Chapter 3: Changed world, vixen snatches bride(1/2)
Zhang Muzhi stood in front of the Taoist temple and watched from a distance.
The vast farmland at the foot of the mountain is a busy spring plowing scene.
The weeping willows by the field sprout tender buds, swallows fly low, and peach blossoms are bright red.
The farmer shouted and waved his whip, and the ox pulled the rake and walked in the field.
There is a narrow and rugged path in the field winding over, connected to the stone steps at the foot of the mountain.
There are many houses made of wool thatched soil in the distance, and there are curling smoke rising in the cooking stove.
A courtyard with white walls and gray tiles vaguely visible from a distance should be the residence of wealthy families.
"Looking at the trend of mountains and rivers, it is still near Jinling..."
Zhang Muzhi also saw that all the farmers in the field were wearing short shirts and had buns on their heads, and there was a hidden guess in his heart.
"The people have not shaved their hair. It is not surprising that it was under the Qing Dynasty. Could it be the Zhuming Dynasty?
"I just don't know what year it is?"
Zhang Muzhi closed the viewing door, walked down the hillside along the stone steps, and walked towards the village in the distance.
Four or five children from the corners of Tianbian Road were running and chasing. After seeing Zhang Mu, they gathered together.
A leading boy asked with a smile:
"Brother Taoist, are you from Longhu Mountain?" The accent is similar to that of Jinling in later generations.
Zhang Muzhi's heart thumped and nodded, "I came from Longhu Mountain..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw these little children yelling and running towards the distance.
"Grandpa, grandpa, the Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain is here!"
"How do you know where I came from?"
Zhang Muzhi was shocked and followed a few children, trying to find someone to ask what was going on.
The children ran along the trail for about ten feet, and then turned into the fields beside them.
After a while, five or six men followed a few children.
The leader was a thin old man in his fifties, with gray hair and full of energy.
When everyone came closer, Zhang Muzhi bowed first:
"I am the One of the Heavenly Lords of Blessings, I will pay tribute to you!"
Everyone was stunned, and the old man hurriedly bowed: "You are polite! You are polite! Did Taoist priest really come from Longhu Mountain?"
Zhang Muzhi nodded: "I do come from Longhu Mountain and are now staying at Laojun's view!"
The old man asked again: "Don't you know the surname Changgui?"
"I'm the only one who's surname is Zhang."
"It turns out that he is a disciple of the Tianshi Mansion, and he is disrespectful!"
The old man was overjoyed: "The Taoist priest hasn't eaten yet. If you don't dislike me, please come with me!"
A tall man behind him whispered: "Look, he is still a baby, what can he do..."
The old man was furious: "Tie Niu! What are you talking nonsense! Be careful that I will suck you!"
Then he smiled at Zhang Muzhi: "Don't blame Taoist priest! This child has been lacking in upbringing since childhood and will become accustomed to being chaotic!"
"Don't get angry, my father-in-law, this elder brother said very well. I have lost my skills in my practice at the beginning, and my Taoism is very shallow!"
The old man laughed: "The Taoist priest is too humble. Who doesn't know that the Taoist priest Zhang of the Tianshi Mansion must be capable as long as he can go down the mountain to walk! Come on, let me wait for some entertainment, and just treat the Taoist priest to welcome him!" After that, he raised his hand to lead the way.
Zhang Muzhi couldn't explain clearly, so he had to say, "I saw that the elder had known that I had come from Longhu Mountain, but I don't know why?"
The father-in-law laughed and said loudly: "I dare not be called an elder. I call Taojia Village here. The little old man is the leader of this place. The Taoist priest calls me Old Man Tao!"
Zhang Muzhi quickly changed his word to Mr. Tao. Old Man Tao was in a very good mood and explained the reason while walking.
It turned out that Laojun Temple was built by a Taoist priest named Xie. It is rumored that his master graduated from the previous generation of Tianshi Zhang Yuchu.
Twenty years ago, Taoist Xie traveled here and saw that there were many evil spirits and evil spirits here to harm the people, so he built a temple and secret cultivation here.
According to Old Man Tao, Master Xie is very skilled in cultivation and is good at using talismans and techniques, but he is good at curing diseases and is effective in squeezing ghosts and demons. Since he arrived here, he has been treated many people, so the local people are mostly grateful for their virtues.
Until last month, Taoist Xie suddenly said that his deadline had come and he was about to drive to the south palace of He and said goodbye to everyone.
All the villagers were deeply saddened. Master Xie told everyone that he had sent a letter to Longhu Mountain. A descendant of Longhu Mountain would come here soon and continue to protect the people here for Taoist Xie.
Zhang Muzhi couldn't help but speak: "I wonder why Taoist Master has surrendered to you?"
Old Man Tao laughed and said, "Most of them are zombies, evil spirits, mountain goblins, etc., and the old man can't explain it clearly."
Zhang Muzhi asked again: "Why are there so many evil spirits here doing evil?"
Old Man Tao was stunned: "I can't say this well. I heard from Master Xie mentioned it. It seems that this is the junction place here, and the City God doesn't care about it..."
Zhang Muzhi nodded silently and stopped asking, but his heart was overturned.
"It turns out that unlike the Dharma-Ending World, there are city gods and ghosts in this world, so naturally there should be gods showing their holy things..."
"Tao Ren Xie said that he drove the crane Nangong. This is the third-class Taoist fruit in Taoism. He cultivated into a Yin God. After his death, he was able to be immortals and immortals. He was trained to reunite with water and fire. He could serve as an immortal official and a general..."
"In this way, Taoist Xie should have failed to cultivate the realm of the Supreme Sun God, otherwise he would be the second-class immortal Taoist fruit!"
"You can have a premonition that I am coming from later generations before I become a yang god?"
Zhang Muzhi had many thoughts in his mind, but he couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
"After you come, you will be at peace. Let's first take this Laojun Temple as a place to rest. After you have achieved success in your practice, you will go to Longhu Mountain."
As for Zhang Mu's actions are shallow, whether he can deal with ghosts and evil spirits like Taoist Xie, there is no need to worry too much.
Zhang Tianshi, the master of Longhu Mountain, received the second-grade Taoist talisman, and could use the talisman to inspire the great power of the gods to deal with evil devils.
Several people walked and talked, and soon they came to the village. After a while, they got to a house.
"The Taoist priest is waiting for a moment. When Taoist priest Xie left the relics and handed them over to the old man for safekeeping. They are now enshrined in the ancestral hall. I'll get them."
After saying that, Old Man Tao turned around and entered the ancestral hall. Soon after, he wrapped it out with a wooden sword and a blue cloth.
"Master Xie told me that I would hand over these to the next Laojunguan host and to give them to Master Zhang today, which would be considered as fulfilling my entrustion."
When Zhang Muzhi took the wooden sword, he realized that it was made of high-quality peach wood, more than three feet long, with a color as red copper and as gentle as jade.
When I opened the bag, there were more than a dozen cinnabar talismans and a thin handwritten copy.

Zhang Muzhi put Faben into his arms and picked up the talisman paper to take a closer look.
At the top are several talismans of the Heavenly Master, followed by the thunder magic talisman papers such as the Five Thunder Talisman, the Mountain Thunder Messenger Talisman, the Train Talisman and other thunder magic talismans.
"It's the technique of inheriting the talismans in my Tianshi Mansion!"
Zhang Muzhi held a talisman in his hand, and felt that it was two or three points heavier than ordinary paper. I think the talisman must be effective.
Zhang Muzhi bowed to thank Old Man Tao, put the talisman into his sleeve, and then asked about where Taoist Xie was buried, intending to go to burn incense and pay tribute.
Several people left the ancestral hall and were about to talk when they suddenly saw a servant in blue garment walking down and his expression looked very flustered.
When Old Man Tao saw that the servant was just walking forward, he was furious when he saw that he was about to run into a few people on the road.
"Xiao Liu! What are you doing? I was so anxious that I didn't look at the road?"
The servant was stunned when he heard this and stopped: "Grandma! Why are you here?"
Old Man Tao ignored the servant and turned to Zhang Muzhi and said, "This is my incompetent grandson. Now he works in the Han Yuanwai Mansion. He is so irritable that he has no rules on his daily life!"
Zhang Muzhi smiled and said, "Is it smart to see the face? Is it better to ask what's wrong!"
Old Man Tao then scolded the servant: "Tell me! What's the matter so anxious? It's like being chased by a dog?"
The servant in blue did not dare to disobey his grandfather, so he had to say, "Grandpa, Mr. Han's house is fucking a fox spirit. He sent me to Yuanjue Temple in the town to invite the monk to catch the monster!"
Old Man Tao was furious: "Our village has always been protected by Taoist Master Xie, and only worships Laojun and Lingguanye. What monk should I find?!"
The servant lowered his head and muttered in a low voice: "Isn't this the Taoist Master Xie going to be a god..."
"This Taoist priest is the host of the new Laojun Temple. In the future, he will protect us like Taoist priest Xie. What should I ask the monk to do?"
"What are those monks capable of? They can only make money! The temple has more fields than your Master Han's house!"
Old Man Tao obviously believed that he was a believer and had a lot of complaints about monks and monks.
The servant looked up at Zhang Muzhi and saw that he was a boy of about the same age as him, and he immediately became hesitant.
"Don't look at this Taoist master who is young, he is the first family of Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain! What are you worried about?" Old Man Tao said loudly.
Longhu Mountain is the ancestral courtyard of the Taoist sect. There are many stories in the world where young children can also use talismans to subdue demons.
The servant was shocked and asked: "Is this little Taoist really capable?"
Old Man Tao no longer paid attention to his grandson, turned to Zhang Muzhi and smiled: "I think it's because Lao Jun thinks that my simple meal is not enough to entertain Taoist priest. This is to ask Mr. Han to prepare a banquet to entertain Taoist priest!"
Zhang Muzhi smiled, but this was difficult to answer.
