Introduction to the Lingxiao Fighting Platform: The Lingxiao Fighting Platform is said to be the place where Taoists such as Yongtai Taoist Zhang Ziguan, Xianyou Taoist Xiao Langrui and Minqing Taoist Zhang Langqing fought mandrills during the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Back then, Dharma Master Zhang and the two sages Xiao and Zhang were fighting the Wutong Ghost in Shiniu Mountain. Dharma Master saw that the Wutong Ghost's spells and martial arts were not mediocre, and wanted to conquer the Wutong Ghost, so he invited the Wutong Ghost to fight in the Shiniu Mountain Fighting Arena.
The Dharma Master and the Wutong Ghost met to compete in walking on a stone wall with their heels. The Dharma Master’s footsteps penetrated the stone 2 inches, while the Wutong Ghost penetrated the stone 1 inch. The Dharma Master walked in one line, and the Wutong Ghost also walked in a line, each walking for 20 lines. The Dharma Master realized that although Wutong Ghost was no match for him, he had a stubborn temperament, so he devised a plan to induce him to surrender.
Pretending that it was getting late, the Dharma Master agreed to fight again tomorrow and invited the Wutong ghost to eat dog meat. However, he did not eat dog meat and only ate black beans. In another day's battle of spells, Wutong Ghost broke the taboo of eating dog meat, so all his spells were lost. After being taken into the Tongtian Net by the Three Saint Lords, all the ghosts and demons under him were turned into ashes. The Wutong Ghost then knelt down and begged for mercy, and was accepted by the Dharma Master as an altar guardian.
