Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 1 Five Thunder Orders

It is already very hot in Guangzhou in May.

Scattered white clouds float in the sky, and the unstoppable sunlight shines straight down, shining through the mottled shadows of the trees and turning into golden light, which is still dazzling.

When Gu Zhao walked out of the job fair in the school gymnasium, the air conditioning instantly stopped working and he felt a stuffy heat.

"How is it?" A voice suddenly sounded beside him.

"Not very good." Gu Zhao recognized the voice and shook his head. "It's either sales or customer service."

Zhang Hang was slightly surprised and asked, "Is there no one hiring programmers?"

"Yes." Gu Zhao nodded, then curled his lips, "But they only recruit graduate students."

"Haha!" Zhang Hang laughed, then put his arm around Gu Zhao's shoulders. "What kind of job are you looking for? Programmers all work nine-nine-six. Wouldn't it be nice to go back and take over your dad's job?"

Gu Zhao was speechless. "My father is now in his prime and strong, so there is no need for me to take over."

"Then I'll be a landlord!" Zhang Hang said slyly, "I'll play around for a few years first, and then I'll take over!"

Gu Zhao glanced at Zhang Hang and asked, "Can you be a little more ambitious?"

"I have high aspirations, okay!" Zhang Hang said righteously.

Zhang Hang counted on his fingers as he told Gu Zhao, "I'm not a good student and can't find a good job. The three or four thousand yuan a month I earn might not even be enough to cover my medical expenses if I get too tired.

If I don't have to work, I can use my time to have morning tea, play games, watch live broadcasts, and exercise. I'll be in good health and good mood, and maybe even find a girlfriend."

Zhang Hang looked at Gu Zhao and asked, "Don't you think this is much more cost-effective than going to work?"

Gu Zhao felt a pang of pain in his teeth. "You have many rooms, you are right!"

Gu Zhao and Zhang Hang have been classmates since middle school. They live not far from each other and have similar personalities, so they easily became friends.

Both of their families run factories and do business, but over the years, Gu Zhao's family's business has been running smoothly, while Zhang Hang's family's business has experienced a leap forward, so they have more houses in Yangchengtun.

"If you ask me, you shouldn't look for a job anymore. Let's shoot a video and explore stores in Guangzhou. After you become famous, you can take advertisements. You can have fun and make money at the same time!" Zhang Hang urged Gu Hang.

"I won't shoot a store exploration video." Gu Zhao snorted, "If you take money and say something against your will, it will affect my Taoism."

Zhang Hang was speechless. "What era is this? Why are you still cultivating Taoism? Don't monks and Taoists these days still open martial arts schools and health clubs to make money?"

Zhang Hang pulled out his phone, opened Douyin and Kuaishou, and clicked on Gu Zhao's account. "Look at the video you posted. The background music and background are quite innovative. What's it about?"

Gu Zhao glanced at Zhang Hang's phone screen and said calmly, "Three Lights and Positive Qi Cultivation Method and Tiangang Talisman."

Zhang Hang, “…”

"Useless!" Zhang Hang complained, "Are you selling cinnabar and yellow talismans on Douyin and Kuaishou?"

Gu Zhao didn't bother to pay attention to him and walked straight out of the school. "Anyway, I don't accept advertisements. My grandfather taught me that if you want to live a healthy and long life, you must have a smooth mind."

"You haven't even scratched your head yet. You'd better become famous first. Even with more than 300 fans, you still can't get any advertising!"

Zhang Hang caught up with Gu Zhao and continued to offer advice, "If you want to gain followers, why not make some jokes?"

Gu Zhao asked as they walked, "What kind of clip are you filming?"

Zhang Hang smiled and said, "How about being a hero and saving a beautiful girl? Didn't you learn from your grandfather? You fight pretty well too."

"What an old, clichéd joke!" Gu Zhao complained. "Who still watches this kind of joke these days? People only watch me trying to be a hero and save a beautiful girl, only to be scammed and have to pay me back."

"Just shoot it like this, it's bound to be a hit!" Zhang Hang gave a thumbs up, "You play the unlucky kung fu master, and I play the guy who conspires with the beautiful woman to cheat you." "Thank you so much!" Gu Zhao was speechless.

"Hey?" Zhang Hang realized that Gu Zhao was not going to the school cafeteria, but was heading towards the school gate. "Aren't you going to continue submitting resumes this afternoon?"

"It's too late. Why invest? Just take a nap in the afternoon!" Gu Zhao said in a broken voice.

……

After having lunch with Zhang Hang, Gu Zhao walked into a community not far from the school and returned to his home.

This house was bought by Gu Zhao's parents when he was admitted to university. It served as his place to stay besides the school dormitory. However, it was rarely used before. He only moved in this year when he was doing internship and secluded to write his thesis.

Then Gu Zhao got used to living here. He moved almost all his things from the dormitory here, and the only thing left was to get his diploma from school.

After throwing his schoolbag on the sofa and changing into home clothes, Gu Zhao went to the balcony, sat facing the sun, and meditated as usual.

Gu Zhao's skills were all taught by his grandfather.

According to my grandfather, their lineage also has a heritage, but it was cut off from the orthodox Taoism very early on and was only circulated among the people. What he learned can be considered traditional culture, and it would be a pity if it was lost.

In the era when Gu Zhao's father was breaking away from feudal superstitions and carrying out economic reforms, he had no interest in monasticism or martial arts. He gave up on these early and joined the business community, where he achieved some success.

By Gu Zhao's generation, living standards had improved, the country had become increasingly stronger, and national confidence had increased. Coupled with the addition of Internet information, Gu Zhao became interested in these things.

So I started learning under my grandfather's guidance and practiced for more than ten years.

Even though his grandfather has passed away, Gu Zhao has already developed a habit.

Sit cross-legged, pinch the Shen seal with your hands, close your eyes slightly, keep your mind focused, and breathe in and out with long breaths.

Gu Zhao bathed in the warm sunlight, imagining the sun's true energy pouring into his body, flowing through his body, and transforming into his own strength.

After breathing for about fifteen minutes, Gu Zhao stopped, opened his eyes, and felt his own condition.

Hmm...nothing has changed.

Of course nothing has changed!
I feel clear-headed, my breathing is smooth, and I feel much more energetic. All the morning annoyance has disappeared.

Gu Zhao stretched and prepared to get up.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a heat in his chest.

Gu Zhao was startled and quickly took out the wooden sign hanging around his neck.

This is a piece of lightning-struck jujube wood, half the size of a palm. It is red with a hint of black. A statue of a god and incomprehensible symbols are carved on the front, and a talisman is carved on the back, which contains the words "Five Thunders".

Gu Zhao called it the Five Thunder Order.

This was something passed down to him by his grandfather. It was said to be a token of their lineage. Legend has it that the founder received the teachings of the gods in his dream, and when he opened his eyes, there was a bolt from the blue, hitting the jujube tree next door. The founder was surprised and investigated, and got the secret from it.

Gu Zhao has been wearing this token for several years, and it has been exposed to the sun before, but when has it ever been so hot?
Staring at the Five Thunder Order in his hand, Gu Zhao suddenly felt the order vibrating in his hand.

"What's going on? He moved on his own!"

Gu Zhao was stunned, his mind went blank for a moment, and he felt a breath surrounding the token, as well as waves of suction.

Gu Zhao subconsciously moved closer to the token and concentrated on feeling it.

The next moment, he felt a black screen before his eyes, and then the whole person disappeared from the balcony, leaving only a faint "Huh..."
