Chapter 17 Demon-Conquering Hall

The little Taoist priest was a female crowned woman. She was neatly dressed in Taoist robes, and she was also clean. She didn't hold any dust or carry a sword. She just stood in the middle of the road with a pair of small snow-white hands behind her back.

The little Taoist priest looked at Zhao Tong curiously. Zhao Tong was riding in front of him. The horse Zhaoye Jade Lion was taller, so the little Taoist priest could only look up. His eyes were curved into a crescent shape, which was very beautiful.

Zhao Tao brought a command of the Dragon Guard Army out of Beijing this time. The actual number should be 900. However, firstly because of the lack of horses, and secondly because the Forbidden Army was severely underpaid, this commander actually only had three people.

There are more than 400 people, less than half of the establishment. Counting the personal guards and handymen, there are about 500 people.

The little Taoist priest stared at Zhao Tao, and the commander of the Long Guard Army couldn't help but said: "But Taoist from Shangqing Palace? You are so rude!"

Although the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army is corrupt, the Longwei is the fourth army. Regardless of whether it can fight or not, its momentum is always very good.

The little Taoist priest was relieved by this shout, but he did not pay attention to the military commander, but said to Zhao Tong: "Excuse me, are you coming from the capital?"

Zhao Tong smiled and signaled the army commander to stop making noise, and said: "It is King Zhao Tong of Qi who came from Tokyo and wants to go up the mountain to worship the Heavenly Lord and pray for blessings."

The little Taoist priest nodded and said, "My name is Zhang Miaojie. If you want to go up the mountain, you can come with me."

Zhao Tong said: "How does the little Taoist master know where I come from?"

"Eunuch?" Zhao Tong knew that this was what the local dialect meant. He thought for a moment and said, "But Zhang Tianshi?"

There is also water leaking under the steps, and the courtyard behind the wall is surrounded by beautiful mountains. Cranes grow on the red tops, and turtles have green hair. There are fruit apes on the treetops, and white deer are held in the sedge. On the Sanqing Hall, Taoist priests are walking on the golden bell.

Virtual; in front of the Four Saints Hall, real people are beating jade chimes to perform a ritual ceremony. The incense offering platform is built, and the colorful rays of light shine on the green glass; the Yao altar is summoned, and the shadow of the red sun shakes the red agate.

In fact, he didn't really believe in these things, but since it was Water Margin, he had to verify it before he felt at ease.

Zhang Miaojie said: "I don't know either. The sky master is wandering in the clouds and the wild crane is hard to find. Sometimes it will appear. If you look for it deliberately, it will disappear."

Standing in front of the palace, Zhao Tong looked carefully and saw that it was a good Shangqing Palace, but he saw:

The green pines are buckling, and the green cypresses are dense. The door hangs a golden book on the forehead, and the household lists the spiritual talismans and jade seals. Next to the Xuhuang altar, there are faintly weeping willows and famous flowers; beside the medicine refining furnace, there are green pines and old junipers.

Zhao Tong was delighted, knowing that Zhang Miaojie was indeed of Zhang Tianshi's lineage, but he didn't know what relationship he had with the contemporary Tianshi.

Zhang Miaojie blinked her eyes and said: "How can a woman be a heavenly master? It turns out that you, my lord, are Ye Gong and a good dragon. You only know a little about it and don't understand our Longhu Mountain at all!"

Zhao Tong said: "Then I'll have Little Taoist Lao lead the way."

Zhang Miaojie shook her head and said, "I'm just a little Taoist boy, not a real person."

He said: "Little Taoist Master Miaojie is waiting here specially?"

Zhang Miaojie said slyly: "My lord, you are overthinking this. I just happened to meet you when I returned to the mountain. Do you think I have a clever plan?"

Seeing her lively spirit, Zhao Tong couldn't help teasing her: "Since your surname is Zhang, you are naturally of the Celestial Master lineage, so you can be considered a little Celestial Master."

Zhang Miaojie ushered a few people in, immediately notified the Taoist attendants, and attracted the Taoist priests who presided over the real people's halls to greet them.

Seeing that she agreed, Zhao Tong thought that the sooner the better, so he said, "How about going now?"

Zhao Tong looked back and saw that it was easy to say that the carriage and horse baggage were indeed too heavy to continue on the journey. After thinking about it, he gave the order and only took seven or two of Lei Sanhong with him, while the others stayed at the foot of the mountain to pitch tents.

Zhao Tong was silent. He insisted on coming to Longhu Mountain because of the incident of Lieutenant Hong accidentally getting away with the demon. He wanted to see if there was really magic in this world. After all, he had a lot to do in the future.

Be prepared in your mind.

The little Taoist priest hurriedly covered his face and said, "I accidentally let it slip. You just pretended you didn't hear it."

The three of them followed the little Taoist priest up the mountain. They chatted on the road with Zhao Tong: "Is the Heavenly Master on the mountain?"

Zhang Miaojie was not surprised, and just said: "My father-in-law told me before that if anyone goes up the mountain and wants to see the Demon Subduing Palace, just let him see it, but there is nothing good to see in it right now."

The little Taoist priest said: "Just call me by my name. There are too many of you, including cars and horses. They all go up the mountain and have nowhere to put them."

The little Taoist priest smiled and said: "Look at the flag statue and such a big scene, it is not a battle for ordinary officials."

Zhao Tong shook his head: "So you are Zhang Tianshi's granddaughter. How could you not have heard these words? I asked why you can walk freely in this palace. It turns out there is this reason."

Zhang Miaojie raised her head and showed her small face: "When do you want to go see it?"

Zhao Tong's original intention was to meet this Heavenly Master Zhang. After all, this Heavenly Master is still in charge of Longhu Mountain since the Renzong Dynasty. When Hong Taiwei came, the Heavenly Master looked like a young man. He must be in his sixties now, but listen to Xiao

The Taoist priest's intention is not easy to meet.

After greeting each other, they all went to the Sanqing Hall. After offering incense, Zhao Tong asked, "Where is the Heavenly Master today?"

Zhao Tong smiled and said: "It is said that Longhu Mountain has powerful magic and is revered by the Heavenly Master. Needless to say, all the real people also have extraordinary means. The prediction may not be untrue!"

Hearing this, Zhao Tong glanced at his little girl, Zhang Miaojie, and nodded. Whether he was really not here or didn't want to see her, this was not a forced matter.

The real host reported forward: "So that the prince can know that the founder of this generation is called Heavenly Master Xu Jing. He has a noble nature and is tired of greeting and seeing off. He does not live in the palace and does not host. He usually lives in the thatched hut on the top of Longhu Mountain.

, I am cultivating myself, but I suddenly left a message the day before yesterday that I wanted to travel to the East China Sea, and I may have been away for a long time."

Not long after, the four people arrived in front of the Shangqing Palace. Since they were not announcing the order or discussing it in advance, there was no guard of honor in the palace. Zhao Tong didn't care. He went up the mountain and became more and more low-key.

good.

Zhang Miaojie lowered her head and said nothing. Zhao Tong didn't know what she was thinking. He was silent for a moment and said, "Master Miaojie, can you take me to the Demon-Conquering Hall?"

"It's really a good thing!" Zhao Tong couldn't help but praise.

Immediately, he went to another tea house to make offerings. After the meal, he dismissed the serving Taoist boys and asked Zhang Miaojie where he went to the Demon Subduing Hall.

Zhang Miaojie agreed, and Zhao Tong took only Hong Qi and followed her out of the Taoist room.

The Shangqing Palace is vast and vast. The little girl Guan Zhang Miaojie in front leads the way. Along the way, the Sanqing Hall, Jiutian Hall, Ziwei Hall, and Arctic Hall are all solemn and sacred. There are also Taiyi Hall, Sanguan Hall, Exorcism Hall, etc.

After walking to the back of the right corridor, Zhao Tuo looked at another palace, with red mud walls and two vermilion doors on the front. The doors were wrapped with thick iron chains, but there was no lock.

, there are more than a dozen covers affixed to the cross, and the covers are overlapping with red seals. However, this cover has already been extremely mottled, and even has an edge, as if it will fall off if it is touched.

Looking up, there is a vermilion lacquered gold medallion in front of the eaves, with four gold characters written on it, which is the "Palace of Conquering Demons".
