Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 542 Heaven is dead, Huang Tian is here to stand

"The blue sky has died, the yellow sky shall rise, the year is Jiazi, and the world will be blessed!"

This is a famous line that has been recorded in the history of Tianxia, ​​and it is ranked alongside "Are kings and nobles born with special privileges?", "When autumn comes on the ninth day of the ninth month, my flowers will bloom and all other flowers will wither", and "A stone man with one eye stirs up the Yellow River and the world rebels".

Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion failed and was even used as a stepping stone by Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian, later generations have never regarded the Taiping Dao as a villainous force when admiring these heroes and generals who have made their mark on history.

In other words, all peasant uprisings in history, which were against corrupt systems and foreign invasions, were not led by villainous forces.

Whether they succeed or fail.

……

After their meeting at Qingyun Temple, Gu Zhao went to find the others, instructing Daoist Fang De and Daoist Wu Zhi to take Daoist Fa Ben back to Yangcheng, while Zhang Chengguang and Zhang Mingcheng were to return to Cangcheng first to settle things at home.

Although Zhang Chengguang's wife has passed away and Zhang Mingcheng has not had a girlfriend, Zhang Chengguang still has a son and daughter-in-law, and Zhang Mingcheng still has his parents.

"Dad! Mom!"

When Zhang Mingcheng opened the door, he saw his mother, Zhu Xuan, doing aerobics in the living room, while his father, Zhang Zhixue, watched his wife's dance moves while making a phone call to his subordinates at the company.

Seeing Zhang Chengguang and Zhang Mingcheng go home together, Zhu Xuan stopped what she was doing, and Zhang Zhixue also gave a perfunctory reply and hung up the phone.

"Why are you two back so early?" Zhang Zhixue asked curiously. "Is there not many people at the hospital today?"

“Even though we’re doctors, we don’t expect to have many patients,” Zhu Xuan quickly interrupted her husband. “It’s rare for Xiaoming and Dad to come home so early, so let them rest a bit. I’ll go cook dinner.”

"Xiaoxuan, don't cook. Order some takeout to eat." Zhang Chengguang waved his hand and looked at Zhang Mingcheng, "Order something good and have a few drinks with your dad."

"Okay!" Zhang Mingcheng nodded, then took out his phone to order food.

Zhu Xuan and Zhang Zhixue looked at each other, somewhat bewildered.

"No, Dad, it's not a holiday, why are you drinking?" Zhang Zhixue's heart skipped a beat, and he asked cautiously, "What happened?"

Alcohol is a good thing; a little is pleasant, but too much is harmful to your health.

Zhang Chengguang, a master of traditional Chinese medicine, always reminded him to drink less alcohol. Because Zhang Zhixue was a businessman, he had many social engagements outside and inevitably had to drink. So the old man often prescribed him hangover remedies. Except for holidays, the family never drank alcohol.

So when Zhang Chengguang and Zhang Mingcheng suddenly came home early, wanted to order food for a small gathering, and suggested drinking, Zhang Zhixue couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Could it be...

Isn’t that right?

My father is a master of traditional Chinese medicine, and my son has also achieved great success in his studies. There are no problems with the family's genes, so it's impossible for him to have any serious illness.

Zhu Xuan, however, was very understanding. "Did you encounter a patient with a difficult family situation?"

But as soon as she finished speaking, she knew something was wrong, because the excitement on the faces of the father and son was undisguised. "Could it be that something happy has happened?"

Zhang Zhixue noticed it too and subconsciously picked up his phone. "Has Yinggao been hit by another disaster?"

He remembered the last time the old man was so happy was when the Yinggao earthquake collapsed the nuclear power plant, but afterwards the old man chased after him and scolded him for a full six months for how Yinggao handled the situation.

"No," Zhang Chengguang said with a smile.

"What is that?" Zhu Xuan thought for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up. "Xiao Ming is in love!"

Zhang Mingcheng's hand trembled, almost dropping the phone. "No!" Zhu Xuan stared at him. "Really no?"

Zhang Mingcheng affirmed, "Really not!"

Zhu Xuan nodded, "That's good. Li Hongxia introduced me to a new girl in her bureau. She comes from a good family and is pretty. I'll introduce her to you later so you can have a good chat with her. It would be best to arrange a meeting this weekend."

Zhang Mingcheng: ? ? ?

"I won't see him!" Zhang Mingcheng resolutely refused.

Just kidding, he obtained the Thunder Seed, learned the truth about the so-called blessed land, and also established contact with several young people from the Great Luo Palace, learning that Fang Zhanqing of the Shangqing Sect had married the Snow Maiden.

There are beautiful and charming female ghosts over there, and pure and alluring female demons. This is the place where we, the young Taoists, can show our prowess. How can we marry a mortal in the modern world?

Young people from the Celestial Master's Mansion, Chunyang Sect, Shangqing Sect, and Lingbao Sect are all preparing to find their other half in another world. As a representative of the new generation of Taiping Dao, how can he fall behind?
But Zhang Mingcheng's decisive refusal left Zhu Xuan completely bewildered. She remembered that her son did not refuse blind dates and had even met a few before. Why did he refuse so decisively without even talking to her this time?

Zhu Xuan couldn't help but look at Zhang Chengguang, "Dad, what exactly happened?"

Zhang Chengguang smiled without saying a word, took out two rosewood bracelets from his pocket, and gave one to Zhu Xuan and one to Zhang Zhixue. "Each of you should wear one of these golden bracelets close to your body. Do not take them off unless you are taking a bath."

Zhang Zhixue knew his stuff. He took the bracelet and looked at it, then asked, "Is this sandalwood? Dad, where did you get it?"

Zhu Xuan noticed the runes on the bracelet. "Is it Master Faben?"

“No.” Zhang Chengguang shook his head, then said with a smile, “Xiaoming and I will be leaving for a while, and we are not sure when we will be back.”

Zhang Zhixue remained completely bewildered.

My father spent his whole life in Cangcheng, the farthest he ever went was Yandu, and my son returned to Cangcheng only after he was able to settle down in Yandu.

Why would two people who consider Cangcheng their home suddenly want to leave?
Zhang Zhixue's expression turned serious. "Dad, what exactly happened?"

Seeing their expressions, Zhang Chengguang laughed heartily, then said to Zhang Mingcheng, "Tell them!"

Zhang Mingcheng had already ordered dinner. He put down his phone and said with a grin, "Dad, do you know why I don't want to stay in Yandu?"

"I just love being at home," Zhang Zhixue said.

"I can't bear to leave my mom!" Zhu Xuan said immediately.

“Um…that’s all right.” Zhang Mingcheng nodded. “But the main problem is that the atmosphere in Yandu is not good, and it’s not suitable for my cultivation.”

"Cultivation?" Zhang Zhixue and his wife remained bewildered.

Zhu Xuan knew nothing, but Zhang Zhixue seemed to realize something and couldn't help but ask, "The Taiping Jing?"

Zhang Mingcheng grinned, and a talisman appeared in his hand. With a gentle shake, it spontaneously combusted without wind, turning into a spark that instantly touched Zhang Zhixue's forehead.

Zhang Zhixue was startled, and then immediately felt a clearing in his mind, as if he had been washed by a stream of clear water, and his whole being became much more transparent.

“This is…” Zhang Zhixue looked at the two of them in disbelief.

Zhu Xuan's eyes widened in surprise, and she exclaimed, "Was that strange phenomenon of yellow sky and blue clouds just now because of you?"

“Excellent!” Zhang Mingcheng formed a hand seal and said solemnly, “The Azure Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise, the year is Jiazi, great fortune will come to the world!”
