Chapter 117 A visit
In the evening, inside Siming Palace.
Jiang Mo held the fountain pen he had bought from overseas and danced quickly on the grayish-white letter paper, quickly writing down the items that needed to be purchased.
Immediately, he took out the gold given by the head of Wanxiang Hall some time ago, along with a folded and sealed piece of letter paper, and handed it to Lu Jin.
"Please make the trip, Jin'er."
"Uncle Master, don't worry. There is a post station set up by our family in the town at the foot of the mountain. I will be back soon and it won't take long."
Lu Jin took the heavy box of gold and the letter paper, responded briefly, and left in a hurry.
Si Chong, who was standing by, watched him leave, a curious smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth. While pouring tea, he asked:
"Junior brother, what are you going to buy this time?"
"A batch of training ammunition and M1 anti-tank rocket launchers. They are quite powerful. Leave them in the sect so that the disciples can get more familiar with them. They may be useful in the future."
"Is it for the sake of the precious land in the back mountain?"
Si Chong had some guesses, but he was not sure. He just agreed, "It wouldn't hurt to prepare more firearms. After all, the Sanyi Sect doesn't practice talismans, and doesn't have the means to manipulate the qi to isolate the mountains and forests. It's always right to prepare for a rainy day."
Jiang Mo took out a white Qi diagram from his arms. It was transparent in shape and as thick as colored glass. It was almost a reflection of the entire Trinity Sect. One could even see dozens of blue Qi dots scattered around, representing the activities of the sect members.
"What is this?!"
His pupils seemed to tremble slightly. After receiving the clue, a storm of shock rose in his heart. This drawing was actually a real-time miniature of the Trinity Gate.
"Qi Tu? That's what I'll call it for now."
Jiang Mo took a sip of tea and said, "Whether it's the life and property of my disciples, or the Five Prefectures' treasured land, as long as they are within the sect, I have to keep an eye on them."
"Since I don't know the art of numbers and the arrangement of the magic array, I simply used my true Qi to cover the entire Trinity Gate, and then used the real-time feedback to form a picture of the Qi to observe the eight directions."
"If there are outsiders visiting in the future, or people who are blinded by greed and covet the precious land in the back mountain, I know their whereabouts very well, so it will be easy to intercept them."
The plain words seemed to shock his heart. A pair of eyes filled with brilliance stared straight at the Qi diagram in his hand. He said yes repeatedly, and the worries in his heart disappeared in an instant.
"Great! Junior brother, you are so thoughtful. I am ashamed of myself."
"You are too modest, Senior Brother. This map will be hung on the fourth floor of the Sutra Library in the future. You can arrange disciples to monitor it every day. If it is cold or hot, don't let the disciples guard outside the door. It will be too hard for them."
"it is good."
Si Chong couldn't put the Qi diagram down and was satisfied no matter how he looked at it. With this item, he had a clear view of the entire Sanyi Gate. He didn't have to worry about missing the best time to gather when monsters attacked the mountain again.
"Junior brother, it must be difficult for you to create this Qi diagram, right?"
“I spent several days refining it and tried to make it as good as possible.”
Jiang Mo did not hide the production process and shared the forging method with his senior brother. After all, after breaking through the third level, as they become more proficient in controlling Qi, sooner or later they will discover and understand how to use Qi.
After listening to this, Si Chong had a complicated expression and expressed some regret:
"Unfortunately, we don't have any cultivation manuals such as divination and Qimen. Otherwise, with your ability, you would have more to show."
"It's okay, this is enough."
Jiang Mo didn't care. He raised the cup to offer tea and drank it down his throat.
The next day.
Zhang Zhiwei and Tian Jinzhong from Longhu Mountain came from afar and brought some tea cakes and pastries to visit.
"Dong Dong Dong!!!"
The red door was knocked.
After a while, Zhuge Yu came to open the door. He looked at the two Taoist priests in front of him and noticed their Taoist robes from the Tianshi Mansion. He was stunned for a moment and asked, "You two, are you looking for Junior Brother Lu?"
"Yes, please inform me, little brother."
Zhang Zhiwei introduced himself and handed the letter written by Lu Jin to Zhuge Yu for inspection.
"Oh! It's you, Senior Brother Zhang. Junior Brother Lu specifically told me yesterday. Come, I'll take you to see him."
After that, Zhuge Yu took Zhang Zhiwei and Tian Jinzhong to the shooting range in the back mountain.
"Junior Brother Lu!!! Your friend is here!!"
After bringing the person here, Zhuge Yu shouted towards a figure not far away.
"Da da da!!!"
The sound of gunfire one after another echoed in the mountains and forests.
Lu Jin was carrying a ZB26 light machine gun and firing at the stone puppets in the distance. The dense bullets hit the target's head every time.
Hearing the call, he turned around subconsciously and saw that it was a friend who came to visit. He walked over quickly and greeted him warmly:
"Brother Zhang, Brother Tian, I'm sorry for not coming to meet you in person! Please forgive me!"
The two people from the Tianshi Mansion looked at the Sanyi disciples who were training in gun shooting and couldn't help but be stunned: "Yes, Lao Lu, your style is quite tough."
"Come on, Brother Zhang, Brother Tian, want to give it a try?"
Lu Jin generously invited Zhang Zhiwei and Tian Jinzhong to shoot together, and helped them choose guns, including shotguns, machine guns, sniper rifles, revolvers, and submachine guns.
"So this is what you and I were keeping in suspense, Old Lu. That's really mean of you."
"There are too many of this kind, Junior Brother Lu." Tian Jinzhong looked at the guns curiously, quite surprised.
The cold metal had a special texture and a different feeling when held in the hand. They were all foreign products and were completely different from the crude guns he had seen before.
Zhang Zhiwei picked up a heavy machine gun, which was very handy. He smiled happily and urged Lu Jin to teach him how to use it. "Here, Brother Zhang, aim at this, overlap the two, and aim at the target you want to lock on."
Lu Jin pointed at the crosshairs and peephole and explained. He also demonstrated in front of Zhang Zhiwei how to pull the trigger, control the gun and other basic operations.
"Wow! That's really interesting. Let me try it."
Zhang Zhiwei, who couldn't suppress his curiosity, took the heavy machine gun and held the gun tightly with his two big hands with distinct joints and bulging veins.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, put them on the horizontal line, aligned the crosshairs with the stone doll, and pulled the trigger.
"Da da da!!!"
Zhang Zhiwei, who was well prepared, suppressed the recoil of the machine gun. Dense lines of fire poured out from the muzzle and swept out in an instant at an extremely fast speed, smashing the head of the stone puppet in the distance into pieces.
"Phew—what a relief, Old Lu! You should have told me earlier about hiding this good thing!"
"etc."
Zhang Zhiwei suddenly thought of something, and looked suspicious: "When you guys were killing the Japanese bandits before, you didn't just carry your guns over, did you?"
"Not only that, in order to kill more people, we also have grenades. Those things are very powerful, and they can blow up a large area."
After saying that, Lu Jin took out a few grenades from a wooden box beside him.
At one point, Zhang Zhiwei and Tian Jinzhong were extremely envious, and felt that the Sanyi School was really rich and could afford everything.
An hour passed in the blink of an eye. After Lu Jin completed the day's training, he took Zhang and Tian away from the shooting range.
Regarding Tian Jinzhong's request to meet Jiang Mo, Lu Jin reluctantly told him:
"Brother Tian, you came at an inopportune time. After having dinner with us last night, my uncle went into seclusion. I don't want to disturb him."
"Is that so?"
Tian Jinzhong felt a little regretful, then smiled in relief:
"Then I will just treat it as accompanying my senior brother to visit. It's not bad. I also tried a lot of foreign guns. It was really interesting. Thank you for the hospitality, Junior Brother Lu."
"polite."
"What about me? Old Lu? What should I do?" Zhang Zhiwei was secretly anxious. He didn't expect that he had made a mistake as he happened to meet Master Jiang in seclusion.
Lu Jin seemed to hear his mumbling through his belly, especially when he saw his friend's embarrassment of wanting to say something but not being able to do anything, he couldn't help but smile and tease:
"As for Brother Zhang's thoughts on coming all the way here, my uncle has instructed me to take you to the back mountain for some training."
"Back mountain?!" Zhang Zhiwei was puzzled.
"Correct."
At this point, Lu Jin looked at Tian Jinzhong a little embarrassedly:
"Brother Tian, I'm sorry. I didn't expect you to come this time. I didn't ask for my uncle's opinion, so I didn't dare to let you in. Please forgive me."
"Ah? It's okay. I'll wait for you here."
Tian Jinzhong fully understood the reason for doing this. After all, his senior brother was different from him and seemed to have asked for instructions in advance.
"Okay, then I'll trouble Senior Brother Zhuge to entertain you."
After properly arranging a resting place for Tian Jinzhong, Lu Jin took Zhang Zhiwei along the path in the woods to the Five Prefectures treasure land in the back mountain.
"Hey, Lao Lu, are you going to take me to find your uncle?"
Zhang Zhiwei knew the importance of seclusion, so he stopped and said rationally:
"Forget it. I'll do the same thing next time. If my master finds out about disturbing Master Jiang's practice, he'll scold me again."
"Don't be silly, my uncle has no time to care about you;"
Lu Jin burst out laughing and explained the reason:
"It's just that you helped us kill the monster before, and Uncle Master thought that we have a good relationship, so he let you use the treasure land to hone your golden light."
"Treasure land. What is that?"
The more Zhang Zhiwei listened, the more confused he became. He had originally only planned to break into the area covered by thunderclouds outside the Trinity Gate, but he did not expect that by the time he got there, the thunderclouds had already dispersed.
"Brother Zhang."
Lu Jin's tone became particularly serious. He turned his head and stared at Zhang Zhiwei. Knowing that he was a big mouth and couldn't keep his words to himself, he still sighed and emphasized:
"Next, the place I'm going to take you to is related to the continuation of our sect's foundation. I hope you can keep it a secret, okay?"
"to make."
Zhang Zhiwei was brief and to the point, and promised not to leak the information.
"The Cang Lei Treasure Land is an eight-diagram furnace cave created by my uncle. It contains the Qi Lei that he personally laid out for us, the second-level reverse-rebirth disciples, to hone and practice."
"Brother Zhang and I have sparred many times, so you should know the reverse life state I built, right?"
"know."
Listening to Lu Jin's introduction, Zhang Zhiwei had a flash of inspiration, and thinking of his own need to hone his golden light, he blurted out:
"Could it be that Sect Leader Jiang wants to use the treasure land to destroy your reverse life again and again, temper your bodies, and thus improve the solidity of your reverse life state?"
"Correct."
"Golden Light and Reverse Life have certain similarities. Theoretically, if Brother Zhang wants to use the treasure land to hone Golden Light, it is also possible;"
"But you must be careful. The Qi thunder set up by the uncle should not be underestimated. Brother Zhang, once your golden light is broken, remember to get out, otherwise it will be bad if you are injured."
As they were talking, Lu Jin had already walked over the winding stone steps and brought Zhang Zhiwei to the cave.
