Fox Demon: Starts with Lu Zu template

He was confident that he could pass the examination that Lin Chen mentioned.

Chapter 19 Old Friends and Acquaintances

In the days that followed, Lin Chen took Zhang Sanfeng to travel around the world. Along the way, they crossed mountains and rivers, walked through prosperous towns, and set foot in desolate villages.

Zhang Sanfeng was full of curiosity about everything, while Lin Chen silently observed the young man, and his evaluation of him gradually improved.

Kind-hearted and innocent, but not too kind.

That is to say, he is a standard male protagonist in novels, with a conscience but not a saint.

One night, the two rested in a small temple in the mountains.

By the campfire, Zhang Sanfeng finally plucked up the courage to tell Lin Chen about his life story.

"Master, actually I am an orphan." Zhang Sanfeng said in a low voice, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Lin Chen did not interrupt him, but just listened quietly.

"I was born without parents and lived by wandering. One day, I met a rabbit demon in the mountains.

It didn't hurt me, but became my friend.

We played together, searched for food together, and those were the happiest times of my life." Zhang Sanfeng's voice gradually deepened.

"But one day, we were discovered by passing disciples of the Yiqi Dao League, and the rabbit demon was captured. I tried desperately to save it, but..." Zhang Sanfeng's voice choked, "I was injured, and the rabbit demon died in front of me."

Lin Chen's eyes moved slightly.

In this era, the relationship between humans and demons is as tense as fire and water.

After the riot in Beishan Yuyao Kingdom, this relationship will become even more chaotic.

"From then on, I vowed to let humans and demons live in peace. I don't want to see innocent lives die because of racial hatred." Zhang Sanfeng raised his head, a determined light flashing in his eyes.

Lin Chen nodded and said calmly: "Where there is a will, there is a way. I believe you will succeed in the future."

After hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng quickly said, "Of course, Master, I will definitely succeed!"

Lin Chen raised his hand and tapped him lightly: "I've already told you, I'm not your master yet."

Zhang Sanfeng touched his head and chuckled, but in his heart he respected Lin Chen even more.

As time went by, Lin Chen discovered that Zhang Sanfeng was extremely talented, especially his sword bones. He was simply a genius in sword practice.

Lin Chen began to teach him some basic sword techniques intentionally or unintentionally, and Zhang Sanfeng also learned very quickly.

One day, the two came to a dense forest.

Lin Chen grabbed a wild rabbit, cleaned it, and roasted it over the fire.

Zhang Sanfeng sat aside, looking at the rabbit with an expression of pity on his face.

"Master, why did you kill the rabbit? The rabbit is so cute... and didn't we say we should protect monsters?" Zhang Sanfeng couldn't help but say.

Lin Chen glanced at him, raised his hand and tapped him again: "I've already said that I'm not your master yet.

Also, do you want to eat it? If not, I’ll eat it myself.”

Zhang Sanfeng rubbed his head and muttered, "Just eat, why do you always hit me..."

Lin Chen smiled, tore off a piece of rabbit meat and handed it to him.

Zhang Sanfeng took the meat. Although he felt a little reluctant, his stomach started to growl.

He took a bite and his eyes lit up: "It smells so good!"

Lin Chen couldn't help but smile when he saw his appearance.

Although this young man has great ambitions, he is still a child after all.

In the following days, Lin Chen began to formally teach Zhang Sanfeng swordsmanship.

He started with the most basic sword moves and guided Zhang Sanfeng step by step to understand the true meaning of swordsmanship.

Zhang Sanfeng's talent was indeed extraordinary. In just a few months, his swordsmanship had made great progress.

One evening, the two were practicing swordsmanship in a valley.

Zhang Sanfeng held a wooden sword and carefully practiced the sword moves taught to him by Lin Chen.

Lin Chen stood aside with a hint of approval in his eyes.

"Yes, you are making rapid progress." Lin Chen said lightly.

Zhang Sanfeng put away his wooden sword, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile: "It's all thanks to my good teaching!"

Lin Chen shook his head: "As for the practice of swordsmanship, I can only give you some pointers from the side, but the real understanding still depends on you.

Also, I'm not your master yet. Let's talk about it when you pass my assessment."

Zhang Sanfeng nodded, a hint of thought flashing in his eyes.

He suddenly asked, "Then Master, when can I pass the examination?"

Lin Chen was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "That depends on your performance. If you perform well, you might become my disciple tomorrow."

Zhang Sanfeng nodded, not quite understanding.

Lin Chen and Zhang Sanfeng continued to practice in the valley, and time passed quietly.

Zhang Sanfeng's swordsmanship improved day by day. Lin Chen saw it and felt quite relieved.

However, Zhang Sanfeng always had a question in his mind, that is, how strong is Lin Chen's swordsmanship.

One day, Zhang Sanfeng finally couldn't help but ask, "Master, how strong is your swordsmanship? I always feel that your swordsmanship is unfathomable, as if every move and every form contains infinite power."

Lin Chen smiled slightly, his eyes as deep as the starry sky.

As expected of a sword-like body, with Lin Chen's current realm and strength, he has already reached the point of returning to nature.

He slowly said, "Now that things have come to this, I won't hide it from you anymore. I am actually Lü Zu, Lü Dongxuan!"

Zhang Sanfeng was speechless after hearing this. In fact, he had been speculating in his mind that Lin Chen might be a reclusive master, or even a legendary powerful person.

But after hearing the other party's words, Zhang Sanfeng shook his head.

"Master, please stop teasing me. How can you be Lü Zu?"

When Lin Chen heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled and said, "Oh? Then why do you think I wouldn't be Lu Zu?"

Zhang Sanfeng scratched his head and said, "Actually, I've met Lü Zu before."

Lin Chen smiled and did not answer directly.

But he kept searching for memories of the other person in his heart, but Lin Chen had just returned to the circle not long ago, so how could he know the other person.

Before that, I had been staying at the border, so it was impossible for the two of us to meet.

Zhang Sanfeng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I met Lu Zu once when I was a child. He looked different from you...so..."

Lin Chen laughed and patted Zhang Sanfeng on the shoulder: "Believe it or not, it's up to you. But one day you will know."

Although Zhang Sanfeng was confused, he stopped asking when he saw that Lin Chen was unwilling to say more.

He thought to himself that perhaps his master was just testing him. He just needed to practice hard and one day he would understand everything.

Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Sanfeng's swordsmanship has made a qualitative leap, and Lin Chen is quite satisfied with his performance.

On this day, Lin Chen brought Zhang Sanfeng to Wang Quan's house.

"Master, what are we doing here?" Zhang Sanfeng asked curiously.

Lin Chen smiled slightly: "Today I will take you to meet some old friends."

Chapter 20 The Leader of the Young Generation

At this time, in a courtyard of Wang Quan's house, Wang Quan Wumu was instructing a young man to practice sword.

He was holding a little girl in his arms.

The young man's swordsmanship was sharp and his momentum was extraordinary.

Wang Quan Wumu, who was instructing the other party on the side, seemed to have sensed something and suddenly looked up at the sky.

At this moment, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in the sky, and then a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe fell from the sky. It was Lei Daoren Wen Dao.

Wang Quan Wumu was surprised to see this and asked, "Brother Wen, why are you here?"

Wen Dao smiled slightly and said, "I had some inspiration while practicing last night, so I came here today to see an old friend."

"Old friend? Didn't we just meet last month?" Wang Quan Wumu was confused and was about to ask again.

Before Wang Quan Wumu could express his doubts, Lei Daoren waved his hand and said, "It's not you, it's him."

Taoist Lei looked at the servant who was running towards him.

As soon as the other party entered the yard, he immediately clasped his fists and said to Wang Quan Wumu, "Master, there is a middle-aged man with a child outside who wants to see you."

Hearing this, Wang Quan Wumu felt a little confused. "Did the other party say his name?"

The servant seemed to have thought of something and quickly said, "The other party said his surname was Lu and he was an old friend of yours. There was nothing else."

After hearing this, Wang Quan Wumu felt like his brain was about to crash.

The surname is Lu, and it’s an old acquaintance. Wang Quan Wumu immediately thought of Lin Chen.

"Where is the man?"

"Right outside the door."

After saying that, Wang Quan Wumu didn't care about anything else and jumped towards the gate.

Seeing this, Taoist Lei smiled silently and then followed the other party.

Wang Quan Wumu and others soon arrived at the gate, and as soon as they came out, they saw the figures of an old man and a young boy.

When I got closer, I saw that it was Lin Chen and Zhang Sanfeng.

Although the other person was already old, Wang Quan Wumu still recognized him at a glance.

He quickly walked forward and hugged the other person.

Lin Chen was also confused by Wang Quan Wumu's action.

"Wu Mu, what are you doing?"

"Brother Lu, long time no see, I missed you so much."

Lin Chen didn't expect that after so many years, the other party's personality was still like a child.

At this time, Lin Chen also noticed Wen Dao behind the other person.

Patting Wang Quan Wumu's shoulder, he said, "Okay, there are still people here. They are already old..."

After hearing this, Wang Quan Wumu let go of Lin Chen.

Lin Chen then bowed to Wen Dao and said, "Long time no see, Brother Wen."

But what Lin Chen didn't expect was that the other party also followed Wang Quan Wumu's example and hugged Lin Chen.

I really can’t do it for Lin Chen.

Then Wang Quan Wumu invited a few people to come inside and chat slowly.

Arriving at the main hall, Wang Quan Wumu ordered his servants to prepare tea and snacks, and the few people sat down as host and guest.

After Lin Chen sat down, Zhang Sanfeng stood obediently behind him, looking around curiously.

My head is still confused now.

Just now, he heard with his own ears the head of the Wang Quan family calling Lin Chen "Brother Lu".

In other words, Lin Chen is really Lu Dongxuan!

Wang Quan Wumu's gaze fell on Lin Chen from time to time, his eyes full of emotion and joy.

"Brother Lu, where have you been all these years? Why haven't you heard from me at all?

Brother Wen and I have been searching for you for so many years!" Wang Quan Wumu couldn't help but ask.

Wen Dao, who was standing by, also said, "Yes, in order to find you, Wu Mu even became the leader of the Yiqi Dao League and ordered all the disciples of the Dao League to look for you.
