If You Can’t Be a Son-in-law, You Have To Be Sanctified

Lu Jing's robe was white and spotless.

Baili Qingfeng stood under a pagoda tree not far away. Under the sunlight, the branches and buds of the pagoda tree fell down, leaving mottled shade on the long gray clothes.

The young man in front of him had white hair fluttering, his back was straight, and he was as free and easy as a painting.

Lu Jing originally wanted to make two jugs of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, but after talking to the white-haired young man just now, he thought about it and made another jug.

"Senior, if you don't like to drink these bitter wines, you can add a few peach blossoms to the sweet-scented osmanthus wine. The peach blossoms are more fragrant in winter, which can remove some bitterness and add a different flavor."

Lu Jing walked under the locust tree, and handed the osmanthus wine in his hand to the white-haired young man.

"My name is Baili Qingfeng."

The white-haired young man stroked the red gourd on his waist with his fingers, and smiled at Lu Jing, "You want to buy me a drink?"

Lu Jing said bluntly: "Ever since I saw Senior, the two swords around my waist have been trembling slightly, and the vitality around me has also flowed away, and even the cold winter wind has stopped for a while.

Now the seniors talk to me, and we meet by fate, but a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus wine is enough for the seniors to taste a few sips. "

Lu Jing was quite frank, and so was Baili Qingfeng. He reached out to take the jug of wine, uncorked the cork, smelled the delicious wine in the jug, and immediately hesitated, saying: "I had some quarrels with the Taoists on Taoshan in the early years. , but I don’t know if he would let me pick some peach blossoms.”

Lu Jing smiled and said, "In addition to Peach Mountain, there are also peach trees planted in the library. Among them, the four seasons are like spring, and the winter wind falling into the library also turns into spring breeze. If senior is willing, I can pick a few for senior."

"Study building..." Baili Qingfeng turned his head and glanced at the direction of the study building. He seemed to see a spring in a vague way, and there was more memory in his eyes.

Immediately he came back to his senses, glanced at Lu Jing, and asked, "Have you met me before?"

Lu Jing didn't hide anything, and walked with Baili Qingfeng with two pots of sweet-scented osmanthus wine: "A few nights ago, I was walking with Mr. Changsheng and another good friend. I once saw my predecessor...with a young girl."

There was an extra smile on Baili Qingfeng's face: "That night, when I saw your youthful beauty, I remembered my time when I traveled the world many years ago, so I drank a few more sips of wine made from stones in Qingshan Street. saw me."

Lu Jing hesitated a little, and asked aloud: "Senior, the girl who led the horse for you should be... Yu Qixiang?"

Baili Qingfeng nodded first, and then said: "Princess Chong'an practiced the idea of ​​abandoning the gods, but she still hasn't made a move for a long time.

But I can still perceive a trace of Princess Chong'an's spirit in your soul, are you old with Princess Chong'an? "

Lu Jingdao: "There is indeed some origin. Princess Chong'an once entrusted me with something. If Yu Qixiang enters Xuandu, let me give it to her."

The two chatted casually while walking along the banks of the Zhutai River.

Occasionally walking through the shade, you can also see the accumulation of white snow, Yushu Qiongpai piled up with snow, coupled with many magnificent buildings, giving this prosperous Taixuanjing a different charm.

Lu Jing is not stupid, already somewhat guessing the origin of the white-haired young man beside him, he feels relieved.

"A red gourd is tied around his waist, with white hair, and his every move is extraordinarily free and easy... Maybe Yu Qixiang will be safer if he comes in person."

Lu Jing thought so in his heart, but Baili Qingfeng just nodded slightly, and said: "Qixiang is still young, and he came to this Taixuanjing, but he is actually a little strange in his heart, and there are many turmoil brewing in this Taixuanjing .

Shengjun wanted to use this to let an old dragon enter the capital, and wanted to see if the old dragon's keel was really the legendary blue dragon bone.

Dafu Wufang Dragon Palace wants to take revenge, and the war in the three states of Chong'an is intensified. , to stop Beiqin Xuanyang Chariot, unable to take the time...

Zhongshan Hou Jing Wushuang and many generals under his command have been ordered, and they will set off soon to the Western Regions to help the princess suppress Yuchi Taisui who rebelled. "

He said casually, with a normal tone, without any signs of nervousness: "In Taixuanjing, there are also many people who want to see Yu Qixiang die, and want to cut off one of the two bloodlines of King Chong'an.

For this girl, the current Taixuanjing is full of dangers.

It is also a kind of comfort to get what her mother left her. "

Lu Jing listened silently, his face remained unchanged, but his eyes were much deeper. He didn't think much about it, and flicked with his right hand, there was already a shell in his hand.

Before Princess Chong'an left, she left him two star shells sent from afar, one for him and the other for Lu Jing to hand over to Yu Qixiang.

"Senior Baili, please pass this shell to Yu Qixiang."

Baili Qingfeng glanced sideways at Yaoji Xingbei, with a bit of surprise in his eyes, then shook his head and said: "Since Princess Chong'an asked you to hand it over, you can hand it over to Qixiang yourself, if I hand it over, she will definitely have to give it to you." Coming to see you will be much more troublesome."

When he said this, he looked at Lu Jing carefully for some reason, and then said: "For Yu Qixiang, she is the daughter of King Chong'an, and with the help of Gushe Daoist's mighty power, she cut a piece The Dragon King killed a dragon palace. For her, the level before her was a level of death.

Emperor Chongtian wanted me to enter Xuandu together with Yu Qixiang. Now that I am here, I can support many things.

But if she wanted to fight for her life, she still needed Yu Qixiang to get out of Taixuanjing by herself, and sending the star shells away would also play a huge role for her.

If you give it to her personally, it can be regarded as a little chance. If Yu Qixiang can walk out of Taixuanjing alive this time, you will also get something. "

Baili Qingfeng said so, but his eyes fell on the two swords of calling wind and calling rain on Lu Jing's waist.

Wherever his eyes fell, the wind lingering on the Wind Exhaling Knife suddenly became more urgent, and the clouds and mist floating on the Rain Calling Sword gradually became thicker.

"Immortal sword."

Baili Qingfeng smiled and nodded: "Although it is only the third rank, it contains the power of heaven and earth, just like the green jade stick of the madman of Chu."

Immortal sword, green jade stick, Chu madman?

Lu Jing was a little curious.

Baili Qingfeng said: "Nine top nine leaders in the world, that madman from Chu is the leader of the world's supernatural powers, and the green jade staff in his hand is also a soldier of immortals. It is said that it is a staff of immortals, and it has the power to produce supernatural powers.

And the two swords on your waist that call the wind and call the rain, although their rank is lower, the power of heaven and earth in them is equally extraordinary. "

"It's just...it's not easy to take control of the authority. Your current cultivation base is still a bit low, and you may need to take a few steps forward."

As Baili Qingfeng said, his eyes were always on the two swords of Calling Wind and Rain.

Lu Jing thought for a while, then suddenly stopped, put his hand on the Hufeng Knife, and slowly pulled out the Longque Dahuan Knife.

"Senior, there has been a six-year drought in Hezhong Road, and even today, the sun is still shining brightly, and there is no drop of water.

The two weapons around my waist sensed the aura of the senior, and they kept arguing, maybe... the senior can inspire the power of heaven and earth in it?

It would be a good thing for He Zhongdao if strong winds and clouds could blow up between the sky and the earth to block the scorching sun and bring down rainstorms. "

The two walked away for a while, although the sunset was far away, the yellowish sunlight shone obliquely in Taixuanjing, and the thin snow in the shadows seemed to be shy, revealing a little glow.

Lu Jing stood shyly in the snow, and the sun finally shone on his white clothes and on the wind blowing knife in his hand.

The black blade of the exhaling wind knife also emitted a faint light, flickering.

Lu Jing's eyes were serious, and there was not much hesitation on his face, he just handed the Wind Breathing Knife in his hand to Baili Qingfeng.

Baili Qingfeng stopped, his eyes became serious like Lu Jing's.

"You want to give me the two swords that call the wind and call the rain...?"

Lu Jing didn't hesitate, and said: "As senior said, my cultivation level is still low, although these two treasures are the relics of immortals, I don't have the power of heaven and earth in them.

And the middle of the river has been in drought for a long time, the crops are not growing, and it is a dead land for hundreds of thousands of miles... Moreover, the disaster in the middle of the river originally only existed in the west, but now it is gradually spreading. The disaster of six years has already died Millions of souls fell in the southeast, and I am afraid that even more people will die. If the seniors can activate the power of heaven and earth, maybe they can..."

With one hand behind Baili Qingfeng's hand, the other held the osmanthus wine that Lu Jing gave him, and interrupted Lu Jing's words: "These two treasures are priceless treasures, and not many people can see through them. But just two third-rank treasures are worth a lot.

You are not from a wealthy family, nor are you a disciple of a famous family, so you gave these two treasures away at will like this? "

Lu Jing frowned, shook his head and said, "Of course it's not random. Senior Baili took the two treasures of calling wind and rain, and if he can really control the power of heaven and earth in it, he will naturally promise Lu Jing to go to the disaster-stricken place more. There are always many people who can live under the wind and rain."

Baili Qingfeng was even more surprised, and asked: "For most people in Taixuanjing, ordinary people who died in disasters are just distant rumors.

You have lived in this Taixuanjing since you were young, and you can still see the difficulty of the robbed? "

Lu Jing frowned even deeper, and said: "Senior, whether in the dream or in the real Dafu Taixuanjing, before I was forced to gain fame, I was just a small citizen who lived a little better.

I have read the books of hundreds of schools, and I have seen many records. I saw that there were disasters in the city, and the people who starved to death were stripped naked and piled up in the gate of the city. Like a pig, when a person dies, that's it. "

"I have also read travel notes, a ranger passed by a robbed place, and saw a woman cooking a child, cooking and crying.

So I asked: 'If you want to eat it, why cry again? '

The woman replied: "This is my son. I discarded it and fed it to others. I would rather feed myself." '"

...

Baili Qingfeng was silent, but his pupils shrank slightly, and the free and easy face appeared a little more gloomy.

Lu Jing said again: "Under the catastrophe, people are haunted by ghosts, and ghosts steal people's spirits. During the day, people often see ghosts, and at night, ghosts turn suspicious people!

In this world, it is not only the people in Taixuanjing who can live, and they are not the only ones who have emotions such as fear and despair.

Those who died like dead pigs must have been inexplicably terrified before they died, and they must have desperately hoped that they could survive. "

"Since that's the case, since the two treasures of calling wind and rain on my waist can save their lives, why should I be stingy?"

When Lu Jing said this, there was a little more smile on his face, and there was a rare bit of complacency in his eyes.

"Senior Baili, I raise the sword to support the light, and the spring thunder is contained in it. The soul stands above the law and thunder, and every thought moves, and the vitality comes to worship me!

Even without these three third-rank treasures, the white clothes on my body are still white clothes, the sword energy I cultivated is still sharp, and the spring thunder still flows in my blood.

I don't rely on these two treasures, and I can still look at the world's pride. There are not only these three third-rank treasures in this world. I am just ahead of the way. Naturally, there are second-rank and first-rank treasures waiting for me, so why should I care too much? "

Lu Jing's white clothes fluttered, falling into Baili Qingfeng's eyes, the young man in front of him was in high spirits, and his fresh air seemed to shine through the clouds and clouds in the sky, changing into a beautiful and graceful figure!

But at this moment, the Hufeng Knife and Rain Calling Sword in Lu Jing's hands began to tremble more and more, but this time the tremor was not because of Baili Qingfeng, but because of Lu Jing's high spirits!

Baili Qingfeng looked at Lu Jing for a long time, and then he reached out and took the wind-breathing knife in Lu Jing's hand. There was a lot of turmoil in the knife, but it suddenly shook... There was a lot of life in the strong wind, but it seemed to be resisting Baili Qingfeng again .

Baili Qingfeng sensed the vitality in the Hufeng Knife, and a gust of cold wind blew by, making his hair fly white.

After a few breaths, he returned the Wind Exhaling Knife to Lu Jing.

"Lu Jing, the sword of the immortal has its own spirit. If you don't agree with it, unless there is an order from heaven and earth, otherwise, even if you have a cultivation level that reaches the sky, you will not be able to wield the power of heaven and earth within it."

Baili Qingfeng said: "The power in the two swords of calling the wind and the rain is the power that contains vitality, and the vitality bursts out among the living beings, and they must be younger.

This is also the reason why after Su Houcang got these two rare treasures from the Yang Jiehai, Emperor Chongtian used the test in front of the palace to find the owner for them.

What they need is a young master. "

When Baili Qingfeng said this, there was a lot of agreement between the words: "It is not a coincidence or luck that the wind and rain fell into your hands. You have good thoughts in your heart. Since there is vitality in your young mind, it is natural To be more suitable for these two treasures than others."

Hearing Baili Qingfeng's words, Lu Jing didn't say much, he just explored and took the Hufeng Knife.

The Exhaling Wind Knife fell into his hands...

In just a split second, the Soldier Bone's Fate was triggered, and the momentum on the knife became much stronger, and the vitality turned into a breeze, lingering on the Exhaling Wind Knife.

Lu Jing put the knife back into its sheath.

Baili Qingfeng felt a little surprised.

"With you holding the knife, the Exhaling Wind Knife is more imposing and powerful, as if it has been completely reborn. This...surprises me."

Having said this, Baili Qingfeng raised his eyes to look at the sky, and said to Lu Jing: "As for the severe drought in the middle of the river, not everyone in the world is standing by.

Taixuanjing allocated a large amount of money for disaster relief, and there were also many practitioners of supernatural powers who used their own power to curb the spread of the disaster. Many people were even punished by heaven and earth for this. When the spring thunder struck, they were wiped out.

I also borrowed the water from the Taihe River to fill the dry land, but later a fairy fell from the sky and wanted to take me with it. Now that fairy follows me closely, and I often suffer from many constraints because of this. "

Baili Qingfeng's words were astonishing.

Lu Jing looked at him, for a moment, he didn't know how to answer.

Baili Qingfeng turned his head sideways and said with a smile, "Do you want to take a look at the appearance of an immortal?"

Lu Jing never answered.

Baili Qingfeng gently stroked his right shoulder, and then snapped his fingers.

In just an instant, a cloud of dense air diffused in an instant.

Baili Qingfeng's shoulders seemed to show a green mountain and a cloud in an instant.

The green mountains and clouds seem to be insubstantial, but they are quite real.

However, deep in the clouds and mists of the green mountains, a figure sitting cross-legged among the clouds slowly emerged.

That figure seemed to be a fairy, with an inexplicable brilliance bursting out from her body, long hair hanging down, colorful clothes fluttering, only a stream of dust falling independently in it.

"This fairy couldn't hold me, so he just leaned on my shoulder and never left. He fell into the green hills and hid himself in the clouds. He stayed with my shoulder every day. It's really...annoying."

Baili Qingfeng sighed, and frowned slightly: "I originally wanted to kill her, but if I did, there would naturally be a steady stream of immortals in Ming Yujing falling into the mortal world. Most of the immortals are too boring. Moreover, falling into the mortal world with violent methods will inevitably add to the catastrophe.

So I simply let her follow. "

After the white-haired young man finished speaking, the fairy in the green mountains and clouds suddenly opened her eyes, but Baili Qingfeng didn't give her any chance, and just brushed her shoulders again.

The green hills, clouds, and fairies all disappeared.

"Everyone in the world has constraints. There are countless people who want to change the world, and there are also those who miss the lives of living beings.

Lu Jing, you are not alone... For example, more than ten years before the six-year catastrophe in the middle of the river, there were actually signs of disaster. At that time, two gentlemen used their great power to attract the water from Parrot Island to rescue the victims in the river.

Without these two people, He Zhongdao would have lost millions of people long before this severe drought. "

When Baili Qingfeng said this, he looked past Lu Jing and looked towards the direction of the library: "But later, the karma of the world and the earth that these two gentlemen carried was too heavy, and many crimes deepened. One person died, and the other was trapped in Taixuanjing, and he was not allowed to step out of Taixuanjing."

Lu Jing's eyelids moved slightly, as if he had guessed something.

"These two gentlemen... one is the fourth gentleman who died with his heart, and the other is the chess-watching gentleman who has been sitting in Taixuanjing for more than ten years, watching chess all day long and keeping his mouth shut."

There was also admiration in Baili Qingfeng's eyes, and he asked Lu Jingdao: "The chess-watching gentleman who was once young and frivolous, bluntly said 'thousands of poems, thousands of cups of wine, and looks at the king from a few floors', has become a chess watcher with a library on his shoulders, sitting withered and watching chess." Mr. Silent.

To this day, is Mr. Guanqi still silent? "

Lu Jing thought of Mr. Guanqi, who was always sitting in front of the jade table on the self-cultivation tower and seldom went out, his eyes became softer.

He smiled and said: "Mr. Guanqi is still silent now, but he is willing to transmit sound with spiritual thoughts. Compared with the past, it should be much better."

Baili Qingfeng was stunned, then smiled, nodded and said: "This is indeed a very good thing, the most romantic chess watcher in Dafu in the past kept his mouth shut, I don't know how many people in the world regret it. "

As the sun set, the two drifted away, Lu Jing didn't realize it, but Baili Qingfeng turned his head, glanced at the sky, and immediately smiled.

In the clouds and mist in the sky, an old man in a luxurious Taoist robe rode a white crane, his eyes fell on Baili Qingfeng and Lu Jing.

There is also a mahogany sword pinned to his waist, holding the jade ruyi in his hand, and the jade crown flashes, which has an indescribable power.

"Lu Jingxin is like a painter, he can paint the world, if he can practice Zhenwu Dao, he can sit in the North Palace.

The two treasures of calling the wind and calling the rain on his waist are exactly the right to control the north and control the wind and rain, perhaps it is the true meaning of the dark. "

This old man is the Lord of Zhenwu Mountain who came here specially for Lu Jing on a crane.

He just sat in the cloud, watched Lu Jing say goodbye to Baili Qingfeng from a distance, and returned to Yanglu Street, back to his small courtyard.

Lu Jing didn't notice it, the master of Zhenwu Mountain sat on the white crane in the clouds with thoughtful eyes.

Just as he thought in his heart, Ning Qiang, Lin Rendong, Lu Yi, Lu Qiong came to the small courtyard today...

In addition to these young masters and ladies, Lu Jing specifically told Ning Qiang to find some way to bring the big maid Mallow next to Taijun Ning to come together.

When Lu Jing was still in the Lu Mansion, Miss Mallow sent a lot of news on purpose and helped Lu Jing a lot.

Lu Jing naturally remembered the past.

Different from Ning Qiang and Lu Yi, Mum Kui can't go out of the house at will like these ladies and gentlemen on weekdays, and usually has to serve by the old lady's side.

So in the past few months, Lu Jing and Mallow have never met. Today is a rare opportunity, and Lu Jing specially invited Mallow to come.

Several people sat in the main house, drinking wine and tea together, enjoying themselves happily.

The happiest among them is Lu Qiong.

Lu Jing met Lu Qiong several times before, and Lu Qiong told him that he wanted to get together with him.

After all, Lu Qiong is his half-brother. Unlike Mrs. Zhong, Lu Qiong has a very simple personality. Although he is a bit naughty on weekdays and sometimes likes to see people make a fool of himself, he never thinks of evil in his heart from the beginning to the end. .

Drinking wine and tea with friends, reciting poems and writing poems are already great things for Lu Qiong.

The extravagance, intrigue, and human relations in the mansion are nothing in Lu Qiong's eyes.

Many times, even Lu Jing felt emotional...

A young man like Lu Qiong who is so carefree and whose heart is like glass, even in this Taixuanjing, he can never find another one.

Several people drank wine, drank tea, and chatted about household matters.

Mallow was flattered and looked at Lu Jing who was sitting on the main seat...

In just a few months, that Young Master Jing who was treated coldly in the Lu family and was even arranged to become a new son-in-law, has become such a character.

This kind of person, not to mention a little maid like him, if there is no relationship, even Young Master Qiong and Miss Qiang are not qualified enough to drink with him.

On weekdays, mallow went out early to buy, and even heard many storytellers and young scholars talk about Lu Jing... saying that he was Dafu's fourth favorite.

The leader of the three exams, the master of calligraphy and painting, the second-story gentleman, the law enforcement in white clothes, and the seventeen-year-old monk...

No matter what kind of identity it is, it can already be dazzling if placed on those young nobles.

And when these identities are all turned into white clothes, falling on the young master in front of him, it is probably not an exaggeration to say that he is the fourth proudest.

There is also a waning moon in the sky tonight.

After drinking for three rounds, everyone bid farewell.

When parting, Lu Jing suddenly said: "Tomorrow's New Year's Eve, I have invited the Holy Monarch, and I will welcome my mother's bones out of Lu's tomb for burial."

Lin Rendong's expression changed slightly.

Ning Qiang and Lu Yi looked at each other, and both fell silent...

After a few breaths of time passed, Ning Qiang hesitated, and said, "Cousin...I shouldn't have said anything...it's just New Year's Eve..."

Lu Jing was surprisingly firm, shaking his head and said: "I promised... myself, my mother walked on an unknown day, and was never buried in the Lu family's tomb.

Now that the Holy King has granted my request, allowing my mother to receive the phoenix coronet and Xia Pei, and the body of the imperial order, I have to choose a beautiful day. "
