Chapter 194: A thought of hot summer, a word of spring, encounter on the road

Holding the sleeping little girl in his arms, he walked out of the courtyard and silently returned to the outside of the village. The green cow was lying on the ground, and the eighty-one armor stood respectfully, silently and motionless.

Qing Niu raised his head and his eyes fell on the little girl in Lu Xuan's hand, a look of surprise flashed across his face:

"Master, this is..."

Lu Xuan smiled and said softly:

"I was entrusted by someone, but this girl is destined to me."

Qing Niu nodded thoughtfully and said naively:

"That's a great fate."

Lu Xuan smiled and didn't say anything. He just held the little girl in his arms and glanced around, piercing the void. His empty eyes appeared on the sky, overlooking the ice and snow with a radius of one hundred thousand miles.

It's shocking to the eyes.

He sighed softly, his mind vibrated, and he changed [Utopia] and [Primary Heaven and Earth] to Xia, and immediately opened two acupoints, reflecting and resonating with the world.

At the same time, Lu Xuan silently activated the great magical power called [Star Shift]. This method is said to change the stars and the moon, but it can also change the four seasons.

Under the resonance of the shifting stars and the heaven and earth of the two acupoints, a wisp of summer wind blew across the ice and snow of a hundred thousand miles, and suddenly the scorching sun appeared in the sky, splashing unbridled scorching brilliance, causing the ice and snow to melt.

Three quarters of an hour later, under the radiance of the extremely hot sun, the land within a radius of one hundred thousand miles was no longer the same white snow. The snow melted, revealing the brown earth.

Then, Lu Xuan once again used [Star Shift] to change the seasons in the acupoints and heaven and earth, using them to resonate with the world. He slightly lowered his eyelids and spoke like thunder:

"Fengchun."

As soon as the words fell, a spring breeze actually blew, and the eight hundred plants, trees, animals, etc. that were not far away bent their waists or bowed their heads, and they were all shaken.

One thought of hot summer, one word of spring.

The gentle spring breeze blows millions of green shades in this disaster area that has been cut off from scenery for several years.

Lu Xuan hugged the little girl and looked sideways:

"This place has been hit by disasters for several years, and is in ruins waiting to be renovated. Is it okay for you to stay here for a year and help the people here rebuild?"

Eighty-one people bow together:

"Follow Lu Zi's order!"

Lu Xuan nodded, then looked at the animals and birds bowing their heads to the bent grass and trees not far away, and asked softly:

"Every soul here is extinct. Maybe you can stay here for a year, and the vegetation will turn into shade, and the animals and birds will become gods, protecting this place for a hundred thousand miles for a year?"

"Follow Lu Zi's order!"

The eight hundred people listening to the sermon heard a sound from plants, trees, spirits, monsters, animals and birds, etc. They bowed their waists and bowed their heads again, not daring to get up.

The old Taoist smiled:

"Then I will preach the Great Way in the capital of Chu State one year later."

After saying that, he embraced the girl and turned over on the green bull, while Zhao Zheng led the way. Eighty-one armors and eight hundred plants, animals and birds waited respectfully until the green bull carried the old Taoist and disappeared completely.

Then, according to the instructions of the old Taoist, it might be relief, peace of mind, shelter or shelter.

Everyone is working hard and not daring to slack off.

………………

After traveling for three days and traveling over 100,000 miles to the disaster-stricken areas, half a year later, we were close to the border of Chu State.

"Miss, we are almost at the border of Chu State. We estimate that we will reach Jiangling in two days."

Saying that, the maid couldn't hold back and asked curiously:

"Miss, why did you personally escort this batch of goods? The caravan has walked this road countless times. In fact, there should be no accidents."

Lu Niangrong shook her head and said:

"The Lu's Trading Company in Jiangling has been hit. The situation is very bad. I want to take charge of the overall situation. Of course, I mainly heard a few rumors."

"Rumors? What rumors?" The maid grew up with Lu Niangrong, so they were quite cordial and not restrained.

Lu Niangrong thought for a moment and replied:

"There are two rumors. One is that Gui Guzi, who has become famous in recent years, is living in seclusion near Jiangling. The other is that Confucius, who has traveled around the world, is about to arrive in Jiangling. These two people can be said to be the most famous people in the world. If you meet one of the top three people, it will be a great opportunity."

The maid seemed to understand but asked curiously:

"Among the top three scholars in the world, the number one should be the legendary Lu Zi, right? It would be better for Miss to look for traces of Confucius and Gui Guzi than to look for traces of Lu Zi."

As she spoke, she blinked her eyes and smiled:

"I've heard before that Lu Zi was followed by eighty-one armor and eighty-hundred spirited plants, animals and birds. It should be easy to find them."

"You, you." Lu Niangrong smiled helplessly: "Who dares to spy on Lu Zi's whereabouts?"

After a pause, she continued:

"The main reason is because the trading firm in Jiangling has some problems, and someone needs to deal with them. I also heard that the two great men might be there, so I came."

The maid nodded in understanding.

Glancing at the getting dark sky, Lu Niangrong looked sideways at the caravan leader and ordered:

"It's getting late, so we'll camp nearby for the time being. There are many ferocious beasts and monsters in the mountains and fields, so be careful."

"Yes, miss."

The leader of the caravan nodded respectfully and called on the escorting guards and merchants to start moving, and a simple camp was soon set up.

After lighting torches in all directions, the caravan leader piled firewood in the center of the camp, ignited the flames, and roasted some small animals hunted along the way for dinner.

During this period, the guards did not dare to relax their vigilance. Monsters were already rampant in this wilderness, especially at night, when many ferocious monsters came out to look for food.

This was also the reason why they did not dare to travel again as soon as the sun went down.

The beast meat was sizzling and oily from being roasted, and the aroma came out all at once and spread around, attracting many ferocious beasts to surround them, but they were all afraid of the firelight and the powerful auras among them, so they just waited around. , no one dares to do the former.

"smell good"

On the mountain road not far from the camp, there was a soft and waxy sound. The sound was not loud, but it was particularly noticeable in the silent night.

In addition, everyone in the camp had some cultivation, so naturally everyone heard the sound.

It's so late, how come there are still people in the wilderness?

Some of the guards looked over with vigilance, and Lu Niangrong, who was sitting by the bonfire, also looked up curiously.

As a result, I saw a young man in his twenties or thirties walking slowly leading a green bull. Carrying an old man in a Taoist robe on the back of the green bull, the old man also held a little girl carved in pink and jade in his arms. ,

It was this little girl who spoke just now.

When she saw Qing Niu and the old Taoist, Lu Niangrong was startled, but when she realized that the legendary Eighty-one Armor was not following behind, she breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest.

At this time, not far away, the little girl in the old man's arms sniffed and swallowed:

"Grandpa Lu, it smells really good."

"You kid." The old Taoist smiled helplessly and rubbed Lu Jianxue's little head.

Lu Jianxue was the name he gave her. This girl was so frozen that her memory of the past was extremely blurred. She was once on the verge of death. It could almost be said that she was saved by Lu Xuan with her last few breaths. She didn't even know her name. .

Lu Xuan gave her this name.

Zhao Zheng, who was holding the cow, hesitated for a moment and said with a smile:

"Father-in-law, how about I go to the camp to exchange for some barbecue? I have some money with me."

‘Gudong! ’

Lu Jianxue swallowed again, her eyes sparkling and she made a milky sound:

"Okay, okay! Brother Zheng is the best!"

The old Taoist smiled helplessly and knocked the little girl on the head:

"I haven't said anything yet, so you can agree to it for me first. Xiao Zheng, go to the camp to get some barbecue."

The confused Lu Jianxue laughed excitedly, climbed out of Lu Xuan's arms, leaned on the cow's back, and grabbed the two horns of the green cow:

"Grandpa Niu, go, go, go! BBQ, BBQ!"

"Moo!"

Qing Niu was not annoyed, and happily cooperated with Xiao Jianxue's command, swaying the bull's head, and walked slowly towards the camp.

The guards in the camp became slightly vigilant. The leader of the caravan put his hand on the handle of the knife, but was immediately stopped by Lu Niangrong:

"Just a passer-by, no need to be like this."

"Miss." the caravan leader reminded: "To be able to walk alone in the wilderness with a two or three-year-old milk baby, such a character is by no means simple."

"I know." Lu Niangrong smiled gently: "But didn't you hear it too? I just came to exchange for some barbecue and give them some."

As she said that, she looked towards the little girl holding the horns of the cow with a happy face, and a smile appeared on her face.

She also somewhat likes such a cute little girl.

As the green ox approached the camp, the young man leading the ox politely spoke:

"I was passing by this place, but my child was greedy. We want to change to some barbecue, I don't know."

"No need."

Lu Niangrong greeted her calmly, nodded and said with a smile:

"It was fate that we met by chance, just some barbecue."

As she spoke, she signaled to the guard to bring in a piece of sizzling and oily barbecue. Lu Jianxue's eyes widened, and her glistening saliva flowed down unconsciously, hitting the cow's head drop by drop.

"Moo!!" Qingniu snorted.

After inserting the barbecue, Lu Niangrong felt a little worried. Not only was the barbecue hot, but also with the little girl's mouth, whether she could chew it was a question.

After thinking about it, she looked at the old Taoist man on the back of the cow and said politely:

"This Taoist Priest, however, has some trouble dividing this meat. At night, in the wilderness, there are many dangers, which is not suitable for traveling. If the Taoist Priest doesn't mind, why not stay in the camp for one night?"

On the side, the caravan leader moved his lips, but glanced at the tiny girl, but still said nothing.

After thinking for a moment, the old Taoist on the back of the cow nodded gently:

"That's because I was the one to bother you, thank you very much."

As he spoke, he patted Lu Jianxue's little head and said with a smile:

"Why don't you thank me?"

"Oh!" Lu Jianxue took a sip of saliva, smiled broadly, and said crisply: "Thank you, big sister!!"

Lu Niangrong smiled back.

The caravan guard moved the temporary wooden fence. The old Taoist hugged Lu Jianxue and slowly rolled off the back of the cow. The three of them and one cow walked into the camp.

Not long after, Qing Niu lay down on the edge of the camp and dozed off. Lu Xuan and Zhao Zheng took Lu Jianxue to sit down beside the campfire. The latter lay in Lu Xuan's arms, dazed by the fragrance in front of him. Keep following the spit.

Lu Niangrong covered her mouth and chuckled. She cut off a small piece of barbecue with a knife and handed it to Lu Jianxue. She smiled and said:

"My name is Lu Niangrong. We are here to defend our country and are heading to Jiangling, Chu Kingdom."

As she said that, she saw the old Taoist man holding the little girl in his arms raised his head, smiled peacefully, and said:

"The poor Taoist's surname is Lu. This is Lu Jianxue, and this is Zhao Zheng. We all come from the Qin State, but we also want to go to Jiangling. It's a coincidence."

"oh?"

A trace of curiosity flashed in Lu Niangrong's eyes:

"Did the Taoist priest also go to Jiangling? I don't know where to go."

After all, she still maintained the most basic vigilance and asked tentative questions.

Lu Xuan rubbed the head of Lu Jianxue, who was munching on the barbecue, and responded softly:

"I heard that Gui Guzi lives near Jiangling, and I want to pay him a visit."

He was telling the truth. Lu Xuan had always been curious. If he could change the past of others, could he change his own past?

Grandpa Chu tore off a small piece of the world and threw Senior Brother Zhang into it. For people of this era, it was the future, but for himself, it was considered the past.

Of course, in a sense, it is also the future.

Hearing the words of the old Taoist, the caravan leader on the side was obviously relieved, while Lu Niangrong was a little surprised and said:

"That's a coincidence. To be honest, Taoist Master, I went to Jiangling just to see if I could visit Guiguzi. Also, I heard that Confucius was going to travel to Jiangling, so I also wanted to pay him a visit."

"Confucius?" Lu Xuan smiled in surprise. Well, it's quite a coincidence.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen Kong Zhongni.

When Lu Niangrong wanted to say something, Zhao Zheng, who had been silent, said thoughtfully:

"I came from the country of self-defense, engaged in business, and took Lu as my surname. If I guess correctly, Miss Lu should be the legitimate daughter of the great merchant Lu Buwei, right?"
