Starting Cultivation During a Trip-Chapter 285 - 164: Zhang Fan and Hai Pig! Crushing Barehanded

Chapter 285: Chapter 164: Zhang Fan and Hai Pig! Crushing Barehanded

Three Corpses Daoist, who in the world can be his match, a top-tier figure in the Daoist Sect.

Since the Jiazi Demon-Vanquishing, this name has gradually been buried by the sands of time. Only those old friends from the Daoist Sect know of his past grandeur, his infamous reputation, unmatched across the land.

Zhang Fan heard the name "Three Corpses Daoist" here and wasn’t surprised, but what was curious was that this name came from a tour guide.

"Who are you? How do you know about the Three Corpses Daoist?" Zhang Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the girl in front of him.

"Tour guide."

"Fellow Daoist?"

"Tour guide... local guide... the kind that charges..." Lin Jianyue’s pretty face showed a sweet smile, demonstrating her profound professionalism.

As she spoke, Lin Jianyue took out a booklet from her backpack, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Zhang Fan.

"Luoxia Mountain Tourist Guide!?"

Zhang Fan was stunned for a moment, then saw Lin Jianyue flip to a page with legends about the "Imprisoned Immortal Temple". In the bottom right corner was a special introduction to the Three Corpses Daoist.

"Birth and death unknown, ancestral lineage unknown, place of origin unknown, suspected to have built the "Imprisoned Immortal Temple"..."

"Hmm!? So... not avoiding people’s eyes anymore?" Zhang Fan’s expression became strange as he looked at this.

"Is there a problem?" Lin Jianyue asked in reply.

"This..."

"Brother, where in tourism do they not invent some stories? Otherwise, how would you attract visitors?" Lin Jianyue lowered her voice, casually taking back the booklet.

"Can I take a look at this guide?" Zhang Fan couldn’t help but ask.

"Sure, fifty bucks each." Lin Jianyue nodded.

"Fifty? Why don’t you just rob me?" Zhang Fan’s eyes widened; this small booklet was only palm-sized, and the cost was probably just two bucks.

"Look at what you’re saying, robbing is much slower, and besides, it’s illegal." Lin Jianyue looked sincerely at Zhang Fan with her shiny black eyes.

"Scan!"

Zhang Fan’s eye twitched, and he gritted his teeth, taking out his phone.

"Thank you for your patronage!"

Lin Jianyue’s eyes turned into crescent moons, smiling as she opened her backpack. Zhang Fan peeked inside, feeling overwhelmed; there were at least thirty or even forty booklets.

Zhang Fan took the booklet and flipped through it, immediately feeling dumbfounded. The introduction about the "Imprisoned Immortal Temple" was only on the page he had just seen.

"That’s it? Does this count as a scam?" Zhang Fan rolled his eyes.

"Do you want to know about the Imprisoned Immortal Temple?" Lin Jianyue asked thoughtfully.

"You know about it?"

Lin Jianyue nodded, extending a hand with long, slender fingers slowly stretching out.

"What do you mean?"

"Fifty."

"You even charge for directions?"

"Brother, look at what you’re saying; asking for directions is also a service. I’m providing you with a service, only charging you fifty, is it too much?" Lin Jianyue said pitifully.

"Scan." Zhang Fan gritted his teeth, figuring he could get reimbursed later.

"Brother is really generous." Lin Jianyue’s eyes turned into crescent moons again, smiling.

"Speak up."

"The ’Imprisoned Immortal Temple’ is right here in Luoxia Mountain..." Lin Jianyue began.

"..."

"Can you say something I don’t know?" Zhang Fan squinted.

"However, it’s just a legend; no one has ever seen the Daoist temple..." Lin Jianyue whispered.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Fan frowned.

"Luoxia Mountain has always had the legend of the ’Imprisoned Immortal Temple’. Decades ago, an old Daoist came here, found an immortal fallen in the mountain, and built a Daoist temple to imprison it inside..."

"But for so many years, no one has found that Daoist temple, except for a few mountaineers who claim to have seen it..." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Some say that ordinary people cannot find that Daoist temple nor touch it. Only with special fate can one find the unique path to it." Lin Jianyue spoke softly.

Zhang Fan remained silent. Famous mountains and rivers across the world have had legends of Immortal Mansions and Grotto Heaven Blessed Lands since ancient times.

Yet these places, hidden within deep mountains, seem like secret realms, having only Primordial Spirit Awakening and fateful encounters can truly discover them.

Right now, he thought of a legend about East Yue Taishan.

There is a rumor that East Yue Taishan is a place where the mortal world’s birth and death is governed. Birth arises here, and death enters through here, thus the entrance to the Netherworld is hidden in East Yue Taishan.

However, there is only one way to that entrance. Through boundless seas of fog and towering mountains, finding it is a rarity among millions.

Years ago, news came out that a group of backpackers went on an expedition, didn’t follow the safety path, and went off track. The fog got heavier, and they eventually lost direction. When they were rescued, of the dozen people, only two remained, and they had gone mad...

They said up on the mountain, they saw a group of ancient armored soldiers on the move, accompanied by flags fluttering, faintly seeing a road hidden in the clouds, and the end of the road seemed to have a colossal thing...

Some say they found the road to the entrance of the Netherworld.

But that road is not for the living, surviving it must be like smoke rising from your ancestral tomb.

"Brother, brother..."

At this moment, Lin Jianyue’s voice pulled Zhang Fan’s thoughts back.

"So, the Imprisoned Immortal Temple doesn’t really exist?" Zhang Fan said coolly.

"Not necessarily..."

Lin Jianyue shook her head and then pointed to the street beside them.

"See, it’s the off-season now, so there’s less traffic. During peak seasons, every so often, people dressed like Daoists appear in the town. Some say they come down from the mountain."

"From up the mountain..." Zhang Fan mused, instinctively looking toward the Luoxia Mountain behind him.

"The locals say those Daoists come from the ’Imprisoned Immortal Temple’... But some say they’re just disguised as tourists by the scenic area staff to add credibility to the legend, thereby attracting more visitors." Lin Jianyue said with a light smile.
