Chapter 128 A banquet is not a good banquet, billions of blood and bones!

Chapter 128 A banquet is not a good banquet, billions of blood and bones!

Lu Xuan's thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door, and Wu Xiaoxu walked out at that moment carrying two cups of hot tea that had just been brewed.

Wu Datong frowned and muttered:

"Can I still have guests here? Xiaoxu, go and open the door."

"Okay!" Wu Xiaoxu placed two cups of steaming tea in front of Lu Xuan and Xiao Yan, and then trotted open the door.

"Are you...?" he asked doubtfully.

"Liu Zhong, the provincial capital, came here to visit Governor Wu on the order of the palace master."

Wu Datong frowned, sat on the chair, did not get up, and just said calmly:

"come in."

Lu Xuan and Xiao Yan exchanged glances, both thoughtful.

After a while, Wu Xiaoxu walked in with a middle-aged man who looked honest and honest. Liu Zhong glanced at the young girl sitting on the sofa, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he did not show it.

He saluted Wu Datong, who was lying peacefully on the chair, and said:

"Secretary of the Provincial Government, Liu Zhong, has met Mr. Wu."

"Yes." Wu Datong did not ask him to sit down, but just asked calmly: "What are you doing here?"

Liu Zhong didn't care either. With a very formulaic smile on his face, he spoke in a serious manner:

"On the order of the Grand Palace Master, I have come to invite Master Wu to attend tonight's dinner. Top leaders from all departments in the provincial government will attend, and the Grand Guard will also come."

Lu Xuan listened quietly, thoughtfully. The Grand Master of the Provincial Palace is the highest administrative head of the province. Together with the Grand Guard, one is responsible for [Chinese] and the other is responsible for [Martial].

In other words, one is in charge and the other is in charge of the army.

While he was thinking, Wu Datong raised his eyelids and asked in a nonchalant manner:

"Oh? A dinner party? Do you, Butler Liu, need to personally invite you to a dinner party? Forget it, I don't like the excitement, so I won't go."

"Master Wu." Liu Zhong bowed and said respectfully: "The master of the palace asked me to invite you to be present. This dinner is not ordinary."

"Didn't you see guests coming to my house?" Wu Datong's voice was slightly cold: "I want to entertain guests."

Liu Zhong hesitated for a moment and made another salute:

"But today's dinner is really important. Even the mayors of the 14 first-tier cities in the province are going to the banquet. Why don't Mr. Wu bring the two young guests with him, so that he can see the world."

Although he felt that Lu Xuan and Yan Jiangxue looked familiar, he had only glanced at the photo a long time ago and did not remember who they were.

Wu Datong also realized at this time that it was unusual to convene a dinner for so many people, and even a marginalized figure like himself requested to be present.

His expression moved slightly and he asked:

"Is this dinner related to something?"

Liu Zhong smiled simply and said humbly:

"I'm not very clear about this."

As he spoke, he seemed to be afraid that Wu Datong would still refuse, so he added:

"But it seems to be related to the super consortium."

Lu Xuan was stunned for a moment and glanced at Xiao Yan. The latter was also full of doubts, while Wu Datong nodded thoughtfully and said:

"Okay, then I'll ask Butler Liu to go back and tell the Palace Master that I will definitely attend the banquet."

Liu Zhong bowed again, told the place and time, then faced Wu Datong, bent down, and stepped back step by step until he reached the door, then turned around and pushed the door open and left.

After he left, Wu Datong sneered:

"The superficial skills are quite good."

Lu Xuan asked curiously:

"Uncle Wu, who was this just now...?"

"The master's secret."

Lu Xuan suddenly realized, no wonder Uncle Wu called him the great butler. After thinking about it, he said again:

"Wu Shuqian came to Fucheng on an official basis and did not participate in federal affairs at all. However, the master of the palace strongly requested you to attend the banquet. I always feel that something is wrong."

"Yeah." It was Xiao Yan who spoke. She straightened her back and said concisely: "It also involves a super consortium. This is very strange. How can a province be connected with a consortium? The two sides are not equal."

Xiao Yan was telling the truth. Although a province is vast, the power of the provincial governor and the general governor is indeed great. It is equivalent to the ancient feudal officials, who have complete autonomy over most things in the province.

However, in front of the super consortium

That's it.

Although Yan Jiangxue is not good at speaking in front of outsiders, she is the eldest princess of Longque Technology. After being exposed to so many things, she quickly realized the strangeness.

Why can a provincial government banquet involve matters related to a super consortium?

Unless there is a super consortium involved.

She frowned and recounted her speculations. In the living room, except for Wu Xiaoxu who listened in a confused and half-understanding manner, Lu Xuan and Wu Datong were both deep in thought.

After a long while, Wu Datong raised his head with a solemn expression:

"But it is indeed the same. As Xiao Yan said, this matter is very strange. I will find out when the time comes. Xiaoxu, please entertain Xiaoxuan and the others tonight."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xuan waved his hand and refused:

"No, didn't Butler Liu just say that we can go see the world? I didn't want to go at first, but since there may be something fishy in it, I really want to go and have a look."

Wu Datong hesitated:

"It would be fine if everything is normal, but judging from the current situation, there is a high probability that it is related to a certain super consortium. Just in case."

"It's okay, Uncle Wu." After saying that, Lu Xuan blinked at Wu Datong.

Wu Datong was stunned for a moment, thinking that Lu Xuan could transform into a majestic figure, he immediately felt relieved and nodded in agreement.

In fact, although Lu Xuan could not use the Order of Keeping History in this world, he had Qing Ping secretly accompanying him, so he really didn't have to worry about anything.

A true immortal, even a ninth-grade true immortal who has just entered the Chaotian Que level, is enough to easily suppress the entire Langya Province.

The so-called lord of a provincial government, or a great guard, is just an earthly immortal if he is overstretched to death.

After having lunch at Wu Datong's house, because they planned to go to a banquet together in the evening, the two of them did not say goodbye and simply stayed in the villa to rest.

Xiao Yan was lying on the bed in the guest room to take a nap, while Lu Xuan was communicating with Wu Datong alone, talking about [Shenglou] and the cult.

"Uncle Wu, after the incident in Qianlong City seven years ago, it was definitely a cult before the curtain fell, but what happened after the curtain fell? Who was the cult performing sacrifices for? Are they really related to the owner of Shenglou?"

Wu Datong fell into memories, and after a while, he whispered:

"I don't have direct evidence, but the probability is more than 80% that it is related to the owner of the building. I was the doctor who gave birth to the building at the time. To be honest, I am a member of a cult."

After hesitating for a moment, he said calmly:

"I saw and went to Qianlong City to see the cult members, but I didn't know they were cultists at the time. I just followed the poster's order to see them off. It wasn't until the incident in Qianlong City that I realized it, and then I committed suicide. With one stab, I escaped from the living building."

Lu Xuan's brows were knitted tightly together. After thinking for a long time, he didn't hide anything and said bluntly:

"That day, there was a great sacrifice of great character in Donghai City. When I was fighting with him, he told me personally that the reason for the sacrifice was to supplement himself with the essence of tens of millions of living beings. The master of the living building was also seriously injured? "

After a pause, he continued:

"Of course, the dying great master also told me that some immortals, in order to break through the great rank, use the blood and bones of living beings as sacrificial materials, in order to break through the realm."

"Assuming it's the latter."

A look of surprise appeared on Wu Datong's face at first. That day when they were fighting in outer space, it was Xiaoxuan who wielded the terrifying sword light. His expression immediately turned solemn:

"I mean, if the Qianlong City Festival is really for the owner of Shenglou, it can only be the latter reason."

As he spoke, a look of panic appeared on his face:

"Big sacrifices happen from time to time, but they usually only happen once every two or three years. After all, everyone is keeping a close eye on them, and the immortals who perform the big sacrifices all do it in secret. But those two years were different. In two years, I All we know is that more than thirty cities were "

Lu Xuan shook his hand, more than thirty cities!

Even if they are only second- and third-tier cities like Qianlong City and Donghai City, each city has 10 to 20 million people.

More than thirty cities represent billions of people.

Billions!

The recorded population of the entire Ancestral Planet is only a few hundred billion. Counting those not yet counted in the census, they account for approximately one-third of the total population.

In other words, the Ancestral Star supports a total population of more than one trillion, and evenly distributed among the 60 provinces in the East and West continents, each province only has a population of 20 to 30 billion.

But six or seven years ago, billions of people and half of the province were slaughtered!

Lu Xuan's heart twitched, while Wu Datong took a deep breath, looked solemn, and continued:

"And it was after those two years of frequent great sacrifices that the poster seemed to have broken through the realm of great things and became immortal. During this period, he did not perform any heavenly and earthly rituals."

Lu Xuan nodded heavily and clenched his fists unconsciously:

"That is to say, there is a 90% probability that this is the great sacrifice performed by the Master of the Sheng Building. However, we are not completely sure about Uncle Wu. How many immortals are there in the human race at the moment?"

"I don't know." Wu Datong shook his head: "But it will definitely not exceed the number of one palm. It will kill three or five people. Each of them has never touched the world."

After a pause, he continued:

"It seems to be related to the limitations of heaven and earth. Now the world has not fully recovered, and it cannot withstand the power of the immortal level."

"I see."

Lu Xuan nodded and fell into deep thought.

A line vaguely emerged in his mind: cult, Sakata Heavy Industries, Shenglou.

But this line seems to be missing something crucial and is not coherent.

Lu Xuan thought of the Death Tower and the warning from Yang Jian and others in Gouxian Town: "Pay attention to the second floor of life and death, and pay attention to the upper palace and the underground palace!"

With a thought in his mind, he asked Wu Datong if he had heard of the terms "Shanggong" and "Dique", but received a negative reply, which made Lu Xuan even more confused.

The upper palace and the lower palace sound opposite each other, just like the second floor of life and death.

There are more things hidden under the water in this world than you think.

When he thought of the many demon clans outside the solar system and outside the Great Wall of Starry Sky, the sense of urgency in Lu Xuan's heart became even stronger.

To become stronger, he needs to become as strong as possible and as quickly as possible.

What is lacking most right now is time!

Suddenly, Lu Xuan remembered what Uncle Wu had said before, "One Dream for a Thousand Years", and he had a plan in his mind, but he did not express it in words.

It's not the time yet.

After the conversation, he sat on the sofa alone, meditating and practicing silently.

The yin and yang in the acupuncture point of the left hand still remains stable. Once enough Bodhi peels are accumulated, I am afraid that I will need to continue to try to mediate the good fortune in it.

Judging from the current situation, steadily getting stronger is still too slow after all. We must make dangerous moves and try to find another way.

In addition to opening up the world in the acupoints and growing the original body, human luck and thoughts on sentient beings are also ways to quickly become stronger.

The former can command the mountains and rivers of the human race, not to mention the latter. The overwhelming thoughts of sentient beings directly allowed Lu Xuan to build the third level of the Supreme Jade Steps in an instant.

Lu Xuan's mind turned over and over again, and he soon had a complete plan. The Sanqing Temple must try to appear in front of the public, and the opening of the acupoints needs to wait for accumulation.

However, human fortune can only be accumulated in dreams, and the time of each dream is too short.

In the final analysis, it is still the same question, ancient times in dreams.

Time passed slowly, and soon it was sunset.

"Xiaoxuan, Xiaoyan!" Wu Datong greeted: "It's almost time to set off."
