Double Journey to the West: Suppress Buddhism and Taoism at the beginning

Chapter 2 Journey to the West, the Three Immortals of Chechi Kingdom?

A flash of white light flashed, and Lin Yao's figure emerged from a dilapidated temple.

The Taoist temple was desolate, with dust everywhere, and the sacrifices in front of the statue of Sanqing had been decaying for who knows how many years.

"What is this place? Could it be Jingyang Temple?"

Lin Yao was stunned for a moment. Everything around him had changed, except for the statue of the Three Pure Ones.

But when he looked again, he realized that this was no longer his Jingyang View.

"What is this place?"

Lin Yao lowered his head. He didn't understand, but he could feel that this matter was related to the ring on his wrist.

Lin Yao saw the clues at a glance.

The stone ring that was sparkling before was now dull.

“It brought me to this place.”

Lin Yao murmured to himself, he was already sure that it was this ring.

Lin Yao looked at it for a long time, but couldn't see anything weird about this ring.

He had no choice but to look around.

This Taoist temple is very dilapidated and dirty, with thick dust everywhere and even spider webs. It seems that no one has been here for a long time.

Lin Yao couldn't help but left the temple and looked outside.

As soon as he went out, Lin Yao felt something was wrong, because he felt an extremely dry breath.

"Where is this place? It's definitely not Jingyangguan. Even if it is Jingyangguan, it can't be as dry as it is now!"

Moreover, it is still night, not day yet.

For those with keen senses, the dryness of the surrounding air is easily noticeable.

Lin Yao looked up and saw that the leaves on the trees at the entrance of the temple were withered and yellow, and there was no longer the greenery before.

Also, there are very few trees here.

"What is this place?"

Lin Yao muttered and took out his mobile phone, but did not receive any signal.

He looked back at Jingyang Temple, but found nothing.

However, he did bring a lot of things, including his own talismans, scriptures, and official seals, all packed in a cloth bag.

Lin Yao packed up his things and planned to take a look at the surrounding situation before making a decision.

At this moment, a loud voice came from outside the Taoist temple.

"I wonder if there are any Taoist friends in the temple??"

"Huh?" He was slightly startled.

Lin Yao was shocked and couldn't help but look outside the Taoist temple.

Outside the Taoist temple, there were three Taoists wearing Taoist robes. One of them had a goatee. One gave people a sense of calmness and self-reliance, while the other had a calm face and no beard.

When Lin Yao saw these three Taoists, the three Taoists also noticed Lin Yao.
  The majestic Taoist laughed and said: "It seems that this Taoist temple also has Taoist friends. We thought this Taoist temple was an abandoned place. We came to clean it up and worship the founder of Sanqing."

After saying that, the majestic old Taoist said again: "But since we are all of the same Taoism, I wonder if you can allow me to go and worship the Patriarch of the Sanqing Dynasty?"

Lin Yao was a little surprised. This man spoke in a gentle manner, like a true Taoist priest.

The calculation in his heart lasted only a moment, and Lin Yao quickly said: "Of course."

"Good work."

The mighty Taoist priest bowed his hands to Lin Yao and said, "My name is Hu Li, and these are my junior brothers Yang Li and Lu Li."

"Tiger power? Sheep power?" Lin Yao was slightly stunned. His eyes were a little dull. He just felt that the names of these three Taoists were not only strange, but also very familiar!

"Dare you ask your Taoist number?" Taoist Huli spoke again!
  "My name is Mingyang." Lin Yao replied.

"Ming Yang?" He was slightly startled.

The three Taoists looked at each other, and they all saw a bit of surprise in each other's eyes.

"Could it be said that fellow Taoist disciple Zhang Daoling is a disciple of Zhang Tianshi?"

"Exactly." Lin Yao nodded.

To say that the Jingyang Temple that Lin Yao just entered is indeed of the Zhengyi lineage. In modern society, Taoism is almost unified and the relationships are complicated. If you can pick up any Taoist priest and say that it is the Zhengyiyi lineage and the direct descendant of the Heavenly Master, it will be no problem!
  Lin Yao answered readily, but the three veterans were shocked!
  They are not ignorant people. Naturally, they know that after Zhengyi Sect Zhang Tianshi Zhang Daoling, in terms of seniority, he is "Ming"!
  Zhengyi’s seniority is:

Upholding the Tao is wise and kind, and Taihe Quanzhen is important.

Xuan Yudian is sincere and plays Jinke Zhongzheng.

"Chong Han Tong Yuanyun, Da Luo Gao Hongding."

"The three mountains are more prosperous, and the floods are full of blessings."

The Qionglu opens up the wonderful truth, and the surrounding world becomes the capital of immortals.

Therefore, these three Taoists in front of them thought that the protagonist was the next generation disciple of Zhang Daoling in Zhengyi Sect!

Therefore, the three Taoists identified Lin Yao as Zhang Daoling's junior!
  You must know that Zhang Daoling is one of the four great heavenly masters of Taoism, and he is a heavenly master personally canonized by the founder of the Sanqing Dynasty. His status is only lower than that of the Jade Emperor.

Even the Tongming Palace, where the Jade Emperor enjoys incense in the mortal world, is enshrined in the four heavenly masters, which shows how high the status of the four heavenly masters in Taoism is!
  Lin Yao's Taoist name is second only to Zhang Daoling in seniority!
  None of the three old Taoist priests expected that Lin Yao's seniority had been rotated for who knows how many generations, so he was able to take advantage of it now, with the word "ming" in his Taoist title.

"The strength of the tiger, the strength of the deer, the strength of the sheep."

Lin Yao murmured to himself. He always felt that the name sounded familiar.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, and he remembered something deeply memorable.

"Great Immortal of Sheep Power, Great Immortal of Tiger Power? Great Immortal of Deer Power?"

Lin Yao suddenly shouted, and then he realized why the names of these two people were so familiar.

"Uh..." Lin Yao was a little speechless. No wonder he sounded familiar. These are actually the three great immortals from Chechi Kingdom in Journey to the West.

As soon as Lin Yao said this, the three veterans were stunned.

Great Immortal Hu Li said: "Fellow Taoist is laughing at me. We are just shouting in front of outsiders with this title of great immortal. But we dare not let fellow Taoist call us like this?"

"Yeah yeah."

"Fellow Taoist, don't ask me to wait for the Great Immortal." Great Immortal Yangli also said quickly.

All this is because Lin Yao's Taoist name is too terrifying to them.

If Zhang Tianshi's junior has a Taoist name, he must be a Taoist official who has been conferred by him.

"Three fellow Taoists, could this be Chechi Country?"

Lin Yao didn't care about the attitudes of the three people, but asked quickly.

"Yes, this is Chechi Country."

"Do you know, fellow Taoist, that this is Chechi Country? Isn't it possible that fellow Taoist came here to solve the drought in Chechi Country?"

"My brothers and I, seeing the drought here, want to raise the emperor's monument and cast rain to restore peace here and make our Taoism prosper!"

Lin Yao was completely stunned.

The idea was all over his head.

"Did I travel through time?"

"Is this Journey to the West?"

"Did I see three monsters and immortals in Chechi Country?"
