Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 128 The Great Luo Palace Gains Another Fighting Force
Master Zhiqing is almost going crazy.

Of course he knew that Master Mingyu was reciting the Golden Light Mantra, but the question was, which Taoist priest could actually produce golden light when reciting the Golden Light Mantra?
Isn't this golden light a glimmer of inspiration that gathers within one's spirit?

Daoist Zhiqing subconsciously followed suit, stepping on the Zhengfa Yu Step, forming the Taiqing Dharma Seal with his hands, circulating his internal energy, and chanting incantations, "Heaven and Earth, Mysterious Ancestor, Root of All Qi. Cultivate for countless eons, and prove my divine powers."

After saying the four sentences, he stopped in his tracks.

A gentle breeze blew by, and the sparrows on the old tree in the yard chirped and flew away, and nothing happened.

Master Zhiqing, "..."

Master Mingyu laughed heartily, pointed at Master Zhiqing, and shook his head, saying, "You're not ready yet."

Master Zhiqing's eyebrows twitched. "I can't do it now, but does that mean I can later?"

Master Mingyu dispelled the golden light emanating from his body and arrived at Gu Zhao's side with full energy. He turned to Master Zhiqing and said, "You don't need to investigate this matter any further. Just focus on cultivating at the Celestial Master's Mansion. I will come back to guide you after I have accumulated enough merit."

Master Zhiqing blinked. Although he didn't quite understand, he could tell that his uncle's current situation was related to Gu Zhao.

Yunyang?

Don't be ridiculous. He knows Yun Yang's background very well. Although the Eight Immortals Palace in Xijing is also a branch of the Quanzhen Longmen Sect, if a disciple of the Longmen Sect can do this, he will jump into the Luxi River and drown himself!
Hearing Master Mingyu's meaningful words, Master Zhiqing was deeply shocked and couldn't help but look at Gu Zhao.

Could it be that... there really are gods in this world?
Gu Zhao smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, which startled Daoist Zhiqing, who repeatedly returned the gesture.

Master Mingyu reminded Master Zhiqing, "Remember, my illness was misdiagnosed. However, since my health is not good, I need to go to Guangzhou to recuperate and rest."

"Yes!" Daoist Zhiqing bowed and accepted the order.

"This matter involves cultivation and other obstacles, so even if it involves Mingchong and Zhixiu, you must not reveal it. Just wait for my follow-up news," Master Mingyu instructed.

Although there's a 99% chance it's not a problem, it's not finalized, so Master Mingchong and Master Zhixiu can't tell them.

"Yes!" Zhiqing's expression hardened, and he bowed again to receive the order.

Master Mingyu smiled and nodded, then immediately said, "Go and book train tickets for me. Book them for Yunyang and young friend Gu as well. We'll have dinner together tonight and set off first thing tomorrow morning!"

"Oh, right," Master Mingyu suddenly remembered and reminded him, "Pack up all the new editions of books in our library; we'll take them with us tomorrow."

……

The next morning, Gu Zhao and Yun Yang, each carrying a suitcase, took the Tianshi Mansion's special car to the high-speed rail station. Then, they took Daoist Mingyu on the high-speed rail to Xingcheng.

"Actually, there are many Taoist temples in Hunan Province, many of which have a long history," said Master Mingyu. "Who knows, there might be some highly skilled people among them."

Yun Yang asked, "For example, the Nanyue Temple?"

Master Mingyu shook his head. "There isn't one inside the Nanyue Temple. It's just a tourist attraction. I heard that Master Zhang Zhishun built the Huangzhong Temple in the mountains. I don't know if there are any real people left after he passed away."

Although Zhang Zhishun belonged to the Quanzhen School, Master Mingyu still respected him greatly, after all, he was a legend in the contemporary Taoist community.

They changed trains in Changsha and continued on their way. Soon they arrived in Guangzhou. The three of them got off the high-speed train, took a taxi back to Gu Zhao's house, and then Gu Zhao took the two of them through time.

……

"Blessings and Immeasurable Heavenly Lord!"

"welcome!"

Daoist Yansong and Daoist Yihong have returned to the Daluo Palace, just in time to welcome the newlyweds.

Upon arriving in this other world, Mingyu Daoist and Yunyang were greatly astonished by the abundant spiritual energy in the surrounding air. At the same time, they began frantically absorbing the spiritual energy to restore their magical power. Yihong Daoist and Yunyang knew each other, and Yunyang knew Mingyu Daoist, acting as a bridge between them. Moreover, Gu Zhao was also there, so the two sides got along very well.

The two also talked about their trip to Sanjue Mountain.

"Huang Yuan deserves credit. He and we blocked both roads to Sanjue Mountain from the front and back, preventing a single monster from escaping," said Daoist Yansong.

Master Yihong said, "We destroyed the monsters on Sanjue Mountain and had Huang Yuan send those who were captured on the mountain home with gifts of gold and silver, saving many lives. It did reduce the evil aura on him, but only to a limited extent."

“It’s easy to do bad deeds, but difficult to do good deeds!” Master Yansong shook his head with a smile.

“That Three Absolutes Mountain is simply a den of demons,” Master Yihong exclaimed. “Within fifty miles, it is deserted and uninhabited, with abandoned villages and skeletons everywhere.”

Master Yansong laughed and said, "The most powerful creature left on Sanjue Mountain is a black bear, but it has only been around for a hundred years. It was killed by Brother Yihong with a single slash. When he learned that a new person had joined, he specially cut off a pair of bear paws and brought them back."

Gu Zhao said helplessly, "Take it again? I remember that Patriarch Biang hasn't finished eating yet, has he?"

Master Yansong shook his head, "They didn't finish eating. Not to mention Ancestor Biang, even the Black Bear King and the White Wolf King didn't finish eating."

Master Yihong continued, "After the other lesser demons and monsters died, their demonic power dissipated, their flesh became fishy and smelly, had no effect, tasted bad, and were difficult to carry. So we only skinned them and brought them back."

Master Mingyu looked at Master Yansong, then at Master Yihong. "Is it really okay for you two old Taoist priests from the Quanzhen School to be discussing eating meat so seriously?"
"May the Heavenly Venerable grant you boundless blessings," Yun Yang chanted, then asked, "Is it delicious?"

Master Yansong shook his head, "The taste is so-so, but eating it can help nourish the bones and blood and increase strength."

Yun Yang's eyes lit up, and Daoist Mingyu immediately asked, "When are we having dinner?"

Master Yihong smiled and said, "The embroiderer and Wang Yue have already gone to cook."

Master Mingyu asked, "Is it the sorcerer who achieved a union with the white fox and the orchid?"

“That’s right.” Daoist Yansong nodded.

Master Mingyu stroked his beard and smiled, while Yunyang rubbed his hands together expectantly, ready to welcome this extraordinary world.

Then Gu Zhao led them out of the secret crossing point of the Daluo Palace and down the mountain back to Cuishan Village.

……

The arrival of two more disciples from the Daluo Palace was no longer surprising to the crowd.

They ate together that evening. Master Mingyu praised the braised bear paw soup, and Yunyang also expressed his admiration for the braised bear paw.

Then Daoist Yansong led them to arrange their bedrooms, while Gu Zhao and Zhuo Qingyan went out for a walk. Enjoying the night breeze, they strolled to the vicinity of the Daluo Palace gate and saw a man dressed in yellow patrolling and investigating at the gate.

"Huang Yuan?"

"Head!"

Upon seeing Gu Zhao and Zhuo Qingyan approach, Lou Jingou and Huang Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.

"Sect Leader, although the temple is not yet completed, craftsmen and villagers have already been burning incense and worshipping the gods here. Although the power of the incense is not much, it would be a pity to let it dissipate!"

"Huh?" Gu Zhao was taken aback. After carefully sensing the surroundings, he did indeed detect some incense energy.

The power of incense is wafting around. Although it can remain for a period of time, if it is not absorbed or stored as soon as possible, it will disappear over time as the mental energy it contains dissipates.
