Chapter 1053 The Third Clone

Let’s talk about myself later, Lu Cheng.

He hid in the Hongmeng Pearl and was thrown to Earth by Lu Chan in the late Qing Dynasty.

The year 1840 was the beginning of a century of catastrophe for the Chinese nation, and it was also the era of decline in the aura of the Kyushu continent.

Lu Cheng absorbed the Hongmeng Qi from the smashed half of the jade disk of creation, opened up a small world at the Dazhui point on the back of his neck, then cut out a trace of the soul, released it from the Hongmeng Pearl, threw it into his mother's womb, and recreated the clone.

This clone is named "Lu Kang".The same name as Lu Xun’s son during the Three Kingdoms period.At that time, Lu Kang served as a captain of the Jianwu School and a general of the Zhenjun Army, and he was also regarded as a historical celebrity.

Lu Cheng's alter ego, Lu Kang, was born in Xingcun on the edge of Jiuqu River in Wuyi Mountain, Fujian.

Xingcun is called a village in name, but is actually a township.

The people here are very wealthy and make their fortune mainly through the tea business.

As early as the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty (1821-1850), Xu Jing's "Yagetang Ji", Volume [-], Shangzhifu proposed a ban on growing tea, and wrote, "At that time, the Jianren people used the crops produced by Wuyi to spread to Guangdong, and there were very few of them. Later, the Cantonese people were gathered in Xingcun, and the city connected to the ocean was driven by Wuyi. All the property built by the subordinates was lost to Wuyi."The foreign wealth of the people of Xingcun comes from the foreign trade of tea.

In its heyday, there were nearly a thousand tea shops and tea houses in Xingcun. The large tea shops had more than a hundred carbon baking caves, and the small tea houses had more than thirty baking caves. Tens of thousands of baking caves were roasting tea at the same time, and the tea produced was The fragrance floats with the wind for miles, giving people who go to Xingcun a feeling of smelling the fragrance of tea before they even see Xingcun.

There was a proverb at that time: "Tea will not be fragrant if it does not reach Xingcun, and medicine will not be effective if it does not reach the camphor tree."This proverb explains the two major trading centers in the Qing Dynasty. Xingcun Town in Fujian was a tea distribution center, and Zhangshu Town in Jiangxi was a medicinal materials trading center.

At that time, there were many restaurants, inns, and tea shops in Xingcun, and they were brightly lit at night. It was called "Little Hangzhou".

Robert Fortune, a British botanist who brought Wuyi tea making techniques and Wuyi tea varieties to India, described in his travel notes: “Xingcun is a small town built on the bank of a tributary of the Min River. The stream divides Wuyi Mountain into two parts, the north and the south, and also divides the town into two halves. A bridge in the middle connects them. There are many inns, restaurants and tea shops in the town for tea merchants and porters who come here. Settlement. A large amount of tea produced in the surrounding mountains is transported here for trading, and then sent to Chong'an County and transported over Wuyi Mountain to the mouth of the river."

The family into which Lu Kang was born was a medium-sized tea merchant with hundreds of acres of tea gardens on Wuyi Mountain.

The reason why Lu Cheng placed his clone here was because he did not want to interfere with the historical process and could not bear to see the dire straits of the people in the city, so he simply hid in the mountains to enjoy peace and quiet.There is also a thin aura in Wuyi Mountain, which is much better than the turbid air in the city.

The Chinese nation is destined to experience hardships. Only after experiencing enough hardships can it unite people's hearts and rise from the ashes. This process does not require Lu Cheng's intervention.

Lu Cheng came here just to hide for a while and avoid the detection of ancestor Hongjun. There was no need to create any big problems.

Lu Kang's father was named "Lu Yunshang". He passed the examination as a scholar when he was young. After that, he failed to pass the examination many times, so he inherited the family business and became a tea merchant.His mother's name is "Wang Wanying", she comes from a wealthy businessman's family, and she can only be regarded as slightly literate.

Wang Wanying gave birth to four sons and three daughters, and Lu Kang was her third son.In comparison, she prefers her eldest son and youngest son, and is not very interested in Lu Kang.

Although Lu Yunshang treated his sons equally, Lu Kang did not seek advancement or study. He was quiet and had a low sense of presence, so it was difficult to please him.

Lu Kang is the reincarnation of the Immortal Emperor. He has a master's degree in acupuncture and a doctorate in mathematics. He does not need to study to take the imperial examination, and he does not want to go into business to make money.These things were boring to him.

However, since he was born here, he owes him cause and effect, so he cannot be cold-hearted.

Since you owe a debt, you must pay it back.

More than ten years passed quickly, and Lu Kang was 13 years old. He left the relatively prosperous Xingcun and moved to the wilderness, living in seclusion near the Lu family tea garden.There are many tea gardens scattered on the mountains dozens of miles away from Xingcun. There are some thatched houses there, which were originally used for farmers who were attached to the Lu family.

After the deity Lu Cheng attained enlightenment and became a saint, he could completely control the opening and closing of the Hongmeng Pearl and would not reveal too much immortal spiritual energy.There are thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in Hongmeng Pearl, and many kinds of fairy tea trees are planted there.

Lu Cheng gave a fairy tea tree and young Lu Kang planted it in the tea garden; he also took out some gold and silver and asked Lu Kang to renovate the courtyard; he also gave a fairy jade ball and asked Lu Kang to bury it in the tea garden. Evolved into fairy spirit veins, so that the fairy tea tree can grow and multiply.

Five years passed in the blink of an eye, and Lu Kang and his parents remembered that they still had such a son, and prepared to arrange a marriage for him.

After Lu Kang heard the news, he simply left the manor, entered Wuyi Palace, and became a Taoist priest.

Wuyi Palace was built during the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty and is the oldest palace in Wuyi Mountain.Located at the southern foot of Dawang Peak, facing the mouth of Jiuqu River, it is the place where emperors of all dynasties worshiped Lord Wuyi.The poet Xin Qiji of the Southern Song Dynasty, the poet Lu You, the Neo-Confucianists Liu Zijun and Zhu Xi all came here.There are two osmanthus trees in the courtyard of the main hall of Wuyi Palace, which are ancient trees left over from the Song Dynasty.

Lu Kang worked as a Taoist priest in Wuyi Palace for more than 20 years. He did not come down from the mountain until he was 45 years old and became the true king of Buxu.

At this time, his parents were still in Jian, and they were both over seventy years old. They had four generations living under the same roof and had many descendants. The family had made a fortune relying on that fairy tea tree and the fairy spirit veins buried in the tea garden, and became a family of people far and wide. The famous home of the Tea Saint.

Lu Kang went home to visit his parents and left them life-prolonging elixirs with the intention of letting them live past 150 years.

However, Lu Yunshang and Wang Wanying did not have deep feelings for their son, and did not take the pills he provided to heart.Those brothers and sisters didn't care even more, and even regarded Lu Kang as a negative example of escaping from the world and being indolent.

They didn't know that the tea trees in the tea garden grew very luxuriantly because Lu Kang had transformed the earth's veins.

They had a talk with Lu Kang and taught him earnestly for a while, saying that it was not too late to leave the mountain at the age of 40 and that he could still marry, have children and raise the next generation.

Lu Kang just smiled and said nothing, and then he went to settle in a village near the tea garden.

Twenty years later, my parents, who were over ninety years old and had no illness or disaster, suddenly passed away.

Lu Kangxiu became the True Lord of Hedao, rushed back in time, wrapped the coffin with spiritual talismans, protected the two souls, and sent them into the underworld.

Lu Pian, the judge of Yama Hall, saw a hint of saintliness in the talismans above the two men's heads. He was suddenly shocked and entered them in the Book of Life and Death himself. Without letting them drink Meng Po's tea, he sent them to the human world and reincarnated them.

Another 20 years later, a young man and woman came outside the door of the Lu family manor, claiming to be the late Lu Yunshang and Wang Wanying. However, the descendants of the Lu family thought they were liars and refused to receive them.

The young man and woman came to the village next to the tea garden and were shocked to see the 85-year-old Taoist priest Lu Kang, who did not look old at all and still looked like he was 30 years old.

"Son, why are you getting younger and younger as you live?"

This is 1925.Lu Kang's brothers and sisters were all dead.Some descendants of the Lu family left Xingcun and went to Fuzhou, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, and Shanghai to do business. Due to social unrest, business was not easy to do. The head of the family sent a batch of tea to Europe. As a result, the ship was robbed by pirates in Nanyang. The Lu family After losing a lot of money, I thought of selling part of the tea garden.

Lu Kang invested money to buy the tea garden with the fairy tea trees and handed it over to the reincarnated Lu Yunshang and Wang Wanying to take care of it.

More than ten years later, Lu Yunshang made a comeback and became a famous local tea merchant again.

From 1941 to 1944, the Japanese army captured Fuzhou twice, but they were never able to occupy Wuyi Mountain. One of the reasons was that Lu Kang, a half-immortal, was stationed at Jiuqu River.

On September 1949, 9, Lu Kang finally became a Xuanxian. On the day before the founding of the People's Republic of China, he took out the "Time Disk", tore apart time and space and flew away.
