Chapter 253 Zhenwu Taihe "Is this the outside world?" The girl looked at the dim world in front of her that could not distinguish between heaven and earth. There was some disappointment in her tone, but more of it was excitement. For her, as long as she left the bone castle behind her and left that room, everything would be fine. "No." Jiang Lin walked over with a smile and stood beside the girl. Facing her puzzled gaze, he said with a smile: "This is just a small world, a gap between the underworld and the world of the living." "The gap? Between the living and the dead?" The girl tilted her head. "The so-called gap is..." Jiang Lin was not surprised and gave a detailed introduction to the structure of the three realms. These things, which were not even common sense for cultivators, made the girl listen with great interest. She carefully wrote down every word Jiang Lin said.

She has an absurdly strong status and possesses terrifying power, but she never mobilizes that power on her own initiative. The girl wanted to feel, see, smell and experience the world for herself, rather than having her spiritual consciousness take in everything. "Let's go, I'll take you to the human world." Jiang Lin smiled and pointed forward, saying this to the girl. "Uh-huh." The girl nodded excitedly and followed Jiang Lin with a cheerful step. The girl walked all the way to the entrance of the gray world where Jiang Lin came in, but suddenly stopped and stared at a certain place. Jiang Lin frowned and looked in the direction the girl was looking. Right next to the entrance, stood a woman wearing a star robe and with a face as gentle as water. Tan Mengze, a celestial being who should have died at the hands of Jiang Lin, appeared so naturally. If it weren't for the girl's actions, Jiang Lin wouldn't even have noticed the existence of Tan Mengze. In fact, it was not until Jiang Lin's eyes finally fell on the place where Tan Mengze was standing that he discovered that there was actually a person standing there. This made Jiang Lin take a closer look at Tan Mengze. He was very sure that he had indeed killed a Tan Mengze before, but now, another one appeared, and Jiang Lin could not see any difference. In other words, at least from Jiang Lin's perspective, the Tan Mengze he first met, the Tan Mengze who was killed by him not long ago, and the Tan Mengze in front of him now are the same person. Is it the magical power of the clone? Or is it some more advanced transformation ability that can replicate the soul as well? But if one wants to achieve this level, one would probably need supreme magical powers like the legendary Seventy-two Transformations and Eight-Nine Profound Arts, right? If Tan Mengze really had that kind of magical power, Jiang Lin would have been the one who died long ago. Although Jiang Lin was confused, he didn't think too much about it. After all, the Three Realms were very large, and there must be too many strange and unusual skills that he had not seen before. What's more, with the background of the Tianren system, it is only normal to have some amazing people in the pocket.

After all, the Tianren system is a powerful force in heaven that is able to layout the three realms. The appearance of Tan Mengze in front of him also proved Jiang Lin’s previous guess that Tan Mengze was not just a simple low-level tool. There are other theories about its origin. "Sister Meng..." The girl looked at Tan Mengze, pursed her lips, and finally greeted him with a smile. "Sister, you've been deceived." Tan Mengze didn't even look at Jiang Lin, he just smiled and said to the girl: "The guy next to you is not a good person, he is lying to you, be good and come back with me." The words were not very polite, but they carried a kind of fake reprimand from an elder sister to her younger sister, hoping that the younger sister would "repent and return to the right path." Jiang Lin watched quietly from the side without saying a word. Hearing this, the girl looked at Sister Meng in front of her and said softly, "Sister Meng, I have a question. If you tell me the answer, I will go back with you." "it is good." Tan Mengze smiled and nodded, took two steps forward, and said with a smile: "Don't say it's just one, even if it's a hundred or a thousand, as long as you go back with me, I will agree to it." Her watery eyes were filled with doting, and her every move, every frown and smile was perfect. No one could see the fear and resentment towards Jiang Lin beneath her gentle appearance. But in the girl's eyes, these things were like black charcoal on the white snow, clearly visible. The girl stared into Sister Meng's eyes and asked softly, "My name." "what?" Tan Mengze was stunned for a moment. "I said, what's my name?" The girl's voice was very soft, without any emotion, she just said calmly: "I told you I wanted you to give me a name, but you didn't." "Now, I want a name." Tan Mengze just felt it was ridiculous, and subconsciously thought in his heart, you want a name? I don't even know what kind of existence you are, and you still want a name? She thought to herself and smiled, "Be good, sister. Follow me back. I'll give you a nice name. Okay?" The girl stared at her without saying a word. Time passed by little by little, and finally, the gentle expression on Tan Mengze's face could no longer be maintained and slowly disappeared. The girl also withdrew her gaze, turned her head and asked Jiang Lin: "Can you give me a name?" Tan Mengze looked at Jiang Lin suddenly. She didn't understand what was happening, nor did she know why the girl suddenly became so dependent on Jiang Lin. According to their plan, Jiang Lin should have died in the room on the second floor of the Bone Castle, at the hands of the girl. However, no matter what happened that led to the scene before him, Tan Mengze knew that he could not continue like this.

With this thought, Tan Mengze's mind raced, and she smiled and said, "Sister, I've thought of a name for you, it's..." "Why should I name you?" Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jiang Lin. Jiang Lin looked at the girl in confusion and said as a matter of course: "You are not a child, nor are you my junior." "Naming is your own business. What does it have to do with me?" Hearing this, Tan Mengze was shocked. She forced a smile and wanted to say something to make amends, but found that she couldn't open her mouth no matter what. A speechless, extremely terrifying pressure appeared on her without her noticing. The girl did not look at Tan Mengze, but looked at Jiang Lin deeply and said with a smile: "Okay, but you have to explain it to me." "it is good." Jiang Lin nodded and agreed, pointing to the entrance of the Gray Realm not far behind Tan Mengze, and said, "Shall we go?" "Walk." The girl smiled and nodded, followed Jiang Lin, and walked side by side in the direction where Tan Mengze was. Tan Mengze was still trapped in the same place. She tried to mobilize her magic power, but it was like a pool of stagnant water. She wanted to activate her magical powers, but she couldn't do it no matter what. When she reached her side, the girl didn't even glance at her. Jiang Lin was eager to make a move. Although he didn't know how Tan Mengze did it, he also didn't know whether killing the person in front of him, who was not sure whether it was a clone or an incarnation, would have any impact on Tan Mengze himself. But, what if? What if the person in front of me is Tan Mengze’s real body? Although the possibility is very small, it won't be difficult to just chop it with a sword, right? Jiang Lin was ready to make a move. He looked at the girl and asked, "Can I cut her with my sword? Just one sword." He used a negotiating tone, a bit like bargaining: "If it really doesn't work, a punch will do." "it's useless." The girl looked at the entrance to the gray world in front of her and said without raising her head: "Sister Meng has never appeared in her true form... at least I haven't seen it." "Even if you chop this incarnation into eighteen pieces, Sister Meng will not be hurt." Hearing this, Jiang Lin glanced at Tan Mengze who was frozen in place and asked, "Then how can we really kill her?" The girl finally raised her head, looked at Jiang Lin helplessly, and said, "I won't tell you, go ask someone else." "I have called her sister for a long time, but now you ask me why I killed her?" Jiang Lin smacked his lips with some regret, and said: "Forget it, I'll go ask the old..." Before he finished speaking, a burst of black energy suddenly burst out from the entrance and exit of the gray world in front of him. Jiang Lin looked over subconsciously, and in just a moment he knew that this was the aura of his old man. "What is this? It looks like you." The girl looked at Jiang Lin in confusion. Jiang Lin thought for a moment and said, "My master, it seems that he wants to invite you to be his guest?"

"Why invite me instead of picking you up?" The girl blinked and asked. Jiang Lin said helplessly: "Because if he was looking for me, the old man would have dragged me over directly, not like now." "puff……" The girl couldn't help but burst out laughing and couldn't help but say, "Your master is so funny." Jiang Lin shook his head speechlessly and asked, "Then let's go over and take a look?" "Okay." The girl agreed readily. Then, he took the lead and walked into the entrance filled with black energy, and Jiang Lin followed closely behind. As soon as he entered, Jiang Lin sensed a spatial fluctuation. It was obvious that this entrance had been tampered with by his old man. It no longer leads to the Baosheng Temple at the foot of Tiesha Mountain, but to another place. After about a few breaths, Jiang Lin stood firm, looked around, and found that he was now at the top of a mountain. The mountain is extremely majestic, with peaks rising one after another not far away. Rich spiritual energy mixed with the qi of incense fills the entire mountain. Even if you look at the entire Three Realms, this is also a top-notch paradise. Jiang Lin thought so in his heart, and as he gathered and expanded his spiritual thoughts, he immediately knew where this place was. "Wudang Mountain..." Jiang Lin looked at the lush scenery around him, muttering to himself, and at the same time looked left and right, but he couldn't find the old man. Even the girl disappeared. He seemed to be the only one here. Why did the old man send himself here? Jiang Lin thought silently in his heart, although the old man is not very reliable most of the time, the origin of the girl is not only related to West Kunlun, but also most likely related to the Queen Mother of the West. In this case, the old man would not play tricks. "Wudang Mountain..." Jiang Lin once again muttered about his current location. Although it was his first time in this area, he couldn't say that he was completely unfamiliar with it. After all, when I was in Qiyun Mountain, I met a fellow Taoist named Li from Taihe Palace in Wudang Mountain. Moreover, Wudang Mountain is the ancestral home of Zhenwu, and the lineage inherited by Jiang Lin is from the same sect but different schools, and the relationship is like broken bones but connected tendons. 'Snapped……' Suddenly, Jiang Lin slapped himself on the forehead, smiled bitterly and said, "Damn it, I actually forgot about this." He was not acting crazy for no reason, but he suddenly remembered that when he was in Kyoto, Chen Qingning had sent him a letter and told him three things.

One of them was that the Taoist master Zhenzhu of Taisu Palace asked Chen Qingning to tell Jiang Lin that when he had nothing else to do, he must go to the Taihe Hall in Wudang Mountain. As for Jiang Lin, he had completely forgotten about this matter. If he hadn't been sent to Wudang Mountain by the old man, he might not have remembered it... and many more…… Jiang Lin's thoughts suddenly stopped and he realized a problem. Even when I was in Kyoto, I was an accomplished cultivator with an extremely sharp mind. Why did I forget about this? And it was Master Zhenzhu who specifically reminded me about the matters concerning Mount Wudang? Jiang Lin blinked. He did not waste time examining himself, because if there was really a problem here, the old man would not have said nothing. What's more, the reason why I am here now is because of the old man. So…… Jiang Lin looked at the mountain road going down not far away and walked over. Not long after walking, Jiang Lin saw a palace complex in front of him. The abundant incense and merits that were almost visible to the naked eye demonstrated the extraordinary nature of the Dharma lineage here. Nowadays, the most prominent lineage of the North Pole in the world is the Zhenwu lineage. Jiang Lin sighed in his heart and stepped forward. In front of him was an archway with five big characters "Dayue Taihe Palace" inscribed on it. This place is the most prosperous, original and strongest of the many Zhenwu lineages on Mount Wudang, the Dayue Taihe Palace. "Blessings and blessings are immeasurable." "Where does this fellow Taoist come from?" As Jiang Lin walked to the foot of the archway, a disciple on duty came to greet him, bowed to him, and asked with a smile. "Blessings and blessings are immeasurable." Jiang Lin returned the greeting and said with a smile, "I am Jiang Xuanying, the abbot of Ziwei Temple in Longjing Mountain, Hangzhou. I came to your temple to fulfill the appointment entrusted by Taoist Zhenzhuo of Taisu Palace in Qiyun Mountain." The disciple on duty was stunned when he heard this. Of course he knew Taisu Palace. Taoist Master Zhenzhu had also seen it before. And the name of the Taoist friend in green before him gave him a sense of familiarity. It seems that I have heard the elders in the temple talk about it? He was a little uncertain, but he didn't think too much about it. He said, "In that case, please tell me which Taoist priest in Huangguan you came to see at the request of Taoist Master Zhenzhu. I can also inform you a little bit." "This... I don't know either." Jiang Lin smiled and shook his head, with a hint of helplessness in that smile. The disciple on duty saw this, but did not feel embarrassed. Instead, he nodded in sympathy. Obviously, Jiang Lin was not the only one who had been riddled by the elders. Every family has a Taoist elder who loves to play dumb. "Then please follow me, and let's go to the main hall first. Then I will take you around. I think it won't be long before a Taoist master who wants to see you will show up." The disciple on duty was obviously experienced. "Thanks for your hard work."

Jiang Lin smiled and nodded, then followed the disciple through the archway and walked towards the Taihe Palace. After climbing a section of mountain road, the view suddenly opens up to an extremely spacious square. At the end of the square are steps that are high but not steep. On top of the steps stands a large hall, which is the Hall of Supreme Harmony. According to legend, this is the place where the Great Emperor Zhenwu lived when he descended to the human world. As the saying goes, enjoy the quietness of Wudang Mountain and the comfort of Taihe Hall. "Fellow Taoist, please." The disciple on duty took Jiang Lin into the Hall of Supreme Harmony and took out three agarwood sticks and handed them to Jiang Lin. Jiang Lin thanked him, straightened his clothes, and took the incense. When arriving at Wudang Mountain, one naturally has to pay homage to the Great Emperor Zhenwu. This Great Emperor is not only a great god of the Arctic series, but strictly speaking, he is even the boss of the Black Law Mage. The Black Law says: All judges are ordered by the Northern Emperor to serve in Taixuan, and they follow the True Martial God to pay homage to the Emperor. Previously in Ziwei Star Palace, Wei Fazu also reminded us that if we, the Black Law Masters, were to meet the Emperor in the Star Palace, we should stand on the left, behind Zhenwu. To be honest, the functions of the Great Emperor Zhenwu and a group of Black Law Mages in the North Pole are very similar. They are all practical people who are willing to draw their knives and start fighting, and they don't talk nonsense at all. Thinking in his mind, Jiang Lin walked forward to the statue of Zhenwu Emperor. Just as he was about to bow down, a divine light suddenly flashed before his eyes. In the eyes of the disciple on duty, as soon as Fellow Daoist Jiang walked over, he saw a divine light shining from the majestic eyes of the ancestor statue, covering Fellow Daoist Jiang. Before he could come to his senses, the divine light went out, and Fellow Daoist Jiang disappeared. The disciple on duty blinked subconsciously, stared blankly at the statue of the founder, and then ran out in a flash. "Master Abbot! Master Abbot!" "A fellow Taoist has been taken away by the Grandmaster!" (End of this chapter)
