A Tale of Encounters with Immortals: A Peach Blossom Temple in the Martial World

The spider demon wanted to suck out some fluid, but she didn't dare say what kind of fluid it was; even demons have their pride.

And so, on a dark and windy night...

A group of fairies came over.

The Taoist temple was surrounded.

The black tiger spirit repeatedly asked the water snake spirit who was gathering information, "Are you sure that woman isn't in the Taoist temple, and that only that Taoist priest is there? Don't try to fool me."

The water snake spirit said smugly, "I've sneaked in and checked three times already, it's definitely true."

The Black Tiger Demon laughed loudly, raised his large cleaver, and shouted, "Brothers and sisters, minions, follow me and charge in!" With that, he was the first to jump out and rush into the Taoist temple.

The nine brothers and sisters behind them, along with a group of reptiles and wild beasts, all roared and rushed into the Taoist temple.

As soon as I rushed into the main hall, I saw the Taoist priest sitting on a futon, facing them, his eyes wide open, bright and piercing, revealing an excited expression.

"You are here!"

That one sentence startled the black tiger demon charging at the front, bringing it to a sudden stop. The demons behind couldn't stop in time and all pounced on the black tiger demon's back...

So the fairies piled up like a human pyramid, and then they crashed into each other and fell apart.

Zhang Zhengdao: ...

This is a bunch of clowns.

After everyone finally managed to get up, the black tiger spirit roared, "Can't you guys hold back a little?"

The spider demon cried out indignantly, "I couldn't stop even with all eight of my legs!"

The black tiger spirit roared, "And you still have the nerve to say that? You couldn't stop with eight legs, but I managed to stop with just two..."

The wild boar spirit said cautiously, "Brother, don't we all have four legs?"

The black tiger spirit poked the pig's nose and said in a sinister tone, "I said two legs, and I mean two legs..."

Wild Boar Demon: ...

……

Zhang Zhengdao was stunned. What the hell? A bunch of demons are putting on a comedy show here!

"Um... excuse me, fairies, what do you want to rob?"

Seeing the commotion in the main hall, Zhang Zhengdao decided to break their conversation and ease the tension among the fairies, so he took the initiative to ask.

As soon as Zhang Zhengdao spoke, the noise stopped abruptly.

All the fairies looked at Zhang Zhengdao.

The black tiger spirit exclaimed in surprise, "You didn't run away!"

Zhang Zhengdao was also surprised: "Why should I run?"

The black tiger spirit felt that Zhang Zhengdao was looking down on it, so it rolled on the ground and revealed its true form: a ferocious and huge black tiger, which was five zhang long and three zhang tall.

It's almost touching the roof of the main hall.

"Ow—"

The black tiger spirit roared at Zhang Zhengdao.

The voice was deep but penetrating, and a gust of wind swept through the hall, carrying a foul stench towards Zhang Zhengdao.

"Scared now?" the spider demon giggled.

The fox spirit was a little scared: "Big brother... your shout might attract that girl over, right? Keep it down, keep it down, don't make such a loud noise."

The Black Tiger Spirit thought about it and realized it made sense.

“Um… Taoist priest, please step aside. We’re not doing anything else, just seeking the Tao and asking about immortality. We want to take a look at the cultivation methods in the Taoist temple, so as long as you don’t cause trouble, we’ll let you go.”

The Black Tiger Spirit thought for a moment and then said.

Zhang Zhengdao was stunned, completely bewildered.

Wait, what's going on? The fairies have stopped eating people and started being good students?

"Um...you guys didn't come here to eat me?"

Zhang Zhengdao could no longer hold back and decided to ask the question that had been nagging at him. He had always felt that these demons had rushed in because they wanted to eat him while the old Taoist priest Zhang Lingxian was away.

Goblins don't eat people?

Haha, it's like saying Guo Degang has stopped performing crosstalk. Isn't that just lying?

The black tiger spirit laughed as if it had heard a great joke, and couldn't help but laugh twice. It said to Zhang Zhengdao, "Taoist, don't you know how much meat you have? If we, so many animals, were to eat you, do you think each of us could get even an ounce of meat?"

The wild boar spirit nodded: "That's right. We went to great lengths, holding meetings and plotting, do you think we'd be short of a piece or two of your meat? When will we ever be unable to eat a piece or two of meat?"

Hehe, is this even human language?

That seems to make sense!

Zhang Zhengdao scratched his head, then tentatively said, "You really aren't going to eat me? This is the last time I'm asking, you can't regret it now."

"Got it, brothers, charge!"

The Black Tiger Spirit didn't want to waste any more words, fearing that if that woman returned, things might go awry. Without another word, he led the way and rushed into the main hall.

Zhang Zhengdao watched as the group of demons whizzed past him.

A gust of wind blew, making my hair stand on end.

Just as one gust of wind swept by, another gust swept back.

The black tiger spirit reappeared before Zhang Zhengdao, asking fiercely, "Taoist, I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself. Where is the Scripture Pavilion?"

Zhang Zhengdao asked in surprise, "I haven't committed a crime, how can I atone for it?"

Black Tiger Spirit: "Who said you haven't committed any crimes... It seems so. I'll give you a chance to join me. Where is the Scripture Pavilion?"

Zhang Zhengdao said, "I can't tell you. If I do, it'll be like I've submitted to you. I don't want to be a demon. I'm human."

Black Tiger Spirit: ...

Could it be a bitch?

The black tiger demon grabbed Zhang Zhengdao by the collar and roared, "Tell me, where is the Scripture Pavilion?"

Zhang Zhengdao: "Your Majesty, there is no library for scriptures."

The black tiger spirit roared again, "Where is that scripture?"

Zhang Zhengdao pointed to the pavilion in the side hall and said, "They're all in the pavilion..."

Before the words were even finished, the black tiger spirit transformed into a gust of wind and swept towards the pavilion in the side hall. A group of demons followed the black tiger spirit and rushed away.

Some of the underlings who hadn't yet taken human form also planned to go along.

Zhang Zhengdao advised, "Can't you go? Can't you even read?"

The group of little demons were dumbfounded.

What is this Taoist priest going to do?

We're the fairies' underlings, so do the fairies' underlings need to be literate? If we needed to be literate, what kind of fairies would we be? Regardless of Zhang Zhengdao, everyone desperately squeezed into the attic.

There were too many people, and the attic was too small, so we saw that the attic was filled with animals crowding around it.

"Squeak!"

Suddenly, there was a sound from the attic.

But the fairies didn't notice; instead, they were overjoyed to see so many scriptures in the attic. The Black Tiger Demon was going to carefully select them, but the other fairies didn't care and took any book they saw.

A little demon rushed up, grabbed a book, and stuffed it into its mouth.

It doesn't taste good either!

What is everyone scrambling for?!

The black tiger spirit snatched the half-eaten scripture from its hand and cursed, "Fool, fool, utterly stupid! Scriptures are for eating! They're for stealing... they're for reading!"

"Crunch, crunch"

A few more panting sounds came from the attic.

Hearing this, the wild boar spirit quickly shouted amidst the noise, "Attic, attic..."

attic:……

"boom--"

With a loud crash, the wooden attic finally gave way and collapsed.

Suddenly, dust billowed up, and a group of fairies, large and small, were buried under the collapsed pavilion. They cried out in pain.

Zhang Zhengdao was speechless.

Is this something a bunch of demons would do? If you didn't know better, you'd really think they were a bunch of idiots.

"Bah bah bah!"

The Black Tiger Demon was the first to crawl out of the smoke and dust, spitting out the grime from his mouth. He still clutched the Basic Daoist Scripture tightly in his hand, then looked around and roared at the people around him, "Look, look! I told you not to all push your way up! Now look what happened… you're all finished! Get out of here…"

A little demon muttered under his breath, "It's that Taoist priest who's stopping us from going up, not you, Your Majesty... Ah—"

Before he could finish speaking, he was slapped away by the Black Tiger Demon. His figure streaked across the sky and disappeared without a trace.

"I got it..."

A small mantis monster let out a strange, cacophony of laughter and held a Taoist scripture high in the air.

"Give me!"

The hawk spirit flapped its wings, flew up, and snatched the scripture away.

The mantis demon plopped down on the ground, howling twice, but dared not resist. The hawk demon could peck him at any moment.

The black tiger spirit touched the dozen or so scriptures in its arms, and when it felt satisfied, it shouted.

"stop!"

So all the demons stopped and looked at the Black Tiger Demon together.

"Now that we've succeeded, all that's left is to demolish this Taoist temple so that when that old Taoist priest comes back, he'll have nowhere to stay and nowhere to sleep, and that way he won't stay in our Qingcheng Mountain."

"Yes, yes, tear down the Taoist temple!"

All the fairies shouted in unison.

This time, they must work together. In order to no longer be suppressed by the old Taoist priest, they must unleash their true nature, cultivate immortality, and become true demons of the Tao.
