Under One Person: Dressed as Lü Liang, with vests all over

Chapter 106 Zhuge Qing: Great...Master!
into the night.

On the west side of Jishidi Hall, in the courtyard behind the guest rooms.

Several ancient Eucommia trees absorbed the moonlight, and their lush branches cast a thick shadow on the ground.

In that corner tightly covered by the shadows of trees, the originally flat ground suddenly began to fluctuate slightly as if being gently touched by an invisible hand.

Immediately afterwards, two figures wrapped in Qi flow slowly emerged from the mud, like swimmers emerging from the water.

As the Qi flow around them gradually dissipated, the faces of the two people became clear under the moonlight.

One of them was calmly adjusting his clothes, while the other was hunching his neck and looking around nervously.

It was Lu Liang and Zhang Kun.

At this time, Lu Liang's appearance had changed. He no longer looked like Liu Jingtian, but had become an ordinary-looking young man.

The clothes he was wearing were also changed into the attire of an ordinary disciple of Jishidiang.

He took this set of clothes from a disciple in the medicine garden duty room.

In addition to this set of clothes, he also used the "Blue Hand" to check the disciple's memory.

At this time, Lu Liang already had a clear understanding of the architectural layout of Jishidiang.

Seeing that the "transportation" mission had been completed, Zhang Kun skillfully took out a small bottle from his arms and poured the sleeping insect inside into his mouth.

Soon, his body swayed and he was about to fall asleep on the ground.

Just as he was about to have a close collision with the ground, the swallowing sac in Lu Liang's hand flashed slightly and directly sucked Zhang Kun into it.

Then, Lu Liang put away the devouring sac and walked towards the guest room with a calm expression.

……

As Lu Liang walked, he observed the surrounding environment and recalled the information he had collected during the day.

At this time, the members of the Nadutong Action Team were still scattered in the Jishiditang's study, warehouse, medicine hall, martial arts field and other important places for patrol and guard, and were not staying in the guest rooms.

Therefore, there are only four guest rooms with lights on at this time.

Lu Liang's gaze first turned to the separate room on the right.

At the door of the house, there were two tall "people" standing. They were dressed warmly, wearing hoods and masks, making it impossible to see their specific appearance.

Seeing this iconic outfit, Lu Liang instantly determined the identity of the person living in the house - his good "helper" Liu Yanyan.

Although he planned to meet Liu Yanyan, it was definitely not now.

Lu Liang quickly withdrew his gaze and moved towards the rooms on the left.

The three lighted rooms were occupied by three guests who came to Jishidiang to watch the game, and they were the only three guests.

The room on the far left should be occupied by Zhuge Qing, who arrived first.

The other two were young elites from the Xinglin lineage. It was said that they had gotten this opportunity only after the leaders and hall masters of their respective sects spoke to Liu Jingtian.

Strictly speaking, the person living in the middle room is an acquaintance of Lu Liang.

It was Chen Yan from Baicaotang.

Lu Liang had a good impression of him because he suspected that the person with the ID "Shennong Tastes Hundreds of Herbs" who had defended himself many times on the forum was Chen Yan.

He was knocked unconscious by himself, but he still defended himself. What a good person!
As for the last one, he was a young elite from another major medical school called "Santong Huozhen", and his name seemed to be Sun Simao.

Lu Liang was not familiar with this person, but he had heard of this sect.

Sun Renfang, one of the thirty-six thieves, came from the Santong Fire Needle School.

It is said that the "three channels" of the three-way fire needle refer to "micro-channel", "warm channel" and "strong channel".

The "Micro-opening Method" is mainly based on acupuncture.

The "Wen Tong Method" is mainly based on fire needle and moxibustion therapy.

The "Qiangtong method" mainly uses three-edged needle pricking and bloodletting.

Compared with Jishidiang and Baicaotang, the people of Santong Huozhen are better at fighting, and "acupuncture from a distance" is one of their secret techniques.

……

While thinking, Lu Liang walked forward and soon arrived at the innermost room on the left.

Just as he was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, a voice suddenly came from inside the room.

"The door is not closed, you can come in directly."

Hearing Zhuge Qing's preemptive voice, Lu Liang raised his eyebrows and pushed the door open and walked in.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhuge Qing squinting at the door.

At this time, Zhuge Qing was dressed neatly and sitting cross-legged on the bed. His eyes, which were usually narrowed to the point of being unable to see any slits, were now slightly opened, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.

After Lu Liang entered the room and closed the door.

Zhuge Qing took the initiative to speak to Lu Liang and said, "Are you surprised? Why do I know there is someone at the door?"

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he pointed to the door, asking himself:

"Well... I set up a formation at the door in advance. If anyone approaches, it will be detected immediately."

As he spoke, Zhuge Qing got up from the bed and walked to the table gracefully.

He sat down, picked up the kettle and poured two cups of tea, and pushed one of them to the opposite side of himself.

"Please sit down!"

He smiled and stretched out his hand to Lu Liang, his eyes fixed on Lu Liang's expression, and said slowly:
"I've finally got you, 'Master Liu'!"

……

Hearing this, Lu Liang did not deny it. A hint of interest flashed in his eyes, and he asked calmly:

"Are you waiting for me?"

Seeing that Lu Liang was not surprised at all, Zhuge Qing felt inexplicably disappointed.

Why does it feel like he has been acting for a long time but is being treated as a joke?

However, he quickly adjusted his attitude, looked at Lu Liang and continued:

"Yes, it took me a lot of effort to figure out this information about you, 'Tang Master Liu'."

When he heard the word "divination", Lu Liang's face showed a hint of realization.

As expected, he is Zhuge Fox.

At that time, in the sound transmission instrument, he heard Zhuge Qing say to Liu Jingtian, "You can only calculate three hexagrams at most every day."

He almost believed it.

I didn’t expect that Zhuge Qing actually had another trick up his sleeve.

Seeing that Lu Liang's expression had rarely changed, Zhuge Qing felt inexplicably relieved. He narrowed his eyes slightly and took the initiative to explain:
"Even if I calculate your location again, I might not be able to catch you. Why bother wasting my energy?"

"But after I came back, I still couldn't let it go, so I risked my life to get another divination."

"This time, the question I'm asking is - if I want to see you, when and where is the most promising time and place?"

"And the answer I got was—"

Zhuge Qing looked straight at Lu Liang, a look of confidence on his face, and spoke word by word.

"Tonight, here."

……

After hearing Zhuge Qing's explanation, Lu Liang became more determined to get Zhuge Qing to join the mutual aid association.

This ability to tell fortunes is really too useful.

However, Zhuge Qing looked like he had everything under control at this moment.

Hmm... it's a little annoying, and makes people want to tease it for some unknown reason.

So, Lu Liang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a playful smile.

He picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and then looked up at Zhuge Qing:

"You're so concerned about my whereabouts, I'm afraid it's not to help Jishitang, right?"

Zhuge Qing smiled without saying a word, looking unfathomable. But the next moment, his composure shattered like a bubble.

Because Lu Liang asked with a smile: "You came to Jishitang to regain the great opportunity you missed?"

"you……"

Zhuge Qing forced himself to swallow back the words "How do you know?"

But the calm and elegant expression on his face could no longer be maintained, and his hands on the table were subconsciously clenched, with veins surfacing on the back of his hands.

Zhuge Qing's eyes flickered as he looked at Lu Liang with surprise and vigilance.

He has always been calm and composed, and always maintains the demeanor and pride that a descendant of Wu Hou should have.

But for some reason, ever since he participated in the Luotian Grand Ceremony, he seemed to have fallen into a vicious circle and encountered setbacks again and again.

First, he was completely suppressed by Wang Ye, who was also a sorcerer, which almost destroyed his belief in the Eight Trigrams.

Afterwards, he spent more than a week to finally adjust his mindset and regain some of his original confidence.

As a result, he lost his composure several times after only one day at Jishidiang.

And now, the person in front of him made him feel that he couldn't see through or guess what was going on, and he couldn't help but feel awe.

……

Lu Liang looked at the surprise on Zhuge Qing's face and nodded with satisfaction.

How did he know this?

Of course it's a guess.

That day in the Cantonese restaurant, he happened to overhear the conversation between Zhuge Qing and Wang Ye. He heard Zhuge Qing mention his intuition and Wang Ye's suggestion to go into the inner scene to ask.

Now it seems that not only did they really go to the inner scene to ask, but the results they got also prompted Zhuge Qing to come to Jishiditang.

Lu Liang quickly sorted out the cause and effect of the matter.

He held his chin with his left hand and asked Zhuge Qing in a leisurely manner:

"Zhuge Qing, do you want to know what opportunity you missed?"

Zhuge Qing pursed his lips tightly, trying hard to restrain the urge to say "yes".

This question was too tempting for him.

He came here for the answer, but now that the answer was right in front of him, he felt a sense of homesickness.

Because he had no idea what this "Master Liu" in front of him wanted to do.

After dozens of seconds of silence.

Zhuge Qing's throat rolled over, and he finally couldn't help but ask tentatively:
"Is it the Eight Great Techniques?"

"No."

Lu Liang shook his head and answered with a firm tone.

He looked directly at Zhuge Qing, "Even if I gave you the Eight Wonders, you wouldn't learn them."

"After all, you still have the pride of being a descendant of Wu Hou in your heart, and you don't want to become a target of public criticism like Zhang Chulan and Wang Ye."

After hearing what Lu Liang said, Zhuge Qing's eyes widened again, filled with surprise.

Why can the other party guess his thoughts so accurately?

He finally couldn't maintain his restraint anymore, and asked in a tense and anxious voice, "How do you know this?"

"Because I can also tell fortunes."

Lu Liang responded casually, and at the same time, he casually raised his right hand and made random hand gestures.

For Zhuge Qing, who was proficient in divination, he could tell at a glance that Lu Liang's gestures had nothing to do with divination and were simply done casually.

However, he still couldn't help but feel sorry for Lu Liang in his heart:

Maybe the other party really could tell fortunes? It was just that the hand gestures he used were new to him... the style of the Great Dao, the Simple One?

Otherwise, all this cannot be explained at all!
Zhuge Qing's eyes suddenly opened, and the energy in his eyes surged, shining astonishingly.

"Qi Men Manifestation Mind Technique!"

After practicing his mental method, he couldn't wait to look at the ground, wanting to see clearly how Lu Liang cast the hexagram.

But on the floor of the guest room, there was nothing except his Qimen Bureau.

Zhuge Qing's surprise suddenly became even greater.

Is there actually a way to tell fortunes without resorting to Qimen Bureau, Bagua Formation or other numerology techniques?

How deep is this cultivation level? !
……

Just as Zhuge Qing was frantically imagining things and looking at Lu Liang with increasing awe...

Lu Liang picked up the teacup and took a sip, then continued calmly:
"Not only can I tell you what big opportunity you missed, but I can also help you regain it."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhuge Qing clenched his hands on the table even tighter, and even the muscles all over his body tensed up involuntarily.

Lu Liang glanced at Zhuge Qing and waited quietly for Zhuge Qing's statement.

He didn't lie to Zhuge Qing when he said that just now.

The great opportunity that Zhuge Qing missed was the Zhuge family's unique skill "Samadhi True Fire".

Zhuge Qing, who was supposed to learn this unique skill in Biyou Village, had no chance to go to Biyou Village before the village was emptied by Lu Liang.

This opportunity was naturally lost by the butterfly effect.

However, Lu Liang can create this opportunity again.

Zhuge Qing has always known the Qi flow path of Samadhi True Fire, and the main reason why he couldn't master Samadhi True Fire before was that he had too strong awe for this technique.

His grandfather, his father... no one in the entire Zhuge family has been able to successfully master this skill for a long time.

Zhuge Qing, who had been praised as the genius of the Zhuge family since childhood and was full of confidence in this, also failed in his first official attempt.

This caused him to develop a mental block and he didn't dare to try again.

In other words, as long as Zhuge Qing sincerely feels that this skill, which is known as "the most difficult skill of the Zhuge family", is nothing special, he will naturally be able to learn it successfully.

To shock Zhuge Qing like this, all that was needed were two of the Eight Wonders—

Fenghou’s Qimen, a magical machine that has been refined hundreds of times.

Wang Ye's Fenghou Qimen has greatly shocked Zhuge Qing and shaken his confidence in Wuhou Qimen.

Next, we just need to let him see the magic of the hundred refinements, and then he will doubt the status of the Zhuge family's magic technique.

……

After pondering for a while, Zhuge Qing looked up at Lu Liang.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should have conditions."

He asked bluntly, “What do I need to do?”

“Join a mutual aid group.”

Lu Liang also answered directly.

"I came here today to invite you, Zhuge Qing, to join our mutual aid association."

"After you join, I will tell you everything you want to know."

"Mutual Aid Society? What is that?"

“An organization of friendship, solidarity and mutual assistance.”

Zhuge pondered for a moment and continued, "What do I need to do after joining?"

"When I need it, help me with something, like fortune-telling or something..."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Qing did not answer immediately, but instead asked:
"You told me all this, aren't you afraid that I'll tell Hall Master Liu and the people in the company?"

"If this happens, both you and that 'mutual aid association' will be in danger."
