Zongwu: Aspiring to be the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 17: Grand Event? Wind, Rain, Thunder and Lightning

"What is this old monster doing here for no reason?"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Zhou Ming already knew that Yin Zhong came here to do business.

However, Zhou Ming didn't believe it.

But Yin Zhong obviously would not reveal his true intentions.

Zhou Ming could only keep this question in his heart.

"Brother Yin, if you have time this time, maybe you can attend a grand event."

"Festival?"

"That's right!" Pei Ju said, "After the New Year, on April 19th of next year, it will be the centenary of Master Zhang of Wudang Mountain!"

"Hundredth birthday..."

Yin Zhong smiled and said, "That's really a big deal."

In this world where martial arts flourish and the strong can even directly influence the destiny of a country, Zhang Sanfeng is one of those strong men.

Although in terms of realm, Zhang Sanfeng may just be a grandmaster.

But there are also gaps between grand masters.

Some people have just set foot here.

Some people, however, have already reached the top and can be called invincible grandmasters!
Moreover, in this world, the establishment of the Ming Dynasty had a lot to do with Zhang Sanfeng. After the founding of the country, he was given generous rewards. The subsequent emperors would definitely give him more titles when they ascended the throne.

Crazy elevation of Zhang Sanfeng's status in the Ming Dynasty.

I was afraid that he would run away to other countries one day.

Yin Zhong asked curiously, "But I've heard that Master Zhang is always simple and doesn't like ostentation. Is he planning a grand celebration for his centenary? Otherwise, how can it be called a grand event?"

Pei Ju said, "At this moment, this matter has not been confirmed, but His Majesty has expressed interest in this regard. However, the specific details will depend on Master Zhang's response."

"So, this event hasn't been decided yet?"

"That's why I said you 'might' be able to participate."

"Hahaha……"

After eating and drinking, Pei Ju still had things to deal with, so Yin Zhong didn't stay any longer and went back to his room to rest.

"Changping, practice the martial arts that my second uncle gave you well. If you have any questions, just ask me."

Changping is Zhou Ming's courtesy name.

"Uncle, don't worry. I will definitely not miss this opportunity to seek guidance from a powerful master."

"Hahaha, that's good."

After Yin Zhong left, Pei Ju also warned: "The martial arts of this Yujian Villa are extraordinary, don't underestimate it."

"Yes, I will practice well."

Zhou Mingxin said, do I need to remind you of this? That is the martial arts given to him by Yin Zhong.

Even in this world of comprehensive martial arts, there are probably very few people whose realm can be compared with Yin Zhong.

The martial arts bestowed by such a master are naturally extraordinary.

After Zhou Ming returned, he checked carefully and found that it was true.

This skill can be simply divided into two realms, one is sword energy, and the other is sword finger.

Sword Qi is the process of sending out a sword Qi with one's fingers.

The sword finger wielder condenses sword energy on his fingers, forming a long sword similar to a physical entity.

The former is comparable to the Six Meridians Divine Sword of the Duan family of Dali Kingdom, and the latter is not inferior to the Qi-Gathering Blade of the Yin-Yang family of Qin Kingdom.

In terms of specific applications, there are also the Five Elements Sword and the Seven Absolute Styles.

"As expected of the God and Demon Yin Zhong, his moves are truly extraordinary!"

But it was already late, so Zhou Ming read it through and didn't practice it immediately.

The next day, he went fishing in the lake near his home.

At this time, there is a covered bridge in the lake, connecting to the small pavilion in the lake.

The pavilion is named 'Qianjin Pavilion'. Zhou Ming ordered its construction before he left. Now that he has returned, it has been completed.

Zhou Ming can now sit directly in the pavilion and fish instead of sitting by the lake as before.

Chunhua led the four people over and said, "Master, they are here."

"Hush! Stand aside and don't speak. Don't scare away my fish!"

"Yes."

Chunhua stood on one side, so the other four people naturally had to stand on the other side as well.

This stop lasted until noon.

For more than an hour, Zhou Ming was casting bait, setting hooks, and catching fish. From time to time, he would give instructions to the maids next to him, but he ignored these four people.

But these four people stood there straight, without saying a word, and even their expressions did not change much.

Zhou Ming nodded secretly.

It seems that the few people sent by my adoptive father to serve me are not bad. However, the mark that should be given must still be given.

At noon, Zhou Ming ate fresh fish hotpot directly in the pavilion, and the aroma wafted in the air.

Halfway through the meal, he finally spoke to the four people and said, "Are you the ones my adoptive father assigned to me?"

"Yes...my subordinate Dao Feng!"

"Sword rain from my subordinates!"

"My subordinate Jing Lei!"

"My subordinates are lightning fast!"

"I've met the young master!"

Zhou Ming nodded. "Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning? Nice name. How many of you are there? How strong are you? What are you good at?"

"Four of my subordinates are at the Xiantian Perfection Realm, and each of them has nine subordinates, all of whom are at the Xiantian Realm! Besides combat, they are best at stealth, gathering intelligence, and pursuing assassinations."

"Ah."

Zhou Ming nodded. "My adoptive father entrusted you to me. I have great faith in your abilities, but after all, your abilities haven't been demonstrated before my eyes. So, I have a few small matters to hand over to you."

Chunhua came forward with a tray with four sealed letters on it.

"Four tasks, each different, randomly selected."

The four of them stepped forward and went to get the letter.

"Okay, go do it."

"Yes."

After lunch, Zhou Ming decided to do something serious.

Taking out the Sword Qi Finger secret book and reading it again, Zhou Ming then mobilized the true energy in his body and began to practice and learn.

After half an hour, he felt it was almost done.

In the portable space, a perfect energy suddenly disappeared and poured into Zhou Ming's body.

Zhou Ming instantly perked up, all the fatigue and mental exhaustion in his body disappeared, and he entered a state of inexplicable excitement, with countless flashes of inspiration in his mind.

If the perfect energy is broken down into one percent, it becomes a miraculous medicine for healing injuries. Even if the wound is severe enough to penetrate the heart, as long as one does not die instantly, he or she can recover immediately if he or she has time to take this one percent of the perfect energy.

One tenth is even more incredible, and can restore a person's body to its most perfect state.

This is naturally nothing for teenagers, because their bodies are still developing, and they are in the most perfect condition at this moment.

But for those who are in their fifties, sixties, or even over seventy years old, the most perfect state of their body is when they are in their early twenties!

This one-tenth of perfect energy is equivalent to rejuvenation and restoration to a youthful state.

And it lasted for a whole hour!

However, even with such a miraculous effect, it is only the effect of one of the ten parts.

And how miraculous is the effect of the undecomposed perfect energy?
The key point is the effect of this thing on the soul!
Occasionally, people experience a state in which a flash of inspiration comes to their mind.

The flash of inspiration that emerges at that moment may be the answer to a problem that you may not be able to see even after thinking hard for several days.

Or maybe it's a brilliant idea.

Many people are unable to grasp this moment of inspiration.

However, if one takes the perfect energy, one can directly return to the moment when the spiritual light burst out, and it will last for a whole hour!
How terrifying!
Zhou Ming circulated his true energy and poked the ground with his finger. A sword energy emerged from his fingertips, bursting out three feet and directly poking a hole in the ground.

He only practiced this mysterious sword energy finger for the first time, but he succeeded instantly!

And this is the credit of the perfect energy!

Zhou Ming practiced continuously, and the sword energy in his hands burst out, each one stronger and farther than the last.

In less than a quarter of an hour, you have laid a solid foundation and can learn more advanced techniques.

Five Elements and Seven Wonders!

The five internal organs of the human body correspond to the five elements respectively. These five organs are matched with the meridians to circulate qi, and can emit five kinds of sword energy with different properties, which are the five elements.

Sword energy is not an ordinary means. It needs to be carefully controlled to use the seven techniques of rushing, slashing, bouncing, pointing, soft, drilling and dominating, which is the Seven Wonders!

The five elements are very simple for Zhou Ming in his current state.

But the Seven Wonders require repeated practice to enhance control over the sword energy.

Zhou Ming snapped his fingers, and the sword energy condensed into a sword ball at his fingertips. It flew out and exploded on the ground.

It is the playing technique of the seven-character quatrain.

The next moment, endless fatigue surged into my heart.

Zhou Ming knew that the effect of the perfect energy had ended.

Although this ability is called "Perfect", it is not truly perfect after all. A major drawback is that only one ray will be born in twelve hours.

Another major shortcoming is what Zhou Ming is facing now.

He took two quick steps and sat down at the edge of the pavilion, leaning against a pillar, so as not to be exhausted by the fatigue that suddenly emerged.

It took a long time of rest before I gradually recovered.
