The Purple-Robed Celestial Master has turned into a zombie?! Who can stand that?!

Chapter 117 The Overbearing Zhang Tianlu
The two Buddhist monks looked grim at that moment.

They didn't expect Zhang Tianlu to interfere.

The moment Zhang Tianlu appeared, things immediately became complicated, because this guy was the ancestral master of Longhu Mountain, and they definitely couldn't afford to offend him.

Zhang Tianlu had previously arrested too many abbots and masters in their Buddhist sect, and this guy is now the sect's number one wanted criminal.

They hated him to the core, but they couldn't openly turn against him because they couldn't beat him.

Many Buddhist temples and monasteries now feel a headache coming on when they hear the name Zhang Tianlu.

I never expected to run into Zhang Tianlu here today.

But in the case of today's incident, Zhang Tianlu is actually not in the right, because Jinyang Mountain and Longhu Mountain are not the same place at all.

Although both are Taoist sects, they are far apart and have little to do with each other.

Now, the Buddhist sect is following proper procedures to demolish the Taoist temple on Jinyang Mountain. Zhang Tianlu is now an outsider; Jinyang Mountain never belonged to him in the first place.

Although the two Buddhist monks were afraid of Zhang Tianlu, they still did not want to give in to this situation.

A monk spoke up, "Amitabha, so it is Benefactor Zhang here. I didn't see Benefactor Zhang just now, please forgive me."

“Benefactor Zhang, we have already left Jinyang Mountain. We have followed the proper procedures and the authorities have given their approval. It is now under the jurisdiction of our Buddhist sect. We hope that you will do us a favor today and not cause any trouble.”

The monk was quite clever; he didn't choose to confront Zhang Tianlu head-on, because he knew that he would definitely suffer a loss if he did.

So he went straight for the first polite gesture before resorting to force.

First, greet Zhang Tianlu politely, then adopt a proper attitude and state your requirements.

He felt that this way, Zhang Tianlu would have no reason to confront them directly.

Because on this matter, they have the absolute upper hand.

After they finished speaking, Zhang Tianlu said directly, "Stop talking nonsense to me. I said this place is mine, so it is mine."

"What you're holding is useless. This place is now occupied by me. You have fifteen minutes to get out, or don't blame me for being impolite."

Zhang Tianlu didn't want to give it up at all, even though the abbot of Jinyang Mountain Taoist Temple was no longer alive.

This place is their Taoist territory. The Jinyang Mountain Taoist Temple has been built here for more than 600 years and carries the fortune of the Taoist sect. How could they just give it up like that?

Giving up this land is tantamount to losing a portion of the Taoist fortune, and it's fine if Zhang Tianlu doesn't know about this.

But now that he knows, do you think it's possible for them to plunder the Taoist's fortune and occupy their territory right under his nose?
Zhang Tianlu had no intention of giving up his territory to them, so he told them to get lost. As for their application to the authorities to build a Buddhist temple on Jinyang Mountain, that was not approved by the original owner.

Now that the original owner of Jinyang Mountain is dead, the place has naturally been taken over by Zhang Tianlu.

As for your question about why it was taken over by Zhang Tianlu?
Longhu Mountain is the ancestral home of Taoism. Who would dare to deny that?

Zhang Tianlu was the third-generation Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, the ancestral patriarch of the temple, and a universally recognized patriarch in Taoism.

It's perfectly reasonable for him to take over directly, right?

Upon hearing Zhang Tianlu's attitude, the two monks' faces darkened.

I originally thought that if I talked to this Dragon Tiger Celestial Master properly, he would be able to reason with me, but I didn't expect him to be completely unreasonable.

Even though they brought all the proper paperwork, it was useless; the other party just tore up all the contract documents.

The monk asked, "Master, this is an era governed by law. Are you really not even giving the authorities any face? This is going against the authorities."

The monk knew that using Buddhism to suppress Zhang Tianlu was useless, so he brought in the official channels.

I think with the authorities keeping Zhang Tian in check, Shandong Luneng should be more sensible, after all, we live in an era of law.

Unfortunately for him, Zhang Tianlu countered with a bolt of lightning. He retorted, "What laws? I'm a zombie, not a human. You're talking to me about laws? Fine, I'll use my lightning magic on you then."

Zhang Tianlu was too lazy to chat with the two monks.

A bolt of lightning struck.

Are you going to leave or not? If you don't, I'll really take action.

This place is mine if I say it is, and no one can change that.

As for the official laws of the mortal realm, do you think I, a zombie, would abide by your laws?

It doesn't matter who comes today.

When the two monks saw that Zhang Tianlu had already unleashed the heavenly lightning, they knew that they were no match for this ancestral master, so they slunk away with their tails between their legs.

The two monks ran down the mountain. Zhang Tianlu saw that the two young monks had run away, but he was too lazy to make things difficult for them.

They were just two minor figures, not some important Buddhist monks.

If he were to actually kill them, he would lose face and be accused of bullying the weak, so there was no need.

Just get rid of these Buddhist guys.

As for the future of Jinyang Mountain, Zhang Tianlu plans to set up an array here to transfer the spiritual energy of this place to his Fenglei Mountain.

Even if a Taoist's auspicious feng shui site is no longer in use, it shouldn't be handed over to Buddhism.

At the foot of Jinyang Mountain, two monks who had fled down the mountain exchanged a glance, revealing their unwillingness to give up.

They thought that they could directly develop Jinyang Mountain after obtaining the official permits, but they didn't expect to be driven down the mountain by Zhang Tianlu, who didn't listen to any reason.

Recalling how arrogant that guy had been, the two monks decided to go back and complain.

“Brother Zhengyang, Zhang Tianlu is being unreasonable. We should go back and report to the abbot. We must get an explanation for this.”

"However, even the three abbots of Leiyin Temple were defeated by him, so our abbot of Zhengyang Temple may not be a match for him."

"What's there to be afraid of? We have the authorities behind us. This matter has been approved by them. Now that Zhang Tianlu is blocking us from the outside and preventing the forced demolition, he's a holdout. Naturally, we'll have the higher-ups to help us."

"This Zhang Tianlu may be capable of dealing with our Buddhist sect, but does he think he can handle the entire higher-ups? His actions are nothing but courting death."

The monk who said this revealed a sinister look on his face and sneered, thinking that Zhang Tianlu was too naive, thinking that it was still more than 2000 years ago and that he could occupy any place he wanted.
Times have changed.

There's no place you can't tear down if you want to!

That's not a good choice.

Even if the Buddhist sect can't deal with Zhang Tianlu, Zhang Tianlu will only face certain death if he opposes them.

This matter might help their Buddhist sect push the entire upper echelons to the opposite side of Zhang Tianlu.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for Buddhism.

Hearing his senior brother Zhengyang's words, the monk next to him showed a look of joy.

Thinking about it that way, it does seem to be true.

Although the Taoist temple on Jinyang Mountain wasn't demolished today, if this can be used to push that area to the opposite side of Zhang Tianlu, and then they join forces with the authorities to deal with Zhang Tianlu, things will get interesting.

Thinking about it this way, Zhang Tianlu was indeed courting death.
