Under One Person: Did Zuo Ruotong and I switch bodies?

Half an hour later.

Upon their arrival, Zuo Ruotong and her party quickly met Zhang Huaiyi after a brief negotiation.

"grandfather!"

The moment Zhang Chulan saw his grandfather, he rushed over to him, and Zhang Huaiyi hugged him tightly, showing a kind smile.

"This is Zhang Xilin..."

Lu Lin, who was traveling with him, observed and tried to sense the presence of the old man, but she could not detect any aura at all. It was as if he was just an ordinary old man.

Either he is a truly ordinary person, or... he has reached a state of returning to simplicity!

The answer is self-evident.

Because of his fellow practitioner's "reverse rebirth," he had many exchanges with this newly appeared senior brother along the way and learned that the Dharma he was practicing was enlightened by this person.

"A reclusive master..."

He became even more curious.

At the same time, Zhang Huaiyi glanced at Lu Lin out of the corner of his eye and sensed the familiar life force within her, thus recognizing her identity:

"Is this a member of the Lu family?"

Zuo Ruotong immediately introduced: "This is Lu Lin, the great-grandson of Mr. Lu. He also cultivates 'Reverse Life' like me, so he is my junior brother."

"Junior Lu Lin greets Senior!"

Lu Lin immediately bowed.

Having given up on fighting to the death, Zhang Huaiyi was naturally prepared to face a series of subsequent problems, and this first hurdle...

That's Lu Jin.

"Thank you for the Lu family's help."

He immediately returned the greeting and then said, "Speaking of which, I do have a connection with the Lu family head. Since I have this opportunity, I wonder if I could pay a visit to the Lu family to express my gratitude in person?"

"Senior, there's no need to be so polite. The Lu family will naturally welcome you as a guest."

Seeing that this person wanted to go to the Lu family, Lu Lin naturally wouldn't refuse. His grandfather had also instructed him to invite someone to the Lu family if he had the chance.

Putting everything else aside, Lu Jin was very interested in this method that could assist in "reverse rebirth," and given the possibility of rebuilding the Sanyi Sect later, it was natural for him to have more exchanges...

"Then let's go, please."

"what?"

When Xu Xiang saw that Zhang Huaiyi had taken the initiative to ask to go to the Lu family, his eyes flickered with surprise. If this guy got close to the Lu family, it would be difficult for him to investigate from this angle.

  

"And what about before...?"

What he didn't know was that Zhang Huaiyi was now completely different from before; for the sake of his grandson, he had chosen a different path...

Some things will come to light sooner or later.

Then let's just face it.

When water comes, we'll dam it with earth; when soldiers come, we'll block them with generals!

soon.

The group then boarded the Lu family's car again.

Head straight to the airport.

Sensing Zhang Huaiyi's change, Zuo Ruotong transmitted her voice through Qi: "Master, it seems you have made up your mind."

"Hmph! If it weren't for you bringing people here and forcing me into this situation, why would I have gone to the Lu family..."

Zhang Huaiyi glared at him.

But then he smiled.

"But perhaps you are right."

He had kept it hidden for so many years, it was impossible not to feel resentful, but because he was always afraid, afraid of situations that he couldn't control, afraid that the people he cared about would get hurt, he just kept feeling resentful.

But now, when he was truly facing the problem, he relaxed, because he knew that no matter what the final result was, everything would eventually come to an end, and the boulder that had been hanging there would eventually fall... instead of remaining hanging there forever.

Of course, he made this decision because he was facing the Lu family. When the "Eight Extraordinary Skills" appeared, the martial arts world was in chaos, but the Lu family was a clear-headed group that did not compete for them.

He also knew a certain amount about Lu Jin; he was an upright man, known as "flawless in life," and his brother Zheng Zibu was also a close friend of his...

When everyone parted ways, Zheng Zibu said he would go find Lu Jin, which shows his trust in him. If it's this guy, perhaps he can look at what happened back then fairly...

"I hope so."

Around 5 p.m.

The group arrived at the Lu family's residence.

Lu Jin had already arranged a feast, intending to properly entertain this mysterious expert, but when he saw his face...

"It was you?"

I was immediately surprised.

Decades ago, one of them was a top disciple of the Sanyi Sect and the other was a candidate for Celestial Master. They had met quite a few times, and given Zhang Huaiyi's distinctive appearance, he would not mistake him.

"Mingchen..."

"Is this your other master?"

After regaining his senses, Lu Jin frowned, quickly glanced around, told everyone to hurry inside, and led Zuo Ruotong and Zhang Huaiyi into the study.

Do you know his identity?

"I know, the former high-ranking official of the Celestial Master's Mansion, the later Thirty-Six Thieves, and... now my master." Zuo Ruotong replied calmly, her expression serene.

Lu Jin immediately retorted angrily, "Then you should know his relationship with that 'Wugensheng'. My Sanyi Sect and Wugensheng are sworn enemies. You've taken his brother as your master and you expect me to help him?!"

He slammed his hand on the table.

Snapped!

Zuo Ruotong remained calm and spoke softly, "Uncle-Master, every grievance has its source and every debt its debtor. This is a feud between you and Wugensheng, not with me, your master, nor with the Sanyi Sect..."

"Before he passed away, Master Zuo said: There is no need for revenge, and there is no revenge to be taken."

"What happened later was indeed the evil of Quanxing, but the Sanyi Sect mobilized all its forces and had already killed the culprits who attacked Master Si Chong and Uncle Chengzhen. Logically speaking, this revenge has been taken..."

"The subsequent disputes were no longer about the grudges against Sany, but merely about venting anger."

Now he has figured everything out, and this is his view: as the leader of Quanxing Sect, it is understandable that "Wugensheng" would stand up for his disciples, and his own passing was unrelated to him...

It's just that his resolve to follow the Dao is not firm.

As for the feud between Si Chong and Cheng Zhen, as he said, every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor. Whoever committed the crime should be held accountable, and anyone who helped should also be taken into consideration. Simply killing Quan Xing upon seeing him is already going astray.

"Just because they belong to the Quanxing sect, they think they can do whatever they want. That was the thinking of the Sanyi disciples at the time. How are they any different from the Quanxing?"

"The grudges built on this are all personal grievances. Why use the banner of Trinity? Uncle-Master, you've felt guilty for so many years, haven't you ever thought about... where you went wrong?"

Upon hearing this question, Lu Jin was stunned. How could he not have thought of it, and how could he not know? Back then, all his fellow disciples had gone mad, and he was the only one who remained clear-headed. Naturally, he could understand...

The massacre of the entire sect by the Three Ones may seem justified, but in reality, it was nothing more than madness.

Seeing his expression, Zuo Ruotong was certain that he understood everything, and sighed inwardly, "Uncle-Master, this is not a feud between the Sanyi Sect and Wugensheng, nor is it a grudge between you and Wugensheng, but simply your inner demons..."

"You understand all the principles, but because of the decline of Trinity, you have nowhere to vent your anger, so you turn it into hatred and target Wugensheng."

"So many years have passed..."

"Can't you let go yet?"

"lay down?"

"Oh……"

Upon hearing those two words, Lu Jin lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "Logically speaking, what you said might be right... but have you experienced all of that?"

His revered master suddenly passed away, his uncles and brothers who had cared for him since childhood suddenly died tragically before his eyes, and his fellow disciples, with whom he spent every day, turned into evil ghosts one by one...

But I was powerless to do anything about it...

We could only watch helplessly...

"You don't understand anything at all!"
