Chapter 1 Returning as a Teenager

Wulong Ridge is named after the five peaks on the top of the mountain that are like dragons holding their heads.

For the villagers living at Wulong Ridge, from the day they were sensible, the villagers knew that there was a gourd temple on Wulong Ridge. However, compared with other famous mountain temples, the gourd temple on Wulong Ridge seems to be nameless.

Seven days ago, the old master of the Hulu Temple passed away unfortunately. Many villagers who received the favor of the Taoist temple spontaneously went up the mountain to pay their respects to their condolences, helping the young new master Hu Xuanzong to organize the funeral of the old master and bury him in the cemetery of the Taoist temple.

When going down the mountain, many older villagers looked at the ancient but desolate Taoist temple and sighed sadly: "This Taoist temple is probably going to be abandoned! Poor Taoist priest, I'm afraid I won't come back in the future!"

"Who said no! He is still so young, he can't be like the old Taoist priest, and he will always be in this brilliance, right?"

The Taoist priest Hu Xuanzong, who was mentioned by the villagers, knelt in front of the tombstone that had been buried for five days, with an extremely complicated expression. He was silent for a long time and said: "Master, Xuanzong is back! This time, you can really rest in peace!"

Hu Xuanzong, who buried the old Taoist priest and had to be filial for seven days according to custom, fainted because he was too sad. When he woke up again, he couldn't help but burst into tears when he saw the Taoist temple he was in. Unfortunately, the new master still couldn't see it.

The reason is that Hu Xuanzong, who was kneeling in front of the tomb at this moment, is no longer simply and cowardly. From his calm eyes, Yixi could see a bit of vicissitudes of life. This kind of eyes is not what he should have at his age.

Looking at the Wulong Ridge surrounded by clouds and mist, Hu Xuanzong, who had worshipped the masters of the past dynasties, sighed slowly: "Maybe in the dark, I belong to this mountain and this temple. Otherwise, why would I still be a young man when I went through thousands of sails?"

Thinking of the things he experienced before awakening, Hu Xuanzong sighed more and more about the mystery of Tao. Who would have thought that the Tao tomb that caused him to die would be the tomb of the ninth generation of the Gulu Temple? And he was the last eighty-one generation of the Guru Temple.

The so-called "One generation has two, two generations three", and three generations all things, all things change, and then recycle again and finally return to one another. The nine generations of the temple masters who had mysteriously disappeared with the treasures of the Taoist temple, actually became a giant in the cave world.

Hundreds of years later, Hu Xuanzong, the 81st generation of the sect, was also fortunate to enter the Cave Heaven Realm. From a servant of the Baicao Sect, he eventually grew into the inner elder of the sect. Before he woke up, he unfortunately died in the tomb of the nine generations of the sect.

Thinking back to the sigh before his death, the slight of "From there, go back there, this is not the place where you and I should come." Only then did Hu Xuanzong truly understand that his rebirth may be related to the inheritance of the nine generations of the temple masters and the treasures of the gourd.

"The Taoist temple was lost because the nine generations of the people who went to see the treasures in the temple disappeared suddenly, and eventually became a wilderness. At this moment, I can return after hardships. Perhaps it is the hope of the people who have passed the Taoist temples. The Taoist temple can be reborn in my hands!"

From the origin, going, and returning to the original state. This is not a simple cycle of reincarnation, but a spiritual sublimation, a life reconstruction, and a nirvana born from death, which should be a brand new starting point.

Turning around and looking at the Hulu Temple located halfway up the mountain, the copper paint on the exterior walls, the eaves of the corners of the hall, and the blue glazed tiles covered on the top have turned black. After hundreds of years of storms, Hulu Temple still stands tall.

"The world of great struggle is coming. If you want to keep this place of residence, you still need to think of some solutions!"

The people and things that emerged in his mind were still unforgettable when he recalled Hu Xuanzong. He thought about revenge countless times in his previous life, but he was unable to deal with those people at all. When he had the ability, he was already in the cave world and could not return.

Thinking about the way to go in the future, the phone in his pocket began to vibrate. Looking at the number displayed on the phone, Hu Xuanzong smiled a little, and said in a calm and complicated state of mind: "Old Liu, long time no see, is there anything?"

"Sanlang, can you come back today? The old classmate asked you specifically?"

"It's afternoon! I just finished the fragrance!"

"Okay! Don't be too sad. Although the old Taoist priest has left, you still have me as a brother!"

"Thank you! I won't say much, let's talk when I come back!"

Sanlang, a nickname that only knew when he was a classmate with Hu Xuanzong. The reason was that when someone learned that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, Li Longji, was named Sanlang, and those people also gave Hu Xuanzong such a nickname.

The young man who spoke to Hu Xuanzong was Liu Bo, the only playmate who had been a child, from Liujiazhuang, who was from Lingxia. From the first grade of elementary school to the third year of high school in the county, the two were either in the same class or in the same school, so their relationship was naturally very strong.

In his previous life, Hu Xuanzong, who was preparing for the college entrance examination, had the opportunity to get into the national key, but was depressed and only got a second-tier university entrance exam. He became a college student with a student loan, but in the end he embarked on the road of practicing Taoism.

In this life, Hu Xuanzong had decided to give up participating in the college entrance examination and return to the Taoist temple to be the master of the temple. In the past life, Hu Xuanzong, who had been on the path of cultivation and did not know that he had missed countless opportunities, decided to change his lifestyle and practice in this life.

"Hulu Temple is mine, and Wulong Ridge is mine. In this life, I want to see who dares to take my mountain gate!"

Hu Xuanzong, who made the decision, thought that it would take money to repair the Taoist temple, and the money saved by the master was already left for him. How to make money quickly and ensure that he didn't have to worry about money, he also needed to make some plans.

"If those people didn't lie to me, the heavenly gates of the two realms had opened at this time, and the spiritual tide was about to form a gushing momentum. Even if the concentration of spiritual energy was not as good as that of the cave heaven, for practitioners in the world, they could finally see the hope of practicing Taoism and seeking immortality.

Those who practice Taoism in the previous life rushed into the Cave Heaven Realm one after another, but they didn't know that this world was the main world, and the Cave Heaven Realm was just formed by relying on this world. In time, the concentration of spiritual energy in this world would inevitably exceed that of the Cave Heaven Realm."

When the practitioners who entered the Cave Heaven Realm saw many masters in the Cave Heaven Realm, they all felt that there was hope for their practice in this life. But these practitioners did not know that the sects of the Cave Heaven Realm were so great that they tried their best to send the elites under the sect to the earth.

When Hu Xuanzong became the elder of the inner sect of the Hundred Grass Sect in the Cave Heaven Realm, he wanted to return to the earth to revive the Hulu Temple, but found that the teleportation array that returned to the earth had been controlled by several major sects in the Cave Heaven Realm. It was difficult to return to the sky.

Looking at the clouds and mist slowly melting under the sunlight, Hu Xuanzong laughed as himself: "The rising sun on the earth is especially so instant, although it is not hot, but has endless potential. The cave world is like the sunset, which seems infinitely good, but it is near dusk!"

The Taoist people who still retain the inheritance of these secrets of practice are also unaware of it. For people in the world, practicing Taoism seems to be equated with health preservation. When the spiritual tides gush for the first time, the Taoist people know that the great struggle has quietly arrived.
