The sky is cloudless and blue.
A flying boat slowly flew from the sky and landed outside Ruyi County.
Lu Changsheng took out the messenger charm and sent a message to Hong Yi and Li Feiyu.
About a quarter of an hour later.
Hong Yi and Li Feiyu came out of the city.
"Brother Hong, Feiyu."
Lu Changsheng greeted the two of them.
Then Hong Yi was introduced to Qu Zhenzhen and the children.
After a brief introduction and greetings, Lu Changsheng asked Qu Zhenzhen to take a few children into the city on a carriage.
"Changsheng, I heard from Brother Hong that the Lu family destroyed Hongye Valley?"
At this time, Li Feiyu looked at Lu Changsheng and asked.
He has been paying attention to the affairs of Qingzhu Mountain and Hongye Valley.
Now that it has been so long, news about the Lu family and the Chen family has been found.
When he learned that the Lu family had destroyed the Chen family in Hongye Valley, he was extremely surprised and didn't know what was going on.
"That's right."
Lu Changsheng nodded.
There was no hiding it either.
Tell the general story about the Lu family and Chen family.
At the same time, he asked Li Feiyu what his future plans were.
Are you prepared to continue living in the secular world, or return to Qingzhu Mountain?
He could see that Li Feiyu was still at the fourth level of Qi refining.
In the secular world, even with the small spirit gathering array he arranged, it would be very difficult to practice.
It is completely inferior to practicing in a spiritual place like Qingzhu Mountain.
"No, the child is much older now and is taken care of by my parents. After this year, I plan to try my luck in the world of immortality to see if there is any chance."
Li Feiyu said this.
He never gave up on cultivating immortality.
Knowing my current situation, if I don't take a chance and give it a try, let alone building a foundation, I won't be able to reach the later stages of Qi refining in this life.
"After Hongye Valley is destroyed, the Lu family, Bai family, Yu family, and Zheng family will build Hongye Valley into a city."
"With 10% of the city's total, everything will be renovated. It's a good place to go."
Lu Changsheng said.
According to his understanding, Hongyefang City will be built within one or two years.
After the construction is completed, in order to attract casual cultivators and merchants to settle in, the four major families will also provide many favorable policies.
This stage is not bad for casual cultivators.
If Li Feiyu goes to Hongyefang City, he can take care of him.
After all, in his opinion, it would still be too dangerous to really go out and explore the secret realm of the cave.
Completely dead and without life.
But he also knew that for ordinary casual cultivators like Li Feiyu, there was only one way to succeed in cultivating immortals.
"Okay, I'll think about it then."
Li Feiyu nodded after hearing this.
"Hongye Valley is going to establish a city?"
When Hong Yi heard this, he was also a little surprised and saw the business opportunity.
"That's right, if Brother Hong is interested, you can go and have a look when the time comes."
"If you want to buy a store, I can help you connect with them."
Lu Changsheng said to Hong Yi.
Now that his wife, concubines and children have been settled in the secular world and taken care of by the Ruyi Hou Mansion, he is naturally willing to reciprocate the favor.
After Hongyefang City was established, several major families would release some of their shops and residences for sale at low prices.
If Hong Yi wanted, he could ask for a spot from the Lu family.
"Thank you, Brother Lu. I will go back and discuss this matter with my father."
When Hong Yi heard this, his face immediately lit up with joy.
I also know that it is not possible to buy such newly built shop houses in the city if you want to buy them.
Qualifications required.
Unexpectedly, Lu Changsheng actually said that he could build a bridge for him.
This also made him couldn't help but marvel at Lu Changsheng's current status in the Lu family.
Unexpectedly, in just ten years, the farm boy who was once ignored by him would grow to this point step by step.
I am also glad that my mentality changed quickly and I established a good relationship with Lu Changsheng.
"Brother Lu, you asked me to investigate the person behind the murder of my sister-in-law and her family. He is now being held in the dungeon of the Marquis Mansion."
Hong Yi said.
"Okay, I'll trouble Brother Hong about this."
Lu Changsheng glanced at Qu Zhenzhen's carriage and nodded.
He already knew the details of this matter through Hong Yi's previous letter.
As he guessed, this immortal cultivator was a beetle cultivator.
Because he practiced a tonic method, he was worshiped in a small family.
Rely on cultivating women to cultivate, and let people find women with spiritual roots in the world.
So there is also the matter of Qu Zhenzhen.
He brought Qu Zhenzhen over this time to deal with this matter.
"Okay, Brother Lu will come over when the time comes, just send me a message."
"My father has always wanted to get to know you."
Hong Yi nodded and said so.
Immediately, the three of them continued chatting, talking about their current situation and things in the world of immortality.
"By the way, Brother Lu, do you have regular contact with Fellow Daoist Xiao, Fellow Daoist Zhao, and Fellow Daoist Han?"
At this time, Hong Yi asked.
"I have exchanged letters with Han Lin several times, but I have not had any contact with Daoist fellows Xiao and Zhao."
Lu Changsheng shook his head and said.
After the original three-year agreement, they made another ten-year agreement.
But this ten years has been too long after all.
A little friendship back then might not be able to be maintained.
And Lu Changsheng is not the kind of person who likes to deal with people.
So over the years, I have only exchanged letters with Han Lin a few times.
Knowing that the other party became a weapon refiner.
And it was learned that Xiao Xiyue was accepted as a disciple by a real Danjie master.
Later, Lu Changsheng wrote a letter of congratulations to Xiao Xiyue, and the other party simply replied to the letter, and nothing more happened.
"I often exchange letters with the three of them."
Hong Yi said.
His personality is different from Lu Changsheng.
After returning to the secular world, he has been dealing with people.
I have been trying my best to maintain this connection.
Then he told about the current situation of the three people.
Xiao Xiyue was accepted as a disciple by Master Jiedan. She has already broken through the late stage of Qi refining and is expected to build a foundation in the future.
Zhao Qingqing obtained the sixth grade spiritual root and became a pharmacist.
But not long ago, he exchanged letters with Han Lin and learned that Zhao Qingqing had awakened a hidden spiritual body, the body of vegetation.
This kind of spirit has no benefit for spiritual practice, but it is good at cultivating elixirs and performing treatments.
Therefore, Zhao Qingqing was spotted by the elder of the outer sect in charge of the medicine garden and accepted as a disciple.
"Fellow Daoist Han became a weapon refiner, and now Daoist Lu is also a top-grade talisman master. Brother Li and I are the only ones who are still wasting time in the world."
Hong Yi sighed with emotion.
I think back then, among the six of them, he was the one with the best status and family background.
Although he is doing well now, when compared with Lu Changsheng and others, the gap immediately becomes clear.
It's only a few points better than Li Feiyu.
"well."
Li Feiyu on the side sighed slightly and said nothing.
When they made the three-year contract, he became the worst offender among the six.
Now more than seven years have passed and he is still the worst.
And the gap with everyone is getting wider and wider.
This was also the reason why he wanted to try his luck in the world of immortality.
"Feiyu."
Lu Changsheng saw his good brother acting like this and patted his shoulder.
"I'm fine, I just feel a little emotional when I see you guys like this."
Li Feiyu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Now we are only two and a half years away from the ten-year agreement we made."
"I will write to Daoist fellow Xiao and the others in a few days to see if we can get together."
Hong Yi continued.
"I can do either."
Lu Changsheng nodded.
He wanted to maintain this friendship as long as he could.
But don’t force it, choose to let nature take its course.
After all, with the system by his side, he didn't need Hong Yi to be like this.
Li Feiyu also nodded slightly.
Although he has no attachment, he relies on the idea of help from others.
But I also know that maintaining this relationship is good for me.
Just like now, he has good relations with Lu Changsheng and Hong Yi, and has many conveniences in terms of cultivation resources and information.
While the three of them were chatting, the carriage also arrived at the gate of Lu Mansion.
Lu Lanshu, Lu Zi'er, Lu Qing'er, Xia Zhiyue and others were standing at the door of the mansion with a group of children.
Apparently he also knew that Lu Changsheng was coming and was waiting at the door.
"Brother Lu, I have something else to do, so I won't disturb your reunion."
Seeing this, Hong Yi stood up and said goodbye.
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
Lu Changsheng nodded, then looked at his wife, concubines and children.
"Husband, father, Zhenzhen, Aunt Qu!"
All the wives, concubines, and children looked at Lu Changsheng and immediately expressed their joy at seeing him again after a long separation.
Lu Wuyou and Lu Xile rushed over to hug Lu Changsheng.
"Hahahaha, do you miss daddy?"
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng hugged the child, rubbed his head, and smiled on his face.
"think!"
We haven’t seen each other for more than a year, and the children have grown much taller.
It can be seen from his body shape and steps that he already has a certain foundation in martial arts.
Their small improvement in martial arts training also has a bonus for Lu Changsheng.
But this little bonus is too small.
For Lu Changsheng, who practiced the Hundred Refining Treasure Body Art, it was simply insignificant.
"Lanshu, I have been lucky to you these days."
Lu Changsheng looked at the wives and concubines.
"Husband, it's not hard."
The girls shook their heads, their eyes full of tenderness.
"Let's go in first."
Lu Changsheng did not reminisce or chat at the gate.
He patted his eldest son Lu Pingan, who had almost reached his chest, and entered the house with his wife, concubines and children.
There are quite a few changes in Lu Mansion now compared to a year and a half ago.
There are many guards, martial artists, servants, and maids in the mansion.
Lu Lanshu had already given instructions. When these people saw Lu Changsheng, the head of the family, they all bowed respectfully and called "Master, head of the family."
"hehe."
Lu Changsheng couldn't help but chuckle.
I haven't gotten used to this title for a while.
However, in the secular world, it is normal to call someone "Master" after getting married and starting a career.
And twenty-eight is indeed not too young.
After Lu Changsheng settled the children, he accompanied his wife, concubines and children and had a lively reunion dinner.
That night.
"Lanshu, Zi'er, Qing'er, do you want to go back to Qingzhu Mountain?"
Lu Changsheng hugged his wife and concubines and asked.
When I sent my wives and concubines to the secular world, I was on the one hand taking care of the children, and on the other hand I was preparing to run away.
Now that the situation of the Lu family has stabilized, if the three girls want to return to Qingzhu Mountain, he can also take them back to live in Qingzhu Mountain during this trip.
"Husband, we can just stay here with the child."
The three women all shook their heads.
It's not that they don't want to go back to Qingzhu Mountain.
But he also understood that Lu Changsheng was busy with his affairs now, so it would be better to be here than back to Qingzhu Mountain.
Moreover, they also knew that Lu Changsheng would not take the children back again, and they were reluctant to part with them.
"Okay, as long as I have time, I will come back often."
Lu Changsheng said warmly.
He still has a lot of feelings for his first three wives.
As soon as the words fell, he used actions to express his feelings.
the next day.
"Zhenzhen, if you are at home, I can go."
Lu Changsheng looked at Qu Zhenzhen and said.
Although this trip was to bring Qu Zhenzhen to take revenge.
But Qu Zhenzhen usually doesn't dare to kill chickens, so how dare he kill someone for revenge.
Moreover, he could also see that after so many years, Qu Zhenzhen had been forgetting and abandoning the hatred in his heart.
If you see your enemy, it may bring painful memories to your heart.
"Husband."
Qu Zhenzhen looked at Lu Changsheng, pursed her lips, and had firm eyes, obviously wanting to go.
"Then let's go."
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng also held her hand and said nothing.
He brought Qu Zhenzhen to Prince Ruyi's Mansion.
When the housekeeper at the door learned that Lu Changsheng was coming, he immediately went to report it.
Not only Hong Yi came to greet him.
Hong Yi's father, Ruyihou, also came to greet him personally.
This Ruyihou looks to be in his fifties.
But Lu Changsheng knew through Hong Yi that this Ruyihou was already over seventy years old and had more than forty children.
"Seventh level of Qi refining."
Lu Changsheng could tell the cultivation level of this Ruyihou at a glance.
This cultivation strength is enough to be considered a master in the world.
"Spirit Gathering Array, small spiritual land?"
After entering the inner courtyard of the palace, Lu Changsheng immediately sensed that there was a spiritual vein under the inner courtyard of the palace.
Similar to the original Niutoushan, it belongs to an unpopular spiritual vein.
But in the secular world, having such an unpopular spiritual vein is already quite good.
After Lu Changsheng briefly met and chatted with Ruyi Hou, he followed Hong Yi to an underground palace.
"Master Yi."
There were two innate masters guarding the entrance of the underground palace, and they cupped their hands towards Hong Yi.
"Open the door."
Hong Yi said directly.
Entering the underground palace and passing through the tunnel, you can see that this is a dungeon.
There was a damp, moldy smell in the air, imprisoning many people.
"If any martial arts masters or immortal cultivators appear in Ruyi County and cause trouble, the Ruyi Marquis Mansion will send people to deal with them and imprison them here."
"Gongsun Hong is imprisoned in the depths."
Hong Yi explained to Lu Changsheng.
Gongsun Hong was the cultivator behind the murder of Qu Zhenzhen's family.
Lu Changsheng nodded slightly, held Qu Zhenzhen's hand, and followed Hong Yi towards the depths of the dungeon.
Many of the cells on both sides were empty, and some contained prisoners.
He was tied up with a big cross, the iron rope was pierced through the lute bones, the tendons of his hands and hamstrings were severed, and there were shackles and chains wrapped around his limbs and wrists and ankles.
Being able to be imprisoned here means that he is basically very strong.
Not a cultivator, but at least an innate master.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, many prisoners opened their eyes.
Seeing Hong Yi, it was like seeing the enemy who killed his father, with scarlet eyes, gnashing teeth, struggling, and roaring.
Seeing this scene, Qu Zhenzhen felt fearful and hugged Lu Changsheng's arm tightly.
Although she is a cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining, her weak temperament has not changed much.
"fine."
Lu Changsheng held his little wife's hand and comforted her gently.
Not to mention Qu Zhenzhen, even he felt a little uncomfortable with this situation.
After all, he had seen the most tragic scene, which was the killing in Red Leaf Valley.
But it's really not as disgusting as the situation before me.
"Brother Lu, Madam Sister-in-law, this person is Gongsun Hong."
Hong Yi stopped, pointed at a cell door in front of him, and said.
There was an old man in his sixties with gray hair, pale face and purple lips inside.
He was tied with a cross, the iron rope was pierced through his lute bones, his hand tendons and hamstrings were severed, and his limbs were wrapped with shackles and chains around his wrists and ankles. He was dying.
"Gongsun Hong."
Qu Zhenzhen knew that this person was the real culprit behind the murder of his whole family.
There was a surge of hatred and anger in his heart.
But at the same time, I remembered that my parents died because of me, and I felt a sense of sadness in my heart.
"Zhenzhen, let me do it."
Lu Changsheng sighed slightly when he saw his wife like this.
He knew Qu Zhenzhen’s character.
She had long expected that even if the murderer was in front of her, Qu Zhenzhen would only feel sad and at a loss.
It is difficult to feel the anger, hatred and revenge of an enemy, the pleasure and satisfaction.
One is a character issue.
In addition, over the years, the hatred has been covered up a lot.
Qu Zhenzhen nodded with red eyes.
When she entered the dungeon, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Even nausea.
At this time, she really didn't know what to do if she was asked to kill someone to vent her hatred.
"Uh-huh!"
Lu Changsheng snapped his fingers.
A white light sword light burst out, directly ending Gongsun Hong's life and beheading him.
When he first rescued Qu Zhenzhen, he was still worried that the cultivator behind the scenes would come to find him.
But now, more than seven years have passed, killing the opponent is like killing a chicken.
"Uuuuuuuuu, husband."
When Qu Zhenzhen saw Gongsun Hong's death, his whole body trembled, tears left in his eyes, and he hugged Lu Changsheng tightly.
Although there was some joy in revenge in her heart, she was more filled with emptiness and sadness.
Knowing that my parents and family will never come back.
"well."
Lu Changsheng hugged his wife, stroked her hair, and comforted Qu Zhenzhen.
If you don't want to give your wife an explanation.
And the other party insisted on coming, and he was unwilling to bring Qu Zhenzhen to a place like this.
After taking revenge, Lu Changsheng did not stay long.
He put away Gongsun Hong's head, said goodbye to Hong Yi and left.
He took Qu Zhenzhen and rode the Iron Feathered Eagle to Dongyang County and Zhoushan Mansion.
after one day.
The two came to Zhoushan Mansion.
"Dad, mother, wuwuwu——"
Looking at the desolate, dilapidated and overgrown courtyard in front of her, Qu Zhenzhen finally couldn't help crying.
Seeing this scene, Lu Changsheng sighed slightly.
He comforted his beloved wife and set up a tombstone for his deceased father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Then he asked someone to repair the desolate and dilapidated mansion and let him guard it for a long time.
Let Qu Zhenzhen not be so sad and uncomfortable in the future when he comes to pay homage.
At the same time, I also thought that when my uncle who embarked on the path of magic comes back in the future, he will know that his sister is still alive and entrusted to her beloved.
