Heavenly Locust Emperor

Chapter 20: Brother and Sister

Another stone room.

Cao mistakenly saw Lu Jingnan and Lu Qian practicing stone kung fu.

Cao Cuo repaired Lu Jingnan's meridians with a strand of blood from the crimson palace that can live and die.

But the other party has already consumed too much vitality by the stone medicine, and his beard is white at this time. If there is no elixir to hang his life, he would have died a long time ago.

After receiving the salute from the two, Cao Cuo thought for a moment and asked:

"I have studied the stone kung fu practiced by you for a few days. It is too overbearing. The practitioners are overdrawing their lifespan in order to achieve the purpose of cultivating inner strength. Not to mention that no one has lived past the forty-year-old limit, and it is considered a blessing to live past the age of 35. The edge is deep."

Lu Qian wryly smiled and said: "Reporting to the Lord, Shi Gong will become extremely violent after the age of 35, and many seniors of the Stone League will explode and die after the age of 35. If it is not for a better life, who would want to practice this An evil technique!"

Although Lu Jingnan hated Lu Qian's behavior, he also agreed with what he said, and said with a gloomy expression:

"Master Huixian, there are hundreds of thousands of miners in the mines of Caishiyuan. Most of them who don't practice stone kung fu will not survive to adulthood. We mortals practice this short-lived kung fu just to live a few more years."

The immortal world is ruthless, the world is ruthless, and all living beings suffer.

Cao Cuo took out two black pills from his bosom, which were ordinary blood-enriching medicinal mud wrapped in green locusts, just to make it look less ugly.

"I have two Gu pills here, each of you can swallow one, and I will teach you a technique of raising Gu, so that your vitality can be connected with the Gu insects, which will greatly improve your strength and also make you feel better." You maintain the fullness of your physical body until you are 40 years old."

Cao made a mistake and said solemnly:

"However, after taking the Gu pill, life and death are in my hands. Whether you accept it or not, you decide for yourself."

The hearts of the two of them trembled, can't they live and die independently?

"I'll come first!"

After thinking for a moment, Lu Jingnan made a decision. He was running out of time, and if he didn't take the Gu Pill, he wouldn't be able to live long, so he simply stepped forward and took a Gu Pill.

Life and death can not be independent?I didn't have much choice.

Swallowing it in one gulp, the Gu Dan is so bitter.

Not long after entering the abdomen, the effect of the medicine appeared, Lu Jingnan's dantian became hot, and his own energy began to flourish.

"Is the Gu worm replenishing my vitality?" Lu Jingnan asked in surprise.

This Gu pill actually takes effect so quickly?If there is no side effect of involuntary life and death, it can be called a magic medicine. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Immortal Master, for giving me the medicine."

"Don't be too polite."

After Cao Cuo replied, he turned his head to look at Lu Qian, and smiled without saying a word.

"I also accept..."

Lu Qian was so scared that he didn't dare to hesitate any longer. He also took the elixir, closed his eyes, and swallowed it in one gulp!

bitter!What a fucking pain!This is the bitterest taste in the world.

From then on, life and death are in the hands of others.

If there was no one else here, Lu Qian might cry. This young monk was not as polite to him as he was to the two of the Lu family. If he didn't take the medicine, he would really die.

It was seen that both of them had taken the elixir.

Cao Cuo then gave each of them a copy of the abridged natal Gu practice method, pointing out the key points one by one.

After answering their questions, he turned and left.

"Practice hard, one month later, we will go to fetch the jade tablet together..."

...

A month later.

Caishi Yuan, Wanshi City.

The city wall is five feet high and more than 36 miles long. It is the most powerful city on the quarry plain.

It has a history of more than 4000 years. The ancestors of Shimeng saw that dragons and tigers are here, and the rivers and mountains are beautiful. It took more than 30 years to send [-] mortals, and the continuous construction of three generations has brought it to the current scale.

The resident population has grown from tens of thousands at the beginning to more than [-]

There are about [-] warriors who practice stone kung fu in the city, who undertake the task of managing and resisting wild monsters, and are allowed to own private property.

The remaining [-] people are hard-working people who have no chance to practice stone kung fu. They are engaged in the most menial jobs, and cannot guarantee food and clothing...

Wanfu Building in the city, in the private room on the top floor.

The window here faces the main hall of Shimeng.

Cao Cuo was drinking and talking with Lu Jingnan and Lu Qian inside.

All three of them had their faces changed.

Downstairs in Wanfu, a clerk covered his mouth and nose, and cursed:

"Get lost! You two stinky beggars, are you here to add to your bad luck?"

"My lord, please do me a favor. Our brothers and sisters haven't eaten for several days, so please give me a bite!"

A little beggar took two steps back while talking, as if he was afraid that the smell on his body would infect him.

The little beggar was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, wearing rough clothes and ragged clothes, skinny as a stick, carrying a big bamboo basket, and inside the basket was a thinner, sickly-looking little girl who looked only four or five years old.

The guy was physically strong and said impatiently:

"Get out! Wanshi City is full of lowly poor people like you. As soon as I show kindness, don't they all come to me? If you don't get out, I'll break your legs!"

"Wuwu, don't...don't hit my brother! Niuniu doesn't want to eat." The little girl was frightened and cried, and her crying was weak.

"Brother, let's go, Niuniu is not hungry."

"My lord, please do me a favor! My sister is starving to death."

The boy put down the basket on his back, knelt down suddenly, and kowtowed desperately.

"court death!"

The guy was sullen, and he was about to step forward and kick the boy's leg off.

call out!A chopstick flew from upstairs and stuck straight at the man's feet.

Cao upstairs made a mistake: "Dude, I'll treat their brothers and sisters to dinner."

The guy downstairs didn't dare to move, and resentfully withdrew his other foot in mid-air, and put on a flattering expression to flatter the upstairs.

I don't know if he just increased the volume on purpose to let the people upstairs hear him.

Lu Jingnan brought a large bowl of food downstairs and handed it to the young man. The young man took the food with an excited expression on his face, thanked him repeatedly, and kowtowed to the upstairs to express his gratitude...

Back upstairs, Lu Jingnan said emotionally:

"The poor people in Wanshi City live like livestock, it's too hard."

Lu Qian said calmly: "In this world, the strong make the rules, and the weak have no right to choose."

Cao Cuo didn't speak, and drank silently.

In the past few days, I have seen too many tragedies, and my heart has long been as hard as a stone.

Lu Jingnan questioned: "Lu Qian, we have been here for three days, why can't Shimeng enter lightly? Are you deliberately delaying the business?"

Lu Qian retorted: "Don't wrong me, the immortal masters stationed in the alliance are all fresh faces, and the patrolling disciples have also been replaced. It is obvious that there has been a change, of course we can't take it lightly..."

As soon as the three of them arrived in Wanshi City, Lu Qian felt that something was wrong. Before he joined Cao Cuo, he was a confidant of Ye Tingshan, the leader of the alliance, and he was familiar with most of the high-level officials in the city. test stranger.

Wanfu Building was originally a gathering place for all kinds of information in the city. Now that the Stone League has undergone such a big change, there is no unusual news in the building.

This is the biggest anomaly.

Lu Qian analyzed: "There must have been a big change in the league. Several immortal masters and high-level leaders in the league have been replaced without notice. The current general altar must not be taken lightly. If you want to take the jade tablet..."

Lu Qian searched for the information in his mind, pondered hard, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and blurted out:

"Ye Tinghai!"

"I remember."

"Immortal Master, Ye Tinghai is the younger brother of the leader Ye Tingshan, and the next leader of the Stone League. He borrowed the jade tablet from the secret vault a year ago, and the tablet may still be in his hands."
