Lu Li could see the loss in Chen Changdu's heart, but he didn't say much, let alone comfort him, because he couldn't give any definite guarantee.
After reading the county annals, Lu Li felt a sense of urgency in his heart.
Although the mermaid and Lu Taoist are only recorded in the county annals as stories, no one can confirm that they are true.
??But nothing comes out of nowhere, there must be a reason for everything to happen.
If rumors want to spread, they must be backed by some truth.
There are so many stories about ghosts and gods in the countryside, why are only these two stories recorded in the county annals? There must be something magical about them.
And this kind of magical story is a terrible danger to him, a danger that can cost him his life.
"I'm still too weak now. I can't help the world at all. It's hard to be alone, and I can't give any guarantee to others." Lu Li felt quite powerless in his heart.
Although the gray energy was discovered after the death of the female corpse and the experience point mechanism was understood, if you want to obtain the gray energy, you must first kill the extraordinary life.
But since they are called extraordinary beings, how can any of them be ordinary?
Even that zombie is not that easy to deal with.
If you want to kill others to gain experience, you must first ensure that you will not be harvested by others, otherwise it is no different from seeking death.
Lu Li didn¡¯t want to gamble with his life. He must be stronger than the monsters he encountered.
With a hint of melancholy and feeling the depressing atmosphere in front of him, Lu Li smiled and changed the subject.
"Master Chen, have you ever heard of the name Daoren Lu?"
In Lu Li¡¯s opinion, Lu Daoren was undoubtedly a very capable person if he could help Gao Wenduan to be promoted all the way.
Since he is willing to contact Gao Wenduan, it means that he is not far away from the ordinary people. He should have left some deeds more or less, and he might be very famous in this world.
Maybe you can learn a thing or two from the words of Chen Changdu in front of you and explore the other party's true and false situation.
"Taoist Lu?"
Hearing this name, Chen Changdu felt a little confused in his eyes.
"He is a Taoist priest named Lu. I don't know his specific name or where he comes from. However, a hundred years ago, he had an encounter with Gao Wenduan, who was the magistrate of Xinyang County at the time." Seeing Chen Changdu's confusion, Lu Li added.
"Highly genteel?"
Chen Changdu repeated the name. He was a little confused at first, but soon remembered it and asked aloud: "But Gao Zaifu during the Yuanlong period?"
Yuanlong period?
There is no era name recorded in the county annals, and Lu Li does not know who the emperor Gao Wenduan was at that time, but Gao Zaifu must be Gao Wenduan.
So Lu Li nodded slightly and said affirmatively: "That's exactly the person."
Having received the confirmation, a lot of the doubts in Chen Changdu's mind were gone. When he thought about Lu Li's previous question to Taoist Lu, his heart moved slightly, and he knew the cause and effect, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, have you read the Xinyang County Chronicle?"
As the magistrate of Xinyang County, Chen Changdu naturally read the Xinyang County Chronicles, but he focused on the history, geography, customs, characters, culture, education, products, etc., and only skimmed over some of the other weird stories recorded in them. , not paying much attention to it.
So when he first heard about Taoist Lu, he didn't think of it until he contacted Gao Wenduan and he came back to his senses.
Lu Li did not deny it and nodded directly: "Yes, this afternoon, when Lu had nothing to do, he looked at the county chronicle and saw the story about the mermaid and Taoist Lu. He was quite curious, so he asked this question."
Chen Changdu nodded slightly, stroked his beard, and then mused: "Actually, I don't know much about Taoist Lu. It can even be said that I had never heard of it before I came to Xinyang as an official and read the county annals.
¡°I didn¡¯t know that Gao Zaifu had such a miraculous experience when he was the magistrate of Xinyang County.
¡°When I read that story before, I just treated it as a funny thing and laughed it off.
As for mermaids, many fishermen go out to fish in the Xinyang coast. The waves are dangerous and misfortune depends on the sky. Therefore, fishermen are very superstitious and all kinds of strange stories are spread.
Among them, mermaids are more widely spread, and even people in the inland have heard of it.
¡°It¡¯s just that I have been an official for a long time and have been to many places. It has been five years since I came to Xinyang County, but I have never really seen such a strange thing as a mermaid. "
After experiencing the walking corpse incident, Chen Changdu did not deny the existence of mermaids outright, and even vaguely felt in his heart that the rumors may not be false.
But the truth of the matter may only be in front of youOnly this immortal knows.
Lu Li listened to Chen Changdu's story silently, feeling a little disappointed in his heart.
He originally thought that he could get information about Taoist Lu from the other party's mouth, and even know where the other party frequented and where the immortal mansion was. If there was a chance in the future, he could also visit him and ask for advice.
But now it seems that Chen Changdu doesn¡¯t know as much as he does.
"But think about it, the other person is just a mortal, and he only comes into contact with mundane things, so how can he know too much about these weird and miraculous things.
But even though he thought so in his heart, Lu Li was still unwilling to give up. He changed his direction and asked, "What about the Taoist named Lu? Is there a Taoist named Lu in Daxia? Well Immortal Lu is more famous, and time is short. It can be limited to a hundred years ago, or from ancient times to the present.¡±
"Immortal Lu" Chen Changdu frowned slightly. He went through it in his mind. Among the immortals spread throughout Daxia, there seemed to be no one with the surname Lu.
However, since the scope of control has been extended from Taoists to immortals, Chen Changdu also exerted his bureaucratic instincts and expanded it to include gods and even all strangers.
Such an expansion finally reminded him of an existence.
So after a moment of hesitation, Chen Changdu said: "Mr. Lu, after thinking about it, I don't think there is an immortal named Lu in all parts of Daxia.
"However, I thought of an existence. His surname was Lu, and he had a certain relationship with Xinyang County and Gao Zaifu. Perhaps he was Taoist Lu. "
Lu Li was a little disappointed when he heard that there was no Immortal Lu, but he didn't expect that he would be surprised when he turned around. He immediately asked: "Who is it?"
Chen Changdu did not answer immediately, but turned his head to look to the west. The night was getting darker, and even though the moon was bright and white, he could only see some shadow outlines.
Lu Li looked along his line of sight and heard Chen Changdu's voice.
"To the west is the Chenghuang Temple in the county. My wife often goes there to burn incense and worship the gods. One day I mentioned that the surname of the Town God in the county is Lu."
The voice fell.
Thunder suddenly sounded in Lu Li's mind.
City God!
The last name is Lu!
These four words echoed repeatedly in his heart, and he could not hide his shock.
"There can be no mistake. That Taoist Lu must be the City God."
Lu Li never expected that the so-called Taoist Lu could actually be like this.
