Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 126 Another Gift of the Thunder Seed
After a moment, the light dissipated.

Master Mingyu felt the warmth in his body gradually cool down, but he felt much more relaxed.

However, he was still immersed in the talisman technique that Gu Zhao had just used. His old eyes were not blurry at all. On the contrary, he was surprised and curious, as if he had suddenly seen a new toy.

Master Mingyu is a senior of the Celestial Master's Mansion. In his youth, he even fought against a sorcerer, so he is definitely not an ignorant person.

Even so, Master Mingyu was still stunned.

You should know that their so-called magical battles in the past, although they used various methods, were essentially just using the true qi of the Taoist sect to suppress the evil spirits. At most, they would play some tricks such as taking advantage of weaknesses and using magic tools that could store spiritual energy and suppress evil energy. How could they achieve the fantastical effect we see now?

Gu Zhao's performance of the spell just now was just like a movie scene, a scene of spellcasting imagined by Taoists. If Master Mingyu hadn't seen it with his own eyes and experienced it firsthand, he would definitely have thought it was fake.

Moreover, this talisman...

"The Tongtian Baoguang Talisman?" Master Mingyu immediately revealed the origin of the talisman. "I remember it comes from the Shangqing Tianxin Zhengfa. Your incantation is different from the one written in the Daoist canon."

“Exactly.” Gu Zhao nodded, and emphasized, “There are no methods for circulating qi in the Daoist Canon either, and the content is incomplete, just like the Vajra Mysterious Record.”

Master Mingyu knew this, of course, but he still asked incredulously, "How did you draw this talisman?"

Gu Zhao raised his right hand, held a brush in the air, and drew a talisman in mid-air. "It's about following the direction of the talisman, circulating your energy, transferring the magic and spirit, and then locking in the energy to activate it when needed."

Master Mingyu: ? ? ?
Yun Yang, who had already witnessed Gu Zhao's ability to use talismans, was not surprised, but was still shocked. "Your Heavenly Treasure Light Talisman can cure cancer?"

"The main function of my Heavenly Treasure Light Talisman is actually to expel curses and evil spirits and add blessings and spiritual energy during battles," Gu Zhao explained. "It's similar to a healing buff in a game."

"So, is it for treating an illness or just a side effect?" Yun Yang's eyes widened.

Gu Zhao nodded. "The rest of those treatments for malaria, scorpions, spiders, centipedes, plagues, etc., are all useless. Even the spell that cures all diseases by cursing jujubes only regulates the five internal organs and balances yin and yang. It can't cure cancer."

Only then did Master Mingyu shift his attention from the magic to his own body. "So this talisman cured my illness?"

Gu Zhao stroked his chin. "I'm not entirely sure either, but judging from Bao Guang's description, your health seems to be fine. We can wait for Master Zhiqing to come over and have him take you for another check-up to see if there was a misdiagnosis before."

Yun Yang was speechless, "Misdiagnosis..."

However, both of them understood Gu Zhao's meaning: he didn't want outsiders to know about his abilities.

Master Mingyu understood, and couldn't help but shake his head with a smile, "You shouldn't have cured me, otherwise how could I have gone to Guangzhou to recuperate?"

Gu Zhao also smiled and said, "The weather in Guangzhou is nice, perfect for recuperating."

Master Mingyu laughed heartily and nodded repeatedly, “Alright, although I don’t know what you want me to do in Yangcheng, I’ll entrust this hundred or two hundred jin to you.”

Master Mingyu could sense that the spiritual energy within this Heavenly Treasure Light Talisman was pure and refined, indicating that the person who drew the talisman was many times more powerful than himself.

If this was drawn by Gu Zhao, it means that he has no power to fight back against Gu Zhao, so he does not believe Gu Zhao's request for help in exorcising demons.

If even Gu Zhao can't subdue a demon, wouldn't it be like offering yourself up as food if you went to fight it?
But Master Mingyu also trusted Gu Zhao. In modern society, to be able to calm down and cultivate such a body of Taoist Qi, and to heal himself without saying a word, is simply a high-level Taoist master of our time.

Therefore, Master Mingyu was 100% certain that Gu Zhao would never intentionally harm him.

"More than ten years ago, I went to Hong Kong and presided over the ordination ceremony held by the Zhengyi sect there," Master Mingyu said with a smile. "If you have time when you go to Guangzhou this time, you can take a look around." Yun Yang shook his head and said, "Hong Kong is just so-so now. It might have felt quite prosperous more than ten years ago, but now it's about the same as our big cities. The old streets and alleys aren't anything special."

At this point, Yun Yang asked Gu Zhao, "You told me before that you wanted me to go to Guangzhou. What exactly happened in Guangzhou?"

Gu Zhao had previously asked him to go to Guangzhou with him, and now, after curing Master Mingyu's illness, he has also invited him to Guangzhou. Moreover, according to him, Master Yihong is also in Guangzhou now.

"Has some great demon appeared in Guangzhou?" Yun Yang looked at Gu Zhao with a mixture of excitement and fear in his eyes. "Could it be that Chi You has been resurrected?"

Gu Zhao glanced at Yun Yang and said, "If Chi You were to be resurrected, he could kill us all with a single slap!"

"What is that?" Yun Yang asked.

“It’s a vengeful ghost that’s been around for several hundred years,” Gu Zhao sighed. “It can absorb incense offerings from the human world and can fly and disappear into the earth.”

Yun Yang and Daoist Mingyu both gasped.

Unlike Daoist Yansong, who didn't believe it at all at the time, Daoist Yunyang and Daoist Mingyu had seen Gu Zhao use talismans and knew that he wouldn't speak carelessly.

only……

How could there be a vengeful ghost in China that's been around for hundreds of years? What kind of novel plot is this? Is there some kind of supernatural cultivation world operating in the shadows?

"From Siam?" Master Mingyu frowned and asked cautiously, "They've reached our country?"

Although Master Mingyu had never seen a ghost, there were records in ancient books that he was also extraordinary. Now that he had seen Gu Zhao's talisman technique, he was able to accept it very quickly.

The reason why these things don't exist in China is because of the sound legal system, peace and stability, and the fact that the ruling class's reach extends directly to the grassroots level, leaving no room for them to exist.

But the situation abroad is chaotic, almost like a breeding ground for evil spirits. It wouldn't be surprising if such a legendary thing actually appeared... right?

"No no!"

Hearing Master Mingyu's doubts, Gu Zhao waved his hands repeatedly, "There is no danger here, so of course we won't force you, after all, there are dangers on this trip as well."

“Go ahead! I’ll go! It’s not a problem at all!” Yun Yang’s eyes shone brightly.

Having witnessed the Sakura people's mage in the port city, Yunyang Qinren's warlike bloodline had already been activated. Now, upon learning of an even more powerful being, he felt his adrenaline surging wildly, and the Daoist Qi within his body began to circulate autonomously.

Elder Mingyu, though old, remained steadfast. "I'll call Mingchong and Zhixiu back."

“Not for now, we don’t have enough slots.” Gu Zhao shook his head. “You go ahead first, and we’ll call them when we need them.”

Master Mingyu was somewhat puzzled, but then seemed to have figured something out and said to Gu Zhao again, "You don't need to have any concerns. In fact, leaving behind a lineage of Daoist teachings is enough."

Gu Zhao couldn't help but grin; these old Taoist priests were all ruthless!
“Yunyang and I are not as good as you. If the opponent is very powerful, we still need more people,” Master Mingyu advised.

Gu Zhao smiled slightly, "That's what I meant when I said there weren't enough spots."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Zhao's consciousness stirred slightly, and two lightning seeds suddenly flew out and entered the space between Yun Yang and Daoist Ming Yu's eyebrows.
