If You Can’t Be a Son-in-law, You Have To Be Sanctified

Outside the setting sun, there are tens of thousands of jackdaws, and clouds and mists surround Taixuan.

Thousands of ravines whispered in the evening, and several peaks stood silently in the setting sun.

The mountains in the northwest of Taixuanjing stand tall and tall. With Lu Jing's eyesight, even if he is sitting in the small courtyard, he can see the mountains in the distance.

The sunset glow in winter, surrounded by clouds and mists, coupled with the towering peaks in the distance, is indeed a rather beautiful scene.

If it was normal, Lu Jing might have moved a chair specially, sat in the courtyard, and admired it carefully.

But today's Lu Jing is not in the small courtyard of Kongshan Lane.

He and Pei Yingui stood under the same roof, watching the four children playing in the distance.

Qingyue and Hancai were also whispering in the room, occasionally there was a burst of laughter like silver bells, coupled with the children playing, it was quite a quiet time.

Lu Jing glanced sideways at Pei Yingui, who was still looking at the four children.

Among the four children, the oldest was about seven or eight years old. Although he was playing with several younger children at this time, he kept looking at Lu Jing frequently.

The seven or eight-year-old children couldn't confirm whether the man standing next to Sister Pei was the one who fed them that night and distracted Su Weilang away.

"Actually, it was just a coincidence. I saw their mother die, behind that locust tree. I also saw those children curled up in a corner. The youngest child was called Hong Nu, who kept pressing her voice and questioning her elder brother. , When will the fairy on the locust tree appear, and when will my mother come back to life?"

"So... I rented a yard and raised them here."

At this time, the sunset glow shone on Pei Yingui's body, and Lu Jing noticed that there was a tiny mark on Pei Yingui's right brow.

At first glance, the imprint is a bit simple, but when you look closely, it looks like a palace under the moon.

For some reason, Lu Jing looked at the mark today in a daze.

It wasn't until Pei Yingui turned his head to look at him that he turned his head away as if nothing had happened.

When Pei Yingui spoke just now, she deliberately lowered her voice to an extremely low level, not wanting those children to hear her just now.

Lu Jing nodded slowly and said, "Miss Pei is stronger than me if she has compassion in her heart and is willing to put it into practice."

Pei Yingui shook his head and said: "At that time, I also saw you throwing wine, and saw you distract those old guards."

"Thinking about it now, coupled with the many rumors circulating in Xuandu, I can also guess that you hadn't taken off the cage of the Lu Mansion at that time.

Those Su Weilang also sent you to the restaurant on Jingyin Street. At that time, you couldn't protect yourself, so if you can lure Su Weilang away in a hurry, why not be as good as me? "

"Nowadays, there are still many children in Xuandu who have been spared from innocent disasters because you drew your sword like a barbarian, and their lives are better."

Pei Yingui said so, then suddenly turned his head, looked at Lu Jing and asked softly: "Sir, I'm actually quite curious, why are you still willing to do something while you've been in the mud for a long time and are used to the indifference of the adults in the mansion?" These reckless things?"

Lu Jing smiled and said, "Because I dreamed of a better era."

"A better era?" Pei Yingui was taken aback.

Lu Jing shook his head casually, looked at the seven or eight-year-old child and said, "His name is Xu Wugui? He is about seven or eight years old this year?"

Pei Yingui replied: "He forgot his exact age, even his parents forgot, only knew that he was born during the busy season of farming, only knew that he must be older than seven or eight years old."

Lu Jing also remembered: "The children in the wilderness look seven or eight years old, but their actual age is always older... The woman who died behind the locust tree is not his biological mother?"

Pei Yin returned: "Xu Wugui is from the southeast of Hezhong Road, and it is also some distance from Taixuanjing. Hezhong Road has suffered a severe drought for six years, and the people are in dire straits. According to him, he and his parents have fled for a long time, hundreds of days and nights." , ate weeds, ate Guanyin soil, and almost crawled all the way.

The strange old man who had traveled with them had a mule that was lean and dying.

The old man's son was very strong. Before he died, no one dared to snatch the mule. The old man was obviously starving to death, so he didn't allow anyone to eat it. "

"Later, he encountered bandits on the road, and his parents, together with the old man's son, were killed by bandits.

Only the old man put the child who was still young on the back of the mule, he didn't know where the strength came from his thin body, and gave him a savage thwack, the mule escaped with Xu Wugui. "

Pei Yingui sighed a little: "But a ten-year-old child remembers this clearly.

It is said that the old man, who was usually silent, saw the mule running away with Xu Wugui on his back, and danced happily. A young bandit swung his sword across, and the old man's head flew up and landed on the wasteland. Still smiling. "

"Later, this child encountered monsters eating people, and was also blocked by officers and soldiers, lest they flow into Taixuanjing.

But the child's fate was a little hard, and he finally entered Xuandu, and another woman who also wandered in Taixuanjing took him in. "

"Actually, the woman who died behind the locust tree had only one daughter, the three-year-old Hong Nu, and she adopted the other three."

Pei Yingui spoke ecstatically, with exclamation all the time in his tone, as if he was lamenting that Xu Wugui's life is worthless, and he should die in the middle of the river.

But Avalokitesvara could not kill him, bandits could not kill him, monsters and officers and soldiers could not kill him.

There are also weeds in grass mustard, which can always grow.

"As a refugee, I can't even eat enough, but I am willing to do good to others. How did that woman die?"

Lu Jing narrowed his eyes and asked softly.

"Xu Wugui didn't say anything, but when I asked him, he just lowered his head and said that there is a grievance and a debtor. As long as he is alive, he can always take revenge."

Lu Jing finally had more appreciation in his eyes, looking at Xu Wugui who was hugging Hong Nu and letting her smell the fragrance of flowers in the courtyard.

"Since he doesn't want to say it, there's no need to ask any more. As the child said, people with cheap lives and those who regard human lives as worthless have one thing in common. They both have only one life. If they are killed, they will also die.

Since he has the obsession for revenge in his heart, he can live a better life in this mortal world. "

Lu Jing said softly.

Pei Yingui was silent, but after a long time, he suddenly said: "Such a young child has to live in the world with hatred, just like... me."

Lu Jing turned to look at Pei Yingui.

Pei Yingui said: "In my hometown, I have also seen many dead children. Even when I was a child, I almost became a corpse placed in the garden."

Naturally, from the tone of her words and the way she chose words and sentences, Lu Jing could tell that Pei Yingui was not from Taixuan, or even from the north of Dafu.

That's why he gave Pei Yingui a pair of couplets before, so he said "This is my hometown where my heart is at ease".

But he never asked too much.

When Pei Yingui saw these children today, he remembered Xu Wugui's past, and he took the initiative to say it, so he became a listener, and he didn't interrupt, just listened attentively.

Pei Yingui's eyes were deep, and he said: "My hometown is rich in lunatics and butchers. I have seen many people who were chatting and laughing one moment, but their heads fell to the ground the next.

The heads of the people I get along with day and night have also been placed in the garden. A hole is always cut out on the top of the head, filled with soil, and planted with seeds.

Human flesh and brain are always nourishing things. After planting seeds, the flowers will be dense and luxuriant in three to five months, which is quite beautiful. "

The words in her mouth were a little scary, but her tone was as calm as ever.

In the past few breaths, Pei Yingui woke up suddenly, turned his head to look at Lu Jing, and said apologetically, "Yingui made a slip of the tongue, and I will apologize to Mr."

There was still some nervousness in her eyes, as if she was afraid that Lu Jing would give her the impression of being a lunatic.

But he never thought about it, Lu Jing's face remained unchanged, and he asked, "Is there no one to resist this kind of land?"

"There are, but how can ordinary people overwhelm the army? High rollers and rangers often come to assassinate, but they always leave their heads."

Pei Yingui frowned: "There is a saying in the Buddha's words, one flower is one world, one leaf is one bodhi.

I often wonder whether the flowers and leaves that bloom from the bloody and sinful head can also give birth to the world. "

Pei Yingui's words were somewhat pessimistic.

At this time, it was getting late, the sunset glow in the sky had faded away, and the sky and the earth had become much darker.

Lu Jing asked again: "King Qi Yuan of the Qi State is tyrannical and likes to kill, the Prince of Qi State is willing to behead and skin...

The royal family is like this, and the common people cannot resist. Are all the officials in the court cold-blooded and ruthless? "

When Pei Yingui heard Lu Jing say the word Qi Guo, he glanced at Lu Jing in surprise, and then realized that his words today had already revealed many signs.

In addition, Lu Jing is Mr. Shulou, so he is familiar with many classics and knows the situation of various countries, so it is not surprising that he can guess it.

Pei Yingui came all the way, keeping his identity strictly hidden.

But talking to Lu Jing today, I said so much without knowing it, and now that Lu Jing guessed where it came from, I didn't feel any worry or panic.

She just shook her head and replied: "It is enough for most courtiers to be cold-blooded and ruthless.

They only look at their 10,000 mu of land, at their own treasures, and at the family slaves prostrate at their feet, how can they remember what is going on in the country? "

"The irony is that the people of Qi State became more and more sad, and when the marsh was dry and fishing, the national power of Qi State suddenly became stronger.

The devil sitting high on the throne, whispering softly every day, turned all the princes in the court into demons and monsters! "

"The good people are all dead, and the rest are afraid, so naturally no one will resist."

Lu Jing frowned and thought for a long time, then whispered softly: "There is always something good, at least Miss Pei has walked out of that bloody place."

"I fought all the way out." Pei Yingui's voice was quiet: "My Guanghan Palace shot through the eyebrows of thousands of people, and I wiped the necks of hundreds of people, and escaped for a year and three months. escaped here."

"But... all the past still lingers in my heart. The human demon sitting on the throne always holds a skull with five orifices burning with will-o'-the-wisps, and looks at me without saying a word and expressionless."

"Mr. Lu Jing, do you think I really escaped?"

Hearing Pei Yingui's words, Lu Jing was silent for a while, and finally turned around: "Let's go to class."

The voice that was originally suppressed by him spread out immediately.

When the child named Xu Wugui in the distance heard Lu Jing's voice, there was a lot of surprise in his eyes.

That night, under the dim moonlight, they never saw Lu Jing's face, but they really heard Lu Jing's voice.

Xu Wugui remembered it carefully and never forgot it.

"Benefactor..." Xu Wugui bowed to Lu Jing from afar.

"It's time for class..." Pei Yingui suddenly waved at them, "Mr. Lu will teach you...to teach us how to read and write."

Xu Wugui and the two younger children suddenly became solemn.

"Reading and literacy..."

They thought so in their hearts, and without saying a word, they entered the room.

But seeing Lu Jing writing, he put down the brush in his hand and picked up the paper.

But I saw it said...

"The winter is over, and the galaxy is always bright."

...

For two consecutive days, Lu Jing went to the courtyard at the end of Kongshan Lane to teach them how to read and write.

When approaching the test in front of the palace, Lu Jing came out of the courtyard again and wanted to go back to the courtyard.

Qing Yue had already gone back, and Lu Jing was walking alone in the long alleyway, and it was another winter night when the stars and the moon were covered by clouds and mists.

Yanglu Street, which was already very quiet, became much quieter at night.

Lu Jing walked alone with his sword, and when he came to the gate of the small courtyard, he didn't go in. Instead, he stopped and looked at the entrance of the empty mountain alley.

The wind and waves are turbulent, the clouds and mists are flowing, and there is a tendency of a black cloud to overwhelm the city.

Lu Jing frowned slightly, but saw a group of people standing in the darkness in the distance.

At this moment, the style of seeking good luck and avoiding bad luck flickered in Lu Jing's mind, and all kinds of information flowed in.

[A gentleman works hard all day long, and is vigilant at night, without blame. 】

【Killed! 】

...

A lot of information flowed quietly, and a voice suddenly came from afar.

"Lu Jing, I don't want to act like a villain. You let the three-eyed stone man stay in the courtyard and protect the maid. I won't do anything to her today."

"Even if you are dead, I will give her an excellent place to go, a fair fortune, and I will only say that you don't want to be swept away by the storm in Xuandu and escape from Taixuanjing, and I won't say that you are dead. die."

in the dark.

Li Yushi walked side by side with another person, passed through the darkness, and occupied the entrance of the empty mountain alley.

Lu Jing looked intently.

But seeing the surrounding storm and clouds dissipate, twelve armored men with different appearances, with gloomy faces, but with the word "death" engraved on their faces, were looking at Lu Jing.

Each of them carried a simple knife on their backs, and their whole bodies were full of vigor and blood, surging into brilliance!

But the one who led the twelve armored men was a woman with a dagger in her hand. The woman covered her face with a light veil, and her eyes were cold.

Lu Jingdong's monster fate, this woman has a very strong monster aura.

At this time, Li Yushi was still holding a folding fan, staring at Lu Jing expressionlessly.

Next to Li Yushi was a burly boy with bare hands and burning eyes.

"Master Yu?"

Lu Jing looked at Li Yushi and the crowd standing at the entrance of Kongshan Alley and Yanglu Street.

They seemed to come from the darkness, silently, without causing anyone to notice!

It is clear……

Since the Seventh Prince wants to do something in Taixuanjing.

Then this killing can't be called an assassination, it can't be called a conspiracy!

Killing Lu Jing on Yanglu Street, Li Yushi, the thirteen dead men of the Chu family, and a general in plain clothes came here...

Before there is any battle, attack and kill Lu Jing!

"Originally, I wanted to wait until after the palace test. The winner of the palace test will be in the limelight in Taixuanjing, and it happens to kill Lu Jing quietly."

"It's just... this Lu Jing actually wants to take part in the palace test, so he needs to act faster."

Chu Yeshan is still in the Shihua Pavilion at the moment, listening to the piano music played, shaking his head, fascinated.

Immediately, the brilliance flickered in his eyes: "Besides, relying on Lu Jing as a bait, the prince's generals cannot be killed, and beheading a few of the prince's followers is a big victory!

After all...this is Taixuanjing, don't cause too much trouble. "

...

In the empty mountain alley, Lu Jing was squinting his eyes, watching Li Yushi and the burly and unarmed Erlang beside him from a distance.

"Young Master Yu is bringing someone as a guest, why don't you introduce him to me?" Lu Jing's voice was calm, and he didn't seem to be flustered.

Li Yushi remained silent and took a step forward.

The burly man also didn't say a word, he just waved lightly.

All of a sudden...

The empty air and blood are filled here, and the murderous intent flows wantonly.

Li Yushi stood on the spot, gently waving the white jade folding fan in his hand.

A gust of wind rose from the ground, stirred up dust, and turned to a tornado.

The tornado filled the air, and Li Yushi's voice came slowly!

"It's not rude to come and go, Mr. Lu Jing... If Zhuo Yaoluo takes a step out of the small courtyard, my tornado will naturally land in your courtyard."

Li Yushi raised his hand, and the tornado moved dozens of feet across in an instant, staying in the distance.

At this moment, Lu Jing was keenly aware that Li Yushi's consciousness was locked on his body.

The burly man disturbed the void and took out a spear from it.

The whole body of the spear was silver and white, but the tip of the spear was crimson. When the burly man swung the spear, there was a sudden sound of piercing in the air... This spear must be very heavy.

And the twelve dead men of Duke Chu's mansion, led by the woman full of monster aura, had already disappeared into the void.

"One god-level one, two god-fire illusory realms, twelve real-turning mortals..."

"There is also a mysterious monk in the sky, guard against Zhuo Yaoluo, if Zhuo Yaoluo changes, he will kill the people in the courtyard!

...

In Nanguo's mansion, at night, Nan Fengmian who was lying on the ground suddenly opened his eyes when he was drunk.

The Xinggu real person around his waist kept shaking.

The drunkenness on Nan Fengmian's face disappeared in an instant, he stood up, walked out of the room, his figure rose from the ground, and the blood flowed innately to communicate with the vitality, so he flew up!

But it just flew not far away.

But he saw an old man in brocade clothes with his hands behind his back blocking his way in the void ahead.

Nan Fengmian knew the identity of the old man at a glance.

It was Chu Guogong's second master, the brother of the Chu family's Guogong.

His name is Chu Yuangu. When he was young, he fought with Duke Chu in the north and south, and he cultivated a body of primordial spirit. He has already reflected several ancient stars, and he is naturally strong for no reason.

Chu Yuangu looked at Nan Fengmian, shook his head and said, "Nephew Fengmian...today..."

"Who is your nephew? Get away from me!"

But he never thought that Nan Fengmian, who came here on Hongxia, would draw his sword at the slightest disagreement!

The energy and blood in his body condensed into a mighty power, and he had the courage to move forward. The Xinggu real person came out of his sheath!

A saber intent was mixed with Nan Fengmian's own saber intent, mixed with the full will of "when traveling, I want to see the world", coupled with his strong strength, he slashed towards Chu Yuangu!

"This madman!"

Chu Yuangu cursed secretly in his heart, he never expected that he and Nan Fengmian would only meet each other face to face, and Nan Fengmian would draw his sword and slash at him!

But he was not afraid at all, there were stars shining in the sky, and the starlight fell on his primordial spirit through the clouds and mist.

Chu Yuangu Yuanshen jumped out, tens of feet high, and stepped towards Nan Fengmian!

...

In the East Palace, Yu Zhuoxian, who was practicing the Bodhisattva method of killing animals with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and tapped lightly on the table.

Behind him, a woman walked out of the palace and said, "They wanted to use Lu Jing to lure you there, so we granted their wish."

"The prince has an order. Lu Jing wants to be rescued. Now he is a young man who has never made a move, but he plays a lot of idle chess step by step. Maybe when the game is broken, idle chess can kill their dragon."

"Fifteen gun-wielding heroes go together, Suzaku, Xuanwu, you two go together!"

Immediately two divine thoughts came here and fell into it.

The two women headed away with their primordial spirits.

"This is Xuandu, so it should look like Xuandu, don't make too much noise... If there is a big noise, there will naturally be Xuanyi guards to stop it.

But Lu Jing always wanted to save him, so he asked Pan Longjun to go too this time, to see if he could find some opportunities to pick off a few heads. "

A series of orders came out from the cold, ordinary-looking woman...

And there is already a big disturbance in Taixuanjing.

In the study building, Mr. Guanqi said expressionlessly: "Taoyao..."

On the fifth floor of this self-cultivation tower, there is no Mr. Eleven named "Taoyao", but there is a scent of peach blossoms.

In Taixuanjing, above the emperor's seat, Shengjun opened his eyes and looked at the library with great interest, and there was still a search in his eyes.

It seems to be waiting for... an explanation from the library.

...

In the empty mountain alley!

"Master Yu, your battle is too big."

The black sandalwood sword on Lu Jing's waist shone brightly.

Li Yushi said expressionlessly: "Because this matter is irreparable, if you give me another chance, I will not intervene in Xu Baiyan's matter.

I know that you are arrogant and do not want to be under the command of the crown prince or the seventh prince. If you do it again, you and I can be friends. "

"But we can only wait for one reincarnation."

Boom!

Li Yushi hasn't finished speaking yet.

However, he saw that the man with the gun rushed straight into the void like a star falling from the ground into the sky, filled with energy and blood, and stabbed him with a spear!

This shot... was so murderous that it shook the surrounding houses, and pieces of green tiles rustled down!

This shot was too fast, as fast as lightning and silver light, and like a cold light reflecting stars, it came in an instant.

But Li Yushi's Divine Sense at the second level of Divine Fire turned into a big snake that resists the wind in an instant.

This boa constrictor was like a demon god alive, flying through the clouds, with the abyss reflected in his eyes, and finally spit out a long letter, and was about to roll away towards Lu Jing.

The supernatural power of the python to control the wind!

As soon as Li Yushi made a move, he didn't hold back.

Just like the general in the first level of divine appearance.

And that woman who was also in the Divine Fire Void Realm, exuding a demonic aura, led twelve dead men into the void!

It is also at this moment.

Lu Jing just felt that every inch of the world around him was filled with cold light, and he wanted to scrape off every inch of his body!

At this time, it seems to be a dead end.

Mr. Eleven came on the wind, in the clouds and mist, and was about to make a move.

But suddenly there was a light snort...

The clouds in the sky were clear and foggy, and a ray of starlight reflected down, falling on Lu Jing just like that!

"Master Yu wants to kill me..."

"Did you ask me?"

I tried my best, sorry, T﹏T
