Chapter 428 All Crows Are Black
"What's your name? How old are you?" After leaving Qianyuan Xianzhuang, Ding Huan looked at the little guy in front of him.
"My name is Lu Bushi and I'm eight years old." There was sadness in the little boy's eyes, but he hid it very well, and his answer to Ding Huan's question was very crisp.
Ding Huan was secretly shocked. An eight-year-old kid was actually at the Yuanhun realm. Even if he had more immortal spirits, this talent was terrifying.
He is eight years old and has just entered primary school. People are really not comparable.
"Who is the owner of the manor, Lu Chongdao, to you?"
Lu Bu Si replied: "It's my grandfather."
"Your grandfather was also killed?" Ding Huanxin said. Being able to found a fairy village, it shouldn't be so easy to be killed, right?
Lu Bu Si snorted: "They are dreaming. My grandfather was arrested, so they dared to come to my Qianyuan Xianzhuang to kill my parents."
Although he tried his best to hide his hatred, Lu Bushi was only a few years old after all, and he clenched his fists when he talked about his parents being killed.
"Why was your grandfather arrested?"
……
Fortunately, although Lu Bu Si was young, he already had a complete set of ideas. Ding Huan talked with Lu Bu Si for a long time, and he finally figured out what was going on.
Lu Bushi's grandfather Lu Chongdao is an upright man who does not tolerate any injustice.
It stands to reason that such a person is not suitable to be an official, but he is still an official in the Immortal Court.
The officials in the Immortal Court are just figures in office and usually do not take care of anything, so Lu Chongdao usually lives a carefree life.
Just one year ago, an incident happened in the Immortal Court. Xiu Lun, the husband of Bu Yingyin, the daughter of Bu Yue, the Immortal Prime Minister of the Left Mingsi of the Immortal Court, died suddenly.
Xiu Lun's father, Xiu Xu, the flag-bearing immortal of the Kuishui tribe, filed a complaint with the Emperor Wushang of the Immortal Court, saying that the reason his son Xiu Lun died suddenly was because Buyue's daughter Buyingyin was unfaithful to her husband and colluded with an adulterer to plot against Xiu Lun.
This angered Bu Yue.
It would not be said that Bu Yue was second to none in the Immortal Court, but he was definitely a powerful figure.
Although Xiuxu is also a flag-bearing immortal in the Thirty-Six Divisions, his status is far inferior to Bu Yue.
Emperor Wushang was also very troubled. He could only hand the case over to the Immortal Law Department of the Immortal Court for trial.
Ying Fang, the flag-bearing immortal of the Immortal Law Department, was a cunning person, and he didn't want to offend either side, so he simply said that both his Immortal Law Department and the Kuishui Department were among the thirty-six flag-bearing immortals, and he should avoid suspicion.
As a result, Emperor Wushang asked who was willing to temporarily take over the British position and try the case on his behalf.
Naturally, no one is willing to take on this hot potato.
As a result, someone recommended Lu Chongdao, and Emperor Wushang asked Lu Chongdao to try the case, and this fool Lu Chongdao did not even refuse.
Ding Huan was speechless when he heard this.
How many people will this offend?
The first side to be offended was the British side. The British side was the flag-bearing fairy of the Immortal Law Department, and they even gave such a ridiculous excuse of avoiding suspicion.
You are a guy who holds the law, and you are trying to avoid suspicion and control the law?
The second person to be offended was Bu Yue.
Regardless of whether Bu Yingyin was unfaithful in this matter or not, once you take over the case, you must investigate Bu Yingyin.
Bu Yingyin is Buyue's daughter, how could she be willing to let an official investigate? Wouldn't this be a disgrace to Buyue?
Third, he offended Xiuxu.
After you took over, you couldn't do anything, so Xiuxu was naturally dissatisfied. He thought that you were incompetent but still occupied this position and could not give Xiulun justice.
Look, less than a year after taking over the case, Lu Chongdao was imprisoned for treason and corruption.
Since the presiding judge was detained, the case was naturally shelved indefinitely.
It seems that this fairyland is in a mess and filled with foul smells.
But this has nothing to do with him, he just needs to find a quiet place to practice.
"Lu Bushi, do you have somewhere to go? I'll take you there, and I'm going to run away too." Ding Huan looked at Lu Bushi.
Lu Bu Si shook his head: "I have nowhere to go, Senior, if you send me away today, I might die under someone else's knife tomorrow."
Ding Huan hesitated for a moment and said, "I am going to Tianjie to seek survival. You can follow me, but you must change your appearance and name."
"Senior, I'll listen to you." Lu Bushi said without hesitation.
Ding Huan erased his transformed appearance and said, "My name is Ding Huan, and this is my original appearance."
After knowing what happened to Lu Chongdao, Ding Huan was not as anxious as before.
Lu Chongdao had offended the Immortal Prime Minister Bu Yue, so the case of Qianyuan Immortal Manor would definitely be shelved indefinitely. In that case, there was no point in him being in a hurry.
"So you are so young, senior. How about I just call you brother?" Lu Bushi quickly changed his words.
"It's up to you. Change your name to Ding Laoliu."
When Ding Huan mentioned Lu Bushi's name, he thought of Lao Liu.
He released Lao Liu in the hope that Lao Liu could lead him to find the footprints of the Chinese immortals. But Lao Liu didn't know where he went, but he seemed to have some clues.
Although no familiar people have appeared in this fairyland, it is somewhat similar to the existence in the Chinese mythology and legends of the past.
"Yes, Brother Ding, my name is Ding Laoliu." Lu Bushi felt that the name was a bit old. Since Brother Ding said so, then let's call him Ding Laoliu.
Ding Huan took out a mask and handed it to Lu Bushi: "Refine this mask and then wear it on your face..." Lu Bushi took the mask and hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Ding..."
"Just call me Brother Huan..." Ding Huan waved his hand.
"Brother Huan, I don't need to wear a mask, no one can recognize me." Lu Bushi said.
"Why?" Ding Huan looked at Lu Bushi in confusion.
Lu Bu Si replied, "I just got home yesterday, and today someone came to slaughter my entire family."
"You just came back yesterday? Where were you before?"
"I have been in the God Clan since I was born. I was sent to the Immortal Court by the God Clan elders, and then returned to Qianyuan Immortal Manor using a teleportation talisman. In fact, I have been back for less than an hour.
Because I brought back some pure purple lotus roots from the gods, and I wanted to plant them in the pond. As soon as I came out, the devil came to my house.
Because I have always been in the God Clan and am very good at hiding, I hid myself at that time..."
After hearing Lu Bushi's words, Ding Huan fell into deep thought.
He suspected that the man came just to kill Lu Busi, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence?
Lu Bushi had already reached the Yuanhun realm at the age of eight. This talent was simply terrifying.
If he really came here to kill Lu Busi, then the case of Qianyuan Xianzhuang might really have nothing to do with the immortal minister Bu Yue.
"Okay then, you don't have to wear the mask. Let's go to Tianjie... and then we need to find another place to teleport..."
"Brother Huan, you can go to Baiwangdong Market, where there is a teleportation array to Tianjie."
"How do you know?" Ding Huan looked at Lu Bushi in surprise.
Didn't Lu Bushi say he just came back? How did he know about Baiwangdong Market?
Lu Bu Si's eyes dimmed: "Because Baiwangdong Market is my Lu family's property. My grandfather told me when I was still in the God Clan. When I return to the Immortal Court, I will be in charge of Baiwangdong Market.
My grandfather told me that if a cultivator only knows how to retreat, he won’t have much of a future. He must go through various trials and experience all the ups and downs before he can have the possibility of transformation…”
Being in charge of a market at the age of eight, this is really...
"Let's go to Baiwang Cave. Do you have a jade slip with directions?" Ding Huan decided to adopt Lu Bushi's suggestion.
Lu Bu Si shook his head: "Not yet, my father hasn't had time to give these things to me yet."
"Forget it, let me think about it." Ding Huan began to calculate.
Relatively speaking, calculating the location that was not too far away was not a big deal for Ding Huan.
In just half an incense stick of time, Ding Huan chose a direction and drove the spacecraft forward.
In less than half a day, a medium-sized market appeared under Ding Huan's divine consciousness.
There were quite a few people in this market. Ding Huan patted Lu Bushi and transformed him into a girl. At the same time, he also transformed himself into an old man.
Lu Bushi has been in the God Clan for eight years and is not new to the world.
Ding Huan's move still shocked him.
Even his grandfather wouldn't know how to do this.
A large number of people who come to Fang City come here to take the teleportation array.
Some go to Tianjie, and some go to Xianting Square.
There is no teleportation array directly from the market town to the Xianting Square, but after reaching Tianjie, it is very close to the Xianting Square.
Perhaps because Qianyuan Xianzhuang was destroyed not long ago, the business of Baiwangdong Market was not affected much.
Ding Huan did not check whether the owner of Baiwang Cave had been changed. He took Lu Bushi directly to the teleportation array square.
The two of them spent 100,000 high-quality immortal crystals before they were able to get on the teleportation array.
Ding Huan secretly sighed, this amount would be worth tens of millions if converted into low-grade immortal crystals.
If I were in the ancient fairyland, I would probably never be able to afford a teleportation array in my lifetime.
The biggest profit of Baiwangdong Market is most likely this teleportation array.
As soon as he came out of the teleportation array, Ding Huan saw a huge square with three huge array display screens standing above the square.
The one in the middle reads "Xianting Contribution List", the one on the left reads "Tiangang List", and the one on the right reads "Disha List".
Ding Huan had heard of the Tiangang and Disha List, but this Immortal Court Contribution List was the first time that Ding Huan saw it.
Ding Huan took Lu Bushi and hurriedly left Tianjie Square, went to a secluded and deserted place, and simply restored his appearance.
"Brother Huan, my master doesn't even have this great magical power of yours." Lu Bushi said with some envy.
"Let's go to Tianjie." Ding Huan didn't respond.
He saved Lu Bu Si purely out of moral obligation. If he hadn't cared, Lu Bu Si would have surely died.
He had no concept of Lu Bushi or the Lu family, and didn't owe them any favors.
So he would not promise to teach Lu Bushi the Disha illusion technique.
