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

For a long time in Fan Cage, he returned to nature.

As Zhang Zhengdao walked out of the county town, he felt as if he had returned to the days when he roamed the martial arts world in the previous world, and he was in a very pleasant mood.

Halfway there, I suddenly remembered something.

He took out the purple gourd, shook it, then pulled out the stopper and shouted, "Black Armored Horse, come out!"

A wisp of green smoke emerged from the gourd's mouth, landing on the ground and transforming into a magnificent black horse that couldn't help but snort.

You finally remembered me!

The black-armored horse let out a long sigh and asked, "Daoist Master, where is my elder brother?"

Zhang Zhengdao found it difficult to answer.

The eldest brother has become the eldest sister; I wonder what kind of expression that black-armored horse has. And the world is different now, but it makes no difference to the black-armored horse.

You can make a living anywhere, as long as you follow the right people.

Zhang Zhengdao touched his head and said, "Your older brother might... be gone!"

The black-armored horse was startled and took several steps back, looking at Zhang Zhengdao warily: "You...you stewed him?"

Listen to what these words are saying.

Zhang Zhengdao retorted angrily, "Am I that kind of person? Your elder brother is also my white dragon horse, I'm going to ride him, but... he had a problem after upgrading..."

Black Armor Horse nodded. As long as it had nothing to do with the Taoist priest, he was safe for the time being.

"where are we going?"

Zhang Zhengdao looked around for a moment and said, "Let's find a secluded place to cultivate."

The black-armored horse was utterly astonished: "Immortal Master, you're already invincible, why do you still need to hide? Should I just dig a hole and bury myself in it?"

Zhang Zhengdao chuckled and said, "Those turtles have buried themselves in the mud, and I still eat them all the time."

Black Armor Horse: ...

Can't we have a proper conversation?

"No, Daoist Master, you're invincible..."

Zhang Zhengdao really wanted to pinch its mouth.

"Can't we keep a low profile? Don't you understand what kind of world this is? It's different now. We've arrived in another world. Here, gods and Buddhas fill the sky, powerful beings roam everywhere, and saints are as common as dogs."

Black Armor Horse: "Immortal Master, why don't you let me go back into the gourd?"

Zhang Zhengdao said, "Do you think you wouldn't end up as a dish on the table if some powerful demon took the gourd? Pangolins are very nutritious."

Black Armor Horse almost became depressed.

The man and his horse stood on the mountain road for a long time without moving an inch.

Finally, the black-armored horse tentatively said, "Immortal Master, you are now a deity, why not... become an official in heaven? Don't you know that the most dangerous place is the safest place?"

Zhang Zhengdao glanced at the black-armored horse.

Has the brain evolved?

Black Armor Horse felt that Zhang Zhengdao was praising him: "Look, among the demons and monsters in this world, who can defeat the Heavenly Court? Which of the great powers in this world isn't in cahoots with the Heavenly Court? Which of the saints in heaven doesn't give the Heavenly Court some face? If you were to become an official in Heaven, no matter how small the position, no one would ever come looking for trouble with you..."

What the black-armored horse said makes a lot of sense.

Zhang Zhengdao pondered: "What you said makes a lot of sense, but let's find a safe place first."

Famous mountains and rivers not only produce immortals, but also demons.

So if you're looking, just find an unknown mountain. Even if there are demons or cultivators there, you can probably handle them yourself...

Zhang Zhengdao was mainly worried that if the monkey got into trouble and was captured, it might confess and ruin him. Going to be an official in heaven? That would be like walking into a trap.

They finally stopped in Wuling County, Jingzhou.

He purchased property in Wuling County and also opened a pharmacy.

Just as Zhang Zhengdao was searching everywhere for a place to settle down, the Heavenly Court was on the verge of chaos.

Taiyi Zhenren was already covered in sweat. He had a strong sense of never giving up, which was a good thing, but the fact remained that he couldn't break the immobilization spell. In the end, he had to admit that he couldn't break it.

But he couldn't solve it; he felt that Lao Tzu could.

So Taiyi Zhenren led this group of people toward the Tushita Palace.

Laozi was refining elixirs, two boys were tending the fire, and a blue ox was being kept in an enclosure.

A large group of people came over in a grand procession.

The leading heavenly general was filled with trepidation.

This attempt to break a spell has even reached the Daoist patriarch; it's a recipe for disaster. He's going to die young. Making such a fuss, he should have just abandoned all shame and begged that wretched, damned Daoist priest when he left.

When the boy saw a group of people coming, he went over to greet them.

"Greetings, Senior Brother, Barefoot Immortal, and all Heavenly Officials."

The children had not yet descended to the mortal realm, nor had they become the Golden Horn and Silver Horn Kings. In heaven, they were still well-behaved, polite, and appeared harmless.

Is Master home?

Taiyi was originally a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, but he addressed the Three Pure Ones as his master.

The boy said, "I'll let you know. Senior brother, please wait here."

So the group of people waited, and when they looked at the two people who were sitting motionless on the ground like statues, everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of irritation.

Especially the heavenly generals.

I regret it. I shouldn't have given them three days to cause trouble.

The boy ran inside and said to Laozi, "Master, Master, something terrible has happened..."

Laozi raised an eyelid and waved his hand.

"Just say that Master is not here! He has gone traveling all over the world."

The boy went out and, seeing everyone, said, "Master said he's not here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Taiyi Zhenren shouted into the room, "Master, please come out and take a look, and save face for your disciple. I can't solve it, I really can't solve it."

Laozi wished he could slap the boy to death.

I told you to relay the message properly, are you out of your mind?! If I ever get angry, I'll banish you both to the mortal realm, where you'll never be allowed back to heaven.

"come in!"

Since we're already here, let's meet up.

Anyway, my forehead kept throbbing.

Taiyi Zhenren led a group of people, carrying two strange people into the palace. When they saw the Taoist patriarch Taishang Laojun sitting in the main hall, they quickly laid the two strange people horizontally on the ground and bowed to them.

"Greetings, Dao Ancestor!"

Lao Tzu raised his hand.

"No need for any of them."

Taiyi Zhenren hurriedly said, "Master, it's not that I can't do it, it's just that this immobilization spell seems to be empowered by the Great Dao, and I'm not strong enough to break it. Please, Master, help me out."

Laozi did not directly attempt to solve the problem, but instead looked at the heavenly general and asked, "Tell me the process."

The heavens remained silent.

"Ok?"

Laozi, puzzled, looked at the heavenly general again and said, "General, why don't you tell me how these two were immobilized? Who cast the spell?"

That day, he hesitated for a while before finally speaking: "Dao Ancestor, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but I promised that Daoist that if I revealed his secrets, I would be struck by lightning."

Upon hearing this, Laozi laughed and said, "It's alright, it's alright. I vouch for you, the heavenly lightning won't strike your head."

The heavenly general seemed somewhat puzzled.

If the Dao Ancestor had said that from the beginning, he would have confessed immediately.

but……

Even Taiyi Zhenren can't handle this now, so Daozu... Daozu can definitely handle it, but that Daoist is no pushover either. What kind of immobilization technique requires Daozu to break?

They're all formidable!

Seeing this, the Dao Ancestor knew what he was thinking and couldn't help but laugh, "Just speak. Since I said I would protect you, what are you hesitating for? Since you say you are a Daoist, you might even be from the same sect. Fellow disciples don't usually have so many grudges. Speak, speak, it's alright!"

The heavens will confirm this once again.

"Dao Ancestor, you can't be lying to me."

Laozi said, "I can't lie to you. My word is my bond."

After a fierce internal struggle, Tianjiang gritted his teeth and said, "It was one night when a Taoist priest came to the inn..."

He recounted what happened that night.

No sooner had he finished speaking than dark clouds suddenly rose in the Tushita Palace.

The heavenly general immediately panicked.

"Dao Ancestor, save me!"

Laozi would naturally save him; otherwise, what would become of his reputation if word got out?

He immediately recited the mantra, flicked his whisk, and a golden light shot towards the dark cloud, instantly enveloping it.

"boom!"

A deep, muffled sound echoed throughout the entire Tushita Palace.

Master Taiyi was greatly alarmed and cried out, "Master, you old man..."

Lao Tzu shook his head: "It's alright!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a bolt of lightning suddenly broke through the golden light and shot out from the black cloud that had been enveloped by Laozi's magic power and shrunk, heading straight for the heavenly general.

Lao Tzu shouted, "Disperse!"

"boom--"

The sky was completely blackened, but it was still struck by lightning and fell straight down.

However, after being struck, it still had a breath left and was not completely dead; it was shivering.

Laozi quickly said, "Boy, bring me my Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill."

After a pill was administered, the man stopped shivering and calmed down.
