Studying the Dao in the Morning, Death in the Night (2)
***
There were many ancient rituals among the disciples of Daoyi Palace. If he were to rashly visit a senior who had never interacted with him before, it would be extremely disrespectful.
That was why he found Lu Zhengming first and handed the visitation card to Cui Heng.
"So that's the reason." Uncle Chen immediately smiled when he heard that. “Don't worry, Governor Cui will definitely meet you. He is a living Immortal, the best person in the world.”
“Zhou small, you don't know, right? Old Chen actually came from Dachang County in the east. He moved here with the Governor, ”an old man beside him said. “Old Chen never saw Governor Cui before.”
"There really is such a relationship?" Zhou Hongyi's eyes twinkled as he asked, “Uncle Chen, I heard Governor Cui has the ability to summon wind and rain. Really it?"
“Of course it's true. I saw it with my own eyes on the city wall that day.” Old Chen was extremely excited as he said this, and his saliva flew everywhere. “Hundreds of thousands of bandits come with mighty. Governor Cui stood alone on the city walls.With a wave of his hand, a huge hole immediately collapsed in the clear sky. The Heavenly River water flowed profusely, and hundreds of thousands of rebels were thrown in place. ”.
This was clearly the speech of a storyteller, and immediately drew the muttering of several old men beside him.
“Old Chen, didn't you say that Governor Cui splashed a bowl of water and caused a storm?”
“At that time, there were only 40,000 to 50,000 rebels. Old Chen, Little Zhou asked you seriously. Don't boast.”
“Even if Governor Cui is really a living God, you can't boast like that. Tell us the truth."
….
Uncle Chen was a little embarrassed by what he said. He coughed lightly and said, “Hehe, actually I was a bit scared back then. I did not dare to go up the city walls to defend the city. I just stood on a high point and saw the storm outside the city from afar. Lightning struck and thunder rumbled. I only heard about Governor Cui's ability to turn water into rain.
“You just have to remember that Governor Cui is definitely a living God. He's a great man. Don't worry about anything else. This must be true! I'll go first. Otherwise, my old lady will catch me back for dinner.”
With that, he put down his chess piece and ran away. Although he was almost 70 years old, his footsteps were still very agile.
“Hahaha, Uncle Chen's words are still very funny.” Zhou Hongyi also put down his hand and stood up to bow to the elders. "I'll go first."
In fact, in the past half a month, he had often asked about Cui Heng in Xiling County. Almost everyone who came from Juhe County said it for sure, and many of them had even seen it with their own eyes.
However, after more than 20 years of martial arts cultivation and his understanding of the Martial Dao realm, Zhou Hongyi found it hard to believe that there was a method to turn water into rain.
That's too exaggerated.
As a direct disciple of the Daoyi Palace Sect Master, there was a high chance that he would become the next Daoyi Palace Sect Master. He naturally had a lot of understanding of the Martial Dao realm.
Although he was only an Inner World cultivator now, he had long known what the experts of the God Realm could and could not do. He even knew very well what the Human God and Earth God could and could not do.
Even the Earth God of the Upper World could not summon the wind and rain to destroy 50,000 soldiers with a flick of his finger. Whether the Eternal Heaven could do so is debatable.
This made Zhou Hongyi curious about Cui Heng
If Cui Heng could really summon the wind and rain
In that case, was he also related to the incident where the stars fell like rain in Xiling City and destroyed hundreds of thousands of King Yan's troops in one night?
Just like Zhang Shuming, Zhou Hongyi did not think that the so-called divine punishment existed. The incident in Xiling County that day was definitely man-made.
Heaven is heartless and treats all living beings like dogs! There was no way he would interfere in the disputes of the human world.
He had come to Xiling County this time to investigate the matter of the meteor shower in detail.
What kind of person could use such an incredible divine technique?
He did not care about the possible danger.
Instead, he thought that this was an opportunity to approach the truth of the Great Dao!
In Zhou Hongyi's opinion, an existence with such great divine power was definitely closer to the Great Dao than anyone else!
As long as he could find this existence, he might be able to get close to the Great Dao.
If one heard Dao in the morning, he could die at night!
….
After Zhou Hongyi came to Xiling County, he immediately became good friends with Vice Governor Lu Zhengming.
Therefore, when he arrived at the county magistrate's office, he only informed the bailiff Feng Wu, who was guarding the door, of his intentions before entering.
No one stopped him. However, Zhou Hongyi had just taken a few steps when he saw Lu Zhengming running with a happy expression.
“Hongyi, you are here. I was just looking for you!” Lu Zhengming laughed out loud. “Governor Lu has replied. The governor said that you can go and see him at any time.
"Thank you!" Zhou Hongyi's eyes twinkled. He immediately bowed to Lu Zhengming. “Thank you for your help, Brother Lu.”
"Haha, why are you bowing to me?" Lu Zhengming waved his hand and said with a smile, "Hongyi, actually, as long as you help me ask the Governor the moment you see him, I will be able to follow him around."
“Kakak Lu, don't worry. I won't let you down.” Zhou Hongyi nodded solemnly.
At this time, Feng Wu, who was guarding the door, walked over and reported, "Master, there is a Daoist priest outside who wants to meet Daoist Zhou."
"Daoist Priest?" Zhou Hongyi was stunned at first, then he looked towards Lu Zhengming.
"Oh." Lu Zhengming nodded and said, "Let him enter. He should be from the Hongyi sect."
A moment later, a young Daoist who looked to be in his twenties entered. He looked hurried and a little anxious.
“Greetings, Uncle-Master Zhou.” The young Daoist priest cupped his hands and bowed.
"Zhizhen, why are you in such a hurry?" Zhou Hongyi was slightly surprised. The disciples of Daoyi Palace had always been the most focused to calm the mind and recuperate. It is rare for them to rush.
"Teacher asked me to tell you about important news." The young Daoist priest bowed and lowered his voice. “The Wang Family of Langya and the Xie Family of Pingshan intend to harm the Governor of Lu.” County
Liu Zhizhen was one of the best disciples among the younger generation in Daoyi Palace. He had broken through and reached the Profound Gate realm at a young age and was about to become a Xiantian Grandmaster. He usually had a good relationship with Zhou Hongyi and spoke more casually.
"What?!" Zhou Hongyi was a little surprised when he heard this. He almost thought that he heard wrong. He said in surprise, "Are they tired of living?"
"Aah?" Liu Zhizhen was also stunned. He did not understand, nor did he understand what Zhou Hongyi meant. He said confusedly, "Uncle-Teacher, Sect Master wants you to go to Lu County City as quickly as possible to prevent something from happening to that Governor."
"All right, I get it." Zhou Hongyi nodded with a strange expression and chuckled. “It so happens, I already plan on leaving for Lu County. You can go back and tell this Sect Master. ”
"Yes, Uncle-Master Zhou!" Liu Zhizhen heaved a sigh of relief. He finally sent the news.
The news that Sect Master specifically instructed him, no matter what it was, must have been very important. He sent it as soon as possible.
However, Liu Zhizhen was still a little curious.
He couldn't help but ask, “By the way, Uncle-Teacher Zhou, may I ask what the background of that Lu County Governor is? He could actually make two noble families attack him. Even Sect Master appreciated it greatly.”
In Liu Zhizhen's opinion, he was only a regional governor and should not be involved in any great secrets.
There will be no problem in asking.
Moreover, even if there was indeed a big secret, Zhou Hongyi would definitely tell him not to ask.
“This Lu County Governor..”
Zhou Hongyi opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but then hesitated. In the end, he smiled and said, "If my previous guess was correct, it might be an opportunity for the Sect Master and I to understand the Great Dao."
“Great... Great Dao ?!”
Liu Zhizhen was stunned upon hearing this.
As a disciple of Daoyi Palace, he knew very well the weight of these words.
But what about the Lu County Governor?
