One day, while Ling De Tai Zi was trying to inhale the Incense Fume in Master Xu’s Temple, Master Xu appeared in front of him and started to reprimand him for stealing the Energy. Upon seeing Master Xu was the Owner of the Temple, Ling De Tai Zi felt embarrassed but in-order not to lose face, Ling De Tai Zi had to fight back with Master Xu. After rounds of Battling, Ling De Tai Zi was not able to resist the power of Master Xu and just as he was about to sneak off, Master Xu released a Spiritual Heavenly Net (天羅) to capture him.

Heavenly & Earthly Net (天羅地網), a Spiritual Object that being widely used in Lv Shan Ritual. During the using of Heavenly & Earthly Net, Ling De Tai Bao must be invited in-order to gain the necessary permission for the Opening of the Heavenly & Earthly Net, but due to some Taoist Priests are not aware of such Practices, now a lot of Lv Shan Priests had skip this process, which I can said that, it’s a form of distorting the Culture.
Due to these 16 Spiritual Protectors appeared in the Contexts of Lv Shan Sect, a lot of the Folks tend to mistaken them as part of the Five Directional Spiritual Camps (五方神將), which this is not True.
And for Ling De Tai Zi (靈德太子太保), a lot of Folks tend to mix him up with Prince Na Zha (哪吒), which is also not Correct – due to there are a few Temples that dedicated to Na Zha got the Title of Ling De Temple (靈德宮).
