"Don't pay attention to Lu Dong. He is a devil. He is black from head to toe. You can't believe a single word he says."
"… "
But he is your evil thought!
Gu Zongchen took a deep breath, silently chanted "Buddha have mercy on me", and suppressed Lu Dong with his backhand, wanting to hear what the opportunity Lu Bei was talking about was.
So what if it’s Lu Nan, so what if it’s Lu Bei, Gu Zongchen will definitely protect Lu Dong!
"Does the monk know the gravekeeper?"
Seeing the fish entering the nest, Lu Bei smiled slightly: "You may not know, but your master, Master Zheng Qing, is a gravekeeper. He obeys the orders of Dongfang Qinglong. In order to protect you, to leave you a quiet place, and to earn the resources you need for cultivation, he has suffered a lot of hardships and grievances over the years."
When Zheng Qing was mentioned, Gu Zongchen frowned immediately. A monk is supposed to have pure mind, but his master was too active, lacking in pure mind and having more worldly airs.
He asked, but Zheng Qing didn't say anything. Now it seems that the identity of the gravekeeper is the key.
Lu Bei talked a lot and said some bad things about Qinglong. Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, it didn't affect his description of how much suffering Zheng Qing had suffered in Qinglong Prefecture.
After these fierce words, Gu Zongchen remained expressionless.
Tsk, you ungrateful bastard. Zheng Qing has been feeding you with nothing for so many years.
Lu Bei curled his lips and got back to the point, "This time the dispute between Xiong Chu and Xuan Long was secretly instigated by the Great Xia Emperor Ji, and the tomb keepers such as Qinglong were also active. Master Zheng Qing should not have come, but for you, he still came out."
"… "
"Do you understand? Xiong Chu plotted against this lord, and Zheng Qing traveled thousands of miles to get a beating. In the final analysis, it was all for you."
Lu Bei sneered repeatedly, and every word was heart-piercing: "The old monk can no longer fight. He can't hold up the sky above your head. If you force it, not everyone will be as easy to talk to as this sect master. Sooner or later, he will be beaten to death outside. As for you..."
"Should I go out on my own now to see the real world of immortal cultivation and help Master Zhengqing let go of his obsession, or should I wait until his corpse is exposed in the wilderness before I realize that the world is not pure?"
Gu Zongchen said nothing, but reluctantly admitted that there was some twisted logic in Lu Bei's words.
Yes, because he progressed so fast in cultivation, there was almost no bottleneck. He was proud and fearless of the worldly affairs, and he never thought of ever being in it.
Waste of time, meaningless.
In this way, the peace of the one-third acre of land was indeed preserved, but it also...
It also makes some people bear more.
Seeing his master's amiable face flash before his eyes, Gu Zongchen felt a little angry and just wanted to ask Lu Bei, who is Qinglong and is he good at fighting
"But you don't have to be angry. Master Zhengqing has suffered a lot and kept a heart of Buddha, even though his hands are covered with blood. But he has earned his current realm and earned you the opportunity to become a Buddha!"
Lu Bei chuckled and said, "Think about it, isn't it true that Master Zhengqing would know what you need and prepare it for you in advance without you having to ask for it every time?"
To comprehend the Buddha's teachings, I need little, just a book and a wall.
Gu Zongchen wanted to say this, but when he thought of his master, he felt inexplicably unsure. He opened his mouth, but was ultimately unable to refute.
"If you want it, go get it yourself. What's the point of relying on a master for your whole life? Are you practicing Buddhism or is he practicing Buddhism? Are you two just trying to save others and yourself?"
Lu Bei was disdainful and threw out the black-patterned mask, along with a token with ink inscriptions: "This is a token of the grave keeper. If you want to know what Zheng Qing has endured over the years, go to hell and see for yourself!"
Gu Zongchen raised his hand and took it without saying a word.
"The mask can hide your true identity, and the token can open a secret realm. If you get a great opportunity from Buddhism, even if Lu Nan comes, he won't be able to snatch Lu Dong from you!"
The decision was finalized, and Gu Zongchen immediately accepted the mask and token.
"From today on, you are our sect master **Douxu Doumuxie. You can just call me Xuanwu from now on." Lu Bei decided on the star name for Gu Zongchen.
Dou Muxie is the first of the seven northern stars and the leader of the seven stars. It is the turtle of Xuanwu... The forehead has great significance.
In Lu Bei's opinion, only Gu Zongchen was qualified to be his number one fighter.
"Fighting Wood Xie... Xuanwu..."
Gu Zongchen talked to himself for a while, then asked again: "Sect Master Lu, can you tell me what a gravekeeper is?"
"… "
"Xuanwu, can you tell Dou Muxie what a gravekeeper is?"
"This is easy. I will tell you secretly. If others ask, even Lu Dong cannot tell anyone. Otherwise, you will be killed and it will be hard for you and Lu Dong to get along."
Lu Bei reminded him, his eyes narrowed into slits, flashing a seductive golden light: "I'm not trying to scare you. We grave keepers work for the way of heaven. There's no point in saying more. You should take care of yourself."
Gu Zongchen was stunned in the spot. When he came to his senses, Lu Bei took out thirty-six relics and said, "Take them. This sect master never intended to embarrass Master Zhengqing. I detained him only to meet with you and Lu Dong."
"… "
"What's wrong? If you don't want it, I will take it back." Lu Bei urged Gu Zongchen to hurry up and stop wasting time.
"Master Lu, there are thirty-six relics in the abbot's room, but there are only twenty-four here." Gu Zongchen looked unhappy.
"What do you know? You are just a Buddhist who has only read a few Buddhist scriptures. How dare you say irresponsible things in front of this sect master?"
Lu Bei said confidently: "The number of days is not complete, how can there be thirty-six great perfections in the heavens? Twenty-four is right, no more. You give it to Zheng Qing. If he has great wisdom, he will understand the cause and effect. It's said that he should thank this sect master for his guidance!"
Gu Zongchen: “…”
The young monk didn't waste any words. He said that the relics were closely related to Zheng Qing. As long as he took back one, Zheng Qing could use this item to take back all thirty-six relics. It would be fine to leave twelve with Lu Bei.
…
The two returned to the venue. Everyone saw Lu Bei smiling and Gu Zongchen remained silent, and they were all suspicious.
On the convoy side, led by King Yuanji, they firmly believed that Gu Zongchen had suffered a great loss and had been tricked by Lu Bei.
Zhu Xiushi and Zhao Wuyou were different. The latter blamed Lu Bei and Gu Zongchen for getting too close. The white-robed monk was elegant and handsome, with red lips and white teeth, and a good-looking face. If they got too close, they would not be able to attract women.
Zhu Xiu Shi was secretly happy. The white-robed monk was elegant and handsome, with red lips and white teeth, and a good-looking face. If he got too close, he would not be able to attract women.
On the convoy side, Master Zheng Qing stood up and took the twenty-four relics. He didn't take it seriously at first. That was how Lu Bei was. Gu Zongchen was far inferior in terms of talking skills, so it was inevitable that he would suffer a loss.
But when he heard what Gu Zongchen said, he suddenly had some thoughts in his mind. After muttering a few words, he suddenly realized and accepted the twenty-four relics with a smile.
"Thank you for your guidance, Sect Master Lu. Your Buddhist teachings are profound. I am far inferior to you!"
"No way, it's not worth mentioning to interrupt."
Lu Bei looked at the master and his disciple with a smile.
Zheng Qing was given the title of Fang Ri Tu Xingxiu, and at an old age he was still hanging around in Qinglong. Gu Zongchen was given the title of Dou Mu Xie, and worked hard for Xuanwu, who had a bright future.
One day, Qinglong and Xuanwu will overturn the table and start fighting, Fang Ritu will fight against Muxie, and the battle between Zhengqing and Gu Zongchen, the master and disciple, will definitely be exciting to watch.
Wonderful!
King Yuanji saw that the matter was resolved satisfactorily and was very sure that Gu Zongchen must have paid a heavy price. He was worried and remembered that there was one more important matter on this trip, so he clasped his hands together and began to talk.
The diplomats from Xiong Chu will arrive soon. I hope that the leader of the Tianjian Sect will visit more often and not let my humble abode become a really humble abode.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Bei immediately had two more seals.
Gu Zongchen was watching as Lu Bei swiftly broke free from the seal. Having seen Qinglong's message, he knew the principle of treating everyone equally, so he gave Xiong Chu a reassurance and did not reject the second diplomat.
But he was very curious about what model of luxury car Xiong Chu customized for him.
Xin Lijun was even more curious, so he helped Lu Bei to express his doubts, asking which princess had taken on the important task.
"The Sixth Princess Gu Zongqi, Sect Master Lu met her once, so I think he should remember her." King Yuanji said with a smile.
"It turned out to be her..."
Lu Bei touched his chin, ignoring the two missed calls, and recalled the luxury car named Gu Zongqi.
Shiny and new, the streamlined body conforms to the principles of aerodynamics, is beautiful and elegant, and pursues practicality while retaining a classic temperament.
All I can say is that as a royal family with a thousand-year history and the same bloodline, this car makes people want to drive it.
Seeing Lu Bei nodding repeatedly, Xin Lijun became unhappy. With a fierce face, he sent a message to ask what had happened to King Yuanji and why the important task that should have belonged to her fell on Gu Zongqi.
King Yuanji had no choice but to explain that Xiong Chu was defeated and fled to Xuanlong, where he was slaughtered at the speed of light and was severely cut by the white-haired man from the Zhao family. He had already suffered a loss before.
In other words, Xuanlong saw that the Gu family had no intention of fighting and only wanted an explanation for their defeat, so he showed mercy when he struck, otherwise he would not be able to redeem the hostages next year.
After the four princes and three princesses returned to Xiongchu, Gu Zongqi volunteered to take on the important task of diplomat.
Xinlijun was not present at the time and did not know how popular diplomats were. In addition to Gu Zongqi, there were several old princesses who were holding back their talents competing for the position. The old emperor, in keeping in mind the principle of keeping wealth within the family, reserved the benefits for his own daughters.
Xinli Jun: …
This is outrageous. In the battle of Xiong Chu, various forces are mobilized, aiming at the position of crown prince. She is worried that the Sixth Emperor's woman has little influence and lacks the support of the mountain gate, so she rushes to the front line to support her without saying a word.
She never expected that the royal family was so ruthless and ungrateful that Gu Zongqi took away her position in a snap.
Can you please have some shame? He's your uncle, and he's still a child!
King Yuanji tried to comfort Xinli Jun with kind words and advised him to be more open-minded. He had also voted for Xinli Jun at that time, but he was not present and could not canvass for votes, which led to his defeat.
"Hahaha-"
King Yuanxuan thought of something happy, slapped Xinli Jun on the shoulder, and grinned at Lu Bei happily.
Where did these pigs and dogs come from? They want to harm his cabbages, but they don’t even take a piss and look in the mirror!
Dream on!
The smile was too arrogant, and Lu Bei immediately became unhappy. He snorted at King Yuan Ji, "This Sect Master has remembered that the Sixth Princess is too utilitarian and is aiming for the position of crown prince. She is not a diplomat who can abide by the rules. It would be more appropriate to replace her with someone else."
The words fell.
Xin Lijun poked her head out with an embarrassed look on her face, and she knew that Lu Bei had her in his heart.
King Yuanxuan's expression suddenly changed, and he stared at Lu Bei fiercely, as if he was going to be killed by Tianjian Sect.
Your Majesty has already issued an edict. How can you change your words overnight
Change it now!
King Yuanji said straightforwardly: "Master Lu has a unique vision, I think he will not be wrong. I dare to ask, do you have a good choice?"
"That's her!"
Lu Bei raised his hand and pointed. Gu Yuanping in the crowd looked confused. He looked around and confirmed that it was really himself. He was so scared that his face turned pale and he took three steps back.
Xinli Jun: …
This is absurd, why are you here too, aunt
"Royal sister, state affairs are more important! State affairs are more important!"
King Yuanxuan was overjoyed, and hurried to Gu Yuanping to congratulate her. He appealed to her emotions and reasoned with her, using words like "the country and the people" and "a marriage sent by heaven" to urge her to accept the marriage as soon as possible.
It's just a dog bite. Close your eyes and bear it and it will pass.
King Yuanji's eyes twitched. Seeing that his sister's face turned pale, he swallowed and thought about how to persuade her to be more positive.
Just look at Xuanlong’s diplomats and you’ll know that Sect Leader Lu is very well-behaved. He doesn’t need to make any diplomacy, he just lives outside.
"Sister, actually Lu..."
"Xin Lijun beside her."
Lu Bei finished his speech with a deep breath and added the rest of the words.
"… "
Prince Yuanxuan was stunned on the spot, and Gu Yuanping, who had come to his senses, patted him on the shoulder and said, "State affairs are more important. My brother, don't you understand this?"
King Yuanxuan was furious and wanted to fight Lu Bei on the spot, but was held down by King Yuanji and attacked from behind by Gu Yuanping, and fainted on the spot.
Xinlijun nodded. That’s how it should be.
