Several Taoist priests of Zhengyi Sect were ecstatic and the heroes looked at each other. The girls in the distance were about to break their hearts, and their Young Master Ning was really going to be Taoist priests.

In fact, Taoist priests in this world can also get married, but for many people who don’t have a deep understanding of Taoism, the so-called Taoist priests are those who hide on the mountain all day long, refine alchemy and talismans, and seek immortality, and come and go. Young Master Ning is the top scholar. If he wasn’t heartbroken and heartless, how could he reach this point?

Among the heroes, many people couldn't help but sigh at the boy. He was originally the top scholar, the Hanlin master, with a bright future, and a general and prime minister, but to this extent, the boy was indeed a kind of infatuated person.

The word "love and friendship" has always been the most valued by people in the world. At this moment, many people can't help but truly respect Ning Hanlin who was hurt by love.

Since Ning Hanlin had already made it so clear, according to the sayings in the world, it was actually "demarcating the way", Zhang Juchi invited everyone to sit and watch the ceremony.

Because there were too many people coming, the heroes of the martial arts and the Taoist sects who had been invited to come to see their dream lover Ning Hanlin, and the daughters of the daughters of Ning Hanlin, were added together, and the position was really not enough, so they had to put aside the cushions, bamboo mats and other items on the grass outside the main hall.

Fortunately, those daughters were satisfied as long as they could see their Young Master Ning, while others were originally from the world. Not to mention the cushions and bamboo mats, even if they just found a piece of grass, they could sit down without caring.

At present, the ceremony of the throne officially began. As a Taoist sect and famous sect, there are naturally many cumbersome etiquettes, especially the various Taoist ceremonies. To some extent, the various Taoist ceremonies are not much simpler than Confucianism, and they make the heroes drowsy. After finally, the official of the rituals invited the iron coupons and alchemy books issued by the court. Zhang Shao bowed to the alchemy books in front of everyone.

All under the world is the land of the king. Even Taoism with the purpose of "seeking immortality" is naturally no exception. What's more, there has never been a true immortality in this world. Taoism is just a part of the world and cannot escape the control of the king's law.

The earliest ancestor Tianshi, his name was real, and he earned it based on his own name, just like the name of the "Overlord" of Chu King, and it did not need to be recognized by others at all.

However, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, from the sixth generation of Tianshi, all Tianshi were theoretically "given" by the emperor. The shore of the land was a king's minister, which means that the entire Taoism obeyed the rule of the king's law and also indicates the court's recognition of Taoism. From the perspective of Longhu Mountain, this ensured the status of "authoritarian Taoist sect" recognized by Longhu Mountain by the court. There was only one Tianshi, and it would only come from Longhu Mountain. All other Taoist sects could not call themselves Tianshi, otherwise it would be a transcendence. The highest status of Longhu Mountain in the Taoist sect is determined by this.

For the court, on the one hand, it determined the subordinate relationship between Taoist priests in the world to the emperor, and on the other hand, it was also to prevent all kinds of evil people from using Taoism to resist the court. After all, compared with Confucianism, Taoism has a long history, and early Taoism was rooted in the people and has many "bad records".

Although the alchemy book issued by the emperor was only part of the etiquette, it was always placed in Longhu Mountain. The candidates of the Tianshi Master were also decided by Longhu Mountain themselves, and it was mostly symbolic, but it was an indispensable part.

The official of the Si Li invited the Emperor's alchemy book. Zhang Shao led the Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain to bow down and were about to kneel down to receive the alchemy book. At this moment, a loud shout rang out of thin air: "Let's wait!"

This shout was like thunder, which made people's ears numb. Zhang Shao and Zhang Juchi's face changed even more... It's still here!

The heroes also subconsciously looked at the mountain gate. Some people had guessed who the visitor was. Even though they had not guessed, just by relying on this shout that almost resounded throughout Guifeng, they knew that the visitor had at least the strength of a master.

Xiao Zhang, Chen Tianya, and Wu Yu looked at each other, and they all thought that it would be not that easy for this young master from the Zhang family to become the position of the master.

In the eyes of everyone, a burly Taoist man led the crowd to climb the mountain. The Taoist man had a gloomy face and a fleshy face, which was quite fierce. The Taoist priests behind him were all holding guns and sticks, and he knew at a glance that he was not a person from the ridge.

As soon as he saw this person coming, the Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain immediately set off their formation and glared at them. However, the man sneered: "The throne of the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain has always been passed down to the Zhang family's direct descendants. What kind of virtue does this kid dare to become the position of the Heavenly Master?"

But it turns out that this person is called Zhang Tugui. If he really counts as bloodline, he is actually the legitimate grandson of the 14th generation of the Heavenly Master of the Zhengyi Sect.

The 14th generation of the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Heavenly Master was called Zhang Kuangzheng. Zhang Kuangzheng had two sons, one called Zhang Pi and the other called Zhang Ting, among which Zhang Pi was the eldest son and Zhang Ting was the second son.

If we follow the normal inheritance, Zhang Pi should naturally inherit the position of Tianshi. During Zhang Kuangzheng's lifetime, he also valued his eldest son very much. He always said that his eldest son would definitely be able to revitalize Longhu Mountain and let the Longhu Mountain Zhengyi Sect revitalize his glory back then.

Originally, everyone thought that it was inevitable that Zhang Pi would become the 15th generation of the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain. Who knew that one day, the elderly Zhang Kuangzheng suddenly summoned all the real people in Longhu Mountain and drove Zhang Pi out of Longhu Mountain on the grounds that Zhang Pi had "unright mental skills, he would definitely cause the disaster of Longhu Mountain in the future" and established his second son Zhang Ting as the next generation of Heavenly Master. This matter was unexpected. After all, whether it was a young man or not, it was not a matter of being a country, a teaching, or a family. The real people tried hard to persuade him, especially for the reason that "unright mental skills" was too vague, and it was almost a creation of something out of nothing.

The real people hoped that at least they would give a reason to convince the world. However, the old master pointed at Zhang Pi in the heavy rain, his fingers trembled, and his voice was hoarse: "You ask him, you ask him!" Amid his roar, Zhang Pi did not say anything, knelt in the rain, kowtowed, gritted his teeth and got up and left.

Seeing the reactions of their father and son, everyone knew that something must have happened to become like this. After all, if the old master drove away his eldest son because of spoiling his youngest son, the old master did not show more favor for his youngest son. Instead, he always praised his eldest son for his extraordinary talent and said that his youngest son was mediocre, and Zhang Pi's reaction at that time was clearly guilty.

Afterwards, whenever someone mentioned Zhang Pi, the old master was angry and angry, unable to speak, and then turned into a silent sigh. In the twilight years that followed, he did not mention the reason why he drove Zhang Pi away. Even so, everyone roughly guessed that it must be an indescribable scandal. Once it was really informed of the world, Zhang Pi, who had been driven out of Longhu Mountain, had a bad reputation and had no place to gain a foothold in the world.

After all, the old master could not do too much for his eldest son, leaving behind that little affection... and then leaving behind great troubles.

After driving away the eldest son, the fifteenth generation of Tianshi Zhang Kuangzheng did not live long. One night, he vomited blood and died. Zhang Ting succeeded as the sixteenth generation of Tianshi. Although his qualifications were mediocre, he still practiced as the Tianshi Master with the secret "Nine Cauldron Pill Sutra" collected by Longhu Mountain. However, only a few years later, Zhang Pi, who had disappeared in the world for a long time, appeared again. Although he did not obtain the "Nine Cauldron Pill Sutra", he also practiced as a master, and his skills would only be higher and stronger than his younger brother.

At that time, Zhang Pi, who was far away in Bashu, told the world that he was driven out of Longhu Mountain by his father because his father spoiled his younger brother, and he did not make any mistakes. The position of the Heavenly Master should have belonged to him. Zhang Ting and the real people on Longhu Mountain, of course, knew that this was not the truth. Zhang Pi just relied on the death of the Heavenly Master and no one knew what he had made, so he spoke nonsense.

However, why did the old master of Heaven drive away Zhang Pi? Even Zhang Ting, the younger brother, knows that his brother is in a different way. Although he knows that his brother is in a different way, he cannot tell the difference. When the Longhu Mountain side could not respond, the public opinion in the world was always on Zhang Pi's side. Zhang Pi took this opportunity to establish the Western Tianshi Sect in Bashu. Because he had not been granted the imperial edict and could not be called the Tianshi Master, he called himself "Taizhen Ren" and from beginning to end, he said that the position of the Tianshi Master was originally owned by him.

However, the Western Tianshi Sect was also in a fierce momentum under the leadership of Zhang Pi. Of course, this was also partly because the court deliberately indulged in the division of the Taoist sect. In addition, the reason why Zhang Pi chose Bashu as the foundation of the Western Tianshi Sect was actually due to historical reasons, so let's talk about this later.

In short, with the deliberate support of the court, the Zhengyi Sect has actually split into the southern and western sects. Although Longhu Mountain is still orthodox in the minds of the people in the martial arts world, the title of "Tianshi Master" is still left in Longhu Mountain, but Zhang Pi, who has extraordinary talent, has actually tore up the Taoist sect and influenced the authentic status of the Dragonhu Mountain Taoist sect.

After the death of Zhang Ting, the 16th generation of Tianshi Master of Longhu Mountain, the position of Tianshi was passed to his son Zhang Zhen. Zhang Zhen did not have long been in the position of Tianshi Master. Ten years later, he died suddenly and the position of Tianshi Master was passed to his son Zhang Jintai. Zhang Haoyi, the son of Zhang Jintai, was killed by a group of bandits of unknown origin during an outing. Zhang Jintai himself died of illness and was only in his fifties when he died. Among all the heavenly masters, his life span was extremely short.

Before Zhang Kuangzheng died, he accepted Zhang Shao as his stepson and ordered all the real people from Longhushan to support Zhang Shao as the 18th generation of Heavenly Master. On the other hand, the Western Heavenly Master taught one side, but Zhang Pi also had a son, which was Zhang Tu Gui. The main hall of Longhushan was located on Guifeng, but he called his son "Tu Gui". His intention can be imagined.

As the second generation of Taizhen people of the Western Heavenly Master, Zhang Tugui is now in his seventies. Thirty years ago, he had already reached the level of a master and made a vow to regain the throne of the Heavenly Master that should belong to his father sooner or later. However, although there was this vow, firstly, the position of "Heavenly Master" has always been a court decree, and he cannot be regarded as a powerful person. Secondly, no matter what, his father was driven out of Longhu Mountain by the 14th generation of the Heavenly Master. No matter how he poured dirty water on Longhu Mountain afterwards, this is irrefutable.

Now, at the throne ceremony of the 18th Heavenly Master, Zhang Tugui finally found an opportunity and led his disciples to enter the mountain gate.

In front of everyone, he stared at the young Zhang Shao and sneered: "The throne of the Heavenly Master has always been passed down to the Zhang family's direct descendants. As the youngest son, Zhang Ting was already unethical and unjust in rituals. You are just a villain from another family. What qualifications are you to become a new generation of Heavenly Master?"

Although Zhang Tugui was 70 years old, Taoism has always been good at health preservation. In addition, he has already practiced to the level of a master. From the outside, he is only about fifty years old. Standing there, proud and arrogant, with the spirit of looking down on the world. Seeing him suddenly reaching, he was so unceremonious that he all changed his faces.
