Sword from the Immortal Mountain

Chapter 72: Fighting

Yun Ning was slightly startled when he saw that Chen Jin chose an ordinary sword instead of a magic sword.

In the nun's understanding, if any monk uses weapons, he will definitely choose magical instruments.

It's not just a matter of identity matching, the functions are even more different.

For example, when used against demons and monsters, ordinary weapons are unlikely to be effective.

When monks travel, most of the enemies they face are of this type.

But on second thought, Chen Jin's origins are mysterious and unfathomable. No matter what choice he makes, there must be a reason for it, which cannot be judged by common sense.

After choosing the sword, the two went out.

Yun Ning used the excuse of going up to report to his master and once again held an umbrella to send Chen Jin back to the inner courtyard before saying goodbye.

……

The next day, the rain stopped and the sky cleared up around noon.

Taoist Yuncheng received a summons from the government office, so he took his Taoist boy with him.

The county magistrate Song Wencheng hosted the party and sat in the main seat, with Ma Ben standing behind him.

On the left side, there was a man in gray sitting. Even though he was a guest, he was wearing a cloak and wrapped tightly.

Just by looking at it, Yun Cheng felt a gloomy atmosphere.

At the same time, the man in gray looked up and met his eyes.

What a pair of eyes those are!

It was pitch black, like two hollowed-out holes.

The hole was bottomless, and a faint light was visible.

The next moment, two balls of light suddenly appeared and transformed into two hideous skulls, roaring and rushing towards the Taoist!
Caught off guard, Taoist Yun Cheng did not panic. He waved his sleeves and shouted, "Hey!"

It seemed as if water vapor was emerging and wrapping around the skull that was rushing towards it.

In an instant, everything returned to normal.

The man in gray was about forty years old, with a thin face and little flesh. His eyes had more white than black, but they were not hollow.

Just looking at it can still make people feel terrified.

Ma Ben's left hand was already on the hilt of the sword at his waist, ready to draw the sword at any time.

"Jie Jie!"

The man in gray stood up and introduced himself to Taoist Yun Cheng with a fake smile: "I am Zhan Chun, the incense master of the Genshui County branch of the Ghost Spirit Sect. Nice to meet Master Yun Cheng."

Taoist Yun Cheng suppressed his anger and said, "Thank you for your courtesy."

In the encounter just now, the other party's malicious intent was not concealed at all. Even if he would not really commit a crime in front of County Magistrate Song, if the Taoist was not careful, he would definitely make a fool of himself in front of others, fall flat on his face, and lose all his face.

Song Wencheng seemed to be unaware of what was going on and said with a smile, "Master Yuncheng, please take a seat."

The Taoist sat down on the right side, became alert, and no longer looked into Zhan Chun's eyes.

This incense master of the Ghost Spirit Cult has some kind of evil magic, which is very strange. Once he invades your mind, it is difficult to get rid of it.

Song Wencheng glanced to both sides and coughed dryly: "Since both parties are here, let's talk about it on the table to avoid damaging the atmosphere. Well, Yun Cheng is the host, why don't you speak first?"

"it is good."

The Taoist responded straightforwardly and asked directly, "Master Zhan, did your ghost sect come to Genshui County to open a branch temple?"

"good."

"Then where are you going to choose the site?"

Zhan Chun said calmly: "It has not been decided yet, it is still under investigation."

Taoist Yun Cheng frowned and said, "As far as I know, you have been active in the county for quite some time. After such a long time, you still can't find the place?"

Zhan Chun grinned. "It is extremely important to build a branch temple and statues for the Divine Religion. How can we just do it half-heartedly? There are places in and around Genshui County, but unfortunately they are not suitable places."

Taoist Yun Cheng snorted coldly: "According to what you said, what kind of place is considered a good place?"

Zhan Chun said leisurely: "In such a large Genshui County, the best place is of course Yunshan."

Hearing this, the Taoist became furious: "What do you mean by this?"

Zhan Chunyi shrugged: "It's meaningless, just stating the facts, isn't it?"

Taoist Yun Cheng turned his anger into laughter: "Yunshan is a Feng Shui treasure land, but it's a pity that the famous mountain has an owner. People from outside, please don't bother about it."

Zhan Chun's eyes flickered. "When our sect members are parading the gods, they often hear the people talking about the name of Yunshan Taoist Temple. They say that the Taoist priests in the temple all have great magical powers and are very impressive." Taoist Yuncheng said calmly, "As cultivators, we help the people to perform rituals to exorcise evil spirits and kill evil spirits, so we will naturally gain people's praise."

"well said!"

Zhan Chun clapped his hands and said, "In this case, I, the incense master, would like to ask Yunshan Temple for advice on behalf of the Ghost Spirit Sect."

"You mean, you want to fight?"

"Yes. When immortals fight for the truth and for incense, it is natural that they cannot do without the word 'fighting'."

Taoist Yun Cheng was not afraid: "How are we going to fight?"

Zhan Chun replied, "Of course not today, nor in the government office. How about this, three days later, I will lead people to Yunshan to personally visit the Yunshan Monastery Master. At that time, I will also ask Lord Song to go with us to be a witness. How do you think?"

"it is good."

Taoist Yun Cheng agreed: "Three days later, I and my fellow Taoists from Yunshan Temple will be waiting for Master Zhan to visit us."

Having said this, he paused and suddenly said, "But if Xiangzhu Zhan doesn't come, and I want to look for you again, where should I find you?"

Zhan Chun said coldly: "This incense master came when he said he would, how could he go back on his word and gain wealth?"

Taoist Yun Cheng laughed and said, "That's hard to say. You guys are always evasive in your actions. You say one thing and do another."

"you!"

Zhan Chun was provoked and said, "If Yunshan Temple has the courage, it can also come to visit Evil Tiger Valley."

"Evil Tiger Valley? It's hidden deep enough, no wonder we can't find anyone there."

Yun Cheng smiled, bowed to Song Wencheng, took his leave and left, ready to return to the Taoist temple immediately.

When he walked out of the yamen, his face turned pale.

I suffered a small loss in the fight just now.

Not only that, the Taoist felt a terrifying aura from Zhan Chun, as if there was a ferocious ghost lurking there, ready to devour anyone at any time.

If we really fight, I'm no match for him.

Master's words...

But something has gone wrong with the master's practice, and it is still unknown whether he can help.

If this happens, the Taoist temple will be in big trouble.

It is obvious that there are more people than just Zhan Chun on the Ghost Spirit Cult side.

Moreover, they were well-planned and prepared, and had already made all kinds of preparations to take over Yunshan Temple.

That's why he proposed a fight without fear and gave out the address of Evil Tiger Valley.

……

He ran all the way back to the mountain, went straight to the inner courtyard, and entered the Taoist palace to pay a visit to his master.

The abbot asked him to invite Chen Jin to come and listen together.

After drinking a cup of tea and taking a short break, Taoist Yun Cheng told the whole story:
"Master, Master Chen, this is it. In three days, they will come to fight. These ghost followers are ambitious and now it seems that they want to seize Yunshan and use it as their branch altar. It's extremely abominable."

The temple master glanced at him and said, "Yun Cheng, what are you afraid of? Over the years, the Ghost Spirit Cult is not the only one that wants to seize Yunshan."

Taoist Yun Cheng hurriedly said, "Master, this time is different. I can feel that the Ghost Spirit Cult is determined to win, and has done many things under our noses. We were careless and didn't react until now."

The temple master said calmly: "When an enemy comes, we will fight him; when water comes, we will block it with earth. No matter what conspiracy or trickery there is, in the end, it all depends on ability. Master Chen, am I right?"

Chen Jin replied: "The master is right."

The abbot said to Taoist Yun Cheng, "You must be tired after all the hard work. Go back and have a good rest before you can face the battle later."

"Yes."

Yun Cheng said no more and returned to the outer courtyard.

Chen Jin also went back to the side hall room.

Time passed quickly and it was evening.

Tonight Chen Jin did not go up the mountain with the master of the temple, but went down the mountain quietly alone.

A man with a sword.

Grassroots sword.
