Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

After Tang Wenlong in Chapter 814, Wang Ye was also made to cry by Zhang Chulan.
"I know nothing about Tai Chi."

Zhang Chulan cursed inwardly.

Since Song Mian came along, he has made a name for himself in the world of supernatural beings by using the true meaning of Tai Chi that he comprehended in the Nine Turns Cave. Tai Chi is no longer what it used to be.

There are many styles and schools of Tai Chi. In the world of Chinese martial arts, the five famous schools of Chen, Yang, Sun, Wu, and Wu are no less than Wudang Tai Chi. In fact, in the early years of the Republic of China, Wudang Tai Chi was even superior to Wudang Tai Chi, which was dedicated to studying Qimen Dunjia.

Back then, the masters of Tai Chi thought, "What is Wudang? They lost their own traditions, and we have to find them piece by piece and compile them into books. If it weren't for our need for a prestigious and orthodox Tai Chi tradition, it's hard to say whether Wudang would even have Tai Chi today."

But ever since Song Mian used Zhang Sanfeng's Tai Chi True Meaning to defeat the entire circle of extraordinary people, such voices have disappeared. At the same time, there are two distinctions regarding Tai Chi: "understanding" and "not understanding".

"Understanding" Tai Chi is not just about being able to fight; it also requires a true understanding of the concept of "Tai Chi" and a profound comprehension of the "Tao" behind it. Only then can "intention" exist in the movements of fists, feet, swords, and knives.

After Song Mian settled down, he followed He Songling's example and set a "standard" for the entire world of supernatural beings. He wasn't so petty; he stipulated that only those who had learned his techniques could be called "understanding" Tai Chi, and those who could clearly distinguish the principles of Yin and Yang and incorporate them into their fists were considered to "understand" Tai Chi.

Not only that, Song Mian also took the initiative to communicate and share some of his insights into Tai Chi.

Having associated with He Songling, he possessed a broad perspective. He knew that trying to monopolize the entire operation was not a safe bet, and that attempting a monopoly would only invite public wrath. He himself was one of the ten members of the second reunion of the Thirty-Six Thieves, barely managing to thwart the attacks. He would not do anything that would make him a target of public criticism again.

Conversely, by making the plate bigger, even if the individual portions decrease, the absolute amount still increases. In particular, no matter what, his own branch remains the most formidable among those who practice Tai Chi.

Therefore, when Wang Ye saw that Zhang Chulan had broken his Yin-Yang Grinding Disc, he did not think that Zhang Chulan had stolen their Wudang's secret technique, but rather that Zhang Chulan had had another extraordinary encounter and was hiding it very well.

However, Wang Ye remained confident because nowadays, among all those who practice Tai Chi, no one "understands" it better than the disciples of Wudang.

But Zhang Chulan was already cursing in his heart.

He knows nothing about Tai Chi.

He had been learning the orthodox martial arts of the Celestial Master's Mansion of Longhu Mountain since elementary school, along with some combat skills he had learned from Feng Baobao in the past few months, and the "Old Farmer's Kung Fu" that had inexplicably begun to take root and grow in his body before he left.

He didn't do any of this on his own initiative.

This feeling was very familiar; it was the same feeling Ling Songhe had when he controlled his body.

But wouldn't you only get it if you tore up the student ID he gave you? When did I get controlled again?
"Just kidding, you can control it without a student ID." He Songling lay on the grass outside the field and chuckled strangely.

Having already become an immortal, he can do many incredible things, such as intercepting a segment of Zhang Chulan's Qi and controlling Zhang Chulan's actions through that Qi.

He could even directly grasp Zhang Chulan's destiny by calculating his luck, and then use that destiny to control Zhang Chulan.

There's absolutely no need for any form of contact; he can control things even if he's never seen them before. That's what a god is.

At the same time, Zhang Chulan sneered: "Wang Ye, you should have just obediently let us bury you last night. Then you could have said that you fell for my trap and that the victory was unfair, not a fault of the battle. But you insisted on losing face in front of everyone, so don't blame me."

Zhang Chulan swore that he really wanted to disfigure his face. Even if he was shameless, he felt ashamed to say such stupid villainous things.

It has to be like my first time, I need to give a speech like a protagonist!
Unfortunately, the situation was now completely out of his control. No sooner had Zhang Chulan finished speaking than Wang Ye, seemingly struck by a sudden illness, appeared. His eyes rolled back, white foam appeared at his mouth, and his hands and feet began to tremble and flare uncontrollably.

"What is this thing?" Tian Jinzhong looked at Zhang Zhiwei in surprise: "Does our Celestial Master's Mansion have this kind of skill?"

"What a load of rubbish. You've even learned thunder magic. What kind of kung fu from our Celestial Master's Mansion haven't you seen?" Zhang Zhiwei also felt strange. Something was wrong with this situation. What kind of evil kung fu had this big-eared rat Zhang Huaiyi learned outside?

"Please, old immortal, possess me!" Zhang Chulan suddenly uttered this sentence in a garbled manner, which made Wang Ye laugh.

Among the methods of extraordinary individuals, there are indeed skills that can invoke the possession of certain "deities." Orthodox methods include Taoist spirit writing, while unorthodox methods include the shamanic mask of Xia Liuqing of the Quanxing sect. If the scope is broadened, the methods of shamanic practices and those of the Liangshan shamans can also be considered as skills for invoking divine possession.

The problem is that it's not about inviting real deities. Spirit mediums make a pact with animals that have cultivated themselves to possess their spirits. God masks and spirit writing are actually a collection of people's beliefs, which, to put it bluntly, is about mobilizing spiritual power.

The methods of Liangshan shamans are quite unique. They first control suitable spirits, and then make them manifest their power to harvest the faith of people in certain areas. To put it simply, divine masks and spirit writing are like KOLs (Key Opinion Leaders), while the "gods" created by Liangshan using spirits are like KOCs (Key Opinion Leaders).

One has a large following and uses its sheer number to wield power; the other operates in a more niche field and is a key opinion leader, with only a small number of followers, but once they become believers, their faith is extremely strong, even to the point of sacrificing young boys and girls, or even their own lives.

A typical Liangshan shaman is the sorceress who was thrown down in the story of Ximen Bao governing Ye.

In any case, he's not a real deity. To inspire faith, you need a specific name and deeds, like Zhang Chulan, who keeps shouting that he's possessed by a deity—who knows which one he's talking about? Aside from a few psychopaths who burn incense at every temple they see, who would pay attention to someone like him?
Do you really think there are gods in this world?

"Bore!"

Before Wang Ye could finish laughing, Zhang Chulan appeared in front of him in an instant, moving at a speed many times faster than before, and punched him in the nose.

"Eh..."

Wang Ye suffered the same fate as Tang Wenlong, being beaten to tears by Zhang Chulan.

There was no way around it; He Songling was just that kind of bad guy. Although his medical and physiological knowledge was shallow, he had been Wang Zizhong's teacher after all, so he had some knowledge to begin with. Under his control, Zhang Chulan's attacks were all directed at glands or nerve centers, which were natural physiological reactions that were completely uncontrollable.
