Thinking of this, Zhang Fan continued reading.
The reason Qingcheng Mountain is considered eerie is that its back mountain is said to be located at the convergence of the Yin and Yang realms. It's often crossed by malicious ghosts from the Netherworld into the mortal world, and spirit monsters gather there for mystical cultivation.
Before the first mountain-breaking and temple-attacking incident, the back mountain of Qingcheng Mountain was also known as Ghost City Mountain.
Later, Zhang Daoling preached here, capturing the Dragon Qi of the Yangtze River to suppress the Five Heavens, Eight Divisions, and Six Celestial Ghosts and Gods, sealing the exit of the Netherworld.
Even so, the root cause was not eradicated. Qingcheng Mountain is not just a sacred place for Daoists; it's also a blessed land for demonic ghosts.
Everyone has seen the Legend of the White Snake. Bai Suzhen was originally a thousand-year-old white python who cultivated at Qingcheng Mountain.
