Asking About Longevity Chapter 483

Chapter 483 Beasts

 Lu Ming starts with the ancestor of the Lu family.

Although he is a disciple of the Lu family, he is relatively marginal, not very old, and has little experience. He has not inquired about these secrets and does not know them. It is a bit difficult to talk about them at this time:

“It's a bit disrespectful to say this, but... my ancestor was extravagant and extravagant, and a bit... lustful..."

 Ink painting knows this.

Many of the brothels on Jinhua Street were built by "Lu Peipi" for the purpose of indulgence and pleasure.

 But there are others that even ink paintings don't know about…

Lu Ming whispered: "It is said...that the ancestor would not even let the women of his family go..."

Mo Hua was stunned, "Female from the family? Lu family?"

Lu Ming nodded shyly.

"Then what?"

Lu Ming was at a loss for words. He hesitated for a long time, then lowered his voice and said:

“It is said that any beautiful female disciple of the Lu family, whether direct or descendant, perfect jade or married woman, will be tainted by...the ancestor..."

Mo Hua's eyelids jumped when he heard this.

 Can such a thing be possible?

 He should not be called "Lu Peipi", he should be called "Land Beast"...

“Of course, these are just rumors...not necessarily true.”

Lu Ming was a little unsure, but he still tried his best to save the face of his ancestor:

 “My ancestor is harsh, and it is possible for others to hate me, spread rumors and slander me, and say dirty things…”

 Mo Hua feels that nine out of ten of them are true.

No wind, no wave.

 Flies do not bite seamless eggs.

The ancestor of the Lu family is obviously the rotten egg bitten by a fly.

"Then what?"

Mo Hua asked again.

He wanted to know what the relationship between the Lu family ancestor and Lu Chengyun was, so that he was willing to defy all opinions and promote Lu Chengyun as a son-in-law to the position of the head of the family.

Lu Ming said: "This matter must start with Miss Zhu."

 “Miss Zhu?”

“Lu Zhu is our ancestor's direct great-granddaughter.” Lu Ming explained, “My ancestor loves this great-granddaughter very much.”

Lu Ming whispered again:

“It is said that Miss Zhu is not the great-granddaughter of the ancestor, but the biological daughter of the ancestor…”

 The little face painted in ink is wrinkled together, with an "unsightly" expression on his face.

This is too beastly...

Lu Ming also felt ashamed and reluctantly added:

"Of course, this is just a rumor..."

"What next?" Mo Hua asked again, suddenly thinking: "This Miss Zhu, can't she be Lu Chengyun's Taoist companion..."

 Lu Ming nodded, "Yes."

"Not only that," Lu Ming whispered in shock, "the head of the family... is actually a bride-in-law."

They were a dignified Lu family, entrenched in Nanyue City, and so powerful that the head of the family turned out to be a son-in-law.

Lu Ming is still a little unbelievable until now.

Had he not entered the corpse mine, he would have interacted with shady people and inquired about shady things, and he would not have known about it until now.

Mo Hua nodded slightly, his expression not surprised.

Lu Ming was surprised and said, "Mr., did you already know this?"

Mo Hua looked indifferent and said without comment:

 “You go on.”

Lu Ming looked at the ink paintings and felt more and more that the ink paintings were "unfathomable".

You can actually know such secret things...

 Lu Ming paused for a moment, and then began to "supposedly" say:

“It is said that...Miss Zhu met the head of the family by chance outside Nanyue City and fell in love at first sight.”

“The two traveled together hand in hand and had a great conversation. After that, Miss Zhu tried every means to get the head of the family to marry him and become his husband..."

Mo Hua shook his head.

This story is **** and cliché.

 He listened to people telling stories in Tongxian City countless times.

 Generally, flower pickers use this method to lure women.

Prodigal sons will also use this method to seduce good families.

 But this method is very easy to use, and it is often accurate once it is deceived.

Lu Chengyun looked gentle and gentle, but he turned out to be a pretty boy who climbed to the top by clinging to women.

 It is estimated that he spent a lot of effort to seduce Miss Lu.

 Time, place, words, and even every move were all carefully planned and rehearsed by him...

Lu Chengyun's image in Mo Hua's heart plummeted.

Lu Ming continued: "Miss Zhu told the ancestor her feelings."

 “The ancestor disagreed. He felt that the head of the family was handsome but had evil intentions and was not a good son-in-law.”

“Miss Zhu was doted on by her ancestors and had a arrogant temperament. She had to get whatever she wanted, so she tried every possible means to pester the ancestors and ask him to agree to let the head of the family marry him.”

“Hunger strikes, taking poison pills, self-cutting meridians...all the unbearable means were used..."

“The ancestor was helpless and couldn't resist Miss Zhu, so he finally had to agree.”

“After the head of the family got married, he was given the surname Lu, and his ancestor also gave him a name, Lu Chengyun.”

Lu Chengyun…

Mo Hua touched his chin and thought deeply.

Ancestor of the Lu family, are you mocking him?

This name seems to have a very good meaning. Riding on the clouds and ascending to immortality can be regarded as the pursuit and expectation of Taoists.

 But when it comes to Lu Chengyun, it's very subtle.

Lu Chengyun is a surrogate son-in-law. The word "Chengyun" is used to mean that he clings to the Lu family and gains power by taking advantage of the cloud?

Deep down, the ancestor of the Lu family probably still looked down on Lu Chengyun. He also used this name to hammer him, telling him not to forget about becoming a son-in-law and being attached to the Lu family...

 One has evil intentions, and the other is evil.

These two people are really the same thing.

Mo Hua asked again: "How many people in the Lu family know about this matter?"

Lu Ming shook his head, "Few people know that before I entered the corpse mine, I stayed in the Lu family for so long and never heard of anything..."

Mo Hua thought: "It seems that he has found a way to seal it..."

 “Yes.” Lu Ming nodded, “It's Miss Zhu...”

“Miss Zhu does not allow anyone to mention the marriage of the head of the family.”

“Those who knew about it were all kept silent and were not allowed to mention it to the outside world, and the number of personal maids accompanying them was also changed.”

“Only known to the outside world, the head of the family is a branch of the Lu family. His parents died young, but he is very talented, so the ancestors let him marry Miss Zhu.”

Mo Hua asked doubtfully: "If the family has the same surname, can they get married?"

Lu Ming nodded and said: "We are from the same family, but from different branches, and are more than three generations apart. The blood relationship is relatively weak. After checking the genealogy, we can get married."

Mo Hua nodded slowly and asked again:

“Lu Chengyun is the son-in-law, how did he become the head of the family?”

 “Because of the mine.”

 Ink Hua's eyes narrowed slightly, “Mining…”

Lu Ming said: "Miss Zhu is completely devoted to the family head. With Miss Zhu's support, the family head soon gained some real power and began to take charge of some mines..."

"It was nothing at the beginning, but after a while, the income from the mine that the family head was responsible for was nearly a little times more than other mines in the Lu family..." ˆ ˆ A small time...

Mo Hua's eyes are slightly cold.

 For no reason, why can you have a little more than others?

Mo Hua thought of the zombies in the mine.

 Before, he was just guessing, but now he is almost certain.

Lu Chengyun's corpse refining was indeed used for mining!

I'm afraid that Lu Chengyun has been secretly refining corpses since he was in charge of the mine, and used zombies to mine...

 Others use live people to mine.

Lu Chengyun uses live people to dig during the day and "dead people" to dig at night, so the mining profits will naturally be higher.

 He also used this to gradually gain real power in the family.

 For the family, interests are the most real thing.

Lu Chengyun can use zombies to mine, doubling the profits of the mine. Even the ancestors of the Lu family will surely be impressed by him.

 As for what method Lu Chengyun used.

With the kind of person the ancestor of the Lu family was, even if he knew, he might not care.

“Because the mining profits are high, that's why Lu Chengyun became the head of the family?”

 Lu Ming nodded, "Probably."

"should?"

Mo Hua's eyes moved slightly, and he found that Lu Ming was about to speak but stopped, so he said:

 “Do you have anything else to say?”

Lu Ming hesitated a little, frowned, and said slowly:

 “I also heard a rumor…”

Mo Hua nodded and motioned for him to continue.

Lu Ming said: "It is said that our ancestor... indulged in excessive sexual activities, wasted his body, damaged his foundation, and was plotted against by his enemies. He was seriously injured and died."

“Before his death, he wanted to choose the next head of the family.”

“At the beginning, the family proposed that the head of the family decided by the ancestors was actually not Lu..."

Lu Ming felt that calling the head of the family by his first name was a bit disrespectful, but seeing that Mo Hua didn't seem to have much respect for Lu Chengyun, he bit the bullet and said:

“…It's not Lu Chengyun, but… Elder An from the clan.”

“Elder An is in the early stage of foundation building. He is only 150 years old. He is young and powerful, has sufficient qualifications, is steady in his actions, and has high prestige. Everyone agrees that Elder An will become the head of the family.”

“But I didn't expect that, I don't know what happened, but before my death, my ancestor suddenly changed his mind.”

“He is determined to have his own way and is determined to make Lu Chengyun the head of the family. It is useless for anyone to object.”

Mo Hua frowned.

 Did Lu Ming make any deal with the ancestor of the Lu family?

 What kind of deal can be done before death?

Given Lu Peipei's selfish character, this transaction should not involve the interests of the Lu family, but only his own interests.

Mo Hua's eyes turned cold.

He thought of the strange things that looked like humans, monsters and corpses on the golden altar, covered with yellow cloth, and being worshiped by jade candles, incense burners and spirits...

Mo Hua gradually felt a chill in his heart.

 “Where is Elder An?” Mo Hua asked again.

"disappeared…"

 “Dead or missing?”

Lu Ming shook his head and said: "I only heard that he disappeared. It is said that Lu Chengyun became the head of the family, and Elder An was ostracized by him and felt dissatisfied. After he went out for business once, he never came back."

“Some people also speculate that the head of the family killed Elder An.”

“But there was no evidence, so in the end it was settled..."

Mo Hua nodded.

Then Elder An should be dead.

Lu Chengyun seems to be a gentle person, but he will retaliate against others and will definitely exclude dissidents and kill Elder An.

They even not only killed him, but also used his body to refine it.

 Among the iron coffins in the Ten Thousand Corpses Array, there is probably the corpse of Elder An.

 There is nothing after that.

That's all Lu Ming found out.

Otherwise, it's all trivial and trivial matters.

Mo Hua took out a blanket and handed it to Lu Ming:

 “I keep my promise and save your life.”

“But in the short term, you can't even think about escaping. You can't escape by running, so you can stay here peacefully for a while.”

“There is a formation on this blanket that can hide your body.”

“If anything happens in this corpse mine in the future, just find a corner, cover yourself with a blanket, and stay there quietly.”

 “After the storm is over, you can find another chance to sneak out.”

"Whether you can survive or not depends on your own destiny."

 “I can only help you so much.”

Lu Ming clutched the blanket, a little nervous, and couldn't help but ask: "What...what happened?"

 “Don't ask, you'll be dead if you know.”

Lu Ming shivered with fright and said worriedly:

“Then, is this blanket really useful?”

“The formation above was drawn by me, so it's naturally useful.”

 Ink painting has a mastery in mind.

Lu Ming looked at Mo Hua's small face and felt somewhat at ease for some reason.

Mo Hua warned him again:

"Don't learn how to refine corpses, and don't practice them. If you kill someone, refine corpses, and become possessed by a demon, I won't be able to save you. Maybe one day, I will have to kill you..."

Lu Ming nodded repeatedly.

 After leaving Lu Ming, Mo Hua went to the Ten Thousand Corpses Altar again.

 It was late at night and there was no one at the altar.

Mo Hua still controlled the big tiger to open the door of the hall, and then used the little zombie to open the door of the mural and came to the golden altar.

This altar is glittering with gold and extremely luxurious.

 Ink painting didn't pay attention to it before.

 Thinking about it now, these things are very in line with the taste of the ancestors of the Lu family.

Then what is being offered on this altar is... the ancestor of the Lu family?

There is also the face on the mural, which is mean and ferocious, half human and half corpse. Could it be that he was also "lu peeling off the skin"?

 Fortunately, I didn't lift the yellow cloth.

 Otherwise, it would be really dangerous.

 But if you don't reveal it, how can you verify your guess?

Ink painting is a bit difficult.

At this moment, the mural at the door suddenly moved.

Mo Hua's heart tightened, "Is someone coming?"

Who will come to the altar at this time?

 Zhang Quan or Lu Chengyun?

Mo Hua controlled the little zombie and walked obediently in the coffin. Then he scanned the surroundings with his spiritual consciousness and found that there were no traces. Then he hid his body, condensed his breath to the extreme, and quietly hid behind the altar.

After a while, ink marks rippled on the mural, forming an entrance.

 A monk in rich clothes and a gentle face walked in.

It is Lu Chengyun.
