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

Chapter 558: Jiangxi Jerry's move, Zhang Zhiwei's hoeing skills
Zhang Huaiyi stood on the podium for morning classes, looking at his fellow disciples in the classroom. They used to listen to lectures, but now they were giving lectures. It was his first time facing such a scene, so he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

But fortunately, before coming up, he had done some preparation for the exam, and he had also thought before that if he surpassed and defeated his senior brother and became the new chief of Longhu Mountain, he would also come up to give lectures like him, so he quickly calmed down, and his teaching state began to get better.

Although he has been keeping a low profile these years, his means are there, his cultivation is high, his insights are profound, and he is naturally good at giving lectures, and his arguments are very logical.

In addition, what he was going to talk about this time was Zhang Zhiwei's powerful new method, which was full of gimmicks. Everyone wanted to see it, so the teachers listened very seriously. Even the scene of dozing off like chickens pecking at rice, which was common when the elders of the teacher gave lectures in the past, did not occur.

This made Zhang Huaiyi secretly breathe a sigh of relief, as the task assigned by his senior brother was finally not messed up.

At this time, Zhang Zhiwei came to the door of Tianshi Temple and saw Zhang Huaiyi speaking inside with great emotion and eloquence. He thought to himself that the big-eared thief was quite capable.

When he arrived, the morning class was coming to an end. Zhang Huaiyi finished explaining the theory and began to demonstrate the techniques to his fellow disciples.

He stood with his feet shoulder-width apart, bent his left leg and raised it, and as he took a step forward, he put his right index and middle fingers together to form a sword and stabbed out like lightning.

There was a "pop" sound.

An extremely blazing white energy burst out from the air, passed through the window of the hall, and penetrated for dozens of meters before striking a large tree in the distance, leaving behind a charred hole the size of a bowl.

Zhang Zhiwei stood at the door, looking at the scene with a puzzled look on his face. Why did the big-eared thief's attack posture give people the feeling of old ladies quarreling in the square? If he shouted "tui, tui, tui" while attacking, it would be more like it.

The other brothers in the Heavenly Master Hall did not have such absurd thoughts. They looked at the big hole on the trunk of the tree in the distance and were shocked. It was so powerful from such a distance, what would happen if it was closer? !

Although they had all learned the Golden Light Mantra, and some of them had cultivated to the level of transforming their Qi into form, the Golden Light Mantra was, after all, a defensive means. Even if they transformed their Qi into form and condensed the golden light at their fingertips and shot it out in the same way, it would definitely not have such speed and power, so they were so surprised.

"Hey Huaiyi, was this really done by that kid Zhiwei?" A senior brother couldn't help but question.

Another senior brother echoed, "Could this kid have gotten a secret manual of magical skills from somewhere?!"

"That's unlikely. Although Zhiwei can't keep secrets, he never lies. There's no reason for him to lie."

"Could it be that he was worried that we wouldn't learn the methods used by others? So he said that he created them himself."

"Then you overestimate us. It doesn't matter if the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat. I don't discriminate based on family background. Just for this incredibly fast speed and thunderous power, no matter if Zhiwei created it himself or got it from somewhere else, I will learn it. Even if Zhiwei doesn't teach me, I will shamelessly ask Zhiwei to teach me."

"Yes, yes, that's what I thought. Actually, if we want to know where this method came from, we should just ask Zhiwei directly. Why do we need to guess here?"

"Speaking of Zhiwei, this kid has been so arrogant recently that he even skipped the morning class."

"Hmm!" Zhang Zhiwei coughed lightly and walked in from the entrance of the hall: "Brother, it's not good for the younger generation to speak ill of others!"

When Zhang Huaiyi saw Zhang Zhiwei, he felt as if he had been pardoned. He quickly gave up the podium and went to the cushion under the stage.

"Huaiyi, Master wants to talk to you about something. Please go to the Palace of Immortals!" Zhang Zhiwei said.

Zhang Huaiyi stopped and asked subconsciously: "Brother, what does Master want to talk to me about?"

Zhang Zhiwei stopped and answered subconsciously:
"Something happened at Qingyun Temple in Wen County, and we need someone to go and investigate. Master decided to send you."

Zhang Huaiyi: “…………”

I just asked casually, please tell me the truth!!
The other brothers also rolled their eyes. This sounded like a very secret matter. This kid Zhiwei was really talking nonsense!

Zhang Zhiwei paused and realized that he had let the cat out of the bag. Strictly speaking, this matter needed to be kept confidential, but fortunately he did not reveal too much information.

After all, when Zhang Huaiyi went there, he nominally went to connect with Qingyun Temple openly and there was no need to hide.

It can still be rescued, let me explain... Zhang Zhiwei opened his mouth and was about to make amends.

Wait, since it is to gather information, it means that there is a certain risk. The gatherer must keep it confidential. Although those present are all our own people, there may be a few big mouths like Zhang Zhiwei... Zhang Huaiyi's brain was working rapidly.

He stepped in front of him, jumped up suddenly, hooked his shoulders with one hand and covered his mouth with the other. The huge height difference between the two made Zhang Huaiyi hang on Zhang Zhiwei.

"Alright, alright, I get it, brother. Shut up!" Zhang Huaiyi warned quickly, "This matter ends here. You can't tell anyone else about it."

Zhang Zhiwei nodded rapidly.

Zhang Huaiyi stared at him for a while with a questioning look, then let go of his hand, gave him a few more instructions, then turned and left the Tianshi Hall and headed for the Zhenren Hall.

Zhang Zhiwei stood on the podium, looked at his fellow apprentices below, coughed twice, and said:
"It's not a big deal, it's just a simple mission. It's safe and secure!"

After all, he has the bottom line.

"By the way, the morning class will end in a quarter of an hour. What do you want to listen to?" Zhang Zhiwei asked.

The fellow disciples were not people who did not know the seriousness of the matter, so they did not keep asking questions and instead began to inquire about his new method.

There was nothing worth hiding. Zhang Zhiwei immediately explained the specific source. They learned that the secret book was obtained from an unknown beggar and improved upon. His fellow disciples were all shocked and said that they had met a master who had lived in seclusion in the city this time. They also felt sorry that Zhang Huaiyi did not buy the secret book and suffered a great loss.

Because they had never seen the original version of One Finger Zen, they didn't know how big of a change Zhang Zhiwei had made to it. They thought that the technique itself was already very impressive and Zhang Zhiwei's modification was just the icing on the cake. This made them less shocked. After all, it was still a little too unbelievable that such a terrifying technique could be created out of nothing.

Seeing this, Tian Jinzhong looked dissatisfied and wanted to explain.

Zhang Zhiwei waved his hand: "Xiaotian, look, he's anxious again!"

He didn't care about these things, but Tian Jinzhong did, and thought to himself that he must make it clear later.

Afterwards, at the request of his fellow disciples, Zhang Zhiwei practiced it again.

A ray of white light burst out from his fingertips, but it did not shoot out like Zhang Huaiyi did before. Instead, it extended inch by inch and turned into a three-foot-long white qi that hovered in front of him.

The white Qi was mist-like on the outside, but extremely concentrated in the center, like a blazing laser, emitting terrifyingly high temperatures.

Zhang Zhiwei moved his fingers and the laser moved along with them.

The brothers were all surprised. They thought that it was not difficult to shoot out the Qi, but it was more than ten times more difficult to fix this extremely condensed Qi in the air and control it as if it were an arm. Zhiwei was very strong in all aspects. Zhang Zhiwei waved the "laser sword" in his hand, practiced it for a while, and explained the key points to the brothers, and the morning class ended.

But everyone was still immersed in it, unable to extricate themselves, and they all urged Zhang Zhiwei to talk more.

However, Zhang Zhiwei had no intention of talking about it anymore.

Because after the morning class it is time for lunch.

Things can be taught in the morning class, but if you miss breakfast, it will be gone. He was not active in eating and had problems with his thinking. Zhang Zhiwei was the first to rush out of the Tianshi Hall and went to the dining hall.

He had wanted to eat for free at his master's place, but then something happened. Several elders were discussing something, and if he ate up all of his master's breakfast, he would probably have to go on a day trip with his flying sword.

As soon as Zhang Zhiwei left, naturally no one attended the morning class anymore, and the fellow disciples all swarmed towards the dining hall.

The dining hall is very spacious, with a large round table for dining that can seat about ten people. The food on the table includes steamed buns, white porridge, pickled vegetables, premium tofu, and some meat.

It is not easy to get meat these days. Even in Longhu Mountain, the most common meat for ordinary disciples is carp, because it is the cheapest. Occasionally, they will have chicken and duck, and pork is usually only eaten during festivals when pigs are slaughtered.

In later generations, pork was cheap, but nowadays, pork is the most expensive of the conventional meats, more than twice as expensive as beef.

In fact, if you calculate it this way, eating beef is more cost-effective, at least it is better than fish. However, beef is among the four things that the ancestor Tianshi does not eat. You can eat it secretly, but it will never appear on the table.

Because we eat fish so often, we are all experts at eating fish and can suck up fish very quickly.

If we talk about who is the best at sucking fish, it must be Zhang Zhiwei. He picked up a steamed carp and sucked it up, and the meat was gone, leaving only a whole bone.

Then he stretched out his chopsticks, picked up another one and continued to suck it.

This speed directly boosted the overall eating speed of the fellow disciples. Some of them didn't even spit out the fish bones but swallowed them directly.

Occasionally, an unlucky person would get a fish bone stuck in his throat. He would cough a few times, pick up a bowl of slightly turbid water and drink it, and then continue eating as if nothing had happened.

That bowl of turbid water is a special solution for dealing with fish bones stuck in the throat - Kowloon Water.

This is a kind of talisman water. After drawing the talisman, burn it in water and drink it to dissolve the fish bones.

This method became very popular in later generations, especially in rural areas. Many people have experienced it, some worked and some did not.

Longhu Mountain is the leader of the three talisman sects. Even Taoists who don't practice talismans can still draw this little trick, and they are all very effective.

Zhang Zhiwei and his colleagues discussed the origin of Jiulong Water and agreed that it was invented by an old veteran who ate fish every day and was often choked by fish bones.

The scene of the disciples of Tianshi Mansion eating made Lu Ci and Lu Jin seem a little out of place. The carp had too many bones and they couldn't pick up their chopsticks. They simply ate steamed buns with pickles and some Longhushan specialty Shangqing tofu.

After the meal, everyone started their daily work. Yes, it was work. As Taoists, there is no such thing as sitting back and enjoying the fruits of others' labor. Most of the food on the table was grown by themselves. The two guests, Lu Jin and Lu Ci, also joined in.

Although Longhu Mountain has tens of thousands of acres of fertile land and a large number of tenants, a considerable portion of the land is cultivated by the people themselves. They even raise pigs, and they kill one during the New Year and other festivals to give to their followers as a snack.

For ordinary people, farming is an extremely hard job, facing the loess, with their backs to the sky, working all day long.

But for extraordinary people, it is nothing. Rather than labor, it is more of a practice. They use long-term mechanized labor to temper their temperament so that they can calm down better and enter a state of meditation better.

Once, Zhang Zhiwei relied on the ability of golden light to transform into a humanoid plow and plowed dozens of acres of land in one breath. His master was so angry that he asked him to restore the land to its original state overnight, and then forbade him to use any tricks, so he just used a hoe to turn the land over one by one.

During this process, his level of tranquility broke through for the first time. During this process, he also created a hoeing skill that became widely known in Longhu Mountain.

Lu Jin and Lu Ci, the two new coolies, saw that everyone was digging in a particularly cool and graceful manner, so they asked about it. When they learned that there was such a skill, they immediately went to ask Zhang Zhiwei for advice.

Zhang Zhiwei was not stingy and demonstrated it to them immediately and passed it on to them.

Then, you can see Lu Ci and Lu Jin twisting their waists and sticking out their buttocks from time to time, trying to adjust their digging postures.

At the same time, they were also recalling Zhang Zhiwei's previous words: a dragon that is too arrogant will regret, and fullness cannot last long. When digging the ground, one cannot use up all the strength, but must leave some strength to spare...

Because this land is not very good for farming, there are big rocks underneath from time to time. Before using the hoe, you have to first find out the solidity of the ground and then take action.

Treat this land as your opponent. You don’t know what moves your opponent will make, just like you don’t know what is hidden inside the soil before you dig it up.

The so-called "hoeing the ground" means interacting with nature while hoeing the ground, so as to achieve a state of harmony between man and nature. In this state, both sex and life will be enhanced.

Strictly speaking, the skill of hoeing the ground is a method of cultivating both the body and the mind, but it is too superficial and many people do not feel it deeply. However, if you practice hoeing the ground day after day and year after year, it can eventually wear away the stone and lead to extraordinary achievements.

If the talent of the digger is high enough, it is not impossible for him to dig the ground for ten years and become invincible when he comes out. Actually, this kind of thing has really happened, but it was in Shaolin. He was not digging the ground, but building a shed. He built the shed for three years without learning anything, but he became one of the best masters in the world. People in the world called him the Shaolin Master of Building Sheds.

"I wonder if my skill of hoeing the ground can be replicated?" Zhang Zhiwei thought to himself. When he said this, he subconsciously ignored himself.

At this time, Zhang Huaiyi, carrying a small bag, appeared on the edge of the field:
"Brother Zhiwei, Brother Jinzhong, Master arranged for me to go to Qingyun Temple in Wen County for some business. I came to say goodbye to you!"

"How long will it take?" Zhang Zhiwei stopped working with his hoe, walked over and asked.

"At the fastest, it may take a few days. At the slowest, it may take a few days..."

Zhang Zhiwei patted Zhang Huaiyi on the back vigorously: "Don't say discouraging words, be brave, don't act like Jiangxi Jerry. I have already made instructions here. If there is any situation that you can't deal with, don't worry about the rule of 'righteous gods can't possess a body, and the possessed body is not a righteous god'. Just ask the... immortals in the hall to take action!"

After getting a few talismans from his master as a trump card and getting protection from Zhang Zhiwei, Zhang Huaiyi smiled:
"Brother, I do have some flexibility. By the way, what is Jiangxi Jerry?"

"........."

Zhang Zhiwei thought for a moment and said, "Jiangxi... well... our place is Jiangxi, and Jerry... means Junjie and Xiangrui, so you understand what I mean!"
