Under One Person: I am the Master of Maoshan

Shen Yan looked at Zhang Dong solemnly and clasped his hands, "Thank you, Brother Zhang, for trusting me so much. You and I, brothers, will go through the national crisis together and bring peace to the world."

"Together we will face the national crisis and restore peace to the world"

The two men stood with their hands clasped together, and the gears of the 937th Brigade began to turn successfully.

You Ke and You Shou looked at the two of them and also felt moved.

Afterwards, the few of them agreed that Zhang Dong would send Lin Zifeng back to the mountain, and when Shen Yan returned from Jiangxi, he would go up the mountain to visit him and take Zhang Dong with him to rush to the New 1st Regiment.

Shen Yan and his four companions parted ways in Hubei. He felt it was a pity that he didn't take Lin Zifeng along as well. The main reason was that Lin Zifeng was still too young, only about eleven or twelve years old, and Shen Yan couldn't bear to drag such a child into the battlefield.

On the train from Taiyuan to Linfen, four Japanese people with fringe hairstyles were chatting in a compartment. There was a large box at the feet of each of them, and no one knew what was inside.

"Mr. Takagi, it's finally our turn as the Yagyu Armor School to take the stage. We want to let those untouchables holding fire sticks know that the dignity of the samurai cannot be violated," said one of the Japanese with a confident look in his eyes.

The Japanese man called Takagi-kun also laughed out loud: "Yes, we have to teach those Japanese civilians with guns how to fight, for the glory of our Yagyu-ryu"

A conspiracy against the new group is unfolding.

Three days later, Shen Yan and his companions arrived in Nanchang City. Following the address given by Mu Yun, they came to a shop with the words "Tian Gong" written on it. When they entered the shop, the shop assistant hurriedly came up to them and said, "Sir, what kind of furniture do you want to buy?"

Shen Yan smiled gently: "I want to see the old hall master"

"Who are you?"

"Shen Yan from Maoshan came to visit Master Zhao"

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper nearby came forward hastily and said, "We didn't know that the young master was coming. We're sorry for not welcoming you in person. Please forgive us." After saying that, he extended his hand and led Shen Yan and the other two to the back hall.

Arriving in front of a huge wooden door, the shopkeeper gathered his Qi and stretched out his hand towards the pepper toad that was holding the door knocker. A creaking sound was heard, and the door opened to the left and right.

Shen Yan walked in and saw that there were clusters of houses in the huge courtyard, which looked like a simple courtyard from the outside.

"It seems that there is a blocking magic weapon or formation that blocks the entire place." Shen Yan thought as he followed the shopkeeper forward.

"Master, please wait a moment. Let me go in and report."

Shen Yan asked Xiang Youke secretly: "Have you figured out what it is? Do you think it is a formation or a magic weapon?"

You Ke shook his head: "I don't think it's a formation. Except for the flow of Qi when the door is opened, the whole yard is the same as usual. The door should be a magic weapon."

As the two were whispering, two young men came out to greet them: "Zhao Pingshan and Zhao Tianhai greet the young master. Please come in."

Shen Yan hurriedly returned the greeting: "Brother Zhao, there is no need to be so polite. I came to visit you without any hesitation. I hope Brother Zhao will forgive me."

After a few polite words, Shen Yan followed the two people into the main hall.

An old man was sitting on a grand master's chair in the main hall. Shen Yan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Maoshan disciple Shen Yan greets the old hall master."

"You Ke and You Shou pay their respects to the old hall master."

Hall Master Zhao smiled and said, "Haha, Little Master, please stand up. Pingshan, serve tea to the three distinguished guests."

After the guests and hosts sat down, Shen Yan hurriedly thanked them, "Thank you, Master Zhao, for your generous help. Your sect's Devouring Sac is like a magical item. With it, our army's marching and transportation can be said to have solved a big problem."

Hall Master Zhao laughed and said, "As long as it's useful, you don't have to be so polite, Little Master. Aren't you curious about why I invited you here, old man?"

Shen Yan replied sweetly: "It is a blessing for me that Master Zhao has summoned me. If there is anything I can do for you, I will do my best."

After hearing this, Hall Master Zhao laughed out loud: "The old mountain master really accepted a good disciple. I asked the young mountain master to come here to ask for a favor."

"You say"

Hall Master Zhao waved towards Tianhai, and he came up with a wooden tray and placed it in front of Shen Yan.

Shen Yan's eyes lit up as he looked at it. There were eight swallowing sacs, a small clock with an ancient shape, and a long strip wrapped in red cloth.

"Master Xiaoshan, I admire your heroic deeds after coming down the mountain. These little gadgets are my contribution to the war of resistance. I am not good at fighting with others, but the craftsmanship passed down by you is still acceptable."

Shen Yan grinned and said embarrassedly: "Old Hall Master, you are too polite. I feel ashamed of this."

Hall Master Zhao nodded and said, "Master Xiao Shan, you don't have to be polite. I have an unwelcome request. I heard that Baicaotang has a recipe for calming the mind and replenishing qi. I want to ask for it for Tiangongtang. The craftsmanship of refining instruments in Tiangongtang is too mentally demanding, so I want to ask you for this recipe."

"I know that the secret recipe of Baicaotang is never passed on to others, and I don't have much contact with Master Shen, so I want to try it from you. Of course, if it's inconvenient for Master Xiaoshan, you can still take these things. They are for use in the war of resistance, so don't mix them up."

Shen Yan thought about it for a while, because he had no intersection with his family's business, and his family's skills only included the basic medical skills of the Thirteen Ghost Needles and the basic Qi-refining technique.

But after hesitating for a while, he finally said, "Old Hall Master, I accept the offer. I will definitely ask my family for the prescription to calm your nerves. Then you can ask Pingshan or Brother Tianhai to go back with me, and I will ask for it from my family and give it to you in person."

It's worth it to exchange a prescription for the support of Tiangongtang.

Shen Yan thought: "Using the recipe at home to exchange for favors, in Jiang Wen's words, our hearts are open. Why are we open? Because we have no self in our hearts. We are all doing the great cause of expelling the Japanese invaders."

After listening to this, Hall Master Zhao was also happy and said, "That's great. Then let Pingshan go with you."

After the matter was settled, Shen Yan asked what the two magical instruments on the plate were.

Hall Master Zhao stroked his beard and said, "That little bell was tinkered with by me in my spare time. It's a protective magic weapon. How much it can withstand depends on your cultivation level. I can guarantee that even if the defense is penetrated, this magic weapon will not be damaged."

Shen Yan nodded, opened the long strip of red cloth again, and found a Taoist magic tool "Tianpeng Ruler" inside.

He only saw that the magic weapon was more than one foot long, with four talismans engraved on the four sides: "The Immortal Binding Talisman, the Five Thunder Talisman, the Shangqing Five Strong Men Talisman, and a Tianpeng Curse."

Taoism has a saying: "Thunder magic is the ancestor of all magic, and without Tianpeng Mantra, you cannot use thunder magic." With the blessing of Tianpeng Mantra, the effectiveness of all talismans will be doubled.

Shen Yan's current cultivation level is not enough to freely use the Tianpeng Curse, but the Tianpeng Ruler makes up for this deficiency. This magic weapon can be said to be tailor-made for him.

He was somewhat curious about how this magic weapon appeared in Tiangong Hall, and it was difficult to refine this Tianpeng ruler without the combination of Taoist talismans and weapon refining masters, so he asked the old hall master with doubts: "Old hall master, where did you get this Tianpeng ruler?"

It’s not that he looked down on the old hall master. He could feel the power of the talisman above, which was definitely not something a sect like Tiangongtang could possess.

"Haha, Master Xiaoshan, this magic weapon was specially customized for you by your master."

"My master?"

The old hall master nodded and said, "Six years ago, he came down the mountain to travel and came to my Tiangong Hall to ask me to refine a magic weapon together. He left four talismans and left. It took me several years of hard work to polish it."

"Before he left, your master left a message, saying that one day when you go down the mountain to fight, I will give this item to you. In exchange for this magic weapon, your master used the Taoist Calming Mantra to exchange it with me. Little mountain master, please don't let your master down."
