Although they were friends, Shen Luo was an outsider after all, so Lu Huaming did not introduce him in detail.
Shen Luo naturally would not ask. He looked around, and suddenly his face changed slightly. He stopped and looked up.
He saw a huge circular light curtain in the sky. In the center, there were seven shadows of giant swords, which were red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple.
Outside the giant swords, there were many smaller shadows of swords, which formed a ring. Outside, there was another layer of shadows of swords, which were smaller in size.
The shadows of swords on the light curtain were so layered, divided into as many as seven layers, spinning like a windmill.
"This is the place where the Tang government was founded. The Emperor of our dynasty spent a lot of money to invite a Shang Qing master to arrange the Seven Sword Formation as the protection of our Tang government. This formation is extremely powerful. It is said that it was born from the legendary Immortal-killing Sword Formation. Even if a Golden Immortal of the Great All-Embracing Heaven steps into it, his soul will be destroyed. "Lu Huaming saw Shen Luo's expression and introduced.
"Seven Sword Formation!" Shen Luo murmured to himself.
Although the sword formation above his head looked extraordinary, he did not expect that it could even kill a Golden Immortal of the Great All-Embracing Heaven. The background of the Tang government was really unfathomable.
"Let's go." Lu Huaming seemed to be a little anxious. Soon, he took Shen Luo to a remote path in front of him and soon came to a two-story building.
"Is the High Duke inside?" Shen Luo looked at the small building in front of him and asked curiously.
"No, this is my residence. I have something important to deal with. I will visit the High Duke later." Lu Huaming said, and then walked quickly into the building.
Shen Luo was a little confused, but he still followed him.
Before he even stepped into the small building, a strong aroma of wine wafted out from the house, mixed with the sound of gulping down wine.
Shen Luo was stunned, and then he saw Lu Huaming sitting in the house, holding a big wine jar and drinking.
On the table next to him, there were several wine jars.
Shen Luo shook his head with a smile and walked into the house.
"Phew, I'm dying of thirst!" Lu Huaming put down the wine jar, and raised his hand to wipe the wine stain from the corner of his mouth. He said with an intoxicated look on his face.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, the important matter you mentioned is to drink wine?" Shen Luo was a little stunned.
"Heh heh, drinking wine is the most important thing for me. If I don't drink for a day, the wine worm in my stomach will rebel. But, the High Duke doesn't allow me to bring wine when I go out to perform a task. So, I've been craving for it for the past few days." Lu Huaming laughed mischievously. He then fiercely gulped down a few mouthfuls of wine.
"You look like you haven't drunk in years." Shen Luo laughed.
"One day apart feels like three years." Lu Huaming sighed.
Shen Luo shook his head and smiled, not saying anything more.
"Brother Shen, do you want some?" Lu Huaming pushed a wine jar over.
"I'm going to meet the Duke later. It's not appropriate to drink now, so I won't be drinking." Shen Luo smelled the mellow fragrance of the wine and was quite tempted. But, thinking of what he was going to do next, he still refused.
Lu Huaming also didn't force him. He minded his own business and drank three large jars of wine before stopping.
"Let's go." Lu Huaming burped and led Shen Luo out of the small building to a large hall.
"This is the Great Tang Government's Conference Hall, where the High Duke usually handles official business." Lu Huaming led Shen Luo directly into the hall.
This hall looked majestic and tall from the outside, much taller than the other halls nearby. But, the furnishings inside didn't have a trace of luxurious aura. In addition to the tables and chairs for guests, there were only two rows of weapon racks, filled with all kinds of weapons.
"Is this really the Conference Hall?" Shen Luo saw the scene in front of him and couldn't believe it.
"Oh, High Duke Cheng is a martial artist. He likes to play with swords and sticks. Moreover, he thinks that gold, silver, jade, antiques and treasures are corrupting things, so they are strictly prohibited in this Martial Arts Hall." Lu Huaming said with a smile.
"This High Duke is really a wonderful person." Shen Luo said.
"Senior Brother Lu, Fellow Taoist, please have some tea." Two attendants came out and served a cup of spirit tea to each of them.
"Is the High Duke here?" Lu Huaming asked.
"His Majesty summoned the High Duke to the court today to discuss politics. He hasn't returned yet." One of the attendants said.
"Oh, then let's wait for him." Lu Huaming was a little surprised. He turned to Shen Luo and said.
Shen Luo nodded and sat aside to wait.
As a result, he waited for half an hour. But, Lu Huaming accompanied him and talked about his experiences in recent years, so he didn't feel bored.
After a while, a burst of footsteps came from outside, loud and hurried.
"The High Duke is back!" Lu Huaming raised his eyebrows and stood up.
As soon as his voice fell, a tall and sturdy old man came in.
This man was wearing a set of golden armor. He had a thick beard and a pair of bell-sized eyes. He looked very mighty.
"Grandma, I have to go to court every day. It's really troublesome."
Shen Luo stood up and was about to go forward to salute. But, he heard the words of the tall and sturdy old man. He was stunned.
Lu Huaming looked at Shen Luo with deep meaning. He seemed to be saying, "You see, I was right."
"Master, disciple is back." Then, he strode forward and bowed.
"Master …" Shen Luo was surprised. Lu Huaming and Cheng Yaojin were master and disciple.
"Stinky boy, you smell of alcohol. You went to drink again! The lesson last time wasn't enough. Tell me, did you delay things this time? "Cheng Yaojin's nose twitched. He immediately stared at Lu Huaming and raised his hand to hit him.
"Master, disciple didn't drink during the mission. The smell of alcohol on my body is from drinking after the mission. If you don't believe me, you can ask Shen Daoyou. He saw it with his own eyes!" Lu Huaming hurriedly jumped back and defended himself loudly.
"Oh, little guy, your surname is Shen? Is this stinky boy telling the truth? "Cheng Yaojin's eyes swept and fell on Shen Luo next to him and asked.
"I'm Shen Luo. Greetings, High Duke Cheng. Brother Lu didn't lie. He did drink a few cups after completing the mission." Shen Luo stepped forward and said.
"In that case, I'll spare you this time." Cheng Yaojin snorted and no longer paid attention to Lu Huaming. He turned to look at Shen Luo.
"Your name is Shen Luo? I've never heard of this name. Are you here to be apprenticed? This little guy's bone structure looks good. He looks honest, unlike that little drunkard. "He looked up and down at Shen Luo and said casually.
"High Duke, you misunderstand. I'm here to report something to you." Shen Luo was stunned and hurriedly said.
"Cough! Master, this is Brother Shen, a friend of mine. He taught me the Water Treading Technique. He was also involved in this mission, so he came with me to report the situation to you. "Lu Huaming came over and interrupted.
"Oh, the Water Treading Technique is your magic. This technique is very helpful for us to resist the water demons. The Tang Empire owes you a favor. If you need help in the future, don't hesitate to come to me." Cheng Yaojin was stunned, then he patted Shen Luo's shoulder and said with a laugh.
Cheng Yaojin's strength was amazing. Shen Luo staggered and his shoulder hurt.
