Under One Person: Since I am alone, I can dominate the world

At this time, outside the door of the cottage.

Zhang Taichu looked at Zhang Zhiwei, who looked a little strange, and asked tentatively, "Brother, is there anything else?"

The corners of Zhang Zhiwei's mouth twitched, but he only revealed a hint of bitterness.

He stretched out his hand, pointed to the Heavenly Master's residence on one side, and said helplessly: "Brother, look at what that is?"

Zhang Taichu looked in that direction.

All that was seen was the exposed roof of the Tianshi Mansion. The neatly arranged tiles and wood carvings of the past had become patchy and black with several large gaps.

In the center of the courtyard, the old camphor tree that was once taller than the roof was now broken, and its trunk was charred and looked horrible.

"Hiss——" Zhang Taichu frowned and was about to yell, wondering who dared to challenge the authority of his Tianshi Mansion.

But his mind was shaken, and he suddenly remembered the scene of himself dispelling the calamity clouds just now.

While ravaging the clouds, it seemed that several bolts of lightning did fall in other places.

Then I thought of my senior brother with a stern look on his face.

Could it be that he himself is the culprit?

Thinking of this, Zhang Taichu looked strange, turned around awkwardly, looked at his senior brother in front of him and said, "This Tianshi Mansion, could it be?"

Zhang Zhiwei nodded with an expression that said, "Yes, it's just what you think."

Zhang Taichu coughed dryly: "Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay. Our Tianshi Mansion has been in disrepair for a long time. Isn't it a good time to give it a new coat of paint and renovate it?"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhiwei's face froze, and he could only shake his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Junior brother, you really haven't changed at all."

As he spoke, Zhang Zhiwei turned around again and looked at the many strange people behind him and said, "Everyone, now that the matter has been resolved, please go to the martial arts arena and continue with the first round of the Luotian Grand Ceremony."

The voice fell, gentle and powerful.

No matter how curious the people present were at the moment, they all respected the old Taoist's words and began to leave in an orderly manner, heading towards the martial arts arena in the back mountain.

Looking at the departing figure, Zhang Taichu had an idea and turned to wave to Zhang Lingyu behind him, asking him to come forward.

"Brother, do you still remember our agreement?" Zhang Taichu looked at Zhang Zhiwei in front of him and said seriously, "Now, Zhang Lingyu is my first direct disciple."

Zhang Lingyu, who walked forward, couldn't help but look at the old Taoist priest with mixed emotions.

Zhang Zhiwei looked calm, and nodded slightly to Zhang Lingyu first, then looked at Zhang Taichu in front of him, and said with emotion: "Don't worry, Junior Brother, I am not a person who will break my promise."

"Thank you for your concern for Lingyu's future cultivation path."

Only read till the end, thank you for your hard work.

Chapter 18 Lu Jin's Middle-Aged Shadow

Hearing his senior brother's answer, Zhang Taichu grinned, revealing a row of big white teeth, and smiled brightly.

Zhang Lingyu, who was standing by, also bowed respectfully and said, "I will definitely live up to the high expectations of my uncle and master!"

"Okay, okay, my good disciple." Zhang Taichu said happily, and pointed in the direction of the aliens who were going away: "Lingyu, you should catch up quickly too. Play well in the afternoon's game. Master believes in you."

"Yes, Master."

Zhang Lingyu bowed again and left, then turned and left.

Looking at the direction he left, Zhang Zhiwei sighed: "You should know Lingyu's character."

Zhang Taichu nodded: "I have watched them grow up since they were young, don't worry, I know how to teach them."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhiwei had a complicated expression. He finally sighed and didn't say much.

He knew his junior brother's temper best. In many ways, he was the complete opposite of Zhang Lingyu. One was passionate, the other introverted.

I don’t know what Zhang Lingyu will eventually become under the guidance of his junior brother?

Zhang Zhiwei thought about it, but didn't give it any more thought.

After coming to his senses, he turned around and began to introduce the two people standing beside him to Zhang Taichu.

"This is Lu Jin, Old Lu. You've seen him before and have an impression of him." Zhang Zhiwei said, pointing to an old man in a suit beside him, then to another younger-looking man, and then said, "This is Feng Zhenghao, the president of the Tianxia Association, and the grandson of Feng Tianyang."

After saying this, Zhang Zhiwei introduced the two people beside him: "This is my junior fellow apprentice, Zhang Taichu."

"My name is Feng Zhenghao, and I'm here to meet Senior Taichu." Feng Zhenghao took a step forward and bowed respectfully to Zhang Taichu, regarding himself as a junior.

If an outsider who doesn't know the situation saw this, he would find it unbelievable.

Feng Zhenghao, one of the Ten Lords and the president of the Tianxia Association, actually bowed and saluted a young Taoist priest, showing such respect!

But at this moment, Feng Zhenghao did not feel the slightest bit of reluctance in his heart. Instead, his heartbeat was pounding faster and faster.

Even though he had experienced many ups and downs, he still felt very excited when facing Zhang Taichu at this moment.

Because he is now extremely sure that the young-looking Taoist in front of him is indeed an elder from the old times, just like his grandfather Feng Tianyang and the old Taoist priest Zhang Zhiwei, and has lived to this day!

In other words, although Zhang Taichu looks young, he is already a hundred years old!

What an appalling thing!

One can't help but wonder what level of practice one must have reached to be able to have the same youthful appearance as the person in front of him, or even to be immortal!

Feng Zhenghao didn't know the answer.

But he knew clearly that he had to treat Zhang Taichu with absolute respect!

Seeing Feng Zhenghao taking the initiative to salute, Zhang Taichu did not stop him. He nodded gently and said, "You are the grandson of an old friend, no need to be polite."

Decades ago, he had a brief encounter with Feng Tianyang. Now seeing his old friend's grandson, who had grown into such a gray-haired appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Then he turned his head and looked at Lu Jin, who was half hidden behind Zhang Zhiwei with a heavy expression.

Seeing this, Zhang Taichu raised his eyebrows, smiled slightly and said, "Brother Lu Jin, you were very handsome when you were young. Even now that you are old, you still dress so meticulously and comb your hair in a very unique way."

"Why, you didn't come up to say hello when you saw me?"

When Lu Jin heard this, his face darkened and he seemed hesitant.

greet?

What's the greeting?

Are you coming up to get beaten?

Almost the moment he saw Zhang Taichu, his body trembled, and deep in his mind, the memories that had been buried for decades suddenly came flooding back to his mind.

He still remembered that year, when he was only forty years old and had cultivated to the third level of Reverse Rebirth, he thought he had made some achievements. His good friend Zheng Zibu of the Shangqing Sect entrusted him with the Tongtian Lu, one of the Eight Great Skills.

After achieving success in his training, he thought that he had reached a high level of Taoism and might be able to go to Longhu Mountain and challenge Zhang Zhiwei, who had once defeated him.

As a result, before Lu even left the house, he was found out by Zhang Taichu that day.

The opponent was not coming for him, but for the entire Lu family. It can be said that he alone dealt a heavy blow to all the Lu family members who had taken action because they coveted the Eight Wonders.

Some of the unrepentant elders were even beheaded on the spot.

Zhang Taichu's decisive and murderous look at that time left a deep impression on his mind.

But he was arrogant at that time. Although he agreed with Zhang Taichu's approach in his heart, he took the initiative to provoke the other party in his actions.

So the ending was simple. He was severely beaten and knocked to the ground with just one slap, suffering his second tragic defeat in life.

During the process, the other party didn't even look at him. While beating up an elder of the tribe, he slapped him casually.

Then he lost.

That duel was more painful for him than losing to Zhang Zhiwei. He had no dignity at all. He then made up his mind that one day - he would get back the face he had lost!

As a result, three days later, Zhang Taichu came again, looking for an elder of the Lu family.

So the ending was very simple. The entire Lu family was severely abused again, and he was also slapped in the face and knocked unconscious.

This is the end.

Zhang Taichu became the person he would never forget in his heart.

It even became a shadow of his middle age.

It was not until later that we heard that the Jiashen Rebellion was ended by him, and after that there was gradually no news about him.

-

Time flies, and seventy years have passed in the blink of an eye.

I thought that by now, Zhang Taichu would have grown old and disappeared into history.

But I didn't expect that many years later, we would meet again, and the other person's appearance hadn't changed at all!

Take your thoughts back.

Lu Jin had a complicated expression at this moment. The moment he saw Zhang Taichu, he was in a trance and thought he had returned to decades ago when he was facing him.

As a result, my body shuddered subconsciously, a shadow surged into my heart, and I instinctively felt a little panic for a moment.

Feng Zhenghao was surprised to see this scene, and he felt even more curious and respectful towards Zhang Taichu, the senior from Longhu Mountain.

Zhang Taichu himself, looking at Lu Jin like this, thought that he had not hit him hard enough back then.

How come it caused such psychological trauma to people?

But he changed his mind and smiled carefreely: "Old Lu, what happened back then is in the past. Now it has been decades. Can't you let go of what happened back then?"

"I have been alone in seclusion in the cave in the back mountain for decades. I have also gained some insights and noticed that I have changed. I am no longer the same person I was before."

Lu Jin's heart was shaken when he heard this. After a moment of silence, he finally took a step forward and left behind the old Taoist priest.

He looked at Zhang Taichu, bowed with a complicated expression and said, "Brother Taichu, long time no see."

The contract is signed! The contract is signed! Give me the flowers! Give me the tickets!

Chapter 19: He is the grandson of the big-eared thief

At this moment, Lu Jin finally suppressed his chaotic emotions and dared to face the "middle-aged shadow" in front of him.

When Zhang Taichu saw this, he smiled and bowed in return.

In fact, he had never been hostile or disgusted with Lu Jin.

When he went to the Lu family to quell the rebellion, he accidentally affected the other party. Now that he had talked about everything, he felt a sense of relief in his heart.

Afterwards, under the mediation of Heavenly Master Zhang Zhiwei, the few of them chatted for a while, which eased the atmosphere.

Until the end, when they saw that the official competition of Luotian Dajiao was about to begin, a group of high-ranking monks left this place and went to take charge of the situation.

As for Zhang Taichu, in response to his senior brother Zhang Zhiwei's invitation to attend the ceremony, he waved his hand, indicating that he still had some things to deal with.

After seeing off a few people, Zhang Taichu turned around and returned to the cabin.

The conversation just now really made him feel a lot of emotion, and he felt that the world had changed a lot.

Because of the Xuantian Qi Fa, his body almost stopped aging.

Because of his long-term seclusion, he spent decades alone in the cave in the back mountain, and spent most of his time immersed in meditation.

Now that he has come out of seclusion, all his old friends have grown old, leaving him in a trance, with a feeling of time and space confusion.

As his thoughts wandered, he thought more and more, until finally, he took the initiative to put away his thoughts and stopped dwelling on them.

The past has passed, and the future has not yet come.

Then just live in the present moment.

"After the previous breakthrough, the system seemed to beep a few times, but I didn't pay attention to it."

Zhang Taichu muttered to himself. After returning to the house alone, his mind moved and the familiar system appeared in his mind again.

But on the panel that had been blank for ninety years, there was finally a change.

"This system is really simple and clear." Zhang Taichu took a closer look and complained casually.

On the panel, under the Disciple column, the three words "Zhang Lingyu" appeared, followed by a progress bar with different values.

Apart from this, there is nothing else, even the other noodles appear gray.

"Is there not even a tutorial?" Zhang Taichu muttered to himself.

But at this moment, his mind shook and suddenly a warm current surged, bringing a lot of information about the system, which appeared in his mind in an instant, like enlightenment.

All of a sudden, Zhang Taichu had a concrete understanding of this "Path to Immortality through Public Power" system.
