Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 359 Someone coming home
The desert wind was freezing cold at night, and in the howling wind, a burst of ecstatic laughter came from the dilapidated ancient tower standing leaning in the desert.

The laughter drowned out the whistling wind and, with the help of the echo effect inside the ancient tower, echoed throughout the area, never stopping.

When he heard the laughter, Wu Gensheng realized that he had lost the bet. Wu Man had already seen that the five aggregates are empty, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Wang Yi seemed wrong.

It's not a problem that the other party made a bet with him. The problem is that he is too sure that Wu Man can solve the confusion in his heart for the fourth time, but he is also a real man.

No matter what means Wang Yi used to make sure Wu Man could break through, since he had made a bet with Wang Yi and lost, he would have to accept the defeat.

Touching his bald head, Wu Gensheng was straightforward.

"Alright, I'll admit defeat. Boss Wang, you have to protect my group at Mount Longhu."

"I know you value your life. I am not as good as you in solving the doubts of the Quanxing disciples, but in terms of means, you are far inferior to me. But you don't care about the level of means. Since Lay Buddhist Wu Man has broken through the barrier and realized that the five aggregates are empty, you and I should stop sitting in meditation. We should eat and drink, and prepare some things for the journey. There are only so many days left before the Luotian Grand Ceremony, and I still have to make arrangements for the journey."

"That's easy, just wait till dawn."

After saying this, Wu Gensheng closed his eyes and entered into meditation again, thinking that there must be some way to communicate with Mrs. Liu who could contact all the disciples of Quanxing Sect through dreams.

After all, as the acting head of Quanxing, it is unreasonable for him to not have any independent point-to-point communication means with the famous lady Liu who is in charge of liaison with Quanxing.

Inside the ancient tower, Wu Man’s wild laughter continued, and Wang Yi was too lazy to stop him. The old man had to laugh for three days, and after that, his practice in this life would come to an end.

He jumped off the boulder and walked directly to Xia Liuqing, the most affectionate and fierce man in the universe, who had mastered the boy's skill to the highest level. He snatched the food that Xia Liuqing had prepared for Jin Feng, pressed it down casually, and started to eat and drink it himself.

When it was dawn, the mysterious hermit Wu Man was still laughing loudly in the ancient pagoda, and in the endless desert, a cloud of dust was rushing towards the direction where Wang Yi and the others were.

As the dust cleared, a middle-aged bald man with glasses, who was about fifty years old, also arrived. After hearing the laughter of Wu Man, an unknown Buddhist in the ancient pagoda, he was stunned, and then saw the unfamiliar face Wang Yi.

Wang Yi was also stunned when he saw the middle-aged bald man with glasses in front of him.

He turned around to look at Wu Gensheng who was sitting on the boulder, and Xia Liuqing who was being taught a lesson by him again, and muttered something.

"Why is there another bald guy..."

The Quan Xing disciple who rushed over did not take Wang Yi's muttering to heart. At this moment, his attention was attracted by Wu Man's laughter in the ancient tower. Before he finished regulating his breathing, he looked at Wu Gensheng who was sitting on the boulder.

"Acting Sect Leader, what is this, Layman?"

"Mr. Huang, the lay Buddhist has passed through. Congratulate him. Granny Liu has already told you."

"I told you in my dream that I was going to run all the way from the northwest to Mount Longhu. Can you handle it, Sect Leader?"

"You don't have to worry about that, Mr. Huang. This matter is entirely the responsibility of Boss Wang. I have to say that it is because Boss Wang was sure that the Taoist priest could get through that I lost."

Wu Gensheng pointed at Wang Yi, and Mr. Huang, a disciple of Quanxing, also looked at Wang Yi with an unfriendly expression and a bit of doubt.

"You are Wang Yi, the disciple of that old man Wang Yaozu? How did you believe that the Taoist priest could break through the barrier?"

"Because I know he can break through, it's that simple. But you, Wu Gensheng called you here, do you have any means to help them get to Longhu Mountain? They don't have to go directly to Longhu Mountain, they can just go to Shanghai Beach."

"The speed of the divine armored horse can reach 300 miles a day and 800 miles at night. If you write my name in secret, it will be no problem for me to reach 500 miles a day and 1,000 miles at night."

"Are you from the Taoist sect? I remember that Dean Dai's spell came from the Taoist sect."

"How can Dean Dai's curse compare to my armor and horse? That curse can only be used once, but I can't stop moving until my blood is gone."

When Wang Yi compared Mr. Huang to the most famous Taoist master, Dean Dai, he showed a disdainful expression, but Wang Yi was too lazy to pay attention to why he was disdainful.

"As long as the blood is gone, you can't stop walking. It's thousands of miles from the northwest to Shanghai. I'm afraid it will cost you your life. But you dare to say that, which means that as long as the user has enough true energy, this armor horse can be used continuously. It's really good. Just draw the armor horse without roots, and I won't bother you. Even if you don't use the golden escape light, my running speed is not worse than your divine armor horse."

"The leader wants to go to Mount Longhu, so I want to go too!"

"Jinfeng, I'll go if you go!"

Just as Wang Yi was communicating with Mr. Huang, the little girl Jin Feng spoke. As soon as she spoke, Xia Liuqing, who was the most affectionate person in the whole society, naturally followed suit.

Wang Yi turned his head to look at Wu Gensheng who was watching the show on the boulder. This guy also looked indifferent.

Just as he said, he couldn't control what the Quan Xing disciples did. Going to Longhu Mountain with Wang Yi was a matter between him and Wang Yi. He couldn't control whether Jin Feng and Xia Liuqing wanted to follow.

Even if these two people died on Longhu Mountain, it had nothing to do with Wu Gensheng. He just needed to see how Wang Yi dealt with it.

Wang Yi was also straightforward. He drove away one sheep and let go of two sheep. He also turned around and looked at Mr. Huang.

"How about you? Do you want to go to Mount Longhu with me? Otherwise, the rumors will spread that the acting leader of Quan Xing Yao Ren was killed in the Luotian Grand Ceremony at Mount Longhu. Then Quan Xing Yao Ren will not dare to say a word."

"Humph, you are quite good at talking. I want to see what plan you and your gang, the hypocrites from the noble and upright sects, are going to set for our leader Quan Xing!"

"Boss Wang, your ability to stir up trouble with your mouth is quite similar to that of Quan Xing. How about you join Quan Xing too?"

"No thanks. You're enough to stir up trouble. There's no need for a second one."

Just as he finished speaking, Xia Liuqing, who had been bullied by Wang Yi, suddenly had an idea.

"Hey, you said our leader is a troublemaker, so you are..."

Before he could finish his words, the bald guy was hit.

"How dare you compare me to that filthy thing, you bastard!"

"I haven't..."

Another blow knocked the bald Xia Liuqing unconscious. Wu Gensheng rarely saw Wang Yi's defenseless look, and he laughed out loud on the boulder.

With Xia Liuqing's self-sacrificing joke, the relationship between Wang Yi and Wu Gensheng and the others eased a lot. The five of them stood outside the ancient pagoda, quietly listening to the laughter of the unknown Buddhist Wu Man inside the pagoda for three days.

Wang Yi, Wu Gensheng, Xia Liuqing and Jin Feng did not feel much about Wu Man breaking through the barrier and realizing the state of emptiness of the five aggregates. However, Mr. Quan Xing Huang, who was notified by Mrs. Liu to come and help, saw Wu Man's laughter for three days and his expression changed several times. He looked at Wang Yi and Wu Gensheng frequently but did not say a word.

After three days of ecstasy and laughter, Wu Man walked out of the ancient tower exhausted.

Although he seemed to be weak in energy, his eyes were bright, and he seemed to be somewhat relieved and at ease.

Mr. Huang walked forward quickly and spoke to Wu Man first. "Mr. Wu Man, congratulations, can you teach me what you have learned?"

"Old Huang, my three days of ecstasy are what I got. What I got is not what you want, so I can't teach you."

"So what are your plans next?"

"I have completed my cultivation in this life. As for my plans, I can do anything, but there is nothing much to do. Maybe I have some debts to pay."

"Layman, since you have a debt to pay, there is no need to rush. Come with us first."

“This is…”

"His name is Wang Yi."

"Wang family member?"

"No, the Wang family is not so lucky to have such a disciple, otherwise you would not have lived to this day of enlightenment. He is a disciple secretly accepted by the old fellow Ghost Hand King. The old fellow is really lucky. This kid is going to take the head to Longhu Mountain to participate in the Luotian Grand Ceremony. Jin Feng, Xia Liuqing and I are going together. I guess the Wang family will also attend. How about you, Old Wu, come with us?"

"Indeed, if the Wang family had such a descendant, I would have died long ago. But does he want to take the leader to Mount Longhu? Why would the leader agree?"

"He made a bet with the Sect Leader that you could pass. He won, and the Sect Leader admitted defeat."

"Really? In that case, it's up to you."

After learning the whole story from Mr. Huang, Wu Man did not refuse. He was ecstatic for three days, got food from Jin Feng and Xia Liuqing, and had a good rest.

While it was still light, Mr. Huang cut his wrists and painted armor on his own, Wu Gensheng, Wu Man, Xia Liuqing and Jin Feng's feet.

Mr. Huang, who had lost some of his vital energy, finally understood why Wang Yi had just told him that he only focused on painting the armor horse. The gentle magnetic field and true Qi flowed into his body, and in the blink of an eye, his vital energy that had been depleted from painting the divine armor horse with blood was replenished.

Moreover, a large amount of the Qi of heaven and earth was also filled into this painted divine armor horse to be used as fuel.

Just from this one move, Mr. Huang understood why the other party did not take his methods seriously.

Everything is ready, and the group of six naturally activates the true Qi in their bodies.

Wang Yi used his magical power to shrink the ground into an inch, and Wu Gensheng and the other four used the armored horses drawn on their feet to cross the desert and travel along the railway track connecting the northwest to North China.

Even though the Japanese have now occupied Beijing and Tianjin, and used them to control the main transportation routes connecting North China and the Northwest, they are still helpless when faced with Wang Yi and his group of practitioners who use tricks.

They traveled for three days and three nights without eating or drinking. It was all thanks to Wang Yi using his own true Qi to replenish the energy consumed by the armor and horses of the five people that they finally returned to the East China Branch in the Shanghai Concession on August 10.

At this time in Shanghai, the Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai had just broken into the airport and were shot dead.

This was also the fuse for the subsequent three-month-long Battle of Shanghai. After this battle, the elite troops of the National Government were severely damaged, but it also completely shattered the invaders' conspiracy to destroy China in three months.

But in Shanghai at the moment, although the whole city is shrouded in an atmosphere of impending storm due to the airport incident yesterday, the citizens are still hoping for the best, thinking that Shanghai is full of concessions and no matter how arrogant the Japanese are, they dare not do anything wrong. This is different from Beijing and Tianjin.

If we open fire here and the shells fall on other concessions or hit the embassy, ​​it would be tantamount to declaring war on other powers, which would not be worth the cost.

"Boss Wang, this Luotian Grand Ceremony is not held at the right time. Are you still going?"

"Go, of course you should go. If you don't go, you won't be able to wake up these famous and upright sects. You and I can't control what happens on the battlefield, but we are citizens first, and then practitioners. Before the country is cultivated, there are always things that we practitioners have to do. I've given you the money. Go find a place to stay first and don't cause trouble. Is that ok?"

"Okay, okay. These guys are the rare ones with good tempers in Quan Xing. If you have something to do, go ahead and do it first."

Taking the silver dollar handed over by Wang Yi, Wu Gensheng, who had come all the way in a sloppy manner, didn't care about anything else and left with Jin Feng and his disciples.

Jin Feng and the others did not refute. Instead, they looked at Wang Yi's back as he walked into the company building. He was also soaked in sweat and filled with the smell of sweat. They no longer had the same attitude towards Wang Yi as before.

They clearly felt how Wang Yi helped them replenish the Qi in the armor on their feet along the way. Without Wang Yi's replenishment, after this trip, it would not be just sweating all over, they would have vomited three liters of blood.

As a result, Wang Yi's face was as pale as gold paper at this moment, and he even had the energy to arrange them. With such cultivation level, it would be better to stay away from him if they were to meet again in the future.

After making arrangements for Wu Gensheng and the others, Wang Yi rushed to the company. Fortunately, his face was still useful at this time and he could enter the company without any obstruction.

In the company's office, Liu Wei, who is responsible for the company's operations in the East China region, was also receiving two guests.

One of the people Liu Wei knew was Zhang Zhiwei, but Zhang Zhiwei was just sitting there, listening to his companions talking to Liu Wei about Wang Yi.

"... I didn't expect that Lao Wang had already established contact with the organization at the end of the 16th year of the Republic of China. He gave me money and intelligence. That doesn't make sense. Where did this guy get his intelligence network before? If he has this ability, why does he need me?"

"That's his business. If Wang Yi hadn't given me the information, our comrades would have suffered heavy casualties in 1917. But don't worry, there are only three people in the organization who know about Wang Yi besides me. Wang Yi discussed with you before that he would retreat behind the scenes, and it was indeed a good idea for you to step forward. His role is greater than any of us, so we have to protect him."

"Since the organization has said so, I, Old Liu, will obey their orders. I don't know where this guy has gone. He said he was preparing for the Luotian Grand Ceremony, but he disappeared for a week. Right now, the Japanese are at their peak and have threatened to destroy China in three months. He didn't even come back to give us some advice. Old Zhang, go look for him."

"Hey, Lao Liu, the old saying is right, you can't talk about people during the day, and you can't talk about ghosts at night. Look, he's listening outside the door."

Zhang Zhiwei was making faces, and Liu Wei quickly got up to open the door, and saw that Wang Yi looked like a sickly man after rushing here.

"Are you going to fight against the Japanese army?"

"I don't have the time, but I've heard you say a lot of sarcastic things about me."

"Hey, Lao Wang, look who I brought to you. See if you recognize him."

Zhang Zhiwei behind Liu Wei greeted Wang Yi, and Liu Wei also moved aside, revealing the person behind him.

The man had a handsome appearance, with a sharp and scholarly air. Before Wang Yi could take a look at him, he spoke first.

"Comrade Wang Yi, it has been ten years since we last met at the railway station at the end of the 16th year of the Republic of China."

"Li Qiang?!"

Wang Yi recognized the man. He was a hard-core ruthless man who majored in civil engineering but could rub explosives with his hands. He met him when he first came to Beijing and just got his feet on the ground and was about to leave Beijing to kill a group of Japanese spies. He passed through Shanghai.

It was also through him that I got in touch with the organization for the first time.

I didn't expect that after more than ten years of separation, I would actually meet this hardcore tough guy again.
