There's something wrong with this version of the technique!

Chapter 154, You are right, what are you afraid of?
It is impossible to say that you are not afraid of retaliation.

After all, the other party is a bloodline family that has lasted for thousands of years. Its foundation and strength are by no means comparable to those ordinary people like them who have no background and lose at the starting line.

What's more, according to Doctor Zhang, people from this kind of bloodline family often think of themselves as superior to others, and are considered aristocrats in the circle of extraordinary people. They look at the extraordinary people of the new era almost the same way they look at ordinary people.

Maybe with the Demon Suppression Division around, they dare not do anything openly.

But as time went by, he started to do some small tricks secretly, such as stabbing voodoo dolls, which were hard to guard against. Lu Yue felt that he would have to keep one eye open when he slept in the future.

This is actually not a big deal. He was worried that the Gongshu lineage would directly send experts to overpower them with force, or even ask their ancestor Lu Ban to take revenge, without giving them any chance to develop and just killing them in secret.

In short...any unexpected events must be considered carefully.

When Lu Yue explained the whole story, Doctor Zhang answered irrelevantly, "The Gongshu lineage has a long history of more than 2,000 years. The ancestor was an extraordinary person who broke through the Ninth Heaven. He had some connections with the ancient Demon Suppression Division and belonged to the righteous path."

"As the times changed, the Gongshu lineage gradually branched out into many branches."

“That’s why there’s a distinction between the main vein and the branch vein.”

"The rise and fall of dynasties last only three hundred years. The same is true for this kind of bloodline family. The Gongshu main lineage has also experienced many generations in history, but it still continues because they have their own set of ancestral precepts that have been passed down for a long time."

"In order to prevent the bloodline from being cut off, someone with the ability to carry out the Gongshu main meridian should take over."

"Whether it's a branch or a main vein, as long as you have the ability, you will have the opportunity to become the next main vein, enjoy all the resources of the main vein, and have the authority to mobilize other branch veins before the next main vein rotates."

"So every branch is working hard to become the main branch. If it doesn't become the main branch, it will occupy resources and grow stronger. After generations, if one day no extraordinary person awakens in the branch, this branch will be completely declined until someone in the next generation awakens and restarts it."

"But if you are slow, you will be slow at every step. This kind of branch can only become a vassal of other branches in the future, and it will be difficult for them to have a future of development."

"This ancestral precept ensures competition within Gongshu. In addition, there are a series of other ancestral precepts. The Gongshu lineage can have healthy competition within itself, but if it encounters provocation from external forces, no matter who they are, they must unite to face the outside world."

After hearing this, Lu Yue suddenly understood.

This is actually very easy to understand. We are all from the same clan and bloodline, so competition on a daily basis doesn't matter. After all, it's a family matter. But if an outsider gets involved, all the branches and main veins will unite.

Cohesive and competitive...

Such a bloodline family may decline, but it is difficult to perish.

Lu Yue began to understand the real purpose of the Gongshu branch.

The other party created the body possession incident just to develop and grow their lineage and accumulate strength to become the next leader.

After all, the old carpenter's lineage is already in an endangered state, with only three extraordinary people. If no strong medicine is taken, this branch will naturally die out in a few decades.

Because there is no way out, I choose to do something that will damage my moral character.

The competition among these bloodline families is really cruel.

Of course, there may be some other means involved, but with the demise of this branch, no matter how big the plans were during his lifetime, they will eventually be in vain like a wisp of smoke.

"If you were given a chance to start over again, what would you do?"

Lu Yue thought for a moment and said seriously: "The descendant of Gongshu wants to kill me, I have no regrets in killing him. The coffin shop owner is making a body-stealing coffin, if I catch him, I will kill him without hesitation. As for the carpenter who is bent on revenge, such a person cannot be spared."

“Perhaps you could have handed the person over to the Demon Suppression Division at that time.” Doctor Zhang suggested.

Lu Yue smiled and said, "If you can always stay rational and consider everything, then you are a saint. I am not a saint, but just an ordinary person with flesh and blood. When I encounter bad things, I will curse, and when I am angry, I will take action."

Doctor Zhang was silent for a moment, then said, "Master Fang is similar to you, but sometimes the consequences are very serious."

"If it was Master Fang, what would he do?" Lu Yue asked curiously.

"He has now headed towards the Gongshu main vein."

Lu Yue raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He didn't expect that Taoist Fang, who seemed to have an immortal demeanor, had such a hot temper. There was a lot more to this story.

Now that we have come to this point, it seems there is no room for easing the situation.

Lu Yue began to ponder his situation. Should he immediately take Zhang Yaling to live in another city and come back after his strength improved?
There is no shame in running away. It is normal to run away when you can't win.

"What are you thinking about?" Doctor Zhang suddenly asked.

"I was thinking, I am a consultant after all, I wonder if I am eligible to change my ID card and go to another city to change my appearance and hide for a while." Lu Yue answered truthfully.

"Why are you hiding?" Doctor Zhang drank a sip of herbal tea with a calm face.

"Wouldn't this kind of bloodline family unite against a common enemy when facing external forces? I killed their people and damaged their reputation. I was thinking of hiding away and growing for a while." Lu Yue said.

"The Gongshu branch planned to seize the body and strayed from the right path. What you did is not to damage their reputation, but to save the reputation of the bloodline family that has continued for thousands of years."

Doctor Zhang poured a cup of herbal tea for Lu Yue, made a gesture of drinking the tea and said slowly: "You are right, why are you hiding and not them?"

Hearing this, Lu Yue took a breath.

He had never thought about this question, but when he thought about it carefully, it did make sense.

"By the way, you just said there were two things, what was the other one?"

"I have a thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood, but I don't know who to ask for help. Doctor Zhang, do you have anyone to recommend?" Lu Yue took out the rough piece of thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood.

Doctor Zhang looked at it and said, "It is indeed a good material. If you want to make it into a wooden handle, you need to find a good craftsman. When it comes to woodworking, the Gongshu lineage is the best. You can leave it with me temporarily and come back to get it in three days."

Lu Yue was a little dazed as he looked at Dr. Zhang, who had a calm expression.

Could this be what I thought, asking the Gongshu lineage to make it?
"Thank you, Doctor Zhang. How much is the price?" "You saved the reputation of Gongshu Zhumai. They should thank you. I won't charge you."

Lu Yue: “????”

Kill the people of Gongshu's lineage and ask them to help make the wooden handle for free?
Doctor Zhang, you are so amazing!

.........

Tengcheng.

This is a city famous for its skilled craftsmen.

Away from the bustling city, deep in the wilderness on the edge of the city, stands a series of mountain ranges, like the Great Wall, with their peaks piercing the sky, like an eternal giant, standing unshakable.

If outsiders come here, they will be seriously warned by the locals that this is an uninhabited area and even the most advanced electronic equipment will fail once it arrives here.

According to local people, there are gods and spirits in that mountain range. Some even claim to have seen them with their own eyes, but when asked in detail, they could not explain it.

There have been explorers who went deep into the mountains, but none of them came back alive. For this reason, local officials have issued a clear warning prohibiting outsiders from exploring the mountains.

At this time, the morning light was just beginning to shine, the peak was shining with golden light, the surrounding rock walls were steep, the exposed stone bones were layered, gray and black were intertwined, it was awe-inspiring.

On this day, a young man carrying a skeleton backpack quietly came to the county town near the mountains. If someone looked carefully, it would be easy to find that the young man had mutilated fingers.

After checking into a hotel, the young man took out a number of scrolls from his backpack.

The strange thing was that the scrolls in front of him were moving without wind, making ghostly howling sounds. Seeing this, the young man gently comforted them, "I know you are hungry and miss the food cooked by the cook. It's a pity that you can't eat it anymore."

"The cook was killed in the ruins by a man named Lu Yue."

The scroll shook more violently, and a faint whimpering sound could be heard.

"I know that whoever doesn't let you eat is the enemy."

"I thought that the old fellow from Gongshu branch was useful, but I didn't expect that he was also killed. However, this is exactly what I want." As he said this, the young man opened one of the paintings.

Soon, the hotel owner who was dozing off downstairs was awakened by the footsteps. He saw the young man who had just checked in passing by him with a cold and lifeless look on his face, holding a scroll in his hand.

For some reason, the boss felt a sense of strangeness in his heart.

Not long after, the indifferent young man arrived at this restricted mountain range.

Walking along the mountain road until there was no way to go, the indifferent young man opened a scroll in his hand, and a figure exactly like the indifferent young man walked out of the painting.

At this time, a foggy path appeared in front.

The young man in the painting continued to go deeper along the path and finally stopped in front of a stone wall.

"It is said that the Gongshu lineage is extremely skilled in craftsmanship. A master once stole a piece of spiritual land from the ruins, which was fixed by generations of descendants, forming a small blessed land comparable to the ruins. Seeing it today, it is indeed worthy of its reputation."

"I came here today to tell you something."

"The descendant of your Gongshu branch was killed outside the ruins."

"The murderer still killed him in front of hundreds of people."

"The heir of Gongshu died miserably, and no remains were found."

"The local demon suppression officer was standing right in front of us at the time and didn't stop us."

"There is a conspiracy here. They are working together to target your Gongshu clan."

There was dead silence ahead, as if the young man in the painting was talking to himself.

At this time, the young man's mouth curled slightly, revealing a strange smile and continued: "That young man also said that there is no need to enter the ruins to kill the descendant of Gongshu."

"Back then, the Gongshu family was world-famous. It was once a big family that could compete with the Demon Suppression Division headquarters. But now it has really declined."

The young man in the painting shook his head and sighed, "The reputation of your Gongshu clan for thousands of years has now been rubbed on the ground by a young man. I think if your ancestor Lu Ban were still alive, he would crawl out of his grave in shame."

Suddenly, the mountains shook and the wind howled.

From a distance, an iron saw flew like lightning and hit the young man in the painting.

With a tearing sound, the young man in the painting was split into two.

"Such despicable means come from all walks of life. You are a ghost painter among the nine walks of life. You insult my Gongshu lineage. I will cut off your inheritance as a ghost painter!" An angry voice sounded in the strong wind, and every word was filled with breathtaking pressure.

At this time, in the distance, the previously indifferent young man's face changed, and he was about to leave, but the jigsaw in the sky appeared again, and the indifferent young man shouted: "Wait! Not only was the heir of that branch killed, but his father was also killed. That man was called Lu Yue..."

Before he could finish his words, there was a sharp tearing sound and a jigsaw fell in the distance.

The indifferent young man was torn into pieces in an instant. This was actually the person in the painting.

"You clown, if you dare to step into Tengcheng again, I will kill you!" A majestic voice came from the depths of the mountains, shaking the entire mountain range.

The voice echoed in the mountains and gradually became blurred. At this moment, the voice sounded again, as if after thinking, it said calmly: "Send someone to investigate the situation of that branch."

At the same time, in the county hotel.

The young man with the missing finger who had never left suddenly changed his expression, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and fear and anxiety flashed in his eyes. He no longer cared about anything, hurriedly put away the scrolls, jumped off the building, stopped a car, and decisively fled Tengcheng.
