The Fourth Financial Crisis

Ming Zhu originally thought that Yang Lu was just a follower.

Seeing Yang Lu suddenly interrupting him, Mingzhu dusted himself off, stood up, glanced at him, and said coldly: "Who are you?"

Yang Lu cupped his hands very politely and said, "I am Yang Lu, a close disciple of President Li Qingyang."

Hearing that Yang Lu was also a disciple of Li Qingyang, Mingzhu couldn't help but be a little surprised and said: "Are you also a direct disciple of Li Qingyang? Li Qingyang really valued me, and even sent two disciples to visit me after his death!"

Theoretically speaking, Yang Lu is indeed a direct disciple recognized by Li Qingyang, but he is a direct disciple taught by Li Qingyang posthumously. Li Qingyang has not taught him anything at all, not even the "Infinite Heart Sutra - From Beginner to Mastery" ", Li Qingning secretly taught him.

However, even if Yang Lu told the truth now, saying that Li Qingyang had never taught him anything, others (including Wang Ziwei and Xu Yannan) would probably not believe it.

Now everyone thinks that he must be a secret weapon that Li Qingyang has cultivated since he was a child. He came specifically to assist Li Qingning, and then was secretly placed in Haiya City. Even the three giants of the Haiya family think so, otherwise they would be I can't explain why Yang Lu, a homeless man from Haiya City, has such amazing talents and knowledge.

But if you want to say that this is Li Qingyang's plan, then it becomes natural.

And this is precisely the biggest legacy Li Qingyang left to Yang Lu.

Although Yang Lu only has the name of Li Qingyang's student now, no matter how suspicious his behavior is, he only needs to say "this is Li Xingchang's arrangement before his death", and others will easily accept it.

As of today, no one doubts that Yang Lu is a demon from outside the world. It can be said that the invisible endorsement provided by Li Qingyang definitely deserves the most credit.

Facing Mingzhu's questioning at this time, Yang Lu certainly could not blatantly say such a low-EQ statement as "We are actually here to rescue Wang Sandao, we just came to see you because we were on the way."

After apologizing to President Li Qingyang in his heart, he said sincerely: "Old Ancestor Mingzhu, in fact, President Li did not forget about you until his death!"

Since this was not the first time that Yang Lu had used a tiger skin as a banner, his expression was very natural. Wang Ziwei, the only one who could expose him, saw Yang Lu talking nonsense with his eyes open, so he could only nodded with a slightly embarrassed expression. .

After hearing Yang Lu's statement, Mingzhu Ancestor's expression became obviously strange, but in the end he snorted coldly: "Li Qingyang's disciples are the disciples of Lu Yang's dog thief! It seems that Li Qingyang has not told you, What did Lu Yang and the others do back then? He was still bewitched by those three so-called ascended immortals!"

It has been three years since Yang Lu came to the Jiuzhou cultivation world.

Although Jiuzhou cultivators have different opinions on the three Ascended Immortals, Ascension in the Day is after all the highest political correctness in the world of cultivation. Even the monks from the worldly sect who have some criticisms of the Ascended Immortal's behavior will at least show superficial respect. .

Yang Lu had never seen anyone like Patriarch Mingzhu swearing at the Ascended Immortal in public.

This made Yang Lu even more interested in the information Mingzhu had.

After all, the filter of the Ascending Immortal is too powerful, which has led to the Jiuzhou cultivation world to be full of praise for the Ascending Immortal's records, as if these three big guys fart while walking, there must be a deep meaning, and their noses are itchy. Even if you give someone a booger, you may be playing a big game. Even if you implement a policy that kills people, it is for the sake of the overall situation.

However, through the direct or indirect narrations of people related to the Ascending Immortal such as Li Qingning, Li Qingyang, Yuntianhua, and Tian Beixi, Yang Lu was almost 100% sure that the Ascending Immortal was just an ordinary person, at most a very powerful ordinary person.

Although Yang Lu is now able to talk and laugh with the big guys in the cultivation world, he still has not made any progress regarding the questions Li Qingyang left back then and the truth hidden in the historical fog of the cultivation world. Even five hundred years ago, Ma How Tianyi soared during the day, he couldn't find out clearly.

This cannot be blamed on Yang Lu's poor ability to collect intelligence, but people who know the truth seem to be "secret for the sake of the Lord" and remain silent about what happened that year. The information circulating on the market is basically made up by outsiders. Yes, there are countless contradictions. It is a complete waste of time to analyze this information.

The most reliable information Yang Lu has obtained so far is the secret revealed by Yin Huaiyuan, the boss of the late Yuanying period:

Ma Tianyi's ascension in the daytime actually relied on the power of the ancient immortals.

However, even this only reliable information could not be 100% believed by Yang Lu. After all, Yin Huaiyuan did not reveal the source of his intelligence. The most Yang Lu could say was, "Whether he believes it or not, Yin Huaiyuan must have believed it anyway." , otherwise he would not have taken the risk to refine the immortal weapon into his body and torture himself into that state.

Considering that Yin Huaiyuan was not close to the three ascended immortals, with the death of Li Qingyang, there are only a few Nascent Soul stage monks left in the world who have had close communication with the three ascended immortals.

Whether it is Tian Daxiao, the leader of the Shenhuo Sect, Mo Yunlan, the elder of the branch of the Infinite Sword Sect, or Lin Jianxing, the leader of the Infinite Sword Sect, Yang Lu is not someone who can casually pry for information.

And if he can't even decipher the mystery of the ascension of the three ascended immortals five hundred years ago, let alone reveal the ultimate truth hidden behind the history of the world of cultivation.

Fortunately, there are still two old acquaintances of the Ascending Immortal being imprisoned in Qishan Prison today, and unlike other registered disciples/enlightenment immortal masters/junior brothers of the Ascending Immortal, they are generally unwilling to mention what happened back then. Mingzhu and Ascending Immortal The relationship seems to be very bad, and there is no tendency to "keep secrets for the sake of respect" like other Ascended Immortal acquaintances. Maybe they can really tell some information that they have never obtained before.

Seeing the other party's talkative appearance, Yang Lu would certainly not let go of this opportunity to inquire about information.

So he immediately asked: "I would like to ask my ancestors to help me figure out what exactly the Ascending Immortal and the Lingshi Reserve Bank did back then? Why do you have such a big prejudice against the Ascending Immortal?"

"Am I prejudiced against Ascending Immortals?"

Hearing Yang Lu's question, Mingzhu seemed to have heard a big joke and burst out laughing on the spot, making everyone feel puzzled.

After he finally suppressed his laughter, Mingzhu gave an answer that no one expected: "Who do you think the Ascending Immortal is? The world is unkind and treats all things as stupid dogs. In the eyes of the Ascending Immortal, we are Ordinary cultivators are chess pieces! No, saying you are chess pieces is just flattering you. Only Nascent Soul monks are their chess pieces. You ant-like existences can only be regarded as the playthings of immortals at best! You think you are Are cultivators great? Wrong! In the eyes of the Ascended Immortal, you are just toys, just toys that can talk and walk!"

Mentioning the Ascension Immortal, Patriarch Mingzhu's temperament changed.

If Ancestor Mingzhu looked calm in his normal state, when he mentioned the Ascended Immortal, Ancestor Mingzhu burst into a very crazy temperament.
