The Wolong Mountains are like a coiled dragon, entangled Tian'an, the imperial capital of the Great Shang Empire, and the surrounding Longzhong Valley, which is 8,000 miles away. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There are hundreds of thousands of mountains in the mountain range, most of the mountains are high and densely forested, the peaks are stacked with cockroaches, the weather is thousands, and there are tens of thousands of Taoist temples.

The Great Shang Empire has respected Taoism as the state religion for 3.26 million years, and Emperor Taizu was also a Taoist immortal master with monstrous power, who overthrew the decaying Great Zhou Empire and established a new dynasty with the help of Taoism.

The Great Shang Empire is the most powerful empire in the eastern part of the Wanzhou Continent, with a vast territory, bordering the East China Sea in the east, the savage prairie in the north, the Western Desert in the west, and the Zhongnan Mountains in the south, with a radius of one billion miles and tens of billions of inhabitants in the territory.

However, the Great Shang Empire only occupied eighteen of the ten thousand states in the world, and Longzhou was located in the center of these eighteen states, with a radius of 30 million miles.

The Great Shang Empire has been established for three generations, and now it is the Wudi Dynasty, and the first two emperors did not die, but they abdicated and lived in seclusion in Wolong Mountain.

The Great Shang Empire was a vast empire dotted with deep mountains and deep valleys, where there were few human tracks, occupied by fierce beasts such as dragons and tigers, leopards and jackals.

There are many demons in the territory of the Great Shang Empire, which are cultivated by spirit beasts with high intelligence, and can transform into human appearances.

There are some demons who like to eat humans, so the demon race has become the public enemy of mankind, and since ancient times, humans and demons have become mortal enemies.

There is a "Dingyuan General" mansion in the southwest suburbs of Tian'an City, covering an area of 1,000 acres, with 10,000 spacious buildings, and hundreds of pavilions and gardens.

The gate of the "General Dingyuan" mansion is made of black iron, and there is a white tiger carved on the door, which looks lifelike from a distance.

On either side of the gate stood a row of soldiers in shining armor, all of whom looked full of energy and sharp eyes.

They are all agile and have extraordinary martial arts.

At this time, a middle-aged Taoist with a boy about nine years old walked towards the gate from the street in the distance.

As soon as this group of soldiers with ordinary faces and majestic faces saw this Taoist, they hurriedly showed respectful looks, and a leading officer stepped forward with a smile on his face.

Under his guidance, the two Daoists soon entered the Xuantie Gate.

"General Dingyuan" was once a general with outstanding military achievements in the Wudi Dynasty, surnamed Lu and Yong.

When Lu Yong was young, he was able to pull out a strong bow with three stones, and at the age of twenty, he won the fourth place in the martial arts competition that year with his strong martial arts.

One stone is a thousand catties, and three stones are three thousand catties.

Since the founding of the Great Shang Empire, it has advocated the use of force, and every year it will hold a martial arts competition to select outstanding young warriors from all over the country.

In addition to the martial arts competition, there are also the Xiuke competition and the imperial examination competition.

The examination competition is used to select outstanding young monks, and the imperial examination competition is used to select outstanding young civil officials.

The Great Shang Empire had two strong enemies, one was the Divine Wolf Empire in the northern savage grasslands, and the other was the Shaluo Empire in the west.

Lü Yong once killed thousands of enemy soldiers in a bloody battle with the wolf cavalry of the Divine Wolf Empire, and this was the most prominent battle feat of his military career.

In that battle, he rode a brute bull with a spear in his hand, and rushed through tens of thousands of wolf cavalry, as if no one was there.

However, it was in that battle that he was seriously injured, and his body never recovered, and the divine power in his body also decreased a lot compared to his peak.

In order to take care of him, Emperor Wu asked him to retire from the army and live at home.

The income of the "Dingyuan General" Mansion mainly comes from the surrounding 100,000 mu of fiefdom, which is cultivated by farmers in more than a dozen nearby villages all year round.

After retiring from the army, Dingyuan general Lu Yong became obsessed with the art of cultivation, and he often went to some nearby Taoist temples to listen to Taoist master's Taoist explanations, and later studied Taoist cultivation himself.

The Great Shang Empire was a great advocate of cultivating the true arts, and many royal families and nobles became disciples of many well-known Taoist temples from a young age.

Perennial cultivation can make people physically strong and prolong their lives, and the peak giant of the cultivation world, the Taoist Great Immortal Master, can live up to millions of years.

Even for ordinary Taoist priests, the lifespan can last for three or four hundred years.

The power of Taoism was extremely powerful in the Great Shang Empire, and in order to counter it, the three generations of emperors of the Great Shang Empire adopted various covert methods and successfully disintegrated it into tens of thousands of different factions after more than three million years.

As a result, some small Taoist factions were gradually eliminated, many unknown Taoist temples gradually became lonely, the scene of pilgrims in the past no longer existed, and even some Taoist temples became barren places, where there were few people and occupied by demons or birds and beasts.

Six hundred years ago, the head of the Taoist temple was brutally suppressed by Emperor Wu because of the conspiracy to participate in the rebellion.

The Taoist temple, which was originally very prosperous, was later deserted, and the stone walls of many temples gradually collapsed, and the courtyard was overgrown with various weeds.

Four hundred years ago, a terrifying fox demon came here and devoured more than a dozen ordinary old Taoists and many villagers in the nearby villages left behind in the Taoist temple, turning this area into a deserted land.

After Dingyuan General Lu Yong learned of this situation, he hired a little immortal master from Qingtian Temple, one of the top ten Taoist temples in Wolong Mountain, to subdue demons.

The monks of the Great Shang Empire were divided into Taoist priests, Dao Priests, Dao Masters, Middle Dao Masters, Dao Masters, Little Immortal Masters, Middle Immortal Masters, and Great Immortal Masters according to their cultivation.

The monk with the lowest mana is called a Taoist priest, and the monk with the strongest mana is called a great immortal master.

Two days later, the little immortal master entered the Taoist temple occupied by the fox demon with a high-grade flying sword and a few magic weapons, but he never came out again.

A day later, the Qingtian Taoist Temple sent three more middle immortal masters to them, and they were horrified to find that he had died naked inside, and his face was full of joy, obviously he had fallen for the fox demon's charm technique.

The three middle immortal masters immediately brought the body of the little immortal master back to Qingtianguan, who was originally the beloved disciple of Qingtianguan Sect Leader Zhao Yunlong.

Therefore, Zhao Yunlong was extremely angry, and personally searched for the demon fox with a flying sword and magic weapon overnight.

After a hard battle, he seriously injured the demon fox with a flying sword and magic weapon, but its earth escape technique was really against the sky, and it actually escaped under the hands of a great immortal master.

The masters of the top ten Taoist temples in Wolong Mountain, their cultivation is all great immortal masters, all of them have monstrous mana, and they can call the wind and rain, move mountains and fill lakes.

Most of that Taoist temple was also destroyed in the battle, and for some reason, from then on, even during the day, it was gloomy and dense, and ordinary Taoist monks did not dare to approach it at all.

More than 100 years ago, a highly cultivated Youfang Daoist entered this ruined Taoist temple and lived there, and he changed it to the "Aoki" temple.

His surname is Li, his name is Xuan, and he is from Wuzhou in the south.

Li Xuan is a subsequent, likes to drink, a green gourd filled with fine wine never leaves his body, and is good at alchemy and calculation.

A year later, Dingyuan's general Lü Yong met him while hunting in that area, and they became friends with each other often.
