Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 10 Zhang Jingqing: It’s time to repaint the statue of my ancestor
"Woo!"

The wind howled, and the Taoist priest in a blue robe stood between the two men as if teleporting. He did not make any sound, but the wind became several notches stronger. Then he pointed to the sky with one hand, and an invisible Qi rose up into the sky, settling the dark cloud that Zhang Zhiwei had summoned.

Zuo Ruotong also drove Nisheng and came behind He Songling, and put one hand on his shoulder. The white Qi flowed and merged into He Songling's Nisheng. His originally faded whole body began to be filled with white light again; correspondingly, the Qi gathered in his hands gradually dissipated.

That's right, the two elders still took action. They would not sit idly by and watch their best disciples die inexplicably in a competition. Although the strength of these two boys far exceeded the expectations of their two masters, they were not yet uncontrollable.

"The complete thunder method is still powerful." Zhang Zhiwei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his master, and sat down on the ground with a plop.

Zhang Jingqing had a fierce face: "You know how powerful it is but you don't practice hard. With your condition, how can I pass on the position of Heavenly Master to you? How can you learn the complete Thunder Method?"

Zhang Zhiwei was so tired that he didn't want to say a word. He was breathing heavily, and Zhang Jingqing didn't blame him much. Although he looked fierce now, he was very happy in his heart. He thought that after today's battle, it might not be long before you inherit the complete thunder method.

On the other side, He Songling was more direct. He threw himself to the ground with a "bang", dissipated his Ni Sheng Xuan Gong, and lay on the ground in the shape of a "big" character.

He closed his eyes and said to Zuo Rutong in a voice that sounded like a dream: "Nine Sequences Heart Method? No wonder you, Zuo, left all the disciples behind on the way to the second level without seeing their backs. It turns out that this thing is not just something that can be thrown away after laying a good foundation."

It was not surprising that Zhang Jingqing could easily control Zhang Zhiwei at this stage with thunder magic. After all, half-step thunder magic was not as good as the full version, and Bao Yingge, who was just 20 years old, had not yet reached the peak. But Zuo Rutong was able to calm his Qi easily, which surprised He Songling.

What He Songling wanted to use just now was something that only existed in his imagination. Regardless of whether the attack was successful or not, it would drain all the Qi from his body, which was why his body returned to its original state.

He knew Zuo Ruotong would definitely attack, but he originally intended that Zuo Ruotong's Qi would collide with his fiercely like boiling water, and in the end he was suppressed by Zuo Ruotong because he was slightly inferior. But as soon as his Qi entered his body, he felt like he was soaking in warm spring water when he first met Zuo Ruotong as a child, and the Qi quickly subsided.

When I was a child, I thought it was the skill of the Three-fold Reverse Life. Now, after careful consideration, I found that it was the foundation-building skill of the Sanyi Sect, the Nine-Sequence Heart Skill from which my Taoist name came. After learning the truth, it is easy to understand that the Three-fold Reverse Life is essentially a "skill" rather than a "Tao", which is used for fighting. When practicing the mysterious skill, the Qi in the body is boiling, how can it have the effect of calming down?

Zuo Rutong's Nine Sequences Mental Method had advanced far further than his own. Perhaps he already had the ability to compete with Zuo Rutong at the third level of Reverse Rebirth, but the gap in the Nine Sequences Mental Method was as huge as that between Zuo Rutong and Si Chong.

The firewood was removed from under the cauldron, and the neutral and peaceful Qi from the same source flowed over, calming He Songling's basic Qi, so that the reverse life could not boil. His body stabilized, and the power gathered in his hands naturally dissipated.

"Humph, who told you that you can throw away the Nine Sequences Heart Method after practicing it?" Zuo Ruotong was just like Zhang Jingqing. He was very satisfied with his disciple, but he lectured him with a bad face: "The further the foundation is laid, the longer the road can be built. How can the road be completed one day?"

Hearing the same words from Wu Gensheng more than 20 years later, He Songling looked at Zuo Rutong in surprise. So you know this? He was afraid that Zuo Rutong would die if he couldn't figure it out, so he opened his eyes and looked over, only to find that Zuo Rutong was lecturing him with a fierce look on his face, without a trace of abnormality.

After a second thought, he understood. Just like Wu Gensheng said, it was because he was in this mountain. Zuo Ruotong's practice made him know this truth, but he never doubted the third level of Ni Sheng. There is no end to cultivation, but Ni Sheng has a chance to become an immortal. He can't see the end of Ni Sheng at all, so naturally he subconsciously believes that Ni Sheng has no end.

So He Songling said jokingly: "How would I know? You didn't teach me. You are a good prisoner. As a master, you are hiding something from your disciples, right?"

"I'm hiding something?" Zuo Ruotong almost wanted Zhang Zhiwei to release another thunderbolt to kill this traitor. "There's no need to practice Reverse Life if you can't do it. The foundation of the Nine Sequences Heart Method hasn't been laid yet, so there's no need to think about the future. I want you to maintain Reverse Life with Si Chong Cheng Zhen all the time. Do you listen?"

"I listen to Jimao. I'm not a circus clown. Why should I keep pushing the ball?" He Songling spread his hands and began to pass the buck: "Besides, didn't the uncle and the eldest brother quit after only two months?"

"The third level of Reverse Life is a dynamic practice. They have been maintaining it for a long time and are getting irritated. This is normal. The correct approach at this time is to seek static practice and then consult the Nine Sequences Mental Method. Unfortunately, their aptitude is limited and they were unable to find a way forward from the Nine Sequences Mental Method. You... humph!"

Being able to learn the third level of Reverse Rebirth proves that he has completed learning all the chapters of the Nine Sequences Mental Method. If he wants to move forward, he must rely on his own exploration. No wonder no one except Zuo Rutong can figure out anything. But this life is different. Zuo Rutong has high hopes for He Songling.

"I understand." He Songling has an innate soul and is naturally at the end of the third level of reverse life. He does not need to re-attend the Nine Sequences to improve. But Lao Zuo's words do make sense. The Three One Sect is not only about dynamic exercises. Perhaps he can find a way to improve the last move he just didn't use from the Nine Sequences Mentality.

"It's good that you understand. You have always been arrogant and even I am hard to discipline. I hope you can reflect more after today's defeat..." Before Zuo Rutong finished his words of admonition, he was interrupted by Zhang Jingqing: "Brother Zuo, this is not how you train your disciples. How did my nephew lose? It was clearly Zhang Zhiwei who lost this battle!"

"Hey, Master, you are too kind." He Songling had almost recovered his breath. He stood up and bowed to Zhang Jingqing. He then said to Zhang Zhiwei, "In today's battle, I was the first to fight and use desperate means. Naturally, my nephew lost."

"Brother He, you are too polite. Judging by the actions, not the heart, I was the first to use desperate means. After all, I have to admit defeat in this battle."

Zhang Zhiwei also rolled over upon seeing this and bowed to He Songling: "To be honest, I had never met an opponent before I came down from Longhu Mountain. Today, after fighting with Senior Brother He, I realized that the world is vast. Before, I was just working behind closed doors. I hope to learn more from Senior Brother He in the future."

"Then I, thank you for giving in, ahahahahaha..." Being able to make Brother Bao Ying admit defeat is a unique achievement in this world. He Songling couldn't help but laugh wildly, and even stretched his nose into a long strip, stretching and shrinking it like Pinocchio and sticking it up to the sky.

"Getting carried away!" Zuo Rutong's face darkened again.

"Hey, Brother Zuo, why are you so harsh on me? Besides, your disciple has come a long way and suffered a lot. He still won. You deserve a reward."

Zhang Jingqing was trying to persuade him, changing the subject by asking, "Nephew He, where did you train before? I've always wanted to send this man down the mountain, but I haven't decided where to go."

"Oh, I just went to Echeng a while ago and brought 1.8 million taels of silver to the sect." He Songling smiled reservedly, "I just returned to the mountain gate and didn't even have a sip of water, but my master sent a telegram to the Lu family."

"One million and eight hundred thousand taels of silver!" Even Lu Jin, a son of a wealthy family, opened his mouth in shock, not to mention the two poor Taoist priests opposite. You have to know that the wealth of the richest man in Longhu Mountain is just a small bag of Yuan Datou.

This kid can get 1.8 million taels of silver in one trip. How much has he earned in the nearly 20 years in the mountains? It seems that Zuo Rutong, this old guy, is taking advantage of the situation.

Zhang Jingqing's face became visibly heated. "Brother Zuo, I'll return what you just said to me. How about you give up your position as the traitor to me?"

"Master, you are joking. This traitor can do nothing but irritate people. What do you want him to do?"

"Hey, who said that? The golden statue of my Heavenly Master from Mount Longhu should be repainted." Zhang Jingqing said without any image of a Heavenly Master.

"..." Zuo Rutong was speechless. His old friend was good in every way except that he had the personality of a gangster. Looking at his apprentice today, he was even better than his teacher.

Fortunately, I have a stinky gangster on my side.

"Tianshi, what are you saying? We are two families, and we are close. When the time comes, just release Brother Zhiwei. We will be as close as possible."

As expected, He Songling lived up to Zuo Rutong's expectations and said, "With our skills, we can wipe out the local tyrants, the old and young people of the Qing Dynasty, the dog warlords, and the foreign devils along the way. Isn't their money ours? Then Brother Zhiwei and I will split the money 50-50. Why not? Eh..."

He Songling said, turning his head to look at Lu Jin: "Brother Lao, it seems that your family is a big landlord, right..."

"Wow wow wow, Master, save me!" Lu Jin was immediately burst into tears by He Songling's malicious gaze, and grabbed Zuo Rutong's clothes and hid backwards.

"Shut up." Zuo Rutong comforted the trembling Lu Jin, and then shouted towards the woods: "Brother Lu, the traitor's words are rude, please forgive me!"

"Eh? My dad is here?"
