Li Chunqiu was so frightened that he stepped down and almost turned around to run, but he saw the door of the hall slowly open, revealing a man in a black robe and a demon mask.
Sitting among the twelve water-controlling beads suspended in the air, the eyes of the hungry ghost mask radiated an infinite majestic gaze, making it impossible to even think of escaping.
Li Chunqiu immediately suppressed the fear in his heart, walked quickly into the hall, and subconsciously knelt down to worship.
"Senior, I am Li Chunqiu, the successor of Shushan. I have mistakenly entered this precious place and disturbed your rest. Please forgive me!"
Zhang Fan looked up at Li Chunqiu, with a very interesting light flashing in his eyes.
This was a rare cultivator he had seen in this world, and he was a master who had reached the level of Earthly Immortal.
The last time he was in Kyoto, he met two practitioners walking in the human world, but those two people had just broken through the innate realm, and they were able to deal with ghosts because of their extraordinary talents.
There is also an ordinary person who controls the mountains, rivers and veins into a formation and has some earth dragon energy in his body.
As for the real master who possesses the system of cultivation, this is the strongest person he has seen so far.
"Shushan? It's quite interesting. There are still modern powerful cultivators there."
Zhang Fan mentioned it casually and then fell silent.
Li Chunqiu looked up tremblingly, only to see Zhang Fan looking away indifferently, as if he was enjoying the scenery.
Li Chunqiu felt relieved: "It seems that this senior doesn't blame me for straying into this treasure land. Then can I ask this senior where the successor of this generation of Shushan is?"
Thinking of this, Li Chunqiu got excited and said with a fist.
"Senior, could you please help me? All the leaders of my Shushan sect have been reincarnated. I used to be able to sense their location every sixty years, but now, I have no sense at all.
The Shushan Sword Sect has now become a lost cause. We all rely on the leader to lead us in practicing together. If there is no leader, I am afraid it will not be long before the Shushan Sword Sect will disappear from the world.
I, the younger generation, beg the elders to point us to a bright path.”
Li Chunqiu knelt on the ground and kowtowed with a very pious attitude.
Zhang Fan suddenly realized that this guy came to the Tiandi Pawnshop to look for his boss.
He was very curious about what treasures the Shushan Sword Sect had. Would there be a sword that could split the sky and the earth in half with one sword? He estimated that it should be considered an innate magic weapon.
So he said, "Tian Di Pawn Shop can indeed help you!"
When Li Chunqiu heard this, he was overjoyed.
But Zhang Fan continued, "The reason why the leader of your Shushan Sword Sect no longer appears in the world is that your Sword Sect is on the road to destruction! Even if I help you and reverse the destiny, I will bear the punishment from the Heaven."
Li Chunqiu's face changed color due to his shock at Zhang Fan's words.
"Senior, how is this possible? The Shushan Sword Sect has long been in seclusion from the world, never interfering in anything, only focusing on cultivation and passing on the ancient swordsmanship! Could it be that the heaven and earth do not even allow this?"
Zhang Fan almost laughed out loud when he heard this!
He could use the Qi-gazing technique to see through all causes and effects, so he could tell at a glance that it was not Heaven that wanted to destroy the Shushan Sword Sect, but because something had gone wrong with the reincarnation of their leader.
Sixty years ago, it was a very turbulent period. The previous leader of their Shushan Sword Sect was too timid and chose to live in seclusion. He also forced his disciples not to go out to help mortals.
This also touches upon a special law between heaven and earth, which is the reward and punishment for good and evil.
Perhaps without the interference of the leader, the Shushan Sword Sect would have been able to shine at the time and help many people who should not have died survive.
But because of his stupid decision, some rule variables underwent unpredictable changes.
Of course, unpredictability is only for mortals, but Zhang Fan sees through everything.
A good man who had reincarnated and experienced seven lives should have had a good beginning and a good end in this life, but he died at the foot of the mountain gate because of the selfishness of the Shushan Sword Sect.
This naturally angered the Heaven, and then the current leader of the Shushan Sword Sect was reincarnated and reborn as an animal.
As a result, the changes in fate that Li Chunqiu could feel were naturally several times more complicated. With his ability, it was difficult to calculate where the reincarnated leader was at this time.
That's why Zhang Fan boasted that God would destroy Shushan to scare Li Chunqiu.
Now it seems that the plan is succeeding very smoothly, and Li Chunqiu is almost scared to tears.
Zhang Fan then coughed lightly and spoke in a very mysterious tone.
"Li Chunqiu, you also know that the previous leader was lacking in virtue, and he was born according to reincarnation, which originally restricted him a lot.
Sometimes, if you take a wrong step, there is no chance to make up for it. As the guardian of Shushan Sword Sect, you are also responsible for this matter.
Now it seems that if you don’t bleed a little, it will be difficult to find the reincarnated leader of this life.”
Li Chunqiu immediately showed a very painful expression and knelt on the ground crying loudly.
"At the beginning, I advised the previous leader that even if he knew that he was doomed, he must not choose to block the mountain gate and block the last escape route for those who have great trust in our Shushan.
I really hope that my judgment is wrong, but now it seems that my Shushan clan will be wiped out today."
Zhang Fan saw that this guy had a pessimistic face and thought that if he continued to be so pessimistic, he would probably choose to let things take their course.
After all, people like these who have practiced alone for hundreds of years have basically known some of the rules that govern the human world, and if they intervene rashly they will get caught in a whirlpool.
This is also the reason why some practitioners seem to be very selfish and would rather watch the tragedy happen before their eyes than take any action.
This old guy must be well aware of the situation. If he chooses to let things take their course, Zhang Fan’s plan to extort money from him will be completely thwarted.
So Zhang Fan pretended to sigh helplessly: "Forget it, no one in this world is perfect. After all, the previous leader continued the heritage of Shushan, so there must be a chance to save it. It all depends on what you can come up with."
Li Chunqiu's eyes lit up and he immediately took off the sword on his back.
“Senior, this item was created by my master, Taoist Qian Zhen, who spent his entire life searching for lightning-struck wood and forged the Five Thunder Sword on his deathbed.
This sword is made of thousand-year-old peach wood. When it is swung, there will be the sound of wind and thunder, and it can also contain the power of magic.
As long as it is activated by a special Taoist method, it can summon the power of thunder, kill evil spirits, break formations, and sweep away evil beasts. It can be said to be braver than ten thousand men and as sharp as a knife cutting butter! ?
