Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 448 Encountering Immortals

Compared to the previous Taoist priests, Master Qingwei is one of the most familiar Taoist figures to netizens, with many of his previous interviews and performances still available online.

The performance was recorded by professionals from the system, and there were also countless tourists watching and taking pictures, which resulted in his performance being uploaded to the Internet immediately.

Netizens finally got a close look at the power of the Taoist superhumans, especially since Master Qingwei was so familiar to them, which gave them a sense of closeness.

then……

Zhenwu Mountain is experiencing another tourism boom!

Zhenwu Mountain, already the premier Taoist tourist destination in modern times, was almost full of visitors. In particular, the Sanfeng School has become more secular and commercialized, opening martial arts halls and health centers, which caused a surge in visitors.

However, just as everyone was eagerly hoping to encounter Master Qingwei again, they discovered that not only could they not find Master Qingwei, but they also could not find his three most famous disciples.

……

Master Qingwei, of course, led Master Shihang, Master Shimao, and Master Shiyu back to the Great Luo Palace in the other world. He first familiarized them with the Quanzhen School's internal alchemy methods and the Eight Divine Incantations of the Zhengyi School, then distributed magic weapons and led them down the mountain to subdue demons and monsters.

As for Gu Zhao, he went to Henan Province.

Yuxian Palace has a grand name and is located in the suburbs of Luoyang. It was once very prosperous hundreds of years ago and was the ancestral home of the Yuxian School, which was inherited by Ma Yu, the leader of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen.

However, as the Yuxian Sect gradually declined, the Yuxian Palace also gradually fell into disrepair.

But recently, extraordinary beings have appeared in the world, and real people have emerged, making Taoism very popular. Yuxian Palace has also become popular as a result. As the ancestral temple of the Yuxian sect, it has seen an increase in both funding from higher authorities and visitors coming to offer incense.

"It seems the Encounter Immortals Sect is doomed to fail."

In the backyard of Yuxian Palace, an old Taoist priest and a middle-aged Taoist priest listened to the bustling noise in the front yard and the obvious increase in young Taoist priests in the back yard, and both of them smiled.

“Even without this incident, the Yuxian Sect would still exist.” The middle-aged Taoist priest laughed. “Brother Faren of Danyang Temple in the south is also a Taoist master. I heard that his disciple is capable of inheriting his mantle.”

The old Taoist priest glared at the middle-aged Taoist priest. "That's Faren's insight and skill. What are you so happy about?"

The middle-aged Taoist poured a cup of tea for the old Taoist. "Isn't this to put your mind at ease? Master Danyang is humble and open-minded. You are Master Danyang's direct descendant, so you can't be stingy."

The old Taoist priest rolled his eyes, picked up his teacup, and drank it all in one gulp. "If I were stingy, you wouldn't even be allowed to join the sect!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" the middle-aged Taoist priest repeatedly agreed, and then filled the old Taoist priest's cup again.

Just then, they saw a young man stroll in, looking at them with a smile.

The middle-aged Taoist priest stood up and bowed. "Hello, this is the backyard of the Taoist temple. We do not receive tourists."

Gu Zhao returned the greeting and said, "I have heard that Master Hexin is as fiery as fire and hates evil as if it were his enemy, while Master Fali is kind, loyal and filial. I have come here to invite you to discuss important matters together."

"To discuss important matters?" The Daoist priest looked at Gu Zhao. "What important matters?"

"Punish the wicked and eliminate evil, subdue demons and monsters," Gu Zhao said solemnly.

Master He Xin was taken aback upon hearing this, and Master Fa Li asked curiously, "May I ask who you are...?"

Gu Zhao continued, "I will provide you two with a platform, and you two will take action. We will split the profits 30/70."

The two Taoist priests suddenly realized.

Master He Xin laughed and said, "To punish evil and uphold justice, I suggest you go to the police station next door to report the case. As for subduing demons, you've come to the wrong person. This old Taoist priest doesn't have that ability!"

Master Fali said calmly, "My master and I have no intention of showing our faces in public. You have come to the wrong person." Since the emergence of the supernatural, various literary and artistic works about Taoism have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. There are new films officially registered with the Film Bureau, documentaries from various systems and platforms, and of course, online Taoists launched by various MCN agencies.

The two assumed that Gu Zhao was also a businessman who had witnessed the extraordinary and was planning to recruit some Taoist priests to join him in setting up a company, with himself acting as the manager and letting the Taoist priests perform a script on stage.

Otherwise, where would modern society find the means to punish evil and vanquish demons?

“You’ve come to the right place.” Gu Zhao smiled. “Master He Xin is a former security guard, and Master Fa Li was once wronged by your master. Both of them are professionals, which is exactly the kind of talent that the Daluo Palace needs.”

Even without mentioning that Daoist He Xin's profession is a perfect match, Daoist Fa Li can also find the hidden demons and monsters in another world by immersing himself in the criminals. After all, when those demons and monsters conceal their aura and hide their tracks, Lei Zi needs to get close to sense them.

"Hmm?" Daoist Master Hexin and Daoist Master Fali both looked up.

Finding them is not surprising, but knowing their background is anything but unusual. After all, Master He Xin took off his uniform and entered the Taoist sect more than 30 years ago, and few people know about his relationship with Master Fa Li.

"Who are you?" Master Fali asked, frowning.

Gu Zhao exuded a Taoist aura. "Master Xining of Xiyue mentioned you to me, hoping to fight alongside you."

"Wow--"

Daoist Master He Xin knocked over his teacup, stood up, and said, "You are the master of the new grotto-heaven?"

"A new grotto-heaven? Master?" Gu Zhao asked, puzzled.

Master Fali said, "Many Taoists have cultivated internal energy, but the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is limited, so no one can fly through the clouds and summon wind and rain."

However, Daoist Xu Ning, Daoist Yuan He, Daoist Yan Qi, and others were suddenly able to reach the legendary realm, which naturally meant they had ample spiritual energy for cultivation.

It is said that they had all left their respective sects, and before leaving, each had encountered a young man.

Master Fali looked at Gu Zhao with a puzzled expression. "Therefore, many people in the Taoist sect believe that this young man has discovered a blessed land full of spiritual energy and invited all the true cultivators of the Tao to enter the blessed land for cultivation."

Gu Zhao suddenly realized that this was what some insiders in the Taoist sect said, and it might only be circulating in a small circle of true Taoists, so the Taoist Studies Office didn't know about it, and that's why he hadn't heard the news.

“A new grotto-heaven? Master?” Gu Zhao shook his head with a smile. “It’s not a new grotto-heaven, but a new world. I’m not the master of the grotto-heaven either. I’m just the head of the Great Luo Palace.”

Gu Zhao looked at the two of them and said, "Although the new world is full of spiritual energy, it is also full of dangers. There are many demons and monsters. Are you two willing to join us in upholding justice and eliminating evil?"

He Xintong slammed his fist on the table and stood up, his beard bristling with anger. "You should have come to me first! Xi Ning is weak-willed, and Xu Ning is just a woman. I'm a former security officer, much more suitable than them!"

Master Fali reached out and touched his forehead.

Gu Zhao laughed heartily, and with a flick of his finger, sent two lightning seeds into the sea of ​​consciousness of Daoist He Xin and Daoist Fa Li.

After the two activated their innate Qi and were cleansed by the Thunder Seed, Gu Zhao transmitted He Xin's words to Daoist Xining of the Huashan Quanzhen School of the Western Peak and Daoist Xu Ning of the Qingjing School of Laoshan.

"You'll have to figure this out yourselves from now on," Gu Zhao said with a smile.

Then, the voices of Daoist Xining and Daoist Xu Ning came from Daoist Xining's sea of ​​consciousness.

"Brother Hexin, you're being unfair! Wait till you arrive, and see how I treat you!"

"Brother He Xindao, I have long admired your name. I, Xu Ning, offer you tea in your presence."

And the channel leader, "..."
