The mist scatters colors, and the sun and moon shine.
Thousands of old cypresses, thousands of knots repaired——
Shigu Peak is the ninth peak of Jinting Mountain. Most of the people from aristocratic families live here. Like birds gathering together, the scenery has always been splendid, showing the overwhelming wealth.
Recently, in order to welcome the arrival of the Hushang Dharma Assembly, people from these families have specially made more decorations. The scenery is beautiful and picturesque, and it is very luxurious.
Look around.
It is a scene with gold and jade hanging on the door, brocade on the ground, beautiful spiritual peaks, and misty fragrance from the sky.
At this time.
Apart from the emotion in the long-faced Taoist's voice, there was also a hint of resentment and envy that was not easily noticeable.
The companion next to him glanced at him and couldn't help but said with a smile:
"His family is rich and extravagant, but what does this have to do with you, Bao Cong, why do you behave like this? Is it possible that you are tired of the years in the mountains, despise the hardships of cultivating Taoism, and want to go down the mountain and join the world to become a rich prince?"
If this is really the case.
You can at least wait until you receive this month's gift from the hospital and give it to me completely before you go down the mountain. If I take advantage of you, brother, I won't lose in the end! "
"Shuzi, Shuzi! Master, why have I ever thought of this? Don't make up nonsense!"
The long-faced Taoist Bao Cong was startled when he heard this.
Immediately he raised his sleeves, pointed at the face of his companion, and couldn't help but laugh and curse a few words...
Because the mountain gate of Yuchen Sect, Xiaoming Daze, is within the Eastern Territory.
Among the secular people in the Eastern Region, there has always been a prevailing trend of advocating Taoism and Mysticism.
Not to mention treating Taoists who are successful practitioners extremely polite.
It is not surprising that this is also due to the fear of magical magic or the longing for eternal life.
He is a wandering Taoist who only knows a few basic techniques.
If you don't deliberately stir up troubles and cause trouble, you can live a very nourishing life in the secular world of the Eastern Region, with no shortage of wealth and glory.
Over the years, the secular authority in the Eastern Region has become inseparable from the Yuchen Sect.
For example, not far from Jinting Mountain, a hundred miles away, we reached the border of a small country named Zheng.
The leader of the Zheng Kingdom is the son of an elder of the Yuchen Sect. When he was young, he also entered the four lower courtyards to practice Taoism. However, due to his lack of ability, he failed to win the top ten disciples. He became a disciple of the Yuchen Shangzong and got tired of practicing Taoism. It’s hard work and I don’t want to continue climbing on the immortal path.
Later, with the help of his father, he went to the secular world and became the leader of a small country, enjoying the wealth and splendor of the world and being as happy as he wanted.
As for the secular land of the Eastern Region.
There are a total of 24 large countries and 300 small countries.
Among them, those who hold the power of the court are all related to the Yuchen sect, and there is no exception.
The long-faced Taoist Bao Xin is a disciple of Changyingyuan. In terms of birth status, he is naturally above the disciples of all major avenues and Beipu. It can be said that he is an orthodox disciple of the Yuchen Sect!
If he is really tired of practicing the immortal way and wants to go to the secular world to live happily.
Within the Eastern Territory, whether it is the twenty-four major countries or the small countries of three hundred square meters, they all welcome him extremely...
…
After some banter, Bao Xin and his companions also went up the Shigufeng Mountain Trail.
It won’t take long.
The first thing you see is a vermilion doorway with colorful ribbons hanging from it, decorated with crystals, corals and other treasures. It is about three feet square, dazzling in the sunlight and extremely colorful.
There is a small case next to the door. An old man dressed as a scribe, with bright eyes and a layer of mysterious energy flowing on his face, is sitting beside the case, holding a pen and paper in his hand, as if he is writing something down.
"Can even an old servant of the family have such a level of cultivation? It seems that senior brother Xie Huizhai has an extraordinary status in the family?"
When Bao Cong saw this, he was slightly surprised and looked at his companions.
Behind the old servant stood two boys with red lips and white teeth. They saw someone approaching on the mountain path and hurriedly signaled to the old servant who was busy writing at his desk.
"Forgive me, forgive me!"
The old servant hurriedly put down his paper and pen, looked up and saw Bao Cong and his companions. He ran forward, stopped a few steps away, bowed his head, and looked very respectful:
"Dare you ask the names of these two true cultivators? I wonder if they are cultivating in Changying Academy or in the other three academies?"
"We are all disciples of Changyingyuan, and we are from the same sect as Senior Brother Xie Huizhai. We came here specifically for this Dharma gathering."
Bao Cong slightly cupped his hands and said:
"My name is Bao Cong."
"My name is Pei Jing."
The companion beside Bao Cong smiled and spoke.
"Bao Cong, Pei Jing...these two names?"
The old servant thought about it for several rounds in his mind.
Thinking about it, there are no Bao or Pei surnames among the twelve generations.
Let's see that they were walking up the mountain. They didn't take any ceremonial chariots or other things when traveling, and there were no maids or servants following them.
From this point of view, these two people should be from poor backgrounds or have no background...
However, I even suspected that Bao Cong and Pei Jing were not of high family status.
There was no look of arrogance or arrogance on the old servant's face. He was still respectful and respectful, so that others could not find anything wrong.
Not to mention any of the disciples of Changyingyuan who entered the house, their status was far above him, and they were people that his slaves could not afford to offend.
Moreover, he is an old servant of Changyou Xie family. He has been the son of Xie family for generations.
Over the years.
I can also know some information...
The old servant vaguely heard that today's Hushang Dharma Assembly was initiated by the younger members of the Xie Huizhai and Xie Tang clans, but once word spread, it was praised by many elders of the Xie clan and even took the initiative to do it. Even the leader of the Xie clan heard about the momentum building.
This is the real reason.
It's just that the relationship between Yuchen and the Shiclan has been tense in recent years, and the secret war has gradually intensified, and there is even a tendency for bloodshed.
At this critical moment.
The actions of Xie Huizhai and Xie Tang unintentionally gave the world a step down.
After some deliberation, the people in the family decided that since there was a big deal ahead of them and it was far from time to break up, they were happy to see the outcome and even took the initiative to stir up the momentum.
This is also a way of showing weakness to the Yuchen faction and taking the initiative to show goodwill towards reconciliation.
…
"You two true cultivators, please slow down your steps first."
After I secretly wrote down these two names.
Seeing Bao Cong and Pei Jing about to leave, the old servant hurriedly called him to stop him and said with a smile:
"A few small gifts are not disrespectful. This is what the Lord has specifically ordered before. Every disciple who comes to the Dharma assembly has a share. Please don't find it vulgar."
After hearing this, the two boys behind the old servant took out two jade boxes, held them in their hands, and presented them respectfully.
Bao Cong didn't refuse, chuckled lightly, and took it in his hand.
He weighed it briefly and was surprised when he saw that the jade box was not light, and just holding it in his hand gave him a warm, cool and refreshing feeling, which penetrated his body and moistened his heart.
"Thank you very much."
Pei Jing also smiled, cupped his hands, and then walked through the cave door with Bao Cong, followed the mountain road, and continued towards Shigu Peak.
Wait until you turn a fork in the road.
The colorful cave door and the old servant were both gone, and their figures were no longer visible.
At this time.
Bao Cong and Pei Jingcai looked at each other, and in unison they took out the jade box from their sleeves and opened it very quickly.
"hiss……"
After seeing clearly what was in the box, Bao Cong, who was a little less hearted, couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Pei Jing's performance on the side was not much better, his pupils were widened and he was slightly absent-minded.
"It's Jing Huixia, one of Jiuxia's. This time, the family is really out of luck..."
After a while.
Pei Jing raised his head and spoke slowly to Bao Cong.
…
There are nine clouds in this world.
The points are:
Bixia, Caixia, Zixia, Danxia, Yunxia, Yanxia, Ruiguangxia, Jinghuixia, Puyun Baoxia.
It is said that when the ancient Qi practitioners were doing their spiritual practice, they would take the four-pole cloud sprouts above the gods, bow to the light of the Yuan Dynasty in the five directions, and eat the essence of the nine clouds.
And this Jing Huixia.
It’s one of Jiuxia’s!
If it is refined into the body, it can nourish the spirit, strengthen the body, remove turbidity and transform it into new ones, and refine the root nature. It is truly a great medicine and elixir!
And everyone who comes to this Dharma gathering can get a ray of Jinghuixia.
This is such a wealth of financial resources.
It really shocked Pei Jing...
"What kind of pot and wine ceremony is this? It seems that Xie Huizhai and Xie Tang are not the real messengers! There must be someone else behind this ceremony!"
Pei Jing noticed something strange and frowned at Bao Cong.
"Yes or no, what does it have to do with you and me?"
Bao Cong laughed disdainfully.
In the jade box in his hand, there was a ray of light about finger-long in the jade box, which was as colorful as the red clouds. It was really beautiful.
Bao Cong looked at it for a moment, then suddenly closed the jade box, put it into his sleeve, and said with a big smile:
"It doesn't matter who is the main messenger behind the ceremony, anyway, the benefits of Jing Huixia are real and you and I can't lose anything!
Even if the family has any scheming, if the sky falls, there will be tall people to carry it, and if the leaders of the sect are really there, what are you worried about? "
Pei Jing was slightly startled when he heard this. After thinking for a moment, he could only smile bitterly and nodded.
And the two of them climbed up the stairs.
Not long after, they reached the top of the mountain and saw a majestic palace.
The terrain here is extremely high, reaching up to the sky.
The surrounding smoke is misty, the sea of clouds is surging and rolling around the waist, and the atmosphere is very majestic. Looking at the extremely gorgeous and majestic palace in front of you, people can't help but feel a sense of surprise and admiration in their hearts, as if they are in a fairyland. Home is a wonderful place.
"This palace must have been specially renovated recently. I have been to Shigu Peak several times in the past, but I have never seen anything like this."
Bao Cong said to Pei Jing.
"It's quite colorful."
Pei Jing sighed softly.
At this time, people could be seen in the hall, which showed that many people had arrived early.
Bao Cong and Pei Jing didn't even hesitate. They just lifted the hem of their robes and stepped into the palace.
As soon as he entered.
There are thousands of crystal jade cases clearly arranged on both sides, and the disciples sitting there are all well-dressed.
Many beautiful and beautiful attendants shuttled between these jade tables like fluttering butterflies. The glass cups in their hands contained elixirs, jade liquid, fruits and vegetables, and other delicacies.
Bao Cong and Pei Jing arrived a little late now.
I saw many acquaintances in the hall, who were already exchanging cups and cups, congratulating each other and drinking heavily. The scene was very noisy and lively.
"Two distinguished guests, I will take you to your seats."
A maid with beautiful features and a colorful silk dress walked over. When she came closer, she smiled gently at the two of them and bowed.
"Why are Senior Brother Xie Huizhai and Senior Sister Xie Tang just sitting at the top? Who set up those two empty Cangguang Mysterious Platforms at the main seat?"
Bao Cong did not move in a hurry, but took a deep look into the palace and asked slowly.
"Excellent guest, the two Cangguang Xuantais were set up for Master Mingyou of the Xie family and an elder of the Yuchen Sect."
The waitress smiled and said: "Today's pot and wine ceremony is co-hosted by these two great masters."
"What?!"
Bao Cong was shocked.
He had been here before, but he had never heard the news that the two great masters were coming to personally preside over this Dharma gathering.
I originally thought that the so-called Hushang Dharma Assembly was just an ordinary banquet among fellow disciples, and at most it was more grand.
But looking at it today, there may be some conspiracy that he doesn't know about...
"Excuse me, please lead me to the table."
When Bao Congwei was a little distracted.
Pei Jing calmly pulled him and smiled.
The waitress was no longer surprised. She covered her lips and smiled softly, then led the two of them towards the vacant jade table.
And this scene.
He was also noticed by the superior Xie Huizhai.
He shook his head imperceptibly, his eyes flickered, and he leaned back, feeling quite uninterested.
"Ever since the clan ordered Master Mingyou to preside over this ceremony for you, you have always looked like you are on the verge of death."
Xie Tang glanced at him and said expressionlessly:
"Isn't it bad that you have gained a reputation because of the clan's efforts and wealth? What's more, today's momentum will definitely attract Chen Heng to come. Isn't it just what you want?"
"No, no... I just feel that as a member of the world, once I wear this skin, it will be extremely difficult to take it off again. Every move I make will inevitably be marked in the eyes of others. A brand in the clan.”
Xie Huizhai sighed softly and said:
"My original intention was just to chat with Chen Heng, have a good time drinking, and have fun. How could I have imagined that we would be in this situation today?"
Xie Tang was silent when he heard the words, speechless for a moment.
And from time to time.
Suddenly, a ray of light fell from the clouds, and then a person was seen walking slowly into the hall.
"It's him!"
Xie Huizhai's eyes lit up and he thought.
The person who came was tall and tall, wearing a white Taoist robe and a Wei belt around the waist. He did not wear any extraneous ornaments, and his hair was only tied up with a simple green wood hairpin, which was light and not stained by dust.
But it's so simple.
But the more he appears, the more elegant he is.
Like the jade tree in Langyuan, its stream of light can overwhelm thousands of bamboo poles...
The venue was slightly silent when he appeared, and soon there was a faint buzz of discussion.
Facing the eyes of everyone in the hall.
Chen Heng only bowed his hands towards Xie Huizhai, who raised his glass to congratulate him, and then allowed the waitress to take him to an empty table and sit down.
And during this period.
The maid also told Chen Heng that the ceremony would be hosted by two great masters of the sect and family.
However, he already knew the inside story and was not too surprised. He only nodded slightly.
After sitting down, Mi Hui, who was sitting next to him, was very excited and couldn't help waving his hands to signal him.
"Senior Brother Mi is well."
Chen Heng smiled slightly.
Immediately, his eyes turned and fell on a person not far away.
He happened to meet the clear eyes that were looking at him, full of curiosity.
"Junior sister Qiao is well."
It was quiet for a moment.
He spoke to Qiao Rui.
