Taoist Master: I have a strange world

Chapter 115 Nanjiang Dragon Clan, the Land of Monster People

Zhang Ling was walking in the mountains, and Qingyun Mountain God led the way while telling Zhang Ling about the changes in the past few days.

In this way, we entered the depths of Qingyun Mountain, where there was a peach blossom forest with a small stream in the middle.

Hundreds of steps across the bank, at least at the source of the creek, there was a hill. A small opening on the hill revealed a ray of light.

Qingyun Mountain God smiled and said: "My residence in the mountain is extremely secretive. There is only one entrance, the waterway and this cave."

"So, even if a large army comes to search the mountains, they can't find it."

"Back then, there was a clan in this mountain who dedicated sacrifices to me, and I chose the Son of God from among them."

"While the war was going on outside, I felt content in this mountain under my protection."

Zhang Ling couldn't help but nod when he heard this.

There is something like a "Peach Blossom Spring" in Qingyun Mountain.

Zhang Ling and Qingyun Mountain God walked away from the small mountain pass together. After walking for dozens of steps, they suddenly became enlightened.

The people were very happy, because for them, the place here was more suitable than the place where they once lived.

This is passed down to ten, and ten is passed down to a hundred.

While Zhang Ling and Qingyun Mountain God were observing below, some people also saw Zhang Ling and shouted:
  "Taoist! It's Taoist!"

"It's only now that I am in this mountain that the ghosts and evil spirits can't get close to me, and this place can become a blessed place."

Zhang Ling nodded and saw many people below were busy.

"Then distribute it according to people. Anyway, there is enough land in this blessed land."

Several people came forward, including Zhao Sheng who was wearing a yellow scarf, and a middle-aged man who looked somewhat upright.

Zhang Ling nodded slightly and looked at the tens of thousands of people busy among them. Most of them had more or less alienated states and the characteristics of the Five Poisons.

"After I was suppressed, this blessed land automatically closed and the entrance was cut off."

only……

Qingyun Mountain God shook his head and said: "If there is no spirit in the mountain, it is difficult to guard against the evil spirits, so all the people of that tribe died."

Therefore, this kind of place is also called a secret realm, or a cave heaven or a blessed land.

That Zhou Yuanwai said: "The villagers don't stay here very much, but now how to divide the fields is a problem, and the Taoist priest needs to make a decision."

However, the other party had also been poisoned before and had some alienation on his body.

"It will benefit these people now."

Not to mention the pleasant climate, even the land is fertile.

Zhang Ling nodded, just like the people of China now, under the law of China, they would not encounter any large-scale strange incidents.

But here, they will not be massacred by the Celestial Empire and can live here in peace.

According to Qingyun Mountain God, these earth and stone buildings are all leftover from the past.

"Hello, Chief Taoist!"

Among the people who were massacred, Zhou Yuanwai was almost killed this week, so after Zhang Ling suggested it, he moved his family here directly.

This middle-aged man was dressed in brocade clothes and looked unusual. He was a member of the Zhou Yuanwai in a town and had a good reputation.

"So, there are still some buildings left."

Some of the houses inside are in dilapidated condition, the land is flat, and there are many voices.

Zhang Ling asked: "What about the clan that sacrificed you in the first place?"

"Yes, Taoist priest." Zhou Yuanwai responded, and then asked: "Is it possible to plant now? The villagers don't have much food left now."

Qingyun Mountain God smiled.

But that doesn't mean the world is safe.

"I've met the Taoist priest."

Just like the Qingyun Blessed Land back then, it was also a paradise, but without the Qingyun Mountain God, it lacked protection and could not survive forever.

However, according to Qingyun Mountain God, there was such a place in all the mountains and rivers in the past era of gods.

"I see."

Zhang Ling thought for a while, then decided to use the actual situation to make an equal share.

The person Zhang Ling was looking for with management ability was Zhou Yuanwai to help manage the people.
  "Taoist Master."

On the flat land, there are some brand new houses, most of which are made of wood and bamboo, and some of which are made of earth and stone, but they all have an air of vicissitudes of life.

"Taoist Master, you are finally out!"

"Taoist Master, this place was called Qingyun Blessed Land in ancient times."

"It's dead."

They stepped forward to see Zhang Ling and reported on the situation in the past few days. They also had matters for Zhang Ling to decide.

All the people in Qingyun Blessed Land couldn't help but put down what they were doing and shouted to pay their respects to Zhang Ling.

"It's okay, let's eat from the big pot together before growing food."

Zhang Ling asked: "Has the granary been built?"

"All right."

Zhang Ling said: "Take me there."

"it is good."

As they headed to the granary, people gathered all the way around Zhang Ling, all wanting to say something to Zhang Ling.

Some said there was no food at home, and some wanted to divide their fields.

Amidst the voices of people, Zhang Ling calmed down and realized the world of mortals.

Not long after, before arriving at the granary, many people had gathered behind Zhang Ling.

Only then did Zhang Ling speak, his voice like thunder:

"I brought food for everyone, and also brought some seeds, which can be planted in the ground on a given day."

With that said, Zhang Ling arrived in front of the granary in full view of everyone.

He took off the green leather gourd from his waist and opened it to the empty granary.

Wow!
  Immediately, food spilled out from it, densely packed.

In just a moment, a small mountain of grain piled up.

These common people, except for those wearing yellow scarves, had never seen this scene before, and they were all stunned.

And in the past few days, the slight worry about food shortage in my heart has completely disappeared.

Instead, he looked at Zhang Ling with a look of admiration and even fanaticism as if he were looking at a god.

Although this food is not enough for these people to consume for a long time, it at least alleviates the people's worries in recent days.

"Thank you, Taoist Priest!"

The first people to express their gratitude started a chain reaction, with people thanking one after another.

Zhang Ling nodded slightly, and then asked Zhou Yuanwai about several high-yielding grain seeds he had brought.

After doing this, Zhang Ling could see that the people's faces were filled with joy, as if they had great hope in life.

Seeing this, Zhang Ling couldn't help but sigh, the people in this kind of feudal society are easy to be satisfied.

"Taoist Priest!"

And Zhao Sheng has been following Zhang Ling during this process.

After watching Zhang Ling explain everything, he seemed to have made up his mind, knelt down towards Zhang Ling and kowtowed several times.

"What? If you have something to say directly, you don't need to be so polite." Zhang Ling said.

Zhao Sheng gritted his teeth, determination appeared on his young face, and said: "I want to become the master of the Taoist priest. Please accept me as a disciple!"

As he spoke, Zhao Sheng kowtowed repeatedly. Zhang Ling pondered, he had already seen what the child was thinking.

In other words, when Zhang Ling saved the souls of the dead for the first time, he discovered that Zhao Sheng had some talent.

Moreover, there was a light of curiosity in Zhao Sheng's eyes.

However, Zhang Ling was a little surprised that the other party wanted to become a disciple now.

Zhang Ling pondered for a moment and said: "Tao should not be taught lightly, and the road to cultivating Taoism is even longer. Are you sure you want to follow me in cultivating Taoism?"

"I've thought about it." Zhao Sheng affirmed, with a look of determination on his face: "I want to see the order in the underworld that the Taoist said, and I also want to help the folks like the Taoist."

Zhang Ling shook his head and said: "This alone is not enough for me to accept you as my disciple."

"You should get up first. We are not destined to be masters and disciples yet."

Zhang Ling muttered: "However, you work for me and take care of the people, so you should have some ability to protect yourself."

"I will choose a day to select some suitable young men from among the common people. As Taoist boys, if they are destined, they will naturally be able to enter the court and become true Taoist priests in the future."

As he spoke, Zhang Ling waved his hand, and an invisible wind lifted Zhao Sheng up.

Zhang Ling has no plans to accept disciples for the time being.

But as he said, these tens of thousands of people should have some ability to protect themselves.

Moreover...cultivating the Tao is not something you can do alone.

Many rituals require the assistance of Taoist boys.

Naturally, Zhang Ling thought of training some Taoist boys.

There are outstanding ones among them, so it is not an exaggeration to accept them as disciples.

These are also some of Zhang Ling’s deliberate attempts.

He wants to try, can his own Taoist ultimatum protect others' practice? Just like the French Open of that day, it can be used by all the temples in the world.

If this thing comes to pass, then Zhang Ling can completely establish another Taoism in this other world, and use this to practice the meaning of Taoism and strengthen the power of Taoism.

However, this matter will not be carried out today.

Zhang Ling asked Zhao Sheng to go down and select suitable candidates, preferably boys or teenagers, and Zhang Ling would provide unified guidance.

After receiving Zhang Ling's words, Zhao Sheng was happy to do things.

Zhang Ling, on the other hand, was alone, walking around in this blessed land of Qingyun and asking the God of Qingyun Mountain.

"Qingyun, you said that outside Qingyun Mountain, there is a place that the Heavenly Kingdom has not touched. So are there many gods outside?"

"There are not many left, most of them have turned into powerful mountain ghosts and water ghosts."

Qingyun Mountain's Shinto said: "The legal network of that day is great, but we, the pure spirits, are the ones who can suppress it. Some mountain ghosts and water ghosts cannot be suppressed together."

"In the Age of Gods, the whole world is in chaos. The further outward you go, the more the earth becomes polluted."

"So the territory of the Celestial Empire is limited, not that it occupies the whole world."

Qingyun Mountain God informed this.

"So what's the situation in Nanjiang?"

Zhang Ling asked: "The Nanjiang River passes outside Qingyun Mountain, so does the Nanjiang River have its original earthly river god?"

"It existed before, but in the age of gods it was contaminated by an evil spirit and turned into a terrifying existence."

Qingyun Mountain God said: "The Nanjiang River is so vast that I don't know how many thousands of miles away it is. In the past, it was one of the most powerful earth gods in the world. It manifested itself in the body of a dragon. There was also a clan in the river called the Nanjiang Dragon Clan."

"But at the end of the Age of Gods, it was suddenly polluted and turned into a pitch-black evil dragon. The water of the Nanjiang River was also darkened overnight. The dragon clan of the Nanjiang River and the creatures on both sides of the river were all alienated. They were also known as 'all living things are like dragons'. In fact, they are all contaminated.”

"What's the situation in Nanjiang now?" Zhang Ling asked.

Now, on the Chinese side, Zhang Ling is probably wanted by the Chinese government and cannot walk around at will.

Therefore, even if you want to make trade contacts, you can only go to Nanjiang.

Zhang Ling wanted to know something about Nanjiang.

"I do not know either."

Qingyun Mountain God shook his head and said: "I have been suppressed for too long, and I don't know what Nanjiang has become now."

Hearing this, Zhang Ling was not disappointed.

Instead, he looked south.

He remembered that Lu Qiuyi was heading towards Nanjiang, and that there was going to be a 'Halloween Conference' here.

This shows that today's Nanjiang is not a forbidden land for life.

On the contrary, there may be another order.

"Taoist Master, you can ask the people."

The God of Qingyun Mountain suddenly spoke and gave a suggestion: "Among the common people, some are doing business. Qingyun Mountain isolates the inside and outside of the Celestial Empire and is actually a trade barrier."

"Maybe there will be people coming in and out for business, so you can ask Taoist Priest."

Qingyun Mountain God's suggestion reminded Zhang Ling.

"Yes, it's impossible that the people here don't know something about Nanjiang."

Zhang Ling came to his senses and went to find the member of the Zhou family.

He remembered that Zhou Yuanwai's family started off as a businessman, so he had no power, so he was infected by the poisonous evil spirit. Later, he was almost killed by the Yanling Guards of the Celestial Dynasty.

In this way, Zhang Ling found Zhou Yuanwai again.

Zhou Yuanwai looks like a middle-aged man, with some vicissitudes of life on his face. There is an extra hole in front of each ear and a bulging waist.

In fact, it was a tail, like a gecko's tail.

This is the state of alienation outside Zhou Yuanwai's house. There is a nest of poisonous geckos in the well water of his home, causing the whole family to become alienated with different symptoms.

"What is the mission of the Taoist Master?"

When Zhou Yuanwai saw Zhang Ling, he immediately said: "If something happens, the Taoist priest can send him as much as he can. Our Zhou family will do our best."

"Nothing to do, just wanted to ask some questions."

Zhang Ling shook his head and asked directly: "Your family is engaged in business, so do you know what is going on in Nanjiang outside the Celestial Empire?"

"Nanjiang? If the Taoist leader is asking about other people, he really may not know."

"If it were me before, I definitely wouldn't have said it."

Zhou Yuanwai first said this, "But my Zhou family is one of the people who know about Nanjiang."

"Because our Zhou family made a fortune by taking an adventure to Nanjiang to do business."

"Then tell me about Nanjiang." Zhang Ling's eyes lit up slightly, but he didn't expect to gain something all of a sudden.

"it is good."

Zhou Yuanwai agreed and then talked about Nanjiang.

"The Nanjiang River is vast. The river alone is thousands of miles long. Both sides of the river are considered the land of the Nanjiang River."

"And in Nanjiang, it is actually divided into Jiangdong and Jiangxi."

"What our Zhou family knows about Nanjiang is only part of it, because we have never gone too deep into Nanjiang."

Zhou Yuanwai took a deep breath and said: "The land of Nanjiang is full of monsters!"

"Demon people?"

Zhang Ling's brows moved and he was a little surprised: "But what are the 'demon people' that the Yanling Guards call them?"

"good."

Zhou Yuanwai said in a deep voice: "The theory of demon people has been around since ancient times."

"It is rumored that from the earliest days, it was because of the land of Nanjiang that all the creatures on both sides of the river turned into monsters overnight. That's how the term monsters came to be."
