After Wang Chen had seen the secret medicine left by the Maoshan Sect, although he knew that these inconspicuous things were the most important heritage of a sect, he still couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. What he really wanted to see were the "Taoist magic arts" and "magic power" mentioned by Senior Shigong. For a young man who grew up in a country guided by materialism and liked traditional culture, these things were incomparably attractive.
As he casually responded to Shigong, he thought about how to stealthily lead the topic to this.
"You just mentioned the Yan family of Chen Province … The Yan family's martial art, the Zombie Fist, needs the help of Mao Mountain's secret medicine to master. This shows that the Yan family has a special relationship with Mao Mountain! "
Shigong answered, "Indeed. The Yan family was originally an outer sect of Mao Mountain. When Patriarch Duke Jiu was still here, disciples of the Yan family would come to Mao Mountain every year to learn martial arts. Their fist technique could only be mastered with the secret medicine of Mao Mountain's gold and silver corpses. The patriarch even gave them the secret medicine to refine iron and bronze corpses so that they could master the fist technique in the Yan family.
"Later on, Mao Mountain met with a great calamity. All the elders and disciples were slaughtered, including gold, silver, copper, and iron. The flying yaksha's secret medicine for refining corpses was only left with the iron corpse medicine. Most of the techniques were lost as well. More than half of the Yan family's disciples who joined Mao Mountain died. Only then did they slowly lose contact with us … Let's not talk about the Yan family. Even the Wen family of Min Nan and not us from Mao Mountain?"
"Among the four heretical clans, Tang, Lei, Wen, and Yan, two of them belong to the forces of Lower Mao Mountain. When Lower Mao Mountain was at its peak, the shamans of Min Nan, the Quan Nan Fist Sect and Geomasters of Guangdong, the witchcraft practitioners of Guangxi, and even the navy and corpse drivers of Xiangxi, the people of all walks of life in Xiangxi, Min Nan, Guangxi, Yunnan, and Guizhou dared not accept Duke Jiu's summons. They called themselves Mao Mountain Taoist priests, Sanmao True Lord, and Grandmaster Jiu's disciples!
"It's only now that I've left Mao Mountain. At that time, the heretical forces united in Mao Mountain's outer sect scattered … Young patriarch! Although the three of us are the only ones left of Maoshan's direct lineage, Maoshan's disciples are still spread across Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Xiangxi, and Minnan. All we have to do is wait for the Ancestral Master to restore the Maoshan Taoism. With a wave of his arm, the disciples will immediately gather and rebuild the Maoshan Taoism! "
It had never occurred to Wang Chen that this Mao Mountain Taoist priest, who only appeared in old Hong Kong movies and ghost stories, could be so powerful. If what Shigong said was true, this sect must have many secrets! Among them, the most mysterious one should be the founder of Maoshan Taoism, Duke Jiu. All the Taoist magic of Maoshan Taoism seemed to originate from the Zhen Cang that Wang Chen rode in. Duke Jiu was a peerless genius who must have discovered many secrets from the Zhen Cang. Wang Chen had a vague feeling that there seemed to be an inextricable connection between him and the Maoshan Taoism.
He pondered for a moment and asked, "Since the Mao Mountain branch was once so glorious, how did it end up with only the two of you left in the main branch?"
Shigong couldn't help but burst into tears at the thought of that scene. He knelt down and said, "Young patriarch, there's a blood feud between us and the Maoshan Taoism that caused us to end up like this! Patriarch Jiu was just a Taoist priest in the Shangqing Palace of Maoshan. He obtained the coffin of the young patriarch and became a Perfected Being. He dominated the southeast and founded the sect. The Shangqing Palace looked down on the patriarch, but they couldn't find anyone who could be compared to him. At that time, the Taoist magic appeared, and the Dragon and Snake Continent rose. It was an era of great competition. Many ancient magic treasures appeared one after another, most of which were obtained by the Quanzhen Sect.
"In the Zhengyi Sect, only Dragon and Tiger Mountain obtained an ancient magic treasure. Another person, Patriarch Jiu, also obtained the coffin of the young patriarch. Just because Patriarch Jiu was not a Taoist priest, the people of the Shangqing Palace dared to call him a junior. How could Patriarch Jiu, Perfected Being Immeasurable, endure such humiliation?
"At that time, in a battle, seven Taoists from the Maoshan Sect followed the patriarch and broke into the mountain. They defeated 76 Taoist priests from the Shangqing Palace and made them feel ashamed. They had no choice but to agree to Patriarch Jiu's founding of the sect and rule the southeast and the heretical sects of the world. Patriarch Jiu remembered the virtue of the Shangqing Palace and honored them as the Maoshan Sect. He was willing to renounce the sect he founded as the Maoshan Sect."
"What kind of benevolence was that?"
"Dragon and Tiger Mountain, Maoshan, and Mount Gezao were the three talisman mountains of the Zhengyi Sect. Just because of the conflict between the patriarch and the Shangqing Palace, he denounced the Maoshan Sect as heretical and could not stand side by side with them. The Qingyang Palace of Sichuan and Dragon and Tiger Mountain of Jiangxi both had Perfected Beings. Even the people of Mount Gezao without a Perfected Being dared to look down on us! The patriarch gave the temples in the southeast provinces to the Shangqing Palace. He used the heretical sects of several provinces and the heretical sects of the world as the foundation of the sect. He established the Maoshan Sect as the first heretical sect. From then on, the world called Patriarch Jiu the Patriarch of the heretical sects! "
"The Maoshan Sect … is the ancestral court of the heretical sects!"
"The world's prostitutes, beggars, Dharma masters, Earth masters, witches, deities, chuma masters, advisors, yamen runners, matchmakers, pawns, time demons, thieves, thieves, high platforms, boasting, circus, pushing, pool, back scrubbing, mending, sex workers, prostitutes, dog beating, oil peddlers, pedicures, hair-shaving, food lifting, tailoring … All those who have magical power and Taoist magic are under the command of the Maoshan Sect. The Maoshan Sect is in charge of the laws of the lower nine classes of cultivators in the world. Anyone who dares to do evil will be struck down by the Maoshan Sect!"
"Today, the imperial court respects the Quanzhen Sect as the orthodox sect. Nanjing's Chaotian Palace, Beijing's Baiyun Temple, Wudang Mountain's Zhenwu Temple, Zhongnan Mountain's Chongyang Palace, Chunyang Wanshou Palace, as well as the Yuxian Sect, Nanwu Sect, Suishan Sect, Dragon's Gate Sect, Lun Mountain Sect, Huashan Sect, Qing Jing Sect, and the other Seven True Sects all have Perfected Beings to suppress their sects. Today, the land of the north has Quanzhen Sect as the orthodox sect. "
"The Three Mountains of Righteous One are holed up in their own province. They don't have the guts to fight with them!"
"As such, when the Quanzhen Sect moved south, only Patriarch Jiu could stop them. He fought with the Quanzhen Sect three times and firmly stopped them from entering Nanjing. However, nineteen years ago, during the fourth fight, Patriarch Jiu's internal injuries relapsed and he … he unfortunately passed away! " Shigong sobbed, "At this time of crisis, when the righteous sects should have rejected the Quanzhen Sect, the Shangqing Palace … the Shangqing Palace plotted against me!"
"They lured the Quanzhen Sect's Perfected Ones into the ancestral court of the Maoshan Sect … Senior Brothers and Uncle-Masters fought back with all their might. The fire burned for three days, and the southeast wept blood!"
"Later, when the Maoshan Sect's outer sect, the three great witches of Miaojiang, the Great Shaman of the northeast, the Corpse King of Xiangxi, the two heretical Perfected Ones of Southern Min, and the two Geomasters of Guang arrived, the Maoshan Sect was already in ruins. Only I, the youngest disciple who had just entered the Dao, was escorted to the secret tunnel by my senior brothers to preserve the Maoshan Sect's orthodoxy. "
"At that time, there were nineteen disciples who entered the tunnel together. The fire set by those bastards lasted for three days and three nights, and eighteen of us suffocated to death. I was the only one who survived the pile of corpses! After the patriarch passed away, the elders of the Maoshan Sect had already anticipated this terrible situation. They secretly sent the patriarch's treasures down the mountain and hid them in this memorial hall. Later, I received the elder's will and secretly returned here. I accepted this useless disciple and lived in seclusion for eighteen years. "
