Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 194 Daoist Mingyu Breaks Through Realm with a Single Thought

"Excellent, excellent, truly excellent!"

Master Yansong looked around the courtyard, which was not remote but quiet. "I didn't expect there to be a place like this in Guangzhou."

Master Yihong shook his head and said to Gu Zhao, "This used to be a small Taoist temple, but it was later abandoned after the Taoist Association was reorganized."

Recently, with the promotion of traditional Chinese culture and the surge in Taoist practice, they originally planned to renovate and build a small Taoist temple. However, I applied for and it was approved to be used as a Taoist research center. My senior brother Mingyu also helped.

Master Mingyu smiled and said, "The fact that Baiyun Temple and the Celestial Master's Mansion are studying Taoism together is a major event in the history of Taoism."

[Yangcheng Taoist Studies Research Institute]

This is the sign for the courtyard. There are two nominal directors: Daoist Yihong and Daoist Mingyu. The list of invitees naturally includes several Daoists from the Daluo Palace.

By this time, everyone had moved all sorts of books to the research institute, making it their base in the modern world.

Master Jingfeng nodded, "From now on, we can be considered to have a legitimate reason to be in Guangzhou."

Master Qingyuan also breathed a sigh of relief, holding up an old-fashioned mobile phone, "Now I have an excuse to reply to my senior brother."

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

A few days ago, when Master Qingyuan returned, he happened to receive a call from Master Qingwei. After answering the call, he had no idea how to answer Master Qingwei's question.

His stammering manner aroused suspicion in Master Qingwei, who had initially had no doubts, and he immediately decided to come to Guangzhou to find him.

Later, Master Yihong took the phone and explained to Master Qingwei.

As a senior member of the Longmen School's ancestral temple, Master Yihong had gone to Zhenwu Mountain to collect Longmen classics and had met with Master Qingwei. At this time, it just so happened that a base was to be built in the modern era, which was a good excuse to appease Master Qingwei.

With Master Yihong's endorsement, Master Qingwei naturally no longer doubted that Master Qingyuan had been deceived.

But he still had doubts. Master Qingyuan had spent his whole life practicing Taoism and martial arts, but his understanding of Taoism was actually very limited. He hadn't even read many Taoist scriptures. So why was he invited to the Taoist Research Institute?

Master Qingwei had a hunch, but he wasn't too excited. He just said a few polite words, mentioned that they could communicate more in the future, and then ended the call.

……

It was a rare occasion for several old Taoist priests to return to the modern world together. Instead of immediately taking them back to the other world to continue working, Gu Zhao drove them around Guangzhou to relax and unwind.

His five-seater SUV couldn't fit all these people, so he summoned Zhang Hang.

"You finally remembered me!"

Upon meeting, Zhang Hang punched Gu Zhao in the chest, saying, "I couldn't find you all day. I thought you had gone mad from practicing Taoism and demonic cultivation and had even gone into the mountains to become a monk. I was even planning to smash up the Taoist temple to save you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw six or seven Taoist priests turn out from the side. Some had kind faces, while others had a serious demeanor. They just watched him quietly, making him feel immense pressure.

Zhang Hang, “…”

"The friends you mentioned, are they the ones?" Zhang Hang asked tentatively.

Gu Zhao nodded and introduced Zhang Hang to everyone, "Zhang Hang, my old neighbor, my childhood friend."

The other party was a close friend of Gu Zhao from his secular life on Blue Star, so the old Taoists naturally did not neglect him and all bowed and greeted him, "Greetings, Mr. Zhang."

"Greetings, Daoist Master! Greetings, Daoist Master!" Zhang Hang bowed repeatedly. "I was just joking. Please don't take it to heart."

Then Gu Zhao introduced them to Zhang Hang, "These two are Daoist Yansong and Daoist Yanling from Qingcheng Mountain, this is Daoist Yihong from Baiyun Temple in Yandu, these two are Daoist Mingyu and Daoist Mingchong from the Celestial Master's Mansion in Longhu Tianshan, this is Daoist Jingfeng from Fengdu Temple in Shancheng, and this is Daoist Qingyuan from Zhenwu Mountain." As for Yun Yang…

As a junior member of the Great Luo Palace, he naturally stayed behind in the other world to guard against any eventuality and to relay messages to everyone at any time.

Yunyang: _

Hu Yufei: (^o^)
Zhang Hang was stunned.

After all, his good friend was a Taoist priest, so he learned some Taoist knowledge and knew the status of Baiyun Temple and Tianshi Mansion. He also knew that Qingcheng Mountain and Zhenwu Mountain were among the four famous Taoist mountains.

The only Fengdu Temple seems to be not very famous, but to be able to hang out with these old Taoist priests, they are certainly not easy people.

Is it true or false? How did Gu Zhao get to know these old Taoist priests?

Zhang Hang was completely bewildered, but he still pulled along Daoist Yansong, Daoist Yanling, and Daoist Qingyuan, and together with Gu Zhao, led a few old Daoists to stroll through the streets.

……

As a world-class modern city, Guangzhou has many cosplayers, though not many. A few old men dressed in Taoist costumes strolling through the streets, though not common, did not attract much attention.

Strolling through the streets, I rediscovered the vibrant atmosphere of modern society. In the afternoon, I enjoyed a proper Cantonese meal, and in the evening, I chartered a small yacht for a night cruise on the Pearl River.

Looking at the colorful neon lights reflecting on the Pearl River and the lights of thousands of homes on both banks that almost illuminated the night sky, the oldest member of the Taoist priest family, Master Yanling, who had experienced the War of Resistance against Japan in his childhood, couldn't help but sigh, "This is truly a peaceful and prosperous era!"

Among the Taoist priests, the youngest, Master Qingyuan, and Master Mingchong, were both over sixty years old. They had both experienced hardship and didn't realize it while cultivating themselves in the mountains. However, a few days ago, they had been vanquishing mountains and temples and exorcising demons in another world. Now, suddenly standing in the night view of Guangzhou, they couldn't help but feel endless emotions.

In an instant, everyone's mood improved.

With a slight thought, Daoist Mingyu unleashed a surge of incredibly powerful Daoist Qi emanating from him, causing him to appear ethereal for a moment, as if he were about to ascend to immortality.

Everyone looked at Daoist Mingyu, and each smiled and cupped their hands in greeting, "Congratulations, Senior Brother!"

"Thank you very much!" Master Mingyu returned the greeting with a smile. "I had a sudden inspiration and practiced Qi cultivation, but I didn't expect to make a breakthrough."

Everyone laughed upon hearing this, and Daoist Yansong chuckled and said, "It seems that the White Stone Mansion is just around the corner."

Master Mingyu smiled and said, "But the White Bone God is quite powerful, so we need our two senior brothers to be more lenient with him."

Master Yansong and Master Yihong both smiled.

The two of them were the first to join the Great Luo Palace and the first to break through five hundred years of cultivation. Although they didn't show off their abilities later and didn't gain much in terms of evil energy, their cultivation was actually steadily progressing.

The Thunder Seed, by eliminating evil and accumulating merit, gains malevolent energy, making cultivation incredibly fast.

But true cultivation begins with oneself!

Master Yansong has thoroughly studied "Direct Pointing to the Great Elixir" and "Secret Method of the Taiyi Fire Palace," while Master Yihong has adjusted "The Origin and Flow of Qi" and "Eight Vajra Exercises" to best suit himself.

Even relying solely on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and their own cultivation, their cultivation and magical power still advanced by leaps and bounds. Even without any more baleful energy, they were confident that they could slay the black dragon, it would just take a little longer.

"With all of you brothers working together, we will surely be invincible," Master Yansong chuckled. "The Qi of the heavens is vast and boundless!"

The old Taoist priests clapped their hands and laughed, saying, "Our Taoist path is flourishing every day!"
