Chapter 5: That sickly guy is actually a master of metaphysics?!
The Taoist priest and his senior brother were also stunned when they arrived.
"This...was made by Huaizhi?" the master stammered, then suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Oh dear, can his body withstand this power? Will this child be struck dumb?"
At this moment, the silver shield above Ji Huaizhi disappeared, and he turned around with a relatively calm expression.
"Master, senior brother, I..."
"Don't move, don't move! Are you feeling unwell anywhere?" My senior brother quickly came over to ask.
I circled around him and found that apart from being pale, he was otherwise fine.
"No, I just didn't expect the Heavenly Thunder Talisman I just drew to have such a big reaction." Ji Huaizhi looked a little embarrassed.
The others excitedly gathered around: "Senior Brother Ji, why are the talismans you draw so powerful?"
"Yeah, why can't I do it? Do you have some secret?"
Teach us!
"Yes, please teach us! Please, Senior Brother Ji!"
Ji Huaizhi was surrounded by a dense crowd, and because of the lack of air circulation, he couldn't help but cough.
The senior master frowned upon seeing this: "Alright, stop fooling around, your senior brother has already started coughing!"
"If anyone crowds around again, I'll let them try my new dish!"
The eldest disciple, Wang Gui, suddenly stepped forward and stood in front of Ji Huaizhi, saying, "Didn't you hear what our senior uncle said? Don't surround our junior brother like this. Didn't you see he's coughing?"
He stood beside Ji Huaizhi, still covered in dirt: "Junior brother, are you feeling better?"
Ji Huaizhi shook his head: "It's alright."
Seeing that he seemed fine, Wang Gui nodded and said seriously, "You like quiet, but these mischievous monkeys bother you all day long, so you must not be getting enough rest."
"How about this," Wang Gui coughed lightly, "you teach me, and once I've learned it, I'll teach my younger brothers."
Ji Huaizhi raised an eyebrow and looked at him.
The other junior brothers stared wide-eyed: "Senior Brother, you're so cunning!"
Master Wan'an said, "Alright, I know you are eager to learn. Your senior brother and I have something to discuss. You may leave now."
Everyone answered in unison: "Yes."
The junior disciple looked at the mountain and hesitated: "Master, Senior Brother Ji's courtyard wall has collapsed. Why don't we go find some bricks first? Senior Brother Ji's courtyard will definitely need to be repaired later."
The Taoist priest nodded: "Wangshan has thought this through. Why don't you find a few of your fellow disciples to go with you?"
“You’re still growing, let your senior brothers do the brick-moving work.”
"Understood, Master. We won't let our junior brother do any work."
Ji Huaizhi patted his junior brother's head.
After the other disciples left, Wan An looked at Ji Huaizhi and asked, "Did you just use the Heavenly Thunder Talisman?"
Ji Huaizhi nodded: "Yes, I just messed around with it."
"Any more? If not, draw another one." The Taoist priest and his senior master watched Ji Huaizhi draw the talisman.
Holding it in his hands, he sighed inwardly, "I didn't fully tap into your talent before." Then, suddenly thinking of his health, he thought, "It's truly a case of heaven being jealous of talent."
Wang Gui also tried drawing it once, then threw it out and shouted, "Broken!"
Another lightning strike occurred, though it lacked the power of his junior brother's, but it was still far more powerful than the previous Heavenly Thunder Talisman.
"Junior brother, you are truly amazing!" Wang Gui tried it and realized the difference in strength between them.
Ji Huaizhi accepted the praise: "Senior brother is not bad either, I just suddenly had an epiphany."
"Who knows, maybe one day my senior brother will also have an epiphany."
The strange phenomenon at Wan'an Taoist Temple was photographed and posted online. Some people said that the strange phenomenon at the temple must be very powerful!
Some people also speculated that someone from the Taoist temple had ascended to immortality.
Of course, some people say that the animals in Wan'an Mountain are very spiritual, and that some animals may be undergoing a tribulation of lightning.
There are all sorts of opinions online.
However, many people come to this Taoist temple to pray, after all, this strange phenomenon has alarmed the city.
It was even reported on the news.
The Ji family.
"Dad, are you aware of the strange phenomenon at Wan'an Mountain yesterday?" Ji Huaiming asked his father.
Ji Qingshan nodded: "I've heard about it. Judging from the picture, the direction should be a Taoist temple."
Ji Huaiming glanced at his father's expression: "Is it the Taoist temple where my eldest brother lives?"
Ji Qingshan nodded, then suddenly remembered something: "Master Wan'an called me yesterday afternoon and said that Huaizhi is not feeling well again and should not go down the mountain. He will have someone deliver the birthday gift."
Ji Huaiming was dissatisfied, but he didn't show it on his face.
Bai Yun frowned: "What about my son's surgery..."
Upon hearing this, Ji Huaiyuan immediately said, "He's not faking it, is he?"
"He won't live past twenty-eight anyway, so why not let him give his heart to my brother? That way, it'll be put to good use. How can you be so selfish?"
Ji Huaiming frowned and shook his head: "Yuanyuan, how can you talk like that? Your brother doesn't know about the heart condition yet..."
Thinking of something, he looked at his mother and said, "My eldest brother has been staying on the mountain for so many years, I guess he has some resentment in his heart."
Baiyun lowered her eyes, feeling sad when she mentioned her son.
Back then, everyone said he was exceptionally intelligent and destined for greatness in metaphysics, but unexpectedly...
Ji Huaiyuan: "What I said isn't wrong. He should be 26 years old now, right?"
Ji Qingshan and Bai Yun exchanged a glance.
Only then did it dawn on them that Ji Huaizhi had been living in the Taoist temple for over twenty years.
Mother Ji asked in a daze, "Has it been that long already?"
I wonder what he looks like now.
When he recalled his childhood, he couldn't even remember what he looked like back then.
“This was our oversight. We sent him up the mountain back then and haven’t contacted him for so long. Now we’re suddenly asking him to come home. We didn’t even consider that he might not want to.”
Bai Yun then looked at Ji Qingshan and said, "How about we go to Wan'an Mountain?"
Let's also take a look at the place where he has lived all these years.
Ji Qingshan nodded, recalling the strange phenomenon at Wan'an Mountain yesterday: "Let's go, it's been a long time since I had tea with Daoist Wan'an."
"By the way, what happened yesterday?"
Could it be that their Taoist temple has revealed some magical treasure again?
“Mom and Dad, I want to go too. After all, I’ve never met my older brother, but I need his help…” Ji Huaiming lowered his eyes: “I have to go, both out of courtesy and reason.”
“I’m going too. If he’s unwilling to give his heart to my brother, I’ll force him to go!”
“Yuanyuan, he’s still our older brother. Even if he doesn’t want to, he’s not wrong,” Ji Huaiming said gently and helplessly.
"As his younger siblings, we should also go and visit him."
Ji Huaiyuan felt that her older brother, who had been with her since childhood, was the best older brother in the world. What right did a good-for-nothing who was about to die have to be her older brother?
Ji Qingshan said with relief, "Don't worry, your older brother doesn't have two years left, why would he be unwilling?"
Ji Yao, who had been listening outside for a long time, couldn't help but sneer. How hypocritical.
As he was about to go in, he came in with a warm smile on his face again: "Big brother, what are you talking about?"
“Ji Yao, we’re planning to go to Wan’an Mountain tomorrow to visit Huai Zhi. He hasn’t seen his younger siblings in all these years,” Ji Qingshan said politely.
Ji Yao: "Really? Why don't I come along? I have a pretty good relationship with my nephew; we even exchanged letters recently."
"It's been so long since I've seen him, I really miss him."
Ji Qingshan nodded after listening.
He has a good relationship with Huaizhi, so he can offer some advice.
"Alright, let's set off tomorrow morning."
