Under One Person: Sincerity Moves the Gods

Chapter 84 The Zhuge Family Head's Demands

Upon hearing Zhuge Yunhui's words...

Lu Jin and Li Muxuan's eyes lit up immediately, filled with anticipation.

Li Cunzhen knew he was right, so he didn't pretend to be modest and nodded with a smile.

"If I hadn't been on my way to Zhuge Village and hadn't passed through this place, I probably wouldn't have had this opportunity. Thank you, Young Master Yunhui!"

""

Upon hearing this, all three burst into laughter.

Afterwards, the four chatted for a while, talking about the delicious food, beautiful scenery, and local customs of their respective hometowns.

Although Zhuge Village is located in Zhejiang, the headquarters of the Wuhou School is in Shu. Zhuge Yunhui described the hot pot, noodles and other local delicacies in vivid detail, making Lu Jin's mouth water.

Then the sounds gradually faded, and everyone fell into a deep sleep.

Nothing happened that night.

The next morning.

The group mounted their horses and set off again.

This time, we didn't encounter any more mountain spirits or other monsters.

Several days later, they arrived safely at Zhuge Village.

Li Cunzhen's gaze passed through the simple yet grand village entrance gate.

Several bluestone-paved roads run through the entire Zhuge Village.

Several bluestone paths divide the village into several sections, inside which are low bungalows, with wisps of smoke occasionally rising from the rooftops.

The roads and bungalows intersect, forming a Bagua (Eight Trigrams) pattern.

The central area is the training ground for Zhuge Village.

The entire basalt field is engraved with a huge Bagua pattern, with the directions Qian, Kan, Gen, and Zhen clearly defined.

At the edge of the training ground, plum blossom stakes stand in rows.

On the high stakes, a figure rose and fell, his steps light as if stepping on a hexagram.

In addition, there are training grounds for practices such as hammering and rib-slapping.

Upon seeing these items, Lu Jin and Li Muxuan couldn't help but cast questioning glances at Zhuge Yunhui.

Why do you, a family of sorcerers, still practice these things?

Seeing this, Zhuge Yunhui scratched his head.

"Don't look at me, I don't know why we need to cultivate these things either, but there must be a reason for what our ancestors left behind."

As he spoke, he strode forward, leading the three into Zhuge Village.

Soon, the four of them stepped into the main hall of the Zhuge family.

"Village chief, I'm back!"

As soon as he entered the room, Zhuge Yunhui smiled and waved to an elderly man with white hair and beard who had a Taoist air about him.

The man, dressed in a gray robe, was named Zhuge Shu and was the current head of the Zhuge family.

Upon hearing Zhuge Yunhui's voice, he looked up and smiled kindly.

"Yunhui is back. Yunlan and the others have already told me about the matter of turning the world upside down and manipulating the territory."

97

Zhuge Yunlan is the eldest son of the Zhuge generation.

Although Zhuge Yunhui, the fifth son, is only sixteen years old, Zhuge Yunlan is already over forty.

This time, the Lu family's birthday banquet was led by Zhuge Yunlan.

After the donation ceremony was over, Zhuge Yunlan led the others back to the village ahead of time, in order to inform the village chief about Li Cunzhen in advance so that preparations could be made in advance.

Then, the head of the Zhuge family looked at Li Cunzhen and his group.

"These three must be Master Zuo's esteemed disciples, including Immortal Daying... I originally intended to visit him at the Lu family's birthday banquet."

"It's a pity... I'm too old to walk anymore."

Upon hearing this, Li Cunzhen stepped forward, cupped his hands, and smiled.

"Don't mention it, senior. You seem to be in excellent health, with more energy than I am!"

"My master also often thinks about the old man, and he asked me to pass on a message this time."

"They said that Junior Brother Zhuge Jin performed very well, and asked me to thank you on his behalf for bringing such an outstanding disciple to the Sanyi Sect."

He was telling the truth. That Zhuge Jin was originally from a collateral branch of the Zhuge family. After learning the family's skills, he became a disciple of the Sanyi Sect.

It now combines the secret techniques of Wuhou Qimen and the Threefold Reversal of Life.

His talent is undeniable.

He was one of the disciples in the Sanyi Sect, second only to Lu Jin and Li Muxuan.

When the head of the Zhuge family heard Li Cunzhen say that he was full of energy and spirit, he didn't react much, but when he heard that Zhuge Jin had performed well, he couldn't help but smile.

"Hehe... Great, I knew Jin'er could do it."

Then he added.

"However, he still can't compare to Master Li. His battle with Master Zhang of the Celestial Master's Mansion was earth-shattering and has probably spread throughout the country."

Li Cunzhen smiled but did not reply.

The head of the Zhuge family didn't mind, and instead brought up the important matter of Li Cunzhen's visit to Zhuge Village.

His already half-closed eyes narrowed even more, making it almost impossible to tell whether he was open or not, leaving only a tiny slit.

But the sharp glint in the eyes of the Zhuge family head shone through the tiny gap, almost seeing right through Li Cunzhen.

After a while, he seemed to have figured something out and nodded.

"Master Li wants the Wuhou Qimen, and you are a top disciple of the Sanyi School, so I shouldn't have any other thoughts about it."

"But... it's something passed down from our ancestors, so I can't help but be careful."

"Therefore, I need you to fulfill one condition."

Li Cunzhen's expression remained unchanged.

Since the Zhuge family summoned him to their home instead of directly imparting their knowledge, it was inappropriate for them to do so.

There must be a desire to test oneself before imparting knowledge.

He remained silent, waiting for the Zhuge family head to give the assessment requirements.

At this moment, Zhuge Yunlan, with a buzz cut, walked in from outside the door, holding a yellowed booklet in her hand.

He walked up to the head of the Zhuge family, bowed, and placed the booklet in his hand on the table in front of the old man.

"Village chief, your things have been brought."

A gentle breeze blew by, causing the open booklet to close, revealing four large characters on the cover.

The Divine Gate of Wuhou.

Afterwards, the head of the Zhuge family looked at the booklet and handed it to Zhuge Yunlan.

Zhuge Yunlan was taken aback, and then heard the Zhuge family head continue to look at Li Cunzhen.

He pointed to the Wuhou Qimen and said.

"As you've seen, the Martial Marquis's Qimen technique is on Yunlan. Within three months, you have three opportunities to seize it from him."

.

"If you manage to grab it, it's yours."

Li Cunzhen's lips twitched upon hearing this.

I couldn't help but wonder, are all warlocks like this?

But despite the complaints, we still have to get down to business.

He asked again.

"What are the conditions? It can't be that you can just steal it however you want, right?"

The Zhuge family has seen him take action before.

To put it bluntly, even though Zhuge Yunlan is over forty years old, he would be no match for him in a real fight.

If it's unconditional robbery, what's the difference between that and giving it away for free?!

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the head of the Zhuge family immediately spoke up.

"Of course there are conditions, otherwise Yunlan would probably have suffered a beating."

As he spoke, he held up three fingers.

"I have three conditions."

"First, we cannot use any methods other than Qimen Dunjia. I heard from Yunlan that Yunhui taught you some ordinary Qimen techniques. During the struggle, I had to ask you to use this method."

"Second, you must not harm Yunlan, but if Yunlan hurts you, please bear the consequences yourself, Daoist."

"Third, you cannot ask for any help. You must do it all by yourself. Your two junior brothers are not allowed either."

At this point, the head of the Zhuge family paused, then continued.

"Of course, although it was Master Li who first proposed the Wuhou Qimen, to be honest, my Zhuge family also wants to reverse the eight directions."

"Ultimately, our relationship is a transaction, so I shouldn't be making things difficult for you like this."

"But...every family has its own problems."

"Don't worry, if Master Li really succeeds, he will gain much more than just the Wuhou Qimen."
