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

Chapter 691: The New Sales Champion of Longhu Mountain

Although Yi Qian hated evil, he was still a loyal man. Knowing that Zhang Zhiwei only went through the motions and did not contribute anything, he reprimanded him:

"For something like this, they spent so much money. Even if there are no demons or ghosts, we should still do some rituals and pray for them. How can we just take the money and leave it alone? Isn't that ruining our reputation?"

Zhang Zhiwei said confidently, "Uncle Master, you said before that I, a great Little Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, bent over to perform rituals for a few filthy coins. Wouldn't it be bad to say it out? Now that I have accepted the money but don't do the work, doesn't that count as bending over backwards?"

Yi Qian was stunned and didn't react for a long time. Can this matter be settled in this way?
Zhang Jingqing quietly said, "What he meant was that he didn't bend over, he made the money standing up!"

Yi Qian: "…………"

Is it still possible to understand it this way? So you two, the master and the disciple, are so in tune with each other, and I am the only one who doesn't understand anything?

"It's all crooked logic. As expected, if the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked. The atmosphere of Longhu Mountain started to go bad with you two, master and disciple!"

Yi Qian was furious and left in anger, but when there was another business opportunity later, he still recommended Zhang Zhiwei to go, as if the previous dissatisfaction and reprimands had never existed.

Zhang Zhiwei also felt at ease when he went there. He felt that the money from these warlords and wealthy people was not at all hot in his hands. It was taken from the people and used for the people.

And on this day, he took on a big order from the governor of Jiangxi.

The Jiangxi governor was the biggest warlord in the province and lived a comfortable life like a local emperor.

Once people live comfortably, they want to live longer and enjoy better.

So, he went to Mount Longhu and asked Taoist Priest Zhang Jingqing if there was any way to achieve immortality.

Zhang Jingqing shook his head and told him that since ancient times, many emperors wanted to be immortal, but up to now, which emperor has really achieved immortality?
The Jiangxi governor understood, but did not ask for much. He looked at the Taoists in Longhu Mountain and found that many of them were over 90 or even 100 years old. So he settled for the next best thing, wanting to prolong his life and live to a hundred years old, so he asked Zhang Jingqing if he had any solution.

Zhang Jingqing thought that Longhu Mountain was in Jiangxi, and the governor treated him with a smile and brought a few boxes of money, showing his sincerity. You should not hit a smiling person. He has given you so much face, and you still want to hit him in the face. Wouldn't that make everyone embarrassed?
The martial arts world is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and worldly wisdom. Therefore, even though Zhang Jingqing is a Taoist master, he did not offend the governor.

He told the Jiangxi governor that he only needed to build a longevity altar for him, which would ensure his good health and add several years to his life.

However, this life extension has a limit. It can only reach the limit of one's own life span. No matter how long a person lives, it will not exceed a hundred years.

When the Jiangxi governor heard this, he was overjoyed. In this era, although there are some centenarians, most people can only live to about 40 years old.

For example, the great commander before him, who held military power, enjoyed great glory, and even became emperor for a time, but what was the use? Didn't he still die at the age of fifty-seven?
Now, he has soldiers, money and power. It would be good if he could live to be over a hundred years old and live a carefree life.

So, he agreed immediately and offered thousands of dollars, just asking the Taoist priest to build an altar for him to increase his longevity.

At this point, Zhang Jingqing casually arranged an altar for him, blessed him with some positive effects such as curing diseases, exorcising evil spirits, and calming the mind, and then sent him away.

However, he never expected that the next year, the Jiangxi governor would come again with several thousand dollars and ask for another longevity ceremony.

It turned out that those positive effects had benefited him greatly. He slept soundly every night, hadn't been sick for a year, and even some of his old ailments that used to cause dull pain on rainy days were gone.

He felt that the effect was very good, so he went to Longhu Mountain again to continue performing rituals and offering sacrifices. In order to show his sincerity, he brought more money this time.

What could Zhang Jingqing say to this sucker who had come to his door? For the sake of several thousand dollars, he gave him another altar.

In the following years, the Jiangxi governor would come to Longhu Mountain almost every year to hold a birthday ceremony.

He came again this year as usual.

However, this time was different from previous years. He did not want Zhang Jingqing, the Heavenly Master, to perform a ritual for him. Instead, he specifically asked Zhang Zhiwei, the Little Heavenly Master, to perform a ritual.

The reason for this is that the last time Zhang Zhiwei went to Tiantai Mountain alone, among the distinguished guests accompanying Master Kuruo, there was the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Master Kurong's original intention at that time was to use the power of this warlord to curb Zhang Zhiwei. After all, even if Zhang Zhiwei was not afraid of the warlords, the Tianshi Mansion was a big family with a great power, so how could they not give him some face?

As a result, Zhang Zhiwei did not play by the rules.

He did not go up the mountain normally at all, and did not give the commander-in-chief any room to perform. He simply descended from the sky on a nine-headed lion and crushed the platform of the water and land assembly with one foot.

This scene, coupled with the earth-shaking roar of the nine-headed lion, is so breathtaking that it is no exaggeration to say that it is the devil slayer from heaven or the Tai Sui god on earth.

The governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang at that time was so scared that he almost pissed himself. How could he dare to go out and help Master Ku Rong?
After all, there was no army to protect him at that time. What if he angered the Taoist priest who was like a devil or god and killed him directly? Who could he cry to?
All his soldiers, concubines, and huge sums of money, wouldn't they be given to others for free?

So, he didn't say a word that time, and even hid in the crowd, without revealing his identity. It was only before going down the mountain that he sent an adjutant to say a few polite words.

After returning, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang governor could not calm down for a long time. The impression Zhang Zhiwei left on him was too deep and too horrifying.

Such a strong man is simply the most powerful one I have ever seen in my life. How can I not make friends with him? But if I go there rashly, I am worried that it will cause Zhang Zhiwei's displeasure.

After thinking about it, he told the Jiangxi Governor about this matter, wanting the Jiangxi Governor to test the waters.

If the young Taoist priest is easy to talk to, he will pay a visit to him.

If it's difficult to talk to someone, he will stay away from them.

When the governor of Jiangxi heard this, he was also astonished. As the governor of a province, he had seen many extraordinary people, and even among his guards, there were many extraordinary people with great skills. But someone as powerful as this was the first time he had even heard of it.

He also had the idea of ​​meeting this young Taoist priest. He wanted to know what methods this Taoist priest, who was called a devil by his colleagues, had. Also, would his ability to perform birthday ceremonies be even stronger?

Because he often held birthday ceremonies at Mount Longhu, he felt that he had a good relationship with the mountain, so he came directly to visit.

In the back mountain of Longhu, Zhang Zhiwei sat cross-legged on a big rock, giving a lecture to his fellow disciples.

Yi Qian suddenly arrived and told the governor that he wanted to invite him to a birthday ceremony.

Zhang Zhiwei tilted his head and said unhappily:
"Uncle Master, don't you know that I am a tough guy who won't bend for money?"

Yi Qian and the others were speechless.

Yi Qian said unhappily, "Do you still care about this? Didn't you go to the previous altar ceremonies just fine?"

"Those people before were performing rituals to exorcise evil spirits, which was essentially a transaction. But this birthday ceremony is a lie. With my reputation, how can I do such a dirty thing?!" Zhang Zhiwei said righteously.

Yi Qian: "…………"

So you were just waving your sword around for a while before, but you didn't put in any effort, so you're not lying...

However, the other brothers discovered the blind spot and shouted:

"Brother Zhiwei, you just said that Master always does dirty things, but we heard it..."

Before they finished their booing, Zhang Zhiwei suddenly changed the subject and said:
"You can go!"

"We have to pay more!" Everyone was stunned: "…………"

Yi Qian was stunned for a moment and then laughed out of anger.

"More money?! Are you obsessed with money? The governor has already increased the money he is paying you this time. It's nearly 10,000 dollars. Are you going or not? If you don't go, I'll turn you down."

When the brothers heard about the huge amount of money, their eyes widened. They didn't even have a few dollars in their pockets, but Zhiwei could earn thousands or even tens of thousands for a single order? Was the difference so huge?

Everyone started to urge Zhang Zhiwei to take the order, make some money, and they could also share in the benefits and have a good meal.

Even Zhang Huaiyi joined in the fun.

It's not shabby to earn money.

"Okay, okay, take it, I'll take this business!"

Zhang Zhiwei said, "Uncle, I still have to give a lecture to my fellow apprentices. Go call the warlord over. I will make arrangements for him after I finish the lecture."

Yi Qian saw that Zhang Zhiwei's attitude was so strange, he couldn't help but remind him:
"You are quite arrogant, even more arrogant than your master!"

"The Jiangxi governor who came this time is very powerful. Although we are not afraid of him, his followers have many branches and businesses in Jiangxi. If we really offend him, it will be a troublesome matter..."

If the people in Zhengyi Temple saw that Yi Qian, who is known for his stern manner, was so fussy, they would probably be shocked.

Yi Qian's temperament is somewhat similar to that of Bai Yugong of the Shenxiao Sect, and he is decisive in killing, but there are also differences between them.

Bai Yugong is more extreme. His personal beliefs are above everything else. So even though he has a high position in the Shenxiao Sect, he does not hold any important position.

Yi Qian is decisive in killing while also caring about the safety of the sect.

If he thinks something should be done, but it will cause great trouble to the sect after it is done, he will evaluate it carefully and will often consider it from the sect's perspective.

This is also the reason why Zhang Jingqing asked him to be the host of Zhengyi Temple. He is more clear-headed.

In Yi Qian's eyes, Zhang Zhiwei was a bit confused. Once his thoughts were not clear, he would easily cause earth-shaking events.

Falling out with the Jiangxi governor was not a big deal for Zhang Zhiwei, but it was definitely a big deal for the entire Tianshi Dao and all the Taoist temples under it.

Zhang Zhiwei waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I have experience dealing with warlords. Ask him to come in!"

Yi Qian was worried, but he turned around and called the Jiangxi governor.

Soon, Yi Qian arrived at the reception room of Tianshi Mansion.

In the reception room, a middle-aged man with his head held high was leaning back in a chair.

The man had broad shoulders and a thick back, a crew cut, and was wearing a military uniform. He had gray hair on his temples, deep nasolabial folds on both sides of his cheeks, an aquiline nose and wide eyes. He looked quite imposing. He was the governor of Jiangxi.

On both sides of the governor sat two adjutants, and behind them was a team of guards.

Because the person he was asking for help this time was not the Heavenly Master, Zhang Jingqing did not come to see him.

Yi Qian came over and invited the commander-in-chief to meet Zhang Zhiwei.

The two adjutants looked at each other and asked them to go and pay their respects. Even the Heavenly Master was not so reliable. Wasn't this little Heavenly Master too pretentious?

The governor, however, thought of what the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang had told him before, and said with a smile:

"If the mountain cannot see me, I will see the mountain!"

After saying that, he stood up and followed Yi Qian to see Zhang Zhiwei.

A few people walked out of the Tianshi Mansion and came to the back mountain. They saw a tall Taoist priest sitting cross-legged on a big rock and preaching in the open space on the back mountain. A group of smaller Taoist priests were listening attentively around him.

"This must be the Little Heavenly Master," the commander said, "He really stands out from the crowd!"

"Marshal, I'll go and ask him to come see you right away," said the adjutant.

"No need to disturb him, let him finish speaking so that we can listen here." said the commander-in-chief.

The strong have privileges no matter where they are.

After a while, the governor looked at Zhang Zhiwei, took a deep breath, and said:
"Have you noticed that after coming here and listening to his sermons, I feel calmer and more energetic?"

He blinked hard and continued, "Even your presbyopia has become much clearer?"

"I also noticed that the fatigue from climbing Mount Longhu before was completely gone at this moment." A young adjutant echoed.

Another older adjutant frowned and felt it carefully.

Yi Qian, on the other hand, felt it more deeply than the others. He noticed that a lot of the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth had gathered around him.

Is it this kid Zhiwei who did this?

At this time, the older adjutant beside the governor stepped back a hundred meters, thought for a moment, walked back to his original position, took a deep breath, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"What did you find?" asked the Overseer.

The adjutant said, "Commander, did you see that tall Taoist priest sitting on the rock?"

"Nonsense, of course I saw it, little Taoist priest." said the commander-in-chief.

The adjutant said, "If you look at it with your naked eyes, you can see it, but I am a Qi practitioner. If you look at it from the perspective of a Qi practitioner, I cannot see its existence, but it does exist."

"Moreover, there is an invisible force emanating from his body. As long as you are within the radius of Little Heavenly Master, the energy in the air is abnormally high."

"Even if you don't do anything, just take a few deep breaths and you'll feel full of energy. The quality of your qi and blood will subtly improve. This is a physical change."

"Not only that, but even my soul will change. I will feel very peaceful and calm, without any distractions, and without arrogance or impatience."

"This state can only be achieved when you are meditating after reaching a certain level of tranquility. But at this moment, you don't need that. You can achieve it as long as you stand around the little celestial master."

"Everyone in the martial arts world says that the little Tianshi is a god, the reincarnation of the God of Heaven. I used to think that it was just an exaggeration by those who like to gossip. But after seeing him today, I know that the rumors are true. He is a real living god!"

"Let alone what he can do, just being with him all the time is like being a bodhisattva or an immortal, living in a pure and blessed place, and living a long life is not a dream."
