Grandfather Tai was full of praise for his firm Taoist mind, so he handed him a secret record of Zhengyi Mengwei, a pair of male and female swords and a seal and said to him, "Recently, there are eight ghosts and gods in Shu, which have harmed the people. You should punish them for me, make people and ghosts clear, separate day and night, and benefit all beings. In this way, your merits are boundless and you can become an immortal. "
Zhang Daoling hurriedly ordered, led by master Wang Chang and others, heading for Shu. It is said that there were eight ghosts and gods in Shu at that time. Liu Yuanda specializes in treating miscellaneous diseases, Zhang specializes in treating pestilence, spreading dysentery, bell spreading sores and swelling, stone spreading malaria, Fan Juqing making people ache all over, Yao Gongbo spreading five poisons, and Li bringing madness.
They have hundreds of millions of ghost soldiers, harming the people everywhere, and countless people have been killed by their atrocities.
Zhang Daoling went to Shu and chose Qingcheng Mountain as the battlefield. When we arrived at Qingcheng Mountain, Zhang Daoling first set up a glass tower and lined it up as an altar to wait for eight GREAT GHOST handsome men. Soon after, GREAT GHOST led his troops to attack. At that time, sand and stones were flying and arrows were raining in the air.
I saw Zhang Daoling's finger turn into a lotus flower. Ghost soldiers lit countless torches, rushing, Zhang Daoling raised his hand a finger, but the fire burned to the ghost soldiers.
Seeing this from a distance, the ghosts and handsome men shouted, "You used to live in Mount Emei to cultivate immortals. Why did you come to occupy our territory?"
Zhang Daoling replied, "You ruined your life, so I was ordered by the old gentleman to punish you."
Liu Yuanda and others were so angry that they led the ghost soldiers to attack again and surrounded Zhang Daoling. Zhang Daoling drew an array in the air with a pen, and all the ghosts were trapped by this invisible array, so they couldn't afford to lose.
Eight GREAT GHOST handsome in front of him had to kowtow for mercy, Zhang Daoling will pen down, ghost soldiers are alive again. Zhang Daoling said to the ghostly handsome man, "Come and listen to your command. From now on, get out of here quickly and stop spreading diseases among people. "
Ghost Shuai argued: "It is our original duty to bring disaster to the people. How can we deprive them of this right? " Might as well leave half the venue for us to enjoy. "
Zhang Daoling refused, calling on them to withdraw.
Marshal Ghost was dissatisfied. The next day, he assembled six demons and led millions of ghost soldiers to attack again.
Zhang Daoling's entourage was surprised and said, "Ghost soldiers are fierce. How can we resist them? "
Zhang Daoling said, "Don't panic, watch me retreat from the enemy in an instant." So he drew it again, and the ghost still died on the spot, except for the six demon kings, but they all fell to the ground and couldn't get up, kowtowing for mercy.
Zhang Daoling forbid, with a wave of his hand, he chopped the mountain in front of him in half. The demon king couldn't fly over the mountain any more, and shouted, "We won't do evil again. Please beg for mercy. We will definitely live in the western world and never come here again. "
Zhang Daoling this just let them go, the rest of the ghost handsome, also said to be controlled. Still afraid of their dissatisfaction, Zhang Daoling said to them, "It seems that you are dissatisfied. I will give you another chance to compete. If you can beat me, you will be free. "
Liu Yuanda and other ghosts and handsome men listened to it, just to their own liking, and replied: "OK, that's it!"
Zhang Daoling ordered people to light a fire and throw it in, only to find violets growing under their feet and slowly coming out on the lotus. The ghost commander also took out his magic and jumped into the fire, but the magic was invalid and caught fire.
Zhang Daoling moves freely in wood, water, soil and stone, but the ghosts and handsome men run into a wall everywhere. In a rage, eight handsome men in GREAT GHOST became eight big tigers. Zhang Daoling turned into a giant lion and drove away the Eight Tigers. Ghost handsome turns into eight dragons to arrest people. Zhang Daoling turned himself into a golden-winged Dapeng bird that only ate dragons to peck at their eyes, so eight dragons had to flee hastily.
This has changed the way of fighting for a long time, and we see that ghosts and gods are close to the end of their skills. Zhang Daoling turned his finger, and a boulder weighing more than 10,000 kilograms was hung with lotus roots and hung over the ghost barracks. Then he turned into two mice and ran up to chew the lotus root. The boulder is about to fall, and the ghosts and handsome men pleaded with one voice: "Please spare us, we must stay away from this place and dare not harm the people again."
Zhang Daoling then ordered five parties, eight departments and six demons to join forces in Qingcheng Mountain. People live in death, ghosts live in shadows, the six ghost kings return to Fengdu, and the eight ghosts exile in the western regions.
Those ghosts are unwilling to leave such a good place. Zhang Daoling got angry, drew a symbol and sent it to the sky. In a short time, the storm and thunder roared, countless knives and arrows danced in the air, and the ghost soldiers fled without a trace.
Of course, there are no ghosts in this world, let alone Taoist priests who can exorcise ghosts. Most of this legend was invented by later generations to deify Zhang Daoling, but through this legend, we can also see the respect of the ancients for those who dared to kill the people.
Because Zhang Daoling lectured in Qingcheng Mountain, Qingcheng Mountain became one of the ancestral mountains of Shitiandao, and Shi Tian from all over the country would come here to worship the ancestral hall. Later, Shi Tian in Qingcheng Mountain was established and developed by Zhang Daoling and his descendants, and gradually spread to the whole country.
