Longhu Mountain is located 20 kilometers southwest of YT City, Jiang Province. In the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Daoling, the founder of Zhengyi, had been alchemy here, and the legend was that "Dan became and the dragon and tiger appeared".

The place where Zhang Daoling founded Taoism was in Heming Mountain in Shuzhong, so the Heavenly Master Dao of Longhu Mountain was not created by him.

At the beginning, there was no title of Heavenly Master, and the title of "Heavenly Master" was added by later generations to show respect for Zhang Daoling.

It was not until the Yuan Dynasty that the title of "Heavenly Master" was officially recognized, and before that, the title of "Heavenly Master" was a folk self-title.

The Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master's Mansion was built by his great-grandson Zhang Sheng.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were wars and disputes, and the people had no fixed residence, and the same was true for the descendants of the Zhang family.

In order to avoid the war, the descendants of the Zhang family did not live in Sichuan, but moved to Longhu Mountain.

As for why he didn't go to Sichuan, because Zhang Daoling was originally from Jiangxi, and Longhu Mountain was the place where Zhang Daoling did alchemy in his early years.

It may be that Zhang Sheng, who carried the seal of the Heavenly Master, moved back to Longhu Mountain and began to renovate the place where the ancestor Zhang Daoling once cultivated. And on the third day of each year, he preached in Longhu Mountain.

Since then, the descendants of Zhang Tianshi have never left Longhu Mountain, and have lived for generations, and Longhumen has become one of the ancestral gardens of Taoism.

Zhang Daoling didn't know about it, but there was information about it in Langyu's database, and he also knew about it when he was chatting.

Interestingly, Zhang Sulin, who told Char's fortune at the beginning, was actually also a Taoist priest in Longhu Mountain, just look at his surname, I don't know how many generations of Zhang Daoling's grandson is.

After the monster appeared on the shore that day, Zhang Sulin rushed back to Longhu Mountain overnight with his little apprentice, and informed the elders in the mountain gate of what happened there.

In the council hall of Longhu Mountain, many old men wearing Taoist robes and with pale faces, goatees, and even gray beards sat in the center.

Zhang Sulin, who was sitting on the side, belonged to the younger one among these old people, and they seemed to be waiting for something.

Soon, a little Taoist priest walked in, and under the exquisite gaze of those old Taoist priests, he said.

"There's no news in the city, like it never happened."

Zhang Sulin frowned slightly, "How come, did you go and ask the people from the government?" ”

Many days have passed since what happened on the coast that day, and the place of occurrence is actually only one province away from Longhu Mountain.

"I just went to the government to ask." The little Taoist priest said.

Zhang Sulin couldn't help but look at the old man who looked at him, "Heavenly Master, there must be something wrong here, I saw it with my own eyes that day!"

I can swear to my ancestors. ”

The one he called the Old Heavenly Master was Zhang Peiyuan, the fifty-ninth generation Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, sitting in the middle position, wearing an evergreen coat, with white hair and beard, and he was already ninety-eight years old this year.

The Celestial Master was silent for a moment, closed his eyes and said in his old and calm voice.

"There is a nearby village where evil spirits have recently caused trouble, and they have asked for help in Longhu Mountain.

Surin, you can take a few disciples from the sect to take a look. ”

Zhang Sulin was a little speechless and stopped, but then he still sighed slightly, got up and saluted the old heavenly master.

"Yes, Heavenly Master."

With that, he withdrew from the chamber.

The old man on one side spoke, "I don't think what Surin said is a lie, and there is no reason to lie.

Maybe there really was a celestial being. ”

"When my grandfather was dying, he made a final calculation." The Heavenly Master said calmly, "He said that the ten thousand laws are declining, and the end of the law is falling. ”

"This is an era of the end of the law, not to mention heaven and man, even ordinary Taoism is not visible in the world."

He looked at the old man, "In this world, if you want to speak the orthodox law, no one can compare to my Longhu Mountain, but you ask yourself, how much real ability do you have?" ”

The old man fell silent and did not speak again.

"You and I both know Su Lin's heart to the Dao, and for this reason, he has searched all over the famous mountains and sought the Fa-rectification, and he has become a demon in his heart."

The Heavenly Master slowly got up from his position, although he was over ninety years old, he still looked healthy.

"When he comes back, talk to him more, learn to let go, and ...... enlightenment"

With that, he also left the place.

"Master."

Walking on the mountain path down the mountain, Zhang Sulin took three or four Taoist priests who had just joined Longhu to go to the village in the mouth of the old heavenly master.

The little Taoist boy named Ruixiang walked quickly to Zhang Sulin's side.

"When we were there, I heard people talk about the fact that the governor was going to build a port over there to connect Southeast Asia."

"So, you mean, he blocked the news so that the port project didn't go wrong?" Zhang Sulin was thoughtful.

Xiao Daotong nodded.

Zhang Sulin sighed, "It's pointless now, people want to block the news, and we don't have anything to do."

Do you have all the charms, mahogany swords, etc.? ”

Ruixiang raised the big cloth bag in his hand.

There are many villages near the foot of Longhu Mountain, and every year they will pay some incense money to Longhu Mountain, which is not much, but ask for peace of mind.

So if there is any evil cause among them, or if one of them dies, they will go down and do a ritual.

As soon as they entered the village, they were warmly welcomed by the head of the village.

The village chief was a short and fat old man dressed in a long hexagram, named Zhang Qiang, who was an old acquaintance of Zhang Sulin, but he looked very tired at the moment.

"Daochang Zhang, you are here." Zhang Qiang seemed to have seen a savior, "The people in the village basically haven't slept much these days. ”

The rest of the villagers who gathered around also said eagerly, "Yes, yes, it's too scary, Dao Chief, you must take that monster away!" ”

Looking at the villagers who were gradually making noise around him, Zhang Sulin said patiently.

"Don't rush, take your time, what the hell is going on?"

Zhang Qiang then motioned to the surrounding villagers to calm down.

He eased his emotions and said with palpitations, "About a week ago, the son of the old Yang Tou family returned to the village in an ox cart, and suddenly the old cow somehow went crazy, and was taken to the bottom of the cliff with the cow and the people.

The whole village searched for a whole day at the bottom of the cliff, but only found the carcass of a cow.

But in the afternoon of the same day, his son came back intact, without even bruising, saying that he had fallen down a tree and hung on a tree, and then fainted again.

It's a little strange, but everyone is happy when they come back, and the rest doesn't matter, and we don't care.

Who knows, in the next few days, things will be a little wrong.

There were fewer chickens and ducks in the village day by day, and we all thought they were weasels.

So we borrowed a few more dogs from the next village, but guess what? ”

The village chief's eyes carried an unspeakable fear.

"Just the night before, Widow Zhang went to the mountains to look for her dog, and saw the son of the old Yang Tou, disemboweling her dog, holding the dog's liver and heart and gnawing there, gnawing a mouth full of blood, and the ground was full of chicken bones and duck bones.

And the head of the old Yang."

"Widow Zhang was frightened, but fortunately she was knowledgeable, so she came to my door overnight to find me, and then I asked someone to notify Longhu Mountain."

Zhang Sulin frowned slightly, as a Taoist priest, he had definitely faced the most of this kind of thing in his life.

The more you see and the more you know, the more you will understand that most of these so-called ghosts are actually man-made disasters.

Either he deliberately pretends to be a ghost to achieve his ulterior purpose, or he is some kind of encephalopathy and mental disorder, so his behavior is different from ordinary people.

"Did you report it?" He said.

"It's reported." Zhang Qiang said, "The people from the government came in the morning, and you arrived in the afternoon, so they should all be in Lao Yangtou's courtyard at this time." ”

Zhang Sulin bowed his head, "Lead the way." ”

"Follow me." Zhang Qiang walked forward directly, led the way, and quickly walked to the door of the room.

The family was fairly wealthy, and there was even a small courtyard built of mud walls, the gate was closed, and it was quiet inside, and there was no sound at all.

Zhang Sulin turned his head to look at his apprentice, who hurriedly took out a demon sword and some charms from his body.

He took the sword in his hand and carried the charms in his pocket.

For him, although it may not be useful or useful, it can always add some security to it.

Then, he took a deep breath and walked in, and a strong smell of blood came to his nose, and he frowned instantly.

Then, as far as his gaze could reach, his pupils trembled violently in an instant.

He saw corpses all over the place.

Dressed in official uniforms, he fell to the ground with mutilated limbs, some weapons also fell to the ground, blood stained the courtyard red, and a strong smell of blood came to his nose.

Several of his disciples also followed, and when they saw the corpse in this place, their pupils trembled violently at that moment.

The house was a bungalow, with only one floor, the kitchen, bedroom, and dining room in one room, and the door of the house was open, and a man in peasant clothes was eating with his back to them.

As if sensing someone coming in, he slowly turned his head.

When they saw the man's face, everyone's scalps were tingling.

Half of his face was wiped out by the guns, revealing the blood vessels and bones inside, and there was a large wound on the top of his head.

He was gnawing on a heart in his hand, and as he gnawed, some minced flesh and blood fell out of the gap on one side.

Seeing Zhang Sulin and the others, he slowly grinned the corners of his mouth and made a sound from the depths of his throat.

"Daoist?"

It sounded strange, like two people talking together.

"The thing I hate the most is the Taoist priest."

Zhang Sulin reacted, although his heart trembled, but he also understood that he had really encountered something unclean.

He immediately took out the charm from his body and squeezed it in his hand, and scolded him fiercely.

"Bold! What kind of demon dares to hurt people in broad daylight!

I am a disciple of the Great Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, and I am not quick to ambush you! ”

Zhang Sulin originally planned to use these words to deter this evil ghost, but obviously, when the evil ghost heard the name Dragon Tiger Mountain, the anger in his eyes became even stronger.

"Longhu Mountain, there are two things I hate the most in my life, one is a Taoist priest, and the other is Longhu Mountain."

He raised his head to look at Zhang Sulin, and the smile on his face became even more hideous.

"It's a coincidence that you're here."

Zhang Sulin swallowed his saliva slightly, and continued to pretend to be calm.

"The elders of my division have rushed to this side, he is a living immortal god, a Taoist heavenly master, and he has a mark on his left hand as soon as he was born, if I am you, surrender quickly, otherwise, it will be a god form!"

The evil ghost smiled disdainfully, "Don't think that I don't know the current situation of your mountain gate, in this era, even your heavenly masters may not be as powerful as me."

The Ghost King should have led his troops to attack Dragon Tiger Mountain by now.

You guys, let's worry about yourself first! ”

The place where the underworld meets the world is near Longhu Mountain, in fact, the reason why Zhang Daoling's descendants chose to establish a mountain gate here is for the purpose of stationing here.

This is not a coincidence, but an inevitability.

And in the process of stationing this node, a similar thing has happened, and countless powerful ghosts have escaped from the underworld.

Zhang Tongxuan, who was the eleventh Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain at the time, held the demon slaying sword left by Zhang Daolin and sealed all the powerful ghosts into the node, and he was the only one who was sealed.

The present human world is not suitable for the survival of souls, but the breath of Hades leaked from the connecting place provides the basis for the survival of these souls.

They knew that they would not be able to stay in the world for long, and they knew that the demons of Hades would inevitably arrest them if they reacted.

But they were born this time with only one purpose.

That is, when the Dao method of Longhu Mountain was exhausted, Longhu Mountain was destroyed to avenge the revenge of the year.

As the demon's words fell, he rushed towards Zhang Sulin like a cannonball.

Zhang Sulin's eyes obviously flashed a little panicked, but his reaction was also very fast, he took out the charm in his hand, and threw it very skillfully, the charm was accurately attached to the demon's body, and he also successfully stopped his movements.

Zhang Sulin's face was happy, but the next moment, the spell attached to the demon's body immediately began to spontaneously combust, and he quickly resumed his movements and continued to rush towards Zhang Sulin.

The blood-stained claws on his hands were very sharp, and all the officers and soldiers around him were basically pierced through the chest by these claws, killing them with one blow.

This is obviously also Zhang Sulin's ending.

He closed his eyes in despair, and the rest of the little Taoist priests around him also let out a frightened shout.

But then, he heard the sound of something cutting through the air, accompanied by a sword wind that struck his cheeks.

When he opened his eyes, the demon stood in front of him, his eyes wide open.

His head was split in two by some sharp weapon.

Behind him, a wooden sword sank deep into the wall of the masonry room, trembling slightly

At the same time, Zhang Sulin also noticed that on the wall of one side of the wall, there was a young man standing with his hands in his hands.

He was wearing a plain Ming robe,

The black pigmented face Ming Taoist robe, wide sleeves, chic and elegant, with a black Pan Li pattern belt tied around the waist, like a waterfall ink hair dancing without wind.

Although he looks young, his clear eyes are full of coldness, as if he can penetrate people's hearts.

The body is slightly thin, the clothes are fluttering, and the cold back seems to be integrated with heaven and earth, as if he has sewn his heart, lungs, body and mind into the vast sky, only the cold wind clings to the sky and flows into the deeper world.

Like a living immortal.
