"Why are you here?"
Zhang Zhiwei stood up and opened the door. Tian Jinzhong walked in, looking around from time to time.
"Don't look, there's nothing. Master cast a spell and came back on a crane, empty-handed!"
Zhang Zhiwei said that every time he went down the mountain, he would bring back some new and interesting things for his fellow disciples.
Tian Jinzhong was not disappointed: "It's okay if you don't have any. Then, brother, tell us about your experience this time, such as what new things you saw, what delicious food you ate, and what fun things you played..."
"That's a lot!"
Zhang Zhiwei briefly recounted his experiences during his descent from the mountain, from beheading bandits, to encountering a ghost bear, to entering the provincial capital, riding a train, and killing traffickers...
Tian Jinzhong was fascinated by what he heard, especially when he heard about bandits and human traffickers. He gritted his teeth, rolled up his sleeves, and wished he could be there at that time.
After all, he is still a young man of fourteen or fifteen years old. Even if he is a young Taoist priest practicing Taoism in the mountains, who doesn't have a dream of killing one person every ten steps, leaving no trace in a thousand miles, leaving after the task is completed, and hiding his body and name?
What's more, their Zhengyi Sect does not shy away from practicing in the secular world. Some Taoist priests with a strong sense of chivalry even specialize in fighting for justice, punishing evildoers, and exorcising demons.
For example, in many strange stories with scholars and fox spirits as the protagonists, there is often a stinky ox-nosed man who is ignorant of romance and is obsessed with slaying demons and breaking up mandarin ducks.
These stinky bastards, one by one, are all Taoist priests of the Zhengyi Sect, because only Taoist priests of this sect love to meddle in other people's affairs.
As for the Taoist priests who live in seclusion in the mountains and forests and are indifferent to worldly affairs and have an immortal demeanor in many people's impressions, they are actually from the Quanzhen lineage.
The Taoists of this lineage pursue immortality and ascension to heaven. As long as the trivial matters in the martial arts world do not affect them, they will not intervene even if they beat their brains out.
Just like the birthday celebration of Old Master Lu from the Lu family this time, not a single Taoist priest from the Quanzhen Sect came, clearly showing that they would not interfere in the affairs of the martial arts world.
Of course, this does not mean that the Quanzhen Taoists do not benefit the world. After all, their pursuits and ideas are different.
But in reality, how many people can truly remain indifferent to their own actions? Humans are not plants or trees, so who can be heartless? When the world is in chaos and all lives are suffering, the body can hide in the mountains and forests, but can the heart hide?
Therefore, these Quanzhen Taoists who believe in seclusion and cultivation without caring about worldly affairs often put aside their worldly desires, put aside their pure hearts and desires, carry their swords and go down the mountains to save the people in the most difficult times.
Hiding in the mountains in prosperous times and carrying swords to save the people in troubled times is a portrayal of them.
…
"Brother, are there many bandits and human traffickers at the foot of the mountain? When will you take us down the mountain and let them see the methods of our Tianshi Mansion!" Tian Jinzhong rolled up his sleeves and said indignantly.
"Why are you in such a hurry? There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Believe it or not, I will kill you until you are tired of holding on." Zhang Zhiwei said with a smile.
"Brother, of course I believe what you say. When the time comes, we will follow you, be your right-hand men and protect you. Hahahaha..." Tian Jinzhong said with a smile.
"By the way, senior brother, when extraordinary people gather together, there must be competition among the younger generation. Did you encounter any tough opponents this time?" Lin Huaiyi said beside him.
Lin Huaiyi was later known as Zhang Huaiyi. At this time, Zhang Jingqing had not yet taught him the Five Thunders Method and given him the surname "Zhang", so he still used his original surname.
His original surname was Lin, but he later changed his name to Zhang Xilin, which is homophonic to "Xilin", and it was also to commemorate his previous surname.
"Senior brother, you are the best among the younger generation in Longhu Mountain. How could you possibly encounter a tough opponent? Right, senior brother?!" said the little fanboy Tian Jinzhong.
"Of course. Come, come, let me tell you about the process of this competition. This time, I, Senior Brother, have really spread the reputation of Longhu Mountain."
"Brother, please tell me quickly, brother, please tell me quickly!" Tian Jinzhong pricked up his ears, and Lin Huaiyi also looked curious.
"My first opponent was Lu Jin, a disciple of the famous Immortal Daying, the leader of the Trinity Sect..." Zhang Zhiwei began to vividly describe the simple process of how he defeated Lu Jin.
"What?! Senior Brother, you actually defeated Immortal Daying's direct disciple with a single move. That kid named Lu Jin was so upset that he was crying and making a fuss, so pitiful!"
When Tian Jinzhong heard that Zhang Zhiwei defeated Lu Jin with one move, he immediately became excited.
"Hahaha, keep a low profile, don't be too serious about basic exercises, it's better not to publicize this kind of thing too much!" Zhang Zhiwei laughed.
"Brother, please tell me the details. What move did you use to defeat the opponent? Thunder method? Does this mean that the thunder method of our Tianshi Mansion is much more powerful than the third level of Nisheng of the Sanyi Sect?"
Tian Jinzhong said excitedly, as the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts, who doesn't want his martial arts to be better than others?
"Well..."
Zhang Zhiwei pondered for a moment and said, "I didn't use thunder magic to defeat Lu Jin, so it's hard to tell the details!"
"You didn't use thunder magic?" Tian Jinzhong clapped his hands, instantly understanding. He said excitedly, "Brother, you're amazing. You defeated the opponent just by using the Golden Light Curse. Does this mean that our Golden Light Curse is more powerful than the Sanyi Sect's Reverse Life Triple?"
"Well..." Zhang Zhiwei continued to ponder: "I didn't use the Golden Light Mantra either!"
".Ah?!" Tian Jinzhong was stunned. "Senior Brother didn't even use the Golden Light Mantra. Does this mean that the Trinity Sect is just a name?"
"Be careful with your words. We have a pretty good relationship with the Trinity Sect. If the master hears this, you'll be in trouble!" Zhang Zhiwei reminded.
"I understand, I understand, hehehe... I get it. It must be because my senior brother is too powerful, so he defeated the guy named Lu Jin without even using the Golden Light Spell!" The little fanboy Tian Jinzhong knows how to draw inferences from one example.
Lin Huaiyi next to him seemed to be thinking about something, wondering if his senior brother was too arrogant and didn't use the Golden Light Curse and Thunder Magic, so even though he defeated Lu Jin in one move, he was also injured?
He never doubted Zhang Zhiwei's strength, but he also never doubted Zhang Zhiwei's ability to commit suicide.
"By the way, senior brother, you often practice martial arts with us and know us very well. Tell me, if Huaiyi and I were to fight, how many moves would it take to make Lu Jin cry?" Tian Jinzhong laughed.
You are a little bit arrogant... Zhang Zhiwei complained in his heart and began to speculate, how does the strength of Tian Jinzhong and the big-eared thief compare to Old Lu?
Tian Jinzhong is a bit mysterious, and there is a high probability that he cannot beat Lao Lu, unless he is given some special training.
As for the big-eared thief, this guy is timid and never competes with anyone. He keeps his skills hidden very well. Zhang Zhiwei can't tell how strong he is.
However, defeating Lu Jin should not be a problem. After all, regardless of strength, in terms of cunning, the Big Eared Thief is far superior to Old Lu.
When Lin Huaiyi heard Tian Jinzhong dragging him to compete with Lu Jinbi, he quickly said:
"Brother Tian, please don't take me with you. I have so little Taoist skill, how can I show it off? If we really get into that kind of situation, I'm afraid I'll bring shame to the Tianshi Mansion!"
