Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

"Ah."

After everyone left, Chengzhen slowly closed the door. The room was brightly lit by fire, and Jiang Mo, as always, began to rebuild Tian Jinzhong's body.

The bright moon hung high in the sky. The Celestial Master and Zhang Zhiwei waited in the distance, while Chengzhen, Zhuge Yu, and Lu Jin were in charge of entertaining the guests, brewing tea and preparing pastries for the two who had traveled a long way.

"Old Zhang, Senior Celestial Master, don't worry, Uncle Master is inside, healing Junior Brother Tian is no problem."

Lu Jin poured them a cup of tea. Talking to them up close, she could feel their suppressed exhaustion; their eyes were dark-rimmed, indicating they hadn't had a proper rest for seven days.

"Thank you all, fellow disciples..." Master Zhang accepted the tea and said gratefully.

"I heard that Junior Brother Tian was injured by a demon from Quanxing. Celestial Master, do you have any clues? Do you know who did it?" Chengzhen inquired.

"Jinzhong didn't know the origins of those people, but the镖师 (bodyguard/escort) who brought him back said he was entrusted by Quanxing..."

The Celestial Master's expression was solemn as he said, "I... just feel that things are not so simple, but without any evidence, it's all just speculation, so it's hard to determine which force was behind it."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin said regretfully:

“Master, not long ago, I went to Shanghai with my uncle and killed the leader of Quanxing and his entourage. I don’t know if the murderers who persecuted Brother Tian were among them. Unfortunately, the fight was too intense at the time, and I forgot to interrogate them.”

"Oh? Is that so? In that case, getting rid of these scourges might even avenge Jinzhong. Thank you very much..."

Zhang Jingqing clasped her hands in greeting, her face beaming with pride, and her mood improved considerably.

"Master, you're too kind. It's hard to say for sure. Let's investigate further after Brother Tian recovers."

Lu Jin dared not presume to accept credit and humbly declined.

“What you say makes sense, but in any case, we are still grateful for your kindness. It is only right that we express our gratitude. I thank you on behalf of Jinzhong.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than Zhuge Yu said, "Hey! Little Lu, Celestial Master, I have a way to find out the origins of that group of people."

"Oh? What insightful opinion does Nephew Zhuge have? I would like to hear it in detail."

In front of everyone, Zhuge Yu spoke eloquently:

"Inner vision. It's a unique technique of us sorcerers. Once Senior Brother Tian has recovered enough, I'll pull him into my inner vision so we can find the answer together."

"He may not be able to decipher the answer that is of great significance to him, but that message is not important to me. If he cannot decipher it, it will have the same effect if I do."

"Senior brother, is your method reliable?" Lu Jin asked with skepticism.

"Little Lu, don't underestimate me. To be honest, my cultivation in Qimen is much stronger than that of Nisheng in Qi cultivation."

Zhuge Yu calmly replied, "Using the inner vision to peer into secrets that are not enough to affect the world is extremely simple. If those people are too powerful, I won't be able to open it. It's just that it's highly likely to work, but I can't say it will be 100% successful."

"Senior brother...you're amazing." Lu Jin sincerely admired him.

"Hmm...it is indeed a good method. Thank you for your help, my fellow disciples."

Zhang Jingqing's brows relaxed slightly. If he really found the murderer, he would never let him go.

"By the way, Celestial Master, when my uncle and I went downstairs earlier, he specifically told me that he wanted to talk to you about Zhang Huaiyi later. As your master and senior brother, you have the right to know what he did."

Chengzhen's words startled Zhang Zhiwei, and the Celestial Master asked incredulously:

"Master Jiang actually found out what that wicked creature did?"

"I dare not exaggerate on this point. I can't say I know the whole story, but I do have a general idea of ​​what was done," Chengzhen said with a soft laugh.

Chapter 224 Entering the Interior

Half an hour passes in the blink of an eye.

"despair--"

The sound of the door being pushed open made the people who were still talking instinctively look in the direction of the sound, and they saw Jiang Mo, with his white hair and white clothes, walking in.

"Master Jiang...you've worked hard."

The Celestial Master rose to greet him, his heart filled with trepidation, unsure of the outcome.

"It's not a problem, Celestial Master. I have reconstructed his body and repaired his broken meridians. His body will be very weak in the future. When it comes to cultivation, he should try not to overdo it, as it can easily damage his body. If he learns some health preservation techniques, he should be able to live past a hundred years old."

Jiang Mo showed no signs of fatigue. For him, Tian Jinzhong had already been deconstructed two years ago, and the various bones and organs were easily transformed by his innate Qi.

During this time, Tian Jinzhong woke up once and saw that it was Jiang Mo healing him. It was not hard to guess what had happened. He then burst into tears, feeling guilty for causing trouble for his sect and the Sanyi Sect time and time again.

Jiang Mo set up a barrier inside the house, talked with him for a while, and simply comforted him before telling him to rest well and not to worry too much. After all, what's done is done and cannot be undone; we still need to look forward.

Upon hearing the good news brought by Jiang Mo, Zhang Jingqing was so happy that tears streamed down her face, and the pent-up frustration in her heart finally dissipated.

"Master Jiang, you have saved my disciple twice; you are truly his second parents."

After saying this, the Celestial Master bowed his head and paid his respects again.

"Thank you, Sect Leader Jiang. Since my junior brother woke up, he has attempted suicide several times. Fortunately, with your help, he was able to get through the crisis safely. I will never forget your kindness."

Zhang Zhiwei also bowed to his master. The two were truly grateful beyond measure. Contrary to their concerns, they did not encounter any difficulties after arriving at the Sanyi Sect. On the contrary, they were treated as honored guests.

"Let's talk about something else, have a seat."

"Shouldn't Chengzhen have mentioned this to you earlier?"

Jiang Mo sat on a stone bench, and Zhuge Yu thoughtfully handed him a cup of tea to quench his thirst.

"Hmm... I'm still completely baffled. I don't know what that wicked disciple did. I hope Master Jiang will be so kind as to explain."

Zhang Jingqing's smile vanished, replaced by a chill, especially after witnessing Tian Jinzhong's tragic end, he was utterly disappointed in Zhang Huaiyi's actions.

If it weren't for the fact that the whereabouts of this scoundrel were unknown, the old man would have long ago corrected his ways and established proper rules for the sect.

Jiang Mo brought the tea to his lips, drank it, and spoke clearly and logically:

"Wugensheng did not die back then. He survived by using a kind of witchcraft from the southern border. Later... due to some changes, he needed tremendous power to fulfill a long-cherished wish. So he wandered the Central Plains, searching for opportunities everywhere."

"So he actually found it?!" The Taoist priest had a bad feeling.

"Correct."

"The Taoist temple left behind by the founder of the Golden Elixir School, Ziyang Shanren, is located in the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley of the Qinling Mountains. Inside, there is He Weiren Cave. Under the pavilion at the end, there are some cultivation manuals of the predecessors, as well as a jade disc."

When Jiang Mo mentioned Ziyang Shanren, Zhang Jingqing and Zhang Zhiwei listened attentively with solemn expressions.

"The jade disc contains hidden opportunities that can fulfill a person's greatest desires or point out the path. Wugensheng's long-cherished wish requires 35 pieces that he can control, use, and selfishly manipulate to fulfill his desires simultaneously. Only by acquiring skills similar to those of a deity can he have a chance to achieve his wish."

At this point, Jiang Mo couldn't help but sigh. The old monster of Luo Wuyuan was far beyond human capabilities. Even if those thirty-six people gathered their extraordinary skills and went there, they might not be able to win that battle. They might all end up as food for their ancestors.

After his explanation, the Taoist priest vaguely guessed some of the truth.

"Wugensheng destroyed the cultivation manuals underground, abducted the jade disc, and then formed a sworn brotherhood with thirty-five people. He used his extraordinary skills as bait to lure them into a trap and signed contracts with them. He planted a vow of eternal love in their souls, and they had to abide by three conditions in order to survive."

1. He wants to acquire everyone's complete skills.

"2. The matter of the jade disc must not be mentioned to anyone. It is worth mentioning that in the two months after he became sworn brothers, he spent a lot of time trying to decipher the secret of the jade disc, but all of them ended in failure, and he was even unable to comprehend it a second time."

"3. He is going to the place where he gathers his followers, and no one is allowed to follow him. Furthermore, he is to find the traitors who have harmed his brothers and kill them."

"The remaining eight people lived up to his expectations and successfully gleaned eight unique skills from the jade disc. You probably already know their names and functions from the Wang family's interrogation, so I won't go into details here."

"When the demon parted ways with the eight, he had a vague idea of ​​who the traitor was, but he had no solid evidence and needed the traitor's last trick, so he gave up and hurriedly set off."

Jiang Mo sized up Zhang Jingqing, a knowing smile playing on his lips, and teased, "Master, why don't you guess who this person is?"

"......"

Recalling the words of the Wang family patriarch, the old man roughly had the answer, but still asked uncertainly, "Is it that wicked disciple?"

"Yes. He is indeed the biggest beneficiary of this turmoil. He was probably the one who delivered the message to the Lu family. He probably didn't want us to make things difficult for your Celestial Master's Mansion after the truth was exposed, and at the same time, he was trying to get a chance to atone for his sins."

“At that time, I was in seclusion and cultivating in peace. I left the affairs of the sect to Chengzhen. He made it very clear that you sects should deal with the trouble yourselves. If anyone stands in our way to besiege Wugensheng, then we will take care of them.”

This is the end.

Through Jiang Mo's narration, the truth came to light, and Zhang Jingqing learned that Zhang Huaiyi was the culprit behind this incident, which fueled her murderous intent.

In his view, the rat was simply afraid of being hunted down, and it did such a despicable thing in the hope that the Sanyi Sect would take advantage of its relationship with the Celestial Master's Mansion to intervene and gain a chance of survival.

Considering those who might be implicated and lose their lives in this turmoil, Zhang Jingqing was furious and said coldly:

"Hmph! This beast is hiding well. If I ever hear of him again, I'll kill him without hesitation."

"Disaster."

Jiang Mo smiled indifferently:

"If he is determined to live, he can take a ferry to the other side of the ocean. The world is so vast, it won't be easy for you to find him, Celestial Master."

"........"

The Celestial Master remained silent for a moment before sighing, "It is my fault for not disciplining him properly, and I have made Master Jiang laugh at me."

"Don't laugh at me. It's not that bad. It's late, get some rest."

After finishing his tea, Jiang Mo stood up and instructed, "Xiao Lu, Zhuge, arrange rooms for them."

"Yes, uncle."

..........

After several days of recuperation, Tian Jinzhong recovered quickly and was able to walk normally with unobstructed vision. He sat in a wheelchair every day and was pushed by his senior brother to the courtyard to bask in the sun.

Zhang Jingqing finally felt at ease living inside the Sanyi Gate, sleeping soundly and no longer constantly worrying about his disciples. During this time, he would visit the cemetery on the back mountain to see old friends, chat, and offer incense.

evening.

Inside the Siming Hall, the Celestial Master, Zhang Zhiwei, and Tian Jinzhong were all present.

"Senior Brother Tian, ​​are you ready?"

"Relax and let me guide you into the inner vision. Don't worry, it's very easy."

Zhuge Yu sat cross-legged on a futon on the ground, giving Tian Jinzhong instructions on things to pay attention to.

"Hmm... Come on, thank you for your trouble, Junior Brother Zhuge."

"it is good."

Under everyone's gaze, Zhuge Yu closed his eyes, and a massive Qimen formation appeared beneath him, even covering the entire hall.

Tian Jinzhong, in his wheelchair, also closed his eyes, cleared his mind of all distractions, and entered a state of tranquility.

With a "whoosh!" sound, under everyone's watchful eyes, transparent ghostly shadows seemed to vibrate on their bodies, but then vanished in an instant.

The interior world is a hazy gray, devoid of any sense of up, down, left, right, east, west, north, or south, resembling a deep space universe.

Tian Jinzhong felt a blur before his eyes and was dragged here. Just as his junior brother Zhuge had said, there was no difficulty at all under his guidance.

"Senior Brother Tian, ​​over here."

Not far away, Zhuge Yu waved and walked towards him.

"Hey?! Junior Brother Zhuge, why aren't we on the same line? Are you upside down, or am I?"

Tian Jinzhong felt light, as if he were weightless, floating in the air, and tilted his head to communicate with Zhuge Yu.

"There aren't many rules. This is my spiritual world. The strength of your soul is different from the weakness of your physical body. You can do whatever you want."

The whole world seemed to have turned upside down. Tian Jinzhong didn't move at all, but Zhuge Yu's figure slowly turned from the corner of his vision and came right in front of him.

"Here, I'll teach you. Just think of any question you want to know the answer to, like me, I want to know how my fortune will be this year?"

As soon as he finished speaking, several pale blue rays of light appeared out of thin air, intertwining to form a crystal-like sphere.

"Watch closely."

Zhuge Yu gripped the crystal ball with both hands, and with a slight exertion, shattered it, revealing wisps of light carrying information that spilled out from within.

"Huh? Is that...that's it? I understand."

"Then I'll give it a try?" Tian Jinzhong had an idea.

"Go ahead and try. I'll be watching you, it'll be fine," Zhuge Yu encouraged with a smile.

"Ah."

"Wow!"

As the thought surged, a burst of light roared and formed a sphere the size of a millstone. Tian Jinzhong was stunned and at a loss.

"Smash it with all your might," Zhuge Yu's voice rang out.

"drink!"

Tian Jinzhong unleashed a powerful punch, which numbed his arm and made his finger bones tremble, but the sphere remained completely still.
