Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 329: Robbery at the Gold Shop – It Ended Before It Even Began.

Although Bai Ke's outspokenness caused an awkward moment, her identity also sparked a conversation, defusing the embarrassment.

Gu Zhao continued to lead the group on a tour, during which they met and greeted their disciples, including He Cailian, Chen Zhi, and Xu Sirou.

Finally, Gu Zhao introduced Bai Fei and Zhuo Qingyan, and then, together with many old Taoist priests, held a welcome banquet for Bai Fei.

……

For the next few days, Bai Fei stayed at the Daluo Palace, either sightseeing, experiencing the local culture, or discussing metaphysics and doctrines with Gu Zhao and the old Taoist priests.

The group didn't discuss specific techniques, but rather shared their insights and experiences. Even so, everyone gained a great deal from the discussion.

Although many of these experienced Taoist masters possess profound Taoist skills, have deep-rooted ideas, and reach sublime realms, all following the natural way of Taoism and directly leading to immortality, they have only been in this world for less than two years, and their cultivation experience can only be described as "naive".

At this moment, communicating with the White Spirit Mountain Master, who has cultivated for thousands of years, is more effective than communicating with Ziyun Jun and Lu Zhengtang. Through analogy, many of my questions have suddenly become clear.

In just a few days, many experienced Taoists made progress to varying degrees, with some even achieving a more solid foundation and faster cultivation.

If the many experienced Taoists reaped considerable rewards, then Bai Fei reaped an even greater harvest.

Taoist practices are based on learning from the natural world and are close to the Tao. Bai Fei discussed profound mysteries and methods with many old Taoists. Sometimes it was just a few words. Although they were very mysterious, it seemed to open a door to a new world for Bai Fei.

If Bai Fei helped the many old Taoists resolve their doubts about the details and solidify their foundation in cultivation, then the many old Taoists helped Bai Fei raise the upper limit of her cultivation and increase her actually very slim hope of ascension.

Therefore, after each discussion, they would respectfully bow to each other to express their gratitude for each other's selfless sharing.

“No wonder you were able to break through the five-hundred-year cultivation level in just a few days at Cuiluo Mountain. The cultivation philosophy of the Daluo Palace leads directly to the Great Dao. It is indeed extraordinary,” Bai Fei said to Li Qingshuang.

Li Qingshuang was a little embarrassed. Her breakthrough at that time was not because she listened to the teachings of the Great Luo Palace.

"Hmm?" Bai Fei noticed Li Qingshuang's embarrassment and saw the watery look in Li Qingshuang's eyes and the blush on her face. She could easily guess what Li Qingshuang had just done.

“The mating of Yin and Yang is indeed the way of natural reproduction and human nature.” Bai Fei shook her head and smiled, advising, “But we cultivators are not ordinary people. We cannot indulge in it. We must be moderate and restrained so as not to hinder our cultivation.”

Li Qingshuang couldn't help but smile and told him frankly, "Sister, you misunderstand. Brother Gu has a dual cultivation method. It is not about absorbing yin to supplement yang, but a method of yin and yang flowing and mutually promoting each other. In addition to pleasure, we can also benefit our cultivation, and even gain more."

"My breakthrough in cultivation was aided by Brother Gu using this method," Li Qingshuang added.

Bai Fei: ? ? ?
Bai Fei couldn't help but look towards the main courtyard of the Daluo Palace. There, she saw that all the halls, layer upon layer, were filled with the smoke of incense. In the rising smoke, it seemed as if a group of deities stood there.

"How come this Great Luo Palace has all kinds of cultivation methods? Just how many inheritances have they obtained?"

Even though Bai Fei was an old monster who had cultivated for hundreds of years, she still looked completely bewildered. "Or rather, how much do those gods in the spirit world favor their good younger brother?"

……

While Gu Zhao was entertaining Bai Fei at the Daluo Palace, Xiao Ya and Jiang Shishi also encountered a small accident abroad. Well, it wasn't just the two of them, but several members of their folk music troupe.

The folk music ensemble has been performing all over Southeast Asia and just finished its last performance in Luzon. The ensemble has given the group a day off to go shopping in the capital of Luzon.

When someone in the group invited Xiao Ya and Jiang Shishi to go shopping together, they didn't stand out and gathered a group of seven or eight girls, plus four or five boys, making a total of twelve or thirteen people, to go out together.

In this way, it was both lively and safe, and even the people secretly protecting Xiao Ya and her two companions had no worries.

Then the accident happened.

Who the hell would have thought that there would be armed robbers openly robbing a gold shop in the capital of a country!
An older man said that gold is cheaper abroad than in China, and he wanted to buy his wife a gold bracelet as a wedding anniversary gift. He invited the women to help him with their opinions, so a group of them enthusiastically flocked into a gold shop.

While they were arguing noisily, a van that had changed hands countless times pulled up in front of the jewelry store, and four masked, armed robbers got out of the van and rushed into the store.

"Bang bang bang!"

Gunshots rang out, and as soon as the bandits entered the gold shop, they fired several shots into the air as a show of force, which indeed caused a stir and chaos.

"Holy crap!" Ding Kai, who was smoking across the street behind the group, threw his cigarette to the ground. Liu Xiaoyu next to him also cursed and looked at his companion, "What do we do?"

"Save them! What can we do?" Ding Kai strode towards the other side.

"But wouldn't that give us away? The criminals' goal was to rob the gold, not to hurt anyone, and they were even wearing gold bracelets," Liu Xiaoyu asked.

“But they will be frightened, and our first responsibility is to protect them.” Ding Kai didn’t hesitate at all. He rushed across the street in three strides and then rushed into the jewelry store while the masked driver of the van was looking on in bewilderment.

Inside the gold shop, the members of the folk music troupe were naturally startled.

They were all born in a peaceful era in China, and most of them came from big cities. They had never encountered such a situation before, and they were all so frightened that they covered their heads and hid to the side. Even Xiao Ya and Jiang Shishi were no exception.

Although they knew that Gu Zhao possessed extraordinary power and that the magical artifacts he gave them were also very powerful, capable of countering evil magic and even protecting them from car accidents, they still knew that they lived in a technologically advanced society and who knew if they could even stop bullets!

"Bring out all the gold!" someone shouted.

“Everyone lie down to one side, or I’ll kill you!” another man shouted.

"Boss, should we take someone hostage?" the third person asked the fourth.

The fourth person instinctively looked towards the largest group, the folk music troupe, and their eyes met those of Xiao Ya and the other two women. Their eyes lit up, and they immediately said, "Her..."

But before he could finish speaking, two men rushed into the jewelry store and charged at them.

"who?"

"Plainclothes security guards?"

The four men were shocked and instinctively raised their spears, opening fire on the two men.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Da da da!"

Bullets struck the two men, but seemed to cause them no harm. Then they saw the two men approaching them despite being hit by four rifles.

He seized the gun, fired back, and killed the thief with swift and sharp movements, all done in one smooth motion, just like in the movies.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

After four gunshots, the tourists inside the jewelry store discovered that the two men had actually killed all four robbers!
After the counterattack, the two men didn't linger. They turned around and left, carrying a gun with them. As they left, they shot the van driver, killing the last man.

Then they dropped their guns and hurriedly disappeared into the crowd.

Everyone, "..."

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Before either the employees or the customers in the jewelry store could react, it was all over.

Only Xiao Ya and Jiang Shishi exchanged a glance.

"They seemed to glance at us just now?"

"One of them even nodded in acknowledgment."

"Do they know us?"

"They are not afraid of bullets."

The two women whispered to each other, glancing at the sandalwood bracelet in their hands. "Could it be..."
