In the current situation, he could only take one step at a time.
While thinking, Jianglu whispered to Lou Hongzhi, “This Senior has a great background. Living in seclusion at the foot of such a remote Mount Taiyin, he must have his own plans.”
“Moreover, from the fact that his subordinates do everything for him, he must not want outsiders to disturb his peaceful life.”
“Since this Senior wants to live a mortal life, just follow his style and treat him as a mortal. You must not reveal the fact that he is not a mortal.”
“Brother Lou, you must pay special attention. You must not offend that Senior verbally. The Young Master of the Li family in the Southern Territory is a good example.”
Lou Hongzhi frowned and asked in a single-minded manner, “Do you think that Senior is a mortal? Then how can I ask him for advice on the way of the sword?”
Jianglu scolded jokingly, “Brother Lou, I don’t know what to say about you. You are obsessed with the way of the sword, so you should learn some human affairs.”
“Brother Jiang, don’t make fun of me. I did put all my energy into swordsmanship before, and didn’t pay attention to these details of the world. Please tell me clearly what I should do to learn the sword from Senior.”
Jianglu blurted out:
“It’s very simple. As long as you find an excuse to stay by that Senior’s side, even if you don’t do anything, just feeling the Daoist connotation that can be found everywhere in that Senior’s courtyard is enough to raise your swordsmanship realm. If you want to learn Senior’s swordsmanship, you can say that you want to learn calligraphy from him. You have also seen that Senior’s calligraphy. The sea embraces all rivers. Not only does it have Sword Intent, but it also has the way of chess.”
“There must be other Great Daos, but we just can’t discover them. That Senior’s Great Dao is all integrated into his calligraphy. Even if you learn just a little bit of that Senior’s calligraphy, it is enough for you to advance to the Tribulation Transcension realm. If you are lucky enough to see senior use a sword, you will be even luckier. If you can not see Senior use a sword, you can not force him. It all depends on fate. You must remember, if you ask this kind of peerless expert for advice, you can only follow his wishes. You can not disobey him.”
Lou Hongzhi was dumbstruck.
His Master actually didn’t say anything to him about the principles of life and work.
But it was normal. His Master was also a sword cultivator and spent his entire life on the way of the sword.
But now, it looked like it was the opposite.
Besides practicing the sword, he still had to learn some basic things.
Lou Hongzhi nodded in agreement.
“Brother Jiang is right. Thank you.”
After a while, the Senior’s voice came from the courtyard again.
“I have already asked Hongye to enter the house to avoid suspicion. You don’t have to be formal. Just come in.”
When Jianglu and Lou Hongzhi heard Liu Changgong’s voice, they understood that they could not drag it out any longer.
The two of them made up their minds and braced themselves to enter the door.
The moment Jianglu entered the door, he saw that there were already tables and chairs set up in the courtyard.
And Senior Liu was looking at them with a smile.
Jianglu took a deep breath and said the words that he had prepared for a long time:
“Senior, we are…”
But before Jianglu could finish speaking, Lou Hongzhi, who was beside him, spoke in an extremely serious tone:
“Senior, I want to learn how to write from you!”
Jianglu looked at Lou Hongzhi’s stunned expression, and then at Liu Changgong’s stunned expression.
Jianglu had the urge to cover his face and cry.
He was so embarrassed that he wished he could find a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
F*ck, what kind of stupid teammate was this?
He had repeatedly warned Lou Hongzhi not to be rash, but Lou Hongzhi still spoke impatiently in the end.
Shouldn’t a request be made after exchanging greetings with the Senior, and then after sending some gifts to show his sincerity, and then pretend to be embarrassed and make a request?
As a Junior, how could he have the right to directly ask the Senior?
Jianglu really wanted to say that he didn’t know that fool at all.
Jianglu instantly cursed Lou Hongzhi a million times in his heart.
However, out of friendship, he decided to take a gamble, betting that the Senior wouldn’t stoop to Lou Hongzhi’s level, so he still explained:
“Senior, I’m very sorry, this friend of mine speaks more directly.”
“We were fortunate enough to see Senior’s masterpiece in Startling Rainbow Valley, so we specially came to visit Senior. Because we left in a hurry, we didn’t prepare any gifts…”
“Senior, I’ll be frank. Junior wants to learn chess from Senior.”
Liu Changgong suddenly came to a realization. He glanced at the two of them and said with a smile, “You don’t have to be so polite. I know who you are, and I know what you think. Sit down first. I’ll go get tea, and you can stay here and rest for a while.”
Liu Changgong thought to himself that the person who had seen his poem must be Yu Hongye, a fanatic at the calligraphy and painting fair. He was very surprised when he saw his calligraphy, so he came here because of his reputation. ‘I reckon the few treasures that Yu Hongye won back also have their share.’
Jianglu secretly glared at Lou Hongzhi, wanting him to understand that he had said the wrong thing.
Seriously, Lou Hongzhi, this idiot, had said that he would pretend to be passing by. In the end, he exposed his true purpose the moment he opened his mouth.
However, judging from Senior Liu’s reaction, it seemed that Senior Liu had already expected this matter, and he did not lower himself to the level of the two young cultivators.
Now, he only hoped that the Lord would not be dissatisfied with their rashness.
Sitting on the chair full of apprehension, Jianglu’s expression suddenly changed slightly.
He felt that the reaction of his compass had reached its limit.
Jianglu looked toward the inner hall. The Sun and Moon Chessboard was placed inside.
He was very excited. He had finally seen the celestial artifact, the Sun and Moon Chessboard.
But soon, he was even more surprised.
The last time he visited Senior Liu, the door of the inner hall was tightly shut. He did not look at the scenery in the inner hall.
This time, he saw it clearly.
The items in the inner hall were all supreme immortal items.
Jianglu was shocked.
The supreme immortal items that were hard to find in the Immortal World were actually everywhere in Senior Liu’s inner hall?
Could it be that the supreme immortal items were not valuable and were directly distributed?
Looking at the layout of the inner hall, it seemed that there was no protection at all. They didn’t treat the supreme immortal items as supreme immortal items at all.
Lou Hongzhi quietly leaned his head over and whispered to Jianglu:
“How is it? Have you found the Sun and Moon Chessboard that your sect leader wants you to find?”
Jianglu’s mouth pointed towards the direction of the inner hall.
“Here, it’s on the table in the middle of the inner hall. Let me remind you, this reckless ghost, that the room is full of supreme immortal items. If you see it, don’t be rash and call it out.”
“What? Senior is really amazing! He even has immortal artifacts. No wonder Senior can write such shocking words,” Lou Hongzhi cried out in a low voice.
Lou Hongzhi knew that he would lose control when he saw those immortal artifacts, so he sealed his mouth with spiritual power beforehand.
Then, Lou Hongzhi turned his gaze to the direction of the inner hall.
His reaction was much more intense than Jianglu’s.
Fortunately, he had the foresight to seal his mouth beforehand.
Otherwise, he would definitely have let out a pig’s cry at this moment.
Because he had sealed his mouth, his face had turned the color of a pig’s liver.
Lou Hongzhi’s heart was surging at this moment.
He saw a few swords, all immortal swords!
