"Yes, we meet again."

Looking at the tall young man standing in front of him, Chen Ming smiled and said.

The person in front of him was Lu Liang, whom he had met once before at the training ground. They chatted there for a while because of training matters, and the two exchanged names, so they became acquainted.

"We just met yesterday. I was still thinking about when the next meeting would be, but I didn't expect that I would meet my junior brother today."

Lu Liang shook his head, looked at Chen Ming and said with a smile.

"There aren't many disciples on Mount Yue, so it shouldn't be surprising for senior brother to see me."

Chen Ming put down the clean bowl in his hand and said.

"I'm different from you."

Lu Liang shook his head: "I have a family, so I am often away from the mountain. Naturally, I can't see you often."

"The time I met you yesterday was the first time I went up the mountain in the past six months."

"Brother, has something happened?" Fang Jia interjected, looking at Lu Liang in front of him.

"Something did happen."

Lu Liang nodded: "But it's not a big deal, I can solve it."

When he spoke, he had a smile on his face and his expression always looked calm, just like before.

While they were eating, they chatted here slowly. Lu Liang talked about everything down the mountain, while Fang Jia talked about the recent changes on Mount Yue one by one. The atmosphere was relatively harmonious for a while.

During their conversation, Chen Ming also learned something.

The Lu Liang in front of me runs an escort agency outside. When he works as a escort, he will naturally run into various accidents.

Most of the things were pretty good and Lu Liang could solve them by himself, but sometimes some things seemed troublesome to him, so he would go to Yue Mountain and ask his master to send people to help.

Luliang went up the mountain this time because of this.

"Is the world outside very chaotic?"

Sitting next to the two of them and listening to their conversation, Chen Ming couldn't help but interject and asked.

"More than just chaos..."

Lu Liang couldn't help but sigh, with a look of exhaustion on his face: "There are natural and man-made disasters, robbers are everywhere, ghosts are rampant, the number of things is so outrageous that it is almost impossible to live."

"In the past few years, I have been running darts outside, and I have seen cannibalistic tribesmen, and bandits who kill like crazy. I even almost stepped into an ancient temple occupied by evil spirits once, and there was a group of moving skeletons inside."

"Moving...skeleton?"

Hearing this, Chen Ming almost thought that he heard wrongly, and asked again in disbelief.

"That's right, it's a moving skeleton."

As if he remembered something, Lu Liang showed a wry smile on his face, mixed with some fear: "These are evil spirits. They can be found everywhere. For ordinary people, once they encounter them, they are basically dead."

"I was lucky that time. Due to some events, I didn't step into that ancient temple in the end. Otherwise, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to see me today."

He had a wry smile on his face, and it seemed that he still had lingering fears about what happened that time.

Seeing Lu Liang's appearance, Chen Ming fell into silence.

As early as when he first came to this world, he knew that the world was in chaos, but he did not expect that it would be so terrifying.

A moving skeleton already belongs to the category of supernatural beings.

"Like this kind of thing...does the court not care about it?"

After a long silence, Chen Ming spoke again.

"The imperial court..."

Lu Liang raised his head, was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It can't be controlled."

"There are too many similar things in the seventy-two states of Daqian. With the strength of the imperial court, even if all the masters come out together, they cannot level all the places in the world. They can only barely maintain the situation."

He smiled bitterly and said: "It's pretty good now. Although the world is a bit dangerous, it's at least pretty passable."

"Ten years ago, it was called terror..."

He recalled for a while and then said: "Ten years ago, the Southern Saint Sect rebelled. The leader of the Southern Saint Sect raised his arm and the eighteen states in the south were corrupted. It took three years to calm down."

"And in these three years, more than 100,000 households have died? Those so-called bandits and evil spirits are nothing compared to this."

Hearing this, Chen Ming also fell into silence.

When order still exists, people can survive even if life is difficult. But when the most basic order breaks down, the casualties will be more serious than any harsh government.

The history of previous lives has verified this truth time and time again, and the same is true in this world.

"In fact, the security in most places is pretty good."

In front of him, after a long silence, Lu Liang smiled again and said: "When the emperor is in power, he has worked hard to govern the country over the years. Things such as banditry have been reduced a lot over the years."

"As for those evil spirits, although they are terrifying and difficult to deal with, except for a few particularly powerful ones, not many people actually died."

He sighed and said: "Because it is easy for people to die, places where evil spirits occur are often easily turned into various forbidden areas. Coupled with the government sealing off, naturally no one will go there to die over time."

"The real danger of evil is when it first starts to happen..."

Not knowing what he thought of, he suddenly fell silent and did not continue to speak.

Chen Ming didn't pay attention, he just stood up silently, said something to Lu Liang in front of him, and then prepared to walk out.

"correct...."

At this moment, seeing Chen Ming getting up and preparing to leave, Lu Liang said seemingly unintentionally: "Junior brother, I see you are carrying a knife on your back, and you must be a good hand. Why don't you come down the mountain with me?"

"Staying on the Dayue Mountain is clean and peaceful, but it lacks some experience. Why don't you go down the mountain and follow your brother to gain knowledge?"

"Senior Brother Lu, he has just gone up the mountain to practice martial arts in Chang'an!"

Hearing what Lu Liang said, Fang Jia on the side quickly spoke.

"Just practicing martial arts?"

Lu Liang was a little surprised, but looking at Chen Ming in front of him, he still said: "I just practiced martial arts... It doesn't matter. Could it be that my brother will let Chang'an go into battle to kill the enemy in person?"

"If Chang'an is interested, he can just watch from the sidelines. It's just a good time for my brother to gain knowledge."

He had a friendly smile on his face and looked very enthusiastic.

Chen Ming was a little surprised.

If the other party didn't know that he had just practiced martial arts, he might have thought that he was a good fighter, so it wouldn't be surprising to get him to join the gang. But since the other party knew that he had just practiced martial arts, why was he still so enthusiastic?

Standing there, quietly feeling the other person's gaze, Chen Ming suddenly felt something was wrong.

The other party's gaze didn't seem to be looking at him, but at the long black knife hanging on his waist.

The long black knife was sheathed and hung on Chen Ming's waist, looking quite conspicuous.

Suddenly, he had some enlightenment in his heart, then he smiled and refused directly and said: "Senior brother, I understand your kindness, but I still have some homework to review recently, so I won't go down the mountain with my senior brother."

Although Yueshan Mountain is a bit boring, it is at least quiet enough and safe enough. And if you follow Luliang down the mountain in front of you, you still don't know what you will encounter in the end.

Moreover, Chen Ming has not forgotten the death of the original body.

Before arriving at Yueshan, Chen Qizhi's repeated warnings to him not to go down the mountain were still in his ears. Naturally, he could not wait for a safe place and insist on going down the mountain to seek death.

"That's it, that's fine."

Seeing Chen Ming's refusal, Lu Liang was not disappointed. He just smiled and said: "I will stay on the mountain for a long time. During this time, if junior brother changes his mind, he might as well come to me."

"sure."

Chen Ming agreed casually, but without hesitation, he greased his feet and ran away, heading directly outside the dining hall without any intention of staying here.

After his figure completely disappeared, Fang Jia finally couldn't help but speak.

"Senior brother, you know clearly that he is just a newly-initiated liberal arts disciple in Chang'an, why do you still ask him to come down from the mountain?"

She looked at Lu Liang and couldn't help but ask, with some dissatisfaction on her face.

"Junior sister Fang, you don't understand..."

After sighing softly, Lu Liang opened his mouth and said, "Have you seen the knife on Junior Brother Chen's waist?"

"Knife?" Fang Jia was stunned.

"That knife belongs to Elder Lu."

"As you said before, Junior Brother Chen and Elder Lu are as close as sons and nephews."

Without waiting for Fang Jia to speak, he continued: "Even if Junior Brother Chen goes down the mountain, he will definitely stay with me and there will be no danger. But given the relationship between Elder Lu and Junior Brother Chen, as long as Junior Brother Chen is by my side, Elder Lu will

When the time comes, I probably won’t ignore it.”

"Whether Elder Lu takes action himself or instructs others to help, my troubles will be easily solved."

"Besides, even if Elder Lu doesn't take action in the end, I won't lose at all."

On the same spot, Lu Liang looked at Fang Jia in front of him, and spoke in a profound tone.

Of course he won't lose.
