Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 92: To Hong Kong City

"Are you going to Hong Kong?"

"We've only seen Hong Kong City on TV before, but we've never been there in real life."

Coming out of the hotel, Jiang Shishi said excitedly, "When we first came here, we were still thinking about taking some time to visit Hong Kong City, see Tsim Sha Tsui, and see Victoria Harbour."

Gu Zhao waved his hand nonchalantly, "In fact, it's not as prosperous as Wangfujing in Yandu."

Xiao Ya asked, "Have you been there?"

"I went there when I was in middle school." Gu Zhao nodded. "Back then, I felt it wasn't as good as this place. Now, Yangcheng and Pengcheng are changing every day. In fact, they've already surpassed those places."

Jiang Shishi said, "But at least the childhood filter is still there, and I always want to go there once."

"After going there once, the filter was shattered." Gu Zhao laughed, "Hong Kong City is not as big as you think. The most prosperous area is only a few streets. The rest of the place is actually very old.

Take the Temple Street in the movie Young and Dangerous, for example. It looks so grand, but it's actually just an open-air night market. Is it impressive to chop people from one end of the street to the other? Any thug from a second- or third-tier city in China could do that.

Both women laughed when they heard this.

"It's a pity that we just started working and can't ask for leave easily, otherwise I would like to go shopping in Hong Kong City with you." Jiang Shishi said regretfully.

Gu Zhao asked, "Does the folk music band also have to clock in for work every day?"

Xiao Ya explained, "Our daily routine is practice and performances, and the performances are often on weekends, so it's not five days on, two days off. We basically have days off during the week, but we don't have long vacations."

Jiang Shishi said, "We are still new, so we haven't had a chance to participate in some weekend performances. That's why we were able to go to Baiyun Mountain last time, but it has become increasingly difficult since then."

Xiao Ya continued, "But our video went viral this time, so we promised to collaborate more with the group in the future. We'll have more freedom."

"The folk music band only has a few hundred fans on Douyin and Kuaishou, while Xiaoya and I both have a million!" Jiang Shishi nodded repeatedly, then sneered, "A few green tea girls in the band still want you... ahem, and they were sarcastic, but I just fought back. It's because Xiaoya is kind-hearted, otherwise..."

"Okay, okay, isn't it great now?" Xiao Ya interrupted Jiang Shishi and glanced at Gu Zhao. "With the benefits in the group, we will have more freedom in the future."

Jiang Shishi snorted indignantly, but nodded, then said to Gu Zhao, "But Hong Kong is a free port after all, and many cosmetics are still cheaper than in the mainland. Can you bring some back for us?"

Gu Zhao was fine with it, "Sure, whatever you want."

Jiang Shishi smiled and said, "I'll make a list for you when I get back!"

……

The next morning, Gu Zhao met up with Taoist Master Yihong at the high-speed rail station.

Following Taoist Master Yihong were still the two Taoists, the older one was named Zhengning and the younger one was named Shenglin.

The two were very polite to Gu Zhao, because they had long known from Taoist Yihong that Gu Zhao was able to cultivate inner breath and draw the consecrated Five Thunder Talisman, so not only did they not look at him strangely, they were even polite and respectful.

After boarding the high-speed train, Taoist Master Yihong sighed, "It's so convenient now. From Guangzhou, we can reach Hong Kong in just one hour."

"Have you been to Gangcheng before?" Gu Zhao asked.

"I've been there once." Taoist Master Yihong said, "It was more than ten years ago. We had to transfer from Pengcheng, and it took several hours." The high-speed train was speeding, and several people were chatting on the car.

Although the Five Thunder Orders had already recognized Taoist Master Yihong, Gu Zhao still tried to test Taoist Master Yihong's character during the conversation, and finally concluded that Taoist Master Yihong's character was much stronger than Taoist Master Yansong's.

Taoist Master Yansong is an old man who has not cultivated himself, but Taoist Master Yihong is definitely a kind and gentle elder, and he is devout in his faith. In order to collect the scattered Longmen classics, he travels all year round and is highly respected in the Taoist community.

"The Golden Gate Jade Lock Secret?" Taoist Master Yihong heard about the Jindan School technique that Gu Zhao was practicing. "It turns out it's from the lineage of Master Chongyang. There aren't many people practicing this set of techniques nowadays."

Although Quanzhen Taoism can be said to have been founded by Chongyang Zhenren, it was later passed down through seven generations, with each disciple passing down his own traditions and cultivation texts. Therefore, there are not many Taoists who practice books such as "The Secret of the Golden Gate and Jade Lock" or "The Collection of Chongyang's Teachings".

For example, the Quanzhen Longmen Dao, which has the most widespread inheritance in later generations, mostly practices Qiu Zu's "Panxi Collection" and "Da Dan Zhi Zhi", as well as the "Nei Dan Ji Yao" or "Jin Dan Da Yao" summarized and refined by later generations.

"But in reality, no matter how things change, they still remain essentially the same. These variations in breathing are mainly designed to suit different people," said Taoist Master Yihong. "After all, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is very thin. It is too difficult to breathe in spiritual energy and refine it into reality."

Taoist Master Zhengning and Taoist Master Shenglin nodded repeatedly and looked at Gu Zhao enviously.

They have experienced the true energy of Taoist Master Yihong and dreamed of cultivating it to come true, but they have not been able to feel the spiritual energy for more than ten years. How can they not envy someone as gifted as Gu Zhao?

"I suggest you take a look at Taoist Master Zhang's 'Origin of the Qi Body,'" Taoist Master Yihong said. "It's a cultivation method that combines internal and external skills. Paired with the Eight-Part Vajra Kung Fu, it's very effective."

After a pause and a glance at the two people beside him, Taoist Yihong added, "At least it works very well for me. If you're willing, we can discuss it with each other."

Taoist Priest Zhengning and Taoist Priest Shenglin: o(TωT)o
Gu Zhao suppressed his smile and nodded, indicating that he would go and take a look when he had time.

Taoist Priest Yihong then introduced their destination, Penglai Immortal Pavilion. "Speaking of which, this Penglai Immortal Pavilion is a branch of the Yangcheng Yuanfa Palace. A hundred years ago, when the Shenzhou land sank, several Taoists went south to Gangcheng and built this Penglai Immortal Pavilion."

"So the Penglai Immortal Pavilion's Centennial Ceremony also invited Yuanfa Palace?" Gu Zhao asked.

"I didn't ask, but it should be an invitation." Taoist Master Yihong said.

"Yandu Baiyun Temple, Xijing Eight Immortals Palace, Yangcheng Yuanfa Palace, this is quite a scene, just like the Tianshi Mansion called the Shangqing Sect and the Lingbao Sect together for a meeting." Gu Zhao said with a smile.

……

An hour passed quickly, and when they arrived at the port city, they were greeted by a car from Penglai Fairy House.

Taoist Master Yihong had already greeted them, so the other party did not question the extra person. Instead, they took the four people into the car and drove all the way to Penglai Fairy Pavilion.

Taoist Master Yihong was indeed an old and virtuous man. Gu Zhao followed him out of the car and saw a group of people waiting at the entrance of the Immortal Pavilion. Leading them was a middle-aged Taoist priest standing in the middle. He should be the owner of the Penglai Immortal Pavilion.

However, Gu Zhao did not pay attention to this person, but looked at the three people standing outside the crowd.

An old Taoist priest, a middle-aged Taoist priest, and a young Taoist priest in his thirties.

Gu Zhao blinked, followed the guidance of the Five Thunder Order in his sea of ​​consciousness, and looked at the last young Taoist priest.

"Okay, here comes another one. What should we do if there are not enough Thunder Seeds to share?"
