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

Chapter 643: The Little Heavenly Master Riding a Lion Down the Mountain

Watch you go into the mountains...

Zhang Jingqing frowned and said, "I want you to take advantage of the situation and go into the mountains. Let Tiantai Sect give an explanation in front of fellow Taoists all over the world and guarantee to cut ties with the Japanese pirates. This is the focus of this trip, not for you to show off your courage."

He reminded: "Remember, in this mission, attacking the heart is the best, killing is the worst!"

Zhang Zhiwei grinned: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely put the overall situation first!"

"That's good!"

Zhang Jingqing glanced at Zhang Zhiwei with some suspicion. Why did his disciple answer so readily this time and also consider the overall situation?

I am over there, and that is the overall situation... Zhang Zhiwei added silently in his heart.

On the other side, Lu Jin hadn't seen Zuo Rutong for a long time and missed him very much. After coming over to pay his respects, he began to talk about his progress during this period.

Even though Zuo Rutong still had things to tell his disciples, he did not interrupt Lu Jin.

He listened carefully with a look of relief. After Lu Jin finished speaking, he gave Lu Jin a positive evaluation and encouraged him.

Then, he gave his three disciples some instructions.

There wasn't much content, it was mainly to tell them to follow the little master's steps closely, not to be reckless but also not to be timid, he would be there to support them from behind, even if there were any accidents, the master would come to the rescue and other comforting words.

Master Zuo is naturally very kind to his disciples. He has poured his heart and soul into every disciple of the Trinity Sect. It can be seen that even with Zhang Zhiwei, he is still a little worried.

From here, Zhang Zhiwei also understood why in the plot, during the Battle of Mianshan, so many sects including the Four Dragon and Tiger Sects participated, while the Sanyi Sect, which obviously had a very good relationship with these sects and should have stood together with them, did not participate.

It must be that Zuo Rutong was reluctant to send the disciple whom he personally taught to the battlefield.

the other side.

After Zhang Jingqing gave Zhang Zhiwei a few instructions, he took out a booklet from his pocket and handed it to him:
"This is some information about the Tiantai Sect from the inn. The Tiantai Sect will hold a water and land ceremony, inviting fellow practitioners and the eight Buddhist sects to discuss Buddhism and preach. The day the water and land ceremony begins is exactly the day you will venture into the mountains."

Zhang Zhiwei narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you trying to recruit people? Which sects do you want to go to?"

Zhang Jingqing said: "Except for the Zen sect, which did not give a clear response, the other sects have accepted the invitation, and even monks have arrived at the Tiantai sect one after another by various means."

"Do these monks want to help Tiantai Mountain and go against us?" Zhang Zhiwei asked.

Zhang Jingqing shook his head and said, "It's still unclear whether we should do it right now. They just said they wanted to discuss Buddhism."

Just say... Zhang Zhiwei smiled indifferently and said:
"No matter what they plan, as long as he doesn't stop me, I won't bother to care about them. We in Longhu Mountain are not some underworld organization. How can we care about their ceremonies? Master, don't you agree?"

"You are right. There is some information about high-ranking monks of the Tiantai Sect in here. You should take a good look at it and be careful not to get tricked!" Zhang Jingqing warned.

Zhang Zhiwei took the booklet handed over by his master and said with a smile:

"Master, rest assured, I will take a good look at it!"

"Yes!" Zhang Jingqing nodded. Just as she was about to give a few more instructions, Tian Jinzhong came over with Zhang Huaiyi.

"Master, do you really want to go to Mount Tiantai to challenge the mountains?" Tian Jinzhong asked hurriedly.

Zhang Jingqing didn't hide it and nodded, "Yes."

"Master, do you have tacit approval for this?" Tian Jinzhong asked again.

Well done... Zhang Huaiyi didn't say anything, but cheered for Tian Jinzhong silently in his heart.

Zhang Jingqing glanced at Zhang Huaiyi and nodded, "Master tacitly agreed."

"Master, I want to go too. How can we let you go alone for such a thing?" Tian Jinzhong said hurriedly.

"Me too." Zhang Huaiyi observed his master's expression and instinctively told him that his master would refuse, so he quickly added:
"Master, what Jinzhong said makes sense. I know your concerns, but even if my senior brother went to the mountain in his own name, isn't it normal for him to bring a few fellow disciples with him? If he is the only one who went to Longhu Mountain, doesn't it prove that he has a bad relationship with people in Longhu Mountain? This is a bit unreasonable!"

Zhang Jingqing narrowed his eyes, looked at Zhang Huaiyi unhappily, and said:
"You are such a cunning boy, don't beat around the bush for me. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell what's going on. We don't need to worry about whether it's reasonable or not. But... since you two want to go, then just go with me. Just treat it as seeing the world."

Although Zhang Huaiyi said that he had let it go, Zhang Jing knew clearly that deep down in his heart, this guy still regarded Zhang Zhiwei as his opponent.

He did not object to conflicts among fellow disciples. Having an opponent on the road was like having a signpost on the road. It was a good thing, but the prerequisite was that one chose the right opponent.

If you choose the wrong opponent, the signpost is too high and too far away, so far that you can't even see it. That is not necessarily a good thing. It is easy to be too ambitious and ignore the path you are taking, thus going astray and going astray.

Since Zhang Huaiyi wants to, let him go and have another look so that he can face up to the gap and calm his restless heart, and take steady steps on the road ahead.

After giving some instructions, Zhang Jingqing and Zuo Rutong left.

"Brother, when are we going down the mountain?" Tian Jinzhong asked.

"The news has been released, and fellow martial artists are also rushing to the foot of Tiantai Mountain. As the initiator of this operation, I naturally cannot be late." Zhang Zhiwei looked at everyone: "Do you have anything to pack? If not, let's set off now."

"I'm available anytime!" Lu Jin said.

Li Muxuan and Cheng Zhen had just arrived and there was nothing to pack, so they could leave at any time.

The same goes for Tian Jinzhong.

However, Zhang Huaiyi and Lu Ci had to pack up their belongings.

"Go quickly and come back quickly." Zhang Zhiwei said.

The two left quickly.

Zhang Huaiyi was heading towards the back mountain.

The place Lu Ci went to was the guest room of Tianshi Mansion.

After a while, Lu Ci came back with a hoe in his hand. The part of the hoe that was digging the ground was shiny and looked very sharp, while the handle of the hoe was shiny and smooth, and it was obvious that it had been polished a lot.

"Erbi, what are you doing with a hoe?" Zhang Zhiwei said speechlessly.

"You really want to bring this hedgehog?" Lu Jin laughed.

Tian Jinzhong had a suspicious look on his face as he held a hoe. Could it be that Lu Ci was the crazy hoeing man who had been making the rounds recently?

Cheng Zhen and Li Muxuan also looked at Lu Ci in surprise. When Lu Jin took them to find Lu Ci before, Lu Ci was digging the ground. Now he even brought a hoe with him. Does he have any special hobby?
Looking at Lu Ci's hoe, Cheng Zhen recalled the scene when Lu Ci was digging the ground. He didn't feel it at the time, but now when he thinks about it, it seems to have a different charm.

Li Muxuan didn't think too much about it and was grinning.

Li Muxuan was born smart and was best at acting. He would not fail to realize that this would offend Lu Ci, but he just wanted to do it because Lu Ci always looked down on him and called him a womanizer.

He was no match for Lu Ci in the past and suffered several losses. Now he has practiced the three levels of reverse rebirth and has already mastered the first level. His skin and flesh have been transformed into Qi, and he possesses the power of a dragon and a tiger. Combined with his own ability to reverse the eight directions, he is confident that he can fight Lu Ci to avenge himself.

Of course, if he wants to get back his position, he should find a suitable time. He can't just challenge someone indiscriminately. After all, he still has to maintain a good image in front of the little master. He can't be impatient. He needs to wait for an opportunity.

Lu Ci said, "This thing has been in contact with my Qi these days, and I've gotten used to it. I'll need to run it in with a new one later, so just take it with you!"

Lu Jin walked over and touched the hoe, then said with a smile: "If you nurture it well, over the years, it might become a magical weapon that can cut through iron like mud!"

When he thought about Lu Ci carrying a hoe and fighting against others in the future, he wanted to laugh.

"What do you know?" Lu Ci knocked Lu Jin's hand away. "This is not a weapon for fighting. It's a tool for my practice. It's just like the cushion you use for meditation. It's just a vehicle for a better state of practice. What's the big deal?"

He glared at Lu Jin, then looked at Li Muxuan with disdain, and sneered, "I have learned all the true teachings from Senior Brother Zhang. How can a few country bumpkins who have never seen the world understand the mystery?" He said we country bumpkins while carrying a hoe? Li Muxuan felt uncomfortable, but he was puzzled. What mystery did he mean? Could there be a mystery in digging the ground?

Lu Jin was suspicious, "Have you really studied Brother Zhang's hoeing skills thoroughly?"

"Is that true?" Lu Ci said with a smile, "The gap between you and me will become bigger and bigger."

Lu Jin was not convinced and was about to refute, because just now, Master Zuo Rutong had taught the three of them new techniques.

A Saint Thief who can be used in conjunction with Ni Sheng.

With the Saint Thief's blessing, he doesn't need to worry about the consumption of the Qi in his body and can make full use of the reverse Qi transformation and recovery. He already has the confidence to fight with Lu Ci.

But at this moment, Zhang Huaiyi came back and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

He was holding a bulging bag in his hand, which made a crisp sound when he shook it, which was the sound made by the oceans colliding with each other.

"Huaiyi, how much does this full bag cost?" Tian Jinzhong asked in surprise.

"You hid your private money in the back mountain!" Zhang Zhiwei reacted.

"Money is money, what is private money?" Zhang Huaiyi said, "I have already taken all the money I left in the back mountain."

“This is my entire family,” he stressed.

"What are you going to do with so much money?" Zhang Zhiwei asked.

"We need money to go down the mountain," Zhang Huaiyi said. "Brother, when we usually go down the mountain, Fatty Wang gives us money. Fatty Wang is not here this time, and we have to have a meal and drink some wine to meet fellow martial artists. All these things cost money."

"We are the host, we can't let others pay for it, and you don't care much about money, so I have to pay for it."

He weighed the purse in his hand and said, "I hope this money is enough."

"What you said makes sense!" Zhang Zhiwei nodded in agreement and took out his wallet. There were a lot of miscellaneous things in it, but not much money.

Every time he went down the mountain, he was accompanied by a mobile money bank, and he never worried about money.

Moreover, he himself doesn't care about money. With his abilities, how can he not make money if he really wants to?
It would not be a problem for him to find a big bank and use the Five Ghosts to carry the talismans and move dozens or hundreds of tons of gold in one go, but he just didn't bother to do so.

At this time, Li Muxuan suddenly raised his hand: "I, I, I, Senior Brother Zhang, I have money."

He took out a thick stack of banknotes from his pocket: "These should be enough for the expenses!"

Li Muxuan's father is the financial backer behind the Trinity Sect. His wealth may not be as much as the Wang family's, but it is still an astronomical figure.

Not long ago, when Li's father learned that his disobedient son had turned over a new leaf and returned to Trinity Sect, he was overjoyed. He provided additional funding to Trinity Sect and gave Li Muxuan a large sum of money, asking him to build good relationships with his fellow disciples.

It’s just that most of the people in Trinity Sect are very frivolous and regard money as dirt, so not much of the money was spent. Unexpectedly, it would come in handy now.

Zhang Huaiyi looked at the banknotes in Li Muxuan's hand and silently put away the purse in his hand.

This is really weird. Why are there so many wealthy people around my senior brother? Fatty Wang left, and here comes Laocai Li?

Following these tycoons, Zhang Huaiyi, the richest disciple of Mount Longhu, felt deeply frustrated.

A lady named Li, you want to show off your little money? How foolish... Lu Ci thought with disdain.

From the very beginning, he looked down on Li Muxuan, thinking that he was indecisive and had the temperament of a proud old woman. He still looks down on him now.

As for despising the money in Li Muxuan's hands, as the son of the head of the Lu family, he really has the qualifications.

As a family with a history of thousands of years, the Lu family has accumulated less wealth than the Wang family, but both families are in the same class.

And the Wang family’s wealth… In the plot, although the Tianxiahui, with a market value of 300 billion yuan, has some rebellious tendencies, it is openly one of the companies controlled by the Wang family, so one can imagine the wealth of the Wang family itself.

In this era, warlords and oligarchs are everywhere, and wealth distribution is even more uneven. The Wang family has more property than in later generations, and the Lu family is naturally not far behind.

That's why Lu Ci was dismissive of Li Muxuan's banknotes.

The Lu family is very rich, but Lu Ci is poor.

Because he has never touched money and he is not interested in money.

Zhang Zhiwei didn't have these thoughts. He patted Li Muxuan's shoulder and arranged:

"Xiao Li, from now on, you will be the steward of our group."

Li Muxuan immediately smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, don't worry, I will make sure everything is arranged properly."

After the gathering was completed, everyone went down the mountain. To facilitate the movement, Zhang Zhiwei distributed magic armor and horses to everyone.

Li Muxuan put on his armor and saw that Zhang Zhiwei didn't put it on, so he asked, "Brother Zhang, don't you use this?"

He is a person who is very good at building relationships. He used to be a little master, and now he has become Senior Brother Zhang.

"I'll just do whatever I want!" Zhang Zhiwei said with a smile, "You guys are all running on the ground, and I'm flying in the sky alone, how embarrassing is that?"

"Then you..." Before Li Muxuan could finish his words, a dumbfounded expression appeared on his face.

A lifelike nine-headed lion appeared under Zhang Zhiwei.

"I knew it would be like this!" Zhang Huaiyi covered his head.

"Compared to this, I actually think riding a crane is more low-key!" Tian Jinzhong expressed his opinion.

At this time, Lu Ci noticed that although the nine-headed lion under Zhang Zhiwei was lifelike, it was made of Qi and had no real hair. He reacted instantly:
"Brother Zhang, is this the weakened version you mentioned before?"

"Do you want to try it?" Zhang Zhiwei asked.

"It's not necessary!"

Lu Ci shook his head like a rattle. Even though it was a weakened version of the nine-headed lion, he still felt a strong sense of threat.

"This is……"

When Cheng Zhen and Li Muxuan saw this method for the first time, they reacted almost subconsciously. They remembered some rumors they heard when they went up the mountain, saying that the little master was the reincarnation of Emperor Qinghua of the East. Could the legend be true?
They were about to ask, but saw Zhang Zhiwei had already set off. The nine-headed lion leaped dozens of feet, stepped lightly on the branches, and quickly disappeared.

Zhang Huaiyi, Tian Jinzhong and others quickly followed.

On the edge of the cliff, Cheng Zhen and Li Muxuan looked at each other.

Both of them saw very shocked expressions in each other's eyes.

"Is he really the reincarnation of the emperor?" Cheng Zhen murmured.

"Then we are guaranteed to win this time?!" Li Muxuan's tone was filled with suppressed excitement. His name was Mu Xuan, so how could he not be excited when he saw this scene?
At this time, Lu Jin's voice came from afar.

"Big Brother, Little Brother, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and catch up!!"

The two men came to their senses and flew out immediately.
