The Age of Immortal Cultivation: I Have Mountains and Seas to Accompany Me

Chapter 90: Five Thunders and Palm Thunder
No. 24 Tongluo Lane.

Ding Pei got up early in the morning and did boxing in the yard… She was a civilian in the army. After being transferred to G’an, she was only hastily trained in discipline and so on, and then was assigned here as a liaison with a mission. Although… it seemed that it was not as good as when she was in the army, the treatment was completely different, and this was working in Beijing, so her salary had increased.

Originally she thought this job would be very demanding, but unexpectedly, although the landlord had been gone for half a year without any news, she could take time to visit the capital... Oh, by the way, this set of Five Animal Exercises was taught to her by Tong Zhenghong, but she only taught her the tiger exercise and the deer exercise and then left. However, despite this, over the past few months, she has tasted the benefits of this set of boxing - her physical fitness has improved.

Of course, this is also related to the air in the yard... She didn't pay much attention to it at first, but after a long time she found that the courtyard wall seemed to separate the yard from the outside. The most comfortable temperature here is maintained and is not affected by the external environment at all. Moreover, the flowers and plants here are not only evergreen, but also grow better than those outside. Even the air is fresher than the air outside.

After finishing half of the Five Animal Exercises, Ding Pei had just finished her move when a burst of applause suddenly rang out. Ding Pei quickly turned around, clasped her hands together to protect herself, and assumed a fighting stance.

"Master Tong, when did you come back?" Ding Pei put away her airs a little embarrassedly.

"Just arrived this morning."

Tong Zhenghong smiled and said, "You have not slacked off in the past six months. You are very good at boxing. I may have to come back for a while, so I can teach you the other three moves."

"Thank you, Taoist Master Tong!"

Ding Xie was overjoyed... She had originally wanted to take Tong Zhenghong as her teacher, but unfortunately Tong Zhenghong did not agree.

What Tong Zhenghong taught Ding Pei was the ancient Five Animal Exercises, which is said to be a kind of boxing created by Hua Tuo in order to ensure safety when collecting herbs in the mountains. It has practical use and is completely different from the fitness gymnastics of later generations.

Tong Zhenghong nodded and went back to the alchemy room. As he walked, he asked people to send over the information sent by G An. Ding Pei quickly responded and ran back to the house.

As soon as Tong Zhenghong entered the room, Ding Pei brought the file to him: "Master Tong, I'm going to buy breakfast. Do you want me to bring some for you?"

"Then I'll trouble Comrade Ding. Four pounds of fried dough sticks and a portion of soy milk." Tong Zhenghong had not yet reached the time for fasting. He came back on a military plane and did not have breakfast.

"Okay." Ding Pei ran out immediately, fearing that she would disturb Tong Zhenghong.

Tong Zhenghong was commissioned by G An to handle some suspected supernatural cases.

Since the Honghuang Secret Realm, although it did not get out of the "Dharma Ending Age" all at once, the environment has become better and the spiritual energy has slowly recovered. Some extremely yin places or special environments have caused ghosts to appear. Some of them are ignorant and just cause trouble to some people, but some are evil spirits and have already killed people, causing panic within a certain range. Fortunately, G An acted quickly and minimized the impact.

Tong Zhenghong did not look through the file immediately. Instead, he waited for Ding Pei to bring him breakfast. He ate his breakfast slowly before opening the file.

The person involved was named Xiang Shen. He originally worked in Tianjin. Because his unit had purchased a new piece of equipment, he and several colleagues went to Beijing for training. The training unit rented a courtyard house for them as a temporary dormitory.

Xiang Shen had only been staying there for four days. The young man, who was once full of energy and vigor, had become listless due to nightmares. He seemed like a different person, but he couldn't tell what the dream was about, only that it was very horrible.

Later, his colleagues found it strange and began to observe him while he was sleeping.

When they saw this, everyone was scared to death - they found that when Xiang Shen was asleep, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared. Xiang Shen's figure gradually turned into a woman, and she seemed to be struggling desperately and resisting someone, until Xiang Shen woke up with sweat all over his head.

The matter was finally taken over by the Sixth Division of the G Security Bureau. Because they had handled cases like ghosts before, they also suspected that it was a case of this kind. However, since the relevant personnel were handling such cases in other places, they could only turn to Tong Zhenghong for help, because Tong Zhenghong had also worked in the division before.

The files also include the handling of some other supernatural incidents, and these incidents were handled by some newcomers... newcomers to the Sixth Department, some of whom were from Longhu Mountain.

He had also been away from work for a long time, and he had not expected to deal with the issue of hiring people... Ding Pei happened to pass by the house, and he greeted her, "Comrade Ding!"

Ding Pei turned around and pushed the door open: "Master Tong, what's the matter?"

"Sit down." Tong Zhenghong pointed at the Putian in front of him.

Ding Pei sat down as she was told and looked at Tong Zhenghong.

"Comrade Ding, I haven't been back to the capital for a long time. I wonder if the department has hired a new... consultant."

Tong Zhenghong looked at Ding Pei: "If it involves discipline, you don't have to say it."

"It's okay. This is what Director Wu agreed to tell you."

Ding Pei probably didn't expect to be asked this question. "Since the emergence of the Great Desolation Secret Realm, it seems that...some changes have occurred. Some ancient martial arts families and some secrets in Longhu Mountain and other places have begun to appear. They seem to have been in contact with the government. Through some unknown channels, they joined the Sixth Bureau, either directly or as consultants. However, we promised to keep your master and apprentice information confidential to a certain extent and keep it low-key."

Tong Zhenghong nodded slightly, and he took out a folded talisman paper: "Comrade Ding, this is a talisman to ward off evil spirits. Wear it on your body, and evil spirits will not be able to get close to you."

"Thank you!" Ding Pei was overjoyed. She took the talisman with both hands and put it in her pocket carefully.

Tong Zhenghong asked Ding Pei to contact and send someone to deal with the matter. He wanted to deal with the matter as soon as possible so that he could return to Huxin Mountain earlier.

……

Ye Muxue felt the burning sensation of thunder and fire again. Although she had had four successful experiences, she still felt something was wrong!

Her cultivation was still weak. Although a Qi Refining cultivator could practice thunder magic, her meridians and body could not withstand the burning of thunder and fire... At this moment, Ye Muxue had a premonition that under the impact of such terrifying and powerful thunder and fire, she might turn into ashes in the next moment!

No, she was reborn to make up for the regrets of her previous life and to pursue higher goals... She could stop, but her body might not be able to withstand the consequences of the backlash of her skills. Maybe she wouldn't die, but she might not be able to keep her practice after rebirth, and it would also cause Shanhai to cry poor.

At this moment, she was practicing the last thunder of the Five Thunders Method...Yi Mu Divine Thunder!
The violent green lightning and fire rushed through her meridians as if to tear her body apart. At this moment, her mouth and nose began to bleed because her internal organs could not withstand the impact of this force... Ye Muxue tried her best to remain rational. Suddenly, a formula appeared in her mind: "East is Yi wood, south is Bing fire, west is Geng metal, north is Gui water, center is Shu earth, the five thunders perform magic, and gods and ghosts are afraid!"

She clenched her right fist and struck forward quickly, and at the same time her palm suddenly opened. A blinding flash of lightning struck the opposite wall like a flying dragon, and at the same time there was a loud "boom" of thunder.

This is the method of practicing Palm Thunder, and it was actually successfully practiced under such circumstances.

He successfully channeled out the thunder and fire qi, not only did he cultivate into palm thunder, but the Five Thunders Method was finally completed, and he no longer had to worry about the backlash of the technique.

This palm strike almost destroyed the quiet room. When Ye Muxue looked up, there was not even a black spot on the snow-white wall. She couldn't help but fall into deep self-doubt... Was it because she didn't practice the sword well enough or what?
With a flash, Ye Muxue left the quiet room and immediately used the earth escape technique to reach the other side of the lake...Ashilei and others below were harvesting spiritual rice. From a distance, they could see the rice grains, which were plump and translucent. They were at least second-grade spiritual rice.

Ye Muxue did not disturb them, but flew directly into the jungle... A huge rock stood in front of her.

Boom!

A dazzling bolt of lightning struck the boulder.

Click...

The stone that was intact just now suddenly broke into pieces and turned into a pile of rubble.

Ye Muxue recited the spell and made the corresponding seals with her hands... In an instant, dark clouds gathered in the sky, five-colored lightning flashed between heaven and earth, the thunder sounded like thunderbolt, and a long sword formed in the air...

"cut!"

The long sword turned into a lightning rainbow and instantly slashed in the direction Ye Muxue pointed... Boom! A large pit several meters deep appeared on the ground!

hiss~
Ye Muxue sucked in a breath of cold air. The true energy in her body was not enough to perform the Five Thunders Method for the second time, let alone condense the Five Thunders Sword!

……

"At first, it was just a loss of eyesight after a nightmare, nothing specific."

"But later on, I felt like I was struggling desperately, and I felt like I was suffocating. There was also a woman's voice shouting in my ear, but I couldn't hear clearly what she was shouting."

"There were also a few times when I woke up from a nightmare in the middle of the night and suddenly felt like there was something behind the curtains. It was like... there was a pair of eyes staring at me outside the window. But when I got up and went to check, there was nothing."

Xiang Shen's voice was very low, creating an eerie and cold atmosphere.

"Comrade Xiang, can I ask you a question?"

"how?"

"I feel that...even though you seem a little depressed, you don't seem to be afraid of these things. Instead, you seem to be quite interested in them."

Xiang Shen rubbed his dark circles: "My grandfather was a Feng Shui master in his early years. He told me many ghost stories. Actually, I am not afraid of ghosts, really!"

The G security officer who came with Tong Zhenghong sneered: "You are not afraid of ghosts, but your body is very honest. If you continue to be weak, you may really compete with ghosts."

Of course, it was impossible for Tong Zhenghong to directly enter Xiang Shen’s rented house at the beginning, as that would not comply with safety regulations.

After talking with Xiang Shen, Tong Zhenghong frowned: "Comrade Xiang, this may be very troublesome."

"So there really are ghosts?"

Xiang Shen suddenly panicked and asked.

Tong Zhenghong smiled slightly: "What you need is the police, not the Taoist priests."

"What do you mean?"

Xiang Shen was puzzled, and Assistant G'an beside him also looked at him.

Half an hour later, the three and several police officers arrived at the courtyard where Xiang Shen lived... After entering the yard, Tong Zhenghong followed Xiang Shen inside and outside the house and checked it out. Then he pointed to a peach tree in the yard facing Xiang Shen's room and said, "Dig down in front of the tree."

Xiang Shen went to borrow tools while three police officers went to check the terrain. The G security officer asked in a low voice: "Master, is there really a ghost here?"

"If you believe it, it will work. If you don't believe it, it won't work."

Tong Zhenghong looked around the yard and said, "This young man has saved his life. The ghost is still conscious and only remembers the last thing that happened before his death. If it sucks the young man dry and his spiritual wisdom is awakened, then it will be really difficult to cure."

At this time, Xiang Shen came back with two shovels. Looking at the boy's body... he didn't look like someone who could do such physical work, so the three policemen had to do it themselves.

During this time, a crowd of onlookers had gathered at the gate of the yard to watch the excitement. Some even tried to enter the yard to see more clearly, but were persuaded to leave by the police.

After digging about two feet, the two police officers in charge of digging changed their expressions and started digging in both directions. After a while, a somewhat decayed female corpse was exposed.

"Master Tong, can we destroy the ghost after digging it out?" The G security officer asked in a low voice.

"That won't work. The body has to be burned cleanly, and then it will leave because it has nowhere to go."

"What does leaving... mean?"

"You can understand it as dissipation, or you can understand it as reincarnation."

Because he was personally involved, Tong Zhenghong followed the progress of the case, and it was easily solved - it was the previous tenant, the woman was a colleague of his, and she was suffocated to death while struggling because of that kind of thing. He didn't dare to transport the body out, so he buried it on the spot, then quit the lease and moved to another place. After the public security organs found clues about him, he confessed everything after a few interrogations.

The vengeful spirit in this case did not cause any serious consequences, so it was easily resolved. However, Tong Zhenghong was unable to return and was stranded in the capital.

"Master Tong, is this case over?" Ding Pei seemed to be particularly concerned about this case.

"There's a story beyond the case,"

Because she had learned martial arts from him, Tong Zhenghong was particularly tolerant of this half-learned disciple. "During the investigation, I originally wanted to imprison the vengeful spirit in my body, but the police officer swore in front of the corpse that he must investigate the case thoroughly. During the investigation, the vengeful spirit was also very quiet. After the case was solved and the result was 'told' in front of the corpse, the air seemed to become fresher, and everyone believed that she had truly left."

……

Two days later, one evening, Ding Pei, dressed in casual clothes, walked into a restaurant. A young man in military uniform and handsome in appearance was sitting at a seat by the window. When he saw her come in, he quickly called out, "Ding Pei!"

Ding Pei walked over quickly, "Chaoying, I'm late."

"I came too early... I really couldn't stay any longer."

Young soldier Pu Chaoying waited for Ding Pei to sit down, and then he sat down too, with a worried look on his face: "Can I know the answer?"

Ding Pei nodded: "For disciplinary reasons, I shouldn't have told you, but... I reported your situation to my superiors, and after getting permission, I told you the actual situation of the case..."

After a while of whispering, Ding Pei raised her voice: "Lin Ying fought desperately to preserve her dignity, and she also avenged herself. She left peacefully in the end."

Pu Chaoying had been lowering his head while listening. He raised his head and said, "Although I am a materialist, I believe in the authenticity of the case you are talking about. Is this the Sixth Division of the G-Securities Bureau? Can I join?"

Ding Pei nodded and said, "When I was allowed to reveal this case to you, the transfer order had already been issued."
