From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 80 Setting up the Altar
"What kind of person is so proud that he can't even talk to me?"

"Reporting to Team Leader Gao, no."

Two young soldiers stood in front of Gao Miao with determined eyes.

Noticing the movement, Wuming glanced at Gao Miao and then turned and left.

Gao Miao was slightly stunned, and Wuming looked at him with some confusion and a hint of weirdness in his eyes.

What Gao Miao didn't know was that at this glance, the Sanskrit shadow on his heart jumped.

The four Taoist priests quickly discussed it and began to survey the terrain near the cave to determine the location of the altar and the 108 array jades.

Gao Miao followed Zheng Zhaoyuan's group and calculated the placement points on the south side of the Xixiang Pool.

Although there was still a lot of Yin energy accumulated in his body, Gao Miao's physical strength had reached an abnormal level after being soaked in half a drop of Earth Milk by Li Yang. After arriving at Mount Emei, he performed a bullet-proof show for several Taoist priests, which stunned Zheng Zhaoyuan.

There is a mountain stream on the south side of the Elephant Washing Pool. The snow is piled up so deep that it reaches your knees with every step you take.

The two did not talk much. After years of practicing the Xuanwu Nourishing Blood Array, Zheng Zhaoyuan's cultivation was actually the highest among the four. It didn't take long for him to determine the burial location of the south side array jade.

After working for a long time and marking the location, the two men swept the snow off a huge rock and sat down to rest.

"My friend, I heard that you just came down from Baiyun Mountain?"

"I was ill, so I went to Baiyun Mountain for treatment."

Zheng Zhaoyuan nodded and asked him about Li Yang's recent situation.

Hearing the old Taoist priest mention Li Yang, Gao Miao was a little surprised: "Master, do you know Li Zhenren from Baiyun Mountain?"

Zheng Zhaoyuan smiled cheerfully: "More than knowing each other, he and I are half-fellow Taoists. We have exchanged many things."

After saying this, Zheng Zhaoyuan sighed a little. After coming out of the Yuqing Temple where he had practiced hard, he became a little more tactful. Later, when he heard that Li Yang had a Blood Ruyi in his hand, he knew that it was in exchange for Li Yang's help in drawing in his Qi.

"Master Li is doing fine. I can't tell what he practices, but he is very strong, a bit like the legendary immortal."

With a common topic, the two guys, who were originally a bit dull, actually started chatting happily. The more Zheng Zhaoyuan looked at Gao Miao, the more satisfied he became.

Zheng Zhaoyuan suddenly changed the subject and asked, "I see that your body is as strong as iron, but there is always a dark aura lurking between your eyebrows. I wonder what the reason is?"

"I felt much better after being on Baiyun Mountain. I was injured by something before, and that thing left some Yin Qi in my body, which almost made me half-human and half-ghost."

"I have a technique here that can refine your Qi and blood. It may help you relieve the torment of Yin Qi. I wonder if you are interested."

"Really?" Gao Miao was overjoyed. The sooner he could get rid of the torture of Yin energy, the better he could do more in the army.

Zheng Zhaoyuan stroked his beard and nodded.

He was very satisfied with Gao Miao's aptitude and character, and originally wanted to take him as his disciple. However, Gao Miao's strength was higher than his, so he wanted to establish a good relationship with him and pass on his skills to him. This would also mean that the things of Yuqing Temple would be passed down in his hands.

After learning Gao Miao's skills, as the two walked towards the Elephant Washing Pool, Gao Miao suddenly noticed a white monkey at the source of the mountain stream, half of its body buried in the snow and the other half soaked in the mountain stream.

The two men dug the monkey out. Zheng Zhaoyuan had been to Mount Emei before and immediately recognized that this was a Tibetan macaque unique to Mount Emei.

This white-haired Tibetan macaque was particularly large, and its chest was still warm. Gao Miao immediately carried the monkey back to the Elephant Washing Pool.

They had never seen a Tibetan macaque of this size before. After the medical staff stationed there gave it a simple treatment, the other three Taoist priests heard that they had found a different species and hurried over to check it out. The monkey's physical data was collected, and not only the medical staff, but also Captain Zhao was alarmed and hurried over to check it out.

This monkey had a forehead of steel and bones of incredible hardness. Gao Miao felt nothing when he carried it back, but when he placed it on the hospital bed, it almost collapsed the bed.

The infusion needle couldn't be inserted, but Captain Zhao refused to believe it. As a result, even the small-caliber pistol he carried with him couldn't penetrate the monkey's defense.

The person in the house looked at the monkey, then looked at Gao Miao who was standing nearby, with a strange expression.

This monkey, aren’t you a copy of Gao Miao?

However, when the medical staff lifted the hair, the wound on the monkey's chest quickly calmed the people in the room.

His body was able to block bullets, but his chest was almost ripped open.

That afternoon, Captain Zhao sent people to search the mountain again to guard against unknown enemies that might appear in the mountains.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, in order to prevent any accidents, the authorities directly airlifted 108 pieces of cut green jade. The four Taoist priests carved the array jade overnight, buried them one by one, and started to set up the array the next morning.

Wu Peng and Chen Xiyan went down the "Doutan". Wu Peng wore a Taoist robe with gold and silver threads, held a magic tool in his hand, and performed rituals, chanted scriptures, stepped on the Gangdou, and burned petitions.

Gao Miao was mesmerized by the scene. Unlike Li Yang, Wu Peng's performance on the altar was a bit exaggerated and complicated. Wu Peng chanted mysterious tunes and danced gracefully on the altar, just like a short play.

However, as soon as the altar was set up, Gao Miao immediately felt that the atmosphere on the mountain was a little different. As Wu Peng gradually chanted, the nine large windmills began to echo each other faintly. The things in the cave seemed to sense something, and the six-one mud blocking the cave entrance fell down.

"There's a show!"

At this moment, Gao Miao suddenly felt the absurdity of the interaction between fantasy and reality.

There were brightly lit concrete high-rises at the foot of the mountain, but these modern people on the mountain were actually setting up an altar to exorcise demons?

At the foot of the mountain, in each stronghold, there were one or two middle-aged men or aunties who looked tired and poorly dressed, rushing towards the closed mountain entrance in a panic.

The officers and soldiers guarding the checkpoint immediately noticed something was wrong and sent people over to stop them from negotiating, but these people didn't pay any attention and rushed straight to the checkpoint as if they were deaf.

Realizing that something was wrong, several officers and soldiers tried to forcibly disperse the group with batons and riot shields.
Several middle-aged women and men suddenly rushed towards them, shouting, with flame-like patterns appearing on their bodies.

Gunshots were heard from the foot of the mountain. Wu Peng, who was setting up the altar, was startled and almost took the wrong step.

Captain Zhao stood up quickly.

"Sure enough, there are some guys watching this mountain!"

Upon hearing that several people had broken through the defenses and rushed up the mountain, Captain Zhao ordered some officers and soldiers to block them on the mountain road.

However, just as these officers and soldiers left, three figures suddenly jumped out from the snow in the mountains and forests and rushed towards the altar.

No one knew when they were buried in the snow or how many days they had been buried. As soon as they jumped up, patterns of fire emanated from their bodies.

"No wonder the mountain patrol couldn't find you!"

Intensive gunfire rang out, Gao Miao roared and rushed towards them.
