Chapter 101: The Death of Lu Ziyun

When Lu Suo went to find Lu Ziyun again, three months had passed. The reason for the long interval was that She Biao secretly turned on the TV to watch Animal World in the middle of the night and saw something he shouldn't have seen. He immediately lost his composure and turned back into his original form, causing the villa to be overcrowded.

Although it was Shebu's fault alone, as a member of the family, Lu Suo was also forced to join the work of rebuilding the villa. By the time the villa was rebuilt, three months had already passed.

It was thought that it would be difficult to find the famous Thunder God Lu Ziyun after three months, but when Lu Suo returned to the village where he had met him before, Lu Ziyun was sitting at the entrance of the village, holding a strangely shaped stick in his hand.

Upon seeing Lu Ziyun, Lu Suo was overjoyed. He quickly stepped forward and sat down beside him. Before he could speak, Lu Ziyun preemptively said:

"You made me wait for three months."

Upon hearing this, Lu Suo was stunned. Looking at Lu Ziyun's extremely serious expression, Lu Suo realized that he regarded him as the only person he could confide in.

[I never imagined... I could become this kind of person.]

Lu Suo smiled, braced himself on the rock beneath him, gazed at the sky, and said seemingly casually:

"How have you been lately?"

"It's alright, about the same as usual."

Lu Ziyun swayed his legs, and even at this moment, he still gripped the stick tightly in his hand, constantly infusing it with lightning spell power.

Lu Suo noticed this and asked curiously:

"What is this?"

"This...?"

Lu Ziyun raised her hand so that Lu Suo could better observe the stick. It was just an ordinary iron rod. If there was anything different about it, it was that the iron rod was as thick as a forearm, so it would definitely hurt a lot if it hit someone.

Lu Ziyun introduced:

"I call it the Ruyi Stick because it is made of metal and can conduct lightning very well, so I store negative charges in it."

When fighting the enemy, you can take the opportunity to connect the Ruyi Staff, the enemy, and yourself in a straight line, so that you can launch a sure-hit attack without injecting negative charge into the enemy's body.

While it's not as effective as directly injecting a negative charge into the enemy's body, its advantage lies in its surprise.

Hearing this, Lu Suo was surprised that Lu Ziyun had revealed his trump card so easily. He stared at Lu Ziyun, who seemed to see through his thoughts and simply said:

"It doesn't matter. In a close battle, such an attack is too easy to detect."

Lu Suo finally breathed a sigh of relief and began chatting with Lu Ziyun about random things. Before they knew it, they were talking about their plans for the future.

Lu Ziyun's opinion on this matter is:

"I stayed here specifically to wait for you. After you leave, I'll probably leave too. I've said it before, I have nothing left but this power."

Upon hearing this, Lu Suo frowned:

"Leave here? Where can you go?"

Lu Ziyun didn't answer the question. Instead, he looked at the flock of birds flying overhead and said something completely out of place:

"Did you know? Birds don't have homes."

Upon hearing this, Lu Suo knew perfectly well that the bird Lu Ziyun was referring to was himself. Birds don't have homes because they have to migrate with the changing climate. He said this to express that he had come to regard challenging the strong as part of his life.

Realizing this might be the last time he saw Lu Ziyun, Lu Suo finally revealed the purpose of his visit:

"Actually, I came to find you not just to chat. What I want to tell you is that I want to make a contract with you so that I can give you a second life sometime after you die."

Lu Suo deliberately avoided saying "resurrection," fearing that Lu Ziyun would react strongly to the word and demand that he resurrect her long-dead childhood sweetheart.

Fortunately, Lu Ziyun had already come to terms with it. He didn't mention Qingmei and readily agreed to Lu Suo's request.

"Since we're about to part ways, I don't have much to give you. Since you want to sign a contract, I agree, as a way of thanking you for listening to my nonsense."

Upon hearing this, Lu Suo was somewhat surprised, yet it also seemed reasonable. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but was interrupted by Lu Ziyun.

he asks:

Do you drink alcohol?

Lu Suo hesitated and shook his head at this abrupt question. It wasn't that he didn't like drinking, but Lu Ziyun didn't look wealthy at all, so the wine she bought was probably cheap and murky.

Having grown accustomed to fine sake, how could Rōsaku possibly drink cloudy sake? To avoid such an awkward situation, he simply refused outright.

"That's great, actually I don't like drinking either." Lu Ziyun smiled, as if she had won a victory.

Lu Suo was puzzled by this:

"Since you don't drink, why are you asking me if I do?"

Lu Ziyun was a little embarrassed:

"In those stories, I always see samurai drinking before parting, as it shows their heroism and longing. But nowadays, the way of the samurai has declined, and drinking has only harmed the body."

Lu Su frowned slightly:

"Then why did you ask me to drink?"

Lu Ziyun smiled but didn't say anything.

The two began to enjoy a moment of peace. Before the sun set, Lu Ziyun was the first to get up. He dusted himself off and said to Chonglu Suo:

"Alright, last time I saw you leave, this time you see me leave. Goodbye, and don't forget our promise."

The agreement here naturally refers to Lu Ziyun's death, after which Lu Suo would turn his corpse into a cursed object so that he could be resurrected in the future; it could also be simply called collecting the corpse.

Lu Suo nodded, waved to Lu Ziyun, and then turned around with satisfaction, heading towards the mountains and forests where the sun had set.

The thin figure walked further and further away, its shadow growing longer and longer. For some reason, when Lu Suo looked at Lu Ziyun's back, it was as if he were looking at a walking corpse.

Lu Suo thought: Perhaps the real Lu Ziyunyi had already died along with the person she cherished, and what is alive now is just an obsession called Lu Ziyunyi.

Lu Suo didn't dwell on it. He shook his head, and once Lu Ziyun's figure had completely disappeared from his sight, he stood up from the rock, dusted himself off, and headed home.

After that, Lu Suo could still hear legends about "Thor". Since that separation, Lu Ziyun had completely given himself to the obsession in his heart. He kept challenging the strong. The once naive boy became obsessive and proud in battle after battle. It seemed that only fighting could give his life value.

In the end, Lu Ziyun died. He was not killed by his enemies, but by the passage of time. Before his death, he was still recognized as the strongest sorcerer in the Edo period. But after his death, someone cut his body in half and said: "The Thunder God is nothing more than this."

Lu Suo retrieved Lu Ziyun's body and turned it into a cursed object. His life did not change much because of this. He had seen far more than just Lu Ziyun. He had seen and known too many people. If he had to grieve every time someone died, Lu Suo would probably live in sorrow every day.

As Lu Ziyun once said, it is meaningless to weep for the dead...
