Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 310 There is golden light covering my body!

Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi.

In this world that seems real and unreal, ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Mount Longhu, which had declined somewhat in the war in the past, has now regained its former glory. In the eyes of Zhang Zhiwei, who is standing at the foot of the mountain, Mount Longhu now has a bit more of the flavor of life.

This was something that did not exist in Longhu Mountain during the old society, in Zhang Zhiwei's past memories.

Although there is vitality and friendship on Mount Longhu, that friendship and vitality mostly come from the group of fellow disciples in the Tianshi Mansion in the back mountain, including himself. We have all known each other since childhood, and although there are frictions, we are as close as brothers.

The Tianshi Mansion, the main hall for receiving believers and offering sacrifices, was run by the Tianshi family. It was so high and mighty, and enjoyed offerings from people and tenants from four counties and eight towns.

During normal times, not everyone can come to Mount Longhu to burn incense, except for high-ranking officials and military leaders.

Most of the time, disciples would go down the mountain with the drawn talismans and use them to collect incense money from the villagers within the range of Longhu Mountain.

Now, Zhang Zhiwei stood at the foot of the mountain, watching the people coming and going on the mountain road, talking and laughing with each other.

I randomly stopped a fellow villager and asked him, and found out that everyone was taking advantage of the tenth anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China to go to Longhu Mountain to burn incense for the comrades, their colleagues and their relatives who had sacrificed their lives in this old revolutionary area.

Talk to them about the changes over the past ten years and share your true feelings.

As for Longhu Mountain, which once oppressed one side and weighed down on them, these villagers no longer had any words of resentment towards it.

Zhang Zhiwei climbed the mountain together with the villagers.

Looking at the Tianshi Hall, which was once visited only by dignitaries and military leaders, it is now crowded with villagers from the vicinity of Longhu Mountain.

The disciples of the Tianshi Mansion, in cooperation with the local cadres, were dispersing the crowd and welcoming them in.

There was no forced buying or selling of incense and candles during the entire process. The incense and candles were just placed there, and villagers could bring their own incense and candles or buy them on their own.

As long as the intention is there, it is enough.

When I entered the main hall, I saw the spirit tablets placed inside the hall that were worshipped by the people. There were no specific names on them. Most of them were from a town or a village, grouped together.

Among these tablets being worshipped, Zhang Zhiwei also saw several with names. He knew these people. They were all his fellow apprentices, uncles and uncles who had studied with him in the Tianshi Mansion.

And among the incense and candles used by the villagers for worship, a portion also belongs to them.

"The swallows that used to fly in front of the halls of the wealthy and the wealthy now fly into the homes of ordinary people. Sir, I once asked you how Buddhism and Taoism should survive in the new world. You said that Buddhism and Taoism should be secularized and the impression that Buddhism and Taoism are high and mighty and inviolable should be removed from the eyes of the people. Now it seems that you have done it."

Just as Zhang Zhiwei was sighing at the scene before him, a young Taoist boy recognized Zhang Zhiwei and walked up quietly.

"Uncle Master, you are back."

Looking at the strange little Taoist boy in front of him, Zhang Zhiwei was a little confused. Was he old enough to be a master uncle? He was still very young.

After nodding to the Taoist boy, Zhang Zhiwei spoke.

"Is the master okay?"

"Master has always been thinking about you, always asking why you are so busy that you rarely even come back to Mount Longhu. You are obviously a land immortal."

"You kid, why do you still believe this? There is no such thing as a land immortal. The peace and prosperity we have today is not my achievement alone. It was fought for by these heroes who are worshipped by the people. Okay, I won't preach to you anymore. Take me to the back mountain, to the cemetery."

"Yes."

Following the little Taoist boy, Zhang Zhiwei crossed the iron cableway in the back mountain, came to the Tianshi Mansion where he learned martial arts, and came to the cemetery.

Those buried in this cemetery are all disciples of the Tianshi Mansion and descendants of the Tianshi family.

The reason for setting up such a place is very simple. No matter what you have done in your lifetime, whether you did it right or wrong, it all belongs to the Tianshi Mansion. When you die, your debts are settled and everything returns to its roots.

And here, Zhang Zhiwei also saw a monument.

It contains the year of birth and death, as well as the things that the person did during his lifetime.

Zhang Zhiwei stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the monument in silence for a long time.

"So the disaster of Tianshi Mansion has fallen on you, never mind."

With a long sigh, the debt is paid off and the cause and effect are resolved.

Zhang Zhiwei turned around and left, returning to the Tianshi Mansion.

"Brother!"

As soon as he entered the Tianshi Mansion, his junior brother Tian Jinzhong, who had already been informed by his disciples, came to greet him with a group of fellow disciples.

As Zhang Zhiwei looked around, he noticed that many of his fellow apprentices who had grown up with him were missing, and he felt sad for a moment.

But he quickly adjusted himself and greeted Tian Jinzhong.

"Jinzhong, you haven't changed much."

"Brother, are you going back to Longhu Mountain at this time?"

Tian Jinzhong looked at Zhang Zhiwei and seemed to be hesitant to speak. Now as the manager of Longhu Mountain, he had already guessed the purpose of Zhang Zhiwei's return to Longhu Mountain, but he still wanted to hear Zhang Zhiwei himself.

"Why else? I can't let you go, and I can't let go of the peace we have now." "Are you really not going to find Huaiyi? I don't believe Wang Yi really lets those thirty-six people wander around outside."

"Forget it. You know how big a mess Huaiyi has made. It was suppressed back then because of the turbulent times. We have finally put an end to this matter. If we dig it up again now, everyone will be uncomfortable. This kid just needs to come back quietly to see the master every year during the holidays. Don't give him so much burden. I am your senior brother, let me do it."

"Since you have made up your mind, Master will be waiting for you in the room."

"Ok, I know."

Tian Jinzhong and his fellow disciples divided into two lines and let Zhang Zhiwei pass. However, they stared at Zhang Zhiwei's back with empty eyes.

Zhang Zhiwei came to the room of his mentor, Old Zhang Tianshi Zhang Jingqing, with familiarity.

Pushing open the door, old Master Zhang was sitting there, half of his body hidden in shadow, watching Zhang Zhiwei come in.

When I saw my mentor again, the old master Zhang, who used to scold me and teach me from time to time, with his sturdy build and curly beard, no longer had the former glory.

He is just an old man who is over a hundred years old and may pass away at any time.

Zhang Zhiwei knelt down and kowtowed.

"Master, I am back. You have aged a lot."

"I'm glad you're back. Isn't it normal to grow old? Birth, aging, sickness and death are what we have to go through in our lifetime. How many people can get through this? Since you've come back to see me, it means you've made up your mind. Have you really thought it through?"

"The disciple wishes to be taught by the Heavenly Master."

"Master, come and see me at three o'clock in the evening."

"Disciple, please obey your master's orders."

Zhang Zhiwei stepped back, closed the door, and returned to his room which had been empty for a long time. Looking at the tables, chairs and benches in front of him which had not changed at all, listening to the voices of the people coming from the front, he closed his eyes silently and sat cross-legged.

Don't eat anything and don't drink any water.

Not until the hustle and bustle faded away, the sun set and the moon rose, and the entire Longhu Mountain, whether in the back mountain or the front hall, fell into complete silence, did Zhang Zhiwei open his eyes, stand up, and leave his room.

When Zhang Zhiwei arrived at the main hall of the Tianshi Mansion, old Tianshi Zhang had already changed into Tianshi's attire and was waiting for him there.

This look is just like when my master gave my master the ordination as a Heavenly Master when I was a child.

Zhang Zhiwei was speechless and just knelt down in front of Old Master Zhang.

"Zhang Zhiwei, today I, Zhang Jingqing, as the 64th successor of the Han Dynasty Heavenly Master, will grant you the Heavenly Master degree. From tonight onwards, you will be the 65th successor of the Han Dynasty Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu. I hope you will abide by your duties, remember your duties as Heavenly Master, eliminate demons, defend the Way, protect the people and the country!"

"Disciple Zhang Zhiwei will remember this!"

"Relax your mind, and I will now grant you the Heavenly Master's degree."

Zhang Zhiwei bowed his head, and the old Taoist Zhang in front of him began to practice his profound skills. A burst of golden light emerged from the old Taoist Zhang, and he stretched out his right hand and stroked Zhang Zhiwei's head.

But at the moment when Old Master Zhang's right hand, which was filled with golden light, touched Zhang Zhiwei's head, an incredible change occurred.

"what!"

A sharp cry of pain came from the mouth of Old Zhang Tianshi, and Old Zhang Tianshi, who was supposed to touch Zhang Zhiwei's head and give him the degree of Tianshi, now covered his right hand and retreated continuously.

The golden light on his body began to fade, and a little black smoke rose from the right hand of Old Zhang Tianshi, as if it was being roasted.

His eyes were also fixed on Zhang Zhiwei who was still bowing his head.

One could see a thin layer of golden light emanating from Zhang Zhiwei's body, slowly covering his entire body.

Zhang Zhiwei seemed to have anticipated the unexpected changes that would occur when Old Taoist Priest Zhang was imparting his Taoist mastership to him.

Looking up and seeing old Master Zhang, whose expression had changed, Zhang Zhiwei let out a long sigh.

"As expected, it is difficult to destroy the truth, but easy to get rid of the falsehood. No matter how true or wonderful this dream is, there is always something unreal about it. I still want to find out what this Heavenly Master's Degree is from you, but it seems that it is a waste of time. Master, don't you understand yet? There is golden light on my body, which covers my body, and I can be hurt by the Golden Light Curse. Master, you should show your true form, otherwise I will hurt my dignity if I start to fight."

Zhang Zhiwei narrowed his eyes and looked at the guy in front of him who had the face of his mentor, and his smile became brighter.

"evil creature!"

Old Tianshi Zhang let out a roar that echoed throughout the Tianshi Mansion.

A violent explosion also occurred in the main hall of the Tianshi Mansion. Zhang Zhiwei's figure flew out in the explosion, drawing an arc in the night sky.

But when he was about to fly out of the gate of Tianshi Mansion, he adjusted his body and landed lightly.

A faint golden light covered his entire body, and it was obvious that Zhang Zhiwei had not suffered any damage in the explosion just now.

After landing, Zhang Zhiwei looked at the figure in the dust in the hall, laughed out loud, and walked back with the gait of a dragon and a tiger.

The arrogant voice also echoed above the Tianshi Mansion.

"Jingqing, you are not sharp enough. What about Huaiyi and Jinzhong? It's time to stop hiding. Although it's fake, I haven't seen you for so many years. As your senior brother, I should test the level of my junior brothers, right?"
