"......"

Lu Li was immediately shocked. Could it be that this generation's Guiguzi is a woman?

Since only Guiguzi is allowed to enter Guigu Temple, the fact that this woman is here means that she is the Guiguzi of this generation.

But judging from his age, he's still very young. How could he possibly be Guiguzi?

Lu Li hesitated for a moment before asking, "May I ask who you are?"

"I asked you first, so why are you asking me now?"

"Well......"

Lu Li was immediately embarrassed and quickly explained, "Miss, you misunderstand. My name is Lu Li."

"Lu Li?"

A look of suspicion appeared in the woman's eyes. She looked Lu Li up and down, remaining silent.

Lu Li was puzzled by the look of disbelief. He coughed lightly and added, "Did I do something wrong?"

"Is your name really Lu Li?" the woman asked again.

"Um!"

Lu Li nodded, then touched his nose and said, "Can't I be called Lu Li?"

The woman then pointed to the stone statue in front of Lu Li.

"Are you Lu Li, the ancestor of my Ghost Valley?"

Now it was Lu Li's turn to be embarrassed, because this woman actually recognized him directly.

"You know me?"

The woman nodded and smiled, "Legend has it that our Ghost Valley has an ancestor with unfathomable strength named Lu Li, who helped Qin Shi Huang sweep across the six kingdoms and unify the world."

"Moreover, he may have been an immortal, because he also appeared during the Eastern Han Dynasty."

"Are you the patriarch of our Ghost Valley?" the woman asked, her big eyes sparkling.

Lu Li gave a wry smile, then said, "It's me, but who are you? And why are you at Guigu Temple?"

At this moment, the woman made a shushing gesture in a low voice and quickly said, "Ancestor, let me tell you, no one but Guiguzi can enter this Guigu Temple. I sneaked in!"

Goodness, this girl is incredibly naive. She believed him just because he said she was Lu Li?

"Are you also a disciple of Ghost Valley?" Lu Li continued to ask.

"Well...I guess so. My father was Guiguzi!"

"Your father? Who is he?"

"My father's name is Wang Tong, and he's a modern-day Guiguzi!"

Lu Li's pupils contracted. Wang Tong... There are almost no records of this person in history.

But Lu Li knew this person; all the disciples he taught were people who would be remembered in history.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Li Jing, Chen Shuda, and others were all his disciples!

"So it was him..."

Before Lu Li could finish speaking, a cold voice suddenly rang out from outside: "How dare you trespass on Ghost Valley Temple! You're courting death!"

Then a figure burst through the air like a ghost, appearing instantly in front of Lu Li, wielding a sharp sword and thrusting it towards him.

Lu Li's eyes narrowed, and a strong sense of crisis arose spontaneously.

He suddenly retreated, dodging the fatal blow.

However, the figure relentlessly pursued him, the sword in its hand transforming into a venomous snake as it stabbed towards Lu Li's neck.

Lu Li quickly extended two fingers, forcing the other party back.

The man's eyes narrowed, and he attacked again.

Lu Li's eyes turned cold, and he dodged the attack with a swift movement.

He stomped his right leg on the ground, and a terrifying force swept out, directly hitting the man's chest and sending him flying, crashing heavily to the ground.

"Pfft~"

The man spat out blood, clearly indicating he was seriously injured.

"Uncle-Master! Are you alright?" the woman exclaimed, rushing over to help him up.

"No...I...I'm fine..."

The man shook his head, his gaze falling on Lu Li, a look of shock in his eyes.

The martial arts technique Lu Li just used was too terrifying; he simply couldn't withstand that force.

"You...you are a Martial Venerable expert?"

Lu Li could sense that this person was actually a Grandmaster!

"Master Uncle, he is our ancestor Lu Li!" the woman said urgently.

"What? Impossible!"

The man looked on in disbelief. He stared intently, then shook his head and said, "He just looks a lot like the Ancestor. How could Ancestor Lu Li still be alive?"

"Uncle-Master..."

The woman wanted to say something more, but was stopped by the other party.

"I am indeed Lu Li, and also Guiguzi!" Lu Li declared.

He then looked at the man and asked, "Who are you?"

"My name is Yuan Tiangang!"

Yuan Tiangang!

A metaphysician, astronomer, and mathematician from the late Sui and early Tang dynasties.

Legend has it that he could judge good or bad fortune based on the direction of the wind he heard, which is why Emperor Taizong of Tang summoned him to the court to serve as his advisor.

However, there are also legends that Yuan Tiangang lived to be three hundred years old, but unfortunately his lifespan eventually ran out.

Is Wang Tong the contemporary Guiguzi, and Yuan Tiangang Wang Tong's junior brother?

"You claim to be Ancestor Lu Li, but do you have any proof?" Yuan Tiangang asked.

Although there have always been legends about Guigu Luli, who may be an immortal, no one has ever seen him in over four hundred years. Who knows if the rumors are true or false?

"I......"

Lu Li was speechless for a moment, then took out a token engraved with the name of Guigu from his pocket.

"You must recognize the Ghost Valley token, right?"

To everyone's surprise, Yuan Tiangang immediately sneered upon seeing it: "You dare to impersonate the Ghost Valley Token with this worthless plaque?"

Only then did Lu Li realize that the token passed down through generations of Guiguzi had always been with him, and after so many years, it must have changed its appearance long ago.

"hehe..."

Lu Li chuckled awkwardly twice and took the token back.
