The scriptures seemed to have a magical power to bewitch people. The more Taoist Yueban read them, the more crazy he became.

After Qin Yangming called him several times, he finally came to his senses, and his red eyes gradually became clear again.

"Master Dongbin, we have almost finished our tour here, let's go back quickly."

Seeing that Taoist Yueban was determined, Qin Yangming had no choice but to walk in front of him and go to the guest hall.

As he was walking, Qin Yangming suddenly heard the footsteps behind him seemed to stop, and he looked back in confusion.

Taoist Yueban had sat down on the ground at some point, a look of horror on his face. He kept kicking the ground with his feet and crawled backwards, with his fat white hand still trembling as he pointed at Qin Yangming.

It was as if he had seen something horrifying.

Qin Yangming looked behind him. There was no ghost or anything, not even a single person. What was Taoist Yueban doing?

He took a few steps towards Taoist Yueban in confusion, trying to pull him up, but Taoist Yueban became even more frightened. He kept making sounds in his mouth but couldn't utter a word, as if something was blocking his throat.

Finally, he shouted:

"You...don't come over!"

Qin Yangming could not help but stand there, not understanding why this was happening.

Soon, some Taoists from Baiyun Temple heard the noise and came over and surrounded Qin Yangming and the other man.

"Yueban! What are you doing crazy again!"

Someone shouted.

Taoist Yueban saw that more people were coming and felt more confident. He pointed at Qin Yangming and said in a trembling voice:

"He...he has no shadow!"

"He is not human!"

When everyone looked over, they saw that although the light was dim, everyone's faint black shadows were standing under their feet. Only Qin Yangming was standing there alone, with nothing under his feet.

Everyone's expression was miserable, and they all took a step back away from Qin Yangming.

Qin Yangming thought to himself that this was not good, and that this would inevitably cause trouble in his life.

"Hey! Lao Deng, come out and save the situation!" Qin Yangming called in his heart.

"Humph! My name is not Lao Deng!"

Although she said it reluctantly, she still showed up quietly. In the blink of an eye, she disguised herself as Qin Yangming's shadow and stood at his feet.

"Eh?! Look! Isn't there a shadow over there?"

Someone was surprised and rubbed his eyes quickly, pointing at the faint and tall black shadow under Qin Yangming's feet.

"Yeah, isn't there a shadow?"

"Yueban, what are you doing again!"

There was only a pale blue light here, and the shadows were not solid at all. Everyone thought that they were seeing things.

So all the fellow disciples started to blame Taoist Yueban who was still in shock.

At this time, Taoist Yueban also stood up tremblingly, rubbing his eyes continuously.

He hadn't seen the Taoist priest along the way, so why did he suddenly appear now?

The surrounding Taoists dispersed in a hurry. Taoist Yueban kept patting his chest, stood up bravely, and continued to follow Qin Yangming back to the guest hall.

He was staring at the shadow under Qin Yangming's feet all the way.

Suddenly, he saw the shadow waving at him.

He looked up again, only to see Taoist Master Dongbin walking as usual with his hands behind his back.

The man didn't move, but the shadow was waving at him...

The poor Taoist priest Yueban's eyes went dark, and he fainted from fright...

Qin Yangming only heard a plop sound behind him. He turned around and saw that Taoist Yueban had fallen to the ground.

He looked at the slender black shadow shaking with laughter at his feet and shook his head helplessly.

"Hahaha, this little fat guy is so funny!"

A cute female voice came.

After Qin Yangming asked people to carry Taoist Yueban back like a pig, he also returned to the guest hall.

As soon as he quieted down, Qin Yangming heard her voice.

"My dear husband! I clearly have a name!"

"You didn't tell me your name either!" Qin Yangming said.

The kerosene lamp was obviously irritated, and said angrily: "My name is Yun Shang!"

Yunshang... Qin Yangming whispered it softly, and suddenly felt a fragrance on his lips and teeth.

"Lao Deng, I didn't expect your name to be so nice!"

Qin Yangming said sincerely, but he didn't expect Yun Shang to stop talking.

"Yun Shang?" Qin Yangming called out in his heart.

Yun Shang's voice suddenly became a little lonely, and she said, "My young husband, I am a little tired."

After saying that, she stopped talking and just disguised herself as Qin Yangming's shadow, lying quietly at his feet, as if she was recalling something from the past.

There was no conversation that night, only the sound of ticking accompanied Qin Yangming.

The clear blue light eternally shines on Baiyun Temple, which is always so damp and cold here, with no idea of ​​day or night, cold or heat.

Qin Yangming dozed off for a while until he heard some noise coming from outside the curtain.

He lifted the curtain and looked outside, only to see Taoists hurrying back and forth, as if they were preparing for some ceremony.

At this time, Taoist Yueban was sitting cross-legged in front of the cave with his hands in his sleeves, falling asleep. His fat head kept nodding and his snoring was loud enough to deafen the sky.

"Taoist priest Yueban! Taoist priest Yueban!"

Qin Yangming shouted, and Taoist Yueban suddenly woke up and looked up at Qin Yangming.

"Ah! Don't come over!"

He was still frightened and cried out in fear.

At this time, a Taoist priest passing by shouted to Taoist priest Yueban:

"Hey! Yueban! Don't forget what your master told you!"

Yue Ban remembered something after hearing this, and quickly stood up, brushed off the dust on his body, and said to Qin Yangming fearfully:

"Master Dongbin! Please follow me quickly."

To Yueban, the master is much more terrifying than Taoist Master Dongbin.

As he spoke, he pulled up the sleeve of Qin Yangming's Taoist robe and walked towards the Jade Emperor Hall.

After a while, the two of them arrived at the tallest and most magnificent cave in Baiyun Temple. They saw that many people were already sitting there in an orderly manner, and some were busy carrying some incense, candles, and tributes and fruits.

Incense sticks are long stone sticks, and tribute fruits are stone balls with rough surfaces.

The most eye-catching thing is the lotus platform of medium height located in the center of the Jade Emperor Hall.

A round and flat piece of bluestone serves as the base of the lotus pedestal. A circle of petal-shaped stone pieces are piled around the edge of the bluestone, which are the petals of the lotus.

Next to the "lotus platform", there is a stone cage covered by a black cloth.

Taoist Yueban took Qin Yangming to two seats and sat down. At this time, the ceremony was basically ready, and all the Taoists found their seats and sat down.

Just waiting for the protagonist of “Five Dragons Supporting the Saint”, Chongxuzi.

As soon as Qin Yangming sat down, he heard the Taoist priest next to him say arrogantly:

"I wonder if Taoist Master Dongbin has ever seen five dragons holding up a saint before?"

Qin Yangming shook his head. He had never heard of it.

The Taoist priest smiled and said:

"Haha, this is not your fault, fellow Taoist. This Five Dragons Holding the Saint is our Baiyun Temple's unique secret method of cultivation. Currently, only the temple master and the eldest brother know it."

After saying that, he suddenly lowered his voice and whispered:

"And I heard it's extremely difficult! The eldest brother has gone on a journey around the world, and the old master usually doesn't demonstrate in front of the public, so we can't even see him on weekdays!"

"So, fellow Taoist, you really caught up with this rare opportunity that only comes once in a century!"

After he finished speaking, the Taoists nearby all looked at Qin Yangming with smiles, as if they were lamenting his good fortune.

At this time, a figure in a purple Taoist robe walked into the cave leisurely. It was Chongxuzi.

When the Taoists saw the temple master coming, they all kept silent and looked solemn.

Chongxuzi was seen wearing a lotus crown and a purple Taoist robe with strands of gold lines painted on it, forming patterns of the Eight Diagrams and a golden dragon.

His appearance was solemn and dignified, and the Jade Emperor Hall was completely silent. The scene suddenly became solemn and quiet.

When Chongxuzi stepped onto the lotus platform, a Taoist priest shouted at the top of his voice:

"Please stand on both sides, good men and women!"

As he spoke, Qin Yangming saw a pale-skinned female Taoist and a pointed-faced male Taoist walk out of the crowd and stand on both sides of the lotus pedestal.

"Please take your places for incense, candles, and tributes!"

Later, Taoist priests came to the lotus platform holding stone incense and candles, and inserted them into the soil in front with great effort. In order to stabilize them, they also used their feet to press the "incense and candles" into the soil.

A Taoist priest also stacked the stone offerings into the shape of a pagoda, but it looked more like a makeshift tombstone.

"Five dragons holding up the saint, begin!"

Following a shout, everyone held their breath and looked carefully at Chongxuzi on the lotus platform.
