Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 267: Laoshan Taoism: Riding on the Clouds

"Oh, this, this is not good."

He Songling felt comfortable taking advantage of others, but he felt a little embarrassed towards the Taoists in Laoshan.

Even a shameless person like him would feel embarrassed sometimes, let alone an honest child like Tian Jinzhong, who desperately refused and kept wanting to leave.

"Don't go, both of you. Listen to me."

The headmaster of Taiqing Palace had a calm expression on his face. He turned to look at Cheng Zizhen first and said, "Xiaocheng, your cultivation level has actually surpassed my master's, but your strength has always been below my master's. It is because of the headmaster's methods that you have never been able to learn from him."

This is true, and this is exactly one of the methods used by all generations of sects to ensure the authority of the head. Throughout history, there have not been many people like Zhang Zhiwei who can surpass the head of the sect with only incomplete skills and their own talents.

Of course, this is only limited to large sects with complete heritage and strong strength. Those small sects, such as Qingzhuyuan, don’t have much strength in total, so they have nothing to hide.

Instead, they hope that the disciples are as strong as possible, even if they surpass the sect leader, that is even better. The sect leader's authority is gone, and a talented disciple can bring the sect to a higher level, this is the truth.

"Master, this is against the sect's rules..." Cheng Zizheng subconsciously wanted to refuse.

"Nonsense, the sect is almost gone, why bother with the sect rules? I am the headmaster and you are the headmaster? Listen to me."

The headmaster of Taiqing Palace waved his hand and interrupted Cheng Zizhen's words: "The Qing Dynasty has fallen, this kind of bullshit rule should have been thrown into the trash can long ago."

"Hey, did you hear that? I'm calling on you." He Songling secretly poked Tian Jinzhong and said in a low voice.

"Get out!" Tian Jinzhong's face turned pale.

Indeed, there were not many people in their Tianshi Mansion who knew thunder magic. In this era, one had to be given the surname Zhang before learning thunder magic. Secondly, if one did not inherit the position of Tianshi, one could not learn the complete thunder magic.

But you have to know that the complete thunder method is not in the Tianshi degree, and it can be passed down at will. Compared with the head of the Taiqing Palace in front of him, the Tianshi Mansion does seem stingy and old-fashioned.

"What a pity, Zhang Zhiwei and Zhang Huaiyi are not here." He Songling sighed. These words would be more hurtful if they were said to the two Zhangs face to face.

This rule of the Tianshi Mansion was broken by Zhang Zhiwei himself when he became the Tianshi after the founding of the People's Republic of China; Zhang Huaiyi was even more ruthless, and he secretly passed it on to his grandson. It is possible that he also passed on this method to his son. He simply treated the Thunder Method as his own.

Hey.

How interesting.

He Songling has already decided that the next time he sees Zhang Zhiwei or Zhang Huaiyi, he will tell them about this and urge them to pass on the thunder technique to him.

"Please be kind to me, Brother He. I really beg you." Tian Jinzhong sighed helplessly. This kind of person with a dirty heart and a rotten lung, who cannot be defeated by others, is really a disaster.

"Master Cui, let's go out first?" Tian Jinzhong didn't want to pay attention to He Songling, so he said to the head of Taiqing Palace.

"No need. Mr. He said that we are discussing the Dharma, so naturally we should replace the Dao with the Dao and replace the law with the law. This is fair!" The head of Taiqing Palace is also a cunning old man.

After he said this, even if Huagai Zhenren, the founder of Taiqing Palace, was resurrected, he would not be able to say anything. Of course, if someone really dared to say anything, Cui Zhenren would ask that person to try the "Taoism" given to him by He Songling.

"Your 'Taoism' belongs to Senior Brother He, and has nothing to do with me. Besides, I am a follower of the Zhengyi Taoism, so this..." Tian Jinzhong felt a little embarrassed.

If he said that he was embarrassed to learn other people's secret Taoist methods, it would be reasonable; but if he said that he was a disciple of the Tianshi Mansion, the leader of the Zhengyi Sect, and did not learn the Quanzhen Taoist methods, it would be a bit of a provocation. But according to his personality, he really had to say it.

"Mr. Tian, ​​please don't leave either." The headmaster of Taiqing Palace chuckled and said:
"My Laoshan Taoist lineage is about to be cut off, and Xiaocheng may not be able to survive in the future. One more person to learn from me means one more hope. If there is really... if there is a good seedling in the future, I hope Mr. Tian will teach me, and it will also be regarded as leaving a descendant for my Taiqing Palace lineage."

"Ah, this..." Tian Jinzhong wanted to refuse, but when he saw the Taiqing Palace's master sneer as if he didn't care about life and death, or even the inheritance of Taoism, he couldn't bring himself to say no.

He could only bow his head and say, "I am a dull person, far inferior to Senior Brother He. I am afraid that I have not learned correctly and failed to live up to his expectations. Otherwise, I will write it down and pass it on to my Senior Brother Zhiwei later."

"Do you really think that my Taiqing Palace's Taoism is a garbage dump?" The head of Taiqing Palace pretended to be angry and said, "I actually wanted to ask Zhang Zhiwei for help at that time, but his methods are all righteous and mysterious, and his killing method is too inefficient.

According to Xiaocheng's skills, even if he let go, he might not be able to defeat him for many rounds. But he was able to escape unscathed from his hands. I knew that in order to fight the Japanese, I still had to find Mr. He, the arms dealer.

Since I don't have anything to ask of him, there's no reason to pass on my skills to him. You've received the inheritance, but you still want to reveal it to others?"

"I am so terrified!" Tian Jinzhong's face suddenly turned awkward, and he kept apologizing: "Please forgive me, Master. I never meant to offend you..."

"Okay, I'm just kidding. Whether it's Quanzhen, Zhengyi, or the old Taiyi and Zhenda Dao, they are all from the same sect. When we discuss the Dao, how can we not learn about Daoism from each other? It's just that I learn a little more from you."

The headmaster of Taiqing Palace then smiled and said, "Zhang Zhiwei is extremely talented. It is an honor for Taiqing Palace that he can learn the Taoist methods of our Taiqing Palace. It's just that I didn't ask him much last time, and I was afraid he would refuse. Now you want to teach him, that's fine. As I said, the Taoist tradition is about to be lost, so why bother about these external transmissions?"

"Master, rest assured. I will keep silent to no one except Senior Brother Zhang." Although the head of Taiqing Palace said this, Tian Jinzhong's attitude remained firm.

"It's up to you." The headmaster of Taiqing Palace didn't care. He originally wanted to pass it on to Cheng Zizhen and He Songling, and Tian Jinzhong was just a byproduct. It didn't matter what he did.

He sat cross-legged on a cushion and began to teach the Dharma.

"This is the essence of my Taiqing Palace's Taoism. There are also some Taoist methods from other temples in Laoshan. I have also passed them on from time to time."

By the time the teaching was finished, it had already gone from nightfall to dawn. After the Taiqing Palace master had finished teaching the secrets, he stood up and said while looking at the purple light in the sky.

"Xiaocheng, your talent is even better than mine. Even if there is war, with your talent, you should be able to master everything within three years. Live well, all the inheritance of our Laoshan lineage is waiting for you to pass it on."

"Disciple will follow Master's teachings." Cheng Zizheng knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to his master.

"Mr. He, Mr. Tian, ​​the two of you..."

"It's hard for me to just remember it." Tian Jinzhong shook his head. Taiqing Palace also has a long tradition. When Huagai Zhenren became a Taoist, Ziyang Zhenren Zhang Boduan, who passed down the Eight Wonders to Wu Gensheng and his eight brothers, was still wearing open-crotch pants.

His family's Taoism is profound and numerous, not to mention other Taoist methods of the Laoshan lineage. To be honest, with Tian Jinzhong's qualifications, if he hadn't been born in the Zhengyi Xuanmen and practiced Taoism for decades, he might not even be able to remember all of them.

"Haha, what do you think? My Laoshan Taoism still has some merits, right?" The headmaster of Taiqing Palace was very happy, which was a small counterattack against Tianshi Mansion. Then he turned to look at He Songling: "Mr. He..."

As soon as he said this, he froze in the distance.

He Songling was seen standing in mid-air, standing on auspicious clouds.
