Li Daoxuan looked at the corpse and felt a little surprised. Could he... have found the wrong place?

He retreated to the door to read the plaque.

Well, there is no plaque at all...

Li Daoxuan breathed a sigh of relief. Let me tell you, how could the unfathomable Taoist Zhang Qianyang live here?

Just as he was about to leave, the coffin in the yard suddenly trembled.

Li Daoxuan tensed up, holding the Five Thunder Talisman in one hand and pressing the hilt of the fish intestine sword with the other, staring closely at the coffin.

The coffin lid was pushed open, Zhang Qianyang sat up with a yawn and said with a smile: "You brat, why do you hit me with the Five Thunder Talisman every time we meet?"

Li Daoxuan breathed a sigh of relief, put away the Five Thunder Talisman, and said with a wry smile: "Taoist Master, why do you always lie in the coffin every time we meet?"

Zhang Qianyang laughed, jumped out of the coffin, and said: "Who doesn't have a special hobby? Besides fine wine, my favorite thing is to sleep in the coffin!"

He carried the body on the straw mat into the coffin, closed the coffin, and said: "This guy went to the mountain to chop firewood, and accidentally fell down. It was like a body that was torn apart. His relatives sent it to me, leaving one last." of decency.”

Li Daoxuan was surprised and said: "Taoist Priest, are you still doing this?"

Zhang Qianyang rolled his eyes at him and said: "Do you think everyone is like you and can pick up three gold ingots for nothing? These days, there are many businesses and many ways to go."

After that, he chuckled and said: "You must have been embarrassed on the way here. Most people in the county know me and think I am very unlucky. I'm afraid not many people will pay attention to you."

Li Daoxuan shook his head and smiled: "Fortunately, I finally found it."

Zhang Qianyang called Li Daoxuan into the room, which was very simple. In the center were two portraits, one of Lao Tzu riding a green ox, and the other of a purple-robed Taoist holding a magic sword and a jade seal.

Zhang Qianyang made a cup of tea, sat leisurely on the Taishi chair, crossed his legs, and said calmly: "You came to me because the snake demon is difficult to deal with."

Li Daoxuan was stunned and was about to explain, but was interrupted by Zhang Qianyang.

"Actually, I had expected that you would come to me for help. After all, the snake demon is not weak in Taoism. Even if you can find its weakness, it may not be helpful if the gap in cultivation is too big."

Li Daoxuan coughed and said: "Well, Daozhang Zhang——"

"It's okay. You're still young. You haven't been practicing Taoism for a long time. It's normal and not shameful if you can't beat him. It would be shameful if you still fight to the death and lose your life in vain!"

Zhang Qianyang said earnestly: "I asked you to kill the snake demon, just to see if you will keep your promise and if you have the courage to fight it. I am not asking you to die. You can be flexible and put down unnecessary shame." ,good!"

As he spoke, he took a sip of tea, obviously very satisfied with what he said.

After doing this, he not only tested whether the apprentice kept his promise, but also taught him the principle of flexibility in everything. The most important thing is that he can then take action to subdue the snake demon and leave an unfathomable image in the mind of the apprentice.

Back then, he was manipulated by the old man using this trick.

Li Daoxuan looked strange and said: "That Taoist priest, the snake demon... I have already killed him."

"puff!"

Zhang Qianyang spat out a mouthful of tea. He stared, plucked a few strands of his beard, and said, "You, you, you, what did you say?"

"I have already killed the snake demon. This time I came to see the Taoist Priest. I want to become your teacher and ask for advice on how to practice."

Afraid that Zhang Qianyang wouldn't believe it, Li Daoxuan waved his hand, and a huge corpse of a snake demon appeared on the ground. Even though it had been dead for so long, it still had a lingering demonic aura!

Zhang Qianyang was completely stunned.

When he saw the horns on the head of the snake demon, his eyes narrowed and he moved closer to observe it carefully. For a long time, he looked at Li Daoxuan as if he was looking at a monster.

"I made a miscalculation. This snake demon is not an ordinary snake demon, but a strange snake demon with the blood of a true dragon!"

There was a turmoil in his heart. Such a powerful snake demon with profound spiritual knowledge and true dragon bloodline was actually... killed by this kid alone?

Li Dao

"Taoist Priest, will I cause big trouble?"

Li Daoxuan was actually a little scared in his heart. If he killed the younger one and provoked the older one, and a dragon really came to take revenge on him, he wouldn't be able to stop it.

Zhang Qianyang sneered and said: "This kind of evil-doing monster, let alone a trace of true dragon blood, even if it is a true dragon, it will be killed anyway!"

After a pause, he glanced at Li Daoxuan and said: "You became a monk halfway and don't understand some secrets. Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, immortals and Buddhas have responded less and less to the human world. Until now, even the founder Zhang Daoling has stopped responding. I’m waiting for the disciples of Longhu Mountain.”

"Actually, this is an open secret. Many gods, Buddhas, immortals and demons, including the Dragon King of the Four Seas and Yama of the Ten Palaces, have stopped responding to human sacrifices. The technique of summoning gods and generals in Taoism has almost failed. Except for the land and mountain gods, It is already difficult to find traces of gods in the human world."

After that, he patted Li Daoxuan on the shoulder and said: "So don't worry, even if this snake demon has a real dragon father, I'm afraid it has disappeared now. Of course, even if it really comes, isn't it still there?" Master, it’s mine!”

Li Daoxuan was stunned for a moment, then there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, and he said: "Taoist Priest, what do you mean..."

Zhang Qianyang touched his beard and said with a smile: "You brat, you still call me Taoist?"

Li Daoxuan quickly knelt down to perform the apprenticeship ceremony, brewed a cup of tea and presented it to him.

Zhang Qianyang took it and took a sip, with a hint of emotion in his eyes. After many years, he was finally ready to accept a disciple again.

"Go and offer three sticks of incense to the ancestor and kowtow."

Li Daoxuan respectfully kowtowed to the two portraits in the center.

"On the left side of the portrait is Laozi, the founder of Taoism, and on the right side is Zhang Daoling, the founder of our Longhu Mountain lineage. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, he taught Master Taishang the magical method of the Book of Heaven, founded the Tao of Heavenly Masters, subdued demons throughout his life, and finally attained the Tao and ascended to heaven!"

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]

Zhang Qianyang himself bowed to the portrait, changing his past arrogance and becoming very humble.

"Zhang Qianyang, the eighth generation disciple of Longhu Mountain, hereby presents me. I open the altar today and salute you. I have gained a good disciple. He is a man of great ability and pure nature. He can be accepted as the true disciple. He will teach me the secret method of the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain to subjugate demons and bring peace to the world." By the common people!"

…

After performing the ceremony and paying homage to the ancestor.

Zhang Qianyang immediately looked closer to Li Daoxuan.

"Master, is this okay?"

Zhang Qianyang nodded and said: "Actually, there are still a lot of red tape and etiquette, but when you go out, keep everything simple. When you return to Longhu Mountain, you can just kowtow to the old man."

After thinking for a moment, he said to Li Daoxuan: "From today on, you are the ninth generation true disciple of Longhu Mountain. The ninth generation disciples use the character "Tai" as their nickname. Well... from now on, your Taoist name will be It’s too strong.”

"Taichong?"

Li Daoxuan coughed and said, "Master, can you change it to something nicer?"

Zhang Qianyang glared at him and said: "I gave this name because I want you to have more energy to help you achieve Taoism. If you are not satisfied, just call it Taixu!"

Too weak...

Li Daoxuan smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, let's call him Taichong. It's pretty good."

From now on, he is the ninth generation true disciple of Longhu Mountain and a Taoist priest from Taichong.

"By the way, Master, what is your Taoist name?"
