Demon Lord Tang Dynasty

The tent flap was slowly lifted.

An old man and a young man walked out of the tent with smiles on their faces.

Their smiles clearly showed that they were both very satisfied.

"Young friend, you have the potential to soar like a dragon and leap like a tiger. I look forward to the day when I can see you again."

The old man stroked his beard and chuckled softly.

This goodbye doesn't refer to here, but rather to our future encounter in Middle-earth.

"I'm also very much looking forward to it," Gao Yi nodded in response.

Although outwardly calm, he couldn't help but feel emotional inside.

"What a rich dog."

As he reflected on the scene, Gao Yi couldn't help but recall the moment in the tent.

"I observe that young friend's breath is deep and long, and every move he makes has its own artistic conception. I suppose he has his own unique insights into martial arts."

"Although my Lu family has inherited Confucianism and passed down poetry and books, over the past thousand years, we have also collected many martial arts manuals, which may allow you to learn by analogy."

As soon as he said that, Gao Yi's eyes lit up without any surprise.

The other party's words were indeed very tempting.

As for the Lu family's strength, Gao Yi had no doubt whatsoever.

As a pillar of prominent families in Hebei and Shandong, the Lu family has always been known for its unconventional methods.

Hundreds of years before and hundreds of years after.

The unrest in Hebei is inextricably linked to the Lu family.

Of course, other prominent families also played a role in many things, but the Lu family was definitely one of the two or three most active, or even one of the most active.

Most importantly, they can meddle in anything, and they dare to meddle in anything.

For example, the Celestial Masters Rebellion at the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was supported by the Lu family, and this was not in Hebei, but in Jiangnan.

The protagonist of this uprising is also a household name.

Yes, it was the Celestial Master Sun En.

Sun En's wife was from the Lu family, and his brother-in-law, who was also his disciple, later became the Little Celestial Master Lu Xun, who inherited the rebellion. You can tell his background just by looking at his surname.

This alone shows just how unorthodox the Lu family's methods are.

It should be noted that the Celestial Masters sect is the orthodox school of Taoism and a leading force in Taoism.

The Lu family, however, was able to extend their reach inside.

As for Buddhism, Huineng, the Sixth Patriarch of Zen Buddhism, who wrote the only classic text besides Shakyamuni Buddha, was born into the Lu family.

It can be said that although the Lu family lived in Hebei for generations, their influence could reach all over the world and even extend to Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.

With such a powerful family, Gao Yi would not doubt any precious manual that they produced.

Indeed, that was the case. The old man's opening remarks revealed a groundbreaking secret manual: the Yellow Heaven Great Law.

Yes, it is the Yellow Heaven Great Law created by Celestial Master Sun En.

Of course, the old man did not directly take out the secret manual, but instead made a promise.

Gao Yi knew very well that this was the other party setting a trap.

But even Gao Yi found it hard not to be tempted by the Yellow Heaven Great Law.

back to the front.

It was unclear whether the old man had discerned something, but he chuckled and said:

"Young friend, rest assured. Although the Yellow Heaven Great Law is precious, our family consists of Confucian scholars. This secret manual is in the hands of the Lu family and has been neglected. Giving it to you may allow it to shine brightly."

"hehe."

Gao Yi couldn't help but chuckle a few times.

He was naturally very envious of the Yellow Heaven Great Method, but he couldn't let the other party fish for it like they were fishing for mandarin fish.

"I am very much looking forward to it. But to be honest, I am more interested in Confucian secret arts. I wonder if I will have the opportunity to see them."

"Um……"

The old man paused upon hearing this.

"Our Lu family has passed down the Three Rites and the title of Minister of the Imperial Academy. There is no problem with the interpretation of the classics, but the core traditions are not passed down to anyone other than a member of the Lu family."

The Confucian Four Books and Five Classics, along with various other scriptures, were widely disseminated and were not considered secret texts.

What's precious are some ancient texts and interpretations left by predecessors.

As the old man said, the Three Rites and the core meaning of the Book of Documents are the secrets that the Lu family keeps secret.

"The Gaul and Gallic families have intermarried throughout history. Although the younger generation has the surname Gaul, they can actually be considered members of the Gallic family."

"Well……"

The old man's beard twitched, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily a few times.

"We'll discuss this matter another time, another time."

He quickly waved his hands a few times.

He never expected that Gao Yi would so readily take advantage of the situation, and be so shameless.

Under normal circumstances, he would have refused without hesitation.

What is the core? It is the true foundation and secret of a family, the foundation for maintaining the family's prosperity.

If anyone outside dared to openly covet the core of the Lu family like this, the old man would probably have already taken action.

But it's clearly not suitable right now.

It's not that he cares so much about Gao Yi's life, but that he still has something to ask of Gao Yi.

This is clearly not the time to turn against each other.

As for in-laws, the old man naturally wouldn't pay attention to such words.

While Lu Gao did indeed have many marriage alliances, looking across the world, which of the top aristocratic families hadn't formed marriage ties with each other?

Ignoring Gao Yi, the old man strode away, his previous frail and aged demeanor completely gone.

"Bang."

Just then, a deep, muffled sound entered my ears.

The old man's expression changed instantly.

That was the dull thud of a fist hitting a body.

Is it Xiang'er?

Could it be that Fu Junzhuo, who left earlier, and Bai Ziting have come to cause trouble again?

With that thought in mind, the old man quickened his pace again.

The next second, a voice made the old man realize that he had guessed wrong.

That was a heart-wrenching scream.

"Ahhhhhh"

"Xiang'er, stop right now!"

The old man's anxiety subsided, but it was replaced by rising anger.

Not far ahead, Lu Xiang's figure with his fist raised came into view, and in front of him, a emaciated man was lying on the ground groaning.

"Huh? Bai San?"

Gao Yi followed slowly behind the old man and naturally saw the scene in the distance, and also recognized the person lying on the ground.

Although Gao Yi's voice was soft, it reached the old man's ears very clearly.

"You scoundrel! We're here as guests, how dare you cause trouble? Have you wasted all the etiquette you learned?"

"This person barged in so abruptly that I was worried he would disrupt my uncle's conversation. I tried to reason with him, but he wouldn't listen, so..."

"Damn it!" The old man glared angrily, his beard bristling, but his expression softened noticeably.

It's obvious that these insults were directed at Gao Yi.

"You bastard, this is someone else's territory. This man is Gao Xiaoyou's subordinate. Where he wants to go is none of your business!"

"It's alright, it's alright."

Gao Yi smiled and waved his hand: "My subordinate must have been in a hurry because of something, and had a misunderstanding with Brother Lu."

"Young Master Lu comes from a family with a strong academic background, so he should be quite magnanimous in his actions. There shouldn't be any major problems."

"Ouch~ Ouch~"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai San on the ground let out a pig-like scream, his whole body trembling, and even a trace of blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

Lu Xiang's eyes widened in disbelief.

The old man had a bitter smile on his face.

Only Gao Yi's lips curled slightly, and he secretly sighed:

"What a talent!"
