Cyber Daming

The madness on the other person's face was deeply reflected in Tang Daocheng's eyes. The pity, sarcasm hidden in his eyes and the despair coming from his bones made Tang Daocheng, who was used to seeing all kinds of spies, freeze in place.

For no reason, an extremely absurd idea came to his mind.

He actually felt that the person in front of him was not crazy, and what he said might be all the truth.

"Dou Sanque, you madman, what are you talking nonsense about? Shut your mouth, poor Taoist!"

An angry shout suddenly sounded, dispersing the horrifying thoughts in Tang Daocheng's mind.

Tang Daocheng followed the sound and saw that the person who came was a middle-aged Taoist with a rich figure and a snow-white crane cloak on his shoulders. He was shouting anxiously and walking quickly towards this side.

This man is the proprietor of this monastery. Since his family has been a believer in Longhu Mountain for generations, he has long since given up his common name and surname and adopted an antique and elegant name, Dongqiaozi.

As soon as Dong Qiaozi showed up, he quickly took a thorough look at Tang Daocheng inside and out. The special lines on the sleeves of his Taoist robe proved that he was a Taoist under the command of the Taoist palace, and he suddenly felt miserable in his heart.

If you get caught by these Taoists, even if you don't die, you will still have to peel off your skin. It seemed that he was destined to bleed a lot today.

Dongqiaozi sighed in his heart, complaining about his bad luck, how could he suffer such an unreasonable disaster. However, his movements were not slow. He rushed over and kicked the crazy Dou Sanque away. With a smile on his face, he saluted Tang Daocheng repeatedly.

"I didn't know that it was the real person you came to visit, but I missed the welcome from afar. I ask the real person to forgive me."

Dong Qiaozi's kick was so strong that the man named Dou Sanque clutched his stomach and curled up on the ground, but his bloodless lips continued to open and close, muttering those treasonous and crazy things.

"You are Dong Qiaozi, right? Tang Daocheng, a poor Taoist, is a law enforcement officer registered in Fuliang Taoist Palace."

Tang Daocheng took a deep look at Dou Sanque, and then Shi Shiran stood up and glanced sideways at the frightened Dong Qiaozi.

"What's going on with this guy?"

"Master, you don't know something. This Dou Sanque is an out-of-town believer. He used to believe in the Lingbao Taoism. Later, after Gezao Mountain was merged into our Longhu Taoist Kingdom, he abandoned the dark side and came here."

As Dong Qiaozi spoke, he did not forget to gouge out Dou Sanque who was lying on the ground with his eyes.

"He is a well-known Taoist lunatic in Beicheng. He sold all his property for the opportunity to enter the Gezao Cave Heaven, just so that one day he could break the rules and enter the Taoism. As a result, his own qualifications were really poor, and he struggled in vain in the Cave Heaven. It has been a hundred years, but I haven’t even touched the threshold of being admitted. Maybe it’s because I can’t bear this blow, that’s why I’m so crazy now.”

"So that's it."

Tang Daocheng nodded, not doubting what Dong Qiaozi said.

In today's Longhu Tao Kingdom, people like Dou Sanque are not uncommon.

After the "Four Mountains and One Palace" were returned to the dragon and tiger, the Tianshi Mansion opened up immortal roads in order to revitalize the Tao order and opened the cave to Taoist believers all over the world for free, but in fact there are still thresholds.

At first, all believers have a chance to enter the highest level of Longhu Cave for free. However, only those who perform well in it and can be appreciated by the Taoist Master of Longhu Mountain can continue to reincarnate in the cave for free, and finally break the lock and enter the order. He became the registered Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain. From then on, he became different from the immortals and mortals, and changed his fate against the will of heaven.

And those who have worked in vain in the Dragon and Tiger Cave and gained nothing will be regarded as people who have no chance, and will be deprived of the scope of opportunity.

Of course, if you feel that you just didn't perform well once and are unwilling to accept your fate and want to enter the cave to practice again, that's not impossible.

But you have to talk about Xianyuan!

As long as you have enough immortal energy in your pocket, it proves that you still have immortality.

From Longhu Cave, to Gezao, Maoshan, Qingcheng, Yongle Palace, and down to ordinary caves with small gates and small views, you can enter and exit with Yuan.

"Dou Sanque is a despicable person, but he just doesn't want to admit that he has no chance to enter the Taoism. He spends his time wandering in the cave connected to his disciple's monastery. The more he reincarnates, the crazier he becomes, and the crazier he is, the more obsessed he is. The cycle goes on and on, getting deeper and deeper, making it difficult to control myself.”

Dong Qiaozi sighed in a fake way: "The disciples also thought that he was pitiful. He was a man who devoted himself to the Tao, so he did not expel him. He thought that by letting him sit in and listen to a few sermons and chat to comfort him, he could also be regarded as doing something for his fellow Taoists. You should do your best. But I never imagined that he would become so crazy and even hit a real person today. He deserves to be damned!"

"Come here, throw Dou Sanque out!"

As soon as Dong Qiaozi finished speaking, several Taoist monks rushed out from the monastery after looking at the wall. They picked up Dou Sanque from the ground and dragged him out.

"Wait a moment."

Tang Daocheng, who had been listening coldly to Dong Qiaozi talking to himself, finally spoke. The men standing behind him immediately stepped forward and raised their hands to stop the Taoist guardian of the monastery.

"Ma'am, why are you doing this?"

Dong Qiaozi rubbed his hands uneasily and looked nervously at the indifferent deacon.

"I just heard what you said. Dou Sanque has been practicing in your monastery since he came to Dao Kingdom?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Dong Qiaozi was a little confused about what the other party meant, and hurriedly explained: "Master, if you don't believe it, there are records of all Taoist friends entering and leaving the cave in the disciple's monastery, and you can check it at any time."

Tang Daocheng smiled but didn't smile: "That's not necessary. With your character, Daoist Dongqiaozi, you shouldn't deceive me on such a small matter, right?"

"Of course, of course." Dongqiaozi smiled awkwardly.

"But." Tang Daocheng changed the subject: "From Dou Sanque's expression, I don't think he looks like an ordinary person who has lost his way. Instead, he looks very similar to those who have been bewitched by the Yellow Millet Ghost."

Tang Daocheng smiled and said: "Since Daoyou has admitted that he has been practicing in this abode, is it because he was unlucky and met the Yellow Millet Ghost that suddenly appeared, or is it because Daoyou's abode hides a forbidden inferior cave heaven?"

"It's unfair, Immortal."

Dongqiaozi wailed and bowed his hands repeatedly.

"My disciples have served the Dragon and Tiger Taoist tradition for generations, and their faith is pious and firm. Even in the difficult years when the Dragon and Tiger encountered difficulties, their Taoist heart has not wavered at all. How dare they do something that violates the laws of the Heavenly Master's Mansion?"

Tang Daocheng looked at Dong Qiaozi, who wanted to point at Longhu Mountain and swear to prove himself, and couldn't help sneering in his heart.

According to his experience, if a small abode like this opened in the slums is only connected to the regular cave heaven recognized by Longhu Mountain, it will not make any money at all.

Nine out of ten are secretly opening some crudely made Huangliang dream realms to pretend to be cave heavens with the function of tempering divine thoughts. To the outside world, it is claimed that it is a secret realm left by an ancient Taoist sect that has been destroyed hundreds of years ago. The effect is no less than that of a regular cave heaven, but the price is only one-tenth, or even one-twentieth.

But in fact, these secret realms are not only useless for breaking the lock and entering the order, but are also very easy to breed vicious Huangliang ghosts, which will kill the person who enters the dream if he is not careful.

Tang Daocheng was almost certain that this abode must be doing these unrighteous things.

However, he didn't have time to argue with Dong Qiaozi about these trivial matters today. He had more important things to do on this trip.

"Oh? It seems that I misunderstood. Please don't be offended."

"How dare I blame you, Taoist? As long as the misunderstanding can be resolved and I can be cleared of all charges, that's enough."

Dong Qiaozi let out a long breath and quickly signaled the Taoist guard who was at a loss to drag Dou Sanque out.

"Those who eat ten people are disciples, those who eat a hundred people are feathered scholars, those who eat a thousand people are high merits, and those who eat ten thousand people are immortals."

Dou Sanque was held up by his left and right feet, but he was still shouting loudly.

"Shut him up!"

Dong Qiaozi was furious, his eyes were fierce, and he glanced at the two Taoists.

The two received the order and quietly shook out a thunder seal from their sleeves and stuck it on Dou Sanque's abdomen.

The electric arc exploded, penetrated the skin and flesh, and fiercely bit the Taoist foundation hidden in it.

Dou Sanque's whole body twitched continuously, and blood mixed with white foam spurted out of his mouth.

"To become an immortal, the dragon and tiger demons must be killed to eliminate the dream and keep safe. Don't be like me, waiting until it eats up your mind and drains your strength, and then you suddenly realize it, it's too late to regret. Short breath and long hair, like a ghost, a withered body with two lines of tears"

"Practicing Taoism is like traveling in a strange place, there is no shortcut. People who practice Taoism do not seek outside"

The shouting voice gradually weakened as the figure went away.

"Master, please don't listen to his nonsense. Our Taoist practice of immortality is about fate. The immortals have given us the ladder to heaven. This man is just resentful because he can't find the way. It's not worth dying for."

"Don't I understand?"

Tang Daocheng waved his hand impatiently, put this episode behind him, pushed Dong Qiaozi away, and walked into the depths of the temple.

"Master, Master"

Dong Qiaozi hurriedly followed, muttering: "I have believed in the orthodox Taoist tradition since I was a child. I have worked diligently for many years and never dared to do anything that violated the laws of the Tianshi Mansion. Please be clear."

Entering the front hall of the temple, there is a long counter facing the north. On the counter are various portraits of gods and Buddhas, incense for concentration, golden silk cushions, and copper gongs that can play by themselves. There are all kinds of tools to assist in practice.

Behind the counter was a mahogany shelf that stretched to the ceiling, on which were placed frozen boxes of various elixirs and artificial Taoist foundations with intimidating names, such as Heaven Spiritual Root, Earth Spiritual Root, and Immortal Spiritual Root, which were either claimed to have all five elements or named Xuanhuang.

In addition, there were many documents hanging on the shelf, which displayed the names of the caves and reincarnation times that the guests entered.

Tang Daocheng glanced around and did not see any suspicious caves, and the reincarnation times were all normal.

"Master, I really don't have the courage to violate the orders of the Taoist Palace. You must believe me."

The noisy voice of Dong Qiaozi behind him never stopped, but Tang Daocheng ignored it. After patrolling around, he turned and walked towards the practice area for ordinary guests.

The Taoists who practiced here were basically connected to the lowest-level caves, so the treatment they enjoyed was naturally not much better.

In the narrow area of ​​no more than five meters in length and width, nearly a hundred people were crowded together, with only a small cushion under them.

There are no windows around. The two doors on the left and right are hung with the Bagua diagram like a door curtain. In the center is a bronze tripod as tall as a person, which is filled with dense incense sticks. The thick smoke is like a thick fog in the closed environment, and it makes people feel slightly dizzy when they smell it.

A group of believers practiced in their dreams in such a bad environment. The hands and feet of the later ones are almost against the shoulders of the predecessors. The expressions on everyone's faces are extremely peaceful and satisfied. Some people seem to have achieved something in their dreams. Their breathing suddenly becomes rapid. When they puff out smoke, they can vaguely hear whistling.

"Haha, these incense are used to soothe the mind and help sleep. They all meet the standards of the Taoist palace and have no hallucinogenic effects."

Dong Qiaozi pretended to be calm, but his hands were rubbing together uneasily.

Tang Daocheng only looked around for a moment before retracting his gaze, turning his head and walking to the other side, where there were steps leading directly to the second floor.

There were two projections of golden-armored statues guarding the steps below. When they saw Tang Daocheng approaching, they immediately looked at him with respect, as if to welcome the arrival of the immortal.

"Master Tang!"

Tang Daocheng paused when he saw Dong Qiaozi rushing in front of him from behind and blocking his way.

"My disciple has been saying good things all the way, but the master has always ignored me and barged in the monastery wantonly. What's the point? If the disciple has violated any rules, the master can tell me directly. There is no need to humiliate the disciple like this!"

Dong Qiaozi changed his previous weakness and said in a cold tone: "If not, then I advise the master to go back home and don't make the matter embarrassing to everyone. Since I can open a monastery in the Longhu Dao Kingdom , I am not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by anyone, there are immortals on Longhu Mountain who are willing to listen to my grievances!"

Dong Qiaozi's change of attitude was not because he was afraid of being caught by Tang Daocheng because there was some shady person hiding on the second floor of the monastery.

But in this moment, he had asked someone to find out the details of Tang Daocheng.

The other party is indeed running errands for Fuliang Taoist Palace, but he is only the lowest-level Taoist, and his rank is just over eight. And he didn't have a particularly powerful background. He was just one of the first batch of ordinary Taoists who fled with the good families of Qingcheng Mountain. After joining Longhu Mountain, they were assigned to serve in Fuliang Taoist Palace.

In terms of status, Dong Qiaozi is naturally inferior to Tang Daocheng.

After the Tao order was unified in Longhu Mountain and the Longhu Tao Kingdom was established, a new system of respect and inferiority was formed.

The most noble ones are naturally the immortal elders in the Tianshi Mansion, followed by the Daoxu who were born and raised in Longhu Mountain, followed by the Daoxu from other families who came to seek refuge, and then the mortal relatives of these naturalized Daoxu, followed by those who have served the righteous Daoxu for generations. A line of good believers, and finally ordinary believers.

Dong Qiaozi himself has not yet entered the order, and he is not a bit worse than Tang Daocheng who serves in the Tao Palace.

But when it comes to background, Dong Qiaozi is not afraid of the other party at all.

One of his elders was a regular disciple on Longhu Mountain and once belonged to the Nine Dragon and Tiger Divisions. Although the Nine Tribes suffered heavy losses in that demon-suppressing battle and their status was far inferior to before, they were still direct descendants of the sect.

If they really break up and take the lawsuit to the mountains, Tang Daocheng may not be able to survive.

"Dong Qiaozi, are you threatening Pindao?"

"Don't dare."

Dong Qiaozi snorted coldly: "The real person has the responsibility of enforcing the Tao and can investigate any suspicious people in the Tao Kingdom. How dare the disciples stop him?"

Tang Daocheng narrowed his eyes and said, "It's good to know, why don't you get out of the way?"

"I don't dare to stop you, but if you want to make a mistake, you have to come up with a decent explanation, right? Which sect rule has my monastery violated? Or..."

Before Dong Qiaozi could finish his words, Tang Daocheng's iron hoop-like fingers grabbed his throat, and his face turned red instantly.

"statement?"

Tang Daocheng's eyes were fierce and he said in a low tone: "Dong Qiaozi, I tell you the truth, what happened at your Jingshe stall, not to mention you have any elders in the mountain, even if someone in your family is practicing in Tianshi Mansion, I can’t save you!”

"The Fuliang Taoist Palace has obtained definite evidence. There are swans hiding in your monastery. Even the forbidden caves you secretly tinkered with were deliberately sold to you at low prices in order to confuse me. The devout believers in Longhu Mountain spread rumors slandering Master Zhang.”

"That Dou Sanque just now is the best example!"
