Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 292 Arrival at Laoshan

Gu Zhao overheard Simmons' conversation on the phone.

"Special Forces Bureau?"

Xiao Ya shifted her position in Gu Zhao's arms, a strand of her long hair brushing against the tip of Gu Zhao's nose, making his nose itch, and he couldn't help but touch it.

"It's starting to sound more and more like a novel." Gu Zhao thought for a moment, then shook his head. "But Simmons and Nancy's attitudes are much better than in the novel."

In the past, American people were portrayed as arrogant and disdainful towards this side in online novels. I never expected that they would start to consider the consequences now, and there are even real-life examples to support this.

Gu Zhao did not take this superpowered special operations bureau seriously.

He'd seen plenty of modern mages before. Leaving aside Hiroya Tsuchimikado, this Simmons in front of him was no different from an ordinary person, except for the little bit of magic power he possessed.

If this were taken to another world, even the Golden Wind Goddess he encountered when he was just starting out could easily defeat them, let alone the Taoist office staff who are now holding the Heavenly Gang Talisman and the Vajra Mystic Talisman.

……

The next morning, after sending the two women to work, Gu Zhao went to the Taoist Research Institute.

The research building was clean and tidy, spotless, clearly cleaned every day. On a table in the lobby in front of the building was a thin stack of documents, which were messages that the office thought needed to be communicated to the research building.

Gu Zhao picked it up and looked at it. Sure enough, it contained information about foreign sorcerers entering the country, as well as some incidents they caused, such as a Gallic sorcerer being beaten for picking up girls, and a Caucasian sorcerer causing anemia in people.

Then Gu Zhao saw Master Huaiyi of the Jinshan Sect in Laoshan, who had appeared in the second incident.

"I was just talking about the Jinshan Sect with Yunyang last time, and I never expected to run into them here." Gu Zhao put down the documents.

Since I happened to see the news about Master Huaiyi, and I also happened to have extra lightning seeds in my sea of ​​consciousness, isn't this the arrival of the other party's destiny?
Laoshan is also a famous Taoist mountain and an important base of Quanzhen Taoism in the north. In addition to the Jinshan School, several branches of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen also spread in eastern Shandong.

"I've never been to Laoshan before, so this is a good opportunity to take a trip there."

Gu Zhao put down the documents and then left the Taoist Research Institute, only stopping briefly at the security booth as he passed by.

"Master?" Gu Zhao turned around and greeted him.

"Hello!" The security captain instinctively reached for a salute, but then touched his clothes halfway up his hand before asking naturally, "Mr. Gu, is there something you need?"

Gu Zhao asked, "Did you put those documents in the hall?"

The security captain nodded immediately, "Yes, I handed it over, but I didn't even look at it!"

Gu Zhao smiled upon hearing this, "Then can you pass on a message to the Taoist Academy Office?"

"Of course!" the security captain assured him. "We'll use encrypted communication; there will be absolutely no leaks!"

“It’s not that serious.” Gu Zhao chuckled, then said, “Yesterday I met a mage from abroad who received a call from a friend back home saying that the FBI in the United States is recruiting mages from the country to form a superpowered special operations bureau.”

The security captain's pupils constricted sharply. "I'll notify the office immediately!"

"Don't be nervous," Gu Zhao reassured her. "They are just ordinary mages; they can't withstand a single bullet from you."

The security captain couldn't help but give an awkward smile.

After joining the Taoist office, he learned what ordinary cultivators in this world were like. He could only say that although they were mysterious, once the mystique was dispelled, they weren't all that special. Like hypnotists, they were just a group of professionals with specialized skills; they sounded impressive, but their influence was limited.

However, after learning about the skills of the old Taoist priests in the Taoist Research Institute, his worldview was completely overturned. So now he is studying the "Taishang Ganying Pian" diligently, preparing to try practicing the "Taishang Ziwu Tuna Fa" after getting a basic understanding of Taoism.

Following the recent drought, rainfall, and mine rescue events, the illusion surrounding superhumans has thickened again, which is why some people are somewhat alarmed upon hearing that an organization for superhumans has been established on the other side.

But think about it, if these old Taoist priests from the Taoist Research Institute hadn't appeared out of thin air, there have been extraordinary cultivators in the world before, and they've lived like this for hundreds or thousands of years without any problems.

The one who truly brings about change is this young man!
He looks ordinary, is somewhat handsome, and has a friendly and cheerful face. This young man, who wouldn't stand out much on a university campus, is actually a god-like figure who can fly and disappear into the earth!

The security captain had a premonition that these people would eventually be exposed to the public and would certainly be recorded in history.

And now... I'm actually talking to this person?

The security captain had a surreal feeling that he was living in the annals of history. Perhaps a hundred years from now, history books would record: "Gu Zhao discovered the secrets of the American bank, informed the security captain of the research institute, XXX, and relayed it to the Taoist office."

Does this mean I've made a name for myself in history?

Just as the security captain was lost in thought, Gu Zhao had already left the Taoist Research Institute and disappeared in a flash.

……

Laoshan.

If placed among famous Taoist mountains, it may not be the oldest, nor the most famous, and it may not even have any outstanding top figures or peak moments.

However, once the sea is involved, one can never bypass Laoshan.

The No. 1 mountain by the sea!

With mountains and sea connected, clouds and rosy hues drifting by, the vast expanse stretches as far as the eye can see. Surrounded by ancient cypress and pine trees, this scenic spot is unparalleled!

Gu Zhaofei arrived at Laoshan, descended at the ticket office, bought a ticket, and just like when he visited Qingcheng Mountain, Zhenwu Mountain, Sanmao Mountain, and Longmen Mountain, he climbed the steps to enjoy the scenery.

Taoist priests need to be recruited, and scenery needs to be enjoyed. If you don't appreciate it properly on your first mountain climb, you'll always be flying around and you won't have the same mindset as the first time.

Laoshan is quite large, with several scenic areas. Gu Zhao naturally went to the Taiqing Scenic Area on the south route to visit Taiqing Palace, since the Taoist priest Huaiyi mentioned in the information cultivated there.

Gu Zhao was just like an ordinary tourist. He boarded the tour bus at the gate and drove along the so-called most beautiful coastal highway. On the left were verdant mountains, and on the right was the horizon where the sea met the sky. He listened to the online tour guide's introduction in his headphones while enjoying the beautiful scenery.

Upon arriving at the Taiqing Scenic Area, Gu Zhao got out of the car. Right next to him was the largest and most magnificent Taiqing Palace. Behind the archway, there was a large stone inscribed with "The Second Greatest Taoist Quanzhen Temple in the World".

What? Where is the number one Quanzhen Buddhist forest in the world?
Master Yihong smiled but remained silent.

only……

Gu Zhao glanced at the coffee shop and KFC next to the Taiqing Palace archway and still felt a bit out of place.

"Fortunately, there's still Snow King."

Gu Zhao sighed, then entered the temple and paid homage to the Three Pure Ones.
