Fox Demon: Starts with Lu Zu template

Li Chungang felt a little weird in his heart - after all, he was bowing to himself and also to his apprentice, which was really awkward.

After bowing three times, Zhang Fuyao led the three people into the hall.

As he stepped into the hall, he looked up at the stele of Sanfeng Zhenren, and couldn't help feeling a lot of emotions in his heart.

When he left, he had not said goodbye to her properly. Now, when they meet again, it has been five hundred years, and they are separated forever.

Wang Quan Shouzhuo looked at Lu Zu's stele in shock, and couldn't help but take a step forward to take a closer look.

Zhang Fuyao reached out to stop him and said calmly, "Young Master Wang Quan, you must be respectful in front of the spirit tablet."

Wang Quan Shouzhuo quickly retracted his steps and stood aside respectfully.

"Sorry, I lost my composure just now..."

Zhang Fuyao took three incense sticks from the incense table beside him, handed them to the three people, and said, "Three of you, please light some incense."

The three of them took the incense and inserted it into the incense burner.

Li Chungang looked at Zhang Sanfeng's spirit tablet and said silently in his heart: "Sanfeng, I didn't say goodbye to you properly back then, but today I will make up for it."

After burning incense, Zhang Fuyao took the three of them out of the hall and walked towards the depths of Wudang Mountain.

Along the way, Wang Quan Shouzhuo couldn't help but ask, "Master Zhang, the Wudang Sect is so small now, why don't you come out again and recruit disciples?

With the Wudang Sect's profound heritage, if it were to be released, it would surely attract countless talented people."

Zhang Fuyao sighed upon hearing this and said, "Young Master Wang Quan, you may not know that the Wudang Sect has always upheld the philosophy of 'purity and inaction' since its founding by Immortal Sanfeng.

We do not pursue the expansion of our sect, but focus on the practice of kendo.

Moreover, Wudang Mountain is located in a remote area, so it is understandable that there are few disciples."

Wang Quan nodded politely, but he didn't care in his heart.

Although Wudang is located in Tushan, as long as it opens its doors to recruit disciples, there are still many people who want to come.

In his opinion, if the sect wants to be passed down, it must continue to absorb fresh blood.

Li Chungang followed silently behind, his eyes occasionally scanning the surrounding scenery.

The scenery of Wudang Mountain is indeed beautiful, with clouds and mist shrouded in the mountains, like a fairyland.

However, such scenery can only be found in Tushan.

He thought to himself, "Zhang Sanfeng, this kid, has found a good place."

The four of them walked forward and soon came to the edge of a cliff.

Below the cliff is a deep valley shrouded in clouds and mist, through which several ancient buildings can be vaguely seen.

Zhang Fuyao pointed at the building and said, "That is the forbidden area of ​​our Wudang Sect. Only the past and present leaders can enter."

Chapter 34 Goodbye Zhang Sanfeng

When Wang Quan Shouzhu heard this, a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes, but he didn't ask any further questions.

Li Chungang's eyes narrowed as he thought to himself, "Forbidden area? Could there be some secret hidden there?"

Zhang Fuyao seemed to see through Li Chungang's thoughts, smiled slightly, and said: "Little friend Li, don't think too much, there is no earth-shattering secret in the forbidden area.

It's just some swordsmanship insights left by Sanfeng Zhenren. Of course, this is also the reason why I brought the three of you here."

"My sect's founder, Sanfeng, once issued an order that anyone who could break through the Zhenwu Seven-Section Formation could enter this forbidden area to comprehend the Dao of Sword for half a month."

Upon hearing this, Wang Quan Shouzhuo and Xiaofei were both shocked and realized the swordsmanship experience of Master Sanfeng.

Among them, Wang Quan Shouzhuo understood better than anyone else how rare it was to have this understanding of the way of the sword, not to mention the understanding of the way of the sword by Master Sanfeng.

After slashing out the sword of heaven and earth, he comprehended the sword intent of King Power from the sword of King Power, so he seemed a little excited.

On the contrary, Li Chungang seemed a little too indifferent. After all, this so-called swordsmanship understanding was just that in his eyes.

Zhang Fuyao took in the expressions on the three people's faces one by one. "Today, the three of you will stay in my Wudang Sect for one night. It won't be too late to go in tomorrow."

After all, it was someone else's territory, so the three of them naturally had no objections.

The four of them continued to explore the mountains until it was getting dark.

Zhang Fuyao then brought the three of them back to the main hall.

He arranged for the three of them to stay and said, "You three have worked hard today, go to bed early."

Wang Quan Shouzhuo hurriedly thanked him, and Li Chungang nodded lightly.

After Zhang Fuyao left, Wang Quan Shouzhuo couldn't help but say to Li Chungang, "Brother Li, I didn't mean to hide this from you before..."

Li Chungang smiled slightly and said, "It's okay. Traveling around the martial arts world without revealing your real name is just in case."

Wang Quan nodded and said, "Then Brother Li, you too...?"

Li Chungang said calmly, "My name is Li Chungang, absolutely."

"Then I wonder what is the relationship between Brother Li and the Taoyuan Li family of the Taoist Alliance?"

Li Chungang glanced at him and said with a smile, "You will know who I am in the future."

There was no direct answer.

Wang Quan Shouzhuo saw that he was unwilling to say more, so he had to give up.

The three of them went back to their rooms to rest, and there was no conversation all night.

The next morning, Zhang Fuyao came to the residence of the three people early and invited them to have breakfast together.

After the meal, Li Chungang, Wang Quanshouzhuo and Xiaofei followed Zhang Fuyao to the entrance of the Wudang forbidden area.

Zhang Fuyao stood in front of the forbidden area with a solemn expression, and said slowly: "My three friends, this is the forbidden area of ​​our Wudang Sect. The sword insights of the past leaders are all left here.

You can meditate here for half a month. Whether you can gain anything from it depends entirely on your personal talent and understanding."

After saying that, Zhang Fuyao turned and left, leaving the three of them standing in front of the forbidden area's gate.

Wang Quan Shouzhuo took a deep breath, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes. He turned to Li Chungang and Xiaofei and said, "Brother Li, let's each find a stone tablet to meditate on. Time is precious and should not be wasted."

Li Chungang looked indifferent and nodded slightly in response.

The three of them then separated. Wang Quan Shouzhuo and Xiaofei quickly found a stone tablet, sat down cross-legged, and began to comprehend the sword intent on the stone tablet.

Li Chungang was not as eager to comprehend as they were. Instead, he walked slowly in the forbidden area, his eyes scanning the stone tablets around him.

These stone tablets are covered with sword marks of varying depths, each of which contains a unique sword meaning, as if telling the sword-fighting experience of successive Wudang masters.

Li Chungang walked all the way to the depths of the forbidden area. The further he went, the more fierce the sword intent on the stone tablet became.

Finally, he found a stone tablet full of cracks in the deepest part of the forbidden area.

Although the surface of the stone tablet was covered with cracks and seemed like it would collapse at any time, the sword intent emanating from the stone tablet was extremely terrifying, as if it could tear the heaven and earth apart.

Li Chungang approached the stone tablet and carefully examined the sword marks on it. He thought to himself, "This sword intent... is indeed left by that brat."

Just as he approached the stone tablet, it suddenly vibrated slightly, and then a blue light flew out from the crack in the stone tablet and headed straight for Li Chungang's eyebrows.

Li Chungang only felt a flash before his eyes, and then he felt dizzy. When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was no longer in the forbidden area, but in a mysterious space.

This space is boundless, with a faint mist all around. There is nothingness under your feet, as if you are stepping on clouds.

Li Chungang was shocked and confused when he suddenly felt a familiar breath behind him.

He turned around suddenly and saw a person standing not far away.

The man was wearing a Taoist robe, his hair and beard were all white, his face was kind, but his eyes were bright and he exuded a sharp sword intent.

Li Chungang recognized the other person's identity at a glance - Zhang Sanfeng.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and the atmosphere was a little weird.

Li Chungang's mind was full of thoughts, but in the end, he was the first to speak and asked tentatively: "Senior, are you...?"

Zhang Sanfeng remained silent for a long time, his eyes full of vicissitudes and complexity.

He spoke slowly, his voice low and hoarse: "My eyes tell me that you are not him, but my heart tells me that you are him."

Li Chungang was shocked, but his expression remained calm. He only frowned slightly and asked in a puzzled manner, "Senior, what do you mean by this?"

Zhang Sanfeng did not answer, but suddenly flashed and appeared in front of Li Chungang in an instant, staring at him with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see through him.

Li Chungang felt the other person's gaze, and his heart tightened. Countless excuses flashed through his mind, but under Zhang Sanfeng's gaze, all the excuses seemed pale and powerless.

Just as Li Chungang was about to open his mouth to explain, Zhang Sanfeng suddenly laughed. The seriousness on his face was swept away, replaced by a playful expression: "Hahaha, just kidding! How could you be that old man?"

Li Chungang was stunned for a moment, then he smiled awkwardly, but felt relieved in his heart.

However, Zhang Sanfeng's laughter stopped abruptly, and his expression became serious again, as if the laughter just now had never happened.

"I am Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang." Zhang Sanfeng said slowly, a hint of scrutiny in his tone, "I don't sense the aura of my Wudang skills from you, young friend. I guess you are not a descendant of my Wudang sect, right?"

Li Chungang nodded and briefly recounted the whole story, including how he broke the Zhenwu Seven-Section Formation and how Zhang Fuyao brought them to the forbidden area.

After listening to this, Zhang Sanfeng's eyes flashed with admiration, and he nodded and said, "I didn't expect that it was you who broke the Zhenwu Seven-Section Formation. The young are truly formidable."

Li Chungang smiled modestly and said, "Senior, you are too kind. I was just lucky."

Chapter 35: Enlightenment of Sword Dao

Zhang Sanfeng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't be modest, there are very few people in the world who can break my Zhenwu Seven-Section Formation.

Your talent is so high that I'm afraid only my mentor can surpass you."

After the two of them exchanged some business boasts, Zhang Sanfeng's expression became serious again.

He said slowly: "What you see now is just a spirit that I left in the stone tablet.

Now that the stone tablet is broken, my spirit will soon disappear."

Li Chungang's heart tightened when he heard this. He was about to say something when Zhang Sanfeng raised his hand to interrupt him. He continued, "However, it seems fate has brought us together. You should concentrate on comprehending this insight into the way of the sword."

After saying that, Zhang Sanfeng raised his hand and waved it. Countless sword energies surged from all directions, converging into a majestic sword intent, rushing straight towards Li Chungang's eyebrows.

Li Chungang only felt a roar in his mind, as if countless sword insights were pouring into his consciousness.

Just as he was about to concentrate on his understanding, a question still lingered in his mind.

Although he already knew it, he still wanted to confirm it in person.

Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Senior, who did you mistake me for just now?"

Zhang Sanfeng's eyes flashed with a complicated expression when he heard this. After a moment's silence, he slowly said, "A rotten old man, also my mentor—the leader of the sword art five hundred years ago, and the best in the world at that time, Lü Zu!"

Li Chungang's face remained expressionless. He just nodded slightly and said, "I see."

Zhang Sanfeng looked at him deeply, as if trying to discern something from his expression, but in the end he just sighed and said, "Time is running out. Just concentrate on your enlightenment."

As he finished speaking, Zhang Sanfeng's figure gradually became blurred, and finally turned into starlight and dissipated in this mysterious space.

Li Chungang stood there, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

He didn't know whether the other party had figured out his identity.

I don’t know if the other party still hates me for not fulfilling the agreement between us.

But soon, he calmed his mind, sat down cross-legged, and began to concentrate on comprehending the sword-fighting inheritance left by the other party.

As the saying goes, a disciple surpasses his master. I accepted him at the beginning just because I felt that we were destined to be together. I never thought that he could come this far!

According to the realm given in the original book, he must be at least at the level of a great demon king.

At the same time, Wang Quan Shouzhuo and Xiaofei were still comprehending the sword intent in front of their respective stone tablets.

They didn't know that Li Chungang had entered the sword space left by Zhang Sanfeng, and they didn't know that Li Chungang had a conversation with Zhang Sanfeng's spirit.

As time slowly passed, the sword intent in the forbidden area became stronger and stronger, as if the entire space was filled with sword energy.

In Li Chungang's mind, countless insights into the way of swordsmanship flooded in like a tide, and his swordsmanship was also constantly improving without his knowledge.

Although he already has experience from his previous life, it does not mean that he cannot continue to learn from others' swordsmanship and use it to improve himself.

Just when Li Chungang, Wang Quan Shouzhuo and Xiaofei were concentrating on comprehending the way of swordsmanship in the Wudang forbidden area.

Inside the main hall of the Wudang Sect, Zhang Fuyao was sitting in the main seat with a calm expression. He held a cup of tea in his hand. He gently blew away the hot steam on the surface of the tea and slowly took a sip.

At this moment, the door of the hall was pushed open by a breeze, and a red figure quietly appeared at the door.

The person who came was dressed in red, with picturesque features and a cool temperament. It was none other than the current head of Tushan - Tushan Honghong.
