Chapter 679: Deeply Hit, Zhang Huaiyi Wants to Counterattack
It was late at night, and the Tianshi Mansion was silent.
Zhang Huaiyi came down from the back mountain at a very fast speed. He reached the door in one go. Just as he was about to go in, he suddenly found a huge shadow behind him.
Zhang Huaiyi's footsteps suddenly stopped, and his body tightened almost subconsciously, and a faint golden light emerged from his body.
The golden light was very faint, and it was difficult to detect with the naked eye during the day, but it was quite conspicuous in the dark rainy night.
After hearing Zhang Zhiwei's voice coming from behind him, Zhang Huaiyi restrained the golden light, turned around slowly, and saw that it was Zhang Zhiwei, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Brother, you are not sleeping at night, what are you doing wandering around, you scared me!"
This is not a lie. Anyone who has an unperceivable existence behind him without any signs in the middle of the night will be scared.
Zhang Huaiyi is not used to such a Zhang Zhiwei.
In the past, Zhang Zhiwei was as dazzling as a lion. No matter where he went, his figure, temperament, and even the Qi he exuded from his body were eye-catching. He was a crane that stood out from the crowd.
Therefore, as long as Zhang Zhiwei did not deliberately restrain himself, he could sense Zhang Zhiwei's Qi from a long distance.
But since Zhang Zhiwei completed the Saint Thief, he became one with the natural world, and his Qi could no longer be sensed.
Just like just now, if Zhang Zhiwei did not make a sound, he would not have noticed that there was someone behind him.
Zhang Zhiwei looked at Zhang Huaiyi who pretended to be relaxed.
He had a unique vision and could see through many extremely subtle things, but his eyes were mostly on himself, rarely on others, and he rarely explored Zhang Huaiyi.
But just now, he had a whim to look at Zhang Huaiyi, and he did not expect that he saw something interesting when he looked at him.
He discovered all the little movements of Zhang Huaiyi from the time he was called by him to the time he turned around.
At first, when Zhang Huaiyi heard his voice, he did not put away the golden light, but restrained it.
Although the golden light on the surface of his body disappeared, it actually did not. It was just gathered inside the body, still covering the skin and internal organs.
At the same time, his body was still tense, his feet were slightly apart, and he was ready to launch a thundering attack at any time.
It was not until he turned around and saw himself clearly and confirmed his identity that he completely relaxed.
However, it was only on the surface that he relaxed. If you look deeper, it is not difficult to see that the Qi in his body is still in a state of readiness. Once there is any situation, he can react quickly.
This seemingly tense state should not be hostile to himself, but his normal state. No matter who he faces, he is in this state...
Zhang Zhiwei thought to himself, I didn't expect that this big-eared thief had a lot of drama under his seemingly calm surface.
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhiwei seemed to have some ideas about the Valley God that was transmitted to Zhang Chulan through Feng Baobao.
On the surface, it does not seem to restrict Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao like the Tianshi Degree and the Nathan God Tree, but instead brings the ability of the gods.
But if you think about it carefully, maybe there is.
Zhang Chulan is a deep-minded little yinbi, and his mind is even heavier than Zhang Huaiyi. Zhang Huaiyi is introverted and deep, while he is extroverted and deep. These are two extremely contradictory characteristics, but in him, they are unusually harmonious.
This kind of person, in theory, should find it difficult to risk his life for others, let alone abandon himself.
Just as he said, without the spirit of contribution, doing less and getting more, and getting something for nothing, that is the ideal.
But for Feng Baobao, he can calculate anyone, including himself. What is the source of his feelings for Feng Baobao? Is it the same love that Elijah has for King Nathan? Definitely not.
At the same time, Feng Baobao is the same to Zhang Chulan. Zhang Chulan asked him not to move, and she would rather be shot to death by a flying knife than move, but considering Feng Baobao's character, this is possible.
In fact, considering their experiences, Zhang Chulan risked his life for Feng Baobao, and if you think about it carefully, it actually makes sense.
But if the relationship between them is extended to Zhang Huaiyi, it certainly doesn't make sense.
What kind of person is Zhang Huaiyi? ! A person who is quite vigilant even at his doorstep.
A person who has practiced in Longhu Mountain for many years, and his master and fellow apprentices treat him very well, but he hides everything, and even his master can't fully trust him.
For such a person, would he say that he completely trusts Feng Baobao the first time he sees Feng Baobao? ! And he still emphasizes it.
This is too unreasonable. He can't completely trust his master and fellow apprentices who have been with him day and night for many years. Why should he completely trust a stranger who he hasn't seen for decades?
Unless... he left some hidden hand or some bond in this person that he can absolutely trust, and he is sure that this person will do what he wants.
If it is said that the Valley God in Zhang Chulan's body and Feng Baobao are related to Wu Gensheng, does Zhang Huaiyi have the ability to intervene?
The answer is yes!
He said that what he had obtained had surpassed Wu Gensheng.
He could even transcend the restrictions that Wu Gensheng had planted in the bodies of the eight strange skills owners, and told the secret to Tian Jinzhong, which showed that he had cracked Wu Gensheng's ability.
Then, he modified the restrictions that Wu Gensheng had left in his body, added some of his own ideas, passed them to Feng Baobao, and then passed them to Zhang Chulan through Feng Baobao. Wouldn't there be an invisible bond between the two?
Could it be that... Zhang Chulan in the plot is actually the same as Elijah on Nathan Island. His every move is actually carried out under the arrangement and planning of Zhang Huaiyi.
And the biggest variable in Zhang Huaiyi's plan may be his senior brother.
If he really passed the Heavenly Master degree to Zhang Chulan in the plot, then all his arrangements would be in vain.
But it is also possible that it is actually in Zhang Huaiyi's plan. After all, becoming a Heavenly Master, everything in the past will be over, and Zhang Chulan will be safe.
Zhang Zhiwei looked at Zhang Huaiyi, who looked plain and honest. If he didn't know some plots, he would never have thought that this guy who looked like a big-eared Tutu was so thoughtful.
So, what is Zhang Huaiyi thinking about now?
Zhang Zhiwei just sighed secretly. He didn't have too many ideas to explore what Zhang Huaiyi was thinking.
He reached out and patted Zhang Huaiyi on the shoulder, comforting him:
"Huaiyi, do you feel insecure?"
"I'm used to it. I've been controlling the Qi in my body for many years, so I can't help it!"
Zhang Huaiyi couldn't see what Zhang Zhiwei was thinking. He scratched his head and smiled. Then he combed the Qi in his body, completely relaxed, and continued:
"Brother, it's you who are not familiar with the Qi, which makes people feel uncomfortable."
"Then get used to it slowly!" Zhang Zhiwei said: "Speaking of which, you have a strong control over Qi. Isn't it because you are like this all the time?"
"It's possible!" Zhang Huaiyi said.
"Then keep it up!" Zhang Zhiwei said. Zhang Huaiyi's words just now reminded him of Zuo Menzhang.
The reason why Zuo Menzhang is so powerful is inseparable from his decades of maintaining reverse life.
Zhang Huaiyi's extraordinary control over the methods of magic is closely related to his constant control of the Qi in his body and his vigilance.
It seems that practicing is the same as doing things. You can't be like Wu Gensheng, who is blessed by nature and can practice while lying down. You have to be a scroll king like Zuo Menzhang and Zhang Huaiyi...
"By the way, senior brother, why don't you rest in the middle of the night? What are you doing?" Zhang Huaiyi looked at him with a suspicious look, "Did you secretly practice somewhere again?"
"I went to the private residence to see the master, what about you?" Zhang Zhiwei asked, "Why did you go to the back mountain?"
"I..." Zhang Huaiyi's eyes flickered, and he said, "The thunder in the back mountain was very loud tonight, which made it difficult for me to enter a state of concentration, so I got up and practiced for a while. Senior brother, do you know what happened in the back mountain?"
He asked this question, but in fact he had a vague answer in his heart.
Previously, when they noticed the big noise in the back mountain, most of the Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain either thought it was a natural phenomenon or that the master was practicing the complete thunder method.
But Zhang Huaiyi's first reaction was, could it be that his senior brother had done something weird again? !
With this idea in mind, he hurried to Zhang Zhiwei's room, but found no one.
Zhang Zhiwei had been deducing Qimen Dunjia with Zhou Sheng these days, and Zhang Huaiyi hurried to find Zhou Sheng again.
Zhou Sheng was too exhausted from the previous deductions and changes, and was sleeping soundly, and the thunder did not wake him up.
Zhang Huaiyi saw that Zhou Sheng was sleeping, but Zhang Zhiwei was not seen, and he was more certain of his guess, so he quickly ran to the back mountain.
However, there was still some distance from the Tianshi Mansion to the top of the back mountain, and he was not as close as Lu Ci, and when he went to the back mountain, Zhang Zhiwei's thunder tribulation had already started for a while.
Zhang Zhiwei's thunder tribulation seemed fierce, but it didn't last too long. When Zhang Huaiyi rushed over, it had ended and returned.
Zhang Huaiyi only saw the devastated mountaintop and the large areas of forests around it that were struck by lightning and burned by fire.
Such a big noise could never be caused by nature. Even if the master practiced the complete Five Thunders Law, he would not have created such a scene.
Could it be that all this was done by my senior brother... Holding this question, Zhang Huaiyi explored the back mountain for a while.
He was a very meticulous person. Not long after, he found some very strange traces on the ground not far from the top of the mountain.
Zhang Huaiyi had fought with Lu Ci and quickly determined that these traces were left by Ruyi Jin, and they should have been left when the fire was extinguished.
Thinking of Lu Ci's presence, Zhang Huaiyi was more certain of his previous thoughts. He continued to look for it, and soon found Lu Ci carrying a hoe and digging in the field.
Zhang Huaiyi observed in secret for a while, but did not disturb Lu Ci from digging the field. He was not the type to speak his mind directly. Moreover, even if he wanted to ask questions, he should go directly to his senior brother to ask, and he would definitely get the answer.
So, he quietly returned and bumped into Zhang Zhiwei at the door.
Zhang Huaiyi asked indirectly what happened in the back mountain, and Zhang Zhiwei did not hide anything and said bluntly:
"I was practicing in the back mountain before, and the noise was a little bit loud!"
"The noise was a little bit loud..." Zhang Huaiyi remembered the scene of the upside-down cloud mountain and the continuous thunder roaring that he had seen before, and was speechless: "You call that just a little bit loud?!"
"That's about right, I have been very restrained!" Zhang Zhiwei said.
In order to avoid too much impact, he did not stand on the top of the mountain to pass the tribulation, but directly sank into the clouds. If he was on the top of the mountain, the thunder and lightning would pour down, and the scene would definitely be more terrifying.
That's called restraint? If you don't restrain yourself, you can't go to heaven? ! Zhang Huaiyi complained in his heart.
Immediately, he asked hurriedly: "What are you doing in the back mountain? Why are you making such a big noise?"
"Practicing Kung Fu!" Zhang Zhiwei said casually.
"Practicing Kung Fu, what Kung Fu?" Zhang Huaiyi's heart skipped a beat, and thinking of a certain possibility, he lost his voice and said, "Did the master pass on the complete thunder method to you?!"
In his understanding, only the complete thunder method that combines one's own true Qi with the creation of heaven and earth can cause such a big change in the celestial phenomena.
"Not really, the complete thunder method is only passed on to the Heavenly Master, and the master is still fine." Zhang Zhiwei said, "Just survived a thunder disaster!"
"What is a thunder disaster?" Zhang Huaiyi was puzzled.
"The thunder disaster is one of the three disasters."
"Isn't that a legendary thing?" Zhang Huaiyi was shocked.
"Legendary things don't mean they don't exist!"
"Then how did you avoid the thunder disaster, senior brother?" he asked hurriedly.
"Why do you want to hide? Isn't it enough to face the disaster?"
"You don't hide from natural disasters? It's written in the Taoist books that hiding from the three disasters is good and bad!"
"Three disasters are good and bad. If you hide from the bad, you are hiding from the good. Fortune is sought in danger. The bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish. How can we cultivators be timid? If we want to escape from everything, one day, we will have nothing to avoid!"
"I still think that we should be cautious in doing things. There is no perfect plan and we can't take risks. Senior brother, please tell me the details and gains of your experience in the thunderstorm!"
Faced with this kind of thing, even Zhang Huaiyi couldn't calm down. He stopped beating around the bush and started asking questions directly.
This is not something shameful. Zhang Zhiwei naturally told Zhang Huaiyi about it.
After listening to Zhang Zhiwei's story, Zhang Huaiyi's face changed several times, from shock and disbelief at the beginning to a complicated face later.
Although his own failure was heartbreaking, his senior brother's progress was even more heartbreaking.
Finally, he forced a smile and returned to the room in a state of despair.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
That night, Zhang Zhiwei sorted out his own situation and made drastic changes to himself with the power of thunder. Some places were definitely not perfect, and he needed some time to recuperate and strengthen his foundation.
That night, Zhang Huaiyi rarely did not practice. He was thinking about how his senior brother had made such great progress, and the gap seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. How could he make up for it?
If he continued to stay on the mountain, the gap would only get bigger and bigger. Perhaps he would have to go down the mountain to experience it and find his own opportunity like his senior brother did before.
