It must be noted that opening the mountain gate to welcome guests is a formal reception reserved for Daoist friends of equal standing, quite different from entering through the side gate.
With such a demeanor, it seems they are here to ask for something...
Ling Fengzi, being quick-witted, immediately understood the intention behind this.

Such a humbling task will likely fall on him to handle.
Thinking of this, Ling Fengzi softened his attitude further, raised his hand with a smile and said, "Everyone, please follow me."
As they walked, he introduced, "It is said that in the past, when the Old Lord exited Hangu Pass heading west, he left behind a Green Bull that turned into this great mountain."
