the Protector good health and good health. Liu Zhenlu respectfully knelt on one knee and bowed his head and clenched his fists. The clothes can be embroidered with three-color holy insects, which is the symbol of the revered altar protector, Liu Zhenlu has been in the Rohman sect for a long time, and has a deep understanding of the personnel structure of the sect. The four protectors of the Rohman sect, each of whom leads four halls and eight incense masters, have a high status, only under the two masters of the double saints and the chief and deputy masters, which is also the highest official of the Rohman sect that Liu Zhenlu has come into contact with so far.
"Get up. Xie Protector raised his hand slightly, Liu Zhenlu felt two forces coming from under his armpits, and gently held up his arms, although this force was soft, but it was extremely thick, so far away the strength was condensed like a substance, Liu Zhenlu felt that there was no slightest fluctuation under the arm like iron and stone to rise steadily, and he thought that he was absolutely difficult to resist, and he couldn't help but be terrified. Originally, seeing Xie Protector using the transformation technique, Liu Zhenlu knew that this was always a great master, but when this hand technique was revealed, Liu Zhenlu's nearly forty years of hard work was less than a moment to resist, which showed the depth of his mana, and the Central Plains hero felt a sense of horror in his heart.
Unfathomable! That's what he said about the old man. If this Xie Protector wants to hurt people, now Zhaojiazhuang is full of thousands of people, but I am afraid that there are few people who can be his opponents! Liu Zhenlu faintly felt that even with the prestige of Ling Fei, Hongyuan Monk, and Ye Yu, they would not necessarily have the upper hand over the Xie Protector.
At this time, he had a clearer understanding of the strength of the Rohmon Sect.
In the past few years, the Lohmons have been resolutely resisted by various factions in the Central Plains, and their power is no longer as strong as before, not only the front is retreating step by step, but the number of novices sent to fight is also increasing day by day, and even a year ago, it finally lost the important stronghold of Yuanzhou, which made the Central Plains heroes very excited. Everyone said that the Dao Lamin sect was about to run out, and the sect's hands were too badly damaged, so they had to use Xinding to resist.
Liu Zhenlu had the same doubts before, but it wasn't until he saw Xie Protector today that he realized that everyone was far from fallacious.
A thank you protector. It was almost on par with Ling Fei and the others, counting the other three Dharma Protectors. What about the Twin Saints of Apologetics? There are also the principal and deputy sect leaders who have never shown up, and the skills of these people must be even higher than that of Xie Protector. And how many Ling Fei does the Shushan faction have? How many ambitions does the Tianlong Temple have? Although there are a few masters, they can't influence the situation of the battle. But everyone has to admit that the role of a master with profound mana in the sect is incomparable to that of an excellent disciple. As long as these patriarchs of the Lohmanism are still there, then they are not injured at all, and what can be said about the strength and weakness of the moment?
"Don't be nervous. Xie Protector stared at him with a smile for a while, and found that Liu Zhenlu was still humbly bowing his head, not daring to raise it, so he said, "You have been in the past year." I have done my job faithfully and made a lot of meritorious contributions, and the sect leader is very satisfied, so I have specially ordered me to preach my encouragement to you. ”
"The sect leader is wrong to love, and the subordinates are embarrassed, and the subordinates actually have no credit, all of which are entrusted to the sect leader Hongfu. ”
"Okay, you don't have to be so humble," Xie Protector Wen Yan said. "Merit is merit, and whoever belongs is whomever it is. ”
Liu Zhenlu said: "The subordinates really don't dare to be greedy, for more than a year, the subordinates have only sincerely followed the instructions of the sect leader." It's just a step-by-step process. If you talk about the credit, it is the leader who has the greatest credit. ”
"The Sect Master is far-sighted and clever. Needless to say, but you can understand what the Sect Master means. It is also very rare to be faithful in carrying out instructions. ”
"You don't covet merit. This is very good," Xie Protector said with satisfaction, "In the past year, you have done a lot of things to save the lives of many junior sect members, so that the reserve forces of our sect can be preserved, which is a great merit, and it is really commendable to be able to be proud at this time." Liu Zhenlu didn't dare to answer, and waited for a while before he heard Xie Protector speak again: "You have been added to the sect for a long time, you should know that our sect has always rewarded and punished clearly, and for those who have merit, we will never spare money and financial resources, and the rewards are very generous, and those who have exceeded it will also be punished according to the law." The meritorious deeds you have made in recent years have been recorded in the Hall of Glory, and the master of the hall said that you have already made a separate list of your roster, one by one, and there are details on it, and there is no mistake in what rewards you should receive and what advancements you should get. But you have a special status now, so it's not good to give it to you with great fanfare. I came here this time to make a compromise on these things, so that you can rest assured, lest you think that we Luomons only talk empty words and do not reward meritorious heroes. He smiled as he spoke.
Liu Zhenlu hurriedly said: "My subordinates don't dare, for the sake of the teacher, it is the honor of my subordinates to be able to share their worries for me, and my subordinates only have joy in their hearts." ”
Xie Protector said: "Okay, there is no need to say these words, your new advanced name, the Hall of Glory is still being evaluated, and the results will not be known until next month, in addition to conveying the praise of the sect leader to you this time, it is to give you the blessing of transforming the White Jade Holy Ancestor in advance, this time the sect leader will give you a year's use, you have to do a good job in the future, don't live up to the expectations of the sect leader." ”
Liu Zhenlu was full of joy, and knelt down again and kowtowed to thank him. Xie Protector approached, his finger pointed on the forehead of the Central Plains hero, Liu Zhenlu did not dodge, he held his breath and felt the little coldness coming from the skin, and soon, he felt a sharp line on the Yintang acupoint penetrating his brain, and the Central Plains hero only felt that a certain place in the depths of his brain suddenly became hot, and at the same time he smelled a rich medicinal gas at the end of his nose, and a sense of comfort instantly spread throughout his body.
He felt a strong contraction of his heart, and his heart, which was originally beating calmly, became full of vitality at this moment, and the sound of thumping even passed through his knees to the ground, and the Central Plains hero only felt that the entire hall trembled slightly with his heartbeat in a trance.
Although it was extremely terrifying when the White Jade Shougong Lizard attacked, but every time the Gu worm was suppressed by the drug, and the lizard poison dispersed into the veins, the benefits it brought to the Gu were obvious, Liu Zhenlu knew that after Xie Protector's time of dispersing the poison, and then after a little time of transformation and absorption, his skill would go to the next level.
The fact that the Lohmons are so powerful and the masters in the sect are like clouds has something to do with such a method that is both poisonous and replenished.
"Thank you to the sect leader for the medicine, and thank you to the Dharma Protector for passing on the merits. ”
"Get up," said Protector Xie, "I'll give you a task now. ”
"Please show me the Dharma Protector. ”
"There is a chaotic fist in Mizhou, Shandong, I don't know if you have any impression?"
"Chaoyi Fist?" Liu Zhenlu appeared in his mind when he was middle-aged and polite, and it was Guo Buxiong, who previously admitted that he was the head of Chaoyi Fist. The Chaoyi Fist is a faction in Mizhou, Shandong, and it is geographically a lineage in the northern art world, but Liu Zhenlu, who is extremely familiar with the northern realm, has rarely heard of this sect, and has not heard of any outstanding figures among them, which shows its strength. But at today's ceremony, there was a chaotic boxer who could instantly restrain the four strange case divisions to catch fast, which was unexpected. Liu Zhenlu had already paid attention when Guo Buxiong introduced himself as the head of Chaoyi Boxing.
"My subordinates have heard of it, but they haven't had much contact with it before, it's just a third-rate small sect. ”
"Third-rate? That should be the old opinion. Xie Protector said slowly, "This sect is a little wrong now. ”
Liu Zhenlu nodded secretly, this surname Guo turned out to be really weird.
"This sect is in Sansang Town, Mizhou, and there are only 17 people in the general sect, four old and thirteen young, this is the intelligence from a year ago. Four years ago, we had a line in it, and we didn't pay much attention to it. But more than half a year ago, this line was broken, and there was no news again, Xia Yantang found something strange in the half-year report three months ago, and sent people to investigate again, and according to the information from the secret investigation behind...... There has been a major change in this sect. ”
Liu Zhenlu listened to Xie Protector's voice and became cold, and couldn't help but secretly wonder what had happened to make this high-ranking old man pay so much attention.
"I want you to get in touch with them clearly, find any excuse for yourself, within a month, I want to get detailed information about this sect, who is the head of the sect, who is actually in power, who they are in contact with, what things do they have to do on a daily basis, if possible, you also record the characteristics of their exercises, and next month, Xia Yantang will send someone to contact you again." You can't send someone from the Archchurch in this matter, so with the help of your reputation as a hero of the Central Plains, you have to be careful not to let people find out what is wrong. ”
"Subordinates obey orders!" Liu Zhenlu replied with his fists clenched.
"You are steady, you know the advance and retreat, Lord Gao Xiang and Lord Kang Xiang have always been very reassuring to you, I will not supervise you, you have to think more about this matter, now, there is another important thing to do. I'm going to give you a great favor. After assigning the task, Protector Xie seemed to be much more relaxed, he turned around and smiled at Liu Zhenlu.
