Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 295 Wang Yihang

After setting the time to go to Longhu Mountain, Wang Yi set off quickly. The affairs of the Beijing company were handed over to Liu Wei, a former gangster and current second-in-command of the company.

With this guy in charge of managing and controlling intelligence, Wang Yi feels much more at ease and can travel far away with peace of mind.

Especially at the moment, the 29th Army of the National Government had just fought at Xifengkou with the Japanese who occupied the three provinces outside the Great Wall and wanted to further occupy North China. They were directly repelled and did not dare to think about further occupying North China for the time being.

Liu Wei also spread his spies widely around the embassy circles in the capital. As long as there was any movement in the Japanese Embassy within the embassy circles, he would receive the news at the first time and then notify Wang Yi.

Under this arrangement, Wang Yi left the capital.

On the Longhu Mountain side, Zhang Enpu, who represented the Zhang family, and the disciple with the surname Mao, as well as Zhang Huaiyi, who represented the disciples with the same surnames as the Hundred Family, had also heard the news. They were expectant, curious, and worried about Wang Yi's visit to Longhu Mountain.

The entire Zhengyi lineage also began to take action after Wang Yi, who was as famous as Zhang Zhiwei, the best young man in their Zhengyi lineage, left Beijing.

Jiangnan, Lu family, Lu mansion.

Ever since Old Master Lu announced on his 80th birthday in 1915 that his nephew Lu Xuan would be the head of the Lu family, the old master gradually unloaded his own burdens and put them on his nephew until he slowly took over the entire Lu family's affairs.

As his father's burdens increased, Lu Jin, as a son, was naturally not much better off.

In the past few years, he could still practice peacefully in Sanyi Sect, and he could also be passionate and go outside the Great Wall to accompany Wang Yi in fighting with Japanese aliens.

But he has no freedom in the past few years. He spends less time at Sanyi Gate and more time at the Lu family. As the eldest son and future head of the Lu family, he has to learn to share the affairs of his father, and at the same time, he has to do a good job of educating his peers, younger brothers and sisters in the family.

This will prevent a few people from ruining the family tradition, not only tarnishing the family's reputation but also bringing trouble upon themselves.

Especially now, in Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi, the Kuomintang's anti-bandit campaign is underway, and the National Army has launched the fourth encirclement and suppression military operation. The army that is called red bandits by the Kuomintang but is the savior in the eyes of many poor families is also trying to break this encirclement and suppression.

The Lu family is located in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. It is a huge family located on the battlefield where two sides are fighting. No matter how cautious they are, it is not too much.

On this day, Lu Jin was in the grandfather's house taking care of Old Master Lu who was sick and lying in bed.

Looking at the grandfather who played pranks on him on his 80th birthday when he was a teenager and was as lively as a naughty boy, now lying in bed, sleeping more and more and waking less and less, Lu Jin was also worried.

It is now the 22nd year of the Republic of China. Lu Jin, who was born in the first year of the Xuantong reign, is now 24 years old. At this age, in an ordinary family of that era, the child would have been three and it is time for him to go to school and work.

In other words, the Lu family is a family of extraordinary people. Those who have practiced have the ability to maintain their youth. Even at the age of forty they look no different from being in their twenties. In addition, their body functions have not declined, so talking about marriage is not a big problem for them.

Therefore, as the head of the family and an elder, Lu Jin was not so anxious to urge his son to get married. Lu Jin, who helped his father share the chores, also understood the reason why his grandfather was bedridden.

The old man celebrated his 80th birthday in 1915, and he is now 88 years old. Although he has passed the 83-year-old mark, there have been constant wars both internally and externally in recent years, and the situation is unclear. If a family as large as the Lu family wants to survive in such a chaotic situation without suffering too much damage, it will always have to pay some price.

These costs are unconscionable.

The old man paid the price, but he also understood what he had done that was against the will of heaven and earth. Especially when he saw that the position he chose after paying the price seemed to be that of a person who fawned on others but was extremely cruel at home, the old man's conscience was even more tormented.

But no matter how much he regretted, the mistake had already been made, especially for the Lu family, which passed down family traditions. As the head of the family, he could dirty his hands for the family and endure the torment of his conscience, but if the result was not what he wanted, then this torment would be like sinking into the torture of hell.

Today's Lu Jin is no longer the playful boy he used to be. Now that he is sharing the burden of his father, he understands why his great-grandfather fell seriously ill.

That is to say, although the old man's cultivation is not high, his methods of health preservation and longevity are not a big problem. For the old man, this can be regarded as the punishment he accepts.

While taking care of Old Master Lu who was a little drowsy on the sickbed, Lu Jin was also thinking about the current position of the Lu family. Thinking of his cousin Lu Guangda, who was much better than him but studied in the United States, Lu Jin, who was no longer the handsome young man, could vaguely guess the reason why his cousin did not want to return home. Then, was his cousin standing on another position like his senior brother Wang Yi, who was not a fellow disciple in name but in reality?

While thinking this, the housekeeper gently knocked on the door.

"Master, Evangelist Zheng Zi from Shangqing Maoshan is waiting for you in the lobby."

"My brother is coming? It's not a festival, why is he coming at this time? Uncle Gong, has anything happened in the circle recently?"

"Indeed, a big incident happened, but it cannot be considered as an incident within the circle. It was caused by someone from outside the circle. The owner of the family did not let you know about it because he was taking care of the old man."

The housekeeper Uncle Gong said something obscurely, and Lu Jin took a look at the grandfather who was sleeping on the bed and roughly understood the reason.

"Is this what my brother is here for?"

"That's it."

"Okay, I'll go ask him."

Maoshan is located in Jiangsu Province and is known as the first blessed land of Taoism and a branch of Zhengyi. With this geographical advantage, Zheng Zibu was able to become good brothers with Lu Jin of the Lu family who was also in the Jiangnan area. Otherwise, they were so far apart and rarely saw each other throughout the year, so how could they have been close friends?

When Lu Jin arrived at the hall, Zheng Zibu was already waiting for him there. When he saw Lu Jin come out, he came up and asked without any greetings.

"Is the old man feeling better?"

"Alas, sometimes he is asleep and sometimes he is awake. The old man can only take care of himself at this stage. What do you want from me?"

"Do you know what your senior brother has been doing recently?"

"Brother Wang Yi? Ever since Master appointed Brother Wang Yi as the walking officer of the Sanyi Sect and made him the leader of the sect, I have been taking care of Grandpa at home. What happened to Brother Wang Yi?"

"Do you know him well enough? Can you trust what he says?"

"Brother never speaks without a purpose. Basically, what he said is almost right."

"Ah, that's a difficult matter. The Japanese are causing public outrage outside the Great Wall. It's not too much for him to ask the people inside the Great Wall to speak up and do something for both public and private reasons. We are all Chinese people, so why would we be in conflict with Mount Longhu?" "Brother, why would we be in conflict with Mount Longhu? Brother, you don't have a single good word to say!"

"See for yourself."

Zheng Zibu took out the newspaper and Zhang Huaiyi's letter from his sleeve and handed it to Lu Jin. As Lu Jin read the contents of the newspaper and the letter, his eyes became fierce, and veins bulged on his hands as he held the newspaper and the letter.

"The Japanese pirates deserve to die! What does Zhang Enpu mean? A fellow whose cultivation and talent are not even as good as Zhang Huaiyi's, dares to point out Senior Brother Wang Yi's origin? A lone man named Wang Yi? A disciple of Quanxing Sect, Wang Yi? Could it be that he forgot that Senior Brother Wang Yi is still a walker in the world of our Sanyi Sect?"

The depression in his heart turned into anger, and the white hair that was the same as his mentor Zuo Rutong's also stood on end with anger. The teacups and water used to entertain guests in the hall also floated in the air with Lu Jin's anger.

Seeing this, Zheng Zibu also took out a talisman from his arms, eliminated the strange phenomenon in the hall, and then pressed his brother's shoulders.

"Alright, alright, calm down. I'm here to discuss something with you! What's the point of you getting angry here? Sit down and talk. Uncle Gong, give us some tea, and no one else should come around."

"Okay, Master Zheng."

The butler was also a tactful person. After serving the tea, he took the servants out and left, leaving Lu Jin and Zheng Zibu in the hall.

"Brother, listen to my analysis first. Right now, Zhang Zhiwei has been expelled from Longhu Mountain. But you also told me that Zhang Huaiyi's cultivation and talent are only second to Zhang Zhiwei and your senior brother Wang Yi, and he is better than you. In other words, among the descendants of this generation of Tianshi Mansion, the two disciples who can serve as Tianshi are both false surnames. If you were a member of the Zhang family, what would you think?"

"What do you think? This fake disciple will also have to marry a girl from the Zhang family in the end. What's the difference?"

"But as time goes by, is Zhang Tianshi of the Tianshi Mansion really the Zhang family's Tianshi, or is he pretending to be the Zhang family's Tianshi? So no matter what Zhang Enpu thinks, he must not let Zhang Huaiyi get what he wants."

"With this kind of ambition, you still want to be a Heavenly Master?!"

Listening to Zheng Zibu's conversation, Lu Jin was so angry that he laughed.

The Zhang family didn't think about it. If the Tianshi Mansion didn't have the rule that someone with the surname Zhang could be the Tianshi, would the Tianshi Mansion have survived until now? The grace of a gentleman will be cut off after five generations. Without the rule of pretending to be Zhang, the Five Thunders Orthodox Method would have perished if there was no good successor.

Do you really think that the circle of extraordinary people is all about human relationships and worldly affairs, with no fighting and killing?
The Zhang family members now began to complain about this rule.

"The second is the Sanyi Sect's worldly walker you mentioned. As for this identity, it seems that it is you Sanyi Sect that recognizes it. It's not that other people in the circle don't recognize it. The problem is that your senior brother has not joined the Sanyi Sect and is not a Sanyi Sect disciple. When you Sanyi Sect disciples are here, he is a Sanyi Sect worldly walker. If you Sanyi Sect disciples are not here, is he still a Sanyi Sect worldly walker?
And this time when you climb Mount Longhu, what identity do you think your senior brother will use to climb Mount Longhu, and walk in the world of Sanyi Sect? To put it bluntly, if your senior brother really has an accident in Mount Longhu, how will you Sanyi Sect deal with it? Have a fight with Mount Longhu? And in the final analysis, this matter is something that Wang Yi has made clear when he climbed Mount Longhu. Even if Longhu Mountain wants to make a fuss, it can't be too big, so don't worry about it. "

After some consolation, Lu Jin's anger gradually subsided, but he also pointed at the content of the newspaper.

"I don't know why the government didn't allow this newspaper to be distributed, but I can tell you that with Senior Brother Wang Yi's personality, this is not false! And what's reflected in this is just the tip of the iceberg of the Japanese pirates. I can guarantee this with the reputation of the Lu family. Now you also know that you are also a legitimate lineage of Shangqing Maoshan. What's your attitude? Tell me."

"Brother, your words have put me in a dilemma. I am not the head of Mount Mao, so my attitude is useless. It depends on the attitude of the Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu, the ancestral temple of Taoism, who is in charge of Zhengyi."

"Now that Maoshan has acknowledged this, the Heavenly Master must consider Maoshan's attitude, right?"

"But I'm not the head of the sect! And when I left the mountain, I heard that our senior brother Lin Jian had also received the letter from Zhang Enpu and was going to help him and calm the situation."

"You have a senior brother?"

"Of course there are none. There are nine of us in this generation, and I am the third oldest. My eldest brother entered the Taoist sect early and started a family early. When I entered the Taoist sect, he had already gone down the mountain to open his own Taoist temple."

"How is your cultivation?"

"I don't know, but he is stronger than the eight of us. Only the eight of us brothers can defeat the eldest brother together. But the master is not very optimistic about the eldest brother. He said that his character is flawed. He has to overcome this hurdle by himself. If he can't overcome it, he will not give the position of the head of Maoshan to the eldest brother for fear of something bad happening."

"Brother, let's go!"

"Where?"

"He, Zhang Enpu, asked your eldest senior brother to go and calm the situation. I am a disciple of Trinity, so how can I not go and clear the way for Trinity's worldly marching formation?"

"Don't you see that your Senior Brother Wang Yi has no intention of involving your Sanyi Sect in this matter?"

"That was when we were climbing Mount Longhu. We haven't climbed Mount Longhu yet, so what's wrong with me clearing the way?"

"So you have to involve me and make me fight against my senior brother?"

"You are my brother. In a word, are you going or not?"

"Let's go, let's go. It's a rare trip down the mountain. Speaking of Zhang Zhiwei and Wang Yi, I have never seen what level these two people are at. I don't know if my Maoshan talisman can fight against them."

"By the way, do you know how to find your senior brother?"

"I don't know, but how can we not find you if you enter Longhu Mountain? Do you have enough armor and horses?"

"If you don't bring enough, I can draw it now. Why are you talking to me, a talismanist? I have enough materials."

"Okay, I'll go report this to my father. You didn't tell me about all the big things that happened in and out of the circle during the time you were taking care of Grandpa. Do you think I'm his son?"

Zheng Zibu is a person who likes to watch the fun and can't sit still, otherwise he wouldn't have made this special trip to the Lu family to find Lu Jin.

In the original timeline, until he became sworn brothers with Wu Gensheng and obtained Tongtian Lu, one of the Eight Great Skills, in Tongtian Valley while being hunted down, until his death, he had never seen Zhang Zhiwei or fought with him once.

Now, as Wang Yi, like a butterfly, keeps flapping its wings, many things are changing in unpredictable directions.

As for Wang Yi at this time, half a month after leaving Beijing, he had already set foot in the territory of Longhu Mountain, Gan.
