Volume Four, Three Southern Counties, Chapter 472, Changshui County’s Past
"Tell you, my daughter was going to marry a big shot!" Aunt Zhao shouted, "Do you know who lives across the door? His name is Lu Jiuzhang, and he now occupies the territory of several counties!"
"With hundreds of thousands and millions of people under his command, it is said that the sky will collapse and the earth will collapse, and mountains will be moved to fill the sea."
"A meal out costs tens of thousands of taels!"
"You're a pig butcher, so what's the comparison?"
"..."
It's easy to change a country, but it's hard to change one's nature!
Lu Jiuzhang smiled and stretched out his finger. Time in the room seemed to have stopped.
Aunt Zhao's mouth opened wide, but no words came out, and her movements stopped.
Next to her, Zhao Chaner, who was pregnant with her belly, was sewing clothes, her embroidery needle was raised in the air, and she did not make any further movements.
In the whole room, only the butcher can move.
This scene frightened the butcher. When he was about to get up and take a look at the situation, he found a man walking towards him.
The man patted the butcher on the shoulder.
"Life is like this sometimes!" the man laughed.
"You...you are?"
The butcher said in surprise.
"My name is Lu Jiuzhang, you should have heard of me." Lu Jiuzhang smiled.
"Of course I have heard that you are the most powerful person in the history of our Changshui County. The people of our Changshui County even built a temple for you, right in the east of the city, and worshiped you as a god!"
The butcher said excitedly.
In the minds of people in Changshui County, Lu Jiuzhang is a real god.
"Hahaha, I'm not dead yet, so build me an ancestral hall." Lu Jiuzhang couldn't help but look at the butcher in front of him, "Take good care of Zhao Chan'er, I treat her like a sister."
"You guys are getting married, and I didn't give you any gifts!"
"This is five hundred taels of silver, which is enough for you to live a good life."
"Five hundred taels of silver is insignificant to me. Five thousand taels, fifty thousand taels or even five hundred thousand taels of silver are not worth mentioning to me. But too much silver is not a good thing for you."
"Everyone is not guilty of carrying a jade, but if you have too much money, I'm sure someone will be jealous and kill you instead!"
"It's only five hundred taels, which is enough for you to live easily in Changshui County and not have to worry about money for half your life."
Lu Jiuzhang said.
"Thank you Lu Shenxian!" The butcher knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Okay, don't be so polite. Remember, treat my sister well." Lu Jiuzhang said, "As for Aunt Zhao, her character is hard to change. Sometimes, you don't have to accommodate her, just live your own life!"
After that, Lu Jiuzhang left.
The butcher was about to speak, but when he saw that his mother-in-law, Aunt Zhao, could move, she began to curse again, "You are useless all the time. Selling pork would have been good, but that old man at the west end of the city is half dead, and he came to you to take credit."
You actually agreed to buy pork!"
"Does that old immortal have money to give you? I gave him credit this time. What will you do if the old immortal comes to give you credit next time?"
The butcher turned a deaf ear and reached into his arms with his right hand. There was a bag of silver, a total of five hundred taels.
The silver was warm, as if to prove that what just happened was not a dream.
The butcher looked out the window. The small courtyard was Lu Jiuzhang's residence.
This has spread throughout Changshui County.
Many people in Changshui County have nothing to do, so they still burn incense at the entrance of their small courtyard as a way of worshiping gods.
"What are you doing outside the door?"
Zhao Chaner asked.
"nothing!"
The butcher smiled bitterly, recalling what Lu Jiuzhang had just said.
He originally wanted to tell Zhao Chan'er, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't notify the two of them when Lu Jiuzhang came, and only let himself see it.
Maybe Lu Shenxian didn't really want to see these two people.
…
Outside the city, Lu Jiuzhang led everyone to his eldest brother's grave.
Lu Jiuzhang kowtowed and burned a few sticks of incense.
Things here are really settled.
Then, Lu Jiuzhang took people to the first ruins, which was on the border of Changshui County.
Lu Jiuzhang arrived and stepped into the black mist ruins.
"Eat it..."
A voice came, and a vine was seen lashing towards everyone.
The huge vines carried terrifying power, as if one blow could knock everyone out of their wits.
Lu Jiuzhang withdrew one hand and pushed the vine out with great force.
"Senior, I'm here!"
Lu Jiuzhang said in a deep voice.
The black fog gradually dissipated, and a giant tree covering the sky appeared in front of everyone.
The trunk of the tree is as thick as several houses, and the crown of the tree is as big as half of Changshui County.
"Has it been decades?"
Dashu looked at everyone and said, "You are finally back!"
"How can it be that long? About three or four years have passed." Heizi said, "I still remember clearly when I left here!"
"Well..." Dashu was silent. It was really incredible that he had grown to such an extent in just three or four years.
"Let's leave together."
The uncle said, "I'm tired of being trapped here for thousands of years!"
This small world is too small. Compared with the world outside, it is just like a small puddle.
"Your roots are here, how do you get out?" Lu Jiuzhang was puzzled.
"I created an incarnation outside my body, which has the combat power of the second level of the Demon Dao. I will follow you from now on. This avatar is equivalent to me."
The uncle said.
"Can!"
Lu Jiuzhang nodded.
Then, everyone came to Lijian Villa.
Lu Jiuzhang met Zhong Zhengming again, the former director of the Demon Slaying Department of Changshui County.
He was at the seventh level of martial arts at the beginning, but now he is only at the peak of the sixth level of martial arts.
After detecting the terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations in Lu Jiuzhang's body, Zhong Zhengming felt a little incredible, "Terrible!"
"You have become so diligent over a period of time."
"It seems that experience in the outside world is very effective in people's growth. On the contrary, staying here makes people become limited."
Zhong Zhengming said slowly.
That day, he was forced in.
The ancestor died and the family was destroyed overnight.
In desperation, he hid in the ruins.
At that time, Lu Jiuzhang was only at the ninth level of martial arts, but now he has entered the ranks of strong men and has become a being that everyone respects.
"Go out. The outside world is in chaos now, but it's a good thing. No one will pursue your identity as a Zhong family anymore." Lu Jiuzhang said, "As well as Lijian Villa and the people left behind from the Flame Sect, they can all go out!"
"This place will no longer limit you!"
"The outside world will be a vast world!"
Lu Jiuzhang laughed.
Let Sheriff Fang take him to the county town first, while Lu Jiuzhang himself, Heizi and Bai Xiaosu went to another place.
There is a different meaning to Lu Jiuzhang!
Using his magical power, Lu Jiuzhang came to a small village.
