The Purple-Robed Celestial Master has turned into a zombie?! Who can stand that?!

Chapter 18 The Daoist Suppression Order (First Update! Requesting Recommendations and Monthly Tickets!)
Zhang Tianlu looked at the task issued by the system and set up the Eight Gates Formation to trap the old mudfish that was trying to snatch food from the tiger's mouth.

The large loach has now burrowed deep into the underwater silt; loaches dig very quickly.

If this guy wanted to run away, he could take his innate Yin essence and disappear into the vast expanse of the Dragon Kingdom. It would be extremely difficult for Zhang Tianlu to find him again.

Therefore, trapping it in this reservoir first makes it much easier to catch it like a turtle in a jar.

The system instructed him to set up the Heavenly Gang Eight Gates Formation, also known as the Heavenly Gang Eight Trigrams Formation.
The Eight Trigrams refer to: Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Kun!

It was created by our ancestor Fuxi.

The Taiping Yulan records: "Fuxi sat on a square altar, listened to the eight winds, and then drew the eight trigrams."

Zhang Tianlu stepped out with one foot, his body emanating a billowing aura of death, the black mist like thick smoke.

Standing directly above the reservoir, the zombie's fingers drew symbols in the air.

He drew black runes in the void.

These talismans condensed in the void, gathered together and not scattered, appearing very vivid and lifelike.

Zhang Tianlu used the Eight Gates Formation to insert these talismans one by one into the eight trigram positions of the reservoir.

Fuxi established the Eight Trigrams.
Using "—" as yang and "--" as yin, the eight trigrams are formed.

Qian represents Heaven, Kun represents Earth, Zhen represents Thunder, Xun represents Wind, Kan represents Water, Gen represents Mountain, Li represents Fire, and Dui represents Lake, thus categorizing the nature of all things.

The eight trigrams are divided into eight directions, with the Taiji diagram drawn in the center.

The Book of Changes (Yijing) believes that the eight trigrams mainly symbolize eight natural phenomena: heaven, earth, thunder, wind, water, fire, mountain, and marsh, which are the source code of the universe.

"Boom boom boom, boom boom boom, boom boom!!!"

Countless black talismans shot into the water like arrows.

Each of the eight trigrams is located separately.

The next second, eight beams of black light shot out from the depths of the water and soared into the sky.

A pillar of light rose into the sky.

The formation is complete.

"Congratulations, host, on completing the mission! You have set up the Heavenly Gang Eight Gates Formation and trapped the thousand-year-old demon. You will receive the following rewards: [Yin Tian Gang Thirty-Six Transformations - Overturning Rivers and Stirring Seas], [Sleeve Universe Cultivation Method], and 30000 points!"

……

While Zhang Tianlu was destroying the ghost realm, gathering yin energy, and catching loaches in the reservoir south of the city...
A notice has been issued on the official website of Longhushan.

Longhushan appealed to all fellow Daoists for help, as the tombs of their three generations of ancestors on Longhushan had been robbed.

The third-generation patriarch has been resurrected from the dead and has now escaped and disappeared, posing a great threat to the secular world. If any Taoist sect discovers the patriarch's whereabouts, they should contact Longhu Mountain and other Taoist sects to jointly hunt him down.

The news caused an instant sensation in the world of magic and spells.

The patriarch of Longhu Mountain!

And it was a corpse transformation of a third-generation ancestor?

This is a bit scary!
In a short time, Maoshan, Gezaoshan, Wudang, Quanzhen...

There are also some branches of the Zhengyi sect, such as: Shenxiao, Qingwei, Tianxin, Donghua, Jingming, Taiyi...

The place inside became lively.

Many people turn pale at the mention of it.
After all, Longhu Mountain has considerable strength.
During the late Tang and early Song dynasties, the Celestial Masters sect, the Shangqing sect, and the Lingbao sect of Taoism respectively took Longhu Mountain, Maoshan Mountain, and Gezao Mountain as their activity centers, forming the famous "Three Mountains Talismans".

These three are the Shangqing Lu of Maoshan, the Lingbao Lu of Gezaoshan, and the Zhengyi Lu of Longhushan, collectively known as the Three Schools of Talismans.

Later, the Dragon Tiger Celestial Master was rewarded for his meritorious service in warding off disasters in his descendants, and Zhang Keda was appointed as the Director of the Three Mountains Talismans and concurrently in charge of the affairs of the various temples and monasteries before the Emperor.

Longhu Mountain's status immediately surpassed that of Maoshan and Gezao Mountain.

It governs all Taoist sects and is revered as the ancestral home of Taoism.

The third-generation ancestral master of the Taoist ancestral temple was found to have undergone a corpse transformation, and Longhu Mountain also described in detail the escape process.

He managed to escape from the hands of the current generation's purple-robed Celestial Master, Xuanzhen Celestial Master, and even seems to have confiscated Xuanzhen Celestial Master's sword.

How incredibly strong does that have to be?

Among the various Daoist sects today, the most powerful are the Xuanzhen Celestial Masters of Longhu Mountain.

Those who can withstand 10 moves from Xuanzhen Tianshi are recognized as top-tier masters of magic.

The fact that this reanimated patriarch could leave openly and legitimately right under the nose of the Celestial Master Xuanzhen forced Longhu Mountain to seek help from the entire Taoist sect, issuing a Taoist encirclement and suppression order.

It's clear that even Longhu Mountain found it a challenge.

This is absolutely terrifying. Once this happened,
The story not only circulated among various religious sects, but also became a trending topic on social media.

Major social media platforms, short video platforms, and news platforms
Following the release of the screen recording of Xiaohuya's tomb raiding livestream last night...

On the internet, the topic quickly gained popularity.

It quickly climbed into the top ten trending topics.

"Holy crap, really? I heard the Celestial Master has turned into a zombie?"

"The tomb of the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain was robbed last night! Good heavens, they dare to rob any kind of tomb!"

"I just want to ask, is this zombie resurrection real or fake? Are there really zombies in this world?"

"It's true. I was there during the live broadcast yesterday and saw it clearly. That zombie was even more terrifying than the Taoist priests. More than a dozen Taoist priests couldn't subdue it!"

"I heard that the Taoist sects have issued a siege order. Once their whereabouts are discovered, all Taoist sects must bring them back. This is the only time in the past thousand years that Longhu Mountain has had to ask for help!"

"It's best to stay home as much as possible these days, and avoid walking at night. If we run into that zombie, even a god couldn't save us."

……

On some short video platforms, the platform has begun to suppress the popularity of content.

After all, this matter is a bit sensitive, and they are afraid that too much attention will cause trouble.

But the authorities soon realized they couldn't suppress it at all; the controversy was only growing, and now the discussion surrounding it is incredibly intense.

……

Outside the Chengnan Reservoir, about one kilometer away from the reservoir,
As the light of the Heavenly Gang Eight Gates Formation set up by Zhang Tianlu soared into the sky.

A monk in a yellow robe, holding eighteen prayer beads, stopped in his tracks.

The monk was in his thirties. He turned the prayer beads in his hand a few times, and they emitted a faint Buddhist light.

The evening breeze blew across his bald head.

The monk looked up at the sky in the direction of the reservoir.

He sensed the presence of zombies.

Moreover, it seems to possess the ghostly aura of a demonic realm.

Just then, the monk saw an off-road vehicle speeding towards him from the direction of the reservoir.

The car was fleeing for its life.

The monk could tell at a glance that the car also carried a trace of corpse energy and ghostly energy.

It's clear they encountered zombies and vengeful spirits from the direction of the reservoir.

So he reached out and stopped the car.

In the car, the internet celebrity who was driving was startled when she saw someone suddenly appear in front of her and block the way.

After all, he had just escaped death and survived.

In this desolate wilderness, late at night, I encountered a monk.

Could it be another ghost?

While the female driver was in a daze, she forgot to step on the brake.

By the time they came to their senses, the car had already crashed into the monk in yellow.

But what they didn't expect was that this monk in yellow robes actually had some skills.

He saw the car coming toward him without braking.

The monk remained completely calm, simply clasping his hands together in prayer.

"Amitabha!"

Then he slammed his palm on the front of the car, and his Vajra Qi erupted from his body.

Vajra Prajna Palm!
He pressed down on the front of the car with one hand, stopping it in its tracks.

The people inside the car were completely dumbfounded.

What kind of monster is this?
Is he that strong?
At that moment, the monk had already approached the car window with a smile.

He gestured for them to lower the window, as he had a few questions for them.

"Greetings, esteemed guests. May I ask which reservoir you came from?"
