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

"Let me ask you, how is your practice of concentrating?"

While speaking, Zhang Jingqing glanced at the magic sword hanging on the pillar of the main hall intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhang Jingqing's actions made Zhang Zhiwei's heart skip a beat and he said quickly:

"Master, this trip to Liaodong is a practice for my disciple. Since it is a practice, there is no reason to delay the practice. This Dharma basket has naturally been condensed!"

"Yeah?"

Zhang Jingqing looked at Zhang Zhiwei in surprise.

As a contemporary Celestial Master, he has great energy. During Zhang Zhiwei's trip to Liaodong, except for some private matters that he didn't have eyes and ears involved in, he didn't know, but he knew roughly what he had done.

Zhang Zhiwei's itinerary can be said to be very full. Except for taking a boat on the return trip, there is basically no time to complete it.

Could it be that with just a little effort, the Dharma Ribbon was condensed?

Zhang Jingqing did not expect that Zhang Zhiwei would lie to him like Lin Huaiyi did. Although Zhang Zhiwei was not an honest and honest disciple, he would not deceive his master.

"Light up your Dharma basket and show it to me?" Zhang Jingqing asked.

Zhang Zhiwei did as he was told, and a red-gold urn emerged, with densely packed, powerful and dignified seal characters flashing on it.

"Good boy, this is how you condense your Condensed Dharma Ribbon. There are only a few outer urns on it, all of them are scriptures. Does it make any difference whether your Dharma Ribbon is condensed or not?"

Zhang Jingqing glared. He asked Zhang Zhiwei to condense the talisman because he wanted him to inherit the talisman, not to do these flashy things.

Zhang Zhiwei scratched his head and said with a smile: "It's inconvenient to go out and there is no Taoist treasure to see. Isn't this a temporary measure? Let's get the level of the Dharma urn up first. As for the outer urn, it's not too late to practice after returning to the mountain. , Master, I have met the requirements you said!"

Zhang Jingqing remained silent. This did meet the requirements he gave, but it did not fully meet the requirements. How to deal with it is a question...

Seeing Zhang Jingqing's expression showing displeasure and saying nothing, Zhang Zhiwei said again:

"Master, before returning to the mountain, I told Uncle Shoucheng about this. Uncle Shoucheng was very impressed. He also said that during my trip to Liaodong, I would kill Japanese pirates, punish evil spirits, cut down mountains and destroy temples, and release dragon veins. There are more than a dozen great achievements to be remembered."

Zhang Jingqing immediately laughed angrily, "Then you mean, not only did you have no fault for sneaking down the mountain this time, but you will also be rewarded heavily?"

Do you want to reward you with a flying sword that spirals into the sky?

Zhang Zhiwei said quickly: "Master, don't get me wrong, merit is merit and demerit, and I have no intention of using merit to offset demerit."

"What I actually meant by what I said just now is that Uncle Shoucheng thinks that my merits are perfect, so he recommends me to receive the third-level legal position of the Arctic Exorcism Academy - the Jiutian Jinguan Qing of the Arctic Exorcist Academy. One position!”

"What, Shoucheng actually wants to recommend you, a white man who is not even a ninth-grade priest, to receive a third-grade priest?"

Zhang Jingqing was shocked. Zhang Shoucheng had always been meticulous in doing things, step by step. Why did he suddenly take such a big step this time?

The third-level legal position is not low. Those who can take on this important task are generally high-level Taoist masters. All of them have both ability and political integrity. In today's officialdom, their minimum guarantee is at the mayor level.

In other words, Zhang Shoucheng's move was nothing more than finding a college student who had not yet graduated and recommending him to be the mayor.

How could such a move not surprise Zhang Jingqing, who is also one of the three masters?

"Although you have great merits this time, the third-level Dharma position should not be given lightly. It doesn't matter whether you can succeed or not. If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. You can bear the twelve merits in five years. Is it your responsibility?" Zhang Jingqing said seriously.

"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!" Zhang Zhiwei also said with a serious face: "Master, with my current methods, if I still stay in Longhu Mountain and let my brothers go out to take risks, even if you don't have any objections, they have no objections. But I feel sorry for myself. If I receive the legal position, I can contribute better, right?"

Moreover, after receiving the legal position, you can also get out of the mountain better.

Zhang Jingqing was stunned for a moment, then she suppressed her thoughts of tying Zhang Zhiwei to a flying sword and sacrificed him, and said:

"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. This sentence is very good, very simple, but also very heavy!"

After a pause, he continued: "Zhiwei, please remember that whether you are a person or a person, if you want to achieve something, you need a spirit of responsibility, the courage to affirm yourself, and believe that you can accomplish something. .”

"This is the prerequisite for a person to continue to grow. Being responsible for one thing is an affirmation of oneself and a kind of inner self-confidence."

"This time you sneaked down the mountain, which made me very angry, but I am very happy that you have this realization. There are merits, and there are faults. Legalists say that merits and faults do not offset each other, each is his own."

"However, being a teacher is not so strict. As the saying goes, a house that has accumulated good deeds will be blessed, and a house that has accumulated bad deeds will be in trouble. In this trip, the merits and demerits will balance out, so I will not punish you for now."

"If you can receive the third-level legal position in this ceremony, then everything will be over. Your future merits and demerits will be determined by the "Taiwei Immortal Lord's merits and demerits". If you cannot do it, then as a teacher It’s time to calculate the general ledger!”

"Taiwei Immortal Lord's Merits and Demerits" is the account book of the Immortal Official Taoist Priest. What is an Immortal Official Taoist Priest? It refers to Taoist priests who have received legal ordination.

This type of Taoist priests, with the addition of legal positions, have the power to enforce the law. The main functions of the Arctic Exorcist Academy are to criticize ghosts, gods and criminals, assist in righteousness and exorcism, bring happiness to the people, and prevent disasters for the country.

After receiving the legal office, the good and evil of Taoist priests cannot be simply judged. For example, if killing one person can save ten thousand people, how can it be determined?

This is a topic that has been widely discussed in later generations. No matter how you choose, it is very difficult. You killed one person and saved ten thousand people. You have made great achievements, but you have also made mistakes. If the merits and faults are not balanced, you have to pay with your life.

But in this case, if everyone does not seek merit, but seeks no faults, then ten thousand people will die?

Therefore, there was the emergence of "Taiwei Immortal Lord's merits and demerits".

This is a book that records the personal good and evil deeds of immortal official Taoist priests who hold legal positions. Just like keeping accounts, daily good deeds will be recorded in the book, and daily bad deeds will also be recorded in the book.

"Taiwei Immortal Lord's merits and demerits" will be settled once a year. If the evil deeds above exceed the good deeds, he will be punished. The lighter case will be demoted, and the more serious case will be stripped of the legal position.

This is also why in many legends about the love between humans and demons, the Taoist priest insists on his own way, kills the demons, and breaks up the lovers. After that, he will shout in annoyance that it is the reason why he did something wrong. It is not that they suddenly repent, but "Taiwan" "Weixianjun's merits have failed" gave a reaction.

As the saying goes, armed with sharp weapons, murderous intentions arise, but how many people can guarantee that after becoming stronger, their mentality will not change?

People cannot be black and white, and "Taiwei Immortal Lord" cannot guarantee the absolute good or evil of an immortal Taoist priest, but it can guarantee that this Taoist priest is on the good side in a large area, and this, from then on, To a certain extent, that's enough.

Zhang Zhiwei didn't care about "Taiwei Immortal Lord's merits and demerits".

He even felt that this would help him examine himself. Moreover, he had great merits, and even if he occasionally acted willfully and out of line, the merits and demerits would be offset by the merits.

Of course, he does not specialize in this practice. Even if one day he commits a serious crime and is stripped of his legal duties, it will not shake the foundation of his life.

Compared with the annual reckoning of "Taiwei Immortal Lord", the Master's reckoning is more frightening... Zhang Zhiwei nodded like a fool:

"Master, this disciple must go all out to obtain the position of Dharma!"

Zhang Jingqing nodded and said: "I'll wait and see, master. Do you have anything else? If not, go back and condense the outer urn!"

"I also want to tell Master about the process and gains of my trip to Liaodong!" Zhang Zhiwei said.

"Really? It seems that you have gained a lot from this trip. Let's talk about it. I am all ears!"

Zhang Jingqing smiled and said that although he knew a lot about Zhang Zhiwei's itinerary, he still wanted to hear what his disciple had to say.

Zhang Zhiwei said: "By the way, Master, I followed Ma Xian's method of opening a hall and opened a hall. The name of the hall is still named after my Taoist name, called!"

"Call it Master Tiantong, right!?" Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Jingqing answered.

"It turns out that Master already knows!"

Zhang Zhiwei was not too surprised by this. It was not a secret, and it was normal for it to reach the master's ears. What surprised him was why the master was so calm. He should not have reprimanded him for being arrogant and arrogant.

Zhang Jingqing saw Zhang Zhiwei's heavy expression and smiled and said: "The Tao Te Ching says that the world is not benevolent and treats all things as stupid dogs. All things have animism and the world is not owned by one person. Therefore, animals and plants can also obtain Qi. This is The will of heaven, I am not that kind of person who cannot change the past. If they do not do evil to others, I will naturally accept it happily. Besides, the people I teach have countless people who can practice the Five Rampant. Just treat it as if you have trained a team of Five Rampant soldiers. Bar!"

"Master is wise, speaking of refining the fifth master, have you refined the five rampant soldiers and horses?" Zhang Zhiwei asked curiously.

Zhang Jingqing shook her head and said: "I practiced when I was young, but after I became a heavenly master, I stopped practicing!"

"Why?" Zhang Zhiwei asked.

Zhang Jingqing glanced at him: "Because the Heavenly Master doesn't need five rampant soldiers and horses!"

Zhang Zhiwei instantly understood that there are five types of talismans in the world. Among them, there is only one Shangqing Great Cave Sutra urn in the world, and it is only awarded to the heavenly master, which represents the highest authority of the talisman.

Therefore, the Heavenly Masters do not need the five rampant soldiers and horses who go down to the altar, because they can dispatch the orthodox soldiers and horses who go up to the altar.

Zhang Zhiwei speculated that the method of teaching this magic urn may be somewhat similar to the old peasant skills that Zhang Huaiyi later passed on to Zhang Chulan.

When it came to Tianshidu, the master was not very interested. Zhang Zhiwei did not continue to talk about Ma Xian, but instead talked about Prince Su Shanqi.

He talked about the black-hearted club he opened in Bincheng, which prohibited Japanese people from entering and gave preferential treatment to Chinese people. He also talked about how he dominated the Japanese pirates' territory and exploited ordinary people. He also talked about how he sacrificed his ancestors. , something to complement one’s destiny...

After listening to this, Zhang Jingqing felt a lot: "This man is really tolerant and unscrupulous. If he had stronger skills, he could be a hero. But his destiny is the soul of heaven and the number of heaven. This person has the number of heaven, but he wants to go against it." However, this move is simply a stupid pig and a stupid donkey, bringing about your own destruction!"

"What Master said is absolutely true!" Zhang Zhiwei said.

"By the way, I learned from your mouth that the former prince named Shanqi was average in strength, but he knew some strange and obscene skills, so he was quite difficult to deal with. Come on, let's talk about the strange and obscene skills that made him Are you feeling embarrassed?" Zhang Jingqing asked curiously.

Zhang Zhiwei said: "It's a strange skill called the art of moving mountains!"

"The art of moving mountains?" Zhang Jingqing frowned, unable to determine the details of the art of moving mountains mentioned by Zhang Zhiwei.

After all, some aliens are given names that are too grand. For example, if Feng Baobao Awei's Eighteen Postures of the Shadow-Seeing Sitting Lotus were called by another alien, it might be called the Taishan Pressing Technique.

Zhang Zhiwei continued: "Shanqi's father was the Iron Hat King of the previous dynasty. He once led troops to encircle and suppress the Taiping Heavenly King. It is said that his father learned the skills from the masters of the Taiping Army."

"This technique can peel off the Qi veins of mountains and rivers to crush people. The momentum is very strong. The disciple carried two mountains on his shoulders, walking as fast as flying. He was about to pick up the third mountain, but he was not strong enough and died!"

Hearing Zhang Zhiwei talk about the Taiping Heavenly King, Zhang Jingqing's face became heavy, and she seemed unwilling to talk more about this aspect, saying:

"You said that you can carry two mountains on your shoulders and walk as fast as flying. You actually want to carry a third mountain. You are simply arrogant. Who do you think you are? Even the monkeys are overwhelmed by the energy of the three mountains. The three corpses of the gods burst out from the seven holes. Hong, are you better than Monkey Sun?!"

Zhang Zhiwei stood aside with a straight face and said nothing.

Zhang Jingqing continued: "A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength. Next time, you have to get rid of him before he uses the technique. How can you just take it hard? If the opponent is a master like the Tang Sect, it will be impossible to prevent him from attacking. Now you It’s dangerous.”

Zhang Zhang Zhiwei nodded like a fool: "Yes, yes, master, I remember it!"

In fact, he just said he was relaxed, but in fact, he felt uncomfortable having two mountains on his shoulders. If there was another mountain on his head, he could not guarantee that he could hold it up.

"By the way, Master, what caused the Hongyang Rebellion back then to cause such a big chaos?!" Zhang Zhiwei asked.

The Jiashen Rebellion in later generations is at least known to be caused by the Thirty-six Thieves and the Eight Wonders. However, the Hongyang Rebellion a hundred years ago is only known to be caused by Hong Yang and the two of them, but it is exactly what they obtained that caused it. After that catastrophe, there was nothing left.

Zhang Jingqing did not look at Zhang Zhiwei. He lowered his eyes, sighed, and said:

"They have opened a certain taboo. It is a catastrophe, a catastrophe that has a long history, and it is far from over. It may come back at any time."

"Taboo? What taboo?"

Zhang Zhiwei asked. He had always guessed that the root cause of the Hongyang Rebellion and the Jiashen Rebellion should be the same.

"Taboos are taboos. Okay, let's end this matter. Those two strange skills you got are not yours, but you can't teach them to your brothers casually. They are honey and you are arsenic. They may not be suitable for you. They need to be carefully investigated,"

"Master, disciple understands!"

Zhang Zhiwei nodded and said that he really had no intention of passing on the unique skills in his hands to his brothers.

The side effects of the mountain-moving technique are currently unknown, but it has high requirements for the heavenly soul. Tongyou may lose his body physically...

On the other hand, Emperor Zhenwu's unique skills may be broken down and reduced from complex to simple. However, you may need to ask your master for advice. Emperor Zhenwu's unique skills cannot possibly involve the taboos of the Celestial Master!
