Self-cultivation in the world of monster hunting

Ming's Xianyi Village is different from many aristocratic families. It is not built on an isolated island in the mountains, far away from the world.The blue bricks and black tiles used in the house are even simpler than ordinary houses.

A group of people walked around and played, and they arrived soon. Ming Zizhen had been waiting at the door for a long time.

I haven't seen them for more than a month, but Ming Zi really looks much better. When he saw them from a distance, he hurried over to meet them.There are no disciples or servants following behind, and they don't pay attention to ostentation at all.

Lu Xiang felt that this was too kind and easy-going, as if they were visiting relatives in the countryside, so Lu Xiang regretted that he didn't bring a basket of local eggs.

"Lord Sijun, Mr. Lu." Ming Zizhen saluted, and then said, "My mother has prepared dinner, and I will wait for you two."

"Wow, Mrs. Ming cooks herself? It's really rude, and we didn't buy anything..." Lu Xiang was incredulous, thinking that it was not enough for him to carry a basket of local eggs, and maybe he should also carry a piece of old farm bacon.

Ming Zizhen shook his head again and again: "Don't be polite, I told my father and mother about the help you both gave me, and they are as grateful to you as I am. We are very happy if you can come, how can we accept your things? ?”

Ming Zizhen led them in, led them through the simple and elegant manor, and introduced them to them as they walked.

Although Xianyi Village is not big, there are thousands of disciples. The majestic Qishan Mountain behind Xianyi Village also belongs to the Ming family, and it is a place for disciples to practice.

After talking enthusiastically all the way, we arrived at the main courtyard within a short walk.When Lu Xiang entered the hospital, he saw a beautiful woman in a coarse cloth with a little powder on it. Although she was dressed plainly, her outstanding demeanor was hard to ignore. Lu Xiang immediately guessed that this was Ming Zi's real mother.

And Ming Zhao, the head of the Ming family, is also quite outstanding, and his appearance is still in the state of a young man.

Ming Zizhen introduced Lu Xiang and Sijun to Mingzhao and his wife. Lu Xiang obediently bowed to the younger generation, while Sijun only indifferently bowed to Mingzhao and his wife.

At this time, Lu Xiang discovered something that he had never paid attention to—that is, people of his peers and even seniors all use honorifics for Sijun.

Even cultivators can’t tell the age, and Sijun’s face looks to be in his early twenties. Lu Xiang originally thought that everyone respected Sijun because he was powerful, and always thought that Sijun was only a few years older than himself, but in fact, when he thought about it carefully, 15 Sijun was ranked first in the list of celestial masters years ago, when Lu Xiang was still a one-year-old baby.

So it's impossible for Sijun to be that powerful when he was five years old, right?Maybe Sijun is really not the same generation as himself.

Thinking about it this way, Lu Xiang suddenly felt that the distance between him and Sijun had been drawn far away. Sijun's kindness to him was just that the elders took care of the younger ones.

Inexplicably makes people... very unhappy.

Lu Xiangwu walked away for a while, and when he realized it, Ming Zizhen had already introduced two other people of his generation.

Different from the extravagance of Wenren's family, the Ming family does not have a courtyard for one person. In addition to the owner and his wife, the main courtyard also lives in Ming Zizhen, his younger sister Ming Ningrong who has not left the cabinet, and Ming Zhao's two disciples Ming Zimo and Ming Zhao. Ming Zishu.

Entering the gate of the main courtyard is like entering an ordinary small farmyard and seeing a very harmonious and enthusiastic family of six.

Ming Zimo and Ming Zishu are a few years older than Ming Zizhen, and they are quite calm and quiet. After greeting Lu Xiang and Sijun, they have no sense of existence. Ming Ningrong is a very beautiful girl, as old as Lu Xiang, Very shy, he went up to the second floor when he saw a stranger, and didn't come down until he was ready for dinner.

After some polite greetings, Lu Xiang finally became acquainted with the members of the Ming family. Although Sijun kept silent, everyone knew what kind of personality he was, and it was already a pleasure to be able to sit here quietly drinking tea and eating. It gave everyone a great face.

After chatting for a while, Lu Xiang didn't have any feelings for Ming Zhao, a legendary hero who donated money to help the poor, but fell in love with Mrs. Ming.

He grew up with his master and never met his parents, but he imagined that his mother should be just like Mrs. Ming, passionate, straightforward, and loving him with a sincere heart.

Mrs. Ming also liked Lu Xiang very much, so she looked at him kindly, and said with a smile: "When I saw Mr. Lu, I felt kind, just like my youngest son. Mr. Lu is also sixteen this year. It's almost time to get married, I don't know if Mr. Lu has..."

Mingzi really didn't have the nerve to mention the relationship between Sijun and Lu Xiang to his parents. Hearing this, his skin tensed up. He was afraid that Sijun would be upset and pick him up on the spot and leave. That would be too embarrassing!

So Ming Zizhen quickly interrupted Mrs. Ming: "Mother, Mr. Lu already has a good match."

"Really? Mr. Lu is still young, are you in such a hurry?" Mrs. Ming looked at Lu Xiang, and Lu Xiang understood that Ming Zi was really trying to save him, so he nodded immediately.

Mrs. Ming was quite disappointed, but she soon cheered up again, suddenly turned to Sijun, and asked, "I don't know Mrs. Sijun..."

Ming Zizhen hastily interrupted again, and said: "Mother, Master Sijun also has a heart to belong to. The two of them are a perfect match, and they are a natural pair that will envy others. Don't be so enthusiastic."

Sijun took a sip of tea and remained silent.

"Hey!" Mrs. Ming sighed with emotion, and complained to Ming Zizhen: "So all your friends have someone they like, but you have no one now..."

Ming Zizhen: ...

"Let's talk about this matter again..." Ming Zizhen looked helplessly at his father and senior brother for help. Ming Zimo, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke and smiled gently: "Senior brother naturally knows it in his heart."

Ming Zishu also chimed in: "Junior brother just doesn't want to, if he wants, girls who like him can all line up to the gate of Qicheng from here."

Ming Zhao also laughed heartily, and said: "The world is not peaceful, why do you call yourself home? Zizhen still has a lot to do, and I will support him."

Originally, the atmosphere was quite relaxed and happy, but when we got to this point, we had to mention the recent unrest in the world, that is, the downfall of Wenrenshi.

The expressions of several members of the Ming family became serious at the same time. Ming Zhao shook his head and said regretfully: "The Ming family and the Wenren family have been friends for generations. It hurts my heart. But now Mr. Wenren has taken responsibility, and he has already paid the price. As long as we can correct the evil and return to the right, if there is a need for us, we will naturally help with all our strength."

Lu Xiang was full of enthusiasm, and thought that he would be willing to help if he needed anything, but before he could say it, Sijun stared at him.It was only then that Lu Xiang remembered that Sijun might still remember Wenren Feihong's revenge for hurting him with a hidden weapon, but in fact Lu Xiang almost forgot.

So Lu Xiang shut his mouth and didn't make a statement.

Ming Zizhen took up the topic, gritted his teeth and said: "Ah Hong has already paid the price, but what about the underground gambling house? This kind of cancer that endangers the world should not exist in the world at all! I have sworn that I will definitely eradicate them !"

Mrs. Ming trembled slightly, turned her face away and said in a low voice: "You always think about the peace of the world in your heart, but have you ever thought about my worries as a mother? You have only been back for a few days, and you are leaving again?"

Ming Zizhen held his mother's hand and said solemnly: "Mother, this is something I must do. If the underground gambling house can destroy Wenren's family today, there is no guarantee that my Ming family's thoughts will not be touched in the future. I will do this. It is also for the future of the Ming family."

"Master." Ming Zimo spoke out and said seriously, "I will follow my junior brother and will definitely try my best to protect him."

Ming Zishu also said: "Master, even though I want to stay in the village and not go with my junior brother, as long as my junior brother needs it, I will go there immediately, and I will never let my junior brother do anything."

Mrs. Ming quickly said: "You are all my children. No matter who has something to do, I, a mother, will feel sorry for you. As long as everyone protects themselves, no one will have any trouble."

Lu Xiang finally found an opportunity, and interjected: "Is Mr. Ming going to investigate the underground gambling house?"

Ming Zizhen nodded and said: "Well, several juniors have gone to Yucheng to investigate before, and now they have some clues, but the juniors still can't handle it. Brother Zimo and I plan to go together."

"Well, you must be careful." Mingzhao frowned, and said solemnly: "According to what Zizhen said, the people in the underground gambling houses are very powerful. If I didn't have old injuries, I should also be with Zizhen and Zimo." go."

The "old wounds" that Ming Zhao mentioned should be the wounds left only by the battle of killing demons many years ago.Lu Xiang has seen from the book of secrets that Mingzhao used to be ranked in the top five of the list of celestial masters, but now he is almost half useless. His right hand is not very flexible, and he often trembles.

But this did not affect the respect of the whole Jianghu for him and the Ming family.

Mingzhao continued: "That masked man was already unfathomable that day. If Master Sijun and Mr. Lu were not there, it is not certain whether Zizhen can come back safely."

After saying this, several members of the Ming family turned their attention to He Sijun and Lu Xiang.

Lu Xiang knew what this meant, and after a little hesitation, Sijun secretly grabbed his hand under the table.

So Lu Xiang lowered his head to pick up the rice, and pretended guiltyly that he didn't understand.

Mingzhao understood what they meant, and although he was disappointed, he didn't say much about the matter. The Ming family chatted about their plans to go to Yucheng in the future. .

After dinner, Ming Zizhen took Sijun and Lu Xiang to the inner courtyard, and arranged two guest rooms for them next to his own room.

Ming Zizhen left quickly without chatting a few words, and the two of them were not in a hurry to sleep. Sijun stayed in Lu Xiang's room and drew a barrier to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

Then Lu Xiang took out the three from the Qiankun bag and discussed them together.

Xing Yuan was the first to speak, looked at Lu Xiang strangely and asked, "Why didn't you go to investigate with Ming Zizhen? Didn't you say you liked Ming Zizhen?"

Lu Xiang said: "Our own plan has been perfected. The latest volume of "Looking for the Sword" has caused a lot of discussion. Our fake identities will soon spread. At this time, we are with Mr. Ming. It's easy to do bad things. Besides, except for Mr. Ming, I don't trust his seniors. With so many disciples in the Ming family, who can guarantee that all of them will be of one mind and one mind with him? In case one of his seniors leaks our plan, Isn't it a waste of effort?"

Xingyuan smiled and said: "Has the protagonist's intuition played a role again? I also saw many disciples of the Ming clan along the way today. Who do you suspect is wrong?"

"No, I can't feel anything now." Lu Xiang lay low on the table and murmured, "The protagonist's intuition disappeared from his head because he was dazzled by jealousy. Today I saw Ming The young master's family is so happy, I'm so envious, I really hope I can find my family soon..."

Lu Xiang was actually joking, but after he finished speaking, everyone suddenly fell silent, even Lu Xiaoji and Lu Xiaogu stopped messing around and looked at him quietly.

Lu Xiang noticed everyone's gaze, sat up a little nervously, and said, "Hey, what's the matter? Are you looking at me like that?"

No one speaks.

After a while, Sijun slowly raised his hand, patted his head softly a few times, looked at him calmly, Lu Xiaoji and Lu Xiaogu also came over, crawled into his arms and hugged him tightly .

Lu Xiang sniffed, and said very movedly: "I just said it casually... But thank you very much."

"It should be, no thanks." Xingyuan conjured up a long flower root, pinched Lu Xiang's face affectionately, and continued, "Although your silly son is very disobedient, Dad will still treat you well in the future." Taking care of you, after all, a father's love is like a mountain."

"You took advantage of me again!" Lu Xiang jumped up to pull Xingyuan's petals, but fortunately this time Lu Xiaoji and Lu Xiaogu fought each other in time, preventing them from fighting each other again.

After such a commotion, the low mood just disappeared in an instant. After discussing for a while, everyone decided to leave Xianyi Manor tomorrow and go to Yucheng. Find a suitable place on the way and put on a false identity.

But Lu Xiang still felt a little guilty towards Ming Zi, and said worriedly: "I don't know if Mr. Ming and the others can handle it."

Sijun patted Lu Xiang on the head again, and said, "He will be fine."

Think about it too.

Both Ming Zizhen and Ming Zimo are well-known in the Jianghu, so conspicuous two people, Lu Xiang felt that he would not be able to enter the underground gambling house at all.Besides, even if he went in, with the help of Ming Zimo, the ninth master on the list of celestial masters, it should be fine.If it doesn't work, Lu Xiang and the others will help Ming Zizhen when they meet in an underground gambling house.

So Lu Xiang put his heart down for the time being, and said "Sleep in peace" to Sijun, but Sijun didn't answer him, and finally patted his head before leaving.

Early the next morning, Lu Xiang bid farewell to Ming Zizhen.

The Ming family did not politely try to persuade them to stay, but sincerely invited them to visit again next time. Lu Xiang agreed, and decided to bring home-grown eggs and old-fashioned bacon from the farm next time.

Leaving Qicheng, they did not hire a carriage, but chose to walk.After walking for a day, when it was dark, I happened to arrive at a place with no village in front and no shop in the back. I couldn't find anyone to stay, so I had to light a fire and sleep in the wilderness.

It's about half a month away from Yucheng, and it's about time to dress up at this time, otherwise it will be too abrupt to dress up in Yucheng.

Lu Xiang had already been prepared to wait for this day with a desperate heart, so when Xingyuan wanted to put on makeup for him, he acted very calmly, without the slightest resistance.

After putting on makeup, I have to wear a skirt painfully.

Xingyuan rummaged through the Qiankun bag, and said angrily: "It's over, I found that I only have one skirt, and you tore it up last time, it's over, I can't find a new skirt! Lu Xiang, you've done something bad!"

Lu Xiang immediately defended: "How do I know you only have one skirt? Didn't you say that an outstanding disguiser will prepare everything! So you are not an outstanding disguiser at all!"

The two quarreled again, and Sijun, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly interrupted them: "Don't quarrel."

So the two people who were about to explode were quiet.

Sijun opened his eyes, and suddenly took out a light green chrysanthemum embroidered silk skirt from his Qiankun bag, and said, "Here is it."

Lu Xiang and Xing Yuan were startled at the same time, and said in unison: "Why do you have skirts?"

Sijun said without changing his face, "I bought it."

The two wanted to ask him why he bought it and when he bought it, but he frowned, muttered to himself "the color is not suitable", and then took out a pair of pink and white skirt.

Lu Xiang:! ! !

Xingyuan:? ? ?

Sijun looked at Lu Xiang calmly, and then said, "Don't you like it?"

Lu Xiang opened his mouth blankly and didn't know how to answer, Sijun waved his hand again, and instantly took out a dozen sets of colorful skirts, waiting for him to choose one he likes.

Lu Xiang's jaw dropped to the ground, and Xingyuan rolled over immediately after he realized it, covering his mouth to cover up his burst of laughter. Lu Xiaoji thought he was eating something delicious, so he hurried over to ask for it.

Xingyuan hugged Lu Xiaoji tightly, stroked his chicken feathers, and whispered to his ear, "I just said that Gui Jianchou likes it very much, and bought so many secretly! Hahaha, I'm so happy! "

Lu Xiaoji didn't know, so he said, "Hey?"

But Xingyuan didn't care about him anymore, stopped smiling and got up, randomly picked a pure white dark embroidered light gauze skirt from the pile of skirts, handed it to Lu Xiang, and said: "It must look good in this."

Then Xingyuan explained to Lu Xiang the correct way to wear the skirt in detail, and Lu Xiang took the skirt and hid behind the big tree to change it. This time, he finally put it on smoothly.After another half-day of preparation, Lu Xiang finally walked out cautiously with a blushing face.

Lu Xiang took a deep breath for a long time before he dared to look at Sijun. His face was sharp and angular under the reflection of the jumping flames. His pupils, which were always cold, seemed to have a little warmth in the warm firelight.

The surrounding area is very quiet, only the sound of firewood burning can be heard.

Lu Xiang knew that Sijun was looking at him, but he couldn't distinguish the meaning of his gaze, and after only looking at him for a moment, he felt uneasy.

Will he hate it?

Lu Xiang couldn't figure it out.

"Anyway, that's it!" Lu Xiang smashed the can, stood upright and said, "I don't care who wants to make fun of me, this is a huge sacrifice I made to safeguard justice."

After speaking, Lu Xiang fell to the ground covering his face, closing his eyes and ignoring anyone.

After a while, Lu Xiang heard Xingyuan and Lu Xiaoji snickering aside, and wanted to cover his ears uneasily, when suddenly he heard Sijun's voice again.

Sijun's tone was not fluctuating, and his voice was very soft.

"It's beautiful, go to sleep."

After saying this, Lu Xiang felt Sijun lying down on his back, only an arm's length away from him.

This... How can I sleep here!

Lu Xiang suddenly felt that something was wrong with him, and his heart beat so fast that it seemed to explode.He couldn't be sure whether this abnormal situation was because Sijun said "It looks good", or because Sijun was sleeping so close beside him.

The only thing that is certain is that these abnormalities are all due to Sijun.

This feeling is so subtle that people dare not think about it. Lu Xiang has never felt that his mind is so chaotic, like a ball of thread entangled him, and he can't find the beginning no matter what.

This kind of confusion enveloped Lu Xiang all night, so that he finally felt a little sleepy at dawn, and when he was about to fall asleep, he was suddenly called up to hurry.

Lu Xiang was in a bad mood because he didn't sleep well, and he kept his mouth shut all the way, which was affirmed by Xing Yuan, who said that he looked very close to the bad-tempered and annoying lady of the family.

So Lu Xiang's mood became even worse.

Half a month later, the annoying lady of the family and the loyal guards climbed over a small hill, and finally saw Yucheng not far away.

This city is much bigger than Lu Xiang imagined. The whole city is surrounded by barriers, surrounded by clouds and mists, and the boundaries of the city cannot be seen at all.In this kind of place, even light-winged birds can't hear any news.

Lu Xiang and the others searched for a long time before finally finding the only entrance and exit gate.

It is not difficult to enter the city, no one will stop you, but if you want to go out of the city, it may not be so easy.

After half a month of adaptation, Lu Xiang has been able to play his role very skillfully.And in the past half a month, Sijun can bring out a new skirt every day, Lu Xiang changes it every day, and now he is so proficient that he can change into a person just by changing women's clothes.Whether it is walking, sitting, lying, posture or speech, she is like a arrogant little girl.

It's just that Sijun dressed up better than him, she completely restrained her charming aura, and completely changed a person.It looked like a guard who had high spiritual power but no brains and only knew how to obey blindly.

Xingyuan Lu Xiaoji and Lu Xiaogu also consciously hid in the universe bag. In order to prevent Lu Xiang and Sijun from being exposed, they would not show up when outsiders were around.

After adjusting his state at the gate of the city, Sijun walked behind Lu Xiang, and followed the arrogant and domineering Lu Xiang into the city with a low eyebrow.

After passing through the thick fog, the sound of playfulness gradually became clear, and the scene in Yucheng slowly appeared before Lu Xiang's eyes.

This is more lively than any city that Lu Xiang has passed by during this time, but this kind of excitement is different from other excitement.

The scene inside is really... indescribable.
