Heavenly Locust Emperor

Chapter 51: Reunion

Shiling City, formerly known as Wanshi City.

One of the great gifts of human beings is the ability to forget the pain and welcome a new life.

It has been seven years since Wanshi City was slaughtered. At this time, the prosperity of Shiling City is not inferior to that of the past, and the population is more than it was in its heyday. It can be seen that Lu Qian, the leader of the New Stone Alliance, does have some skills.

Lu Qian broke the clear distinction between warriors and slave laborers in the past. As long as they have a skill and are needed by the Stone League, they can leave slavery and join the Stone League. "Influence, and under Lu Qian's wings continue to grow.

The rise of the craftsmen has touched the interests of the conservative warriors, but under the forceful suppression of Lu Qianshi's [-]th floor, the conservatives can only temporarily go dormant, and they are waiting for the new situation after the leader Lu Qian's death.

Once the emperor and the courtiers, the Stone League will not have only one voice.

In the Wanfu Building, Cao Cuo only spent a few handfuls of yellow bud rice, and booked the private room of the year, which is antique and far more refined than that of the past.

I ordered the most expensive singer in the building to play the piano next door. The sound of the piano was high and flowing, and the pearls fell on the jade plate. Unknowingly, it also dissipated a bit of the hostility after the murder.

"Lovesickness, lovesickness, meeting in dreams several times. I never had the heart to put down my pen, and the paper was full of blood and tears."

"Lovesickness, lovesickness, every plant and tree are haggard. It is said that Lingshan is a thousand feet high, and it is difficult to find a beautiful woman."

"Lovesickness, lovesickness, how much love is in the end of the world? Seeing wild geese flying south in the sky, my heart is broken when I don't see my old friend."

"Lovesickness, lovesickness, the cold star falls every year. Looking at the star in the north last year, who is the cold star this year?"

"Lovesickness, lovesickness, where is there no blood in Lingshan? Let's listen to the sound of pines and waves in the middle of the night, telling about yesterday's merits and sins."

...

Drinking and listening to music, watching fireworks in the world, so happy.

At this time, the ten-mile long street was lit up with colorful lights.

Thousands of lights in the night market illuminate the green clouds, and the bustling scene is everywhere.

There was a knock on the door.

With a wave of Cao Cuo's hand, the door of the private room opened directly, and a burly man in a black cloak walked in, and said respectfully, "I have seen you, my lord!"

It was Lu Qian who came. At this time, he had already grown a beard, and his figure was also burly due to the influence of stone skills, with one single eye shining brightly.

Live in the air, nourish the transplanted body.

In his position as the leader for many years, he has cultivated a majestic aura of a superior.

"Sit down." Cao Cuo stretched out his hand to signal that the singer playing the piano next door has been invited away, and there are also Lu Qian's subordinates outside the door, who should be members of the Stone Sect, and two of them have green locust Gu in their bodies.

Lu Qian said with a smile: "If the lord likes to listen to music, I also have many high-quality singers in my family, and I will send someone over later."

"Cultivators don't need such sensuality, I just see that you have managed Shiling City well, so it's just a whim."

Cao mistakenly poured a glass of wine for the other party, and Lu Qian was a little flattered. After all, the master is a foundation cultivator, and he has never treated him with such courtesy. It seems that what he did was in line with the other party's wishes.

"The lord is over-reputed. In his position, he seeks to govern, and this Shiling City is where my heart and soul are. I'm just afraid that I can't do it well..."

Lu Qian sighed, and after taking a sip of wine, he smiled again: "If the lord has spare time, why not stay in Shiling City for a few more days, and let Lu Qian do his best as a landlord. This Wanfu Building is also under my name. The property behind this leads directly to a secret courtyard called Golden Garden, which is beautiful in its beauty and is very clean and will not be disturbed by outsiders. If the Lord agrees, why not live there..."

"That's fine, I'm planning to stay in Shiling City for a while." Cao Cuo directly agreed, looked at Lu Qian who was caught off guard, and asked calmly:

"By the way, how many origin stones in the Stone Cult have you collected now?"

Lu Qian said without hesitation: "The main task of the Stone Cult these years is to collect source stones for the master. Currently, there are three secret vaults, and it is estimated that hundreds of jade stones can be extracted from them."

Baifang jade is equivalent to [-] talismans, which is higher than what Cao Cuo expected. Although he didn't fully believe what Lu Qian said, it should have taken a lot of money for him to seize Baifang jade under the eyes of Shoushanfang City. Little effort should be rewarded.

Cao Cuo took out a jade box from the storage bag and handed it to Lu Qiandao: "This is a reward for you, take a look."

Lu Qian took the jade box with both hands, and slowly opened it. Inside was a fiery red fruit, overflowing with medicinal fragrance.

"Millennium...thousand-year vermilion fruit?"

Lu Qian exclaimed. He, who holds the power to kill tens of thousands of people in Shimeng, was blushing and trembling.

He is 37 years old this year, and there are only three years left before the [-]th birthday. He can prolong his life by ten years after getting the Millennium Vermilion Fruit. To him, this is ten thousand times more precious than any other treasure.

"Thank you Lord!"

Lu Qian blushed and was about to kowtow to thank her, but was stopped by Cao Cuo's magic power. After all, the other party is now the master of one city and one alliance, so he should take care of the other party's face.

This millennium vermilion fruit is worth at least [-] talismans, and there is no market for it. After all, it is a life-prolonging thing, and many foundation-building monks cannot buy one when they are dying.

This vermilion fruit is one of the things Lu Qingmei left behind, otherwise Cao Cuo would not have made such a generous move.

Lu Qian has shown his ability. Stone Education can supply Originium for a long time, and he doesn't mind making long-term investment.

"Master... Lord, I misremembered just now. There is also a secret storehouse, which contains at least two hundred Lingyu."

Lu Qian said in a low voice, his face flushed slightly, and he didn't know whether it was ashamed or ashamed.

clever ghost.

Cao Cuo couldn't help laughing. This is probably because Lu Qian secretly saved up to buy life-prolonging elixir for himself, but the elixir he can buy will never be better than Zhu Guo.

I didn't expect this person to be so capable. You must know that [-] square meters of jade is [-] talismans, even a foundation-builder cultivator would be tempted.

This investment can be paid back, and the principal is returned immediately.

Cao didn't pursue his faults. The person under his command cares about most is himself, which is normal. As long as the business is not delayed, other things can be ignored.

"It seems that your experience in Shiling City is far beyond my imagination, and you are able to leave such a large amount of jade."

After all, Lu Qian was someone who had seen the big scene. Seeing that the master didn't intend to pursue it, he soon returned to normal, talking and laughing, and explained casually:

"A few years ago, the south was plagued by insects, and a large number of refugees entered the quarry. The Stone Cult secretly absorbed a lot of manpower from it, and secretly opened several private mines. This is how to save these families."

To the south, isn't that Xiliuyuan?

"what happened?"

Without waiting for Cao Cuo to ask carefully, some commotion suddenly appeared outside the door.

Seeing Cao Cuo frowning, Lu Qian was also angry in his heart, how did his subordinates do things?

"My lord, I'm going out to see what's going on."

Lu Qian was very subjective, and went out to deal with emergencies after speaking, and didn't notice a green locust attached to his clothes.

In Wanfu Building.

A boy of fifteen or sixteen was fighting a burly man.

"Bang bang! bang bang bang..."

The young man is as clever as an ape, and the strong man is as fierce as a tiger. Both of them are practicing martial arts with stone skills, and they are both at the ninth level.

The young man's skill was obviously deeper than that of the strong man, and he gained the upper hand after a dozen or so moves, and his moves were aimed at the strong man's vitals.

"Lu Yunfei! Why are you crazy here? The rules of the alliance do not allow disciples to kill each other. How dare you kill yourself?"

The strong man was a little overwhelmed. He drank more wine just now and wanted to tease a singer, but he didn't expect that the other party would dare to refuse.

He slapped her hard twice, and was about to execute her on the spot, but unexpectedly, this Lu Yunfei came in suddenly.

"If you dare to mess around in Wanfu Building, I will dare to touch you."

Lu Yunfei was murderous, obviously wanting to vent his anger on that singer, the strong man secretly thought it was bad luck, he really didn't expect that a woman who was bullying casually would actually offend this ruthless man.

The other party is the adopted son of the leader Lu Qian, who claims to be a once-in-a-century genius in practicing stone kung fu. He has practiced stone kung fu to the ninth level in just five years, and he is definitely not something he can afford.

Seeing that the rules of the alliance couldn't scare the opponent, the strong man just wanted to beg for mercy, but Lu Yunfeifei didn't give him this chance, he slapped him on the chest, suppressing his begging for mercy, and the other palm directly surpassed the sky, It will take the life of a strong man.

"stop!"

Lu Qianru was as angry as a lion, and in an instant he was between the two of them, and grabbed Lu Yunfei's hand to stop him from killing.

"Didn't you hear what I said? Stop!"

"Thank you for your life-saving lord!"

The strong man escaped from death, overjoyed, and immediately complained: "Leader, this kid Lu Yunfei is really arrogant and domineering. He actually killed the disciples of the alliance. He didn't take you seriously. You must..."

"boom!"

"what..."

Before the strong man finished speaking, he was kicked by Lu Qian and flew out, and he fainted to the ground.

"Noisy!"

Lu Qianbing said coldly: "You bastard, who told you to talk? Take it down and lock it up."

The subordinates at the side had to make an immediate move to carry the fainted strong man away.

Lu Qian secretly resented that he dared to make trouble in Wanfulou today, and still flirted with the piano player Yun Niang in the private room, let's see if I won't punish you to death in the future!

Lu Yunfei faltered and said with a red face:

"Father, he was the one who molested Yunniang first..."

Forgive him for his fearless personality, but he is also afraid of the increasingly prestigious adoptive father in front of him. He is not only afraid, but also respectful.

"Shut up! I told you earlier, use your brain before doing something, he made a mistake first, you could have punished him with the rules of the alliance, and you can make him peel off his skin even if you don't die, but you choose to do it yourself, it is simply stupid ."

"Have you ever thought that if this person is arranged by the conservative faction in the alliance, if you ignore the rules of the alliance today, you are giving someone a handle. How will you win people's hearts and gain a foothold in the stone alliance in the future?"

Lu Qian looked at the young man in front of him, and hated that iron could not be made into steel. He fell in love with Lu Yunfei's talent, picked him up from the refugees, passed on literature and martial arts, and treated him as his own son. Meng entrusted him to him, but he didn't expect that the other party would lose his sense of normalcy because of a woman.

How can such a mind take on such a big responsibility?

Lu Yunfei obediently listened to the training, not daring to refute.

Cao Cuo drank alone in the private room. As a monk in the Foundation Establishment Realm, he was able to look at the various forms of the world with detached eyes. This is also a practice.

Except for the source stone, he has no interest in the internal affairs of the Stone League. There is a gap between immortals and mortals. Shoushanfang City probably has the same mentality towards the Stone League and even the mortals in Caishiyuan. Immortal cultivators have transcended the world...

But this Lu Yunfei is a bit interesting, he also has a green locust Gu in his body, Cao Cuo just checked it out, and it turned out to be a middle-grade Taoist bone with the aptitude of cultivating immortals.

"My lord!" Lu Qian returned to the private room after disciplining his adopted son, and briefly explained what happened just now.

Both Lu Yunfei and Yun Niang were refugees from the south, they had no name and no surname, and they depended on each other all the way to beg for their lives in Caishiyuan. Lu Qian discovered that Lu Yunfei had excellent stone skills by accident, so he adopted him as his adopted son, changed his surname to Lu, and named him Yun Fei, by the way, also brought Yunniang into Wanfu Building to teach piano skills, and has a skill to make a living.

The strong man just now met Lu Yunfei's Ni Lin and was almost beaten to death.

Cao Cuo waited for Lu Qian to finish speaking before saying:

"Do you know that Lu Yunfei has a middle-grade Taoist bone?"

"Yunfei... actually possesses a Dao bone, and is still a middle-grade..."

Lu Qian was stunned on the spot, his face was cloudy and sunny, he didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow.

Of course Cao Cuo also saw that Lu Qian had high hopes for his adoptive son, but this kind of "high hopes" was far inferior to the Stone League and Stone Sect, which he regarded as his life-long painstaking efforts, and told him about Lu Yunfei's middle-class character. It is equivalent to handing over the decision-making power to him.

Whether to let Lu Yunfei take over in Shimeng, or let him embark on the road of cultivating immortality.

Lu Qian pondered for a long time, and finally made a decision:

"I also ask the lord to accept Yunfei as a disciple and teach him the method of cultivating immortals."

Cao Cuo refused: "There is no need to be a teacher. I can teach him for a few days. As for the future, it depends on his own fate."

The mysterious and unpredictable Lu Qingmei left a shadow on him, and it is estimated that he will not have the idea of ??accepting apprentices...

As for teaching Lu Yunfei, it is also to add some background to the stone religion and stabilize this long-term jade supply channel...
