Chapter 557: The Big-Eared Thief Takes Action, and a Grudge Spanning a Century

"To do this, you must be alert, followed by strength. Speaking of which, I do have a candidate!" Zhang Jingqing said.

Alertness... A figure with big ears appeared in Zhang Zhiwei's mind. In the entire Longhu Mountain, in terms of alertness, no one could compare to him.

"Who is it?" Zhang Yi asked.

"Zhang Huaiyi!" Zhang Jingqing said.

Zhang Zhiwei showed a look that was indeed the case.

"Zhang Huaiyi sounds a bit familiar," Zhang Yi thought for a moment and then reacted: "That new disciple you recruited with a fake surname, right? Speaking of which, apart from knowing his name, I have no impression of him at all."

Yi Qian said: "I have some impression. My senior brother suddenly said that he would accept another disciple with a fake surname. I thought another Zhang Zhiwei was going to appear, so I secretly observed it, and the result..."

He paused at this point.

"But it doesn't matter!" Zhang Jingqing said.

Yi Qian organized his speech: "His appearance is unattractive and has no bright spots. I really can't figure out why senior brother would accept him as a disciple with a fake surname. Of course, I only looked at him from a distance. Maybe I didn't observe enough and couldn't find anything about him." Highlights.”

What he said was actually very tactful.

"You said he has no bright spots?!" Zhang Jingqing said with a smile: "He has been in Longhu Mountain for some years, and I gave him a fake surname. But between you two, one has no impression of him, and the other thinks he is not good-looking. This is not true. Is that his highlight?”

Zhang Yi reacted: "This boy Shanzang!"

Zhang Jingqing nodded: "Yes, that's why I plan to send him."

Zhang Yi asked again: "How deep does he hide it?"

Zhang Jingqing said: "It's very deep. On the surface, it is ordinary, but in fact, it is sharp. In terms of strength alone, among this generation of disciples, it is only lower than Zhang Zhiwei."

"Only under the dimension?!"

Zhang Yi was immediately surprised.

Although Zhang Zhiwei is the leader among this generation of disciples, it does not mean that he is the senior brother.

Among the disciples of this generation, there are many who are older than Zhang Zhiwei, and some are even more than one round older. It’s just that his methods are the best, so he ranks first.

If his strength is only weaker than Zhang Zhiwei's, it would be extraordinary. This kind of character should shine no matter what sect he is in.

But now, it's hard not to be shocked that they know nothing about him.

Zhang Yi sighed: "Brother, if it's like what you said, then this kid is not simple. You must know that hiding is not a simple matter. Hiding is okay for a while, but it will be easy to hide for many years. After all, we are The master’s disciples are not sticks either.”

"If you want to deceive us, just talking about it won't work. You need to pay attention to every word and deed, every step, and every breath. You have to disguise all the states of your body to the extent that you want to show it to everyone. ”

"This is easier said than done. If you don't hide it enough, it will be exposed. If you hide it too much, it will appear fake. It's really hard to imagine what kind of freak this kid is."

Yi Qian frowned and said, "Senior brother, even though this kid entered our Tianshi Mansion, even though he entered your sect, he still hides his clumsiness. This is because he has a thief in his heart. You gave him a fake surname for this kind of person." , be careful to look away!”

Zhang Jingqing smiled and said: "You can rest assured. Before I accepted him as a disciple with a fake surname, I paid close attention to him for several years. He is actually a reassuring boy, at least much more reassuring than a certain brat." !”

When she said this, Zhang Jingqing glared at Zhang Zhiwei, which made Zhang Zhiwei feel confused and couldn't help but complain in her heart.

Lao Deng, then you are mistaken. From a common rational point of view, you are more reassuring than the big-eared thief.

You don't even know what kind of trouble this guy with thick eyebrows and big ears caused later on. In the end, it was me, the most untrustworthy guy, who came to support you.

Zhang Jingqing didn't know what Zhang Zhiwei was thinking.

He continued: "As for what junior brother said about having a thief in your heart, in my opinion, there is nothing wrong with having a thief in your heart. A thief cannot see the light. A thief has the right idea, the most daring, and the least courage."

"This is nothing, just one of his characteristics. If used properly, it will have miraculous effects. For example, this time, if the person who goes there is too senior and the means are too strong, the other party will be wary. If the person who goes there is too weak, and It makes no sense, this guy Huaiyi is perfect!”

Yi Qian nodded: "Since senior brother has already carefully examined this disciple's character, we don't need to say anything more. We will just let senior brother arrange everything."

Zhang Yi also nodded and said: "If this kid can hide it from us, he must be able to hide it from others too!"

"So, what do you think of Dai Tianshi?" Zhang Jingqing looked at Zhang Zhiwei, who was standing beside him and remained silent.

"Everyone listens to Master, Master has the final say!" Zhang Zhiwei said.

When it comes to the safety of the people in Qingyun Temple, Zhang Zhiwei will not show off his courage and will listen to the arrangements of his elders.

At the same time, he is not too worried about Huaiyi's safety. Although he will not go this time, if Zhang Huaiyi is in his hall and something happens, he can send a "national advisor" to help him.

"Since Dai Tianshi has no objection, let's go and call Huaiyi over. This matter is dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will be doomed. I have to give him some instructions!" Zhang Jingqing waved his hand towards the door and said.

Zhang Zhiwei turned around and went out, while he was thinking about the abilities of the traitor that his master had mentioned.

He makes his soul last forever by absorbing the essence of heaven and earth. He has super recovery ability and likes to eat people. It is really hard not to think of Liuku Immortal Thief.

So is there a connection between the two? …

Zhang Zhiwei thought about it for a while, then shook his head. It was hard to say without personal experience. The Six-Storage Immortal Thief works on the body, while the ability of the traitor works on the soul.

There are traces to follow when it works on the body, but it is a bit illusory when it works on the soul.

For things that can be traced, Zhang Zhiwei can find a corresponding solution.

For example, the Six-Storage Immortal Thief, although this method takes into account longevity, endurance, recovery, and lethality, it seems almost impeccable, but in Zhang Zhiwei's opinion, it is not without countermeasures.

The foundation of the Six-Storage Immortal Thief is the six warehouses, that is, the six internal organs of the human body. For the six internal organs to function normally, the cooperation of the twelve meridians is required.

Based on this theory, if you want to deal with the ability of the Six-Storage Immortal Thief, you only need to accurately destroy his twelve meridians to destroy his means.

For example, if the hand Yangming large intestine meridian is destroyed, the large intestine of the six stores can be destroyed. If the hand Taiyang small intestine meridian is destroyed, the small intestine can be destroyed... If all six stores are destroyed, the Six Stores Immortal Thief will be defeated.

This sounds difficult, but if there is a targeted method, it is not difficult, like the Lu family's Ruyi Jin, which specializes in human internal organs and meridians.

Those who are good at this can even send out multiple forces in one breath, directly destroying a person's twelve meridians. This is one of the reasons why the Lu family can become one of the four major families.

If Ruan Feng, the master of the Six Stores Immortal Thief, meets Lu Ci in the plot, I am afraid he will be finished.

"The Six Stores Immortal Thief is easy to say, but how is the ritual of cultivation arranged for this ability that acts on the soul? Through the physical body, or through visualizing something? I really want to see it!" Zhang Zhiwei said in his heart.

Then, he remembered the second ability of the traitor. He could cast a talisman with just ordinary talisman paper without complicated rituals, which was very similar to the Tongtian Talisman.

But after being disqualified from granting talismans, many high-quality talismans could not be cast, and he could only practice Dharma teaching. In this respect, he was not as good as the Tongtian Talisman.

In general, it felt like a beggar version of the Tongtian Talisman.

"Did this person master a channel similar to the eight strange skills? Or..." Zhang Zhiwei looked back at the Great Immortal Hall, "Is it related to the Heavenly Master Degree?"

At the same time, in Wen County, a warlord's mansion was heavily guarded with guns standing at the door.

This was a four-entry courtyard. The houses in the courtyard were very neatly repaired. There were three rooms at the innermost part of the courtyard, with a living room, bedroom, and study.

At this moment, there were several green screens in the study, and a beautiful desk was placed in the middle. Pens, ink, paper, and inkstone were neatly arranged, and books were placed on the bookshelf near the wall.

There were two people in the study, one was a young-looking girl in a red skirt, and the other was a young officer wearing a tweed military uniform with his trousers ironed straight.

The officer picked up a roll of white cotton paper and spread it flat on the desk.

The girl in the red skirt put down a stick of ink and picked up the brush, the tip of the brush stayed on the paper without moving.

After a moment, she started to write, the brush moved quickly, the brush was sharp, and she finished it in one go.

The officer stretched his neck to see, and saw four big words written on the paper: "Tao follows nature"!

The officer didn't understand why the girl in the red skirt wrote these four words, and asked the reason.

The girl in the red skirt didn't answer, but just stared at these four words in a daze, her thoughts had returned to a hundred years ago.

She said to her master, the Heavenly Master of that generation:

"Master, it is said that the Great Dao is ruthless. If one is also ruthless, can one better conform to the Great Dao and seek the truth?"

The master told her: "Ruthlessness does not mean tyranny or killing innocent people. Ruthlessness does not mean no emotion, but not having false emotions. It is better to be clear, to be clear and self-illuminating, not to be burdened by external things, and to pay more attention to the regularity of heaven and earth and the order of the four seasons."

She did not speak at the time, but bowed to the master solemnly.

The master didn't look at her, but looked at the Tianmen Mountain facing the Tianshi Mansion, and said softly:

"If the three corpses of greed, anger, and ignorance are not eliminated, and you just pursue the so-called ruthless Dao, then it is not the right way to enter into concentration, but the evil concentration."

"If you can't comprehend the Dao's natural law and the Dao, you might as well practice in the world and be a good person."

"Just remember, do good things and don't ask about the future. The good things you do have no direct relationship with the good or bad things the world gives you."

"If you can really understand and really do it, then the Dao is ruthless and the Dao follows nature!"

She understood it, but she resisted in her heart. She picked up a stone on the ground and threw it at the Tianmen in the distance, saying:

"I can't be that kind of good person."

She was thinking in her heart, since the Dao follows nature is the good things I do in the world, and it has nothing to do with the good or bad things the world gives me, then the bad things I do have nothing to do with the good or bad things the world gives me. Isn't this also the Dao follows nature?

She just thought about this in her heart and never said it out loud, but she always regarded it as the truth.

But a hundred years later, when she saw the words "Tao follows nature" again, she felt a dull pain in her brow, as if the stone had hit her right in the middle of her brow.

She tried to recall the appearance of her master, but found that her memory was already blurry.

She only knew that he was an old man wearing a washed-out blue Taoist robe.

The old man had neatly combed hair and a long, meticulously trimmed beard, with an immortal look, but her face was not clear. It was just that his words were deeply engraved in her memory like a branding iron.

"Old man, I can't do it. I can't follow nature as you said, and I can't stop hating the Tianshi Mansion."

"Before, I always avoided being enemies with the Tianshi Mansion, but I was caught and sealed for a hundred years. Now I am very conflicted. On one hand, I am full of resentment, and on the other hand, I want to escape."

The woman in the red skirt looked at the calligraphy and painting in front of her and thought:

"Then make a choice. After attacking the man nicknamed Little Tianshi, I sent a letter to Longhu Mountain to tell him that my seal had been removed."

"Regarding this seal, not many people in Qingyun Temple take it seriously, and the same should be true for the Tianshi Mansion headquarters."

"If the people in the headquarters have let it go, and have not associated me with the attack on Little Tianshi, and just sent an ordinary Taoist priest to check it out as usual, and don't investigate it further."

"Then I will let go of my grudges, spare the lives of everyone in Qingyun Temple, and continue to lie dormant."

"If the people from Longhu Mountain rush over to me, then Master, please forgive your disciple for being unfilial!"

The woman in the red skirt had a fierce look on her face and tore up the words on the table.

Zhang Zhiwei came to the Tianshi Mansion where he was doing morning lessons.

Taoism, as a religion that has existed for thousands of years, has many rituals, and morning and evening classes are one of them.

In the Tianshi Mansion, this is also called Xuanmen Gongke, which is usually taught by the elders of the sect to the younger generations.

The content of the lectures is quite varied, ranging from mountain, medicine, fate, divination, and physiognomy, which are the five arts of Taoism, to some myths and legends, and the deeds of the ancestors.

It can be said that serious Taoists learn a lot of things and cover a wide range, but people have limited energy and cannot learn all of them, so they often only practice a few of them.

Like Zhang Lingyu in the plot, although he majored in the "mountain" technique among the five arts of Taoism, when Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing were fighting, he could also understand the strange gate and analyze it clearly, all thanks to the Taoist morning and evening classes.

Zhang Zhiwei came to the Tianshi Hall where the morning class was held.

Although most of the lecturers of the morning class are old, it is not absolute. Zhang Zhiwei often goes up to be a lecturer and is very popular among his fellow brothers.

Because the principles he talked about were not as mysterious and difficult to understand as those of many older generations. Most of them were easy to understand and pointed to the key points. In addition, he usually only taught for half a class and boasted in the other half, so everyone liked to listen.

Today, Zhang Zhiwei returned to the mountain. According to the previous management, he must have given a lecture in the morning class and told everyone what he had experienced after going down the mountain.

This was definitely a brand new experience for the brothers who had been practicing hard on the mountain, so they came to the Tianshi Hall early and sat down, but they never thought that it was not Zhang Zhiwei who came to give a lecture, but Zhang Huaiyi.

Zhang Huaiyi has always been a small transparent person in Longhu Mountain.

But during this period, he suddenly emerged like King Zhuang of Chu, who was silent but amazing, learned thunder magic, became a pseudo-disciple, and reached the peak of life in the hearts of many brothers.

Therefore, for Zhang Huaiyi to give a morning class, not only did everyone not have any resistance, but also gave warm applause.

This gave Zhang Huaiyi, the "thief" who had been lurking in the dark but was suddenly exposed to the sun, a little comfort, and his originally uneasy heart settled down.
