Chapter Seventy-Five: The Fake Hou Ye
Seeing Shen Lang stepping on the long stone steps, Lao Dao hurriedly used a paper pigeon to send a message, took out a small paper pigeon from his arms, and said something in his mouth, and the small white paper pigeon flew towards the sect on the top of the mountain.
Shen Lang knew that Lao Dao wanted to inform the sect master, and he didn't care about him, so he took Luo Lina and ran towards the top of the mountain.
There are nine hundred and ninety-nine bluestone steps, and it is estimated that it takes ordinary people two hours to climb up, but for Shen Lang, it is half an hour.
At the end of the stone steps, there is an archway, and there are a few big characters written on the plaque, "Heavenly Master Sect!", the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, elegant and chic, every stroke has a kind of sword intent permeated, it seems that these words are written by the predecessors of the Heavenly Master Sect.
"Who is coming, dare to trespass on the mountain gate!" the two Taoist boys rushed up.
Shen Lang ignored them, and a kind of reverent momentum on his body couldn't help but show, and the two Dao boys were intimidated by his momentum and took two steps back.
"Hurry up and report that Hai Jinghou is visiting. Lao Dao instructed the two Dao boys.
On the top of the mountain, the palaces and pavilions are scattered, the big trees in the sky are towering into the clouds, the clouds are shrouded, there are some elk gnawing on the lawn to eat fungi, and a few white cranes walk around freely, sometimes singing, the voice is pleasant and high-pitched.
Shen Lang took a look, this place was really a fairyland on earth, and it was a good place to cultivate.
A young Taoist priest walked out, looked at Shen Lang, bowed down and smiled, "The poor Dao is not welcome, and I ask your guests to forgive their sins." "Very gracious.
Many Daoists followed, looking at Shen Lang with dissatisfaction.
"This place is nice, I want to stay here for half a month. Shen Lang smiled.
The young Taoist priest's face was embarrassed, "Master Hou, the family teacher is in retreat and cultivating, and I don't dare to make decisions about such a big thing." ”
"Just stay here for a few days, what a big deal. Shen Lang said dissatisfied.
"Master Hou doesn't know, my ancestors have decreed that ordinary people are not allowed to enter the mountain gate, and it is already a bad rule to let Lord Hou go up the mountain. The young Taoist priest replied.
"Hehe, since the rules have been broken, it is better to break a little. Shen Lang smiled.
"You, although you are a marquis, you can't be so unreasonable, right?" said the young Taoist priest.
"If I am unreasonable, I will use this place as my cultivation place, and you will not stay in Longhu Mountain. Shen Lang's eyes forced the young Taoist priest, his eyes were like lightning, and the young Taoist priest couldn't help but feel distracted.
The young Taoist priest only had this idea in his heart, and it seemed that Hai Jinghou was really not an idle person.
"Master Hou, my Heavenly Master Sect has been my Taoist cultivation place since the Tang Dynasty, and the sect still keeps the Danshu Iron Scroll, if you say so, I am really not convinced. The young Taoist priest straightened his chest and strengthened his courage.
"The Tang Dynasty, well, that's seven or eight hundred years, seven or eight hundred years, and it's still done accurately? Not to mention that the Tang Dynasty has long since perished. Shen Lang said happily.
"You! Poor Dao tells you that even if the prince arrives, he won't dare to say such a thing!" said the young Taoist priest angrily.
"As long as I want to, I can make myself king, I can take any mountain I want, Niubi, you have offended me, now I have taken a fancy to Longhu Mountain, and I will say a word to my emperor brother, it is mine. Shen Lang deliberately stimulated him.
"What, Brother Emperor!" the young Taoist priest was shocked.
"That's right, it's also to blame you monks, don't ask about the world, the emperor's little sister, Princess Zhu Can is a wife of this marquis. Shen Lang smiled proudly.
The group of Taoist priests looked at Shen Lang's face, and wanted to beat him to death, it was too annoying, since the Heavenly Master Sect opened the sect, whoever dared to treat them like this would have to beg them even if the emperor of the dynasty had to beg them.
"I don't know if it's the horse master, please forgive me. The young Taoist priest said aggrievedly, although he had already scolded Shen Lang's ancestors for eight generations in his heart.
"Well, I've been staying here for a few days, arrange the best room for me, and serve me well, and as soon as I'm happy, maybe I won't want Longhu Mountain, and you can continue to live here." Shen Lang said with a grin.
"Okay, I'll go and report to the family teacher, and ask the Hou Ye to wait here. The young Taoist priest said.
"Let me wait!Little Taoist, you are really interesting, when has this Marquis waited?" Shen Lang said dissatisfied.
"Master Hou, please abide by the rules of this sect. The young Taoist priest's posture was lowered.
"Why should this marquis abide by your stinky rules? Hurry up, don't stop it!" Shen Lang didn't look at everyone, and walked slowly into the mountain gate with Luo Lina.
The Taoist priests in the back hurriedly followed, and wherever Shen Lang went, they followed.
"What are those two towers?" Shen Lang asked, looking at the two towering stone towers.
"Back to the Hou Ye, that is the cultivation tower of this sect. The young Taoist priest replied.
"Well, just go there and have a look, climb up and look into the distance, and the scenery will be even more beautiful. Shen Lang rushed towards the stone tower.
"Master Hou, don't, don't! That's the forbidden place of this gate, you can't go up without permission, and besides, the stone tower is forbidden, and you can't go up. The young Taoist priest hurriedly stopped.
"You said that you monks, are you annoying, are you annoying, the left is a forbidden place, the right is forbidden, is it interesting? Let me ask you, how can you go up?" Shen Lang pointed at the crowd and scolded.
"Master Hou, please calm your anger, it's not difficult to get in, just join the sect, as a junior disciple, as long as you do the corresponding things for the sect, you can take the jade plate and go to the stone tower to cultivate. The young Taoist priest explained.
"Yupai, do you have it?" Shen Lang glared at the young Taoist priest.
"As a disciple of the fortieth generation of the inner sect, of course Poor Dao has the opportunity to go, but there is only one hour a day. The young Taoist priest preached.
"Okay, you hand over your jade plate, and I'll go in and have a look. Shen Lang pointed at him.
"No, Master Hou, there is only one jade plate per person, and there is personal information on it, the information does not match, it can't go up, otherwise it will be bombarded by thunder. The young Taoist priest said anxiously.
"I'm not happy, if you take it out now, maybe I'll let you stay in Longhu Mountain. Shen Lang glared at the young Taoist priest.
The young Taoist priest was very embarrassed.
"Uncle Mingyue, is this Marquis Shen fake?" a middle-aged Taoist priest whispered in the young Taoist priest's ear.
When Mingyue heard this, she was a little suspicious, in case this Marquis Shen was pretending to be and the master was to blame him, it would be troublesome, and maybe he would have to cancel the identity of the inner disciple.
"Marquis Shen, can you prove your identity?" Mingyue said respectfully.
"Do you dare to doubt me?" Shen Lang was very unhappy, took out the jade plate on his belt and threw it over.
Mingyue hurriedly caught it, observed it carefully, and finally determined that this was a piece of fine jade, and only the royal family would have a jade plate made of this kind of jade.
"Forgive me for being reckless!" Mingyue carefully returned the jade plate to Shen Lang.
"Uncle Mingyue, although the jade plate is real, I don't dare to believe that this jade card is my own. The middle-aged Taoist priest muttered in Mingyue's ear again.
"Stinky Daoist, what are you muttering nonsense? This Marquis is also something you can doubt?" Shen Lang's sharp eyes glared at the middle-aged Taoist priest.
"I didn't say that the jade card came from unclear, but now is a troubled time, and this Daoist master has to be careful, in case he is deceived by someone, the reputation of this sect will be damaged. The middle-aged Taoist priest snorted coldly.
"Stinky Daoist, you're done playing, Master Ben orders you, hurry down the mountain!" Shen Lang pointed to the middle-aged Taoist.
"Come on, you are an impostor, and you dare to order me, you are impatient, and you want to overtake you!" the middle-aged Taoist priest said angrily.
