Zhang Yan had imagined before that one day he would be a master of Taoism, flying to the sky and the earth, and omnipotent.

After feeling the shock of a flight tonight, I completely strengthened my determination to carry forward the Maoshan Taoism.

Locke's protective shield of fighting spirit kept the strong hurricanes and atmospheric pressure in the air out.

The shoulders were carried by Locke, and Zhang Yan looked at the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.

Because it was night, I didn't see a lot of special beauty, but this already made Zhang Yi satisfied.

Especially when passing through some large cities, the colorful night scene in the city brightens Zhang Yan's eyes.

After more than ten years of pure heart and few desires, Zhang Yang has not had the opportunity to get in touch with the bustling nightlife of big cities in the new era.

Not only was Zhang Yan surprised, but even Locke, a first-level knight who had experience in three planes and walked in countless places, was also a little surprised.

Although this world does not have much application in terms of elemental energy, they have developed another kind of energy - electricity.

Locke could naturally see what kind of energy was consumed by the colorful neon lights in the city below.

All the way, under the direction of Zhang Yin, Locke flew straight towards Maoshan in Suzhou Province.

Every time Zhang Yan traveled back and forth to Maoshan, it took a week to take a plane and a car back and forth, but here in Locke, it only took three hours.

It's eleven o'clock at night, and at this time in the past, the last bell of Maoshan's watch hall has not yet been struck.

The hard-working senior brothers and disciples should still gather in the practice hall to practice Taoism.

Maoshan is not large, this is a medium-sized mountain range covering an area of only more than 40 square kilometers.

Flying all the way from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, Locke was disappointed, I don't know if it was because of the night, or if Maoshan was not crowded in the first place, and there were only a handful of humans he met along the way.

Then to the martial arts training ground halfway up the mountainside, there are some highlights here, there are always fifty or sixty people meditating and practicing on the playground, some of them are about the same strength as Zhang Yan, and some of them don't even have the qi sense stage, they are just ordinary people with stronger physique.

Only one gray-robed old Taoist made Locke pay attention to it, and the true qi in that person's dantian had some heat, in their words, it was a monk of the second level of qi training.

"That's my sixth uncle. Zhang Yi was controlled by Locke and said reluctantly.

The two of them are now hiding in the clouds, covered by the night, not to mention the second layer of Qi training, even if they are monks of the twelfth layer of Qi training, they may not be able to find Locke, a first-level knight.

The second level of qi training, matching the entry-level squire of the knight stage, this old man just let Locke pay attention to it.

Flying to the top of the mountain again, this time a large number of buildings and pavilions appeared, most of these palaces were old, and an unusually strong historical atmosphere came.

There are quite a lot of buildings, but there are very few people, and after a cursory glance, there are only a dozen ordinary Taoist priests wearing Taoist uniforms.

"Why are you so?" said Locke curiously.

Zhang Yi's face was a little embarrassed, and he was asked again by Locke before he said, "Most people, this point should be off work." ”

"Off work?" Locke looked at Zhang Yi.

This man in his thirties was stunned by Locke's predecessor and couldn't raise his head, so he organized a language and said, "Although we have a second uncle in Maoshan who is helping in the government, but relying on the second uncle alone can't feed us hundreds of people in Maoshan at all." ”

"These palaces and pavilions are all left over from the previous dynasty, and now they are taken care of by my third uncle, and they are visited as tourist attractions for tourists who come to visit. Zhang Yi explained, "This ticket and incense money accounts for a large part of our Maoshan funds every year, otherwise many of our senior brothers and junior brothers will not have the resources to cultivate." ”

"The third uncle went to Nanjing City to apply for tangible cultural heritage funds the year before last, but it didn't work, otherwise our life in Maoshan would be a little better. However, the second uncle said that he was already operating this matter, and there should be a special injection from the government in two years. Zhang Yan said honestly.

This is also a secret within Maoshan, and he also knows so much thanks to a master who is a great elder.

Locke nodded, he was indeed in the dilapidated side hall somewhere below, and felt a Taoist priest with a third level of qi training, most of whom was the third uncle Zhang Yan said.

Flying over this building pavilion, near the top of the mountain, Locke finally saw the true face of the Maoshan General Altar.

The Taoist hall here is cleaner and brighter than those halfway up the mountain, and there are bright yellow street lamps around the main altar, which is full of modern atmosphere.

There aren't many people here, and Locke made a cursory probe and felt that there were about fifty people.

Among the more than 50 people, less than ten people have really stepped into the qi refining period, and like Zhang Yan, there are about twenty or thirty people who stay in the qi feeling period, and there are more than 20 ordinary people left, who are miscellaneous servants recruited by the Maoshan faction.

"Isn't your Maoshan faction the largest faction in China? Locke, who had a general understanding of Maoshan's situation, sighed.

Zhang Yan said, "More than a hundred people are already big sects, and there are a few famous sects left, there are only twenty-one people in the Tianshan faction, a little more in the Dragon and Tiger Sect, and no more than fifty people, not to mention the Emei Sect, which is supported by more than thirty female sects." ”

At present, the Daomen forces in Huaguo, in general, can be said to be the dominant Maoshan faction, and the remaining three Daomen are slightly inferior.

But no one should laugh at anyone, in the era of the end of the law, science and technology are supreme, and if you can maintain the immortality of the Dao, it is really burning high incense.

Do you want to expand your sect, recruit more disciples, and gain the faith of the common people?

First of all, ask the government if the gun in the government's hand will agree.

Hundreds of years ago, Daomen could still rely on some slight Taoist techniques to stir up wind and rain in the Central Plains, and many rulers of all dynasties were loyal believers in Daomen.

But in the present two hundred years, it is better to save it.

No matter how strong the Taoist skills are, can they fight against planes and tanks?

If the bureau is angry, a missile will be smashed at you, and everyone will have to go to see Master Zu.

And Maoshan can still mix in all the Taoist sects, thanks to Zhang Yan Among their senior uncles of the previous generation, the second senior uncle is a talent, knows current affairs, and knows how to hug his thighs.

The one-hand acupuncture treatment is combined with the use of true qi, and the curative effect is superb, I don't know how many incurable diseases have saved the top level of the Chinese people, at least before the old man who has received the favor of Maoshan enters the earth, the Maoshan faction can safely ensure that the Taoist system is worry-free.

If you are not afraid of being miserable, you are afraid that you will be worse than others.

The examples of the Tianshan faction, the Dragon Tiger Gate, and the Emei Sect are all alive there, you must know that hundreds of years ago, every ten years, the leading position of the world's Daomen was the four major sects taking turns to sit in the village, but now it has become the hereditary replacement of the Maoshan faction.

There weren't many surprises from this Dao Gate, and Locke was not interested in wasting any more time, so he flew directly to the Patriarch Hall of the Maoshan Sect's General Altar, where there was a Taoist priest who was the strongest in his opinion.

Zhang Yan was temporarily suppressed by him and couldn't move.

In the patriarch's hall, a gray-bearded Taoist man, wearing a scarf on his head and holding floating dust, sat on a futon and meditated.

The Taoist has a ruddy complexion, gray hair, spotless, and a non-angry and self-authoritative appearance when meditating, so he is a master of the Tao.

A Qi practitioner at the sixth-level stage of Qi training, matching the knight level is just a mid-level squire.

This person can cultivate to this level, Locke has to admire his high talent, at least let Locke cultivate in this plane, he is at most Zhang Yan's level.

Lao Dao's age Locke felt like he was eighty years old, but because of his cultivation of Qigong, he only looked like an old man in his sixties.

Locke walked into the main hall, and the precise control of the first-level knight, and the unique elegance and agility of the wind system exercises, did not make a sound at all.

Lao Dao was still cultivating there, and he didn't notice at all that there was already a stranger, less than six meters away from him.

Walking to a position five meters away from the old road, Locke stopped, he had a hunch that if he took one step further, the old road might find him.

It seems that this door exercise is not useless, Locke thought.

And Zhang Yan, who was suppressed by Locke and couldn't move, couldn't believe it, he knew his master's strength best, but he didn't expect that in front of this foundation building senior, he couldn't even find out.

"Well, you're back. Lao Dao suddenly opened his mouth and said.

He didn't find Locke, but at such a close distance, it was Zhang Yan who had already discovered that part of his breath was leaking.

"Yes, I haven't seen you for half a year, your Maoshan True Scripture skills have improved greatly, even I, who is a master, almost didn't notice you coming in, let's talk about it, how do you feel when you break through to the first level of Qi training?"

No one answered him.

Lao Dao frowned, slowly opened his eyes, and saw that in front of him, in addition to the boy he was familiar with, there was also a gray-haired young man with a sly smile.

Locke, who suddenly appeared in front of him, did not panic Lao Dao on the surface, but what was actually shaking in his heart, only the old man himself knew.

"Dare to ask Your Excellency, why do you want to arrest me, a boy. The old man said with a blank expression, and he could see that his boy was subject to this young man.

Locke didn't talk nonsense with this old man, he directly stretched out his hand, and the surging fighting qi in his palm spewed out, directly turning into a fighting palm, and pinching the old way.

This time, Lao Dao was really scared.

His face was flushed, he was running his true qi, and he wanted to break away from Locke's fighting qi palm control, but he could see that the green tendons on his forehead were about to come out, but they still didn't break.

Lao Dao's true qi reserves are not as strong as Locke, so he only struggled for a minute or two, and then he gave up his strength and did not resist.

This made Locke, who wanted to try his old ways, shake his head.

The palm of his hand pressed to the head of the old man, and he was ready to read the memory directly.

"Don't, please let my master go!" said hurriedly on the other side, regaining his ability to open his mouth to speak.

Mental power invaded the brains of this old man, and to Locke's surprise, after experiencing a lot of resistance, Locke's consciousness was squeezed out.

"Divine thoughts?" Locke wondered.

He could feel that he could use the powerful spiritual power of a first-level creature to forcibly break through the old Dao's divine thoughts, but this was more than worth the loss, for that bit of knowledge in the old Dao's brain, it was not worth it for Locke to spend so much spiritual power.

Looking at Lao Dao, whose face was ugly after being hit by the spiritual power, Locke was sure that he could get anything he wanted from his mouth.
