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

Chapter 642: The Little Heavenly Master Enters the Mountain, Reactions from All Sides
On Mount Wudang, a young Taoist priest with a pig-kidney face and a somewhat sad expression was holding a branch in his hand, with a focused expression, lying on the ground and writing and drawing.

The ground is covered with densely packed Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, so complicated that it makes one dizzy at a glance.

The young Taoist's face changed slightly, he kept talking to himself, and finally sighed heavily.

"It's too small. This area is too small. How can you call me the king? With such a small area, how can you call me the king?"

"Brother Zhang has taught me many times, and I have mastered the essence of it. Why can't I compare with Brother Zhang?"

The little Taoist priest with a pig-kidney face raised his thin eyebrows and muttered to himself.

The last time he went to Zhang Zhiwei to discuss Taoism, Zhang Zhiwei was generous and taught him a lot of unique knowledge, from which he benefited greatly.

Based on this knowledge and his own understanding, he compiled a more complete set of Qi Men Dun Jia, which could enable him to lead the Zhou Tian innately, cover the changes in the Zhou Tian, ​​transform himself into a king, and possess the ability to reach the sky.

He originally wanted to call it Tongtian Qimen, but he felt it was too ostentatious, not subtle, and too arrogant.

On second thought, this was what I realized with the advice of Senior Brother Zhang, and Senior Brother Zhang's Taoist name is Tiantong, so it would be better to be more restrained and just call it Tiantong Qimen.

When he first learned the Tiantong Qimen, he was very excited, and his mind was full of the scene when Zhang Zhiwei started in Changbai Mountain.

He also wanted to be like Senior Brother Zhang.

Therefore, during this period of time he has been thinking about how to expand this game. It started with a dozen meters, then dozens of meters, and then expanded to a hundred meters. It would be too difficult to expand further.

Moreover, he could not play several games in a row like Senior Brother Zhang. After each game, he had to rest and meditate to restore his energy before he could play the next game. He was totally unable to play with ease like Senior Brother Zhang.

"The reason for such a big gap should not be a problem of technique and understanding, but a problem of my own cultivation. It's like the power of Tai Chi, which can move a thousand pounds with a little force. I can only open a game with a radius of 100 meters, while Senior Brother Zhang can open a game of several miles."

"Should I start cultivating my life and improving myself? But over the years, I have never fallen behind in my daily studies and have never been lazy. It is impossible to catch up in a short time."

"Or, can we improve this method so that it is less demanding on itself and can be more suitable for ordinary people like us?"

"But how should I change it? I have no idea!"

The sorrow on Zhou Sheng's face became even more intense.

At this time, he heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw his younger brother Zhou Meng swooping towards him in the woods like a nimble monkey.

"Little monkey, what are you doing?" Zhou Sheng's words were harsh and he usually didn't say anything nice.

"Bah, who are you calling a little monkey?" Zhou Meng said unhappily, "The sect leader just said that the little celestial master is going to cause trouble in the Tiantai Sect, and we in Wudang have to go and support them. I asked you to bring a few fellow disciples with you and set off immediately."

When Zhou Sheng heard that it was Zhang Zhiwei who wanted to cause trouble, he immediately became excited. He quickly supported himself and got up from the ground, and called Zhou Meng to set off immediately.

Zhou Meng narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhou Sheng's waist: "I say, big monkey, your waist, is it okay?"

When Zhou Sheng was practicing before, he somehow sprained his waist. It felt like a force was blocked in his waist and it hurt whenever he walked. He went to the mountains to see a Taoist priest who was proficient in medicine and gave him some dog-skin plasters to apply, but there seemed to be no obvious improvement.

"I'm fine. It's just a minor problem. It won't be a problem. It will be fine in a few days," Zhou Sheng asked, "What exactly is going on with Senior Brother Zhang?"

Zhou Meng conveyed the information truthfully.

Zhou Sheng cursed loudly after hearing this: "This traitorous bald donkey should be disciplined. Which commander of our Wudang Mountain will lead the team?"

Zhou Meng said: "Didn't I just say that? You lead the team."

"Me?" Zhou Sheng was stunned. "Are we enough to hold the place? I'm afraid our words won't count!"

Zhou Meng said, "The head of the sect said that since Buddhism and Taoism are involved, it would be bad for the seniors to go in order to avoid being accused. We, the younger generation, can just go to support the cause. Besides, even if we really get into trouble with Senior Brother Zhang, we can just go back to the mountain and hide. He will keep us safe."

Zhou Sheng said, "We are following Senior Brother Zhang, and the head of the sect has guaranteed us. What are we afraid of? Let's go, let's set off quickly, don't be late!"

…………

At the same time, in the elegant and unique Lu family residence, in the study, Old Master Lu and Lu Xuan were discussing something.

"Uncle, you have also read the letter from the Wang family. What do you think our Lu family should do about it?" Lu Xuan said.

"Xuan'er, you are the head of the Lu family now. You can make the decisions on these matters yourself." said Old Master Lu.

Lu Xuan said: "I asked Brother Wang and Brother Lu, and they seem to want to get involved in this matter."

"But I thought about it. This is a matter involving Buddhism and Taoism. If we are not careful, it could lead to disaster."

"Besides, didn't the old Tianshi disapprove of the decision made by the young Tianshi? In the final analysis, this matter was caused by the young Tianshi's insistence on his own way."

"So I decided to just show my support but not get involved in this matter."

After Lu Xuan finished speaking, he looked at the old man, wanting to hear his opinion.

Old Master Lu smiled after hearing this, but he felt a little complicated. In fact, there were many talented people in their Lu family. Some were more skilled than Lu Xuan, some were smarter than Lu Xuan, and some were more decisive in killing than Lu Xuan...

Compared with these people, Lu Xuan can only be considered mediocre, even a little conservative.

But Lu Xuan also has his own advantages.

First, he is very handsome.

Second, he is very steady and not reckless.

He is upright and stable. This is why he did not pass the position of head of the family to his biological son, but instead passed it to his nephew Lu Xuan.

But if you accept his integrity and stability, you also have to accept some of his flaws, such as his old-fashioned way of doing things and his lack of flexibility.

Old Master Lu is a long-time friend of Heavenly Master Zhang Jingqing. He naturally understands the character of his old friend. Since the young Heavenly Master did this, it must be his instructions, or his tacit approval, behind the scenes.

Otherwise, based on the momentum of the martial arts performance at the Lu family compound, when he just called out "evil beast" and made the young Taoist priest bow down in worship, if he really didn't want to do that, how could the young Taoist priest do that?

However, although he saw through it, he had no intention of influencing Lu Xuan's decision.

The reason why he wanted to abdicate was that he felt that his time was running out and that the future of the Lu family would eventually fall completely into the hands of Lu Xuan.

Therefore, unless it was something involving life and death, he would not interfere with Lu Xuan's decision.

Since Lu Xuan said he doesn't want to participate, then he won't participate.

Lu Xuan continued, "Isn't Jin'er still in Longhu Mountain? Given his personality, he will definitely go with the Little Heavenly Master. Our Lu family will not be directly involved. If Jin'er goes, it is equivalent to expressing our support, and it does not mean that we are offending the Little Heavenly Master."

Old Master Lu nodded: "This is also a good strategy."

"But uncle..." Lu Xuan asked, "Do you think the little celestial master can succeed?"

"Who can say for sure..." Old Master Lu looked out the window and said, "In my opinion, the biggest problem this time is the attitude of the Zen sect. If the Shaolin abbot, Master Henglin, intervenes, it will be hard to say."

"Uncle, can you tell me in detail?" Lu Xuan asked hurriedly.

Old Master Lu analyzed to his nephew:
"The reason why Tianshi didn't go is very simple. Tianshi has an old relationship with Shaolin Abbot Master Henglin. The two have a close relationship. Last time Master Dehong went to Longhu Mountain, Master Henglin also went with him."

"Master Henglin went to Mount Longhu not to support Master Dehong, but to mediate. Once the situation develops in an uncontrollable direction, he will stand up." "And this time, if Mount Longhu goes to Mount Tiantai, as the head of Zen Buddhism and the abbot of Shaolin, he will definitely go there to participate in the mediation."

"Moreover, this time Longhu Mountain went up to Tiantai Mountain, which was different from the last time Tiantai Mountain went up to Longhu Mountain. Last time, Master Dehong was not in the right and ended up returning empty-handed."

"But Longhu Mountain is in the right this time. They will not give up until they achieve their goal. Once the Heavenly Master goes there, they will definitely confront Master Henglin. This is inevitable."

"Because, if Master Henglin is present, whether he expresses his opinion or not, it is a kind of support for the Tiantai Sect, which is also a Buddhist sect. The Tiantai Sect will definitely put up a desperate resistance, and the final situation will probably be difficult to resolve."

"That's why the Heavenly Master didn't go, but asked the Little Heavenly Master to go instead."

After listening to Old Master Lu's explanation, Lu Xuan suddenly realized: "So, the little Heavenly Master's action was actually arranged by the Heavenly Master?"

Old Master Lu nodded. Although he would not interfere with Lu Xuan's decision, he still had to analyze and inform him of the interests involved.

“Then we…” Lu Xuan hesitated. Since it was arranged by the Heavenly Master, there was no reason for their Lu family to stay out of it.

Old Master Lu said, "Continue with your previous decision! You are too upright. The young master is going to take ruthless action, and you may not be able to tolerate it."

"Besides, just because Tianshi doesn't go doesn't necessarily mean that Master Henglin won't go either. So, if we want to be safe, our Lu family should not interfere directly."

Lu Xuan asked worriedly again: "Will Jin'er be in danger?"

Old Master Lu shook his head: "The little Taoist priest is in the light, and the Taoist priest is in the dark, so there should be no danger!"

At the same time, Tiantai Mountain, Tiantai Sect, palaces and halls were built against the mountain, with pavilions and towers lined up one after another.

Inside the main hall, the abbot of the Tiantai sect, wearing a scarlet cassock, sat beneath the golden body of the Buddha. On either side of him, the temple's eminent monks sat in two rows.

Some time ago, the abbot of Tiantai Sect, Master Dehong, went to Longhu Mountain to question the young Taoist priest, but he never returned.

The monks of Tiantai Sect went to look for him but could not find him. The abbot's life or death was unknown, and the temple did not appoint a new abbot. Instead, the temple was taken over by Master Ku Rong, the abbot of Tiantai Sect.

Today, Master Kurong was lecturing on Buddhism in the palace, but suddenly heard the bad news that Abbot Dehong had defected to the Japanese pirates, attacked the young Taoist priest, and was killed by the young Taoist priest.

And now, the young Taoist priest is not giving up yet. He wants to invite fellow Taoists from all over the world to go to Mount Tiantai to seek justice and eliminate the traitors.

Even though everyone present was a monk who was dedicated to self-cultivation, they were still angry when such a big hat was put on them.

"Amitabha, that Zhang Zhiwei is unworthy of being a cultivator. He is simply a rebellious person and extremely cruel. He killed my abbot and wanted to go to the mountain to ask for accountability. What does he think of our Tiantai Sect?" A middle-aged monk said with his eyes wide open.

Another monk looked angry and shouted, "How dare you be so arrogant! How could Zhang Jingqing, the Heavenly Master, teach such an ignorant disciple?!"

They did not discuss whether Dehong Dharmakaya had surrendered to the Japanese pirates. No matter what Master Dehong did, it didn't matter when Zhang Zhiwei decided to go into the mountains. Now it was a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism.

Or rather, it is not important at all. They preached widely. The Tiantai Sect standing on Mount Higashi in Japan was actually established by their disciples of the Tiantai Sect.

Strictly speaking, that is their branch, with the same origin, so for thousands of years, the two sides have been in contact and exchanged Buddhist teachings.

They have some communication with Japan. It's normal. How can it be called collusion? Bullshit!

It was obvious that the young Taoist priest wanted to put the blame on someone in order to avenge himself from last time.

A monk said angrily, "Before, Senior Brother Dehong said that he was colluding with Sect Leader Quan Xing and came to Longhu Mountain to question him. Now he says that Senior Brother Dehong was colluding with the Japanese and is coming here to question us. This is clearly a personal vendetta. What kind of justice is this?!"

Abbot Master Kurong sat cross-legged in front of the golden body of Buddha, squinting at the many angry monks in the hall, wondering what he was thinking.

At this time, another monk said, "Abbot, I think that little Tianshi is just an ignorant kid, a frog in a well. We don't need to pay any attention to him. When he breaks into the mountain, we will beat him to death and tell the spirit of my senior brother Dehong in heaven."

This person has been chanting Buddha's name and preaching Buddhist scriptures for a long time. He is ignorant of the affairs of the outside world and does not know the methods of the little heavenly master.

Master Ku Rong opened his eyes and shook his head:
"This person is the reincarnation of a god, he is very extraordinary, and he has committed many murders. I'm sure it will be difficult for him to end well after this adventure in the mountains."

"Although this person said it was a personal act and had nothing to do with Mount Longhu, who knows what the truth is? So, let's call other sects and tell them..."

Master Kurong paused for a moment. Monks also have to save their reputation. When a junior goes into the mountains, they are so scared that they have to go and ask for help. It will be so embarrassing if others know about it.

He thought for a moment and said, "Just tell them that my Tiantai sect is going to hold a water and land ceremony and invite them to come and preach the Buddha."

Longhu Mountain, the Tianshi Mansion of the Si Han Dynasty.

When his fellow disciples learned that Zhang Zhiwei was going to the Tiantai Sect to explore the mountains, they immediately got excited and wanted to go together.

But Tian Jinzhong was a little puzzled: "Brother, even Master doesn't agree, you still want to go to Tiantai Sect? Are you going to rush?!"

Just as Zhang Zhiwei was about to explain, they heard their master coughing from behind. Everyone fell silent and turned around to see Zhang Jingqing and Zuo Rutong coming together.

"Where are you going? Have you finished your training? Hmm?"

Zhang Jingqing puffed his beard and glared, and drove his disciples away.

The Taoists dared not continue and dispersed.

Tian Jinzhong and Zhang Huaiyi also dispersed, and the two walked together.

Zhang Huaiyi explained to Tian Jinzhong in a low voice: "Brother Jinzhong, have you forgotten what kind of person Brother Zhiwei is? He would do something that Master didn't allow him to do, but he did it so openly? He even invited fellow martial artists to come. Master must have beaten him to death!"

Tian Jinzhong suddenly realized: "Huaiyi, what you mean is that this is tacitly approved by the master!"

Zhang Huaiyi nodded: "Yes, Jinzhong, do you want to go?!"

"Of course I do. Since Master has given his approval, let's go too. Let's go find our brother quickly. If we're too late, he'll be gone!"

Tian Jinzhong hurriedly pulled Zhang Huaiyi back.

Zhang Huaiyi followed behind, thinking to himself: Let Jinzhong go and talk to Master first to see if he agrees. I can't miss this opportunity to directly see my senior brother's strength. It would be best if Master agrees. If Master disagrees, then I will secretly go down the mountain to take a look.

At this moment, Zhang Jingqing looked at Zhang Zhiwei and said unhappily:

"You really can't keep secrets from your mouth. I asked you to go, not to bring a bunch of fellow disciples with you. Otherwise, why don't you just bring your master with you?!"

Zhang Zhiwei said with a smile: "Master, you are just joking about this matter. Why do you need to take action?"

I still have to take action, but I will just support you in secret... Zhang Jingqing thought to himself and asked again:

"Have you made contact?"

"Okay, many sects have responded. I'll invite them to meet at the foot of Tiantai Mountain!" Zhang Zhiwei said with a faint smile, "Then, watch me break through the mountain!"
