Chapter 195 Buddha comes to Jiangling City, Lu Xuan’s bloody disaster
Lu Niangrong held her head up, her handsome face shining brightly in the light of the bonfire, and she smiled sweetly:
"Yes, my father is Lu Buwei. He went to Jiangling this time to take care of the business there."
As she said that, her heart moved slightly. The old Taoist and young man in front of her were indeed not simple. This young man was obviously a morning cow, but he could guess his origin from a few words. I'm afraid his background was not too small. He should be a child of a big family.
While her mind was spinning, Lu Niangrong had some guesses. Probably this young man named Zhao Zheng was the disciple accepted by Taoist Master Lu. He left the family and walked in the world of mortals.
While she was thinking, she chatted with Zhao Zheng. The Taoist sat quietly in front of the campfire with his eyelids slightly vertical. Lu Jianxue was chewing on the barbecue one bite after another. His cheeks were bulging and his words were slurred.
Soon, everyone became familiar with each other, and the caravan leader also lowered his guard a little, and chatted with each other,
Zhao Zheng and Lu Niangrong also talked happily. One was the legitimate daughter of the great merchant Lu Buwei, and the other was the future monarch of the Qin Dynasty. Zhao Zheng, who had been following Qin Mugong for thirty years,
They do have something in common with each other.
As time passed, the bright moon gradually rose into the sky, and the bonfire gradually dimmed a little, no longer as strong as before.
'belch! ’
Lu Jianxue patted her round belly, wiped the oil stains at the corner of her mouth with her sleeve, and said with satisfaction:
"I'm full, I'm full! I'm full!"
Lu Niangrong looked sideways, chuckled and joked:
"Xiao Jianxue, you can't eat like this, you will gain weight. If you gain weight, you will be worried and it will be difficult to walk in the future!"
"What's wrong with being fat?" Xiao Jianxue said naively: "It's okay if I don't walk. Grandpa Niu can carry me!"
Lu Niangrong laughed a little, and Zhao Zheng also knocked Xiao Jianxue on the head helplessly. The latter was in pain and hugged his head aggrievedly, with water shining between his big eyes:
"It hurts! Don't knock!"
The Taoist who had been sitting silently raised his eyelids and smiled gently:
"It's not too early, that's it for today."
Looking at the bright moon in the sky, Lu Niangrong nodded simply. After meticulously arranging the guards for the night, she vacated two more tents for Lu Xuan and the others, and said with a smile:
"When I'm away from home, I can't make so many preparations, so the tent is a bit crude. I hope the Taoist priest won't be offended."
"Where are you talking?"
Lu Xuan smiled faintly, and after narrating a few words to Zhao Zheng, he led Lu Jianxue into the tent.
Not long after, Lu Jianxue lay down in the tent and fell asleep. It gradually became quiet outside, and everything became quiet.
Lu Xuan didn't fall asleep, or he didn't need sleep. He just sat cross-legged and practiced quietly.
In a blink of an eye, he has stayed in this spring and autumn for seven years. During these seven years, Lu Xuan has not stopped moving forward, cultivating deeply at the Earth Immortal level and exploring the mysteries of the [Earth Immortal Realm].
At the same time, he has not relaxed his practice of magical powers such as [Mediating Creation]. He seems to be still at the peak level of the Earth Immortal, but in terms of combat power, it has nearly doubled compared to seven years ago.
Of course, this is without the [Unity of Virtue] and the blessing of ancient humane fortune.
"Where is the ultimate realm of the earthly immortal level?"
Lu Xuan fell into thinking. When building the jade tower, he opened five more orifices on top of the three hundred and sixty orifices, which would be the ultimate state; when climbing the divine ladder, he used the jade steps on the Tai Tai as his support, and the heaven and man were unified, and the body and soul were unified. Touching the wonderful principles of heaven and earth is the ultimate state.
In the realm of earthly immortals, after reaching the gate of heaven and experiencing nine tribulations, where should the ultimate realm be?
While thinking, Lu Xuan's brows knit together unconsciously. Thanks to his near-path physique forged by the Third Master, even though he has reached the limit of the Earth Immortal, he has been able to continuously breathe out his vitality and strengthen in the past seven years. physical body,
But there is still no clue about the [Earthly Immortal Realm]
"If this continues, my physical body may be able to crush the real immortal to death."
After a silent wry smile, Lu Xuan multitasked and sank into the sea of his own soul.
Here and here,
I saw the Three Five Evil-Slaying Sword, the Sky-Bearing Fishing Drum, the Jade Glazed Lamp and the four square bronze fragments lying across the bottom. At the top of the spiritual world hung the long sword surrounded by mysterious green lotus.
The most unspectacular thing is the broken Heaven-turning Seal, huddled in the corner, seeming to be trembling under the pressure of several treasures.
His spiritual mind scanned several treasures, but Lu Xuan didn't pay too much attention. With a slight thought, countless golden inscriptions on the Dao emerged and surrounded them. Every word was shining, explaining the mysterious and mysterious Tao and Tao. reason.
"Through the mediation of creation, there are a total of 1,800 Dao characters, and I have obtained the number of 500; the two swords of Zhu and Slaughter each have a thousand Dao characters, and I have obtained the number of 400 each;"
"[Dao Sheng Yi] is mysterious and mysterious. Although there are only eight hundred avenues of writing, the difficulty of analysis is even higher than that of other methods. So far, I have only obtained two hundred and fifty."
After sorting it out, Lu Xuan frowned unconsciously. Now he seems to have reached a bottleneck period.
The difficulty of understanding these four great supernatural powers and wonderful methods becomes more and more difficult as you progress to the next stage. From the very beginning, you can understand dozens of Dao characters with just a cup of tea.
But now, like mediating fortune, it takes a full month to parse a Dao text. Fortunately, I can multi-task, otherwise it would take me who knows how long to practice one discipline.
"Is it really necessary to [Chaotian Que] and become a true immortal in advance?"
Standing in the sea of his own soul, Lu Xuan's thoughts became complicated. If he did not find the method of [Earth Immortal Realm] or enter the level of true immortal within a short period of time, he would
It is indeed difficult to make big progress.
Even the large and small magical powers obtained by the Nine Sects through the Immortal Tribulation are now facing a bottleneck period. They have already started, but they stopped before [Xiao Cheng] and are not allowed to enter for the time being.
"The way of the Earth Immortal lies in experiencing tribulations. I have gone through nine tribulations. Where is the extreme of this realm?"
After thinking for a long time to no avail, Lu Xuan sighed, gathered his thoughts, and used the fourth party's bronze fragments that could edit the basic rules of heaven and earth to complete the acupoints of heaven and earth in his left hand and the [Utopia] in his right hand as usual.
Nowadays, the small world in the acupoint on the left hand is quite complete, and there is even the existence of vegetation and green shade. However, it is still unable to create real creatures, nor can it open up spiritual wisdom for the vegetation and shade.
The changes in [Utopia] are not small. In seven years, the hundreds of millions of living beings in [Utopia] spontaneously overthrew hundreds of schools and only respected [Lu Zi]. The thoughts of all the sentient beings gathered became more and more profound.
It also makes this small world become thicker and more real. Its sheer weight can probably crush even large items to death.
But similarly, like other laws and practices, the improvement of Xiaotiandi has also reached a bottleneck, and it is difficult to have a big surge in the short term.
Shaking his head, Lu Xuan gathered all his thoughts and stopped thinking too much. Instead, he used all his thoughts to understand the "Tao Te Ching".
He had a hunch that when this [Tao Te Ching] is fully explained to the world, it may have great benefits.
While Lu Xuan was immersed in practice.
In [Utopia], or under [Utopia].
Otao was carrying the entire extremely heavy little world, and the blood in his mouth continued to overflow, almost forming a big river under his feet, and his eyes became distracted.
"It's getting heavier and heavier."
He said feebly.
………………
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, the caravan set off again, heading towards Jiangling City in Chu State. What was different at the same time was that there was an additional young man in his twenties or thirties, a green bull, and a green bull's back. The old Taoist man and the little girl are on the stairs.
There has been no major disturbance for half a month. The occasional bandits or the like were encountered, but they were all dealt with neatly by the caravan guards.
The most 'dangerous' time was when a big bandit with a celestial level appeared, but his head was beheaded by Lu Niangrong with a sword. He was so graceful that Zhao Zheng's eyes went straight.
As we approached Jiangling, the old man on the back of the cow asked with a half-smile:
"Xiao Zheng, are you tempted?"
"What?" Zhao Zheng's face turned slightly red and he became a little dull.
Lu Jianxue, who was holding two big horns and sitting on the cow's head, asked curiously:
"What is temptation?"
Lu Xuan just smiled and said nothing.
Another half month later, they finally arrived in Jiangling. Under Lu Niangrong's warm greeting, Lu Xuan and others also moved into Lu's Trading House. In fact, it didn't matter where they lived. More importantly, Lu Xuan planned to fulfill Zhao Zheng's wish.
It is rare to have a sweetheart only after you are over thirty.
Of course, the main reason was that he was in no hurry to look for Guiguzi. The time had not yet come.
To be precise, it's the [past] self and Grandpa Chu who haven't come yet.
After another two months, chaos gradually broke out in Jiangling City. This city was once the capital of the Chu Kingdom. It was extremely prosperous and had an excellent geographical location. It was connected in all directions and merchants from various cities and countries flocked to it.
So much so that Gangneung developed into a place similar to a [financial center] in later generations.
Wherever there are people, there are fights, and merchants are the most profit-oriented. The commercial houses in the city fight overtly and secretly among themselves, and the situation becomes more and more intense.
Late winter.
In Lu's Trading Company, Lu Niangrong rubbed her brows and listened to the report from the manager of the trading bank.
"The Bai family, the Fan family, and the Duanmu family have a vague tendency to form an alliance. They all seem to be planning to kick us, the Lu family, out of the game. After repeated attacks, we suffered extremely heavy losses."
As he spoke, the manager sighed and spoke softly:
"Miss, do you want to use unconventional means?"
"No." Lu Niangrong shook her head and said, "As a businessman, we only pursue profit, not life, let alone do things that violate the rules."
"Yes." The manager of the commercial bank smiled bitterly: "But those three companies are chasing us fiercely, and they do a lot of dirty things secretly breaking the rules."
Lu Niangrong sighed again and said quietly:
"Didn't you also say that it was secretly? We have no direct evidence. If we retaliate openly and use force to fight back, we will be the ones who lose our reputation and violate the rules. And I, Mrs. Lu, don't even bother to use such dirty and shameful methods."
The steward responded with a wry smile, thinking that the young lady was too pedantic.
While the two were discussing, someone knocked on the door and walked in. When she saw the person, Lu Niangrong's brows relaxed a little:
"Brother Zhao, what's the matter?"
Zhao Zheng smiled, with a look of reluctance flashing in his eyes, and said regretfully:
"We've been bothering here for several months, but it's almost done. It's time for us to leave."
"oh?"
Lu Niangrong was stunned for a moment, and an imperceptible disappointment flashed across her face, and then she forced a smile and said:
"There is no such thing as a banquet in the world, but I should hold a big banquet when Brother Zhao leaves. Director Lu Daochang has also been giving me guidance on my practice during this time, and I have benefited a lot every time."
With that said, she Shi Shiran stood up and ordered to the steward beside her:
"Let's make arrangements to have the chefs from the best restaurants in the city come."
"Yes." The steward wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing. He just responded respectfully and then slowly retreated.
After he left, Zhao Zheng smiled bitterly and said:
"Actually, it doesn't have to be like this. My adoptive father-in-law doesn't really like such a pomp."
Lu Niangrong’s smile was as bright as a flower:
"I'm just trying my best. Speaking of which, I have never asked you, what is the name of your adopted father-in-law?"
"That's a long story." Zhao Zheng shrugged and said immediately: "By the way, Xiao Jianxue is clamoring for some candied haws, so I'm going to buy it for her. Do you want to eat it? I'll bring it to you. A bunch?”
Lu Niangrong smiled twice and blinked:
"I'm old enough, so you don't need me to go with you. I've been busy with my affairs recently, and I haven't had a good time to relax for a long time. I've been here in Jiangling for so long, and I haven't even had a good look at Jiangling."
After a pause, she said thoughtfully:
"Would you like to call Taoist Master Lu on board? I see that Taoist Master Lu has been practicing cultivation in the past two months without leaving home."
"Sure, I'll go ask."
Zhao Zheng simply nodded, walked to the front of an inner room, knocked on the door and entered, then respectfully narrated to the old man who was sitting upright.
Lu Xuan raised his eyelids, expecting to refuse, but suddenly on a whim, the cause and effect vibrated, and the five orifices of [Shape, Sound, Hearing, Taste and Touch] and [Tao Sheng Yi] all responded,
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and when he couldn't figure out the reason, he simply agreed.
"Then let's take a walk around Jiangling City. I've been here for so long and I really haven't had a good look at the city. Bring the kid Jianxue with you."
According to estimates, it will probably take a few days for the [past] self and Grandpa Chu to arrive, but there is no rush.
"Yes, adoptive father-in-law."
Zhao Zheng bowed respectfully.
Not long after, Lu Xuan walked forward with his eyes lowered. Zhao Zheng held Lu Jianxue who was very happy, side by side with Lu Niangrong, half a step behind. The four of them all walked out of the luxurious house of Lu's Trading Company.
Walking on the street, Lu Jianxue was quickly fascinated by the various things on the long street, and she drooled:
"Tanghulu, little sugar figures, candied fruits, sugar paintings, fried chestnuts"
Every time she read one, she became more greedy. After reading it, Xiao Jianxue scratched her head and scratched her head, her two watery eyes shining.
Lu Xuan laughed a little. This girl was almost as greedy as Xiao Yan.
I really didn’t give her the wrong name!
He named the little girl Lu Jianxue. The surname was after his own, and the meaning of Jianxue was because of the snowstorm that occurred one hundred thousand miles away. The other reason was that Lu Xuan missed Yan Jiangxue a few years ago in his dream.
Therefore, he took the name Jianxue.
While Lu Xuan shook his head helplessly, Lu Niangrong said amusedly:
"Xiao Jianxue, do you want to eat? Call me sister and she will buy it for you."
"Sister! Sister! Sister!" Lu Jianxue's eyes shone: "I called three times and bought three times the price!"
The three of them all laughed a little. Zhao Zheng stroked his forehead helplessly, and Lu Niangrong touched her nose speechlessly. When she was about to say something, suddenly.
"I am the Buddha with mercy."
Several people looked sideways subconsciously, but they saw a fat monk standing aside with a smile, holding a string of huge Buddhist beads in his hand.
I don't know when a layer of deep gray clouds appeared in the sky, completely covering the entire sky.
The fat monk walked over slowly, made a salute, smiled at the old Taoist who looked like he was dying, and said:
"This benefactor, this poor monk sees that your hall has turned black, and there is a disaster of blood and light, a disaster of blood and light!"
Lu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and Zhao Zheng beside him became furious:
"How do you, a monk, talk?"
Although Lv Niangrong was not annoyed, she was a little embarrassed. A monk told a Taoist that the Yintang would turn black and it would be a bloody disaster.
The fat monk still looked smiling:
"Oh, the poor monk is just telling the truth."
"You" Zhao Zheng rolled up his sleeves, glared, and was about to step forward, but was stopped by an old palm.
Lu Xuan stopped Zhao Zheng, took a step forward slowly, and raised his eyelids. There were countless stars rising and falling in the originally turbid and ordinary pupils, and chaotic energy was flowing.
"Dare you ask the eminent monk the Buddha's name?"
The fat monk chuckled, patted his big belly again, and said compassionately:
“Isn’t the bloody disaster of the donor coming soon?”
As he said that, he got out of the way, but he saw people with evil faces coming from the front and the left of the long street. Lu Niangrong's expression suddenly changed:
"Bai family, Fan family, Duanmu family"
At this time, the fat monk on the side said with a smile:
"Before the donor asks the poor monk for his Dharma name, should he tell his own name?"
Lu Xuan did not look at the gradually increasing number of practitioners on the long street. He just squinted at the fat monk:
"Pindao, Xuanqing."
"Poor monk." The fat monk clasped his hands together in a compassionate gesture, which looked like a solemn treasure, but there was something evil about it.
"Poor monk, Maitreya."
(I’m on a long trip today, so I’m tired of traveling and traveling, so I’m taking a chapter off, so there will only be two updates for the time being!)
I recommend a book called Immortal Grass Seedlings. Those who are short on books can read it.
