The Wudang Junior Master

Chapter 220 A chat with Master Ye

Qingwei Palace.

Carrying manure, I could see Taoist Master Ye working in the fields not far away.

"Okay, enough chatting, I have to get to work. Remember to take a video when the time comes. I also want to see how majestic my big sister is."

[Okay, actually... I have one more thing to tell you, but since you're busy, forget it.]

"Tell me first, what's the matter?"

【About Tongtian Lu.】

"Well, let's do it tonight. We can video chat then."

【Row. 】

"Bye."

Putting the cell phone back in his pocket, Zhang Wuling carried the bucket and came to Ye Laodao.

Ye Laodao glanced at him and asked, "Did someone call you?"

"Yes, Zhang Lingyu from the Tianshi Mansion told me something." Zhang Wuling did not hide anything.

Ye Laodao suddenly realized: "I heard that he was also driven down the mountain by the old Taoist priest to gain experience?"

"Yes, but he was stupid and thought the old Taoist priest had really driven him away."

"You sound like an honest kid." Ye Laodao smiled, handed the hoe to Zhang Wuling, picked up the spoon and started applying fertilizer.

"Is this child following you now?"

The two of them started chatting while working, after all, they had nothing else to do.

"Well, I tricked him into joining the company, but he's staying at the Lu family now."

"Lu family? Lu Jin?"

"Yes, he said that Mr. Lu is going to hold a grand banquet soon..." Zhang Wuling briefly told Ye Laodao about it.

After listening to this, Ye Laodao said with some emotion: "Is that so? Trinity Sect, I haven't heard these three words in many years."

Zhang Wuling suddenly remembered that this Master Ye also lived to be a hundred years old and was also from that era.

"Master Ye, did you ever deal with the Trinity Sect in the past?"

Unexpectedly, Ye Laodao actually nodded and said, "We have communicated a few times, but at that time I was still a young Taoist priest, and my abilities were not that great."

Hearing this, Zhang Wuling immediately became interested.

After all, his Master Ye is also a 'non-plot' character he has met in this world.

Many stories, if viewed from an "outsider's" perspective, might reveal something new and interesting.

Not to mention Master Ye, even Master Zhou Meng is so so. As a character in the plot, he only appears in a few strokes.

It’s like, everyone knows that the old Taoist priest has ten disciples, but as for Wudang, apart from a few disciples of Zhou Shengwang, there are no other characters at all.

Wudang is still relatively good, but other sects are even worse. Some are mentioned briefly, and some don’t even get a mention.

But only when you are really in this world, you will find that there may be only one top master, but there are many masters below the top.

Do you really think that the sects and forces that still exist today are just there to do nothing?

"Master Ye, have you ever met the left gate chief back then?" Zhang Wuling asked curiously.

Ye Laodao nodded and said, "Yes, I have. Disciples from our various sects often communicate with each other. Sect Leader Zuo is not arrogant, so it is not difficult to meet him, unless he is in seclusion."

"Then, how powerful was this Zuo Menzhang's cultivation strength at that time?"

Taoist Master Ye scooped up a spoonful of manure and sprinkled it on the ground, saying slowly, "How would I know? Sect Leader Zuo doesn't often fight with others. He's very virtuous, and everyone knows he's a good person. As for his strength... there's little comment, but many people call him an immortal, so his cultivation must be very good."

"I heard that he had a fight with Wu Gensheng, the leader of Quanxing Sect, and died shortly afterwards?"

"Yes."

"Is Wu Gensheng so awesome?"

"This guy... is quite capable and can be considered an expert." Ye Laodao said calmly.

Zhang Wuling understood the implication and said, "From what you said, you don't think that Zuo Menchang died because of Wu Gensheng?"

"Oh, it's true that Zuo Menchang's affairs are closely related to this Wu Gensheng, but to say that he can beat Zuo Menchang is a joke."

"Oh, no one believed it at the time?"

"Yes, but most of them are skeptical. There are also people who don't believe it, like me, the old Taoist."

"Then... Master Ye, have you ever met Wu Gensheng?"

"I haven't seen him." Ye Laodao shook his head, "But I've heard of his ability. It's quite interesting. I think it's called the Divine Spirit. It can dissolve other people's Qi."

"It sounds very powerful." Zhang Wuling pretended not to know.

"It's strong, but it's not strong either."

Oh, that's a bit crazy!

Zhang Wuling leaned over and whispered, "Master Ye, if you were to encounter Wu Gensheng, would you be able to capture him?"

Ye Laodao turned his head and glanced at him, "Why are you so interested in these things, kid?"

"Because I'm a gossip!" Zhang Wuling said righteously.

“…” Ye Laodao was speechless.

"Master Ye, please tell me. Our work hasn't been delayed, has it?"

Taoist Ye shook his head and smiled: "How can I say this kind of thing? I have never encountered this Wu Gensheng before, but I heard that Zhang Huaiyi of the Tianshi Mansion suffered a loss at his hands. I guess... it should be no problem."

Zhang Wuling was surprised, "Master Ye, you were so powerful back then?!"

No, from the sound of it, this Master Ye knows Zhang Huaiyi?

However, Taoist Master Ye sighed, "What's so powerful about that? There's also Zhang Zhiwei in the Heavenly Master's Mansion. He's a real powerful person... Oh, that's the current Heavenly Master."

"Ahem, from what you said, you've competed with the old Heavenly Master?"

"Well, we have competed. After all, we are all disciples of the Dao Sect and both know thunder magic. It is normal for us to learn from each other."

"So... what's the winning rate?"

Hearing this, Ye Laodao's face twitched. After a pause, he said, "I've never won. That monster never used thunder magic when competing with others. It just flashed with golden light and rushed over to slap the opponent, or it stood still and waited for the opponent to finish before slapping him."

"Ahem." Zhang Wuling's gossipy heart could no longer be suppressed. "Have you ever competed with that Zhang Huaiyi?"

Ye Laodao nodded: "We've sparred before. This guy is very smart and has a high level of cultivation. But fighting him... I just don't feel comfortable."

"Then, between you and Zhang Huaiyi, who is stronger?"

"It depends on which aspect. As for the Thunder Method... I'll go with the old Taoist. After all, my Thunder Method is more complete than his. Moreover, I started practicing with my master when I was one year old. I have been practicing Qingwei Thunder Method since I was a child, so I have some advantages."

Taoist Master Ye thought for a moment and said, "Zhang Huaiyi's thunder technique is incomplete, and he hasn't been practicing it for long. If he had known the complete thunder technique, he wouldn't have been struck so miserably by the thunder I summoned."

"You were able to attract thunder back then?!"

"Haha, it's because I'm the only child." Taoist Ye smiled first, then felt a little lonely.

It was the same in Qingwei Palace back then, with only two people, but the conditions were even more difficult. The master and disciple wore Taoist robes full of patches, and even had to save lamp oil at night.

Later, when the Anti-Japanese War broke out, Wudang also contributed manpower to fight against the Japanese invaders.

There were only two people in Qingwei Palace. The master left him behind and went down the mountain alone, carrying the sword on his back. He never came back...

As for him, he is guarding Qingwei Palace and is now gray-haired.
