"It's nothing, you have a problem!"
Curiosity killed the cat, Lu Jin felt like a cat was scratching his heart:
"Fat man, tell me, what did you say? Don't forget that I tried to get you back, but I suffered a big loss. It would be too boring for you to hide such a thing."
Wang Ai hesitated for a moment and said: "Well...it's just that Senior Brother Zhang talked about a lot of practice insights and so on in order to start mentoring disciples. Anyway, I didn't understand it very well!"
"Senior Brother Zhang, are you talking about spiritual practice?" When Lu Jin heard this, he immediately lowered his head and stamped his feet in anger. He felt that he had lost 100 million, and looked up to the sky and sighed:
"That little Taoist priest with big ears is really..."
Just as he was about to say something bad, Lu Jin realized that the little Taoist priest with big ears was not far away, looking directly at him.
Lu Jin hesitated for a moment, with a stiff face, and said with a smile:
"Well... what a... what a coincidence, senior brother Huai... Huaiyi!"
Unlike Lu Ci and Zhang Zhiwei, who are more casual, Lu Jin is very concerned about face.
Otherwise, after being beaten to tears by Zhang Zhiwei, he would not be crying while talking about the scene.
When Lu Ci and Wang Ai saw Lu Jin's appearance, they couldn't help laughing and whispered to each other: "Look, Lu Jin's pretentiousness has started again!"
Zhang Zhiwei was speechless. Lao Lu’s idol has a heavy burden!
Even Lin Huaiyi was stunned for a moment. Compared to Wang Ai and Lu Ci, he suddenly had a better impression of Lu Jin. At least this person was very considerate of other people's feelings.
Lin Huaiyi hurriedly walked over and apologized to Lu Jin sincerely, saying that during yesterday's discussion, he lost his sense of proportion and was a little harsh, which damaged Longhu Mountain's hospitality. He hoped he wouldn't mind.
When Lu Jin heard this, he quickly smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Let's learn from each other and give advice. That's how it should be. I, Lu Jin, don't complain at all about Brother Huaiyi. Brother Huaiyi is worse than me in cultivation, and my skills are not as good as others." I’m willing to accept the defeat, ah~! I don’t take it seriously at all!”
"Eh!~ I don't take it seriously at all..." Lu Ci repeated it in a low and sinister voice beside him, and immediately burst into laughter:
"Hahaha... Fatty, I'm going to die soon. You're such a prude. He just wanted to say something bad about someone, but he was caught red-handed and now he's still pretending to be. Hahaha..."
Wang Ai also let out a barbell-like laugh.
You two are bad friends, right? You have been professionally trying to cause trouble for a hundred years... Zhang Zhiwei complained in his heart, and couldn't help but smile on his face. Lao Lu is still a very interesting guy.
"Since Donor Lu doesn't take it to heart, I'm relieved!" Lin Huaiyi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
Lu Jin waved his hand: "What kind of thing is this? How can I take it to heart? But Senior Brother Huaiyi's cultivation is really amazing. Although I am not as good as it is for the time being, I will challenge him again in a while!"
This is indeed Lu Jin's inner plan.
He and Lu Ci thought of going together. Zhang Zhiwei's strength was too far behind him. It was okay to ask for advice, but it would be too uninteresting to challenge him.
Lin Huaiyi's attainments in the Golden Light Curse are quite high, and he can also use the thunder method. Isn't he a completely weakened version of Senior Brother Zhang?
Let’s use him as a small target first, defeat the weakened version of Senior Brother Zhang, and then challenge Senior Brother Zhang.
Lin Huaiyi smiled and said: "Brother Lu Jin is welcome to come and fight at any time. By the way, brother Lu Jin, senior brother, I have to go explain it to the other senior brothers, so I won't stay any longer!"
Afterwards, Lin Huaiyi turned and left.
There are only four people left here: Zhang Zhiwei, Lu Ci, Lu Jin, and Wang Ai.
"Senior Brother Zhang, did you just preach? Why don't you preach again!" Lu Jin said.
"Yes, yes, senior brother Zhang, do you want to stop talking?" Lu Ci also said.
"How about... let's go down the mountain to eat?" Wang Ai had a unique opinion.
"I think it's okay, let's go down the mountain and have a big dinner!" Zhang Zhiwei made a decision with a wave of his hand.
Wang Ai suddenly smiled, but then he felt a thorn in his back.
As soon as he turned his head, he met the angry eyes of Lu Jin and Lu Ci.
These two guys, who were often at odds with each other, had a surprisingly tacit understanding at this moment, holding Wang Ai's shoulders one on the left and the other on the right.
"Fat man, how do you know how to eat?"
"Yes, which is more important, preaching or eating?"
After saying that, without waiting for Wang Ai's response, both of them clenched their hands into fists, pressed them against Wang Ai's temples, and turned them in and out. Wang Ai grinned in pain.

…………
A quarter of an hour later, at the foot of Longhu Mountain, Shangqing Town, Shangqing Restaurant.
Shangqing Restaurant is the largest restaurant in Shangqing Town. It has a three-story red lacquered building with round lanterns hung at the entrance and various murals decorated on the walls.
There is a bookstore and stage on the first floor of the restaurant, and the cloisters on the third floor invite people to stop and watch. The Eight Immortals tables can be seen from the second and third floors at a glance. There are houses in the corner. It is not luxurious, but it has a unique folk atmosphere.
Because it is backed by the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain, there are constant pilgrims, so the business of this restaurant is very good, but few people know that this restaurant is opened by the Tianshi Mansion.
Zhang Zhiwei walked into the restaurant with Lu Ci, Lu Jin, and Wang Ai, took out a few coins and lined them up on the counter: "Brother, bring over whatever delicious food you have."
Even if it is your own restaurant, you still have to give money. Otherwise, if all the Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain come to eat for free, how can this restaurant continue to operate?
As for this shopkeeper, he is actually a senior brother of Zhang Zhiwei, a disciple of the Tianshi Mansion. When he becomes an adult, he will take over the sect's industry.
If the method of subduing demons is high, they will usually be assigned to the Zhengyi Guan of the headquarters. If the method is low, they will be assigned to the Zhengyi Guan, such as the Ziyun Guan in Huangshi Town.
If you are not good at conquering demons, you will arrange some other jobs, such as this restaurant business.
The shopkeeper swept the money into the tray and said with a smile: "Hey, Zhiwei, why don't you ask the brothers and sisters to come together this time?"
"Next time, I will hold a banquet alone this time to entertain my friends from the four major families. By the way, senior brother, the wine and food must be prepared. Don't let me lose the face of the Tianshi Mansion!" Zhang Zhiwei said with a smile. .
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "You are kidding, Zhiwei, don't you trust me yet? It must be of the highest standard!"
He immediately called the waiter over: "Take a few of you to a private room, the best one!"
Several people came to the private room on the third floor. The location was good. Sitting inside, one could see the scenery of Shangqing Town through the window and the performances on the stage below.
Soon, plates of delicious food were served one after another.
The previous discussion and advice had consumed a lot of money. Now that the delicious food was on the table, they couldn't hold back and started drinking heavily.
While eating, Lu Ci suddenly raised his glass and said:
"I, Lu Ci, have never subdued many people in my life, especially I have never been beaten by anyone. Senior Brother Zhang, you are the first person. Come on, let me toast you!"
Zhang Zhiwei raised his glass with a smile, touched it with Lu Ci, and said with a smile:
"What does beating to subdue mean? What we call beating, that means using force to make friends!"
"Yes, yes, use force to make friends, use force to make friends!" Lu Ci said quickly.
Afterwards, the two drank it all in one gulp.
At this time, Lu Jin also raised his glass and said: "There is no need to say more about Senior Brother Zhang's cultivation. My great-grandfather said that many of the older generation are no match for you. You must respect one of them!"
"Easy to say, easy to say!"
Zhang Zhiwei raised his glass and touched it with Lu Jin, then drank it all in one gulp.
When it comes to drinking, he has always been generous and never keeps fish.
This is true for several people here. Even Wang Ai is not shy about drinking.
After all, he was someone who could get along with Lu Ci. He looked naive, but deep down, he was a ruthless person.
"Hey, Senior Brother Zhang, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I lost at the hands of your Junior Brother earlier. Although I said I didn't care on the surface, I still cared about it in my heart. Senior Brother Zhang, you watched the whole process. Can you? Give me some advice on how to improve my skills so that I can better catch up with him!"
Maybe after drinking some wine, Lu Jin took off some of his idol baggage, blushed and said a little embarrassed.
Upon hearing this, Lu Ci quickly put down his wine glass and listened attentively. Then he heard a squeaking sound in his ears. When he turned his head, he found that Wang Ai was feasting. He pressed Wang Ai down and made a silent gesture. Let him calm down.
Wang Ai stopped eating immediately, just puffed out his cheeks and slowly chewed the food in his mouth.
You are a thief. Let me teach you how to defeat my junior brother... Zhang Zhiwei smiled and said:
"Actually, I don't have much to say to you. You, the Trinity Sect, are taking the same path as me. They are both cultivating both life and life. Generally speaking, our cultivation is actually like building a road, hoping that cars and horses can pass through it. , we can only build roads little by little across the mountains and build bridges over the water.”
"Some people pursue means too much and pursue 'skills' too much. It's like building a narrow path or a single-plank bridge. Although it is fast and can go a long way in a short period of time, the further you go, the greater the limitations."
"And paying attention to life cultivation is to build a broad road. Although it is a bit more strenuous, once you practice life to the extreme, it is not as unpredictable as some strange magic. But you can also break city walls with your fists and split rivers with your palms. With a body of majestic energy, immune to all evil, and capable of overcoming obstacles with thousands of armies, even a mediocre slap contains an unbearable weight."
"If you can't defeat Huaiyi for the time being, it's not because there's a problem with your methods, it's because your cultivation level is not high enough. If you had my level of cultivation, you could go up and knock him down with a slap!"
When Lu Jin heard this, he quickly said: "Then how can we quickly improve our life cultivation?"
Zhang Zhiwei shook his head and said: "The polishing of life is a matter of water, there is no need to rush!"
"But Senior Brother Zhang, I want to make progress so much!" Lu Jin said impatiently.
"Want to make progress? Who doesn't want to make progress? I want to make progress too!" Zhang Zhiwei picked up the wine glass, drank it down in one gulp, and then placed it heavily on the table: "But I am practicing in the mountains every day, and my progress is slow!"
Lu Jin was stunned and was about to speak.
Lu Ci next to him said with emotion: "Senior Brother Zhang has touched my heart. I compete with my clansmen every day in the village. I have competed thousands of times, but I haven't made much progress. In my opinion, you can't become a master by practicing and practicing. You can only become a master by practicing. Only in the bloody battle of life and death can a true master be tempered!"
"Old Lu, do you know why I have always wanted to see the full strength of Senior Brother Zhang? It is because of the last drill in the Lu family compound. Senior Brother Zhang made me feel a life and death crisis and the great terror between life and death."
"But at the same time, I also have a feeling that once I see through the mystery of life and death, my subsequent cultivation will be rapid and rapid. However, Senior Brother Zhang seems to have reservations and is not allowed to let me get my wish."
Zhang Zhiwei glanced at Lu Ci angrily: "If I didn't keep it, you would have died long ago!"
Lu Ci nodded and said: "I understand what Senior Brother Zhang said. Whether it is you or my elders, no matter how big the movement is, they are actually holding back. This sense of crisis is not obvious and has little meaning!"
"You mean a life-and-death fight?" Lu Jin picked up the wine glass, thought for a moment, and said, "Then how about we kill... the all-sex demon? The last time Senior Brother Zhang asked me to investigate the case of a human trafficker making a kid, we already have some clues. Yes, it was done by a full-blooded monster..."
Before Lu Jin finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Ci:
"Why should a demon beheaded? He is hiding in various places and it is hard to find him. Otherwise, let's go to Liaodong!"
As Lu Ci said this, he banged the table and said excitedly:
"As the saying goes, every man is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. Over in Liaodong, the Japanese pirates are causing trouble. How about we go drink the blood of the Japanese pirates?"
Lu Jin frowned and said, "But the situation in Liaodong is very chaotic right now. I wanted to go, but my father and grandpa repeatedly ordered me not to go!"
"What the hell, my brother can go, so why can't we go? Besides, we have Senior Brother Zhang!"
Lu Ci looked at Zhang Zhiwei: "Senior Brother Zhang, don't you think it's a pity that you have been staying in Longhu Mountain to cultivate with your skills? How about you take us to Liaodong?"
With that said, the two looked at Zhang Zhiwei.
But he saw that the corners of Zhang Zhiwei's mouth were getting wider and wider, and he was laughing.
As expected of the like-minded person he found.
Before he even started to persuade, they started to encourage him!
