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

Zhang Zhiwei said: "The reason why the air has texture is because it contains the power of life and death in thunder, which is the innate qi."

"If you don't know the way of a saint, just relying on ordinary breathing will not cause much loss to this innate Qi. Even if everyone in the mansion comes to the training ground to practice, it will be enough."

"It's actually the innate qi... no wonder it's so magical." Zhang Shoucheng sighed.

Zhang Yi thought more, "If that's the case, then if we don't absorb all of it every time, can the concentration of the innate Qi here continue to increase?"

Others also looked over here. If this could continue to stack up, then this situation would be very terrifying.

"You wish!" Zhang Zhiwei said, "The innate qi cannot last long. Just like when a person is born, the innate qi will be transformed into the limbs and bones. The innate qi will also be transformed into yin and yang qi, and finally become the natural law of heaven and earth."

"It's just that I used the Qi Bureau to interfere with this process, causing the differentiation of the innate Qi here to be slower. But even so, it won't last too long. At most three to five days, at least one or two days, the innate Qi inside will dissipate."

"However, the thunder at midnight every night will bring new innate energy, so even if you can't store it, you don't have to worry about running out of it."

Zhang Yi said: "It's a pity that we can't store it, but we should be content. I have a feeling that if we stay in there for a long time, we can live a few more years."

Zhang Zhiwei said: "Uncle Master, your innate Qi is still full now, why worry about these things?"

"You said I was satisfied, but I often feel that I am not as good as I used to be."

After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he asked his disciples to move the tables and chairs. With this thing, who can sleep tonight?

He couldn't wait until tomorrow to move, so he decided to sleep here today. However, he still had some shame and didn't ask his apprentice to bring a bed directly.

Seeing Zhang Yi like this, Zhang Shoucheng didn't go back to sleep. However, he was too embarrassed to move a table and chairs, so he just found a cushion and sat down to meditate.

Two uncle-masters set an example, and others followed suit, taking out cushions to meditate. Some who were not particular were too lazy to even take a cushion and just meditated on the spot.

Even Lu Jin and Lu Ci were no exception. Although they were not on good terms and often quarreled, they unexpectedly sat together at this time.

The only difference is that one was respectable, with a cushion under him, while the other was not respectable, sitting directly on the ground with a hoe on his knees.

"Hedgehog, why don't you go hoe the fields?" Lu Jin couldn't help but speak.

"My practice is not limited to hoeing the fields. Besides, what does it have to do with you whether I hoe the fields or not?" Lu Ci said unhappily. After that, he looked around, wondering if he could hoe the fields right here in the training ground.

Lu Jin was furious. Seeing Lu Ci like this, he immediately guessed what he was thinking and said:
"What are you looking at? If you have the guts, go dig up this training ground and see if Senior Brother Zhang will give you a good result."

"If you keep talking nonsense, I don't know whether Senior Brother Zhang will give me a good result, but I won't give you a good result anyway." Lu Ci said bluntly.

"Haha, it's hard to say who will get the best deal!" Lu Jin did not give in.

"I say, you two, what's the point of arguing? Why don't you just have a fight and see what's the winner?"

"It's just talk without practice, let's fight, and then talk about the problem again during the fight."

"Yes, yes, yes. With so many people watching, you two should not lose face!"

"That's right, everyone, cheer up."

A group of Taoists came to watch the fun and added fuel to the fire.

However, Lu Ci and Lu Jin were not fooled. If they did not add fuel to the fire, they could still have an argument. But once they were added fuel to the fire, they immediately stopped fighting, snorted coldly, and calmed down to practice.

There was no good show to watch, so everyone secretly thought it was a pity and immediately started practicing.

Zhang Zhiwei did not practice here. He could breathe in and out the innate Qi. If he practiced inside, he could absorb the innate Qi in just a few breaths. So after finishing the arrangement, he returned to his own room.

Ever since the cultivation barrier set up by the crooked tree, and his recent frequent retreats, he hasn't returned to his room for a long time.

However, even though I hadn't been back for a long time, the room was spotless and even the water in the kettle was still warm.

Apparently, someone had been cleaning the place while he was away.

Zhang Zhiwei sat cross-legged on the bed and began to enter a state of meditation. His meditation skills were already very high, and after beheading the three corpses, they became even better.

After entering into meditation, his whole body entered into a mysterious state of tranquility and inaction, and all the changes of yin and yang around him seemed to be in his heart.

He began to visualize his surroundings, and then visualize himself. The vast universe around him and the small universe of the human body reflected each other, and seemed to be about to cause some kind of resonance, but there was a lack of opportunity and they could not be completely in sync.

"I have already entered a state of unity between man and nature. This resonance is not so much a resonance with heaven and earth as it is a resonance with the environment of the Tianshi Mansion, the Feng Shui structure that has been maintained for a thousand years."

"What will happen if the resonance is successful?"

Zhang Zhiwei thought to himself, and then he tried a few more times, but still failed, so he gave up. He never persisted in such things, and began to temper his life again.

Early the next morning, the bronze bell of the Great Shangqing Palace rang, and the Taoist priests who stayed behind in the Zhengyi Temple came to the Tianshi Hall of the Tianshi Mansion for morning lessons. However, they found that on the training ground, there were groups of Taoist priests gathered in twos and threes. Some were meditating, some were practicing sword skills, some were doing boxing, and some were taking a nap in the auspicious lying position.

"What are you doing?"

"Why hasn't the morning class started yet? You guys are already practicing?"

"The sun is really shining in the west."

……

A group of Taoists were discussing the matter. They had stayed at Zhengyi Temple last night and didn't know much about what was going on here.

"Don't you feel anything different?" Tian Jinzhong said.

A Taoist priest from Zhengyi Temple felt it carefully and immediately found something unusual:

"The Qi here is so rich!"

"That was last night, Senior Brother Zhiwei and Master were together..." Tian Jinzhong immediately began to narrate.

After knowing the whole story, the Taoists in Zhengyi Temple suddenly realized that the big commotion yesterday was actually the Tianshi and Zhiwei setting up the Qi Bureau.

"This Qi situation is so magical, do we still need to go to the Tianshi Temple for morning lessons?" said a young Taoist priest.

"Snapped!"

At this time, Zhang Yi, who was lying on his back with his feet on the table, picked up the seal on the table and used it as a gavel, and slammed the table. The crowd was in a state of silence, and everyone looked over. It turned out that there were several other uncles present, but they were in the corner of the training ground, and there was a table blocking their view, so they were not noticed at first.

"Morning and evening classes will be held here from now on." Zhang Yi made the decision immediately.

"Uncle Master is wise!" The other Taoists applauded.

Zhang Shoucheng next to him opened his mouth and wanted to stop it, but when he saw this scene, he closed his mouth silently.

Afterwards, the tradition of holding morning classes in the Tianshi Hall of the Tianshi Mansion was moved to the parade ground in a dignified manner.

Some old Taoists who did not live in the Tianshi Mansion but lived in seclusion in other places in Longhu Mountain were very dissatisfied with Zhang Yi's decision. They said that people's hearts were no longer the same as before and the laws of their ancestors could not be distinguished. They came to Zhang Yi to argue with him.

Some Taoist priests who were older than Zhang Jingqing even brought their swords and said they would cut off his nose and hair bun and beat him until he was left with a tearing tooth.

However, after seeing the benefits of the Qi Bureau, even those stubborn old Taoists who were not keen on magical powers and only loved to study classics changed their minds and felt that it was not a bad idea to have morning and evening classes here.

Therefore, over the following period of time, a trend was developed in Tianshi Mansion whereby a large number of people would gather at the door no matter what time it was.

Zhang Jingqing did not ask too much about this change. Although Taoists emphasize tranquility and inaction, it is always good to be diligent in practicing. Especially now that the world is not stable, self-defense measures are particularly important.

The mountain remained the same, but the situation below was ever-changing and turbulent.

First, problems arose in Nanjing. Some opposition forces built another capital in Guangzhou, which confronted Nanjing, leading to a split between Nanjing and Guangdong.

Immediately afterwards, torrential rain fell across China, which lasted for half a month and angered the grumpy old mother.

The mother Yellow River broke through the river channel with an elbow strike, affecting several provinces and leaving many people homeless.

As the saying goes, good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes singly. The mother Yellow River elbowed in the front, and the mother Yangtze River whipped closely behind, directly flooding the downstream into the Yunmeng Lake.

The flood affected eight provinces, and large tracts of land turned into ocean. At one place where Dongting Lake and the Yangtze River meet, only a few mountains were exposed above the water. Many towns in Wuhan were directly turned into swamps.

The entire urban area of ​​Wuhu was over ten feet deep in water. On one side was the temperature as high as a furnace, and on the other side was the raging flood. Countless victims lived on the roofs, surrounded by smelly corpses floating. In such a harsh environment, the flood had not yet ended, and the plague began to spread again.

Floods, famine, and plague have displaced many people from their homes.

Zhang Zhiwei really felt powerless about this disaster.

Although many people call him a natural disaster, natural disasters also have different levels. Avalanches and snow avalanches are natural disasters, earthquakes and tsunamis are also natural disasters. The former are far from being comparable to the latter.

It is impossible for him to block the breach of the dam. Not to mention whether he can block it or not, even if he can, he cannot block all the hundreds of breaches across the country.

The only thing he could do was to bring his fellow disciples from Mount Longhu down the mountain to help with disaster relief, and then use his own reputation to call on the entire world of extraordinary people to participate.

The Shangqing Sect of Maoshan and the Lingbao Sect of Gezhao Mountain were the first to respond, and they sent disciples to Longhu Mountain to obey his orders.

The Sanyi Sect and the four major families were the second to respond and also sent disciples to participate and obey his orders.

With the participation of the Trinity Sect and the Four Families, the Huode Sect, the Shuzi Sect, the Three Putuo Temples, the Shaolin Temple, the Natural Sect... almost all the well-known forces in the world of extraordinary people have sent out a considerable number of disciples to cooperate with Zhang Zhiwei.

At one time, Zhang Zhiwei had hundreds of skilled extraordinary people under his command. In the face of disasters, ordinary people could hardly protect themselves, let alone provide disaster relief, but the extraordinary people were able to save people from danger time and time again with various means.

However, saving people alone is not enough. Subsequent resources must keep up. After all, hundreds of millions of people need to eat, and this is the big expense. Even if various extraordinary sects donate generously, it is still far from enough.

In order to raise money, Zhang Zhiwei asked all forces under the Tiantong Church to operate at full speed, contributing money and manpower without sparing any effort to transport various supplies to the disaster area.

During this process, if any party dared to profit from the national crisis, he would directly send people to confiscate their property and destroy their entire family to serve as a warning to others.

It is worth mentioning that at this critical juncture, the Jinling side ignored the urgency of the disaster and instead launched a third attack.

He personally mobilized 30 troops, adopted a strategy of advancing straight ahead, and launched a pincer attack in two directions, intending to capture them in one fell swoop.

But the result was... Despite having ten times more troops than the enemy, they were defeated by various infiltration tactics, and after more than 30,000 people were killed, they fled in disgrace.

Just a few days after this incident, the flood had not yet ended, and the Japanese pirates launched an incident and raided Beidaying.

The defenders of Beidaying were ordered not to open fire. Only a few soldiers disobeyed the order and risked their lives to fight the Japanese pirates. There were heavy casualties, and Beidaying was eventually lost.

Early in the morning, the Japanese pirates attacked Fengtian City, occupied the arsenal and airport, looted a large number of rifles and artillery shells, and at the same time attacked other places. Within a week, they controlled all railways and occupied more than 30 cities.

Zhang Zhiwei paid attention to this battle. Even the Gao family in the Northeast and some immortals contacted him, but he just paid attention and did not intervene personally.

First, he and the Alien Disaster Relief Alliance, along with all the forces under the Tiantong Church, were busy fighting floods and disaster relief and had no energy to deal with this matter.

Secondly, he really didn't have the guts to do it. Yes, he could have settled the matter when the incident occurred. It was just a few hundred Japanese pirates, and he could have killed them if he wanted to.

But what would happen after killing them? This was not a question of whether to kill or not. He could kill those Japanese pirates, and Beidaying could also...

They hope for a diplomatic solution. If you resort to force, you will be in trouble both inside and outside. He is not afraid, but don't affect your fellow apprentices...

The most important thing is that this kind of thing is not something he can handle alone. He should concentrate on flood control and disaster relief. Saving thousands of victims every day is more meaningful to him than killing thousands of Japanese pirates.

Even if we have to take action, we have to wait until the situation is settled and we are united in our hatred of the enemy.

It is worth mentioning that during the disaster relief, Zhang Sanjia unexpectedly contacted him, hoping to use him to purchase a batch of medicines.

There was no other way. Although we had defeated the enemy, we were still in a state of blockade and Western medicine was almost cut off.

The war zone hospital only has a small amount of basic medicines such as iodine and hydrogen peroxide. Even the saline used for disinfection has to be used repeatedly, and even this was captured on the battlefield.

In desperation, they could only make their own substitutes, such as applying pumpkin pulp to wounds to reduce inflammation, boiling ointments with lard and borneol, using moss and fir bark instead of gauze, making tweezers and probes out of bamboo tubes, and using salt water and concentrated iodine instead of disinfectants...

But the casualty rate of this crude method was too high. For the sake of the soldiers' lives, they could only take the risk and purchase secretly through underground channels.

But since it is an underground channel, the number is definitely not that large, and it is far from enough to meet the needs of the wounded who have just finished a battle.

At this critical moment, Zhang Sanjia heard about Zhang Zhiwei's flood prevention and disaster relief work, and he immediately became interested.

The Little Heavenly Master was able to mobilize so many resources for disaster relief. If he could allocate some of them to us, wouldn't the brothers be saved? !

He then contacted Zhang Zhiwei using the Yin-Yang paper Zhang Zhiwei left him. (End of this chapter)
