After saying goodbye to Huang Daoheng, Huang Shang went directly back to his house on Zhongnan Mountain.
There, Yurou, Xia Die and Baili Mingyu had gathered together, waiting for him for a long time.
After all, this time we are going to the territory of the Egyptian gods to snatch Anubis's Bible of the Dead. The dangers involved can be imagined. Although the Egyptian gods remain neutral, they cannot easily mobilize too many powerful people from the Taoist sect to avoid lest they move forward.
It caused a dispute between the two major forces and caused the Egyptian gods to turn to Olympus, but there was still no problem in bringing a few of their own people with them.
Huang Shang has already informed everyone about the danger involved, but Fallen and everyone are friends of life and death, and it was only to save Yurou that she became like this, so whether it is Baili Mingyu, Xia Die or...
Yu Rou was duty-bound and decided to act together with Huang Shang.
But now, everything they need to prepare is almost complete. In addition, the time that the Supreme Saint bought for them is about to run out. It is time for them to leave here and start taking action.
"Let's go!"
So, after packing up all the things and taking the straw man who looked exactly like Anubis, Huang Shang took a deep breath and left Zhongnan Mountain with everyone, and returned to the world again.
However, what Huang Shang didn't know was that shortly after he left, Huang Daoheng, who was in retreat, suddenly opened his eyes.
Then he suddenly jumped up and rushed to Zhongnan Mountain at an extremely fast speed to the exit of the present world.
"Stop, this is a forbidden area, no one can enter or exit easily without the decree of the great master!"
But at this moment, a loud shout suddenly resounded throughout the world, followed by a huge figure with a red face and beard, wearing golden armor and red robes, with three glaring eyes, holding a wind wheel on the left and a steel whip on the right, exuding a powerful aura.
Falling from the sky, he stopped in front of Huang Daoheng.
This person is the Zhongnan Mountain's mountain-presiding general, named Wang Lingguan, whose full name is "the innate chief general who protects the Tao with a sincere heart, the Three-Five Train King Tianjun, whose powerful spirit manifests the deity". He is the most revered protector deity in Taoism.
There is a saying in Taoism about the five hundred spiritual officials. Wang Lingguan is the head of the five hundred spiritual officials and is known as the "Great Spiritual Official of Dutian". Even in ancient times, there was a saying that if you don't go up the mountain, you should worship Wang Lingguan first." This shows that this
How high is Wang Lingguan's status?
Corresponding to his reputation and status is Wang Lingguan's powerful strength. I think back when Monkey King made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace and used iron rods to hit enemies in the east and west, no one could stop him, but he ended up in the Tongming Hall and outside the Lingxiao Hall.
Being blocked by Wang Lingguan on his own, he was able to fight on a par with Sun Wukong. Even though Sun Wukong had not yet killed three corpses, it was enough to prove how powerful Wang Lingguan was.
Because of this, now in Zhongnan Mountain, there is also Wang Lingguan guarding the entrance and exit of Zhongnan Mountain. Without the decree of the three Taoist ancestors, ordinary people would never think of leaving Zhongnan Mountain through his pass.
"I've seen the Great Spirit Officer Dutian!"
Seeing Wang Lingguan's appearance and feeling the powerful and terrifying aura, Huang Daoheng's face paled slightly, but then he immediately saluted and explained: "I am Huang Daoheng, the mortal brother of Wuxiang Daozi, and now I am
Receive Wuxiang Daozi's decree and leave this place after him to prepare for his next actions."
Having said this, Huang Daoheng paused for a moment, then took out something from his arms and handed it to Wang Lingguan, saying: "This is a token of Daozi. I would like to ask the Great Spiritual Officer Dutian to identify it."
"Wuxian Daozi?!"
Hearing Huang Daoheng mention Huang Shang, Wang Lingguan's serious face twitched slightly, as if he thought of some bad memories, and then took what Huang Daoheng handed over.
It was a piece of Bagua jade pendant with the word Wu Xiang written on it.
This jade pendant is the inherited jade pendant that Huang Shang originally inherited from the system. Later, it was integrated with the innate Five Elements Bagua Mirror, and finally integrated with a breath of Tai Chi diagram, and was transformed by Huang Shang into a symbol of his Taoist identity.
This time, Huang Shang knew that his trip to Egypt to seize the Bible of the Dead and his subsequent trip to Wuzhuang Temple to seize the Book of Humanity were extremely dangerous. Even if he was as strong as he was, he was not sure of victory. Otherwise, something would happen to him, so he took this piece of
The jade pendant representing his identity was given to Huang Daoheng. With this jade pendant, even if he did not return to Taoism for the time being, others would not dare not give him face.
This is also considering that Huang Daoheng and the Huang family migrated from Olympus, and their status is somewhat sensitive. Having the jade pendant can at least ensure that they will not be bullied.
After all, his current reputation is not something that ordinary people would dare to offend.
"It is indeed a token of Daozi!"
Taking the jade pendant and feeling the mysterious aura of Tai Chi Diagram in it, Wang Lingguan nodded thoughtfully, but then showed a trace of hesitation: "If Daozi himself was here, I would not dare to stop him, but he
You haven't mentioned this to me before, and the eldest master has a purpose, so this is really..."
"My brother asked me to tell you, do you remember that you still owe him a favor?"
At this moment, Huang Daoheng suddenly spoke.
"this……"
When he heard the word "favor", Wang Lingguan's eyes twitched slightly and he was silent for a moment, seeming to be hesitating, but in the end he shook his head and sighed: "That's all, since Taoist disciples have orders and there are tokens here, I won't do it either.
I stopped you, go quickly."
In order to hone the power of the Yin-Yang Great Mill, Huang Shang had previously searched for strong men in Zhongnan Mountain to fight with each other. Except for the three Taoist ancestors, almost all the strong men in Zhongnan Mountain had been beaten by Huang Sang.
Wang Lingguan is no exception.
But Huang Shang somewhat saved some face for the Dutian Great Lingguan by secretly discussing with him and announcing a tie, so Wang Lingguan also claimed that he owed Huang Shang a favor.
I just didn't expect that this favor would be returned so soon.
But letting Huang Daoheng leave is not a big deal. After all, the river of destiny has been confused now, and even the three goddesses of destiny cannot calculate to Zhongnan Mountain. In addition, the climate of Dao Sect has become mature, and there is no need to hide it as much as it was in the beginning.
Tucked in.
Otherwise, if it had been before, he would never have let Huang Daoheng leave.
"Thank you, Great Spirit Officer!"
Hearing Wang Lingguan's words, Huang Daoheng immediately handed over his hands and thanked him, then jumped up and directly entered the portal leading to the outside world in Zhongnan Mountain and disappeared without a trace.
But what he didn't know was that almost the moment he left, Wang Lingguan's expression turned solemn, he raised his hands toward the sky and said in a deep voice: "Tell me, the disciple has let him go."
"Well, just let him be."
The next moment, the faint voice of the Supreme Sage sounded: "Wuxiang's journey is going to be difficult and dangerous. With the help of this person, he may be able to turn danger into good luck and return safely."
"yes!"
After hearing the words of the Supreme Saint, Wang Lingguan nodded seriously, then merged into the earth and disappeared.
"Why……"
But at the same time, in Taiqing Temple, a sigh sounded and lingered for a long time.
Even as a saint, there are still some things that he wants to do but cannot do. Just like this time, even if he wanted to personally help Huang Shang, he still hesitated and had too many worries, so he could only help secretly.
Now that he has done everything he can, the river of fate has been confused, making it difficult for him to see clearly Huang Shang's future path. Therefore, whether the next road is life or death, good or bad, it all depends on Huang Shang himself.
