After dinner, Meng Zhenhan drove the car and took the "Four Evils" on the road.

Because he knew before he came that he would take four "people" with him on this trip and that he would be walking on a mountainous road, Meng Weihan rented an SUV directly in Yingtan city and pre-installed two charging boxes and a lot of food. Drinking water can be said to be quite well prepared.

The atmosphere in the car was unexpectedly more harmonious, because Fang Xiangqi had made it clear that he and Meng Chuanhan were both under the command of the "Reporter", and the attitudes of Chi Owl (Taotie), Tao Wu (梼杌) and Di Min (Chaos) There have also been some changes, at least the idea of ​​eating Meng Yanhan has been completely given up.

"Little Taoist priest, I forgot to ask..." While driving, Chi Owl, who was sitting in the passenger seat, chatted with Meng Zehan in a relaxed tone, "You said you were from Hemingshan That’s right, why don’t you go to your own mountain gate first to find the inheritance from your ancestors, and why don’t you go to Longhu Mountain to find it?”

"How do you know I haven't looked for him?" Meng Zhenhan looked forward and asked casually.

"Nonsense, if we find it, your cultivation will definitely be more than what it is now." Chi Owl is still knowledgeable. Over the past thousands of years, he has seen many powerful Taoist priests. Meng Yuanhan's cultivation He knew where he was going at a glance.

"Okay..." Meng Zhenhan also knew that he couldn't hide the lies, so he told the truth, "It's not a secret now anyway, so it doesn't hurt to tell you..." He paused and continued, " The things left by our ancestor, the old man Zhang Tianshi, are roughly divided into three parts, among which... the 'Qi' is in Longhu, the 'Dharma' is in Heming, and the 'Tao' is in Qingcheng."

"That's not right." Chi Owl interrupted, "It is rumored that the Talisman Magical Artifact given to him by Taishang Laojun was after he moved to Heming Mountain. How could the 'treasure' be in Longhu Mountain?"

"Listen to what I have to say." Meng Zhenhan continued, "In the early years, Master Zhang lived in a hut in Longhu Mountain, built an altar to refine elixirs, and naturally left behind a secret mountain gate. On the eve of his ascension, he was afraid of old age. The things you gave me were scattered in the world and became a disaster, so I hid them all in the secret realm I set up in Longhu Mountain, leaving many restrictions to prevent outsiders from stealing them.

"The classics recording the Celestial Master's techniques were left in Heming Mountain and passed down by the descendants of Zhengdao. Unfortunately, with the changes of the times, many classics were unknowingly lost... until one hundred Many years ago, it was said that a leader named Zuo emerged from the sect. By chance, he found a copy. However, before he left any descendants, he broke through the void and ascended. When he left... the members of his lineage The 'spell' has been completely lost. As for my lineage, it is all taught by word of mouth and heart. Now my master is also dead, so..."

After hearing this, Chi Owl understood: "I understand, I understand..." He paused for half a second, "Then... what about 'Tao'?"

"'Tao'?" Meng Zhenhan smiled bitterly, "Ha... you can find it in the library. Every word is there. Whether you can understand it or not depends on you."

"Tch...it turns out that the most useless things are the most widely circulated." At this time, Fang Xiangqi, who was sitting in the back row (because Meng Zhenhan insisted that "children cannot sit in the front row") took the opportunity to complain.

"No~no~" As a result, Meng Zhenhan's fortune-telling tone came in, "In the final analysis, refining elixirs to build a foundation, borrowing energy from royal weapons, and using magic to subjugate demons...these are all 'conquering them with force.'" Good people can do these things, but evil people can also do them.

"But 'Tao'... is the best method.

"In the last few years of the human world, the Celestial Master was proficient in Taoism and mysticism. He did not focus on shapes, objects, or techniques...but focused on moral classics and understood the principles of heaven and man. He only needed to preach the scriptures and he could make the demons Surrender, take refuge in the right path, educate the people, and have immeasurable merits

"Therefore, 'Tao' is the most precious treasure left by the Heavenly Master in this world."

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Hu also smiled: "Ha... Although you made it sound like that, in reality, it seems that the treasure left by your heavenly master to all mankind is not taken too seriously. What’s going on?”

"Humans...mostly are still vulgar." Meng Zhenhan continued, "Not to mention others, I can't understand the 'Tao'. If I can understand it, I will also ascend."

While they were chatting, the car was driving quickly up the mountain.

As a tourist attraction, Taoist temples on the mountain naturally have "closing time". At this point, all Taoist temples have been closed; and tourists, including some "Taoist priests" who clock in to work every day, have gone down to the mountain before dinner. Stay at a nearby hotel or go home. Therefore, when driving up the mountain at this time, the road is basically smooth, and you can race if you want.

Meng Zhenhan, who usually drives a taxi, is undoubtedly very good at driving. Even though the mountain road is winding and bumpy, he quickly arrived at the destination of his trip - "Tianshi Temple".

The name "Tianshi Temple" is actually not a Taoist temple, but a circled tourist attraction built on a mountain.

At the beginning of the 21st century in this universe, the "Empire" that unified the world launched a purge of religions. During that period, all Taoist temples, temples and other buildings around the world were demolished, including the remaining Qing Palace on Longhu Mountain. None of the big clocks were left. But a hundred years later, with the corruption of the imperial regime, many "gates" were reopened. At that time, some local officials set up tourist areas here and rebuilt some "Taoist temples" in the name of protecting cultural heritage. Teacher Guan is one of them.

Later, when the empire collapsed and the Federation was established, they no longer had to care about these matters. After all, these tourist attractions themselves did not engage in religious propaganda, but were only used for business.

So, in a blink of an eye, we arrived in the twenty-third century...

Bang——

After getting out of the car and closing the door, Meng Zhenhan arrived at the gate of Tianshi Temple in three steps and two steps at a time.

At this moment, the ticket window and automatic ticket vending machine here are closed, and only a small door room is still lit.

Meng Zhenhan came to the window of the concierge and knocked on the glass a few times. After ten seconds, an old man in security uniform lazily poked his head out from there and said, "Who is it?" Huh? It’s closed, didn’t you see it?”

Meng Zhenhan was polite, and bowed to the other party: "This fellow Taoist... I apologize for being so rude, but I am here to visit you on a starry night. I really have some hidden secrets."

"Huh?" The old man looked at him like he was looking at a fool, "What fellow Taoist? Have you watched too many movies, young man? I just looked at the gate." As he spoke, he raised his finger and pointed down the mountain. On that road, "The Taoist priests have already got off work. If you want to take a photo with them and tell fortunes, please come early tomorrow."

When it comes to this, most people would go back, but Meng Zhenhan is not an ordinary person, and he knows very well that the "gatekeeper" in front of him is not an ordinary person either.

"Senior..." Meng Zhenhan continued, "Don't be too busy and take a look at my car." As he said that, he also raised his hand and pointed his sword fingers at the car parked aside. SUV.

The concierge glanced there suspiciously, and two seconds later, his face disappeared from the window. Immediately, there was a sound of someone falling from the chair to the ground in the concierge.

After a few more seconds, the door on the other side of the door room opened, and the old man came out of it cautiously, holding on to the wall. He also bowed to Meng Zhenhan, and lowered his voice and said: "Poverty Taoist Longhu Shantian. The current head of the master's office, Shan Hansong, has a great surname and where did he learn from?"

"Senior, you're welcome. I am Meng Zhenhan, the master of Heming Mountain. I learned from the previous leader Li Bingyi. My master also mentioned the name of Senior Shan to me. Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to come to visit. I still hope that Haihan will come." Meng Zhenhan. Han also gave a salute.

"Oh...it turns out to be Taoist priest Li's disciple..." Shan Hansong calmed down a little when he heard that the other party told his origins in a clear and logical manner, but he was still uneasy about Meng Xianhan's purpose, "I just don't know. Nephew Meng Xian, please bring me Come with those four people..." When he said this, he lowered his voice even lower, "...what are you going to do? Are you coming to destroy my mountain sect?" He said with sincerity and satisfaction. Manchu added in a tone of voice, "I'll tell you the truth... Actually, there aren't many people here anymore. There are still a few broken books and a few magic weapons left in the door. You can take them all if you want. I can take them with you." As the disciples collectively return to secular life, the Tianshi Mansion will also belong to you from now on. As long as everyone doesn't take action, it will be easy to discuss."

"No, no, you misunderstood." Meng Zhenhan quickly waved his hands and said, "This junior came here because he wanted to explore the mountains. I came to your place. First, I wanted to say hello to you so as not to disturb the local comrades; second, I wanted to visit you. Just for your convenience, I hope I can park my car in your parking lot before I finish my work."

"Oh~ So that's it." Shan Hansong let out a long breath and continued, "Okay, okay, we are all of the same kind, and it is appropriate to make it convenient. Don't worry, give me the car keys, and I will help you park; you guys You can watch whatever you want in the mountains, I know all the local comrades, and I will inform them in the chat group shortly to ensure that no one will bother you."

…………

Things progressed quite smoothly. Meng Zhenhan took down some useful things from the car, then led the four murderers on foot into the forest together, leaving his car with Shan Laodao to park.

With the guidance of the "Tian Ji Pan", Meng Zhenhan walked ahead, walking through the mountains and forests. After walking for about an hour, he successfully found the secret door left by Zhang Tianshi in a mountain pass.

However, the real "difficulty" begins here.

"What's wrong? You can't break through this little trick?" Chi Ou asked when he saw Meng Zehan standing still in front of the rock hiding the mountain gate, thinking that the other man was not good at Taoism.

"It's just because it's too simple, so there's something wrong..." Meng Zhenhan continued, "Taoist Master Shan we met before should be able to crack a spell of this level; he has been on the mountain for so many years, there is no reason We can’t find this place, but if we find it, there’s no reason to leave it alone, right?”

"Perhaps there are rules within their sect that prohibit this place from being touched?" Chi Owl hypothesized.

Meng Zhenhan said: "Maybe... But if you think so, then it's a bit strange that he didn't even ask me about my visit to the mountains, nor did he give me any reminder. "

After hearing this, Emperor Zhen also said thoughtfully: "That makes sense. I'm afraid that Old Taoist Shan is not as simple as he seems."

"Well..." Meng Zhenhan also continued in a deep voice, "And this mountain gate's 'eyesore' is probably not as easy to break as it seems..."
