Chapter 16: Access to the library
After the ancestor worship festival, the vendors on Liuli Street never saw Yan Laoba again.
There are different opinions about his whereabouts. Some people say that he was drunk in the middle of the night and drowned in the moat. Others said that he was beaten to death with sticks by people leaning on Jinlou and fed the dog because he owed money for alcohol.
Only the young man who was present at the time knew that Yan Laoba was not an old beggar at all, but an old god.
These are all things to come, let's talk about Lu Pingan.
Lu Pingan was not sure whether the killers sent by the Chen family and Lu Tianwang had given up on the mission. To be on the safe side, he stayed on Liuli Street until dawn, and temporarily cancelled his plan to enter Daxu Mountain to practice.
Moreover, he felt that he had to reveal some news to the family owner.
In the northwest corner of the back garden of Lufu, inside the Lu Family Library.
"Grandpa Patriarch, I can guarantee with my life. One of the people who assassinated me yesterday used the Jiulong Golden Crow of the Chen family. There are also a group of people. I suspect..."
Lu Pingan paused when he said that, then took out a Tuomu crossbow arrow from his sleeve and presented it to Lu Songyin, which he picked up when he ran away last night.
"Oh?" Lu Songyin frowned slightly, "You mean, someone in the house wants to harm you?"
"I just speculate based on clues." Lu Ping'an replied politely.
He knew that although Lu Songyin ignored the affairs of the clan, it did not mean that he would condone the behavior of the Slaughter Clan people, not to mention that he was still a genius with a high-grade bloodline of the profound rank.
"Ping An, I heard that you signed up for the competition in your own name?"
After pondering for a while, Lu Songyin did not continue this topic, but instead asked about other things.
"Well, yes, I don't want to miss the opportunity to go to Jixia Academy." Lu Ping'an was anxious in his heart, but he followed the conversation.
"Well, since you are determined, then I won't stop it."
As Lu Songyin said, squeezing his finger, the crossbow arrow that was used by Lu Pingan as evidence instantly turned to ashes, "Ping An, in the name of the Patriarch, I allow you to enter and leave the library at will, but the books in the pavilion cannot be taken out.
"but……"
"Peace, stop talking." Lu Songyin interrupted in a deep voice, "I believe you, and I know that someone in the clan will be jealous of your talents, but a crossbow arrow is not enough as evidence. You want me to take everything Do the tribesmen who come into contact with Tuomu Liannu interrogate them one by one?"
Lu Songyin is breaking through the threefolds of the Yuanwu Realm, and has no time to distract from the family affairs. In principle, he can be stable.
And before the Wanqiu Grand Competition, the whole Lu family must remain united, and there must be no internal disturbances.
Hearing this, Lu Pingan was dumbfounded.
Indeed, although he could 100% confirm that the person who sent the killer was Lu Tianwang, he had no substantive evidence.
"Thank you for your care, my grandson retired."
Lu Ping'an thanked him, and left the library without nostalgia, without the idea of going upstairs to read the classics.
In fact, when he learned that Lu Songyin was going to meet him at Zangshu Pavilion, Lu Pingan had guessed that the former would give him the right to enter and leave the Zangshu Pavilion.
But for Lu Pingan, this right has no appeal.
"The Origin of Qi Types" that his father left for him is a hundred times stronger than Lu's best practice method "Dragon Birds Lightning Nerves" with only two lines. After practicing the low-level exercises in the library, there is no more Makes sense.
"Hey, Brother Pingan, come here for a while."
Suddenly, a crisp and sweet low voice came into the ear.
Lu Pingan looked up and saw that his cousin was hiding among the flowers not far away, beckoning to himself.
"Linglong, why did you run here? Beware of caterpillars." Lu Ping'an stepped forward and reminded with a light smile.
"Oh! Stop talking, come with me."
Lu Linglong looked very anxious, and couldn't help but pull up Lu Ping's sleeves and ran towards the depths of the back garden.
"Huh...huh...Ping'an brother, big things are not good."
After the two came to a remote rockery, Lu Linglong panted, and said to Lu Ping'an with a trembling voice, "I went to find grandpa about you last night, but I ran into uncle halfway..."
With Lu Linglong's narration, Lu Ping'an's expression became more solemn, and cold sweat was also on his forehead.
It turned out that when Lu Tianwang arranged to assassinate his men, the conversation between him and his cronies was overheard by Lu Linglong who happened to pass by.
"Oh, silly boy, you haven't been discovered by him, have you?"
Lu Pingan did not rush to ask Lu Tianwang and the details of the conversation with his subordinates, but immediately concerned about Lu Linglong's safety.
"No, the uncle was near the main residence at the time. Handymen are usually not allowed to approach there. He didn't expect me to be there."
Lu Linglong shook her head and replied, and the two little braids on top of her head also swayed playfully.
But having said that, when the little girl said this, her shoulders were already trembling slightly.
Lu Tianwang unexpectedly killed his nephew, Lu Ping'an, which had a huge impact on her young mind.
"Brother Ping An, one more thing..." Lu Linglong bit her lip, as if she had to muster a lot of courage to say the following.
"Uncle asked that person to send a letter to Brother Qianqiu, saying that he would take care of everything at home, so that Brother Qianqiu could study in Jixia South Campus with peace of mind."
After telling the secret of the night that he had hidden in his heart, Lu Linglong couldn't restrain his emotions anymore, and tears came out of her eyes, drop by drop along her cheek.
She couldn't accept this fact, but the cold and cruel truth was before her eyes.
"Brother Ping, you said, why do you say this? In the past, we used to be fine..."
"Okay, Linglong, don't cry." Lu Pingan stepped forward and comforted the top of Lu Linglong's head. "Don't worry, no matter what happens, my brother will always take care of you and love you."
Although Lu Ping's tone was soft at this time, the fingernails of his other hand were deeply embedded in the flesh of his palm.
In fact, he had already guessed about Lu Qianqiu. However, it was only his own inference before, but now it has been confirmed, and there is still no reason to feel uncomfortable in his heart.
Lu Linglong cried in Lu Ping'an's arms for a long time. After the latter used all his best to persuade her, her emotions stabilized.
"Linglong, remember, you must not mention this to a third person except me, not even the grandfather of the patron."
Lu Linglong raised her head in surprise. At a young age, she didn't understand why she couldn't tell her grandfather, but the natural trust in Lu Ping'an made her nod after hesitating for a while.
After sending Lu Linglong back to her residence, Lu Pingan hesitated and decided to return to the Cangshu Pavilion. Although the various exercises and secrets included in the Cangshu Pavilion were of little use to him, it was indeed a safe place and no one disturbed him. A good place to practice.
Today, the two batches of killers sent by the Chen family and Lu Tianwang are likely to be waiting outside the Lu Mansion.
Before entering the Daxu Mountain for the second time to experience, it is necessary for him to practice the newly discovered secret technique in "The Origin of Qi Body" and be fully prepared.
Lu Pingan climbed to the seventh floor of the library alone, sitting cross-legged on the futon in the middle of the room.
As Lu Ping'an injected aura into the jade seal, the content of that "The Origin of Qi Body" slowly appeared on the floor in front.
"Xuanzong Heaven and Earth, Wanqi roots. Extensively repair thousands of calamities, prove my supernatural powers..."
Lu Ping'an muttered the formula silently in his heart, and at the same time the middle and ring fingers of both hands intersect, the other six fingers are straightened together, index finger and small finger point up, thumb down.
When a cultivator reaches the sixth level of martial art, he can precisely control the direction of aura in his body, which is also the basis for practicing various non-condensing Qi exercises.
As the spiritual energy flows through the seals of Lu Ping’s hands through several specific meridians in the order described in the exercises, he can be seen that his whole body is instantly enveloped by a cloud of golden light, and the originally dim library is as if exposed to the scorching sun. under.
The seal of Lu Ping'an was called Jinguangyin, and the secret technique he practiced was called Jinguang Dafa Divine Curse, which was extremely mysterious.
Although what Lu Pingan currently understands is only the first part of the Golden Light Dafa Divine Curse, its mysteriousness is breathtaking and even subverts Lu Pingan's understanding of traditional cultivation methods.
"In and out of the Three Realms, the Tao is the only one. The golden light of the body reflects my body."
Lu Ping'an continued to mutter the formula softly. As soon as his voice fell, he saw the golden light enveloped all over his body, and began to appear rippled ups and downs, like a strand of light yarn wrapped around his body.
In fact, this golden light was formed by the trace of aura in Lu Ping's body, which affected the surrounding space.
In the cultivation system of Tianyuan Continent, the biggest difference between Martial Dao Realm and True Martial Realm is the amount of spiritual energy in the practitioner's body.
Under normal circumstances, when a cultivator steps into the first stage of the true martial stage, the aura reserves in his body will increase to three times that of the peak of the nine stage of the martial arts stage.
This shows how difficult it is to kill the enemy by higher ranks.
But if Lu Pingan has practiced the first part of the Golden Light Dafa curse, then he can use the actual cultivation level of the martial arts realm to perform an attack comparable to the scale of the real martial arts practitioner!
Even to a certain extent, the Golden Light Dafa Divine Curse is specially used to fight higher levels.
"I don't see it, I don't hear it...cough cough cough!"
Lu Pingan is preparing to urge Jinguang to make the third change and complete the last step of "covering the world", so as to completely fix it on the body surface for his own use.
However, at this moment, a sharp pain suddenly spread from his two thumbs to his whole body.
If you are in trouble, you can stay in bed for several days. Lu Pingan didn't dare to interrupt Jieyin, resisting the severe pain, and slowly cutting off the connection between the inner aura and the outer aura. In the end, there was no danger.
"It seems that only by reaching the seventh level of the martial art realm can you practice this golden light Dafa curse." Lu Pingan concluded to himself.
When he had just performed the last step of "covering the world and nurturing the masses", the spiritual air flowing through the golden seal appeared to be cut off.
And there is only one reason for the dry flow, that is, the aura stored in his Qi Sea is not enough to maintain the golden light.
To solve this problem, there is only one way to improve the realm.
"Hey, I had known the main spirit stone for the house." Lu Ping'an beat his legs in annoyance.
Unlike the process of restoring the cultivation base, Lu Ping'an hadn't reached the seventh level of the martial art realm before that, so the advancement this time would be relatively difficult.
In addition, the main problem right now is that his aura in Qi Hai is not enough.
Lu Pingan is now impoverished, and because he shines in the bloodline test, he is regarded by the young people of the clan as the biggest competitor.
At this moment, it is estimated that no one would be willing to lend him spiritual stones.
Of course, Lu Pingan believed that his cousin would definitely not be stingy with herself.
But before it was the spirit stone provided by the cousin, now it seems a bit too difficult to speak to her. After all, even if it is the granddaughter of the Patriarch, the spirit stones on her body are limited.
Lu Pingan found himself in a dilemma.
