Chapter 58 Unlucky Lu Jin
After deciding to try the path of the interaction between heaven and man.
Li Cunzhen then spoke to Zhuge Yunhui.
He knew that the Wuhou Qimen was a family secret of the Wuhou School and could not be passed on to outsiders.
But what he knew even better was the allure of manipulating the Qimen Dunjia formations for sorcerers.
In the original story, Chen Jinkui, one of the Ten Elders, went mad after seeing others use the Feng Hou Qi Men technique.
Even Zhuge Qing, a member of the main group, was troubled by this, and it took many trials and tribulations to gradually dispel it.
Although the Eight Directions Reversal Technique is far inferior to the Feng Hou Qi Men Technique.
But there shouldn't be any problem finding another opportunity to learn Wuhou Qimen.
As expected, Zhuge Yunhui heard Li Cunzhen's conditions.
Although shocked, they did not completely reject the idea, but instead adopted Li Cunzhen's suggestion and went to consult their elders.
After a short wait.
Zhuge Yunhui brought back the news.
He said that his elders in his family did not agree, but they did not directly refuse either.
Instead, Li Cunzhen was to visit Zhuge Village after Ghost Hand King finished collecting favors.
Li Cunzhen readily agreed.
The two reached a temporary agreement and returned to the stage.
At this moment, the two sides competing on the stage are disciples of Wulou Jingang and disciples of Zirantang.
Li Cunzhen came to Zuo Ruotong's side.
He thought about his earlier guess and then about Zuo Ruotong's ending in the original novel.
Feeling a pang of sympathy, I couldn't help but ask.
"Master, what is the purpose of our cultivation?"
Zuo Ruotong did not hesitate.
"To become an immortal."
Upon hearing this, Li Cunzhen sighed and said nothing more.
Having spent so much time with Zuo Ruotong, although they are nominally master and disciple, their relationship is more like that of father and son.
Of course, I want Zuo Ruotong to have a better life.
I don't want him to end up like in the original story, giving up his life in despair after discovering that the Triple Rebirth technique couldn't lead to enlightenment.
But if Zuo Ruotong were to remain in a state of reverse growth, blindly striving towards an unattainable goal...
Li Cunzhen also felt that this was cruel.
The best approach is to help Zuo Ruotong heal her old injuries, then find a way to enlighten her and seek another way to achieve enlightenment.
Even if one still cannot become an immortal, one can still grow old peacefully.
Zuo Ruotong noticed that Li Cunzhen had something on his mind, but she didn't know the reason for it and was somewhat puzzled.
After much consideration, I decided not to ask any further questions.
After all, given Li Cunzhen's personality, he always spoke his mind directly.
Since he's not saying anything now, there must be a reason.
Li Cunzhen realized he had spoken out of turn and did not bring it up again.
The two watched for a while.
Before long, the disciple of the Vajra of No Leakage won.
The sun was setting, and it was already evening.
People from the Lu family approached Li Cunzhen.
"Master, the first round of the competition has ended. Now, the winners of the first round, please draw lots to determine the order of the second round."
Li Cunzhen nodded and followed the person to a small house.
He glanced at it.
The winners of the first round are all here.
He himself, Li Muxuan, Feng Ping, Feng Tianyang, Lu Jin, Zhang Zhiwei, the disciple of Wulou Vajra, and Lin Zifeng of Liuyun Sword.
The last one was also one of the Thirty-Six Thieves.
Upon seeing Zhang Zhiwei, Li Cunzhen recalled that he had never seen him compete on stage before.
Li Cunzhen's lips twitched slightly, then he looked at Zhang Zhiwei.
You're a really efficient worker.
Without a doubt, he knocked the person unconscious with a single slap, probably in less than ten seconds.
Then this process happened to occur during my conversation with Zhuge Yunhui.
Li Cunzhen looked over.
Zhang Zhiwei smiled and then cupped his hands in greeting.
"Fellow Daoist Li."
Li Cunzhen also responded with a cupped-hand salute.
After that, the others also greeted Li Cunzhen.
After all, this person's performance was truly outstanding.
Everyone wants to make friends with them.
Not only him, but Zhang Zhiwei, who is also significantly different from the others, received the same treatment.
Li Cunzhen responded to everyone without showing favoritism.
At this moment, Lu Jin saw that everyone had arrived and began her task.
He came here not only as a victor in one round, but also because he was a member of the Lu family.
He took out a box, which made a rustling sound when shaken, presumably containing crumpled paper.
Lu Jin glanced at Li Cunzhen and smiled.
"Senior brother, you've finally arrived! Come on, everyone's here now, let's draw lots quickly."
"There are eight crumpled pieces of paper inside, in pairs, labeled A, B, C, and D. The pair that draws the same number is the opponent for the next round."
As he spoke, he took the lead and pulled out a crumpled piece of paper.
Then I couldn't wait to open it.
He glanced at the words on the crumpled paper and waved it around.
"I'm A! Anyone else like me, please tell me!"
Next were the most impatient Feng Ping and Li Muxuan.
"I'll do it! I'll do it!"
The two reached out and opened their hands almost simultaneously.
Fengping spoke excitedly.
"I am Ding!"
Li Muxuan also said.
"I am C."
Next came Feng Tianyang and that disciple of Wulou Jingang.
They are C and B, respectively.
Li Cunzhen and Lin Zifeng also made their move at this time.
The former drew B, and his opponent was the disciple of the Vajra without flaws.
The latter drew Ding, and his opponent was Fengping.
The disciple of Wulou Jingang glanced at the note, then at Li Cunzhen, his expression shifting from disbelief to acceptance, and finally to a bitter smile.
Li Cunzhen touched his nose and thought to himself, "I'll hit you slower later."
Fengping was somewhat disappointed.
He did hope to meet Li Cunzhen or Zhang Zhiwei.
However, Lin Zifeng is not bad either.
Lin Zifeng carried a long sword on his back, his face expressionless.
At this point, only Zhang Zhiwei remained who hadn't drawn a lot. He sat on a recliner, spreading his hands.
"Then I don't need to smoke, right?"
Li Cunzhen glanced at Zhang Zhiwei, then at Lu Jin.
It seems like they've realized something.
She glanced at Lu Jin with pity.
Poor kid, what's meant to happen will happen.
But Lu Jin seemed oblivious to everything.
He looked at Zhang Zhiwei, nodded, and smiled.
"Master, it seems I will be your opponent tomorrow."
Zhang Zhiwei nodded as well.
Okay, I hope you really are my opponent.
The others in the room were also somewhat surprised by Lu Jin's behavior, but they tacitly kept quiet.
The draw then concluded.
Everyone left, preparing to return to the guest rooms that the Lu family had prepared for their respective sects.
The Li brothers and Lu Jin walked at the back.
After chatting for a while, Li Muxuan finally couldn't help but ask.
"Lu Jin, why didn't you react at all when you drew the tall Taoist priest in the lottery?"
He had watched Zhang Zhiwei's competition.
The opponent was a master of the talisman school.
But Zhang Zhiwei rushed over in one stride, and before the man could even use his talisman, he was knocked unconscious with a slap.
They no longer have any fighting ability.
Zhang Zhiwei did it all as if he were pushing a puppet over, without lifting a finger.
To be honest, even this brat was taken aback by his powerful performance.
Most importantly, the way they lost was really embarrassing.
Therefore, normal people don't want to run into him.
Lu Jin was taken aback upon hearing this.
"What happened to that tall Taoist priest?"
He glanced at Li Cunzhen and said with some smugness.
"As long as I don't draw my senior brother in the lottery, I'm not afraid of anyone else!"
Li Muxuan looked puzzled and asked again.
"Didn't you watch the sixth match?"
Lu Jin answered.
"No, I was pulled away in the evening to make the lottery box and slips of paper."
Both Li Cunzhen and Li Muxuan twitched at the corners of their mouths upon hearing this.
It's okay, ignorance is bliss.
They patted the bewildered Lu Jin on the shoulder, then slowly left.
