He just let Lin Jiu continue talking. Besides, Lin Jiu did send back a body from Longhu Mountain. From this point of view, Lin Jiu was also indebted to Longhu Mountain.

But what Zhao Tianshi never understood was why Lin Jiu wanted to slander their Tianshi. It was clear that the ancestor had ascended to heaven, but they always said that the ancestor was not completely dead and his body was still left in the ancient battlefield.

In the hearts of their disciples, the Grandmaster was simply a god. But now they said that the Grandmaster had not ascended to heaven, but had left behind a body. How could anyone believe this?

Of course, Master Zhao didn’t think it was shameful for the ancestor to leave behind his body.

In fact, if there really is the remains of the founder, welcoming it back to the mountain can also improve the luck of the entire Longhu Mountain. This is a good thing for Longhu Mountain!
But it was hard for Tianshi Zhao to believe that the ancestor who had been passed down for more than 300 years had not ascended to heaven in the end, but instead became a corpse full of evil spirits. The inheritance of 300 years could not be changed by Lin Jiu's words or a few ghost money.

So Master Zhao looked disapproving, pointed to the yard, and continued:

"Have you seen any suspicious people around the Taoist temple?"

The young Taoist shook his head and said:

"No, there is no tourist in the guest room of the Taoist temple today. I walked around outside the Taoist temple when I came here, and I didn't see any suspicious people."

"but……"

"I saw a black cat with nine tails."

"I wanted to carry it into the temple, but the cat ran too fast. As soon as I approached, it disappeared in a flash. I couldn't even keep up with its speed!"

"A black cat with nine tails?" Tianshi Zhao frowned. "A nine-tailed spirit cat?"

"No way?"

"It is said that the nine-tailed civet cat is a creature from the underworld. How could it appear here..."

"Are you sure it's the black cat with nine tails?"

The young Taoist nodded, his eyes extremely firm, without any sign of lying.

After pondering for a moment, Tianshi Zhao looked up at the paper money still floating in the sky, full of doubts.

"How could a cat from the underworld come to the world of the living?"

"These ghost money... could it be that the nine-tailed spirit cat made them?"

"Impossible! If these were really done by the people in that inn, they wouldn't have anyone raising ghost pets!"

"Raising a ghost pet is a skill that only a peerless master can use to tame a ghost pet. Otherwise, my soul will be sucked away by the nine-tailed spirit cat."

"impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible."

After saying this, Master Zhao looked around the yard. At this time, a thick layer of ghost money had already piled up in the yard. He shook his head helplessly and said:
"Tell someone to clean up the yard tomorrow, otherwise it would be bad if tourists came up the mountain and saw it."

The young Taoist nodded, then looked at the paper money still falling from the sky and couldn't help feeling a headache.

I don’t know who spread it, causing them so much trouble.

At this time, not only Longhu Mountain had this situation, but also Mount Emei, Mount Kongtong, Mount Kunlun, and Mount Qingcheng all began to rain down paper money. The paper money also had the same words as Longhu Mountain:
【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]

However, just like Master Zhao, almost no one believed that their ancestor would suddenly appear, and even reappear in the form of a corpse. Everyone just regarded this as a prank with ulterior motives.

However, what surprised the people from the various sects was that they all saw a black cat with nine tails that night. Some people recognized it as the nine-tailed spirit cat from the underworld. But no one knew that the nine-tailed spirit cat was actually the pet of the Yin-Yang Inn and was also the messenger that Zhang Hao sent to these sects to collect the corpses.

It was not until three days later that Tianshi Zhao of Mount Longhu learned that Mount Emei, Mount Kongtong, Mount Kunlun and Mount Qingcheng had also experienced a rain of paper money for the dead, just like their Mount Longhu, and that they had seen a nine-tailed civet cat. Only then did he gradually feel that something seemed to be wrong.

However, when the five major sects were becoming suspicious, there was suddenly no movement in Wudang Mountain, and there was no news at all, as if nothing had happened.

Therefore, Master Zhao of Mount Longhu decided to pay a personal visit. At this time, he was walking on the halfway point of Mount Wudang. In another hour, he would be able to climb to the top of the mountain and meet the head of Wudang, Taoist Master Dao Chong.

Master Zhao Tianshi's mind was full of the nine-tailed civet cat, so he didn't notice anything unusual after walking for so long. It was not until two tourists came down from the mountain and heard their discussion that he realized something was wrong.

"Hey, I came all the way here by train just to visit Wudang Mountain. I didn't expect them to close the door to visitors!"

"Yeah, it was a wasted trip. I finally took two days off, but now it's all gone!"

"What a bad luck..."

After hearing this, Master Zhao couldn't help but frown and think secretly.

Closed meditation?

What happened to Wudang Mountain?
Why is the door closed?
Could it be that their leader Dao Chong...

Master Zhao couldn't help but shook his head slightly, then muttered softly:

"Coming here today...wouldn't we just happen to catch a funeral?" Then he shook his head and prepared to continue on his way.

Suddenly, Master Zhao stopped and stood in the middle of the path in a daze. He looked up at the misty Wudang Mountain and opened his eyes wide in shock.

"This cloud?"

"Generally, only mountains with fairy-like aura will have this kind of clouds and mist."

"When did Wudang Mountain have such good fortune?"

Just now he was thinking that it might be Taoist Chong's funeral, but now seeing the great fortune of Wudang Mountain, Master Zhao couldn't help but feel a little surprised. This was completely different from what he expected!
He also thought that Taoist Chong was unable to break through the realm in the end, which led to his lifespan running out and passing away.

Now it seems that I was overthinking.

This kind of luck...

Could it be that Taoist Chong has made a breakthrough?

Although he has successfully been promoted, the huge and profound luck of Wudang Mountain does not seem to come from this alone! Master Zhao speculated in his heart.

Something big must be happening in Wudang Mountain! Thinking of this, he could not help but quicken his pace and hurried to Wudang Mountain.

When we arrived at the gate of the Taoist temple, as expected, we saw four big words "Closed Today" written on the door.

Tianshi Zhao knocked on the door and introduced himself: "I am Tianshi Zhao from Mount Longhu, and I have come to visit Taoist Master Dao Chong, the head of your sect."

Before he finished speaking, the gate of the Taoist temple creaked open, and a young Taoist priest poked his head out, looked Zhao Tianshi up and down, and said, "Zhao Tianshi, Wudang Mountain is holding a ceremony to worship the ancestors today, and the headmaster is very busy. Please come back another day."

As soon as the young Taoist priest finished speaking, he was about to close the door. Tianshi Zhao was quick to stop him and asked, "Daoyou, you just said that the Grandmaster has returned? Are you still holding a sacrificial ceremony for the Grandmaster?"

Upon hearing this, the young Taoist priest looked at Master Zhao in fear and quickly bowed his head and said, "Master Zhao, you are really embarrassing me by calling me Taoist friend. But the Grand Master has indeed returned, and we will hold a sacrificial ceremony tonight. Now everyone is preparing, and the sacrificial ceremony will begin in three hours."

Master Zhao nodded, but his heart was full of doubts.

Is it such a coincidence? He has also heard news about the ancestor these days. He saw it on a ghost money. He originally thought it was a joke. Could it be that the ancestor of Wudang Mountain has really returned?
He shook his head, full of doubts, but the main reason for coming here this time was because of the rain of ghost money. So, he said earnestly: "My fellow Taoist, I do have an urgent matter to pay a visit to your sect leader. This is not only about my Longhu Mountain, but also involves the five major sects of Emei, Kongtong, Kunlun, and Qingcheng. I hope you can inform Taoist Chong, I really have an urgent matter to pay a visit to him."

The young Taoist priest looked embarrassed, but finally nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and inform them. Please wait here, Heavenly Master."

Tianshi Zhao smiled and nodded, then glanced inside the Taoist temple, trying to find whether Wudang Mountain had also encountered a rain of paper money. However, he did not find any trace of paper money. He couldn't help but wonder, is it because he checked too few places, or is Wudang Mountain already cleaned so thoroughly that not even a piece of paper money was left?
At this time, Zhang Qilin was packing his luggage.

After resting for a few days in Wudang Mountain, he received the next task from Zhang Hao, and prepared to drive the corpse to Longhu Mountain as soon as it got dark. He had no interest in the sacrificial ceremony of Wudang Mountain.

Zhang Qilin put on his black cloak again, glanced at the time, and said softly: "Today is the day to raise the corpse, so it's time to make some preparations." After that, he walked towards the ancestral hall in Wudang Mountain.

Before raising the corpse, he needs to stick the general talisman on the corpse again and observe whether it changes color. If it does not change color, it means that the corpse is fine; if it changes color, it needs to be exorcised and suppressed again.

As soon as he went out, Zhang Qilin met Taoist Master Dao Chong who was walking hurriedly. Taoist Master Dao Chong also noticed him, so he walked over and asked with a smile: "Master, the Wudang sacrificial ceremony officially begins tonight. I hope you can help me take a look. We may not have as much experience as you in dealing with corpses."

Zhang Qilin glanced at Taoist Chong calmly, frowned slightly, and thought to himself: Stay to offer sacrifices? Zhang Hao only asked him to rest in Wudang Mountain and did not mention this matter. Moreover, the people in the inn are not easy to help.

So, he shook his head and said, "Master Daoxuan, what do you think of my Yin Yang Inn?"

Taoist Master Daoxuan was stunned when he heard this. After thinking seriously for a moment, he quickly said, "Of course it is a mysterious place. The Yin Yang Inn can have such a great footman like you, which shows that the innkeeper is an even more remarkable person. Just like the kind of hermit masters that people in the world say. It is a blessing for ordinary people to meet you."

Zhang Qilin nodded slightly and continued to ask coldly: "Master Daoxuan, do you feel any benefits from the return of the ancestor this time? If I am not mistaken, you should be stronger now than the past two days."

Taoist Master Daoxuan looked at Zhang Qilin in astonishment, his eyes full of shock.

Since the ancestor returned to the mountain, he has indeed become stronger, and compared to his previous self, he seems to have crossed a chasm.

Because he has stepped into the exterior scene realm from the half-step exterior scene realm.

This kind of improvement is usually difficult to be seen directly by others, unless someone stronger than him can notice it, or he says it himself.

However, Zhang Qilin had only been in contact with him for a few days, but he could actually see the changes in him!

Taoist Master Daoxuan nodded and sighed, "I didn't expect that the walking master would have such a sharp eye! The gap between the half-step exterior scene and the exterior scene is like a chasm. I have been pursuing it all my life but have never been able to enter the exterior scene realm. I didn't expect that after the ancestor returned to the mountain, I would find that opportunity again and be promoted to the exterior scene realm in one fell swoop! The benefits of the ancestor's return to the mountain are really more than I imagined."

Zhang Qilin nodded slightly, and then said: "So Taoist Master Daoxuan should understand that although the inn has business dealings with Wudang Mountain, you should be clear about the interests involved. The inn only took the merits of all the Taoists in Wudang Mountain for one year, but just based on your breakthrough, Wudang Mountain has already made a lot of money. In other words, you Wudang Mountain has already taken advantage. Now you want the inn's people to help you hold a sacrificial ceremony without going to the inn to place a commission. Do you think it's appropriate? Or does Taoist Master Daoxuan think that the inn can help people casually? This is too much of an underestimation of the inn!"

A drop of cold sweat suddenly broke out on Taoist Daoxuan's forehead.

The strength of the inn can be seen from this footman. This person has just entered the rank, and he already makes him feel so strong that he can't breathe. There are three such people in the inn, one of whom is the shopkeeper. The employees are so powerful, and the shopkeeper is so powerful.

When he came to Zhang Qilin before, he had also thought about this problem, but he didn't expect that the people of Yin Yang Inn were so principled! He thought it was just a matter of helping out, but he accidentally made Yin Yang Inn so uncomfortable. So, he smiled bitterly and apologized quickly: "It was my fault for being abrupt. I didn't think this matter through, and I hope the footman will not blame me. I also hope that Wudang Mountain can maintain not only a trading relationship with Yin Yang Inn, but also establish a deep friendship."

Daoxuan smiled awkwardly and quickly made concessions, not wanting to really offend the Yin Yang Inn.

At the same time, he also understood from Zhang Qilin's attitude what kind of place the Yin Yang Inn was.

It's very simple. If there is a deal, everything is fine. But if there is no deal, it is impossible to ask the inn to help for free.

After all, Yin Yang Inn is an inn located between the Yin and Yang worlds, and it not only does business with the dead, but also with ghosts. It would be a big mistake to treat it as an ordinary inn.

You know, many people who want to pay for help from the inn may not be able to get what they want, because not everyone can ask the inn to help. The inn does not do business with everyone.

Zhang Qilin nodded slightly and continued, "You should ask our shopkeeper. I am just a waiter in the inn and I obey the shopkeeper for all his orders. Now that the shopkeeper wants me to go back to the inn, I can't stay any longer." (End of this chapter)
