Chapter 220: Seal on the Island
"Another heritage? Are you talking about the one in the island province?"

"You know this too?"

Master Zou was a little surprised, but he quickly recalled that Zhang Yang seemed to have mentioned this matter when he was helping him carve the Master's Seal.

"Old Zou, don't treat me as a fool!" Zhang Yang couldn't help but complain.

Master Zou quickly replied that he had remembered it wrong.

He had been undercover for too long and was used to the innocent persona, and his brain seemed to have fallen into the hands of a criminal gang.

As a result, when he spoke, he answered hastily without thinking.

Then he told Zhang Yang what he was going to do.

This is a big deal…

"This idea of ​​yours is awesome!"

After listening to Zou Tianshi's thoughts, Zhang Yang became a little uneasy and commented on the old Taoist priest:

"I feel like you might be the most outrageous Taoist priest in the history of Longhu Mountain. Is it because your undercover life isn't exciting enough that you have such perverted thoughts?"

"Haha, thank you for the compliment."

"How did you know I was praising you?"

"I don't care. I'll take whatever you say as a compliment."

Master Zou Tianshi smiled shamelessly, and then asked Zhang Yang if he had any more specific opinions on his ideas.

“I think it’s doable.”

"It is also very meaningful in reality. If you succeed, you will definitely go down in history."

Zhang Yang thought about it carefully.

If what Zou Tianshi said, "More than half of the people in the island province believe in Taoism, which is the majority of religious beliefs," is true.

Then he took the [Yangping Zhidu Gong Yin] + [Sanwu Zhanxie Cixishang Sword] imitated by Zhang Yang and went to the island province to fight with the descendants of the Zhang family.

If this succeeds, he will become a true heavenly master.

Coupled with his background in Longhu Mountain, he was the first in the religious world to complete the two-in-one.

"But I have a question. If you go over there, do you know who to look for? Will you be caught as a spy?"

Zhang Yang was a little worried about Master Zou.

Although the act of unifying Taoism is exciting to think about, the island province is a lawless place after all. I dare not imagine what I will encounter if I go out.

"It's okay. I've already found out. The Heavenly Masters in the island province are fighting among themselves. I'll just go there and take advantage of it."

Zou Tianshi told Zhang Yang:
Ever since the 64th Heavenly Master passed away in 2007, the Taoists there have been in turmoil.

One day after the death of the 64th Heavenly Master.

A young man named Zhang Yijiang said that he was the direct descendant of the 62nd Heavenly Master, and without further ado, announced that he would succeed him as the 65th Heavenly Master.

On the same day, perhaps stimulated, Zhang Daozheng, who was originally only the acting Heavenly Master, also announced that he would succeed as the 64th Heavenly Master.

At first, Zhang Yang thought that the old Taoist priest had made a mistake.

Wasn’t the 64th Heavenly Master passed away? How can he succeed?

Impure World Reincarnation also needs a new name, right?
But Zou Tianshi said that he was not wrong. The man named Zhang Daozheng felt that he was only the acting Tianshi and was not qualified to inherit the position of the orthodox Tianshi, so he changed his position to inherit the dead one.

The funniest thing is that not only do these two generations of Heavenly Masters not acknowledge each other, they also often sue each other over "copyright".

It's probably something like "You are not allowed to use my talismans."

No one can go to court to adjudicate disputes involving Taoist priests.

After listening to this, Zhang Yang understood what the old Taoist said:

"Neither of these two people is worthy of being a Heavenly Master. Even though the Longhu Mountain lineage has declined, it is not necessary to let the Taoist leader perform a circus or act like a clown."

"Zhang Daoling's direct bloodline was cut off at the 28th generation. The 29th generation was adopted, so the bloodline is not pure at all."

"Since the bloodline inheritance has been cut off, the position of Heavenly Master should be occupied by someone who is capable."

Although Zhang Yang didn't think that Zou Tianshi was that capable person, the old Taoist priest really had nowhere to go now, so going to the island province to expand the territory was also an option.

He asked Zou Tianshi: "What do you want me to make for you?"

"Can you make me a Heavenly Master Seal that looks like the real thing? I lost the one you made for me while I was undercover."

"no problem."

Zhang Yang agreed readily. He used his current wealth to make a gold and jade square seal as a gift to the old Taoist priest.

When he really becomes a Taoist priest, he can just draw a few talismans for himself and sell them for more than the price of a seal.

"Anything else?"

"The male and female swords that can slay evil spirits, can this be made?" asked Zou Tianshi.

"A long sword from the Han Dynasty, right?"

Zhang Yang simplified what Zou Tianshi said.

Forget about the Evil-Slaying Sword. For him, as long as he can determine the specific era, he can imitate it.

"Yes, yes, it is a sword from the Han Dynasty."

Zou Tianshi explained to Zhang Yang:
"The Sanwu Zhanxie swords are a pair. Legend has it that there are some mysterious runes on them, and they also depict the sun, moon, and stars."

"I looked up the sword exhibited by the 64th Heavenly Master on the Internet, and it doesn't look like it's the real sword. It's just an ordinary magic sword."

"There are no mysterious runes, nor are there sun, moon, or stars."

"I understand." Zhang Yang nodded, and had already thought of the idea of ​​making it: "I will inlay some fluorescent stones on the sword to give it the feeling of the sun, moon and stars."

"When the time comes, you can go out for a stroll at night, carrying this sword on your back and stepping on a gourd. You will definitely be able to stun those frogs."

Master Zou Tianshi imagined the scene described by Zhang Yang and almost drooled.

He quickly asked:
"Is it reasonable that a sword from the Han Dynasty can still glow even today?"

"That makes sense. Haven't you heard of the Night Pearl? That thing is originally a mineral. The properties of minerals will not change after thousands of years."

"That makes sense. Let's do as you say."

"Oh, you only need to make the male sword. The female sword is kept under Heming Mountain!"

"Are you sure?" Zhang Yang asked. "I originally thought that you should just say that you dug out the Sanwu Zhanxie Male and Female Swords at the bottom of Heming Mountain, and then you will be the legitimate descendant of Zhang Daoling."

"No no no."

Zou Tianshi quickly expressed his objection:
"You want me to challenge the entire Zhang Tianshi family? If I do this, I will directly overturn their thousands of years of inheritance."

"You think too highly of me."

"Oh, so you're a coward." Zhang Yang said deliberately with a smile.

Unexpectedly, the old Taoist priest responded: "Yes, I am indeed a coward."

"I went there to play the game of forming alliances, uniting those who can be united, fighting for those who can be fought for, and then slowly defeating them one by one."

“So I have to get them to recognize me first.”

"Just bring a sword with you, and tell them that the sword that the 63rd Heavenly Master brought to the island province was a fake, and the real one is in the hands of me, the great-grandson of the 61st Heavenly Master."

"Ah? Are you going to find a new grandfather? Isn't that too much of a sacrifice?"

When Zhang Yang heard that Master Zou was planning this, he laughed out loud.

How humorous.

"Just a friendly reminder, your last name is Zou, and all of Zhang Tianshi's lineage has the last name Zhang, so it's useless to acknowledge your adoptive father, Tianshi Zou."

"No, from now on, please call me Zhang Yang, the 65th generation descendant of Zhang Daoling!"

"???" Zhang Yang didn't understand: "No, I'm helping you, you want to mess with me, right? Can't you come up with a name yourself?"

"What does this have to do with you? Don't force yourself! My Yang is the Yang of poplar trees, which has nothing to do with your Yang of Zhangyang."

"Okay, okay, then I'll hide a speaker in your sword, and it'll make a dog bark when you swing it. That shouldn't be a problem."

"No, I was wrong! Brother, I was really wrong. Can't I just call myself Zhang Guoqiang?" Zou Tianshi quickly changed his words. It's no wonder that Zhang Yang felt much better after changing his name.

It’s directly Zhang Guoqiang’s universe.

The two discussed the details of the operation again.

In fact, Zhang Yang mainly helped Zou Tianshi to find out the shortcomings and fill them in.

He could tell that the old Taoist priest had returned from undercover and was now very inflated, and he was just about to say to his face "I feel so powerful that it's terrifying".

After discussing the details, the two agreed on the delivery time.

The progress of Zhang Yang's "Qingge" exhibition can be slowed down a bit.

There is still enough time.

So the priority is to help the old Taoist priest make the treasure.

At the earliest, it can be delivered next week, because the male sword in the Sanwu Zhanxie male and female swords is passed down from generation to generation by successive Zhang Tianshi. It has obvious signs of use and will not have too much rust.

Even if according to Master Zou Tianshi, the thing was found in a cave in Longhu Mountain, it has only been a few decades since the 63rd generation ran away, so the sword should be in good condition.

So Zhang Yang doesn't have much work to do.

The main thing is the shape of the sword and various details, especially the inlay of fluorescent stones, which is quite time-consuming.

……

The phone call lasted more than half an hour.

By the time Zhang Yang hung up the phone, Shen Yiyi and the others in the yard had stopped arguing.

Li Zi was lying on her grandfather's rocking chair playing with her cell phone. It was probably because her grandfather was in the wrong that he didn't dare to say anything even though his nest was taken away.

Shen Yiyi continued to work on repairing the green rust on the bronze ware.

Grandpa Lu? He's gone.

"Hey, where's grandpa? He wouldn't have slipped away so soon, would he?"

Zhang Yang originally thought that on the day of the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Qing Pavilion, he would ask his grandfather to use his connections to find some big shots in Qingzhou area to attend the event.

If you really don't know any big shots, you can find some people from the National Treasure Gang to be your free babysitters.

The key point is that it’s free, and Zhang Yang doesn’t really care about anything else.

Zhang Yang thought about it and suddenly realized the importance of his grandfather. He hurried out to ask about his grandfather's whereabouts.

Don’t travel again!
As soon as he opened the door, he found his grandfather sitting in the lobby, looking at him with sharp eyes.

"Zhang Yang, you finally came out." Grandpa stood up excitedly and said, "If you didn't come, I would have suspected that you were out looking for Xiao Si."

"Xiaosi?"

"Yes, now Yiyi and Li Zi are ranked in no particular order, the only one you can look for is Xiao Si."

"It's against the will of heaven." Zhang Yang answered his grandfather briefly and did not continue the topic.

He saw that the other person was holding a black cloth bag, which seemed to be filled with something heavy, pressing the bag down.

"Is that a local specialty you brought with you? Something from the Maldives?"

"This is not from the Maldives, it's a specialty from South Africa."

Grandpa Lu picked up the gift he prepared for Zhang Yang and his group and said with a smile:

"Guess what?"

"South Africa's specialty, diamonds?" Zhang Yang asked.

"No, have you ever seen a diamond this heavy?"

When Grandpa Lu lifted the bag, the heavy object inside sank noticeably.

"What else could it be?" Zhang Yang counted on his fingers, "The only specialties of South Africa I know of are diamonds, chimpanzees, and Musk."

"You don't even know this, and Yiyi still says you are well-informed!"

Grandpa Lu's tone was a little sour.

He had just been DISSed by his granddaughter, and now he could only vent his anger on the culprit, Zhang Yang.

But even if you're mad, you still have to give the gift.

Grandpa Lu smiled and brought up the things in the bag.

It is a yellow oval-shaped stone that looks a bit like a dinosaur egg fossil, but its color is a bit like clay.

The surface has a slight metallic luster.

"The meteorite that hit the earth 6500 million years ago not only wiped out the dinosaurs, but also created a huge crater."

"But that crater is not as big as the one in South Africa. The one in South Africa is the largest..."

"Hey, Zhang Yang, why are you leaving? Look at the meteorite I brought you!"

Grandpa held the meteorite and wanted Zhang Yang to come up and take a look.

But the latter had already retreated to the door, blocking it in front of him, when he talked about the extinction of dinosaurs.

Seeing Grandpa coming over with the meteorite in his arms, Zhang Yang quickly reached out to stop him:

"Don't come over here!"

"What's wrong?" Grandpa Lu stopped and asked in confusion: "This is a meteorite, not a monster egg. Why are you so scared?"

"Have you watched too much Ultraman?"

"I'm hiding from meteorites." Zhang Yang replied, "God knows whether this thing of yours has radiation or not."

"Radiation? Maybe a little, but isn't that what meteorites rely on?"

Grandpa Lu said confidently, and also taught Zhang Yang:

"You are a typical cloud. You don't understand the mystery of meteorites at all."

"Meteorites are a carrier of energy. They will continuously radiate alpha waves and beta waves. Wearing meteorites for a long time will not only make people more energetic..."

"And it will cause hair loss." Zhang Yang interrupted Grandpa Lu and said.

"Hmm? My hair won't fall out."

"That means tooth loss or osteoporosis, and in the late stage it means leukemia or a vegetative state."

"You are exaggerating, aren't you?" Grandpa Lu didn't believe Zhang Yang's words, and even looked down on him: "I originally wanted you to polish this meteorite and make it into a bracelet or something like that, as a gift for you when I come back this time."

"I didn't expect you wouldn't be so lucky!"

"Stop it, Grandpa."

Zhang Yang hid behind the door, secretly searching for abilities related to meteorites.

Finally, he found [Iron Ore Smelting], a small branch skill under Iron Tools.

After unlocking this ability, Zhang Yang finally recognized what his grandfather was holding.

It is an iron meteorite with iron and nickel as the main components.

If this thing falls into the hands of people who believe in Tibetan Buddhism, it will be a treasure and can be hand-polished into at least fifty pieces of "sky iron" jewelry.

The total market price is hundreds of thousands.

But if it falls somewhere else, it will most likely be refined as pyrite.

Knowing what it was made of, Zhang Yang was a little less worried. This kind of typical iron meteorite is generally not radioactive.

He took the initiative to walk out and took the things from Grandpa Lu.

After a while, Zhang Yang nodded and said:

"Grandpa, this thing of yours can be put to great use!"

"This is not a meteorite, this is the legendary sun gold. According to the "General Principles of Forging Immortal Swords" left by the great sword master Ou Yezi, this kind of stone can be used to refine the ultimate acquired spiritual treasure, the Blazing Sun Fiery Sword!"
