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

Chapter 564: Bao Ying and Bai Gei, the Heavenly Master's Conspiracy

"For free? What's going on?" Zhang Zhiwei asked in confusion, "Didn't I tell you to ask the vice-chairman of the hall for help when you encounter danger? With him, we're guaranteed to win!"

Zhang Huaiyi glanced at his fellow apprentices who were all waiting to eat melons, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

He is not a big mouth like Zhang Zhiwei. Although the people here are all his fellow apprentices, there are many people and many eyes. What if one of the big mouths leaks the news and the devil in Wen County hears it, wouldn't all the efforts be wasted?
Although this possibility is very small, he chose not to say anything, so he is better off being safe than sorry.

When the fellow disciples saw this, they all understood what was going on and stopped asking further questions. They left tactfully one after another.

Of course, there are also those who are not tactful.

For example, Tian Jinzhong wanted to stay and listen.

But Zhang Zhiwei's words "get out" put an end to his gossiping mind.

He was held by Lu Ci and Lu Jin, and was carried away from left and right.

Soon, Zhang Zhiwei and Zhang Huaiyi were the only ones left on the mountain path.

"Can you tell me now?" Zhang Zhiwei asked.

Zhang Huaiyi had a look of having survived a disaster:

"The situation is much more complicated than I imagined. This matter cannot be resolved by force alone. If there is any mistake, it will not only be my fault..."

Zhang Huaiyi recalled the people wrapped in paper figures that he had seen when he visited the Sanqing Temple last night, and he could not help but said in a trembling voice:

“Many people will give it for free!”

"What on earth have you experienced? Why are you so scared? You keep calling me Bai Gei. From now on, I'll just call you Bai Gei brother!" Zhang Zhiwei said with a smile.

Although Zhang Huaiyi looked a little panicked, as if he had encountered some great terror, he did not take it too seriously. Isn't he back safely?

As long as the person comes back intact, it’s not a big deal. Well… even if the person doesn’t come back intact, as long as he’s still alive, it’s not a big deal.

Zhang Zhiwei's attitude made Zhang Huaiyi very angry. It turned out that people's pessimism was not the same.

"What do you mean by 'give me the white and give me the black'? Stop giving people nicknames randomly!"

Zhang Huaiyi said unhappily: "This matter is complicated and long, let's talk about the details after we meet Master!"

"Okay, I'll give it to you for free!" Zhang Zhiwei nodded.

“…………Wow, Senior Brother, if you’re like this, then I’m going to give you a nickname too!”

"Yoho! Come on, tell me, what nickname do you want to give me?"

"I always guarantee a win, so I'll give you a guaranteed win brother!"

"This is a good name, I like it!"

"........."

During the conversation, the two came to the Dashangqing Palace. At this time, the master was handling official business. When he learned that Zhang Huaiyi had returned, he put the matter at hand aside without saying a word and called Zhang Yi and Yi Qian, and the five of them started a discussion.

"Master and uncle, this is roughly the situation."

Zhang Huaiyi told everyone what he had seen and heard in the past two days.

Zhang Jingqing noticed Zhang Huaiyi's anxiety when he described the incident just now, patted Zhang Huaiyi on the shoulder and said:

"Huaiyi, thank you for your hard work. You have done a great job. Now let us handle the rest!"

Zhang Huaiyi finally relaxed completely when he saw his senior brothers, master, and uncles, and nodded repeatedly:

"Everything will be in accordance with Master's arrangements."

Yi Qian said: Huaiyi did it so perfectly, but the other party still had so many temptations on him. It not only shows that this beast is extremely meticulous, but also shows that she is very nervous and uneasy. It seems that she is still very afraid of our Tianshi Mansion!"

Zhang Jingqing shook his head and said, "Your opinion is too subjective and one-sided."

He looked at Zhang Zhiwei: "Zhiwei, judging from your expression, you seem to have your own ideas. Tell me, what do you think?"

After being named by his master, Zhang Zhiwei pondered for a moment and said, "The behavior shown by the other party does not necessarily mean that they are afraid of our Tianshi Mansion. In other words, they are afraid, but I feel more of a contradiction."

"how do I say this?"

Everyone is puzzled.

Zhang Jingqing smiled and said, "Go on!"

Zhang Zhiwei continued, "Master Yi Qian's opinions are all based on his subjective will. If we look at it from an objective perspective, we can find that many of his actions are self-contradictory, especially when he was giving the morning lesson and when he tested Huai Yi after he left."

"You attribute these two tests to her meticulousness. I have no objection. In a sense, she is indeed very meticulous, but behind this meticulousness, there is more of a suppressed contradiction."

"The contradiction is that she rationally wants to conceal the matter and let Huaiyi go, but her nature is to hope that Huaiyi will find out about the problem. Her nature and rationality are in conflict, so she made so many attempts."

"Many of these temptations are unnecessary and even carry the risk of exposure. Once she finds a reason to convince herself to go against reason, her nature will prevail and she will kill Huai Yi and everyone in Qingyun Temple."

Zhang Zhiwei's words made Zhang Huaiyi break out in a cold sweat.

A demon who pursues the integrity of his nature and does not hesitate to make a decision that goes against his nature. This is really a dangerous journey!

Once the other party makes a slight change of mind and his nature overrides his rationality, it will be useless even if your disguise is perfect.

This feeling of being at the mercy of others due to lack of strength is really terrible. I must become stronger... Zhang Huaiyi clenched his fists tightly and thought secretly.

After listening to Zhang Zhiwei's analysis, Zhang Jingqing nodded and said:
"Zhiwei's summary is very good. This is roughly the current situation."

When he said this, he was very pleased. His disciple always said that he was both wise and brave, but his powerful wisdom told him that powerful strength was enough.

Now it seems that there is some truth in what he said. This kid is smart and not a pure reckless man who only knows how to fight and kill.

Yi Qian frowned and said, "That is to say, even if Huai Yi has deceived the other party, the other party may still attack at any time and kill everyone in Qingyun Palace?"

"Yes, that's it!"

Zhang Jingqing nodded and said, "And it is very likely to happen during the two days when Huaiyi is away, because with her suspicious nature, she will definitely review what happened in the past two days in her mind. She wants revenge by nature, and when she deliberately finds fault, it is inevitable that she will find some blind spots!"

"That is to say..." Zhang Zhiwei wiped his neck with his hand, a hint of cruelty flashed between his eyebrows, and said: "We must get rid of the other party in these two days!"

"The sooner the better!"

Zhang Jingqing nodded, but then he squinted his eyes and looked at Zhang Zhiwei who was wiping his neck with his hand. He couldn't help but praise him. He just said that you have made progress, but now you come back to do this to me. He immediately got angry:

"We are Taoist priests, not gangsters. Where did you learn such bad behavior? You have ruined the atmosphere of Longhu Mountain."

Zhang Zhiwei: "…………"

"Master, didn't you hear Huaiyi talk about the style of our Tianshi Mansion a hundred years ago?" The elder whispered, "In my opinion, the source of our Longhu Mountain's style is still in you!" "I second the motion!" Zhang Yi nodded in agreement.

"I second the motion!" Even Yi Qian, who was always serious, nodded.

Zhang Huaiyi looked at Zhang Zhiwei and his two uncles, then looked at his master with a sullen face. He shrank his neck, but in the end he did not say anything. He just agreed in his heart.

"One, two, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Zhang Jingqing glared at Zhang Zhiwei and complained in his heart, "Remember this first, I will deal with you later, and then I will send you to the sky with my flying sword."

He has improved the flying sword, so there will no longer be a scene where Zhang Zhiwei steps on it and surfs in the air. He will definitely give him a good beating.

Zhang Jingqing coughed lightly and said, "We will discuss the matter of reviving the atmosphere of Longhu Mountain later. The most urgent task now is to rescue the people of Qingyun Temple first and then deal with the traitor."

Zhang Zhiwei said: "Now that we know the whereabouts of the people from Qingyun Temple, let's go directly there. I will kill the traitor, and you can go and rescue the fellow disciples of Qingyun Temple, right?"

"It's easier said than done." Zhang Jingqing shook his head and said, "It's not hard to deal with the traitor, but it's hard to save him."

"According to Huaiyi, the other party has a paper man covered with eyes that can detect extremely subtle movements. Even the flapping of a moth's wings cannot escape its eyes. This kind of paper-made thing is not like a magic weapon. If she has one, she may have two or three..."

"Even though Huaiyi's visit has somewhat eliminated some of her vigilance, the chances of being discovered are still very high."

"Once she finds out, given the current state of Qingyun's people, I'm afraid they will all be dead. If we want to save them, we must first consider how to block this thing!"

Zhang Zhiwei's eyes flickered, but he said nothing. Although he had many tricks, he couldn't be 100% sure about something he hadn't seen with his own eyes.

If he were alone, then naturally it wouldn't matter what happened, but this involved the safety of more than a dozen fellow disciples in Qingyun Temple. He couldn't gamble with their lives, so he had better listen to the opinions of his master and uncles.

"Brother, what you said is indeed a problem," Yi Qian looked at Zhang Yi, "Old man, you are more skilled in talismans than I am. Can you use some method to block the surveillance of the paper man's head?"

Zhang Yi shook his head solemnly: "I have no choice. In fact, let alone blocking the other party's methods, the current situation is that she has blocked our methods."

"For example, what Huaiyi just said about the uselessness of the Primordial Chaos Red Talisman, and the paper figurine making thing, no matter who makes it, should be regarded as an unorthodox practice."

"Logically speaking, the Primordial Chaos Scarlet Talisman should work, but it didn't. Even a high-quality talisman like the Primordial Chaos Scarlet Talisman is hard to work, let alone other talismans."

At the end of his speech, he gave a summary: "This shows that the opponent's talisman skills are better than mine. If you want to rely on talismans to achieve a surprise victory, I'm afraid it's a case of showing off one's skills in front of an expert. We have to change our approach."

Yi Qian thought for a while and said, "I have an idea. No matter how weird the paper figurine is, it is operated by Qi and has Dharma eyes, not physical eyes."

"In that case, we don't need to use any tricks. We can just disguise ourselves and enter Qingyun Temple under the pretext of burning incense and worshipping the gods, and then suddenly attack. What do you think?"

Zhang Jingqing shook his head after listening and said, "Have you forgotten? Huaiyi said that the warlord was very polite to the people of Qingyun Temple. You don't really think he was polite to Qingyun Temple, do you?"

"I'm afraid he has already been controlled. With the caution shown by the other party, our people will probably be checked before they even enter the city. You don't believe that your acting can deceive the soldiers guarding the city, right?"

"As for my acting skills, I have no problem!" Zhang Yi said with certainty.

Zhang Zhiwei glanced at Zhang Yi and said, "If Uncle Master has no problem, then I have no problem either."

"I just can't do it!" Yi Qian is still very capable.

"You two shut up!" Zhang Jingqing scolded. What kind of people are these two? As their senior brother and master, how could he not know?

Zhang Huaiyi was also booing secretly. He would not comment on his uncle Zhang Yi, but his senior brother's acting skills were really hard to describe. He was almost angry to death that day.

"Since it doesn't work, what countermeasures do you have, brother?" Yi Qian said.

Zhang Jingqing said: "Disguise is the worst option. Jianghu matters are Jianghu matters. The matters of extraordinary people must be solved with extraordinary methods. Since the talisman method doesn't work, let's try another method."

"From what I know, after the traitor was deposed, she went to learn the methods of the Dharma Sect. I'm afraid that her paper figurine head was also made by the Dharma Sect."

"She is well versed in our methods, so she is on high alert. However, we are not well versed in her methods. This is like using our own weaknesses to attack her strengths, which is not a wise move."

"Why not invite a master of the Dharma teachings to come over and use our strengths to attack their weaknesses?"

After saying that, Zhang Jingqing looked at Zhang Yi.

"As for the masters of the Dharma teaching..." Yi Qian murmured and looked at Zhang Yi.

Master and Uncle Yi Qian both looked at Uncle Zhang Yi.

Although Zhang Zhiwei and Zhang Huaiyi did not understand the situation, they followed the formation and looked over.

Zhang Yi: “…………”

"Why are you looking at me? I don't know any magic tricks, right?" Zhang Yi said unhappily.

"I know you can't, but Aunt Lan can." Zhang Jingqing said.

"Yes, your old lover, Aunt Lan, is the head of the Yuanhuang Sect of this generation. In terms of teaching methods, there are many people in this world who are better than her. Why not ask her for help?" Yi Qian also said.

Yuanhuang Sect... Zhang Zhiwei's heart moved. He had never seen this sect, but he had heard of it.

This is a Dharma religion. The so-called Dharma religion is actually a sect that combines witchcraft and Taoism. It is a religion formed with witchcraft as its foundation and Taoism as its context. This kind of Dharma religion is also called Shijiao.

The Tiantong Hall established by Zhang Zhiwei has already surpassed the scope of ordinary halls.

To say that it is a temple is not quite right, but to say that it is Taoism is also not right.

Strictly speaking, it should be considered a Dharma teaching, a very small Dharma teaching.

There are many such sects, the largest of which are Meishan Sect, Lushan Sect and Yuanhuang Sect.

For example, the Maoshan traitor, the Bat Wizard, later switched to practicing Meishan magic. As for this Tianshi Mansion traitor, it is not clear which sect's magic he practiced.

Zhang Zhiwei didn't care about these. What he cared about was the lover of Uncle Zhang Yi from the Yuanhuang School as described by Uncle Yi Qian.

There is a story behind this. You know, the Zhengyi Sect does not prohibit marriage. Although Uncle Master Zhang Yi adheres to the style of Longhu Mountain and does not look that good, he does not look like someone who cannot get married.

At this time, Zhang Yi stared at Zhang Jingqing: "I understand, Brother, you did it on purpose, right? With your methods, it's not that you have no way to deal with that devil, you just want to make fun of me! ”

Zhang Jingqing said, "Junior brother, you misunderstood. Yes, I have a way to rescue the people of Qingyun Temple, but I can't guarantee that it will be absolutely foolproof. If we can ask Aunt Lan to help, then it will be absolutely foolproof."

"I won't treat you. If you want to treat me, you can do it yourself." Zhang Yi said unhappily.

"As a Heavenly Master, I have no control over the teachings, and I don't have the face to invite her over. In my opinion, you have to step in on this matter," said Zhang Jingqing.

"Ah, yes, yes, brother is right," Yi Qian slammed Zhang Yi's arm, "Brother, in this situation, put aside your personal feelings. There are more than a dozen lives involved in this temple, you should put the overall situation first!"

While the few people were talking, Zhang Zhiwei didn't say a word. He pricked up his ears and didn't miss a single detail.

This was even more so for Zhang Huaiyi. His already big ears were almost standing up to his head, which looked quite funny, but no one paid attention to him at the moment.
