I'm the one running the game

Lu Xingshi never expected that this was how the other party's fake method came about. For a moment, he didn't know whether to comfort or laugh at the other party.

And spending ten thousand taels to buy it is indeed outrageous.

All I can say is that he is worthy of being the prince of the royal family. Even if he is not favored, he will take out ten thousand taels without blinking an eye.

"Taoist Master, do you think it's still too late for me to practice Taoism now?" Gao Zheng quickly adjusted his mentality. It doesn't matter if he bought a fake. There is a real one in front of him. Just ask Lu Xingshi for a copy.

"You can come in time, but the current world may not be suitable for practicing Taoism."

"You know the evil world of the Five Turbidities, it is getting more and more terrible now. If a cultivator does not learn from a famous family, it will be difficult to get ahead." Lu Xingshi declined the other party tactfully.

Judging from the other party's intention, he just wants to become a disciple of Lu Xingshi. As for actually giving him a copy? That is impossible.

What if something goes wrong? Lu Xingshi must be jointly and severally liable.

"This..." Gao Zheng hesitated. Of course he knew about the Five Turbid World, and even what happened in the capital some time ago.

What's more important is that he can see that Lu Xingshi doesn't really want to give it to him.

Seeing this, he couldn't force Lu Xingshi, so he changed the subject: "What the Taoist said is true. There is no urgency in cultivating the Tao. It is more important for the Taoist to come to Zhuangzi to kill demons."

Gao Zheng is a man who prefers to advance before retreating. He will first build a closer relationship by slaying demons, and then he will ask Lu Xingshi for the secret. Due to love, he will give it even if the other party refuses to give it.

It can be regarded as indirect moral kidnapping, but this kind of moral kidnapping will not be too disgusting.

After all, we all have a close relationship, so it’s not a big deal to give you a hand.

"Taoist Master has been here for a while, but I wonder what clues he found?" Gao Zheng asked impatiently.

"No, this evildoer is very profound. I only know that he is in Zhuangzi, but I don't know who he is or where he is." Lu Xingshi really didn't know.

If you want to know, either open a large account or investigate on your own.

However, after opening a large account, the exploration time will inevitably be squeezed into the battle time. By then, I am afraid that I will not be able to kill the enemy, and the time to invite immortals will have passed.

Gao Zheng looked stunned. When he heard Lu Xingshi's words, he knew that he was in big trouble.

"I wonder how advanced this evildoer's path is?" Gao Zheng felt that if it was too high, he would not need the method, and he could run away immediately.

"If you really want to say it, he is as high as the sky." The description given by Lu Xingshi is still very reasonable. For immortals, it is normal for Taoists to be as high as the sky, otherwise how would the other person become an immortal.

When Gao Zheng heard this, he came back to his senses and said, "The Taoist Master is really good at joking. How can you and I be able to deal with such a Taoist being as high as the sky?"

If the sky is so high, they are not immortals. How can they face the immortals?

"What the prince said is absolutely true. The evil world with five turbidities is harmful to people." Lu Xingshi sighed and did not argue with Gao Zheng. It didn't matter whether the other party believed it or not. Anyway, from the beginning to the end, Gao Zheng was just an addendum.

After the two sides chatted for a while, Gao Zheng felt more and more strange as they talked. If Lu Xingshi had real abilities, he must have.

But his words made him feel like he was boasting.

‘Could it be a silver pewter spear head? ’ Gao Zheng had such an idea in his mind.

So I tried a few more words, and I felt more and more like this.

This feeling is naturally caused by the fact that Gao Zheng is not only a layman, but also knows little about it, and has also been misled by fakes.

In fact, it was his direct knowledge reserve and inability to understand, plus as the crown prince, even if he was not favored, his father, Prince Zhong, was not a little prince, so he was the center of attention wherever he went.

This is what caused him to feel this way.

Lu Xingshi corrected his mistake, and the subconsciousness brought by his identity told him, I have been practicing hard for more than ten years, but I can't compare to you?

Even if what you repair is fake.

After having this feeling, his sense of Lu Xingshi became much colder.

"I'll stop nagging Taoist priest. If you need help with anything, go to Li Laosan. He can help you." After Gao Zheng finished speaking, he stood up and left.

Lu Xingshi naturally noticed the change in the other party's attitude. He couldn't understand it, but he didn't push it too hard.

"Isn't it because I don't do things for him that he becomes indifferent to me?" Lu Xingshi muttered.

Gao Zheng's situation was recalled in his mind.

"There's still something wrong." Lu Xingshi couldn't find what was wrong for a while.

Lu Xingshi did not think further, but directly began to monitor Gao Zheng directly with the mysterious light technique formed by taking the moon.

Since you feel something is wrong with the other party, don't look for any evidence or investigate. Monitoring is more useful than anything else.

"The premonition of Meng Tou's Earthly Evil Dao Fruit is indeed good, especially with the blessing of the divine power."

This is the second time Meng Tou has received an increase. The first time was due to the number of stars and the Earth Evil Fruit of the Shoot Over Series, and the second time was due to Divine Movement.

Shenxing is also a core type of Earthly Evil Dao Fruit that can connect most Dao Fruits.

In fact, it is somewhat inappropriate to use Shen Xing as the name. It can be changed to Yuan Shen or Yang Shen.

…

Gao Zheng returned to Jiangyin Mansion in a carriage, still thinking about Lu Xingshi in his mind.

"It's very difficult to get the Dharma from this Taoist. You don't want to eat salt and oil, and you don't want to eat hard or soft." Gao Zheng looked helpless.

In his eyes, Lu Xingshi was indeed a silver-like pewter spearhead, but no matter how bad it was, it was still a spearhead, and he was just a stick. Naturally, he wanted to go further.

"The more evil the world is, the more you need magic skills."

"You still say it's not a good world, haha."

Gao Zheng looked very disdainful. Did he really think he was a fool? Now that he has lost the protection of the dynasty, how can the human race be a match for the demons and monsters?

The only way to protect oneself is to master magic skills.

With the arrival of the evil world, people's hearts have changed.

Before, there were immortals, the protection of the dynasty, and the existence of cultivators. Even in the evil world, demons and monsters could not cause chaos in the world.

It's different now. Immortals have disappeared, the protection of the dynasty has disappeared, and the cultivators have been killed by a previous Emperor Zhao.

The world has completely lost its military protection.

This makes Gao Zheng want to obtain magic skills even more.

"If I succeed in cultivation and get the position of Prince Zhong, it is not impossible for me to get a glimpse of the position of the emperor in the future." Gao Zheng's eyes showed ambition.

The current throne is indeed a position that is hated by everyone, but those emperors who came to the throne were ordinary people. If he was a cultivator, how could he be afraid of a small curse?

"The eternal emperor..."

Thinking of this, he knew that he had to obtain the cultivation method in Lu Xingshi's hand, otherwise he would not know if he could meet it again in the future if he lost this opportunity.

After all, most cultivators died. It was so difficult when he was in the capital, not to mention that it is even more difficult now in a remote place like Jiangyin Prefecture.

The carriage returned to the Prince Zhong's Mansion in Jiangyin Prefecture. As a prince, he must live in the prince's mansion.

This is his father's fiefdom. Although he has never lived there, the supporting buildings and facilities are very complete, and there are special people to maintain it every day.

After all, he is also a member of the royal family, not the kind of member who is down and out or has been a branch for many generations, so there is no need to worry about the treatment.

With complicated thoughts in his mind, Gao Zheng couldn't sleep at night.

Dong, dong, dong~

Suddenly, there was a regular knock on the door. Gao Zheng, who was irritated, stood up and shouted with an ugly look: "Who is making noise at night?"

Calculating the time, it was already after midnight. Except for those who were on duty at the gate and patrol, everyone was asleep.

Even if they were not asleep, they would not knock on his door.

Of course, if there was an emergency, they would definitely not knock so regularly. They would only knock very quickly and vigorously, accompanied by shouting.

"Hehehe, an old friend is visiting, why is the prince avoiding him?" A slightly obscene old man's voice came in.

This made Gao Zheng shudder. He recognized this voice. It was the old man who cheated him of 10,000 taels of silver to buy a fake book.

'Could it be... not a liar? '

The first reaction in Gao Zheng's mind was this. If he could enter the palace quietly, who else could he be if not a cultivator?

More importantly, the old man was already old a dozen years ago, at least seventy or eighty years old. Now, more than a decade has passed, even if he is not a hundred years old, he is nearly ninety.

If the other party is not a cultivator, he is already very old, how can he enter the house?

"Master, you misunderstood. I will open the door to welcome you after I change my clothes and wash up." Gao Zheng spoke at the first time.

But he suddenly felt a chill on his body, thinking that it was the cold night air, and he was accidentally startled.

But he moved quickly, and opened the door as soon as he put on his clothes.

More than a decade has passed, although his memory is a little fuzzy, but he recognized the other party at a glance, and the other party's appearance has not changed at all.

Respectfully welcomed him into the house, and then said: "Master, you have come from afar, but do you have something to teach me?"

When he saw the other party, Gao Zheng had completely denied what Lu Xingshi had said before.

Fake? It's just that the other party has no eyes to recognize the true method. He can't enter the Tao when he encounters the Tao, but he has not yet comprehended the true method, so he has not been able to enter the Tao.

"Yes..." The old man's tone changed from vulgar to stiff.

Gao Zheng also felt that the weather was getting colder and colder. Could it be that the temperature dropped at night?

He looked at the old man again and was almost scared out of his wits.

His face was as pale as a dead person, and there was a kind of coldness coming out of his body.

When he was about to ask, he found that the old man's skin began to sag, as if it had turned into some kind of wax.

Gao Zheng couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Now he seemed to understand what he had invited into the house.

It was the monster that Lu Xingshi came to exorcise demons. The monster did not stay in the manor, but followed him back.

"Do you think I look like a god or an immortal?" The old man spoke again, and while stiff, he exhaled a severe cold that made Gao Zheng shiver.
