Chapter 424 Are You Here to Entertain Me?

Nine years may not be long or short, but it is enough to change many things.

But the little girl in front of her seemed to be forever frozen in time on the day Lu Heng rescued her, without any change.

It’s still a slightly respectful baggage, still a slightly serious love, even though twenty years have passed, but it still doesn’t have the old-fashioned face, posture and tone...

Lu Heng looked at Xiao Ai in front of him, sighed a little with emotion, and said with a smile: "It's been a long time, Xiao Ai. You are almost thirty years old..."

Xiao Ai, who was immersed in the joy of the wolf god's return, was startled, a little confused, and didn't know why the wolf god suddenly mentioned his age.

For practitioners, there is actually no difference between being thirty years old and being three years old.

But when the Wolf God asked, Xiao Ai nodded seriously and said, "Well, Xiao Ai is twenty-nine years old this year..."

Lu Heng sighed: "Back then, I said that if I had the chance, I would help you find your missing father. But now, twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye, and I don't know what is going on with your father..."

Lu Heng felt slightly apologetic when he mentioned this.

If Xiao Ai's father was just a mortal, he would be almost fifty or sixty years old now, and he doesn't know if he is still alive in the world.

After hearing what Lu Heng said, Xiao Ai was slightly startled.

Then Xiao Ai said: "Being able to always be with Lord Wolf God is what Xiao Ai wants and loves in his heart. As for dad..."

When Xiao Ai said this, he paused slightly, and then said: "Dad disappeared for no reason at that time. He may have died long ago. Xiao Ai has already given up hope."

"What's more, Xiao Ai is now a cultivator. Even if his father is not dead and Xiao Ai can see him again, he cannot show up. Now Xiao Ai can only look at him from a distance and put aside the obsession in his heart. , it’s time to leave. If Xiao Ai shows up, it will worry his father, affect his current life, and add to the trouble..."

Lu Heng was stunned by Xiao Ai's narration.

Then he smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai, you are really... haha..."

It's exactly the same as me.

Lu Heng smiled and shook his head and said: "Okay, let's not talk about this worrying topic. Today is the autumnal equinox. Friends Zhulong and Jiu Mie will arrive in a moment. Although we may set off immediately after meeting, it won't be long. Wait, but you'd better prepare some tea, don't neglect my two bad friends and let them find reasons to ridicule me, Han Yushan, for being poor and stingy."

Lu Heng already knew a lot about these two bad friends, and he would never expose any flaws to cause trouble for them.

After listening to the instructions, Xiao Ai took the order and left to prepare tea.

There is no shortage of treasures in Hanyu Mountain. After all, Arctic Sky Cabinet Palace and Thousand Needles City send gifts here every year.

When the envoys from the Renwang Palace come to invite Lu Heng to a banquet every year, they also bring gifts to the door.

These precious treasures were usually kept in the Wolf Temple and no one enjoyed them. Now that Jiu Mie and Zhu Long came to the door, they could just show them off so that their two losers could see Han Yu Mountain's financial resources.

Not long after Xiao Ai prepared the tea, a dark escaping light appeared in the distant sky.

The escaping light was gloomy, dark, and threatening. Even the white clouds were scattered wherever it went, scaring many wild beasts on the ground to flee. If someone who didn't know the truth saw it, they would definitely think it was an evil spirit passing through.

But in fact, the people inside are not evil spirits. Of course, it is inappropriate to say that they are righteous monks. After all, righteous people will not have such a strong evil spirit...

And here comes Lu Heng’s damaged friend Zhulong.

After the dark escaping light cut through the sky, in the horrified and awed eyes of many third-generation disciples of Hanyu Mountain, it landed on the main peak of Hanyu Mountain and in front of the Wolf Temple. It transformed into an old man in gray robes and a sinister face. dragon.

No matter how many times he saw it, Zhulong's gloomy expression, as if someone owed him a lot of money, always made Lu Heng feel inexplicably happy.

In front of the Wolf Temple, Lu Heng stood up and said with a smile: "Welcome to the old immortal Zhulong to come to Hanyu Mountain... The old immortal is here, the peppermints in Hanyu Mountain are shining, and we are honored. Come, come, please come quickly. The old immortal takes his seat."

As soon as Lu Heng opened his mouth, he was the old Onmyoji. But he looks very enthusiastic.

Zhulong obviously did not know the malicious meaning of the term "Old Immortal".

He shook his head and said: "What old immortal... nondescript name, my friend, what kind of tricks are you playing today?"

Under Lu Heng's warm invitation, he sat down under the pavilion, looked up and looked around, and said, "My friend, Hanyu Mountain is clean and leisurely, and it's a good place to live. It's just that the calamity clouds above my head keep spinning around. , I feel dizzy... My friend, are you sure this calamity cloud won't spin around and suddenly a thunder will fall? "

Zhulong stared at the huge swirling cloud above his head and asked suspiciously: "As a practitioner, how can you live a normal life and practice under such a calamity cloud?"

"Forget it, my friend. After all, you are a freak. But even you, the disciples of Hanyu Mountain, seem to be able to ignore the aura of the evil of thunder... It is incredible, incredible."

Zhulong shook his head and said: "A litter of freaks, a litter of freaks."

Lu Heng made tea for Zhulong and said with a smile: "Without him, I just got used to it after living here for a long time."

"In addition, the group of third-generation disciples in the back mountain are not very advanced, but they are not practicing ordinary skills. Although they have not had a chance to see the "Tao Jing", the "Magic Skills" can be passed on to them."

"Practice such an ancient secret method and live in Hanyu Mountain from the beginning. It is normal to not be afraid of thunder. Ji Cao, Ji Cao, don't be alarmed, my friend, come and drink tea."

"This cup is called Northern Territory Tianbing. It is the famous top tea in the Northern Territory. Friends, come and try it to see if it tastes authentic," Lu Heng said with a smile.

Zhulong took it casually and drank it down in one gulp, saying: "My friend is being polite today. Could it be that he has bad intentions and wants to trick people? Hmm... Speaking of which, where is my friend Jiu Mie? Why haven't you arrived yet?"

Zhulong looked at the sky and said: "I thought I came late enough, but I didn't expect that my friend Jiu Mie would come even later... Um, wait, magical power?"

Zhulong, who had just mentioned Jiu Mie, looked over in surprise and said, "My friend, are you going to directly teach these brats the "Magic Skills"? Tsk... you are really willing to spend a lot of money."

Zhulong shook his head and said: "It is a great blessing that these little kids have the honor to worship you at Hanyu Mountain. They are so lucky and have made so many people envious."

In response, Lu Heng shook his head and said with a smile: "Blessings come from disasters, and misfortunes come from blessings. What seems to be a good thing today may not necessarily be a bad thing in the future."

"If you join my Hanyu Mountain sect, you will indeed have top-notch skills, but you will also become the target of public criticism and attract attention."

"When the catastrophe of the world comes in the future, these disciples will probably become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of powerful enemies outside the world like me, and they will be the first to be cut off."

Lu Heng's story made Zhulong shake his head.

"When the catastrophe of the world comes, you will eventually perish before you are born. The difference is just that you die earlier or die later... They are all deaths, and there is no difference between them."

"On the contrary, if I join your Hanyu Mountain sect and practice this magical skill, I have a better chance of entering the innate realm than worshiping in other places."

"And if you step into the innate realm and can activate the life-expiring technique, you will have the qualifications to extend your life and live another life in the new era."

"So by worshiping here, they have a chance to earn a living for their future."

"In the world, there are countless practitioners who are suffering hard, but they are still unable to enter the innate world. They are not even qualified to earn their own lives. Compared with those practitioners, these little dolls in your mountain can really be called It’s overwhelming luck.”

During the conversation between the two, the tea was changed twice, and the sky gradually became darker.

Finally, a skinny figure stepped on the stone steps of Hanyu Mountain and appeared in the sight of Lu Heng and Zhulong.

Seeing the ascetic monk in front of him, who had no aura to speak of and was as pure as a mortal, Lu Heng and Zhu Long were greatly surprised, but at the same time they spoke one after another.

"Friend, you are late again."

"It's not that I'm late again, it's that Shanshan is late."

The two of them exchanged greetings, which made the old monk chuckle, but he said without blushing: "I'm not late, I'm just in time."

The old monk was not polite. After walking into the pavilion, he sat down on the empty seat and said, "After walking such a long way, I am dying of thirst, old monk. My friend, please come and quench your thirst with two cups of tea."

"A cup must be completely boiled, with all the tea leaves in the cup rising to the top, and not a single tea leaf curled up or sinking in the cup."

"The other cup should be completely cold, and all the tea leaves in the cup should sink to the bottom, and no one should rise up..." Jiu Mie said, glanced sideways at Lu Heng, and said, "Why don't you brew it quickly? Could it be that the old monk wore it? Damn, you don’t even have the qualifications to ask for two cups of tea?”

Lu Heng glared at him and said, "You guys are here to entertain me... If you want to drink, you can pour it yourself. If you talk more, I will drag you out and serve you with sticks."

Jiu Mie laughed and said, "You can brew it yourself. My friend, just don't think I drink too much."

After saying that, Jiu Mie directly raised the teapot and poured it into the cup. A full pot of hot tea was poured into the small teacup. The tea was flowing continuously without any spillage.

Finally, the entire pot of tea was empty, and the water level in the tea cup in Jiu Mie's hand was only one-third full.

Holding up this cup of tea that seemed to be very little, Jiu Mie shook his head and said: "Stingy and stingy, not even giving me a cup of tea... ugh... the wolf god of Hanyu Mountain is stingy!"

After saying that, the old monk raised his cup of hot tea and drank it in one gulp.

But he drank up the full pot of Arctic Sky Ice.

Seeing this situation, Lu Heng couldn't help but put his forehead on his hands and said helplessly: "I haven't seen you for nine years, my friend, you are a little thicker-skinned, which is really admirable. If everyone in the world was as thick-skinned as my friend, they wouldn't have to worry about the catastrophes of the world. After all, If everyone cultivates face, only relying on face to defend against enemies will be invincible and immune to all calamities."

Jiu Mie put down the tea cup with a smile and said with a smile: "To each other, no matter how thick-skinned you are, my friend, you are no less generous, hahahahaha..."
