After all, it felt strange to face the person he had always revered.
"This is my true appearance." Lu Zhou remained seated. His expression did not change.
Lu Qianshan. "…"
Si Wuya smiled.
"General Lu, you already know my master's identity. Is there a need for you to disguise yourself?"
Lu Qianshan was taken aback. Si Wuya's words made sense.
Lu Zhou seemed to have noticed the awkwardness in his expression. He asked, "Who did you say I look like?"
"Uh …"
Lu Qianshan hesitated.
On second thought, if the Evil Sky Pavilion harbored ill intentions, Lu Li would have died a long time ago. Moreover, with Pavilion Master Lu's cultivation base and strength, there was no need for him to waste his breath on Lu Zhou.
He turned around and said, "Old Jiang, bring me the painting."
"Understood."
Shortly after.
The old butler returned to the living room with the painting.
Lu Qianshan received the painting and unfurled it in front of Lu Zhou. The painting hung in the air.
The painting entered his sight.
Lu Zhou. "???"
Si Wuya. "???"
Anyone would be stunned for a moment when they encountered such a situation.
The chances of them looking alike were extremely low. Moreover, their surnames were Lu.
Si Wuya was an extremely rational person. He was already analyzing the situation. For example, he wondered if someone had secretly drawn his master's appearance. However, the ink did not seem fresh. Perhaps, this was a legend left behind by his master when he was young. However, they were in the Black Lotus domain, and their cultivation bases were too far apart. He could not come up with anything even after analyzing for a long time.
"This is?"
"The ancestor of the Lu Clan, Perfected Being Lu. His name is Tiantong," Lu Qianshan said.
"…"
Even Lu Zhou found this to be too bizarre.
He found it difficult to understand.
Ji and Lu did not meet. Instead, he used his own name and coincidentally met them.
Why was that?
He suddenly thought of the Memory Crystal. There were twenty-six pinyin letters in the crystal … Why was that?
"Are you saying that my master looks like your ancestor? Uh … I didn't mean to insult anyone, "Si Wuya said.
Lu Qianshan said, "Yes.
Strictly speaking, he's not my ancestor. "
"Let's hear it." Lu Zhou was not a busy man.
"Patriarch Lu was born 30,000 years ago. The world was in turmoil then, and the era was in chaos. Old Ancestor Lu came from an ordinary background, but he had extraordinary talent for cultivation. In less than a thousand years of time, he shocked the endless past, suppressing countless powerful enemies, ending the age of turmoil with like-minded cultivators, enjoying the worship of later generations.
"The old man was truly a figure that shook the past and present, the top of the pyramid.
"I don't know much about his legend. Ancestors above ordered their descendants to protect and worship him. When it came to my generation, I was no exception. Ten thousand years ago, the world gradually forgot the old man's achievements, and some people began to covet the things he left behind. In order to guard this place for generations, our descendants all changed their surnames to Lu, and we regard him as our ancestor. "
As he spoke, Lu Qianshan involuntarily clasped his hands together in respect.
Lu Zhou said, "In that case, you're not the real descendants of the Lu Clan?"
Lu Qianshan shook his head and answered honestly, "That old man's cultivation was exceedingly high. How could he have such a useless descendant like me? We, on the other hand, have always been basking in the glory of the old ancestor's protection, so we don't have to worry about food and clothing. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the hall fell silent.
Lu Qianshan turned to look at Lu Zhou and said, "When I first saw you, Pavilion Master Lu, I was shocked! I didn't expect there to be such a similar-looking person under the heavens. That's why I lost my composure. "
"It's alright."
Lu Zhou waved his hand and said, "The world is vast, and nothing is too strange."
30,000 years was a far cry from that.
How could it be the same person?
It was fine to treat this as an anecdote.
At this moment, Si Wuya interjected, "What are you guarding?"
"Faith."
Lu Qianshan's eyes shone as he said, "A man can't live without faith … The Lu Clan's faith is our ancestors. Just like how ordinary people worship their ancestors, not everything has to be related to profit. Faith is sometimes a form of comfort for the soul. It's to comfort our ancestors and ourselves. "
At this moment, Lu Zhou smiled awkwardly.
He cupped his fists and said, "I've embarrassed myself in front of you."
He waved his hand.
The old butler brought the painting back to the study and returned shortly after.
Lu Zhou said, "There's nothing wrong with believing in our ancestors. Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, where's the blue crystal? "
This time, Lu Qianshan did not ask the old butler to retrieve it. Instead, he told him to wait for a while before he went to the back of the mountain. Then, he leaped into the lake and found the specially made brocade box at the bottom of the lake. He returned to the living room, drenched.
He did not use his energy to dry himself to show his sincerity.
When Lu Zhou saw the brocade box, he nodded slightly. "You're very careful. Where did you get this? "
"300 years ago. I was lucky enough to find one when I went to the northern region," Lu Qianshan said.
"You participated in the Great Void Plan as well?"
"I only went to the periphery. I didn't venture into the unknown lands. At that time, human cultivators fought with beasts, and there were heavy casualties. I'm not that ambitious. I only wanted to obtain some Birth Chart Hearts. However, I didn't expect to come across such a great opportunity. I obtained the blue crystal from the body of a beast. Later on, I learned that it's the soil for the Great Void Seed. Alas, as time passed, its aura was depleted, and its value was not what it used to be, "Lu Qianshan said.
"Why didn't you absorb the Great Void's aura?" Lu Zhou asked.
Lu Qianshan laughed heartily.
"Initially, I wanted to offer this to the Black Emperor. Alas …"
He shook his head. "It's extremely difficult to absorb the blue crystal. It's not something an ordinary person can do. I had no choice but to seal it. "
Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction.
He opened the box.
Click.
There was a piece of blue crystal lying quietly inside.
It was sparkling and translucent, like a cloudless sky for thousands of miles.
He took the blue crystal out.
As expected, the numbers on the mission column had changed.
"Second avatar: Gather all the blue crystals (29)."
Everything went smoothly.
He had thought he would have to resort to some tricks. He had even prepared a Demotion Card. He did not expect Lu Qianshan and Lu Li to be from the same sect.
He put the blue crystal away and asked, "Are you willing to give this to me?"
"There's no point in me keeping it. The Lu family's power is long gone. Who knows, they might be raided one day. Giving this to Pavilion Master Lu is the best way to repay you for saving Lu Li. "
Lu Zhou put the blue crystal away and said, "I like people who are tactful the most.
"This old man appreciates people who are tactful the most. I won't accept an undeserved reward. Leave the Black Emperor to me. This is this old man's principle of doing things. "
Lu Qianshan was overjoyed. He bowed and said, "Thank you, Cabinet Lord Lu."
Lu Zhou continued to speak.
"Do you know where the other blue crystals are?"
Lu Qianshan said,
"Back then, the Cosmos Plan produced six sets of blue crystals. Lan Xihe must have one, and the Great Dark Dynasty must have one. As for the other three, he had to ask Xiao Yunhe. In other words, the former Black Tower Master. "
"All three sets are with him?" Lu Zhou was slightly shocked.
They had really underestimated him.
Despite having five of his Fate Providences destroyed, he was still able to find three.
"He's the only one left. He's one of the survivors of the Cosmos Plan," Lu Qianshan said.
