Chapter 622 Returning to Longhu Mountain and Talking with Master
Longhu Mountain, Dashangqing Palace.
In the Zhenren Hall, the water in the teapot was boiling, and a faint tea fragrance filled the courtyard.
Zhang Zhiwei, Zhang Jingqing, and Zhang Yi were sitting on the four sides of the table. Zhang Jingqing sat in the first seat, followed by Zhang Yi, and then Zhang Zhiwei.
Zhang Jingqing took a sip of tea and looked at Zhang Zhiwei. When he went down the mountain before, Zhang Zhiwei said that his thoughts were not clear, so he wanted to go down the mountain for revenge. Now he is back.
"Is the thought clear?"
Zhang Jingqing asked. He didn't care whether Zhang Zhiwei had avenged the Baixians or not. He only cared whether Zhang Zhiwei had calmed down.
"I understand," Zhang Zhiwei said, "The things that disturbed my peace have been eliminated. My disciple is now as calm as still water."
"Just calm down!"
Zhang Jingqing nodded, and then looked at Zhang Yi: "Junior brother, the ancient tea from Tiesha Mountain is really good. It looks ordinary, but it has a hint of Taoism, which can calm people's hearts."
Zhang Yi said: "This tea is taken from a tea tree in front of the Babao Yunguang Cave in Tiesha Mountain. The tea tree is originally ordinary, but it is rumored that Master Guo likes to practice Taoism under the tea tree. Because of the years of listening to Guo The immortal preached and was nourished by Qi. He unexpectedly got Qi. Although his intelligence was not as great as that of animals, he had a preliminary understanding of human nature and embarked on the path of cultivation. Therefore, this tea had such an effect. "
Zhang Jingqing nodded: "It turns out that plants get Qi. No wonder, no wonder..."
Zhang Zhiwei listened to the conversation between his master and uncle without interrupting. He was secretly surprised. Although everything can get Qi, it is rare for flowers, plants and trees to get Qi. He seemed to know only the sacred tree on Nasen Island.
However, the state of the sacred tree seemed to be somewhat different. Rather than saying that it was a plant that got Qi, it was better to say that it was a rule.
As for Guo Zhenren of Tiesha Mountain, he was a being who got the Tao, but he was not from the Zhengyi lineage, but from the Quanzhen Longmen.
Strictly speaking, the lineage of Chu Ma Xian was still started because of him, because Hei Mama, one of the founders of Chu Ma Xian, was his guardian.
And Master Guo was a person in the late Ming Dynasty. In other words, among the existing immortals, no matter how powerful they are, such as the story of Master Hu Tianzu, who participated in the Conferred God War of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and Master Hu Ji who did something extraordinary, they are all made up for the convenience of gaining incense and faith.
The longest-lived horse-riding immortals have existed for about three hundred years, which is about the same as the previous dynasty.
Of course, being able to exist for three hundred years is already very extraordinary.
However, the long-lived horse-riding immortals are still there, but Hei Mama and Master Guo are gone.
"Zhiwei, tell me about your experiences in the mountains these days."
Zhang Jingqing's words interrupted Zhang Zhiwei's thoughts.
Zhang Zhiwei paused, organized his words, and roughly told his master about what he had done in the past few days.
After listening, Zhang Jingqing fell into deep thought. After a moment, he said:
"Everything is as expected by the master. This is a trap. The Japanese pirates are coming for you. This attack is already thrilling. If there is no help from the immortals, your uncle and Aunt Lan, plus the intervention of the Tang Sect, the consequences are unpredictable."
"Moreover, the Japanese pirates will never give up after suffering such a huge loss. I am afraid that they will be more fully prepared for the next attack. Don't interfere in the affairs of the Northeast in the near future."
Zhang Jingqing reminded: "The Japanese pirates are tigers, and Marshal Zhang is also a jackal. They all have their own ulterior motives and selfishness. Don't regard him as a pure patriot. For the next period of time, stay in Longhu Mountain to practice."
"Master, I know!" Zhang Zhiwei naturally knew that Marshal Zhang was not a good man, and even he himself didn't want to have too many entanglements with him.
"By the way, Master, although the leader and elder of the Bihe Mountain Ninjas died this time, there are still some remnants left. What should we do if these Japanese pirates do not know how to advance or retreat and sneak into the pass to take revenge on our Tianshi Mansion?"
Zhang Jingqing glanced at Zhang Zhiwei and said lightly: "The inheritor is in the front, and the bearer is in the back. The inheritor means that the ancestors acted according to the will of heaven, and the bearer means that the ancestors failed the later generations."
Buddhism talks about cause and effect, and Taoism talks about inheritance and responsibility. The two are similar, but different. In this sentence, what Zhang Zhiwei did is the inheritor, and if his fellow disciples were retaliated, it would be a loss.
Zhang Zhiwei looked at Zhang Jingqing a little strangely. This sentence is not like the master's style.
"Come on, you say that, but if something really happens, can you bear it? If you are in the wrong, it's fine, but in this case, you have to go to get back the face?" Zhang Yi said.
Then, without waiting for Zhang Jingqing to answer, he changed the subject: "Brother, this time I was in Liaodong, and I suspected that I saw the Zhang family whose ancestral bloodline had awakened."
Zhang Jingqing stopped drinking tea and stared at the clear tea in the teacup in his hand. After a moment, he said: "The one who moved to Liaodong?"
"I'm not sure, but I suspect it is..." Immediately, Zhang Yi told Zhang Jingqing about Zhang Sanjia's story.
Zhang Jingqing was silent for a while: "That lineage values blood the most. They neither marry outside nor marry outside, and are isolated from the world. If he is really a member of the Zhang family, his ancestors were able to move out, and no one cared about his awakening blood, which means that something must have happened to that lineage."
After a pause, Zhang Jingqing continued: "It is normal for something to happen. Blood is always getting thinner and thinner. How can a family and power that rely on the power of blood not be weak today?"
"Who can guarantee that every descendant in the family is a useful talent?"
"Maybe they had problems a long time ago, but we were indifferent, so we didn't pay attention. This time it was just a coincidence."
Hearing this, Zhang Yi said, "Brother, are we going to find this lineage?"
"Why are we looking for them?" Zhang Jingqing asked.
Zhang Yi glanced at Zhang Zhiwei, who was sitting next to him drinking tea, and hesitated to speak. If this bastard heard it, wouldn't it spread it everywhere?
Zhang Jingqing glanced at Zhang Zhiwei and wanted to kick him out, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't do it.
"Just say what you want to say." Zhang Jingqing said.
"Since that lineage has declined, I'm afraid we can't keep the things we once had. Should we take them back?" Zhang Yi asked.
"Whether we take them back or not, will it affect our Tianshi Mansion?" Zhang Jingqing asked.
"It really doesn't affect us, but that's something passed down by our ancestors!" Zhang Yi said.
"What is it?" Zhang Zhiwei said.
Zhang Yi didn't say anything. Although he was very good and caring to Zhang Zhiwei, who made him a big mouth?
Zhang Jingqing, on the other hand, did not choose to hide it and said, "The ancestor Tianshi left us something, you should know it."
"I know." Zhang Zhiwei nodded.
"Tell me about it." Zhang Jingqing said.
"The Tianshi inheritance, the Sanwu Heroic Sword, the Yangping Zhidu Gongyin, and the Zhengyi Mengwei Talisman, these three are also called the Tianshi Three Treasures."
"Have you ever seen these three treasures?" Zhang Jingqing said.
Zhang Zhiwei said: "Among the three treasures, the Zhengyi Mengwei Talisman is the original Taoist talisman. It is on your body, Master."
"And the Yangping Zhidu Gongyin is generally used for rituals or to command ghosts and gods. In the previous legal position assessment, Master ordered Guan Yu, one of the five marshals of the heavenly soldiers on the altar, to come out in a flash. It should be that the Yangping Zhidu Gongyin was used."
"Only the Sanwuxixi Zhanxie Sword I have never seen, but this sword must be enshrined in the Tianshi Mansion, because I can sense its Qi when I occasionally glimpse it."
"The three treasures of the Tianshi are all here, I can't think of anything else?" Zhang Zhiwei said.
Zhang Jingqing listened, smiled, and said: "Sanwuxixi Zhanxie Sword, since it is male and female, there should be two swords. Have you ever seen two?"
Zhang Yi looked at Zhang Jingqing in surprise. When did his senior brother change his nature?
In the past, Zhang Jingqing would not have told Zhang Zhiwei this, but today, perhaps because he had seen Zhang Zhiwei's growth, or perhaps because he was inspired, he did not hide it.
Zhang Zhiwei immediately reacted and said, "It is said that the female sword was suppressed in the Jiegui Well of Heming Mountain to deter the demons and evil spirits in the world, and the male sword existed in the Tianshi Mansion as a token of the inheritance of successive generations of Tianshi. Master means that the female sword of the Three-Five Male-Female Sword of Slaying Evil is not in Heming Mountain, but was taken away by someone from another lineage?"
Zhang Jingqing nodded and said, "That's true."
"What's the use of just holding a sword?" Zhang Zhiwei asked.
Zhang Jingqing said: "The three treasures of the Heavenly Master each have powerful abilities. Let's not talk about the others, just the Three-Five Female and Male Sword of Slaying Evil. This sword looks like raw copper, with a five-section linked hilt. The sword body is faintly engraved with secret runes and the sun, moon and stars. The sword weighs eighty-one taels, symbolizing the eighty-one transformations of the Supreme Lord Lao, and contains the truth of Taoism."
"The truth of Taoism..." Zhang Zhiwei was stunned and asked: "Can this truth reach the sky?"
Zhang Jingqing looked at Zhang Zhiwei in surprise and said: "The truth can reach the sky, but it is just a weapon and cannot reach the sky."
The answer was very straightforward... Zhang Zhiwei said: "Master, can you let me see the male sword of the Three-Five Female and Male Sword of Slaying Evil?"
Zhang Jingqing said unhappily: "The ancestral magic weapon, how can you see it if you want to?"
Zhang Zhiwei was not surprised. If this kind of killing weapon related to the inheritance of the sect was shown to others casually, wouldn't it be similar to King You of Zhou playing with the princes with beacon fires?
"Speaking of which, this sword has not been used many times since ancient times." Zhang Yi said.
"Why?" Zhang Zhiwei asked, "Because our Tianshi Mansion has not encountered many big enemies?"
The reason for asking this is that since he entered the mountain gate, Tianshi Mansion has not suffered any disasters.
Zhang Yi said: "How can there be a power that will last forever? Our Tianshi Mansion is a big tree that attracts the wind. During the changes of dynasties, it has also suffered several disasters. In this chaotic world, the stability you see is only because my senior brother is quite capable."
Perhaps Zhang Jingqing opened the door, Zhang Yi no longer concealed anything, and continued:
"The reason why it is rarely used is that this sword has more ability to exorcise demons. The ancestor Tianshi left it behind, not as a murderous weapon that harms the harmony of heaven."
He looked at Zhang Zhiwei: "You should be familiar with a simple murderous sword. There is one on this trip to the Northeast."
"Uncle Master, are you talking about the leech pill?" Zhang Zhiwei reacted and said.
"The Hirumaru you mentioned is the weapon held by the ninja who attacked me when I was performing the ritual before, right?" Zhang Yi said.
"That one!" Zhang Zhiwei nodded.
"When the ninja attacked me, I blocked his sword with my bodyguard. At that time, I felt that this sword was very evil. There were countless dead souls under the sword, and their resentment was nourishing this sword!" Zhang Yi said.
Zhang Zhiwei nodded: "Indeed, this is a demon sword. It is like a leech. It not only sucks the blood of the host, but also the blood of the dead souls under the sword. The person who holds this sword is called a demon. His mind will be eroded by the sword, and the person killed by this sword will have his soul absorbed. This sword will intercept some of the means of the killed person and feed it back to the demon holding the sword. The more people he kills, the more skills the demon will have."
"Kill people and take away their abilities?" Zhang Yi was surprised. "There are such evil weapons in the world. If he escapes this time, I wonder how much bloodshed he will cause in the future?!"
"That won't happen," Zhang Zhiwei said. "No matter how many methods he knows, he is limited by the meridians and can only use a few at the same time. Even if he knows more abilities, it is difficult to have a decisive effect at some critical moments."
"That's true!" Zhang Yi nodded.
"Moreover, this person is more useful alive than dead in a sense." Zhang Zhiwei said.
"What do you mean?" Zhang Yi asked.
Zhang Jingqing also glanced at him, wanting to know what he thought.
Zhang Zhiwei said: "The ninjas of Bihe Mountain have strong hiding ability. Once they feel that the situation is not right, they are very likely to hide their identities and hide, and then they will find a needle in a haystack."
"And this person has a very special status in Bihe Mountain. The ninjas will not easily give up him and his sword, and will definitely gather around him."
"But this person has a biggest problem, that is, he is eager to kill. Once he kills, the ninjas of Bihe Mountain will hide again, which will be meaningless. This will help us eradicate the ninjas of Bihe Mountain."
"You are a fool, you little brat!" Zhang Yi said in surprise.
"Playing the long line to catch the big fish is a good idea." Zhang Jingqing praised.
"My uncle and master are not unaware of my wisdom!?" Zhang Zhiwei laughed.
"I praised you a few words, and you are still panting!" Zhang Yi said unhappily.
Then he looked at Zhang Jingqing: "Brother wants to ignore it, but what if that line is so weak that it can no longer defend the female sword?"
"Then we will welcome it back!" Zhang Jingqing said in a deep voice.
"That's great!" Zhang Yi nodded and said, "I'll send someone to keep an eye on this."
Zhang Jingqing said, "I'll keep an eye on it too. Is there anything else? If not, go back and take a good rest to recover your mind."
"Master, I still have some things to ask you about cultivation!" Zhang Zhiwei said.
Zhang Jingqing glanced at Zhang Zhiwei and said, "It's rare. What's the matter?"
"Master, I have made a breakthrough in my cultivation, and some problems have also appeared on my body."
Zhang Zhiwei stretched out his hand from under his wide sleeves. The bone ring was thick, but warm and shiny. It didn't look like flesh and blood, but more like topaz.
