The so-called power of faith is actually the spiritual power revealed when people worship God, also called the power of belief.
In other words, although these guys are joking on the outside, they actually respect me like a god?
Lu Ci is more respectful to me, but Lao Lu is acting weird every day, it doesn’t look like him...
Zhang Zhiwei shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He got off his horse and said:
"Let's go, let's go to the market town!"
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and pinched a spell. The tall and elegant white horse twisted and turned into a yellow paper talisman that flew into his hand.
After taking a look, I saw that the paper horse talisman was covered with charred marks, far less bright than before. This was a sign of overuse, and it was probably not used a few times.
Zhang Zhiwei took back the paper horses of Lu Jin, Lu Ci, and Wang Ai one by one. They were similar to his and on the verge of being scrapped.
"These talisman horses can't last long. I'll draw a few more tonight!" Zhang Zhiwei said.
"Hiss, hiss... Sure enough, it is a wise decision to come here to rest. If we go into the mountains overnight, the horse may not be able to hold on halfway!" Wang Ai said, sniffing heavily.
"No problem, I can draw a few pictures of this kind of horse at any time!" Zhang Zhiwei said with a smile.
"..." Wang Ai sniffed, then broke off the ice skate hanging on his nose: "Senior Brother Zhang is awesome, let's go to the market town quickly!"
Several people were walking and talking.
"Senior Brother Zhang, when we get here, do we still need to pretend to be Cheka agents?" Lu Jin asked.
"Why are you pretending to be a Cheka agent?" Zhang Zhiwei asked: "I learned from shopkeeper Liu that although the Japanese pirates extended their tentacles to Changbai Mountain, they were only pretending to be tourists and some mining personnel and geological exploration personnel. This should be 'horse' If you pretend to be a fool in your family's territory, you will only make yourself uncomfortable."
"Then we won't pretend anymore?" Lu Jin said.
Zhang Zhiwei nodded: "Yes, stop pretending, let's show our cards. You are the eldest young master of the Lu family, you are the second young master of the Lu family, and you are the... eldest baby of the Wang family!"
"Not the second young master!" Lu Ci corrected, "I am the seventh child!"
Although Lu Ci is the second son of the head of the Lu family, he ranks seventh in the Lu family's generation. The elders and brothers and sisters in the family call him Xiao Qi.
The Lu family has a strong sense of being a big family. As long as they are related by blood, ability is what matters. They don't attach much importance to direct descendants and concubine descendants. Therefore, Lu Ci never calls himself the second young master to the outside world. He is always the seventh or seventh young master.
On the opposite side is the Wang family. The Wang family still attaches great importance to the old ideas and attaches great importance to the legitimate son. The legitimate son of this generation is Wang Ai. He has been admired by many stars since he was a child and is the big treasure of the family.
In the past, Wang Ai would even feel complacent when he heard the words "big baby", but now, he felt an indescribable feeling, and he just didn't like it anyway.
Walking into the gathering place, unlike Bincheng, which is full of European style, most of the people here are wearing fur coats and sleek hats on their heads.
It's getting dark now, and people who have gone to the mountains to seek a living are coming back one after another, and the gathering place is bustling with activity.
A group of people were wandering around the gathering place carrying some wild goods from the Changbai Mountains, wondering if they could find a good buyer and make more money.
Although there were many people here, Zhang Zhiwei and his party still attracted the attention of many people when they entered.
"Look, look, there are a few idiots out there who are not afraid of the cold in this heavy snowfall. They don't wear cotton-padded jackets but just suits!"
"Why aren't you afraid of the cold, Biaobai? Look at that fat man with his big head and big ears. He's as cold as a grandson!"
"Not just the fat guy, the other two are not much better either. They are pretending to be stupid with a straight face. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that they are forcing themselves on!"
"By the way, have you noticed? There seems to be something about the rings and bracelets on the fat man's hands. They are authentic emeralds. They are like a group of fat sheep. Do you want to find a chance to vote for them?"
"Be the leader! You old man, you are so greedy for money. Don't keep staring at those idiots in the back. Look at the guy in front with disheveled hair and the same height as the blind bear!"
"Damn it, it's snowing heavily, and he doesn't even get a piece of snow on his body. He's a ruthless person. It makes me scared, so I'd better not mess with him."
…
People around were talking a lot, and many people were even communicating in slang.
Most of them had bad thoughts when they saw Wang Ai, Lu Jin and others, but after seeing Zhang Zhiwei, they all put away their thoughts.
Those who can make trouble here are not ignorant young men. They know who they can and cannot provoke.
"Why do I feel like these people are looking at us like fools?" Lu Jin muttered.
"Your feeling is correct," Lu Ci said with a cold face, "I also feel like we are fools!"
Wearing a suit here, he felt like a conspicuous bag, yes, conspicuous bag, this is a word he learned from Senior Brother Zhang.
"It's not just a fool, it's prey, it's livestock, it's goods, it's not human anyway, but after they stared at Senior Brother Zhang for a moment, we all became human again!"
Wang Ai said in a low voice with a gloomy face.
Having grown up under the care of his family, he had never been stared at like this before, and he felt insulted.
This kind of insult is not comparable to calling him fat, scolding him as a loser, or mocking him for his unrequited love. This is an insult that ignores his life and personality.
But this insult disappeared after those people looked at Senior Brother Zhang. He looked at the tall back of Zhang Zhiwei in front of him.
Zhang Zhiwei didn't care about the awe, joking, or greedy looks of the people around him.
What does other people's thoughts have to do with him?
He doesn't hide his clumsiness anyway, the aura of his whole body is just there. If anyone wants to find trouble, let's give it a try.
The four of them walked around the settlement, found the largest inn and stayed in it.
It is said to be the largest, but it is not comparable to the Yamato Hotel in Bincheng. It is still the same as in the old days.
A two-story building with accommodation above and a dining area below. There is also a stable outside the inn.
As soon as I entered the inn, I immediately felt warm. It was quite lively inside. A group of men were drinking wine and ordering a few dishes of side dishes. They were shouting and punching each other, making it very noisy.
The owner of the inn was wearing a dog-skin hat and a large fur coat, and he was making calculations there.
Wang Ai walked quickly to the counter: "Boss, bring me all your delicious food and drink!"
The boss lowered his head and didn't even look at him. He was making calculations and said, "I have a lot of ginseng, deer antlers, and wild game that are not available in ordinary places. The key is, can you afford it?"
"Snapped!"
A big money note was slapped heavily on the counter.
The crackling abacus suddenly stopped. The boss took off his dog-skin hat, put it on his chest, bent down and said:
"Masters, please take a seat. We'll have some good wine and good food, and they'll be here right away."
Immediately, under the leadership of the boss himself, Zhang Zhiwei and his party took their seats.
In this era, there is no heating in the winter, so in order to attract customers, the store arranged a heating pit in the lobby.
The table is set up on the heated Ondol, and a mat is spread on the heated Ondol. This is the seat.
After a few days of wandering in the wind and snow, the three of them felt that their bones were stiff. They sat down on the soft warm kang, and their tense bodies suddenly relaxed. They didn't want to say a word, and they stretched themselves out, which was very inconvenient. I lay on my back so that my cold body could be pressed against the kang, and then I waited quietly for the feast to arrive.
Zhang Zhiwei didn't do that. First, he was full of energy and not tired at all. Second, the kang was too small for him to stretch out.
After glancing upstairs, he withdrew his gaze, sat cross-legged, and mobilized the true fire of Samadhi in his body to burn the power of faith he had recently absorbed.
Then I began to temper my life and carry out today's "Three Examinations of Myself".
The title of King of Dragon Tiger Mountain is not for nothing.
On the top of the building, one eye was watching everything in the lobby of the inn, especially on Zhang Zhiwei and his party for a while.
After a moment, the eyes disappear.
"Although he is not wearing a monk's robe, it matches the portrait. Why does this person appear here? I need to inform the eldest sister!"
Upstairs, a half-year-old boy clasped his hands together, shook his head and muttered words, babbling, and sang words with strange tones in a low voice.
"The sun sets over the western mountains and the sky becomes dark; the dragon leaves the long sea and the tiger descends from the high mountains; the dragon leaves the long sea and can carry the rain; the tiger descends from the high mountains and blocks the road..."

at the same time.
On the edge of the Changbai Mountain gathering place is Xiangyang Winery.
This wine shop is not big. It is at the foot of Changbai Mountain. It is a place where hunters who go out and go hunting in the woods come back to the city at night to drink a sip of rough wine.
At this moment, in the wine shop, two men wearing fur coats were sitting on the kang drinking wine with a plate of salted peanuts.
"Guangxin-kun, how can you be full just by eating this? Where are the vegetables?" said one of the young men with short hair.
"Gensheng-kun, please wait a moment, I will ask the store right now!" Yuan Guangxin said quickly.
Unlike Colonel Ishikawa, who was chopped alive by Lu Ci and refused to take action.
After Minamoto Mitshin was captured alive by Wugen, before Wugensheng could be tortured to extract a confession, he knew everything, told everything, and answered all of Wugensheng's questions.
After learning that Wu Gensheng wanted to go to Changbai Mountain, he proposed to be the leader and take Wu Gensheng to Changbai Mountain.
Wu Gensheng knew in his heart that this Japanese pirate had ulterior motives and wanted to use the Qi Bureau at Longmai in Changbai Mountain to get rid of him and even kill him.
But he was not afraid, and the two hit it off immediately and came here.
At this time, the shopkeeper brought a plate of coarse salt pickled vegetables, and with a smile on his face, he bent down and said:
"The hard dishes will be served soon. This is a pickle passed down by our family. It is very suitable for drinking. You two should place your order first. There is no charge!"
Yuan Guangxin glanced at it and frowned: "These pickles are full of large salt particles. If you eat them like this, you will be salted to death?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "There is also a plate of water next to it. Wash it with plain water and eat it. It is not salty."
"By the way, our shop also has the ancestral gourd wine. The wine is brewed from the gourd. As the saying goes, we are afraid of swallowing each other, so we call for good wine to resolve the dispute. Would you like some, please?"
"Really, in that case, let's have another gourd wine and these delicious pickles!"
"okay!"
The shopkeeper stepped back.
"Haha, what nonsense, nonsense, I say, Guangxin-kun, are you making secret signals?"
Wu Gensheng smiled and suddenly called out to the shopkeeper:
"Boss, please add another bowl of beef noodles. I don't want chopped green onions!"
