In the early morning of this day, golden light spread all over the fields, and the mist had not yet dispersed.
The mountains in the Yundu Domain are sloping, and the streams and rivers are like jade belts running through them. The water is clear and sparkling, and the white mist is like flowing clouds. It accumulates in the mountains and ridges, surrounding the green mountains and green trees. At this moment, the birds are chirping. It is the scene of "the noisy cicada forest is more than quiet, and the bird singing mountain is even more secluded".
Han Yang took off his escaping light and stood still on a cloud, taking in this quiet scene into his eyes. However, he did not feel relaxed, but felt a bit depressed.
Different from ordinary disciples, after he entered the school, because of his acceptable qualifications, he became a disciple of an elder in the Hongqing Hall and became his registered disciple. Although his status was not as good as that of the senior disciples above him, he could still be among the elders with this status. Practice in the cave and enjoy the gathering of thousands of spiritual ideas. These disciples who still live in Yundu Domain are indeed incomparable to him.
This seemingly quiet and quiet land in front of us is actually crowded with many people. Zhaoyan is surrounded by mountains and valleys in the north. The sect occupies a very large area, and there are many small realms of caves and heavens in it to accommodate it. There are so many disciples here, but it is difficult to find a quiet cave for each of them.
The boundaries of the Yundu Territory are limited, and the hilltops that were born there have long been occupied by people. Most of the disciples who moved in later were uprooted by the sect's deacons and placed in their mansions. After that, there was almost no open space in the Yundu Territory, so There was a scene where many people occupied the same mountain. When a monk breathes in and out, he absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body, and the breath of the world rises and falls. Therefore, the best place to practice must be on the top of a mountain. Therefore, when opening a cave within a mountain, the top of the mountain is the best place. The mountainside is the second best, and the foot of the mountain is the worst.
Fortunately, the sect does not support idlers. The monks in the period of return have a life span of thousands of years. Those who have not achieved a breakthrough at the age of four hundred must move the cave to the mountainside. They cannot monopolize a mountain. Those who do not enter the True Infant in another hundred years must move there. At the foot of the mountain, the disciples who have reached the age of six hundred and have not yet become infants will move out of the Yundu Domain and practice in the Wenxian Valley in the outer mansion. However, there are not as many disciples in the outer mansion as there are in the Yundu Domain. At this stage, the disciples are almost hopeless. The realm of true infants.
Zhaoyan used this to encourage his disciples to practice diligently, and at the same time, he also meant to choose the good and discard the bad. This has been a rule practiced by sects of all sizes throughout the ages.
Han Yang didn't take this as a cruel thing, he just looked coldly at the scene of escaping lights and crowds of people in Yundu Domain. Then his expression softened slightly, and he found a cave on the mountainside and fell down.
His status was different from that of the disciple here. When the two doormen outside the mansion saw Han Yang's arrival, they immediately looked at each other and did not dare to neglect at all. They both saluted and said, "I have met Zhenren Han."
Since the doorman knew his name, it also meant that the master of the house was familiar with Han Yang. However, Han Yang's sudden visit today was a bit hurried, so the two of them were surprised, and one of them knelt down to introduce him inside. In the meantime, another person went to report to the master's house.
After Han Yang sat down in the hall, the host of the house who was entertaining guests hurried over.
This is a man with a short stature, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a resolute face. Behind him is a woman in a brocade robe and a red hairpin. She is not tall, but her body is slightly plump. Her eyebrows are somewhat similar to the man in front of her. They are related by blood.
Han Yang stood up, bowed to him, and said, "A good brother is polite."
Seeing the woman's slightly smiling face again, she was surprised and said: "It turns out Sister Hui is here too."
The woman nodded and said, "I have something to discuss with my brother."
"That's so," Han Yang said with a smile, "but I came at an unlucky time."
Feng Wu and Feng Hui are brothers and sisters. Their parents and relatives all run their own businesses in the Wenxian Valley in the outer palace. There are more than 2,000 people in the family. Among the current generation, Feng Wu's brother and sister have the best qualifications and are most likely to enter the inner sect and practice, so they have been promoted. With the support of the clan, he enjoyed all the clan resources, and later lived up to expectations and became a disciple of the Zhaoyan inner sect, able to take care of the clan.
Han Yang was a poor monk who came from outside to seek Taoism. He had no support in Wenxian Valley, so his life was quite tight. In order to find resources to meet the needs of practice, he went to work in the Feng family shop. Later, Feng Wu valued him and thought he was this person. He has extraordinary qualifications and will definitely become an inner disciple in the future, so he befriends him and helps him practice for many years.
Later, Han Yang really soared into the sky and was introduced to the sect by the elders of Hongqing Hall. Although he was a registered disciple, he also left a promise that if he became a baby within three hundred years old, he could be promoted to his direct disciple, which was far beyond his ability. The imagination of the Feng clan is better than that of Feng Wu's brothers and sisters.
And he is indeed a man who remembers his gratitude. After the Feng Wu brothers and sisters entered the inner gate, he also thought about reporting to the master's gate and letting them go to the elder's cave to practice. However, something went wrong in the process, so he gave up.
Feng Wu was very happy to see him coming. He asked him, "What's going on?" He invited him to sit down and asked, "Brother Han, why did you come here? He didn't send me a letter. Instead, he called me in the house." I've neglected you... Tong'er, you haven't even served tea yet."
However, Han Yang held his hand and glanced at him. Feng Wuming understood what he meant, but he dismissed all the attendants in the hall, leaving only his sister here.
Then Han Yang said: "Brother, let me ask you, is Liao Chengji still causing trouble for you?"
After hearing this name, the faces of Feng Wu brother and sister suddenly changed slightly, with a bit of sadness in their eyes, and they hurriedly said: "Brother Han, don't worry, our family has been operating in that foreign mansion for more than 800 years, how many years do we have?" The foundation is divided, and with the presence of my third uncle, our clan will not suffer any damage."
What he said is true. For the Feng family to gain a firm foothold in Wenxian Valley, just two inner disciples are not enough. There is still an elder in the inner sect who is in the true infant stage. It is a coincidence. After that, he had to enter the house of a true disciple to guard the alchemy furnace and guard the earth fire. As a result, he learned several magical elixir recipes to benefit the tribe and opened an alchemy shop in Wenxian Valley.
And the true disciple was actually a descendant of the aristocratic family. With this power, the Feng family was able to prosper in the outer mansion.
It's a pity that the Feng family prospered because of their alchemy shop, but they also got into trouble for it.
There are very few Taoists in the world who don’t care about external things. In addition to what is needed for their own practice, the food for guests and servants in the cave is a big expense, and relatives and friends also need to move around. If you don’t have the essentials of business, , you will fall into that stretched situation.
The Liao Chengji mentioned by Han Yang was a true infant disciple. Because most of the places where the inner disciples made money were taken by people with extraordinary qualifications and strong backgrounds, the remaining disciples had to turn their attention to the outer palace, and even Go to the realm outside the sect.
Liao Chengji is one of them.
He kept an alchemist in his house, and there was always a surplus of elixirs every month, so he came up with the idea of opening an alchemy shop, hoping to make a profit from it. However, all the elixirs in his shop were left over from the cave's use, so the quality was not good. , not favored by outside disciples, not as good as Feng Family Alchemy Shop.
However, Liao Chengji did not reflect on this, and only listened to the reports from his servants. He felt that the Feng family was blocking his way of making money and wanted to use his power to get rid of him.
