Lan Ke Qi Yuan Chapter 253: Seeking to enter the underworld
When Lu Chengfeng said this, his tone was obviously self-deprecating.
"I think it was early spring when the nine of us first met at Luoxia Villa..."
Back then, nine young heroes from all walks of life followed their elders to Luoxia Villa to attend the ceremony. They were all high-spirited, and they only got together for two or three days to express their heroic feelings together. It feels like meeting someone too late.
I accidentally heard that a tiger was attacking people somewhere in Jizhou, and the local government was quite helpless. The nine people who relied on their martial arts hit it off and went to Ning'an County together...
Although Lu Chengfeng said that he could not remember the names of the other eight people, some key past events were vividly remembered, and more things gradually became clear as he recalled them. When they reached a certain position in his memory, which ones People blurt out everything they do.
Ji Yuan could feel it, not just because he had just reported the nine names, but because when Lu Chengfeng recalled this memory, that person naturally came to mind, so he couldn't say that he had really forgotten it. the other party.
Ji Yuan didn’t speak during the whole process, he just acted as a qualified listener.
Lu Chengfeng didn't recall too much, he just preached until he saw Ji Yuan in the dilapidated mountain temple, because Ji Yuan knew everything that happened afterwards.
After talking about how he first met Ji Yuan when he arrived at the mountain temple, he looked up at Ji Yuan.
"Mr. Ji, tell me, if we had not come to Ning'an County with all our ambitions and had not gone to the mountains to eliminate the tigers, wouldn't the results of many things have been different?"
Ji Yuan tapped his knuckles on the jade slips that turned into bamboo slips, thought for a moment and replied with a smile.
"As far as you, Mr. Lu, are concerned, the original Mr. Lu just lost one adventure experience, and his life trajectory may not change much. The real ones who have the greatest impact are naturally Du Heng, as well as Luo Ningshuang, Zhao Long and Yan Fei. People."
What Ji Yuan said was true. At the beginning, five people, including Lu Chengfeng, were unscathed except for being frightened. The injuries of the four injured were each more serious and the impact was greater.
Not to mention Du Heng, who lost his right arm in the end, it was Luo Ningshuang, a heroine with originally ice-skinned skin who had several deep wounds on her chest and abdomen starting from the base of her neck. It’s almost the same as breaking up. In this feudal society, the world is still dominated by men. Most female heroes end up marrying as wives, and women love beauty in common. The terrible scars left on their bodies are a big influence.
As for Zhao Long, who wielded the stick, he was injured by the tiger's tail, and the internal damage was also extremely serious. I haven't heard anything about Zhao Long in these years, and I don't know what happened to him.
And Yan Fei was seriously injured by the sharp claws, but facing the monster and life and death directly allowed him to make a breakthrough after recovering from the injury.
In general, these four people can really be regarded as influencing their lives, but Lu Chengfeng is far from enough.
Of course, the biggest impact may be on Ji Yuan himself. During that most difficult time, no one came to carry him down the mountain.
Hearing Ji Yuan's words, Lu Chengfeng also laughed at himself again.
"Mr. Ji's lesson is right."
Ji Yuan, looking at his vicissitudes of life and depressed look, must have experienced one or more things that he regretted. People always avoid and want to go back to the past and change the past at such times.
"Hero Lu, you can confide your concerns with Ji. No one stipulates that heroes of the world should not hurt the spring and the autumn."
As Ji Yuan spoke, he stood up and walked to the kitchen, took out two pottery bowls, placed them on the stone table, and gently patted the wine jar to remove the sealing mud.
Smell the aroma of the wine and pour the wine into two bowls.
This wine smells faint of medicinal materials, and is not an ordinary grain wine and fruit wine.
Lu Chengfeng was not polite. He picked up the bowl and toasted Ji Yuan before drinking up a large bowl of wine. Tasting the taste of the wine, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"Mr. Ji, I have met Du Heng. I would like to ask you..."
Lu Chengfeng raised his head and looked at Ji Yuan, his eyes meeting those blue eyes.
"Are you really a god?"
Although Ji Yuan saved their lives at the beginning, he did not show any too magical methods. An expert must be an expert, but just like some temples and temples, there will also be powerful magicians.
As age and experience increase, similar experts will also understand something, some of which are even more mysterious, and the previous awe of Mr. Ji will gradually weaken in their thinking.
But after meeting Du Heng again and learning something from his mouth, Mr. Ji's sense of mystery deepened again.
"Did Master Lu come here to see Ji, or to see the gods?"
Ji Yuan said something and drank the Tusu wine. The wine was not very strong, but the bitter taste was very strong.
"Mr. Ji, I heard in Chengfeng that immortals have vast magical powers and are able to penetrate the mysteries. They can live forever and see the world at ease. They can soar in the clouds and ride in the mist and also travel in the underworld. Is it true?"
‘It seems that I came to see the gods. ’
Ji Yuan sighed in his heart and no longer had any worries. He looked at Lu Chengfeng's aura and counted it with his fingers, and he roughly understood something.
"Speaking of which, Daxia Lu paid for the purchase of Ju'an Pavilion for Ji back then. Of course Ji can help with some help within his ability."
Just when Lu Chengfeng was about to speak, Ji Yuan raised his hand to stop him, staring at him with a pair of pale eyes.
"I already know that your father-in-law passed away not long ago, and I also know that Lu Daxia is very sad in his heart. However, people cannot be resurrected after death. Not to mention that Ji is not a true immortal, even if he is, his father-in-law cannot be brought back to life. ”
After some calculations, Ji Yuan had vaguely figured out what was going on around Lu Chengfeng.
Lu Chengfeng smiled for the first time today.
"Mr. Ji has misunderstood. Chengfeng is not a greedy person. He neither asks for your magic nor expects his parents to be reborn, but..."
"I just don't know if there really is an underworld in this world, and if my parents are really there. People often say that after their parents die, they will dream about their children, but I, I have never dreamed about it..."
Over the years, Lu Chengfeng has been prosperous and proud, gained a lot, and lost a lot. The unexpected death of his father made the sky in Lu's Cloud Pavilion seem to have suddenly collapsed, and he was faced with one after another, or from Attacks may arise from the outside or from within.
At this time, Lu Chengfeng realized that the glory of the past was just a castle in the air, as fragile as his reputation in the world that was not built with real skills. He lost his father's protection. Although he had some help from his father's old friends in the short term, time As time went by, all kinds of bullying followed.
There are those who seek revenge, and there are also many who are peeping at the benefits brought by Yunge's status in the world, not to mention those knights who intend to challenge the Lu family's skills to increase their reputation in the world.
This is the reality of martial arts and martial arts. Wulin forces are often rarely protected by the government. Without his father's martial arts and abilities, if he wants to protect himself wisely, he has to endure more depression and helplessness. Lu Chengfeng is like this. Lu Chengyun, the eldest brother who is the pillar of Yun Pavilion, is even worse.
The difference is that Lu Chengyun has a tenacious temperament and can withstand the pressure. But Lu Chengfeng is not good at it and is defeated by reality. In addition to practicing martial arts secretly, in the eyes of outsiders, he has become a mature person. The young gentleman who once was a young man in Yunge no longer exists.
When the mother who loved him the most also died of a serious illness, Lu Chengfeng hated himself even more and hated that his martial arts was not good enough. Find Shuyuan www. zhaoshuyuan.com also doesn't have enough talent. He hates his own incompetence, and is somewhat envious and even jealous of his brother.
Lu Chengyun is so "powerful", so powerful that he can tolerate his younger brother's incompetence, and can grit his teeth and swallow blood to hold up the Cloud Pavilion, but he, Lu Chengfeng, can't bear the pressure, can't lose face, and has no martial arts skills. No matter what, there is absolutely nothing that can be done to help. This is also a kind of despair for Lu Chengfeng, who is so ambitious.
The mother's death seemed to shatter even this despair, followed by a complete collapse of confidence.
Lu Chengfeng didn't dare to elaborate on these things with Mr. Ji, but he always felt that Mr. Ji's pale eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, as if he could see everything.
"Mr. Ji, do people really turn into ghosts after death? Do my parents look down on me as a useless person? If you are really a god, can you take me down to the netherworld to meet them?"
This was a ridiculous request. Lu Chengfeng didn't know how many mages he had asked and how many temples he had walked through. He knew it was unlikely, but in front of Mr. Ji, he still asked again with expectations.
Ji Yuan drank the wine from the bowl and did not answer immediately. Instead, he stood up and took two steps, outside the shade of the tree, and looked at the sky.
"Daxia Lu has gained a lot and lost a lot, but this is all in the past. In ordinary times, the dark days are just covered by clouds, but when the clouds eventually clear, the sky can shine on the earth."
Ji Yuan turned around and looked at Lu Chengfeng.
"As for why your father-in-law, your life is probably not over yet, so Ji will take you to meet them."
