Chapter 115 Do your duty
Longhu Mountain.
On the evening of the second day after Lu Jin sent the letter, a Lu family post guard delivered it specially and handed it to a disciple of the Tianshi Mansion, asking him to pass it on to Zhang Zhiwei.
As night fell, a figure washing clothes in the courtyard muttered:
"Hey, Old Lu, it's been a while, why haven't you written to me yet? Have you forgotten about me? That's amazing."
At this moment, a hearty voice came from behind him. Tian Jinzhong walked over quickly and shouted, "Brother, there is a letter from Trinity Sect. It's for you."
"Wow?! Let me take a look. Thanks, Lao Tian."
Zhang Zhiwei looked back in surprise, waved his water-stained hands slightly, wiped them on his gown, then took the letter and opened it with anticipation.
A familiar line of handwriting came into view.
"Brother Zhang, I have obtained the permission of my uncle. You can come anytime. I will be the host. Here are the best regards from Lu Jin."
In less than a few seconds, Zhang Zhiwei felt refreshed after reading it, and couldn't hide the happy smile on his face, which attracted Tian Jinzhong's curious question: "Brother, what's wrong?"
"Hey, Lao Lu invited me to play at Trinity Gate!"
Zhang Zhiwei generously showed the letter to Tian Jinzhong, put his arm around his shoulders and said jokingly, "Junior brother, do you want to go with us?"
Hearing this, Tian Jinzhong was tempted and wanted to go to the door to thank him, but he hesitated again and again and frowned slightly:
"Isn't this bad? Senior Brother, Master Lu only invited you to come. If I follow him, wouldn't that be impolite?"
"what?"
Zhang Zhiwei raised his eyebrows and waved his hand nonchalantly: "Junior brother, have you forgotten your farewell to Sect Leader Jiang?"
"You said you wanted to visit him sometime, and he's welcome to come."
"Wouldn't it be a good opportunity to come and play with me this time?"
"Hiss - Senior Brother, what you said does make sense."
Tian Jinzhong seemed to be persuaded and suggested with a smile: "Why don't we go talk to Master again? If he nodded, we can go together."
"Let's go."
Zhang Zhiwei did not stop and took Tian Jinzhong through the Taoist palace courtyard and went straight to the Heavenly Master's bedroom.
“Boom! Boom!! Boom!!”
Seeing that the lights in the house were bright and the conversations were gradually fading, Zhang Zhiwei knocked lightly on the wooden door.
"Come in--"
Zhang Jingqing shouted casually.
"Squeak!"
Zhang Zhiwei pushed open the door and saw his junior fellow apprentice Zhang Huaiyi standing respectfully beside his master, looking like he was admitting his mistakes. He was slightly stunned: "Hey, Huaiyi is here too?"
"Brother, Junior Brother Tian."
Zhang Huaiyi was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the two of them would come just after he was scolded.
"What's going on between you two?" Zhang Jingqing scolded for a long time, his throat dry. He picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, glancing at them out of the corner of his eye.
"Master, here, look! Old Lu asked me to visit the Trinity Sect, and Junior Brother Tian also wants to go and thank Sect Master Jiang. Do you think it's appropriate?"
Zhang Zhiwei submitted the letter to Master Rong for his decision.
"Go if you want to, be safe on the road, and take good care of Jinzhong."
After reading Lu Jin's letter, the Heavenly Master had no objection and agreed immediately, and also reminded: "When you arrive at Trinity Gate, be restrained and don't cause trouble for others."
"Understood, Master."
Zhang Zhiwei and Tian Jinzhong said in unison.
Trinity Gate.
When Jiang Mo walked out of the cave in the back mountain again, three days had passed. He first bathed in the pond to cleanse his body, and then returned to the sect.
The sound of bells echoed in the huge Taoist palace courtyard. It was almost dusk. A group of disciples who had returned from the shooting range were talking and laughing when they ran into Jiang Mo.
"Uncle Master!!"
"Uncle Master!!"
"Master, I haven't seen you for a few days. Where have you been?"
Cheng Zhen, Lu Jin, Shui Yun and others came towards them, all of them in high spirits and with light steps.
"Me? I'm meditating in the back mountain." Jiang Mo's lips curled up slightly. These disciples were full of vigor and vitality, which made him feel good. He recalled that he was like this when he was young.
"Uncle-master, dinner is ready. Would you like to join us for dinner?" The person who spoke was Zhuge Yu, who was waiting for a reply with an expectant look on his face.
"Well, let's go."
After dinner.
Jiang Mo invited Si Chong and Cheng Zhen to go up the mountain. As they got closer, the fire in the cave surged, like candles hanging on the wall, illuminating the dimness. The three of them arrived at the treasure land of Cang Lei.
A dull thunder rumbled from deep within the cave. Cheng Zhen and Si Chong felt the oppressive atmosphere in the air and couldn't help but look surprised. When they approached the Bagua Furnace Cave and witnessed the lightning sealed underground, they were completely stunned.
"Junior brother, what is this?!"
Si Chong's voice trembled slightly. Seeing the thunder brewing below, some miraculous idea suddenly emerged in his mind, but he was not sure.
Cheng Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was extremely serious. Before this, when the storm came, he got a glimpse of the mystery, refined the two Qi of wind and thunder, and had some contact with them, so he recognized that this was his uncle's Qi thunder.
"Treasure Land of Cang Lei."
Facing their admiring and eager gazes, Jiang Mo gave the answer: "I spent some effort to create this. It can help you practice. When you reach the end of the second level and have a solid foundation in profound skills, you can use this treasure land to temper your body, destroy your reverse life, and advance in one fell swoop."
"really!"
"Just as I guessed, Junior Brother is really talented!"
He was filled with praise and felt instantly refreshed. He laughed out loud and the wrinkles on his face were alleviated a lot because of the joy.
"Uncle Master, your skill is unprecedented and unparalleled. I'm afraid it's comparable to the skills of immortals."
Cheng Zhen moved closer to watch. He could see a few flashes of lightning in the furnace hole. They still had some power, but they were like the tip of an iceberg. The more powerful thunder energy was firmly sealed in the furnace wall.
"Just some tricks."
Jiang Mo explained to them the principles, structure, and methods of cultivation of the treasure land, and asked: "Brother, Cheng Zhen, do you want to try it?"
"Since my junior brother is so kind, how can I refuse?" Si Chong was already impatient and wanted to use his profound skills immediately.
Cheng Zhen also nodded, and stopped Si Chong, expressing his own thoughts: "Uncle Master, let me explore the way for you first, is it feasible?"
"That's fine, if you have the intention."
Si Chong smiled with relief, knowing that he was worried about his old injury, and had no intention of competing with him.
"Ok!"
Cheng Zhen nodded slightly, his hair turned white instantly, and he used the second level of Reverse Rebirth at will. Even Si Chong was quite surprised that this little guy was almost catching up with him.
"The thunder in the furnace cave becomes more and more troublesome as you go further. If you can't hold on any longer, remember to come out." Jiang Mo reminded Cheng Zhen.
"Understood. I know my limits."
Cheng Zhen rushed towards him, Jiang Mo smiled indifferently: "Well, my two uncles, I will go first and try this Cang Lei treasure land with my own body."
"Come on, little one."
“Act within your ability.”
Under the watchful eyes of the two elders, Cheng Zhen prepared himself, with blue and white energy surrounding him, and jumped down decisively.
"Zi la!!!"
In an instant, the lightning at the bottom of the furnace cave pounced at him like a ferocious beast. Cheng Zhen came here to hone his second level, so he did not try to avoid it and took it with his body.
A fierce arc of lightning struck, and Cheng Zhen stretched out his five fingers, taking it all. Wisps of white smoke rose, but there was no trace of injury.
The initial test phase was passed, and the runes engraved on the furnace wall lit up one after another. A terrifying aura rose steadily in the furnace cave.
"Coming?"
Cheng Zhen stood in the center of the cave, looking cautious, his skin trembling slightly, a sign of foreseeing danger.
"Boom!!!"
Then, as he expected, six thick bolts of lightning appeared out of thin air, like silver dragons swimming, making a deafening roar, and without stopping for a moment, they struck towards him.
The dazzling and brilliant thunder ravaged Cheng Zhen's body crazily. The blue and white Qi that protected his body fought against it, like water and fire fighting, and the two ended in a stalemate.
