Chapter 274 Chase

Bi Ruxi took the jade slip suspiciously, without doubting anything, she directly pressed the jade slip to her forehead.

After a while, Bi Ruxi put down the jade slip with a complicated expression, bowed her head and said nothing.

Lu Yunze had no intention of urging him, and ate every bite of food and wine to his heart's content.

After about a quarter of an hour, Bi Ruxi let out a long sigh, and a self-deprecating wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Wang Yueying and his wife finally found Fellow Daoist Lu."

Lu Yunze nodded, and said casually: "They have no other choice. In the entire Tianxing City, I'm the only master craftsman who doesn't have a big influence behind him."

Having said that, Lu Yunze shrugged again.

"In any case, it's something that has been passed down from your family. After learning everything, I thought of coming to say hello to you, at least to let you know that there is such a thing."

Bi Ruxi smiled wryly and cupped her hands at Lu Yunze, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu, it's just..." Bi Ruxi hesitated for a while, then asked with some difficulty: "I don't know if Fellow Daoist Lu... successfully refined that thing? "

When she said this, Bi Ruxi lowered her head slightly, not even daring to look directly into Lu Yunze's eyes.

He didn't know which answer he was looking forward to.

"It has been refined." Lu Yunze said, a magic weapon on a stone tablet engraved with ancient seals of different colors flashed away in the palm of his hand.

Bi Ruxi opened her mouth, her pupils moved uncomfortably, a face that was still handsome but had been smoothed by the years wrinkled pitifully.

After a while, an ugly smile appeared on that face.

"Sure enough, this is the thing that restrained the Chongyuan Pearl just now. It is worthy of being on the same level as... that magic weapon."

Lu Yunze glanced at him with some hesitation, but he still didn't say that he had upgraded the refining method of the Zhenlingbei.

Bi Ruxi lowered her head, and poured herself a big glass of spiritual wine.

"Since Fellow Daoist Lu already knows my identity, then I won't hide anything." Bi Ruxi smiled wryly, with a blush on her face, but she didn't know if it was because of the spirit wine just now, or because of something else.

"The ancestors of the family used to be so magnificent and talented. I never thought that in my generation, they would be reduced to the point of selling their ancestors' inheritance. Even a little deacon of the star palace would not dare to offend. It's really..."

Bi Ruxi couldn't say the latter words no matter what, she just poured herself the spirit wine glass by glass.

Lu Yunze remained silent and did not speak.

He could also understand that Bi Ruxi's ancestor was Tianjing Sanren, a ruthless person who, with the strength of one person, overwhelmed the entire star palace for hundreds of years, and even the master of the star palace died in the on his hand.

It would be strange if the ancestors with such glamor did not feel sad when they saw that they had become mixed up with such virtues.

"Fellow Daoist Lu doesn't know something..." After drinking a few glasses of spiritual wine, Bi Ruxi finally opened up the conversation.

"Back then, I don't know how many forces, big and small, dreamed of attaching themselves to the ancestors and overthrowing the Star Palace in one go. It can be said that if the family ancestors thought about it back then, it would never be the Star Palace that dominates the entire chaotic sea of ​​stars. !"

Bi Ruxi snorted coldly, a large blush appeared on her face.

Lu Yunze had already activated the sound-proof restriction that comes with the quiet room before, but seeing Bi Ruxi's expression of being suppressed for a long time and impatient to let off steam, he simply set up several formations around him and asked him to say in one breath. a joy.

"It's just that the family ancestor refused all allegiance for some reason, and was a loner until his death. Many times I couldn't help thinking, why is he doing this? Could it be that even the position of the Lord of the Chaos Star Sea Can't impress him?"

Bi Ruxi shook her head with a wry smile, "I'll also think about it, if he was willing to accept those people and overthrow Xinggong in one go, would the situation of me and our clan be completely different?"

"Or even if we don't overthrow Xinggong and directly establish our own faction, will our status be different?"

Lu Yunze looked at him with a calm expression on his face, without any waves.

Seeing his calm look, Bi Ruxi couldn't help laughing bitterly again, got up and poured a glass of wine for Lu Yunze.

"Later, I actually figured it out. Maybe there are some things that only mediocre mortals like us would think about and pursue. For those truly extraordinary geniuses, the so-called power, status, and interests are nothing more than They're so low-hanging fruit that they don't even deserve to stop and look at them."

Bi Ruxi let out a long sigh, but there seemed to be light in her eyes, with indescribable longing and yearning.

"What they are chasing is something that people like me can't understand in a lifetime. It is a higher-level desire and sense of accomplishment that goes beyond worldly pursuits."

"It was a sense of accomplishment...to change the world."

Bi Ruxi smiled slightly, "For this kind of people, perhaps only this kind of goal is worthy of their pursuit, and to strive for it at all costs."

Lu Yunze frowned suddenly, and looked up at him in disbelief.

Bi Ruxi shrugged noncommittally, smiled and saluted Lu Yunze.

"To be honest, when I first met Fellow Daoist Lu, I felt an indescribable sense of intimacy. After calling several times, I felt more and more that Fellow Daoist Lu was different from ordinary people, but what are the specific differences? , but I can't tell."

"It wasn't until later that I figured out that Fellow Daoist Lu's temperament, the way he behaves and handles things, and the inexplicable sense of loneliness are all very similar to the appearance of my ancestors in my imagination. That is an ordinary person like me. something to look up to."

"Hiss!" Lu Yunze suddenly sat up straight, and was beyond shocked.

Unexpectedly!I regard you as a friend, but you regard me as your ancestor!

This...isn't it too polite?

Bi Ruxi didn't know about Lu Yunze's complicated psychological activities at this time, so she just continued on her own: "Before the ancestor passed away, he actually wanted us to publish the contents of this jade slip. He thought his discovery It can even change the world and advance the course of history.”

"But us descendants, out of various selfish reasons, kept this thing and passed it down from generation to generation until it reached me."

Bi Ruxi chuckled, and there was a hint of relief between her brows.

"It's a pity that none of our descendants are as amazing and brilliant as our ancestors. In the end, they are just pearls covered in dust. Not to mention being able to inherit the mantle of our ancestors, we just want to refine some of the more powerful magic weapons here. Powerless."

"However, by chance, this thing ended up in the hands of Fellow Daoist Lu. Maybe it's God's will."

Bi Ruxi smiled and pushed Yu Jian back in front of Lu Yunze.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, please take this thing back. It's all due to the unworthy descendant Bi Ruxi who has done his filial piety to the ancestors."

Looking at the jade slip in front of him, Lu Yunze was at a loss for a while.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, from today onwards, I should let it go. This thing is just a burden to me." Bi Ruxi breathed a sigh of relief, calmly cupped her hands at Lu Yunze, turned and left the private room.

Only Lu Yunze was left alone, looking at the slightly yellowed jade slips, an inexplicable smile appeared on his lips.

After a long time, he stood up silently.

He also had an old friend he wanted to meet.
