The sky was full of stars in the middle of the night, and Liu Nian, who was lying on the ground in the Supreme Elder's Taichung, slowly opened his clear eyes. Although the remaining tears moistened his eyelashes and eyes, there was no trace of melancholy.
Liu Ernian stayed in the dim space under Haoqi Mountain for three hundred and forty-four years. Except for the time when he was unconscious, Liu Ernian had been getting along with his inner demon Liu Dayian in his own consciousness space, and Liu Ernian's body had been Growing silently, although Liu Ernian was already a Jindan cultivator and his body grew and changed very slowly, the period of more than three hundred years was still a long time for Jindan Zhenren.
During this period, under the guidance of the modern Liu Danian, Liu Ernian's way of life changed from a simple novice to... to... well, this bastard basically stayed the same.
In terms of physical appearance, Liu Nian changed from a handsome young man with short hair and a carefree face to a handsome man with black-dyed back hair. Modified by a head of black troubled silk, he turned into an even more handsome mature man.
"Master, you once taught your disciples that there is a long road ahead for practitioners. If you want to reach the top of the great road, you must have a clear mind. You must not be trapped in yesterday's sumeru. There is a destiny in life and death. If you want to reach the great road, you must not be ruthless or greedy. It is a pity that the past cannot be bullied.
My disciple has clearly understood your teachings. Although I feel a little reluctant to give up, I can no longer be trapped in my heart. Thank you Master for your teachings. "
Liu Nian bowed deeply to the many souls in front of him. When he stood up, the tears in his eyes had disappeared. At the same time, the crack in Liu Nian's Taoist heart disappeared without a trace.
Hundreds of years ago, Liu Nian was defeated by Yan Yan Wuhui. Unwilling to fail, he chose to sneak attack the opponent but was stopped by his mentor Tongai Zhenren. Under the scrutiny of many disciples around him, Liu Nian's heart towards Tao was completely shattered, and that memory became Liu Nian's heart was broken.
During the days when Liu Nian was suppressed by Haoqi Mountain, he faced off against his inner demon Liu Da Nian countless times without ever winning!
Habits became natural, and Liu Nian could gradually accept the word "failure". His collapsed Taoist heart began to heal slowly, and Liu Nian's cultivation level gradually improved. Although his cultivation speed was not as fast as before, it was still better than that of ordinary monks. It is also extraordinary.
If Master Tongai has a soul in heaven and knows that his apprentice has been hanged and beaten for so many years and can regain his Taoist heart, he might give a thumbs up and praise loudly: "The craftsmanship is good!"
Although with the "help" of Liu Danian, Liu Ernian's Taoist heart began to be reshaped, there was always a crack in the Taoist heart. It was Liu Ernian's gratitude accumulated over a hundred years.
Liu Ernian, who noticed that his Taoist heart had regained his senses, quickly sank his spiritual thoughts into his spiritual consciousness space, hoping to share the good news with Liu Danian. However, when Liu Ernian entered his spiritual consciousness space, he found that his inner demon was there. Sleeping with a silly expression on his face.
This was the first time Liu Nian saw his inner demon sleeping. After all, in his eyes, the inner demon was always full of energy. Liu Ernian slowly walked closer to Liu Danian and heard the inner demon's subtle murmurs in his sleep. : "It's a twin of a boy and a girl, hehehehehe... let's call the boy Ernian! If he dares to disobey you, I'll definitely beat him, hehehehehe."
Liu Nian planned to wake up the inner demon who was sleeping soundly, and wanted to ask him what he had dreamed about? This dangerous plan, which was extremely easy to be crushed by inner demons for several years, stopped just before it happened. Because Liu Ernian's remaining spiritual consciousness in the outside world noticed someone approaching him, Liu Ernian's spiritual consciousness immediately returned to his body.
This savior... bah bah... the person who came was none other than Bai Xingque, the head of the Haoqi Immortal Sect.
Early the next morning, in the Zhaoshi Hall, the place where the sect was responsible for issuing announcements, the leader walked in vain and jumped up and down with vigorous steps, with a look of joy on his face as he hugged his grandson.
The leader's every move really frightened the disciples in the Zhaoshi Hall. The first impression was that the bad news of Alzheimer's disease was weighing on the leader's head.
I saw Bai Xing happily posted a notice in Zhaoshi Hall, and then left happily, after the back of the white-bearded old man disappeared into the distance.
Everyone naturally focused their attention on that notice. Everyone was curious, what could possibly cause the leader to put up the notice himself?
Are you planning to pass the position of head to me?
joke! The leader is not stupid, how could he casually pass on the position of leader to others... What if he is really demented? Judging from the performance just now, eh, it’s possible!
Daydreaming fantasies appeared in the minds of many disciples, and soon everyone surrounded the notice three levels inside and three outside.
The title of the notice read a few big words: The sect has a new inner sect elder.
In a certain house in Haoqixianmen
"Are you sure you are the elder of the inner sect?" A well-built bald monk sat on a delicate bench with his legs crossed. He had a cross scar on his forehead and a ferocious face. He looked very scary. The bald monk rubbed the back of his shiny head and asked the person in front of him.
"Reply to Elder Liangran, that is indeed what is written on the notice. I have read it carefully several times, and I can guarantee that it is definitely the elder of the inner sect who is written on the notice." A male disciple replied tremblingly.
Liangran paused slightly as he rubbed his head with his palms, then asked: "Is the notice false?"
The disciple in front of me said excitedly: "No... it's impossible, it must be true. I was on duty at Zhaozhi Hall today and saw the leader put the notice up with my own eyes."
Hearing this, Liangran removed his palm from his shiny head and said in a slightly solemn tone: "Are you serious?"
"Disciples don't dare to lie to me."
Looking at the disciple who had sweat oozing out from his forehead, he clearly motioned for the other person to pour him a cup of tea. The disciple stood up and took the order to pour the tea.
After the war between immortals and demons, the Haoqi Immortal Sect has a particularly large demand for people. Not only is it short of disciples, but it is also short of elders. The leader is in vain and is open to recruiting talents.
The origins of sect elders are mostly monks who lost their sect in the war between immortals and demons and became casual cultivators. These outside elders who join the Haoqi Immortal Sect can only become the outer elders of the sect. The core authority of the sect is firmly controlled by the inner elders, but the worship of the inner elders and the outer elders is almost the same.
There are many elder positions in the Haoqi Immortal Sect. The punishment elder presides over the sect's laws, which is one of the most powerful positions for the sect elders. Only the inner sect elders can hold this type of elder, and this elder Liangran is the outer sect elder.
"What is the name of the new inner sect elder?"
The disciple served the poured tea and said, "It seems his name is Liu Nian."
Liangran took the teacup and murmured to himself: Liu Nian? Where have you heard this name before?
"There is only one possibility to become an elder of the inner sect. You must have the status of a disciple of the Haoqi Immortal Sect. Our leader must have taken care of his former disciple so much that he must have been given a lot of power. What position does this man named Liu Nian hold in the sect? Elder?"
"It's Elder Chuanyi."
Poof... Liangran spurted out all the tea in his mouth. The disciple who poured the tea thought there was something wrong with the tea he poured. After figuring out that the tea was poisonous, he knelt down in panic and kowtowed, shouting: Spare your life, spare your life. .
Facts have proved that after staying in Xianmen for a long time, thinking will become the norm.
Any elder who serves in the sect has the right to preach and receive vocations. Now that the sect is in decline, the elder Chuanyi is the most idle position in the sect. There is no way that the new disciples accepted by the sect are too talented, and there is not much that the elder Chuanyi can do. , Chuanyi elders who can supervise their disciples to practice hard every day are considered hard-working, so Chuanyi elders are very busy, which also means that their authority is very weak.
How could an inner sect elder only get a sinecure?
While Elder Liangran was thinking, he looked at the disciples who were kowtowing on the ground and couldn't help but nod. He was not bad-tempered, but the scar on his forehead was a bit scary and his face was paralyzed.
Elder Liangran took out a beautiful stone from his storage bag and threw it in front of the kowtow disciple: "This spiritual stone is your reward for reporting the news, go out!"
Upon seeing this, the disciple quickly grasped the spirit stone on the ground and left Elder Liangran's residence in one smooth motion.
At this moment, Elder Liangran's heart trembled, and the Elder's Token around his waist flashed. The Elder's Token can not only be used to prove identity, but also to convey messages. Elder Liangran picked up the token to look at it, and his heart emerged. Write some text.
Two pieces of information…
First message:
Message type: Announcement
The sect has a new inner sect elder.
Dao number: Liu Nian
Salary: Insider level
Position: Elder of Chuanyi
Residence: The only mountain in the sect where fruits grow is named Haoqi Mountain today.
The publisher of this information: the leader
Looking at this message, Elder Liangran was silent for a long time... and lamented: A piece of spiritual stone has been wasted.
Second message:
Message type: Task
Since there is no precedent for monks to live in Haoqi Mountain, at noon tomorrow, we will lead more than twenty disciples to help Elder Liu Nian build a residence on Haoqi Mountain.
Information publisher: leader
Clam……
Ask me to lead people to help build a residence. How can I say that I am also in the late stage of foundation building, and my state is not bad among the elders of the sect, so let me do this?
This Liu Nian obviously has the innate advantage of an inner sect elder, but he only has a casual job as an elder of Chuanyi. His residence is on a hilltop with neither elixirs nor spiritual beasts. His cultivation level must be very worth mentioning, and there will be nothing. The backstage support should be that the head thought that the other party was an old disciple of the Immortal Sect, so he was given a dispensable elder position to support him in his old age.
It makes perfect sense to think about things this way.
Hey, this is an opportunity to frustrate the inner sect’s group!
Let me lead more than twenty disciples to help, okay, then I will show you, hehehe...
Mountains and plains coexist inside the Haoqi Immortal Sect, and the entire sect covers an extremely wide area. After all, it used to be a first-class sect. Fortunately, the sect has never had to cede land to pay compensation.
Among the many peaks in the sect, the size and height of Haoqi Mountain are considered medium-level in the sect. However, the value of the sect’s mountain is not determined by its size. The spiritual grass and spiritual beasts on the mountain are what the monks care about. After all, this is common sense. Liu Ernian also understood the truth.
But this Haoqi Mountain was the last thing that Master Tongai gave him.
