Chapter 288 Lu Wu

"Here, this one's yours."

After the white-haired youth sat down, Wei Yuan took out another set of bowls and chopsticks and handed them over. The youth looked warm and composed, seemingly very easy to talk to. However, the monster currently following Wei Yuan, originally a subordinate of Taotie, was glanced at by the youth while eating.

The youth frowned.

The gluttonous beast, which had been devouring food, froze.

Then, its movements suddenly became refined.

Using a modern biomimetic mechanical arm to pick up chopsticks, it gracefully took a bite of food and placed it in its mouth. The movements were ethereal, and the atmosphere suddenly became elegant.

Shu: "…………"

Hu: "…………"

"The taste is not bad..."

The youth calmly offered his evaluation.

Wei Yuan didn't feel anything about this comment, nodded, and said, "Indeed, although I've brought a lot of ingredients, I can't replenish many seasonings here, so I have to use them sparingly."

Previously, Wei Yuan had brought back some plant seeds from Kunlun and the Great Wilderness from Chaoge City to the human world.

This had led to rapid advancements in many disciplines and crafts in the human realm.

This resulted in many applications in diet appearing for the first time.

For example, improvements and cultivation in plants and crop varieties, such as the taste of the fruits, their flavor, their nutritional content, and how to make these fruits sweeter and tastier...

Well, you could say it's a racial talent.

The people regard food as their heaven, so there's no problem.

After the white-haired youth finished eating, Wei Yuan used a simple little spell to wash the bowls and put them back into his Qiankun sleeve. The youth sat on a bluestone, his white hair falling down, and said calmly, "You said you wanted to inquire about some news? What kind of news..."

Shu and Hu were shocked.

Wei Yuan thought for a while and said, "The one who currently manages the Garden of Heaven in Kunlun."

The white-haired youth's tone didn't change as he said, "Oh? Lu Wu?"

"What do you want to do with Him?"

He didn't recall the experience of that deep dream at the moment, but was a little puzzled. He had some knowledge of this potter, and there were obvious and fierce conflicts between them. But it was strange that he had come to see him now. Moreover, why was there an inexplicable sense of killing intent in his heart?

It seemed that something that shouldn't have been known had been known...

A strong urge to bury this guy completely.

Preferably to the point where no one in the world could communicate with him.

A complete destruction of humanity.

Wei Yuan was slightly surprised, and then recalled the words of the two Emperors Shu and Hu, saying, "It seems that if we say His name here, He will notice it." He completely failed to notice the sense of despair in the eyes of Shu and Hu.

The white-haired youth said calmly, "Don't worry, Lu Wu's character is such that even if He notices someone talking about Him, He will never eavesdrop secretly. I can guarantee this. What do you say, two old gentlemen?"

Golden pupils indifferently landed on them.

Shu and Hu nodded heartily.

Yes, He won't eavesdrop.

You're already here, you damned soul! Of course, you don't need to eavesdrop!

[Kunlun Venerable, Three Gods Lu Wu, shouldn't He be upright and honorable?]

[He's actually using such a logical loophole?!]

Shu and Hu 'glared' at the white-haired youth.

[This seat obeys the order, it doesn't mean that this seat is a fool who can be deceived.]

The youth's tone was cold.

[Or do you two think that the upright must be bound by the rules and be used by others?]

[Ah, this...]

Shu and Hu didn't know how to refute for a moment.

Golden pupils were indifferent and cold, with a calmness that overlooked the vastness of eternity.

Lu Wu looked at Wei Yuan in front of him and said casually, "However, do you have some conflicts and grudges with Lu Wu? Why would you want to avoid Him when coming to Kunlun?"

Wei Yuan thought for a while, originally wanting to say something casually.

His brow twitched, and the instinct for survival inherited from the Pillar of Heaven reminded him to stop. He paused and proactively concealed the dream, saying:

"There were some conflicts back then... I was originally just a mortal, and later went through thousands of years of reincarnation, step by step to get to where I am now, only then did I have some ability to protect myself. Back then, the qualification for reincarnation was because a goddess fed me an undying flower."

"At that time, Lu Wu wanted to strip away the power of the undying flower from my body."

Wei Yuan stirred the bonfire slightly and was already able to talk about the past in a calm tone.

The white-haired youth said calmly, "Therefore, you harbor resentment and think Lu Wu was wrong?"

"Is that so?"

Shu and Hu gasped.

Their scalps went numb.

They frantically gave Wei Yuan eye signals.

Wei Yuan naturally replied, "Indeed, I was very unhappy."

Shu and Hu: "…………"

It's over. Suddenly, they felt that this kid was definitely a disciple of Buzhou Mountain.

This brain...

The two ancient emperors, who were making eye signals so frantically that their eyeballs almost popped out, sighed to the sky.

This brain just won't turn!

They could already see the indifference in the eyes of the white-haired youth.

Wei Yuan paused and replied:

"However, now I can understand Lu Wu's thoughts back then. Looking back now, in these thousands of years of reincarnation, I may have been on the verge of collapse more than once. If I hadn't been lucky, I might have been driven crazy in one of the reincarnations..."

"Experiencing wars, the deaths of relatives and friends, dying on the road before fulfilling wishes."

"There were too many such things."

"Reincarnation is indeed very bitter."

"Back then, I, and Yu, just hoped that I could live on... even if it was in another way. This is the wish of humans. As for Lu Wu, He judged my future pain from the height of a god. In fact, this is a very complicated issue even now."

Wei Yuan thought of Su Daji and Di Xin's experience and said:

"When relatives and friends are in the terminal stages of serious illnesses."

"Should they endure the pain and struggle to live on?"

"Or should they be given a human death?"

"Some people think that living on, things will always get better one day; others think that the painful struggle itself is a form of torture. As for me, ha... if it wasn't for meeting Confucius and Lao Tzu during my first reincarnation... meeting Zilu and Zigong."

"I probably wouldn't be able to live so carefree in the later days."

"Confucius shaped my character, and Lao Tzu taught me to let go of some obsessions and pains."

Wei Yuan recalled the tall old man, leaning slightly against the tree trunk, with a smile, "But in any case, I think Lu Wu at least made the decision to spare me from this path of reincarnation, not to mention that the undying flower itself belongs to Kunlun."

"How should I put it, Lu Wu is truly a gentle god."

He sincerely sighed.

The white-haired youth: "…………"

Shu and Hu: "…………"

Their tense expressions eased.

They could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

This kid, could he be the kind of person who instinctively seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages?

Wait, isn't that beastly intuition?

The intuition unique to a simpleton?

The white-haired youth was silent, and his tone softened unconsciously, "Is that so? I think that He is sometimes too rigid in character, too stubborn. Although He has maintained order, He has also brought trouble and inconvenience to many people because of this inflexible appearance."

Wei Yuan thought for a while and said, "How should I put it..."

"Although it is true that He has a very bad temper."

"With a poker face that hasn't changed its expression in eight hundred years."

"And He's clumsy with words. Even problems that could be solved with a few words and mutual compromise can end up with them drawing swords and fighting. He's a bit stubborn, like a hard rock."

The white-haired youth's eyes narrowed slightly.

Shu and Hu gasped, feeling a bit of a toothache.

Understood, this guy doesn't have intuition.

But is extremely good at walking back and forth on the line of death.

They took three steps back in unison.

So they wouldn't get splashed with blood later.

Wei Yuan then handed over a skewer of grilled meat, smiling:

"But, perhaps this is necessary..."

"Order, laws, rules, these things are inherently things that cannot be easily changed. If even order and rules are changed at whim, then it would probably bring extreme disaster and chaos."

"Of course, it can't stay the same forever either."

"To be honest, even though I have conflicts with Him, I still think Lu Wu is a very orderly and responsible god. In any case, He doesn't fail to live up to the name of a god."

The white-haired youth looked at the swordsman opposite him, reached out to take the grilled meat, and said concisely:

"Thank you."

He paused, "I will inform Lu Wu."

"Although." He naturally said:

"He might not care about this matter."

No, you clearly care very much!

Shu and Hu shouted in their hearts.

Then they were swept by the youth's cold gaze.

Wei Yuan laughed a few times and said, "My first teacher told me that what a person should do is to follow their nature, remove the stray branches, to maintain the purity of the self, but also to walk on the right path. I think Lu Wu should also be like this."

"The world is complicated, and there should be fewer guys like Kai Ming."

"Lu Wu just needs to be Lu Wu."

"Uphold righteousness, be selfless and upright."

The white-haired youth was slightly stunned, and then laughed, "Lu Wu is originally Lu Wu."

"So why say this."

Wei Yuan said, "Xuanzang would definitely like this sentence, and Yuánjué would be about the same."

"Perhaps."

Lu Wu glanced at Wei Yuan calmly. The deep dream hadn't surged up with time, and as the God of Order, He rarely explored his own heart. After finishing the grilled meat, He casually put down the skewer, flicked his sleeves, and stood up, saying, "Then, since we met by chance, I will take my leave first."

When leaving, Lu Wu paused, thinking of the strange impulse that made Him come here instinctively.

He casually moved his fingers slightly.

A strand of Wei Yuan's hair was cut off and fell into his hand.

And within the scope allowed by [Order], even a Sword Saint, in a lazy state after eating, wouldn't notice a strand of hair being blown away by the wind. Isn't it reasonable? And this strand of wind happened to blow this strand of white hair into His hand, which is also in line with the laws of things.

This was enough to support Lu Wu in performing a divination to see what kind of fate He had with the other party.

He was also very curious and would check it out when He got back.

The youth put the strand of white hair into his palm, clenched his fingers, and carried his hands behind his back.

White hair fell, eyes were light gold, face was cold and handsome, voice was peaceful, saying:

"If fate allows, you can come to my humble abode for a gathering another day."

"Eight hundred and seventy miles east from here, the valley of the mountains, where the flowers bloom is the place."

While whispering, He walked forward step by step, disappearing in a daze.

After the youth left, Wei Yuan said:

"He's really free and easy. Moreover, He must have lived quite frugally in the past. He's probably just a mountain god of a small mountain, right?"

After all, He ate everything very cleanly when eating. These details prove that He had suffered a lot, at least He had been hungry.

Shu and Hu looked at each other.

A mountain god of a small mountain?

Well, Kunlun, the center of the myriad worlds, the pulse of all mountains and rivers.

Where the flowers bloom.

Oh,

The Garden of Heaven, could also be considered a place where flowers bloom...

Although they are all things of the level of undying flowers.

After the youth left, the two of them opened their mouths to say the true identity of that guy, but Lu Wu's strength belonged to the Ten Greats of Heaven and Earth, ranked among the Supreme. These two ancient emperors who had exiled themselves were originally no match for that youth, and they couldn't speak for a moment. Moreover, they always felt that if they said that this guy was Lu Wu, they would be directly wiped out on the spot. They looked at each other.

What to do?

There was no way.

This kid's hair was taken back, and if Lu Wu divined it and there were any grudges, they wouldn't be able to escape.

Then run?

Anyway, run first.

Running first is correct.

"Huh? You two..."

Before Wei Yuan could react, Shu and Hu directly appeared on his side, one on the left and one on the right. The two of them directly picked up Wei Yuan. Wei Yuan's expression was slightly astonished. The two of them exhaled and shouted in unison, "Run!"

"??! Run wh... Holy crap!"

Wei Yuan's voice was directly scattered by the high-speed sound of breaking through the air.

Shu and Hu, as ancient emperors who had been 'chased' by an angry Buzhou Mountain wielding mountains, and were completely fine, their skills were very biased, but there was absolutely no problem with their speed. When used, it was almost comparable to [Carrying Mountains and Crossing Seas].

Mainly, they didn't expect Lu Wu to be so unreasonable.

Otherwise, in front of Lu Wu, they couldn't beat Him, but if they were determined to run, they could still run.

But Lu Wu directly folded the Kunlun space.

A Möbius ring, they couldn't run out of it with speed alone.

They advanced frantically all the way. Wei Yuan personally saw these two old guys, one taking out a chisel and the other taking out a hammer, and directly chiseling a hole in the space, and then taking him directly jumping out of here, and then quickly jumping and teleporting on the spatial phase nodes.

Those who could chisel seven orifices into Hundun naturally had the means.

The ancient central emperors were all chiseled away.

Not to mention the mere space.

And there were no peak powerhouses guarding it.

Shu and Hu thought triumphantly, but then suddenly remembered that when they were hiding everywhere back then, only Hundun was good to them. As a result, they were the ones who harmed Hundun, and they burst into tears on the spot, and actually fell directly from the spatial node, almost falling into the river.

"Cough cough cough... Can you two be a little more reliable..."

Wei Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He looked around and found that they had actually chiseled through the spatial node from Kunlun and arrived in the Great Wilderness area.

Even the distance to Zhongshan Chishui wasn't too far away. This could be considered a stroke of luck.

Wei Yuan recognized the direction and exhaled, saying, "Now that we're here..."

"Let's go see her, Zhu Jiu... no, Xian."

The master of Zhongshan Chishui.

The other half of the dragon that illuminates the nine netherworlds.

The woman in blue—Xian.
