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

Chapter 551 Returning to Mount Longhu, the New King Tian Jinzhong

The huge palm enlarged before his eyes. Lu Ci's clothes could not withstand the pressure and tore, revealing his body as hard as iron. But he could not move, as if Zhang Zhiwei's palm brought about an unavoidable death.

Past memories flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern, as if summarizing his life. This was a person's instinctive reaction when faced with an irresistible life-and-death crisis.

But then.

"boom!"

The bony palm landed an inch in front of Lu Ci's face and did not move.

Seeing this, Lu Jin, who was not far away, sighed and said what a pity, it was so close, just so close!
Don't expose someone's weaknesses when scolding him, and don't hit someone in the face, this is what the master often said. If it was an insignificant outsider, he would just give him a slap in the face, but the hedgehog was a little brother who had followed him for a long time.

So, when the slap was about to land on Lu Ci's face, Zhang Zhiwei held back and did not slap him. Instead, he flicked his finger between Lu Ci's eyebrows, sending the stunned Lu Ci flying.

Lu Ci flew backwards several meters, rolled a few times on the ground, then sat down on the ground in a utterly ungraceful manner, covering the big bump between his eyebrows with his hands, staring blankly at Zhang Zhiwei. His face was pale and he was gasping for breath.

Whether it was the Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound or the Ruyi Power that incorporated the characteristics of shock force and collapse force, both consumed a lot of energy. Now Lu Ci didn't even have the strength to get up.

"How is it?" Zhang Zhiwei asked.

"I have benefited a lot, especially Brother Zhang's control over strength. He can stop such a heavy palm force at will. It's simply a magical skill. I can't do it, otherwise I wouldn't have knocked Old Lu away with one palm!" Lu Ci exclaimed.

"If you don't say the last sentence, no one will think you are dumb!" Lu Jin looked unhappy and pouted, saying, "Besides, you said it as if you could stop if you could!"

"You are right. I won't take it back even if I can, but I can promise that I won't beat you to death. The gap between you and me will only get bigger and bigger. Of course I have to think about your safety!" Lu Ci was quite proud of himself as his long-time rival had become a defeated general.

"Remember your smug face now, let's see who will be embarrassed later!" Lu Jin would not admit defeat.

The two enemies started arguing with each other, and Zhang Zhiwei raised two bent fingers.

This is the head-banging posture.

The two of them had four bumps on their foreheads. They looked at each other, snorted coldly, and dared not do it again.

"I didn't ask you how your palm strike was. I was asking about your health and whether you can still walk?" Zhang Zhiwei asked.

"It's a bit risky. The Qi is okay and can be recovered by meditating for a while. But using the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound to integrate the Shock Force and the Collapse Force into the Ruyi Force is quite exhausting to the mind. After two times, I now have a splitting headache and it's hard to calm down and meditate. I guess I need to have a good rest for a while!" Lu Ci said.

"There's no place for you to practice in this wilderness. Old Lu, the hedgehog is left to you. You and the hedgehog can ride on the same horse!" Zhang Zhiwei arranged.

"Old Lu and I..." Lu Ci's face changed and he was about to refuse.

"no problem!"

Lu Jin said with a happy face, and then raised his eyebrows towards Lu Ci with a malicious smile, "I didn't expect the retribution to come so quickly. You fell into my hands, and you still have something to suffer?"

Lu Ci had a bitter look on his face and wanted to get up, but Lu Jin had already rushed to him, grabbed his legs, lifted him upside down, threw him on the horse's back like a piece of cargo, and then climbed on top.

"Senior Brother Zhang, let's go. I feel full of energy and can run back to Longhu Mountain in one breath!" Lu Jin patted Lu Ci on the back and said with a smile.

Zhang Zhiwei glanced at Lü Ci lying on the horse's back. With the speed of Fu Ma, this posture would probably be very painful. Most people would not be able to hold on. However, Lü Ci was not an ordinary person. He thought it would be no problem.

"In that case, let's set off!"

Zhang Zhiwei jumped on his horse, rode away at a rapid speed.

Lu Jin followed closely behind.

Zhang Zhiwei's Fu Ma walked steadily.

Lu Jin's Fu Ma ran like a mad wild horse.

“Ahhh…Fuck, ahhhh fuck…Fuck…I want to get off the horse…”

Lu Ci’s screams continued to ring out.

…………

…………

Longhu Mountain, the black hall.

There are three portraits hanging in the main hall, namely the first Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling, the 30th Heavenly Master Zhang Jixian, and the 43rd Heavenly Master Zhang Yuchu.

These three Heavenly Masters are the top three Heavenly Masters in the history of Mount Longhu. They have made great contributions to the Heavenly Masters Temple, so their portraits are hung up for people to worship.

Below the portrait, contemporary Heavenly Master Zhang Jingqing and Zuo Rutong sit opposite each other, each expounding on the principles and theories of spiritual practice.

They discussed the Dao without realizing that time and space were so short. Who would have thought that a thousand years had passed? The two of them sat and discussed the Dao for half a month, and it was finally coming to an end.

"Master Zuo, the Way of Heaven is vast and infinite, and even the smallest of it is beyond the comprehension of mortals. Heaven and earth are the inns of all things, and time is the passer-by of hundreds of generations. You and I just need to be clear-minded and have a righteous heart, without fear or regret!" Zhang Jingqing reminded.

“No fear, no regrets!” Zuo Rutong muttered to himself, then nodded with a smile: “Master Tian’s words are like enlightenment to me!”

Fearlessness means not making any assumptions about the future, not worrying or being afraid no matter what happens, solving whatever comes, letting it go if it cannot be solved, and not being attached to anything.

No regrets means complete acceptance of the past. All the past can be summed up in one sentence: everything that happened is beneficial to me. It is about being calm and quiet, being quiet and at peace, being at peace and thinking, and gaining through thinking.

"Master Zuo, you are too polite. I have benefited a lot from discussing with you!" Zhang Jingqing said with a smile.

Zuo Ruotong cupped his hands and said, "It is better to act than to sit and talk. Heavenly Master, I am sorry for disturbing you for too long. I have something on my mind, so I will take my leave now!"

Zhang Jingqing also bowed and said, "Talking about the Dao can be magnificent, but taking action can turn the world upside down. Sect Leader Zuo wants to leave, but I won't keep you. See you later!"

Afterwards, Zuo Rutong pushed open the heavy door of the palace, laughed and left. When he walked outside, he saw a young Taoist priest coming with a food box, so he asked his disciple where Lu Jin was.

Tian Jinzhong, who delivered the meal, told Zuo Rutong that Lu Jin and his senior brother Zhang Zhiwei had gone down the mountain and had not returned yet.

Zuo Rutong pondered for a moment, left a word, and strode away. He was very fast, as if riding the wind, and disappeared on Longhu Mountain in just three or two steps.

Tian Jinzhong stared at Zuo Rutong blankly, muttering to himself: "I wish I could be as handsome as Zuo Men!"

At this time, a senior brother passing by reminded him: "Jinzhong, what are you doing standing there? The food is getting cold."

"Oh oh oh, okay!" Tian Jinzhong hurried in to deliver the meal. After delivering it, he ran back to his room without stopping and began to practice.

This time, his senior brother went down the mountain to eliminate Quan Xing, but did not take him with him. He was very frustrated. Thinking back to the last time his senior brother went to the Northeast without him, he realized that he was too weak and his senior brother did not want to take him on the adventure. He needed to improve.

"Sure enough, I can't be too relaxed. I have to learn a little from Senior Brother Zhiwei and Huaiyi and quickly improve my strength..."

Tian Jinzhong thought about it and realized that tempering one's life is a long and arduous process and there is no point in being impatient. He has been practicing the Golden Light Mantra for so many years and although he has been making progress, the progress is not fast. It is almost impossible to expect it to make him make a sudden breakthrough.

"In terms of rapidly improving your strength, you still have to look at the technique!"

Tian Jinzhong took out the One Yang Finger secret book that he bought from the nameless old beggar in Magic City.

This secret book has been in his hands for some time. With Zhang Zhiwei's guidance, he would naturally be able to learn it. However, the grade of the book is a bit low. Even with his own cultivation as a foundation, he has only been able to cultivate to the seventh grade in these days.

The seventh-grade One Yang Finger can give a person powerful finger strength. Once performed, it can poke a hole in the stone floor. Its effect is somewhat similar to that of the Iron Finger Technique.

This power is actually not bad, but it is not a problem if you don't know the goods, but a problem if you compare the goods. The power displayed by the Seventh-Rank One Yang Finger is far less than the Golden Light Curse that he is currently proficient in, so Tian Jinzhong has become a little slack in practicing it.

“Although the seventh-grade one is not very good, but my senior brother once said that One Finger of Sun is a very malleable ability. At the fourth grade, one can use One Finger of Sun as a foundation to practice Six Meridians Divine Sword.”

"I only saw the Six Meridians Divine Sword once at the stall of that old beggar. I couldn't find the person who used it later. I guess I can't learn it. I can only continue to practice the One Finger Zen."

“But my senior brother also said that if one can cultivate the One Yang Finger to the first level, one can compress the Qi in the body, condense it at a point and release it. Once it is performed, its power is comparable to that of heavy firearms. In terms of power alone, it is no less powerful than the Six Meridians Divine Sword.”

"If my One Finger Zen can reach that level, I won't be a burden to my brother anymore!"

Tian Jinzhong muttered to himself, then opened the secret book. There was a picture on it of a naked man sitting cross-legged with acupuncture points marked on his body and the trajectory of Qi drawn with red and black lines.

The One Yang Finger is Shaoyang, not pure Yang. When practicing, you need to start from the Shaoyang Sanjiao meridian. The Qi is adjusted out from the Dantian, and then to the shoulder and arm acupoints, from the Qinglengyuan to the Tianjing in the elbow, and further down to the Sidu, Sanyangluo, Huizong, Waiguan,... and finally shoot out from the Shangyang point.

Tian Jinzhong sat up slowly, and as he circulated his Qi, he felt the true Qi in his body surging. His right forearm kept shaking, and a big lump suddenly appeared at the Kongzui acupoint on his wrist, as if something was about to rush out.

Tian Jinzhong was shocked. More haste makes waste. He had practiced Qi incorrectly and gone astray. He tried to calm his Qi quickly, but if it was that easy, going astray would not be something that people would be terrified of in the cultivation world.

The Qi bag at Kongzui acupoint not only did not go down, but instead started running around in his body.

……

……

At the same time, on the mountain road at the foot of Mount Longhu, three figures on horseback were approaching from afar.

The people who came were Zhang Zhiwei, Lu Ci and Lu Jin.

Previously, because Lu Ci had consumed too much energy, Lu Jin put him on the horse's back and carried him for a while. Lu Jin took the opportunity to take revenge and almost shook Lu Ci's internal organs out.

After suffering all the way, Lu Ci, who had just recovered a little strength, couldn't wait to ask to ride the horse himself and deal with Lu Jin.

Zhang Zhiwei agreed to ride the horse himself, but rejected the idea of ​​taking care of Old Lu. In fact, he really wanted to see Lu Jin and Lu Ci compete, but they were in a hurry and time did not allow it.

Lu Ci had no choice but to give up and could only ride on his horse while looking at Lu Jin's back with an unfriendly look. He thought to himself, if it weren't for Senior Brother Zhang, he would have to let this guy Lu have a taste of my power.

The three riders rode at a very fast speed, leaping over the gate archway of the Tianshi Mansion at the foot of the mountain, greeted their fellow disciples guarding the mountain, exchanged a few polite words, and then headed towards the Dashangqing Palace.

As the acting Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu, he wanted to go and see his master, but as soon as he arrived at the gate of the Great Shangqing Palace, he heard his senior brother at the gate say that his master had been discussing Taoism with Zuo Menchang for nearly half a month, and his mind was exhausted. He had already returned to the Heavenly Master's private residence to rest. If there was nothing very important, don't disturb him.

In this case, Zhang Zhiwei did not disturb him. In his opinion, it was just killing a group of Quanxing monsters, which was far less important than letting his master rest.

"Senior brother, where is my master? Where is my master?" Lu Jin asked hurriedly.

"Master Lu, your master, Chief Zuo, has already left the mountain." said the senior brother.

"My master left?" Lu Jin was stunned: "When?"

"Just half a day ago!" said the senior brother.

"Master, why didn't you wait?" Lu Jin wailed, and then asked, "Did my master leave any words?"

"Yes, there is. It seems that they want you to stay in Longhu Mountain and follow Zhiwei to observe and learn well!" said the senior brother.

"Watch carefully and learn well?" Lu Jin frowned and complained in his heart, is this really what my master said?

It’s not that he thought his master would not let him practice under Zhang Zhiwei, but this sentence was too crude and simple, and it didn’t seem like something his master would say.

"I also heard it from this kid Jinzhong. I have forgotten the details, but Jinzhong must remember it. If you want to know, you should go ask him directly!" suggested the senior brother.

Lu Jin suddenly realized: "So it came from Jinzhong. I'm not surprised. Let's go and ask him."

Immediately, several people asked what Tian Jinzhong was doing, and after learning that he was practicing in the monastery, they rushed over.

At this moment, in the training room, because of the stitch in the side during practice, the Qi in his body was running wild. Tian Jinzhong's face was blood red and his hair was standing on end, which was very scary. This was a sign that his blood vessels were full. If he continued like this, he was afraid that they would explode. He was becoming more and more anxious.

But at this moment, the door of the monastery was suddenly pushed open, and Zhang Zhiwei suddenly pushed the door open. Seeing Tian Jinzhong's current appearance, he pointed a finger at his forehead without saying a word, helping him to clear the blood circulation.

With the help of Zhang Zhiwei, this Qi ball that branched off at Kongzui acupoint first came to Dayuan acupoint, then jumped to Chize acupoint, and then went down to Yuji acupoint. While circling back and forth, this ball of chaotic Qi actually followed his mind and went up along the arm in a circuitous way, rising to the elbow, and even to the upper arm...

The diverted Qi was untied and began to flow along the meridians again. Tian Jinzhong's annoyance and disgust immediately disappeared, and he felt a strong sense of security in his heart.

He quickly concentrated on controlling the flow of this Qi, overcoming the difficulties in one fell swoop and advancing the One Yang Finger from the seventh level to the sixth level. Afterwards, he absorbed the Qi into his Dantian.

"call……"

Tian Jinzhong let out a long breath, and when he opened his eyes, he saw his senior brother standing in front of him like a mountain. He quickly stood up and said with a look of surprise:

"Brother, when did you come back?"

"Just now, luckily I came in time, otherwise you would have suffered." As he spoke, Zhang Zhiwei glanced at the One Finger Yang Secret Book on the ground: "Just now, I saw that your Qi was still a little unstable at the seventh level. Why are you in such a hurry to rush to the sixth level?"

"Senior Brother, I really want to improve. Is there any way to quickly reach the first level?" Tian Jinzhong told the truth.

"Look, you're anxious again." Zhang Zhiwei said unhappily.
