Speaking of the matter of the ancestor preaching, the old master gave me the feeling that he was very persistent in the so-called "becoming an immortal", and there was no particularly clear record in the literature of their Baiwu Mountain which ancient people became immortals, but he believed that there were immortals in this world, and he also believed in the existence of the underworld and the heavenly court, and he was convinced.

When we mention the word "Dao", most of them mean that someone has understood the true meaning of the Dao, but in Baiwu Mountain, there is only one meaning to attain the Dao, that is, to become an immortal, and cultivating to become an immortal is also the lifelong pursuit of the people of Baiwu Mountain.

Our Jisoul Village advocates the refining of the heart in the red dust, and Baiwushan advocates pure cultivation, but the old master also admits that no matter how clean the cultivation is, it cannot avoid contact with the earthly world.

During my stay in Baiwu Mountain, I would often discuss these things with the old master, and sometimes because of different views on a matter, he would even argue with me endlessly.

In fact, sometimes I also feel strange, although Baiwu Mountain is somewhat similar to Quanzhen and Zhengyi in terms of practice, but Baiwu Mountain actually does not belong to Taoism, although I have mentioned before that the disciples of Baiwu Mountain are wearing "Taoist clothes", but this Tao is not the other way, this is Baiwu Mountain's own way, not the Taoist way.

In fact, the ancestor of Baiwu Mountain was originally a priest of a small country thousands of years ago, and according to Liang Houzai, the sect that this ancestor believed in should be the most primitive shamanism.

But no matter what, Baiwu Mountain looks like it is in the same vein as Taoism inside and out, and even the gods of faith are almost the same.

In these days, in addition to telling me that this dark room is the place where the patriarch of Baiwu Mountain attained enlightenment, he has never told me why Zhao Dekai did not dare to come to this place, I thought it was inconvenient for him to say, so I never asked.

Until one day, in my sleep, I noticed that a large amount of yin qi had poured into this small dark room, and I immediately opened my eyes, only to see the old master sitting in the middle of the room playing chess with another old man with white hair and white beard.

I recognized it at a glance, the old man sitting opposite the old master was the fierce god guarding the gate of Baiwu Mountain!

At first, I thought I was dreaming.

The old master was still staring at the chessboard on the table, but when he heard me sit up, he slowly turned his gaze to me.

He smiled a little helplessly, and said to the fierce god sitting opposite him: "The kid of Chai Zongyuan's family is really destined to bring essence yang, and even the yin qi in your body can't suppress his yang qi. ”

As the old master spoke, I looked around at the other people in the room and found that they were still asleep, and I tried to shake Liang Houzai a few times, but he was too dead to react at all.

At this time, the fierce god also looked at me and said to me, "It's useless, they are pressed by my yin qi and can't wake up." If you forcibly wake them up, they will feel like they are being pressed by a ghost. ”

I got up from the bunk, looked at the old master, and then at the fierce god, and it took me a long time to come to my senses. Then I realized that I was not dreaming, and what appeared in front of me at this time was indeed the fierce god of Baiwu Mountain.

The old master is playing chess with the fierce god! If I say this kind of thing, people will definitely think of me as crazy.

As far as I know, after the devil became a demon, there was only obsession and resentment in his heart, and the last time the fierce god said the sentence "Save Baiwu Mountain!" At that time, I think it was because he was obsessed with Baiwu Mountain and did not want to let the thousand-year-old foundation of Baiwu Mountain be ruined. But now, he is actually playing chess with the old master, which is beyond my common sense.

A ghost who only has obsessions and resentments in his heart is actually playing chess, and he can talk and laugh like a living person with normal emotions!

The fierce god took out a white piece from the chess jar and put it towards the chessboard, but as soon as the edge of the chess piece touched the chessboard, he raised his hand again, shaking his head and sighing.

After a while, it suddenly turned to me and said, "Can you stop staring at me, which makes people very upset." ”

I was overwhelmed with "Huh? He stared at me for a moment and sighed.

After a long while, I finally came to my senses, and I couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you a fierce god?" ”

It stared intently at the chessboard as it responded to my question: "The world thinks I am a fierce god, but how can a fierce god play against a living person." Is a fierce god who can play chess with a living person still a fierce god? ”

I found that it was very similar to Master Chengyun when it spoke, and it was obviously verbose for a long time, but it seemed like it didn't say anything.

The old master said to me, "It's not a fierce god, it's just a wandering soul with a deep obsession." ”

Geist? But the Qi field on his body is more powerful than any powerful ghost I have ever seen, no, it should be said that the most powerful ghost I have ever seen is not at the same level as him.

At this time, the fierce god casually threw the chess pieces in the chess jar and said to the old master: "I was disturbed by someone, so I won't play!" ”

After saying that, it floated out along the wall, it was indeed a ghost, but it could pick up a chess piece with its fingers, just like a fairy back then.

After the fierce god left for a while, the old master smiled at me and said, "It was originally a hermit elder in Baiwu Mountain thousands of years ago, but he died because of the failure to break through the level, and then it became such a wandering spirit. For more than a thousand years, one has guarded the gate of the Soul Village. ”

I let out a sigh of relief and said, "Yan Xiaotian and Luo Fei both said that it was a fierce god before, and I took it seriously. ”

The old master still smiled: "In essence, it is indeed a fierce god. But because it was a powerful cultivator during his lifetime, he knew how to avoid being washed by the yin wind after his death, so although it existed for more than a thousand years, it was not blown away by the yin wind. Speaking of which, he is probably the most special fierce god of all time. ”

It turned out to be a fierce god with a complete mind...... Thinking of this, a cold sweat suddenly broke out on my back.

When I first came to Baiwu Mountain, I thought that this old ghost was a fierce god, thinking that I could deceive him as long as I didn't speak, but now it seems that when I entered Baiwu Mountain, he should have noticed the abnormality in me early on. Qinggang Sword and Fantian Seal, I carried these two things on my body, and I didn't believe that he didn't recognize my identity at that time.

If you think about the situation, it was really extremely dangerous, if it hadn't let me in and did it to me at the......

Thinking about this, I don't dare to think about it anymore.

At this moment, the old master suddenly smiled and asked me, "If it weren't for this old ghost, this little place wouldn't be as quiet as it is now." ”

Listening to the old master's meaning, Zhao Dekai didn't dare to approach this hut because he was afraid of this old ghost.

I asked the old master: "Isn't this place the place where the patriarch of Baiwu Mountain attained enlightenment, does it also have a special meaning for the fierce god?" ”

The old master nodded: "More than a thousand years ago, this was also the place where the hermit elders and the successive masters retreated, and it was here that the old ghost failed to break through, and his yang body also died here. Although the old ghost has a complete sanity, it can't get rid of the commonality of all ghosts, and like other ghosts, the old ghost has a strong attachment to the place where it was born and died. I heard the old ghost say that at the beginning, it was born in the canyon outside the gate of Baiwu Mountain, and it is for this reason that he is willing to guard the gate for Baiwu Mountain. ”

While the old master was talking, Liang Houzai also sat up from the floor and rubbed his eyes in a daze.

The old master glanced at Liang Houzai and said, "I woke up so soon, this kid is not bad." After that, he said to me: "The old ghost was a very picky person in his life, and he didn't change his temperament until he died." For the two places he cherished the most, he would not let people enter casually, unless the person had his approval. On the other side of the gate, as long as it is a person from Baiwu Mountain, he must approve, this is the rule. But if it wants to enter this hut, it must be favored by him, and it will not be polite to those people if it trespasses without his permission. ”

I thought about it for a while and said, "I heard from the hall master of the Golden Fire Hall that Zhao Dekai caused a lot of people from outside Baiwu Mountain to come in, but how did they come in through the gate of Baiwu Mountain guarded by the fierce god?" ”

The old master sighed: "Zhao Dekai chiseled a back door on the top of the mountain, and his minions came in from there. The old ghost originally wanted to drive these people out, but it had made an oath in front of the fifth generation of the Baiwu Mountain Sect, promising never to cast magical spells on the territory of Baiwu Mountain, let alone hurt people's lives. However, when the ancestor of the Patriarch put mental power on his oath, he kept his hand and kept the two places of the hut and the gate of Baiwu Mountain. Nowadays, it can only use supernatural powers and spells in these two places. ”

I couldn't help but wonder, "Add mental power to your vows?" But the power of the mind, it seems that it can only be blessed on the physical object, but the oath is the words that come out of the mouth, and it is not the real thing, how is the mental power blessed? ”

The old master sighed: "That was a secret technique in the early years of Baiwu Mountain, and it was only passed down by word of mouth among the masters of the past dynasties. But in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, the twentieth generation head of Baiwu Mountain died violently for no reason, and since then, many of the secret techniques of Baiwu Mountain have been lost. ”

Listening to the old master's words, I once again remembered the legendary Shiquan Daoist, who almost burned the Soul Village to the ground, also in the last years of the Sui Dynasty.

Just when I was thinking about these things, the old man got up and walked towards the dark room, and he said slowly and leisurely as he walked: "Zhao Dekai's matter has been almost investigated on my side, and the matter is more troublesome than imagined." ”

I wanted to inquire in detail about what the old master had found, but he had already left the house and locked the door outside.

For the next three days, the old master never returned. The fierce god came back occasionally, but every time it came, it deliberately avoided Liang Houzai and the three of them, and when I saw it, it was also busy with its own affairs, either studying chess games alone, or looking through those ancient books on the cabinet, and rarely talking to me.

The more times I saw the fierce god, I gradually felt that it was not so scary, and once when he was flipping through a book in front of the cabinet, I took the initiative to talk to it once.

I asked him why the successive elders of Baiwu Mountain always thought that the decline of Baiwu Mountain was related to Jizhizhuang.
