Sweeping the world

Chapter 6 Invitation

"Yeah, we meet again."

Looking at the tall young man standing in front of him, Chen Ming smiled and said so.

The person in front of him was Lu Liang, who he had met on the training ground before. Because of the training, they chatted there for a while, and the two sides exchanged names, so they knew each other.

"I just met yesterday, and I was still thinking about when the next meeting will be, but I didn't expect to see my junior brother today."

Lu Liang shook his head, looked at Chen Ming and said with a smile.

"There are not too many disciples on Mount Yue, so it shouldn't be unusual for senior brother to see me."

Putting down the clean bowl in his hand, Chen Ming said.

"I'm not like you."

Lu Liang shook his head: "I've already got a family, so I'm often not on the mountain, so naturally I can't see you often."

"The time I met you yesterday was the first time I went up the mountain in the past six months."

"Brother, did something happen to you?" Fang Jia interjected while looking at Lu Liang in front of him.

"Something did happen."

Lu Liang nodded: "But it's not a big deal, I can handle it."

When he spoke, he had a smile on his face, and his expression always looked calm, the same as before.

Taking advantage of the meal time, they chatted slowly here, Lu Liang described everything down the mountain, Fang Jia described the recent changes on Yue Mountain, and the atmosphere present was quite harmonious for a while.

During their conversation, Chen Ming also learned something.

Lu Liang in front of him was running an escort agency outside, and he usually encountered various accidents when he was an escort.

Most of the things are not bad, and Lu Liang can solve them by himself, but sometimes even he finds some things troublesome, so he will go to Yueshan and ask his master to send people to help.

This time Luliang went up the mountain because of this.

"Is the world outside in chaos?"

Sitting next to the two of them, listening to their conversation, Chen Ming couldn't help but interjected.

"It's more than chaos..."

Lu Liang couldn't help sighing, with a tired face on his face: "Natural disasters and man-made disasters, robbers everywhere, ghosts and demons rampant, all kinds of things are so outrageous that it is almost impossible to live."

"I've been running darts outside these years. I've seen cannibals and bandits who kill like wild people. Once, I even almost stepped into an ancient temple occupied by evil spirits. There are a group of moving skeletons inside."

"A moving skeleton?"

Hearing this, Chen Ming almost thought he heard it wrong, and asked again in disbelief.

"That's right, it's a moving skeleton."

As if thinking of something, Lu Liang smiled wryly, with some fear in his face: "These are evil spirits, they can be found everywhere, and for ordinary people, once they encounter them, they are basically dead."

"I was lucky that time. Because of some things, I didn't step into that ancient temple in the end. Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to see me today."

With a wry smile on his face, he seemed to still have lingering fears about what happened that time.

Seeing Lu Liang's appearance, Chen Ming fell into silence.

As early as when he first came to this world, he knew that the world was a mess, but he didn't expect it to be so terrifying.

A moving skeleton already belongs to the supernatural category.

"Like this kind of thing. Does the court not care?"

After a long silence, Chen Ming spoke again.

"Court."

Lu Liang raised his head, was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile: "I can't handle it."

"There are too many similar things in the 72 states. With the strength of the imperial court, even if all the masters come out together, they can't level up all the places in the world. They can only barely maintain the situation."

He smiled bitterly and said, "It's not bad as it is now. Although the world is a bit dangerous, at least it's passable."

"Ten years ago, it was called horror."

He recalled it, and then said: "Ten years ago, Nanshengmen rebelled, and the master of Nanshengmen raised his arm, and the eighteen states in the south were corrupted. It took three years to calm down."

"And in these three years, more than [-] people died? Those so-called robbers and evil spirits are nothing compared to this."

Hearing this, Chen Ming also fell into silence.

When order still exists, even if life is difficult, the people can live on.And when the most basic order also collapses, the casualties will be more serious than all tyranny.

The history of previous lives has already verified this truth time and time again, and it is the same in this world.

"In fact, the law and order in most places is still good."

In front of him, after a long silence, Lu Liang smiled again and said, "When the emperor is in power today, he has worked hard to rule the country in recent years, and incidents such as bandits have decreased a lot in these years."

"As for those evil spirits, although they are terrifying and difficult to deal with, except for a few particularly powerful ones, not many people actually died."

He sighed and said: "Because it is easy to die, the places where evil spirits occur are often easily turned into various forbidden places. Coupled with the government's seal and inspection, no one will go to die over time."

"The real danger of Xiemei is when it just starts to happen."

He didn't know what he thought of, but he suddenly fell silent and didn't continue to speak.

Chen Ming didn't care, he just got up silently, said something to Lu Liang in front of him, and then prepared to walk out.

"correct."

At this time, seeing Chen Ming got up and was about to leave, Lu Liang said seemingly unintentionally: "I see that you are carrying a knife on your back, junior brother, and you must be a good hand. Why don't you come down the mountain with me?"

"Staying on this big Yueshan, although it is clean, but after all, it lacks some experience. Why don't you go down the mountain and gain some knowledge for your brother?"

"Senior Brother Lu, Chang'an, he just went up the mountain to practice martial arts!"

Hearing what Lu Liang said, Fang Jia on the side quickly spoke.

"Just practiced martial arts?"

Lu Liang was a little surprised, but looking at Chen Ming in front of him, he still said: "I just practiced martial arts. It doesn't matter. Is it okay for my brother to let Chang An personally fight the enemy?"

"If Chang'an is interested, just watch from the sidelines, just to gain knowledge for my brother."

With a friendly smile on his face, he seemed to speak very enthusiastically.

Chen Ming was a little surprised.

If the other party didn't know that he had just practiced martial arts, they might think he was a good player, and it would not be surprising to recruit him into the group. But since the other party knew that he had just practiced martial arts, why was he still so enthusiastic?
Standing in place, quietly feeling the other party's gaze, Chen Ming suddenly felt something was wrong.

The other party's gaze didn't seem to be looking at him, but at the long black knife hanging on his waist.

The black long knife was closed with a scabbard, hanging on Chen Ming's waist like this at the moment, it looked quite conspicuous.

Immediately, he realized something in his heart, and then smiled, and directly refused, saying: "Senior Brother is kind, and Junior Brother appreciates it, but Junior Brother still has some homework to review recently, so I won't go down the mountain with Senior Brother."

Although Yueshan was a bit boring, at least it was quiet enough and safe enough.And if he followed Lu Liang down the mountain, he didn't know what would happen to him in the end.

Moreover, Chen Ming has not forgotten the death of the original body.

Before coming to Yueshan, Chen Qizhi emphasized several times that he was still listening to the admonition not to go down the mountain if he had nothing to do. Naturally, he couldn't just leave it in a safe place and insist on going down the mountain to die.

"So, whatever."

Seeing Chen Ming's refusal, Lu Liang was not disappointed, he just smiled and said: "I will stay on the mountain for a long time, during this time, if the younger brother changes his mind, you might as well come to me."

"sure."

Chen Ming agreed casually, but without hesitation, he greased his feet and slipped away, walking directly to the outside of the dining hall, without the slightest intention of staying here.

After his figure completely disappeared, Fang Jia finally couldn't help but speak at the same place.

"Brother, you know that Chang'an is just a student of the Academy of Arts, why did you ask him to go down the mountain?"

She looked at Lu Liang and couldn't help asking, with some dissatisfaction on her face.

"Junior Sister Fang, you don't understand."

Sighing lightly, Lu Liang said, "Did you see the knife on Junior Brother Chen's waist?"

"Knife?" Fang Jia was taken aback.

"That knife belongs to Elder Lu."

"You also said before that Junior Brother Chen and Elder Lu are as close as nephews."

Without waiting for Fang Jia to speak, he continued: "Even if Junior Brother Chen goes down the mountain, he will definitely stay by my side and there will be no danger. But with the relationship between Elder Lu and Junior Brother Chen, as long as Junior Brother Chen is by my side, Elder Lu will definitely stay by my side. At that time, it will probably not be ignored.”

"Whether Elder Lu takes action himself or orders other people to help, the troubles on my side can be easily resolved."

"Besides, even if Elder Lu didn't make a move in the end, I won't lose at all."

In the same place, Lu Liang looked at Fang Jia in front of him, and said in a tone full of deep meaning.

Of course he won't lose.

During this period of time, he also had some understanding of some things on the mountain.

On the surface, Chen Ming is just an ordinary student of the Academy of Arts, but in fact, his identity is not simple.

He is not only Lu Qi's nephew, but also the only legitimate son of the current Patriarch of the Chen family. He has a noble status, and if there is no accident in the future, he will probably inherit the entire Chen family.

People like this, if they are put outside, how many people will want to curry favor with them.

Although Lu Liang was not willing to flatter, he was willing to make a good relationship with such people.

on the other side.

Back in the small courtyard where he was, Chen Ming was about to read a book for a while, but in the end he couldn't help but froze.

Source power: 1.83.

Martial arts: Linyuan knife technique (can be improved).

"How did it increase so much?"

Seeing the source of strength growing on his body, Chen Ming was stunned.
