Under One Person: I Rebuilt Trinity Gate in Modern Times
Chapter 84: Mantis Catches Cicada
Chapter 84: Mantis Catches Cicada (4k)
Qin Che secretly remembered Hou Lian in his heart, but did not say it out loud.
Qin Che's target is the Four Madmen. It would be easy to capture Hou Lian now, but that would probably cut off the clues.
In the next few competitions, Qin Che watched the whole process carefully. Among these people, Huang Jing was the undisputed first place, but in fact there were only eight people participating in total, and some of them did not give their best.
What really needs to be tested is the practice of rebirth. The current strength does not mean anything. It is just a chat to relieve boredom.
In the days that followed, Qin Che would appear here whenever he had free time.
In the past few days, the number of members of the Lu family has gradually increased.
They were busy preparing for the opening ceremony of Wuyuan Mountain. The old senior from the Huode Sect who sent his great-grandson here also came to the Lu family the day after Qin Che arrived. While taking care of his descendants, he also came to support the opening ceremony.
Several elders of the Lu family also returned one after another, such as Lu Linglong and Lu Lin’s father and grandfather, who appeared in the Lu family from time to time.
But more of them are on Wuyuan Mountain.
As for Lu Jin, the patriarch of the Lu family, he rarely shows up, except for the morning exercises every two days. Lu Jin will take the children who are learning Ni Sheng to the inner hall to explain the key points of practicing the two Qi together and Yuan Yang Xing Ting in the three levels of Ni Sheng.
The rest of the time was spent on Wuyuan Mountain, dozens of kilometers away, discussing development details with the department responsible for development and the investment company.
Although the Lu family did not intend to make this money, Wuyuan Mountain was Lu Jin's former mountain gate, so they naturally took this matter very seriously.
Every step and every detail was decided by Mr. Lu himself. Mr. Lu knew all about the Feng Shui, including which areas could not be moved, which rocks could not be drilled, which courtyards should be preserved, which areas could not be entered, where there were pavilions and towers, where there were steep mountain roads, and where were suitable for viewing platforms.
In fact, Lu Jin had stopped interfering in the specific operations of the family decades ago.
After all, Lu Jin's grandchildren and great-grandchildren have all reached the age where they can take on important responsibilities. This is the first time in all these years that an exception has been made regarding Wuyuan Mountain, and the level of seriousness is far greater than before.
Once the old man became interested in this, both the middle-aged and young generations of the Lu family were busy and their minds were all focused on Wuyuan Mountain.
The elders of the Lu family were busy on Wuyuan Mountain every day, which made Yun Lingxi, Bai Shixue and others who had been practicing on Wuyuan Mountain unable to stay there, so they returned to the Lu family together.
Although these people appear to be Lu Linglong's playmates, they are essentially extraordinary people trained by the Lu family.
The time for the Leaving Mountain Ceremony was getting closer and closer. Hou Lian had not made any moves beyond the established rules since he showed some signs of weakness that day, which made Qin Che somewhat anxious.
This feeling of knowing that the enemy has sneaked in, but not knowing where they are or what they want to do is really unsettling. Qin Che thought that if there was still no movement from Hou Lian in a few days, he would have to control him by force before the opening ceremony.
The methods used by the Four Madmen were very obscure. In the circle of extraordinary people, if one did not use their methods directly, it was actually very difficult to tell whether a person was an extraordinary person or whether he had any problems. Especially as long as one wanted to conceal it deliberately, it would be almost impossible to find any traces. After all, Qi was invisible and intangible. Zhang Chulan had been hiding it for ten years and no one could tell.
On this day, Qin Che was preparing to go out for food with Lu Lin.
Suddenly, several boys and girls appeared in the distance.
The leader was naturally Lu Linglong, who waved and smiled towards Qin Che and Lu Lin, "Brother! Brother Che!"
Qin Che looked and saw six people standing next to Lu Linglong. Zhi Jinhua, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, was also there. When he noticed that Qin Che was looking at him, a slightly flustered expression appeared on his face, and he raised his hand to greet Qin Che.
A fat man in a programmer's plaid shirt came forward.
He looked Qin Che up and down and said, "You are Qin Che? I didn't expect that there is a person in the circle of extraordinary people that I have never heard of."
"Canglong, you are here too." Lu Lin saw the fat man in front of him and obviously recognized him.
A man next to Lu Linglong, wearing a strange mask and exposing his chest, put his hands on his hips and said, "He's like a dog-skin plaster. He'll come to where Linglong is, and this time is no exception."
"Hey! Don't slander my image in front of Linglong!" Canglong turned around and said angrily.
"Do you think your image as a fat guy needs to be vilified?"
That person also said indifferently.
When these two people bickered with each other, you could feel that they were very familiar with each other.
Lu Linglong held her forehead helplessly.
Then he walked up to Qin Che and introduced them one by one: "This is my friend, Canglong. He is considered to be well-informed in the circle."
Qin Che extended his hand, and Cang Long also extended his hand and the two shook hands: "Qin Che, nice to meet you."
Lu Linglong continued to introduce them to Qin Che: "Hua'er, you know her. That one is Bai Shixue, the one who just spoke is Yun, the one with yellow hair is Xi, and the last one is Ling!"
The people around Lu Linglong are all nice, so Qin Che naturally greets them one by one. Among them, Canglong is the most interested in Qin Che, and it seems that he is determined to find out Qin Che's identity.
Qin Che roughly understood that Lu Lin and Lu Linglong knew that he had a connection with the company, but they did not tell Canglong.
It was quite lively when the two groups got together. Everyone was laughing and preparing to go to the city to eat together.
When I was about to go out, I saw an old man walking towards me. He was wearing a neat suit and looked full of energy.
The old man had a medium-length gray beard, and was followed by seven or eight people, young and old. However, they all walked very politely, keeping two steps away from the old man in front, and never walked side by side with him.
The two groups of people met head-on outside the Lu family mansion.
Zhi Jinhua and others had subconsciously moved to the side of the road to make way for the old man.
"Grandpa! Are you back from the mountain?" Lu Linglong was the first to shout, smiling happily.
Lu Lin also followed suit and called him "Grandpa".
The old man who came towards Qin Che and others was Lu Jin.
This was the first time he met Lu Jin.
Lu Jin glanced at everyone and was obviously in a good mood. Things at Wuyuan Mountain were going smoothly.
"Linglong, do you want to go out?" Lu Jin smiled. When people reach a certain age, they will feel happy just by seeing their younger generations.
"Yes, Grandpa, let's go have a meal together." Lu Linglong was not at all restrained in front of Lu Jin, but it was different for others. Canglong even stood a little straighter, with his chest and head held high.
Lu Jin nodded, and felt more relieved when he saw Lu Lin going out with them.
His eyes continued to scan and finally fell on Qin Che. Seeing this, Qin Che also called him "Master Lu".
"Grandpa, my friend, Qin Che, I invited him to my house to play a few days ago." Lu Lin began to introduce.
Lu Jin looked at Qin Che and was actually lost in thought for a moment. This child's temperament made him feel familiar for some reason, and it reminded him of his former fellow disciples from the Trinity Sect.
This feeling is so similar.
Nodding, Lu Jin sighed and said, "Not bad, at such a young age, you have a long and peaceful aura. You have a good foundation."
After saying that, he turned to look at Lu Lin and said, "I heard from your father a few days ago that he brought back a friend and has been inseparable from him all day."
"Grandpa, let's go." Lu Linglong couldn't wait any longer.
Lu Jin nodded immediately. A middle-aged man appeared in the crowd and reminded Lu Linglong: "Slow down, be careful, and don't cause trouble."
Lu Linglong then realized that her father was there too: "I know, Dad. It's okay."
After the two groups of people separated, Lu Jin looked back at Qin Che and Lu Lin again.
He felt a little more comfortable. He had met Lu Lin's other friends, but the one today was the one that satisfied him the most.
Lu Jin, who is over a hundred years old, smiled at himself and lamented that at his age, he still judged people by their appearance.
Lu Linglong was chatting enthusiastically with his group of friends. Sometimes he regretted that Xiao Xiao didn't come, and sometimes he talked about Wang Ergou. Although Lu Lin knew all these people, he was not very familiar with them. After all, he was a few years older than them.
Fortunately, Qin Che was also not very familiar with the others, so the two of them could just chat.
"Do you think there is a way that can allow me to keep an eye on someone from a distance?" Qin Che thought of Hou Lian and touched his chin.
"Let's use the observation method." Lu Lin thought about it. If your observation method is strong enough, you should be able to achieve a distance of 100 meters or even 1,000 meters.
"It's not like that." Qin Che knew that Lu Lin was wrong.
"Oh. I see." Lu Lin chuckled: "I know what you want. Gu Shu, ancient magic tricks, and animal masters have more of these methods, but talismans can also do it."
"What talisman?" Qin Che was curious.
"I'll go back and look for it for you." Lu Lin trusted Qin Che's character, so she didn't ask him what he wanted to do and just helped.
Qin Che naturally kept this kindness in mind.
When the party was almost over, Qin Che went downstairs to the bathroom and settled the bill.
After all, I mentioned it to Lu Linglong a few days ago.
Everyone started chatting in the second half of the meal. Zang Long kept pouring wine for Qin Che. Everyone saw through his little thoughts at a glance. This guy was still curious about Qin Che's identity.
Qin Che didn't have anything to hide, but Canglong was really good at gathering intelligence.
The questions are not getting to the point.
With so many people there, Lu Linglong refused to go home after dinner and instead pulled everyone to sing together.
It took two hours before the show ended.
The day of the opening ceremony of Wuyuan Mountain is getting closer.
The progress of this group of people practicing reverse life is still a bit slow. Few have reached the entry level. Among them, only six have achieved the practice of practicing the two Qi together. And only four have touched the level of driving the Yuan Yang away from the five senses and traveling around the body.
This situation did not make Mr. Lu very happy.
I can only say that it is more hopeful than before.
Time advances little by little.
More and more people are coming from the circle.
That afternoon, Huang Jing temporarily put aside his practice and stood outside waiting.
About ten minutes later, a sturdy man with slightly reddish-brown skin appeared at Lu's house. He was wearing a white shirt and walked towards Huang Jing with a stern face.
"Brother! You're here." Huang Jing saw the person coming and walked forward excitedly. This was the person he was waiting for.
Huang Ninger is the president of the Truth Seeking Society, which is a result of the merger of Yiliu, Huangmen Sancai, Ziranmen and Yanwutang.
Huang Ning'er put her big hand on Huang Jing's shoulder: "Well, it's such a big thing, how can I not come."
An old man in a green coat came over with his hands behind his back: "Huang Jing, how is it, are you sure?
This old man looks like an old scholar, with gray hair and a pair of full-frame glasses. He doesn't look sharp and his eyes don't even look at people. When he is not speaking, his eyes subconsciously fall to the ground.
But Huang Jing did not dare to neglect such an unprepossessing old man.
Because if the four gates had not been merged, this person would undoubtedly be the head of the Natural Gate.
"Don't worry, I'm not sure if I can master Ni Sheng, but among this group of people, I'm definitely the one who's making the most progress."
Huang Jing said quickly.
"That's good, that's enough. Your brother and I are here to support you. Others may not be able to see it, but I know that this time, Lu Jin was framed.
He must use the resources of Wuyuan Mountain. As long as you maintain your first position and continue to have the possibility of entering the rebirth, you will definitely be the protagonist of the opening ceremony. We have already made arrangements in advance for some of the other forces coming this time, and they will speak for us when the time comes."
The old man in green had sharp eyes and lowered his voice.
"Of course, this is just the most basic. It would be best if we could master reverse rebirth. Not only can we completely occupy Wuyuan Mountain, but our relationship with the Lu family will also be elevated to a higher level immediately." Huang Ning'er still had a stern face and reminded in a deep voice.
"I never thought you would be the best among these people. It seems that we have been too harsh on you in the past. You are worthy of being Xiao Huang's brother."
At this point, Huang Jing's eyes showed a hint of ambiguity, but he recovered immediately.
After all, the Truth Seeking Society is a merger of four sects, and its size is no less than that of first-rate forces. Someone from the Lu family had already come to welcome Huang Ninger. The Lu family compound has a whole row of guest rooms, which is enough to accommodate these people from various factions.
For the opening of Wuyuan Mountain, the Lu family actually only invited a few related forces. Although it was a big event, it was more focused on the activities at the groundbreaking ceremony of the scenic area.
Please come, just to bear witness and let the news spread among the extraordinary people.
But given the Lu family's reputation and status in the circle of extraordinary people, many people use their reputation to make friends with the Lu family.
Even the Lu family, who had always been at odds with Lu Jin, sent people to watch the ceremony.
Most of the older generation knew the significance of Trinity to Lu Jin, and the mountain gate naturally carried a lot of affection, so everyone who could show their support came.
There are also memories of that turbulent era.
After waiting for several days, Qin Che finally decided to take the initiative and capture Hou Lian for questioning.
Hou Lian moved.
On the day before the opening ceremony, the sky was a little gloomy. With the late arrival of the Wang family, some people in the circle were already preparing to go to Wuyuan Mountain.
Hou Lian left the Lu family alone and deliberately took a mountain path.
Qin Che happened to be staring at him. Instead of panicking, he was happy and kept a distance and followed him all the way.
On an ancient banyan tree outside the Lu family, a young man with a long sword on his back was also staring at Hou Lian who was sneaking away.
