Fire Monster

Chapter 328 Father and Son

After passing through this magnificent square, there is a group of majestic and magnificent palaces in front of you. Here, a solemn, sacred and awe-inspiring atmosphere comes towards you, which makes people unable to help but stand in awe.

But the imperial teacher was still nowhere to be seen here. Except for some beautiful young women wearing white linen clothes, barefoot, with their hair tied up, there was no one else.

"Everyone, this is a sacred place in the temple. In order not to disturb the state master's meditation, the temple has not been open to the public for fifty years. Please follow these saintly women to meet the state master. I will wait for you here."

The man who had been guiding Zhao Guanshan and others stood at the entrance of the temple. He first bowed respectfully to the inside of the temple, and then spoke politely to everyone.

Zhao Guanshan looked at the man. He was tall, with an elegant temperament, yet also had a heroic spirit. He should be an official of a high position in the Zhenhai Dao Palace. In short, he did not see anything evil or strange about him.

In addition, along the way, the Zhenhai Dao Palace is really prosperous, and the common people live and work in peace and contentment. Although their mental outlook is not extremely positive and optimistic, it is within the normal range.

In short, these are ordinary people.

They didn't look at all like the depraved, excited and crazy people in Qingcheng Taoist Palace.

This cannot be faked.

To put it bluntly, if Zhao Guanshan was a mortal without any extraordinary powers and abilities, he would rather live in the Zhenhai Dao Palace. Just like the saying in his hometown on Earth, it is better to be a dog in peacetime than a man in troubled times.

The Zhenhai Dao Palace is too strong.

Ordinary people probably won't be able to feel the invasion of evil spirits in their entire lives.

"Dear guests, please follow me."

A young woman with a sweet smile came over and bowed, just like a spring breeze.

This imperial teacher really knows how to enjoy himself.

This first hall should be used for meetings. There are some wonderful paintings on the walls on both sides. If you look carefully, you can see that the protagonist of each picture is Cheng Muye without exception.

There is the Cheng Muye who was hardworking, optimistic, and diligent in seeking the truth when he was young, and there is also the Cheng Muye who was quiet in the mountains and overlooked the world situation.

Naturally, there is also Cheng Muye who saves all living beings from danger when the world is in chaos and people are suffering.

In short, this is Cheng Muye’s brilliant, wonderful and great life.

It is such an honor that it could fill a book.

At this point, Zhao Guanshan suddenly felt that something was not right. When he saw the statue of Cheng Muye before, he thought it was a fake.

But after seeing what he had seen along the way, he felt that Cheng Muye was real.

Soon, they followed the young woman into the second palace. The space here was slightly smaller and quite elegant. There were also many murals here. In addition to Cheng Muye, the protagonists in the paintings included as many as twenty-eight women with different temperaments, as beautiful as spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums.

These are all Cheng Muye’s confidantes.

There was a pretty and gentle neighbor girl from my childhood.

There is a cute little sister who goes into the mountains to practice Taoism with me.

There is a serious and arrogant senior sister.

There is a cynical, free-spirited, and beautiful female master.

There are also beautiful women in Jianghu who are chivalrous and tender...

Anyway, there was a long row of them. Zhao Guanshan and his group were dazzled by the sight, except for the man transformed by the evil god, who had less and less presence here.

After passing through this hall, you will see a garden with superb scenery, with clear lakes, secluded paths, lush flowers and trees, and several temples looming in the distance.

Then, by the lake, there was a white-haired old man fishing leisurely.

He didn't look back, but just one sentence almost frightened Zhao Guanshan to death.

"Fellow Daoist Chengfeng, after we parted in the spirit world, I have been waiting for you in the real world for a long time!"

The name Zhao Chengfeng was used by Zhao Guanshan in the spiritual world. In other words, only people who have been to the spiritual world know it.

If the Cheng Muye in front of him was a fake, and was created by the evil god using sorcery after Cheng Muye died in battle, then it was impossible for him to know the name Zhao Chengfeng.

Unless, Cheng Muye did not die and he was lying, but how did he deceive the three major Taoist palaces of Fuyun, Cangwu and Tianlong?
While many thoughts were changing in Zhao Guanshan's mind, the white-haired old man had already put down his fishing rod and slowly stood up. It was indeed Cheng Muye.

With a happy smile on his face, he first glanced at the man transformed by the evil god, and then looked at Zhao Guanshan.

"Fellow Daoist Chengfeng, I heard that you have another name in the real world, Zhao Guanshan. So which one is the real you? You have deceived me so much!"

Zhao Guanshan didn't say anything, but just stared at Cheng Muye, trying to find some clues, but he could see nothing, except that he seemed older than in the spiritual world.

"Don't look at me. I still have three years left to live. My time is coming soon. It's good to live a prosperous life."

"I'm sorry, I also lied to you in the spirit world, because I had to find a long-term path for Zhenhai Dao Palace, and I also had to find a trustworthy helmsman for Zhenhai Dao Palace."

"Then do you know who it is?"

Zhao Guanshan pointed at the man transformed by the evil god.

"I know. It is a fallen being who wants to turn over a new leaf and become the one destined to be." Cheng Muye actually admitted it.

"So you think this is worthy of affirmation and praise?" Zhao Guanshan sneered.

Cheng Muye shook his head, "Fellow Daoist Chengfeng, what else do you want? There is a Fallen who wants to become the Destiny. This is the luck of us humans, at least ordinary mortals. Don't you see that in the ignorant land without the Destiny, mortals will be in awe of everything that looks magical, the spirits of ancestors, beasts of the night, a Fallen is better than some weasel, wild fox, mountain spirit or grass monster, right?"

"You are a cultivator, you are a Qi-refining practitioner, you can ignore all this, but what about mortals? You have been wanting to transcend and ascend to heaven your whole life, but have you ever thought about being a mortal like you once were?"

"Falling, at least gave mortals a way to survive."

"I don't want to discuss these with you. I just want to ask, what do you want to do? You know the plan of Fuyun Taoist Palace, but you are not the one who executes the plan. What is your purpose in it?" Zhao Guanshan said in a deep voice.

"Haha, why should I tell you, Fellow Daoist Chengfeng? You are still too young to understand one thing: how can you be so confident in using something that is given away for free?"

"You really think that it was the spiritual light you scattered in the Linjiang Prefecture Taoist Palace that attracted us here. In fact, the only people who were attracted here were those from the Fuyun Taoist Palace, but it will probably take them decades to arrive."

"What really attracted us here was that you used my method to deploy and upgrade the Level 6 Spiritual Supply Tower. Of course, there is nothing wrong with this Spiritual Supply Tower itself, but the frequency of high-pressure spiritual energy is fixed. We have already built a sealed radar that can detect and search in the Demon Fire Abyss. As long as you use the technology of the Zhenhai Dao Palace, you will inevitably be searched."

"And then, you know the rest."

Having said that, Cheng Muye looked at the man transformed by the evil god again.

The man fell to his knees with a thud.

"My son is incompetent and has not yet been able to control Linjiang Dao Palace. Instead, he was framed by Zhao Guanshan. Please punish me, father!"
