Chapter 133 Lu Li in History

"That can't be right."

The one who uttered the exclamation was the blond-haired man standing next to Xing Tian.

He pointed at the painting, his face full of doubt, "Is that Lu Li, the great master? But this painting was created more than three hundred years ago!"

Xing Tian simply stared at the painting, lost in thought.

He wasn't concerned with Lu Li in the painting.

Lu Li can travel between worlds, so Xing Tian thinks that traveling through time wouldn't be a problem either.

The problem is those people standing opposite Xing Tian.

It's clear that behind Lu Li on the left is a large pass.

Before him stood a vast army.

Standing in front of the vast army were ten people.

Ten people dressed in different ways.

Xing Tian discovered that he was among those ten people.

Because the "self" in that painting is wearing a suit of armor.

That suit of armor is now within his tiny space.

The other nine people are probably the other nine arrivals.

Are those ten people fighting against Lu Li?

But the description below this painting...

"The Demon-Slaying Picture Outside Shanhaiguan Pass"

That's right, that's the name of the painting.

The following is the story.

This tells the story of wild boar skin being brought into the pass more than 300 years ago.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty was already terminally ill, and wild boar hides were about to be brought into the pass.

Meanwhile, a senior member of the Juexiang Sect traveled north alone to leave the pass.

In the end, he single-handedly held off 100,000 enemy cavalry outside Shanhaiguan.

The enemy sent ten extraordinary individuals to assassinate that senior member of the Juexiang Sect.

But in the end, nine of the ten extraordinary individuals died and one went missing.

Then, the senior wiped out an army of 100,000 with a single move, and then ascended to heaven and left.

Unfortunately, the Ming Dynasty did not last long, and in the end, the dynasty changed.

But that's another story.

The thing that Xingtian is struggling with right now is that nine out of ten people are dead and one is missing!

No way, Brother Li!

With a relationship as strong as ours, would you kill me?

His biggest fear now is that he is one of the nine people who died.

That's right, Xing Tian figured it out.

This is talking about things in the future.

It is the "past" of this world, but it is his and Lu Li's "future".

Because he hadn't experienced what was depicted in the painting, he was certain that it represented his "future."

So, can this "future" be changed?

Xing Tian felt that he couldn't change it.

Because that is the "past" of this world.

And it's not a parallel world.

So if things really did change, he wouldn't be able to see this painting today.

At this moment, Xing Tian's mind was no longer on this mission.

He was thinking about what to do if he encountered Lu Li in the future.

Although history cannot be changed, he must become that "missing" person!

Why did they disappear?

It's definitely a return to space!

Then he will become the person who returns to this space!

I already understand what to do.

Since the painting depicts the late Ming Dynasty.

If any mission takes place in the late Ming Dynasty and is related to Shanhaiguan or something similar, then Xing Tian will undoubtedly step forward to find Lu Li!

Then I directly chose to defect and become an undercover agent!

That's right! It's decided!

"Brother Tian? Brother Tian?"

Xing Tian snapped out of his daze, his gaze still fixed on the painting inside the glass case, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Someone is observing us. They are all experts at the Qi Integration Realm and the Great Perfection of the Acquired Realm." The blond-haired man's gaze was still sweeping over the various treasures. "They are at the seven o'clock position diagonally behind us, and there are also some at the four o'clock position."

"Why are they targeting us?" Xing Tian didn't turn his head, but he sensed it too.

And it wasn't just one or two people.

There are at least ten people observing them in this museum.

"It seems they've been watching us ever since we entered the 'Juexiangmen Historical Collection' museum," a young man wearing glasses said, adjusting his glasses. "But it probably wasn't targeting us, because they observe everyone who enters this museum."

"However, they mainly focus on martial artists; they seem to only glance at ordinary people and then ignore them."

Xing Tian's spirits lifted. "Looks like there really is something going on."

What they lack most right now is clues.

Unexpectedly, this clue came to us on its own.

"Brother Tian, ​​what do we do now?"

"It's too conspicuous here, let's continue exploring. When we leave, if they really send people over, we'll arrest them all and interrogate them. If any of them are at the Innate Realm, we'll run away first. They probably don't want to make a big fuss, after all, they're just a bunch of rats hiding in the shadows."

This is Xing Tian's analysis.

If the other party is acting suspiciously, they are definitely not an official.

Therefore, even those at the Innate Realm wouldn't dare to escalate the situation.

If you haven't reached the Innate Realm.

If they rely solely on martial arts to fight on the arena, they are indeed no match for those at the Unity of Heaven and Man realm.

However, if they are not in the arena, it is still easy for the Descendants to deal with people who simply practice martial arts.

"it is good."

Having found a clue, the group relaxed.

They continued their tour of the museum.

But as they strolled around, they began to pay attention to the historical artifacts related to the Juexiang Sect.

The Juexiang Sect has a history of many senior masters who ascended to immortality.

The most recent one was a hundred years ago.

But Xing Tian and the others found it awkward no matter how they looked at it.

"Brother Tian, ​​why do all these records of the ascension seniors from the Jue Xiang Sect seem to mention Lu Li, the great master?"

Xing Tian: "...Don't worry about feeling, it's him. I told you before, he is the 'World Traveler'."

He paused, then continued to warn his few remaining companions who still had some humanity, "I've encountered him in previous missions, and you all know my nickname and reputation."

The blond-haired guy scratched his head and grinned foolishly, "I know, I know, Brother Tian, ​​you're called 'the teammate wiper' and 'the lonely hunter' or something like that. Anyway, your reputation isn't very good. Everyone says you're a teammate killer."

"I originally thought that teaming up with you, Brother Tian, ​​would be unlucky, but it seems pretty good now. It feels like we've completed the mission almost without much effort."

This was supposed to be a team battle, and team battles are usually a matter of life and death.

It seems like they didn't do anything and just kept winning until they were almost done with the game.

"Don't be careless. The level of strength in this world is actually quite high, but this kind of orderly world is relatively easy to survive in."

Xing Tian sighed, "The worlds I encountered before, including the ones with Brother Li, were all worlds with seemingly normal but somewhat abnormal order, and their overall power levels might not even be as high as this world."

"But all my companions are dead, so you have to be careful."

He paused for a moment, then began to explain the precautions to his companions: "If you don't want to die, there are two taboos you must not break."

"First, don't do bad things, or you'll die a terrible death."

"Second, don't provoke Brother Li. If he's unhappy, he might not do anything to you, but you'll die a terrible death, and you might not even know how you died."

Xing Tian shrugged. "That's how all my previous teammates died."

Some of them died even though they hadn't provoked Lu Li.

Seeing that everyone else remained silent, Xing Tian was very satisfied.

He glanced one last time at the carved mural—the one depicting Lu Li sitting and discussing Taoism with Lao Tzu in the painting "Lao Tzu Discusses Taoism at the Pass."

Afterwards, Xing Tian turned around and led everyone away from the museum.

The next step is to see if the other party will follow suit.
