Chapter 135 After the Autumnal Equinox

After sending off the soul of Grandpa Wu, Lu Heng did not stay in the underworld for long, and returned directly to Fushan City in the human world.

The underworld was desolate and empty, and full of death, which made a living person like Lu Heng feel very depressed.

Although he had the Netherworld Soul Seal on him, he would not be invaded by the death, but he would not like it as much as the real dead.

So Lu Heng would not stay there for long if he could.

When Lu Heng returned to the human world, Xiao Ai was still guarding the door of the room where Lu Heng's demon body was in the small courtyard behind the Fire God Temple.

In the warm morning sunshine, the little girl sat cross-legged with a serious face, practicing with concentration.

Today's Xiao Ai can be said to have made great progress in her practice.

If we only talk about strength, she is much stronger than the previous wolf demon.

Even outside, she can be regarded as a young hero with some skills.

If we talk about the realm of cultivation, she is far superior to Lu Heng, a loser who has not even opened the gate of heaven.

——Because Xiao Ai had already opened the Heavenly Gate when she was in Hanyu Mountain!

So among all the people, in terms of cultivation realm, it is Xiao Ai, the little girl who is always silent, who is the strongest.

Seeing Lu Heng's Yuanshen incarnation appear in the courtyard, Xiao Ai hurriedly stood up, but did not salute.

After being together for so long, Xiao Ai has long been familiar with the Wolf God's style of doing things, and is no longer so restrained and polite.

Seeing that Lu Heng just smiled and nodded at her without any other instructions, Xiao Ai breathed a sigh of relief, continued to sit back in her original position, and continued to practice.

The Wolf God came back alone, and she knew that the old man of the Wu family must have been safely reincarnated.

This trip to Fushan City finally came to an end.

For Lu Heng, the next step is to wait for the Lord of Lianshan to know the rumors about the Netherworld, and then come to negotiate.

Although Lu Heng has no plan for who will be the future Lord of the Netherworld.

But the construction of the Netherworld will not be completed in one or two days. Just the initial planning and the response system established in the human world require a lot of manpower, material resources, and time.

So Lu Heng was not in a hurry. He lived leisurely in the quiet courtyard at the back of the Fire God Temple, studying the various secrets sent by Helan Wuzhu to broaden his horizons.

He wanted to learn from the strengths of hundreds of schools and open up a new path of practice.

In short, it is to write a secret book by yourself.

And it is best if not only you can learn it, but also people around you like Xiao Ai and Sun Yan can learn it.

For a "low-level practitioner" like Lu Heng who has not opened the gate of heaven, it is almost a foolish dream to achieve such a wish.

But I don’t know if it is because of the special power of the sky thunder, Lu Heng, who is obviously not at a high level of cultivation, did not encounter any obstacles when learning to deduce those extremely profound practice secrets, and he can easily understand many profound practice secrets.

If such an example were converted to Lu Heng's previous life, it would be equivalent to a child with a third-grade education, who could actually understand knowledge such as calculus and advanced mathematics...

This kind of thing can be called a miracle in the world.

But Lu Heng was the only one who was surprised by this.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, the cultivation of this mysterious wolf god was unfathomable, and it was natural for him to understand these secrets.

And Lu Heng couldn't even find someone to talk to. After all, if he went around saying that he didn't even open the gate of heaven, I'm afraid everyone would think he was joking.

Moreover, this world is full of dangers, although Lu Heng didn't want to use the tiger's skin as a banner. But in a world where monsters are rampant, being able to make more people fear themselves and be cautious is also a means of self-defense.

Lu Heng felt that he couldn't accept the behavior of pretending to be weak, then attracting the contempt of some people who were arrogant, and then angrily teaching them a lesson.

The world is so beautiful, the sky and the earth are so vast, why waste your life on such boring show-offs?

Just let it go with the flow, don't deliberately show off, but don't deliberately show weakness. Keep a normal heart, guard against arrogance and impatience, and you can go further.

Lu Heng thought in his heart, and in such a leisurely life, he naturally had another feeling.

The practice of the right way can indeed affect people's mood and thinking, and guide people to be good.

In his previous life, he probably didn't have time to think about these life philosophies.

But in contrast, the practice of the evil way can really make people evil and cruel...

Looking in the direction of the Fire God Temple, Lu Heng sighed for a long time.

Without asking, he knew that the second son of the Wu family was probably having a bad time in the black prison recently.

But the torture didn't last too long, and soon, the second son confessed everything.

He met the evil demon named Madam Qingzhu two years ago. At that time, Madam Qingzhu promised to help him seize the position of the patriarch of the Wu family, but he had to wait for the opportunity.

Until recently, the second son of Wu found the opportunity and notified Madam Qingzhu to come.

As for Madam Qingzhu and the Nether Cave, Master Wu II did not know about it. He did not even know the name of the Qingming Cave.

The agreement between Master Wu II and Madam Qingzhu was that after the matter was completed, the Wu family would help her do something.

But Madam Qingzhu did not tell Master Wu II what to do. The only thing Master Wu II knew was that if he did not accept the agreement at that time, he would be killed.

And if he accepted the agreement, Madam Qingzhu would fully support him and let the Wu family grow faster in Fushan City.

In order to supervise this agreement, Mrs. Qingzhu planted a kind of worm in the body of Mr. Wu.

After examination, the witch doctor at the Fire Temple confirmed that it was the infamous "mind-confusing poison". After taking this poison, Mr. Wu can no longer resist Madam Qingzhu's orders.

For Qingmingku and Madam Qingzhu, if Young Master Wu can take power, they will have a chess piece in Fushan City...

The ins and outs of this incident were quickly escorted and reported to the royal capital by the Second Young Master Wu and his entourage.

Moreover, Wu congratulated Lanzhen for personally escorting the prisoners to the royal capital to avoid accidents on the way.

Before leaving, He Lanzhen said goodbye to Lu Heng. Although she did not explicitly mention the matter of the Netherworld, she thought that after she went to the capital, she would definitely report the matter of the Netherworld to Lian Shanjing.

Then, time passed day by day.

Lu Heng completely settled down in Fushan City, studying the secret techniques obtained from the Fire Temple Library every day.

Huo Feng and the little Gu Diao got to know each other well in Fushan City. The bustling city made Gu Yan so happy that he didn't even want to go back home.

Two months passed quickly.

Lu Heng came to Fushan City in early summer. When he came to his senses now, the weather was already early autumn.

However, He Lanzhen still didn't come back.

During this period, Gu Yan's biological mother, Pangjiang Water God Gu Zhou, came to visit Lu Heng. She wanted to bring the souls of good people who would be introduced to the Water Mansion into the Netherworld. It not only helps Lu Heng build the Netherworld, but also allows those who have died to live for decades longer.

But now Lu Heng cannot separate the power of the Nether Seal and let the souls outside his sight enter the Netherworld.

It's not like he can stay in Pangjiang forever.

So after thinking about it for a long time, Lu Heng finally went to the water palace in Pangjiang River himself and drew out a pool of yellow spring water.

In the future, the souls of those good people introduced to the water house in the ancient Zhou Dynasty can sleep in this yellow spring water first, avoiding the pain of dissipation, and wait for the day when the construction of the Netherworld begins.

Of course, this is all voluntary.

At that time, the ancient Zhou Dynasty will ask the souls of those good people, and those souls who are willing to contribute to the construction of Netherworld can sleep in the pool.

If you don't want to, you can also find shelter in the water house and wait for it to dissipate naturally, avoiding the suffering of wind and sun.

After settling the matter, Lu Heng felt at ease again.

But as time passed day by day, the country leader Lian Shanjing that Lu Heng was waiting for never appeared.

Even He Lanzhen, who said "I'll come back as soon as I go" when saying goodbye, is nowhere to be seen now.

When I inquired about the witch festival in the city, I received the news that a major purge was currently taking place in the Huotong Kingdom.

All major cities are conducting secret searches, trying to identify families like the Wu family that are controlled by Qingming Cave.

The atmosphere was tense.

Lian Shanjing and He Lanzhen are extremely busy now, and they have no time to care about the affairs of the Netherworld for the time being.

Lu Heng waited in the city until the autumnal equinox, but He Lanzhen still didn't come back.

At this time, Lu Heng had already read through the secret techniques he was interested in in the library of Fushan City Fire Temple.

Although there were many remaining letters, Lu Heng was not very interested.

And as the new year is approaching, the South China Sea Shark Country’s Curiosities Conference is about to be held.

Huo Feng is still waiting to go to the South China Sea to find the witch girl for medicine.

Finally, riding on the bleak cool breeze of autumn, Lu Heng, who had not waited for Lian Shanjing, smiled helplessly, and with Xiao Ai, Huo Feng, the little Gu Diao, and the fat bird who had long given up resistance, the group Left Fushan City.

Started the journey south again.

And this time their destination is the overseas countries outside the South China Sea...
