Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 356 Incense Burns Brightly on Flying Cloud Mountain

Master Qingwei flew off to find Master Qingyuan.

Master Yuanhe flew back to the Daluo Palace on his sword, bringing with him a middle-aged martial arts master who joined the palace as an outer disciple.

Gu Zhao's Five Thunder Token in his sea of ​​consciousness condensed another thunder seed.

……

"To be honest, among the four famous Taoist mountains, Feiyun Mountain is relatively less well-known," Gu Zhao said.

The four famous Taoist mountains are Longhu Tianshan, Zhenwu Mountain, Qingcheng Mountain, and Feiyun Mountain.

Among them, Longhu Tianshan is the location of the Celestial Master's Mansion, which has a history of over a thousand years and has been the leading force of the Southern Taoist School. Zhenwu Mountain integrates the Northern and Southern Taoist Schools and produced a once-in-a-millennium figure, Zhang Sanfeng. Qingcheng Mountain has a long history and can be considered the birthplace of Taoism.

Compared to the other three famous mountains, Feiyun Mountain is indeed less well-known, and it is not even as famous as Laoshan, Kongdong Mountain, or Sanqing Mountain.

“A little fame is good; only with a little fame can one cultivate the Tao in peace,” Master Yuzhang said with a smile.

Feiyun Mountain is located between Longhu Tianshan and Sanmaoshan. Although it is in the Jiangnan region, it is actually a bridgehead for the southward spread of Taoism from the north. However, it was later spread by Taoism from the south, and at this time it can be considered a place where Taoism from the north and south merged and converged.

"So besides the Northern Emperor Sect, are there other sects on Feiyun Mountain?" Gu Zhao asked.

“Of course,” Master Yuzhang said with a smile. “Isn’t the Southern Five Patriarchs you’ve been talking about the one who has no presence? A branch of the Ziyang School is actually located on Feiyun Mountain.”

"Haha, I know." Gu Zhao nodded with a smile. "It's in the information the Taoist Studies Office gave me. To be honest, I thought this branch had long been integrated into the Quanzhen School and had been lost."

“As long as the tradition exists, it will not be lost. At worst, it will be passed down through generations.” Master Yuzhang said with some emotion, “There is also a branch of the Longmen School and the Shenxiao School on Feiyun Mountain.”

"The Longmen and Ziyang Schools of Quanzhen Taoism, and the Beidi and Shenxiao Schools of Zhengyi Taoism, have indeed merged from the North and South."

Gu Zhao looked at the information provided to him by the Taoist office. Although Feiyun Mountain is the most inconspicuous of the four famous Taoist mountains, it is actually a quiet and secluded place suitable for Taoist cultivation. It has more true Taoist masters than the Celestial Master's Mansion and Sanmao Mountain!

However, he didn't have enough lightning seeds in his sea of ​​consciousness at the moment, so he couldn't take them all with him.

Gu Zhao and Daoist Yu Zhang walked up the mountain. There weren't many tourists on the mountain, at least compared to Huangshan, which is in the same city.

However, at the same time, they noticed that the proportion of wealthy people dressed in fine clothes among the tourists going up the mountain was slightly higher.

"The first to get the news were still these wealthy people," Gu Zhao said with a smile.

“Even if ordinary people knew, they wouldn’t have time to climb the mountain and offer incense on weekdays,” Master Yuzhang said with a smile.

The Taoist priest from Qingyuan was born into a farming family and had never been on an airplane in his life. Although he had become invisible and even lifted the plane to glide and land, it still looked too fake.

There are many inconsistencies in the passenger plane malfunction incident, and there is also a photo to prove it. Fortunately, the video of the plane landing without taxiing was not leaked, otherwise it would have been an open secret.

Even so, the airport was still crowded that day, with hundreds of passengers having experienced the incident. Like the Mengyuan mine disaster, news of the event inevitably spread through various channels. Famous mountains, temples, and Taoist monasteries in Chengdu, such as Qingyang Palace, Qingcheng Mountain, Heming Mountain, and Emei Mountain, were suddenly overflowing with people!

It is said that the offices of the airports in Chongqing and Sichuan Province both have statues of Laozi, and three sticks of incense are offered respectfully every day. When staff pass by, they can smell the sandalwood incense and feel refreshed.

Not long after the passenger plane malfunction, a sandstorm occurred in the north.

To be honest, at first, ordinary people didn't realize what was happening. There have been many strange and sudden weather phenomena, such as earthquakes, droughts, floods, torrential rains, smog, and sandstorms.

Take, for example, the torrential rain in Shangdu back then. It was like the Milky Way pouring down, with thunder and lightning. In the end, it was described online as a great battle between the Taoist priests of Tianxia and the Yin-Yang masters of Yinggao.

Therefore, the sudden sandstorm and its disappearance were not taken seriously by the people, who simply thought it was another relatively strange weather event.

It wasn't until people discovered that many cities had suddenly experienced sandstorms disappearing, and then some people even compiled a list of the timelines of the sandstorms disappearing in various cities, that people learned about the sandstorm that had engulfed cities in northern Inner Mongolia.

Then, a clear path emerged.

Not long after, Beimeng sent a delegation to visit Yandu and reached relevant cooperation agreements with Tianxia in mining, infrastructure, new energy, and environmental governance, making the cause and effect of the incident even clearer.

This is by no means an ordinary abnormal weather event; it is a blatant result of human intervention.

Although many people speculated that it was due to Tianxia's high technology, those who knew a little about the inside story did not hesitate to conclude that it was an action taken by an extraordinary person in anger.

The reason is simple: dumping sand directly into the capital of Northern Mongolia is definitely not the style of the Tianxia system!

Exposed Taoist talismans, a rainbow over Mount Lao, photos of a passenger plane malfunction, rumors of Taoist priests appearing at a mining disaster site, the inside story of the Berkeley incident...

Those who have some contact with the outside world know that many foreigners enter the country and explore some famous mountains and scenic spots.

Each and every one of these incidents is connected to Taoism, the indigenous religion of Tianxia!
Haven't you heard what the system has been releasing lately?
Taoist culture is not feudal superstition; it is a traditional culture that originated in our country and has been passed down for thousands of years!

Many well-informed wealthy people, as well as those with some power within the system, began to frantically inquire, since the biggest label of Taoist culture, besides subduing demons and monsters, is prolonging life and achieving immortality!
However, the Taoist Culture Exchange Support Office is at a very high level, consisting almost entirely of senior leaders and top experts from various departments. It is directly responsible to the core of the system and can mobilize the resources and strength of various departments at any time. Ordinary people cannot find their way to them, or even if they do, they cannot have any influence over them.

Therefore, those who believe they know the inside story before ordinary people, but have no connection with the extraordinary, can only desperately seek help from all sides, burning incense everywhere in the hope of obtaining a connection with the immortals.

Feiyun Mountain, as one of the four famous Taoist mountains, is naturally a key place for these people to burn incense.

For example, right now, Gu Zhao and Daoist Yu Zhang overtook a slightly overweight middle-aged man on their way up the mountain. He was accompanied by a pretty young woman who was helping him up the mountain.

"Huff...huff..." The man panted heavily, looking up at the Xuan Su Palace, which still seemed quite far away, and said with a sneer, "Why do these Taoist priests build their temples so high? Aren't they deliberately making things difficult for me?"

"Should we not climb anymore?" the woman asked.

“No way! I have to climb!” The man paused for a moment, then shook his head. “Maybe there’s a real Taoist priest on Feiyun Mountain who can solve my problem. I’ll just pay him more money.”
