"Why are you here?"
Zhang Zhiwei stood up and opened the door, and Tian Jinzhong walked in, looking around from time to time.
"Don't look at it, no, the master cast a spell and came back on a crane with nothing!"
Zhang Zhiwei said that every time he went down the mountain in the past, he would bring some novel gadgets back to his brothers.
Tian Jinzhong was not disappointed either: "It's okay if you don't. Then senior brother, tell us what you saw this time, such as what new things you saw, what delicious food you ate, what fun things you played..."
"That's a lot to say!"
Zhang Zhiwei briefly talked about what he saw when he went down the mountain, from killing bandits in anger, to encountering ghost bears, to entering the provincial capital, taking the train, and meeting murderers...
Tian Jinzhong was fascinated by what he heard, especially when he heard about bandits and human traffickers, he gritted his teeth and rolled up his sleeves, wishing that he was the one present at that time.
After all, he is still a young man of fourteen or fifteen years old. Even if he is a young Taoist cultivating in the mountains, who doesn’t have the dream of killing someone in ten steps, leaving no trace for thousands of miles, dusting off his clothes when the matter is over, and hiding his body and fame?
What's more, their Zhengyi sect actually does not shy away from practicing in the world. Some chivalrous Taoist priests even specialize in fighting injustices, punishing rapes and eradicating evil, and subjugating demons.
For example, in many fantasy novels with ghosts such as scholars and fox demons as the protagonists, there is often a character who is obsessed with slaying monsters and breaking up mandarin ducks.
These stinky noses, one by one, are all Taoist priests of the Zhengyi sect in terms of their origins, because only Taoist priests of this lineage are so nosy.
As for the Taoist priests that many people have in mind who live in seclusion in the mountains and forests and do not care about worldly affairs, they are actually of the Quanzhen lineage.
Taoist priests of this lineage pursue immortality and immortality. As long as it doesn't affect them, they won't intervene even if they are brainless.
Just like this time when Mrs. Lu of the Lu family celebrated his birthday, not a single Taoist priest from the Quanzhen Sect came, making it clear that they would not interfere in the affairs of the world.
Of course, this does not mean that Taoist priests of the Quanzhen lineage do not contribute to the world. After all, their pursuits and ideas are different.
But in fact, how many people can really take care of themselves? Humans are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless? When the world is in chaos and all life is in ruins, the body can hide in the mountains and forests, but the mind can hide?
Therefore, these Quanzhen Taoist priests who pay attention to the practice of escaping from the world and not caring about worldly affairs will often put down their worldly affairs, put aside their pure hearts and desires, and go down the mountain with their swords on their backs to save the common people in the most difficult times.
Hiding in the mountains during the prosperous times, carrying a sword to save the common people in troubled times, can be regarded as a portrayal of them.
…
"Senior brother, are there many bandits and traffickers down the mountain? When will you take us down the mountain and let them see the methods of our Tianshi Mansion!" Tian Jinzhong rolled up his sleeves and said indignantly.
"Why are you so anxious? There will be many opportunities in the future, and I will kill you until you are weak, believe it or not?" Zhang Zhiwei said with a smile.
"Senior brother, I naturally believe what you say. When the time comes, we will follow you, senior brother, as your right-hand man and protect you, hahaha..." Tian Jinzhong said with a smile.
"By the way, senior brother, if there is a gathering of strangers, there will definitely be a competition between the younger generation. Did you encounter any tough opponents this time?" Lin Huaiyi said next to him.
Lin Huaiyi became Zhang Huaiyi later. At this time, Zhang Jingqing had not taught him the Five Thunders Zhengfa and gave him the surname "Zhang", so he still used his birth name.
His real surname was Lin, but he later changed his name to Zhang Xilin, which is homophonic to "Xilin" in memory of his previous surname.
"Senior brother is the number one among the younger generation in our Longhu Mountain. How can he encounter a difficult opponent? Isn't that right, senior brother?!" Tian Jinzhong, a little fanboy, said.
"Of course. Come on, let me tell you about the process of this martial arts competition. This time, senior brother, I have really promoted the reputation of Longhu Mountain."
"Senior brother, please speak quickly! Senior brother, please speak quickly!" Tian Jinzhong pricked up his ears, and Lin Huaiyi also looked curious.
"My first opponent is called Lu Jin. He is a disciple of the famous Daying Immortal, the leader of the Trinity Sect..." Zhang Zhiwei began to vividly describe the simple process of defeating Lu Jin.
"What?! Senior brother, you actually defeated Immortal Daying's direct disciple with one move, and the boy named Lu Jin collapsed inside, crying and fussing, whimpering pitifully?"
Tian Jinzhong said excitedly after hearing that Zhang Zhiwei defeated Lu Jin with one move.
"Hahaha, keep a low profile and don't do anything basic. It's better not to publicize this kind of thing too much!" Zhang Zhiwei laughed.
"Senior brother, please tell me the specific process. What move did you use to defeat the opponent? Thunder method? Does this mean that the thunder method of our Tianshi Mansion is much more powerful than the three levels of reverse life of the Trinity Sect?"
Tian Jinzhong said with excitement, as the saying goes, there is no first in literature, no second in martial arts. Who doesn't want his own martial arts to be better than others?
"Well..."
Zhang Zhiwei pondered for a moment and said: "I didn't use the thunder method to defeat Lu Jin. It's hard to judge the specifics!"
"Didn't you use the thunder method?" Tian Jinzhong clapped his hands and understood instantly, and said excitedly: "Senior brother is amazing. He defeated the opponent just by using the golden light spell. Does this mean that our golden light spell is better than the Trinity Sect?" The third level of rebirth is more powerful?"
"Well..." Zhang Zhiwei continued to ponder: "I didn't use the golden light spell either!"
"...Ah?!" Tian Jinzhong was shocked, "Senior brother didn't even use the Golden Light Curse. Does that mean that the Trinity Sect is just in name only?"
"Be careful what you say. We still have a good relationship with the Trinity Sect. If master hears this, you will be in trouble!" Zhang Zhiwei reminded.
"I understand, hey hey... I understand, it must be that my senior brother is too powerful, that's why he defeated the one named Lu Jin without even using the Golden Light Spell!" Tian Jinzhong, a little fanboy, knows how to draw inferences from one example.
Lin Huaiyi next to him was thoughtful, wondering if it was because his senior brother did not use the golden light spell and thunder method, so even if he defeated Lu Jin with one move, he was also injured?
He has never doubted Zhang Zhiwei's strength, but he has never doubted Zhang Zhiwei's ability to commit suicide.
"By the way, senior brother, you often practice with us and know us very well. Tell me, if Huaiyi and I were to fight, how many moves could make that Lu Jin cry?" Tian Jinzhong laughed.
You guys are a little too arrogant... Zhang Zhiwei complained in his heart and began to speculate, how does the strength of Tian Jinzhong and Big Ear Thief compare to Lao Lu?
Tian Jinzhong is a bit mysterious. He probably won't be able to beat Lao Lu unless he gives him a small start and trains him well.
As for the big-eared thief, this guy is shy and never competes with anyone. He hides his cultivation very well. Zhang Zhiwei can't tell how strong he is.
But defeating Lu Jin should not be a big problem. After all, strength aside, in terms of mind and eyes, the big-eared thief defeated Lao Lu completely.
When Lin Huaiyi heard Tian Jinzhong dragging him to compete with Lu Jinzhong, he quickly said:
"Senior Brother Tian, don't take me with you. How can I use my meager skills? If that happens, I'm afraid I will embarrass the Tianshi Mansion!"
