Chapter 224 Entering the Interior
Half an hour, fleeting.
"despair--"
When they heard the sound of a door opening, the people who were still talking subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, only to see Jiang Mo, with frosty hair and white clothes, walking towards them.
"Master Jiang, thank you for your hard work."
The Taoist priest stood up to greet him, feeling nervous as he did not know what the outcome would be.
"It's not a big deal, Master. I have reconstructed his body and repaired his broken meridians. His body will be very weak in the future. If he practices, he should try not to overdo it, as it can easily damage his body. If he learns some health-preserving techniques, he should be able to live past a hundred years."
Jiang Mo was not tired at all. To him, Tian Jinzhong had been deconstructed once two years ago. It was easy for him to re-evolve various bones and organs with his innate Qi.
During this period, Tian Jinzhong woke up once and saw that it was Jiang Mo who was healing him. It was not difficult for him to guess what had happened. He burst into tears and felt extremely guilty for repeatedly causing trouble to his master and the Sanyi Sect.
Jiang Mo set up a barrier in the house, talked to him for a while, comforted him with a few simple words, and then told him to have a good rest and not to worry too much. After all, things had already happened and could not be undone, so he needed to look forward.
Upon hearing the good news brought by Jiang Mo, Zhang Jingqing was so happy that she burst into tears, and the depression in her heart finally dissipated.
"Master Jiang, you saved my disciple twice. You are truly his second parent."
After saying this, the Heavenly Master bowed his head and kowtowed again.
"Thank you, Master Jiang. Since I woke up, I have tried to commit suicide several times. Fortunately, with your help, I was able to get through the difficult times safely. I will never forget your kindness."
Zhang Zhiwei also followed his master in paying his respects. The master and disciple were truly extremely grateful. Contrary to their concerns, after arriving at Trinity Gate, they were not harassed at all. Instead, they were treated as distinguished guests.
"Let's talk about something else. Sit down."
"Should Cheng Zhen have mentioned this to you just now?"
Jiang Mo sat on a stone bench, and Zhuge Yu sensibly handed him a cup of tea to quench his thirst.
"Well, I am still confused and don't know what that evil disciple did. I hope Master Jiang can explain it to me."
The smile on Zhang Jingqing's face faded, replaced by a chill, especially after seeing Tian Jinzhong's tragic end, he was extremely disappointed with Zhang Huaiyi's actions.
If this bastard had not been found, the old man would have wanted to punish him according to the rules of the sect long ago.
Jiang Mo passed the tea to his lips, drank it down his throat, and said clearly:
"Wu Gensheng didn't die back then, but survived by using a kind of sorcery from southern Xinjiang. Later, due to some misfortunes, he needed tremendous strength to fulfill a long-cherished wish, so he wandered around the Central Plains, looking for opportunities everywhere."
"And he really found it?!" Tianshi had a bad feeling.
"Correct."
"The ancestor of the Jindan Sect, the Taoist temple left by Ziyang Shanren, is located in the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley in the Qinling Mountains. Inside it is the What Man Cave. Under the pavilion at the end, there are some chapters on the cultivation of the predecessors, as well as a jade disk."
When Jiang Mo mentioned Hermit Ziyang, Zhang Jingqing and Zhang Zhiwei listened attentively with solemn expressions.
"The jade disk implies an opportunity, which can realize a person's greatest desire or point out a path. Wu Gensheng's long-cherished wish requires 35 chess pieces that he can control, use, and selfishly use to realize his desires at the same time. Only when they all obtain a skill similar to the spirit of a god can they have a chance to realize it."
Speaking of this, Jiang Mo couldn't help but sigh. The old monster in Luo Wuyuan was far beyond the reach of human power. Even if the thirty-six people gathered their special skills, they might not be able to win the battle. They would probably become food for their ancestors.
After his explanation, the master vaguely guessed some of the truth.
"Wu Gensheng destroyed the chapter of the law-repair underground and took away the jade disk. He then formed a brotherhood with thirty-five people, using his unique skills as bait to lure them into the game. They signed a contract and planted the Mountain and Sea Oath Gu in their souls. They had to abide by three requirements in order to survive."
"1. He wants to get everyone's complete stunt."
"2. He was forbidden to mention the matter of the jade disk to anyone. It is worth mentioning that he spent a lot of time trying to decipher the secret of the jade disk in the two months after they became sworn brothers, but he always failed and was even unable to comprehend it a second time."
"3. He must go to the place where he collects the favors, and no one may follow him. And from now on, the traitors who harmed their brothers must be found and killed."
"The remaining eight people lived up to his expectations and successfully discovered eight unique skills from the jade disk. I believe you have already known the names and functions of them during the interrogation by the Wang family, so I will not elaborate on them here."
"When the demon and the eight people parted ways, he had already vaguely guessed who the traitor was, but he had no fundamental evidence and needed the traitor's last trick, so he gave up and hurried on his way."
Jiang Mo looked at Zhang Jingqing, with an intriguing smile on his face, and teased, "Master, why don't you guess who this person is?"
"."
Thinking of what the Wang family's patriarch had said, the old man had a rough answer, but still asked uncertainly: "Is it that evil disciple?"
"Yes. He is indeed the biggest beneficiary of this disaster. The person who sent the letter to the Lu family was probably him. He probably didn't want us to embarrass you Tianshi Mansion after the truth was exposed, and he was also trying to get a chance to atone for his sins."
"At that time, I was in seclusion and meditation, and Cheng Zhen was in charge of the affairs of the sect. He made it very clear that you should solve the troubles caused by your sects by yourselves. Whoever wants to stand in our way of encircling Wu Gensheng will be eliminated."
This is the end.
Through Jiang Mo's narration, the truth came to light. Zhang Jingqing learned that Zhang Huaiyi was the culprit of the incident, and he gradually became murderous.
In his opinion, the rat was simply afraid of being hunted, and did such a despicable thing because it hoped that the Sanyi Sect would intervene and give it a chance of survival because of its friendship with the Tianshi Mansion.
Considering those who might be implicated and lose their lives because of this disaster, Zhang Jingqing was furious and said in a cold voice:
"Humph! This beast is hiding well. If I get any news about him in the future, I will kill him."
"Disaster."
Jiang Mo smiled indifferently:
"If he is determined to survive, he can take a ferry out to sea and go to the country on the other side of the ocean. The world is so vast, it won't be easy for you to find him, Tianshi."
"."
The Heavenly Master remained silent, and after a pause he sighed, "It is because I did not discipline you strictly enough, I am sorry to have made you, Master Jiang, laugh at me."
"Is it embarrassing? Not really. It's late, go to bed early."
Jiang Mo finished his cup of tea, stood up and ordered: "Xiao Lu, Zhuge, arrange bedrooms for them."
"Yes, uncle." After several days of recuperation, Tian Jinzhong recovered quickly. He was able to walk normally and his vision was unobstructed. Every day, he sat in a wheelchair and was pushed by his senior brother to the courtyard to bask in the sun.
During the days when Zhang Jingqing lived in Trinity Gate, he finally felt at ease and slept soundly, no longer worrying about accidents happening to his disciples. During this time, he went to the cemetery in the back mountain to see old friends, chat and burn incense.
evening.
In the Siming Hall, Tianshi, Zhang Zhiwei and Tian Jinzhong were all present.
"Brother Tian, are you ready?"
"Relax, I will guide you into the inner scene later. Don't worry, it's easy."
Zhuge Yu sat cross-legged on a cushion on the ground, reminding Tian Jinzhong of things he needed to pay attention to.
"Well, come on, please trouble Junior Brother Zhuge."
"it is good."
Under the gazes of the crowd, Zhuge Yu closed his eyes, and a huge and strange magic formation appeared under his seat, even covering the entire hall.
Tian Jinzhong, who was in a wheelchair, also closed his eyes, put aside all distracting thoughts, and entered a state of meditation.
With a "swish" sound, in full view of everyone, a transparent soul shadow seemed to vibrate on their body surface, but disappeared in an instant.
The inner world is gray and there is no concept of up and down, left and right, east and west, north and south. It is just like the deep space universe.
Tian Jinzhong only felt his eyes blurry, and then he was dragged in here. Just as Junior Brother Zhuge said, under his leadership, there was no difficulty at all.
"Brother Tian, here."
Not far away, Zhuge Yu waved and walked towards him.
"Eh?! Junior Brother Zhuge, why are you and I not in the same line? Are you the one doing the handstand, or am I?"
Tian Jinzhong felt his body light, as if weightless, floating in the air, and communicating with Zhuge Yu with his head tilted.
"It's not that complicated. This is my spiritual world. The strength of your soul is different from the weak state of your body outside. Just do as you please."
The whole world seemed to be turned upside down. Tian Jinzhong clearly did not move, but Zhuge Yu's figure came closer and closer, slowly twisting from the corner of his vision to appear in front of him.
"Here, I'll teach you. Just think of a question you want to know the answer to. For example, I want to know what my fortune will be this year."
As soon as the words fell, several light blue lights appeared out of thin air, interweaving with each other to form a crystal-like ball.
"Look."
Zhuge Yu grasped the crystal ball with both hands, exerted a little force, and broke it into pieces, allowing strands of light with accompanying information to overflow from it.
"Ah? Is that it? I understand."
"Then let me try it?" Tian Jinzhong had an idea.
"Go ahead and try it. It's okay, I'm watching you." Zhuge Yu encouraged with a smile.
"Ah."
"Wow!"
As the thoughts surged, the light whistled and formed a round ball as big as a millstone. Tian Jinzhong was stunned and at a loss.
"Use all your strength to break it." Zhuge Yu's voice rang out.
"drink!"
Tian Jinzhong gathered his strength and punched out, causing his arm to go numb and his finger bones to tremble, but the ball did not move at all.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Continuous beating still had no effect. Tian Jinzhong's face was tense, he was gasping for breath, and the five fingers of his right hand were aching slightly. He looked at Zhuge Yu in confusion and for help.
"Junior Brother Zhuge, is this because it's too big and hard to open?"
"It is precisely because the answer you want is inside that it is difficult to open. It is very difficult to break it. Even for me, it took many years of hard practice to barely break the obstacles that I was looking for every time."
Zhuge Yu pondered and said, "The light ball I just created is meaningless and unimportant to you. I need to use force to shatter it, but if you just pull it casually, it will probably be torn into pieces."
“Similarly, the ball you can’t hit is, to me, just a casual thing.”
"However, everyone has their own destiny. Out of respect, I can't help you right away. You try first. If you can't break it, I will do it again."
Tian Jinzhong got the hint and suddenly realized. He was extremely eager for the answer, so he clenched his fists again and punched hard.
"boom!"
A dull crashing sound was heard, and a faint crack appeared on it.
At the same time, severe pain came from his finger bones. Tian Jinzhong looked over subconsciously and saw that it was bleeding and the bones were about to break.
"drink."
He was determined to get the answer, so he launched a new round of attacks in one go.
