My daily mountain driving, I met a fox at the beginning and got married

"And cultivating the Dharma God means that you have become an immortal and are ranked among the immortals."

"After becoming an immortal, there are also realms such as human immortal, earth immortal, celestial immortal, creation, the other shore, half-step Dao fruit, the embryonic form of the other shore Dao fruit, and Dao fruit."

"But these are still too far away for you. The strongest of the major sects today have only reached the outer realm. Not to mention the three-fold ladder, they haven't even reached the realm of the first three bodies."

"Now you know how difficult it is to become an immortal through cultivation, right?"

After he finished speaking, the headmaster's face was full of helplessness. Wang Ye nodded and thought: It does sound difficult...

But compared with the Yin Yang Inn, what strength does Brother Qilin’s entry into the ninth rank amount to?

So he asked curiously.

"Master, what realm are you in now?"

The head of the sect looked at Wang Ye, then his face turned slightly red and he shook his head and said.

"Half-step exterior. If we calculate it according to the rank of the footman, it should be considered as the eighth rank."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Ye looked at the head in surprise and said.

"Ah? Just a little bit better than my brother!"

"Master, you have to work harder! Otherwise, you will be outdone by others!"

Taoist Master Daoxuan looked at Wang Ye speechlessly and then laughed and scolded: "Do you think it is so easy to improve your realm?"

"Don't think that I am only slightly better than that walking master, but this is also an insurmountable gap in practice!"

"But realm cannot fully measure strength. Moreover, ancient professions are very different from cultivation. Some abilities and techniques of ancient professions are difficult for us cultivators to master even at a high realm."

“Although I am at the eighth level, if we were to compete in strength, I might not be able to defeat those ninth-level ancient practitioners who have mastered unique techniques and skills.”

"Realm and rank are just titles. What really determines your strength is your magic and skills, not these empty names. In ancient times, there were people who, although they had not entered the rank or attained the Tao, their strength and talent were enough to surpass many people who had entered the rank or attained the Tao. This is an example of superior skills, a superior skill, and cultivating the 'skill' to the extreme!"

"For example, in the art of drawing talismans, some people are proficient in this art. Even if they have not yet entered the rank, they can still draw extraordinary talisman paper, but those who have entered the rank may not be able to do so. Who do you think is more powerful between these two?"

Wang Ye curled his lips, but was secretly amazed in his heart. He remembered that Brother Qilin had not yet entered the rank before, but now he has caught up with their leader. This speed is really astonishing.

He thought that he would have to find a way to go to the inn to gain some experience before he could start his apprenticeship in the future.

Lao Tzu said that Tao follows nature, so his progress from practicing Taoism to achieving enlightenment should have been a natural process.

Taoist Master Daoxuan showed a look of regret on his face and shook his head. He then remembered that Wang Ye had mentioned that Zhang Qilin was able to enter the rank of the rank thanks to the help of their shopkeeper, so he asked, "By the way, did the Yin-Yang Master of the Yin-Yang Inn you mentioned really teach them the skills of driving corpses, summoning souls, fishing for corpses, tying paper, and summoning gods?"

"This is no small matter. Judging from the corpse-driving skills of the walking master just now, his skills are even better than those of Taoist Lin Jiu of Maoshan. Any one of these skills is enough to make a person spend his entire life studying. How could there be such a powerful person?"

Wang Ye frowned and shook his head, "I saw him instruct those three people with my own eyes, and he also personally demonstrated the corpse-driving technique based on the necromancy technique to Zhang Qilin. I am sure that the skills of those three people were taught by this Yin-Yang master. But I am also very curious, why is he so powerful? Moreover, I heard that he has also entered the rank, and the rank is not low."

"As for his specific rank, I don't know. The three employees have just entered the ranks and don't know the shopkeeper's strength. They only know that he is very powerful, but no one knows to what extent. There are also rumors that this Yin-Yang Master has summoned the Black and White Impermanence and even captured Zhao Li, the ferryman of the underworld. It sounds terrifying, and I don't know if it's true or not."

Taoist Master Daoxuan heard this and widened his eyes. He asked in disbelief, "He summoned the Black and White Impermanence? He also captured the ghost ferryman of the underworld alive? That was a seventh-rank ghost! How could there be such a powerful person? If that's true, then he must be at least a fifth-rank master!"

Wang Ye shook his head slightly, smiled awkwardly, and said: "Master, you also know that I have not yet entered the rank, and I can't tell a person's rank at all. Moreover, these things are only heard from others, who knows whether they are true or false? However, I saw him instructing people to drive corpses, fish for corpses, and invite gods with my own eyes!"

The Wudang headmaster's eyes were filled with shock, and he muttered to himself. He had been looking for the opportunity to enter the rank all his life, but he never got what he wanted.

And in a remote village, there actually lived such a master who could help people enter the realm of enlightenment so easily. This was truly unbelievable!

If there really is such a person, he must be four or five hundred years old, right? But Wang Ye's words were too mysterious to be believed. So he shook his head and said, "That's not right! If there really is such a master, my master should have told me. And the previous generation of the head should have heard of it. But I have never heard of such a master!"

Wudang Sect Leader Dao Chong frowned, looked at Wang Ye's tired look, and said, "Well, now that the Grandmaster has returned, there are still many things to do tomorrow. You should go back and rest first, and we will hold a sacrificial ceremony for the Grandmaster tomorrow."

Wang Ye nodded. He was really exhausted after following Zhang Qilin for a long time. So he said, "Okay, Master, I'll go back and rest first. We can talk about it tomorrow if there's anything else."

……

The next morning, Wudang Mountain was completely different from the past.

Surrounded by clouds and mist, Wudang Mountain seems to have turned into a fairy mountain, filled with fairy air.

On this day, wild cranes, which are rarely seen on ordinary days, circled around Wudang Mountain.

Careful people may find that since last night, the number of animals on Wudang Mountain has increased, as if they all want to get a taste of Wudang Mountain's luck. The trees on Wudang Mountain also seem to have grown much taller overnight.

When the Taoists came out of the temple, they found that the temple had not changed, but Wudang Mountain seemed to be brand new. They could not help but gather together to discuss.

"Did you see it? Wudang Mountain seems a little different today!"

"I did a fortune telling and found that the luck of Wudang Mountain has improved. No matter how I tell fortunes, it's a good omen! What's going on?"

"Could it be related to the mysterious man in black yesterday? I heard that he was a footman who sent our Wudang Mountain's founder back. Didn't you hear the headmaster shouting about the return of the founder last night?"

"Who can't hear this? The whole mountain can hear the master's voice! Could it be that these things are related to the ancestor? Have we really found the ancestor?"

"It's the body of the ancestor! It was found by that kid Wang Ye, and then he asked a master to send it back. I've heard before that if the ancestor guards the mountain gate, the fortune will change. Maybe one day when you practice, you will reach the rank!"

"Is there such a good thing?! This footman is really an expert!"

……

Just as several Taoists were discussing, they suddenly heard a long shout from the ancestral hall: "All Wudang disciples, listen up! In three days, we will hold a grand ceremony to worship our ancestor! No one is allowed to leave the temple for three days, and must fast for three days. After three days, take a bath, change clothes, and go to the ancestral hall at nine o'clock in the evening to participate in the sacrificial ceremony! In the next three days, Wudang Mountain will be closed to visitors. All tourists are requested to leave the Taoist temple as soon as possible and come back to Wudang another day!"

……

Several Taoists looked at each other, with shock in their eyes.

"The Grandmaster actually came back! Someone actually sent the Grandmaster back? This is amazing!"

"I heard that person is in the guest room now, do you want to go and take a look?"

"It's better not to go. Send the Grandmaster back. He is our honored guest of Wudang Mountain. If he doesn't do well, the headmaster might blame him."

……

Zhang Qilin didn't know yet that his name had already begun to spread in Wudang Mountain. At this moment, he was sitting on a chair in the guest room and sent a message to Zhang Hao: "Boss, the Wudang Patriarch has been delivered."

Not long after, Zhang Qilin's phone vibrated. It was a message from Zhang Hao. The screen read, "Okay, rest for a few days in Wudang Mountain. When the contract takes effect, I'll send you a message and then return to the inn. As for the corpse collection notices from other sects, I've sent my underworld pets to deliver the notices. It's expected to be delivered soon. Don't worry."

……

Longhu Mountain. At night, just as all the Taoists in Longhu Mountain were preparing to rest, a cat's cry suddenly came.

"Meow..." The cat's cry seemed to come from far away, but also seemed to be right outside their window. However, no one paid attention to it at first. After all, there were all kinds of animals on Longhu Mountain, and it was not uncommon for a cat to run into the Taoist temple.

Just after hearing this sound, many people lost their sleepiness.

Because there was a more or less chilling aura in the voice, many people shivered and wrapped themselves tightly in their quilts.

Then, another cat's meow was heard.

"Meow..." This time many people were completely awake and thought that it was a wild cat somewhere that was meowing non-stop.

When they came to the window, they saw a rain of paper money for the dead falling in the courtyard of the Taoist temple outside the window.

"Hey, hey, hey, come and see!" a Taoist priest shouted hurriedly.

The other Taoist priests in the room asked lazily, "What's the matter? You're so surprised."

"There are so many paper money in the yard, come and see! They are floating down from the sky, it doesn't look like they were scattered by someone."

"Ah? No way, this is Longhu Mountain, on the top of the mountain, what kind of wind can blow banknotes here?"

"I'm wondering too, come and take a look!" All the Taoists in the house ran to the window, and then saw the paper money floating in the air outside the window falling down like heavy rain, landing in the yard and covering the path of the Taoist temple.

"Who is this? Coming to our Longhu Mountain to throw paper money for the dead? How long will I have to clean up tomorrow?"

"Don't worry about that for now. Don't you think it's strange that these banknotes came here? It's like no one scattered them, but they just appeared out of nowhere!"

"Hey, what's going on?"

"Don't investigate the cause yet, go report to Master Zhao!"

"..."

In fact, Master Zhao had already noticed this unusual situation without anyone notifying him. He hurried to the back of the Taoist temple, looked up at the ghost money falling from the sky, and his face was full of confusion.

"what on earth is it?"

“Where did all this paper money come from?”

"Does anyone dare to cause trouble on Longhu Mountain?"

Zhao Tianshi frowned, then bent down and picked up a piece of paper money on the ground. Before he could take a closer look, a young Taoist priest came running over breathlessly, holding a few paper money in his hand, and shouted to Zhao Tianshi.

"Heavenly Master!"

"Heavenly Master!"

"Something happened, look!"

The young Taoist priest ran to Master Zhao and found that he was holding a paper money in his hand. Master Zhao glanced at the young Taoist priest unhappily and said:

"How many times have I told you not to panic!"

"How can a cultivator be so impatient? If you are so impatient, when will you be able to achieve the right result?"

Tianshi Zhao shook his head, his eyes revealing reproach. The young Taoist pointed at the paper money in Tianshi Zhao's hand and continued:

"That's not the case, Master!"

"Look at the words on the banknote."

"It seems to be 'Yin Yang Inn'?"

Upon hearing this, Master Zhao frowned and muttered softly:

"Yin Yang Inn?"

"Why does this name sound so familiar?"

He looked at the paper money carefully and saw the four ancient characters "Yin Yang Inn" written on the front. Turning to the other side of the paper money, he saw another line of tiny ancient characters:
【Yin Yang Inn】

【Fengmen Village, Luocheng City】

[On the 14th day of the 10th lunar month, from the hour of Yin to the hour of Xu, come and take back the remains of your sect’s founder]

[Don’t answer too early, don’t wait after the deadline! 】

[Those holding this ghost money, please go to Yin Yang Inn to welcome the corpse back to the mountain]

Seeing this line of small words, Master Zhao's eyes seemed to become even darker, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he suddenly said as if he had suddenly realized something:
"Yin Yang Inn!"

"Isn't this the inn that Taoist Lin Jiu mentioned before?"

"Could it be that these banknotes were scattered by the people from Yin Yang Inn?"

He carefully examined the contents of the ghost money again and muttered:

"hiss……"

"My ancestor of Longhu Mountain?"

"Fellow Daoist Lin Jiu also mentioned the matter of the Grandmaster last time. Is it really such a coincidence?"

Zhao Tianshi looked confused, and the little Taoist priest next to him couldn't help asking:
"Tianshi, who is the ancestor mentioned here?"

"Didn't all the previous Heavenly Masters of our Longhu Mountain finally ascend to heaven?"

"There shouldn't be any remains left!"

"They asked us to collect the body, but whose body are we collecting?"

Master Zhao nodded, and then said firmly:
"You're right, and that's a good question."

"Whose body are you taking?"

"All the previous Heavenly Masters of Longhu Mountain have ascended to heaven after death, so it is impossible for them to leave behind any remains."

"This Yin Yang Inn is definitely a scam. They got a body from somewhere and claimed it was the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain."

"Huh! How boring!"

The last time Lin Jiu came to visit, he said that their Heavenly Master's remains appeared in the ancient battlefield. At that time, Heavenly Master Zhao thought Lin Jiu's words were ridiculous, but because they were fellow Taoists, he did not expose them directly. (End of this chapter)
