Ma Jiamen: I was forced to fight for supremacy

Ma Zhan's words made Yun Zhaiyue's face turn as dark as the bottom of a pot.

'I thought that even the county governor would give me some face as a member of the Yun family, but I was teased by this brat.

If this happened at the Qionghua Art Museum, I would have skinned you alive.'

In order to establish his image as the master of Yun family, Yun Zhaiyue waved his long sleeves and turned to leave the purple bamboo forest.

Ma Zhan's actions angered everyone, and the Confucian scholars of Penglai Academy glared at him.

"This little bastard spoke rudely to Mr. Yun. This Purple Bamboo Forest will be your burial place."

Behind the wall of Confucian scholars, a young man with a jade crown on his head and a paper fan in his hand sat there casually, paying attention to everything on the scene.

Just when Ma Zhan was about to be beaten, he looked at the old servant beside him.

"Uncle Tian, rescue this kid later."

The old servant respectfully came to the side of the young master and whispered.

"Don't worry, sir. With Ma Zhongtong here, no one can hurt him."

"Oh? Uncle Tian, you can't do it either?"

"No!"

The young master was surprised that Uncle Tian answered so decisively, because Uncle Tian was the best assassin among his own servants.

It is much more difficult to protect the people he targets than to kill him.

Just how terrifying is the level of Ma Zhongtong's cultivation?

After Ma Zhanqi left Yun Zhaiyue, he felt a chill on his back.

Several of Yun Zhaiyue's fanatical pursuers have already shown murderous intent.

Ma Zhan was speechless, "What's the point? Has no one ever thought of marrying Yun Zhaiyue as a concubine, Lord Yanzhao?"

"Little kid from the Ma family, I think you have a destiny with the immortals. Come with your second master and follow the old Taoist to Penglai Temple for a chat.

"Wu Laodao's words instantly dissipated more than a dozen murderous gazes.

"This is to save himself. Ma Zhan sees that Wu Laodao and Ma Zhongtong have a close relationship."

Ma Zhan bowed to Taoist Wu as a junior and spoke respectfully.

"Okay, Master Wu, can you please let me eat my fill before I go?"

'I haven't even eaten enough, how can I have the energy to climb the mountain?

Besides, how can the food in your Taoist temple compare to this banquet?

Taoist Wu complained in his heart, "He's a foodie. If he becomes my apprentice, he will eat me into poverty."

But he smiled and said, "Little baby, eat slowly, no hurry, no hurry."

Wu Laodao's words calmed the Confucian scholars down.

Although she didn't know the identity of this kid, she was definitely a member of the Ma family, and was a junior of Ma Zhongtong.

He attacked his juniors in front of Ma Zhongtong, and he didn't know how many lives he had left.

Taoist Wu's words not only saved Ma Zhan, but also saved the Confucian scholars present.

The Confucian scholars knew that it was impossible to move Ma Zhan, and since the Yun family had left, there was no point in staying here any longer, so they all left the Purple Bamboo Forest.

After the banquet, Ma Zhongtong apologized to Jia Shiliu and went to Penglai Temple first.

Taoist Wu led the way, and the group walked up the mountain along a simple path.

It is indeed a world-famous fairy mountain. Green pines and cypresses stand by the roadside, clouds and mist linger, and magical beasts of all sizes roam through the forest.

There are caves and small houses everywhere, where Taoists practice meditation.

Ma Zhan walked along the Penglai mountain road, greedily breathing in every breath of fresh air.

No wonder so many people practice Taoism here. Even if they find a thatched hut here to sleep every day, they are inspired by the beautiful mountains and rivers and become spiritual.

Although the scenery of Laoshan is also good, compared with Penglai Mountain, it lacks much spiritual energy and is more desolate.

——Penglai Temple, a Taoist temple that has long been hidden in the sea of clouds. It is also the place where Taoist Wu practiced Taoism.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the Taoist temple, Taoist Wu stopped Ma Zhan.

"Little kid, I just saved your life. As a reward for saving your life, please write a poem for me to listen to."

'Damn, you old man, you don't look like an immortal at all.

Looking at your corrupt belly, I really suspect that you are a calculating and corrupt official who has come here to seek refuge.

Plot against me and make me write poetry.

I am a warrior, not a poet.'

"Did I ask you to save me just now? With my Second Master here, those poor, pedantic scholars are nothing but a pile of meat."

“No matter how powerful Ma Lao Er is, it was me, the Taoist priest, who saved you at that time.

I don't care, come on, write a poem for this Penglai Temple."

Ma Zhan was also impressed by the scoundrel appearance of Wu Laodao. "Is this the Taoist leader of Penglai Fairy Mountain?"

"Do, do, do. Let me think about it."

Among the three hundred Tang poems, which one is about Taoism?

I don't think I've ever memorized similar topics in school. I'm really impressed.'

Ma Zhan racked his brains but couldn't find a suitable one, so he took the tiger stick and rhythmically knocked on the stone wall, trying to knock out the poems deep in his memory.

Taoist Wu thought Ma Zhan was causing trouble, so he said.

"Stop knocking! If you break it, I'll have to search the whole mountain for a suitable stone."

Ma Zhan curled his lips in boredom and knocked a little harder.

'I'll knock and make you look for stones all over the mountain, and tire you to death.

Wait a minute, Mt.

You can write about mountains. There were so many poems about mountains when I was in school.

Got it~.'

"Looking from the side, a mountain becomes a peak; looking from the front, it looks different in height and distance.

I don’t know the true face of Penglai, because I am in this mountain.

After listening to Ma Zhan reciting the poem, Taoist Wu was stunned for a moment, and then began to mutter.

"I cannot see the true face of Penglai, because I am in this mountain... because I am in this mountain...

Hahahaha… I’m right, I’m right…”

Immediately afterwards, Taoist Wu's entire temperament changed. His hair and beard fluttered as he slowly rose into the air, and golden light emerged from his body from time to time.

This operation confused Ma Zhan. "What's going on? Is this old Taoist going to ascend to heaven? Is my poem so powerful?"

——Taoist Wu, whose Taoist name is Nian Shengzi, means eternal life in one thought.

Taoist Wu was accepted as a disciple by the old abbot of Penglai Temple since he was young. He was smart and clever when he was young, and he could remember all the scriptures he had read.

The old abbot saw that he had a strong affinity with immortality, so he focused on training him.

Unexpectedly, after Wu Laodao turned thirty, his behavior became increasingly strange.

Taoists are also considered monks, and they must also abide by the precepts and rules.

When Taoist Wu was thirty years old, he began to oppose some of the Taoist doctrines.

Coincidentally, the first time Wu Laodao came down the mountain, he met Ma Zhongtong who was traveling around the world for the first time.

The second master of the Ma family had seen and experienced this before. Since the Taoist priest wanted to go down the mountain to seek the way, there was no reason not to help him.

From then on, under the leadership of Ma Zhongtong, Taoist Wu began to frequent brothels, wine shops, and gambling houses.

When the two men were happy, they would hunt down the notorious villains in the world. When they were unhappy, they would strangle the bandits who occupied the mountains and acted like kings.

This hero and his team almost disrupted the entire Green Forest Road on Dongshan Road.

I don't know if Taoist Wu has found the way, but his alcohol tolerance has improved a lot, and he can recite obscene songs and lyrics at will.

After wandering around the world with Ma Zhongtong for several years, Taoist Wu received news that his master was about to ascend to heaven.

So, Taoist Wu rushed back to Penglai Temple without stopping.

Taoist Wu saw his master for the last time, and after handing the temple master's order to him, he passed away.
