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

Chapter 48 Wind and Thunder Mountain (First Update! Please Read On! Please Vote!!)
The monk Liaozhen asked his master what the Buddha had specifically instructed him to do.
The monk Kurong said, "Buddha told me that the many dragon veins originating from Kunlun in the underground of the entire Dragon Kingdom have reached their peak in the last ten years after being nurtured by the earth's feng shui for thousands of years."

Dragon veins in various regions are beginning to condense Dragon Vein Dao Fruits. The next few years will be crucial in the struggle for the next century's Buddhist and Taoist fortune, depending on who can harvest more Dragon Vein Dao Fruits.

The more auspicious locations a sect occupies, the more dragon vein energy it absorbs, and the more prosperous its sect will be in the next century.

Nowadays, Buddhist sects in various regions are vying for the Dao fruits derived from dragon veins.

"Within Longhu City, Sanqing Mountain and Longhu Mountain have occupied the head of the dragon vein and the heart of the dragon for thousands of years. It is very difficult for us to get our hands on these two places."

However, Buddha has already given me a hint: there is still a dragon's lair that no one has claimed, and it rightfully belongs to our Buddhist sect. Liaozhen, come with me to take this dragon's lair.

With a sense of certainty, Zen Master Kurong walked out of the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave.

They led the monk to the place the Buddha had indicated.

Zhang Tianlu followed the underground dragon vein of Longhu City.

Along the way, we also passed several mountains known as dragon lairs.

But after all, two thousand years have passed.

Several unclaimed dragon lairs from two thousand years ago have now been discovered by other Taoist sects, and Taoist temples have been built on these mountains, establishing a Taoist lineage.

They have been preaching here for hundreds or even thousands of years.

They were all junior members of the Taoist sect.
Moreover, since others had already occupied the prime location, Zhang Tianlu couldn't very well go down and claim it as well.

After all, he is the third-generation Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain. He can't possibly take over the territory of his own juniors, can he?

Zhang Tianlu had no choice but to leave these lineages and find other auspicious sites.

"Master, it seems that all these dragon veins and treasure troves have been occupied," said the thousand-year-old golden dragon loach at Zhang Tianlu's feet.

Zhang Tianlu: "After all, two thousand years have passed. Our Taoist sect is good at observing qi and finding dragon veins. It's normal for them to be occupied. These dragon lairs are relatively easy to find. It would be strange if they weren't occupied."

Loach: "Should we just rob one?"

Zhang Tianlu: "Do you think it's appropriate for me, a Taoist patriarch, to seize the territory of a junior?"

Are adults taking ice cream from kids?
Even though he had turned into a zombie, he still had to maintain his dignity.

Loach: "Where do we go now?"

"There is another treasure land. When it was discovered two thousand years ago, I sealed it with a secret method. The dragon's lair there is quite hidden and special. It is my private reserve. Let's go."

Zhang Tianlu flew towards his private plot of land from two thousand years ago.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side, on a mountain peak called Fenglei Mountain in Longhu City.

The monk Liaozhen and Master Kurong have arrived here.

Before they arrived, they had already contacted the Buddhist Association of Longhu City. Fenglei Mountain was currently unclaimed, so they quickly applied for the necessary documents to acquire the mountain.

The plan is to build a new Buddhist temple on this mountain.

Fazhong Temple Fenglei Mountain Branch Temple.

Master Kurong and Monk Liaozhen waited at the foot of the mountain for a while before several cars drove up.

Then a group of people from the Buddhist Association got out of the car.

Upon hearing that the 97-year-old Master Kurong had emerged from seclusion, the group of people came over to make an impression.

After all, Master Kurong is one of the most outstanding figures in Buddhism today.

"Master Kurong, I have long admired your name. It is an honor to meet you!"

People from the Buddhist Association greeted Zen Master Kurong.

Zen Master Kurong nodded.

"Thank you for your help."

Then Zen Master Kurong mentioned that he wanted to build a new temple on Fenglei Mountain and asked the Buddhist Association if there were any problems with the planning bureau.

The Buddhist Association stated that they had already informed the planning bureau officials in advance.

This place has never been developed, so it's just sitting idle. It's perfectly fine to rent it out to the monks of Fazhong Temple to build a new temple.

Buddhist temples always have money, so this rent is no problem for them.

Just pay. Besides, Longhu City has been developing tourism projects in recent years, and various places are vying for cultural and tourism opportunities.

If another Buddhist temple were built on Fenglei Mountain, it would become another tourist attraction.

This will boost the local tourism GDP, so why not do it?
No problem, no problem!

So there's absolutely no problem.

Zen Master Kurong smiled with satisfaction. It was good that he had succeeded.

After all, the Dragon Vein Dao Fruit cannot be absorbed in just one or two days.

Only by occupying the dragon's lair for a long time and absorbing its essence can one completely devour the dragon vein's Dao fruit underground.

Since there were no problems with the authorities, Zen Master Kurong decided to go up the mountain to take a look.

Although Buddha told him that the mountain was a dragon's lair.

But for some reason, Zen Master Kurong did not feel any of the abundant spiritual energy that should have been present in this sacred mountain.

He had a strange feeling that this place was really a dragon's lair.

Zen Master Kurong led the monk Zhen, the monks of Fazhong Temple, and the people from the Buddhist Association to climb the mountain.

Before long, we arrived at the mountaintop.

Because it hasn't been developed yet, the mountaintop is quite barren.

At first glance, there's nothing particularly special about it.

“Master, look, there’s a tower over there.”

The monk Liaozhen was the first to discover a special place on the mountain.

There is a tower on this barren mountain.

Moreover, this tower looks very old; it's an ancient tower that's two meters tall.

It sits atop the mountain peak.

This two-meter-high ancient pagoda faces a deep valley and is majestic. Judging from its age and architectural style, it is at least two thousand years old and dates back to the Han Dynasty.

This tower is built on a huge rock on a cliff. It is constructed by carving and dry-laying granite into three sections: the base, body, and top. It has six layers and eight sides. The eaves are slightly upturned, and the top is a pyramidal shape.

It is simple and exquisite, yet gives people a very harmonious feeling.

Several Buddhist monks walked over, and Master Kurong looked at the pagoda.

The pagoda is inscribed with talismans.

The tower has eight sides, each engraved with a different talisman.

Thunder talisman, wind-avoidance talisman, evil-suppressing talisman, spirit-gathering talisman, calamity-blocking talisman...

This is a Taoist wind and thunder pagoda.

It has stood here for over two thousand years, and no one knows who built it.

Zen Master Kurong looked at the Wind and Thunder Pagoda.

His face showed displeasure.

He now understood why he couldn't sense any dragon vein energy at the foot of the mountain.

The entire Fenglei Mountain has a unique structure and shape, resembling a giant thermos. The dragon vein's spiritual energy is only released from the very top of the mountain, which is the 'mouth' where the Fenglei Tower is now located.

The Wind and Thunder Tower stands here, as if someone had put a stopper on this giant thermos.

The dragon vein's spiritual energy is difficult to flow out, so no one has discovered it for so many years, not even when the monk Kurong had already reached the foot of the mountain.

If it weren't for Buddha's guidance, he would never have gone up the mountain.

Zen Master Kurong: "Using the Wind and Thunder Pagoda to suppress the acupoint and hide the location of the treasure cave is a good method, but it's a pity it didn't work. This place now belongs to this old monk."

Zen Master Kurong handed his nine-dragon staff to his disciple, Monk Liaozhen, who was standing beside him. Then, he rolled up his robe.

He walked bare-armed to the Wind and Thunder Tower and looked at the two-meter-tall tower next to him.

Zen Master Kurong held up the pagoda, preparing to overthrow this Wind and Thunder Pagoda.

This mountain is a Buddhist mountain; how can it accommodate a Taoist pagoda?
Zen Master Kurong: I fucking overturned you!
