Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 541 Yellow Sky and Azure Clouds, Our Hebei Province Will Have Immortals Too!

Gu Zhao's words left the grandfather and grandson completely dumbfounded.

But they immediately realized what was happening and looked at Gu Zhao and the two old Taoists with a mixture of surprise and delight.

"So fast?" Zhang Mingcheng asked instinctively.

Gu Zhao laughed and said, "You think it's fast?"

Zhang Mingcheng glanced at Zhang Chengguang and said honestly, "I thought we should at least be behind Grandpa Faben."

“Master Faben of Qingyun Temple belongs to the Quanzhen Longmen School.” Gu Zhao nodded and smiled. “We’ll bring him along this time.”

Gu Zhao looked at Zhang Chengguang, "Grandpa, are you free this afternoon? Let's go to Qingyun Temple together."

"Yes, yes, of course!" Zhang Chengguang, disregarding any pretense of modesty, quickly assured them it was no problem, then cupped his hands and asked, "May I ask how you gentlemen are addressed?"

The other party also knew Master Faben, which clearly showed they knew their background, but they only knew that Gu Zhao and the other two were extraordinary individuals, but they didn't know how to address them.

"Gu Zhao of the Great Luo Palace".

"Wen Shi Pai Fang De".

"The Shaoyang School has no fixed principles."

"I am Zhang Chengguang of Taiping Dao, and this is my grandson Zhang Mingcheng," Zhang Chengguang formally introduced himself.

Just then, the owner brought out the freshly made donkey meat sandwiches and donkey offal soup.

"Then let's eat the baked buns first, and then we'll all go together."

"Good good!"

Gu Zhao took a bite of the baked bun and a sip of the soup, praising, "Really good!"

"Right, right!" Zhang Mingcheng said enthusiastically, "Our donkey meat sandwiches are the best!"

Gu Zhao smiled and said, "I have a friend who agrees that Xi'an's roujiamo (meat sandwich) is the best snack to pair with carbs. I'll introduce you to him later."

"Is someone like you?"

"Do you know Yun Yang from the Eight Immortals Palace in Xijing?"

In Zhang Mingcheng's mind, there was an image of eight towering Dharma images rushing towards the typhoon and scattering it. Then there was the image of a young Taoist priest with such magical power smiling and asking him, "Which is tastier, donkey meat sandwich or roujiamo?"

Zhang Mingcheng couldn't help but swallow, then took a sip of donkey offal soup to cover it up.

……

After Gu Zhao and his two companions finished eating the baked buns, they returned to Ji'an Hall with Zhang Chengguang and his grandson. They told the nurse on duty and another traditional Chinese medicine doctor before leaving again.

Standing at the door, Zhang Mingcheng pointed to the Fangbao parked by the roadside, "This is the car my dad bought for me. Shall we take it there?"

Instead of answering, Gu Zhao asked, "Want to fly?"

Zhang Mingcheng's eyes lit up. "Yes!"

The next moment, he felt himself fly.

"Wow!" Zhang Mingcheng exclaimed in surprise, and saw his grandfather fly into the air beside him. But when he looked around, he saw that the people around him seemed not to have seen them at all.

"Invisibility?" Zhang Mingcheng immediately understood.

“It’s just a very simple application of magic,” Gu Zhao said. “You’ll probably be able to learn it by tomorrow.”

"Huh?" Zhang Mingcheng looked completely bewildered.

Then they arrived at Qingyun Temple, which was located on the outskirts of Cangcheng and almost bordered Tianjin Port.

"So fast?" Zhang Mingcheng asked in surprise.

Ji'an Hall is located in Cangcheng City, nearly 60 kilometers away from Qingyun Temple. It takes more than an hour to drive there, but it felt like they arrived in the time it took to exchange just a few words.

It's not fast enough; I haven't even sped up yet.

Gu Zhao didn't say that. He hadn't yet given the Thunder Seed to Zhang Chengguang and his grandson, and they didn't know how quickly they would grow up. "So many people!" This was Zhang Mingcheng's second remark. "There weren't this many people last time I came."

He glanced at Gu Zhao and the two old Taoist priests, clearly knowing why there were so many extra people at Qingyun Temple.

Then he saw Gu Zhao looking at an old Taoist priest who was sunbathing outside the Taoist temple gate.

The old Taoist priest moved a reclining chair to a spot not far from the gate, against the wall, and lay down to sunbathe. People came and went at Qingyun Temple, but no one bothered him.

“That’s Grandpa Faben!” Zhang Mingcheng said.

Gu Zhao nodded, and said meaningfully, "There's only him."

Master Fang De laughed and said, "To have even one is already a great temple on a sacred mountain. Even the Baiyun Temple in Yandu only has Brother Yihong."

Master Wuzhi couldn't help but laugh; this had almost become a regular occurrence for the people of Daluo Palace to tease Master Yihong.

The prestigious Longmen ancestral temple is only supported by Daoist Yihong.

Of course, jokes aside, among the elders of the Daluo Palace, the most were indeed from the Longmen Sect. As expected of the leader of the Quanzhen Sect, their proportion in the Quanzhen Sect far exceeded that of the Tianshi Mansion in the Zhengyi Sect.

And so, the Daluo Palace is about to add another elder from the Longmen Sect.

Gu Zhao merely concealed his form with his true qi, which was not a true invisibility technique. Therefore, Daoist Faben, who was sunbathing at the entrance of Qingyun Temple, easily sensed the surge of true qi in mid-air.

Master Faben suddenly looked up and then felt that aura descend to a spot not far from the gate, revealing five figures.

"Brother Zhang?"

"Brother Farben!"

Master Faben saw Zhang Chengguang and Zhang Mingcheng, as well as Master Fangde and Master Wuzhi, who exuded the aura of hermits.

He hurriedly got up from the recliner and bowed to the group, saying, "Faben of Qingyun Temple greets you all."

After exchanging names, Gu Zhao and the other two smiled and said, "Master Faben should know why we've come."

"I know, I know," Master Faben said with a smile. "I'm lucky, thank you all for your kind consideration."

"That's because the Taoist priest has profound Taoist cultivation and noble character," Gu Zhao said with a smile.

Master Faben chuckled, then invited the group inside for tea. As they walked, he asked, "I can understand your invisibility techniques, but why didn't you attract the attention of those around you when you appeared just now?"

Zhang Chengguang and Zhang Mingcheng were also very curious, because they had this question when they took off from Cangcheng.

“It’s also a little smokescreen,” Gu Zhao replied. “In your eyes, we appeared out of nowhere, but in their eyes, we were already standing here all along.”

Master Faben and Zhang Chengguang, grandfather and grandson, seemed to understand but not quite, and then they went together to the backyard of Qingyun Temple.

……

Half an hour later, the tourists who were visiting and offering incense at Qingyun Temple seemed to sense something and looked up at the sky. They found that the sky had suddenly turned yellow and stretched into the distance.

Against the backdrop of the yellow sky, patches of clouds turned blue, stretching endlessly.

"What's going on?"

"Strange phenomena in the heavens and earth, a resurgence of spiritual energy?"

“I remember a few months ago, the purple aura of Mount Kongdong stretched for three thousand miles, and then it was said that two old Taoist priests on the mountain disappeared.”

"Disappeared? Perhaps they ascended to heaven!"

"No, no, he joined the Extraordinary. Master Yunyang also disappeared for a long time before, and when he reappeared, he cleaved the telecommunications fraud park in Luzon with a single sword strike."

"what?"

"So, does that mean our Hebei province is going to have immortals too?"

"No, it's Cangcheng! I just saw it clearly: the yellow sky and blue clouds started appearing right above our heads!"
