Chapter 711 Governor
Two months ago.
Mr. Zhong said that he had found the inner alchemy furnace.
Moreover, the Zhenge Auction House has a Suzaku-level Nascent Soul puppet, whose strength can reach that of the Great True Monarch. It is said that it has the potential to become a Tianji puppet. It is a pity that it is not adapted to the Zifu and the inner alchemy furnace, otherwise the strength of this puppet can be improved.
Lu Jing was still very happy.
After staying in Tianji City for six years, I finally got the internal news from the Great Instrument Sect.
Six years.
It took a lot of patience to wait for this inner alchemy furnace.
The only good news is that the organization has not sent him any difficult tasks in the past six years. Even if there are tasks, they are mostly trivial and can even be completed by walking in the surrounding cities.
It made him feel a lot more relaxed.
"Six years." Lu Jing looked up at the stars in the sky.
He has been purchasing elixirs and increasing his strength over the years.
However, in order to reach the peak, monks in the later stages of Golden Core need more than just resources. They also need time to accumulate mana and perfect their true meaning, which can't be done any faster.
In this realm, as long as there are no bottlenecks, it is necessary to burn high incense, so how can we talk about rapidly improving our strength like those geniuses and Taoists?
He is considered a little genius, and his spiritual root talent is also excellent. However, on the road to immortality, his spiritual root is just a stepping stone, which can make him far ahead of others before taking the first step.
Once you take the first step, there is no such big advantage.
If you want to enhance your own strength, you can only use foreign objects.
Such as power, slaves, puppets, magic weapons...
Therefore, he was eager to find a place to repair the strange Taoist weapon.
At least with the Dao soldiers, he will have strength far beyond that of the same level, and can even use the Dao soldiers to kill enemies across levels.
This is undoubtedly the best way to increase combat power.
Of course, there are definitely risks.
That strange Taoist soldier even has eyes, and is about to grow hands and feet. It looks very evil at first glance.
He obviously had no choice.
Now that six years have passed, with the magical power of Taoist soldiers to absorb evil spirits and repair themselves, at least a certain amount of magic should have been restored, and maybe it was complete.
Lu Jing planned to go get the Taoist soldiers after finishing this trip.
…
I counted the days with my fingers and found that more than a month has passed since the last time Mr. Zhong talked about the inner alchemy furnace and the puppet. The auction will be held in the middle of next month.
With the spiritual stone wealth in the ring, no one should be able to compete with him.
While he was lost in thought, a figure approached from outside the door and stood on the patio of the small courtyard.
The visitor was wearing a black robe.
It was a masked man he had never seen before.
The man spoke as if he had seen him before: "There are signs of what you mentioned. The governor has come personally to talk to you."
After speaking, he threw a token to Lu Jing, and then said: "Tianmenfang, Jujun Tower, you take the token and go to that place to wait in three days."
Lu Jing took the token and said, "Okay!"
"It seems that the organization still has a human touch."
Lu Jing smiled, clenched the token in his hand, and said, "Mr. Wu, why don't you stay here first, and I'll go talk to the governor myself. As long as we pay enough spirit stones, we should be able to leave the organization. "
"No, if you want to go, go together."
"We must be fully prepared for this trip. If necessary, we have to use the Taoist weapon." Elder Wu's voice came.
Lu Jing grew up in the organization and definitely trusts the organization. But he is different. The human heart cannot withstand speculation, the only thing you have to do is to be prepared.
Lu Jing pondered and said, "Please ask Mr. Zhong to be a matchmaker?"
"No way."
Mr. Wu shook his head slightly and said: "If the organization's affairs are known to outsiders, it will not be so simple for us to escape. We may even involve Brother Zhong in it."
"Since we are in Tianji City, it won't be that easy."
Lu Jing had seen how powerful the Tianji City monks were, so he felt that it was too reckless to take action at that time. Since the organization did not want to be discovered, the governor would definitely not take action against them.
"How about I let you leave? I..."
Lu Jing hesitated for a long time without speaking.
He really didn't know what to do after leaving the organization. He had grown up in the organization since he was a child.
It seems that cultivation is not just for the sake of immortality and immortality. In other words, many people have immortality and immortality as their goals, but he doesn't think he can go that far.
Maybe there will be a day when I can no longer walk, and with my good cultivation, I can still get the position of governor.
Then it spread out its branches and leaves, and a family of monks flourished.
It is actually easy for a practitioner to create a family of monks, but there is no way to control the spiritual roots of future generations. With his talent and cultivation, there is a high probability that his descendants will have spiritual roots. How far they can go depends on their own destiny.
He does not necessarily have to leave the organization like Mr. Wu.
"Are you really willing to be someone else's knife?"
"I don't want to see the scenery of freedom."
"Free?"
Lu Jing shook his head slightly: "I don't feel unfree. Maybe there's nothing wrong with it. I don't have to see the so-called scenery."
Right or wrong he doesn't really care.
If he really cared, he wouldn't become a killer.
He wanted to help because of this friendship, which was not master and apprentice but was better than master and apprentice.
The Yin Shen of the Nascent Soul monk will not dissolve so easily. Just like people have a life span and will die when their destiny is reached, the Nascent Soul will also die, and this time will be greatly extended when there are spiritual objects to entrust it.
However, this is not a long-term solution, and you still need a physical body to carry it.
So after getting a large amount of spiritual stones, he followed Mr. Wu's advice and came to Tianji City, left the Zi Mansion, warmed up the Taoist soldiers, and contacted the organization.
Sometimes, even if we are masters and apprentices, there will be a moment when our fate ends.
On the road, everyone has their own choices, and no one will be anyone's puppet.
The fact that Lu Jing was still able to think after Mr. Wu put forward the idea of freedom just shows that he is very clear about his own path, he is free, and he is not imprisoned.
Mr. Wu was silent for a long time before sighing and saying, "I'm very happy that you think so. You have gone your own way."
It's right to say that if you don't find your own way, how can you reach the late stage of Jindan and how can you understand the true meaning. This is the Tao that Lu Jing himself has realized, and it is the embodiment of his Tao heart, rather than simply following his words.
People who don't have their own path, even if they have unparalleled talents and talents, will never become enlightened.
Lu Jing said: "I'm sorry, Master."
"Nothing to be sorry about."
Wu Laodao: "On the contrary, I feel sorry for you. After sharing weal and woe for so many years, you finally have to plot something."
In the cloak, Mr. Wu looked slightly lonely.
He wanted to stay in the cloak and continue teaching this disciple.
However, he also longed for freedom. He wanted to get rid of such a predicament, and he happened to have the conditions to get out of the predicament, so he proposed it at this time.
"Not to mention this, even if the puppet is really perfected, you and I will not part ways."
…
Three days later.
Tianmenfang.
Jujun Tower.
Lu Jing, who had an ordinary face, crossed the threshold calmly.
After all, he didn't go to get Dao soldiers.
First, he felt that force would not be used in the city, and second, he did not want to disturb Zhong Songtang.
Mr. Zhong helped him put the soldier ring into the Heavenly Pond for raising soldiers, and it was taken care of by Yuanying, who was acquainted with him. Once he went to pick it up, Mr. Zhong would definitely be alarmed.
The old man's mind is active and he will definitely think too much. He said that he could fool him by making up an excuse, but he really underestimated Zhong Songtang.
I'm afraid even Zhong Han couldn't fool him, so how could he fool the elder of the Great Weapon Sect.
If he really made it clear, the Zhong family would be involved. Anyway, Tianmenfang is a relatively conspicuous location in the city. Under the suppression of the Tianji Formation, the monk can use very little magic power. He can talk to the governor with confidence. It is just a simple matter.
If they really took action, wouldn't it mean that the law enforcement soldiers in Tianji City were like nothing, or that the Ya Sheng who was in charge of Tianji City was just a loser?
The more advanced one is in cultivation, the less he dares to use force in Tianji City.
On the contrary, those with low cultivation level are the hardest hit areas.
The possessed monks are another matter.
They are already possessed by demons, so how can they care about life, death and laws.
Monks possessed by demons are different from those demons born with spiritual wisdom.
…
Lu Jing tightened the cloak-shaped cassock around him and walked into the majestic hall with carved railings and jade walls.
The two sides of Jujun Tower are symmetrical, with long corridors and stairs winding upward. The boy who led the way took Lu Jing, who was hanging the token, through the long corridor, over the stairs, and came to a wing isolated by the formation.
After walking through the wing room, I came to a small courtyard and an elegant room.
There is also the meticulousness of the formation.
What comes into view is a screen that isolates most of the wing.
Even though there was nothing on the screen, Lu Jing did not dare to look up. He raised his hands and saluted: "The murderer Lu Jing, pays homage to the governor."
"sit down."
A slightly calm voice came from behind the screen.
"yes."
Lu Jing looked at the table in front of him, where the spiritual objects and delicacies were neatly arranged, as well as the fine wine and delicacies that had been poured.
Feeling confused.
However, he did not ask questions, but sat down with his butt half next to the seat, as if he was listening to the instructions of the monk behind the screen.
"Lu Jing, two hundred and thirty-three years old. He entered the organization and became a monk at the age of fourteen. He has handled thirteen major cases. Forty..."
The monk behind the screen recited about Lu Jing's life, briefly omitting only the simplest moments, and then changed the topic: "Wu Zhu is assigned to you by the organization, and you choose it yourself."
"If you want to leave, it's not your fault alone."
Lu Jing said in a deep voice: "I am willing to offer spiritual stones to redeem Mr. Wu's life."
"good!"
"Sure enough, he speaks quickly."
Footsteps sounded, and a monk with a bamboo hat on his head walked out of the screen, sat on the other side of the table, and said with a smile: "Wu Zhu, we haven't seen each other for so many years, we should finally meet him."
Elder Wu's expression changed slightly, but he still took off his cloak and gathered it into a human shape.
Also sit on the other side of the desk.
"It's understandable that you want to leave the organization. The organization will not make things difficult for you unless you don't want to give anything."
"As long as you two can promise me one thing, I will not only take nothing from you, but I will also set up a few tables to see you off." The monk in the hat said calmly.
Lu Jing was overjoyed and asked, "What's the matter?"
Wu Zhu on the side frowned slightly.
The monk in the bamboo hat did not give in, but continued: "Hand over the Tianji puppet."
"From now on, the sky is big and the earth is big, let you two ride freely!"
"What does the Governor mean by this?"
Lu Jing's heart skipped a beat.
"We don't have any secret puppets at all."
The monk in the bamboo hat chuckled and said: "Wu Zhu has a Tianji Purple Mansion in his hand, which is enough to transform the puppet into a Tianji puppet."
Then he looked at Mr. Wu and said, "If I had asked for it back then, you would have preferred to be locked up in Tianji Pavilion rather than give it to me. But now, Zi Mansion has taken it out and it is in Zhong Songtang's hands."
"At this time, I will use your lives to make a deal with him. Will he give me the Zifu and the inner alchemy furnace?"
"I don't want to go to such an extreme. How about we each take a step back. You hand over the Zifu and the inner alchemy furnace, and I let you leave the organization to survive."
Lu Jing's expression finally changed.
Listening to the governor's words, it seemed that he had known all this for a long time.
It is even possible that he has been paying close attention to Mr. Wu and his movements for so many years.
Mr. Wu stared at the monk in the bamboo hat in front of him and said seriously: "You are going to die."
"good."
"It's precisely because I'm about to die that I need the Tianji Puppet to keep me alive."
The Governor admitted frankly: "Because I am about to die, so you two should not force me to do anything."
"who are you?"
"I?"
The governor smiled and took off the hat on his head.
Mr. Wu immediately opened his eyes and shouted sternly: "It's you!"
