Chapter 5 I am here this year
Snapped--
With a crisp sound, a delicate ceramic teacup fell to the ground, shattering into pieces and scalding hot tea splashing everywhere.
The owner of the tea cup is Lu Tiancheng, the head of the fourth room of the Lu family.
This tea set is said to have been produced in the distant Annan County. It was made by a master of Tongxuan from the Taishang Immortal Sect. He has been using it to drink tea for a long time, and it has the effect of prolonging life. Lu Tiancheng is very fond of it. .
At this moment, Lu Tiancheng ignored his heartache and looked at the housekeeper in front of him in surprise.
"What did you just say? Say it again?"
The housekeeper Lu Shuanglin wiped his forehead and said: "There are rumors outside that Lu Xing was killed by Lu Yu. He used the Feihong Sword and chopped off Lu Xing's head with one sword..."
Feihong Sword!
Lu Tiancheng's pupils shrank.
It was really the Feihong Sword, he heard it right!
This name has a special meaning to the Lu family, not only because it is extremely sharp, but also because its holder is also extremely powerful.
Before the age of thirty, Lu Tianying used this sword to sweep through the four major counties in Jiangzuo. His strength was so powerful that all his peers felt despair.
One day after turning thirty, Lu Tianying suddenly sealed up the Feihong Sword and used an ordinary wooden sword instead.
Some people say that he is lonely because he has no opponent; some people say that he is depressed because he lost to someone; some people say that he has realized a higher realm of swordsmanship, and no sword is better than a sword.
Anyway, Lu Tianying never explained the reason for changing the sword to the public. With his passing, this may be a mystery that will never be solved.
But the memory of the Feihong Sword is still fresh in the minds of the entire Lu family and even the entire Jiangzuo.
"Isn't Lu Xing one of ours? Why did he die in Lu Yu's hands?" Lu Tiancheng asked doubtfully.
The housekeeper hesitated for a while.
"It is said that Lu Xing made his own decision and wanted to go to the third room to capture a maid and give it to Master Ming..."
boom--
Lu Tiancheng slapped his palm on the table.
"Confused!"
"Making your own decision? I think it was Ming'er's instruction!"
"In order to plan the twelve tea mountains in the western suburbs, our fourth house spent so much energy and spent so much money on Lu Xing. It looked like it was about to succeed, but it fell short!"
The housekeeper quickly tried to persuade him: "Master, please calm down and don't get angry. Lu Xing has also brought us a lot of benefits over the years. Even if this line is broken, we actually have nothing to lose..."
Lu Tiancheng snorted heavily, tried to calm down, and said, "This matter is very strange. Have you verified it?"
The housekeeper replied: "Lu Xing is indeed dead. His head and body are hanging at the door of the three-bedroom compound. As for whether he was killed by Lu Yu with the Feihong Sword, it is not clear yet, but..."
"But what?"
"The Feihong Sword is not something to be taken lightly. Even if the kid's Qi Hai was still there before, he couldn't control the Feihong Sword. How could he use it to kill people all of a sudden? The old slave thinks that this kid is most likely doing this on purpose. Designed to win over the hearts of the three families, the smoke was deliberately released.”
Lu Tiancheng was silent.
"And...there is another benefit to this matter."
"Oh? What is it?"
"Master, think about it, our old master has always been partial to Sanfang. If he knew that his son could control the Feihong Sword, what do you think would happen?"
Lu Tiancheng thought for a while and said, "The old man will definitely feel that there is hope for the family's revival, and the Lu family will have another Lu Tianying!"
"That's right!" The housekeeper slapped his thigh, "In this way, none of us can get involved in the things of the third bedroom. Maybe the old master will let each of our bedrooms give up some of their resources to train that boy. It’s the same as when we spent all our efforts to purchase the Wuji Heart Pill!”
Lu Tiancheng took a breath of cold air.
I have to say that this is indeed very possible.
Sanfang was already half cold, but he still wanted to fight to the death.
"snort!"
Lu Tiancheng snorted heavily.
"It's just a trivial thing to try to hide it from the truth, but it's not that easy!"
"We must find a way to expose him!"
"Master, I have a way to make him show his true form..."
"Oh? What can I do?"
The old housekeeper smiled sinisterly and whispered four words.
"Yushan Mine."
…
Three days later, Lu Yu opened his eyes in the sword room.
At this time, the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth had completely dried up.
During the entire process of seclusion, Lu Yu basically relied on the reserves of spirit-gathering pills to complete his training.
And now the Spirit Gathering Pill has been exhausted.
But it's all worth it.
The power of the red lotus cyclone has increased by two levels, and now it has reached the fifth level of the physical realm.
"At the fifth level of the physical realm, this Nine-turn Nirvana Technique is indeed magical, and the training speed is so fast!"
"But it's equivalent to cultivating nine seas of qi at one time. The consumption is simply a bottomless pit."
"We are only at the fifth level of the physical realm now, and the resource consumption is already so huge. I am afraid that the consumption in the future will be even more terrifying. It seems that we need to make a long-term plan."
It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Without the Spirit Gathering Pill, Lu Yu had no choice but to leave seclusion first.
"Ah, Master, you are out of seclusion!"
When he walked out of the sword room, the first thing Lu Yu saw was Xiaozhu with a happy face.
"Master, is this retreat going well?"
Lu Yu nodded: "It's a great harvest."
"That's great!" Xiaozhu danced happily.
Seeing her look like this, Lu Yu couldn't help but smile. It was obvious that this little girl was happy for him from the bottom of her heart.
"Are Fourth Uncle and the others back?" Lu Yu asked.
The smile on Xiaozhu's face suddenly disappeared, and his expression darkened.
"Yes, they are back, but... they are all injured..."
Lu Yu was startled.
"What's going on?"
It turned out that after Lu Yuanshan and his party set out, they encountered an interception before they even left the confines of Lujiang County. A fierce battle broke out between the two sides. Lu Yuanshan and his party were defeated and injured one after another, so they had to turn back the way they came.
"Is it seriously injured?"
"Everyone else is fine. Even Lu Qing, I'm afraid he won't be able to stand up for the rest of his life..."
Lu Yu's eyes narrowed, and the anger in his heart gradually grew.
"Come on, take me to see you."
In the south wing, Lu Yu met Lu Yuanshan and others.
There are six people in Lu Yuanshan's party. Except for Lu Yuanshan, the other five are Lu Yuanshan's sons and nephews, and can be regarded as direct descendants loyal to Lu Yu.
Seeing Lu Yu's sudden appearance, several people were extremely excited, and Lu Yuanshan was in tears.
"Master, are you out of seclusion? I heard from Xiaozhu that your cultivation level has recovered. Is this true?"
Lu Yu held Lu Yuanshan's arms, nodded and said, "It's true."
"But...how is this possible? I have clearly checked that your Qihai has been destroyed..."
"This is because when I was very young, my father left a protective restriction in my body. It was this protective restriction that not only allowed me to reshape the Qi Sea, but also changed my inner breath. Be more pure!”
This was an explanation that Lu Yu had thought up in advance. This explanation was half true and half false. Even Bu Yi, who did it himself at the time, couldn't tell whether it was true or false.
To the Lu family, Lu Tianying was like a mountain standing tall. Such unbelievable things could only be believed if they were related to him.
"So that's it..." Lu Yuanshan suddenly realized, but at the same time he was deeply shocked, "He is indeed the third master!"
Lu Yu checked the injuries of several people one by one.
All six people suffered varying degrees of injuries, of which Lu Qing and Lu Ping were the most seriously injured. Lu Qing, in particular, had all his meridians cut off and his legs shattered. It was unfortunate that he could even save his life. Fortunately for me, the rest of my life is basically useless.
Lu Yu was deeply touched and felt a stagnation of energy in his chest, which was very uncomfortable.
"Fourth uncle, you have suffered..."
"Young master, you are serious. This time, you are a lucky person and you have your own destiny. We have not been able to help you at all..."
"No." Lu Yu insisted, "You have helped me a lot, not only this time, but also in the past... In the years since my father passed away, if it weren't for your help, our third house would have ceased to exist."
Lu Yuanshan waved his hands repeatedly: "Master, don't say such words again! This life of this slave was given by the master. My biggest wish in this life is to see the third house return to the glory of the master when he was alive. For this reason, even if What's the harm in losing this humble life of an old slave?"
Looking at the determined faces in front of him, Lu Yu didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only nod vigorously.
"Do you know who did this?" Lu Yu asked in a deep voice.
Lu Yuanshan hesitated for a moment, then slowly said a name.
"Juncheng Mansion."
Lu Yu felt his chest stagnate.
It’s Xiang Chen again!
It's not enough that this guy plotted against him, he even didn't spare the servant who went out to seek medical treatment for him!
Lu Yu clenched his fists loudly.
"If the young master had not been able to control the Feihong Sword, I would not have spoken out about this. What I am afraid of is that you are young and energetic and will act rashly... Young Master, the county government is indeed hateful, but it is not our current enemy!" Lu Yuanshan He said sincerely.
Lu Yu took a deep breath, met the old housekeeper's worried eyes, and nodded lightly.
"Fourth uncle, don't worry, I have a sense of discretion."
"The county government is so powerful that we are not qualified to fight against them now."
"But I give you a guarantee today. In my lifetime, I, Lu Yu, will sweep the Xiang family into ashes in order to avenge this. Otherwise, I will be sent to the eighteenth level of hell, and I will never be reincarnated!"
Lu Yuanshan was pleased: "Master, you have grown up..."
At this time, Lu Qingyouyou, who had been unconscious, woke up.
Lu Yu walked to the bed and looked at Lu Qing's haggard face.
"Brother Qing, how do you feel?"
When Lu Qing saw Lu Yu, a smile appeared on his white lips.
"Master Yu... this year's Four Counties Martial Arts Competition... I'm afraid I won't be able to get a place for our third room..."
Lu Yu felt as if his heart was pinched hard by something, and he felt inexplicable heartache.
Lu Qing was not a few years older than him. He was in his prime when he suddenly suffered such a big change. The first thing he did when he woke up was not to complain about others, nor to feel depressed. Instead, he was concerned about the fate of Sanfang...
Lu Yu held one of his hands, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but feel a little moist.
"Brother Qing, don't worry, you will have me this year."
Five years.
For the past five years, he has been in trouble because of his cultivation. He has been obsessed with his own problems, rarely paying attention to external affairs, and living in a hazy way.
Now, it's time to take on one's own responsibilities.
