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

Chapter 594: Everyone from the Tang Sect, Meet the Little Heavenly Master
While saying this, Li Ding's thoughts couldn't help but go back to a competition many years ago.

At that time, the now world-famous Little Heavenly Master was just a Taoist priest about twelve years old. Although he looked tall, his face was full of childishness.

And he is already an adult who has completed many difficult tasks alone. He is older than Xu Xin, Dong Chang and Yang Lie in the current team.

At that time, when he heard that he was going to compete with a young boy, he was personally unwilling to do so. Isn't this bullying the weak?
It was just that the gate captain asked him to leave and he couldn't refuse.

The result was unexpected that although the other party was young, his methods were so terrifying.

He used all his skills without holding back, but he was unable to even shake the opponent's golden light, and was finally defeated with a crushing blow.

And in that competition, the little Taoist priest who stood quietly in front of him with his hands folded and his head tilted, without dodging at all and allowing him to fight, also left an almost indelible impression on him.

Not to mention the thunder method and other means, just talking about defense, how could it be that strong?!

He originally thought that his "black-tailed armor" that could move freely in the hail of bullets was powerful enough, but the little Taoist priest was much more powerful than him.

Now, after all these years, his cultivation has improved a lot, but he still doesn't dare to say that he is stronger than the young Taoist priest back then.

After so many years, what progress has the little Taoist priest made?
Li Ding didn't dare to think about it. He even had a feeling that it would be difficult for him to surpass the young Taoist priest in his entire life.

In fact, it was exactly as Li Ding expected.

Even if more years passed and his cultivation improved, he still felt that he was not as good as that little Taoist priest.

In the plot, when he was assassinating the ninja leader, he was besieged. A ninja who was good at horizontal training broke his black-tailed armor and shattered his internal organs.

When he was dying, he even felt that not only himself, but even the horizontal training ninja, were not worth mentioning in front of the little Taoist priest of that year.

Li Ding's words surprised Master Tang Jiaren:
"It was the head of the sect who took you to that competition. I was on a mission outside and didn't know the situation. Are you saying that with your current strength, you are still no match for him back then?"

"Yes, far from it," Li Ding nodded. When he knew that this mission would be related to the little Taoist priest back then, he felt complicated.

After getting Li Ding's confirmation, even the knowledgeable Tang Jiaren found it a little hard to believe.

In fact, he never took the defeat of the Tang Sect in the competition that year to heart. Every profession has its own expertise, and the Tang Sect was fighting a life-and-death battle on the front line, so the outcome of the battle was somewhat unworthy of mentioning.

Take him for example, if we only talk about fighting, there are many people he cannot beat, such as Tianshi, Zuo Menzhang, Wudang Menzhang and so on. But once he gets the chance at close range, there is no one he cannot kill.

However, this is also based on the premise that the strength difference is not too big.

If you are in your prime but cannot do anything to a twelve-year-old child, then no matter how high your killing skills are, they will be in vain.

This little celestial master is so terrifying? !

The Tianshi Mansion has produced some great men, and they are so eager to help others and fight against the Japanese pirates. As an elder, I have to take good care of this kind of good boy.

This sudden thought made Tang Jiaren couldn't help laughing. He had comprehended the secret of life and death, and had been a cold-blooded killer all his life, but he actually felt sympathy for a junior.

"Brother Li Ding's current strength is actually not as good as that of the twelve-year-old little Taoist priest. Oh my god, how powerful must the little Taoist priest be now? I really want to see it for myself!"

Xu Xin, the youngest of the ten people, muttered softly.

"It's hard to imagine. I wonder how he compares to Quan Xing we met last time?" Dong Chang also said in a low voice.

Yang Lie did not speak, but looked at the eldest master Tang Jiaren. No matter how powerful the young Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain was, they in the Tang Sect all had their own pride, and no one could break the myth of Dan Shi.

For him, the concrete embodiment of this myth is the master in front of him.

Even the head of the sect had made mistakes, but the eldest master had never made a mistake in his life, and he was the person he admired the most.

At this moment, he noticed a look of realization on the master's face.

Immediately, the elder master turned around and said, "Since this little Taoist priest is so powerful, I may know what the pirates are planning."

"Why do you say that, Master?" Everyone in the Tang Clan was puzzled.

Tang Jiaren said: "The Japanese pirates' ambitions are well known to everyone. Their control over the railway can be regarded as their lifeline in this land."

"But now, the people from Tiantong Hall are pulling out these lifelines bit by bit. According to the intelligence we have now, the Japanese pirates' alien forces in the northeast are enough to split into several groups and encircle and suppress Huang Xian and Liu Xian at the same time."

"But they didn't go to wipe them out. Instead, they withdrew their forces and sent the garrison away by train to avoid their attack. This move is wrong no matter how you look at it."

"Are they planning to give up the railway control that they obtained after fighting the Russians and losing more than 100,000 people?"

Tang Jiaren shook his head and said, "This is impossible. In my opinion, this place is like a chessboard full of fog, and the railways all over the land are lines."

"And the Japanese pirates should be the superior party, at least on the surface."

"But as the superior party, after being attacked, they did not fight back, but instead withdrew some weak forces in an attempt to reduce casualties."

"This shows that the Japanese pirates are well aware of the current situation. So, what are their main forces doing?"

"Besides the main force of the Japanese pirates, who else has not appeared on this chessboard?!"

The master's words startled everyone in the Tang Sect, and then they suddenly realized, "It's just us and the little Taoist priest."

Tang Jiaren nodded: "We are assassins, we came here secretly. The Japanese pirates may know of our existence, but before the assassins attack, their presence is the lowest. They will be wary of us, but they will not target us."

"Then the situation is very clear now. Since the main force of the Japanese pirates did not go to wipe out the two groups of the Little Heavenly Master's subordinates, they must be besieging the Little Heavenly Master."

Among the ten people, Gao Yingcai said, "What the master meant is that we chose the wrong target. We should not follow Liu Xian and Hu Xian, but follow the little Taoist priest. In that way, we can catch the leader of Bihe Mountain."

"Yes, before I just thought that Liu Xian was big and would be an easy target, so I followed them, but I didn't expect the Japanese pirates to attach so much importance to the little Taoist priest." Tang Jiaren said.

"Now that we know that the main force of the Japanese pirates is chasing the little Taoist priest, the top priority now is to find the little Taoist priest. However, how do we find him?" Gao Yingcai asked.

Tang Jiaren said: "The main force of the Japanese pirates are looking for him, but they have not been able to catch him. This shows that either his whereabouts are very secretive, or his speed is very fast and the Japanese pirates can't catch up. No matter which one it is, it is difficult for us to find him. We may even encounter the main force of the Japanese pirates when we are looking for him, and thus fall into a passive position."

Tang Jiaren said in a deep voice: "The best way is to contact him directly and cooperate with him."

"Master...this...cooperating with others...isn't this against the rules?" Gao Yingcai asked puzzledly.

"Rules?" Tang Jiaren narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "What rules do assassins have? The rules of assassins are to kill the opponent!"

The rules of the Tang Sect have always been very flexible. As an assassin, it is normal to occasionally use methods that break the rules, or even methods that are not worthy of being on the stage, in order to complete the assassination. He has done it. His fellow apprentice Tang Bingwen has also done it, even though he always talks about the rules. Their elders are no exception.

"When dealing with the Japanese pirates, let's put aside the rules for now. We can pick them up again when the matter is over!" The eldest master said, "We can't contact them, but we can definitely contact Liu Xian and Hu Xian down there. Let's go and talk to them."

"Master, I saw something very strange!"

At this time, Tang Mingyi, who was in charge of following Liu Kunsheng and Hu Tianbiao, suddenly said in surprise:

"It was a strange cloud that flew past me at a very fast speed. It seemed to contain something. Wait, it flew towards my falcon. The cloud was changing, and a hand appeared and grabbed my falcon..."

The master frowned and shouted, "Quickly release the connection with the falcon."

"No, I can't do it. The other party has captured my mental power and I can't pull it back."

Tang Mingyi's face showed some pain, and she felt as if her mental strength was clamped, as if a hand reached into her brain and gripped her brain.

"The clouds were still changing, and a pair of eyes appeared. The eyes were small, but very bright. There was a golden flame burning in the pupils, which was quite hot. I felt as if my spirit was being burned, and my mind seemed to be invaded. I stood naked in front of the other person, and the other person seemed to know everything I was thinking."

Tang Mingyi said with a pale face.

"My mind has been invaded..." The master walked behind Tang Mingyi, stretched out his hand and pressed the back of her head, saying:
"Thoughts are both powerful and weak. If you want to suppress them, they are extremely powerful. But if you can just see them and do nothing but look at them and face them, they will slowly dissipate on their own."

"I am behind you to help you. Now silently recite the Avalokitesvara Heart Sutra and face the numerous delusions with inaction. You should think that you are at ease at this moment. You will eventually gain freedom. Then, the invading thoughts will eventually leave because they can do nothing to you!"

Tang Mingyi's face was filled with pain. The supreme secret skill among the Tang Clan's internal cultivation methods was the Avalokitesvara Heart Method. When practiced to a high level, one could sit high on the spiritual platform, ignoring all attacks of false thoughts and attain freedom.

But her practice was not yet complete, which was why she often fell into the desire to kill. With her own abilities, she could not get rid of the invasion of that thought.

However, standing behind her was the eldest master of the Tang Clan. The eldest master was the most proficient person in this field in the Tang Clan. He grabbed Tang Mingyi's thoughts and pulled them upwards, allowing Tang Mingyi to break free from the grip.

"Huhuhu..."

The connection with the falcon was severed. Tang Mingyi, who felt free, covered his head and gasped for breath. The feeling just now was too uncomfortable.

"Mingyi, tell me in detail what you saw?" asked the eldest master Tang Jiaren.

"Taoist robe, there was a Taoist robe wrapped in that cloud..." Tang Mingyi calmed himself down and began to explain in detail.

…………

…………

Not far away, Zhang Zhiwei was surrounded by clouds and mist. He was floating in the air, holding a falcon in his hand and looking at it.

He turned his gaze away from the falcon's eyes and said to himself:

"The blue hand was pushed away. Among the ten members of the Tang Sect, Tang Mingyi is led by the eldest master Tang Jiaren..."

"So the surveillance Liu Kunsheng was talking about was surveillance by people from the Tang Sect."

"Since we happened to meet and have the same goal, let's go meet each other."

Immediately, Zhang Zhiwei held the falcon and flew towards the location of the Tang Sect members.

the other side.

After listening to Tang Mingyi's complete story, everyone in the Tang Sect had different expressions on their faces.

"A cloud wrapped in a Taoist robe, what kind of method is this?" The youngest Xu Xin started to think: "It's uncomfortable that the other party's ability is similar to Uncle An. Uncle An can control the actions of paper figures, can he control the actions of clouds?"

"The focus is not the clouds, but the Taoist robe!" Xu Xin's good friend Dong Chang said.

"Wearing a Taoist robe in this place, could this be the person we are looking for..."

Yang Lie was halfway through his words when he saw the master suddenly turn his head to look to the side. His heart skipped a beat and he quickly looked over there as well.

In the distant sky, clouds were rolling, and an extremely tall Taoist priest was flying towards them, shuttling through the sea of ​​clouds, with an ethereal air.

Although most of the people present had never seen Zhang Zhiwei, the words "Little Heavenly Master" flashed through their minds the moment they saw him.

Zhang Zhiwei's momentum when he arrived was not extremely strong, but it was ethereal and magnificent enough to shock the hearts of all the Tang Sect members present.

Especially Xu Xin, Dong Chang and Yang Lie, they almost lost their minds, and a somewhat absurd thought popped up in their minds: has this little Taoist priest already become an immortal?

"Zhang Zhiwei from Longhu Mountain greets everyone from the Tang Sect!"

Zhang Zhiwei came from the air and landed on the cliff. He looked at the people from the Tang Sect and said with his hands clasped.

Everyone in the Tang Sect came to their senses and looked at Zhang Zhiwei in front of them.

After the reverse revival state was lifted, although he no longer had that ethereal fairy-like feeling just now, he still had an extraordinary aura, like a god.

"Tang Clan, Tang Jiaren, I have heard of the young master's name for a long time. After meeting him today, I find that his reputation is well-deserved!" said the eldest master with his hands clasped.

"I'm Li Ding from the Tang Clan, nice to meet the little Taoist priest!" Li Ding suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart and said with his hands clasped.

With Li Ding taking the lead, the other members of the Tang Sect all clasped their hands and said:
"Tang Mingyi from the Tang Sect, nice to meet the Little Heavenly Master!"

"Tang Tongbi from the Tang Sect, nice to meet the Little Heavenly Master!"

"Tangmen..."

……

Regardless of the rumors, the way Zhang Zhiwei appeared was enough for everyone in the Tang Sect to give him enough respect.

"Master, are you following the several immortals in my hall to use them to lure out the snake from its hole and lure out the Higashiyama Ninja Head hiding in the dark?"

Zhang Zhiwei said that from the fact that the Tang Clan members followed Liu Kunsheng, it was not difficult for him to guess their motives.
