Chapter 123 Thunderfire Alchemy Hall
The sky was gray and the clouds were as black as ink.
On Wudang Mountain, however, there were countless tourists who braved the rain to climb the mountain.
It's all because someone posted a message online that the legendary spectacle, the Thunder and Fire Alchemy Hall, will appear.
This world is never short of people who want to join in the fun, let alone witness such a spectacle.
Zhang Qingguan also informed Gu Baifa that the Thunderfire Alchemy Hall would appear tonight, but there would also be dangers. Whether or not to go was entirely up to him.
Gu Qingyi, Yang Xi, and the others naturally went up the mountain.
"Of course I'll go too, otherwise what if Zhang Qing sets his sights on me?"
Gu Bai took Gu Xiaojiao with him and climbed the mountain together.
"With so many tourists, they must be hiding among them." Gu Qingyi looked up at the mountain peak.
Tourists flocked to Wudang Mountain, braving the rain to come.
"They won't dare to come out unless the water is stirred up," Yang Xi said coldly.
If there aren't many people, they can use grenades freely, but if there are too many, they can't.
Zhang Qingguan said helplessly, "Wudang Mountain has already notified everyone that it will be closed for a period of time, but these people seem to ignore it and still want to climb the mountain."
Gu Qingyi frowned: "This involves too many people. Not to mention whether they will be hurt, if we take action, the commotion will be too great."
"We've set up a cordon halfway up the mountain to try and stop them, but some people just can't be stopped."
Zhang Qingguan looked at Gu Qingyi and said, "Once they take action, the Bodhisattva will influence them and make them descend the mountain."
"Why not influence them now and make them leave?" Gu Xiaojiao asked.
"There are too many tourists now, I could never get them all down the mountain even if I worked myself to death." The Bodhisattva revealed: "They're doing this on purpose. They won't come out unless we take action."
Zhang Qingguan explained, "Although the old turtle and I have already made a plan, making too much noise will alert them. If they escape, or if we can't find them, it will be even more troublesome. We can only do as they want and lure them out."
Moreover, few of those who managed to reach the summit today are truly ordinary people; once we drag this out until nightfall, those ordinary people won't be able to endure it any longer and will naturally leave.
The group talked as they climbed the mountain.
When they reached the halfway point on the mountain, a large number of tourists had already gathered. Guo Jin and other security personnel, along with Taoist priests from Wudang Mountain, intercepted them there.
However, some people of high status, and with great courage, actually took a detour to climb the mountain.
Gu Bai glanced around and realized that the world had indeed changed. Not to mention that experts were everywhere, there were once countless athletes at the level of master athletes.
Gu Xiaojiao was insignificant in the eyes of this group of people.
Yang Xi pointed to the five people climbing the mountain in the distance: "Those are rock climbers, a group of hikers. I was really worried for them."
"High skill breeds boldness."
Gu Bai just smiled and didn't take it to heart.
That's how humans are; with just a little bit of luck, they think they're the chosen one.
Upon reaching the mountaintop, Zhuge Xingyun stood in front, while Liu Sheng stood behind him, holding an umbrella for him.
Upon seeing Zhang Qingguan arrive, Zhuge Xingyun smiled slightly: "I have long admired the name of Zhang Qingguan, the immortal of Wudang."
"Zhuge Xingyun of Wu'an, Sichuan Province, is a name that resonates like thunder in my ears," Zhang Qingguan said.
Zhuge Xingyun's expression changed: "You've heard my story?"
"You've heard my story too?" Zhang Qingguan said with a smile.
Zhuge Xingyun nodded slightly: "Listen to it repeatedly."
"Me too," Zhang Qingguan said.
"Do you need any help?" Zhuge Xingyun asked with a smile.
Zhang Qingguan asked in surprise, "You're here to help?"
"If you need to," Zhuge Xingyun said with his signature smile, "but someone as proud as you—"
"I need it so badly."
Zhang Qingguan quickly stepped forward and grasped his hand: "You are my savior, my dear brother. I entrust Wudang Mountain to you. I will treat you to tea afterward."
Zhuge Xingyun's smile froze, and he said awkwardly, "Are you begging me?"
"How about I kowtow to you?" Zhang Qingguan took two steps back, lifted his Taoist robe, and was about to kneel down.
Zhuge Xingyun quickly stopped him, saying, "No need, no need, I'll do my best."
Is this a deity from Wudang Mountain?
So shameless?
Shouldn't someone with a mysterious aura be arrogant?
"Is it not enough? Do you think I'm not sincere? No problem, I'll call that old bastard and everyone from Wudang Mountain over, and they'll all kowtow to you—"
"I will definitely give it my all," Zhuge Xingyun said through gritted teeth.
It's confirmed, he's shameless, no, strictly speaking, none of this group has any shame at all.
"Thank you so much. Please rest first. Mr. Gu, could you please take care of Fellow Daoist Zhuge for me?" Zhang Qingguan said hurriedly.
Yang Xi and his group's status as law enforcement officers was inappropriate, and a conflict had just occurred a few days ago.
Although Gu Bai extorted a million from him, Zhuge Xingyun didn't hit ordinary people because of his good security status.
"No problem. I've been making a wood carving of Zhuge Liang recently, and I'm sure it will sell well. I'd love to collaborate with Brother Zhuge."
Gu Bai took out a small wooden carving and handed it to Zhuge Xingyun: "Take a look, does it resemble him?"
"Isn't this my image? How did it become an ancestral wood carving?" Zhuge Xingyun frowned as he looked at the wood carving.
"What are you saying? I've never even met Zhuge Liang," Gu Bai said. "And you're a descendant of the Zhuge family, shouldn't we follow your example?"
Zhuge Xingyun: "..."
"Gu Xiaojiao, please introduce our art to our distinguished guest," Gu Bai said.
"Alright, Young Master Zhuge, look at this wood carving, it can even move on its own. We've installed batteries inside, so the feather fan can shake by itself. Besides that, there's also our CEO Gu's ingenious design."
"What design?"
"The Seven Star Lamp! We installed seven small light bulbs in the back so it can glow at night. Isn't that ingenious?"
Zhuge Xingyun: "————"
What should I do if I suddenly feel like hitting someone?
Gu Qingyi and the others exchanged glances, then dispersed to get busy.
They are to guard different locations.
Gu Xiaojiao spoke with great enthusiasm, repeatedly praising the materials, craftsmanship, and ingenious design.
Zhuge Xingyun was indeed very well-mannered; he didn't hit anyone.
Of course, it could also be because he didn't want to give another million.
Liu Sheng clenched his fists several times, glancing at his phone account every now and then, but didn't dare to make a move.
Gu Xiaojiao could also see their impatience, so he took out his phone, searched for Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and told the story of Zhuge Liang.
The two were relieved; who wouldn't want to hear about the great legends of their ancestors?
Gu Bai smiled as he poured the tea. This was the last packet of Yang Qi Tea; he had been saving it and hadn't drunk it yet, so they got a good deal.
Zhuge Xingyun had obviously drunk this tea before, so he wasn't surprised at all.
Gu Bai took out two more Qi and Blood Pills and put them in his mouth. These were just delivered by the Public Security Bureau, and he had bought thirty of them.
The effect is almost double that of before, and human technology has greatly improved.
Time passed, and the drizzle continued. Dark clouds gathered thicker and thicker over Wudang Mountain, but still did not fall.
The tourists at the foot of the mountain have already started to disperse because they can't get up, it's dark, and it's raining, so there's nowhere for them to camp.
By late at night, there were no ordinary people left on the mountain, only a few hundred tourists at the summit.
Some of these tourists are ordinary people who came to stay on the mountain a couple of days ago, but didn't come down because of the rain.
Gu Bai glanced at his phone: "It's about to start."
Zhuge Xingyun glanced at Gu Xiaojiao, who was still spitting as he spoke, and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'll go and get back to work. Goodbye."
After saying that, he couldn't wait to leave with Liu Sheng.
The thunder that had been building up for so long finally exploded.
The distant palace radiated brilliant golden light, dazzling and colorful, like a celestial palace, while terrifying lightning raged, awe-inspiring and awe-inspiring.
Thunderfire Refining Hall!
