Chapter 142 Yun Zhongzi Wants to Accept a Disciple
Thinking of this, Luo Shu took a deep breath and calmed down the shock in his heart.
I should have thought of it just now. Thunder fell from the sky, a baby appeared, and Ji Chang passed by here. Isn't that the time for Ji Chang to collect Lei Zhenzi?
Just as Luo Shu fell into deep thought, Ji Chang ordered his attendants and others to expand the search range.
Everyone took the order and expanded the search range along the location of Luoshu.
After a long time, the sound of light footsteps came from a distance, interrupting Luo Shu's thoughts.
He looked up and saw that all the people Ji Chang had sent out had returned.
There was a hint of confusion and fatigue on their faces, and it was obvious that they had spent a lot of energy searching for some signs.
Ji Chang walked forward, scanned everyone's faces, and then asked:
"How is it? Did you find anything unusual? Or any trace of the baby?"
Everyone shook their heads, and one of them answered:
"My Lord, we searched the surrounding area carefully, but did not find anything unusual, let alone any trace of the baby you mentioned."
After hearing this, Ji Chang frowned, a thoughtful look appeared on his face, and there was a hint of doubt and confusion in his voice:
"Did I really hear it wrong? Why is the cry of the baby so clear, as if it were right next to my ear, causing ripples in my heart?"
After hearing this, the attendants all lowered their heads. They knew how important Ji Chang was to this matter, and they also understood that silence at this moment was the best response.
In a moment, Ji Chang seemed to come back to his senses from his thoughts. He sighed softly, and his voice revealed an unspeakable regret.
Then he said firmly:
"Since there is no trace to follow here, we can only keep moving forward. Prepare your luggage and set off immediately for Chaoge."
After hearing this, the attendants immediately took action, packed their equipment, and headed for Chaoge City.
Luo Shu showed up only after Ji Chang and others left.
Luo Shu stood there quietly holding the baby, his eyes deep and complex.
After a while, Luo Shu sighed softly and murmured to himself:
"Lei Zhenzi, you are the chosen star general. You should not leave it to the Chan Sect. I will take you to a good place."
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Shu circulated his spiritual power and prepared to leave here with Lei Zhenzi in his arms.
In an instant, a stream of light flashed and appeared in front of Luo Shu. When the fairy light dissipated, a figure appeared.
This is an old man with a sage-like appearance. His hair and beard are all white, but his eyes are as bright as the brightest stars in the night sky, shining brightly.
"My dear friend, I am Yun Zhongzi, the Qigong practitioner from Yuzhu Cave in Zhongnan Mountain."
The old man's voice echoed in Luo Shu's ears, with a clarity that transcended the world.
He looked gently at Luo Shu and the baby in his arms, and continued:
"The baby in your arms is destined to be with me. Can you let me take him away and accept him as my apprentice?"
When Luo Shu heard Yun Zhongzi's self-introduction, he was shocked.
He had heard of the name Yun Zhongzi a long time ago.
As a second-generation disciple of the Chan sect, although he is not among the Twelve Golden Immortals, he is highly valued by Yuanshi Tianzun and is a truly virtuous and true immortal in the Chan sect.
Logically speaking, given Yun Zhongzi's character and cultivation, he could rest assured in handing Lei Zhenzi over to him, and it would also be the best destination for Lei Zhenzi.
However, Yun Zhongzi is a member of the Chan sect. If Lei Zhenzi becomes his disciple, wouldn't that mean he is sending a great general to the Chan sect to attack the Shang Dynasty?
For Luoshu, this undoubtedly posed a threat to the Shang Dynasty.
Yun Zhongzi stood in front of Luo Shu, his eyes as sharp as torches.
Seeing that Luo Shu did not respond to his words immediately, but fell into deep thought, he continued to speak slowly:
"My friend, this boy is extraordinary. If you let me guide him, his future will be limitless. So, what do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Shu looked up at Yun Zhongzi, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
Then, Luo Shu took a deep breath, his tone revealing a hint of firmness and apology:
"Thanks to you for your kindness, I have already found someone to teach this boy, so I won't bother you any more."
When Yun Zhongzi heard Luo Shu's polite refusal, he felt a little dissatisfied, but as a master who had practiced for many years, he naturally knew how to restrain his emotions, and his face remained as calm as water.
He stroked his beard and spoke slowly, his voice revealing an unquestionable majesty and confidence:
"I wonder who you have found to teach this boy? I didn't make it clear just now. I am a disciple of the Jade Purity Saint Yuanshi Tianzun."
After listening to Yun Zhongzi's introduction again, Luo Shu couldn't help but feel an inexplicable smile in his heart.
He recalled that Taiyi Zhenren had mentioned his teacher and background in a similar tone before, and he secretly sighed in his heart:
"Do the disciples of the Chan Sect like to do a bit of "running mouth" like this before accepting a disciple?"
He shook his head slightly, trying to dispel this somewhat funny association.
Then, Luo Shu raised his head and looked at Yun Zhongzi firmly, with an unquestionable firmness in his tone: "
"Fellow Daoist, I know you have good intentions and are sincere to Lei Zhenzi."
"However, the person you asked me about is not important. What is important is that you cannot take Lei Zhenzi away today."
Yun Zhongzi was slightly stunned, and his eyes revealed a hint of unbelievable astonishment.
He thought that after revealing his identity as a disciple of the Jade Purity Saint Yuanshi Tianzun, Luo Shu would reconsider his proposal or even agree to it directly.
However, the Luo Shu in front of him rejected him so firmly, which was completely beyond his expectations.
He stared at Luo Shu, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, his face gradually sank, and his voice became low and powerful:
"Are you serious, fellow Taoist? You must know that following me to practice the orthodox Taoist methods will not only allow Lei Zhenzi to embark on the correct path of cultivation, but also allow him to appreciate the true meaning of Taoism."
Yun Zhongzi's words were full of temptation and confidence. He believed that under his teaching, Lei Zhenzi would become a shining star among the third generation of disciples of the Chan sect.
However, Luo Shu remained calm and resolute. He looked at Yun Zhongzi deeply and then spoke slowly:
"I appreciate your kindness, but Lei Zhenzi's future will not be tied to yours. So, just go back to where you came from."
When Yun Zhongzi heard Luo Shu's words, his face instantly turned gloomy and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
As a disciple of the sage Yuanshi Tianzun, he has profound cultivation and a respected status. Normally, no one dares to show the slightest disrespect to him.
However, today he was rejected repeatedly by Luo Shu, which made him very angry.
"Daoyou, do you know what you are talking about?"
Yun Zhongzi's voice was filled with anger. "I am a disciple of a saint, and my cultivation is unrivaled in the world. How many people dream of this opportunity, and you rejected it so easily?"
Facing Yun Zhongzi's angry glare, Luo Shu replied calmly:
"If you don't want to leave, I will take Lei Zhenzi and leave first."
Before he finished speaking, Luo Shu gently picked up Lei Zhenzi, turned around and slowly walked past Yun Zhongzi.
Yun Zhongzi was completely enraged by Luo Shu's actions. He widened his eyes in anger, with raging rage flashing in his eyes.
He took a step forward, blocking the way of Luo Shu and Lei Zhenzi, and shouted in a low and angry voice:
"Okay, okay, since you are so disrespectful, then let's fight."
"If you win, I will turn around and leave; if you lose, let me take Lei Zhenzi away."
After saying that, Yun Zhongzi's aura surged, and a pressure from the late Daluo Golden Immortal swept towards Luo Shu and Lei Zhenzi.
The Taoist robe on his body rustled in the wind, as if countless runes were flashing.
An invisible magical power emanated from his body and pointed directly at Luoshu.
Seeing this, Luo Shu remained calm and gently protected Lei Zhenzi.
Afterwards, he circulated the spiritual power in his body and shot out several streams of light to meet Yun Zhongzi's magic.
