It was dawn.
As the sun was about to rise, the eastern sky was white with a hint of purple.
In the small courtyard, Wu Ming wore a linen robe with a bamboo crown on his head. He looked relaxed and indifferent. He faced the sky and breathed in and out purple gas, which turned into a mouthful of golden liquid. He swallowed it three times.
After an hour, Wu Ming did not stop. He came to the center of the small courtyard and slowly opened his stride to perform a set of palm techniques.
Whoosh! Chi!
Between the two palms, there was the sound of wind and thunder, the sound of tigers and leopards. It even rippled the bones and cleansed the marrow. There were traces of electric light, and the steps were marvelous.
"Hmm … This set of Five Thunder Palm Technique seems to have internal training. If a martial artist practices it, they can use the thunder to refine their bones and enter the Innate Realm. It is also beneficial to the Five Qis Unification of Daoists. Not bad!"
After performing the set of palm techniques, Wu Ming's face showed satisfaction.
Although the Thunder spell was the best in Daoism, it was difficult to practice. From the beginning, it required aptitude, and there were seven rules that one should not practice and eight should not pass on.
Even if one were to pass on the technique, it was very troublesome to get started.
First, one had to pass on the seal or make the seal. It was to use peach wood or jujube wood that had been struck by Thunder Fire to create the Thunder Seal. For example, the Great Thunder Fire Seal, Xiandu Absorption Seal, Evil Severing Seal, Five Thunder Envoys Seal, Five Thunder Train Seal, etc.
After that, one had to practice carefully during the thunderstorm. He used the Thunder Fire Technique and the Lightning Fire Technique to accumulate the power of thunder and store it in the seal. When he used it, he would use it with his thoughts and Mind Change Technique. Occasionally, he would use the Summoning Thunder spell, Palm Technique Eye, and Polaris Steps to fight. Only then would it be the real Thunder Spell!
After practicing this set, he would spend almost half of his life.
However, this "Five Thunder Palm Technique" was created by a rogue cultivator who entered the Dao through martial arts. It did not have so many rules, but instead coincided with the Dao of martial arts. It was based on the concept of "the universe of the human body, Yin and Yang are naturally integrated, and the core is self-contained. Thus, one's body can generate lightning and the palm can release Thunder." It was quite to Wu Ming's liking.
"However, in order to advance this technique, I still have to ascend the perilous peak on a Thunder Night and guide a wisp of the Power of Thunder down as a primer. Alternatively, I can collect other objects of Thunder to aid me …"
Wu Ming couldn't help but think of the description on this palm technique.
The wandering cultivator who had created this method called himself Daoist Master Heavenly Thunder. Before he had attained the dao, he had also been a secular cultivator, which was why he had created this method of using martial arts to enter the dao.
According to him, the cultivation of the Five Thunder Palm could be divided into five levels: Heaven, Earth, Cloud, Water, and Dou.
As long as one reached the Thunder Realm, one would be able to fight against a Daoist Master. It was said that the highest level of the Heavenly Thunder Technique was the fusion of martial arts and Dao, the ultimate realm of the Martial God. One could compete with a Heavenly Master!
Of course, this was what the secret manual said. As for its veracity, Wu Ming still had some doubts.
Moreover, this was a pure Daoist technique of conquest, not the foundation of the Dao. Even though it was extremely powerful, it was still much weaker than the "Huangting Yin Talisman Scripture".
However, Wu Ming liked it very much.
"Right now, my Five Thunder Palm is still at the initial level of" Dou Thunder ". If I want to enter the level of the" Water Thunder Technique ", I will need to guide more and more Power of Thunder into my body …"
Wu Ming pondered for a moment. "For other Daoists, they all have to risk being struck by the Five Thunder Strikes of Heaven in order to guide Thunder. However, in the main hall, there are Thunder Stones, artifacts, and even elixirs that contain a wisp of the Power of Thunder in exchange …"
At the thought of this, he had the urge to cry.
Although he had gained a lot from the previous mission, the Merit Points were almost enough to make him cry.
A mere 200 Merit Points could only be used for a few times of entering with artifacts. This made Wu Ming seriously consider whether he should give up some of his "stock" in exchange for Merit Points.
"The" Dou Thunder "realm is just a simple movement with the sound of wind and thunder, which is nothing. However, the" Water Thunder "realm is the combination of wind, rain, and Thunder. I can use the Power of Thunder to hurt people … As for the" Cloud Thunder ", it is a Cloud Seal Talisman that forms a Thunder spell in the sea of consciousness. When he makes a move, he will truly enter the Dao, turning from martial arts to Thunder spell …"
Wu Ming pondered for a while and no longer had any doubts about his path forward.
"Wu Tiehu!"
"Yes, I am here!"
Wu Tiehu naturally had morning exercises as well. However, when he saw Wu Ming's terrifying skills, he was so frightened that he stood at the side respectfully.
He knew very well that with the current Wu Ming, it would only take him a few moves to kill him.
"Prepare the carriage. We're leaving the city for the Dragon Gate Gorge!" Wu Ming let out a long breath.
He had promised Wu Qing that he would leave. At the very least, he had to put on a show.
The Dragon Gate Gorge was the location of the Dragon's Gate Meeting. It was also the location where the White Flood Dragon was sealed. It was extremely important. Since it was close to the 2nd of February, the Dragon Energy would start to move.
…
On the official road.
The cold winter had just ended, but there were already traces of spring on the roadside. Wu Ming liked this kind of vitality that was stored under the harsh cold. He slowly opened the carriage and looked around.
A bit of spring chill was naturally useless. On the carriage, the young man looked frail, but his eyes were as bright as the stars.
"He's here!"
At the same time, the corner of Wu Ming's mouth also moved, revealing a strange smile.
"Look carefully, it's indeed him!"
A rider following behind the carriage saw the young man. His eyes narrowed, and he quickly changed direction. When he reached a pine tree, he secretly released a crimson bird.
This bird was extremely intelligent, and it could fly extremely fast. In an instant, it overtook the carriage and crossed over ten li. It stopped in the backyard of a tea shop beside the official road.
A slender hand grabbed the bird. After reading the message, a smile appeared on his face. "Here comes the idea!"
"Everyone, get ready. Old Master's orders can't go wrong!"
The one who said this was a green-robed swordsman. His face looked weathered, and his eyebrows were sharp like swords. He had a heroic air about him.
Beside him, there were a few people dressed in strange clothes and strange clothes.
"Hehe … Since you, Crimson Drill Sword, have come personally, it will definitely be a piece of cake!" An amiable-looking old granny wearing a white robe said with a smile.
For some reason, the others around her kept a large distance from her, as if this old granny was some kind of scourge.
This young man's surname was Zhan, and his name was Hongzhao. In his early years, he was a hero who roamed the pugilistic world. He was famous in the nearby counties, but for some reason, he was now in the Wang Mansion as a guest.
The others also had their own unique skills. They were roped in by the Wang Family. This time, they were all mobilized, showing how much importance they attached to them.
"Since that's the case, I'll overstep my boundaries!"
Zhan Hongzhao cupped his fists and said, "Witch, go to the backyard to boil water. Ghost Servant and I will be the waiter. Mei Niang will be the waitress … We are usually served well by Old Master. As the saying goes, soldiers are trained for a thousand days to be used in a single day. If we fail, you know what will happen!"
Although his words were not harsh, the few of them shuddered at the same time. "We don't dare!"
"That's good!"
Zhan Hongzhao smiled faintly. He could be considered to be quite a talented manager. After a few arrangements, the tea shop also opened for business. More customers entered in twos and threes to drink tea.
"Sigh …"
However, when Zhan Hongzhao saw this scene, he sighed a few more times.
Once one entered the pugilistic world, one had no choice. It was a famous saying, but at his level, he knew that the so-called heroes of the pugilistic world, the black and white, were like a joke in front of the general trend.
So what if the 18 Green Forest Strongholds were impressive? Who didn't know that they were the dogs of the County Lord's family?
Those heroes who were mountain cabinets were even more miserable. From time to time, because they provoked people they shouldn't provoke, or robbed goods they shouldn't rob, their entire families were wiped out.
In fact, even if they behaved themselves and stayed in the city, the law could be enforced at any time. It was chilling!
In the past few years, Zhan Hongzhao had seen a lot, so he naturally felt sad. After choosing again and again, he finally joined the Wang Family and became a guest official.
It sounded nice, but in fact, who didn't know that he was just a high-level servant?
But so what?
With the Wang Family's brand, no one would think about the hundreds of acres of fertile land in the family, and he could also take care of his family. A few of his brothers who were trapped in the Black Prison were finally released.
"Although this kind of life isn't ideal, it's satisfying. I only hope that it can last forever, and no one can destroy it! No one! "
Thinking of this, Zhan Hongzhao touched his belt, and a hint of killing intent appeared in his eyes.
…
After an unknown period of time, a carriage slowly appeared at the end of the official road, getting closer and closer.
"Young Master, there's a tea shop in front. Do you want to rest for a while?"
Wu Tiehu asked.
"Perfect!"
Wu Ming looked at the tea shop, and his eyes flickered with a hint of a smile.
"Young Master, please come in!"
The one selling tea on the street was a young woman. She was wearing a red cotton-padded jacket, but the buttons on her chest were unbuttoned, revealing a large area of snow-white and delicate skin. Her eyes were full of charm, and there was a hint of seduction in them. When she saw Wu Ming, her eyes lit up, and she greeted him.
The tea shop on the official road was a little shabby, so it only had a shed, and there were a few long tables and a few benches inside. That was all.
At this moment, there were already people at the few tables inside. One table seemed to be occupied by merchants, and the other table was occupied by a grandfather-granddaughter pair. A white-haired old man was accompanied by a fair-skinned little girl. Her bright black eyes were rolling around, and she looked sly and cute.
"Two bowls of hot tea first, and if there are any snacks, feel free to serve them!"
Wu Tiehu entered the tea shop, and first politely wiped the long bench with his sleeve. He invited Wu Ming to sit down, and then opened his mouth to drink.
This combination was very much like a local tycoon traveling with an evil servant. In fact, it was more or less the same. After attracting attention for a while, they immediately returned to normal.
"Alright!"
The waitress smiled and went to the back hall. Not long after, she came up with two bowls of tea soup and a few plates of snacks on the table.
When Wu Ming looked at the tea bowls, he shook his head.
In this world, there were many ways to drink tea. The one on the table now was' tea soup ', which was made by grinding tea leaves, boiling them with water, and adding ginger and garlic. It was most suitable for drinking in winter, and if conditions were met, brown sugar, milk, and other things might be added.
"Wait!"
Wu Tiehu was about to drink it, but Wu Ming reached out to stop him, and he curled his lips.
