C37 test for truth or falsehood
The mountain gate stood tall, and the mansion that occupied the mountain stood behind it.
In the depths of the forest, the ancient residence was concealed within. The brownish-brown house was of a simple and unadorned appearance. In the middle of the house was a plaque with two words written on it: Lu Residence.
In front of the gate, there were two disciples who came to greet them. The two of them wore the same Zen jacket, light and comfortable.
Yu Sheng stepped forward, her eyes clear as she said slowly, "I'm here to pick someone up."
The other party respectfully and cautiously invited her in, and Yu Sheng followed him in as if she was entering her own sect's courtyard. She showed neither fear nor fear as she was treated with care by others. Her indifferent demeanor made it hard to read her mind.
The three Lu brothers and Huo Yuan were waiting in the main hall with worry in their eyes.
When Lu Mian heard that Lu Lianqing had appeared again and was standing next to Lu You, he also instinctively took precautions when he felt fear. From Lu You's attitude, Lu Mian could guess that the young man was related to the Yu Family's young ladies and that his actions were faster than his thoughts. Especially when he heard that that person was "waking up" soon, he became flustered in his heart.
Thirty years ago, the Lu family was already regretting their decision. They realized their mistake, but their hatred had already been formed. Regret was useless, and this time, they should have sought peace.
Yu Sheng stepped over the threshold and entered the residence. She looked at the decorations of the ancient residence with exquisite elegance and serene eyes. She was even colder towards her three elders who were old enough to be her grandfather.
Yu Sheng walked towards the seat of honor, as if it was a matter of course.
After taking his seat, he saw that the four of them wanted to probe her. A trace of nervousness rose up in Yu Sheng's heart, and in the next instant, she pressed herself to the ground and rubbed against him.
"It's been a while since I've seen the Feng Shui department." Yu Sheng's gaze swept across the hall with a hint of nostalgia.
The four people at the table didn't know if Yu Sheng was real or fake, so they didn't care about the etiquette and sat down at the tables.
"The achievements of our predecessors in feng shui are extraordinary, to this day, we only have a few phoenix feathers and qilin horns. If we meet an expert, we might be unable to make ends meet and reveal our cowardice in front of others." Lu Min's tone was calm, he had the attitude of an equal, and had been in charge for a long time. He had a way to handle people, and was not low in status, but also had a sense of guidance, and was not easy to deal with.
"Three mountains and four rivers, the spirit channel asked. Where to? How deep was it? "Mountains have form and are hard to find. The water is invisible, so the bodies are scattered everywhere. The mountains can cut off the water, the water can moisten the mountains, and the mountains can stand on flat ground. The mountains can shoot up into the sky and the water can sink down to the ground to nourish all living things." Yu Sheng's voice was light and forceful, and his words were clear. She recounted a story that was somewhat similar to the mood in Zen, pretending to be profound as she summed up his words, secretly beating the people in the hall, "The gains and losses are natural, but how is the rule."
A sentence that implied 'hit' shocked the hearts of the four people present.
The struggles between mountains and rivers caused great disasters in the human world. The gods were furious and drove the three mountains and four rivers away from their land. However, considering the virtue they had in living in heaven, they were given a chance.
If the lord of the spirit channel could give them a destination, then they would be spared. Otherwise, the three mountains and four waters would no longer have any grace.
This was to use the intention of giving pointers and compare the Lu Family to three mountains and four rivers. Only by acting according to the rules could one have a chance of survival.
"That is indeed the case. Only by having a way can it last for a long time. The elders are also teaching their descendants in this way." Lu Min did not reveal any weakness and continued to probe.
However, when Yu Sheng heard this, she did not feel gratified.
"Your Lu family is too persistent. At the beginning of the world, the three emperors created a hundred states in the world and then established the Underworld's reincarnation cycle. Even the gods of the great wastelands could not exist in this world forever, so how could mortals escape life and death? Both the Daoist and the ghost catcher have stepped into the Yin Yang Twilight Zone, and have gained prestige by punishing evil spirits. Furthermore, their lifespan has also decreased due to them having come into contact with too many Yin objects. A clear and melodious voice rang out from within the room. In the spacious hall, her voice sounded as if it had been left with the mansion, waiting for the fated to receive their gift, ethereal and elegant. "In this world, whether it's tangible or intangible, in the end, everything conforms to nature, nothing can survive for long."
The Lu family's ancestor was a family with a cultivation of the Dao. The Tao technique was natural and followed the will of the heavens. This was supposed to be a Taoist concept, but as time passed, it became more difficult to cultivate.
Cultivators were all afraid of being influenced by the secular world. Those who had experienced all sorts of things in the mortal world would all become experts, but those who had entered the mortal world would be bewitched by the secular world and find it difficult to return to the dao heart.
The Lu family was one of them.
When a disciple came in to serve tea, she heard the young woman berating the Lu family and felt discontented in her heart, but Master had already told her that the person to enter the sect tonight was an honorable guest. She could not afford to neglect it, and even though she was angry, she still respectfully offered tea.
A cyan porcelain cup with a green tea was placed on the small square case. The color was somewhat archaic, and the long history of the tea was immediately revealed.
It was slightly cold and warm. Yu Sheng lifted the teacup and took a sip, her expression amiable.
"It's always good to live longer." Lu Min pointed out, but did not dare look at the person who sat in front of him when he said that.
In terms of how long she lived, the person in front of her was the most suitable person to speak. She had experienced many years, but her fate wasn't that long.
"After all, there are too many people in this industry. Today, there are very few clans that have survived in this world, and the only ones that have survived are the ones that have failed. There are so many things that cannot be found." "I had the privilege of meeting with Rao Lu a few times. He was a disobedient master, and at the time he was called out of line. From the looks of it, he could be considered to have found an opportunity. In the coming decades, his Feng Shui Sect would be a peerless sect that dominated the world. Even today, it would be a way to make a lot of money. The roots of the past have already been lost. Today, the ancestors have long since passed away.
For cultivators, the most taboo thing was having an obsession.
Being greedy for longevity, wasn't that the same thing as obsession?
"Miss must be joking, why are you …" Huo Ke asked.
His left hand lifted the teacup and placed it on the small table. His pinky formed a cushion between the teacup and the small case without making a sound, but it made everyone feel as if porcelain collided with each other, producing a loud noise.
"I've finally understood the reason why I'm here. Everyone is trying to find out if someone is ordering the dishes." With his back straightened, Yu Sheng's facial expression did not change. The words he said did not match with her dull expression, but it was as if he was born with it. No one present felt it was strange. Yu Sheng's fingers caressed the white wire copper bell on his wrist, his tone becoming increasingly faint. "30 years. You all seem to have not made any progress."
As soon as he said that, everything became quiet.
