Chapter 587: Longhu Mountain Tradition! Pindao Ping An Guanzhu
Longhu Mountain covers an area of thousands of miles. From a bird's eye view, the two mountains and rivers interweave like dragons and tigers, dividing the earth into two volumes: Yin and Yang.
It is said that when Taizu Taizu of the Great Qin Dynasty came to Longhu Mountain from afar, he said that there was a fairy atmosphere here, and that in three thousand years, great power would come out and overwhelm the heaven and earth.
At this time, there will be a calamity in the world, like dragons and tigers, but the sun will not rise.
It is precisely because of a verse by Taizu Taizu of the Great Qin that Longhushan was listed as one of the six Taoist sects in the world, and was the leader of the Taoist sect. It has been prosperous for many years, and its masters have never stopped.
Looking at ancient and modern times, among the great sects in the world, the only one with such grace is the dragon and the tiger ear.
"Master, is that Longhu Mountain? The mountain is as high as the clouds, and it is much more impressive than our mountain gate."
Thousands of miles away, in front of a ruined temple on a barren mountain, a Taoist boy looked at Longhu Mountain under the hazy night in the distance and couldn't help but sigh like this.
"Nonsense, that's the number one sect in the world." Su Beishan curled his lips and tugged at the already wrinkled Taoist robe, his eyes full of yearning.
When he was young, he also wanted to worship in Longhu Mountain, learn the supreme magic, subjugate demons, and leave immortal stories like his legendary ancestors.
However, the requirements for selecting disciples at Longhu Mountain are too stringent.
He lived a mediocre life. Even though he studied in the north and south and wandered east and west, he still failed to become a disciple of Longhu Mountain until he was forty years old.
Fortunately, Su Beishan established a Taoist temple on a hill outside Dongling City and became his own sect. Now, with this young apprentice, he can be regarded as a successor.
"Master, can we go up the mountain and have a look?" Su Ming said excitedly.
This was the first time he had traveled far since he was a child, and he came to Longhu Mountain, the Taoist Holy Land.
"Go up the mountain... The world is long and full of living beings. How many people want to climb this high mountain..." Su Beishan's eyes flashed with sadness.
Time is gone, spring is old, and he has no chance.
Thinking of this, the soft eyes fell on Su Ming. Seeing him, it was like seeing himself when he was young, full of vigor, like the sun rising in the east, maintaining passion and yearning for everything. .
"You still have a chance...one day, maybe you can really climb that mountain and worship the dragon and tiger."
Su Beishan whispered, this was his dream when he was young, and it is also Su Ming's goal now.
"Hahaha, Su Beishan, your Beishan Taoist temple only has two or three big cats and kittens, and you actually come to the [Taoist Spell Seminar] to join in the fun?"
At this moment, a burst of wild laughter came from a distance, with a hint of contempt in its wantonness.
Su Ming turned around and looked around. In the mountains and fields, a group of Taoist priests were riding tall horses, slowly approaching. They were well-dressed, and their robes were all trimmed with gold and made of brocade. They looked expensive at first glance.
Especially the middle-aged Taoist priest at the head, whose robe is light and even inlaid with East China Sea jade glaze.
The value of this Taoist robe alone is more than three thousand taels, which is enough for a family of five to have enough food and clothing for a lifetime.
"Chishangxie!?" Su Beishan's expression changed slightly.
The middle-aged Taoist priest in front of him was just like him. They debuted together in the early years, but later they failed to join Longhu Mountain.
From then on, Chi Shangxie began to practice evil arts. He not only captured monsters to use as cauldrons to collect and practice, but also captured young women and children to use as his elixir weapons to practice the Yin and Yang elixir.
After Su Beishan found out, he ruined his good deeds over and over again, and they formed a feud from then on.
Later, the two established their own Taoist temples.
It's just that Chi Shangxie's background is better than his. He once met a real disciple of Longhu Mountain, learned several powerful spells, and founded a sect under the name of Longhu Mountain.
Therefore, Chi Shangxie's [Changlong Taoist Temple] is very popular and quite prestigious in their area.
"What did you just say?" Su Ming shouted.
His master was humiliated, and he was so angry that he could no longer suppress his anger.
"Su Ming." Su Beishan frowned slightly and quickly stopped.
Young people have never experienced the beatings of the human world. They only have a little spirit in their chests. They are strong-blooded and impulsive, but they don't know that everything has to pay a price.
Jianghu is not just about fighting and killing...
Jianghu is about human nature!
Some people can be messed with, and some people cannot be messed with.
"Hey, young man, there is really no future in a Taoist temple that is almost extinct. It is simply ridiculous to have to raise all the expenses to attend the [Taoist Spell Seminar]."
Chi Shangxie sneered and said, "You are still loyal, so you can worship in our Changlong Taoist Temple."
"You..." Su Ming was furious and was about to argue when he was stopped by Su Beishan.
"Chi Shangxie, you are a master of the Nine Transformations of Refining Realm, why do you need to tease a junior?" Su Beishan gritted his teeth and said.
"Teasing? I don't have time to tease him."
Chi Shangxie said calmly: "To tell you the truth, next month, I will send experts to Dongling City to open a Taoist temple. By then, you may not even be able to eat the ashes."
As he spoke, the disciples behind Chi Shangxie couldn't help laughing loudly.
When Su Beishan heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
There are many sects in the world, and not all of them are as high as the Six Great Sects, with their own territory and inheritance.
Ninety-nine percent of Taoist temples are like theirs, spread throughout the world, fighting and cannibalizing each other, developing believers, and spreading incense.
Only those with strong incense are qualified to inherit and survive.
This depends on personal strength, background, disciples, etc.
The Taoist temples that survived the great waves have a very high prestige in various places.
Because of this, every three years, Longhu Mountain will hold a [Taoist Technique Seminar], which brings together all the Taoist temples scattered around the country, called the Technique Research.
In fact, he registered these Taoist temples and brought them all under his supervision.
Among them, the outstanding ones will also be given magical treasures, talismans, elixirs, etc., and can even be given the name of Longhu Mountain.
In this way, Longhu Mountain can network all Taoist schools in the world and even recruit all the talents from all over the world without any effort.
This is also one of the important reasons why Longhu Mountain has always been ranked at the top of the Taoist sect.
However, all the Taoist temples scattered in various areas are proud of this. Even Taoist temples like Su Beishan, which has almost lost its incense, face a grand event like the [Taoist Spells and Techniques Seminar], even if they want to sell it, they still have to come.
The patriarchal clans in the world all belong to the dragon and the tiger.
This is the real Longhushan Taoism!
"Are you trying to drive me away?" Su Beishan gritted his teeth and said.
Beishan Taoist Temple was his life's work and his last support. Once his incense ceased, according to the rules of Longhu Mountain, his name would be removed from the list, and he would no longer have the qualifications to establish a sect.
Cutting off someone's future is like killing one's parents.
"The weak eat the strong, this is the rule of the game. If you can't afford it, you don't have to play." Chi Shangxie sneered.
"Okay, then I will wait for you in Dongling City."
Su Beishan had a stern face and said in an extremely tough tone.
He has been practicing for decades. Although the blade is hidden and there is still energy in his chest, he will not let others slaughter him.
"We, master and disciple, are waiting." Su Ming gritted his teeth and said.
"Tsk, tsk, I can't tell that you two, master and apprentice, are still tough." Chi Shangxie sneered.
"Then let's wait and see."
As he spoke, Chi Shangxie rode past the master and disciple. At the same time, he raised his eyebrows and winked at the disciple behind him.
Buzz…
Suddenly, a rapid neighing sound echoed through the wilderness.
A wisp of black smoke shot out from the waist of one of the disciples, and the evil wind howled like a cry. Suddenly, the figure of a black-skinned fox appeared, opened its bloody mouth, and pounced on the master and the disciple.
"evildoer!?"
Su Beishan was startled and couldn't help but look at Chi Shangxie.
The latter had a sinister smile on his face and was looking at the master and apprentice indifferently.
Without any time to think about it, Su Beishan stepped on the seven stars and placed the crossbar in front of Su Ming. A talisman shot out from his palm. Under the burning blood, it turned into seven flying swords and shot at the demon fox.
"Seven Star Sword Talisman!!"
This is already the most powerful talisman on Su Beishan's body, and it is also his most important treasure.
Rumble…
The black mist was thick, and the fox demon stretched out its sharp claws and directly tore into pieces the seven flying swords that shot out. The strong wind roared and poured directly into the bloody mouth, turning into nothingness.
Su Beishan's heart skipped a beat. He never expected this monster to be so vicious. He wanted to dodge but it was already too late.
"Master..." Su Ming was so anxious that he suddenly raised his hand and pushed Su Beishan away.
His face was pale, and he felt an evil spirit entering his body, and the terrifying monster rushed towards him.
"Infinite Heavenly Lord!"
At this moment, a trumpet sounded loudly and loudly.
The next moment, a bolt of lightning shot through the sky, like mountains and rivers surging, rumbling across the field.
Everyone suddenly changed their colors, and the demon fox in the black cloud even let out a shrill scream.
In almost an instant, it was wiped out in the bright lightning, leaving only a strand of black hair, twisting and falling in the wind.
"Lefa!?"
Chi Shangxie's expression changed slightly, and his heart couldn't help but thump.
Thunder method is almost the most difficult to practice among the Taoist techniques, and it is also the most powerful one.
Monsters and ghosts are all taboo, just like frightening gods.
All Taoist priests who master the thunder method are not ordinary people.
Thinking of this, Chi Shangxie couldn't help but look up.
In the mountains and fields, two young men walked slowly towards each other. The night wind whistled, blowing the cloth, and the black hair swayed. They were two extremely clean but unfamiliar faces.
"Is...is it you!?" Su Beishan looked at the people coming, feeling a little dazed.
He couldn't believe that the two young men in front of him were the saviors who used thunder to kill the evil spirits.
"Thank you for saving me."
Su Ming didn't think so much. He walked up in a daze and bowed.
If it hadn't been for that thunder just now, his head would be in a different place now, and he would become the meat in the demon fox's belly.
"Under Longhu Mountain, there are still monsters causing trouble. It's really too rampant."
At this moment, Chi Shangxie said with anger.
His eyes were almost ready to burst into flames, and the banner of justice, engraved with the glory of morality, rose slowly behind him.
"I am sworn in with sin."
Chi Shangxie dismounted, walked over, clasped his fists and said, "Thanks to the help of my two fellow Taoists, I haven't asked for advice yet."
"I am a poor Taoist, the master of Ping'an Temple!" Zhou Dao whispered.
"Thank you fellow Taoist for saving my life." Su Beishan also walked up and bowed.
"You're welcome." Zhou Dao glanced sideways at Chi Shangxie and said calmly: "It is our duty to subjugate demons and eliminate them. It's a pity that the whole body was not left."
"Fellow Taoist is compassionate and possesses the virtues of heaven and good health."
Hearing this, everyone bowed to Zhou Dao. Unexpectedly, he had mastered the thunder method at such a young age. Not only did he not have any anger, but he could also be compassionate and blamed himself for not leaving a whole corpse for the monster.
This kind of magnanimity is really admirable.
"Are fellow Taoists also here to participate in the [Tao Sect Technique Seminar]?" Chi Shangxie asked, with a hint of vigilance flashing in his eyes.
"Come and join in the fun." Zhou Dao said calmly.
"Longhu Mountain is ahead. Let's rest in this ruined temple for a night. Someone will pick us up tomorrow." Su Beishan suggested.
"good!"
Everyone entered the ruined temple, lit a bonfire, and chatted casually.
In the middle of the night, Zhou Daofang and Wang Xiaoyi went to the back hall.
"Brother Dao, I see that you have been talking to that boy Su Ming just now. You seem to be very interested in him."
"This kid is a little lucky and will achieve great things in the future." Zhou Dao said calmly.
"Can you see this?"
"People's misfortunes and fortunes often change in an instant. If we have a spiritual relationship with each other, we will gain something." Zhou Dao said casually.
He didn't pay special attention to Su Ming, after all, he had seen oddities like Jiang Yuan before.
Now, Zhou Dao is most concerned about how to enter Longhu Mountain.
This path was paved for him by Lin Jie himself.
"Junior brother, as long as you listen to me, let alone snatching back my little wife, senior brother has an even bigger surprise for you."
Before leaving, Lin Jie's words echoed in Zhou Dao's mind, along with that meaningful smile.
"A bigger surprise!?" Zhou Dao was a little confused.
"Brother Dao, do you really want to break into Longhu Mountain?" Wang Xiaoyi only felt that Zhou Dao's senior brother was a bit unreliable.
"The teacher said that the best way to destroy an enemy is to disintegrate it from within." Zhou Dao suddenly said.
"What?" Wang Xiaoyi was stunned.
"I mean this is okay."
Lin Jie said that Wang Tong has now closed the door to death in order to fight with him.
Even if Huo Jinli enters Longhu Mountain, it is safe for now, and Zhou Dao still has a lot of time to operate.
Lin Jie's first step was to send Zhou Dao inside.
"Brother Dao, you have been with your wife for so long, do you know she is a person?" Wang Xiaoyi has always been curious.
Xiao Hei Hei has always been a cat, so why does Zhou Dao become so enthusiastic?
Is it possible that he doesn't like people? Like cats?
This kind of hobby...
"Of course I know!" Zhou Dao glanced sideways.
In fact, Zhou Dao had some vague guesses before coming to Zhenlu Mountain. After returning from Zhenlu Mountain, his relationship with Huo Jinli became somewhat ambiguous.
Sometimes, while sleeping, Huo Jinli would be projected into the dream, communicating with Zhou Dao in his true body...
Therefore, although the little black cat is still a cat on the surface, it has been a close friend with Zhou Dao for a long time. They are intimate with each other every night and cannot extricate themselves.
"correct."
Zhou Dao suddenly remembered something. Before leaving, Lin Jie gave him a tips bag and asked him to open it when he arrived at Longhu Mountain.
There is a surprise for Zhou Dao here.
Thinking of this, Zhou Dao took out the brocade bag from his arms.
He opened it, but there was only a piece of letter inside.
"Um!?"
Zhou Dao's eyes widened and his expression became extremely strange.
There were only seven large characters on the letterhead.
"The position of headmaster of Longhu Mountain!?"
