Chapter 98: Trinity Gate? Three points in one line!
A week goes by in a blink of an eye.

morning.

Jiang Mo was sorting ancient books in the Sutra Library when he heard footsteps hurriedly coming from behind him. Shui Yun came to report: "Uncle Master, Xiao Lu is back and brought a lot of things with him. Come and have a look!!!"

"it is good"

Jiang Mo smiled and put the last book in its place, brushed off the dust on it, then stood up happily and followed Shui Yun to the main entrance of Trinity.

As soon as I arrived, I saw Lu You and Lu Jin waving and greeting them. A large number of wooden boxes were being moved along the stone steps by the hired workers. Si Chong, Cheng Zhen and others were helping.

"Uncle Master, I'm back!"

"Master Jiang, long time no see."

Jiang Mo stepped forward and looked at Lu Jin. He found that after not seeing him for ten days, the boy looked more energetic. It seemed that he was living a comfortable life at home. Then he talked to Lu You:
"Mr. Lu, you have come all the way here. Thank you for your hard work."

"Shuiyun, go and prepare tea for the distinguished guest."

"Okay, Uncle Master, Mr. Lu, please wait a moment."

Seeing Shuiyun was about to turn around, Lu You quickly stopped her:
"Eh, no need, little brother. I'll stay for a moment and talk to Sect Leader Jiang before I leave."

"Mr. Lu, you are in such a hurry. Are you leaving today?"

Jiang Mo gave up and asked Shuiyun to help his fellow brothers move the goods.

"Yes, there are many things that need to be dealt with at the company. If I don't go back, there will be trouble."

Lu You sighed helplessly. After so many years, he had only been home to accompany his old man for less than a month, and now he had to go across the ocean again. Not to mention that Mr. Lu was reluctant to let him go, even he himself hesitated when he walked out of the house.

"Master Jiang, I have brought you the things you requested. It is not difficult to get these things in the United States. If you need anything in the future, just let me know."

Lu You pushed his glasses and asked frankly:

"In addition, the other medical resources shipped back to the country are also floating on the sea. If they are harassed by Japanese aliens on the way or when they are being picked up, please ask Master Jiang to help them as appropriate."

"Okay." Jiang Mo promised.

"Master Jiang, I'm very happy to meet you when I return to China this time. It's my honor!" Lu You expressed his heartfelt emotion and shook hands with Jiang Mo.

"Mr. Lu, you are too polite. Jiang wishes you smooth sailing, and a prosperous career overseas."

When the two of them were talking, Lu Jin suddenly reminded:

"Uncle Master, I have hired the photographer you are looking for. He is waiting outside the door. How about I call that gentleman over to take a picture for us?"

"Well, go ahead." Jiang Mo agreed.

"okay."

Lu Jin laughed out loud, took a step forward, and went to greet the photographer to come in, and gathered all his fellow disciples in the courtyard.

instantly.

In front of the Qingxin Hall, a photographer in a suit was fiddling with his camera, choosing the right location and light.

Lu Jin brought in six armchairs and placed them neatly. Jiang Mo and Si Chong sat in the middle, and the other four old seniors of the sect sat on their left and right.

Disciples such as Cheng Zhen and Chang Qing stood behind them.

The fifteen disciples of Trinity Sect waited patiently.

Jiang Mo also reminded them: "Everyone, relax and be more natural, it will be fine in a while."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Uncle Master."

Cheng Zhen looked at the photographer in the distance with some anticipation. Although he often lived in the mountains, he was not completely ignorant of new things in the outside world.

"Hey! Yes, that's about it, fellow Taoist priests, be more casual with your expressions, that's good."

The photographer spoke in a loud and clear voice, guiding us step by step to adjust the best picture.

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

"Click! Click!" The camera emitted bursts of light, and the picture was frozen forever at that moment, completing the shooting.

Qingcheng, Mingci, Jiangmo, Sichong, Jingyao, Dongshan;
Changqing, Chengzhen, Shuiyun, Shengsheng, Liqing, Lujin, Zhugeyu, Yangu, Yunfeng;

In the 31st year of the Republic of China, after more than a thousand years, the ancient Taoist sect of Trinity finally had its first group photo.

This is the generation with the smallest number of people and the highest development potential.

As the head of the sect, Jiang Mo had a gentle smile. He sat upright, surrounded by people. His deep gaze seemed to penetrate the clouds and see the distant and bright future.

Afterwards, the disciples took photos together. Jiang Mo took photos with everyone, especially Cheng Zhen. In front of the camera, he still pulled his nephew's cheek like he did when they were children.

As for Lu Jin, he was rubbed on the head lovingly by him.

When it came to the little old man Si Chong, Jiang Mo became the supporting role. His senior brother sat on the chair and he was massaging his back behind him. The two of them were very casual and had bright smiles.

“Crack, click, click!!”

The sound of cameras, along with conversation and laughter, echoed throughout Trinity Temple all morning.

Lu You also took photos with Lu Jin and Jiang Mo. Time passed quickly, and when the goods were unloaded, he was about to say goodbye.

"Master Jiang, I don't know when we'll meet again, but I'll send you here."

In front of the Trinity gate, Lu You asked Jiang Mo to stop and there was no need to see him off.

"Mr. Lu, take care. If you have any troubles that you can't handle in the future, you can come to Trinity to find me."

Jiang Mo had never taken the initiative to inquire about Lu You's identity and the company he ran in the United States, but judging from the strength of the aliens who were hunting him, as well as the few words that Mr. Lu had said before, he guessed that the Lu family genius in front of him might have built an astonishing foundation on the other side of the ocean, otherwise, there wouldn't be so many medical supplies being continuously shipped back to the mainland.

Lu You's eyes lit up, and he waved his hand and laughed: "Okay, I won't be polite to Jiang Menzhang, goodbye!"

Having said this, he turned and walked down the stone steps.

"Uncle San, remember to come home often. Grandpa is thinking about you!" Lu Jin shouted at the figure that was gradually walking away.

"Okay, got it, brat."

Lu You did not look back. He just raised his hand symbolically to indicate his understanding and followed a large number of hired workers down the mountain.

Jiang Mo watched the distinguished guest go away until the rickshaw at the foot of the mountain slowly started up, drove away into the distance, and disappeared in the winding mountain road. Only then did he look away.

Afternoon, Siming Hall.

Jiang Mo sat in the center of the hall, and a group of disciples stood on both sides, looking curiously at the wooden box on the ground.

"Jin'er, open it."

"Ah."

Lu Jin stepped forward, placed his right hand on the corner of the wooden box, and used a little Qi to penetrate it, shaking through the iron nails that were nailed in, and lifted the wooden board.

One after another, brand new overseas books were accumulated in one place. These were the translated versions that Jiang Mo had specifically asked Lu You to buy. They covered a variety of humanities and scientific fields, which were enough to help one see the world and understand the global situation.

"The books here are not written in foreign languages. You must read them carefully and don't be lazy."

"It's Uncle-Master." All the disciples said in unison.

"Open the other boxes." Jiang Mo said again.

"Click."

Lu Jin did as he was told, and this time the things placed inside were all fashionable gadgets, such as lighters, paint sprays, flashlights, geographical models, and so on.

"Click."

The third box contained some food from across the ocean, such as canned luncheon meat, cola, chocolate, and cookies.

The fourth box contains medical water, bandages, and other first aid supplies.

The fifth box and even the rest were filled with firearms, including revolvers, submachine guns, machine guns, shotguns, sniper rifles, and even grenades.

There were a large number of hot weapons, equipped with ten boxes of ammunition. In addition, there were various cold weapons, daggers, bayonets, and brass knuckles.

"hiss"

Zhuge Yu was shocked and took a deep breath. He couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Master, are you going to the front line?"

"No."

Jiang Mo shook his head and explained, "Your senior brother and uncle both went to the battlefield but never came back."

"As the head of the sect, I have made my words clear to you."

"The situation is turbulent now, with many foreigners coming here one after another. Before I came down the mountain, I had already formed an alliance with the Lu family, the Tianshi Mansion, and Shangqing. We can't help with the frontline, but we can kill these foreigners as long as they show their tracks."

"I hope that you all will practice well in the mountains and learn what you need to learn. You must master the use of these firearms and strengthen your own strength."

"Your first and second levels are not as free as mine, controlling the Qi and gathering the weapons, so you need to rely on external objects to make up for the lack of lethality when fighting the enemy."

"If any disciple reaches the second level of Nisheng and wants to follow me down the mountain, he can;"

"Or you can stay in the mountains to practice, improve yourself day by day, and continue the sect."

"There is no difference between the two choices. Please make your choice according to your conscience."

Jiang Mo told these disciples his true thoughts.

On the frontline battlefield, he was not sure if he could protect the lives of these disciples while taking care of himself. But if it was an operation to kill the Japanese aliens, he could let his disciples do whatever they wanted and still cover the bottom line.

"Uncle Master, we cultivators use these firearms..."

Sheng Sheng was a little hesitant. Although he agreed with his uncle's words, he still had an instinctive resistance to the weapons in the box.

"If you want to kill an animal, you can do whatever is convenient for you. Why do you have to worry about it?"

Jiang Mo did not blame the disciple for being pedantic, but just chuckled and said, "If you had half of my ability, why would I need to look for these guns?"

"In the final analysis, the Reverse Life is not at the third level, so its lethality is limited. If you are asked to fight against those Japanese aliens with strange methods with only fists and feet skills, I am a little worried. If they escape, there will be endless troubles."

"Please forgive my ignorance and failure to understand your painstaking efforts. Since you have made the arrangements, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Sheng Sheng clasped his fists and said that after Jiang Mo's advice, he wanted to annihilate all those Japanese aliens instead of resisting the instinct to use firearms.

"Jin'er, bring a gun."

"it is good."

Lu Jin picked out an M3 submachine gun and handed it to Jiang Mo, along with an instruction manual.

Jiang Mo fumbled around for a while, inserted the magazine, demonstrated to his disciples, held it with one hand, and explained to them:

"This is the peephole and the front sight. The two need to coincide and fall in line with the target before you can pull the trigger."

"It is also the so-called 'three points and one line'. It has some affinity with our Trinity School."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Mo tapped his index finger lightly.

"Da da da!!!"

Fierce gunfire rang out, and dense lines of fire shot towards the bronze tripod outside the house, causing a continuous and intense fire.

The recoil that is difficult to control for ordinary people seems calm and steady for Jiang Mo.

Afterwards, Jiang Mo demonstrated the use of other firearms one by one, and the disciples watched carefully. The lethality and range of those firearms were indeed more convenient than their fists and feet.

"Junior brother, these things are not cheap, right?"

Shi Chong's broad palms carefully stroked the cold metal gun. The unique texture and linear craftsmanship made him frown slightly. He was afraid that this would empty the funds of the sect, which was not rich to begin with.

"Well, it's a bit expensive, but we can afford it. Jin'er's third uncle didn't want to accept any reward for saving his life, so I asked him to buy these supplies, so they can be considered as gifts from him to us."

Jiang Mo continued to talk. He picked up a grenade from the wooden box next to him and handed it to Si Chong:

"Brother, look, if you have this thing with you, with your speed and strength, it will be no problem for you to hit Zhao Wuyuan. Just pull out this switch and he will be killed in one shot."

"You little bastard, how come you're into these foreign things?"

Si Chong raised his eyebrows jokingly, looking at the grenade back and forth. He couldn't figure out how powerful this little thing was, he had only heard of it vaguely before.

"I started doing this because I saw my fellow apprentices staying in the mountains every day without any contact with the outside world. They were almost going off track, so I decided to do this."

"Um"

Si Chong said after some hesitation: "Brother, I am not conservative. We must be flexible. It would be fine if we can kill those Japanese aliens. There is no need to be so particular."

"Well, great minds think alike."

Jiang Mo clapped his hands and laughed, then called Cheng Zhen over and found a piece of chocolate for him.

"Here, try it? I remember you loved eating candied haws when you were a kid. This is called 'chocolate'. It has a mellow taste, bitter and sweet. Would you like to try it?"

"Ah? Uncle Master, aren't bitter and sweet conflicting flavors?"

Cheng Zhen was stunned. He took the chocolate, slowly tore off the outer paper, looked at the black square, and a strange smell rushed into his nose. Driven by curiosity, he took a light bite and chewed carefully.

"!!!"

"what about the taste?"

Si Chong saw Cheng Zhen's face change slightly and didn't know what he was thinking for a moment. Was it too disgusting?

"It's really bitter but sweet without this foreign stuff. This is my first time to taste it."

Cheng Zhen's cheeks were bulging, like a happy squirrel eating pine cones, with a happy and cute expression.

"Uncle Master, would you like to try it too?"

He carefully broke the second half into several pieces, separating Jiang Mo and Si Chong.

"I've eaten, eat more if you like."

Jiang Mo smiled. His memory was not bad. He knew Cheng Zhen always liked desserts. In the past, she always pestered him to run down the mountain to buy candied haws skewers.

"Well, it's interesting."

Si Chong took a few sips and was amazed by the bitter-sweet taste, which left a deep impression on him.

"Jin'er, why are you still standing there? Give some to your fellow apprentices, and remember to give some to those seniors as well."

"Okay." Lu Jin nodded happily.

The Siming Hall was filled with laughter. Zhuge Yu liked it the most and ate several pieces in a row. The other disciples were also interested in this new thing and only tried a few.

At dusk, Jiang Mo took them to a remote place at the rear and used his true power to surround the rocks and soil to build a simple shooting range.

Ten stone dolls were also made not far away to facilitate their future shooting practice.

"Uncle Master? Let me try?!"

Lu Jin looked eager to try. He was carrying a light machine gun, using his body as a fulcrum. His lower body was steady and he did not seem to be exerting any effort.

"Okay, take it easy."

With Jiang Mo's permission, under the gaze of his disciples, Lu Jin took a deep breath, took aim, and decisively pulled the trigger:
"Bang Bang Bang!!!"

The muzzle of the gun poured out fire crazily, and dense rain of bullets whizzed away, instantly piercing through the stone statue not far away.

The gun body was vibrating violently, but Lu Jin held it very firmly in both hands.

He has passed the second level of Rebirth and has incredible strength. It is not a problem for him to lift a fully loaded water tank with one hand, not to mention the slight recoil.

Nearly a hundred bullets accurately hit the stone puppet's head, destroying it into pieces.

"This thing is too powerful."

"It is indeed a powerful weapon for killing bandits, making up for the lack of fist and foot skills."

"Uncle Master is wise!!!"

Before they could say more, Jiang Mo raised his hand and signaled for silence.

"Firearms are just tools. We in Xuan Sect have our own pride."

"Don't rely too much on firearms, and be careful of my methods."

Jiang Mo decided to show them his skills. Ten strands of blue and white Qi instantly rose from his palms and gathered into the shape of spikes.

"Hmph! You little guys, watch out, don't slack off in your training from now on."

Si Chong was also waiting in anticipation, his tone clearly filled with pride: "This is something your sect leader was able to do when he was still in the second level."

All the disciples held their breath and stared at Jiang Mo intently.

"boom--!"

In an instant, Jiang Mo waved his hand and ten Qi spikes burst out with a sharp sound, tearing the air, so fast that no one could react to what was happening.

All I saw was continuous explosions ahead, and when the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, the ten stone statues were reduced to powder on the ground.

"What a fierce force."

Zhuge Yu was stunned. He couldn't imagine that this was such an outburst that a human could produce.

The faces of the other disciples all changed suddenly. Although they were all practicing the third level of Rebirth Against the Current, the difference between their uncle's skills and theirs was simply huge.

Even Lu Jin, Shui Yun and Chang Qing who had reached the second level felt that they were far inferior after seeing this.

If they punched the stone doll at close range, it would not be difficult to smash it into pieces. However, to release the Qi light from a distance of dozens of meters away and do it with such precision was extremely difficult.

Only Cheng Zhen and Si Chong were not surprised, because in the early years, Jiang Mo took them to wander around the mountains and hunt. Even the softest leaves in his hands could penetrate rocks in an instant.

"If you can achieve my level, or even the level of firearms shooting, then it doesn't matter if you don't use these iron lumps to deal with the Japanese aliens."

Under the admiring gazes of his disciples, Jiang Mo once again used his true power to recast the dust into stone figures through the air, and patiently instructed:

"Well, practice shooting, young men."

"do not let me down."

"Yes, Uncle-Master!" Everyone answered loudly, and their admiration for Jiang Mo reached a new level.

The saying that the Xuanmen sect has its own pride completely touched their hearts. No matter how powerful guns are, they are just external objects, while human beings have infinite possibilities.

"Da da da!!!"

"Bang Bang Bang!!!"

The disciples began to load their guns and pulled the triggers one after another. The fierce gunshots echoed in the secluded forest, and the nearby birds and animals were terrified and fled.

Jiang Mo, Cheng Zhen and Si Chong stood behind these young disciples and watched, their eyes full of eager anticipation.
