Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang.

Chapter 690: Being a Taoist Priest Without "Morals"
Afterwards, Zhang Zhiwei asked about the recent situation in the Northeast region.

Although the Tiantong Hall basically evacuated Liaodong, the Gao family and the Hu Tianbiao Hall worshipped by the Gao family still remained there.

And after the last incident, Hu Tianbiao, under the instigation of Liu Kunsheng, also joined the Tiantong Hall and became a visiting immortal.

Hu Tianbiao did bring some news to Zhang Zhiwei. In the northeast, the Japanese pirates were very dissatisfied with Marshal Zhang.

Moreover, because Zhang Zhiwei had killed too many high-ranking Japanese pirates in several actions, some of the newly transferred young and strong people were not as easy to talk to as the previous Japanese pirates. They were very tough and constantly put pressure on Marshal Zhang.

Marshal Zhang's previous tactics for dealing with the Japanese pirates no longer worked, and the two sides were on the verge of a falling out.

The head of the Gao family predicted that in the near future, there would be major changes in the Liaodong region, and there might even be a war.

"Since we know there might be a war,"

After hearing this, Zhang Zhiwei felt that some major events were about to happen, although there was a deviation in the timing.

However, it is difficult for him to reverse this situation. He can't go to the Northeast to be Marshal Zhang's personal bodyguard. Marshal Zhang and he don't have such a relationship.

As for the relationship between him and Zhang, to put it bluntly, it was nothing more than that he had to go to the Northeast to do some things, and Zhang provided him with some conveniences. The essence was just mutual benefit and a win-win situation.

Moreover, there is another point. Even if he goes, it is hard to say whether he can save the collapsing building.

After all, when the situation becomes completely deteriorating, it cannot be held up by one person alone.

Under the torrent of the general trend, no matter how strong a person's power is, he can only add fuel to the fire and cannot go against the will of heaven.

Throughout history, many great figures like Zhang Jiao and Wu Hou who went against the will of heaven ended up with a bleak ending.

Zhang Zhiwei was able to achieve his goal with a single thought, kill evildoers, eliminate Japanese pirates, and act chivalrously and righteously.

But if he really wanted to separate the current Tao from himself, put it on saving the people of the world, and then build a certain kind of world, he couldn't do it, and this was not the Tao he sought.

However, considering the friendship from their previous collaborations, Zhang Zhiwei still asked Hu Tianbiao to give Marshal Zhang a reminder.

He not only had to be wary of assassinations by Japanese pirates, but also of plots by his own people.

After finishing his explanation, Zhang Zhiwei cut off contact with Hu Tianbiao.

Then he stood up from under the crooked tree, waved his hand, and left Tianmen Peak with the crooked tree's farewell.

As soon as he returned to Tianshi Mansion, Lu Jin came to him to ask about the problem of Saint Thief.

Lu Jin is now able to skillfully use the Saint Thief, but when using it in conjunction with Reverse Life, he feels a bit obscure.

This made him very uncomfortable, and he couldn't wait to control both of them and then get back at Lu Ci.

But when it comes to spiritual practice, the more you want it, the less you get it. After trying hard and studying it to no avail, he came to find Zhang Zhiwei.

After listening to Lu Jin's description, Zhang Zhiwei thought for a moment and gave him some advice.

In fact, Lu Jin’s problem was not a problem at all. The reason for this was that he did not have a high enough level of control over Qi.

After all, the triple reverse life skill has a very complex and sophisticated Qi trajectory.

Precision not only represents strong capabilities, but also often means being weak. Once something goes wrong in any link, it is easy for the whole thing to collapse like a domino.

As for Lu Jin, his control over Qi is almost up to par. He doesn't feel any problem when he uses one of the methods individually, but once they are used in combination, problems will arise.

As for how to solve the problem... Zhang Zhiwei's advice to him was to ask Zhang Huaiyi for advice.

He really didn't have any good solution for this kind of thing. After all, he had never encountered this problem before.

Isn't it possible to perform a trick just by looking at it and practicing it? Where is the difficulty? I can't see it at all.

It is really difficult for him to come up with a solution to a problem he has never encountered before.

The Big Eared Thief is very good at this and should be able to give Lu Jin a better answer.

"Brother Huaiyi looks inconspicuous, but he has this ability?" Lu Jin asked in surprise.

He knew that Zhang Huaiyi was powerful, but he had no idea how powerful he was. Besides, Zhang Zhiwei was there, so he asked Zhang Zhiwei whenever he had questions, and therefore never asked Zhang Huaiyi for advice.

Zhang Zhiwei said: "This guy is very secretive. If you have any questions in the future, you don't have to come to me for advice, especially when it comes to technical control. It's more useful to ask him than me!"

"Then I will go and ask Brother Huaiyi for advice now!" Lu Jin walked away doubtfully.

After sending Lu Jin away, Zhang Zhiwei went to the dining hall to get some food. Although he had practiced the Saint Thief technique and could eat Qi to become immortal, he still maintained some of his past living habits.

He ate his meals as usual and drank his wine as usual, and he was not affected too much.

In his hands, the Saint Thief was only a means to complete his own Three Elements Qi, but it was not enough to settle down and make a living.

After dinner, Zhang Zhiwei went to the Taoist Canon Hall to read the Taoist Canon for a while. Reciting Taoist classics was also one of his common things to do.

These Taoist classics may not allow him to gain any truth or principles immediately, but they will settle down and become his foundation.

One day, when the opportunity comes and you suddenly realize, all the accumulated and puzzled things in the past will be unlocked.

Zhang Zhiwei has experienced this situation several times, and each time he has benefited greatly and made considerable progress.

Therefore, reading Taoist scriptures frequently was also one of his compulsory courses during his meditation.

After reading the Taoist Canon, Zhang Zhiwei went out and met a few fellow disciples. He boasted to them for a while.

Although some of the things have been said before, perhaps because Zhang Zhiwei has a talent for storytelling, his fellow disciples always listen with gusto.

This made Zhang Zhiwei secretly think that if one day his master asked him to stop using his tricks and go down the mountain to gain experience, perhaps he wouldn't have to become a liar and tell fortunes.

He could become a storyteller, telling ordinary people about his past experiences, and maybe he could make a good living.

After telling some interesting stories about the underworld, Zhang Zhiwei stretched himself and began to reflect on himself three times a day and temper his life. His life was simple and boring.

Time flies and some time passes.

During this period, major events occurred in the underworld and even in the overall situation, but they had nothing to do with Zhang Zhiwei, and he did not participate in them.

The news that Zhang Zhiwei killed Liang Ting also spread in the martial arts world, especially after Jianghu Xiaozhan announced the cause of Liang Ting's death and the details, it caused quite a stir in the martial arts world. In fact, the people in the martial arts world were not surprised that Zhang Zhiwei could kill Liang Ting. After all, the young master had both strength and reputation. No one would be surprised if he killed anyone, even the acting head of Quanxing, Wu Gensheng.

What surprised them was that Liang Ting died so miserably, so cowardly, and so powerless. According to the description given by Jianghu Xiaozhan, Liang Ting had almost no room for resistance in Zhang Zhiwei's hands and was defeated and killed with great ease.

You have to know that Liang Ting is a double grandmaster who slaughtered his entire family alone.

Even though people in this world look down on Liang Ting's character, no one looks down on Liang Ting's strength.

But who could have thought that such a powerful being would be like a chicken or a dog in front of the little Taoist priest.

How powerful is that little Taoist priest?
Is he a human being, or has he become a god?
For a time, there was a discussion in the world about whether the young master had become an immortal.

During their discussion, someone recalled the scene in which Zhang Zhiwei ascended to heaven by stepping on a nine-headed lion in Tiantai Sect.

At that time, there were rumors in the martial arts world that he was the reincarnation of Emperor Qinghua of the East, which was why he could ride a nine-headed lion.

However, because this rumor was too bizarre, it did not cause much stir. But this time after Zhang Zhiwei killed Liang Ting, the rumor that he was the reincarnation of Emperor Qinghua of Dongji started to spread again.

Some people with bad intentions even started to set up lewd temples in his name, worshipping statues in his likeness and deceiving people everywhere.

Some of them were very large, so large that they generated a lot of power of faith, which allowed Zhang Zhiwei to discover clues.

Most of Zhang Zhiwei's faith power comes from Tiantong Hall.

The beliefs of Tiantong Hall basically come from two places.

One is Mr. Huang Liu’s Tiantong Medical Hall, and the other is Wang Ai’s Tiantong Church.

The Tiantong Medical Clinic focuses on treating illnesses, while the Tiantong Church focuses on church schools and church factories, both of which do good deeds to save lives and heal the wounded.

Therefore, his beliefs were relatively pure, and now a large group of mottled and chaotic beliefs suddenly appeared, and Zhang Zhiwei noticed it almost immediately.

After reading this part of the belief and knowing the cause and effect, Zhang Zhiwei talked about it with everyone and planned to destroy those large obscene temples and wild sacrifices.

When Lu Ci heard this, he was immediately dissatisfied. How could he trouble Zhang Zhiwei to personally handle such a trivial matter?
He volunteered to get the job done.

In fact, he was a little impatient. During this period, he went to the fields to improve his life skills at night, practiced magic during the day, and went to class in the morning and evening to sleep.

Although his strength was steadily improving, this kind of peaceful and tranquil life was too dull. He couldn't wait to go down the mountain and find some opponents to test his skills.

Not returning home with wealth and honor is like walking in fine clothes at night, and the same is true of learning skills but not using them.

Since Lu Ci wanted to go, Zhang Zhiwei let him go.

When Lu Ci went down the mountain, he wanted to take Lu Jin with him. They were typical enemies on the surface but brothers in reality.

Lu Jin originally wanted to go, but his practice had reached a critical point and he was only one step away from a breakthrough, so he declined Lu Ci's invitation and said they could go together next time.

When Lu Ci saw that Lu Jin was not going, his expression changed instantly. He ridiculed him for being useless and that his practice was not as good as his. He said that when he came back, he would definitely give him a good beating and give him a spur.

Lu Ci's outrageous words made Lu Jin furious, and he swore to beat him to a pulp when he came back.

The two parted unhappily. Lu Jin went back to practice with all his might, while Lu Ci went down the mountain to cut down trees and destroy temples.

As for the others, Zhang Huaiyi was still studying hard, but he seldom practiced or sparred with others, so he kept a low profile and outsiders didn't know how much progress he had made.

Tian Jinzhong was also practicing, but he had a lot of questions, and whenever he had a problem he would go to Zhang Zhiwei. Zhang Zhiwei also patiently answered his questions one by one regarding his junior fellow's confusions in practice.

In fact, although Tian Jinzhong was only Zhang Zhiwei's junior fellow apprentice, 70 to 80 percent of his skills were taught by Zhang Zhiwei. When a master teaches skills, he mostly just leads the way.

Therefore, there has always been a saying in Zhang Jingqing's lineage of Tianshi Mansion that Senior Brother Zhiwei was taught by the master, and the other brothers were taught by Senior Brother Zhiwei.

Neither Zhang Zhiwei nor Zhang Jingqing felt offended by this statement. For the Taoist sect, teaching skills on behalf of a master is actually a very common thing.

Lu Jin found it a little unbelievable, because in the Trinity Sect, almost everyone's practice was taught by the master himself, so how could they be so lazy like the Heavenly Master?
In fact, Zhang Zhiwei’s responsibility was not only to teach skills on behalf of his master, but also because he was on a temporary assignment at Zhengyi Temple, he needed to go out to perform some tasks.

The Tang Clan’s mission is to kill people, and the Taoist priest’s mission is naturally to kill ghosts and monsters.

It’s just that Zhang Zhiwei often went down the mountain without permission before, and repeatedly missed the tasks assigned to him by Zhengyi Temple, so he basically never participated.

After he returned to the mountain this time, he did not go out for a long time. Yi Qian, who was in charge of Zhengyi Temple, immediately arranged things for him.

After all, there are not many capable men like Zhang Zhiwei. If we don't make good use of him now while he is still on duty in Zhengyi Temple, he will be of no use in the future.

Uncle Yi Qian had something to arrange, so Zhang Zhiwei naturally did not refuse. It was just a piece of cake after all.

The business of Zhengyi Temple is said to be to exorcise demons and monsters, but there are not so many demons and monsters in this world. Most of them are about exorcising evil spirits and performing rituals.

Zhang Zhiwei took on several of them. Normally, it was not his turn to do such a small matter as dipping and performing the ritual.

First, his status is there, and second, he is not good at this.

But perhaps it was the battle with Tiantai Sect that made him famous. Not only was he known by people in the circle, but even people outside the circle knew that a true immortal with great supernatural powers had appeared in Longhu Mountain.

Therefore, many people spent a lot of money and specifically asked Zhang Zhiwei to perform a ritual.

Regarding this matter, Yi Qian did not make the decision directly to Zhang Zhiwei, but asked for his opinion: should he go or not?
After all, a dignified Little Taoist Priest from Mount Longhu actually had to bow down and perform rituals for others just for a few bucks. How embarrassing it would be if people spread the news!

However, Zhang Zhiwei was not as noble as Yi Qian thought. As for the method, if there are demons, then slay them; if there are ghosts, slay ghosts; if there is nothing, then just use the sword to make random moves for a while. What's so difficult about that?
Afterwards, he asked about the price. When he learned that considering his wealth, one session of the treatment would cost several thousand dollars, he readily agreed.

Making money, doing business, that's not shabby.

In this era, a teacher's monthly salary was only 20 or 30 yuan, a worker's was 10 yuan, and a policeman's was only a few yuan...

He went down the mountain to perform a ritual once, which was equivalent to their work for most of their lives, so how could he not go?

Whether he uses this money to build a few soup kitchens in the disaster-stricken areas, or to build a few orphanages or church schools in the Tiantong Church, it would be of great benefit and would benefit thousands of people.

The little Taoist priest’s face can be very valuable, or it can be worthless!

With this idea in mind, Zhang Zhiwei went down the mountain and performed magic several times. As a result, he didn't encounter any monsters or demons. He just jumped around for a few rounds and earned tens of thousands of dollars.

When Uncle Master Yi Qian found out, he was so angry that he slapped his thigh and said that he had great martial virtues but lacked the moral character of a Taoist priest, in other words, he had no morals.
