Chapter 2 Back Mountain Bamboo Forest

As the saying goes, once you enter the Houmen, it is as deep as the sea.

Although the Lu family is not a royal family, it is also a big family in the empire. However, in a big family, there are countless red tapes, which are unimaginable.For example, the concubine could not practice physical skills, inherit the family's fief, could not live with the illegitimate sons, and could not even sit down with the illegitimate sons at meals.

The area of ​​the Lu Mansion is huge, and people with different identities live in different places. The patriarch and his wife live in the most unique courtyard in the east, while the housekeeper and servant live in the southernmost courtyard. The south is where the family army lives daily. A place to rest from training.The north is the most deserted, and there are no decent houses. At a glance, they are all thatched houses, where servants with no status live.

Lu Yang and his mother live here, that is to say, their status is not much different from that of servants.

To put it mildly, Lu Yang is the concubine of the Lu family. To put it bluntly, their mother and son are actually abandoned by the family.

Lu Zhentian has always been in charge of the family's major affairs, and he has almost never asked about the small matters in the mansion. Over the years, the main wife and the peace wife have been discussing the management.However, Lu Zhentian is irresponsible, it's not that he doesn't know where people of different identities in the family live. When he thinks of how dilapidated the thatched cottage in the far north is, he immediately feels compassion.

In any case, Lu Yang is also his son, and they cannot be allowed to continue living there.

This thought flashed through his mind. Seeing that Lu Yang was weak and his face was slightly pale, Lu Zhentian knew what was going on. He turned and glanced at Lu Tao and the others who hadn't left, and said sharply, "Although Lu Yang He is a bastard, but he is also my son, Lu Zhentian, if you bully him again in the future, you will definitely be punished severely..."

Having said that, Lu Zhentian paused, looked at Lu Tao again, and said word by word: "Lu Tao, you are the eldest son of the family and the heir of the future family. I don't need to ask about the things you do on weekdays, but I have to remind you, if you want to inherit the family business, you must maintain the relationship between brothers, otherwise, you will lose the opportunity to inherit the family business."

Lu Tao's face darkened. He knew that his father was really angry this time, so he quickly lowered his head and said, "Father, I know I made a mistake, and I won't make such a mistake again in the future."

The rest of the sons secretly laughed, as long as Lu Tao made a mistake, they would have the opportunity to inherit the family business.

Lu Zhentian nodded, then looked at the other aunts, and said sharply, "What about you! Don't you have anything to say?"

"I will take this as a warning and remember my father's teachings." All the sons said in unison.

Lu Zhentian was silent for a while, then waved his hands and said, "You guys go first! I still have something to talk to Lu Yang about."

"Yes, father." Everyone turned to leave, but the moment they turned around, Lu Tao glared at Lu Yang, with a murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Although Lu Tao is the eldest son in the family, he is a dandy disciple, spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, ignorant and ignorant.He considers himself noble, not to mention looking down on a concubine like Lu Yang, even the rest of the concubines are ignored by him.This time because Lu Yang was scolded by his father, Lu Tao couldn't swallow it at all, and said in his heart: "Little waste, you wait for me, one day I will kill you."

Lu Zhentian glanced at Lu Yang, and said, "Go, I'll take you to a place." After speaking, he grabbed Lu Yang, stepped forward, and ran forward at an astonishing speed.

In a blink of an eye, Lu Zhentian brought Lu Yang to the northernmost back mountain of the mansion.

The back mountain is not high, only a thousand feet, standing on the top of the mountain, you can vaguely see the thatched houses at the foot of the mountain.

Lu Zhentian put Lu Yang down, looked at the row after row of huts, and felt very uncomfortable. He sighed a long time, and said, "Lu Yang, have you two been doing well these years?"

Lu Yang looked up at his father, moved his mouth, but didn't say a word.

"Don't be afraid, just tell me what you have. After all, you are my son, and I will give you an explanation." Lu Zhentian's sharp eyes became kind, and he already regarded Lu Yang as his own child.

"Father." Lu Yang felt that he had to say something, and said, "Mother said that she didn't blame you for what happened back then. If you hadn't saved her, she would have died long ago..."

The past 14 years ago slowly flashed through his mind. Lu Zhentian remembered the night when he rescued Su Rui, and when he returned to the mansion, something seemed to have happened because of a drunk.But later, because of some family affairs, Lu Zhentian delayed Su Rui's affairs and never went to find her.Later, he actually forgot that he had saved such a young girl.

Lu Zhentian stroked Lu Yang's head, and said guiltily, "Father is not good. He didn't take good care of your mother and child. If you want, I can..."

Lu Yang shook his head and said in a childish voice: "Father, mother knew that one day we would talk alone, she asked me to tell you that she would not make things difficult for you, and she did not want to live with those regular wives. If possible, she hopes that in the future Leave the mansion and live a simple life."

"Leave the mansion and live a simple life." Lu Zhentian frowned, remained silent, and said for a long time, "After all, you are from the Lu family. Although I am the patriarch of the Lu family, I cannot decide everything in the family. There are elders in the family, they will not agree with you leaving the mansion together..."

Lu Yang stared at his father, and asked back: "Birth is a member of the family, and death is the ghost of the family?"

An immature child said words that were not similar to his age, and the vicissitudes in the words made people feel very uncomfortable.

Lu Zhentian was slightly startled, shook his head and smiled wryly: "Your mother told you these words! Unexpectedly, you know so much at such a young age. Yes, according to the family rules, you really can't leave the family's fief area, But I can help you once, it depends on whether you work hard or not."

"Help me?" Lu Yang asked hastily, "How to help me?"

Lu Zhentian didn't answer his words, but asked instead: "I ask you, why did you appear in the woods outside the training ground?"

"I, I..." Lu Yang murmured and did not answer. He knew the family rules, bastards were not allowed to practice physical skills, and if caught, they would be severely punished.He once heard that a servant was beaten into a cripple after sneaking a peek at it because he was curious about practicing physical skills.

Lu Zhentian smiled slightly, and then said slowly: "Even if you don't tell me, I know what you are doing, tell me, do you want to practice physical skills?"

Lu Yang always wanted to practice physical skills in his dreams. As long as he became stronger, he could break away from the shackles of the family, and blurted out: "I want to."

Lu Zhentian nodded and continued: "Since you want to practice, I will give you a chance. If you can cultivate your physical skills to a level that is not weak, you can learn orthodox cultivation methods with your family disciples in the future. If you can If you practice physical skills to the limit, you will have a chance to cultivate immortals, and you will join the sect of the immortal family and become a real immortal cultivator."

"Cultivators of Immortals." A gleam flashed in Lu Yang's eyes, and he couldn't help asking, "Father, are there really cultivators of Immortals in this world?"

A look of yearning flashed in Lu Zhentian's eyes, and then it dimmed. He sighed and said, "Yes, there are indeed immortal cultivators in this world. They are so powerful that they can destroy a city with a single gesture. Back then, I also dreamed of becoming a cultivator. However, he was eliminated at the last moment, hey..."

Lu Yang clenched his fists tightly and said resolutely: "Father, I will definitely work hard to cultivate, no matter how much the price is, I will do it."

Hearing his son's words, Lu Zhentian's face was full of relief, and said: "I was like you when I was young. I paid a huge price to become an immortal cultivator. I believe you will be able to." He paused, and then He continued: "That's good, you come here to find me every morning, and I will teach you some physical training methods."

"Father, I will definitely come on time." Lu Yang said in a calm voice.

Lu Zhentian nodded, took out a jade pendant from his bosom, and handed it to Lu Yang: "You take this jade pendant with you, and if anyone obstructs you, you can show it. As long as you don't leave the mansion, you can go to any place other than the library." After finishing speaking, he thought of something, and said again: "Okay, I still have some things to do, I have to go, see you in the mountains tomorrow morning."

Lu Zhentian glanced at Lu Yang, stepped forward, and flew down the mountain.

Over the top of the mountain, Lu Zhentian's voice echoed, "Lu Yang, your body is too weak, you should climb the mountain when you have nothing to do to strengthen your body..."

At this moment, Lu Yang had a new goal. He knew what he was going to do in the future. He clenched his fists and walked down the mountain step by step.As the saying goes, it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down the mountain. It took Lu Yang nearly an hour to reach the foot of the mountain that is a thousand feet high.Seeing the two guards holding long spears standing in front of the bamboo forest not far away, Lu Yang walked over without hesitation.

These two guards looked to be in their 20s, wearing black armor, they were all guards trained in the Lu Mansion, their cultivation was not low, and they had already reached the peak of the Xuan rank, the Dzogchen realm.The two guard here to prevent anyone from going to the back mountain, because the back mountain is the place where the patriarch of the family cultivates alone, and no one is allowed to go there without the patriarch's order.

Ordinary people who want to cultivate immortals must first cultivate their physique, and there are four levels of physical strength.

Divided according to the Xuanhuang of heaven and earth, the weakest is the yellow rank, and the strongest is the heaven rank.And each level is divided into early stage, middle stage, late stage, and Dzogchen realm.If one can cultivate to the level of Heavenly Dzogchen, one will have the opportunity to join the sect of cultivating immortals and become a true cultivator of immortals.

As soon as Lu Yang walked outside the bamboo forest, two guards found him, and one of them shouted, "Who is it?"

If it was before, Lu Yang would definitely retreat. Now that he has the jade pendant given by his father, he doesn't worry about the two embarrassing him at all.

The two guards suddenly turned around. When they saw Lu Yang, they were stunned for a moment, and then one of them sarcastically said: "I said who is hiding in the bamboo forest! It turned out to be the Ninth Young Master. My subordinates dare to ask, does the Ninth Young Master know this?" Where is it? Entering the bamboo forest without permission, what are the consequences?"
