In the legend about Zhang Daoling, after he received the teachings from Taishang Laojun and was given a treasure, he said to him: "Recently, there are six ghosts and gods in Shu, which are harming the people. You can rectify them for me and make people more peaceful." There are distinctions between ghosts and day and night, in order to bless the living beings. In this way, you will have immeasurable merits and be able to ascend to the immortal status." Zhang Daoling quickly accepted the order and led his disciple Wang Chang and others all the way to Shu.
Then there is the story of him fighting the six demon kings, eight ghost commanders and millions of ghost soldiers on Qingcheng Mountain.
And he sent all these ghosts, gods and ghost soldiers to the underworld alone, dividing Yin and Yang.
Of course, he was the one who set up the altar at that time, communicated with the heavens and received blessings from the gods, and he also had the destiny of heaven in his body, so he was naturally invincible.
It's obviously not feasible for him to face these things now, not to mention that he is not in peak condition now.
But the deterrent power brought by such legends is enough to deter these evil spirits.
Zhang Tongxuan, who sealed them at the beginning, was the eleventh Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, and Zhang Daoling was the first Ancestral Heavenly Master, Zhang Tongxuan's master and ancestor.
The disciples and disciples beat them as if they were grandsons, let alone the Ancestral Master?
Donkey Face came back to his senses. Without hesitation, he turned his head and tried to hit the barrier.
But how could Zhang Daoling let him run away? There was always a price to pay for killing so many Taoist disciples.
He lifted up a blank talisman, bit his finger and wrote something on the talisman. Then, he stepped forward, pinched his fingers, and recited the mantra quickly.
"The Flame Spirit, the Vermilion Bird, soars. The magic pen is connected to Bingding. The Flame Goddess holds the imperial bell. Samadhi True Fire, quickly controls Zhu Ling. The Three Platforms assist, and the messenger descends the spirit. Fire Wheel God General Song Wuji, quickly holds The wheel of fire burns ghosts and extinguishes them. It’s as urgent as a law!!!”
The talisman is the Hell Fire Talisman, and what is recited orally is the Hell Fire Mantra.
Bring hell to the human world to punish demons and ghosts!
The dazzling firelight appeared out of nowhere, as if coming out of every inch of the void, and immediately filled the entire square. The hot firelight reached the sky, lighting up half of the sky.
The scorching heat seemed to distort the space.
Flame is extraordinary fire, it can burn nothing.
Donkey Face felt the heat of the flames, and he knew that he would not be able to escape if he did not resist. He immediately turned around, and black mucus emerged from his body and rushed towards the flames.
The mucus collided with the flame, and with a dull impact, the liquid in contact with the flame was instantly vaporized, and the black liquid that followed also made a sizzling sound as it collided with the flame.
The flames overflowed in all directions, and the evil ghosts around him were instantly carbonized by the flames, and their souls flew away.
But the donkey face was still struggling to hold on. He roared, and his figure became larger and larger, even vaguely trying to compete with the fire.
But this curse is a divine curse.
The divine power cannot tolerate resistance.
A divine bird appeared faintly in the flames. It had a thin neck, wide wings and a beautiful tail. The divine bird drew its neck and sang loudly. The flames soared up and shot up, until they were tens of feet high in the sky, and the fire illuminated the surrounding areas!
Even in several villages near the foot of Longhu Mountain, you can see the soaring fire and the beautiful bird.
Zhang Qiang and the villagers opened their mouths slightly and looked at the firebird on the top of Longhu Mountain in disbelief. After being shocked, they lay down on the ground and kowtowed.
In the foreseeable future, Longhu Mountain should have one more legend about the sacred bird that protects the mountain.
Seeing the divine bird, the donkey-faced evil ghost's face lost the arrogance it had just now, and instead was gradually shrouded in deep fear, begging for mercy again and again.
"Wait, Celestial Master!"
"I was wrong, Heavenly Master!"
"I can"
But Zhang Daoling obviously would not listen to his excuse and did not wait for him to finish.
With a bird song, the Suzaku divine bird swooped down, leaving a long mark of flames in the air, and hit the monster directly.
"boom!"
With a loud noise, hot flames suddenly exploded in all directions, directly overturning the houses and walls on one side.
But then, as the flames dissipated, the entire square was empty except for the Taoist priest and Zhang Daoling, who were protected within the shield.
The group of evil ghosts, including the donkey-faced ghost king, were completely destroyed by the Suzaku fire.
The world suddenly became quiet.
If it weren't for this scorched and even magma-like battlefield, as well as the scorching heat that still lingered in the air, these Taoist priests would have thought that everything just happened was just their imagination.
Because the fight they saw tonight was too shocking and impacted their worldview too much.
Although they are Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain, known as the Taoist Holy Land.
But they didn't know until this moment
It turns out that humans can really possess such divine power.
Soon, the shield that enveloped them disappeared.
At the same time, Zhang Sulin and others also ran back from the bottom of the mountain. They were panting and sweating profusely. It was obvious that they had run all the way back.
They looked at the charred land around them and the tragic situation there, with a little horror in their eyes.
But then they saw that most of their fellow disciples were safe and sound, and they saw Zhang Daoling with a calm face, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
Because they understood that the matter should have been solved by the Ancestral Master,
They hurried forward.
Zhang Sulin suppressed the excitement in his heart and said to Master Tian.
"Master, he is"
"I already know." Zhang Peiyuan stroked his beard and responded calmly.
He glanced at the other Taoist priests behind him, and they all saluted Zhang Daoling in unison.
"I've met the Ancestral Master!"
Zhang Sulin also responded and bowed down together.
"Get up." Zhang Daoling said.
Then they slowly stood up.
Zhang Peiyuan suppressed the excitement and tension in his heart and tried to appear as calm as possible. He looked at Zhang Sulin.
"Su Lin, the heavenly being you met back then was the Ancestral Heavenly Master, right?"
Zhang Sulin was stunned for a moment, but then shook his head, "No."
Zhang Peiyuan raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Zhang Daoling, on the other hand, was somewhat interested.
"Heaven?"
"A few days ago, a sea monster appeared on the coast of Beichen to cause chaos. A heavenly man appeared and used thunder to attract the celestial phenomena to subdue the monster." Zhang Sulin said, "That man was dressed in a mysterious robe, with white hair and a childlike face. He had an extraordinary temperament and a handsome appearance. It's like banishing an immortal to the mortal world..."
"Is there an equally extraordinary woman accompanying you?" Zhang Daoling asked.
"Yes." Zhang Sulin said with some surprise, "How do you know?"
"That's my master." Zhang Daoling said.
Hearing the sound, all the Taoist priests present were stunned.
The Master of the Ancestral Heavenly Master, isn't that right?
Zhang Sulin also reacted. After realizing what kind of existence he saw, his head almost exploded with a buzzing sound, and he froze in place.
This kind of existence cannot be easily seen by ordinary people. Seeing it is a chance.
So this made Zhang Sulin a little worried about gain and loss at the moment. He didn't know whether he had seized this opportunity or not.
"It was also him who pulled me out of the long river of time and allowed me to live a new life."
Zhang Daoling did not continue this topic, but said to Master Tian.
"Is everyone here?"
The old Heavenly Master nodded, "If nothing else happens, we should hold a fasting ceremony next, so all the Taoist disciples are here."
"Is that so? These evil ghosts have found a good time."
Zhang Daoling's eyes flashed and he looked at the old Heavenly Master, "Where is the Yang Ping Zhi Du Gong Seal?"
When Zhang Tianshi founded the Five Pecks of Rice Road, he set up twenty-four governance in the land of Bashu, assigning orders to immortals, and the people of the world were guilty of sin, good luck, death, and life.
Yangpingzhi was the first place where the ancestor Tianshi promoted Taoism, and it was the first of the twenty-four orders of Taoism. The Yangping Zhidu Gong Seal represents Zhang Daoling's identity as a Celestial Master.
"Wait for me!" The old Heavenly Master then turned around and walked towards the main hall behind him.
A moment later, he held a simple large seal in his hand, seven inches thick, two and a half inches in width, made of jade and gold.
Zhang Daoling raised his hand, and the seal in Tianshi's hand flew out towards him, floating above his palm with a faint golden light.
I saw Zhang Daoling making secrets with his left hand and shouting loudly.
“City God of this realm, come and see me quickly!
Hurry like a law! "
Although the establishment of heaven no longer exists, the establishment of Hades still exists.
The city god is the underworld official who manages the affairs of the underworld in the area.
In addition to being a token of the Heavenly Master, the Yangping Zhidu Gong Seal is also used to command ghosts and gods.
The City God is the god who protects the city in Taoism, and is naturally under the management of Duyin.
Hearing Zu Tianshi summoning the City God, all the Taoist priests focused their attention on the vicinity of Zhang Daoling.
They knew that what they saw next might be something they would never see several times in their lives.
Soon, they saw a figure in ancient costume slowly appearing in front of Zhang Daoling. He had a Chinese character face, a rich complexion, and his beard and hair were glowing with black.
Ruixiang lowered his voice and said to Zhang Sulin, "Master, he is really just like the City God in the nearby City God Temple."
"Stop talking." Zhang Sulin lowered his voice and scolded.
The City God was obviously a little confused, wondering why he appeared here.
Longhu Mountain has not used this seal to command ghosts and gods for hundreds of years. Time always makes people forget some things.
But then, he heard the young man in front of him say in a questioning tone.
"As the city gods, you are supposed to ensure the safety of the whole place, but why do you do nothing when a ghost king leads thousands of ghost soldiers to cause chaos at the gate of Longhu Mountain?"
Although the city god was a little unhappy with this tone.
However, after hearing the ghost soldiers and ghost kings behind him and the Dragon Tiger Mountain, he reacted, restrained his emotions, and looked around.
There had obviously been a great war here.
Some of the charred land is still emitting residual warmth at this moment, which is enough to give a glimpse of how fierce the war that just happened here was.
He looked at the young man and soon discovered the large seal floating on his palm. Feeling the terrifying divine aura on it, thinking that this was Longhu Mountain, he quickly realized the identity of the young man in front of him.
Although he may not recognize the seal, Longhu Mountain is so famous, how could he not recognize it.
He immediately saluted Zhang Daoling.
"Yingtan City God Zhang Peifeng has met the Celestial Master."
Then, he raised his head and said with some confusion, "We haven't encountered large-scale evil ghosts in hundreds of years."
Zhang Daoling thought for a moment and said, "Is there a portal to Hades here?"
Zhang Peifeng seemed to have thought of something, his originally calm expression changed instantly, and he shouted in a panic.
"not good!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared directly from the spot without even saying goodbye. .
Zhang Daoling was not angry, he knew what the city god was doing.
He turned his head and looked at the Longhushan Taoist priests present again.
He pondered for a moment and continued.
"Old Taoist, I'm here today not to get rid of ghosts, but to give you a chance.
I will select a group of talented people in Longhu Mountain, go to a place, and grant you and others the true secrets of Taoism and the way to immortality. "
Upon hearing these words, the breathing of these Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain all stagnated a little.
As disciples of Longhu Mountain, they all know what this means.
Even the eyes of the old Taoist priests, who had gray hair on their temples and felt that they had given up worldly desires, had changed slightly.
Although Zhang Peiyuan was in the same agitated mood, in order to maintain his reputation as a heavenly master, he just said.
"Where is that?"
"I call it the Academy." Zhang Daoling said, "It can be said to be a rare paradise in the world, or at least the only paradise in Beichen.
However, that is not the place where my Taoism begins, but the place where all dharma gathers. There is Buddha, Taoism, and other dharma gates there.
The academy's wine sacrificer is even more of an ancient god. "
Zhang Daoling's words undoubtedly deeply attracted all the Taoist priests present. All of their eyes were shining and their breathing was somewhat rapid.
They had never been to the academy and didn't know what it was like there.
But what they know is that if they can be selected, their future will undoubtedly go in a completely different direction.
