Volume 1 The Boys Meet in Weishi Chapter 52 The City Lord's Summoning
When things happened outside the city, things didn't stop inside the city either.
It turns out that when the people of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect in Tianmen Town set out to pick up their own sect, they happened to see people from the Monster Clan coming out. The people of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, who were usually cautious, wanted to vomit because of someone's support.
With the depression in his heart, he did not continue to tolerate and avoid the cynicism and ridicule of the demon clan people. It was originally just a trivial matter, but unexpectedly it triggered years of conflict between the two, which evolved from verbal conflicts to physical conflicts.
fight.
After the Lord of the City knew about this, he immediately sent troops from Tianmen Town to intervene. After settling the fight in the city, he unexpectedly heard that the Ten Thousand Beast Sect outside the city was also causing trouble, and he immediately didn't want to give them any face.
, and directly sent the army to take all the members of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect to prison.
Originally they wanted to resist, but they didn't expect that the city lord, who had always been unshowy, came out and beat their leader to the ground. Now everyone knew that not only was Tianmen Town hiding dragons and crouching tigers, but even the city lord was hiding it.
Lu, judging from his actions, he was able to knock down the leader of a sect so lightly, which only shows that the opponent's strength is above the Fusion Dao Realm.
Moreover, the city lord not only crushed them with strength, but also directly copied the decree made by the five deities. As soon as the decree came out, the color of the world changed, and everyone in Tianmen Town felt a kind of oppression.
When the five deities first formulated the decree, they made it clear that outsiders were not allowed to fight in Tianmen Town. Anyone who violated the decree would be directly suppressed by this decree.
But when this decree was promulgated, people would respect it at first, but as time went by, no one paid attention to it. Originally, the city lord didn't know how to ask for it.
This decree was issued, but after these two battles, he finally had a legitimate reason to ask for it.
From that day on, a decree hung in the sky in Tianmen Town. Fortunately, the restless thoughts in everyone's hearts were completely settled.
It was also from that time that everyone knew that the legal decrees established by the five deities were the true words of the great road, and they had the purpose of following the law, which should not be ignored by casual people.
After Li Yu returned from outside the city, he roughly told Taoist Lin what had just happened. The Taoist was feeding the two fishes. Li Yu took the fish food from the Taoist's hand and listened to the Taoist say, "This matter
He will thank you. He has probably wanted to ask for a decree for a long time, but he has never found a suitable opportunity. What he lacks is an opportunity. Now that you have given him the opportunity, he must seize the opportunity to rectify it.
"
Since the last time Lin Taoist brought the two fish back, they have been keeping them in the pond in the courtyard. Originally, according to the past, when Li Yu came back from the beach, it would be the time for him to feed the yin and yang fish, but what happened unexpectedly today?
In the event of an accident, the two fish are masters that cannot be ignored. If they don't go as they wish, they will cause trouble in the temple. In this case, the Taoist can only take over the task of feeding.
The Taoist transferred his spiritual energy into Li Yu's body and smoothed out the excess spiritual energy in his body. Li Yu said, "Then what is the attitude of the Lord of the City?"
"It's actually not easy for him. Nowadays, Tianmen Town is dominated by various forces. It's a mixed bag. If you're not careful, all forces will be in trouble early. He can only find opportunities to give them a blow at the very beginning."
The Taoist explained it to Li Yu.
Li Yu then asked, "Why can't Tianmen Town have a law against fighting?"
The Taoist smiled and said, "Didn't you notice? There have never been practitioners in Tianmen Town looking for trouble here."
Li Yu replied, "But today they provoked me."
The Taoist said helplessly, "Times have changed and people's affairs have changed. How many people will regard the things that the immortals and sages repeatedly issued as golden rules and standards?"
"But you still haven't said why Tianmen Town can't have a law against fighting!"
The Taoist rolled his eyes at him and said, "There are so many reasons. If you don't let me, you won't let me. I also want to know why Tianmen exists!"
After saying that, he strode back to the room. Li Yu looked at the master's handsome back, and a bright light flashed in his heart, but before he could catch it, he was interrupted by a page outside the door.
.
"Excuse me, is Brother Li here?"
Li Yu put down the fish food in his hand, got up and went out to check, and found that it was someone sent by the City Lord's Palace. The person sent by the City Lord's Palace was also an old acquaintance of Li Yu. In the past few years, Li Yu entered with the token given by the City Lord.
Most of the time when the government was copying books and reading, he would lead the way in.
Li Yuxiao asked, "It's Guard Jin, what's the matter?"
Jin Huwei is the close bodyguard of the City Lord. Li Yu didn't know it at first, but as he went to the City Lord's Mansion more often, he also knew that Jin Huwei's status in the City Lord's Mansion was not low. He had been able to live in Tianmen Town all these years.
He was like a fish in water. In addition to his own strength, it must be said that the Lord of the City also gave him a little blessing.
From the first time he arranged for the golden guards to escort Li Yu home, all those who were snooping and curious about Li Yu, in addition to being wary of Lin Taoist's strength, the city lord's personal attention to him also successfully helped him solve unnecessary problems.
Trouble.
Although, no one knows why the city lord would care about Li Yu personally.
Jin Huwei said, "Brother Li, the Lord of the City wants to see you."
Li Yu couldn't help but wonder in his heart, "Isn't it true that the master said it right? Are you going to thank me so soon?"
After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Are you going to meet me alone, or will Brother Zhou Ce also go?"
Guard Jin continued, "Brother Zhou Ce has gone ahead, and the city lord has sent me to pick you up."
Li Yuben wanted to ask something more, but the Taoist's words came from the inner hall, "If the city wants you to go, you can go. Just go early and come back early."
When Jin Huwei heard what the Taoist said, he couldn't help but hold back a smile. Li Yu had nothing to be embarrassed about. He shrugged, smiled helplessly at Jin Huwei, and then turned to the Taoist in the inner sect and said, "Master, disciple
We just went out, we should have lunch at the City Lord’s Mansion, you can take care of your own lunch!”
After saying that, without listening to the Taoist's somewhat cursing and roaring words, he followed Jin Weiwei into the car and left.
Both master and disciple are such people, and only they can cure each other.
After entering the City Lord's Mansion, Li Yu was taken directly to the study room of the City Lord's Mansion. Li Yu had been to this place many times. When he entered, he found that Zhou Ce was writing something on a slip of paper next to the City Lord's Mansion.
, he was already used to it.
I don’t know since when, Zhou Ce came to the City Lord’s Mansion more and more often, but most of the time he spent in the study room of the City Lord’s Mansion copying newspapers. This led to the fact that although they were the only two people in Tianmen Town who could enter the City Lord’s Mansion.
The two of them were actually not very familiar with each other as a reader.
Originally, Li Yu wanted to take Shen Xun to copy books, or directly give Shen Xun the right to freely enter and exit the city lord's library. After all, for Li Yu, he really didn't want to learn the principles in the books. He just wanted to follow the instructions of his master. He ordered me to read the 3,600 Taoist scriptures thoroughly.
After hearing his request, the Lord of the City did not directly express whether he agreed or not. He only asked Li Yu to go to the library and read it first. After hearing what the Lord of the City said, Li Yu first looked at the books there and found that the books in the Lord's Mansion were actually large. Some of them are Taoist scriptures, but the difference is that later generations have different annotations on the Taoist scriptures. At this time, Li Yuke completely lost his mind. No wonder Zhou Ce and Shen Xun are so good, but they have never taken Shen Xun there. Just because Shen Xun doesn't like reading Taoist scriptures.
They all know that Shen Xun is a thorough scholar. He only loves the Confucian principles in books, or the mountains and rivers of the world.
Although the library in the City Lord's Mansion contains later generations' interpretations of the Taoism, not the original version of the Taoism, it still inspired Li Yu a lot. He originally read it a hundred times, and its meaning emerged. But after reading the commentaries, his understanding of the Taoism became clear. His understanding became more and more broad, and he was often able to draw inferences from one instance to another and draw parallels. In the past seven years, he had already read all the Taoist scriptures in the City Lord's Mansion.
When the city lord saw him coming, he put down the pen in his hand and said with a smile, "You haven't been here for a long time."
Li Yu stepped forward and saluted and said, "Master has assigned me some tasks recently. I don't dare to slack off in my cultivation, so I come less. I wonder what the Lord of the City wants from me?"
The city lord looked at him for a few times and said with great appreciation, "Yes, he has such a level of cultivation at such a young age. I'm afraid he will become a Taoist in a few years."
Li Yu knew that the other party was not talking about him, but the Dragon Spirit in his body. Indeed, after seven years of hard work, Dragon Spirit's Dragon Ball was about to be completed, and Dragon Spirit himself was about to cross the ten realms and reach the threshold of entry.
The city lord, like others, thought that Li Yu was half-dragon. Over the years, he would occasionally give him some advice on how to practice cultivation during their meetings, and Li Yu kept these in mind.
"Thanks to the Lord City Lord, I have never forgotten the many times you took care of me in the past. If there is anything I can do to help Lord City Lord, I will do my best to help." Li Yu said modestly.
After hearing this, the city lord brushed his beard and said, "You, you, you are just like your master, you are slippery. His slippery way is making jokes and acting bad. Your slippery way is making sure your words are impeccable. I don't know how you get along with each other. .”
This can't be blamed on Li Yu. In fact, every time he met the city lord, Li Yu's first instinct was that he was hiding something secretly and always seemed to want something else from him. He told the master about it, and the master only told him Just let him do what he wants and don't worry too much.
Therefore, every time he met the city lord, Li Yu always had to be wary of whether the other party wanted to sell him, so he could only speak carefully and not make any mistakes.
The two sides tested each other several times, and the competition was to see who could resist it first. Unexpectedly, after several tests, Li Yu didn't reveal anything. He kept saying the same words over and over again, and judging from his expression, , he really didn't care, he answered all questions honestly, and picked up the teacup to take a sip from time to time.
Zhou Ce wanted to laugh when he saw them like this, but he actually admired Li Yu a little, because he couldn't do this. He could hide things so well and have such good patience.
