Chapter 0008: We are all wanderers in this vast world

If he wants to go find it, the journey is long and difficult, and there are monsters and demons along the way, which is basically no different from the journey to the West to obtain the scriptures

Ah?

Old man, you are supposed to help me find a wife, what are you laughing about over there

To their surprise, as soon as they stepped outside, the two of them unexpectedly ran into each other again

If that is the case, then the plot would be clichéd

Well, in the past couple of days, father has had some free time to go out and look for a house, and he will find a suitable one for you to move into as soon as possible

Suddenly, Lu Chuan pointed to the door and said, a horse-drawn carriage drove up and stopped in front of the door, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Song Yiren bent down to step out from the carriage.

Undoubtedly, encountering setbacks at Jiang Ziya's place tonight has dealt him a significant blow, causing his previously envisioned plans to come to naught

However, when it comes to his most favored choice of sect...

However, he and Jiang Ziya can indeed be considered the two most idle individuals in the Song residence at present

Lu Chuan thought of Jiang Ziya again

Is one both talented and beautiful?

It is quite difficult; currently, King Zhou has not yet waged war against Xiqi, and those extraordinary individuals from the overseas fairy islands and the Five Great Mountains have naturally not emerged, remaining in their caves to cultivate.

Therefore, even if he goes to famous mountains to seek a master, he must find disciples of the Chan and Jie sects to pay his respects, as they are both orthodox schools of the Xuanmen, and at the very least, he can learn some genuine skills

Is it dead

Lu Chuan pondered: "I have heard that some masters seem to prefer retreating to advance, testing whether the apprentice's determination to learn is steadfast. If I give up this early, that would be completely hopeless."

However, the cultivation grounds of these individuals are not easy to access; the journey ahead will undoubtedly be arduous and fraught with dangers. Therefore, this is considered a middle strategy

Moreover, he does not have three disciples to protect him

Lu Chuan was momentarily taken aback, and then murmured: "Please don't say that I was born during a difficult labor and passed away."

Perhaps I still have three paths to choose from now

This ... ... this this this ... ...

If you do not wish to stay in the Song residence, then tomorrow I will arrange for you a house in this Song village

No matter how one puts it, he is still a disciple of the Primordial Supreme Being. A renowned master produces outstanding disciples; even if one's aptitude is lacking, there are still abilities to be had. Moreover, he is the closest to him, which minimizes the risks.

What should be done

This is the best strategy

After a long time

He is currently unable to support himself, so how can he have the confidence to say such a thing

Lu Liang tapped Lu Chuan's head and scolded, "You little rascal, do you think it's so easy to enter the Song residence? Many people wish to get in but have no opportunity..."

Alas, we are all lost souls in this vast world!

Originally, Lu Chuan thought that after last night, meeting with Jiang Ziya would be somewhat awkward, so he planned to wait a couple of days before seeking him out.

Lu Chuan looked at Lu Liang and said: "Do you plan to spend your whole life working for the Song family..."

Father, where is my mother? Why have I never heard you mention her?

May I ask, elder brother, where does this joy come from

Lu Chuan looked at the endearingly plump Master Song and almost couldn't help but laugh out loud

Ah, the master has arrived

The skin of the Luchuan noodles is being pulled slightly | Moving, the seventy-year-old aunt's half body is already buried in the ground, yet she still wishes to pass on the family line

Only after coming to terms with these thoughts did Lu Chuan finally close his eyes and fall asleep contentedly

Lu Liang laughed and said: "By the way, the wages at the Song family are higher than elsewhere. Your father earns five taels of silver a month. When you start your own family in the future, these wages of mine can still support you, can't they..."

Lu Chuan listened in silence; indeed, with the presence of immortals and demons, this world has diverged from the normal course of history

This was the first time Lu Chuan had seen Lu Liang like this; with his head lowered, he finished his meal. Lu Chuan made up his mind that he would never again ask Lu Liang about his mother.

Lu Liang smiled and said: "Then, father will be able to find you a new wife and arrange your marriage."

Lu Liang looked up to remind his son to eat, but upon seeing Lu Chuan, he fell silent.

He thought for a moment, and it seems that today Jiang Ziya's refusal to him cannot be ruled out as a possibility

After Song Yiren dismounted from the carriage, he clasped his hands in salute to Jiang Ziya and began to smile as he congratulated, "Congratulations, virtuous brother."

There is nothing much, it's just that I haven't seen him for most of the day since I got up today said Jiang Ziya with a smile

Although he was at the Song family, he did not sign a contract to become a servant of the Song residence. After all, given his previous circumstances, how could he achieve anything as a servant

Isn't it still not settled down yet

The moonlight from the sky spills through the window onto the bed, making the light in the room not too dark. Lu Chuan lies on the bed but finds it somewhat difficult to fall asleep

Lu Liang smiled and said: "You are already well now, and you can live on your own without my care. Once you have a house, you can marry and start a family."

Jiang Ziya was somewhat incoherent and at a loss for words, ultimately letting out a long sigh and bitterly smiling as he said, "Elder brother, may I ask which family's daughter you are referring to?"

In ancient times, King Yu the Great established order in the world, received the mandate of heaven, divided the land into nine provinces, cast the nine tripods, and unified the currency

The greatest problem he faces at present is whom to take as his master. Although Jiang Ziya is the closest to him, he does not accept him as a disciple, which means that being near the water tower does not guarantee one can obtain the moon.

At this time, the status of the servants was also very low

Lu Liang said: "I have made up my mind. Since you are well now, starting from tomorrow, you will go to the accounting room to learn bookkeeping from the teacher."

silver

The Old Maid of Sixty-Eight

This strategy is somewhat of a case of seeking distant gains at the expense of nearby opportunities, and it carries the greatest risk; therefore, it will not be considered for the time being

Luchuan Qingyu thought of three paths

It seems that Song Yiren has become a matchmaker.

In fact, it is still the elucidation of teachings

Upon arriving at the secluded courtyard of the father and son, the two separated to return to their rooms. Lu Liang is very busy every day, so rest is very important

What about you, Dad

At this point, Lu Liang couldn't help but feel extremely happy, breaking into a hearty laugh.

Indeed

However, he is also very aware that in such a world, wanting to be an ordinary person is extremely dangerous, as there are far too many factors that can threaten one's life

The first is to pay homage to the West and to practice the teachings of the West

What?

Lu Chuan shook his head and said, "I do not know either. I went to bed too late last night and only woke up around noon today. Is Mr. Jiang looking for the master regarding something?"

Lu Chuan silently followed into the room, the authority of this old man is indeed great, the father and son sat down around the table

The next day, due to pondering over the matter of apprenticeship until late, Lu Chuan did not wake up until lunchtime.

Hehe, my father enjoys good food and drink here in the Song residence. Apart from the Song family, I am the most important person here. Why not take advantage of it

Lu Chuan got dressed, freshened up, and as he stepped outside, he saw the sun shining brightly. Just as he stretched lazily, Lu Liang returned carrying a lunchbox.

Of course, if he still does not receive it next time, then he cannot waste time hanging himself on a single tree

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziya felt as if he had been struck by a sudden thunderclap, leaving him stunned and rooted to the spot.

You see, Guang Chengzi and Chi Jingzi are quite remarkable. When their disciple descended the mountain, he gave away all his magical treasures. As a result, after the disciple turned against them, they were pressed to the ground and rubbed against it.

Song Yiren expressed with great satisfaction: "There is nothing to say about this person; possessing both talent and beauty, although sixty-eight years old, she is still a young maiden, perfectly suited for my virtuous younger brother"

Jiang Ziya quickly stepped forward and greeted at the door, saying: "Elder brother, where have you been today?"

First act and then report, this plump Master Song truly plays this hand exceptionally well, first stating the matter, and by the time it comes to you, Jiang Ziya, you will have no choice but to agree even if you do not want to

What are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and eat

Regardless, I will hold on a little longer and take a break before trying to find Jiang Ziya again

On the surface, Lu Chuan wore a smile, but suddenly he could no longer smile. He hoped his father would not pull such a stunt on him as well

Indeed, Song Yiren laughed and said, "Today, I, as your elder brother, went out to propose marriage for you, and it has been successfully arranged. Congratulations to you, my dear brother, hahahaha..."

Jiang Ziya, upon hearing this, looked at Song Yiren in confusion, then turned to look at Lu Chuan

Lu Chuan was taken aback. Is there money available at this moment?

Lu Liang glanced at Lu Chuan and scolded, "It's not that I'm criticizing you, young man, but you cannot be so lazy. How will you manage your life if you start a family in the future?"

Ah, Luchuan, where has your master gone?

Lu Liang was momentarily taken aback, and suddenly a flash of pain and sorrow crossed his eyes. He shook his head and said, "She is dead."

As they were speaking, the two had already turned to the front yard

Thinking of those individuals in "Investiture of the Gods" who had little ability and were deceived by Shen Gongbao to stand before the Chan Sect, only to be easily defeated like cannon fodder, Lu Chuan felt a bit of a headache

Lu Chuan could only smile wryly, what could he say? To claim that he did not want to be a person of the present?

Lu Chuan suppressed a laugh in his heart; it was his own father who was forcing him to marry, while this Jiang Ziya was also being compelled by his sworn elder brother to be the groom

How does he remember that the currency during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods was the knife coin? Even earlier, was it not based on barter, or using shells as currency?

When it came to his wife, Lu Liang's mood suddenly soured, and he could no longer eat. He set down his bowl and stared blankly at the food on the table.

However, although the conditions for entry to the West are relatively lenient, the journey from the East to the West is much longer and fraught with more dangers. He certainly does not wish to embark on a premature pilgrimage to the West in search of scriptures

After the meal, Lu Chuan went out for a walk to aid digestion, but it wasn't long before he encountered Jiang Ziya

Lu Chuan quietly voiced his doubts

Luchuan

Lu Chuan lay on the bed, constantly contemplating his next plan in his mind

After Lu Liang finished his intoxication, Lu Chuan suddenly asked, by the way, he had never heard Lu Liang mention his mother

It is desirable to seek another enlightened master

Therefore, this must be repaired

The daughter of Ma Hong from the Ma family village is, in fact, my younger sister

The second departure is to leave home and seek out the esteemed masters of the East to learn their skills; however, once one sets out, the question of whom to apprentice under also arises

Lu Chuan exclaimed, "Father, you can't really be planning to make me a commoner as well, can you?"
