Confucian and Taoist scholar

Chapter 97 Three Immortals

"Cough cough..."

The wolf-like monster had a splitting headache and could not help but grin and spit out a pool of black blood.

It was terrified and didn't expect that it would be injured so badly.

Not only did his internal organs and meridians suffer internal injuries, but even his soul felt a dull pain.

Behind, Lu Zheng was quickly catching up.

The wolf-dog's ears twitched slightly, and its steps staggered. It wanted to run faster, but it felt that Lu Zheng was getting closer and closer.

Even though the wolf-dog usually stayed in this mountain for a long time, it was so dizzy that it panicked and ran to the edge of a cliff.

Seeing that he had forced himself into a desperate situation, the wolf-like monster couldn't help but stop and look at Lu Zheng behind him.

Lu Zheng held a long sword in his hand, his figure as light as a swallow.

In just a few breaths, he had already reached the front of the monster.

The wolf-like demon's eyes flickered, and he coughed uneasily, "If you let me go, there are treasures in my cave that I can give you! I'll take you to find that great demon..."

"Oh, then tell me where it is?" Lu Zheng said expressionlessly.

"It's on..." The wolf-like monster thought quickly and said, "Jiguan Mountain!"

In a hurry, the lies made up by the wolf demon were full of loopholes.

Lu Zheng chuckled. "That's quite a coincidence. I just came down from Jiguan Mountain a few days ago. If you had said another place or made up some other story, I might have believed it."

The wolf's heart sank, his eyes became dim, and he suddenly pounced on Lu Zheng, making his final struggle.

"boom!"

Lu Zheng moved sideways, raised his hand and punched out, hitting the wolf-monster's waist directly.

Dogs all have iron heads and tofu waists, and their waists are their weak points.

Lu Zheng's punch was powerful and heavy, and he used all his strength.

The wolf-like monster was hit hard in an instant and fell to the ground, blood spurting out of its mouth. It was barely able to breathe and could no longer move.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Zheng quickly stepped forward and stabbed the monster's heart with a sword.

The monster's pupils shrank, and the severe pain made its whole body twitch.

Lu Zheng raised his leg to hold down the monster to prevent it from escaping, and twisted the sword in his hand hard to enlarge the wound.

The smelly blood gushed out like a fountain, soaking the ground beneath the monster's body.

Lu Zheng stared at the wolf-dog coldly until its eyes dimmed and it died.

[You killed two second-level wolf beasts, eliminating harm for the people, and your literary spirit +30!]

Afterwards, Lu Zheng slowly put away his sword, fumbled around on the wolf-monster's body for a while, and found two Yang-Gathering Beads.

The two spirit beads were filled with Yang energy, and it was known that this pair of wolves had done a lot of harm to others.

Lu Zheng directly killed the two beasts, which was already a bargain for them.

After putting away the Juyang Pearl, Lu Zheng quickly walked down the mountain.

When we returned to the previous mountain path, we saw the wolf demon dead on the road, leaving a trail of bright red blood for some distance.

Apparently, the previous sword strike did not kill the wolf demon instantly. It retained some strength and walked a few steps before finally dying.

Those ordinary wild wolves had already fled in fear, and no one knew where they had hidden.

At this time, it was dark.

Lu Zheng searched the wolf demon again but did not find the Yang Juzhu.

He dragged the wolf demon's body to the side of the road so that it would not block the way.

If someone passes by here and has the ability, he can peel off the wolf skin and exchange it for money.

After doing all this, Lu Zheng walked along the mountain path to the foot of a mountain, stopped by a stream to clean up the dirt, prepare to cook dinner, and spend the night before continuing on his journey.

As for the treasure in the cave mentioned by the wolf monster, the cave where this cunning wolf monster lives must be very hidden and difficult to find.

There wasn't a guarantee of treasure. The wolf demon even carried spiritual objects like the Gathering Yang Pearl with him, so the treasures in the cave were likely just ordinary belongings. Lu Zheng didn't have the energy to look for them. After carefully washing off the dirt on his body, Lu Zheng gathered some firewood and started to make a fire to cook.

Soon, meat porridge was cooked in the small iron pot.

Lu Zheng sat next to him, took out a map and speculated for a while, trying to figure out where the monsters that came to trade might go recently.

After some thought, Lu Zheng made a few marks on the map and prepared to walk south to try his luck.

If I’m lucky, maybe I can wait for it... Lu Zheng’s mind was turning.

With his current strength, he would not be afraid even if he encountered a demon in the third realm, and he might even have a chance to capture it alive.

Lu Zheng was not worried about whether he would encounter a powerful monster in the fourth realm.

He didn't think that such a person would personally run around just to trade some Yang Juzhu.

"But it's better to be careful."

Lu Zheng muttered to himself, not taking it lightly.

At this time, a pot of fragrant meat porridge has been cooked.

Lu Zheng slowly drank the hot meat porridge and no longer thought about anything else.

After a busy day, you always need to relax yourself, replenish your energy and enjoy a moment of peace.

The highest is to establish virtue, the next is to establish merit, and the next is to establish words. Even if they are not abandoned for a long time, this is called immortality.

The villagers of Dali Village are grateful for your kindness and have erected a monument to your merits. Your words and deeds have taught you a lesson. Your literary spirit +20!

Lu Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and his heart was shocked.

The three immortalities. Throughout history, countless people have desired to achieve immortality and leave their names in history.

He had only done a small thing, and the villagers erected a monument to his merits. Could this actually trigger his immortality and increase his literary prestige?

Lu Zheng was filled with emotion and murmured to himself, "Don't let a kindness go unrewarded."

He had already refused, but he didn't expect that the villagers of Dali Village would do what they said and erected a monument to his merit so quickly.

While Lu Zheng was delighted, he also felt that he was somewhat unworthy of the position.

However, it would be a good thing if I could become a role model for the children in Dali Village.

Thinking of this, Lu Zheng couldn't help feeling happy, his appetite was whetted, and he ate up the whole can of meat porridge.

After washing the dishes, Lu Zheng first performed a few sets of Fu Hu Quan.

When the qi and blood are surging vigorously, he draws his sword and practices the Haoran sword technique.

Under the moonlight, Lu Zheng's figure was agile and graceful, the sword gleamed faintly, his aura was like a rainbow, and he looked like a swordsman.

Only after he was mentally exhausted did Lu Zheng slowly put away his sword, sit on a piece of blue stone to rest and recuperate.

Lu Zheng: Confucian scholar

[Realm: Second Level of Confucianism and Taoism (Scholar)]

[Literary Aura: 935/1000]

[Taoism: Great Righteousness, Great Sword Technique (Sword Qi: 15%), Subduing Tiger Fist (Basic: 35%)]

[Equipment: Several...]

Lu Zheng looked at his own situation and found that he was only 65 points away from being promoted to the third level of Confucianism and Taoism and becoming a successful candidate in heaven and earth.

When I think back to when I came into this world and became a scholar of heaven and earth, it seems as if it happened just yesterday and is still vivid in my mind.

"Well, it didn't take long anyway..." Lu Zheng couldn't help but smile.

Although he was only a stone's throw away from becoming a juren, he was not in a hurry and wanted to acquire literary talent to improve his realm.

It's late at night and it's hard to find any ghosts nearby, so just let nature take its course.

"We're heading south tomorrow. There will be plenty of demons and monsters along the way. Let's get some sleep and get enough rest first."

Lu Zheng spoke slowly, then leaned against the stone, slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.
