towards Ke and another young Taoist, Dunru looked upon the old Taoist as if facing a great enemy, his vigilance at its peak.
Wu Jinluan and the others had similar expressions, looking incredibly solemn.
Only Mao San's expression remained unchanged, although he carefully examined the androgynous Taoist image.
I kept my peripheral vision on the palace exterior, careful to prevent any other unforeseen dangers or incidents.
"This... I, an old man, do not recognize the elder. However... I am familiar with Four Regulations Mountain."
"The old man Hu has said that Mount Four Regulations will come one day." The Taoist's words made the expressions of the few of us tense.
This corresponds to what Han Jin had said earlier, Grandfather Hu?!
It was the same group of people who led them into a cave and told them that their ancestral Grandfather Hu was inside. Han Jin and the White family had been overly proud, so they were on guard, which led to the incident!
Indeed, the old saying that "jiang is still the old and bitter," these few people did not show anything, the teacher has not found out the problem, Han Jin found the abnormity!
"Years ago, the Jiuding Mountain was occupied by a group of outsiders who had fled from Jiuding Iron Monastery. On the surface, they claimed to be distributing relief supplies to the people, but in secret, they were engaging in the despicable act of demanding tributes and killing. Back then, amidst the chaos of war, many Taoists from Iron Monastery had descended from the mountain to jointly resist external enemies and had no time to deal with this place."
"And the outsiders are even more reckless in gobbling up lives to strengthen themselves. This is a major problem for this region, where disaster-stricken people regard them as living gods, causing their temples to be prosperous."
"The Nine-Pinnacle Iron Cap Temple was too weak to deal with them at the time."
"Little did we know that a sect from the south suddenly appeared and directly attacked the mountain gate of the outsiders' Taoist establishment in Jiuding Mountain. They completed their mission smoothly, piercing through the evil paths, deep into the cave temple, and severely wounding their ancestor. It was only after that that the Nine-Pinnacle Iron Cap Temple could clean up its house. However, since then, Four Regulations Mountain has never come back here, and during these chaotic times, the Nine-Pinnacle Iron Cap Temple has also not visited Four Regulations Mountain."
"Only let the Taoists who were in charge of cultivating the Hu family's lineage come to Jiuding Mountain to establish a Yuanxian Daoist Temple."
"Grandfather Hu had said long ago that Four Regulations Mountain would come back here again. They want to take back the remains of their disciples who died here and return them to their roots."
The old Taoist's words contained too much information.
Not only did he reiterate the things Han Jin had said, but he also expressed their reverence for Mount Four Regulations, and explained the origins of the group of people who had previously arrived, as well as... his own origins! The origins of this Yuanxian Daoist Temple!
"In Shengjing, Heishui, and Jianglin provinces, the worship of Wu Man's art is widespread, involving the nurturing of immortals and borrowing the abilities of land immortals. Some even study a mixture of folk Taoist arts, combining them to form a strange sect, the Nine-Pinnacle Iron Monastery. I had heard its reputation but did not know it possessed such abilities. A traitor could even seriously wound three immortals in one lineage."
Mao San opened his mouth, clarifying some information and asking the old Taoist some questions.
This is implying that the old Taoist might not have any issues.
At this moment, Han Jin did not say much. With a glance at the Taoist image, he kept his cool face.
"The old Taoist sighed, saying, 'Please note that the North and South have different understandings of strength classification. Those who defected in the past, besides their own evil thoughts, were also influenced by the witchcraft of the Five Elements old immortals."
"The white-eyed wolf from back then had power that could match two black old ladies. He felt that the Nine-Pinnacle Iron Monastery didn't give him a seat of equal rank with the Black Old Lady, so he simply led a group of people to set up a new sect."
For these kinds of information, I am even more confused.
I know about the spirit mediums and the inner five elements. The nine-row system also used their bones and skin to make a lot of magical artifacts through their Yin acceptance technique.
Yes, "white-eyed wolf" refers to a wolf in Taoist mythology. It is often used metaphorically to describe someone who is cunning, deceitful, and untrustworthy.
