Chapter 690: Being a Taoist Priest Without "Morals"

Afterwards, Zhang Zhiwei asked about the recent situation in the Northeast.

Although the Tiantong Hall had basically evacuated Liaodong, the Gao family and the Hu Tianbiao Hall worshipped by the Gao family remained there.

And Hu Tianbiao, after the last incident, under the instigation of Liu Kunsheng, also joined the Tiantong Hall and became a hall immortal.

Hu Tianbiao did bring some news to Zhang Zhiwei. In the Northeast, the Japanese pirates were very dissatisfied with Marshal Zhang.

Moreover, because Zhang Zhiwei had killed too many high-ranking Japanese pirates in several actions, some newly transferred young and strong factions were not as easy to talk to as the previous Japanese pirates. They were very tough and constantly put pressure on Marshal Zhang.

Marshal Zhang's previous way of dealing with the Japanese pirates was no longer feasible, and the two sides were on the verge of falling out.

The head of the Gao family predicted that there would be major changes in the Liaodong region in the near future, and there might even be a war.

"Since we know that there might be a war,"

Zhang Zhiwei listened and felt that some major events were about to happen, although there was a deviation in time.

However, it is difficult for him to reverse this kind of situation. He can't go to the northeast to be a personal bodyguard for Marshal Zhang. Marshal Zhang and him don't have such a relationship.

As for the relationship between Marshal Zhang and him, to put it bluntly, it's nothing more than he is going to the northeast to do some things, and Marshal Zhang provides him with some conveniences. The essence is just mutual use and win-win.

Moreover, there is another point. Even if he goes, it is hard to say that he can save the collapsing building.

After all, when the situation is completely corrupted, it is definitely not something that can be supported by one person.

Under the torrent of the rolling trend, no matter how strong the individual's power is, he can only add fuel to the flames, and cannot go against the will of heaven.

From ancient times to the present, Zhang Jiao and Wu Hou, many great figures who go against the will of heaven, have ended up in a bleak end.

Zhang Zhiwei can kill evil people and eliminate Japanese pirates for a thought, and be chivalrous and righteous.

But if he really wants to separate the current Tao from himself and put it on saving the world, and then build a world of this and that, he can't do it, and this is not the Tao he seeks.

However, considering the friendship of the previous cooperation, Zhang Zhiwei still asked Hu Tianbiao to remind Marshal Zhang.

Let him not only be careful of the assassination of the Japanese pirates, but also be careful of the conspiracy of his own people.

After explaining, Zhang Zhiwei cut off the contact with Hu Tianbiao.

Then, he got up from under the crooked tree, waved his hand, and left Tianmen Peak with the farewell of the crooked tree.

As soon as he returned to the Tianshi Mansion, Lu Jin came to him to ask about the problem of the Saint Thief.

Now Lu Jin can already use the Saint Thief skillfully, but when using it with the reverse life, he has a sense of obscurity.

This made him very uncomfortable, and he couldn't wait to control both, and then go to Lu Ci to get back the place.

But the thing about cultivation is that the more you want, the less you get. After trying hard to study it, he came to Zhang Zhiwei.

Zhang Zhiwei listened to Lu Jin's description, thought for a moment, and gave him some advice.

In fact, Lu Jin's problem was not a problem at all. The reason for this was that he did not control Qi well enough.

After all, the three levels of reverse birth are a very complex and precise ability in the trajectory of Qi.

And precision not only represents powerful ability, but also often represents weakness. Once there is a problem in any link, it is easy to collapse like a domino.

And Lu Jin is a little short of the control of Qi. He doesn't feel it when he uses a single method, but once he uses it together, there will be problems.

As for how to solve the problem... Zhang Zhiwei's advice to him is to ask Zhang Huaiyi for advice.

For this kind of thing, he really doesn't have any good way. After all, he has never encountered this problem.

To use a method, isn't it possible to do it at a glance and practice it? Where is the difficulty? I can't see it at all.

It was really difficult for him to give a solution to a problem he had never encountered.

The big-eared thief was very good at this, and he should be able to give Lu Jin a better answer.

"Brother Huaiyi looks inconspicuous, but he has this ability?" Lu Jin was surprised.

He knew that Zhang Huaiyi was powerful, but he had no idea how powerful he was. In addition, Zhang Zhiwei was there, so he asked Zhang Zhiwei when he had any questions, so he never asked Zhang Huaiyi for advice.

Zhang Zhiwei said: "This kid is very secretive. If you have any questions in the future, you don't have to ask me for advice, especially in terms of technical control. It's more useful to ask him than me!"

"Then I'll go ask brother Huaiyi now!" Lu Jin walked away doubtfully.

After sending Lu Jin away, Zhang Zhiwei went to the vegetarian hall to get some food. Although he practiced the saint thief and could eat the immortal gods, he still kept some of his past living habits.

He ate the food he was supposed to eat and drank the wine he was supposed to drink, and he was not affected too much.

In his hands, the Saint Thief was just a means to complete his own three talents, but it was not enough to settle down.

After dinner, Zhang Zhiwei went to the Taoist Canon Hall to read the Taoist Canon for a while. Reciting Taoist classics was also one of his frequent things.

These Taoist classics may not allow him to gain any Tao and reason on the spot, but they will settle down and become his foundation.

One day, when the opportunity comes, he will suddenly realize and accumulate knowledge. All the sedimented and puzzled things in the past will be unlocked.

Zhang Zhiwei has experienced this situation several times, and each time he has benefited a lot and made considerable progress.

Therefore, reading the Taoist Canon frequently is also one of his compulsory courses during meditation.

After reading the Taoist Canon, Zhang Zhiwei met a few fellow apprentices as soon as he went out, and he boasted to them for a while.

Although some of the things had been said once, perhaps Zhang Zhiwei had a talent for telling stories, and the fellow apprentices could listen to them with relish every time.

This made Zhang Zhiwei secretly think that if one day his master asked him to put away his tricks and go down the mountain to gain experience, maybe he wouldn't have to be a liar and tell fortunes.

He could be a storyteller and tell ordinary people about his past experiences, and maybe he could live a prosperous life.

After telling some interesting stories in the martial arts world, Zhang Zhiwei stretched himself and began to reflect on himself three times a day, tempering his life, and living a simple and boring life.

Time flies, and a period of time has passed.

During this period, major events happened in the martial arts world and even in the big situation, but they had nothing to do with Zhang Zhiwei, and he did not participate in them.

And the fact that Zhang Zhiwei killed Liang Ting also spread in the martial arts world, especially after the Jianghu Xiaozhan announced the cause of Liang Ting's death and the details of it, it caused quite a stir in the martial arts world.

In fact, the people in the martial arts world were not surprised that Zhang Zhiwei could kill Liang Ting. After all, the little Taoist priest had both strength and reputation. No one would be surprised if he killed anyone, even Wu Gensheng, the acting head of Quanxing.

What surprised them was that Liang Ting died so miserably, so cowardly, and so powerless. According to the description given by Jianghu Xiaozhan, Liang Ting had almost no room for resistance in Zhang Zhiwei's hands and was defeated and killed.

You should know that Liang Ting was a double-material grandmaster who slaughtered his entire family alone.

Even if the people in the martial arts world looked down on Liang Ting's character, no one looked down on Liang Ting's strength.

But who would have thought that such a powerful existence would be like a chicken and a dog in front of the little Taoist priest.

How powerful should the little Taoist priest be?

Is he a human being, or has he become a fairy or a god?

For a time, a discussion about whether the little Taoist priest had become a fairy was set off in the martial arts world.

During their discussion, some people recalled the scene in Tiantai Sect where Zhang Zhiwei ascended to the sky by stepping on a nine-headed lion.

At that time, there were rumors in the martial arts world that he was the reincarnation of the Eastern Qinghua Emperor, so he could ride a nine-headed lion.

However, because this rumor was too bizarre, it did not cause much trouble. But this time, after Zhang Zhiwei killed Liang Ting, the rumor that he was the reincarnation of the Eastern Qinghua Emperor rose again.

Some people even began to set up lewd temples and wild sacrifices in his name, worshipping statues of his appearance and cheating everywhere.

Some of them were very large, so large that they generated a lot of faith power, which made Zhang Zhiwei discover the clues.

Most of Zhang Zhiwei's faith power came from Tiantong Hall.

And the faith of Tiantong Hall basically came from two places.

One was Huang Liuye's Tiantong Medical Hall, and the other was Wang Ai's Tiantong Church.

Tiantong Medical Hall mainly treats diseases, while Tiantong Church mainly provides church schools and church factories, and they all do good things to save lives and heal the wounded.

So his beliefs are relatively pure, and now a large group of mottled and messy beliefs suddenly appeared, and Zhang Zhiwei almost noticed it immediately.

After reading this part of the beliefs and knowing the cause and effect, Zhang Zhiwei mentioned it to everyone and planned to destroy those large obscene temples and wild sacrifices.

When Lu Ci heard it, he was immediately dissatisfied. How could Zhang Zhiwei be troubled to do such a trivial matter in person?

He took the initiative to volunteer to do it.

In fact, he was a little impatient. During this period, he went to three points every day, hoeing the land at night to improve his life cultivation, practicing skills during the day, and sleeping in the morning and evening.

Although his strength has been steadily improving, this kind of windless and danger-free life of cultivation is really too dull. He can't wait to go down the mountain to find a few opponents to try his skills.

If you don't return to your hometown, it's like walking in brocade clothes at night. It's the same if you don't use your skills after practicing.

Since Lu Ci wanted to go, Zhang Zhiwei let him go.

When Lu Ci went down the mountain, he wanted to take Lu Jin with him. They were typical enemies on the surface, but brothers inwardly.

Lu Jin wanted to go, but his practice had reached a critical point, and he was only one step away from a breakthrough, so he declined Lu Ci's invitation and said he would go together next time.

When Lu Ci saw that Lu Jin was not going, he changed his face instantly, ridiculing him for being useless and not being as good as himself in practice all day long. When he came back, he would definitely give him a good beating and spur him on.

Lu Ci's wild words made Lu Jin furious, and he vowed to beat him to a pulp when he came back.

The two parted unhappily. Lu Jin went back to practice with all his strength, while Lu Ci went down the mountain to cut down trees and destroy temples.

As for the others, Zhang Huaiyi was still rolling desperately, but he rarely practiced and practiced, and he didn't show off his skills, so outsiders didn't know how much progress he had made.

Tian Jinzhong was also practicing, but he had a lot of questions, and whenever he had a question, he would go to Zhang Zhiwei. Zhang Zhiwei also patiently answered his questions one by one.

Speaking of which, although Tian Jinzhong was only Zhang Zhiwei's junior, 70% to 80% of his skills were taught by Zhang Zhiwei. When a master teaches skills, most of them are just introductions.

Therefore, there has always been a saying in the lineage of Zhang Jingqing in Tianshi Mansion that Senior Brother Zhiwei was taught by the master, and other brothers were taught by Senior Brother Zhiwei.

For this saying, neither Zhang Zhiwei nor Zhang Jingqing felt disgusted. For the Taoist sect, teaching skills on behalf of the master is actually a very common thing.

Lu Jin felt it was a bit incredible, because in Sanyi Sect, almost everyone's cultivation was taught by the master himself, how could it be lazy like Tianshi?

In fact, Zhang Zhiwei was responsible for not only teaching on behalf of the master, but also because he was on duty at Zhengyi Temple, he needed to go out to perform some tasks.

The mission of Tang Sect was to kill people, and the mission of Taoist priests was naturally to kill ghosts and monsters.

It's just that Zhang Zhiwei often went down the mountain without authorization before, and repeatedly missed the tasks assigned to him by Zhengyi Temple, so he basically didn't participate.

After he returned to the mountain this time, he didn't go out for a long time, and Yi Qian, who was in charge of Zhengyi Temple, quickly arranged something for him.

After all, there are not many capable people like Zhang Zhiwei. If he doesn't use him well while he is still on duty at Zhengyi Temple, he won't be able to use him in the future.

Uncle Yi Qian had something to arrange, and Zhang Zhiwei naturally didn't refuse, after all, it was just a piece of cake.

The business of Zhengyi Temple is said to be to exorcise demons, but where in this world do so many demons and monsters come from? More of it is to exorcise evil and perform rituals.

Zhang Zhiwei took on several of them. It was not his turn to do such a small thing as performing rituals.

First, his status was there, and second, he was not good at it.

But perhaps it was the battle of Tiantai Sect that made him famous. Not only was he well-known by people in the circle, but even people outside the circle knew that a real immortal with great supernatural powers had appeared in Longhu Mountain.

Therefore, many people spent a lot of money and asked Zhang Zhiwei to perform a ritual.

For this kind of thing, Yi Qian did not make the decision directly for Zhang Zhiwei, but asked for his opinion. Should he go or not?

After all, it would be embarrassing for a dignified little Taoist priest in Longhu Mountain to bend down for a few stinky money and perform rituals for others!

However, Zhang Zhiwei was not as noble as Yi Qian thought. As for the ritual, if there were demons, he would kill demons, if there were ghosts, he would kill ghosts. If there was nothing, he could just use a sword to make random gestures for a while. What was so difficult about that?

Then, he asked about the price. After learning that he could earn several thousand dollars for one ritual with his status, he readily agreed.

Making money, business, not bad.

In this era, a teacher's monthly salary is only 20 or 30 dollars, a worker's salary is about 10 dollars, and a policeman's salary is only a few dollars...

He went down the mountain to perform a ritual, which was equivalent to their work for most of their lives, so why not go?

Whether he used the money in the disaster-stricken areas to build a few soup kitchens, or in the Tiantong Church to build a few more orphanages or church schools, it would be great and benefit thousands of people.

The face of the little Tianshi can be very valuable, or it can be very worthless!

With this idea in mind, Zhang Zhiwei went down the mountain to perform rituals several times, but he didn't encounter any monsters or ghosts. He just jumped around a few times and earned tens of thousands of dollars.

When Master Yi Qian found out, he was so angry that he slapped his thigh and said that he had a lot of martial virtues, but he didn't have the morals of a Taoist priest, in other words, he had no morals.
