Ji Yuan is Lu Shanjun's master after all, so he can more or less guess what his disciple is thinking. In addition, he can sense some things, so there is no need for him to follow him from a distance. Instead, he can go to the right place and wait.
Having reached Ji Yuan's current level, this kind of thing that is not insignificant to him can sometimes be calculated with just a thought, as if a place name has come to mind, and he will know what might happen there.
Yuchang County, the Yunge Lu family is here.
Yun Pavilion suffered a great change in the past few years, and its status in the martial arts world plummeted, but the Lu brothers' reputation in Yuchang County is even more famous than before. As long as you are from Yuchang County, everyone knows Lu Chengfeng and Lu Chengyun.
The two of them used their own strength to stabilize the foundation of the Yun Pavilion. In recent years, the people in the Yun Pavilion have settled down again and have become down-to-earth whether they are practicing martial arts or making a living.
However, compared to Lu Chengyun, Lu Chengfeng's reputation has never been spread. People in the martial arts world believe that Lu Chengfeng has long been corrupted, abandoned his martial arts, and no longer has any fighting spirit.
Today, outside a warehouse in Yunge, there were two horse-drawn carriages parked. Four or five people kept going in and out of the warehouse, carrying some silk, cloth, fine wine and other items onto the carriages. A large piece of fine jade was also moved onto the carriage.
"Okay, that's it!"
After Lu Chengfeng personally counted the items, the others stopped and locked the warehouse door again.
After everything was ready, Lu Chengfeng waved his hand, and his fellow disciples got on the carriage, driving it slowly out.
When they arrived at the outer mansion, Lu Chengyun, who had been waiting there, saw the carriage coming out and quickly stepped forward to hand Lu Chengfeng a bundle.
"Send someone to make new clothes for you. Be sure to change into them when you get there. Don't wear your tattered clothes. Remember where you are going."
Seeing his elder brother's earnest look, Lu Chengfeng grinned.
"Clothes are just external possessions. We are all people of the martial arts world. What we compete with is our martial arts skills, not our clothes. If you only care about clothes and not people, then there is no need to practice martial arts. You can just open a tailor shop."
"You bastard, from your tone you sound like you're here to seek revenge. You used to be a gentleman in Yun Pavilion who paid the most attention to your appearance. How come you've become like this now? Pay attention! The clothes you wore when you visited the Zhou family. As for the conference, you must make a splash for Yun Pavilion!"
Lu Chengyun pretended to be angry, and only then did Lu Chengfeng reluctantly nod and take the bundle.
"Brother, just wait at home. I will take care of these small matters."
Lu Chengyun sneered when he heard this.
"Haha, if you have the guts to give birth to a baby yourself? Get out of here!"
Lu Chengfeng's face darkened. He didn't argue with his brother. He waved the whip and drove away slowly.
Yuchang County itself was not too busy, and since it was only daybreak not long ago, there were few people wandering around in the city, and the carriages went straight to the outside of the city without any obstruction.
Sitting in the bumpy carriage, Lu Chengfeng drove the car while half-opening his eyes to regulate his breathing and internal strength, circulating his true Qi in his body, and practicing martial arts without stopping for a moment.
The red fruit that Mr. Ji gave him was indeed not an ordinary thing. In recent years, his elder brother Lu Chengyun was busy with various Yun Pavilion matters all day long and had basically no time to practice martial arts. However, his martial arts not only did not fall behind, but improved from time to time. Even Lu Chengyun himself was quite surprised, but he vaguely understood that it was related to the magical fruit that his younger brother gave him that year.
Lu Chengfeng's martial arts also continued to improve, but it was through his own efforts and his enterprising spirit. The calluses on his hands were the best proof of this. His martial arts attainments were even more solid than Lu Chengyun's.
There is a forest behind Yun Pavilion, in which dozens of big trees were beaten to pieces, and many tree stumps were uprooted from the ground. These were all traces of Lu Chengfeng's hard work in martial arts.
Everyone in the martial arts world knows that Yun Ge has long been in decline, but they don't know that the Lu brothers have been working hard over the years to run Yun Ge in an orderly manner away from the spotlight, and their martial arts have been constantly improving. Yun Ge also eliminated many unstable factors at the beginning, and those who remained were loyal people who made progress together with Yun Ge.
At this time, the carriage was moving slowly. Lu Chengfeng was practicing martial arts while driving and looked drowsy, but the Yun Pavilion disciples next to him had no intention of helping him, because they knew very well that Lu Chengfeng would not drive the carriage off track.
"Do you think the Zhou family is willing to marry that young lady to our Second Master this time?"
"Hey, that's the Zhou family's blessing, why wouldn't they be unhappy?"
"It's hard to say. The last time the Pavilion Master went there in person, although Zhou treated him with courtesy, he didn't make a decision right away."
"You can't say that. It's been a long time since I last saw you... Besides, you're already forty years old, while Miss Zhou is only in her twenties..."
"Well, it's just a side job anyway. When the time comes, the Second Master will make a splash at some conference. How can people not understand the Second Master's goodness?"
In the next carriage, three Yun Pavilion disciples were chatting, not afraid that Lu Chengfeng would hear them. After all, everyone knew the temper of their Second Master, so it would be okay if he heard them.
Zhou was far away in Du Ming Mansion, which was not too close, at least several hundred miles away. She also often helped look after Yun Ge's jade industry in Du Ming Mansion, so she was considered an old friend of the Lu family.
Lu Chengfeng is obsessed with martial arts and helping his brother to protect Yun Pavilion, and never considers romance. However, the eldest brother is like a father. Seeing Lu Chengfeng getting older, Lu Chengyun, whose son is already tall, becomes more and more anxious and always wants Lu Chengfeng to get married.
Today, Lu Chengfeng’s business is to attend the Jianghu Conference in Du Mingfu, but going to Zhou’s house for a blind date is also important.
The two carriages traveled one after the other through counties and villages for several days, getting closer and closer to Du Mingfu.
On this day, the sky was overcast and the sun was not visible. In the carriage on the country road, Lu Chengfeng suddenly opened his eyes and saw a man in green sitting on a stone by the roadside in front of him.
Although Lu Chengfeng looked like he was dozing off, he was actually very sensitive to the movements around him. A few breaths ago, he looked at the place in the distance and there was clearly no one there. But after a moment of trance, a person sitting there and resting appeared. It was really too weird.
The two carriages were moving slowly. Lu Chengfeng seemed to be still the same as before, but in fact he was highly focused and kept staring at the man on the side of the road.
As the distance got closer, he could even see the black cloud patterns on the sleeves of the other person's blue shirt, and the white hairpin with a slight curve on his head.
Finally, the carriage passed by a person on the roadside. Lu Chengfeng seemed not to move, but his eyes were fixed on the person, while the other person was sitting on a stone, looking at Lu Chengfeng in the carriage.
Just this kind of gaze actually made Lu Chengfeng feel a faint sense of crisis. This sense of crisis came so inexplicably, as if he was walking on the edge of a cliff. But when he looked at the man more carefully, he no longer had this feeling, as if everything just now was an illusion.
Lu Chengfeng opened his eyes and frowned. Was it really an illusion just now
As I was thinking, I suddenly heard a movement in my ears and a sound of breaking through the air.
Whoosh…..
Lu Chengfeng stretched out his hand and directly grabbed a dart that was thrown at him. At the same time, he pushed away the person next to him and used the force of the flip to avoid it to the other side.
“Knock knock…”
In addition to the dart in Lu Chengfeng's hand, two other darts hit the benches of him and others just now.
They are called darts, but they are just three ordinary iron sticks.
"who?"
After a loud shout, Lu Chengfeng narrowed his eyes, stepped forward, rushed towards the woods nearby, and slapped a tree hard with his palm power.
"Drink~~"
"boom… "
The back of the tree was hit directly and a shower of wood chips flew out. Another person was hit by the tree and flew backwards. The whole tree was shaking and leaves were falling one after another.
Lu Chengfeng kept chasing after the man without stopping, but when he entered the woods, he did not see the man who had just flown in. It was as if he had disappeared out of thin air.
"Lu Chengfeng, accept your fate!"
A sinister sound was heard above his head, and a man swung a knife from mid-air. By the time Lu Chengfeng reacted, the blade was already in front of him, and there was not even a sound.
"Dang..." "Bang..."
The first palm strike landed on the side of the knife, and the feedback felt extremely cold. The second palm strike almost simultaneously hit the chest of the intruder, colliding with the other hand.
The opponent was as light as a swallow. After receiving the palm strike, he actually floated up more than ten feet and swung far away. After landing on the ground, he lightly dotted his body, and his figure blurred and flashed in front of Lu Chengfeng again, attacking with his sword and fists one after another.
“Bang bang bang…” “Pa pa bang, da da… dang dang dang…”
The two men fought continuously, exchanging more than twenty moves in a short period of time, at a speed that seemed almost blurry to outsiders.
After more than twenty moves, and another palm fight, the man moved back a dozen steps and stood there looking at Lu Chengfeng. The latter was finally able to observe the other person carefully.
This man had an ordinary face and an ordinary build, but his eyes were filled with a sinister look.
Lu Chengfeng looked down at his palms, which were already covered with a layer of white frost. He used his internal energy to circulate it several times before it was eliminated.
"What kind of weird martial arts do you use, and what grudge do you have against me?"
The man looked up at the sky and grinned at Lu Chengfeng.
"Boy, you are good at martial arts."
“Same here!”
Lu Chengfeng narrowed his eyes and replied in a low voice. He glanced at the carriage and saw nothing unusual there. It seemed that there was indeed only one attacker.
Just by glancing over there, the man in front of him became blurry, and then he retreated behind a tree and disappeared. Lu Chengfeng chased after him but found nothing. He searched for a long time in the forest but could not find any trace of him.
Helplessly, he finally gave up and got back in the car and set off again, but his attention to this Jianghu Conference increased again.
At the other end of Lu, where Lu Shanjun was sitting, a faint smoke was rising. The man just now appeared here and bowed to Lu Shanjun.
"Shan Jun, Lu Chengfeng is quite skilled in martial arts, and is definitely not as useless as the rumors say."
"Well, that's good."
Lu Shanjun responded and looked at the man.
"Do you know why I released all the other accomplices but not you?"
"The mountain lord has his own thoughts."
The man would never dare to get angry with the person in front of him.
"Haha, you don't have to feel resentful. If you died somewhere else, you would have been sent to hell. Just now, you wanted to kill Lu Chengfeng several times. If it weren't for his great martial arts and strong Yang Gang, you would have done it."
Lu Shanjun narrowed his eyes.
"I'm testing him as well as you. He's good, but you're not. Just stay still."
After saying that, Lu Shanjun opened his mouth and sucked the ghost into his mouth.
