The little Taoist priest is a female crown. She is neatly dressed in Taoist uniforms and clean. She does not carry dust or carry a sword. She just stands in the middle of the road with a pair of snow-white hands on her back.

The little Taoist looked at Zhao Tong curiously. Zhao Tong was riding a horse in front of him. The horse Zhaoye Jade Lion was taller, so the little Taoist could only look up. His eyes were curved into a crescent shape, which was very beautiful.

Zhao Tao brought a command of the Dragon Guard Army out of Beijing this time. The actual number should be 900. However, firstly because of the lack of horses, and secondly because the Forbidden Army was severely underpaid, there were actually only three people for this command.

There are more than a hundred people, less than half of the establishment. Counting the personal guards, there are about 500 handymen.

The little Taoist priest stared at Zhao Tao, and the commander of the Long Wei Army couldn't help but said: "But Taoist from Shangqing Palace? You are so rude!"

Although the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army is corrupt, the Longwei is the fourth army. Regardless of whether it can fight or not, its momentum is always very good.

The little Taoist priest was relieved by this shouting, but he did not pay attention to the military commander, but said to Zhao Tong: "Are you a prince from the capital?"

Zhao Tong smiled and signaled the army commander to stop making noise, saying: "It is Zhao Tong who came from Tokyo and wants to go up the mountain to pray for the Lord."

The little Taoist priest nodded and said, "My name is Zhang Miaojie. If you want to go up the mountain, you can come with me."

Zhao Tong said: "How does the little Taoist master know my identity?"

The little Taoist priest smiled and said: "You can guess, Zhao Yu, you are in such a big scene, you are not an ordinary official, you must be a prince or aristocrat."

Zhao Tong was speechless. He insisted on coming to Longhu Mountain because of the incident of Lieutenant Hong accidentally getting away with the demon. He wanted to see if there were really demons and magic in this world. After all, he had a lot to do in the future.

Be prepared in your mind.

In fact, he doesn't really believe in these things, but since it's Water Margin, he has to verify it before he feels at ease.

Zhao Tong said: "Then I'll have Master Lao Xiao lead the way."

The little Taoist priest said: "Zhao Zan, just call me by my name. There are too many of you, including cars and horses. They all go up the mountain and have nowhere to stay."

Zhao Tong looked back and saw that it was easy to say that the carriages and horses were indeed too heavy to continue on the journey. After thinking about it, he gave the order, only seven or two of Lei Sanhong would accompany him, and the others would stay at the foot of the mountain to pitch tents.

The three of them followed the young Taoist priest up the mountain and chatted on the road: "Is the Heavenly Master on the mountain?"

Zhang Miaojie said: "I don't know either. It's hard to find the traces of wild cranes in the clouds of the Heavenly Master. They appear sometimes, but they disappear even if you look for them deliberately."

Zhao Tong's original intention was to meet this Heavenly Master Zhang. After all, this Heavenly Master is still in charge of Longhu Mountain since the Renzong Dynasty. When Taiwei Hong came, the Heavenly Master looked like a young man. He must be in his sixties now, but listen to Xiao

Taoist priests are not easy to meet.

He said: "Master Miaojie is waiting here specially?"

Zhang Miaojie said slyly: "Zhao Tong, you are overthinking. I just met by chance when I returned to the mountain. Do you think I have a clever plan?"

Zhao Tong smiled and said: "It is said that Longhu Mountain has powerful magic and is revered by the Heavenly Master. It goes without saying that all the real people have extraordinary means. The prediction may not be untrue!"

Zhang Miaojie shook her head and said: "I'm just a little Taoist boy, not a real person."

Zhao Tong saw her lively spirit and couldn't help teasing: "Since your surname is Zhang, you are naturally of the Celestial Master lineage, so you can be considered a little Celestial Master."

Zhang Miaojie blinked her eyes and said: "How can a woman be a heavenly master? It turns out that Zhao Tong, you are Ye Gong and a good dragon. You have only a little knowledge and don't understand our Longhu Mountain at all!"

Zhao Tong was happy, knowing that Zhang Miaojie was indeed of Zhang Tianshi's lineage, but he didn't know what relationship he had with the contemporary Tianshi.

Not long after, the four people arrived in front of the Shangqing Palace. Since they were not announcing the order or discussing it in advance, there was no ceremonial guard in the palace to welcome them. Zhao Tong didn't care. He went up the mountain and became more and more low-key.

OK.

Standing in front of the palace, Zhao Tong looked carefully and saw that it was a good Shangqing palace, but he saw:

The green pines are buckling, and the green cypresses are dense. The door hangs the golden book of imperial edicts, and the household talismans and jade seals. By the virtual emperor altar, there are faintly weeping willows and famous flowers; beside the medicine refining furnace, the green pines and old cypress trees are hidden.

There is also water leaking under the steps, and the courtyard behind the wall is surrounded by beautiful mountains. Cranes grow on the red tops, and turtles have green hair. There are fruit apes on the treetops, and white deer are held in the sedges. On the Sanqing Hall, Taoist priests are walking on the golden bell.

Virtual; in front of the Four Holy Halls, there are real people knocking on the jade and offering sacrifices. The altar for offering incense is built, and the colorful rays of sunlight shine on the green glass; the altar for summoning generals and Yao, the shadow of the red sun shakes the red agate.

"It's really a good thing!" Zhao Tong couldn't help but praise.

Zhang Miaojie ushered a few people in, immediately notified the Taoist attendants, and attracted the Taoist priests in charge of the real people's halls to greet them.

After greeting each other, they all went to the Sanqing Hall. After offering incense, Zhao Tao asked, "Where is the Heavenly Master today?"

The real host reported forward: "So that the prince can know that the founder of this generation is called the Heavenly Master Xu Jing. He has a noble nature and is tired of greeting and seeing off. He does not live in the palace and does not host. He usually lives in the thatched hut on the top of Longhu Mountain.

, I am cultivating myself, but I suddenly left a message the day before yesterday that I wanted to travel to the East China Sea, and I may have been away for a long time."

Hearing this, Zhao Tong glanced at his young daughter, Zhang Miaojie, and nodded. Whether he really wasn't here or didn't want to see her, this was not a forced matter.

Immediately, he went to another tea house to offer sacrifices. After the meal, he dismissed the Taoist servants and asked Zhang Miaojie where he went to the Demon Subduing Hall.

Zhang Miaojie was not surprised, and just said: "My father-in-law told me before that if anyone goes up the mountain and wants to see the Demon-Conquering Palace, just let him see it, but there is nothing good to see in it right now."

"Eunuch?" Zhao Tong knew that this was what the local dialect meant. He thought for a moment and said, "But Zhang Tianshi?"

The little Taoist priest hurriedly covered his face and said, "I accidentally let it slip. You just pretended you didn't hear it."

Zhao Tong shook his head: "So you are Zhang Tianshi's granddaughter. How could you not have heard these words? I asked why you can walk freely in this palace. It turns out there is this reason."

Zhang Miaojie lowered her head and said nothing. Zhao Tong didn't know what she was thinking. He was silent for a moment and said, "Can Taoist Master Miaojie take me to the Demon-Conquering Hall?"

Zhang Miaojie raised her head and showed her small face: "Zhao Tong, when do you want to go see it?"

Seeing her promise, Zhao Tong thought that the sooner the better, so he said: "How about going now?"

Zhang Miaojie agreed, and Zhao Tong took only Hong Qi and followed her out of the Taoist room.

The Shangqing Palace is vast and vast. The little girl Guan Zhang Miaojie in front leads the way to the front and back of the palace. The Sanqing Palace, the Jiutian Palace, the Ziwei Palace, and the North Pole Palace are all solemn and sacred. There are also the Taiyi Palace, the Sanguan Palace, the Exorcism Palace, etc.

.

After walking to the back of the right corridor, Zhao Tuo looked at another palace, with red mud walls and two vermilion doors on the front. The doors were wrapped with thick iron chains, but there was no lock.

, there are more than a dozen covers affixed to the cross, and the covers are overlapping with red seals. However, this cover has already been mottled and even opened, as if it will fall off if touched.
