Hearing what Ji Yuan said, Lu Shanjun straightened up and asked a slightly serious question.
“I wonder what Master has to say?”
Lu Shanjun has always respected and worshiped his master. To some extent, he could also feel some of Ji Yuan’s state of mind. When he heard that Ji Yuan said that he was looking for something, he instinctively felt that it was not Shu. Reminiscing about old times and chatting about trivial matters.
Ji Yuan didn’t say anything in detail right away. He just said, “Find the old cow first, then talk about it.” Then he walked towards the outside of the mountain first. Lu Shanjun did not dare to neglect. He temporarily suppressed his thoughts and quickly Keep up.
Ji Yuan and Lu Shanjun, one wearing a green shirt and the other wearing a light yellow robe, walked together towards the direction of the mountain. Their pace seemed slow, but in fact they were walking quickly, but the surrounding mountain scenery was in full view. Ji Yuan looked at himself The disciple acted cautiously around him. He didn’t speak, and neither did Lu Shanjun. He seemed a little more respectful than relaxed.
“Actually, you don’t need to be so reserved in front of me. If you have any questions about your practice, just ask.”
Lu Shanjun smiled when he heard this and said to Ji Yuan.
“There is order between elders and younger ones, and etiquette must not be discarded. Although the disciple is dull, he has not had any major problems with the way of practice yet, and is slowly understanding the original guidance of the master.”
These words were not too unexpected from Ji Yuan. In this case, he also changed the subject and chatted with Lu Shanjun about other things.
“After so many years, Ji seems to have not talked to you too many things that have nothing to do with practice. This time, I will just chat with you as my teacher. Well, I know many immortals as my teacher, and I also know them. There are many demons with good senses, and there are also some human affairs, among which the most worth mentioning are that there is a dragon, a Confucian, a Taoist, a god, and a monk…”
Lu Shanjun was slightly excited in his heart, and his usually calm and stern face also revealed his excitement. This was the first time that his master had told him these things. Although he had always respected his master, he had to say it seriously. , except for the image of the Master that can be carved in his heart, everything other than the image of the Master is a mystery to Lu Shanjun, because the Master almost never talks about it.
Ji Yuan spoke to Lu Shanjun in a chatting tone, and after the latter’s initial excitement, he no longer just listened carefully, but also asked questions from time to time and expressed his thoughts.
In Lu Shanjun’s heart, the colors other than the image of Master Ji Yuan began to become richer. It was no longer the background of mountains and rivers, but also more people or things: the Yin family that he already knew; the Longjun lineage of Tongtian River ;The monk of Daliang Temple; the Taoist gate of Yunshan Temple…
There are too many things worth talking about, and it can’t be said in just a few words. Ji Yuan will talk about whatever comes to mind. Some things will be mentioned in one sentence. Interesting things will be chatted with Lu Shanjun a few more words, and human affairs will also be talked about. He also talked about some magical powers and spells, and then talked about Lao Niu. Even though a strict person like Lu Shanjun could not understand Lao Niu, he still recognized him. After all, no matter from Lao Niu Whether he only goes whoring and never seeks a good wife or coerces others, or whether he is the way he usually conducts himself in the world, he has his principles in it.
The two of them didn’t run away and talked as they walked. Unknowingly, they had been chatting all day and all night.
To be honest, Lu Shanjun suddenly had a feeling, a feeling that he had never been truly recognized by his master until this moment. His respect for his master was always there, but his excessive caution gradually faded away. Seem relaxed.
……
Ji Yuan and Lu Shanjun walked all the way, and soon arrived outside one of the few large cities in the Zuyue Kingdom, which was Luo Qing City, which they had visited once before.
It was early in the morning. In the sight of the two of them, the manor that Niu Batian and Yan Fei had bought appeared in the distance. The small manor that once had only four or five houses now had eight large rooms including the kitchen. There are also a lot of fruits and vegetables grown in the small hut.
“I never thought they could live here for so many years.”
Lu Shanjun looked at the smoke rising in the distance and said with emotion. He stayed here for about half a year and then left directly. Firstly, he really couldn’t stand Lao Niu. Secondly, he also felt that it was a waste of time. At the same time, Jiu Shaoxia’s oath was temporarily ended, and he planned to return to Dazhen after a little training. He never saw Lao Niu and Yan Fei again, thinking that they had left long ago. Yes, for more than ten years, for For Lu Shanjun, it’s just a little practice.
Ji Yuan understood the reason without thinking at all.
“A big city like Luoqing City, in a place like the Zuyue Kingdom, will inevitably concentrate the resources on the vast land, and the rouge hooks inside will be extremely prosperous. Now Yan Fei is no longer in a hurry to compete in martial arts to hone himself. That old cow won’t be in a hurry to leave here.”
The closer the two of them got to the small manor, the slower they slowed down. When they arrived in front of the manor, they were just like ordinary people walking. When they arrived in front of the small house, Ji Yuan and Lu Shanjun were both slightly stunned, because actually There was a woman hanging clothes there. The key was that her belly was swollen and she was obviously pregnant.
‘Is it Lao Niu? ’
This was the first reaction of Ji Yuan and Lu Shanjun, masters and disciples, and then they immediately threw away the thoughts in their minds. With Lao Niu’s temperament, it was absolutely impossible to hang him on a tree. Could it be Yan Fei?
The woman over there was drying some clothes on the bamboo rack. When she turned around, she also noticed someone approaching outside. Seeing that the two people had entered the fence outside the manor, she knew they were definitely here. of.
“Excuse me, who are these two gentlemen? Why are you here? Are you looking for Niu Daxia and Yan Daxia?”
Ji Yuan and Lu Shanjun’s expressions softened slightly. It seemed that they were neither Lao Niu nor Yan Fei. Lu Shanjun spoke first.
“My surname is Lu, and this is Mr. Ji. We come to see Niu Daxia and Yan Daxia, who are their old friends.”
The woman quickly bowed slightly to the two of them.
“It turns out that we are old friends of the two heroes. Please come and sit in the courtyard!”
There was also a strange middle-aged man in the house over there at the moment because he heard the noise and came out. He happened to hear Lu Shanjun’s words. Seeing the gentle appearance of the two people, he hurriedly and enthusiastically invited them in with the woman. In the courtyard, they also made tea for the two of them.
“Two gentlemen, Daxia Yan has been out for a few days and has disappeared. Daxia Niu should be in Luoqing City. Please wait here for a while. He will definitely be back before noon.”
“Okay, we’re not in a hurry, we’ll just wait.”
At first glance, Ji Yuan and Lu Shanjun looked like the kind of learned men who spoke very kindly. They didn’t seem to know any martial arts, so it was easy for them to gain their trust and they were less wary of them.
Having tea and chatting with the two couples in the courtyard, Ji Yuan and Lu Shanjun learned that these two couples were rescued by Yan Fei when he went out two months ago. They would have been surrounded by several thieves. Although the men knew martial arts, they were not very strong. Yan Fei passed by and helped them out.
“Yang Qiudao rebelled, and the court sent troops to suppress it. We couldn’t survive, so we fled here. When Master Yan saw that I was pregnant, he let us stay here temporarily. We help clean and take care of me on weekdays. Go to the manor, plant some vegetables and fruits, and do your best.”
“Haha, I just said that Yan Fei and the old cow can cultivate such neat fields.”
Ji Yuanzheng smiled like this, and then felt something in his heart. He looked in the direction outside the manor. Lu Shanjun also followed suit. After a few breaths, he could already feel a vague evil spirit approaching. After a while, Lao Niu’s figure appeared outside the manor.
Obviously Lao Niu has also seen the two people in the manor and has been running all the way over. The sound has already been heard before the people arrived.
“Niu Batian pays homage to Mr. Ji, and Lao Lu, you finally came to see me! Hahahahaha…”
When the laughter came, Lao Niu had already arrived in the courtyard. He stopped and brought a gust of wind. After he handed over his hand, he stepped directly in front of Lu Shanjun.
“Old Lu, please help me in this emergency! Lend me ten taels of gold and I will pay you back twice as much in the future!”
The smile on Lu Shanjun’s face suddenly froze.
“No? No? Then five taels, five taels of gold, right?”
Lao Niu took a few steps closer and wanted to put his hand on Lu Shanjun’s shoulder, but the latter waved him away.
“Hey, hey, this is hurtful. Isn’t our friendship worth a little gold? Mr. Ji, don’t you think so? By the way, sir, do you have gold on your body? Feel free to lend me some gold. Just… uh, sir, please think I didn’t say…”
Lao Niu looked at Ji Yuan and looked at him calmly. His pale eyes were indifferent, and his original words were also muffled. He felt guilty for no reason, but then he thought about it. Mr. Ji already knew this about him. .
“It’s not like I can’t give you money.”
When Ji Yuan said these words, Lu Shanjun and Lao Niu were both stunned. Even the two couples on one side were slightly surprised. The older gentleman didn’t look like he was very rich, but Lao Niu looked at him. Dew looks happy.
“It’s better, Mr. Ji! Then lend me ten taels of gold. At least you have to lend me Lao Niu five taels. There is a pretty girl in Chunxing Tower. I have known her since I was still in the training stage. On weekdays, We were laughing and chatting happily, and she was flirting with me. Tomorrow will be the first time she receives a guest. I have made an agreement with the madam, and for five taels of gold, I have decided to take her!”
Ji Yuan’s brows twitched and he felt helpless to complain.
“Okay, find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuａ.comｍ and give you ten taels of gold.”
As he spoke, Ji Yuan took out a gold ingot of ten taels from his sleeve and placed it on the stone table. Lao Niu grabbed the gold in his hand with lightning speed, pinched it slightly and then used his demon power to explore it. Just know this is real gold.
“Humph!”
Seeing Lao Niu’s reaction, Lu Shanjun snorted from the side. The former quickly apologized and picked up the teapot to pour tea for Ji Yuan and Lu Shanjun.
“Uh-huh, Mr. Ji, don’t blame me. We’re afraid that when the gold is spent, it will turn into stone, right? Lao Lu, don’t you? Besides, Mr. Ji, no matter what his status and character, he definitely won’t care about it. This money is just Just like the teacher’s teachings, Lao Niu will always remember it. As long as the teacher has something to say, Lao Niu will go through fire and water to repay it!”
Ji Yuan smiled, Lu Shanjun laughed, and Niu Batian also laughed. Then Niu Batian smiled and suddenly came to his senses. He swallowed and asked carefully.
“Sir, is something really wrong?”
