Searching for the best path, starting from Renjia Town

Chapter 32 Wen Wu is the first and Wu Wu is the second
"rise!"

With a light shout, the peach wood sword with the puppet talisman attached to it rose up and hovered in front of him.

"go with!"

Li Kunshan's expression was serious. He quickly changed his hand gestures and shouted again.

Phew~!

With the sound of breaking through the air, the peach wood sword flew out like an arrow.

Next, under Li Kunshan's control, it flew up and down in the air, leaving behind traces.

After doing this for a while, Li Kunshan controlled the peach wood sword to fly back and land steadily on the table.

After taking off the puppet talisman, Li Kunshan stepped forward from the table and saluted Master Xuanyi.

"Disciple has finished his demonstration. Please give your comments, Master."

"Although it's just controlling an object, it's already very proficient."

Master Xuanyi smiled and nodded.

"Thank you, Master."

Li Kunshan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, bowed again and retreated.

Seeing Li Kunshan coming back, Shi Jian and his gang all had gloomy expressions.

Three days ago, during the Kung Fu test, Li Kunshan defeated everyone else with a set of Songxi Tai Chi and was named the champion.

In order to save face, Shi Jian suggested another Taoist competition.

Unexpectedly, Li Kunshan, who had only been learning for two years, could use the puppet talisman so skillfully.

Although it is not as outstanding as his kung fu, it is still a top choice.

Sure enough, after everyone had finished their presentations, Master Xuanyi ranked them in order, and Li Kunshan was once again listed as top.

"This time, Shi Shaojian is the best at using talismans."

Finally, Master Xuanyi said one more sentence.

After hearing this, Shi Jian's expression eased slightly.

Then he looked at Li Kunshan and frowned again.

In the two rounds of assessment, Li Kunshan and Shi Shaojian were both top-notch and both won first place. Doesn't this mean that they are tied?
"It's a tie."

"In the past, it was the eldest brother and the ninth brother who competed for supremacy. Now, in the 36th generation, they are their disciples again. It's really interesting."

"Who says it isn't? Hey, now there's something interesting to watch."

Seeing this result, there was a burst of discussion among the crowd.

There are nearly thirty disciples of the 35th generation of Maoshan, but only a few of them are good friends with Shi Jian or Uncle Jiu. The rest of them look at Shi Jian and Uncle Jiu with amusement.

Uncle Jiu had a blank expression on his face, and Shi Jian's face was indeed gloomy.

"Throughout history, there has been no first in literature and no second in martial arts!"

Shi Jian shouted coldly, stood up immediately, glanced at everyone with a serious look, and then turned to Master Xuanyi.

"Master, we have to decide who's better between Shi Shaojian and Li Kunshan!"

"Why are you so serious?"

Master Xuanyi scratched his forehead lightly with his index finger, feeling a little troubled.

Originally, he didn't want to damage the harmony among his fellow disciples, so he deliberately pointed out Shi Shaojian as the first.

But Shi Jian refused to appreciate it and insisted on competing with him.

Master Xuanyi secretly groaned. He was already over a hundred years old, and he still had to sit here and watch these youngsters perform. It was not easy for him to watch them for two days, and Shi Jian actually asked him to watch it again.

Moreover, both Kung Fu and Taoism have been tested, so there is nothing to compare.

"Then let them fight."

There was also a discussion among the people below. Wencai stood behind Uncle Jiu and said something to Qiu Sheng and the others with a smile.

"Yes!"

Xuanyi Zhenren, who was in a dilemma, suddenly had his eyes brightened. This is a good idea.

Seeing Wencai nod slightly, he thought that although Laojiu, this disciple, was not very good at anything, he had a good brain.

Then he would speak up and just have a fight with Li Kunshan and Shi Shaojian.

"No!"

Wencai came up with a bad idea, and Master Xuanyi actually wanted to listen to it. Shi Jian's face changed instantly and he spoke quickly.

What a joke! Li Kunshan had already established his foundation, and his Tai Chi was no worse than those great Taoist priests from Wudang Mountain. Shi Shaojian, while having mastered the Dragon Form Fist to a considerable degree, was probably no match for him. Furthermore, Shi Jian's divine eyes allowed him to clearly see Li Kunshan's form even through his clothes. His muscles were strong, and immense power was hidden within them!

As the saying goes, strength can defeat skill. If the two of them were to fight, Li Kunshan could kill Shi Shaojian based on his physical strength alone!
As for Taoism, although Shi Shaojian won first place with talismans, it was still superficial after all. When it came to the real fight, he had no time to care about it.

"We are all from the same sect, how can we fight each other! We are Taoists, not street thugs!"

Shi Jian snorted coldly and glared at Wencai fiercely.

Wencai was timid by nature, so he shrank his neck and dared not say anything more.

"This……"

Master Xuanyi blinked his eyes and was in trouble again. His disciple had finally come up with a good idea, but before he could nod, Shi Jian rejected it first.

Regardless of whether what Shi Jian said was reasonable or not, it was not easy for him to deny the face of this eldest disciple in public.

"Master."

At this time, Zheng Zibu, who was serving nearby, spoke.

"Why not let my disciples lead them in another match?"

"you?"

"Some time ago, a group of wandering ghosts roamed the dead woods of Black Stone Ridge. Although Black Stone Ridge is not part of Maoshan's territory, it is not far away after all. If we ignore it, it will damage our Maoshan's reputation."

Zheng Zibu spoke and continued.

"I've been wanting to take them in for a long time, but I just haven't found the time. So this time, I'll let you lead them over. First, we'll catch the ghosts, and second, we'll determine who's better based on their performance."

Catch ghosts?

Upon hearing this, all the disciples, whether from the 35th generation or the younger generation, were stunned.

This is no joke.

"it is good!"

Everyone was still hesitating, but Master Xuanyi nodded immediately.

No matter what they compete for or how they compete, the old man is tired, and as long as he doesn't have to work, it's fine.

I was afraid that something would happen again, so I quickly made the decision.

"Yes."

Since Master Xuanyi has already agreed, what else can others say? They can only obey his orders.

Then, Zheng Zibu looked at everyone and spoke directly.

"Those who are rated as superior in both the first and second rounds will follow me down the mountain to hunt ghosts in three days."

"We're going too!"

I originally thought that it was just Li Kunshan and Shi Shaojian competing to see who was better, but I didn't expect Zheng Zibu to bring other people along as well.

Qiu Sheng opened his eyes wide, looking reluctant, but since his junior master uncle said so, he didn't dare to object.

Twenty-seven people were rated as superior in the first round, thirty-three in the second round, and a total of thirteen people were included in the list.

After the decision was made, everyone dispersed and went back to prepare.

"Although your junior uncle is young, he has always been by the side of our great master and has profound Taoist skills. This time, when you go with us to catch ghosts, you must observe, ask, and learn more. Don't waste this good opportunity."

After returning to his residence, Uncle Jiu solemnly gave instructions to Li Kunshan and Qiu Sheng.

Then he opened the bundle, took out several magical instruments and handed them to the two men.

After all, you are facing a fierce ghost, so you must have something to protect yourself.

"That's almost it."

Looking at his two apprentices, Uncle Jiu nodded slightly.

At the same time, in Shi Jian's room.

A bunch of magical instruments were handed over to Shi Shaojian, almost armed to the teeth. Just based on the power of these magical instruments, not to mention ordinary little ghosts, even the ghost king would have to retreat!
Still worried, Shi Jian personally drew five amulets and placed them on various parts of Shi Shaojian's body.

With the power of these five amulets, ordinary little ghosts would be reduced to ashes even if they even get close to him, not to mention harming him!
"remember!"

Only then was he satisfied. Shi Jian looked at Shi Shaojian with a serious expression.

"I must defeat Lao Jiu's apprentice!"

"Master, don't worry!"

Shi Shaojian looked confident and sneered again.

"If I can't defeat him with this, I might as well just find a manure pit and drown myself!"
