Under One Person: My comprehension is unmatched.

Chapter 131 Brother Zhang's actions in life have no need to be explained to others.

Lüjia Village.

Lu Ci stood at the village entrance with a group of his family's core members, pacing back and forth with a mixture of impatience and excitement.

Brother Zhang said he came to the Lü family today, what exactly is the matter? Is it about Duanmu Ying and his wife?

Since the Jia Shen Rebellion, the Thirty-Six Thieves have been hunted down by everyone. It was a consensus at the time that as long as they were captured, their martial arts techniques and lives could be disposed of at will.

When the Eight Extraordinary Skills were revealed, the pursuit became even more frenzied, and Duanmu Ying was no exception. Even Jishetang, which had the most complex network of relationships at the time, could not protect her.

In order to fulfill his promise to Zhang Yan, Lü Ci went to great lengths to bring the two of them back to the Lü family.

As he was reminiscing about the past, people appeared around the corner, led by Zhang Yan.

"Brother Zhang, you finally remembered to visit the Lü family. Come into the village quickly."

Lu Ci took a few quick steps forward, grabbed Zhang Yan's hand, and shook it vigorously.

Zhang Yan nodded, subtly withdrew his hand, and turned to speak.

"Come out, you're already at your doorstep, why hide?"

As Zhang Yan finished speaking, a young man wearing glasses peeked out from behind a big tree, looking at Lü Ci with some fear.

"Grandpa..."

"Humph."

When Lü Ci saw the young man, he was first taken aback, then let out a heavy snort and spoke.

"Lü Liang, if it weren't for Brother Zhang, were you planning to hide out here for the rest of your life?"

Lu Liang lowered his head, opened and closed his mouth a couple of times, but ultimately said nothing and silently walked behind Zhang Yan.

“Brother Zhang, you’re making such a fuss over such a small thing. I’m such a failure as your younger brother.”

Lu Ci looked at Zhang Yan, put on a smiling face again, extended his hand in a welcoming gesture, and then said.

"Please come in, tea is ready."

Crackling!

Crackling!

At this moment, several members of the Lü family appeared on both sides of the road, lit the firecrackers hanging on the bamboo poles, and several other members rolled a red carpet from Lü Family Village and spread it directly at Zhang Yan's feet.

"Welcome to Lüjia Village, Senior Zhang!"

All the core members of the Lü family bowed respectfully and shouted in loud voices.

Zhang Yan's eye twitched, and he said to Lü Ci, who had a smile on his face.

"That's not necessary, is it?"

"Yes, we absolutely must have it."

Seeing Zhang Yan's expression, Lü Ci continued speaking.

Is there anything you're not satisfied with, Brother Zhang?

I'm just going to Lüjia Village to pick up some things, not for a leadership inspection. Why all this fuss?

"I'm quite satisfied. Let's go in quickly."

After Zhang Yan finished speaking, he walked towards Lü Family Village under Lü Ci's guidance.

Lu Liang, who was standing behind Zhang Yan, was stunned by what he saw.

Is this still my great-grandfather?

Great-grandfather, where is your ruthlessness in killing? Where is your dignity?

Could it be that my great-grandfather's memories were altered?

Snapped!

He slapped Lü Liang on the back of the head, knocking his glasses askew.

"What are you standing there for? Trying to run away?"

Lu Liang adjusted his glasses and met Lu Ci's gaze, a sense of fear rising in his heart.

Those thoughts I just had were utter nonsense. Great-grandfather is still the same great-grandfather, just a little different when he's with Senior Zhang...

I'm really curious about what happened between my great-grandfather and Senior Zhang back then.

After Zhang Yan and his group left, several young people from the Lü family emerged from both sides of the road. They carried various kinds of filming equipment and looked very serious.

The patriarch gave a strict order: the scene just now must be recorded in every detail without any blind spots.

……

In the main hall of the Lü family, Zhang Yan sat in the main seat, looked at Lü Ci's beaming old face, coughed lightly, and spoke.

"The main reason I came to the Lü family this time is to obtain one thing: the Transformation of the Heavenly Demon Spell."

Lu Ci nodded, suppressed his smile, and glanced at the Lu family members around him.

The members of the Lü family looked puzzled upon hearing the name, but after seeing the patriarch's expression, they all understood and withdrew.

"Brother Zhang, come with me."

Lu Ci put down his teacup and walked towards the study at the back of the hall.

Upon entering the study, he pressed a button on a book on the bookshelf, causing the entire bookshelf to slide to the side, revealing a silver safe on the wall.

The front of the safe was completely bare, without even a keyhole. Lü Ci placed his hand on the safe and activated his Ruyi Jin. A click sounded.

The safe door opened outwards, and Lü Ci took out the Transformation Heavenly Demon Mantra and handed it to Zhang Yan.

Aren't you going to ask me what I'm going to do with it?

Zhang Yan took the item and looked at Lü Ci, asking a question.

"This thing originally belonged to Brother Zhang; it's just being stored here on my behalf."

"Besides, Brother Zhang, you have no reason to explain your actions to others."

Zhang Yan; "..."

"How are Duanmu Ying and his wife doing? I'd like to see them during this trip."

When Duanmu Ying and his wife were mentioned, Lü Ci fell silent before speaking.

“Brother Zhang, Duanmu Ying and his wife have passed away. Their graves are in the back mountain. Would you like to go and take a look?”

Zhang Yan remained silent for a while, then nodded and followed Lü Ci to the back mountain.

In the valley behind the mountain, on a small, flat area, stand several tiled houses. The roof tiles are a mix of old and new, indicating that they have been recently repaired.

In the front yard of the tiled house, there was another abandoned field, with a small mound standing alone in the field. In front of the mound stood a tombstone, without any words.

Zhang Yan and Lü Ci stood between the earthen mounds and tiled houses, looking at everything around them. Lü Ci spoke first.

"This house was where Duanmu Ying and his wife lived for decades."

As he spoke, he pointed to the barren field and the blank tombstone.

"At first, Duanmu Ying did not want to stay here and live this kind of secluded life."

"Although the Double-Handed Technique can change a person's appearance, it cannot change a person's Qi. She suffered a lot because of this, and once she almost died."

As he spoke, Lü Ci stretched out both hands, one hand emitting blue light and the other emitting red light, but both were very faint. He then continued.

"I had no choice but to tell her about our agreement and show her my double-handedness."

"After this incident, and with Wang Zizhong's persuasion, Duanmu Ying agreed to stay."

"If they get bored, they can change their appearance and travel abroad, but no matter where they go, they will eventually come back here."

Lu Ci never demonstrated his dual-wielding skills in front of others. Everyone assumed that his junior's "Minghun Technique" came from Duanmu Ying, but that was not the case.

When Zhang Yan touched the third level of Reversal of Life, he was able to change his bloodline by refining the innate Qi. Before the Battle of Mount Tai, Lü Ci's bloodline was changed by Zhang Yan and he was taught the Dual-Hand Technique.

Zhang Yan gazed at the blank tombstone and listened quietly to Lü Ci's story.

He then squatted down, extended a finger, and began to carve on the tombstone. Stone chips flew as several characters, sharp and intricate, appeared.

Tomb of Prince Zhong and Duanmu Ying

Friends Zhang Yan and Lü Cili

The grave, which had been unclaimed for decades, has finally been given its name.

“Lu Ci, move them back to the Jishetang in Shanxi, let them return to their roots.”

Lü Ci nodded and let out a soft breath.

Based solely on the name Zhang Yan, the younger generation of Shanxi Jishetang must respectfully invite the two back.
