Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 10: First Action in Modern Times
Gu Zhao had no intention of using magic power.

Are you kidding? He has only used palm thunder once so far, and it is still unclear whether this five thunder talisman will work.

What if the Five Thunder Talisman is ineffective and strange phenomena occur after injecting magic power?
What if the Five Thunder Talisman is ineffective? If I rashly inject mana into it, will it explode halfway?
In any case, it was not a good idea to inject magic power into the talisman for the first time in public. He originally wanted to take cinnabar and yellow paper to the other world for experimentation.

But his paintings are so comfortable!
He wrote without stopping from beginning to end, his momentum was as great as mountains and rivers, and it was completed in one go. He felt a sense of relaxation throughout his body, and it also triggered a surge of magic power in his body, which began to circulate involuntarily, starting from his dantian, and moving downwards to the three yang meridians of the feet to fill his feet, and moving upwards to the Chong meridian and into the three yang meridians of the hands to penetrate his fingertips.

"Shh!"

The magic power flowed through the brush into the cinnabar, blending into the yellow paper, and then...

Most of the magic power quickly dissipated into the air, and only a small part was integrated into the cinnabar yellow paper, but it was actually still slowly dissipating.

Feeling the magic power dissipating in the air, Gu Zhao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The failure of drawing the talisman was within his expectations, but at least no strange phenomenon occurred, and the talisman did not burn or explode.

Thus, he still managed to draw a useless Five Thunder Talisman successfully.

Only Daoist Master Huibin, who was standing nearby, felt his lower abdomen suddenly skip a beat, and his heart was throbbing. However, he was a little confused as to why. "Did you have an upset stomach from what you ate this morning?"

The others didn't feel anything about the dissipated magic power, but they were very interested in the beautiful Five Thunder Talisman drawn by Gu Zhao. Many of them opened their phones to take photos and videos.

Gu Zhao picked up the Five Thunder Talisman, shook it, looked at it for a moment, and handed it to Huibin.

Huibin took a look at the Five Thunder Talisman, which was slightly different from the Tianshi Dao, but he didn't care. "Thank you, Junior Brother."

The young man next to him suddenly said, "Can you use this Five Thunder Talisman to perform the Five Thunder Method? Why don't you show us a demonstration?"

"Are you endless?"

Gu Zhao and Hui Bin looked at the young man, but it was Miss Shuoguo who spoke. "This is a matter between them and the Yuanfa Palace. The Taoist priests in the palace didn't say anything. Did they bring it up?"

The young man's voice also rose a little. "I'm talking about my own business. What does it have to do with you? Why are you butting in? Are you showing off?"

"I think he's handsome, and he can even draw the Five Thunder Talisman!" Miss Shuoguo was also very straightforward. "I also can't stand your sarcastic tone."

The young man angrily said, "He said he encountered a female ghost and that he could use the Five Thunder Talisman!"

Miss Shuoguo immediately retorted, "You take it seriously when I tell you to eat shit? Are you going to do it?"

"What the hell..."

"This is a quiet place in the Taoist sect, no noise is allowed!" Huibin stepped forward and shouted in a low voice, suppressing all the noise.

He held the Five Thunder Talisman in his hand and said to the young man, "The Five Thunder Talisman can dispel disasters, protect the house from evil spirits, and bring peace and fortune. It is not a tool for fighting for supremacy."

The girlfriend pulled his sleeves frantically, and the young man stopped talking. He just snorted, glared at Gu Zhao, turned around and left, not even taking the talisman he had chosen before.

Seeing the young man leave in anger, Gu Zhao turned to Miss Shuoguo and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome, he's the one who hates it." Miss Shuoguo waved her hand, causing a ripple.

"Thank you for speaking up for me." Gu Zhao also smiled, "Otherwise, if he angered me, I might really give him a palm thunder to let him know that thunder magic is not a joke."

"Then you'll be taken away by the security guards." Miss Shuoguo laughed so hard that her body shook. Then she said seriously, "With the Five Thunder Talisman, you'll have a weapon next time you encounter a female ghost. I wish you all the best in your future demon-slaying endeavors."

Gu Zhao also responded with a serious bow, "Thank you for your kind words, young lady. I have only seen ghosts so far, and I don't know if there are any demons. I hope the Five Thunder Talisman can be of use."

The two girls laughed when they heard this and thought Gu Zhao was very interesting.

Of course, they were just strangers who met by chance, and they had not yet exchanged contact information. After saying a few words, Miss Shuoguo waved at Gu Zhao and took Miss Changtui to Lu Zu Temple to draw lots.

After watching the two women leave, Gu Zhao had no intention of continuing to tour the Yuanfa Palace. Instead, he thanked Hui Bin again and said goodbye, heading towards the gate to leave. Looking at Gu Zhao's tall back, Hui Bin's eyes showed a hint of doubt, and he always felt that something was wrong.

A moment later, seeing Gu Zhao leave, Huibin's eyes flickered, and he clapped his hands and said to himself, "Right, great start but poor finish!"

Overall, this matter was a bit anticlimactic. In the early stages, there were female ghosts and thunder magic to whet people's appetite, and in the later stages, he just drew a five-thunder talisman and left in a cool manner.

If it was a middle school boy who wanted to show off after learning some tricks, he would probably show himself more high-profile, whether it was talking about Taoism with himself or showing off his abilities.

But apart from the fact that what the young man said seemed very unreliable, his overall demeanor was very calm, and he behaved very naturally, with a Taoist style.

Huibin thought about it again and suddenly realized that although this matter was caused by the young man in front of him wanting to buy cinnabar and yellow paper, he was not the instigator of the incident. Whether it was the Five Thunder Talisman or the female ghost, he actually asked about it himself, and the subsequent quarrel was also the young man who took the initiative to cause trouble.

In other words, whether she rejected him without asking for reasons or simply gave him the cinnabar and yellow talisman, nothing actually happened afterwards.

That being the case...

"Why did he say those misleading words?" Huibin frowned deeply, very puzzled.

Huibin thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. He could only shake his head. Seeing that the Five Thunder Talisman in his hand had dried up, he folded it into a triangle in a few seconds, put it in his arms, and turned to leave.

……

On the other side, Gu Zhao walked out of the door and rubbed the stack of yellow paper. He found that there were more than twenty sheets, which was probably enough for his consumption in the next two days.

"Hurry home, travel to another world, and try out Taoism!" Gu Zhao's interest was piqued again, and he prepared to take the subway home.

Then he saw the young man not far away.

The young man and his girlfriend were walking towards a BMW 3 Series parked on the side of the road. He put his hand into his pocket, and then the sound of the car unlocking was heard.

"He's crazy. He comes to the Taoist temple to show off. What a fool. He doesn't even..."

"Boom!"

A thunder suddenly sounded in front of him, scaring the young man so much that he trembled and almost threw his girlfriend out.

The roar also attracted the attention of passers-by around, and they all focused their attention here.

"what happened?"

"It's thundering?"

"Nothing's changed?"

"a bolt from the blue?"

Then everyone, including the young man, noticed that the BMW 3 Series parked on the side of the road was emitting thick smoke. The entire body of the car was obviously damaged and charred, the front engine made a "crackling" sound, and sparks were coming out from the rear.

"The engine spontaneously combusted?"

"No, it seems like I was struck by lightning. What bad luck..."

"Watch out for exploding cars!"

Passersby around him dodged, but the young man was stunned and screamed at the top of his lungs, "My car!"
