The Shangqing Palace in the spiritual world is a major sect that has been passed down from ancient times to the present. The Shangqing Palace stands on a sacred mountain.
This place is thousands of feet high, with a miraculous aura and abundant spiritual energy. Ordinary people can even cure diseases if they live here for a period of time. If they live here for dozens of years, they can be immune to all diseases and prolong their life.
Indeed, countless mortals climbed the sacred mountain every year, and Shangqing Palace did not drive them away. They even provided accommodation and food to those who climbed the sacred mountain, allowing them to stay for a while before sending them down the mountain.
Many people with terminal illnesses come here to climb Lingshan Mountain in order to gain a chance of survival.
Today, Shangqing Palace welcomed two special guests.
A Taoist priest wearing a plain robe and with an ordinary appearance, with no aura of mountains and rivers, just like an ordinary person. Walking among ordinary people, I am afraid no one would recognize him.
This person is the now world-famous Changsheng Taoist, who flattened Wanfo Mountain ten years ago and trampled down the flourishing Buddhist sect. Such a great reputation naturally makes people awed and admired. Fortunately, Shangqing Palace has a good relationship with Changsheng Taoist.
Eight hundred years ago, the Taoist Changsheng came to seek the method of reincarnation and the art of resurrection. Shangqing Palace did not have such magic, but only gave the sect a copy of the ancient book with relevant records.
The other guest was also quite special, a rabbit spirit. He was extremely handsome, and even the Taoists in Shangqing Palace felt pity for him, but it only lasted for a moment.
If she hadn't been traveling with the immortal, the Taoist priests of Shangqing Palace would have driven her off the mountain. They didn't hate the monsters, but they didn't like monsters either, and it was even more impossible for them to let a monster climb onto Lingshan Mountain.
The woman hid behind the Taoist priest Changsheng, looking around the Taoist temple. If it were in the past, she would not dare to come here at all, but now she is not afraid to go anywhere with the immortal.
They are not that great, just some very simple Taoist temples, not as beautiful as ordinary imperial palaces.
The current headmaster of Shangqing Palace couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Daoist, what is this monster?"
Before the Taoist Changsheng could answer, the rabbit jumped out, bowed and introduced herself, saying, "I am the Taoist's maid."
She knew that the Taoist priest did not like the distinction between superiors and inferiors, and it was impossible for him to say that she was a servant or something similar. In order to prevent the other party from shaking his head to explain, Tu'er usually had to answer first.
The reason for doing this is mainly to prevent the Taoist priest from chasing him away later. Keeping him around before was just to add a little fun, but he might get tired of it later. Rabbit is very clear that he needs a reasonable identity.
Being a maid is a very reasonable identity. You can accompany the boss and try your best to please him/her without anything unreasonable.
The Taoist Changsheng is so powerful, as long as he gets a little bit of his influence, he will be able to thrive among the human race in the future. He doesn't ask others to like him, as long as he has a relatively close identity.
Li Changsheng did not deny this. This rabbit spirit was indeed likable. He was good at both housework and cooking, good at singing and dancing, and had excellent cooking skills. Sometimes life needed a little spice.
Especially after knowing that reincarnation does not exist, he went to the Buddhist temple to vent his anger, and then he calmed down again. In the remaining years, the only goal he should have is to cultivate the Tao.
Practicing Buddhism is the goal, but it is not everything.
There is another important reason. This rabbit can be a barrier for him in certain special occasions, protecting him from harassment by some female cultivators with ill intentions. Many people would be deterred by the rabbit's appearance, which made Li Changsheng much less worried.
Especially after conquering Wanfo Mountain, more and more female cultivators with ill intentions approached him. However, after experiencing the departure of his two beloved women, Li Changsheng no longer had any thoughts in that regard.
This well-behaved rabbit is a very good shield.
Seeing this, the other Taoists of Shangqing Palace did not say much, and no one jumped out to shout that the person was colluding with a witch or something like that.
To say this to the Taoist who is now recognized as the world's number one immortal is simply to be tired of living. Not to mention the Shangqing Palace, even those sects that hate monsters very much don't dare to bring this up.
Many sects have very flexible red lines when it comes to their tolerance for monsters. As long as the opponent is strong enough, they will adopt a magnanimous attitude.
"Please come in, fellow Taoist."
Everyone walked into the meeting hall of Shangqing Palace. Although it was the leader of the Taoist sect, Shangqing Palace was very simple in terms of material. The so-called meeting hall was a little spacious, but there were only a few low tables and cushions inside.
Li Changsheng and the headmaster of Shangqing Palace sat next to each other, and the woman with peerless beauty stood half a step away, waiting quietly.
"Fellow Daoist, this time we conquered the Ten Thousand Buddha Mountains and killed countless powerful Buddhists, which also weakened the power of our human race in disguise."
As soon as the headmaster of Shangqing Palace opened his mouth, the elders around him were startled and turned to look at their headmaster in confusion.
Did the headmaster take the wrong medicine? He began to call the Taoist Changsheng to task.
Many people think that this is true. Even if Buddhism is wrong, it should not kill people in the face of the justice of the human race. After all, if the demons invaded at this time, the casualties caused to the human race would definitely be hundreds of times greater than those caused by Buddhism.
Buddhism is harmful to people, but compared with the monsters in the mountains, it is the lesser of two evils.
This is also something that cannot be helped, someone has to sacrifice. Although Shangqing Palace is the leader of the righteous path, its strength is not enough to suppress the whole world. All they can do is to go down the mountain and contribute when the troubled times come.
They cannot bring peace.
The Buddhist sect was not as skilled as others and was killed by others. In addition, no one would speak up for the bad things done by those who followed the incense and fire path. Even though they knew that the killing of immortals in the world would make foreign races ready to move, the Taoist sect did not speak out.
Moreover, Taoism is not like Buddhism where people stick together. Everyone lives their own life, and keeping a low profile is the norm.
