Immortality begins by swallowing the stars

Chapter 149 Jianhe Taoist Academy

Yuanzhou City.

In a luxurious mansion covering an extremely large area by Lingshui Lake.

The three feudal lords, gods and demons leisurely enjoyed the lakeside scenery, and from time to time, large golden or red fish jumped out of the lake.

Even though the servants of the Lu family in the distance could not hear the words of the three masters of Yuanzhou City, they still kept their eyes on their noses and their noses on their hearts. They did not even dare to glance in the direction of the three feudal lords, gods and demons.

"Senior Brother Lu, the thorn fish you raised not only tastes delicious, but also has great ornamental value." Wei Tong, the 'Xuanlin Marquis' who looked like a middle-aged woman, looked at the big fish swimming in the lake happily and said with a smile. .

'Lingshui Marquis' Lu Huan laughed and scolded: "You two just come to my place to eat and drink. If you don't wait two years, you will eat up all the fish in my lake."

Chu Ningye, another young-looking ‘Boyue Marquis’, sighed: “Nowadays, there are more and more demon kings. Maybe we won’t be able to eat such delicious food anymore. Naturally, we have to enjoy it as much as possible as soon as possible.”

As soon as these words came out, both Lu Huan and Wei Tong looked a little gloomy.

'Xuanlin Marquis' Wei Tong looked a little dissatisfied: "In the past few years since the small and medium-sized city gates were abandoned, even though there are still teams of gods and demons in each small and medium-sized world passage to monitor, block, and hunt down the demon kings who sneaked in, they have been unable to contain the overcoming demon kings. More and more demon kings are coming in.

"Although no one will come in more than the third-level demon king, when the number of third-level demon kings increases, the fourth-level demon king will naturally be born! It is estimated that in a few years, the fourth-level demon king lurking in our human world will There can be hundreds of them!

"In the early Yuan Dynasty, we only had seventy-three feudal lords, gods and demons!"

Since the invasion of demons eight hundred years ago, most gods and demons have ended up dying in battle.

But in the past, it was extremely rare for feudal princes to die in battle with gods and demons.

Large and medium-sized world passages are guarded by city gates, with gods and demons sitting there, supplemented by formations. There are not many demon kings who can invade the human world, so it is naturally more difficult to threaten the feudal gods and demons.

The grey-haired 'Lingshui Marquis' Lu Huan sighed: "There is nothing we can do about it. There are too few marquises, gods and demons, and we have to guard the state city and the medium-sized city gate. We can't take care of it at all. The medium-sized city gate can only allow a few people." The more powerful gods and demons of the Great Sun Realm jointly guarded the place, supplemented by the help of a group of gods and demons.

"But the number of demon kings of the demon race far exceeds the number of gods and demons of our human race. They focus exclusively on the medium-sized world passage to break through and attack. The medium-sized city gate has turned into a meat grinder. If too many gods and demons of the Great Sun Realm are killed in battle, it will also affect the Marquis God. No one of the three major sects can afford the birth of the devil.

"Now that we no longer have the burden of medium-sized city gates, we have two or three feudal lord gods and demons guarding Yizhou City. The gods and demons of the Great Sun Realm form an elite team to hunt down the low-level demon king. It will be safer in a short period of time."

Chu Ningye shook his head gently: "This is also a way to quench thirst by drinking poison. Once the number of fourth-level demon kings lurking in the human world reaches a certain level, even more than the number of gods and demons in our human race, they will gather to invade the city. .

"Except for the seven major city gates and individual state cities that are guarded by kings or even venerables, other states and cities will be difficult to resist.

"In this way, we can only continue to shrink our power, abandon county towns and even prefectural cities, and only retain state cities and one or two big cities in a state. This is equivalent to the demon clan having occupied most of the world of our human race."

Lu Huan sighed and was about to speak when he suddenly stared at the sky.

A black hawk fell from the sky.

"Messenger of the Demon King?"

The three of them were all shocked. Although the human race can enslave the demon king, there are very few powerful gods and demons who are good at illusions and treasures with similar abilities in the Yuanchu Mountain. The number of slaves of the demon king that can be controlled is limited, so most of the Yuanchu Mountain mainly controls birds. The Demon King can quickly deliver messages to all directions.

"Lingshui Marquis, Boyue Marquis, Xuanlin Marquis, this is the order from Yuanchu Mountain to the three of them. Please leave as soon as possible."

Lingshui Marquis Lu Huan looked at the letter in his hand. The letter had the imprint of the 'Five Masters of Qin' on it, and he couldn't help but asked in shock: "Are the three of us leaving Yuanzhou City?"

It is not unusual to mobilize the lords, gods and demons who guard Yuanzhou City from various places. For example, Yuqionghou was originally guarding Yuanzhou City. After the great migration, Yuqionghou was transferred, and the three lords, gods and demons were transferred to guard Yuanzhou City together. , it has been six years now.

However, after the Great Migration, each state city was basically guarded by two or three feudal lords, gods and demons. The demon kings rarely came to attack state cities. Instead, they attacked prefectures and county towns, slaughtering Wubao villages, and the guarding gods and demons rarely came back. There is a big transfer.

And even if they are transferred, usually one person is transferred, and it is rare that all three people are transferred.

After the Bird Demon King left, Boyue Hou Chu Ningye said thoughtfully: "It seems that there are powerful gods and demons coming to garrison. A few days ago, all the three feudal lords gods and demons in Jiangzhou were transferred away, and they were transferred to Dongdong. Ninghou and Ningyuehou."

Marquis Xuanlin frowned slightly: "But we didn't get any news. Not only did the canonization ceremony of Marquis Dongning and Marquis Ningyue mobilized people, but the sect also built a luxurious mansion in Jiangzhou in advance for Junior Brother Meng and Junior Sister Liu to live in... Let us He left in a hurry, but there was no movement to build the mansion.”

Lingshui Marquis Lu Huan was from a wealthy family in Yuanzhou City, and there were tens of thousands of Lu family members living in the Lu Mansion.

The residences of Boyue Marquis and Xuanlin Marquis also housed members of the Chu family and Wei family's branches in Yuanzhou City.

If we don’t build a mansion, where will the new guarding gods and demons live?

"Your ancestor didn't tell you beforehand?" Lingshui Hou asked in surprise.

Marquis Boyue was born in the Chu family, and the ancestors of the Chu family were kings and gods. Now it was not the period of the Great Migration, so the gods and demons stationed in various states and cities were not kept secret.

"The ancestors didn't send me any message. It seems that the identities of the new resident gods and demons are kept secret..." Boyue Hou Chu Ningye turned around in his mind and couldn't think of the possible identities of the new resident gods and demons. who is it.

At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, there were only about seventy lords, gods and demons in the mountain, and each one had a name. If you wanted to guard the city, two or three lords, gods and demons usually had to join forces to guard it, or someone like Ning Yuehou could explode the power of the king. Guarded by powerful feudal lords.

The sect's transfer order could not be delayed, so the three feudal lords, gods and demons hurriedly notified their respective clansmen and left Yuanzhou City.

……

Lu Jing walked on the bustling streets, looking up at the three feudal lords and gods who flew away from Yuanzhou City silently under the cover of the Dark Star Realm.

Behind him was a charming woman and a strong man, walking leisurely on the bustling roads of the city, but the people on the streets seemed to be unable to see the three of them at all.

The realm of Infernal Affairs is so strange and unpredictable that even if Lu Jing thinks about it, even the feudal lords, gods and demons will not be able to see his existence.

After a while, the three of them arrived in front of a mansion. The plaque on the mansion clearly stated that it was the Lu Mansion.

Of course it was not the mansion built for Lu Jing in Yuanchu Mountain. Lu Jing came down the mountain secretly and did not even break into Jiuxuan Cave. Naturally, he would not build Lu Jing a luxurious mansion like Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue.

This Lu Mansion is the residence of Lu Jing's brother, Lu Qian, in Yuanzhou City.

With Lu Jingzhuan's credit, Lu Qian passed the test of life and death seven years ago and achieved the body of gods and demons in the blood pool of gods and demons. However, because he was not a disciple of the inner sect of the Yuanchu Mountain, he was able to cultivate a middle-grade body of gods and demons. , it is basically impossible to achieve the Great Sun Realm gods and demons.

He was originally assigned to join the Gods and Demons Team to hunt down and kill the Demon King who sneaked in. Later, he entered the underground network and became the Gods and Demons of the Earth Network in Yuanzhou City. He was responsible for intelligence work and the security was improved a lot.

Of course, Lu Qian's ability to enter the underground network is naturally related to Lu Jing.

Lu Jing's Infinite Domain silently covered the entire Lu Mansion, sweeping past the middle-aged Lu Qian and Wang Wan couple, to the even older Uncle Zhong, to the large and small people in the backyard martial arts training ground. A child.

"After eight years of training in the mountains, I even have two nephews." Lu Jing's lips curved into a smile.

Of course, Lu Jing and his brother had always communicated through letters.

After their great revenge was avenged, Lu Qian and his wife no longer had to worry about failure in revenge, which would harm their younger brother and future heirs, so they gave birth to two children one after another in the past eight years.

The elder Lu Dalu Zhiyou is five years old, and the second daughter Lu Zhiqiu is only two years old.

<divclass="contentadv"> "Master, if you are worried, let me protect the Lu family." The charming woman said.

Lu Jing shook his head gently: "There is no need to guard Lu Mansion, I have my own way."

The charming woman and strong man behind him were none other than the Pearl Demon King and the Black Rock Demon King, the two great demon kings of the fourth heaven who had transformed into human forms.

However, Lu Jing renamed the two demons, one was A-Zhu and the other was Xiao Hei, so they were naturally his servants in front of outsiders.

Lu Jing's eyes reflected the shadows of five swords, shooting out silently.

……

Lu's backyard.

The old-looking Uncle Zhong looked at the children who were practicing sword moves in the martial arts field with a very satisfied expression: "The talent of the descendants of gods and demons is indeed outstanding. This boy's talent is better than that of the uncle when he was a child, and he is almost the same as the second uncle.

"But the second master is a peerless genius in swordsmanship that is hard to find in the world. You'er is still young and can't tell much about it.

"If you teach me well, even if I can't enter the Yuanchu Mountain like the second master in the future, there is still hope that the gods and demons will not fall into the gate of my Lu Mansion."

The rise of the Lu family started with the Lu family's parents, and it has only lasted for two generations. Although the number of people is small now, it is already a family of gods and demons that no one can underestimate.

Even in Yuanzhou City, where the gods and demon families gather, the Lu family has a transcendent status.

After all, there is a genius who is the best in the world at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty. All the gods and demon families know that with Lu Jing's talent, it is a high probability that he will become the king of gods and demons in the future.

In the attic, Lu Qian and Wang Wan also looked through the window at their eldest son who was practicing swordplay in the backyard martial arts field and their youngest daughter who was biting her finger and looking at her brother for no apparent reason.

"You'er is five years old now. He seems to have some talent in swordsmanship. You are a god and demon, and I am in the realm of Condensing Pills, but neither of us is good at swordsmanship. We should be sent to a Taoist academy to learn and choose. Is there a good Taoist temple?"

Taking advantage of her husband's free time to return home today, Wang Wan said half-complainingly.

"How could I forget Madam's explanation?" Lu Qian sighed and said, "It's just that I don't want to send You'er to those top Taoist temples."

"Why? The deans of those top Taoist academies are all gods and demons. Their realm and knowledge are higher than those of ordinary warriors. They are more suitable for teaching You'er." Wang Wan asked suspiciously.

Since the Great Migration, Yuanzhou City now has tens of millions of people and hundreds of Taoist temples.

Among them, there are several top Taoist academies where gods and demons teach, and many children of the gods and demons families in Yuanzhou City study in them.

Lu Qian's expression turned gloomy: "I'm afraid that You'er and Qiu'er will enter those Taoist monasteries and associate with other children of the gods and demons families in the future, and they will be contaminated by bad habits and their temperament will be ruined.

"Because of A Jing, our family has a special status. Once You'er and Qiu'er enter those Taoist temples, they will definitely be sought after, and they will inevitably interact with the children of other gods and demon families."

Wang Wan was surprised. She didn't expect her husband to be concerned about this.

But it soon became clear that the small and medium-sized city gates had long been abandoned, a large number of demon kings had entered the human world, the villages and forts in the wild were almost extinct, and even the county towns were in danger.

A large number of people migrated to Fucheng, Zhoucheng or the seven major city gates. The population increased greatly, and the price of food and land increased.

And because the gods and demons below the Great Sun Realm are now useless, they basically stay in Fuchengzhou City.

A big city like Yuanzhou City is home to all the major gods and demon families, including many low-level gods and demons.

In such a chaotic situation, evildoers who care about human life naturally emerge in endlessly, and if they can exist for a long time, they are either from the Gods and Demons family themselves, or they have the Gods and Demons family as their backers, and the atmosphere of the children of the Gods and Demons family has gradually deteriorated.

Just because of Lu Jing, the Lu family's status is aloof, and no one dares to offend the Lu family, or do evil in front of the Lu family.

Wang Wan knew that her husband was extremely disgusted with the evil-doing gods and demons family because of the Wei family's affairs, so he naturally did not want his children to be contaminated by those bad habits and customs.

"There are so many unscrupulous children of those gods and demons families? And haven't you eliminated a lot of evil villains and forces?" Wang Wan comforted.

Lu Qian shook his head slightly and gritted his teeth secretly: "I am the Earth Network God and Demon, and I have a lot of information. If you read those files, I am afraid you will be even more angry than me. What I can intervene to clean up is only a drop in the bucket. They are all obvious. I can’t touch any of the small gangs and forces behind them, and the backers behind them.”

"Can't even move you?" Wang Wan knew the current status of the Lu family.

"So many gods and demon families are implicated, and there are even branch descendants of the kings and marquises of the gods and demon families. How can we do anything?

"Do you think the three lords and gods and demons can't see these files? On the one hand, the adults don't care about these mundane things, but on the other hand, I'm afraid even the lords and gods and demons want to take action, let alone the three There are also some unscrupulous people in your clan."

Lu Qian sighed: "Our family's status is because of A Jing, but no matter how talented A Jing is, he is still just a genius, not a real strong man. A Jing has been training hard in Yuanchu Mountain, how can I bring trouble to him?

"Actually, a lot of people have expressed their opinions on what I have done over the years. They are just worried about A Jing, so if I am given three points, I am not under too much pressure..."

While he was sighing, Lu Qian was suddenly startled, as if something had just entered his body.

Five sword shadows invisible to everyone were attached to Lu Qian and his wife, Uncle Zhong, and the two children Lu Zhiyou and Lu Zhiqiu.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, I just felt a little dazed for a moment..."

……

Outside the Lu family's mansion, Lu Jing turned around and walked towards Dongcheng.

Once you reach the fourth level of Yuan Shen's divided spirit state, you can separate part of your Yuan Shen by consuming a very small amount of the Yuan Shen's source, forming a "Yuan Shen mark" that can be attached to other people or items.

Of course, this kind of distraction is far from comparable to the Yuanshen clone that has reached the seventh level of Yuanshen, and has no ability to act independently.

Lu Jing is already at the fifth level of Yuan Shen, so he can naturally consume the source of Yuan Shen and separate part of his Yuan Shen to form a sword seal and attach it to his relatives.

In critical moments, the sword seal is enough to exert king-level combat power.

After all, only two venerables knew that he went down to guard Yuanzhou City. Not even the Mountain Master and Elder Yi at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty knew about it, so naturally they couldn't tell his brother.

The five souls were separated at once, which consumed a lot of the soul's original source. However, Lu Jing looked forward to the moon mirror, and it was not difficult to restore the original source.

"Master, where are we going?" 'Azhu' asked curiously.

Compared to the taciturn Black Rock Demon King, the Pearl Demon King, who is a descendant of the Demon Saint, has a more lively and arrogant temperament, and is not too afraid of Lu Jing.

"Go to the government, buy a piece of land, and build a Taoist temple. Well, let's call it 'Jianhe Taoist Temple'..."
