The Records of the Grand Historian recorded, "In the twelfth month, Wushuo, Shangqin Chan Gaoli, Temple Houtu." There used to be a grand temple in Haoli Mountain, also known as the Senluo Temple.
Later, in the Tomb Suppressing Certificate unearthed from the tombs of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a saying, "Living people belong to West Chang 'an and dead people belong to Mount Tai".
The God of Mount Tai was in charge of life and death.
…
At the Mount Tai Railway Station, Momo, who was carrying two bags of luggage, was carefully looking at the travel map he bought after getting off the train.
Although there was a Penglai Conference every ten years in the world of cultivation, it was always his master who participated in it. Now, Momo was a greenhorn and this was his first time here. He had only heard about many things from his master and had never experienced it himself. Therefore, he was somewhat nervous.
"Well … there's a tour bus over there. That's good." Momo checked the route and said, "Zhan Er, we don't have time to sit down and eat. How about buying some dry food and eating on the bus? Zhan Er … Zhan Er? "
But the little Taoist who followed Momo from Senior Yang Taizi's place was gone!
This made the young Taoist master of Dragon Tiger Mountain anxious — if he lost him, he didn't know how to explain to his master's good friend, Senior Yang Taizi.
Momo subconsciously opened his bag and took out a paper crane — Dragon Tiger Mountain had a lot of Qimen Dun Jia techniques, including the method of searching for people.
However, the railway station was crowded, so Momo was in a dilemma … It would be very troublesome if people saw it.
In the current era, the Dao World was different from the previous era. People in the Dao World were detached from worldly affairs and the imperial court couldn't control them … but now, the control was quite strict.
First, because of the prosperity of science and technology, ordinary people could easily obtain the power to deal with Taoist cultivators — Compared to these mass-produced scientific products, the Dao World that needed to be carefully selected to find a successor was really powerless.
Besides, it was the era of humanity. After the war, Xin Country was protected by great luck. No matter if it was the once prosperous Demon World or the long-established Dao World, they had to be careful.
When Momo went down the mountain, he got a 'travel permit' from his master.
This permit came from a department in charge of management in the country. As for why the people in the Dao World and the Demon World who possessed many Dharma spells had to accept such management, it was naturally because this department had a power that both the Dao World and the Demon World had to fear.
This was because the Shinryū of Chellona, the protector of Chellona, was the highest advisor of this department.
…
Fortunately, Momo soon found Zhan Er.
Although Momo had experienced Zhan Er's temper along the way, he still had an indescribable feeling when he saw Zhan Er squatting in front of a goldfish stall.
How on earth did Senior Yang Taizi raise him?
"Ten yuan for one! Buy 5 and get a free fish tank! "The boss rubbed his hands and looked at Momo," Last 5! "
Momo shook his head. At this moment, Zhan Er who was hugging his knees suddenly raised his head and blinked his eyes, making Momo feel a little weak.
How could he have such sparkling eyes … so dazzling!
"I … I know!" Momo couldn't help sighing, "I can only buy one, there are too many … I know, I know, buy all of them."
Finally, Momo gave in.
In fact, it wasn't the first time that he succumbed to Zhan Er's sparkling eyes.
At this moment, after selling the last goldfish, the boss started to pack up the stall while Zhan Er held the goldfish tank, looking quite happy.
"You're satisfied, but do you plan to carry this goldfish tank all the time?" Momo said grumpily.
"Hee hee, it's not troublesome." Zhan Er smiled.
Momo was going to say something, but at this moment, he suddenly felt that someone was approaching him on purpose. And there was more than one.
"Zhan Er, come to me." Momo frowned, saying in a low voice. At the same time, he grabbed Zhan Er's arm and walked quickly to the crowd.
However, before he took a few steps, the road in front of him was blocked by a man in a black suit. Momo stopped. At this moment, not only in front, but also in the back and left, there were men in the same suit.
In the blink of an eye, he and Zhan Er were surrounded by these four men.
"Friend, I don't think I know you?" Momo glanced at them and sneered.
The man in front of him suddenly put his hand into his clothes — this action made Momo vigilant.
However, to Momo's surprise, this man didn't take out any weapon, but a phone instead. The man glanced at the phone and said, "You're Mr. Momo, right? You're the representative of the Celestial Master Sect from Mount Longhu. "
"You are …" Momo was surprised.
The other party said faintly, "I'm Ling Feng, you can call me Captain Ling. This is our ID, we're from the Land Management Bureau of Special Countries. "
Momo gaped. He already knew where these people came from … The so-called Land Management Bureau of Special Countries was the Russian special department that supervised the Dao World and the Demon World.
"Oh … is that so?" Momo nodded, saying, "But even if you're from this department, I didn't do anything bad and didn't cause panic among the people. Even if you're from this department … you don't have a reason to block me here, do you?"
Ling Feng smiled faintly, saying in a neither servile nor overbearing tone, "Mr. Momo, we don't mean to block you. The reason why we appear in front of you is just to better manage this Penglai and maintain the order during this conference as the meeting affairs. "
"… Huh." Momo opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
Ling Feng said directly, "In fact, we've already prepared accommodations for everyone. So this time, we're here to invite Mr. Momo."
"Has someone already moved in?" Momo thought for a while.
Ling Feng said politely, "In fact, Mr. Momo, you should be the last batch of participants. Big sects such as Wudang, Qingcheng Mountain, Quanzhen Sect and Zhengyi School have also moved in. "
Momo took out the ID and carefully compared it with the steel seal on his pass before nodding, "Okay, please lead the way."
"This way, please, we've prepared the car."
…
Momo and Zhan Er quickly followed Ling Feng and got on a domestic Hongqi car. They set off from the railway station and soon came to a villa.
Momo inquired about a lot of things along the way.
For example, in Mount Tai, there was a villa specially built for people from the Dao World to attend the Penglai Conference — It was built after the founding of the country. However, the Penglai Conference was held every ten years and this villa was used for the eighth time.
Crouching Dragon Villa — the destination that Ling Feng led them to.
Not far away, about four or five kilometers away, there was another villa called Kunpeng, which was specially built for guests from the Demon World to gather and live.
"Congratulations to the success of the Penglai Tea Party and Health Forum in XX World!"
When he saw such a banner hanging in front of Crouching Dragon Villa, Momo finally spat out the curse he had been suppressing in his heart for a long time.
This was totally different from the grand event held every ten years in the Dao World and Demon World in his imagination!
For example, when Ling Feng led them to the prepared rooms, Momo saw such a scene when they passed by a conference room.
On the stage, a man in a gray robe was holding a microphone and holding an electronic pointer, pointing at a sentence in 'Quotations of Absolute Truth' that was projected on the screen. Below the stage, a group of guys in colorful clothes were immersed in taking notes.
This scene made Momo stand stupidly in front of the conference room for more than ten seconds.
"Daoist friend, if you're interested, please come in from the back. There are still seats in the back, so don't disturb everyone, okay? "The man in a gray robe said with a smile.
"Sorry to disturb you!" Momo closed the door of the conference room immediately.
If it was somewhere else, Momo might think that this was a scammer's trick. However, he could clearly feel that the magic power in this meeting room was surging. There were at least three fellows whose magic power was not weaker than his …
At this moment, Ling Feng said, "Mr. Momo, it's fine if you want to listen to the lecture. Anyway, your check-in is done … This is your room card."
"No, no need, I'll go back to my room first …" Momo shook his head, "I want to be alone."
"Hmm, where's your companion?" Ling Feng looked around in surprise and found that the young man who was following Momo with a goldfish bowl had disappeared.
Momo acted as if he didn't find it strange.
He didn't know why either. Zhan Er's cultivation was clearly very low, but he was always able to silently escape from the lock of his aura.
"Sorry, my companion is a bit playful, I can't watch him." Momo smiled bitterly, "But he usually won't go far, so he should still be in the villa."
"That's not good." Ling Feng said worriedly, "Mr. Momo, you know that the guests aren't ordinary people. Some of them have weird tempers and rules. Even we have to be careful."
"Let's look for him, he should be nearby." Momo said helplessly.
…
In fact, Momo found Zhan Er quickly in the ornamental garden of the villa.
When Momo and Ling Feng found Zhan Er, they found that he was squatting in front of a small lotus pond in the garden, pouring the goldfish into the pond.
"Why did you run away without saying anything again?" Momo knocked on Zhan Er's head.
But this guy only giggled … It was really hard to be angry with him.
"What are you doing here?" Momo sighed, seeing Zhan Er's action, he was puzzled, "Didn't you just buy them? Don't you want them?"
Don't buy them if you don't want them … It's hard to make money, brother!
Zhan Er said, "En! I don't want them, let them stay here. "
"Why?" Momo gave a start.
Zhan Er blinked, saying matter-of-factly, "Because this place is much bigger than the fish tank."
"You …" Momo frowned, "You didn't plan to let them go at the beginning, did you?"
Zhan Er nodded, looking at those goldfish swimming away. He supported his cheeks with his hands, "I feel that they are happier now."
"They are happy …" Momo said with a pained expression.
Zhan Er suddenly asked, "Brother Momo, why did the boss catch them and sell them?"
"Doing business, to make money." Momo said subconsciously, "If someone has this need, someone will do it. If someone likes to raise goldfish, there will be someone who sells goldfish. Everyone takes what they need. Isn't that normal? "
Zhan Er was puzzled, "But if so, goldfish also have needs, then who will satisfy them?"
"Goldfish …" Momo frowned, "How can they be compared with humans? They don't have intelligence, only simple instincts. They don't have needs, nor do they need anyone to satisfy them. Besides, even if they have their own thoughts, no one will care about it. En … Don't you like catching crickets? Have you ever thought about whether those crickets are willing to do it? "
"Ah? I let them go in the end. " Zhan Er tilted his head, "And I asked them, they were willing to play with me. So I caught them."
"You asked … you asked?" Momo was startled. It seemed that there was something important that could be dug out if he wanted to study it.
"Yes, what's the problem?"
There seemed to be something unusual about Zhan Er. It was reasonable to say that his intelligence was normal, but he was like a child who didn't know anything at this age … It was unknown what method did Yang Taizi use to teach him.
But Ling Feng was behind them, so Momo didn't intend to ask further, "No problem, let's go in. The rooms have been arranged for us."
"En, OK." Zhan Er nodded, standing up and suddenly asked, "Brother Momo, if one day we become goldfish and are caught to sell, will they not care about our feelings?"
"Are you stupid? Who will catch people to sell? It's not a slave society now. Besides, we can't become goldfish, and goldfish can't become us either. "
Zhan Er said, "But didn't you say as long as there's a need, someone will do it? Since some people like to raise goldfish, why don't they like to raise humans? If someone likes to raise humans, will we be caught and thrown into the goldfish bowl? And then no one will care about us? "
