Seeing Master Lingzhi speaking, the two of them dared to show any disobedience. I can only agree to it first. As for what to do next, I can only take it one step at a time.
Seeing that the two agreed, Yang Xinghe quickly asked them to go to Wuji Ruins early tomorrow morning to pay homage to the owner of the market, and then to help in the square in the middle of Wuji Ruins. Then he said goodbye to Master Lingzhi and returned to Wuji Ruins.
Guo Qingshan pulled Mo Yunshen and wanted to follow him out. First think of a way to settle Princess Biyun. However, Master Lingzhi coughed and stopped the two of them.
"You two boys, stay here and drink tea with the old Taoist priest."
The two couldn't help but look at each other, wondering why Master Lingzhi suddenly left them behind. We could only sit down at the bottom, silently, and see what the ancestor had to say.
"Little girl, pour them a cup of the tea you brewed, and let them have a taste of your craftsmanship."
Master Lingzhi ordered Bi Yun, picked up a tea cup on the table next to him, gently blew away the layer of mist on it, and then took a sip.
"Well, the old Taoist priest hasn't tasted this taste in fifty years."
Bi Yun picked up the teapot and filled two cups of tea one by one. I saw bursts of dark green smoke coming out of the tea in the cup, drifting to the tip of my nose, leaving a sweet smell behind, and then dispersed in the air.
The two picked up the teacups and took a sip of tea, imitating Master Lingzhi. I just feel that this tea is neither sweet nor sweet nor bitter nor astringent, and it feels like a clear spring in my mouth. After it flowed from the throat, I felt a stream of clear water rushing straight to the top of my head. I suddenly felt that my eyesight and ears were sharp, and my expression was lifted.
Guo Qingshan smacked his lips and said, "This tea looks like tea but is not tea. I can't tell what it is. I have never tasted this kind of tea and I don't know what kind of tea leaves it is made from."
Bi Yun stood beside her and said crisply, "What is brewed here is not tea, but the spruce tips with dew in the morning, the licorice slices under the noon sun, and the last maple leaf branch left by the sunset in the evening. It was mixed with the white moon flowers that absorbed the full moon at midnight. After being crushed, it was blended into the shape of tea leaves, dried in the sun, and then steeped in clear spring water. So it took the meaning of the four seasons of the day, and it was named the four seasons. "
Mo Yunshen was greatly surprised and said, "I didn't expect that this tea is not brewed with tea leaves. I have never heard of it. I don't know which senior master invented this four-time scene. If I'm lucky enough to meet you, On the one hand, I must give you a big compliment in person."
The spiritual master said, "This person has already fallen during the Heavenly Dao's slaying of demons twenty years ago." He looked lonely when he spoke, and his tone contained a feeling of reluctance. Looking carefully, I found a few tears quietly falling from the corners of his eyes.
Bi Yun stood aside and sobbed a few times when she heard this.
Mo Yunshen looked at the two of them with some confusion. He wondered why Bi Yun also shed tears when Master Lingzhi talked about this old friend. Could it be that Bi Yun knows this person that Master Lingzhi mentioned?
When he thought of this, Mo Yunshen seemed to understand something in his mind. Before he could think about it carefully, he heard Master Lingzhi speak again.
"That was fifty years ago, when I was only over forty years old. I had just broken through the realm of acquired heaven and entered the first realm of innate creation. It was so high-spirited and heroic! I feel like there are people better than me in this world. There are not many strong people left.”
The two of them also heard some old stories about Master Lingzhi from the elders in Jiuhua Mountain. Back then, Master Lingzhi was regarded as a monastic genius who could only be seen once in a century in Wuji Ruins. Entering the first state of acquired concentration at the age of six, he can be called a child prodigy. At the age of forty, he entered the realm of innateness.
Throughout the ages, only a few hundred people have reached the innate realm at this age. Among the major sects of the current righteous path, the only one who can accomplish this is Master Liao Chan of Nanjian Mountain.
I think Guo Qingshan is already in his forties and has reached the state of returning to his original state the day after tomorrow. In Jiuhua Mountain, he is also a person with outstanding talents. It seems that after practicing diligently for three to five years, one can break through the innate realm. Little do they know that there is a huge difference between nature and nurture. It cannot be achieved by hard work and talent. It also requires opportunity and enlightenment.
For more than a thousand years, countless people have stopped at the peak state of returning to the original state of the day after tomorrow. They spend their entire lives cultivating, but they are still unable to break through this barrier.
Master Lingzhi took a sip of tea and continued, "I was young and vigorous at that time, so I traveled around the Kyushu with a sense of arrogance, looking for the best among the younger generations of each sect to compete. One day, I passed by Lu Ming in Xihan Yuanzhou When I was climbing the mountain, I saw this mountain peak rising from the vast wilderness. It was not only dangerous but also strange. Suddenly I felt blessed, and I suddenly felt that there were faint signs of breakthrough in the realm where I had encountered a bottleneck. So I stepped to the top of the mountain and looked for it. When we reached a place with flat rocks, we wanted to cross our legs and enter meditation. Unexpectedly, a figure emerged from the diagonal thorn. He raised his hand and threw a few thunderbolts without thinking. The old Taoist priest was caught off guard and was instantly blown to pieces. "
Having said this, Master Lingzhi puffed up his mouth, and seemed to be angry at the sudden attack. "I thought I was young and vigorous at the time, how could I stand such a cowardly attitude. I didn't care about the breakthrough in meditation, and jumped from the ground. As soon as I got up, I had a huge fight with the person who came."
Mo Yunshen was also secretly surprised when he heard this. Master Lingzhi at that time was not only young and vigorous, but also in an innate state. If someone could compete with him, how could his cultivation be so low?
"What happened next? Did you defeat this man?"
Master Lingzhi shook his head and said, "We fought from noon to dusk. Both sides exhausted their strength. They lay on the ground panting and cursing each other. By the time it was dawn the next day, they had recovered 50% to 60% of their strength. After that, the fight started again. The fighting continued for three days and three nights, but there was no winner."
"In the end, we couldn't fight any more, so we both stopped at the same time. I leaned on a piece of bluestone and asked the guy why he attacked me. He replied that the place where I wanted to sit cross-legged and meditate was the place he had occupied all year round. . At that time, when he saw me suddenly appearing, he was about to sit on me. He didn’t have time to say anything to stop me, so he summoned a few thunderbolts and blasted me over."
Guo Qingshan and others laughed unconsciously after hearing this. I didn't expect this person to be so stingy. He just took his place and beat him without any hesitation.
The spiritual master said, "Hahaha, it's not just you who find it funny. I knew at the time that I had offended him because of this, and I was both angry and funny. But after fighting for three days and three nights, we couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy for each other. , we started practicing together on that bluestone. Before we knew it, more than three months had passed, and we had formed a deep friendship."
Guo Qingshan asked, "Old Ancestor, I don't know what kind of disciple this person is! He has such a level of cultivation. I guess he is not an unknown person."
Master Lingzhi took a deep breath, and then slowly spit out two words: "Bi Luo, one of the two demon kings in the Demon Underworld Palace!"
Although from what Master Lingzhi said just now, the two of them had vaguely guessed that this person was a spirit from the Demon Underworld Palace. But he never expected that it would be Bi Luo, one of the two demon emperors, and his mouth widened involuntarily.
Master Lingzhi laughed twice, looked at the two of them sideways and said, "This matter has been buried in my heart for fifty years, but no one has ever known about it. I only told you two today, if I dare to reveal even half of it... "
At this moment, Master Lingzhi changed his usual lazy demeanor, and a spark of light flashed in his eyes, which was directly absorbed into the minds of the two people. Although it was only a moment, the two of them felt strong fear and fear from the bottom of their hearts.
A layer of cold sweat broke out on Guo Qingshan's forehead. He quickly stood up and said, "Don't worry, ancestor, my brothers and I don't dare to leak any information about this matter. Once we leave this room, we will completely forget it." Jing, I definitely won’t remember even half of it.”
"Okay, after talking so much, the old Taoist priest is tired." He stood up, stretched and said, "Little girl, help me back to the tower to rest."
Bi Yun responded, supported Master Lingzhi and walked outside the house. When passing by Guo Qingshan and the two of them, he winked at Mo Yunshen to reassure them.
"Old Taoist priest, very few people usually come here, and even if they do come, they don't dare to be arrogant. You can just go about your business with peace of mind. I also happened to take advantage of this time to catch up with the old friend's granddaughter."
The door closed with a creak, leaving only the two people still in shock in the room.
Guo Qingshan just recovered a little at this moment, and he was so disappointed that he said, "I can't believe it, I really can't believe it! This ancestor of Wuji Ruins is actually an old friend of the Demon Emperor Bi Luo! And judging from his tone, the two are still friends. Not shallow."
Mo Yunshen nodded and said, "So, Master Lingzhi must have recognized the little girl Bi Yun's low cry that day, so he suddenly left us here."
Guo Qingshan patted Mo Yunshen on the shoulder and said with a smile, "It's good this way. With Master Lingzhi, the ancestor of Wuji Ruins, protecting us, we don't have to worry about Bi Yun being in danger here. I think in this day Down there, there's no place safer than here."
Now that Bi Yun's safety was guaranteed, the two of them were completely relieved.
The next day, at dawn, Guo Qingshan and the others told Mu Jingyu and Bi Yun to stay here honestly and not to cause unnecessary trouble by walking around, and then headed to Wuji Ruins the way they came.
Yu Jian flew down from the thousand-foot hanging wall, and the Wuji Ruins, which originally seemed small, slowly expanded in his eyes.
I saw the dark practice area in Wuji Ruins. At this moment, many disciples had gone deep into it to practice. Looking closely, I also found that many disciples wearing costumes from other sects also came here to practice. Apparently, many disciples from the other sects of the Right Way have arrived.
The square in the middle of Wuji Ruins was now filled with busy Wuji Xu disciples. At a glance, there were probably more than a hundred people. They are all Xingyang Palace disciples responsible for setting up the venue here.
A few days ago, when the two of them looked down from mid-air, they felt that something was being arranged here, but there was no clue. As I continue to look at it today, it has begun to take shape.
I saw a huge altar standing in the center of the venue. A Jiuzhou square tripod stood on it, and a ball of flames burned fiercely in the square tripod.
This altar is used to worship the gods of heaven and earth in the Dao Forum. This Kyushu square tripod is carved from a ten-thousand-year-old sky stone, symbolizing the Kyushu and the righteous sects of the world.
Around the altar, eight Tai Chi-shaped arenas are evenly distributed. These eight arenas are used for outstanding disciples from various sects to compete and learn from each other.
However, the competitions in recent years have lost their original flavor. Instead, they have become a stage for many other small and medium-sized sects and families to showcase their outstanding disciples.
Those disciples of small and medium-sized sects who perform outstandingly in the arena will be accepted by various sects and teach Taoism as outer disciples. In this way, these small and medium-sized sects have been invisibly connected with the nine major sects.
In every Dao Discussion Conference, the hosting sect will bring out some magic weapons and artifacts as rewards for the victors.
Around the ring, it is divided into four large areas, which are spread out in a fan shape. At this moment, they are filled with tables, chairs and benches, used to watch the disciples from various sects who come to participate in the conference.
The largest area is a large area backed by the white part of Wuji Ruins. This area is where the viewing platform of the Nine sects is located.
