One person: I am Li Buren, I cannot bear to do anything!
Chapter 2 Junior Brother, I'll Take This Tribulation
If we say that there is a "one person below one person" - the Old Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei - sitting in charge of Longhu Mountain.
Therefore, Wudang Mountain also needs a new leader to revitalize its prestige.
"Junior brother, have you seen Xiao Wang Ye?"
"Huh? I think I just saw him go inside. He should still be inside."
"Okay, I understand."
"By the way, Senior Brother Li, I've recently encountered some problems in my Tai Chi practice. Could you please tell me...?"
"We're brothers, there's no need for formalities. If you have any questions, I'll give you some pointers."
As he spoke, Li Buren didn't rush to find Wang Ye, but patiently began to guide the young Wudang disciple in front of him.
Meanwhile, the somewhat flattered junior brother thought to himself.
"As rumored, Senior Brother Li is indeed as warm-hearted as he is said to be, and his Tai Chi skills are no less than those of his senior uncles."
"No wonder there's been a growing call for him to become the new 'Junior Master' lately..."
With his extremely high level of life cultivation and understanding of Tai Chi, Li Buren quickly guided his junior brother.
He entered the room amidst the grateful and respectful gaze of his junior brother and saw Wang Ye performing divination.
"puff!"
At this moment, the king was performing divination to consider the Luo Tian Grand Ritual.
However, due to the immense causal implications involved, it suffered a huge backlash.
Not only that, blood seeped from five of Wang Ye's seven orifices: his mouth, nose, and eyes.
It looks particularly terrifying.
"Master, senior brother, I will go with you to the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony."
Having read the original novel, Li Buren naturally knew that Wang Ye was injured because of divination.
But he still asked one question.
"The Grand Tutor had been asking you to come with me, but you refused because you thought it was too much trouble."
"Why the sudden change of mind, Xiao Wang?"
Wang Ye naturally couldn't say that he was going to help the Old Celestial Master overcome his tribulation and eliminate Zhuge Qing.
He had no choice but to make up an excuse, saying he wanted to see the world's most talented people.
Li Buren knew all too well about Wang Ye's easygoing, Buddhist-like personality.
He was so arrogant that he could only muster a handful of talented people in the world.
This trip was merely to help the Old Master preserve his reputation.
However, this trip would expose the existence of Feng Hou Qi Men, thus sowing the seeds for his later expulsion from Wudang and the attack on his family.
"Even if I'm not here, Xiao Wang won't be able to escape this calamity."
"But since I was there, and Xiao Wang was also going to suffer this calamity, I took over."
When informing Grand Tutor Zhou Meng, the old man unusually pulled Li Buren aside.
"I can't bear it! Do you know why I taught you all the Wudang martial arts I knew, but not the art of divination?"
Li lowered his head in reluctance.
"If Grand Tutor wants to tell me, I will know without asking."
"If the Grand Tutor is unwilling to tell me, no matter how much I ask, I will find it difficult to know."
Zhou Meng was taken aback, then burst into laughter.
"You really don't want to compete. I really wonder if you've raised Xiao Wang to be like this."
Li couldn't help but speak, and Zhou Meng continued talking.
"The art of divination is ultimately tied to the concept of fate."
"Destiny, fortune can be changed, but fate is predetermined."
"If you have the ability to overcome calamities, you must not possess any more Taoist techniques to encounter calamities."
"If something is too perfect, it will inevitably have flaws."
"Remember, fate is called fate because it is difficult to change."
Even the process of changing your destiny is part of "fate."
Li couldn't help but nod in agreement.
Zhou Meng in the original work also said something similar, so he was naturally very familiar with it.
"Alright, Grand Tutor, you can stay on the mountain and watch the live stream on WeChat. I'll take good care of Little Wang Ye."
Zhou Meng nodded, watching Li Buren's figure disappear behind the mountain.
"Fate, fate, fortune can be changed, but destiny is already set..."
...
Wang Ye was packing his things at that moment.
His purpose in going to the Luotian Grand Ceremony was very simple.
One reason was that they had figured out the old master's scheme and didn't want him to ruin his reputation by scheming against Zhuge Qing.
Another reason was that he foresaw great chaos in the world of supernatural beings and wanted to give Zhang Chulan a choice.
Li Buren's thoughts were even simpler.
He went with them to protect his junior brother, Wang Ye.
In comparison, Li Buren is more like an enlarged version of Wang Ye.
What Wang Ye was pursuing was simply to protect himself and his family in the chaos of the world.
What he didn't expect was that even with his abilities, it would be difficult to truly protect himself and his family.
What Li Buren cared about was the entire Wudang.
Unlike Wang Ye, if things continue like this, Li Buren might truly be able to protect the entire Wudang...
Wang was a lazy person and had little interest in meeting the world's most talented people.
But Li couldn't bear it.
Although he had been practicing in seclusion for over forty years, he was able to witness those characters from the novel come to life one day.
It would be a lie to say I'm not looking forward to it.
Turbulent times breed heroes, whether it's Zhang Lingyu, who acted on a whim.
He was a hero of the Zhuge family, and it is said that he did not listen to gossip, Zhuge Qing.
And Zhang Chulan, the legendary "shameless" one, both filled Li Buren with anticipation.
"On Mount Wudang, I already have few rivals. I really don't know how much I amount to in this world of extraordinary beings?"
"If I were not in this world, how many would claim to be the pinnacle, how many would be considered heroes?"
With such anticipation and ambition, the two brothers boarded the high-speed train to Longhu Mountain, each with their own purpose.
...
"Why do we need an entrance fee to enter Longhu Mountain?"
At the foot of Longhu Mountain, Li Buren and Wang Ye stared blankly at the ticket price of 260.
"Hey, hey, hey, let me tell you, don't think you can sneak in without paying just by cosplaying as a Taoist priest!"
"Last time, an elderly Taoist priest came up from the front of the mountain and he also bought a ticket."
The staff at the scenic area stopped the two of them and spoke to them in a very authoritative manner.
Li Buren and Wang Ye exchanged a glance, their lips twitching.
"Could he be talking about the Old Celestial Master...?"
Li Buren nudged Wang Ye beside him with his elbow, his expressionless face blank.
"Junior brother, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and pay!"
Wang Ye was taken aback, then put on a calm expression and looked at Li Buren.
"Senior brother, you know me. I've always been penniless."
Li rolled his eyes. "Fine, fine, so you're the penniless Daoist Wang, are you?"
Fortunately, Li had asked Master Yunlong for some funds before coming, and reluctantly bought two tickets to go up the mountain with Wang Ye.
On the way, Wang Ye couldn't help but sigh.
"260 yuan for a ticket, Longhu Mountain really doesn't rip off poor people!"
"Even just to see the scenery, it's this expensive. This Longhu Mountain scenic area is just too much..."
...
"That's outrageous! Bao'er, look at this, two tickets cost me 520!"
"This isn't just trying to take my money, it's trying to kill me!"
Not far ahead of the two, a handsome but sleazy-looking boy was with a girl wearing a baseball cap.
Although most of the face was covered by a baseball cap, it was still possible to recognize the other person's outstanding features.
Wang Ye was taken aback and was about to step forward when he saw a figure pass by.
"If you two find the ticket price for Longhu Mountain too expensive, you can look me up next time you come to Wudang Mountain."
"My name is Li Buren. Mention my name and you'll get a 20% discount!"
