Under One Person: The Seeker of the Dao in the Lü Family

Chapter 118 You should be able to contact Zhou Sheng, right? The Golden Peak Refining True Man begin

Despite Hong Yin's urging, Lü Qian suppressed his sorrow and smiled at the disrespectful old man on the stone platform.

Lu Qian naturally respected them, but that didn't mean he would obey them in everything. With a flash of light, he transformed into a ragged, emaciated old Taoist priest.

After the transformation, Lü Qian sat cross-legged on the ground, and when he opened his mouth, his voice was exactly the same as Hong Yin's.

"Since Grandmaster Hong has made a request, I should naturally comply. But I wonder if I may use this face and figure to cry?"

Lu Qian's appearance and demeanor were exactly the same as Hong Yin's. He also had his hair down and asked Hong Yin on the stone platform.

"you!"

The previously manic Hong Yin immediately fell silent. He pointed at "himself" below and said through gritted teeth, "Fine, fine, fine, you really are a monkey."

"Very well, I'm an old man on my deathbed, I won't bother with such things."

"Just tell me to wait, and you'll be willing to take a gamble with the three of us?"

He and the other three on the stone platform stared intently at Lü Qian below, making sure he was watching his every move.

After all, this gamble is essentially asking people to risk their lives as stakes, and the danger involved is undeniable.

"This junior agrees!"

Lu Qian transformed back into his original form and bowed respectfully to the four old men on the stone platform.

"I am Lü Qian. From the very beginning of my cultivation, I was prepared to sacrifice myself to attain enlightenment. Since then, I have diligently cultivated and honed my skills."

"After going up the mountain, I realized where the path of enlightenment was and embarked on my own path of life."

"After descending the mountain, I traveled east and west, exploring every path in my heart. Now, I have encountered demons in my cultivation, and it is time for me to overcome them and eliminate them."

"This junior is here to express my gratitude to everyone for your help!"

As he spoke, his forehead struck the ground, a dull thud echoing through the cave.

Seeking the Way, seeking the Way, the heart is as calm as water and as radiant as gold.

A pure-hearted traveler cannot stop until the journey is complete.

Since the other party dared to gamble with his life, Lü Qian, as a seeker of the Dao, would naturally not be stingy with his own life. As long as the Daoist Master is alive, the path of the Dao will continue!

Lü Qian's answer did not surprise the four elders, and they nodded.

"Let us ask you, where do you come from, you traveler?"

The elderly man surnamed Fang spoke calmly, as if asking about some philosophical wit.

But Lü Qian quickly realized what was happening. He didn't get up, but replied in a deep voice, "My name is Lü Qian, Lü from the Lü family, Qian from Wudang, Lü Qian from Taoism, and Lü Zu of later generations!"

"I come from where I came, and I am going to where I am going. I have been traveling slowly along this path."

The other party's main purpose was not to play riddles with Lü Qian, but to ascertain Lü Qian's stance.

They can't possibly go through all that trouble and effort to create an ascendant, only to have that person take advantage of them and then turn their backs on them. That won't do.

Upon hearing Lü Qian's reply, the three old men on the stone platform nodded again, "Good!"

"Now, if I do the math, I don't know if it's fate or destiny, but you've been around for almost seven years, which is in line with the time we set at the beginning."

The old man surnamed Lu frowned and calculated for a moment, "Four months from now, on the day of the Awakening of Insects, we will summon heavenly thunder at the Golden Summit."

"You should stay here in seclusion for the next four months to stabilize your life."

"When the time comes, success or failure will depend entirely on you!"

"yes!"

After saying that, Lü Qian flashed and transformed into a golden light, disappearing into the cave behind the four people.

"Bang!"

The stone gate closed again, and the runes, flowing and turning, disappeared into the mountain wall.

On the stone platform, the three mad old men looked at Zhou Meng, who remained silent, and exchanged glances.

Hong Yin spoke first, her tone full of sarcasm, "Senior brother, why aren't you saying anything?"

"Alright, I don't have time to argue with you right now. What we want to ask is, you should be able to contact that Zhou Sheng, right?"

Hong Yin slowly uttered the name "Zhou Sheng," his face full of intriguing expressions.

"We've all figured things out now, and we can understand some of the old stories."

"That kid from the Lü family probably learned the 'Feng Hou Qi Men' technique from him, right?"

Faced with Hong Yin's questioning, Zhou Meng lowered his head and did not answer. However, Hong Yin was relentless and the other two old men beside him did not stop her.

"You little monkey don't know how to, and don't dare to, touch the [Feng Hou Qi Men]. Now that I think about it, only that big monkey Zhou Sheng would have the courage to pass on the [Feng Hou Qi Men]."

"Given that big monkey's style, this matter would probably have caused quite a stir in front of you, and he might even be making a fuss about some kind of historical allusion..."

As he spoke, Hong Yin revealed a meaningful smile, his words becoming increasingly vulgar, "I don't believe that you two monkeys didn't do something shady when you met!"

As if unable to bear Hong Yin's mockery any longer, Zhou Meng jumped off the stone platform and stood with the three of them on his back. "Enough, Junior Brother, are you still resentful that Zhou Sheng didn't thoroughly understand the [Feng Hou Qi Men] before bringing it back to Wudang?"

"No, I stopped complaining years ago."

Seeing that Zhou Meng, the usually silent clam, had finally spoken, Hong Yin stopped her pressing words. "After being foolish and naive for decades, we are already very satisfied that he has found his own path in his later years."

The two elders, Fang and Lu, nodded in agreement. Then, the elder surnamed Fang spoke up, "Zhou Sheng went to Wudang Mountain twice to persuade the three of us to stop. But we were so lost that we threatened to kill ourselves, and the big monkey had no choice."

"There is no way out of calamity; one must save oneself."

The old man surnamed Lu shook his head. "We have important business with him this time. Although the trouble that the young man from the Lü family is going through can be resolved by the Golden Summit Tribulation, we still need someone to control the timing."

"If you want to recreate the cycle of Qi and reverse the flow of Qi, the most convenient method is to use the microcosmic and macrocosmic circulation methods of the Feng Hou Qi Men."

"But the three of us failed to master the Feng Hou Qi Men, and at the moment the lightning was drawn from the Golden Summit, we could only focus on manipulating the Qi Men formation to replenish the Qi of the Lu family."

"With our current weakened bodies, we are already barely managing."

Hong Yin continued, "Therefore, we need someone who is not afraid of the tribulation to control the timing and help that Lu family brat succeed."

"The wind has seventy-two transformations, encompassing everything within the universe, and Zhou Sheng, that great monkey, is the most suitable person for it."

After listening to the three of them, Zhou Meng pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, I'll go back and inform Big Monkey, but whether he'll come back or not is another matter."

"Don't worry, that big monkey is still waiting to be included in the classics, hahaha..."

……

Four months later, on the night before the Awakening of Insects (Jingzhe) solar term.

A damp mountain breeze swept by as four old men and one young man walked silently up the mountain steps leading from the back of the mountain to the Golden Summit.

"It's about to get windy."

Zhou Meng touched the air; the slightly damp feeling seemed to be soaking his Taoist robe.

He squinted at the dim night sky. "The Awakening of Insects will arrive in an hour."

"Speaking of which, where is Sage Zhou?"
