Under One Person, the little witch only wants to collect elves

Chapter 158: Let's take a look at the old master

The old Taoist priest Zhang Zhiwei raised his head slightly and exchanged glances with Yan Huan.

It’s strange to say, although Tiantong Taoist is the strongest in the world, he doesn’t have any unique aura when interacting with others. Although he knows that this is a big mountain, Yan Huan didn’t feel the slightest bit of oppression or discomfort in front of him.

"I've heard about your matter from the old abbot."

"Wu Men San Ren? It's strange, you have a pure aura and clear eyes, but you have no master. If there is no one to guide you, it will take a lot of effort to reach this level." Zhang Zhiwei said.

He spoke slowly, and his tone was more of appreciation than doubt.

As the saying goes, a master can only lead you to the door, but the practice is up to you. Just getting started is difficult without the guidance and reminder of others, let alone if you have to explore on your own. The practice requires a restrained temperament and unique style.

Yan Huan knew the character of this Tiantong Taoist, so he naturally wouldn't say too many polite words.

He simply replied, "It's not that I don't have anyone to guide me, it's just that my master is rarely mentioned in the world of strange people and has faded out of everyone's sight. Moreover, I am only relying on the protection of my predecessors and luck to have the modest cultivation I have today."

"It's just a bit of luck, it's nothing."

Zhang Zhiwei smiled and said, "If what you said is true, with such luck, you can be considered a chosen one."

"Since you are a wandering person without any sect, why don't you plan to choose a sect to settle down?"

Zhang Zhiwei said this in response to Wang Ai's attitude just now.

This man is famous in the circle for his sinister, cunning and greedy nature. If you are targeted by him, you will probably suffer.

Hearing this, Lu Jin took over the conversation, "I asked before, Xiao Huan meant that she is naturally free and easy, and wants to improve herself through traveling in the mortal world."

Traveling...

Zhang Zhiwei pondered over these two words, and memories came flooding back.

His former master Zhang Jingqing asked him to take off his Taoist robes, go into the secular world to gain experience and hone his character.

During this period, Zhang Zhiwei was restricted. He was not allowed to use any tricks within the sect, accept any relief or charity, or make a living by relying on his own strength.

As a result, before he went down the mountain to bid farewell to Zhang Huaiyi, he wanted to gain experience in the world. If that didn't work, he would make a living by swindling people. His opportunism was truly extraordinary.

However, as the incident was about to become public knowledge, Zhang Jingqing traveled a thousand miles overnight and gave the evil disciple a severe beating.

The famous mathematician Zhang Zhiwei passed away at this time.

Talking about traveling, this old Taoist priest might be grateful for the past. The more than a year he spent interacting with people has indeed changed him a lot.

But now, what worries him even more is his beloved disciple Zhang Lingyu. Thinking of this kid makes him love and hate him. He has to find a reason to send him down the mountain to train him.

"Experience, experience is good." Zhang Zhiwei said with emotion.

Yan Huansha nodded in approval.

"As Elder Lu said, I am still far from being able to judge people and things. To hone my character, I should naturally do so in the secular world. This is also in line with the professional characteristics of a sorcerer who connects heaven, man and earth."

"Stop!" Lu Jin raised his hand to interrupt, "Let's not talk about anything else. When it comes to knowing a person's affairs, who can compare to Mr. Shui Jing?"

"Let me tell you, Xiao Huan has a sharp eye and dug out every corner of my heart." Lu Jin leaned close to the old Taoist priest and added fuel to the fire.

roar~
With such a bluffing name and such mysterious abilities!
As for fortune-telling at a stall, although it was against the will of heaven to pry into people's fate, the old Taoist priest was proficient in it, but he lacked the ability to judge a person at a glance.

Is it some special technique, or is it that you are good at observing people's words and expressions and capturing subtle micro-expressions?
Zhang Zhiwei became interested.

Yan Huan smiled bitterly. Why did Mr. Lu always give him problems?

Seeing that the old Taoist priest was very interested, Yan Huan quickly spoke up to stop him.

"The old Heavenly Master is a half-step immortal, as is the old temple master Chen. The talismans that Old Lu used last night were so powerful that they could reach the sky. Please don't embarrass me, three old seniors."

Zhang Zhiwei's old naughty spirit came up. "Using copper as a mirror, one can adjust one's attire; using history as a mirror, one can understand the rise and fall of things; using people as a mirror, one can understand gains and losses."

"Mozi's "Against Offensive Action" says that a gentleman does not look at himself in water but in people. Looking at water, one can see his face; looking at people, one can know good and bad luck. Just take a look, just take a look."

"That's fine!" Yan Huan smiled.

When Zhang Zhiwei was young, he only had one person in his eyes, how to practice, how to be a good person, and he didn't consider other things at all. Naturally, he didn't care about the evaluation and ranking of the outside world.

Those things were worthless to him.

Now that I am old and have calmed my mind and understood the nature of life, I no longer care about false reputation.

Yan Huan treated this as curiosity and fun.

"Old Heavenly Master, you are the one who does not contend, so no one in the world can contend with you."

"In the past hundred years, there have been countless people who have practiced cultivation, but only a few have been able to reach the level of the old Heavenly Master. You are recognized as the best."

"Of course, I am not complimenting your strength here, but I am talking about your character. In my opinion, you have truly achieved the goal of using the saints to discipline yourself and the ordinary people to judge others. You are physically at the top of the mountain, but your heart is on the mountainside. Looking up, you can see the vast sea of ​​clouds, which means the road will be completed. Looking down, you can see the splendid flowers, which means you are in harmony with the world."

Discipline yourself with the saints, and judge others with the ordinary people...

"Hey!" Zhang Zhiwei raised his head, "After talking to you, I suddenly felt a sense of loss. These memories are coming back like a tide, wave after wave!"

Yan smiled but said nothing.

Of course!

These words are an extension of the teachings of the previous generation’s Heavenly Master Zhang Jingqing.

What we couldn’t do before can now be done. This is the greatest progress and the greatest recognition.

Lu Jin turned his head and saw Zhang Zhiwei with a warm face like a spring breeze and a crooked smile on his face.

"What's wrong, Lao Lu? What's that expression you're giving me?"

"Xiao Huan didn't reveal your secrets, did you? If I were to ask you, you'd be the only one who can't figure out what's hidden in your heart. It's the same for you and Lingyu. Why are all those people with '玉' in their names so dull and upright?"

"But it's okay. Just keep your attitude right. We are all over a hundred years old. We can't care about everything."

Clap clap clap!

Zhang Zhiwei patted Lu Jin's shoulder several times.

This action really made Mr. Lu very angry.

The most annoying thing is that I just heard this not long ago.

Thinking of this, Lu Jin looked at the smiling Chen Zongci and became even angrier.

"Everyone is harping on this Trinity Gate incident, and you can't get over it, right?"

Zhang Zhiwei and Chen Zongci said in unison, "That can't be helped. We can't stand talking without getting our backs hurt!"

What the two said was not a mockery or a joke, but they thought that this "flawless life" was now in Mount Lu, and it was time to come out and take a look.

"You two old bastards!" Lu Jin was about to hit them, but the two Taoists instantly stood up and rushed out.

Yan Huan shook his head helplessly and watched the three old seniors rush to the courtyard outside the palace.

Thinking of what Mr. Lu said, Yan Huan suddenly thought that what made people feel sympathy for Zhang Zhiwei was probably that after receiving the "Tianshi's guidance", this invincible man in the world also had things he was powerless to do.
