Zhong Nanshan.
It is steep and beautiful, like a splendid painted screen.
Among them, the Louguantai is the most important.
According to legend, when Laojun turned into a mortal, he passed by here on a green bull.
Yin Xi knotted grass as a building, looked up at the Qianxiang, and saw the purple air in the east and the auspicious astronomical signs in the west. Knowing that a saint was going to cross the pass and heading to the west, he ordered his subordinates to sweep the road, burn some incense, and wait for the arrival of the saint.
After Laojun arrived, Yin Xi welcomed him into his home, performed the disciple ceremony, and kowtowed to him repeatedly to become his master and pray for the perfect way.
Laojun thus handed down the thirty-five chapters of the Jade Calendar and the five thousand words of the Tao Te Ching.
Later, Yin Xi attained Taoism and became an immortal. Laojun gave him a jade book with gold inscriptions and the title Mr. Wenshi. He was certified as the supreme real person and the prime minister of Yuqing, and he became one of the four prime ministers of Tianfu today.
The Lou Guan School of Taoism was also established.
After this good story spread, many ascetics from later generations came here because of its fame.
Wang Daoyi is one of them.
Today, the sixteenth generation leader of Lou Guan Sect is Yin Tong. Yin Tong is a descendant of Taihe Zhenren and Yin Xi's disciple Yin Gui.
Today, he is walking with Lu Xiujing and Yuande Zhenren, the seventh-generation masters of the Shangqing sect of Taoism in Maoshan, in the forest not far from Zhongnan Mountain, enjoying the beautiful scenery and discussing Taoism.
The two have a very good relationship.
We often meet together, travel to thousands of mountains and rivers, and sit and talk about Taoism.
Today, two people wearing Taoist robes met together again, admiring the beautiful scenery and debating the doctrines of the two schools.
While walking, Lu Xiujing suddenly stopped and reached out to stop Yin Tong: "Wait a moment."
Yin Tong took back the steps he took.
Then he saw a spiritual grass right under his feet that was stronger than the surrounding weeds.
Lu Xiujing conjured a jade bottle out of thin air, and dropped the nectar from the jade bottle onto the spiritual grass.
The spiritual grass suddenly glowed with white light.
Immediately afterwards, the spirit grass transformed into a young spirit boy with green hair and green eyes.
Lu Xiujing said with kind eyes, "Today, I will transform your soul and enlighten your mind. I hope you can do more good deeds in the future. Remember, don't do evil, otherwise I will personally kill you."
The soul boy seems to understand but not understand.
He looked at the two people in front of him timidly.
Finally, he nodded cautiously and left quickly.
Looking at the departing figure of the soul boy.
Yin Tong couldn't help admonishing Lu Xiujing: "Brother Taoist, every time you meet these rare and exotic beasts, you don't hesitate to enlighten them and open their spirits. Aren't you afraid that one day in the future, these rare and exotic beasts that you enlightened will do evil and cause misery to all living beings?" , will it damage your merit and be blamed by Heaven?"
When he heard about the Heavenly Court, Lu Xiujing's expression became obviously unhappy: "Huh! The ancient ministers below the Supreme Lord have endured the hardships of the past, and the three and five have lost their unity, and humans and ghosts are in chaos..." (This is 'Mr. Lu's Dao Men Ke Luoli' original text)
Yin Tong was frightened into a cold sweat and quickly stopped: "Brother Taoist, be careful what you say, be careful what you say!"
However, Lu Xiujing said disdainfully: "Be careful what you say? Why should you be careful? I just talked about them. What's wrong? Did they hear it? Will they take care of it?"
"Well……"
Yin Tong was speechless for a while.
Don't know what to say.
But it is true.
Nowadays, the world is full of wars, monsters roam freely, and the people are miserable. It has been an unknown amount of time since the gods and Buddhas in the sky appeared in front of people and helped the people out of their suffering.
Then, Lu Xiujing changed the topic and continued: "Besides, the spirit beasts that Pindao enlightened are all spiritual beings. Just like this spiritual grass just now, it can obviously absorb the essence of the sun and the moon and dominate the sunlight. Let yourself thrive. But it just branches into two ends, so that the other weeds can also be illuminated by the sun.
Such a spirit has a good nature. Pindao enlightens them, just hoping that they will not go astray in the future. After all, one less monster does evil, and one less mortal suffers. "
Yin Tong was thoughtful, neither agreeing nor rejecting.
After all, the two are from different factions.
The philosophy is different.
Some differences of opinion are inevitable.
After the interlude with the soul boy passed, the two began to walk, talk, and enjoy the scenery again.
When the two of them approached the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, they suddenly heard a group of Taoists discussing not far away.
"Brothers, you have to believe Pindao. Pindao didn't lie to you. The world outside is really messed up now! It's not an exaggeration to say that monsters are rampant!"
"Impossible. Pindao has just arrived at Zhongnan Mountain not long ago. On the way, he did not see the prevalence of monsters as mentioned by this Taoist brother."
"Pindao really didn't lie to you. If you don't believe it, you can ask Pindao's seven disciples. They also saw it with their own eyes."
The Taoist priest who said that monsters were rampant was Wang Daoyi who came from Gushe Mountain and passed by Chechi Kingdom.
The group of Taoist priests arguing with him, like him, all came from other places to seek immortality in Zhong Nanshan.
(In history, all of these people will eventually worship Yin Tong.)
At this time, Yin Tong and Lu Xiujing came over.
As soon as these Taoist priests saw the Taoist robes on their bodies, they quickly bowed and bowed: "I have seen a real person."
"I've seen a real person."
Lu Xiujing nodded, frowning slightly and said, "Tell me, what are you talking about?"
Afterwards, Wang Daoyi respectfully told the whole story again.
"Master, this is what happened. I witnessed this with my own eyes! There are really dozens of monsters rushing towards the village! There are a few more, and I can't see through their cultivation. Moreover, the magistrate over there He also took me to see the surrounding situation, and it is indeed as the magistrate said, the people are suffering unspeakably."
After Lu Xiujing listened, his mood seemed to be blocked: "You mean, all these things are caused by the tiger demon, the white deer demon, and the black sheep demon, these three monsters?"
Wang Daoyi nodded honestly: "The government over there did tell me so."
At this time, Lu Xiujing's brows furrowed even more tightly.
At this time, Yin Tong on the side suddenly sent a message to him: "Brother Dao, isn't the Chechi country he mentioned the place where you initiated the three spirit beasts? Could it be them..."
At this point, Yin Tong was embarrassed to continue talking.
Isn't it just embarrassing to say this?
And this is indeed the case, why doesn't Lu Xiujing know? Because Zhao Lei, White Deer, and Black Sheep were all inspired by him!
At first, he saw that the three beasts Zhao Lei, White Deer, and Black Sheep were particularly spiritual.
Especially the tiger would even take the initiative to stand in front of the white deer and black sheep to protect them.
That's why Lu Xiujing felt kindhearted and enlightened them.
I just didn't expect that this kind of thing would happen now.
It made him wonder, was his behavior really wrong?
So did he indirectly kill many innocent people?
Then, he sent a message to Yin Tong: "Brother Dao, I'm sorry. Pindao wants to go to Chechi Country."
Yin Tong didn't even think about it: "Pindao will go with you."
Lu Xiujing paused and nodded.
Because he didn't know how strong the monster Wang Daoyi said was unable to see through his cultivation.
Immediately afterwards, the two of them flew towards Chechiguo in the clouds and fog...
