Under One Person: Dressed as Lü Liang, with vests all over

Chapter 27 You are very sharp! (Seeking monthly tickets and recommendation tickets)

"Can you cure Lao Tian's leg?"

The old Taoist priest's originally leisurely and relaxed sitting posture suddenly changed. He leaned forward slightly, and stared straight at Lu Liang with scrutiny and inquiry in his squinting eyes.

Lu Liang looked at him calmly and nodded calmly.

"Little guy, you are quite arrogant." The old Taoist priest chuckled twice.

"Old Tian's legs have been crippled for decades. During this time, the Tianshi Temple has contacted many people, and almost all the masters of the Xinglin lineage have come to see him, but they are all helpless."

"Today, even if your master were here, I'm afraid he wouldn't dare say this."

Facing the old Taoist priest's questioning, Lu Liang's expression did not change, and there was still a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Old Heavenly Master, there's a saying that goes 'The disciple surpasses the master.' Just because my master is not good doesn't mean I can't."

"When you were young, weren't you better than many of your elders?"

"There is some truth in this statement." Upon hearing this, the old Taoist priest raised his hand and stroked his beard, nodding in agreement.

However, his gaze quickly turned back to Lu Liang, and there was still scrutiny in his squinting eyes.

He asked bluntly, "Little guy, you haven't even seen Lao Tian's injuries with your own eyes, and you dare to make such a promise?"

Faced with the questioning, Lu Liang shrugged his shoulders with a calm expression.

"Old Heavenly Master, I believe you should already know what happened at the Heavenly Master Bagua Banquet today."

"That thing..."

The old Taoist priest nodded and said, "Rongshan did mention it to me."

"I heard that at the banquet, a friend suffered severe damage to his meridians due to improper Qi circulation. He was in critical condition, but you brought him back to life with ease."

He smiled at Lu Liang and said, "We at Longhu Mountain owe you a favor for this matter."

"Just based on this..."

The old Taoist priest changed the subject and slowly shook his head. Although he hadn't finished speaking, the meaning behind his words was already obvious.

He still didn't believe that Lu Liang could cure Tian Jinzhong.

Lu Liang had anticipated this, so he calmly asked back:
"Old Heavenly Master, you mean Zhang Li's meridians were only damaged, but Elder Tian's meridians were completely destroyed and his limbs were cut off. The difficulty of these two treatments cannot be compared, right?"

"You know a lot about Lao Tian's affairs!"

The old Taoist priest raised his eyebrows slightly, and the two long eyebrows that fell to his cheeks trembled gently a few times. A trace of imperceptible interest flashed in the depths of his eyes.

It was beyond his expectation that this young boy could know such an old story in such detail.

"Since you are so confident, how about I, an old man, give you a try?"

The old Taoist priest raised the corner of his mouth, outlining a faint arc. He flashed his body and moved directly from the bed to in front of Lu Liang.

A height of over 1.9 meters gives people an invisible sense of oppression.

"Don't bother the old master, I'll do it myself!"

Lu Liang spoke out to stop him, and then he took out a small knife from his arms.

The knife was silver all over and its blade was extremely sharp. Under the light in the house, it reflected cold and dazzling rays of light.

The old Taoist priest who saw this scene said: ???

What's going on? Are you going to fight me with a knife?

Before the old Taoist priest could figure out the intention of Lu Liang's action, Lu Liang had already taken action.

He raised the knife and chopped off his left little finger without hesitation.

The sharp blade did not disappoint. With a light "puff" sound, half of the little finger fell to the ground along with blood. The cut was neat and tidy.

"Why is this—"

The old Taoist priest was interrupted by Lu Liang before he could finish his words.

"Old Heavenly Master, please watch carefully."

Lu Liang raised his left hand so that the half-broken finger could be clearly displayed in front of the old Taoist priest.

Blood was still dripping from the broken little finger, which looked a bit creepy.

But the next moment...

A magical scene suddenly appeared.

A stream of red Qi gushed out from the severed finger, and the bones, meridians, muscles... all the tissues at the severed finger began to tremble, growing and healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The broken little finger grew out little by little until it was as good as new, as if it had never been injured.

"The third level of reverse birth?"

The old Taoist frowned and speculated, but immediately shook his head to deny the idea, "Not likely."

……

Seeing that Lu Liang's fingers recovered in the blink of an eye, the old Taoist's eyes gradually became serious.

"How is it? Old Heavenly Master, do you believe it now?"

Lu Liang raised his head slightly, looked at the old Taoist priest calmly, and asked in a resounding voice.

The old Taoist priest didn't answer directly. Instead, he lowered his eyes slightly, a look of deep thought. He slowly walked to the table, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. "Haha, your personality is not very similar to your master's."

The old Taoist priest put down his teacup, looked up at Lu Liang, with a faint smile on his lips, and raised his hand to measure at chest height.

"I still remember the first time I met your master, he was only this tall."

"It seemed to be at Mr. Lu's birthday party. He was short and inconspicuous, and he had little presence among the group of children laughing and playing."

"However, he does have a kind heart. When Old Lu was knocked down, he was the first one to step forward and want to see his injuries. The result was... Hahahaha."

The old Taoist priest started laughing before he finished speaking.

Listening to this story, Lu Liang couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart: The old Taoist priest was deeply impressed by the slap that made Lu Jin cry. After all these years, he still remembers it so clearly...

The old Taoist priest smiled for a while and his gaze fell on Lu Liang again.

"I have known your master for over a hundred years."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze as sharp as a falcon, staring straight at Lu Liang, his tone revealing an undisguised inquiry.

"How come I never knew that Jishiditang had this method to regenerate severed limbs?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room changed.

The originally relaxed atmosphere suddenly took a turn for the worse, and the air was filled with tension and solemnity.

The old Taoist priest's gaze fell directly on Lu Liang's face, and the scrutiny in the depths of his eyes became more intense and heavy, as if he wanted to see through Lu Liang's soul.

The pressure from a strong man weighed heavily on Lu Liang.

Ordinary people would have become weak in the knees and feet, and drenched in cold sweat, and would have been almost unable to withstand such a gaze.

But Lu Liang looked calm and composed, without any sign of panic.

Because he had prepared himself mentally before coming.

The old Taoist priest is not a pedantic and foolish person.

Or, in other words, the old Taoist priest is not the kind of "good guy" in the traditional sense who sticks to dogma and is rigid in his actions.

He has his own way and sticks to it.

He follows his own principles and does not care about the opinions of others. It can be said that the old master is a person of true temperament.

……

Faced with the sudden increase in pressure, Lu Liang stood tall with his feet firmly rooted on the ground, showing no intention of retreating or avoiding.

"Old Heavenly Master, whether it is the method of Jishiditang or not, it is not that important to you."

"As long as we can cure Mr. Tian's leg, does it really matter which method is used?"

"How about I not ask how Elder Tian got injured, and you not ask about my technique?"

After hearing these words, the old Taoist tapped his fingers on the table, making a tapping sound, but he did not express his opinion immediately.

The room fell into a brief silence for a moment, with only the rhythmic sound of knocking on the table ringing.

Seeing this, Lu Liang did not get impatient, but continued: "Old Heavenly Master, you must be very regretful about what happened back then."

"Tian Lao is your junior fellow apprentice. His leg was broken, but he couldn't even get his revenge."

"Now there is a chance of recovery in front of you, do you really want to give up?"

"Haha." The old Taoist priest slowly raised his head and looked at Lu Liang, his eyes narrowed. "If I really want you to treat me, do I need to make a deal with you?"

"You mean to use force? No, you are not that kind of person."

Lu Liang refuted with a firm tone and without hesitation.

This unwavering and firm response startled the old Taoist priest.

"Oh? You know me so well."

The old Taoist priest looked at Lu Liang again with great interest, the scrutiny in his eyes faded a little, replaced by an increasingly strong curiosity.

The little guy who came uninvited and came to his door without any hesitation really gave him a big surprise.

Holding the ultimate power, he should be young and frivolous, impetuous and flamboyant, but he is surprisingly calm and reserved, without the slightest trace of arrogance.

He is worldly-wise and understands people's hearts. His speech is smooth and clear, but his attitude is neither humble nor arrogant. He knows when to advance and retreat, and he handles things just right.

The most important thing is that even though the other party is just a junior, he gives him a sense of transcendence.

It is as if he has transcended the limitations of age and experience, and is looking down on all living beings from a higher dimension.

If it weren't for the youthfulness in the other party's words, he would have suspected which family or sect the person standing in front of him was, an old monster who was hidden and had a deep understanding of the world.

……

The two looked at each other like this for more than half a moment.

The old Taoist priest broke the silence first. He raised his hand and motioned Lu Liang to sit on the chair beside him.

"Tell me, what deal do you want to make with me?"
