C168 Longhu Mountains

Hawktan, Jiangxi Province, drove 20 kilometers to the west before reaching the boundary of the Longhu Mountains.

Longhu Mountain, as the "ancestral court" of Taoism, has the status and function of succeeding and succeeding Taoism and has great influence in the history of Taoism in China. The original name of Dragon Tiger Mountain is Yunjin Mountain.

Here, the peaks extend for dozens of miles, caused by a branch of the Elephant Mountain traveling westward. Legend has it that 99 dragons have gathered here. The mountain is shaped like a dragon plate, which is occupied by a tiger. The dragons and tigers are vying for power, and they are not willing to give up on each other. The water from the 24 rocks of the ninety-nine peaks was the softest of all. The water from the stream that wound around the mountain was filled with the Yang energy of ninety-nine dragons. The water from the mountain was green and full of spirituality.

Later, when Xiushui of Spirit Mountain was taken into consideration by the gods, there were only two Immortal Crane Guides, Zhang Daoling and his disciples, who went in and out of the mountain to practice alchemy. Mountain God's Perception. The appearance of a dragon and a tiger, replacing Yun Jin. From then on, Yunjin Mountain changed its name to Dragon Tiger Mountain and built countless Taoist temples. Among the Taoist cultural beauties, it was the head of the famous Taoist mountains and was known as the number one paradise of Taoism.

"Junior apprentice-brother, we have arrived at Longhu Mountain." Zhang Ling turned his head to look at the incomparably miserable Taoist Xuanqing, who was wrapped in a blanket in the back of the carriage, and said softly.

After hearing that, Taoist Xuanqing's eyes immediately lit up, he straightened his body, and after a series of intense coughs, he finally got out of the carriage. However, there were still some bloodstains on the corner of his mouth, and from the looks of it, if the mountain wind blew, he would be blown down from the mountain.

Turning his head to look at Dragon Tiger Mountain, Taoist Xuanqing felt even more confidence in his heart. Dragon Tiger Mountain was Zhang Dailing's cultivation practice area. Starting from the fourth generation Heavenly Master, Zhang Sheng, all the previous Heavenly Masters lived here. Forming the two great families of "Zhang Beizhong", the hereditary tradition in Chinese cultural history.

The Supreme Purity Palace and the Heavenly Master Mansion of the Han Dynasty were gifted with silver countless times and were expanded and repaired countless times. The palace's construction area, scale, layout, quantity, and specifications were the most important in the history of Taoism. In its heyday, Longhu Mountain had more than 80 Taoist temples, 36 Taoist academies, and several Taoist palaces. It was worthy of being called the 'Dao Capital' and was the world kingdom of Taoists.

Taoist Xuanqing was in the middle of lamenting about the magnificent scene of Dragon Tiger Mountain, when he saw an old Daoist with white beard and hair wearing a green robe slowly walking down the mountain road. He looked very saintly.

Upon seeing the old Daoist, Taoist Xuanqing couldn't help but tear up as he quickly rushed towards the old Daoist. He then kneeled on the ground and said to the old Daoist: "Unfilial disciple Xuan Qing greets Master!"

"Get up." The old Daoist looked at Taoist Xuanqing and sighed. Then, he slowly reached out and helped Taoist Xuanqing up from the ground.

Taoist Xuanqing stood up with a tinge of tears, looked at the old Daoist and said softly: "Master, I met a strong opponent at the bottom of the mountain. Not only was I humiliated by him to such an extent, even the Pisces Star Plate that you bestowed to me was stolen by that person! I beg you, Master, to help me out, you must kill that Lin Bai! "

"Shut up! "You insolent bastard, you still dare to shout and kill! If it wasn't for your arrogance, other people would have tortured you like this. Now you're asking for it yourself, don't blame others!" Upon hearing Taoist Xuanqing's words, the old Daoist immediately revealed a look of disrespect, his two long brows continued to dance in the wind as he berated.

"What?!" When Taoist Xuanqing heard the old Daoist's words, he was almost knocked unconscious by the mountain winds, and stared at the old Daoist in front of him in disbelief. Zhang Zhengyi, you're my master, why are you trying to make me your disciple? I've already been forced into this state, and you still say it's my fault!

Zhang Zheng stared at Taoist Xuanqing, and sighed, then said softly: "The battle of phase arts has always been like this, if you are lacking one move, no matter what kind of injury you have suffered, you cannot complain about it, it is all because of yourself! And looking at your injuries, if it wasn't for that person showing mercy to you, I'm afraid that you wouldn't even be able to preserve your name! "

"Master, why do you speak like that? I, your disciple, have worked so hard to raise money for my sect, and now that things have turned out like this, not only did you not feel any heartache, you even reprimanded me?!" Taoist Xuanqing looked up at Zhang Zheng Yi, his face was filled with disbelief, his mind was in a complete mess, his gaze at Zhang Zheng Yi was filled with confusion and unwillingness.

Zhang Zheng frowned, then looked at Taoist Xuanqing's miserable state, the displeasure on his face was retracted, and he spoke sincerely: "Xuan Qing, it's not like you do not understand our clan's rules, since the matter has already come to this point, there is no way to turn back, what can you say, follow me back to the mountain, rest well, in the future do not go down the mountain and cause trouble!"

"Master, I can't accept this!" Taoist Xuanqing kneeled on the ground, and said to Zhang Zheng with a tremble of his body.

Zhang Zheng shook his head and said in a low voice, "You are too arrogant and despotic. You deserve this for your crimes. You can't blame anyone else!"

The Taoist Xuanqing had been raised by Zhang Zheng from a young age. Zhang Zheng knew very well what kind of temper he had. This kind of matter really did not have any reason to stand up for Taoist Xuanqing.

When Taoist Xuanqing heard this, his heart was filled with disappointment. He had originally thought that once he returned to Dragon Tiger Mountain, his master would find him justice, but looking at the situation now, not only did his master not want to give him justice, it seemed that his master wanted him to stop taking revenge on Lin Bai, and act as if nothing had happened.

"We can't let this go like this. Senior has suffered enormous grievances. Father, you are just looking on helplessly. Not only are you not speaking up for senior, you are even helping him. What are your thoughts?" If this goes on, who would care about our Longhu Sect! " Zhang Zheng had just finished his words when a handsome young man walked down from the mountain path behind him.

When Taoist Xuanqing saw this young man, his extremely dejected expression immediately turned for the better. His eyes revealed a strange light. This young man's name was Zhang Jingying, and was a member of the's generation that cultivated together with him. However, this Zhang Jingying was Zhang Zhengyi's son, and he had displayed astonishing talent in the art of cultivation since he was young. He could be said to be the future of the Longhu Sect.

"Serenity, right now your heart is only thinking about cultivation, not the mundane matters of the mortal world. Didn't I tell you to watch the < Seven Gypsum straws > in the back mountain?!" Zhang Zheng turned his head and shouted at Zhang Jingying.

Zhang Jingying bowed towards Zhang Zheng, then said softly: "Father, Senior brother Xuan Qing has brought me well, usually when we return to the mountain, he will bring me some good things, this time he is severely injured, so as junior brother, I should be the one who comes over to see him."

After Zhang Zheng heard this, he shook his head and did not speak anymore. He waved his sleeves and turned to look at Zhang Ling: "Go back to the mountain, what are you still doing here?"

"Senior brother, may I know the name of the person who harmed you this time?!" Zhang Jingying carefully supported Taoist Xuanqing, and after putting some distance between himself and Zhang Zheng, he asked softly.

Taoist Xuanqing suppressed the excitement in his heart and said softly: "That person is called Lin Bai, and is said to be a disciple of Celestial Fortune Telling Sect. But Junior Brother, don't meddle in this matter anymore, so that Master won't be unhappy!"

"Senior Brother, what are you saying? You've been bullied to this extent, as a junior brother, how can you just sit there and not care about it?" That brat is the descendant of the Celestial Fortune Telling Sect, I want to see what capabilities their Celestial Fortune Telling Sect has, and I want to let everyone know, my Longhu Sect is the number one sect in terms of cultivation, and that Celestial Fortune Telling Sect is nothing more than a bunch of chickens and dogs! " Zhang Jingying's eyes lit up, and said solemnly.

Ever since he had lost all of his cultivation in phase technique, Taoist Xuanqing had never been this happy. Although his master was unwilling to help him, his junior brother was also a rare genius in phase technique, and compared to his own methods, he was much stronger, more than enough to deal with Lin Bai.

"Jingwen, Xuan Qing, what are you two mumbling about behind us? Why aren't you two following us?!" Zhang Zheng turned his head and saw Taoist Xuanqing and Zhang Jingying muttering to himself and shouted.

Hearing Zhang Zheng's words, the two of them did not dare to speak anymore. They sped up their pace and chased after him.

When they arrived at Dragon Tiger Mountain, Zhang Zheng arranged for the disciples to find a quiet room for Taoist Xuanqing to recuperate in, then called Zhang Jingying over to his room.

"Do you think I'm being too cruel to your Senior Brother today?!" Zhang Zheng, with his brows lowered and his eyes focused on the ancestral tablet for an incense stick, turned his head and asked Zhang Jingying, who had a faint expression of dissatisfaction on her face.

Zhang Jingying nodded her head, and said in a deep voice: "I feel that you are too timid, Father. I'm afraid that what you fear is the power that is behind that brat called Lin Bai. Even if his master Li Tianyuan is still alive, how could he possibly do anything to our Longhu Sect?! "

Seeing Zhang Jingying's unconvinced look, Zhang Zheng was startled, but immediately revealed worry.

"There is a rule for people to use the art of marriage, his mystical techniques are inferior, this is something that he brought upon himself, but if my Longhu Sect were to make a move on this matter, it would mean that he has betrayed the rules that have been passed down for many years, and will be exposed by others in the future!" Zhang Zheng said slowly.

Zhang Jingying coldly snorted, and said: "No matter what you say, it's still because you're cowardly, father. Right now, how are there still so many rules in the Xiang Sect, only people the size of a fist have strength to speak!"

After Zhang Jingying finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the house. Zhang Zheng looked at Zhang Jingying's figure as she angrily walked out, let out a long sigh. Then, he knelt in front of the tablets of the previous sect masters, and softly said:

My ancestors, please bless my Longhu Sect and save this child from any calamity!
