Jin Chang Nearly Questioned His Life
Zhang Xuezhou and Dong Zhongshu did not have a very comfortable life.
As for Zhao Liang and the others, they returned to Shu County from the Northern Border, and it is difficult to know whether they have returned safely in the short term.
Everyone was doing so-so, so Jin Chang was naturally not doing very well either.
He was saved by the Nine Revolutions Qi-Melting Technique, but Jin Chang's peaceful days did not last long.
He saw Wu Chao in Shouchun City, as well as the monk beside Wu Chao, and the two even briefly clashed.
This nearly killed Jin Chang on the spot. If he hadn't teamed up with Lei Bei and let Lei Bei block a few attacks, Jin Chang would have died in Shouchun City.
While Jin Chang was evading the pursuit of his fellow disciples, including Tathagata, he was also seeking fortuitous opportunity and decided to go inside the Wenying Pavilion to take a look.
This wasn't a sudden whim of Jin Chang's; rather, someone had mentioned that there was a Huang-Lao art called "The Grave Classic" in the Wenying Pavilion, which could supposedly improve one's fortune and change one's destiny.
This made Jin Chang take the matter to heart.
His purpose in coming here was to obtain the inheritance of the Beast Taming Sect and then offer it to the Wenying Pavilion to see if he could exchange it for the opportunity to view the "Tomb Scripture".
He hoped he wouldn't be so unlucky; he was just trying to recover from his injuries when he was suddenly beaten by a monk who came from West Ox Hezhou.
The distance this calamity spanned was so vast that Jin Chang felt there was no other reason for it except extreme bad luck. After all, even if he were extremely vengeful, Jin Chang couldn't possibly travel tens of thousands of miles to find someone and beat them up.
"Except for my senior brother!"
He silently recited a phrase to himself, and then, looking at the two wailing old men, couldn't help but ask another question.
"The boss is asking you questions," Lei Bei impatiently.
Jin Chang was not doing well, and neither was Lei Bei.
Lei Bei quite confident in his swordsmanship and became the second swordsman in the King of Huainan's Household. However, he did not expect that his proud horizontal sword technique would be no match for his senior brother, Tathagata.
It's normal that swordsmanship can't be used to fight opponents of higher ranks, but few people have given Lei Bei this sense of despair.
Even if he had reached the Divine Ability Realm, or even the Sole Self Realm, Lei Bei felt that his sword would not be able to break through the terrifying physical body of his senior brother, Tathagata.
He had never imagined that a human body could be so terrifying, capable of ignoring swordsmanship and isolating itself from other Technique Method.
This almost completely shattered his idea that he was the best among all weapons and swordsmanship, and correspondingly, Lei Bei's temper was not very good at the moment.
If Huang Shigong and Bai Shigong hadn't lost their companion, he probably would have grabbed the two old men and given them a good beating, letting them know that this wasn't a place for whimpering.
"What do you want to ask?" Zhang Xuezhou replied with a gloomy face.
"The boss said he thinks he's seen you before," Lei Bei.
"What, are you going to kill us three brothers just because you've seen us?" Zhang Xuezhou said.
"No, that's not it!"
Lei Bei a curt reply, and Jin Chang couldn't continue the conversation for a moment.
But a thought stirred within him: the old man before him kept overlapping with the image of a young man.
Such sharp-tongued people, capable of silencing their opponents with a single sentence, are few and far between, even in Jin Chang. And those who leave a deep impression on Jin Chang are even rarer.
Most of those who dared to storm the imperial court's residence at the Beast Taming Sect did not dare to show their faces openly. Even though Lei Bei and Jin Chang both made some attempts to conceal their identities, the old man's face in front of them was probably the result of that concealment.
This prompted Jin Chang to reach out and pinch Zhang Xuezhou's cheek.
"What are you doing?" Zhang Xuezhou asked in surprise.
"Sorry, I've mistaken you for someone else!"
The old man's behavior and mannerisms overlapped with someone he remembered, but the wrinkles and sagging of his face Jin Chang that he was not disguised. At most, the old man was a mid-level cultivator who had achieved success in health preservation, and he also had some features that matched his memory.
"Damn it!"
Jin Chang was convinced that even if he were blind, he wouldn't make a mistake, but the slap in the face came so quickly that he felt increasingly unlucky, and even his once-confident judgment began to falter.
"Everyone has to die eventually, please accept my condolences!"
He offered a word of comfort, which made Zhang Xuezhou look slightly strange.
Jin Chang is right. Li Shaojun is going to die eventually. He's gotten used to dying all the time.
In just two short days, Li Shaojun died three times right under their noses.
This guy also has flaws. Although Li Shaojun's face was pale and bloodless, and he lacked breathing and heartbeat, and his whole body was cold, these symptoms came on too quickly and he did not have the physical characteristics of a person who had just died.
Moreover, Li Shaojun had no injuries and his limbs were completely intact.
Such a death is easy to deceive first-time visitors, but if they encounter it three times in a row, Li Shaojun's trick will begin to lose its effectiveness.
Zhang Xuezhou could only try to cover it up a bit. He nodded, acknowledging Jin Chang's words of comfort.
"Let's find a place to bury Li Shigong first, and then we'll go look for the Beast Taming Sect's treasure vault!"
Zhang Xuezhou was unwilling to squat with Jin Chang at the moment. He used Fake Technique voice to imitate an old man, which made Rong Tianding, who was not good at changing his voice, nod. Then he lifted Li Shaojun's body.
The three of them staggered and disappeared into the nearby woods.
"Wait here for a moment, I'll go keep an eye on Su Fei!"
Jin Chang watched as Zhang Xuezhou and the others disappeared into the woods before turning his gaze away.
He gave Lei Bei a brief instruction, then disappeared into the shadows of the Beast Taming Sect's buildings.
As he continued to move through the shadows, Jin Chang suddenly had a thought.
"Appearances can deceive, the body can deceive, tone of voice can deceive, but cultivation cannot deceive. This guy carries the aura of our Yin-Yang School. I didn't take on any disciples, and all of my senior brothers' disciples are dead. If he's not my senior brother, then only that kid is left!"
As a cultivator of the Yin-Yang School, Jin Chang not only possessed high cultivation level, but he had also come into contact with two cultivation techniques of the Yin-Yang School, making him extremely sensitive to the aura of Yin-Yang School cultivators.
By simply eliminating possibilities, he already knew the true identity behind that face.
Jin Chang believed his judgment was sound.
He didn't have any grudge against Zhang Xuezhou at the moment, but Zhang Xuezhou's memory was indeed quite good.
If obtaining the Beast Taming Sect's treasure could be exchanged for the opportunity to enter the Wenying Pavilion's Class A room, he hoped Zhang Xuezhou could help him memorize and recite the "Grave Scripture," since Jin Chang would find it difficult to memorize such content in a short period of time.
Moreover, Jin Chang is currently hesitant to return to Shouchun City and needs others to help him with his affairs.
He paused in the shadows as he crept into the Beast Taming Sect's main shrine, then turned and disappeared into the woods.
To Jin Chang's slight surprise, Zhang Xuezhou and the others in the woods had not buried the body; instead, three old men were squatting in the woods watching the commotion.
The old man who had died earlier was clearly unharmed.
"Li... Li Shaojun?"
Jin Chang thought hard for a while before remembering this Daoist successor who was neither particularly powerful nor particularly powerful.
Having associated with Li Shaojun, Zhang Xuezhou and the others had clearly changed, completely deceiving him.
