From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 421: Heaven and Earth Worship, Man Conquers Nature

Xuzhou, Huanghuai disaster area.

Thousands of years ago, ordinary people had little power. Lightning, thunder, river bursting, and landslides were all difficult and frightening problems.

Under this situation, they could only place their hopes on the gods, kowtow, offer sacrifices, pay tribute and perform Nuo dances, which is also the oldest form of worship of heaven and earth and gods.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Daoling saw that the people in the Huanghuai region were living in dire straits and suffering from natural disasters such as floods. So he went into the mountains and rivers of the Huanghuai region and turned fossil cattle into stone to suppress the water veins, thus protecting the Huanghuai River basin for a thousand years of peace.

Now that the stone cow has been destroyed, the flood situation in the Huanghuai area has taken a sharp turn for the worse. However, due to the timely official disaster relief and the magical powers of Taoist masters such as Li Yang and Zhang Miaofa, the casualty situation is still optimistic.

Within certain limits, the environment has the ability to heal itself.

What Zhang Daoling achieved with Taoism a thousand years ago, ordinary people can also achieve with the help of modern technology a thousand years later.

Building dams, dredging rivers, opening up flood diversion areas, lowering flood levels... after a series of combined efforts, the geographical conditions in the Huanghuai region have been significantly improved.
XZ City, Shuanggou Town Guanyin International Airport.

After the disaster, the airport slowly returned to its usual prosperity. The disaster situation in the Huanghuai region has been brought under control and improved. The members of the Bluebird Rescue Team took off their blue support uniforms, pulled their suitcases, and everyone returned to their carefree second-generation rich looks.

As the host of Xuzhou area, Lu Junfu and Deng Xinping saw off these friends in the airport lobby.

"Brother Lu, there's nothing going on in the association right now. Let's go home and play for a few days. Feel free to call us if you have any questions."

"Of course, if it's a wedding banquet or an engagement party, we'll be there whenever you call..."

One of his close friends looked back and forth between Lu Junfu and Deng Xinping with a slightly mischievous look and spoke in an ambiguous tone.

Deng Xinping understood immediately and lowered her head with a blushing face.

Lu Junfu, on the other hand, looked puzzled: "Engagement banquet? What engagement banquet? Does our Bluebird Support Association still have this support project?"

Seeing Lu Junfu asking seriously with a serious look on his face, several rich second-generations burst into laughter, leaving Lu Junfu puzzled.

Deng Xinping pouted and stamped her feet in frustration: "Forget it, you guys should leave quickly, it's almost time, I wish you a safe journey... This guy is a piece of wood, I don't even bother to pay attention to him."

Deng Xinping had obviously dressed up carefully today, getting rid of her dusty look. She looked particularly pure and lovely in a strapless knee-length dress. Her toes painted with nail polish in her high heels were as delicate as cherries, and her calves like white lotus roots were particularly eye-catching at the airport.

But in Lu Junfu's eyes, such a carefully dressed woman was obviously not as attractive as her soon-to-be-parted best friend, and his eyes did not even stay on her.

Lu Junfu looked at his best friends who were laughing and scratched his head: "Wooden, who is wooden? Are you talking about me? What's wooden about me?"

"You are not stupid. When we were at the Suzhou Taoist Temple in Yuhuang Temple, Taoist Master Zhang Miaofa said that he could reserve a position as your personal disciple for you free of charge."

"Personal disciple! My brother Lu, that is a personal disciple. Those Taoist students have to go through a one-year assessment period before they can become ordinary students. You are a personal disciple, and you actually refused!"

Deng Xinping was so anxious that she stamped her feet, as if she was the one who missed the opportunity to become a disciple of the Taoist temple, and she couldn't help but feel regretful.

Several of his best friends also looked sad: "It's my brother Lu. Who is that wonderful method? He is the headmaster of Longhu Mountain! Longhu Mountain, Zhengyi Sect. If you agree to this, you will be promoted to the top in one step!"

Facing the regrets of several friends, Lu Junfu showed an indifferent attitude and spread his hands: "Cultivating immortals? What's so good about cultivating immortals? I have been to Longhu Mountain countless times when I was a child. It is old-fashioned and outdated. It is not as comfortable as our Bluebird Support Team."

Seeing that Deng Xinping and a few of her close friends were still feeling sorry for her, Lu Junfu spoke again: "Okay, okay, I, the person involved, don't think there's anything wrong. Why are you all so sad? Besides, it's not like we haven't gained anything. Look..."

As he spoke, Lu Junfu swung a small object hanging from his waist in a show-off manner.

The object seemed to be carved from a whole piece of wood, with intricate gold patterns carved on the surface, and was about five or six centimeters long. "This was a souvenir that Taoist Master Zhang Miaofa personally asked his junior brother to give me. He said it was a souvenir that they gave to tourists at Longhu Mountain, and it was carved in imitation of their gong seal."

The souvenir was passed among several close friends. When it came to Deng Xinping, she deliberately squeezed it.

Well, it was just ordinary wood, and a not-so-good piece of wood, with a crack on the bottom.

Seeing Lu Junfu's worthless smile, Deng Xinping couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Lu, are you so happy with just a piece of rotten wood?"

"This is called meaning is greater than value, it is proof that I helped an old man!"

After some laughter and joking, several close friends boarded the plane one after another.

After leaving the airport, Deng Xinping followed Lu Junfu closely, and leaned close to him intentionally or unintentionally.

Anyway, it's a piece of wood that likes wood, so I have no problem with more movements.

Thinking this in her heart, Deng Xinping's face turned pink, and as she walked, she carefully hugged Lu Junfu's arm.

"Xinping, if you have nothing else to do, please come to my house for the Spring Festival. My parents said they want to see you."

As they were walking, Lu Junfu suddenly said something out of the blue.

"Ok?"

"Um?!!"

Deng Xinping widened her eyes and looked up at Lu Junfu.

Lu Junfu still looked straight ahead.

"Meet me? What do you want to see me for? What's so good about me?"

Deng Xinping turned her face away and held Lu Junfu's hand even tighter.

"This is our family custom. When you are 24 years old and your zodiac year comes, you must bring a girl home to celebrate the New Year. I don't have many female friends around me, so I have to trouble you."

Sure enough, this piece of wood was just for the purpose of getting the job done.

She felt a little disappointed, but fortunately Deng Xinping had gotten used to it and soon calmed down.

"Your family's tradition is so strange. How come I have never heard of this tradition... Lu family? Is Lu Ban your ancestor?"

"It's not Lu Ban." Lu Junfu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The elders in my family don't know who it is, but they said that our family was not named Lu a thousand years ago."

As he spoke, Lu Junfu slowly straightened his chest:
“They said he was a great figure in Taoism and that our family’s ancestor was the youngest son, or Xiaozong.

My ancestor was weak and sickly and couldn't follow him to the famous mountains and rivers, so this branch hid in Xuzhou and changed its surname several times over the past thousand years. The family tree was also lost, and it became my current family. "

"But it is rumored that the big company is doing quite well."
