Under One Person: Lifting the Ball to Soar

Lu Piao was stunned for a moment, then wished: "Seventh Grandpa, live a long life!"

Lu Shu stroked his beard and smiled, then he stretched out his two big palms generously, making a number of nine with one hand and eight with the other:

"Haha, I'm already ninety-eight!"

Being free and easy in the heart means having no worries when leaving and no fear when coming back, and being calm and relaxed in the present.

The old man has seen through life and death, and his life is in his own hands!

Lu Piao thought for a moment, then smiled and praised:

"Congratulations, Grandpa Qi, on reaching the age of 100!"

Lu Shu nodded and said, "Good! You are indeed a man of insight born in my Lu family. This wisdom is beyond the reach of ordinary people!"

Lu Piao smiled and said, "Grandpa Qi is blessed with a long life and no worries."

Seeing this scene, Lu Ci and his father felt disappointed. The plan was ruined!

How could anyone with eyes not see that the whole family had teamed up to make a fool of him!

The script was originally set up so that the seventh master of the Lu family, whose death was approaching, could not let go of his attachment to the world and his relatives and descendants, so he held a unique funeral for himself.

Then he moved people's hearts through a series of family warmth, pretending to be pitiful and miserable, crying with smiles and tears in laughter, and by the way, he used moral kidnapping to force Lu Piao to show leniency to his clansmen and trick them into finding a way to the fairy world.

But the leading actor kept deleting his own scenes and refused to listen to the director's script arrangements, and the extras who were related to the director also acted slyly and dragged down the group.

Lu Shu flipped the table and stopped performing, but Piaoer still praised the old bitch for being "blessed, long-lived and worry-free"!

If we want to talk about the beating of bamboo clappers, we won’t praise anything else, but we should praise the old and the young for their pretentious and witty remarks…

Wow! The clan leader and his father were so angry!

"Piao'er, even though your seventh grandfather seems to be smiling, he is actually crying in his heart!"...

Old Man Lu still holds on to a faint hope and struggles to make up for it, wanting to explore Lu Shu's complex inner emotions and find new avenues to continue playing the role of Lu Piao.

Lu Ci nodded and said, "Yes, Grandpa Qi is feeling very anxious..."

Mother Lu seemed to want to say something several times but stopped herself. She felt from the beginning that her precious little son was too smart and intelligent to be deceived at all, and that the efforts of the master and Ci'er were in vain.

Lu Shu next to him felt annoyed and said bluntly:

"Alright, stop talking nonsense, are you blaming the old man for not fooling the Third Young Master?

I also told my family not to make it too ridiculous. I just want to gather everyone together to hold a funeral game for me. Who cares about your treacherous plans!"

Lu Shu stood up and looked around, then said to the younger relatives of his lineage:

"Stop kneeling, get up! Although I told you not to take it too seriously, look at the way you are crying!

The Third Young Master is a god-like figure. I would say that he shouldn't have had any evil thoughts from the beginning. How could you even think of fooling the Third Young Master when you can't even fool yourself?"

Lu Shu jumped out of the coffin and ignored the ugly faces of the current and former clan leaders. He took Lu Piao's small hand with his big hand and walked out.

When I walked out of the gate, there was a huge crowd outside. Almost all the villagers, young and old, were waiting here.

"Okay, my funeral is over, let's have our feast!"

Lu Shu waved his hand generously and asked the younger generations in the family to bring the plates and put the wine and food on the table!

"This……"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. They couldn't tell what was going on from the old man's strange behavior and Lu Piao's confused expression. An elder of the Lu family asked cautiously:

"Uncle Qi, is this... done?"

Lu Shu angrily cursed:

"Bullshit! Back then I told our Lu family not to get involved in the Jiashen Rebellion but you didn't listen. Now you are actually coveting the Third Young Master's fairy world! How can this be absurd!"

When these words came out, all the Lu family members were dumbfounded:

From what you said, it seems like... you are going to directly join the Third Young Master?

Buddha, Jade Emperor and God, Master Qi, are you suffering from Alzheimer's disease? You are the hope of our entire village!

We are ready to fight to the death, why did you surrender first?

Immediately afterwards, a fire of ignorance and betrayal arose from the bottom of everyone's heart, and countless angry and dissatisfied gazes shot towards Lu Shu like arrows!

There was an uproar at the scene. If this old man was not the most senior person in the Lu family, there would have been a fight!

"Shut up, everyone!"

The Seventh Master of the Lu Family was furious, and his rumbling voice drowned out the noise!

"We Qigong practitioners cultivate both our inner and outer selves. If we want to achieve success, our character is especially important. But each of you has an unrighteous heart!

At fifteen, I set my sights on learning; at thirty, I became independent; at forty, I had no doubts; at fifty, I understood the will of Heaven; at sixty, my ears were obedient; at seventy, I could follow my heart's desire without transgressing the rules.

Now I, Lu Shu, am nearly a hundred years old. Do you still want me to follow you and do stupid things?

It is a blessing from heaven that the third young master enters our Lu family. You, as members of the Lu family, do not know how to appreciate the saints and the virtuous, reflect on yourselves, stay away from evil and maintain sincerity.

Instead, he has evil intentions and is impetuous, and all he wants are the resources and treasures from the fairy world!

Don’t you know that there are three dangers in the world: having little virtue but much favor is the first danger; having low talent but high position is the second danger; having no great achievements but receiving high salary is the third danger!

You have neither the far-reaching ambition to establish a mind for the heaven and earth, nor the moral conduct to establish a destiny for the people. You are busy and busy only knowing how to take by force, invade and rob, for your own selfish ends and those of your family!

It is so too. What is the benefit of our Lu family existing in this world? What virtue and ability do we have to inherit the blessings of the immortal world!

You must know that if one's virtue is not in line with one's position, there will be disaster, and if one acts recklessly, there will be death!"

Finally, Lu Shu respectfully invited Lu Piao to come before him, and roared at the tribesmen in a thunderous roar:

"It's fine to bully people, but how dare you bully God!"

. .

Chapter 15: Borrowing Another Two Hundred Years from Heaven

The scolding of "How dare you deceive God?" was like a bucket of cold water poured over their heads, cooling the tribesmen's fanatical greed.

Everyone watched the reaction of the third young master in front of Lu Shu with guilt.

The sunlight shines on the boy's indifferent and peaceful face. His fairy-like figure seems to emit a holy light, as if blending into the unpredictable and unfathomable world.

Lü Piao spent many years in the fairy world doing construction work, and he only went home to visit his family for about ten days a year. However, the legend about him has never ceased to be passed down from mouth to mouth in Lüjia Village.

The idea that the Third Young Master is the reincarnation of a god is firmly imprinted on the soul of every member of the Lu family.

All I can say is that distance not only creates beauty but also inspires imagination.

In the eyes of the Lu family, Lu Piao is separated from ordinary Qi cultivators by the gap between immortals and mortals. The third young master has great wisdom and supernatural powers, and is an extraordinary existence!

Even his close parents and brother, although they did not regard him as a deity on earth like the ordinary people in the tribe, they also sincerely felt that Lu Piao was wise and foolish, and was extraordinary and unique.

At this moment, Mother Lu was complaining in her heart that her husband and son were blinded by their own wisdom and were thinking they were smart. How could they win by playing tricks on their little son?

Old Man Lu was annoyed in his heart that Lu Ci always talked nonsense to him. Now he cooperated with him to cause this situation. What should he do if Piao'er comes home less often in the future?

Lu Ci cursed in his heart his Seventh Grandfather Lu Shu, calling him a big fool!

Lü Piao was thinking about the causes, process and results of the New Year's greetings turning into funerals...

After pondering for a while what Grandpa Qi had just fiercely directed at the tribesmen, I finally realized that it was a typical attempt to pull down and brag about himself.

Then, combined with the tribesmen’s intense reactions, I sorted out what happened today.

Lu Piao finally realized that all this was a plan by the family to send someone to be the sixth brother to trap himself and the fairy world, but the seventh grandfather who was responsible for playing the sympathetic role in the plan did not tolerate the tribe members and directly defected.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Third Young Master first looked thoughtful, then seemed to understand something mysteriously, and finally revealed a confident and sweet smile...

The members of the Lu family felt ashamed and began to reflect on how they had been blinded by greed and actually wanted to deceive the Third Young Master!

Lu Shu had long been dissatisfied with many things in the Lu family. This time he finally had a good time. Seeing that everyone was humiliated by his criticism, he felt very proud and started to shout again:

"Alright, alright, let's start the feast. You can't come to my funeral for nothing. Let's eat and drink well!"

The old man said to Lu Piao again, "Third Young Master, let's take our seats first."

"What do you mean by young master? You are my seventh grandfather, so just call me Liao."

"Okay, Piao'er! Let's go to the feast with Grandpa Qi!"

"I...I'll sit at the kids' table."

"That's perfect. Except for you, everyone at our table is an old man, a bunch of old kids, and we're sitting at the kids' table!"

Lu Piao was reluctantly dragged by Lu Shu to sit at the main table.

In addition to the most senior elder of the Lu family, the highest-ranking patriarch Lu Ci and his family were also seated here.

To be honest, at this time, the Lu family is considered to be a very open-minded family in the eyes of other schools of thought.

Because the Lu family allows women to sit at the table at the banquet!

Mother Lu sat at the same table with the elders of the Lu family.

In this era, even most ordinary people have some discrimination against women. The bad habit of not allowing women to sit at the table when entertaining guests is everywhere. …

Especially the circle of extraordinary people is extremely closed and conservative, and the feudal and backward ideas of aristocratic families like the Lu family that have been passed down for thousands of years are even more deeply rooted!

But who can blame the Lu family for having Lu Piao, a little ancestor who is ahead of his time?

Once, when Lu Piao attended a clan banquet for the first time, all he saw was a group of men, so he asked directly where Miss Hua had gone.

His father told him that women were not allowed to sit at the table.

Lu Piao was so angry!

He turned his anger into food and quickly finished his meal in a few mouthfuls and threw the bowl on the table. After filling his stomach, he started punching and said bluntly that the Lu family was a stupid family of male chauvinism and they disdained to associate with you!

Don't invite me to a banquet in the future! I'm leaving!

The Lu family immediately panicked. The Third Young Master had lived in the fairyland for a long time and could only come back during the holidays so that they could admire his fairy-like appearance at the family banquet!

If I don't go home for festivals, wouldn't that be the same as settling in the fairy world and severing ties with the Lu family!

This won't work! A clan meeting was immediately held and everyone agreed that the rules of the Lu family must be changed!

From then on, the status of women in the Lu family was greatly improved. Not only could they participate in family banquets, but even Ruyi Jin had broken the rule of being passed down to men but not women, and women could now study it.
