Chapter 75 The First Appearance of Soul Reading
[A superhuman's combat strength is not directly proportional to their training age. In many cases, the only standard that determines a superhuman's strength is talent.]
Even if a talented person doesn't cultivate some unparalleled divine skill, and hasn't been practicing for long, they can still make a name for themselves in the world of supernatural beings.
Even if someone without talent is given an unparalleled skill and enough time to cultivate, they still cannot become a powerful superhuman.
Clearly, Zhang Zhiwei belongs to the former category.
His talent was among the best in the entire history of the Celestial Master's Mansion. After only a dozen years of cultivation, he became the strongest superhuman in the mansion besides the previous Celestial Master Zhang Jingqing, and possibly even one of the strongest superhumans in the entire superhuman world.
In his youth, Zhang Zhiwei lost interest in other extraordinary individuals and led a lazy life every day.
Everyone laughed when they saw the disheveled and unkempt Taoist priest in the video.
Was the old Celestial Master this carefree when he was young?
"You can tell from the art style that it belongs to the strong."
Lu Jin of the Lu family has temporarily recovered from the grief of the destruction of the Sanyi Sect and has returned to his previous state.
Whether it's seeking revenge against Wugensheng or causing trouble for Li Muxuan, these are not things he can do right now. He has more important things to accomplish.
Looking at the portrait of the young Zhang Zhiwei, he also laughed.
Lu Jin: Hehe.
Seeing Zhang Zhiwei's gradual decline, his master Zhang Jingqing decided to take him out to see the world, and not let him continue to waste his days in the Celestial Master's Mansion.
Just then, Zhang Jingqing received an invitation from the former head of the Lu family to celebrate the 80th birthday of the old patriarch of the Lu family. Furthermore, since there hadn't been any major wars that year, most of the prominent families in the world of supernatural beings brought their disciples to offer their congratulations.
As the shadowy figures in the video slowly dispersed, what appeared on the screen was an ancient building, which looked like the kind of tiled-roof courtyard houses that used to exist.
Large red lanterns still hung from most of the roof beams, and many children were running around between the houses.
"Huh, this house looks really old. Are there still buildings of this style in the countryside these days?"
Lu Jin slowly narrowed his eyes.
Why does this house look so familiar?
I feel like I've seen this somewhere before.
After a brief narration, the camera finally focused on a large courtyard in the center of the village.
There were more than a dozen tables set up in the courtyard, and a group of people were gathered around the tables chatting and laughing.
Lu Jin's eyes widened as she saw the familiar figure appear in the video!
Isn't this my ancestral home?
Where did this photographic record come from? Did they even have that technology back then?
Although her own memory was already very blurry, Lu Jin couldn't recognize them immediately, but she recognized the old man in red sitting at the top and the middle-aged man at a glance.
They are my own father and grandfather!
There is absolutely no possibility that Lu Jin would mistake one of these two people.
Of the group of young people who emerged at that time, those who are still alive have mostly become powerful figures in their respective regions.
A chubby little boy dressed in red, holding two candied hawthorns, cautiously reached out his hand to another little girl sitting in the seat.
"Hey? You remember me? This... this is for you."
The little girl, annoyed by being called, retorted, "Why is it you again? Why do I see you everywhere! Go away, go away, go away!"
The labels next to the people showed their names and backgrounds.
[Wang Family - Wang Ai, Shaman - Guan Shihua]
Wang Ai stared blankly at the "herself" appearing in the video, rubbing her eyes in disbelief, thinking she must be seeing things.
But no matter how I look at it, that chubby little boy in the video looks just like me when I was a child!
"Huh? Did the anonymous person hire actors to do a scene? How did it turn from text and pictures into a video story?"
"It doesn't quite look like acting... Isn't the kid's acting a bit too good?"
Another little girl next to Guan Shihua teased, "Shihua, how dare you talk to our young master Wang like that?"
Seeing Guan Shihua trying to drive her away, Wang Ai immediately became anxious.
"Hey, Shihua, didn't my dad tell your master last time that our two families should get closer together?"
Upon hearing her master's name, Guan Shihua immediately jumped up.
"Aren't you annoying me?! Get out of here!"
Just as Wang Ai was being looked down upon by Guan Shihua, bursts of laughter suddenly came from beside her.
"Fatty! Just because someone ignores you doesn't mean you can go back. Why are you keeping bothering them?"
"Hahaha! Nobody likes a silly boy!"
Seeing the scene exactly as she remembered, Lu Jin opened her mouth in surprise.
Lu Linglong, standing beside him, was watching the "scenario" unfolding before her eyes with amusement.
"Hey Great-Grandpa, this short film made by the anonymous senior is really good! The house in it looks just like our old house. Who do you think he asked to find out what happened back then? Great-Grandpa, does the plot of this short film remind you of the gathering we had back then?"
Lu Jin licked his dry, coughing lips and said, word by word.
"This isn't just a resemblance; this is exactly what happened in the Lu family compound back then."
"Huh! What did you say, Great-Grandpa?!"
Startled, Lu Linglong paused the video and turned to look in Lu Jin's direction, thinking she had misheard.
"Linglong, haven't you heard? I'm telling you, this video is a recording of my great-grandfather's 80th birthday celebration!"
She was completely bewildered on the spot, and Lu Linglong's little mind was a little confused about what was going on.
What do you mean by "the original video recording"?
Was this filmed by an anonymous person with a camera?
……
Qin Le, who was behind the scenes, was also watching the video of the Lu family compound with great interest.
This was a fragment of memory that he had recently sent a puppet to secretly read from the Lu family compound.
(Adding another patch: the puppet can also use the protagonist's abilities; I forgot this because I wrote it too quickly before~)
While Qin Le was preparing to make a video about Zhang Zhiwei, she suddenly recalled that the scene where Zhang Zhiwei slapped Lu Jin and made her cry in the Lu family compound was an unmissable moment!
He immediately had the doll locate the Lu family's ancestral home and retrieve all the original scenes from inside.
This is also the first video released by Qin Le that records historical footage from the past.
As expected, it had a strong impact on those in the know.
Several people who had participated in the Lu family compound incident immediately recognized that the clips playing in the video were not acting, but rather recordings of their real past events.
Their emotional threshold, which is significantly higher than others, proves that they must be completely bewildered right now.
