Lu Li discovered that the boy's marksmanship was not very skillful, probably because he had not been instructed by a famous teacher and had only figured it out on his own.
This martial art is very powerful for ordinary people, but it poses no threat to Dian Wei.
Bang!
Suddenly, the boy's spear technique faltered, and Dian Wei seized the opportunity to exploit the opening, then delivered a heavy blow.
The boy's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly drew his spear to shield himself.
"Bang!"
The immense force made the boy's hands go numb, and he slid back several meters before regaining his footing.
He raised his head, staring intently at Dian Wei, his heart filled with astonishment. His own strength far surpassed that of his peers, even comparable to that of ordinary martial artists, yet he still couldn't withstand the onslaught of this burly man. This man was truly formidable.
Dian Wei was secretly amazed. In the past two years, he had been learning the internal energy cultivation method of Guigu under Lu Li's side. Even Guan Yu was no match for him, but this young man still had the ability to fight back. He was indeed extraordinary.
"Who exactly are you?" the boy asked, frowning.
He originally did not intend to venture into Ghost Valley, but only wanted to become a disciple and learn from them. However, Gao Shun and the others surrounded him without explanation, which led him to attack and injure people.
Dian Wei could tell that the young man did not seem like a wicked person, so he said, "My name is Dian Wei!"
"Dian Wei?" The young man was slightly taken aback, having never heard of him before.
"What's your name?" Dian Wei asked in a simple and honest manner.
The young man shook his swollen wrist, exhaled, and replied, "I am Zhao Yun, courtesy name Zilong, from Changshan! I have come to Guigu to seek your teachings, not to force my way in."
Upon hearing this, Lu Li's expression turned strange. Good heavens! This person was actually Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong!
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhao Yun made seven charges in and out of Changban Slope, navigating Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops with unparalleled bravery.
He twice helped the young emperor, displaying unparalleled courage!
Later generations even said that Liu Shan and Zhao Yun fought wildly at Changban Slope, with Zhao Yun in charge of the killing and Liu Shan in charge of the fighting... But I digress.
But those who know history know that Zhao Yun in Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a combination of the historical Zhao Yun and Chen Dao.
However, Lu Li still greatly admired Zhao Zilong of Changshan's reputation.
Moreover, this man was a hero of his time, with many legendary achievements in history, and can be called a famous general throughout the ages.
Lu Li stared at Zhao Yun carefully for a while, and couldn't help but nod. As expected of a famous general from the Three Kingdoms period, he was handsome, dignified, and dashing. He was indeed a handsome man.
"Young man, I didn't mean to hurt you just now, I just lost control." Dian Wei scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.
Zhao Yun shook his head: "It's alright, but please forgive me for venturing into the mountain so rashly."
Although he apologized, his tone revealed confidence and determination, showcasing his character.
Lu Li stepped forward and looked Zhao Yun up and down. This young man had an extraordinary demeanor and a calm and open mind. Given time, he would surely become a famous general who would be renowned throughout the world.
"My name is Lu Li, and I am the junior brother of Guiguzi Tong Yuan. Let's go into the mountains together and talk." After saying this, Lu Li led Zhao Yun up the mountain.
Zhao Yun was slightly taken aback. He had never heard of Guiguzi having a junior brother, but judging from Lu Li's expression, he probably wouldn't lie to him.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yun followed closely behind Lu Li and the others, climbed to the top of Yunmeng Mountain, and arrived at the gate of Guigu.
When Tong Yuan learned that Lu Li had returned, he was very excited and immediately took Lu Li to the Ghost Valley Temple on the back mountain. After Lu Li finished offering incense, Tong Yuan couldn't wait to ask him about his experiences over the past two years.
Lu Li gave a brief account, which greatly shocked Tong Yuan. He never expected that Lu Li had experienced so much.
"Mr. Shui Jing is actually the leader of the Black Ice Platform!" Tong Yuan murmured to himself, his eyes filled with admiration and worship.
That's the Black Ice Platform! It was created by Lu Li back then, and it dominated the six kingdoms, helping Qin Shi Huang unify the world and suppressing all under heaven.
Tong Yuan took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and continued to ask, "Ancestor, are we still clueless about the person behind the Red Sleeve Pavilion?"
Lu Li nodded. Although he had encountered Sima Hui this time, he could guess most of what Sima Hui knew.
Lu Li still had no clue about the events surrounding Liu Bang and Xiang Yu back then. Why were these two people still alive, or were they not the same two people from back then?
Lu Li always felt that from the moment he stepped into Luoyang, it was as if he was being watched and guided little by little to the Great Wall, Shuijing Villa, and Yingchuan Academy.
Because he felt he was getting closer and closer to the truth, but he just couldn't grasp it.
This person behind the scenes is no ordinary individual; he is so well hidden that Lu Li has no way of finding any clues.
"Alas!" Tong Yuan sighed and said, "Ancestor, since this matter has been over for so long, why are you still so fixated on it?"
"I won't give up until this matter is clarified," Lu Li said, shaking his head in a deep voice.
He couldn't understand why, despite all he had done, the Qin Dynasty still perished, and almost all traces of him had been erased.
As if he had never been to this world, Lu Li was not someone who valued fame and fortune. What he wanted was the fact that he existed, and the fact that Xiao Lu'er and the others had existed.
What he needs is the truth, not illusion.
Seeing Lu Li's stubbornness, Tong Yuan could only sigh silently. He knew he couldn't dissuade him and could only let him do as he pleased.
"By the way, Zhao Yun is a very promising young man. I am not good at spear fighting, so you must teach him well. He will surely become a great man in the future!" Lu Li changed the subject and instructed Tong Yuan.
Tong Yuan nodded. He had just met Zhao Yun, and he found that Zhao Yun was indeed talented and had a good temperament.
However, Lu Li actually said that he was not good at spear fighting. Tong Yuan rolled his eyes inwardly. He had only seen Zhang Xiu use the Phoenix Three Nods once, and he immediately used the entire Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear. Was that not good at it?
"Rest assured, Ancestor, I will dedicate all my knowledge to teaching him," Tong Yuan solemnly promised.
He knew that although Lu Li's martial arts skills had far surpassed his own, teaching him spear techniques was a different story.
After all, Yang Jian's master struggled even to climb clouds, yet he produced such a prodigy as Yang Jian.
After leaving Guigu Temple, Tong Yuan and Zhao Yun held a ceremony to formally become disciples.
The apprenticeship ceremony was very complicated, and Lu Li was getting sleepy watching it. When he became Su Qin's apprentice back then, it wasn't this complicated.
After Zhao Yun finished his apprenticeship ceremony, he knelt down before Lu Li and said, "Yun greets Martial Uncle!"
Lu Li nodded gently and said with a smile, "Good boy, get up."
"I don't have much to give you, but I'll forge a good gun for you in the future."
Zhao Yun's eyes lit up, and he immediately cupped his hands in a gesture of flattery, saying, "Thank you, Martial Uncle!"
Tong Yuan waved his hand and said, "Your cultivation is still shallow, and you need to work hard. I will personally guide you in the future. I hope you will not disappoint your master."
"I will obey your orders, Master!"
After Zhao Yun withdrew, Lai Fu walked in and knelt down with a thud, saying, "Master!"
Lu Li was startled by Leifu's kneeling and quickly asked, "What happened?"
"I also want to go down the mountain and travel around!"
