Lu Zheng originally thought that he would be very busy, and was still waiting for the peach blossom girl to ask for help.

The result...

I have been waiting for more than a month, and when it was time to celebrate the Chinese New Year, I still didn’t get help.

According to the news sent back by the Eighteen Heavenly Maidens, practitioners from various sects in Yizhou went around their respective jurisdictions because of this matter. In cooperation with the people sent by the Zhenyi Division, at least two More than ten outcropping ghosts were killed.

It is estimated that there are still smart people hiding in the dark, or running to other state capitals, but they are scattered and unsystematic, and they will not be able to make a bigger noise. Someone from other states took action.

King Black Wheel said he wanted to turn Yizhou Mansion upside down, but in fact, it only caused a small splash in the end.

　"Poof", it's gone.

The only regret is that the origin of the Black Wheel King’s ghost has never been found.

According to Shen Ying, with such a big commotion, it is estimated that the ghost of the Black Wheel King has either escaped back to the Nether World, or has escaped from the Yizhou boundary.

Therefore, the plan to obtain the Light of Luck was not implemented. Lu Zheng had no choice but to travel back to modern times and prepare to celebrate the New Year with Lin Wan.

It’s just that...

Lu Zheng had already booked a flight to fly to Australia with Lin Wan, but it turned out that God’s fate was not good enough, and Lin Wan, who was usually fine, was sent out. I'm on a business trip and won't be back soon.

So Lu Zheng took Ganoderma lucidum wine home to spend time with his parents, and then went to Lin Wan's house in Lu Province, where he brought several bottles of health medicinal wine to Lin's mother.

On New Year’s Eve, I had a video chat with Lin Wan. Lin Wan apologized to Lu Zheng with some embarrassment, saying that she would have a long vacation after returning to China, and she would accompany Lu Zheng on the trip.

Lu Zheng agreed, and then asked Lin Wan to sign several alliances under the city because of his absence on New Year's Eve. Lin Wan could only accept it with a blushing face.

Hanging up the phone with satisfaction, Lu Zheng turned around and traveled back to ancient times, thinking whether he should smell the sachet or touch the wooden sign tonight.

…

It’s not even half a month in the modern year, but it’s also the time to celebrate the new year here in ancient times.

I didn’t go back to Jizhou this year. I spent New Year’s Eve at Liu’s house. In the next few days of the New Year, I visited Baiyunguan, Lushui River God’s Palace, and City God’s Temple.

Once the Lantern Festival is over, the year is over.

…

“So, are you on a business trip or being transferred?” Lu Zheng asked.

　Lin Wan also showed a hint of helplessness on the phone screen.

　"A business trip, really a business trip, but this time the investigation task is physical work. Although it is not difficult, it is very time-consuming."

　"Okay, Are you sure you don’t want my help?”

“Don’t worry, no, I’ve seen the light of day here.”

“As long as you have an idea.”

　……

　"Sir, can you have lunch at home?" Aunt Liu asked.

Lu Zheng waved his hand, "No, I'll go out for a walk, at noon..."

As he finished speaking, a figure suddenly emerged from the ground of the small courtyard.

“Senior Song?” Lu Zheng exclaimed.

The person who came turned out to be the owner of the cave in the mountains of Northeast China, Song Kaichuan.

Since the other party taught me his technique and left the year before last, I have gone to the cave to collect stalactite essence more than a dozen times, but I have never seen a trace of him.

Lu Zheng was still thinking that the other party would be gone for another thirty years, but he did not expect that the other party would come directly to his door.

“Little friend.” Song Kaichuan nodded.

Lu Zheng turned to Aunt Liu and said, "We will have lunch at home for lunch."

Knowing that Lu Zheng was a stranger, although Song Kaichuan's appearance shocked Aunt Liu, However, Aunt Liu quickly calmed down, said hello to Song Kaichuan, and hurriedly went to the front yard to cook.

"Senior Song, please!" Lu Zheng led Song Kaichuan to the front hall, bringing water and making tea.

Song Kaichuan took a sip from the tea cup, nodded, and looked at Lu Zheng, "My little friend has made great progress in practice in the past two years."

"Senior, you have given me too much praise. , a small success." Lu Zheng said modestly.

“Can your chess skills improve?”

Lu Zheng blinked, “It’s not bad.”

“Come on, let’s talk about it Bureau." Song Kaichuan put down his tea cup, his eyes burning.

"Uh... Okay, senior, please come over here." Lu Zheng stood up and took Song Kaichuan to the study room. They arranged the chessboard and chess pieces and took their seats.

As a junior, Lu Zheng takes the lead in his career and settles down in the sky.

After going back and forth for more than a dozen moves, both of them slowed down.

"My little friend's method of breaking the situation that day was really unimaginable and unpredictable. I went to southern Xinjiang to win the old pine tree, and my little friend worked very hard."

Song Kaichuan backhandHe took a bag of pine nuts and put it aside, "These are the pine nuts I picked from his body. They are very helpful for cultivation. You can take them as snacks."

Lu Zheng tilted his head. At a glance, I found that each of these pine nuts was as big as a thumb, with shimmering light on the surface, and streams of fragrance coming out. They were of better quality than the pine cones given to me by the ancestor of Baiyun Temple last year.

"Hiss——"

Lu Zheng took a breath and hurriedly refused, "No way, it's too expensive."

Song Kaichuan waved his hand, "It's okay. There are not many other old pine trees, but there are many pine nuts. They occupy such a large hilltop, and all the spiritual energy that is inexhaustible every year is condensed into the pine nuts."

"Then the junior will not You're welcome."

Song Kaichuan nodded, and then saw Lu Zheng patting the gourd and collecting the pine nuts.

He raised his eyebrows, but he didn’t expect that Lu Zheng actually had the magic weapon to absorb Xumiyu Jiezi.

Song Kaichuan lost another piece and chatted casually, "I have to say that Old Songshu's chess skills are indeed better than mine. When playing chess with him, I always lose more and win less. The end game has troubled me for more than thirty years, but my friend solved this game, which is also very helpful to me, and I feel that my chess skills have improved."

"Senior, you are polite, this is my accumulated experience, What does it have to do with the younger generation?"

Song Kaichuan shook his head, "It's difficult, this step is not so easy to cross. The endgame laid by the old pine tree is to help me cross this step, but in the end I still have to Help me, little friend."

But after all, Song Kaichuan had been thinking about it for thirty years, and he just missed the finishing touch. Lu Zheng's help did not weaken Song Kaichuan's perception too much.

Neither of them took the exam for a long time. Even when they were not sure, they just thought about it briefly and then made a decision.

When Aunt Liu called the door outside the hospital, Lu Zheng and Song Kaichuan had already finished playing a game.

Song Kaichuan was not only a chess fanatic, but also had extraordinary skills, so Lu Zheng was not polite and beat him three times.

“Good! What a great chess skill!” Song Kaichuan clapped his hands and smiled, very happy.

"Senior Song, the servants at home have prepared lunch, please!"

Song Kaichuan nodded, "I haven't had a meal in a long time. Do as the Romans do, so let's have some. ."

Lu Zheng's unbeatable taste strategy finally failed. Song Kaichuan had no requirements at all for food. He only tasted every dish and got a "good" evaluation.

After lunch, he returned to the living room again, and Song Kaichuan finally got to the point, "My chess skills are still improving. I hope I can help my old friend. I wonder if my friend is free and can go to southern Xinjiang." One trip?”
