Seeing Lu Jian's appearance, people in Jiu Chuan looked at each other.
"???"
Qi Ye’s head was filled with questions.
He originally thought Dai Yuanyang was the first to arrive.
He relied on his own analysis of Jinding points and his familiarity with mountain roads and Feng Shui to find the correct way up the mountain and avoid danger. He originally thought that he should be the first to arrive, but he found that Dai Yuanyang was already standing in the yard.
.
You know, the Jiu Liu should be the strongest when it comes to finding paths and moving mountains to find dragons. They can find the right way out when facing those strange things, and they can be called the eyes of the team.
But Dai Yuanyang is actually faster than himself!
Could it be that the technology of foreigners has really been able to systematically improve and strengthen all the abilities of the Nine-Rank?
Just as the follow-up people arrived one after another and everyone was discussing who was the first, Lu Tan's voice suddenly came.
"Stop arguing and come to eat..."
Hearing the familiar young man's voice, even the blind man Zhang couldn't help but tilt his head slightly.
"Brother Lu, we thought you were missing. Why are you here? That's not right."
Qi Ye was just about to ask a question when he realized something was wrong.
"Brother Lu, when did you arrive?"
He Chong asked immediately.
"I'm not sure. When I got here, I saw no one and I was hungry again, so I went into the kitchen to see what was available. Since I had the ingredients, I just made it myself."
Lu Jian told the truth.
"?"
Dai Yuanyang couldn't help but raise questions after hearing this.
Relying on the help of his professor, he mastered some strange laws of Jiangcheng Mountain in advance through various scientific and extraordinary means, and then he was able to go up the mountain as quickly as possible. Even so, it took more than half an hour, and he encountered certain obstacles.
It was dangerous, but this young man actually arrived two quarters of an hour ahead of schedule and even cooked a meal?
Is this possible?
Is this something humans can do?
Dai Yuanyang once suspected that Lu Tan was lying. He might have used other means to go up the mountain in advance.
"Mr. Lu came with us. He went up the mountain one step ahead of us. He must have unique skills to be able to arrive so early."
Du Ming stood up and explained to Lu Tian at this time.
"Mr. Lu, can you tell us about your experience along the way?"
After Lu Tan heard this, he told everything he had encountered. Except for the final method of dealing with the zombies, which was a little vague, he didn't hide anything else.
"Indeed, this mountaineering path is the way to confront your inner demons and defeat yourself. If you cannot maintain your original intention, then the illusions you encounter on the road will become your obstacles."
Du Ming sighed with emotion.
How can we live without some obsessions and pursuits in this world?
This hiking trail will gain insight into people's hearts, show off the weaknesses of human nature, and create illusions to confuse people's minds. If you are a little less determined, you will be rejected, and it will take time to struggle and struggle. Finally, you will break through.
Inner demons may also be attacked by illusory monsters. If you don't take a few steps, you may not be able to finish the journey smoothly.
But at Lu Jian's speed, it was as if he was on the hook.
He was not affected by those hallucinations at all, and even the last illusory monster was quickly eliminated?
If Lu Jian was a few steps ahead of them, it would be considered normal, but Lu Jian had even cooked the meal, and it was definitely not just one step or two steps.
"Maybe I'm just lucky and haven't encountered too many dangerous things."
Lu Tiao made a casual guess.
"Perhaps, returning to one's original nature is the direct path to Xuanjun."
Qiye murmured.
"Stop talking about this, it's more important to eat. These ingredients should be fine, right? Anyway, I tasted some and it's okay."
Lu Tan invited everyone to eat.
Looking at a table of dishes with slightly weird recipes, everyone was even more speechless.
Did Lu Tan really think he was here for a spring outing?
No one moved their chopsticks, but Dai Yuanyang sat aside and looked coldly. Only the blind man Zhang was the first to stretch out his chopsticks and pick up a piece of meat.
“The taste is okay.”
After chewing and swallowing, he spoke.
Others also moved their chopsticks.
After drinking and eating, Master Qi cleared his throat.
"In this first level, the fastest one should be Lu Tan's brother, the second place should be from the Dai family, I should be third, the fourth should be Mr. Zhang, and the fifth should be Mr. Shi Buwen. We will each add up
Scored."
What surprised Lu Tan was that, in addition to Qi Ye, who was good at finding roads, the blind man Zhang arrived one step earlier than Shi Buwen, who ran fast.
Thinking back to Lu Tiao's sight of the blind man Zhang lying on the roadside and the paper man he used to escape, this old man who was able to participate in four Xuanjun battles may not be as old and frail as he seems.
"This second competition is to spend a night here, looking for something hidden here. It is a jade pendant handed down by our ancestors. This jade pendant is divided into nine pieces. When everyone finds it, they will find it according to their hands.
The number of jade pendant fragments on it is used to record the score."
Master Qi simply explained.
"I'm good at finding things."
Lu Tan said something.
Others looked at him one after another.
Boxing is afraid of young people, and as Lu Jian is the youngest among these people, there is no guarantee that he does not have any special means.
The first stage of the hiking trail was already daunting, but now it seemed that Lu Jian was a strong opponent on the road to becoming Xuanjun.
"Speaking of which, Master Qi, why do we have to stay overnight to find them? Can't we find those jade pendant fragments now?"
Lu Tan, who was very curious, asked again.
"This is tradition."
On the side, Shi Buwen said simply.
"oh."
Lu Tan responded and then used [True Sight] to scan the room.
For a moment, he saw a thick black mist seeping out of the corner of the house. The mist was like the pollution on the hiking trail, but it was stronger and richer than that pollution. The pollution slowly flowed out and flowed outside, seemingly
, the pollution on the hiking trail overflows from this gym.
There is a certain location where these pollutions condensed, and Lu Jian guessed that this might be where the fragments of the jade pendant were.
However, it was not convenient for him to act in broad daylight, so Lu Tan only remembered a few locations he saw.
In the afternoon, everyone started to move around, looking for clues.
Only the blind man Zhang sat there.
"Mr. Zhang, don't you go and see this courtyard?"
Lu Tan asked.
"I'm just a blind man. I can't see what the courtyard looks like. I'll leave it to you young people."
Blind Zhang seemed to be giving up, but his movements did not appear to be directionless, as if he had already seen where something was.
The old man picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.
"If you are interested in this place, I suggest you go to the worship hall. You may be able to learn something there."
Blind Zhang pointed at the somewhat out-of-place buildings in the courtyard.
Lu Tan thanked the other party, walked through the yard full of decayed leaves, glanced at the building, and then walked in.
Inside, Lu Jian saw a statue of a god.
"This is definitely not serious."
Lu Tan muttered to himself when he saw the appearance of the statue.

There are only two updates today. There are too many things at work and home in the past two days. I will make up for them later!
