From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

After saying goodbye to Lin Jiu, Ren Jiating, Ren Tingting and the others, Jiang Liu and his group embarked on their return journey again, only this time with two more people in the group.

The monkey races and kicks the ground.

Having survived on Ping Mountain, the two withdrew from the Unloading Ridge Warriors and, following Jiang Liu's instructions, came to Renjia Town to wait. Now, they naturally had to go east with Jiang Liu and his group.

The two were surprised to see Hong Guniang in the group, but after learning from Li Muxuan that Jiang Liu had poached her from Chen Yulou, they both secretly gave her a thumbs up.

Cattle!

With the addition of two more lively characters—whose appearances were ruined but who remained optimistic—the return journey became even more bustling.

And so, the group continued eastward, helping the needy and the weak along the way. When they encountered bandits and thieves, they mostly eliminated them, and for the few they managed to save, they gave them some money and told them to make a living honestly, as if giving them a chance.

Those with rich experience can tell whether someone has killed someone or not just by looking at their personality and eyes.

In particular, Jiang Liu controls human magnetism and can sense the human magnetism of others. He has also learned Chen Yulou's four methods of "observation, listening, questioning and palpation". In addition, he has seen all kinds of people along the way and gained a lot of experience. He will never give those who deserve to die a chance to live.

As for those who were spared, that remains to be seen, depending on their future choices...

···

"Sanyi Sect, I, Li Muxuan, have finally returned!"

Looking at the town in front of him and the not-so-majestic mountain behind it, Li Muxuan shouted loudly.

Since he entered the Sanyi Sect, this has been his second home. Now that the prodigal son has returned home, how could he not be excited?

Looking at the familiar town and mountain gate, Lu Jin also showed a happy expression. It could not compare to the magnificent scenery of the Lao Xiong Ling Ping Shan area, but it was still a green mountain and clear water that had been cultivated by generations of disciples of the San Yi Sect and the tea farmers in the town below!

Compared to the naturally formed atmosphere, this freshness is all the more precious and rare!

After his trip, Jiang Liu's respect for the predecessors of the San Yi Sect and the Left Sect Master was even greater than before!

Perhaps in the path of cultivation, the Sanyi Sect has a seemingly small but actually quite long gap compared to the true Xuanmen, such as Quanzhen and Zhengyi. However, in the path of being a person, the disciples of the Sanyi Sect are actually closer to ordinary people.

"Alright, you can wail later," Jiang Liu interrupted Li Muxuan.

"Hmph! What wailing? I'm just expressing my feelings!"

Li Muxuan's face was extremely gloomy.

If we weren't outmatched—

He absolutely wanted to kick Jiang Liu's butt hard with his cloth shoes!

Back in town, Jiang Liu, Hong Guniang, Dili Chuai, and Sai Huohou parted ways with Lu Jin and Li Muxuan. The former went to the Ghost Hand Wang Cai Opera Troupe, while the latter carried the alchemy furnace and the six-winged centipede's carapace up the mountain gate.

"Old man, I'm back!"

Pushing open the wooden gate to the courtyard, Jiang Liu saw Wang Yaozu teaching eight apprentices how to throw knives and shouted.

"So what if you're coming back? Why are you shouting so loudly?"

Wang Yaozu picked at his ear. He was delighted to see Jiang Liu return, but his words were full of disdain. However, after glancing at Hong Guniang, Dili Chui, and Sai Huo Hou, he blinked and asked in confusion, "Who are these three—you went out for a while and found me a daughter-in-law and two servants?"

Upon hearing this, Miss Hong blushed but did not refute it.

Jiang Liu, however, had a dark face and scolded, "Don't talk nonsense! This is the ancient magic master I invited back! Red Girl! From the Moon Gate!"

"The Moon Gate? I vaguely remember it."

Wang Yaozu looked down on even the methods of the Jiyun Society, let alone the Moon Gate, which had already disappeared from the world of supernatural beings.

However, since they were people brought back by Jiang Liu, and they seemed to have some goodwill towards Jiang Liu, Wang Yaozu toned down his words. He instructed his eight apprentices to cook and prepare meals, and then said with a smile to Hong Guniang and the two lively monkeys, "Whether I can make you a lot of money is hard to say, but once you join my opera troupe, you'll be family from now on. We'll share the good times and the bad."

"Um... Grandpa, what do you mean by 'not sharing the burden'?" Sai Huohou suspected Wang Yaozu of making a slip of the tongue.

But Wang Yaozu explained, "It means that if you encounter a problem that you can't solve, you don't have to stay; you can run away."

"This is too much—"

Before he could finish saying what he was saying about kicking the ground, Wang Yaozu interrupted with a grin, "Because this old man will run first! Hehe!"

Saihuohou: "..."

Stomping on the ground: "..."

Compared to the two men's astonishment, Hong Guniang believed that she and Wang Yaozu might have a lot in common later on.

"Don't embarrass yourself, old man!"

Jiang Liu sighed and said to Hong Guniang, "Sister Hong, don't mind him. Ever since my old man left Quanxing, he's really become like a mischievous old man. He speaks without thinking and is just a 'childish old man'."

"Does a son talk about his father like that?"

Upon hearing Jiang Liu's words, Wang Yaozu was so angry that his beard stood on end.

"Yes, isn't that the one standing in front of you?"

Jiang Liu put his hands on his hips and said in a serious tone.

"You little rascal—"

Wang Yaozu was speechless. Turning his head, he caught sight of the Angry-Eyed Chicken beside Jiang Liu. He exclaimed, "Wow! What a big chicken! Did you buy it to nourish me?"

"Giggle!"

The angry-eyed rooster could understand human speech. It spread its wings and soared into the air, crowing loudly. Taking advantage of Wang Yaozu's momentary daze, it tore his sleeve with one claw, but did not harm his skin in the slightest.

"Holy crap! A spirit that has obtained Qi?" Wang Yaozu exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the torn sleeve.

During his time in Quanxing, he had an "old friend" who also possessed beast-taming skills and had tamed multiple weasels, and was aware of the existence of elves.

None of the weasels among those cronies had acquired Qi, but the chicken that Jiang Liu brought back was a genuine spirit!

"It seems you've been through quite a bit on this trip delivering my message."

Wang Yaozu became interested.

"Shouldn't we ask about that feng shui master first?"

Jiang Liu asked with a smile.

"Since that guy didn't come back with you, he must be dead. You should offer incense for me, right?" Wang Yaozu sighed, then didn't seem to care at all.

“He is indeed dead, and I killed him.” Jiang Liu nodded.

"Uh...you've surpassed your teacher!"

Wang Yaozu was stunned for a moment, then immediately burst into laughter.

Since Jiang Liu killed that feng shui master, it proves that he deserved to die!

How could his father let go of the chance to tease this kid?

"Then I won't say anything more."

Jiang Liu knew Wang Yaozu's temperament perfectly well, so he deliberately kept quiet.

"No, tell me quickly."

Seeing his curious expression, Jiang Liu chuckled and stopped keeping him in suspense. He put down the iron rod and bamboo cage he was carrying on his back, called the eight apprentices from the kitchen, and then vividly described his experiences along the way:

Goose City recognizes heroes; together they vanquish the tyrant!

In the small town, they met Lin Jiu and together they vanquished the corpse demon!

Ping Mountain will be handed over to the Moving Mountain Sect to eliminate the three monsters!

On the return journey, they learned alchemy and annihilated the ghouls!

These bizarre events, which are rare to encounter in peaceful times except for the case of local bullies, are commonplace in the chaotic world of warlord conflicts.

That's not it—

Jiang Liu only went on a long trip, and he had such an experience!

# Chapter 191 Cultivation is like a journey against the current; as long as your conscience is clear, that's enough.

The events that Jiang Liu experienced were remembered by his eight apprentices, who planned to incorporate them into a story they could use to perform "rap" in the future.

Let's call it—

New Journey to the West - 1924

The newly joined members, Hong Guniang, Sai Huohou, and Dili Chui, officially joined the Ghost Hand Wang Cai Opera Troupe and were taught the art of reversing the eight directions.

This is the fundamental method of the Ghost Hand King's opera troupe. Except for apprentices who lack the talent to cultivate Qi, others can focus on the methods they already know, but at least they need to know some methods of manipulating human magnetism.

Otherwise, how could he be considered a magician in the Ghost Hand Wang Cai Opera Troupe?

With the addition of three new members, Zhao Qian, Qian Dui, Sun Li, Li Zhen, Zhou Xun, Wu Kan, Zheng Gen, and Wang Kun were also able to learn new ancient magic tricks.

After all, the Ghost Hand Wang Cai Opera Troupe had very few tricks up their sleeves. Lacking the aptitude for Qi cultivation, they could only practice simple knife-throwing techniques besides playing drums and gongs and performing crosstalk.

Now that a true expert in ancient magic has joined the troupe, he can naturally teach them some magic tricks that ordinary people can learn through years of practice.

In addition, Jiang Liu also plans to teach them the Thirteen Postures of Tai Chi and Bajiquan to improve their health.

The Thirteen Postures of Tai Chi may have originated from Zhang Sanfeng, but Jiang Liu did not obtain it from the Wudang Sect. Rather, it was spoils of war obtained by killing a member of the Wild Maoshan Sect. Furthermore, Uncle Nine also instructed Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai to deliver a letter to the Wudang Sect to explain the situation.

Since the Wudang Sect did not send anyone to find him, the Thirteen Forms of Tai Chi were essentially handed over to him, at his disposal.

Moreover, to be honest, compared to Wudang Tai Chi, which focuses more on the ever-changing Qi energy, the Thirteen Postures of Tai Chi focuses more on the harmony of the body during practice.

What is thirteen?

The eight extraordinary meridians, plus the five internal organs, make thirteen.

Although these Thirteen Postures of Tai Chi do not involve combat techniques for using fist strength, they are the foundation for cultivating life force, and long-term practice may even improve one's aptitude for Qi cultivation.

Zhang Sanfeng truly deserves to be called an extraordinary person!

And the remaining Bajiquan—

This internal martial art, like Tai Chi, is widely practiced, and many extraordinary individuals practice it. Naturally, Jiang Liu has no need to worry about any orthodox inheritors or schools of Bajiquan causing trouble.

Thus, the Ghost Hand Wang Cai Opera Troupe also gained a lot of inheritance. In addition to Jiang Liu's own innate ability: God Sealing, and the Ninefold Reversal of Life inherited from the Sanyi Sect, as well as the innate talisman diagram from Ren Jiating that cannot be passed on to others, the other methods include Tai Chi Chuan, Bajiquan, Reversing the Eight Directions, Moon Gate Ancient Cai Opera, Earth Immortal, Object Control, Beast Master, and basic alchemy.

In terms of the variety of skills, it is comparable to a major school!

In addition, there is the Qimen framework method that uses the five internal organs to determine the central palace! However, this method cannot be exposed for the time being. Before one can defeat the older generation with a single blow, one is easily targeted by others!

Just as Jiang Liu, Ghost Hand King, and Red Girl were planning the future development of the opera troupe, inside the Sanyi Sect, after Lu Jin and Li Muxuan put down the magic artifact alchemy furnace, they were called over by Zuo Ruotong to inquire about their experiences along the way.
