Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 53 There is something wrong with this world

In the evening, the sun sets.

Cuishan Village, rosewood forest.

Bai Ke squatted under a tree with a ceramic bowl in front of her and a roast chicken in it. She ate in small bites while watching Gu Zhao practicing martial arts in front of her.

The embroiderer was right next to her, but her beautiful eyes never left Gu Zhao from beginning to end. This was her first time seeing Gu Zhao practice martial arts.

Gu Zhao was practicing the White Crane Fist that he learned from his grandfather.

White Crane Fist is one of the southern boxing styles. After more than 300 years of development, it has evolved into four different styles: Zonghe, Minghe, Feihe and Shihe.

However, Gu Zhao did not use one of these four styles. Instead, his style evolved from the authentic White Crane Fist, which was not circulated outside. It not only emphasized form and spirit, but also intention and qi.

While doing boxing, Gu Zhao imagined himself as a crane, his feet light and nimble, but rooted to the ground, and his hands flapping and striking like wings and beak.

At this moment, his neck was steady and his shoulders were relaxed, his waist was tight and his legs were moving, and his Qi was sunk into his Dantian, which was in line with the Baihe's lightness and speed, the combination of hardness and softness, and the tightness inside and looseness outside. He usually looked slow in stretching, but when he moved, he was as fast as lightning.

"It's a bit like Tai Chi." Taoist Master Yansong commented.

Gu Zhao finished his work and said, "I'll take it as a compliment."

"Young master, have some water!" The embroiderer came up trotting and handed over a bowl of clean water that had already been filled and cooled. After Gu Zhao took it, she took out a piece of silk brocade from her sleeve and wanted to wipe Gu Zhao's sweat.

After looking for several times, she didn't see any sweat on Gu Zhao's forehead, but the embroiderer still wiped the non-existent sweat from Gu Zhao's temples very seriously.

Taoist Master Yansong watched with amusement, then teased Gu Zhao, "Show your demeanor. Be stern, aloof, with sharp eyes and a domineering tone."

Gu Zhao rolled his eyes at Taoist Master Yansong and said, "This is reality, not fiction. How could such a fool exist in reality?"

The embroiderer's lips curled up as she hurriedly comforted Gu Zhao, "Master Yansong hopes that you can act like a true sect leader and not lose face for our sect outside."

Gu Zhao was stunned, and Taoist Yansong was also a little confused.

After comforting Gu Zhao, the embroiderer immediately brought a glass of water to Taoist Yansong and softly advised, "Uncle Master, please don't be too strict with the young master. He has a kind heart and a gentle personality. How can he behave arrogantly and domineeringly now? Let's take it slow."

Taoist Master Yansong blinked and finally smiled, "What a good girl, you really know how to talk. Gu Zhao is so lucky to have you."

The embroiderer's eyes curved, "It is my blessing to be able to serve you, sir."

Bai Ke snorted, "I am of the Celestial Fox bloodline. If you and I become one, your future achievements will be limitless. He is just a human mage. He is powerful now, but..."

"I still have two five-spice roast chickens to give you." Gu Zhao raised two fingers and reminded.

"With your magical inheritance, you probably won't be too weak in the future. You will be qualified to be compared with me and the embroiderer." Bai Ke nodded.

Gu Zhao and Taoist Yansong looked at each other, each with their own thoughts.

After getting the jade token of the Spiritual Court from Xu Kongting, they also got a lot of details about the cultivation in this world from Bai Ke.

The most powerful beings in this world are either ghosts, gods, monsters, or spirits.

Although there are wizards in this world, they are not at the top of the pyramid. Moreover, the slightly more powerful wizards are either believers in ghosts and gods who can borrow the power of gods, or they are in harmony with demons and spirits and can borrow the power of demons to fight the enemy.

For example, the two major forces in the Daning court, the leader of the Xuanwei Divine Sect is a god, and the leader of the Lingyuan Court is Lingjun.

As for the mages who relied solely on their own cultivation, they were at the bottom of the ecological chain, just one of the countless living beings. A pure mage who could fight against a century-old ghost was already quite remarkable. Privately, Gu Zhao and Taoist Master Yansong had discussed this.

"This world is not dominated by humans."

"But there must be some connection between this world and ours, otherwise the writing and culture wouldn't be so similar."

"With such abundant spiritual energy in the world, why can't human mages cultivate to become immortals?"

"There's something wrong with the world!"

"Once we have a deeper level of cultivation, we may be able to understand more about the situation."

After all, Bai Ke is still a white fox that has not transformed. Although he always claims to be of noble blood, he does not seem to be that powerful, and he only knows some basic knowledge.

Gu Zhao felt very lucky to have met Bai Ke and let them understand the general situation of this world.

Thinking of this, he looked at the embroiderer next to him and picked up the green feather fan from the bundle, "This is for you."

The embroiderer was startled and shook her head hastily, "No, no, it's too valuable. It's better for you, young master, to use it."

"I don't need this thing." Gu Zhao shook his head.

The embroiderer now only has a Sky Fox Nail as an offensive weapon and lacks any means of self-defense. However, this green feather fan can blow out a strong wind from a blade, and can be used for both offense and defense, which is most suitable for her.

For Gu Zhao, the yellow talismans he used for attack and defense were enough to participate in a small battle.

"Then let's give it to Uncle Master Yansong." The embroiderer turned to Taoist Master Yansong.

Taoist Master Yansong stroked his beard, shook his head, and changed his face into a blue one. He jokingly said, "Do you think I'm short of wind?"

The embroiderer also laughed when she heard this, "Master-uncle has Taiyi Divine Wind, so of course he won't be short of wind."

"So if the master gives it to you, just take it." Taoist Master Yansong shook his head, retracted his mask, and said with a smile, "You must protect yourself so that he can practice with peace of mind."

This sentence made the embroiderer blush, but she could no longer say that she didn't want the Qingyu fan.

Gu Zhao held the Jade Flute, feeling somewhat puzzled. "This thing is a good auxiliary magic weapon, but who can play it?"

Taoist Master Yansong raised his eyebrows and used the Thunder Seed to transmit a message to Gu Zhao, "Go back and teach those two girls how to practice. They are learning traditional Chinese instruments, so they will definitely be able to play them."

Gu Zhao was helpless, "We are just friends."

"Yeah, what are you thinking?" Taoist Yansong winked at Gu Zhao, "Can't friends teach each other how to play the flute?"

Gu Zhao: (–)
"But speaking of this, I do have to return to Blue Star for a while." Gu Zhao changed the subject and sent a message to Taoist Master Yansong, "I can't miss the school's graduation ceremony, and I also need to find someone to design a Taoist temple based on the terrain."

Taoist Master Yansong waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, leave this to me. I won't let your maid get into any danger. If anything really happens, feel free to contact me. We can talk across borders anyway."

The Five Thunder Order can communicate between the two worlds, so although the Thunder Seed cannot cross alone, as an appendage of the Five Thunder Order, it is also contaminated with a trace of the aura of the two worlds, and at least it can achieve cross-world communication.

Gu Zhao nodded and made an OK gesture, "Okay."
