Chapter 87 Yuhua Mountain
Yuhua Mountain.

"We're finally here!" Chang Miao laughed heartily as he looked at the stone tablet on the side of the road.

Li Ming also nodded and said, "Indeed, we have arrived. It really wasn't easy."

Along the way, the two experienced many things, such as.

"Two ghosts, mother and son, are seeking human souls."

"The fake mountain god in Miaozhen Cave."

"The Heart Sutra is taught at Guanyin Temple."

"Go and enlighten the bandits in the mountains."

I won’t go into details here.

In short, the two of them traveled for a while, experienced the cold and heat, and finally arrived at the foot of Yuhua Mountain. So at this moment, both of them looked a little weathered. Of course, their cultivation had also improved a lot.

Li Ming felt that he had reached the peak of spiritual travel, but there was still an invisible film blocking him from driving away objects, and he could not break through for the time being. Chang Miao could also travel a hundred miles at night. Of course, for him, it was more about the experience in the martial arts world and the growth of life experience. Li Ming believed that he already had the ability to stand on his own, but he still looked innocent in front of him.

But if there are people who treat him as a naive person like the young prince, then I'm afraid they will fall into the trap dug by Chang Miao at any time.

After resting for a while at the foot of the mountain, the two of them went up the mountain. When they reached the mountainside, they could already see a group of buildings that were scattered and connected. They looked at it and saw that there was indeed a plaque in front of them with three big characters "Yuhua Temple" written on it.

But when he got closer, Li Ming frowned, because he found that the place was somewhat desolate and dilapidated, which was completely different from the prosperous scene described in Bai Hongzi's suicide note.

"Senior brother, something is wrong." Chang Miao obviously also noticed this.

"Let's wait and see." Li Ming said as he walked in first.

"Didn't you just come down the mountain? There's nothing left here for you, so why did you come back?" As the two of them stepped over the threshold, they heard an angry voice.

Chang Miao was about to speak, but was stopped by Li Ming. Li Ming laughed and said, "Master, you must have mistaken me. We just saw that there is a place here and wanted to rest our feet."

The owner of the voice then looked intently. It was two young men he didn't recognize, about the same age as himself. They were not the group he had expected. His face flushed and he said quickly, "I'm sorry, we've been through a lot recently. We're not accepting guests at the temple right now. Please come in."

"Buqun, forget it. Guests are welcome. Go make a pot of tea." A Taoist priest who was a little taller than the man said so.

"Senior Brother." The person called Buqun wanted to say something else.

The Taoist glared at Buqun, and Buqun had to leave in disappointment.

Only then did Li Ming see the surrounding environment clearly. Not only was the Taoist temple in a dilapidated state, but things were scattered all over the floor, as if a fierce battle had just taken place.

"I have heard of the great name of Yuhua Temple for a long time, but how come I have the opportunity to see it today?" Li Ming paused.

The Taoist smiled bitterly and said, "Family disgrace, family disgrace."

Li Ming asked, "I wonder if it's inconvenient to talk about the long side?"

"It's nothing, it's not a secret. It's the same if you go down the mountain to ask." The Taoist sighed and spoke slowly.

It turns out that although Yuhua Mountain has the Twelve Meridians True Transmission, Yuhua Mountain believes in elite education, so most of them only accept two or three disciples, and some of the true transmissions are even passed down to a single person, and the qualifications of those disciples are also excellent. In other words, these twelve meridians true transmissions are all masters, and they are all qualified to enter the two-world formation.

Therefore, the people who stayed behind to look after the mountain gate were naturally insufficient. As time went by, the only old senior who stayed behind to guard the mountain gate passed away, and none of the remaining ones could command the support of the others. After several fights, the major Taoist sects went down the mountain one after another to set up their own sects. Now, only Gao Mingshi and his junior brother Yue Buqun were left in the entire Yuhua Mountain. No wonder the Yuhua Temple is so desolate now.

Of course, Gao Mingshi didn't mention the matter of the Jade Pillar Mountain, the Great Array of the Two Realms, but instead brushed it off by saying his elders had left for something. However, Li Ming naturally knew what he meant. Meanwhile, Yue Buqun had brewed some tea and brought it over, and the three of them chatted briefly.

Li Ming suddenly said, "So Brother Gao is now the headmaster of Yuhua Mountain?"

Gao Mingshi nodded helplessly and said, "I'm ashamed of the trust you all placed in me. Yuhua Mountain is so huge now that it's become like this. How can I have the face to meet my ancestors from Yuhua Mountain in the afterlife after I die?"

"This is not difficult." Li Ming said with a smile.

"Oh? Please teach me, sir!" Gao Mingshi asked with a bow.

"It's very simple, just pass the position of the headmaster to me!" Li Ming smiled faintly and said this lightly.

"Sir, stop joking. You are just a passerby. How can you be the head of Yuhua Mountain?" Gao Mingshi sneered and his face gradually became stiff.

Li Ming seemed to be still unaware and continued to ask, "If I remember correctly, the position of the headmaster of Yuhua Mountain is for those with virtue, and anyone with a true lineage can take it."

Gao Mingshi's face changed drastically upon hearing this. He slammed the table and stood up, shouting, "Who the hell are you!!!"

Li Ming also stood up slowly, put down the teacup in his hand, and said with a smile: "I am a disciple of Bai Hongzi, and the contemporary head of the Tongxuan lineage!" As he spoke, he took out the "Tianyantu" taught by Bai Hongzi himself. It was exactly the inheritance of his Tongxuan lineage, which was enough to verify his identity.

"Bai Hongzi?!" Gao Mingshi repeated the name twice, with a look of realization in his eyes. It was obvious that he was not unfamiliar with the name. Then he carefully looked at the "Tian Yan Tu" and knew that what Li Ming said was true.

"So you are from the Tongxuan lineage who was expelled from the sect, and you still have the nerve to come back?" There was a hint of sharpness in Gao Mingshi's eyes.

"Open up the sect? You did it?" Li Ming responded with a sneer, "I didn't want to be the headmaster, but now that Yuhua Mountain has been handed down to you, it has ended up like this. Back then, Yuhua Mountain was the leader of the righteous path, and no one in the world would disobey it. But now it has become like this. If I don't take action, I will be ashamed of my master's teachings!"

"So you are here to snatch the position of the headmaster from my senior brother. You are a bad guy!" Yue Buqun seemed to come to his senses at this moment, pointing his finger at Li Ming's nose and cursing.

"Why are you interrupting when adults are talking?" Li Ming frowned coldly and uttered the word "Suppress!"

Yue Buqun seemed to have a timer pressed, and he immediately became motionless, as if he had turned into a clay sculpture.

"The Soul-Calming Mantra!" Gao Mingshi was shocked. He could calm his junior brother down without burning yellow talismans, reciting spells, or pinching his fingers. His cultivation was so profound that he was probably no match for him.

However, he still took up his stance, holding the Tai Chi Seal Hunyuan Ruzhu in his hands and reciting the mantra.

"The three treasures calm the soul and make it free, the jade beads make the universe clear and bright!" Reciting the mantra was useless, so he changed to three more mantras.

In this way, the curse was barely lifted, but Yue Buqun trembled and almost collapsed to the ground. Gao Mingshi hurried to help him, looking very embarrassed.

Seeing this, Chang Miao shook his head and said, "Your cultivation level is not even as good as mine. How dare you compete with my senior brother for the position of headmaster?"

Gao Mingshi was filled with shame and anger, but in the end, as if relieved, he took out a token and said softly, "Then it all depends on you."

"Wait!" Just as Li Ming reached out to take it, Gao Mingshi suddenly shouted.

"I can give you the master's token, but you have to promise me one thing!"

"Oh? What's the matter?" Li Ming asked.

"You must glorify the Yuhua Mountain Taoist lineage!"

As he spoke, his eyes were filled with hope. Li Ming knew that this was also a responsibility, so he solemnly accepted it and promised, "I will temporarily take over the position of headmaster. When I recall the twelve true disciples and reorganize Yuhua Mountain, I will officially take over the position of headmaster. If Yuhua Mountain does not become famous throughout the world, I will not be the headmaster of Yuhua Mountain!"

Gao Mingshi then called for the token. He knew very well that the so-called acting headmaster was just a fig leaf. Otherwise, it would be unethical if the news got out that the Tongxuan lineage was trying to snatch the position of headmaster. But if he could really make Yuhua Mountain rejuvenate, there would be no harm in giving him the position of headmaster!
