In that distant little black house

Seeing that Zhang Jingmo and Lu Guijiu were only talking, the butler looked like an old man, but he didn't pay attention to him at all. His expression turned cold, and he yelled angrily at the people behind him: "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and get rid of this thing?" They tied me up!"

When the officers and soldiers heard the words, they all sped up and ran towards Zhang Jingmo and Lu Guijiu.

Zhang Jingmo was expressionless, but with a wave of his hand, the officers and soldiers running towards him and Lu Guijiu paused, and by the way, they froze like a sculpture.

The old man was stunned when he saw this scene.

Lu Guijiu took a few steps forward, walked up to the old man, and asked, "Who are you from the Lu family?"

Although the old man was startled by Zhang Jingmo's actions for a while, he reacted quickly, and said in a trembling voice: "I am the housekeeper of the Lu family, if you dare to harm me, you will be against the Lu family!"

Lu Guijiu said meaningfully, "Then if I kill you here, do you think anyone will know?"

The old man choked for breath, and his complexion became even uglier.

But Lu Guijiu's gloomy expression was only for a moment, he quickly put away his arrogance, and said to the old man: "Take me to Lu's house."

The old man heard the words, but he gritted his teeth and said: "You are dreaming!"

After hearing his answer, Lu Guijiu was a little surprised. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? You don't want to take me to Lu's house?"

The old man said angrily: "You want to harm the Lu family, and you still want me to take you there? I will never be this sinner."

Lu Guijiu smiled and said: "If I really want to find the Lu family, even if you don't tell me, can't I ask others?"

The old man's face turned pale, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "You, who are you?"

Lu Guijiu said lightly, "Lead the way."

The old man still didn't say a word, but found that he couldn't control his body, so he could only walk towards the door step by step, and took Zhang Jingmo and Lu Guijiu to the street where Lu Mansion was located.

After arriving at the gate of the Lu Mansion, Lu Guijiu realized that Zhang Jingmo had guessed correctly.

Not only did the Lu family not decline, but the scale of the house was even larger than before. It was obviously a prominent family in the imperial city.

The old man walked to the front and back of the gate of Lu's mansion, and he seemed to lose his strength, and his whole body fell limply to the ground.

Lu Guijiu casually threw him a bottle of elixir, and then stepped forward and knocked on the door of Lu Mansion.

After a while, a doorman opened the door for Lu Guijiu, but when he saw the old man lying on the ground panting and Lu Guijiu standing at the door with an expressionless face, he stared and said, "What's going on here?" , Butler Chen, what's wrong with you?"

The old man said weakly: "Go and call the second young master...someone has knocked on the door..."

The janitor ran away after listening, the speed startled Lu Guijiu.

Seeing this scene, Lu Guijiu said thoughtfully: "It seems that they are doing well."

Zhang Jingmo smiled, but did not answer.

After a while, a man and a woman walked out of Lu's mansion. The man's appearance was somewhat similar to Lu Guijiu's, and he should be young and not confused by his age.Behind the two were dozens of servants, who looked very imposing.

When the man saw Lu Guijiu and Zhang Jingmo, he frowned and shouted, "Who dares to play wild in the Lu family?"

Lu Guijiu said seriously: "I am your ancestor."

Hearing this, the man said angrily, "Are you my ancestor? I'm still your ancestor!" After speaking, he stabbed towards Lu Guijiu with his sword - he was also quite violent.

Lu Guijiu didn't dodge, stretched out his hand and pinched the tip of the man's sword, and then twisted the sword into several sections with a little force with his fingers.

The man immediately froze in place, staring blankly at the broken sword.

Lu Guijiu said helplessly beside him, "I am really your ancestor."

The man became even angrier, and opened his mouth to curse: "Fuck your mother, my ancestor, my ancestor is a fairy!"

Lu Guijiu said: "I am also a fairy."

The man said: "Is there such an ugly fairy?!"

Zhang Jingmo couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

As soon as Lu Guijiu's face turned dark, he took off the disguise on his body, and he said angrily: "Then what?"

The man was stunned for a moment, then looked up and down seriously at Lu Guijiu, then knelt down on the ground with a plop, and shouted: "Ancestor!"

Lu Guijiu: "..."

Zhang Jingmo was already laughing out loud.

Lu Guijiu's expression twisted for a moment: "Now how do you know that I am your ancestor?"

Hearing this, the man tremblingly took out a portrait from his bosom, he said: "This is a portrait handed down from our ancestors, each of our sons of the Lu family has one..."

Lu Guijiu looked at the portrait, and the person in the portrait was exactly like him.

Lu Guijiu said: "How do they know what I will look like when I grow up..."

Zhang Jingmo, who had been standing by the side without speaking, suddenly opened his mouth and said, "I sent your portrait to your home."

After hearing this, Lu Guijiu turned to look at Zhang Jingmo.

Zhang Jingmo said: "After your father passed away, someone sent the news, but you were traveling at that time, so you missed it." Zhang Jingmo said the matter with a flat expression, "So many things happened after that, I forgot about it for a while.”

After Lu Guijiu finished listening, he hummed lightly.

The Lu family who was kneeling on the ground listened to the conversation between the two, but his expression became more and more excited. He said in a trembling voice, "Old Ancestor, it's really you!"

Lu Guijiu didn't answer, but just raised his head and looked around the mansion.Although it was the cold winter at this time, it still couldn't conceal the splendor of the Lu Mansion. There were large areas of red plums standing in the cold wind, and the snowflakes were falling on the branches, looking pure and solemn.The buildings in the mansion are all meticulously crafted, and it can be seen that they are all made by craftsmen.

From this mansion alone, we can see how prosperous the Lu Mansion is at this time.

Lu Guijiu asked, "Why did you move out from the original house?"

The man thought it was Lu Guijiu who was angry, and hurriedly explained: "Ancestor, it's like this. A hundred years ago, a Taoist who read the hexagrams did a fortune-telling for the Lu family. I don't know exactly how it was calculated, but He said that if he continued to live in that mansion, the Lu family would suffer. We didn't believe it at first, but the family suddenly started to get sick..."

Lu Guijiu interrupted him and said, "Well, I see." He hasn't returned home for hundreds of years, so he didn't intend to comment on what happened to his family.Whether he is a fortune teller or moved out of the original mansion, as long as his family members are still alive and well, it is enough for him to feel at ease.

Zhang Jingmo also said calmly beside him: "Birth, old age, sickness and death, ups and downs, are all reincarnations that mortals cannot escape. As long as they are not deliberately destroyed by others, there is no need to worry too much about the fate of the family."

After he finished saying this, he thought of the Gu clan. If their clan hadn't been exterminated by Tianwan's Yin Demon Cave, I'm afraid they wouldn't have attracted the only remaining members of the Gu clan from the Dayan Sect to pick up Gu Niancang. past.

Lu Guijiu knew that Zhang Jingmo's words were a reminder to him, so he nodded, took out another bottle of elixir from his bosom, and threw it in front of the Lu clan members who were kneeling on the ground: "Take it."

When the members of the Lu clan saw the medicine bottle, they didn't reach out to take it, but kowtowed to Lu Guijiu a few times.

Zhang Jingmo didn't expect Lu Guijiu's next action at the time. After he dropped the elixir, he turned around and said to Zhang Jingmo, "Let's go."

Zhang Jingmo said, "Leave now?" He originally thought that Lu Guijiu, who had always been very concerned about his family, would gather with his descendants before leaving.

The Lu clan member who was kneeling on the ground was also taken aback, he said: "Ancestor, are you leaving now? I, I haven't told my father yet."

Lu Guijiu shook his head: "There is nothing to say, I just came back to see how you are doing, since you are all doing well, I will leave."

As he spoke, he said to Zhang Jingmo: "Master, let's go."

Although Zhang Jingmo didn't understand why Lu Guijiu was so anxious, he still accepted Lu Guijiu.

Lu Guijiu looked up at the scenery of the mansion, and sighed: "The housekeeper outside the door is nice, remember to treat him well, and if you encounter any difficult obstacles, burn the talisman that my master gave you that year."

Seeing that Lu Guijiu really said he was going to leave, the members of the Lu clan panicked. He said, "Ancestor, don't you want to see how your descendants are doing? Why did you leave in such a hurry just now?"

When Lu Guijiu heard this, he laughed softly. He didn't answer his descendants' questions, but turned his head to Zhang Jingmo and said again: "Let's go."

Zhang Jingmo didn't ask Lu Guijiu what he was thinking, but followed behind him, and the two walked out of Lu's mansion slowly.

The Lu clan member kneeling on the ground stared blankly at Lu Guijiu's figure disappearing at the door, and it took him a while to fully realize that his ancestor... really left.

The woman kneeling next to him said: "Don't be dumb, and quickly pick up the elixir that your ancestors gave you."

The clansman just woke up like a dream, and reached out to pick up the pill that Lu Guijiu gave him. After he got the pill, he sighed: "My ancestor really came and went in a hurry... "

The woman also sighed: "Oh, how can we mortals guess the thoughts of these gods."

Zhang Jingmo didn't know what Lu Guijiu was thinking at this moment, he only knew that he seemed to be in a bad mood. It stands to reason that Lu Guijiu should be happy to see his family prosper, but he only left two bottles of pills, He proposed to leave by himself.

After Zhang Jingmo and Lu Guijiu walked slowly for a few streets, they stopped outside a restaurant. Lu Guijiu looked up and said, "Master, this is the tallest restaurant in the city. We will stay here tonight." Bar."

Seeing that Lu Guijiu was not in a high mood, Zhang Jingmo said hello.

So the two lived in.

At night, there was no snow on this day, the moon and stars were sparse in the sky, and the cold wind was blowing.

Lu Guijiu sat by the window, looking out the window as if in a daze, Zhang Jingmo sat opposite him, slowly drinking a pot of warm wine.

The night is getting thicker, there is no snow today, and the outside of the house is extraordinarily quiet.

Because the New Year's Eve is approaching, every house in the city hangs a big red lantern at the door. It's getting late at this time. Looking out from the window, you can only see the bright lights inside and outside the city. lively.

After Lu Guijiu was silent for a long time, he slowly said: "I thought I would be happy."

Zhang Jingmo took a sip of his wine and said, "Are you unhappy?"

Lu Guijiu shook his head, he said: "I thought I could calmly accept the departure of my father and the replacement of my clan...but I found that I couldn't do it."

Zhang Jingmo heard this and said: "This is also a common thing."

Lu Guijiu said: "Seeing the prosperity of the Lu family, I should be happy for them, but when I really saw them, there was something indescribable..."

"A sense of strangeness." Zhang Jingmo rubbed his fingers against the wine glass, and added lightly.

Lu Guijiu said: "Master, are you also like this?"

Zhang Jingmo said with a smile: "My master also advised me not to go home and watch it. I just didn't believe in that evil. I didn't know why he persuaded me like this until I saw my family."

Lu Guijiu said: "Then why didn't Master persuade me?"

Zhang Jingmo said: "Because I have been persuaded before, I know that even if I am persuaded, I still have lumps in my heart."

Lu Guijiu smiled wryly.

Zhang Jingmo said: "This hurdle is a hurdle that cultivators have to pass. Some people have passed it easily, but some people have been blocked for a lifetime."

Lu Guijiu looked out the window with a confused look on his face, as if he couldn't understand what Zhang Jingmo said.

Seeing Lu Guijiu's rare fragile appearance, Zhang Jingmo couldn't hold back for a moment and touched Lu Guijiu's head. He said, "You are still young, and you still have a long time."

Lu Guijiu smiled helplessly, and said, "Master, I'm already two hundred years old."

Zhang Jingmo said: "Well...two hundred years old, it's not too old, it's still young."

After the conversation between Lu Guijiu and Zhang Jingmo, the depression in his heart dissipated a lot, because he thought that even if time flies and the sea is changing, Zhang Jingmo will be by his side.

Zhang Jingmo saw that the worry on Lu Guijiu's brows had dissipated a lot, and knew that he had figured it out a little bit, so Zhang Jingmo took another sip of wine and said, "Come on, get drunk and relieve your worries."

Lu Guijiu then raised his glass and drank the first glass of the night.Lu Guijiu was a little surprised when the wine entered the mouth. The wine was not good, and it was far worse than the spirit wine. I don't know why Zhang Jingmo didn't pick it at all.

Zhang Jingmo could see what Lu Guijiu was thinking from his expression, but he just smiled and said, "You don't know, when I'm in a mess, even such a sip of wine is a luxury." Fleeing like a mouse, not to mention drinking, it is lucky to be alive, and after that, he is not so picky about his tongue.

Lu Guijiu's brow showed distress when he heard the words, and he said: "Master, I will never let you suffer again in the future."

Hearing this, Zhang Jingmo said with a half smile but not a smile: "Boy, drink your bar." Who can tell clearly what will happen in the future.

Lu Guijiu looked at Zhang Jingmo with heavy eyes, and there were too many complicated things in his eyes...

Accompanied by wine, the two drank heartily all night.

Until the sky breaks, the white snow reflects the dazzling sunlight.

The gloom between Lu Guijiu's brows was gone, and his eyes were clear.

Zhang Jingmo drank the last sip of wine, then pointed to the place where mountains piled up in the distance, and said, "Did you see it?"

Lu Guijiu said, "Huh?"

Zhang Jingmo slammed the wine glass on the table, then narrowed his eyes and said, "You know that the snow-capped mountain is where we are going on this trip."

Lu Guijiu squinted his eyes and looked there, but he couldn't see clearly.

Zhang Jingmo said: "Want to go?"

Lu Guijiu nodded naturally.

Zhang Jingmo said good, and then laughed again, he said: "Do you know that there are less than ten people who have gone to the top of the mountain to survive?"

Lu Guijiu said firmly, "Then we will be the tenth."

Zhang Jingmo heard the words, but smiled and said: "Good boy."

Lu Guijiu was also smiling, looking at Zhang Jingmo with infinite tenderness in his eyes.

Thirty miles to the south of Yan State, and at the border, there is a snow peak that does not melt all year round.The snow-capped peaks soared into the clouds, and the mountains were always blew by cold winds, and there was hardly any sign of living things.

The wind is so strong that ordinary people will be bloody and bloody after being hung up a few times, but a cultivator must protect his body with spiritual energy at all times so as not to be injured.

On top of this snow peak is a dead land, with no plants and no animals.

During the period, some cultivators were curious about what was in the mountain to form such a wonderful scene, so they went to investigate, but most of them did not find any trace of treasure after entering the mountain.

The birthplace of the strange treasure should be somewhat different, but on this mountain peak, none of the spirit beasts and spirit plants showed signs, so the visitors lost interest and left again.

This situation continued until the demons invaded.

After the demons invaded, a great baby demon entered the mountain by chance, and he discovered that on the top of the mountain was a place where ancient powers sat and transformed, and there were countless magical weapons.

That's why the name of this peak was spread, and Zhang Jingmo also learned about it.

However, this opportunity is not available to everyone.

Back then, after Zhang Jingmo knew the news and was reborn, he went up to this snow peak to find out. However, with his mid-Gold Core cultivation base, he had exhausted his aura before reaching the top of the mountain, and could not move forward.If he hadn't been prepared, he might have been trapped to death on this snow peak.

The things above Xuefeng are what Zhang Jingmo must obtain, which is why he is eager to upgrade his cultivation to the late Golden Core stage.

Lu Guijiu didn't know what was on Xuefeng, but his trust in Zhang Jingmo had reached a level of blindness. Even if Zhang Jingmo told him to die, he might not hesitate to carry out what Zhang Jingmo said.

After the two left the Lu Mansion, they went straight to Xuefeng.

At the foot of Xuefeng, Lu Guijiu suddenly remembered something and asked Zhang Jingmo: "Master, is it because this Xuefeng is relatively close to Lu's house that you let me go back and have a look?"

Zhang Jingmo said lightly: "How come, am I that kind of person?"

Lu Guijiu: "..." At first he didn't think so, but seeing Zhang Jingmo's pretendingly calm expression, he was a little... not sure.

Fortunately, Zhang Jingmo changed the topic immediately, and he first called Zhu Yan out of the Sumeru Ring.Zhu Yan hadn't been able to fly freely for a long time, and this time when he came out, he pecked Zhang Jingmo's hair a few times to show his anger.

Zhang Jingmo said helplessly: "Okay, I was wrong, after a while, I will give you a good meal."

Zhu Yan was happy when he heard that it was eating. It chirped a few times and shook its wings. The original ordinary feathers instantly turned bright red like flames, and the whole bird looked extremely agile.

Lu Guijiu hadn't seen Zhu Yan for a long time, he stretched out his fingers to touch Zhu Yan's head, Zhu Yan turned back and pecked Lu Guijiu.

Lu Guijiu smiled and said, "I haven't seen it in a hundred years, but it has grown a lot."

Zhu Yan and Zhang Jingmo made a contract, and Zhang Jingmo's cultivation base has improved. It is normal for it to grow a lot, Zhang Jingmo said: "It is about to advance."

Zhu Yan is the best spiritual fire, and it is not easy to advance again, but Zhang Jingmo is very clear about its growth trajectory, so he knows exactly when Zhu Yan will advance.

After Zhu Yan came out, a layer of spiritual fire ignited around Zhang Jingmo and Lu Guijiu, isolating the surrounding wind and snow.

Zhang Jingmo looked up at the foot of the mountain not far away, and said to Lu Guijiu: "Let's go."

Lu Guijiu nodded, and followed Zhang Jingmo towards Xuefeng.

When we got to the foot of the mountain, as Zhang Jingmo said, there was a strong wind hanging from the foot of the mountain. These winds were mixed with thick snowflakes, and could even blow a stone. It is normal that there are no living things in this mountain.

Zhang Jingmo entered the wind, but under the protection of Zhu Yan's spiritual fire, his clothes and hair didn't move at all.

The same is true for Lu Guijiu. He looked towards the top of the mountain and said, "Master, how long will it take to climb up from here?"

Zhang Jingmo said: "It's three to five years sooner, five or six years slower." If he conceived a baby, it would only take one month to go up the mountain, but Lu Guijiu's soul was injured, and Ao Mian's incident didn't give him that much. time.

Lu Guijiu said: "It's been so long? Can't we just fly up?"

Zhang Jingmo squinted at him: "You try?"

Try it, try it, since Zhang Jingmo told him to try it, it would not be any danger, but as soon as Lu Guijiu flew up, he felt as if he was carrying a heavy rock, and it was difficult to move even a single step .In a few breaths, it fell straight to the ground like a piece of wood.

Zhang Jingmo smiled and said, "How?"

Lu Guijiu: "..." I don't know why, but I always feel that Master's smile makes his back feel hairy.

Zhang Jingmo lazily said: "Do you think everyone is an idiot and doesn't know how to use a simple method? The plum trees on the side of the road are full of fruits, why no one picks them? Isn't it because-the fruits are all bitter .Don’t ask such stupid questions in the future.”

Lu Guijiu: "..." The feeling just now was really not an illusion.

Seeing that Lu Guijiu had stopped talking, Zhang Jingmo said, "Let's go."

Lu Guijiu hummed, followed behind Zhang Jingmo, and climbed step by step towards the top of the mountain covered by the wind and snow.
