Yuzhou Prefecture, seven hundred miles south of Yanliu City, is located on the Cui Mountain.
The eaves and rafters are decorated with emerald carvings and painted buildings, and the jade steps and bright corridors are surrounded by clear clouds.
Although it is not as majestic as the fairy mountains of Penglai, it is also a small palace on earth.
This is the Jingcui Mountain, a blessed place and holy land in the south of the Yangtze River. The Wanshou Palace is located on this mountain.
The master of Wanshou Palace, Master Mingqing, sat quietly in the Wanshou Hall, with a group of disciples from Wanshou Palace behind him.
"Master!" The Xuanxian Realm's senior disciple knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Please leave!"
The disciples behind the eldest disciple also pleaded, "Master, please leave quickly!"
But Master Mingqing remained indifferent, which made the disciples very anxious.
The eldest disciple said, "Master, that Master Hongqing wiped out the entire clan of the Chaohu Dragon King. He is ruthless and merciless. If you don't leave now, he will definitely hold you accountable!"
"Yes, Master, how can you give up these hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation just because of Xiao Yun?"
All the disciples tried to persuade him, but Master Mingqing remained silent and did not respond at all.
Just when the disciples were getting extremely anxious, a Yuanying-level disciple came running in from outside the hall and said, "Grandmaster, Master, and all the uncles and uncles, there is a Taoist called Hongqing Zhenren who is visiting outside the mountain gate and wants to see the Grandmaster.
.”
"What?!" Upon hearing the disciple's report, the eldest disciple and the others' faces changed drastically. The eldest disciple then asked, "How many people are there?"
The disciple replied, "There is only one True Man, Hongqing."
Upon hearing this, the second disciple said, "Go and report to Master Hongqing and tell him that the Grandmaster is not in the temple and asks him to come back in two days."
The disciple did not hesitate at all and immediately replied, "Yes."
But at this moment, Master Mingqing, who had been sitting there in silence, spoke up, "Slow down."
"Master!" The disciples hurriedly surrounded him.
But Master Mingqing waved the whisk in his hand and said in a firm and serious tone: "You all should step back and don't say anything more."
Upon seeing this, the disciples dared not say anything more. After a moment of hesitation, they retreated to both sides of the hall.
Afterwards, Master Mingqing straightened his robe and said to his disciples, "Follow me to greet him."
"Master! No!" The disciples were shocked and hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
But Master Mingqing glared at them and asked, "Are you going to disobey Master's orders?"
The disciples were shocked and bowed their heads quickly, saying, "Disciples dare not."
Master Mingqing glanced at his disciples, then turned and walked out of the Wanshou Hall. The disciples looked at each other, and finally had no choice but to follow Master Mingqing.
In front of the mountain gate of Wanshou Palace, there are jade pillars and carved buildings, lush spiritual flowers and flourishing spiritual trees. There are cranes flying and singing in the sky, mountain monkeys howling on the ground, flowers flying and butterflies dancing, and streams gurgling. The beautiful scenery is so magnificent that it is dazzling.
Fang Jian stood in front of the Wanshou Palace mountain gate archway, quietly admiring the beautiful scenery before him. At this moment, his face was gentle, showing a rare gentle temperament.
After a while, he suddenly heard the sound of bells ringing from the mountain gate. Fang Jian turned around and saw an old Taoist priest with the Taoist practice of Taiyi Xuanxian, an immortal demeanor, a crane-like figure and a clear face walking out of the Wanshou Palace with a group of Taoist priests from the Xuanxian and Zhenxian realms.
Afterwards, the old Taoist priest led the other Taoists to the mountain gate and came before Fang Jian, bowing and saying, "I am the abbot of Wanshou Palace, Jiqing, and I pay my respects to the Immortal Hongqing."
Fang Jian's gentle expression disappeared in an instant, and turned into a cold and sinister one. He returned a salute to Master Mingqing, and without saying a word, he just nodded at him and walked straight into the Wanshou Palace.
Master Mingqing's disciples were immediately filled with indignation, but none dared to lash out. Only Master Mingqing's eldest disciple stepped forward and said, "Where is Master Hongqing going? As disciples of the Wanshou Palace, we can guide Master Hongqing."
Fang Jian stopped, glanced at the eldest disciple, and then said calmly, "No need."
After saying this, Fang Jian continued to walk into the Wanshou Palace. The eldest disciple turned back with an unhappy and helpless look on his face and said to Master Mingqing, "This Master Hongqing doesn't even take our Wanshou Palace seriously."
Master Mingqing ignored the disciples' uneasiness and also entered the Wanshou Palace, following behind Fang Jian.
...
Fang Jian came to the Tianshi Hall of Wanshou Palace, which is the main hall dedicated to Xu Xun, the Tianshi.
Master Mingqing led his disciples into the Heavenly Master Hall, only to see Fang Jian had already lit three incense sticks, bowed towards the tablet of Heavenly Master Xu, and then inserted the three incense sticks into the incense burner.
Seeing Fang Jian's actions, although Master Mingqing's disciples were puzzled, Master Mingqing immediately lifted the front of his Taoist robe and slowly knelt in the center of the hall.
"Master! You..."
Seeing Master Mingqing's behavior, the disciples were extremely shocked, but soon they saw Master Mingqing kowtow to the ground, shouting: "Disciple Mingqing, I apologize to the master!"
After Fang Jian lit the three incense sticks, he stepped aside. His gaze fell on Master Mingqing, and then he looked at the tablet of Xu Xun, the Heavenly Master Xu.
The next moment, a brilliant golden light suddenly burst out from Xu Tianshi's shrine, and then the golden light flew up directly, revealing a tall and majestic figure covered in golden light in the curling green smoke.
When the disciples saw this figure, they all knelt on the ground and called him "Master".
This is the "manifestation of the saint", also commonly known as the "manifestation of the ancestor". Wanshou Palace is the Taoist lineage of Xu Tianshi, and these disciples have naturally seen the ancestor's appearance before.
After Xu Xun appeared, he nodded to Fang Jian, then asked Master Mingqing on the ground, "Jingqing, do you admit your guilt?"
Master Mingqing kowtowed and said, "Disciple, I acknowledge my sin."
