At the mouth of the Guanjiang River, rivers converge, surrounded by mountains on three sides, with the towering Shu Mountain at its back.
Shushan, here does not refer to a single mountain, but a huge mountain range that stretches throughout Shu, collectively called "Shushan", including Mount Emei, which is also part of Shushan.
In the Shu Mountain, there are countless monsters and rare beasts, and Qihuayao grass grows everywhere, and the most numerous ones here are the Cave Heaven Blessed Land and the Immortal Mountain Divine Mansion.
In ancient times, if you wanted to seek immortality, refine elixirs and collect medicines, Shushan Mountain was the place you must go.
The mouth of Guanjiang River is right in the middle of Shushan Mountain. It is like a jasper-colored key, blocking the door to the middle of Shushan Mountain.
People say that the road to Shu is difficult, and the road to Shushan is even more difficult. First of all, there are almost all steep cliffs outside Shushan. It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to climb. If you want to enter Shushan, the best way is to enter the mountain through the mouth of Guanjiang River.
If you want to enter the mountain from Guanjiangkou, there is one temple that you cannot bypass, that is Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun Temple, also known as Erlang Zhenjun Temple.
It is said that hundreds of thousands of years ago, demons and monsters were everywhere in Shu, and there was endless trouble and chaos, and the people were in dire straits.
At this time, a Taoist entered Sichuan, suppressed demons, eliminated epidemics and diseases, and saved all living beings. Finally, he founded the Taoist sect in Sichuan and taught the "Way of Zhengyi Mingwei", commonly known as the "Way of Five Pecks of Rice". He also built a Taoist sect on Qingcheng Mountain. The Taoist temple is called 'Qingcheng Mountain Temple'.
And this Taoist is Zhang Daoling, also known as 'Zhang Tianshi'.
However, after Tianshi Zhang ascended to immortality and was granted the title of Tianshi, he could only protect the living beings within a thousand miles of Qingcheng Mountain because he had not yet completed the teaching of Five Pecks of Rice.
At this time, those demons and ferocious beasts came back again, so Erlang Shen asked himself to open a dojo at the mouth of Guanjiang River to guard the gate in the middle of Shushan Mountain.
Also since Erlang Shen opened his dojo at the mouth of the Guanjiang River, there have been no demons above the level of true immortals making trouble in the entire Sichuan Plain. At most, they are just some little monsters making trouble.
Naturally, Erlang Shen disdained these little monsters, so major cultivation sects in Shu, including Qingcheng Mountain, used swords to eliminate the monsters, and gradually formed a unique way of practice among Shushan monks.
Because Shu is located in the southwest of the Tang Dynasty and has inconvenient transportation to the outside world, and various monsters and ghosts are frequent, the monks in Shu place the most emphasis on physical martial arts practice, which is somewhat different from the monks elsewhere who focus on cultivating the mind.
Later, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva opened a Taoist temple in Mount Emei, and the number of demons and monsters in the plains of central Sichuan became less and less, and most of them gathered in the vast Shu Mountains.
This is normal. The three major forces of Taoism, Buddhism, and Heaven have gathered in the entire Shu region. They take turns attacking these demons. No one can hold them back.
...
At this moment, deep in the Shu Mountain, a loud and high-pitched barking of a dog echoed throughout the mountains and rivers, startling countless birds and animals.
In an instant, I saw a thin waist with white hair, a bright body, and long legs. The majestic and fierce divine dog stepped on the wind and clouds, and drove those monsters out of thousands of mountains and valleys with its overwhelming divine power.
Most of the monster beasts trembled under the power of this white-haired divine dog, but some monster beasts still ran away like the wind.
The trembling white-haired divine dogs of the demonic beasts did not pay attention, but instead chased the fleeing demonic beasts forward.
The worst of these demonic beasts are those of Xuanxian cultivation, but because they have not yet been born with spiritual intelligence, they cannot transform into demonic cultivators.
They still rely on the most primitive animalistic drive, and from time to time they will rush out of Shushan and cause harm to the world.
I saw the white-haired divine dog flying into the sky and escaping to the ground. It was so majestic that it drove dozens of monsters away with nowhere to hide.
When these monsters were chased by the white-haired divine dogs to a mountain ridge, they saw a handsome and elegant man in yellow clothes with hair tied in a flying hairpin. Standing on the ridge is a man with a majestic figure and handsome appearance. There is a majestic vertical eye on the forehead. He holds a green dragon carved bow in his left hand and a phoenix feather and gold lacquer quiver on his waist.
I saw the man's eyes looking at the monster beasts rushing towards the mountains, rivers and sky in front of him, and he immediately bent his bow and drew an arrow.
Just hearing a few arrow sounds of "咻" "咻" "咻", the green golden feather suddenly turned into a shooting star and flew out.
The next moment, I saw the monsters with Xuanxian and Taiyi Xuanxian cultivation falling down one after another. The arrows penetrated the bodies of those monsters with extremely hard bodies like cutting tofu. Amidst the blood splashing all over the sky, those monsters The beasts died one after another, falling like raindrops.
At this time, the man retracted the treasured eagle bow, raised his right hand and waved, and hundreds of grass-headed gods of the Xuanxian Taoism immediately emerged from behind and flew straight towards the place where the monsters fell.
Just a moment later, the hundreds of grass-headed gods carried a dozen huge monster corpses back to the mountain ridge.
"Grandpa is good at archery!" A grass-headed god praised: "With only six arrows, he killed six Taiyi Xuanxian monsters and ten Xuanxian monsters. Now the little ones can have a good meal. ”
The man smiled faintly, then raised his hand and waved, only to hear a loud barking sound, and then the extraordinary white-haired divine dog flew up to the man on the blue clouds, sticking out his tongue and asking for credit from the man expectantly. .
The man casually took out an elixir that was fragrant and threw it over. The white-haired divine dog immediately jumped up and swallowed it.
After the white-haired divine dog swallowed the elixir, he immediately lay at the man's feet with a look of enjoyment and absorbed the power of the medicine.
This elixir is the favorite elixir of the white-haired divine dog. It is made from Samantabhadra's Three Wonderful Golden Lotus seeds. At that time, the man exchanged seven lotus seeds from Samantabhadra and refined twelve furnaces of elixir. A total of one thousand two hundred pieces.
but...
"There are only thirty elixirs left, enough for you to take thirty more times." The man said slowly.
When the white-haired divine dog heard this, he immediately raised his head, looked at the man pitifully with wide eyes, and let out bursts of heart-wrenching sobs.
Yes, this man is Erlang Shenye, the god of war in heaven and the protector of the country in the mortal world, who is also known as the "True Lord of Qingyuan Miaodao".
And this white-haired divine dog is Erlang Shen’s divine beast Roaring Heavenly Dog.
"If you don't go to Yaochi to cause trouble, I can go to Puxian Bodhisattva to exchange some golden lotus seeds for you." Erlang Shen said: "But if you run to Yaochi, I don't know how much merit you will have to pay in order to settle this matter."
"Then there will be no compensation." A voice as childish as a baby came out of Xiao Tian Quan's mouth: "Obviously they tricked me into eating flat peaches, so the Golden Girl of Yaochi wants me to follow her in the future, and I won't follow her. , I only follow the master."
Erlangshen was speechless when he heard this. This matter can be said to be simple or complex.
To put it simply, the Golden Lady of Yaochi liked the Roaring Heavenly Dog very much. She took advantage of her absence that day to trick the Roaring Heavenly Dog into the Yaochi Fairyland, and then she wanted to trap the Roaring Heavenly Dog in the Yaochi and not allow him to leave.
Roaring Sky Dog was very unhappy when he realized it. You lied to me to come here to eat peaches, but you actually wanted to hug me!
So Roaring Heavenly Dog got angry, broke away from Yaochi Golden Girl's arms on the spot, and flew directly out of Yaochi.
At that time, the Golden Girl of Yaochi had already set up a beast trap, and the Roaring Sky Dog was not allowed to leave Yaochi, so it came back and bit the Golden Girl of Yaochi on her ankle, pulling her to the ground.
Because the golden girl of Yaochi held the array card in her hand, the trapped beast array collapsed after falling. Roaring Sky Dog quickly took advantage of this opportunity to escape from Yaochi.
The complicated thing is that the Golden Girl of Yaochi is the confidant and messenger of the Queen Mother of the West.
The Queen Mother of the West is the essence of the innate Taiyin, which reconciles Yin and Yang, summons all spirits, and governs the true sage. She is the sect of female immortals in heaven and earth, in the three realms and ten directions. Women who ascend to immortality and achieve Taoism are subordinate to Xian.
Although Erlang Shen is not afraid, it is very annoying to be blocked by a group of female fairies at the door every day.
Although the previous Heavenly Judges who were ordered to handle this matter were temporarily stumped by him, this matter will eventually be settled.
Moreover, the Golden Girl of Yaochi had been plotting against the Roaring Sky Dog for more than a day or two. When the Golden Girl of the Yaochi was still young, she secretly carried the Roaring Sky Dog twice, and it was Erlang Shen who came to the door and asked for it back.
So what gives Erlang Shen a headache is that this matter is easy to solve, but how to dispel the Yaochi Golden Girl's intention to plot the Roaring Dog is the most difficult thing.
At this moment, a fairy light suddenly flew from the direction of Guanjiangkou. When the fairy light dissipated, a man of golden immortality appeared.
This man was "Kang Taiwei", one of the "Meishan Six Brothers" under Erlang Shen. After seeing Kang Taiwei appear, he immediately stepped forward and worshiped Erlang God: "Reporting to the True Lord, there is another one coming outside Erlang Temple. Judge Heaven.”
Erlang Shen asked calmly: "Who is coming this time?"
Taiwei Kang's face looked a little solemn, and he immediately reported: "This is Hongqing Zhenren Fangjian!"
