Chapter 194: Chasing the Past

After finding a slightly quieter place, Wang Ye asked Chi Yao.

"Qi Men Dun Jia, you must know it, right?"

"I only know a little bit about it, please tell me slowly." Chi Yao nodded.

Wang Ye couldn't help but hold his forehead and whispered, "I still have to start from the beginning."

Wang Ye cheered up and began to explain formally.

"Okay, the Qimen magic method naturally has to start with Qimen."

"Next, I will briefly explain to you the basics of Qimen magic"

-

Earlier, Zhang Chulan encountered a lot of trouble after the competition.

Two of the Ten Lords, Lu Ci and Wang Ai, sent two men in suits to invite Zhang Chulan over.

Zhang Chulan naturally realized the other party's ill intentions. In order to stabilize the situation, Zhang Chulan did not refuse the invitation, but agreed and immediately sent a distress signal to Xu San and Xu Si.

While Zhang Chulan was trying to deal with the situation, Feng Baobao suddenly barged in, causing Zhang Chulan to make a self-destructive speech. He passed the lie detector test of the Soul-Clearing Technique and temporarily dispelled the doubts of Wang Ai and Lu Ci. Later, Xu San and Xu Si arrived and successfully saved the situation.

Before leaving, Lu Ci's last words, "Zhang Xilin was expelled from Longhu Mountain for colluding with the demon Quan Xing," made Zhang Chulan feel uneasy.

But in order to win the championship, Zhang Chulan suppressed the doubts in his heart, watched other players' competitions, and collected intelligence on his opponents.

After the competition was over, Zhang Chulan and his group were invited by Lu Linglong to attend a meeting with Quan Xing

.

"Ding-ling-ling~"

A retro cell phone ringtone rang out.

Chi Yao, who was listening to Wang Ye's lecture, also received a message from the old master, asking him to join the plan.

Just as Wang Ye's explanation was almost over, Chi Yao said.

"Thank you for your explanation, Lao Wang. Let's stop here for now. I have something to do and have to leave first. I'll treat you to dinner next time."

Wang Ye glanced at Chi Yao's phone and decided not to interfere in Chi Yao's affairs. Anyway, he had already explained the situation to the old Taoist priest.

"Go quickly if you need anything!"

Chi Yao waved goodbye to Wang Ye and came to a building in the back mountain.

When Chi Yao approached, the old Taoist priest's strong voice came from inside the door, "Xiao Yao, come in!"

Chi Yao opened the door and saw that all the people who participated in the "All-Star Crusade Meeting" in the original novel had arrived and seemed to be discussing something.

Lu Linglong and her group all looked at Chi Yao, and were very curious about this dark horse contestant who suddenly appeared in the Luotian Grand Ceremony.

"Is this the disciple of that old fellow Lin En? I've only seen his skills on the field before, but now I see him up close and he has a good temperament!" Lu Jin looked at Chi Yao and marveled.

"Greetings to the old Taoist priest, Mr. Tian, ​​and Mr. Lu." Chi Yao bowed and performed a greeting.

"Okay, everyone is here. It's time to get down to business. I took out the Tongtian Talisman at the Luotian Grand Ceremony as a bait, waiting for Quan Xing to dive in!" As Lu Jin spoke, he aroused hatred towards Quan Xing, and his eyes became a little fierce.

"That's right. When Senior Lu Jin took out the Tongtian Talisman, he contacted our company. Many employees have secretly gone up the mountain to guard against Quan Xing." Xu San said.

But unlike the original novel, Quan Xing did not send out Hu Jie as a thorn, and Lu Linglong and others did not collect the key evidence of Quan Xing's invasion.

Chi Yao asked, "Mr. Lu, how can you be sure that Quan Xing will take the bait?"

Lu Jin put his hands on his legs and said affirmatively.

"Because I have dealt with Quan Xing many times before, I know those reckless bastards. As long as the bait is big enough, I will be able to lure out those rats in the gutter!"

"And the Tongtian Scroll is the big enough bait. And there is also Zhang Chulan. Rumor has it that he has inherited the source of the Qi body. With two of the Eight Wonders appearing at the same time, hum! I'm not afraid that they won't take the bait!"

"Ah? I have no objection to being bait, but I must clarify the fact. My grandfather really did not teach me the origin of Qi body. He never told me any information about the origin of Qi body!" Zhang Chulan explained immediately when the topic came up with himself.

"Haha! Chu Lan, Lao Tian and I both know Huaiyi. We believe that he will not keep this hot potato to harm his descendants." The old Taoist priest said with a smile, helping Zhang Chulan out of the predicament.

After clarifying the strategy for dealing with all the evil spirits, the small meeting ended.

Zhang Chulan pondered for a while, knelt down, kowtowed to the old Taoist priest, and asked.

"Master! Old Master Lu Ci said that my grandfather was colluding with the Quan Xing demon! Is this true?"

"Master! I know you will only tell me the truth when I am qualified, but I must confirm this matter, whether my grandfather is a bad person!"

Zhang Chulan's words came from the bottom of his heart. As for how much his acting skills helped, only he himself knew.

The old Taoist priest and Tian Jinzhong looked at each other and remained silent.

Lu Jin, who was standing by, couldn't bear to watch it anymore and stood in front of Zhang Chulan and said.

"Old Zhang, look at how you've been forced by that kid. I don't know why you should hide that little thing from me back then. If you don't tell me, then I will!"

Seeing that the old Taoist priest had no objection, Lu Jin drove Lu Linglong and others out of the house.

"You youngsters, get out first!"

Zhang Chulan also spoke.

"No need for the third and fourth brothers! You are all here to help me investigate Grandpa's affairs."

Chi Yao stayed because of his identity as Lin En's apprentice.

Chi Yao raised his hand, and a layer of light blue sound-sealing barrier enveloped the room, and he began to explain.

"Seniors, here are some small measures to prevent eavesdropping."

Lu Jin watched Chi Yao cast a spell and praised him.

"Great! It saves me from having to chase them away."

Then, Lu Jin looked at Zhang Chulan and his tone became serious.

"Chu Lan, I didn't get involved in what happened back then, and I don't know the details. But your grandfather's case doesn't wrongly accuse him. Your grandfather did collude with the Quan Xing monster, and he and the Quan Xing monster became sworn brothers!"

"And it wasn't just your grandfather. There were other noble and upright people who swore brotherhood with him. There were 36 people in total who participated in the brotherhood, and they were called the '36 Thieves'!"

"Although the news of the 36 thieves' oath of brotherhood was kept secret, it still leaked out. In order to maintain the positive image of their own sects, many sects joined forces to issue a hunting order to eliminate the traitors within their sects."

"I was the eldest son of the Lu family at the time, and I knew the inside story, but it was a serious matter, so I didn't dare to help my friend Zheng Zibu out of trouble."

At the end of the conversation, Lu Jin's eyes drooped, and he said self-deprecatingly, "A flawless life, hehe, am I worthy of it!?"

Hearing this heavy news, Zhang Chulan looked at the old Taoist priest and said, "Master, you were so mean to my grandfather back then."

"Not only me, but also Junior Brother Tian. It was us two who went down the mountain to chase your grandfather!" Things had come to this point, and the old Taoist priest was no longer silent.

"And Master Tian? Back then, you..." Zhang Chulan couldn't help but ask.

Tian Jinzhong glanced at the old Taoist priest, who did not say anything to stop him, and then said.

"Back then, your grandfather Zhang Huaiyi swore brotherhood with the monster Quan Xing, which caused a lot of trouble for the Tianshi Mansion."

"Even if Master wants to save Huaiyi, he has no right to do so unless Huaiyi can return to Tianshi Mansion and handle the matter internally in the name of sect rules."

"So, I went down the mountain secretly with your Master Zhiwei and split up into two groups to look for your grandfather Zhang Huaiyi, but we still couldn't find him."

"I was attacked by the enemy halfway through the journey, and they almost captured me. Fortunately, I met Lin En's help, so I can sit here safely."

"Lin En? Is he Brother Yao's master?" Zhang Chulan looked at Hui Yao and understood why the old master was so kind to Hui Yao.

Tian Jinzhong nodded.

"Yes, he is Xiaoyao's master. After Lao Lin saved me, he sent me back to Longhu Mountain with my serious injuries. After that, we became friends with Lao Lin and we interacted with each other several times."

"Although Lao Lin is not a man of all virtues, he seems to know a lot of information about the thirty-six thieves back then, and he warned me not to delve further into the matter."

Hearing what Tian Jinzhong said, Zhang Chulan looked at Chi Yao suddenly, "Brother Yao! Did your master tell you anything?"

"Hmm?" The topic suddenly turned to himself, which made Chi Yao a little confused. 'Is this identity so important? I do know a lot about the original novel. Is this to allow me to tell part of the plot reasonably?'

　First update.

The second half of this chapter is a partial expansion of the original content. After all, it is an extra character, Lin En, inserted into the history of one person. I think it is necessary to write about the

supplementary content of Qimen narrated by Wang Ye even if the content is repeated. I will not put it in the main text. Just count it as 3000 words~

"Okay, Qimen magic, naturally we have to start with Qimen. 'Qi' refers to the three wonders, namely Yi, Bing, and Ding among the ten heavenly stems. The remaining Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui are the six instruments. The three wonders and six instruments are divided into nine palaces and governed by Jia. And the gate naturally refers to the eight gates, which are the contents of the human plate."

"The Qimen Bureau is divided into four plates, namely heaven, earth, man, and god."

"The celestial disk symbolizes the influence of celestial movement and is divided into nine stars: Tianpeng, Tianren, Tianchong, Tianfu, Tianying, Tianrui, Tianzhu, Tianxin and Tianqin."

"The land symbolizes the influence of natural elements, which are divided into eight trigrams: Qian, Zhen, Kan, Gen, Kun, Xun, Li and Dui."

"The human plate symbolizes the influence of spatial orientation and is divided into eight gates: Xiumen, Shengmen, Shangmen, Dumen, Jingmen, Simen, Jingmen, and Kaimen."

"The divine disk symbolizes the influence of mysterious forces, which are divided into eight gods: Zhifu, Tengshe, Taiyin, Liuhe, Baihu, Xuanwu, Jiudi, and Jiutian."

"The sky plate is generally a divination technique, the earth plate is to mobilize the power of nature, the human plate is a technique to manipulate space, and the god plate is more like a technique to borrow power from the gods."

"Next, I will briefly explain to you the basics of Qimen magic."
