Master comes down the mountain, I don’t know martial arts, but I am an immortal

Chen Shouting stared blankly at the direction where Li Muchen disappeared, feeling shocked and suspicious.

A Taoist priest next to him also asked doubtfully: "Brother, is this person really a demon?"

Chen Shouting shook his head and said: "One sword can break five thunders! He wants to kill people, and I'm afraid none of us can escape."

"Yes!" Another older Taoist priest said, "The Heavenly Master is still in seclusion. Unless the dragon and tiger mountain protection formation is activated, no one in the Heavenly Master's Mansion can stop him."

"So, he is not a demon?"

"There is no demonic energy in him. I thought he was hiding well before. But now it seems that we may have made a mistake."

"It's the ancestors and grandsons of the Yuan family who lied to us. Damn it!" the youngest Taoist priest said angrily.

"It is not easy to conclude that even if he is not a demon, it is true that the Heavenly Master Sword is in his hands and he has an affair with the rebellious Lin Xiao. I think he is definitely not on the right path."

Chen Shouting was silent for a moment and sighed: "If he really just came to return the Tianshi Sword today, I, Chen Shouting, would be the sinner of the Tianshi Mansion!"

The elderly Taoist priest next to him said: "Junior Brother Chen does not need to blame himself. If he is guilty, we will bear the responsibility with you."

"I want to go knock the pass." Chen Shouting said.

"Knocking on the gate?" The older Taoist priest was shocked, "According to the rules, only when the survival of the Taoist sect is in crisis or the world is in chaos can the heavenly master be asked to come out of the gate. Now..."

Chen Shouting said: "The Celestial Master's Sword is the most precious treasure of the Celestial Master and a symbol of the Celestial Masters of all generations. It has been lost for many years. The Celestial Master feels ashamed of all the ancestors. Now that it has appeared, if we don't recover it, how can we have the face to see the ancestors in the future?" What's more, a few days ago, some overseas Taoist friends sent news that there has been chaos in overseas paganism recently, and some sects are uniting all forces, and the abandoned disciples are unable to do anything to me in China. I have a vague premonition that the world has been peaceful for a long time, and the demons and heretics are It’s about time that we take action!”

All the Taoist priests nodded.

Then they all went to the Zhengyi Temple on the mountain to pay homage to Zhengyi Peak from a distance, rang the fairy bell, and kowtowed outside the abbot's house.

Soon, I saw clouds and mist rising from Zhengyi Peak, and apes and cranes were chirping in the mountains.

The door of the abbot's room suddenly opened, and a Taoist in white walked out. It was Zhang Xikun, the contemporary Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain.

"Disciple, I respectfully welcome Master out of seclusion!" The Taoist priests headed by Chen Shouting kowtowed.

"I followed my ancestor and traveled to other places. Why did you ring the bell to call me back?" Zhang Xikun asked.

"Master Qi, the Heavenly Master Sword has appeared." Chen Shouting replied.

"Oh?" Zhang Xikun's eyes lit up, and there was a trace of surprise on his slender face, "My senior brother once said before he was about to die, that the day the Heavenly Master Sword reappears will be the time when the world will be in chaos. It's just the right time for you to ring the bell. !”

After that, he walked down the steps, led everyone down the mountain, and returned to the Tianshi Mansion.

Along the way, Chen Shouting reported to Zhang Xikun in detail Li Muchen's coming and going, including the fact that Yuan Shoushan brought Yuan Shijie here for treatment.

After hearing this, Zhang Xikun frowned slightly and said, "Then Li Muchen really said that he wants me to go to Hecheng in person to beg him to return the sword?"

Chen Shouting pondered for a moment and said: "I didn't say that I would beg him, but I did say that Master should go in person."

"Although I didn't say that, the meaning is very clear, that is, I want Master to beg him." The Taoist priest next to him said angrily, "Such a madman! My Tianshi Mansion rules the Taoist sects in the world, even in Quanzhen Jungle, whether it is Baiyun Temple or Chongyang Palace doesn’t dare to be disrespectful to the Heavenly Master. Who is he? He dares to say such big words!”

Zhang Xikun was also a little angry, but as a Celestial Master, his realm has already surpassed that of ordinary people, and he is not a person who is indifferent to right and wrong. He said: "When he comes to the Celestial Master's Mansion, you use the Five Thunder Formation on others indiscriminately. You can't blame him for being angry. If it were an ordinary person, his soul would have been destroyed by the five thunders. The disciples of Tianshi are not indiscriminate killers!"

The Taoist priest said: "It was mainly due to the influence of the ancestors and grandsons of the Yuan family that I preconceived the idea that he was a demon, so I prepared the Five Thunder Formation."

"But you didn't capture him either. Let him break the formation with one sword." Zhang Xikun said.

Chen Shouting blushed and said with shame, "This disciple has embarrassed the Heavenly Master."

Zhang Xikun said with a smile: "I don't blame you either. He has the Heavenly Master Sword in his hand, and he knows how to control the sword, so you are no match for him."

Zhang Xikun himself is a Celestial Master, so he naturally knows the power of the Celestial Master Sword. A Celestial Master with a sword and a Celestial Master without a sword are completely different in terms of combat effectiveness.

Chen Shouting and others felt a little relieved. It turned out that it was not because the Five Thunder Formation was not good enough, nor because their cultivation was insufficient, but because the other party had the Heavenly Master Sword in their hands.

The Tianshi Sword is something from the Tianshi Mansion. After all, the Tianshi Mansion is still powerful.

Zhang Xikun entered the middle hall of Tianshi's private quarters, where Li Muchen broke through the Five Thunder Formation with his sword.

As soon as he stepped across the threshold, he noticed something. When he raised his head, he was suddenly startled and screamed out.

The disciples had never seen their master lose his composure before, and they didn't know what happened.

Zhang Xikun pointed diagonally at the top of the nave, his hands trembling, and said: "This... this is..."

Everyone looked up and saw that there was nothing unusual about the portrait of the Heavenly Master hanging in the middle hall, and they couldn't help but feel strange.

Master, what's going on? You have been in seclusion for a long time and you don’t even recognize the portrait of your ancestor?

"Don't look with your eyes, use your spiritual consciousness to observe." Zhang Xikun said.

Chen Shouting opened his spiritual consciousness and suddenly realized that there was an additional seal on the portrait of the Heavenly Master. It was invisible to the naked eye and only shone with golden light in his spiritual consciousness.

How could there be a divine seal on the portrait of the Heavenly Master?

Looking carefully, there are two seal characters printed on it. The first one is Tian, ​​and the second one is Du.

"Tiandu?!" Chen Shouting was shocked.

He suddenly remembered that when Li Muchen left, he seemed to have turned around and pointed towards the nave.

Is it...

Chen Shouting didn't dare to think about it.

"Ling of Tiandu! He is the envoy from Tiandu!" Zhang Xikun was heartbroken, "Oh! My Tianshi Mansion actually neglected the envoy from Tiandu!"

After hearing Zhang Xikun's words, Chen Shouting finally believed that the young man named Li Muchen was really an envoy from Heaven and an immortal from Kunlun!

And not only did he neglect him, he also listened to the slander, mistook him for a demon, and attacked him with the Five Thunder Formation.

Fortunately, he has strong magic power. If he was injured or killed by lightning...

Chen Shouting felt scared just thinking about it. He knelt down and said, "This disciple is guilty. Please punish me, Master!"

The rest of the Taoist priests also knelt down and said in unison: "This disciple is guilty, please punish me, Master!"

Zhang Xikun sighed and said: "I don't blame you, it's the fate of this Heavenly Master. Hurry, hurry up! Follow me around Hecheng, I will personally apologize to the angel!"

……

Inside Hecheng Tianxing Temple.

Zhang Daoyuan was burning incense and saying a ritual, when suddenly a thunderbolt sounded out of thin air.

The little Taoist priest next to him was startled.

It is late autumn now and winter is about to begin.

Hecheng is located in the south of the Yangtze River. Although the cold wave is coming, it is already a bit chilly.

Why is there still thunder at this time of year?

Zhang Daoyuan, who was kneeling on the futon, jumped up suddenly when he heard the thunder.

"Heavenly Master Order!"

Zhang Daoyuan was surprised, happy and panicked. He hurriedly arranged his clothes and said to the Taoist boy next to him, "Quick, quick, follow me to welcome the immortal envoy!"

Bendang walked out of the door first and came to the courtyard. He knelt down respectfully and kowtowed: "Disciple Zhang Daoyuan, welcome the immortal envoy! I wonder which senior brother is the master?"

I just heard a voice coming from far outside the mountain gate:

"I am Mao Kuisheng, a disciple of Tianshi Zhang in the Tianshi Mansion. I was ordered to go down the mountain and pass on the Tianshi's orders. I went to the Tianxing Observation in Hecheng to advocate a long journey. I ordered the nearby Taoist monks to jointly capture the demon Li Muchen!"

"Li Muchen?"

Zhang Daoyuan was stunned for a moment. Although he had doubts in his heart, he did not dare to ask more questions and kowtowed:

"Disciple obeys!"
