With doubts in his heart, Lu Mo followed Shen Zhezi into this manor with high walls and deep courtyards. Weaving through the corridors and alleys, you finally reached the outside of a garden. The garden is surrounded by many Jiazhuang Ding, and there are still arrow towers and lookouts at the four corners, and the defense can be described as strict. However, the garden was empty, with only a few huts in the corner, and an old farmer in a linen robe was leaning over the soil.

When the old peasant heard the breath, he turned his head to look, and then he dropped his hoe, patted the dust on his body, and walked forward, still a few feet away, and bowed down, and exclaimed: "The slave will see the lord of the lang." ”

Shen Zhezi waved his hand to make the old farmer stand up, and then pointed to his person and smiled at Lu Mo: "Master Lu still recognizes this person?" ”

Seeing this environment, Lu Mo's heart was already full of curiosity, and when he heard Shen Zhezi's question, he looked at the old farmer seriously, looked at it carefully for a long time, and then slowly shook his head: "It seems to be old knowledge, but I can't remember it." ”

"Tell Lu Shijun who you are."

The old farmer raised his head and brushed away the scattered hair in front of him, his wrinkled face was already full of a bitter smile: "Lu Mo, in the early years, you and I also sat together and discussed, and when the old people reunited, you were so clumsy?" ”

"You, you are Yan Mu!"

The face that was already familiar, and when he heard the extremely impressive tone, the old farmer in front of him immediately coincided with a flamboyant and wanton image in his memory, and then Lu Mo's face showed an unbelievable look, and the whole person froze on the spot, and even his tone suddenly became sharp.

Hearing Lu Mo's surprised tone-changing voice, the wry smile on the face of Yan Mu, who was dressed as an old farmer, turned into self-mockery, and sighed: "Personnel are impermanent, and suddenly there is a world of difference. I can't even think of it myself, and it's no wonder that Lu Shijun doesn't know the old people......"

"Shut up, what kind of background are you, why did you fall to this, others don't know, don't you still know yourself? Retire and take care of your appearance, and come back to see the old man. ”

Regarding Yan Mu's self-deprecation, Shen Zhezi had no sympathy at all, and waved his hand to reprimand.

After Yan Mu heard this, he nodded to Lu Mo again, and then he accepted it with a submissive look, turned around and walked hobbled towards the hut, as if he was already old and difficult to walk, and he could not bear the labor.

Lu Mo looked at Yan Mu's stumbling back, his eyes had revealed an extremely complicated look, and finally turned into a wave of compassion, seeing that Yan Mu almost fell when he crossed the ridge, he couldn't help but take a step forward, as if he wanted to rush up and help him, and when he saw Yan Mu's body shake and stand firm, he was secretly relieved.

Shen Zhezi stood beside him, but there was no lack of gimmicks in his heart, but he just watched Lu Mo being distraught by the miserable sale of that old actor. He naturally knew that Yan Mu was no more than fifty years old, and although he was still considered old, it was by no means more than what he showed was about to die. The reason why I want to do this is probably because I finally saw old acquaintances from outside, and I wanted to sell miserably to win sympathy, in the hope of getting a little improvement in my situation.

This old liar is really talented, probably because he has done too much play, he has integrated this into his instincts, and his demeanor is natural, even in the face of Shen Zhezi, who knows the details well, there is no embarrassment in acting.

"Isn't there no shortage of old feelings between Master Lu and this Yan Mu?"

Seeing that Lu Mo was looking at Yan Mu's back, and his gaze was not withdrawn for a long time, Shen Zhezi asked curiously.

"No, no...... I don't have an old relationship with this person, but I have a little old grudge. ”

Hearing Shen Zhezi's words, Lu Mo came back to his senses, shook his head and said. He had a grudge with Yan Mu, and in the early years of the Zhongxing system, when Emperor Yuan was still in the court, Lu Mo wanted to enter the capital to open the door to power, and at that time, Yan Mu lived in seclusion in Zhongshan, which was famous. The two inevitably ran into each other, Lu Mo was severely ridiculed by Yan Mu at that time, and it can be said that he lost face, so that he was unwilling to come to Jiankang again for more than ten years. And the reason why Yan Mu was able to become a master in the Dao was also related to stepping on Lu Mo back then.

At that time, Yan Mu, although he was also old, was exalted as a fairy within the competition gate, which can be described as high-spirited. But when they met again after many years, they became old slaves under the supervision of others, bowing their heads and gnawing on the soil, without any posture.

Originally, seeing that the old grudge had fallen to this, Lu Mo should have felt happy, but such a strong contrast made him feel sorry for him while he was surprised.

In the past, he was ashamed to mention the old grievances, but after Lu Mo pondered for a while, he turned to Shen Zhezi and said curiously: "In previous years, I heard that Yan Mu was not in the war, and I still have no lack of regrets, but I didn't expect this person to be fortunate to be in the courtyard of the Zhou family." It's just that this Yan Mu is not lacking in old voices, but he is the master of the Dao, I don't know why he angered Wei Zhou, and he wants to be so ...... Do you want to use it as a cow or a horse? ”

Hearing Lu Mo's tone of reprimand, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but sigh, I really don't know whether to say that Yan Mu's acting skills are superb, or whether to say that Lu Mo is too pure. He also understands this, not to mention the old friendship between the two, they are both masters in the Tao, seeing Yan Mu being humiliated and captive like this, Lu Mo will inevitably feel hurt by his kind, probably to maintain the so-called dignity of the master.

"The old slave has his own crime of punishment, but it is inconvenient for me to talk to Master Lu in detail."

"Wei Zhou, you say that, it really puzzles me. This Yan Mu is a Taoist master after all, no matter what the reason, it is a little inappropriate for you to be punished and put in private prison here......"

Shen Zhezi's answer was naturally difficult to satisfy Lu Mo, the Daozhong Master had his own dignity, no matter how Yan Mu was or what he was, such humiliation really made him unacceptable.

"Master Lu wants to discuss this matter with me?"

Seeing that Lu Mo was still entangled in this, the smile on Shen Zhezi's face suddenly disappeared, and his tone became a little indifferent.

Seeing this, Lu Mo's expression couldn't help but froze, but he didn't expect this young man to turn his face when he said it, and he couldn't react for a while. His face changed, and many thoughts flashed in his heart, and after a while, he forced a smile and said, "It's just a little surprised, since it's inconvenient to say in detail, there is no need to say more." ”

Hearing this, Shen Zhezi's expression changed again, and he said: "In the coming days, we will fight for Taoism, Kuang Zheng's three masters will pass on the law, and there will be no evil, and many heresies will be wiped out!" Today, I brought Lu Shi to see the old slave to make it clear that Lu Shi is relieved to fight for it, but if you have any request, I will definitely help here! ”

After Lu Mo heard this, his demeanor became unnatural again. The meaning revealed in Shen Zhezi's words, he naturally understood, but he was telling him that these Dao masters were great in the eyes of others, but the other party did not put them in their eyes, since they had already captured one, they would not be afraid to arrest more in the future!

At this time, Lu Mo realized that he was dealing with someone, and the strong and domineering style of the Shen family, the leader of Jiangdong, was much more rebellious than he imagined!

This feeling made him feel like he was on pins and needles, and he was uncomfortable all over his body, and he had lived in a county for a long time, so he naturally heard a lot of Shen's fierce old things, but as a Dao master, his status was absolutely transcendent, no matter how strong the Shen family was, in his eyes it was just a family of believers with rich offerings, and he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of him. But now he realized how ridiculous his detached self-satisfaction had been!

Seeing that Lu Mo's eyes were erratic and he didn't dare to look at himself, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but feel a sigh in his heart. The reason why he wanted Lu Mo to come to see Yan Mu was to let the old boy recognize the master and slave clearly. Although he wants to use the power of the Heavenly Master's Dao, Lu Mo is not the only option, if he can't cooperate, he doesn't mind leaving Lu Mo as Yan Mu's companion, plowing the field and weaving cloth in this garden for the rest of his life.

After being silent for a while, Lu Mo forced a laugh and said: "It's hard to travel far away, I don't have a deep relationship with Yan Mu, just meet once, there is no need to talk about the past." ”

"I was negligent, so I ordered someone to send Lu Shi to his residence to rest."

After Shen Zhezi heard this, he hurriedly said, his demeanor was still respectful, but in Lu Mo's eyes, his feelings were completely different.

"There is still a time to bother Wei Zhou, I entered the capital this time, and I was in a hurry, and there was no one around me......"

"It's all a trivial matter, even if Master Lu doesn't say anything, I'm prepared here. Later, my family's order will be temporarily used under Lu Shimen, and it can be used directly by people and things. ”

Shen Zhezi saw that Lu Mo had hundreds of disciples around him, and naturally there would be no shortage of people to use them, and the reason why he said this was that he did not plan to get off the boat, and made a special trip to let Shen Zhezi arrange people to be by his side and feel at ease with each other.

The exchange of meanings between each other is tacit. When Lu Mo got in the car and was about to leave, Shen Zhezi chased after him as if he had just remembered: "I also ask Master Lu to copy a copy of the genealogy of the valve reading for my place, and when the time is ripe, I will go straight to His Majesty to ask for the king's edict for His Majesty." ”

When Lu Mo heard this, his face was already ecstatic, although there were many masters in the Dao right now, they were all noisy in the wilderness, and there was no orthodoxy recognized by the Fa Li. If he can come out on top in this area, then this visit to Jiankang is worth it!

Although it was still a nihilistic cake, after seeing the appeal of King Shen Zhezi Bijizong, Lu Mo did not have many doubts in his heart. With this promise, the original discomfort in his heart suddenly disappeared, and when he looked at Shen Zhezi again, his eyes were much kinder than facing his mantle heir.

After sending Lu Mo away, Shen Zhezi returned to the manor and asked people to lure Yan Mu's old liar over.

Yan Mu has changed into a green robe at this time, and his beard and hair have been taken care of, although it is still simple, but it also reveals a sense of fun that returns to the basics, and his appearance can be described as good. He hurriedly walked into the hall, and when he saw that only Shen Zhezi was sitting upright in the hall, but Lu Mo's figure was gone, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes. When he saw Shen Zhezi's eyes staring at him coldly, his expression gradually became cramped, and he knelt down silently.

"Death or life?"

Shen Zhezi sat in the hall and asked in a cold voice.

"The slave's words and deeds are wrong, only the beggar lord is deeply responsible! The remnants of the catastrophe are a hundred deaths, but fortunately they are protected by the lord of Lang, and they plough day and night, and they dare not consume a drop of rice and grain......"

"It seems that it is still required to live. So let me ask you again, what else is there to hide? ”

Shen Zhezi had learned the cunning of this old liar, and was not moved by his sad gesture of begging for life, but asked indifferently.

Hearing this question, Yan Mudang was stunned for a moment, and then pondered for a while before he said in a trembling voice: "If Lord Lang asks, the slave has nothing to say, and there is really no trace to hide it......

"Huh? Well, I'll let you die. ”

Shen Zhezi knocked on the bookcase, and then several guards outside the door embraced a good-looking, charming woman and a drooping young man into the hall. When Yan Mu saw this woman and child, his whole body was like being struck by lightning, and his eyes were as huge as copper bells. And when the woman saw Yan Mu kneeling deeply in the hall, a trace of doubt flashed on her face, and then she also changed color suddenly, and wanted to pounce on it, but was stopped by the guards.

"The unforgivable sin is committed by a slave, and it has nothing to do with the family! Lord Lang is righteous, begging for a blade to kill himself, just begging Lord Lang to let go of the foolish woman and young son......"

Seeing Yan Mu fall to the ground and cry bitterly, his head smashed the ground with a bang, and his spirit was almost broken. Shen Zhezi also had to admire, this old thing really has the hardness of not shedding tears when he doesn't see the coffin, he has been imprisoned for more than a year, and he has to be arraigned every three or five days, and he can actually grit his teeth and not let go, and he has a small family secretly raised in Beijing.

If it weren't for Qian Feng who sensed the clues and chased after him and brought people to Jiankang together, maybe Shen Zhezi would really be fooled by him.

He waved his hand and motioned for the guards to escort the woman and the child down again, and then sat there quietly watching Yan Mu crying and begging for death in the hall, begging for his wife and children's life. To be honest, people in troubled times are indifferent, and it is really rare to see such a deep love. Of course, it is not ruled out that this Yan Mu is still acting, but since he can even deceive himself, Shen Zhezi will treat his family affection as real.

After a long time, Yan Mu's howling voice gradually weakened, only a faint sobbing remained, and the whole person was paralyzed on the ground like a mess of mud, and the blood on his forehead was dripping, and he looked terrifying.

"You are begging for death, are you sure that I will not kill you easily? This is also nonsense, and if it weren't for that, it wouldn't have left you alive to this day. But the old slave is treacherous, and I don't believe you, kill or not, I am also very rare. Howling is enough, then think carefully about how you can save your family's life. If you can give me a satisfactory answer, not only will I not kill you, but I will also allow you to reunite with your family and spend this life in peace. ”
