From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"Ok?"

The female disciple was stunned for a moment before she realized what was happening. She hurriedly ran while calling out, "Master, wait for me! I can't keep up! Master! Daddy! Wait for me!"

"Bah!"

Upon seeing this, Hong Guniang laughed and said, "Those three disciples are all Zhang Enpu's children. The eldest son is called Zhang Yunxian, the second son is called Zhang Yunkang, and the eldest daughter is called Zhang Wanxiang."

I didn't expect you to scare me like that—

He disregarded his daughter and fled with only his two sons... This clearly shows he favored sons over daughters.

"In this era, the preference for sons over daughters is quite common; it's just that those of us who are spiritual practitioners take it less seriously. But with the efforts of all of us, people's views will gradually change."

Jiang Liu smiled calmly and then instructed Hong Guniang, "However, the man surnamed Jiang will not let this go. Zhang Enpu may also continue to cause trouble for us. Have Zhao Qian and Wang Kun lead the Na Du Tong security team to patrol more often, just in case."

The young woman made a note of it, then asked, "Who is in charge of the reception hall?"

"Gao Huan, perhaps."

Gao Huan was chosen because, with her help, she was born with the destiny of a child, using the five internal organs to circulate the innate Qi, like Pangu creating the world, with his head reaching the sky and his feet on the ground. The pure Qi rose to become the sky, and the turbid Qi descended to become the earth, so that the primordial spirit was clear, while many distracting thoughts combined with the power of the spirit and soul, entered the six internal organs, and combined with the definition of "floating soul" in the shamanic system, awakened Banajim, which is a green eagle.

Banajim is the earth mother goddess in shamanic mythology, corresponding to the human underworld, and her divine role is almost identical to that of Houtu, the earth deity.

The earth creates yin and yang, nurturing all things.

Now that I've spent nearly two years reflecting on my experiences, if I want to further improve my understanding, I need to interact with all sorts of people.

"I've noted it down."

Miss Hong nodded, then took out another invitation and said, "Master Lu's 80th birthday is coming up soon, in about half a month. Shall we go?"

"go."

Jiang Liu laughed and said, "Lu Jin mentioned this to me three and a half years ago, and was even worried about what birthday gift to give."

"He mentioned his grandfather's 80th birthday three and a half years ago?" Miss Hong was taken aback at first, but then calmed down and suspected that this might be a family rule of the Lu family. "By the way, you didn't come back this time just to celebrate the birthday of the old man of the Lu family, did you?"

"Of course not!"

Seeing Hong Guniang's assumption, Jiang Liu was both amused and exasperated. He didn't hide anything and recounted his past experiences—

Guixu Yong, riding a turtle across the sea; Huangsha Dang, resisting sandstorms; arriving in Egypt, transforming into Serket.

Leap through time and space to see the future; teach disciples to feel the connection between the seasons and the heavens; observe the sacred tree to understand the way of the gods.

He then participates in a life-or-death game and learns of the Freemasons' conspiracy!

They also encountered an eight-headed strange bird and realized the existence of the Nine-Orifice Yin Worm!

Explore Atlantis and challenge the ancient Gonggong!

Head to the romantic city of Paris and cultivate inner peace!

Afterwards, he transcended time and space, took Chen Xiaoyu as his disciple, and enlightened her to the Mahayana Dharma of the Golden Elixir and Holy Embryo, cultivating the Primordial Qi... He also obtained the Eight Aspects of Guru Rinpoche, forged the Six Aspects, and was able to have his primordial spirit leave his body... He also subdued Ananda, the deity of all beings, who coiled around his spine and forged a true golden seed, thus obtaining the foundation of the Dharmakaya, and is expected to achieve the immortality of the Dharmakaya!

Upon hearing this, Miss Hong was speechless for a moment. After a long while, she came to her senses and asked, "So, your cultivation has now reached the level of 'Daoist practice,' and you have already gained 4.6 billion years of Daoist practice? And the insights into agricultural civilization left behind by Lü Dongbin in another world through his straw raincoat? And another 5,000 years of Daoist practice?"

"There is only a possibility of gaining 4.6 billion years of cultivation."

The pure and sincere light illuminates the 4.6 billion-year history of the Earth, and one must personally experience the magnificent evolution of life within it to fully grasp its essence.

Similarly, the straw raincoat, which embodies the principles of agricultural civilization, is also like that.

It will take time!

"That's just a matter of time."

Red Girl was speechless, but not envious. Instead, she was overjoyed by Jiang Liu's opportunity. She quickly regained her composure, knowing that by following Jiang Liu, she too would one day cultivate to the point of attaining "cultivation"...

···

In the blink of an eye.

Half a month passed quietly.

On the day of the Lu family patriarch's 80th birthday, Lu Jin and Hong Guniang had already made preparations, but Jiang Liu pulled Lu Mingfei over as well, saying, "As a member of the Lu family, you also have to go and see your maternal grandfather."

"But I'm already 'dead' in the Lu family's genealogy!"

Lu Mingfei wanted to cry but had no tears.

"It's alright."

Jiang Liu chuckled, "Perfect timing. I'm the young master of the Ghost Hand Wang Cai Opera Troupe, a magician. Why don't you hide first, and I'll give Old Master Lu a 'magic trick' later?"

Lu Mingfei: "..."

# Chapter 955 Lu Family Birthday Banquet (Part 1) Lu Guangda

Just as Jiang Liu was about to lead his men into flight, Miss Liu ran over, intending to go to the Lu family with them.

"reason?"

Jiang Liu asked.

"Don't you have discerning eyes?"

Over the past two weeks, most members of the Confucian Association have come to understand that Jiang Liu has cultivated the wisdom eye of a Bodhisattva, enabling him to see the past and the future at a glance.

That's why everyone has even more faith in Jiang Liu.

"Then I'll go and 'observe' it myself."

Jiang Liu made a gesture to look at Shi Yin, and a lotus-shaped mark vaguely appeared in his eyes, as if reflecting a magnificent Milky Way.

No! No! No!

Miss Liu hurriedly raised her hand to cover Jiang Liu's eyes, thinking that this would stop him from getting information. She looked quite comical. "I'll talk! I'll talk myself! Don't look! If you see all the embarrassing things I did when I was a child, I'll be so ashamed!"

Seeing Jiang Liu nod seriously, Miss Liu breathed a sigh of relief, put her hand down, and explained why she wanted to go together.

This brings us to her background—

The eldest daughter of the Liu family in western Hunan.

Upon first encountering his family's secret corpse-driving technique, he awakened an innate ability, thus abandoning his family's skills and focusing on researching the "Time-Flash Technique."

When she grew up, her parents thought it was time for her to get married, so they planned to marry her off to a landlord's son from a neighboring village whom she had never met.

She refused, took a large sum of money from the house, and secretly ran away...

“Indeed, even if you can cook, but don’t know how to run a business, you probably wouldn’t even have a problem eating if you didn’t bring money from home,” Jiang Liu commented seriously. “Your hot pot restaurant was able to stay open initially because of my reputation, and later Lu Huizhong helped out.”

Is this the important point?

Immediately, Miss Liu put her hands on her hips, pouted, and said angrily, "The point is, I ran away from my arranged marriage!"

So?

Lu Jin raised an eyebrow.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh! So what?! I don't understand your fancy foreign language!"

Miss Liu glared at Lu Jin, sighed, and looked at Jiang Liu. "I've figured it out now. Running away without saying a word was too reckless. I should have told my parents."

"so?"

Lu Jin spoke in Chinese this time.

Miss Liu spread her hands, rolled her eyes, and said, "Among the four great families, the Wang family and the Lu family are both in the Jiangnan area. My Liu family from Xiangxi is in Hunan, which is also part of Jiangnan. I will definitely go to congratulate them then, and I will naturally go to see my family."

"Why not just go home?" Lu Jin wondered why Miss Liu would schedule the meeting with her family for his grandfather's birthday.

"First of all, I ran away from home. If I go back, my parents might ground me."

With Miss Liu's current strength, it's not that she can't beat her family members, but she really can't lay a hand on them.

That would be utterly outrageous!

"Secondly, important people care about their reputation. If we bring this up at your old man's birthday banquet, my family won't make a scene."

no doubt.

The second reason was that she had accurately predicted her family's "concern for face".

In fact, this is the same for the heads of all the major families and the leaders of all the sects.

To cause a scene at the Lu family patriarch's birthday banquet would not only be a disgrace to one's own family, but also an insult to the entire Lu family's reputation.

It's not worth the risk!

"Thirdly, it's to let you know I'm safe and sound. And it just so happens to be your grandfather's birthday, isn't that a double celebration?" Miss Liu said with certainty.

"Can the phrase 'double happiness' be used like that?" Lu Jin was speechless. She sighed and asked Lu Mingfei, "Cousin, I'm too lazy to deal with this. If you agree, I'll agree."

Seeing Lu Jin pass the buck to him, Lu Mingfei was speechless: "I'm practically a 'dead man' in the Lu family!"

In the end, Jiang Liu vouched for them and agreed to take Miss Liu with them. They left Yuhang together, riding the clouds and mist, and with Lu Jin leading the way, they soon arrived at a town with nearly a thousand households.

Surrounded by mountains on all sides, with continuous peaks, but the highest peak is no more than 500 meters high. A stream, like a giant python, winds through the mountains. As the saying goes, "Where the wind is hidden and energy gathers, the earth's veins naturally form."

Although the feng shui of this place is not as majestic as those famous mountains and rivers, nor can it compare to those blessed lands with their own unique aura, it is still a place of beautiful mountains and clear waters, with a tendency to be described as "a mountain range seen from different angles."

Among the four great families, the Lu family has no family-inherited secret techniques. When the family members join various sects, they will not pass on their secret techniques to their own family members. However, they can talk about some principles and philosophies of cultivation to their family members, which is why the Lu family chose this place as the foundation of their family.

And because it was the time of spring's arrival in the east, with wildflowers in full bloom, it was impossible not to stop and admire them.

After a long while, the river finally descended from the clouds and landed on the ground. It walked nearly a hundred meters before entering the town.

Compared to ordinary villages and towns, perhaps because the Lu family is based here, and many talented members of the Lu family have become disciples of other sects, the Lu family has many dealings with various sects, resulting in a complex web of relationships. As a result, not many warlords or bandits dare to come here to cause trouble.

Therefore, the lives of the people here are much better than those in other villages and towns. Although each household cannot guarantee three meals a day, they can barely manage two meals a day.

In those days, with war raging, many families across China dared not even dream of having one meal a day, let alone two.

Having not returned to his hometown for many years, Lu Jin felt a deep sense of nostalgia upon seeing the familiar surroundings again. He spoke more than usual, leading Jiang Liu, Hong Guniang, and Liu Guniang on a leisurely stroll through the streets and alleys with Lu Mingfei, introducing everything he knew about the town.

It wasn't until noon that he calmed down, settled down, and led the four of them toward the Lu family compound.

Unlike the other families in the town, the Lu family compound was built at the foot of a small hill more than 100 meters high on the edge of the town, with a stream flowing by on the left side, truly embodying the concept of being nestled against the mountain and by the water.

Secondly, the courtyard is situated on high ground, allowing one to overlook the entire town and giving it a sense of aloof pride.

But unlike Taoist temples and monasteries that are located on mountains, it has a kind of approachable and easygoing feel.
