Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang.

Chapter 536: Quan Xing has Wu Man, I have Little Heavenly Master, the advantage is mine

Everyone in the Wang family looked at the two paintings in the hall in silence.

After a while, an old man stood up first, walked to the left side of the painting with the word "kill" written on it, picked up a brush, and wrote the word "kill" in a sonorous and powerful voice.

Immediately afterwards, members of the Wang family stood up one after another, came to the calligraphy and painting, and wrote the sharp word "kill".

There were those who agreed, and of course there were those who opposed. An old man came to the calligraphy on the right, wrote the word "忍" heavily, then threw away the pen and walked straight out of the meeting hall.

It seemed that this old man was highly respected in the Wang family. With him as the lead, many members of the Wang family followed suit and wrote the word "forbearance", unwilling to avenge the old man.

The Wang family, including both aliens and non-alien people, has hundreds of people. With so many people, it is naturally impossible for them to be united.

Many of them were dissatisfied with the head of the Wang family and the old man of the Wang family, believing that they were too doting on their offspring and were unfair to other members of the Wang family. They believed that the problem was not the lack of wealth but the inequality of wealth, so they did not want to take the risk of revenge.

Seeing that many people wrote the word "忍", Zhang Zhiwei went to see the reaction of the head of the Wang family. He saw that the head of the Wang family was standing there, watching his nose and his heart, calm and composed, and he didn't even look at these people.

As the head of the Wang family, he can actually give orders directly. The reason he does this is simply because he doesn't like to be too direct in doing things, so he would like to be tactful, to achieve a feeling of everyone being happy while seemingly giving everyone the right to choose and achieving the goal.

You get the face and I get the substance. If the deal is done, I can win people's hearts. Moreover, he can take this opportunity to judge the support of the clan members for him after the old man's death.

Three birds with one stone.

As for whether it will overturn...

Patriarch Wang was not worried. The fact that he could become the patriarch naturally meant that he had more people supporting him.

Sure enough, more people stood up and wrote the word "kill" on the painting on the left.

The vote, from the most senior to the least senior, ended when Wang Ai stood up, picked up a brush dipped in thick ink, and drew a sharp word "kill" on the left side of the screen.

The result of the vote showed that the word “kill” was far ahead of the word “endure”.

Although Zhang Zhiwei felt that this move was a bit like taking off pants to fart, it was none of his business.

Patriarch Wang smiled and said, "If that's the case, then we will fight that Quan Xing villain. However, everyone doesn't have to worry too much. With the help of the Little Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, there is no risk of any error."

"May I ask, how many high-level skills does the little Taoist priest have?" said an elder from the Wang family.

Zhang Zhiwei glanced at Lu Jin who was standing at the side without a seat. Strictly speaking, this guy should be considered as someone he brought with him, but he was not a high-ranking official. After thinking for a while, he said:

"Just me."

Lu Jin looked at Zhang Zhiwei in surprise, and cried out in his heart, Am I not a human being? Am I a human being or not?

"one person?!"

The elder from the Wang family had a look of disbelief on his face. Although he had heard that the young Taoist priest was very powerful, seeing is believing and hearing is not. No matter how powerful a person is, how powerful can he be?
“Isn’t this a bit too little?”

Zhang Zhiwei put down the teacup and didn't say anything.

Patriarch Wang spoke first, "It's enough to have the little celestial master. Uncle San doesn't have to worry. The advantage is mine."

The advantage is mine. The patriarch must have his own reasons for saying this. The old man nodded and then asked:

"By the way, Patriarch, I wonder where Wu Man is now, and how many Quan Xing monsters are around him?"

Patriarch Wang said, "Since that battle, Wu Man's whereabouts have been very secretive and extremely difficult to track down. But not long ago, he seemed to have stopped hiding and appeared in a village, and our people discovered his tracks."

"As for how many Quanxing demons are involved in this matter, the ones known to us include Huadao Taisui, Lightning Knife, and Black Wind Taoist..."

"It's hard to say exactly which ones they are, because people from all walks of life keep gathering. I'm afraid we'll have to try to find out how many have gone."

"The Quan Xing thief took action upon hearing the news. Could there be some trick?" the old man asked again.

Patriarch Wang said, "Based on the usual style of those troublemakers in Quanxing, they will get involved in this matter, regardless of whether it is a trick or not, even if they just want to watch the fun. But it's okay, we have the little Taoist priest here, so I have the advantage!"

In fact, the head of the Wang family did not see Zhang Zhiwei take action many times, which should not have been the case, but Wang Ai had seen it many times, and after a report, the head of the Wang family was astounded, and coupled with the old man's will, he was now very convinced of Zhang Zhiwei.

Of course, the specific situation depends on this battle. If Zhang Zhiwei is invincible, then he will respect him like a god. If Zhang Zhiwei is incompetent, then he will undoubtedly abandon him.

I feel a little embarrassed because of your bragging... Zhang Zhiwei picked up the water cup and drank tactically.

"The advantage is with me. What a great advantage is with me!" The old man murmured a few words, but in the end he said nothing.

Because what Patriarch Wang said was the truth, Quan Xing was indeed a bunch of troublemakers who did things without considering the consequences.

In the plot, because the people from the Sanyi Sect came to Quanxing's territory and kidnapped the noodle maker Liu, Liu Po-zi spread the news. Without any mobilization, a large number of people from Quanxing came and killed Si Chong and Cheng Zhen regardless of the consequences.

The Wang and Lu families clearly wanted to take action against Wu Man. In addition, what happened to Yuan Jingui's family before, and Wu Gensheng issued the order, so naturally there were quite a few Quan Xing people coming this time.

However, this is not important. The people from the Sanyi Sect are dead, so they are looking for Quan Xing for revenge, and naturally the Wang family will also seek revenge.

In fact, in the plot, the Wang family did surround and kill Wu Man many times, but apart from the killing of some elders, there was no result.

But this time is different, this time there is Zhang Zhiwei.

…………

…………

On the other side, Wu Man stood in a small town. As far as the eye could see, there were several crisscrossing streets and old buildings arranged along the undulating terrain. Apart from that, there were piles of mountains.

That day in Mindu, when he was fighting with Old Master Wang, the Qi system that enveloped the wooden house area collapsed. Those ordinary people who were promised a dream by him cried out in despair after the illusion collapsed. In a rage, he killed Old Master Wang and then escaped.

In the past few days, the images of those people who had become emaciated due to being trapped in the illusion for a long time and shouting in despair kept flashing back in his mind, disturbing his mood.

Before, he always felt that although these people's bodies were gradually drying up, their spirits were rich, and he was saving people.

But now, he was a little confused.

That's why he ran away and hid, because he didn't know whether what he was doing was right or wrong, and he didn't know where to go.

This situation has happened to him many times, which is why he has become a monk three times and returned to secular life three times.

This situation continued until two days ago, when the acting leader came to him.

He knew this person. His name was Wu Gensheng. Not long ago, he replaced an old man from Quan Xing and became the new head of the sect. This was their first meeting, but this person gave him a natural sense of closeness.

In this world, there is no closeness without reason. With Wu Man's cultivation, he can naturally figure out the reason.

The reason why they feel close to each other is actually because Wu Gensheng exudes a transcendental temperament.

Although the other party speaks in a mean manner, this is only superficial. What is transcendent is the inner self. When you are with Wu Gensheng, your heart will become empty and quiet, as if the noise of the world has gone far away.

This ultimate silence is something that lost people like them can never achieve in their lifetime.

Therefore, the moment Wu Man saw Wu Gensheng, he understood why this young man, who had joined Quan Xing not long ago, was able to replace the previous powerful and prestigious head.

Quan Xing is a group of people who do whatever they want. Even if you are strong, no one will obey you. Even if you are good at talking and handling things, no one will obey you. Even if you have a high reputation, there will still be people who do not obey you...

But if you can bring this ultimate "quietness", no one will disagree with you.

Following Wu Gensheng, Wu Man's restless heart gradually calmed down, but he was still confused and could not break through ignorance, and could not truly see that the five aggregates are empty, so he asked Wu Gensheng for advice.

Wu Gensheng said he didn't know either, but maybe there was someone who knew and could help him solve the problem.

Wu Man asked who this person was.

Wu Gensheng didn't say anything, but only told him that the journey to find the truth and solve his doubts was very dangerous and he might die.

Wu Man said that if he could hear the truth in the morning, he would be willing to die in the evening. If he could see the light, even for a moment, he would be willing to put out the fire.

Wu Gensheng did not tell him directly who it was, but only told him about two major events in the martial arts world recently.

One of them is that the young Taoist priest paid a visit to the Sanyi Gate and discussed Taoism with the left gate chief in the training ground of the Sanyi Gate.

Not long after the incident, Sect Master Zuo gathered his disciples together in public, and broke through the third level of the Rebirth Against the Odds, which no one had been able to break through for a hundred years in the Sanyi Sect. Although he did not become an immortal, his strength increased greatly, and he could fly into the sky and into the earth, ride on clouds and mist, and was omnipotent. He could be called a living immortal.

The second is that the young Taoist priest went to Mount Wudang to discuss Taoism with the head of the Wudang sect in the valley under the Jingle Palace on Mount Wudang.

Although no one saw this discussion, the noise was so loud that many Taoists on Mount Wudang heard it. Afterwards, the head of the Wudang sect pretended to be dead to attain enlightenment, and finally chanted a Taoist song, laughed three times, and left.

After hearing these two things, Wu Man understood that the person Wu Gensheng was talking about was the little Taoist priest.

He immediately wanted to go to Longhu Mountain to ask.

But Wu Gensheng stopped him, saying that if he went in such a brazen manner, he might be killed by the old Heavenly Master before he even met the Young Heavenly Master.

He asked Wu Gensheng what he should do.

Wu Gensheng said that he had killed the old man of the Wang family and fell into Yuan Jingui's trap, so the young Taoist priest would come to him, but at the same time, people from the Wang and Lu families would also come. In this situation, it was hard to say whether he would have a chance to ask for the truth.

Wu Man frowned and asked Wu Gensheng for a solution.

Wu Gensheng told him that although people from the Wang and Lu families would come, people from Quan Xing's fellow disciples would also come.

At that time, these fellow disciples will help him block the people from Wang and Lu's families. As for whether he can gain anything, that depends on his luck.

Although Wu Man was puzzled as to why his fellow disciples Quan Xing would help him, he did not ask much. He only asked Wu Gensheng if he had anything else to tell the young Taoist priest about the way.

Wu Gensheng told him that the young Taoist priest was extremely skilled. In addition to thunder magic, he was also an expert at killing enemies with flying swords. However, he was beheaded by a sword from a distance without even seeing the young Taoist priest's face.

Wu Man nodded and said goodbye to Wu Gensheng. He did not hide his whereabouts nor wait for people in the wild. In order to avoid being directly killed, he came to this village.

Because he had been a monk three times, he came to the town to beg for alms as an ascetic.

In that year, the people in the town had no surplus food. They were lucky to have two meals a day. Who would help him?
A small landowner in the town took him in, but instead of giving him food directly, he asked him to raise cattle and pigs in exchange.

Wu Man followed the landlord to the cowshed. In those days, landlords were divided into different levels. Not to mention landlords at the level of Longhushan Tianshi, there were only a few of them in the whole country.

For the landlords in these small villages and towns, it would be considered lucky if they could have some meat for three meals a day. One egg would take them a whole day, and cattle were big animals that could not be treated carelessly.

Along the way, the landlord kept complaining to Wu Man: "Cows are very strong and have great endurance, and can do heavy work, but in fact, they are not very efficient because they work slowly."

"Horses can run and pull, but their endurance is very poor. They can't do it if the intensity is too high or the work is too long."

"Donkeys are good animals, with moderate speed and endurance, but they are very stubborn. Once they get angry, they won't move for a long time and even throw tantrums. It's no joke when such a big animal gets mad."

"Pigs are valuable from head to toe, but they have to be slaughtered before their meat can be eaten and their skin peeled off. They can't do that. If their food and shelter are poor, they won't grow fat and will be more susceptible to illness. Take food for example. If you want livestock to grow well, they need to eat a lot."

"I say, monk, tell me, is it possible to have such an animal? It has low requirements for living conditions, eats less, lives in a poor house, can treat itself when it is sick, can grow fat on its own, can work, is highly efficient, takes little or no rest, is kind and has a good temper, and preferably is a little dumber..."

"If there really is one, it would be a beast of the highest order. What a pity, I have not read much and have never seen one!"

Wu Man was leading the cow and walking behind the landlord. On the road, she could see scattered tenants working in the fields.

He came here saying he was begging for alms, but what he actually ate was just boiled sweet potatoes and sweet potato vines.

The same is true for the tenants who work these fields.

Facing the loess and with their backs to the sky, they work all day with a hoe in hand, and in return they get two meals of sweet potatoes and sweet potato vines a day.

They eat less than pigs, work longer than horses, do more work than cows, have better tempers than donkeys, and will find a way to cure their illnesses...

Isn't the perfect animal that the landlord talked about right there in the field? Wu Man thought to himself. He looked at the cow, the landlord, the tenants working in the field, and himself. He became more confused.

The five aggregates...ignorance...what are the five aggregates, how to see through ignorance...

He was just confused when suddenly, a gust of cold wind approached, and five figures dressed in official uniforms of the previous dynasty with pale and stiff faces and dull expressions suddenly appeared in front of him. They jumped towards the small landlord, and then there was a creepy biting and chewing sound.

Wu Man waved his hand and a golden light shot out, tearing at the five figures of the landlord and knocking them away. The wounds were black and there was no blood. They were actually five zombies.

Looking at the pile of broken flesh on the ground, Wu Man's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he shouted:

"Get out! Get out! Who asked you to come in and make trouble? If you cause trouble again, I'll kill you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the five zombies stood up straight and jumped away.

At the same time, about a hundred people gathered on the mountain road next to the town. Some had ferocious faces and carried knives and guns, while others were wearing monks' robes, Taoist robes, and colorful clothes, and were making a lot of noise.

Although they looked like a mob, if there were any veteran warriors present, they would probably take one look at them and immediately retreat, because these were all Quan Xing demons who had killed countless people.

At this time, a dong dong dong sound was heard.

On the mountain path, a group of figures wearing official uniforms of the previous dynasty appeared and jumped.

The leader was a man of huge stature, wearing an official hat and a nine-python and five-clawed python robe from the previous dynasty. He was nearly two meters tall, strong and sturdy, like a demon god, emitting a terrifying oppressive force.

His exposed skin, when illuminated by the sunlight, faintly emitted a metallic glow. It was obvious that he was not a living person, but an iron corpse refined by magic.

And on the shoulders of this figure sat a dwarf with short limbs and a distorted face.

Looking at this dwarf, the mob began to talk.

"I didn't expect that the tomb guardian boy from Xiangxi would also arrive."

"Looking at the direction he came from, this old guy must have been defeated by Wu Man!"

"I say, that zombie underneath him is so huge!"

"How can it not be big? I heard that it was made from the corpse of Aobai, the first Baturu of the Qing Dynasty when the previous dynasty was founded."
