Inside the hall were statues of divine soldiers and generals. A middle-aged Taoist priest with black hair and white temples was sitting cross-legged on a cushion with his eyes closed, resting.
"Master, several guests have arrived."
The Taoist priest slowly opened his eyes, and Qin Yuesheng only then noticed that this person's eyes were one black and one white, with no white in the black eye and no black in the white eye. It was really strange.
"I am Huang Ting, and I am honored to meet you gentlemen." The middle-aged Taoist priest stood up and said.
"Master Huang Ting, I'm here to disturb your quiet cultivation today. I mainly want to ask you a few questions. I hope you can answer them seriously. Once I get the answers I want, I will leave."
Huang Ting nodded: "Please ask, sir."
"How much do you know about the seal hidden in Qingyang City?"
"I didn't expect that the adults would be interested in this." Huang Ting glanced at the Taoist Qingshui who had just led the way for Qin Yuesheng and the others: "Go and ask the disciples to bring some cushions over. We can't let the adults stand all the time."
"yes."
Qin Yuesheng began to observe the situation around him. In addition to the three largest statues of divine soldiers and generals enshrined in the central area of this hall, there were also many statues of gods placed in the corners. However, they were only the size of washbasins, but the workmanship was very exquisite.
Soon, little Taoist boys came in with cushions and gave one to Qin Yuesheng and others.
No one refused, they took the cushions and sat down.
"Master Zuo, how much do you know about the seal in Qingyang City?"
"It's because I don't know anything that I came to ask you, Master."
Huang Ting smiled and said, "Originally, my Xiqi Mountain Temple was planning to resist it alone. Now that the Master knows about this, I have nothing to hide. If it is the Master, perhaps we can lend a helping hand to Qingyang City this time."
Zuo Zonghao asked, "Why?"
"Hundreds of years ago, when our Xiqi Mountain Temple was still the Huanglin Dao Sect, we were stationed here and suppressed and eliminated many sneaky and evil people. Some of them we couldn't eliminate, so we sealed them in various ways. Over time, the area around the Huanglin Dao Sect became a prison of thousands of ghosts."
Qin Yuesheng was shocked. So, could it be that the empress who was imprisoned in the white porcelain screen was the work of this Huanglin Taoist Sect?
"This reputation has also brought a lot of trouble. Back then, a group of great ghost lords came here and wanted to release all the imprisoned ghosts and monsters, causing chaos in the world and devastating the lives of all people.
Our Huanglin Dao Sect would never allow such a thing to happen, so we mobilized all our strength to fight those ghost lords to death. In the end, at a heavy price, we defeated the physical bodies of thirteen great ghost lords and sealed their heads under the earth. However, the strength of the Huanglin Dao Sect at this time was not as strong as before.
To prevent any enemies from seeking revenge, we hid our identities, changed our names, and settled here as Xiqi Mountain Temple. This was so we could keep watch over the seal from outside forces, preventing it from being broken and the great ghosts from ever coming to light and causing harm to the world."
Zuo Zonghao thought for a moment, then said, "What is the Great Ghost Lord?"
"A kind of existence more powerful than sneaky monsters. They feed on humans and use human terror and death as a source of cultivation."
Zuo Zonghao then described the situation of the strange guest to Huang Ting, wanting to ask Huang Ting what the strange guest was and whether it had any connection with the Great Ghost Lord.
Since Huanglin Dao Zong during the Mi Dynasty was the predecessor of Xiqi Mountain Temple, there must be a lot of secret information here that the Seven Star Supervisor is unaware of.
You should know that after the Mi Dynasty, there was the Yong Dynasty founded by Yuwen Fenghua using the imperial seal, and after the Yong Dynasty was the current Tang Dynasty. The Seven Star Supervisor was an institution established by Taizu when the Tang Dynasty was founded. Its total history is only two or three hundred years. In terms of inheritance, it cannot compare with large relics such as the Xiqishan Temple.
"My Lord, the strangers you mentioned are called 'ghost tribe' here."
"Ghost tribe?" Zuo Zonghao asked, "Where do they live? Are there many of them?"
"The ghost clan has always had a mysterious origin, and they come in all shapes and sizes, with varying abilities. Some are born with extra arms and legs, some can deceive ordinary people, and some are skilled in disguise. In short, they are all very difficult to deal with. The Great Ghost Lord should be considered a member of the ghost clan."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qin Yuesheng suddenly spoke up, "Master, yesterday I killed a bunch of strangers in Hanshan Temple. They all had animal heads and human bodies. Some could fly, some could roar, and some could spray poison mist and roar. Could they be coming for the seal in Qingyang City?"
In an instant, everyone's eyes were on Qin Yuesheng.
Bai Hao asked curiously, "Why didn't you come and tell me about this kind of thing you did?"
"I was injured in yesterday's battle, so I thought I'd go to the yamen today to report to you, sir."
