Chapter 18: White Crane in Shangjing, the Ancient Capital of Six Dynasties

The capital of China, Shangjing City.

Baihe Temple is not the largest Taoist temple in China, nor does it occupy any famous mountain or cave.

However, he is the uncrowned king in Taoism. In terms of status, he is even above the ten famous mountains of Taoism in the world.

The reason is simple, it is because the Baihe Temple’s Taoist temple is in Shangjing, representing the highest will.

It is no exaggeration to say that any activities organized by Taoist sects in various places need to be reported to Shangjing City and approved by Baihe Temple, which shows how high its status and power are.

In the early morning, a ray of sunlight shines through the branches and leaves and splashes into the yard.

A chubby Taoist priest was sitting cross-legged on a cushion, his eyes half-open and half-closed, with only a slit showing through, guiding a faint light, which seemed to turn into a line and enter his eyes, looking very much like the gods and Buddhas in a Taoist temple.

At this moment, strange phenomena suddenly arose around the fat Taoist priest, attracting the surrounding birds to stop and chirp.

In Taoism, only when one enters the realm of [high power] and returns to the true self, can one experience the strange phenomenon of [fragrance all over the body].

Anyone who can comprehend this state is no longer an ordinary person.

In ancient times, many great figures were claimed to be the reincarnations of immortals from heaven, and there were many strange phenomena when they were born, such as fragrance in the room.

"Brother, news has come from Jiangbei Province that the Jade Certificate Transmission Ceremony at Zhenwu Mountain should be over."

At this moment, a tall and thin Taoist priest walked in from outside.

"Is everything going well?" The chubby Taoist priest said calmly without opening his eyes.

"I'm not sure. It looks like there's nothing unusual. It should be smooth sailing." The tall and thin Taoist said uncertainly.

"It will never end, it will never be annihilated, there will be a rest after seventy-three generations..."

"Is it possible that the verses left by the founder of Zhenwu Mountain are just nonsense?" The chubby Taoist slowly opened his eyes, revealing a look of doubt.

"Brother, Chu Chaoran is a living immortal in this world, the best in the world, and the top in Taoism. With him around, how can the Taoist tradition of Zhenwu Mountain be cut off?" The tall and thin Taoist priest whispered in a serious tone.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Zhenwu Jade Certificate should have been passed to that girl Xia Weisheng."

Xia Weisheng is Chu Chaoran's last disciple. When he first accepted him as a disciple, he held a grand ceremony and invited all parties to come into the mountain to watch the ceremony.

"Xia Weisheng..." The chubby Taoist narrowed his eyes slightly.

"My Baihe Temple has been suppressed by Zhenwu Mountain for several dozen years. Isn't it because of Chu Chaoran? This generation, it's time for our Baihe Temple to come forward."

Baihe Temple holds the leading position in the world's Taoist sects, but a man named Chu Chaoran appeared in Zhenwu Mountain, who is known as the best in the world. This makes the position of Baihe Temple quite embarrassing.

“I heard that the girl has reached a high level of cultivation, a high level cultivator in her early twenties.” The tall and thin Taoist priest exclaimed.

In Taoism, being able to comprehend the realm of high skill before the age of thirty is extremely rare, one in ten thousand, not to mention reaching high skill in just over twenty years old, which is already a heaven-defying fortune.

"What's that?"

The chubby Taoist sneered and said, "I am the successor of the White Crane Temple in this generation. I am unparalleled in the history of the world and will surely be invincible in the world."

"Junior Brother Li..." The tall and thin Taoist priest's eyes focused, and a figure emerged in his mind.

Since ancient times, among the top ten Taoists in the world, nine were surnamed Zhang and one was surnamed Li.

This surname alone is extraordinary, not to mention that the successor of Baihe Temple has a fortune that surpasses that of all the ancestors. In comparison, Xia Weisheng, who has achieved high achievements in his early twenties, is nothing.

"Eighty years ago, the Dao sect suffered a great catastrophe, and Mount Longhu has been closed for eighty years... The higher-ups have decided to reopen Mount Longhu next year."

At this moment, the chubby Taoist priest said in a deep voice.

"Are you really going to reopen Mount Longhu?" The tall and thin Taoist's expression suddenly changed.

The catastrophe eighty years ago caused the Longhu Mountain, known as the ancestral home of Taoism, to be closed since then. It has been a desolate place ever since. The scenic area has not been developed to its deep core areas, and it has barely become a 4A-level scenic area.

“Brother, I heard that in that catastrophe, all the people of Longhu Zhang family died. Now they are really going to…” the Taoist master couldn’t help but say.

The Zhang family of Longhu Mountain is the descendant of Zhang Daoling, the founder of Taoism. They were once known as the number one school of cultivation in Taoism and a family of immortals.

"This has already been decided." The chubby Taoist priest said calmly: "Next year, when Longhu Mountain is opened, no matter what the True Martial Heir is, it will be dim and dull."

The tall and thin Taoist nodded subconsciously when he heard this.

In this life, the successor of Baihe Temple is invincible, and any cultivator living in the same era is destined to be his foil.

……

Jiangnan Province, Yujing City.

The golden land of the Six Dynasties and the ten-mile gilded river.

As a world-renowned ancient capital, Yujing City is also one of the only two cities in the country with the word "Jing" in its name.

"I'll take you home."

As soon as he got off the plane, Li Yishan clamored to drive Zhang Fan back.

"No need, my dad is back today, so I can just buy some food."

"Uncle is back?" Li Yishan couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Fan's family conditions were average. When he was twelve years old, his mother died in a car accident, leaving him and his father Zhang Lingzong to depend on each other.

Ever since Zhang Fan entered high school, Zhang Lingzong has been away from home all year round, working on construction sites. He relied on frugality to support Zhang Fan's four years of college.

In the past, when the construction site was the busiest, Zhang Lingzong would only come back at the end of the year, around the Chinese New Year.

"Now that he has graduated, he must be worried about me, so he came back to visit me." Zhang Fan said casually.

Over the years, although the father and son only get together during the New Year, he is aware of his father's hard work and care.

"Uncle Zong, please tell me before you leave. I will treat you to a meal."

After saying goodbye to Li Yishan, Zhang Fan took the subway home alone.

Just after the rush hour, there were not many people on Line 2, especially the farther away from the city, the fewer people there were on the train.

"I drank too much last night. Did you take me back?"

At this moment, a charming voice came from the side. Zhang Fan subconsciously glanced over and saw a girl with twin ponytails. She was tall and thin, wearing a JK short skirt, white straight socks, black leather shoes, and carrying a cute fox bag. She was talking on the phone.

"You sent me back and you didn't touch me. You're so nice."

The girl with twin ponytails had a smile in her eyes and spoke in a slightly hushed voice. The person on the other end of the line was distracted and a decisive voice came out.

"I like you, so I respect you..."

"I like you so much, I promise to be with you..."

"I'm not lying to you... I tried ninety-nine boys, and you're the only one who couldn't hold back..."

"Okay, don't be jealous, they all left the next day..."

"Be good...I promise you, the child will definitely take your last name..."

The girl with twin ponytails had a faint glow on her red lips, which made her look particularly attractive under the lights of the subway.

"Um!?"

At this moment, Zhang Fan raised his eyebrows and revealed a strange look. Just now, he clearly saw a furry tail exposed under the short skirt of the girl with twin ponytails, and he almost swept past her.

"You really know how to have fun." Zhang Fan curled his lips.

At the same time, the girl with twin ponytails just finished talking. She turned her head and her watery eyes met Zhang Fan's.

The girl with the ponytails smiled slightly and walked towards him...

Before I got close, a faint scent of perfume filled the air, very much like the breath of spring revival.

"Ouch……"

Suddenly, the girl with twin ponytails lost her balance when passing by Zhang Fan. She staggered and was about to fall to the ground.

Zhang Fan was quick to support her. The girl with twin ponytails leaned towards Zhang Fan's chest and placed one hand on it, and a warm and numb feeling came over him.

"Are you OK……"

"Thank you, big brother..."

The girl with twin ponytails looked at Zhang Fan delicately, appearing both polite and harmless.

"It's great to meet my big brother..."

At this moment, the subway arrived at the station. The girl with twin ponytails looked at Zhang Fan and said weakly, "Big brother, I'm here. Do you want to get off with me?"

"My next stop." Zhang Fan shook his head.

The girl with twin ponytails was stunned for a moment when she heard this. Seeing that the door was about to close, she could only look at Zhang Fan twice more and got off the subway with confusion.

Zhang Fan looked through the window at the girl with twin ponytails walking away and subconsciously touched his chest.

"Huh? Why is there a tuft of hair?"

Zhang Fan raised his hand and found that there was a tuft of hair on his chest. It was short red hair and had a strange, fishy smell.

"It's a bit disgusting." Zhang Fan sniffed it and threw the tuft of hair aside.

At the same time, the girl with twin ponytails just got off the subway and landed in an empty corner, where she started talking to herself to her own shadow.

"What's going on? I lent him a love debt, why is there no response? He actually rejected me?" The girl with twin ponytails was no longer as weak as before, and looked a little fierce.

"Girl, it's not easy to be a spirit medium... You just burned a few sticks of incense, and you can use the method passed down by our Hu family's grandfather to do whatever you want?"

A sinister laugh sounded faintly, and at the same time, the shadow of the girl with twin ponytails turned into a fox head.

The so-called "going out to practice" means practicing by borrowing the power of spirits and obscene sacrifices. The most famous ones are the five families of Hu, Huang, Bai, Liu and Hui.

Among them, the Hu family has the most magic techniques, and [Peach Blossom Debt] is the easiest one to practice.

Anyone who borrows the Hu family's [Peach Blossom Debt] will have romantic encounters when they go out, and will be surrounded by many admirers. The person they love will also be willing to stay with them.

However, once you have borrowed the [Peach Blossom Debt], you will be subject to the control of the spirit medium, and the most important thing is that you have to use your own Yang energy to repay the debt.

"I used your fox fur, how come the spell is ineffective!?" The girl with twin ponytails gritted her teeth.

"Hehe, you're not very skilled yourself, and you blame me?" The sinister laughter sounded again.

"I'll help you...but you'll have to offer an additional chicken in the evening."

As he spoke, the shadow of the fox head swayed gently, and the shadow between the eyebrows seemed to be covered by a ball of light, showing the shape of peach petals. A faint fragrance spread out, attracting pedestrians in the distance to stop...

"Peach blossom debt, peach blossom debt, if you don't pay it back when you are alive, you won't be buried after you die. Yang energy is like wealth, and the ten evils will be defeated..."

A sinister voice sounded faintly, revealing a hint of mystery and depth.

The twin-tailed girl had a dissolute smile on her face. What she liked most was to look for her target on the subway. She was lustful and anyone who wanted to take advantage of her body would have to borrow money to pay it back...

The [Hu Xiaojiao] she worshipped was the most talented one among all the little foxes in the Hu family...

"Don't you like to peek at me? I'll let you peek as much as you want..." the girl with twin ponytails sneered.

"what……"

At this moment, a shrill scream suddenly rang in my ears.

The girl with twin ponytails suddenly changed color, and when she looked down, she saw that the peach blossom spots between the eyebrows of the fox-headed shadow were suddenly burning, and a pool of smelly blood slowly flowed out.

"What happened? You...how are you hurt?" The girl with twin ponytails asked in surprise with her eyes wide open.

"He...he...that kid..."

The sinister voice sounded again, without the evil arrogance from before, and it revealed deep fear and weakness.

"What's up with him?"

"The authentic Xuan Sect, the Taoist Qi meridians... Is that boy from the Taoist sect?!"
