Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 99: Give Taoist Master Yihong a Little Shock
Gu Zhao and his companions stayed in the port city for a few more days before preparing to return north.

After sending off the Taoist priest from Yuanfa Palace, Gu Zhao made an appointment with Yun Yang to go to Xijing to eat steamed buns with him later. Only then did he find Taoist Master Yihong.

"Master, are you going back to Baiyun Temple directly?" Gu Zhao asked.

Taoist Master Yihong nodded and said, "I have collected most of the Longmen scriptures in the past few years. All that's left is to recite scriptures, drink tea, and rest in the temple."

"You don't have any mundane affairs to worry about, right?" Gu Zhao continued to ask.

"I am over eighty years old and my eyesight is blurry. What worldly affairs do I have to attend to?" Taoist Master Yihong said with a smile.

"That's good. That means you can actually be anywhere." Gu Zhao said with a smile, "It doesn't matter even if you live in Yangcheng in the future."

Gu Zhao and Taoist Master Yihong were walking and chatting when they arrived at the hill behind Penglai Fairy Pavilion. It was morning and the trees on the hill were sparse and there were no outsiders.

"It doesn't matter. Do you want me to live in Yangcheng permanently in the future?" Taoist Yihong thought about it and probably understood. "Are you worried that those Yinggao people will harm me?"

"Thank you, but it's okay." Taoist Master Yihong waved his hand and smiled, "The cultivation world isn't that mysterious. We live in a society ruled by law now. They wouldn't dare to take action in China."

"That's not the case. It's about cultivation." Gu Zhao said, "If you live in Yangcheng in the future, it will be beneficial for your cultivation. Maybe you can even ascend to heaven in the future."

Taoist Master Yihong was a little confused. "What did you say?"

"I say, if you are willing to live in Yangcheng in the future, you may be able to succeed in cultivation and ascend to heaven in broad daylight." Gu Zhao said again.

Taoist Master Yihong turned around and looked at Gu Zhao with burning eyes.

After a moment, he said, "Those Tiangang Talisman and Shangqing Great Forbidden Dragon Binding Talisman are not something that ordinary people can draw. You must have had some kind of opportunity."

Taoist Master Yihong has cultivated true Qi. Although it is shallow, he is still a cultivator after all. After all, he can accept extraordinary settings better than ordinary people. What's more, he has seen Gu Zhao's Tiangang Talisman and Shangqing Great Forbidden Dragon Talisman before.

Considering Gu Zhao's words at this time, we can probably understand that Gu Zhao might have obtained some kind of fate.

Is it a magical tool passed down by ancient Taoist masters?

Or is it a treasure that stores spiritual energy?

"I'm old. Even if I die now, it would be a blessing. Every day I live longer is a blessing. I don't need your things. You should practice well. The task of inheriting the Taoist classics in the future will be up to you young people." Taoist Master Yihong shook his head and smiled.

"Why should it be the responsibility of young people?" An old, slightly sarcastic Sichuanese voice suddenly sounded, "Young people have no experience, they act impulsively, doing whatever they want without considering the consequences. How can they shoulder such a heavy responsibility?"

Taoist Master Yihong turned around and saw an old Taoist priest in a blue Taoist robe suddenly appear.

"Fellow Daoist, are you..." Taoist Master Yihong bowed and asked.

"Your future colleague." Taoist Yansong bowed and casually threw something the size of a palm to Gu Zhao.

Gu Zhao subconsciously reached out to take it, "What is it?"

"You said research, and then you threw something at me." Taoist Master Yansong said unhappily.

Gu Zhao picked it up and saw that it was actually a tortoise shell. He was shocked and asked, "Have you figured it out?"

"Actually, it's not that difficult. You just need to explore the true Qi into every corner inside, and it will be done naturally when your mind moves." Taoist Master Yansong laughed.

"So easy?" Gu Zhao expressed shock.

"Of course it's not that easy. It also depends on the materials." Taoist Master Yansong pointed at the tortoise shell in Gu Zhao's hand. "This thing works. Then I tried other things, but none of them worked, not even the green feather fan."

Gu Zhao understood, "It also requires special materials. For example, Sun Wukong's golden hoop can be used, but Zhu Bajie's nine-toothed rake cannot."

"Yes." Taoist Master Yansong nodded.

Taoist Master Yihong listened to the conversation between the two and saw the tortoise shell in Gu Zhao's hand. "What's wrong with this tortoise shell?"

"This turtle shell is a treasure." Gu Zhao said with a smile.

Taoist Master Yihong asked, "Is divination and fortune-telling particularly accurate?"

"No." Gu Zhao shook his head and threw the tortoise shell to Taoist Yansong. "Uncle Master, can you please demonstrate it to Taoist Yihong?"

Taoist Master Yansong took the tortoise shell and continued to answer Taoist Master Yihong, "My Taoist name is Yansong, and I come from Qingcheng Mountain." Taoist Master Yihong's eyes lit up, and he remembered, "That little girl Xiao Ya said she met a high Taoist master in Qingcheng Mountain. I guess that must be Taoist Master Yansong?"

"It's you, the old Taoist." Taoist Master Yansong nodded.

But Taoist Master Yihong was still puzzled, "How come we are colleagues from now on?"

Taoist Master Yansong smiled and said, "Gu Zhao and I will demonstrate the strength of our company to you. Take a look first and then decide whether to join or not."

"What are you looking at..."

"Gu Zhao, use palm thunder!" Taoist Yansong said, and then threw the tortoise shell in his hand. Then Taoist Yihong saw that the tortoise shell actually grew against the wind, and in a breath it turned into a large tortoise shell more than two meters long!
Taoist Master Yihong's eyes widened instantly, "Huh!?"

The next moment, he saw Gu Zhao beside him pinching the Heavenly Thunder Seal with his left hand, pinching the Thunder Seal with his right hand, and then clapping his palms upright.

"Boom!"

Purple light flashed and thunder roared.

A bolt of lightning instantly struck the surface of the turtle shell, exploding into a ball of purple and black light, which then slowly dissipated, revealing the undamaged turtle shell.

Taoist Master Yihong: w(°o°)w
The next moment, the huge turtle shell suddenly shrank again, and then automatically flew back into Taoist Yansong's hands.

"What is this?" Taoist Master Yihong asked in surprise.

"Black tortoise shell." Taoist Master Yansong said.

"Palm thunder." Gu Zhao said.

Taoist Master Yihong, “…”

"How is it?" Taoist Master Yansong came to Taoist Master Yihong and said, "Our company is pretty good, right? I'll give you something...oh..."

"Oh, that's it." Taoist Master Yihong continued.

"Yes, that's right." Taoist Master Yansong said with a smile, "Will you come?"

Taoist Master Yihong looked at Gu Zhao, then at Taoist Master Yansong, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

The strength that Gu Zhao and Taoist Yansong just displayed is simply not a level that normal practitioners can reach. It is no problem to say that they are non-human. It is even more exaggerated than the two talismans that Gu Zhao displayed.

Gu Zhao bowed, "The inheritance of the Lingnan wild Taoist priests, a fellow practitioner of Quanzhen, Gu Zhao."

Taoist Master Yansong bowed, "Qingcheng Mountain Taishang Laojun Pavilion, Longmen inheritance, also practicing Taiyi, Yansong."

Taoist Master Yihong was speechless. "You know, that's not what I'm talking about."

Taoist Master Yansong blew gently, and a ball of flame was blown out. It actually formed a fire bird out of thin air, circled three times, and slowly dissipated.

"As for the rest, of course, I can only tell you if you agree to join." Taoist Master Yansong smiled. "The advantage is that you can practice like us in the future and hopefully become an immortal."

"What are the disadvantages?" Taoist Master Yihong narrowed his eyes and said lightly.

There is no free lunch in the world and pie will not fall from the sky. He has understood this truth a long time ago.

Although the other party was also a Taoist priest, he acted in a mysterious way, and Gu Zhao attacked the Yinggao people in a somewhat unscrupulous manner. Taoist Yihong was ready to sacrifice his life after being rejected.

"The downside is that you will have to start doing justice and exorcising demons, and deal with those evil but extremely powerful demons and monsters. Your life may be in danger." Taoist Master Yansong said indifferently.

"Huh?" Taoist Master Yihong was stunned.

Taoist Master Yansong regained his smile. "We are Taoists. If we want to cultivate and ascend to heaven, we naturally need to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and eliminate evil to accumulate merit. However, the process of eliminating evil is not safe, so you really need to think carefully..."

Taoist Master Yihong's narrowed eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in a broken voice, "I join!"
