Zhutian: Everything starts from becoming a disciple of Uncle Jiu!

Chapter 561: Uncle Jiu: There is no way, I am young and I care about my reputation!
boom--

A huge pillar of lightning came down from the thunder layer with a loud bang. Wherever it passed, both the space and the air were torn apart by its aura of destruction and a little bit of the might of righteousness.

The scene that seemed like the end of the world made Wencai open his mouth in a daze. Even Qiu Sheng at this moment had a look of horror and opened his mouth. He looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, a scene that could only appear in vernacular novels.

Qiu Sheng stared with wide eyes at the huge lightning pillar that fell from the sky, and the yard in front of him that was covered by the lightning pillar and most of it was instantly destroyed. Just when he was wondering if this was a god, a voice came out of Wencai's mouth.

"Master!"

Wencai shouted with red eyes. He stared blankly at the huge lightning column covering the charity cemetery. Just as tears began to flow, a voice rang out: "Master is not dead, why are you crying?"

"Ah? Master is not dead!"

Wencai responded subconsciously, and after he finished answering, he saw the charity cemetery shrouded by a huge lightning pillar begin to light up with brilliant golden light!
The golden light hit the lightning pillar, and the two colors of blue and gold collided wildly, but in an instant, the bright golden light dyed half of the lightning pillar, making the overall azure blue lightning pillar appear half golden.

The gold color did not last long. With a bang, the lightning column disappeared, and the golden light also disappeared. What remained was a terrifying torrent that appeared as the gold and blue colors disappeared.

"Okay, wipe your tears and go!"

Zhao Zheng landed and said something to Wencai, then looked at Qiu Sheng who was staring at him warily. He moved his feet and his figure suddenly appeared in front of Qiu Sheng, causing Qiu Sheng's pupils to shrink suddenly.

"This speed..."

Qiu Sheng's pupils suddenly shrank, and he moved the sword in his right hand violently. The cold sword light slashed Zhao Zheng's neck at a high speed, causing Zhao Zheng to shake his head.

"I am a cultivator!"

"Xiu Xian?"

clang--

There was a sound of metal clashing and colliding. Qiu Sheng's pupils shrank again as he looked at the golden barrier that appeared in front of Zhao Zheng, blocking the sword in his hand. Just as he subconsciously wanted to put away the sword and run away, he saw Zhao Zheng's face strangely saying: "My fate is in my own hands!"

wow——

As he recalled all the past events, Qiu Sheng's expression suddenly turned ugly. Or rather, Dong Tianbao's expression suddenly turned ugly.

"Zhang Junbao, fuck..."

Snap——clang——

Zhao Zheng looked at Qiu Sheng, who landed on the ground with a thud after performing a 1,400-degree turn in the air, and then looked at the palm print on the golden barrier in front of him. He curled his lips and said, "After all, we are... brothers in the sect. Why do you always like to hit others?"

After saying this, Zhao Zheng ignored Wencai, who looked dumbfounded and had no idea what was going on, and took out a soul-summoning talisman and threw it towards the passage to the underworld.

Watching the ghosts being led into the underworld passage one by one by the soul-calling talisman, he looked at Shi Shaojian, the man lying on the ground who was about to die, and began to rescue him.
There was only a short period of time left for the rescue. After completing the rescue, Zhao Zheng threw a talisman paper that could close the passage to the underworld to Wencai, then carried Shi Shaojian and ran towards the charity cemetery.

"Big Brother, remember to close the passage to the underworld."

"Huh? Oh, okay..."

Wencai, who had just run to Qiu Sheng and was hesitating whether to use a ghost-exorcising talisman or a ghost-killing talisman on Qiu Sheng, nodded quickly.

Zhao Zheng hummed, and flashed to the charity cemetery where 90% of the buildings were destroyed by the lightning pillar. He looked at the funeral hall which was safe and sound in surprise, and thought to himself that the ancestor's corpse was actually fine!
He quickly came to the original inner courtyard, which was now several feet lower and crystallized...

Zhao Zheng curled his lips as he looked at the inner courtyard in front of him, which looked like a pond. He wondered how much soil would be needed to fill it up. Then he saw Uncle Jiu and Shi Jian confronting each other in the distance, several meters apart.

Both of them looked somewhat disheveled. Shi Jian's face was as pale as a putty wall, and there was a wound on his left chest that was emitting golden light and had not healed for a long time.

Uncle Jiu was in better condition. He had no obvious wounds on his body, except that he looked a little disheveled, as if he had been struck by lightning.

“Ahem… What a great Three Religions Immortal Slaying Technique. I didn’t expect you to… have such a deep plan… Ahem… Ahem…”

Shi Jian spat out blood while speaking, which made Zhao Zheng secretly wonder, Shi Jian used the method of showing the saint in front of the altar...

Oh.
You've already used your real body, right?!

After taking a look at the dust floating in the air, Zhao Zheng understood everything. Then he looked at Shi Shaojian who was being carried by him and silently made gestures to his uncle Jiu who could see him.

"..."

Uncle Jiu's eyelids twitched as he looked at Zhao Zheng who pointed at Shi Shaojian and then wiped his neck. He took a deep breath and was too lazy to look at Zhao Zheng again. Instead, he frowned and looked at Shi Jian in silence.

"Is there a possibility..."

Uncle Jiu paused as he spoke, his eyelids twitching as he looked at Zhao Zheng, who had thrown Shi Shaojian to the ground with a bang and came to his side. He said to Shi Jian, who seemed to not care about anything at all, "Big Brother, you're actually overthinking..."

"Humph……"

Shi Jian snorted coldly, but couldn't help but look back at Shi Shaojian. After finding that Shi Shaojian's limbs had been reattached, he breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Zhao Zheng with a hint of gratitude, and then sneered at Uncle Jiu, "You were like this back then, and you are still like this now!"

"???"

What's wrong with me?

Uncle Jiu had a puzzled look in his eyes. Shi Jian said, "You are still pretending even now, let me ask you, why didn't you choose Lightning Thunder Fist back then? And why did you go down the mountain the next day?"

"..."

Uncle Jiu's expression froze and his brows furrowed, which made Shi Jian cough a few times. He said as if it was just as I expected.

"Sure enough, you did it on purpose back then. You deliberately didn't choose the Lightning Thunder Fist and deliberately went down the mountain!" Shi Jian said coldly.

"so what?"

Uncle Jiu asked back with a blank expression, and before Shi Jian could speak, he continued, "What does it have to do with you that I go down the mountain?"

"you……"

Shi Jian's tone froze when he heard that. He glared at Uncle Jiu who was swearing again, which made Zhao Zheng whisper, "Master, he asked you why you didn't choose Lightning Thunder Fist."

"That's right, why don't you choose Lightning Thunder Fist?" Shi Jian spoke upon seeing this, and heard Uncle Jiu glaring at Zhao Zheng with an expression as if he was talking too much, and then he was silent for a while.

"I don't want to be the headmaster..."

As he said this, he didn't care whether Shi Jian believed it or not. He pursed his lips and said indifferently: "This is the first reason..."

"Ok?"

Shi Jian frowned, and after thinking quickly in his mind, he frowned and said, "Were you forced to go down the mountain by my uncle and others?"

"no……"

Uncle Jiu shook his head with a strange look on his face, and found that Shi Jian and Zhao Zheng were both looking at him, which made him roll his eyes.

"Actually... never mind. Let me tell you. The second reason, and the most important reason, is that I was so engrossed in the Sutra Library when I went with you to choose the exercises that day..."

Okay, he told the truth. It wasn’t that he was too engrossed in reading. It was simply that he didn’t know the rules of the Sutra Library.

He didn't know that when choosing a martial arts method, just turning the first few pages meant choosing that martial arts method. This resulted in him not having the chance to choose the Lightning Thunder Fist when he wanted to.

Because one person can only choose one martial arts method, although the Immortal Binding Method and the Immortal Beheading Method are two books, they are complementary.

Yes, in fact, he wanted to see the Lightning Thunder Fist at that time. Although his talent in thunder magic was average, it did not mean that he did not want to see it. After all, this was the thunder magic that was known as the best in attack.

Unfortunately, he had turned over too many times at that time, so he could only choose the Immortal Beheading Method, so he went down the mountain the next day. He had no other intention to go down the mountain.
He just felt a little embarrassed.
Right, that is it!

Of course, he actually wanted to curse the uncle in the Sutra Repository. Damn, he reminded him of this only after he had finished reading it.

"Because... it's embarrassing?"

Shi Jian looked at Uncle Jiu with a confused look on his face. Uncle Jiu nodded as if it was a matter of course: "Nonsense, if it weren't for the fear of embarrassment, I wouldn't bother to go down the mountain!"

Of course, this had a little to do with the fact that he was talking in his sleep at that time, so he went down the mountain. He had originally planned to travel for a few years, and then go back after things had settled down and he had mastered the Immortal Slaying Technique.

As a result, when he was about to finish his journey, he came to Renjia Town and found a reincarnation of an old man in the snow. Pah, he found a discarded literary talent.
Then, he accepted the frail and sickly Qiu Sheng as his apprentice... Then, he settled down in Renjia Town!
More than 20 years have passed in a flash!
"Really... just because you're afraid of being embarrassed?"

Shi Jian spoke in disbelief, his face full of confusion and puzzlement. He thought about many reasons why Lin Jiu went down the mountain that year.

Some deliberately disgusted him, some deliberately gave in to him, and some, including his uncle and others, forced Lin Jiu to go down the mountain.
But he never expected that... the real reason why Lin Jiu went down the mountain was because he was afraid of losing face.

"I can't help it. I'm young and I want to save face!"

Uncle Jiu sighed with a sigh. Zhao Zheng glanced at Uncle Jiu. He didn't mean anything else, nor did he mean that Uncle Jiu was embarrassed. Well, okay, okay.
He just wanted to say that Uncle Jiu is also looking good now!!

Uncle Jiu glanced at Zhao Zheng who lowered his head as he was staring, then looked at Shi Jian strangely and said uncertainly.

"You don't think I came down the mountain just to disgust you, do you? Oh, that's really the case, tsk tsk tsk tsk ..."

"..."

Shi Jian was silent, with a confused look on his face, but soon he frowned and regained his composure.

"You also thought about choosing Lightning Run..." "Don't get me wrong, I never thought about becoming a headmaster from the beginning to the end. I wanted to practice it purely because the Lightning Run Thunder Fist is so famous!"

Uncle Jiu spoke the truth. He didn't care whether Shi Jian said anything or not and continued on his own: "I'm different from you. I'm not interested in being the headmaster of Maoshan, because being the headmaster is very tiring..."

He felt a headache just thinking about the fact that the headmaster of Maoshan had to deal with all the big and small matters in Maoshan every day. What's more, it was impossible for him to be the headmaster!

"You...really don't want to be the headmaster?"

Shi Jian frowned, and Uncle Jiu nodded, then hesitated, wanting to say something, and looked at Shi Jian who was frowning.

"Big Brother, I think you must be confused. You are the strongest among our generation of disciples, but the headmaster never mentioned letting you take over as the next headmaster, right?"

"Um……"

Shi Jian nodded subconsciously. Uncle Jiu hesitated for a moment, then pointed at Shi Shaojian who was thrown on the ground far away by Zhao Zheng.

"Big Brother, it's time to face the past!"

He did not directly say that Shi Shaojian was Shi Jian's son, but only reminded him tactfully that he believed Shi Jian would...

Uncle Jiu frowned silently as he sensed the murderous intent emanating from Shi Jian. He frowned at the fleeting murderous intent.

"Big Brother, you should know what I am talking about!"

Shi Jian did not answer, but just frowned at Lin Jiu and Zhao Zheng. He was not stupid, he naturally knew what Lin Jiu was talking about, but he did not answer, just said.

"Lin Jiu, you win this time!"

Having said that, Shi Jian turned around and left, leaving Zhao Zheng helplessly shaking his head. After noticing that Uncle Jiu was looking at him, he pouted and walked forward.

"Master, you don't think the headquarters doesn't know about this, do you? Or do you actually dare not even think about whether they know about it?"

Shi Jian stopped and slowly turned his head to look at Zhao Zheng. At that moment, a bolt of thunder gathered out of nowhere and hit Zhao Zheng.

Uncle Jiu's face changed, and before he could make a move, he saw Zhao Zheng reach out and grab the angry thunder, rub it, throw it into his mouth, chew it a few times, and then spit it out, spitting out a stream of thunder saliva.

"Uncle Master, have you forgotten that I have been an 80% thunder spirit for a long time?" Zhao Zheng paused and said.

"A real man should dare to do what he wants..."

Looking at the angry thunder appearing in all directions, the environment in front of him that instantly turned into a field of thunder and lightning, and Shi Jian's changing emotions, Zhao Zheng raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Uncle Jiu.

"Big Brother, admit it!"

Uncle Jiu spoke with a complicated expression. Shi Jian, who had his back to Uncle Jiu, frowned and looked at Shi Shaojian. All the things in the past could not help but emerge in front of him, making his frowning brows frown even more. At the same time, voices rang in his heart...

"Oh, no wonder you can't become the headmaster..."

“So everyone knows about this…”

"Haha, no wonder you can't be the headmaster..."

Demonic sounds filled his ears. Shi Jian frowned and snorted coldly. Then, azure lightning flashed on his body and the demonic sounds in his ears disappeared. Then, he forced a smile and looked at Lin Jiu.

"You're right...!"

"Oh? Really? But why don't you dare to admit it?"

"..."

Shi Jian frowned as he looked at Lin Jiu who suddenly turned into his appearance. He raised his hand and blasted out a thunderbolt. As the other him exploded, he saw Zhao Zheng also turned into his appearance.

"Tsk, you coward..."

Shi Jian did not speak, but just raised his hand in the same way. As the environment fell into an eerie silence, he began to sit cross-legged, pinching seals and chanting spells to get rid of this strange state of mental demons. But just as he closed his eyes, a familiar voice rang out.

A sound that he had only heard in his dreams, and he still couldn't forget it.

"Shi Tou, have you eaten?"

Shi Jian's closed eyelids trembled, the seals in his hands became disordered, and the mantra he was chanting stopped instantly.

"Shitou, is that Shaojian? Why is he lying on the ground? Is he married? Did he meet a good family?"

The familiar voice sounded again, filling his ears and his heart. Even though he knew it was fake, Shi Jian couldn't help but open his eyes. A gentle smile appeared on his stiff face as he looked at the ordinary-dressed woman in front of him who was looking at Shi Shaojian: "No, Shaojian is still young and not suitable for marriage. I have already contacted her. In a few years, I will take him to Longhu Mountain to propose marriage."

"Ah? The girl is also a monk!"

"He is too naughty. Only by marrying him a wife who is more powerful than him can he be controlled!" Shi Jian said gently.

"Yeah, you know more, huh? How did you get injured? Did you go looking for that mountain lion again?" The woman squatted down and looked at the wound under Shi Jian's shoulder with heartache.

"No...no, it was an accident..."

Shi Jian paused unnaturally. He did not look at the woman's hand that had touched his wound, but only looked at the woman's face.

"Arou, you... haven't changed..."

"You haven't changed..."

The woman smiled gently, her eyes flushed red, and just as she was about to take action, she was horrified to find out...

She can't move!!!

"I've changed... I've gotten older..."

Shi Jian spoke with a smile, and after he finished speaking, he ignored the panic in the woman's eyes, slowly reached out his hand, gently touched the woman's face, then withdrew his hand, closed his eyes and sighed.

"Unfortunately, you...are not her..."

"How...how did you find me..."

The woman screamed in horror. Shi Jian's eyes flashed with disdain as he spoke of his discovery. Then, his expression turned into tenderness and he pointed to his forehead and said lightly.

"My inner demon... is only me!"

"you……"

The woman looked at Shi Jian's brows with horror, or rather, the fear that was suppressed in Shi Jian's heart, which made Shi Jian sigh.

"Ah~"

boom--

Brilliant blue lightning lit up and appeared in Shi Jian's inner demon world. When Shi Jian opened his eyes and regained consciousness, the fake woman was no longer in front of him.
His wounds only became more serious.
And Shi Shaojian who was unconscious in the distance.

"Big Brother, you..."

Uncle Jiu frowned as he looked at the wound on Shi Jian's left shoulder that had suddenly become serious. Shi Jian did not speak, but took a step forward to Shi Shaojian: "Remember to practice well..." As he said that, he smiled and turned around to look at Lin Jiu and Zhao Zheng.

“You are right…”

"Big brother"

Uncle Jiu smiled, but soon, the smile disappeared as he looked at Shi Jian who slapped him on the forehead, his expression changed drastically and he said, "Big Brother, don't!"

"If you are wrong... you must admit it..."

Shi Jian withdrew his hand and spoke. His already old face became even older at this moment. With just a breath, he aged more than ten years and was still aging. This was because he had wasted his own cultivation and his many years of hard practice.

Seeing this, Uncle Jiu came to Shi Jian in an instant and supported Shi Jian, who was unable to stand steadily. He saw Shi Jian looking towards the direction of Maoshan.

"I...I'm sorry, General..."

As he spoke, Shi Jian, who seemed to have aged by more than ten years, like a centenarian, took a quick breath and looked at the unconscious Shi Shaojian.

"I'm also sorry...to him...and his mother!"

After saying this, he forced a smile on his face and looked at Zhao Zheng who came to his side, and spoke with a pleading look.

"Help me...take care of...him..."

"No thanks, just take care of it yourself!"

Zhao Zheng shook his head. Hearing Uncle Jiu looking up at Zhao Zheng, he didn't understand why Zhao Zheng was so blind this time. He saw Zhao Zheng glanced at him and said.

"You should call me Grandmaster!"
