The two of them walked to the foot of the barren mountain, only to see a foul-smelling fog between the woods and trees.

Not far into the mountain, I saw a cloud of black gas gathered on a mountain from a distance, knowing that this was the black evil qi spit out by the ghost king, I was puzzled in my heart, thinking that he was refining the Fa at this time?

When he got closer, he realized that someone was fighting with the ghost king, knowing that the person was trapped in the black evil qi, Xiao Yue hurriedly sacrificed the gossip mirror, dispersed the black evil qi, rushed in, and sure enough, he saw that the ghost king was committing murder to a Taoist, but he disappeared as soon as he saw the golden light.

Amu helped the Taoist up, gave him a Buddha Inner Pill, and then stopped the bleeding and transmitted spiritual power, and after a while, the Taoist woke up.

Seeing a Taoist priest, a monk and a child, he couldn't help but feel surprised and asked, "Who are the three Taoist friends?" ”

Xiao Yue said: "This is not the place to talk, we are talking about saving you out." "At the moment, walking in front of the gossip treasure mirror, any ghost thing blocking it, being illuminated by the golden light, is scattered.

The ghost king watched from afar, and was also afraid of Xiao Yue's gossip mirror, although he was angry when he saw them rescue people, he was helpless, he roared and said, "One day you will fall into my hands, let you live for two more days now." ”

Xiao Yue said: "We came to settle accounts with you this time, but now that it is important to save people, we don't want to entangle with you more, even if you don't come to us, we will take the initiative to come to you, goodbye." ”

——

They left the barren mountain, and still walked at the foot of the mountain, and heard the evil roar of killing the ghosts and gods from the other end, needless to say, the ghost king must have been extremely angry, and was venting the anger in his heart.

His zombies and lonely ghosts are afraid that they will suffer a lot.

Sometimes the ghost king will catch a few zombies or lonely ghosts as sacrifices in order to refine the demon law, and at this moment he is angry again, so he naturally can't help but vent indiscriminately, and it is normal to eat a few zombies and lonely ghosts to dissipate his anger.

Xiao Yue and the others were inconvenient to stay longer, so they returned to Zhenghe Village, and it was already dark at this time.

The village chief's house was eating, and when he saw Xiao Yue and others rescue a seriously injured Taoist, he was quite surprised, and hurriedly found a place to press this Taoist.

Although he ate the Buddha's Inner Dan and transmitted spiritual power through Amu, his body could barely stay awake, but if he wanted to say that it was okay, it would be absolutely impossible.

The palm he was hit by the ghost king had already damaged the five internal organs in his body, and the original spirit was also damaged, his shoulder was pierced, he bled excessively, and he was seriously injured, leaving only the remnant god and his body. Amu's Neidan can only temporarily save his life, if he wants to recover his vitality quickly, the spirit recovers, and the five internal organs heal, it will take time to adjust well.

Fortunately, he has been practicing since he was a child, and his body is no longer comparable to ordinary people, and he has almost recovered after two days, at least he can do basic actions.

On this day, they sat together and discussed how to deal with the ghost king, but they still couldn't discuss a countermeasure for a long time.

Daodaodao: "In the past two days, you have not asked me where I came from, do you know who I am?" ”

Xiao Yue and Amu looked at each other and smiled, and said, "We don't know where you came from. ”

The man said, "Then why don't you ask?" ”

Xiao Yue said: "As long as you are like-minded and consistent with the outside world, your identity and origin are not important. ”

The Taoist smiled: "I didn't expect you to be temperamental. He paused and continued, "But if you don't ask, I'll still say it." ”

Amu said: "The little monk listens. ”

Daodao: "I am a mountain man, the division out of the north of Maoshan, Guangxu Shigong Tiangu Zhenren sealed the ghost king in the barren mountain, in order to prevent the ghost king from taking the opportunity to break through the formation, Shigong Tiangu found a cave on the other side of the barren mountain to live in, while practicing with a pure heart while guarding the ghost king. At that time, he had an apprentice, that is, my master, the Dao name Miaojue, after the Tiangu Master crossed the tribulation and ascended, the responsibility of guarding the ghost king fell on my master, and then my master also feathered, and this responsibility fell on me. ”

It turned out that after Tiangu suppressed the Ghost King, he was afraid that his demon law was strong, if there was no one to guard the formation, and some prohibitions were added to the formation on time, he would break through the formation and escape, and it would be difficult to suppress him at that time. So in order to prevent the ghost king from breaking the ground and being reborn, he simply found a cave on a peak in the barren mountain Chaoyang and lived in it so that he could guard it.

Tiangu is practicing here, and the Great Dao is about to be completed, and soon a heavenly tribulation will be ushered in. He has an apprentice, named Miaojue, who has been meditating and cultivating in the Taoist temple, and is afraid that after he crosses the tribulation and ascends, no one will come to guard the ghost king, so he simply called the apprentice Miaojue, and after he crosses the tribulation and ascends, the responsibility of guarding the ghost king falls on him.

At the end of the day, he explained the important matters to the apprentice clearly, and then he left this place and flew away.

Miaojue is a person's duty, and he does not dare to slack off on the things that the master has explained, and he will never leave here easily if he has nothing to do.

But seeing that he is close to his age and alone, if he is feathered away, who will take his place in the future?

At that time, if the ghost king comes back and harms one party, won't the sins be all in one's body?

I was thinking about when I would go down the mountain to accept an apprentice so that I could inherit my master's will, but I went down the mountain several times and traveled north and south of the river, but I couldn't meet a satisfactory apprentice.

Looking at the vast land, tens of millions of people in the world can only look at the ocean and sigh, and return home in defeat.

That night, a person meditated in the cave, and suddenly felt that his mind was touched, which was a symptom of being touched by the formation that suppressed the ghost king.

Shocked, he hurriedly came to the shady place of the barren mountain, only to see a teenage child trapped in the formation, frightened him "wow" crying, and the lonely ghosts around him circled and flew up and down, making a "woo" eerie cry.

Miaojue hurriedly recited the mantra of the formation, calmed down the forbidden fluctuations of the formation, and saved the child back.

This child is the mountain man.

His popular name at that time was: Zhao Xiaojun. Because of the decline of the country, the whole country is in great turmoil, many civilians are homeless, no fixed residence, he and his family are separated, and they strayed into the barren mountains, which touched the prohibition of the formation.

Fortunately, Miao Jue arrived in time, if he was one step slower, he would be sucked underground by the Ghost King, and then there would be no way to save him.

Zhao Xiaojun is very grateful for Miaojue's life-saving grace, and he has experienced the world since he was a child, and he has seen a lot through it when he is only a teenager, and he has no obsession with life. ”

Zhao Xiaojun said: "Hmm." ”

Miaojue said: "Cultivation is not an easy task, and it requires a lot of suffering. ”

Zhao Xiaojun said: "I know, but at least the things I do are meaningful, my life in the world is not as good as a dog, I have seen through life." ”

Miaojue saw that his eyes were firm, and what he said also had a sense of enlightenment, so he immediately accepted him as an apprentice.

Now I don't have to go down the mountain often to look for good disciples.

Although Zhao Xiaojun is not very good, he also has some talent.

After he officially apprenticed, Miaojue gave him a Dharma name, because he came from the mountains, he was called "Mountain Man".
