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

Chapter 696: Lu Ci's lifelong shame, Master's instructions

"Do you know the whereabouts of the Medicine Immortal Society?" Zhang Zhiwei put down the Taoist scriptures in his hand and said, "Come on, tell me, where is it?"

The Jiangxi Governor said, "In Chang County, my people found out that Zuo Qian, the defense officer of Chang County, has been secretly engaged in human trafficking in recent years. However, he not only accepts babies, but also some half-grown children and even adults."

"All of them?" Zhang Zhiwei asked, "Where did he sell all these people to?"

Human trafficking is usually something that only gangs do.

The garrison officer was in charge of the military command of a city. Although his position was lower than that of a military governor who was in charge of a province, he was also a big warlord.

They have many ways to make money faster, so they would not lower their status and do such dirty things as human trafficking.

"It is said that they were sold abroad, but my people have not found out how they were shipped out, or..." Jiangxi Governor paused and continued: "I suspect that these people were not shipped out at all. This person may have been sent to the Medicine Fairy Association to be used as a human Gu."

"It is indeed possible. Let me confirm it." Zhang Zhiwei closed his eyes, sank into the inner scene, and figured out whether the defense officer of Changjun was a member of the Medicine Immortal Society.

The scene inside did not give him a clear answer, but instead a fog appeared.

This fog is not thick and many people can blow it away, but it means that the secret is obscured and trying to find out the secret behind the fog will backfire.

The intensity of the backlash depends on the cause and effect of the secret.

In fact, at this point, the answer is already there. If the defense officer of Changjun is not a member of the Medicine Fairy Association, he could just directly report that he is not. The current situation is undoubtedly an attempt to cover up the truth.

Zhang Zhiwei exited the inner scene, nodded and said, "He must be a member of the Medicine Immortal Association."

After getting the confirmation, the Jiangxi Governor said excitedly: "When will the little Taoist take action?"

Zhang Zhiwei looked out the window and said, "It's getting late now, let's set off for Changjun tomorrow morning."

The Jiangxi governor was delighted and said, "Little Heavenly Master is always decisive in his work. It's more than a thousand miles to Changjun. Do you need me to prepare the vehicle and arrange the itinerary?"

"No need," Zhang Zhiwei waved his hand, "The vehicle is too slow, I'll go there on my own."

"Little Heavenly Master, do you want to fly on clouds or..." Jiangxi Governor recalled the scene that Jiangsu and Zhejiang Governor described to him last time, paused, and continued: "Or ride on the nine-headed beast?"

"The governor is not concerned about this, or does the governor also want to go with us?" Zhang Zhiwei asked.

"That's not necessary." The commander-in-chief said quickly, "I will wait for good news from the Little Heavenly Master's Mansion at Longhu Mountain."

Zhang Zhiwei nodded and walked out of the Taoist Temple. Since he had decided to go to Changjun, he must report to his master.

Anyway, Master will not refuse to eradicate such an evil practice as the Medicine Immortal Society.

He was walking in the Tianshi Mansion and found a group of people standing together in front of him. When he walked over to take a look, he saw Lu Ci lying in the middle of the crowd with a bruised face and nose, motionless.

Zhang Zhiwei frowned: "What happened? Who beat him? Who sent him back?"

Lu Ci followed his orders and went down the mountain to cut down trees and destroy temples, but he was beaten into such a cowardly state when he came back. How could he not be angry?
He thought that Lu Ci was like Tian Jinzhong who went down the mountain to find Zhang Huaiyi in the plot, and was ambushed and plotted against.

But unexpectedly, a junior fellow student said this.

"Brother Zhiwei, it was Brother Lu Jin who beat him. He said that Lu Ci had a sparring match with him and was defeated by him. He was beaten like this."

Another fellow apprentice said, "At that time, Brother Lu carried Brother Lu on his back and walked around the mansion three times. He didn't care what others said and told everyone that he had defeated Brother Lu."

Zhang Zhiwei: "."

He recalled the scene when a fisherman in later generations caught a big fish.

However, since it was Lao Lu who beat him, he didn't care.

Some time ago, Lu Ci had the upper hand and beat Lu Jin up quite a bit, but it was just that old Lu was more resistant to beatings.

"Jinzhong, send Erbi back to his room. How can he lie outside like this?" Zhang Zhiwei said, "When you send him back, remember to wake him up and tell him what happened."

"Okay, I will ensure that I complete the task." Tian Jinzhong said with a smile.

"We're coming too, we're coming too!"

The other fellow disciples also spoke very enthusiastically, saying that they were looking forward to seeing Lu Ci's wonderful expression when he woke up and knew about this.

After looking at Lu Ci, Zhang Huaiyi looked at Zhang Zhiwei and couldn't help thinking that if one day he defeated his senior brother, he would also be like Lu Jin, wandering around without telling his senior brother and telling everyone he met.

"Huaiyi, why are you in a daze? Let's go together!" After walking a distance, Tian Jinzhong saw Zhang Huaiyi standing still and reminded him.

"Oh, alright!"

Zhang Huaiyi came to his senses and was about to follow Lu Ci to his guest room, but found that Zhang Zhiwei was not with him.

He stayed and asked Zhang Zhiwei:

"Brother, aren't you going?"

"You go first, I'll go see the master and will be there soon." Zhang Zhiwei said.

"What do you want to do with me, Master?" Zhang Huaiyi asked again.

"The whereabouts of the Medicine Immortal Society are known. I plan to ask my master for instructions, and then go down the mountain to eliminate him." Zhang Zhiwei told the truth.

"Are you going alone?" Zhang Huaiyi asked.

"What do you want to say?" Zhang Zhiwei asked back.

Zhang Huaiyi said: "The Medicine Immortal Society is a large organization. No matter how powerful you are, it is difficult to achieve perfection. There may be some fish that slip through the net. It is better to bring a few capable helpers."

"If you want to go, just tell me. I'm not stopping you from going," said Zhang Zhiwei.

Zhang Huaiyi corrected him, "It's not that I want to go, I'm just thinking about my senior brother. Also, I suggest taking Lu Jin and Lu Ci with you, because after we wipe out the Medicine Fairy Society, we have to rescue a lot of people who can't be resettled. They are from the four major families, they are rich and powerful, and they can get it done with just a word from you, and it can also save a lot of trouble. Senior brother, don't you hate trouble the most?"

Zhang Huaiyi's argument makes perfect sense.

Zhang Zhiwei also thought it made sense: "Then bring them along."

"They should be willing to do so," Zhang Huaiyi asked, "What about the other brothers? Do you want to take them with you?"

Zhang Zhiwei shook his head: "Just take Jinzhong with you. Don't take the other brothers with you. Too many people will cause delays. And if there are any accidents, I may not be able to take care of them."

"I think so too. A few people are helpful, but a lot of people are a burden." Zhang Huaiyi said, "I'll go see the scene after Erbi wakes up first. Senior brother, go ask the master for instructions."

Zhang Zhiwei nodded, then moved and headed straight for the Zhenren Hall of the Great Shangqing Palace.

…………

…………

In the Hall of Immortals.

Zhang Jingqing was sitting on the armchair, holding a newspaper, and looking at the latest situation.

Which warlords are fighting each other again? What are those foreign powers that are ready to make a move doing?

The information in the newspapers is too subjective, and many things are distorted and black and white are reversed.

However, Zhang Jingqing was proficient in the five arts of Taoism, including numerology. When he saw some interesting news, he would use his inner vision to deduce and get the truth. This kind of news from the newspaper had nothing to do with him, so there was almost no obstacle to deduce it.

"Whether inside or outside the Great Wall, the situation is deteriorating. A war is brewing, and it will continue!"

Zhang Jingqing sighed, put down the newspaper and looked out the window.

As a Heavenly Master, he can see more and know more, but there are some things he cannot say, nor can he interfere too much.

This is the limitation of the Heavenly Master. The Heavenly Master can only go with the flow and cannot go against the flow. This flow is not necessarily the general trend of the world, but the trend within the Heavenly Master's Mansion.

For example, Zhang Lu, the third generation Heavenly Master during the Three Kingdoms period, had considerable power and it was not an exaggeration to say that he ruled a certain area. However, he surrendered easily and gave up the territory he had painstakingly managed for decades.

In addition to external pressure, there are also internal factors that force a heavenly master to do such a thing.

When Zhang Jingqing was young, he participated in the Westernization Movement, attended a university, and thought about saving the country from disaster, but in the end, he returned to the mountains and became a Taoist priest.

As a Heavenly Master, he seems to be high and mighty, but if he wears the crown, he must bear the weight. He has no control over many things.

There are many things he wants to do, but he may not be able to do them, so he can only let his disciples do it, but his disciples...

As soon as he thought of this, the door of the hall opened wide, and a tall figure approached from afar, casting a long shadow in the hall.

Zhang Jingqing put down the newspaper and glared at him:

"How many times have I told you that when you are working, you must knock on the door before entering."

Zhang Zhiwei said: "Master, something urgent has happened. I have received news from the Medicine Fairy Association."

The fact that Zhang Zhiwei had promised the Jiangxi governor to help eradicate the Medicine Immortal Society was naturally no secret in the Tianshi Mansion.

Fortunately, this matter has not been fermenting for long, otherwise, the Medicine Immortal Association might have got the news before he took any action.

"Found it?" Zhang Jingqing instantly understood his disciple's thoughts and nodded, "If that's the case, then you should go down the mountain and eradicate it."

"There is no need to show mercy to this kind of evil sect that has lost all conscience. We must deal with it cleanly and thoroughly, leaving no one alive, and eradicating the roots."

"To prevent any fish from slipping through the net, go find your uncle Yi Qian and ask him to send two capable men to go with you."

After hearing what his master said, Zhang Zhiwei smiled and said, "Master, great minds think alike. I think so too, but I don't plan to ask Uncle Yi Qian for help. I will just take Jinzhong, Huaiyi, Lu Jin, and Lu Ci."

Zhang Jingqing nodded: "You can arrange the personnel yourself, I don't care, as long as it is handled cleanly."

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Zhang Zhiwei said loudly.

Then, he stepped back a few steps, left the hall, performed his Seventy-Two Transformations, transformed himself into a falcon, flew out of the window, and headed straight for Lu Ci's room.

The reason why it turned into a falcon is because the speed of this bird ranks among the top in nature, with the fastest speed of more than 300 kilometers per hour, which is faster than the average high-speed rail, and naturally faster than the fast armored horse.

Moreover, because Zhang Zhiwei turned into a falcon, with the blessing of life cultivation and Qi, his speed was far beyond that of ordinary falcons. It was no exaggeration to say that he was as fast as lightning.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived above Lu Ci's room.

At this moment, everyone had just woken up Lu Ci in the room.

Lu Ci woke up slowly, looked at everyone in confusion, and listened to everyone talking at once.

From the many voices, Lu Ci understood what Lu Jin had done to him.

After being knocked unconscious, he was carried on his shoulders and walked around the Tianshi Mansion three times? He told everyone that he was defeated by him? He even showed them his black eyes? !
"Ah ah ah ah ah……!!"

Lu Ci roared and screamed. Just by imagining the scene in his mind, he couldn't help but his eyes turned red. Although he was not a decent person, this method was indeed too embarrassing.

"Lu Mang, you bastard, you beast... I will never coexist with you in this life..." He started cursing.

When he was cursing, everyone in Longhu Mountain just watched his performance quietly without making any noise to disturb him.

After cursing for a while, Lu Ci felt tired and stood up suddenly, ready to seek revenge on Lu Jin, but as soon as he stood up, he felt his body go limp.

The Qi in his body has not recovered yet. If Tian Jinzhong hadn't pulled him back, he would have fallen headfirst to the ground.

"Be careful, Brother Lu. Even if you want to get your revenge, you have to adjust your state." Tian Jinzhong said.

Zhang Huaiyi added silently, "Brother Lu was able to carry you around the Tianshi Mansion three times. His condition is much better than yours now. If you go looking for trouble with him now, be careful that you will be carried around three times again!"

When Lu Ci heard this, he calmed down instantly. Yes, going to cause trouble for Lu Mang in this state would be just asking for humiliation!

He sighed, calmed himself down, and suddenly noticed something was happening outside the window.

It turned out that there was a bird outside the window. The bird was standing on the top of the window, leaning down, stretching its head downward, and glancing straight at him. It looked shifty and very human.

"This is..." He inexplicably saw a shadow of Senior Brother Zhang on the bird.

Am I so mad at Lu Mang that I am losing my mind, or is this bird actually transformed from Senior Brother Zhang?

After so much time had passed, the fact that Zhang Zhiwei could perform seventy-two transformations had naturally become known to everyone.

Some time ago, fellow disciples often asked Zhang Zhiwei to perform the art of transformation for them to see.

Their requests were varied, some wanted Zhang Zhiwei to turn into a tree, some wanted him to turn into an animal, some wanted him to turn into a master...

There were even a few junior brothers with bad intentions who asked him to transform into a beautiful woman for show, but now they were rewarded with a few chestnuts and beaten with lumps on their heads.

This cunning guy can't be Brother Zhang!
In Lu Ci's heart, Zhang Zhiwei's image is still very glorious.

But just as he thought this, he saw black energy surging out from the bird's body.

A tall figure slowly emerged from the black energy. It was Zhang Zhiwei.

"........."

"Senior Brother Zhang, is it really you?!" Lu Ci's eyes widened.

"uh-huh!"

Zhang Zhiwei coughed lightly, with an unstoppable smile on his face: "There's nothing strange about this. I heard that you were knocked unconscious by Lu Jin, and you were carried around the Tianshi Mansion for a few rounds?"

Lu Ci said unhappily, "Brother Zhang, you've been listening outside the window for a long time, so stop talking about irrelevant things."

"Feeling embarrassed?" Zhang Zhiwei asked with a smile.

Lu Ci nodded unwillingly, and then he added: "It's only better than Lao Lu being slapped in the face by you and crying in public."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhiwei's smile froze.

The others burst into laughter.

Lu Ci was silently comforting himself. Although he was very embarrassed today, he was still better than Lu Jin.

At least he still has a chance to get back at square one, but Lu Jin has no chance of getting back at square one from Senior Brother Zhang.
