Volume 1: Wind Rises in the Mountains and Lakes Chapter 125: Shenwei Hall
The intersection ahead was blocked by ten or twenty people on horseback. The people on the horse are all dressed in black robes, with a thunder and lightning mark on their lapels.
"It turns out they are from Shenwei Hall. They are really non-stop along the way!" Zhen Yuanzi said softly to himself.
"It seems that the Taoist Master knows a lot about Shenwei Hall. You might as well talk about it so that the boy can gain insights!" Lin Yi said.
Does this guy know how to learn from others with an open mind? Zhen Yuanzi twirled his long beard with his hand, glanced at Lin Yi, and saw nothing unusual, then said: "The top of the ice and snow in northern Xinjiang, the top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round, but at the foot of the mountain, there are green trees. The scenery of the four seasons is different, so we are talking about Qishan. However, it is still thousands of miles away. This group of people probably came here after hearing something. There is a kind of thunderous skill, which is quite powerful!”
Lin Yi's eyes flashed and he asked: "What are the details?"
Zhen Yuanzi shook his head and said: "The old Taoist knows very little about what is going on. He only knows that this stunt is like a hidden weapon, which is hard to resist. People in the world generally don't want to provoke them."
"Has Taoist Priest seen the thunderous stunt with his own eyes?" Lin Yi asked.
"No!" Zhen Yuanzi said again: "A few years ago, the junior disciple of the head of the Shenwei Hall did not follow the right path and was expelled from the mountain. This person did all kinds of evil in the world, but no one could control him. I heard that his thunderous skills were so powerful. Infinite and invincible.”
Hearing this, Lin Yi had a strange look on his face. That Shenwei Mountain Man couldn't happen to be the junior brother of that leader! It's just that this person has become ashes. Whether this person is the other person is just an unsolved case.
At this time, among the group of people blocking the intersection, a strong man in his thirties jumped off his horse. He cupped his fists at the Tianlong Sect and others and said: "Lei Bao, the head disciple of Xiaqishan Shenwei Hall, you are polite! Dare to ask? , is an expert from the Tianlong Sect coming here?"
At Meng Shan's signal, Hall Master Liu Zhi dismounted his horse, stepped forward to greet him, and raised his voice: "I am Liu Zhi of the Tiger Dragon Hall of the Tianlong Sect. I don't know what Brother Lei wants to do if he blocks my way." for?"
The Lei Bao from Qishan didn't take it seriously when faced with Hall Master Liu's arrogant expression. He loudly replied: "I have given you an order from the master, and I would like to wait for all the masters here and have something to say to you. I heard that the disciples of the Tianlong Sect are traveling eastward. , I, the Divine Power Hall, don’t dare to have any unreasonable thoughts, let alone offend you all. The master sends his disciples here just to express his feelings!”
Lei Lei waved his hand, and two more people jumped out from behind and came over holding two wooden boxes. He continued:
"The journey ahead for all you masters is difficult and dangerous, and it is inevitable that you will be at your wits end. The master has specially ordered me to offer you two hundred of the 'Thunderbolt Bombs' and ten of the 'Shocking Thunders' from my Divine Power Hall to show your strength. I hope you will accept it with your smile." All thanks to the sincerity of Shenweitang!”
Hall Master Liu was stunned when he heard this and was reluctant to make any suggestion. When he turned around and saw Elder Meng, Jitang and others coming forward, he hurriedly dismounted his horse and stepped aside.
Everyone in the Tianlong Sect also thought it was another fight, but they didn't expect that they were accompanied by smiling faces and came to give gifts. For a moment, I couldn't make up my mind, and Elder Meng could only make the decision.
"The thunder skills of Shenwei Hall are famous in the world. But its power is so powerful that I have never seen it with my own eyes." Meng Shan said in a deep voice with no expression on his face.
Lei Bao seemed to have expected it, and saluted Mengshan and said: "Senior, I will demonstrate it here. If I disturb you, please forgive me!"
There is still more than twenty feet between the people of Tianlong Sect and Shenweitang and others. Lei Bao waved a disciple of the Shenwei Hall to take a small ball and walk towards the woods on one side.
One or twenty feet away, the disciple raised his hand and threw the ball, and it hit a tree as thick as a bowl a few feet away.
"boom--!"
There was an ear-splitting noise, causing horses to neigh, and the tree was blown into two pieces. Everyone in the Tianlong Sect was stunned, while Lei Bao and the people behind him all looked normal.
If these people from Shenwei Hall throw these balls together, the only thing they can do is to turn around and run away. Meng Shan was secretly shocked. No one could stop such a thunderous blow!
"Senior, the power of this 'Thunderbolt' is extraordinary, and one 'Shocking Thunder' can withstand ten thunderbolts. The power is astonishing and difficult to refine, so I won't demonstrate it for you." Lei Bao looked respectful and spoke in a polite manner. , showing composure and sophistication.
Meng Shan nodded and pondered for a moment. He raised his eyebrows and said in a loud voice, "Everyone must ask for something from a courtesy. Since Shenwei Hall has given us such a great gift, I wonder if we, the Tianlong Sect, should do something." what?"
Lei Bao clasped his fists and lowered his head, and replied: "I don't dare. Shenwei Hall only hopes that the Tianlong Sect will have a smooth journey eastward for thousands of miles and smooth sailing. You will be victorious in the future. If there are magic pill weapons, Shenwei Hall is willing to use 'Thunderbolts' and 'Zhentian' Ray' exchanged one for two."
Meng Shan sneered "haha". As expected, Shenweitang still had its own wishful thinking. But without punching the gift-giver, the power of these thunderbolts from Shenweitang should not be underestimated, and they were a great help in this trip. After thinking for a while, he said: "I am Meng Shan, the elder of the Tianlong Sect, and I accept the kindness of the Shenwei Hall. If there are pills that can be exchanged in the future, or there are the magic weapons you mentioned, I will Naturally, the Tianlong Sect will never forget you, Shenweitang.”
Lei Bao clasped his fists to thank him again, still bowing very respectfully. He waved to his disciple to present the wooden box and said: "Both the 'Thunderbolt' and the 'Zhentian Thunder' are wrapped in wax and fat. When used, just crush the wax shell and release it." . As Elder Meng said, I, Shenwei Hall, are waiting for your good news!"
Lei Bao in front of him is prudent, sophisticated, and a disciple of the headmaster. He is also the successor of Shenwei Hall. He should not be underestimated. Meng Shan nodded secretly, waved his hand to let Master Liu take the wooden box, and then his face changed and he laughed loudly, returning to his previous bold and rough appearance, and said loudly:
"Lei Bao, your master has accepted a good disciple! The journey is long, and it is inconvenient to delay. Is it...?"
Lei Ting flashed to the side, clasped his fists and said: "Farewell, senior!" The disciples of Shenwei Hall behind him split into two rows and made way.
...
"Boy, let's go!" Zhen Yuanzi reminded on the side.
Looking at everything unexpected in front of him, Lin Yi shook his head. This Shenwei Hall came all the way here, and for Elder Meng's vague promise, they handed over their own sharp weapons, which made people really confused. He shook the reins in his hand, and the carriage drove slowly.
The people of Tianlong Sect walked past the disciples of Shenwei Hall in a proud manner. But the latter showed no sign of resentment, and honestly made a polite farewell.
After walking a long way, the people of Shenwei Hall got on their horses and left, and did not come to entangle like the people of Jianghu in the past.
Thinking about something, Lin Yi couldn't help but ask: "Master, what can Shenwei Hall gain by being so pretentious?"
"Boy, what do you think Shenwei Hall has lost?" Zhenyuanzi asked back.
"They gave away the 'Thunder Bombs' and 'Sky-shaking Thunder' for nothing!" Lin Yi replied without thinking.
"Haha! Are there any more after these 'Thunder Bombs' and 'Sky-shaking Thunder' are used up?" Zhenyuanzi laughed.
"Of course there are none. This is the secret skill of Shenwei Hall. I'm afraid others can't refine it." Lin Yi said.
Zhenyuanzi twirled his beard and laughed, and said to himself: "Oh! So that's it!"
The old Taoist pretended to be mysterious, which made Lin Yi curl his lips and smile.
The intention of Shenwei Hall's trip was not difficult to guess.
Lin Yi was not thinking about what Shenwei Hall had lost, but what both sides could gain.
Shenwei Hall seemed to have given away the ‘Thunder Bomb’ and ‘Thunder of Heaven’ for nothing, but in the end, they might get nothing.
In fact, this was the only choice Shenwei Hall could make.
From the perspective of Shenwei Hall, there were three strategies to get benefits from Tianlong Sect: the best, the middle, and the worst.
The best strategy was to share the overseas elixirs and magic weapons with Tianlong Sect, but how could Tianlong Sect agree if they sent people to accompany Tianlong Sect. Shenwei Hall could not do the same as Zhen Yuanzi of Baiyun Temple, who, as the master of the temple, condescended to the disciples of Tianlong Sect.
The middle strategy was to please Tianlong Sect and act as a tail wing, hoping to get some profits in the future.
The worst strategy was to follow Tianlong Sect by force, and I would follow you wherever you go. With the current strength of Tianlong Sect, you don’t need to think too much to know that the only way waiting for both sides is to fight.
Follow the best and get the middle. Shenwei Hall made a compromise and sent out the "Thunder Bomb" and "Thunderbolt" that would be gone after use, in order to please Tianlong Sect. In this way, there is no need to worry or work hard. When these disciples who have been traveling return one day, Shenwei Hall can make friends today and ask for a good start.
Although Tianlong Sect is the only one in the world, it also knows how to pay attention to both kindness and power, and both hardness and softness.
Tianlong Sect will naturally not turn away Shenwei Hall who takes the initiative to show goodwill. Those exciting elixirs and magic weapons are also the best means for Tianlong Sect to demonstrate and show favor. With the preparation of today's events, for Shenwei Hall, nothing will be lost tomorrow, and something will be gained.
Tianlong Sect has been decisive in killing and cutting off many hostile forces in the world. However, for the big sects in the world who take the initiative to show goodwill, they still try their best to win them over, so as not to become a lonely family. Now, just by making an empty promise, he can bring the Qishan Shenwei Hall in the ‘Three Mountains’ under his command, which will not only give his fellow martial artists a good reputation of having many supporters, but also be a deterrent to other sects.
These martial arts sects are full of intrigues and endless fighting, which makes people tired.
Lin Yi shook his head and put these messy things behind him. Looking at Zhenyuanzi beside him, he couldn't help but sigh at the persistence of this old Taoist.
The head of a sect left everything at home, took two apprentices, traveled thousands of miles, slept in the open, and embarked on an unknown and fruitless road.
Zhenyuanzi and his apprentice may have come for elixirs and magic weapons, but Lin Yi understood that this old Taoist had the same persistence as his master.
Everyone has different dreams in their hearts, but the persistence is so consistent.
In this long journey, Lin Yi is just a passerby.
However, with the shackles of the world and the blindness of greed, who will fall on the side of the road, and who can go further!
