Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 181 "Under One Person" Zhang Huaiyi

"Oh!"

Five against one, the golden light was brilliant, the thunder magic was dazzling. Zhuge Yuan was hit by the heavy hammer made of golden light, and just bounced and slid to the feet of the three people sitting on the main seats.

"Humph!"

Zhuge Yuan exerted his strength on his waist and abdomen, and immediately flipped in the air, showing the same great waist strength that He Songling showed outside the Lu family's gate that year. It was obvious that he had inherited the true teachings of Trinity.

"What a pity, we were just short of that." Zhuge Yuan smiled excitedly, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, turned around and shouted: "Brother, don't worry, we will definitely win this battle!"

Then he let out an "Ah" and pounced towards the center of the battle group again.

"Tsk, the boy is ignorant and makes people laugh. Old Master, this disciple of yours is really amazing!" He Songling sneered first, then turned his head to look at Zhang Jingqing.

"Hey, this kid is nothing. Look, if your fellow disciples make an effort, I think Huaiyi won't be able to hold on." The old Taoist also smiled and shook his head, but his smile looked so similar to the meaning of He Songling's smile.

"What kind of bullshit is that? There are only five of them. We fought from day to night, and then from night to dawn. Even if they were exhausted, they still couldn't beat Brother Huaiyi at all."

He Songling directly exposed Zhang Jingqing's nonsense, "He is quite good at hiding it. It is said in the underworld that Zhang Zhiwei suffered a loss from a fellow disciple in a competition. It should be him, right, Old Zhang?"

After He Songling finished speaking, he turned around and looked smugly at Zhang Zhiwei, who could only stand behind Zhang Jingqing.

Hehe, we all call each other brothers, but I sit and you can only stand at the back. He Songling couldn't hide his smugness on his face.

Zhang Zhiwei's face darkened immediately. "Let's compete with each other now. Do you think I will suffer a loss?"

"Forget it, I'll just beat you up for now, and we'll talk about it later. It's pointless to keep beating you up." He Songling didn't take Zhang Zhiwei's words seriously. This was the first time since he met Zhang Zhiwei that he had truly surpassed Bao Yingge in "Taoism".

Although He Songling had the upper hand in all the previous fights, it was all due to some technical skills or tricks like guns, cannons and grenades. If he really had to "win", it would be now.

With Bao Yingge's talent, in another ten years, after he fights the devils and gets seriously injured, and has a life-or-death enlightenment, he should be able to catch up with him at the third level. And when he becomes a heavenly master and is taught the complete thunder method, he will be at a level beyond the third level.

It's a pity that even though he was taught the complete Thunder Method, he was still locked up by the Heavenly Master and became the gatekeeper between "human" and "immortal", and the last hurdle of the "invincible road" envisioned by Ding Shimaan.

The "end" is behind him!

What a pity.

He Songling shook his head, thinking about whether he should save Zhang Huaiyi and prevent the Taoist priest from harming his good friend who could have reached the "end".

"Master Daozhu, Old Heavenly Master, there is no point in fighting any further. Let's stop watching these five guys perform monkey shows. They have made enough of themselves in Wudang Mountain. How about you two save some face for our Sanyi Sect?"

"My dear nephew, what you said is true. I think these five kids fought very well. They followed strict rules and knew when to advance and retreat. They had a lot of experience in fighting together. It seemed like they had some traces of military training."

Zhang Jingqing had a sly smile on his face: "More than ten years ago, I asked Lu Jin to beat the disciple behind me. Today, it's also good to let your five fellow apprentices beat my little disciple."

"It's too perfect. Sometimes it's just not perfect. Brother Huaiyi even used his thunder method, but he couldn't beat a mere first-level cultivator from the Sanyi Sect. Could it be that the Yang Thunder of the Tianshi Mansion is only this powerful?"

Zhang Jingqing was just an old scoundrel, so He Songling couldn't take him up on that: "Old Taoist priest said it well. More than a decade ago, Lu Jin failed to teach Old Zhang a lesson, and instead made a fool of himself. I made up for it then. So, I'll make up for it this time too."

As he spoke, he stood up and bowed to the head of Wudang Sect: "Master, can I move around a bit and come with the top disciples from Tianshi Mansion to entertain you in front of Zixiao Palace?" "Hahahahahahaha!"

Taoist Master Daozhu laughed out loud. His laughter blew his beard into a line parallel to the ground. He trembled his eyebrows and said, "That's great. With your reputation and status, it's an honor for Wudang to perform for me, the Taoist master."

"That's presumptuous." He Songling nodded, turned around and shouted, "You five, stop!"

"Why, senior brother, we are almost there, we are almost able to capture this disciple from Tianshi Mansion!" Although he did not understand, the discipline learned from military training still made Zhuge Yuan withdraw the formation. He led the five of them to slowly retreat to He Songling and bowed to the two elders.

"It's not your fault that you can't see through it. After all, this man can even hide it from his fellow disciples in Tianshi Mansion. But I asked you to step down and give you some respect, but you are still foolishly shouting. That's embarrassing."

He Songling slapped Zhuge Yuan on the back of his head: "Do you know that this man's surname was not Zhang before, but now it is Zhang."

"Ah? Oh..." Zhuge Yuan lived up to his surname, with a quick mind, he understood the implication of He Songling's words immediately.

His surname was not Zhang, but now it is Zhang, so it must be the "Zhang" in "Zhang Tianshi".

"Brother, I understand. You want us to save some face for the old master, right?"

"I'll go to you!"

He Songling was kicked out by Zhuge Yuan, and he almost rolled out of the white marble square used for Wudang martial arts performances. If two Wudang disciples hadn't been kind enough to stop him, he might have rolled all the way down the mountain.

"It doesn't matter whether his last name is Zhang or not. I think you should stop using the last name Zhuge. It's embarrassing for the old prime minister."

He Songling took a step forward and came in front of Zhang Huaiyi, "Zhang Huaiyi, right? You were having a lot of fun teasing my junior brother just now. Let's do it together?"

This was the first time He Songling met Zhang Huaiyi. Before, he had only enjoyed teasing him, but he had never seen this "one man below the others", who had the best fighting ability among the thirty-six thieves and the most important position in the whole story.

The first impression is that this person has really big ears. Even with his dwarf height of just over 1.5 meters, he can't hide his round protruding ears. He really looks like the mouse in the cartoons when I was a child. No wonder he is also called the mouse and the big-eared thief.

The second feeling is that he really hides it very well. Even if you have the answer in advance, you can't see any flaws in him when you face him. He really has done the word "hide" to the extreme. Even if he is put in a steady fantasy novel, this person can be the protagonist at least.

Speaking of the matter of bestowing the surname Zhang, I remembered that some people said that Zhang Huaiyi had to wait for the old Taoist priest to bestow the surname Zhang before he dared to use the surname Zhang, but Zhang Zhiwei was just pretending to be surnamed Zhang because I was strong, and anyone who disagrees can come and beat me.

Nonsense.

Although the young man Zhang Zhiwei is quite unreliable, he respects his teacher. As a disciple of Tianshi Mansion, can he claim to be the founder's surname without the master's approval?

There are two interpretations of "假姓". The first is the later vernacular interpretation. The real meaning of 假姓 is to inherit the surname of the person who raises you. "Book of Han·Volume 55·Biography of Wei Qing" states: "Qing has the same mother as Wei Changjun and his sister Zifu. Zifu was from the family of Princess Pingyang and was favored by Emperor Wu, so Qing assumed the surname Wei."

Zhang Zhiwei was an orphan when he was young. He was picked up by Zhang Jingqing. He didn't know where he came from, so he just took Zhang Jingqing's surname. Zhang Huaiyi had a family and followed his parents in business when he was young. Later, his family was ruined, so he went to the mountains to become a monk. Your surname was not Zhang originally, but I gave you a surname, so it is called a given surname.

It is the same as Zheng Chenggong's "Guo Xing Ye", which is given to you by your elders or superiors. Giving him the surname Wang, Liu, Li, and Zhao is also called giving a surname. In essence, Zhang Jingqing gave the surname Zhang with two meanings. The first is that I treat you as my own, and the second is that I treat you as my successor.

Zhang Jingqing said in the Lu family compound that "Zhang Zhiwei's Zhang is a fake surname", meaning that he took my surname, just like my son. For a long time, the position of the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain was passed down from father to son, so Lu Jin knew at that time that Zhang Zhiwei was the person who might inherit the position of Heavenly Master.

Otherwise, if you pretend to be Zhang Tianshi, you will be qualified to inherit Tianshi. This logic does not make sense at all.
