Confucian and Taoist scholar

Chapter 272 The Demon King Gets Married
Lu Zheng looked at Qing Wan and asked curiously, "Do you have a Wen Palace now?"

Some who are promoted to the second level of Confucianism and Taoism will open up a Wen Palace on their own. If Qing Wan has not opened it, they may need to go to the Wen Temple or ask him for help.

"Huh? Let me see!"

Qing Wan realized it later and closed her eyes to sense her inner sea of consciousness.

After a while, she opened her eyes and said happily, "There is one! But it's very small, a stone house, ten feet long and wide..."

Qingwan gestured with her little hands, describing the appearance of her Wen Palace.

Lu Zheng couldn't help but nod and said, "Very good! Some scholars' Wen Palaces are not as complete as yours. It seems that your study during this period has been very effective."

Qing Wan stared at Lu Zheng and said quietly, "Your palace is much, much bigger than mine. Doesn't that mean you're incredibly powerful?"

Qing Wan thought of Lu Zheng’s Wen Palace Hall. Her own Wen Palace hut was so tiny and could not be compared at all.

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "I am quite special. I have received guidance from a saint. You can't compare with me."

"Oh, that's right!" Qing Wan muttered softly as she sat cross-legged beside him, "I'll also need a saint to guide me in the future!"

Lu Zheng said: "Then you have to work hard."

Qing Wan nodded excitedly and then flipped through the books.

After finishing his meal, Lu Zheng took out a bound blank book and started writing a draft.

As the people suffered from many problems, he planned to use what he had learned to compile two new books, one on agriculture and the other on medicine.

Writing books for people to learn, so that they can have a stable livelihood and avoid the suffering of diseases as much as possible is also a way to save the world.

However, Lu Zheng was not a professional in these two areas, so he could only record the knowledge accumulated in two lives in bits and pieces, and then slowly revise and edit it.

After writing several pages of densely packed papers, Lu Zheng found that his literary style had improved a little bit.

Although it's not much, it proves that what he did was useful.

Ordinary Confucian and Taoist scholars who want to improve their literary style also study various classics, and then have their own understanding and insights, thereby improving themselves.

To reach the level of a Confucian scholar, it is difficult to improve one's literary taste by just reading books of sages and writing ordinary articles.

The best way for Confucian scholars to increase their literary influence is to write books, establish branches and recruit disciples.

If one can write a book and establish a school of thought that is recognized by many scholars, it is not impossible to be promoted directly to a great scholar.

However, Lu Zheng has not thought that far. Firstly, he only has a vague idea of the path he wants to take. Secondly, with his style of doing things, it is difficult for many literati to support him.

The road ahead is long and arduous... Lu Zheng sighed in his heart.

The road he was going to take was destined to be full of thorns and numerous difficulties and obstacles.

At this time, the sound of soft music came from a distance.

Lu Zheng listened carefully. It was the sound of suona. The tune was not very good, but joyful.

Lu Zheng looked at the surrounding environment and wondered if there was a village in this deep mountain?

He thought for a moment, packed up his things, and stood up, saying to Qing Wan beside him, "Let's go, it's time to hurry."

Qing Wan looked at the sky and couldn't help but say, "It's getting dark, isn't it?"

"Let's go and see what's going on." Lu Zheng said.

"What's going on?" Qing Wan looked curious.

Her six senses were not as sharp as Lu Zheng's, and she didn't hear the faint sound of the suona at all.

Lu Zheng said as he walked: "Go and see and you will know."

Qingwan followed quickly with her short legs.

After a while, she also heard the sound echoing in the mountains.

"Huh? Is someone getting married?" Qing Wan couldn't help but ask.

Lu Zhengdao: "You still know how to get married."

Qing Wan nodded her head. "I've seen it in the city before. It also made the same sound, but it sounded much better than this."

Lu Zheng followed the sound, but found no trace of human beings along the way. Instead, he sensed a mixed demonic aura.

"There is a demon..."

Qing Wan also reacted quickly and reminded him.

The two of them restrained their breath tacitly and followed silently.

But I saw a team in the forest. There were two strong men carrying a big sedan chair, and several people in front and behind were carrying heavy gifts. A thin old man was walking in front and playing the suona, and the sound was a bit sharp and piercing.

Lu Zheng only took one glance to see through that these were monsters in disguise.

And in the sedan chair, there was a woman wearing a bright red wedding dress, who was in a coma.

The woman was a human, and a warrior at that, and seemed to be under some restrictions.

The old man walking in front suddenly stopped and the sound of suona suddenly stopped.

The old man couldn't help but look around, and inexplicably felt a chill on his back.

After finding nothing unusual, the old man said, "Hurry up! Don't miss the auspicious time and keep the king waiting anxiously!"

Upon hearing this, the monsters quickly quickened their pace and headed towards a valley as fast as the wind.

Lu Zheng withdrew his spiritual sense and followed Qing Wan all the way.

When he got outside the valley, Lu Zheng found that there were some demon guards around.

The situation inside the valley is still unknown. If we fight our way in, there will inevitably be some who escape.

He couldn't help but ponder for a while, looked at Qing Wan beside him, and then whispered something.

Qing Wan understood what he said and nodded in response.

"Let's go." Lu Zheng said, and took Qing Wan to the valley.

As soon as the two appeared, they attracted the attention of several guards.

"who!"

A monster wearing armor strode towards them. Judging from its aura, it was obvious that it was a monster of the third realm.

Lu Zheng smiled faintly, "We heard that the Demon King was getting married, so we came to congratulate him."

Upon hearing this, Qing Wan, who was standing next to her, had grass leaves appear on her body and a pure demonic aura emerged.

Then, Qingwan raised her little hand and took out a big box.

When the box was opened, it was filled with spiritual stones, full of spiritual charm and sincerity.

When the monster saw so many spirit stones, his eyes suddenly lit up and revealed a hint of greed.

He couldn't help but look at Lu Zheng, and asked, "Which mountain are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?"

The two in front of him looked too much like humans. If they hadn't revealed their aura, he wouldn't have realized they were monsters.

Lu Zheng explained, "We're from Hongzhou. The officials there are eradicating demons and ghosts. We came all the way here and heard of the Demon King's great name, so we came to see him."

The monster was simple-minded and didn't think too much before saying, "You are fleeing here!"

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Please ask this warrior to introduce a few to the king."

As he spoke, Lu Zheng took out an extra handful of spirit stones and gave them to the monster in front of him.

Seeing this, the monster had no reason to refuse. He happily accepted the spirit stone and said, "Very good, very good. The king has invited many monsters to his wedding this time. If you want to settle down here, you have come to the right place! Come on, I will take you to meet the king!"

Lu Zheng thought that this guy was too easy to fool. They didn't even ask him carefully?

The monster led the way in front and enthusiastically explained some of the situation to the two.

Few people had ever given him so many spirit stones before, so the monster was very happy and talked a lot.

Lu Zheng learned some useful information from the monster's words.

It turns out that the demon king here is indeed quite famous, and even some practitioners have made friends with him.

No wonder the monster didn't suspect anything when they came to visit.

However, having a reputation is not necessarily a good reputation.

Along the way, Lu Zheng and Qing Wan quietly spread some beans.

When we arrived outside a cave, we heard the restrictive fluctuations of a formation.

The monster took the wooden box from Qing Wan and said, "Wait outside for a moment, I'll go tell the king!"

After saying that, the monster took the box and entered the cave.

When Qing Wan saw the monster taking the spirit stone, she stared at it eagerly, feeling a little reluctant and worried that the monster would keep the spirit stone for herself.

Lu Zheng had a calm expression and quietly used his spiritual sense to observe the situation around him.

Inside the cave, there were singing birds and dancing swallows, and people were drinking and chatting. It was very lively.

A man in white sat in the central seat, with a beautiful woman beside him offering him fine wine from time to time.

There were also some monsters, monks and warriors sitting in some seats around.

Many people heard that the Demon King was getting married and came to congratulate him.

This was not the first time that the demon king had married. The main purpose of holding such a party was to strengthen his influence among the local forces.

When the man heard his subordinate's report, he couldn't help but think for a moment, then ordered: "Let them in and arrange a seat!"

No matter what the visitor's purpose is, since he has sent so many spirit stones, I have to meet him.

"Okay, my king!" the monster responded quickly.

The monster put down the gift box and hurried to invite Lu Zheng and the others.

Then, Lu Zheng and the other person entered the cave smoothly.

When he arrived at the cave hall, Lu Zheng took a quick look and found that there were quite a lot of people here.

There are actually more than one person who displays the aura of the fourth realm of cultivation.

The man in white couldn't help but look up when he saw Lu Zheng and the other man. "Are you from Hongzhou?"

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "That's right, it's my first time here..."

Just then, there was a noise outside.

Lu Zheng couldn't help but pause and glanced sideways.

Others were also attracted and looked sideways.

"Brother Jiang is getting married, but why didn't you tell me? If I hadn't happened to come here, I wouldn't have known about it..."

A burly man walked into the cave, and the ground shook slightly with his steps.

When Lu Zheng saw the person coming, a word inexplicably popped up in his mind: barbaric bull.

Another fourth-level monster... Lu Zheng's eyes moved slightly. The aura emitted by the newcomer was much stronger than that of the vine monster he had killed.

The man in white stood up to greet the newcomer, smiling, "Brother Niu, please take a seat! I just had a last-minute wedding to attend, so I didn't have time to invite you..."

The man in white apologized for a while. The strength of this big monster was comparable to his. He was a monster from the neighboring county. He would occasionally communicate with him, and the relationship between the two sides was quite good.

When other monsters and cultivators saw him, they also greeted him.

With this interruption, no one paid attention to Lu Zheng and the others.

A monster prepared a seat and invited Lu Zheng and the other man to sit down. The seat was not at the front and was not very conspicuous.
