After three months.
Wuyuan Valley - Inner Valley.
The morning light first appears and everything wakes up.
The bamboo forest near Qingzhu Lake is lush and green, with many crisscrossing bamboo paths.
A man is walking quickly on the bamboo forest path.
He is short and fat, wearing a fat green robe. He is only more than half the height of an ordinary person, but his movements are still extremely agile, and he can reach nearly two meters in one step.
In the bamboo forest.
The chirping sounds of many insects came and went.
"I heard that Professor Huang Balang was teaching this morning. He explained the differences between talisman paper, talisman pens, spiritual ink and other things last time.
I think this time I should talk about how to make talismans. Instructor Huang is the most proficient in making talismans in the Zhao family. He must not be late today. "
The short, fat man was walking quickly while silently thinking about his own affairs.
Zhao Dalang.
Or rather Zhao Fulang.
Back then, he caught his mother-in-law having an affair with someone else, and he was so angry that he beat the man to death regardless. But he didn't expect that it was a blessing in disguise, and he awakened his spiritual roots, and he also had the three spiritual root qualifications.
Since then.
He then found out his seniority, escaped from the ordinary world, and soared into the sky.
Become an immortal cultivator that everyone admires.
After becoming an immortal cultivator, he realized that being an immortal cultivator is not as easy as it seems. Although he is majestic in the world, in the entire world of immortal cultivation, he, a newcomer to the immortal cultivator, is just an ant-like existence.
He also understands.
The reason why the Zhao family moved frequently.
It is because the Zhao family has a very low status in the world of immortality, so they do this as a last resort.
"Junior Brother Fulang."
As Zhao Fulang was hurrying on his way, he suddenly heard someone calling him and quickly looked up.
He saluted and said, "I have met Senior Brother Bai."
On the fork in front, there is a monk wearing a yellow robe. He is thin and has long and flat cheeks. He looks like a slender bamboo pole, as if a gust of wind can blow him over.
One is thin, one is fat, one is tall and one is short!
In sharp contrast to Zhao Fulang's figure.
Zhao Fulang knew the person in front of him.
His surname is Bai and his given name is Su Tian. He is also qualified for the Three Spiritual Roots and is similar in age to him. The two get along very well with each other. Bai Sutian has entered the world of immortality at a longer age than Zhao Fulang, so when he encounters any confusion, he often asks the other person for help. consult.
"Haha, Junior Brother Zhao is also going to the Dharma Pavilion?" Bai Sutian asked with a smile.
"That's right."
Zhao Fulang nodded, scratched his head, and said honestly: "Senior Brother Bai, are you going too?"
In Zhao Fulang's eyes.
Bai Sutian is a very special monk. He is not a monk with the original surname of the Zhao family, and he joined the Zhao family as a casual cultivator. However, his treatment is no worse than that of the original members of the Zhao family, or even worse.
If you need to arrange tasks.
The other party can always receive easier tasks.
There are rumors among the younger disciples of the Zhao family that Bai Sutian is the illegitimate son of a big shot in the Zhao family, but Zhao Fulang is doubtful about this.
"right."
"Instructor Huang Balang only teaches once a month, and it is one of the few ways to teach talismans. You can't miss it. Let's go together."
Zhao Fulang is incompetent.
The two immediately walked together.
The bamboo forest near Qingzhu Lake is quite large, and many important buildings are built in it. Just after the two of them walked out, the bamboo forest next to them suddenly became sparse, and there was a faint white mist rising from the bamboo forest.
If you look carefully.
You can suddenly find that there are tombstones of various sizes on both sides of this section of the road.
came here.
The chatter and laughter between Zhao Fulang and Bai Sutian immediately stopped.
His face was solemn.
Pass quickly.
These are the tombstones and ashes moved from Weishan Zhongyi Temple. They can be buried in the bamboo forest. They are all people who have contributed to the Zhao family. Zhao Fulang and Bai Sutian also participated in the burial, so they understand this all too well.
Any tribesman who passes by here.
They will not make any noise to maintain respect for their ancestors.
It is said that the top leaders of the Zhao family are discussing whether to rebuild the Zhongyi Temple. Some tribesmen believe that burying meritorious monks in the bamboo forest can be often seen by the younger generations, so as to warn the younger generations to strive for more blessings and not to slack off.
But there are also some tribesmen.
I think the form of Zhongyi Temple is the best.
Therefore, the two parties continued to argue and put the matter aside for the time being.
"Junior Brother Fulang, we're here."
soon.
The two of them saw a bamboo forest courtyard with a plaque on the door saying - Dharma transmission hall.
"Junior Brother Fulang, Junior Brother Bai."
"Senior Sister Meng."
When they came to the vicinity of the teaching hall, they could see more monks coming here from various roads. Zhao Fulang and Bai Sutian greeted their close fellow disciples one after another and entered the teaching hall hand in hand.
Although the Zhao family has no restrictions on the clan members who come to the Chuanfa Hall to study.
But usually the people who come here are the younger ones who have newly awakened their spiritual roots. Those elderly monks can't help but listen to the lectures in the same class as the younger ones. Besides, they focus on improving their cultivation.
Instead of getting involved in these time-wasting skills.
"Good morning, Junior Brother Zhao."
"Good morning, Senior Brother Bai."
"..."
Zhao Fulang and Bai Sutian walked into the courtyard.
Immediately, more people greeted them one after another, and both of them responded politely.
Among the younger disciples.
Qualifications for three spiritual roots are still in the minority.
As rare members of the Three Spiritual Roots tribe, once they appear in front of their peers, they will naturally be sought after by the cultivators.
Zhao Fulang grinned even more and his smile became more honest.
After he entered the world of immortality.
No one will laugh at him because of his figure anymore, at least no one will say so on the surface. I don’t know how many times he is happier than the ordinary people.
There is a strange phenomenon.
The monks surrounding Zhao Fulang were basically all ordinary people who had awakened their spiritual roots. They all had one thing in common, that is, they had no elders who were cultivators of immortality.
So in the world of immortality.
In addition to relying on the spiritual stones and elixirs distributed monthly by the Zhao family.
If you want to get more resources, you can only receive the tasks yourself in exchange for rewards.
And the immortal cultivators around Bai Sutian.
They are all juniors of the casual cultivators in the Foreign Affairs Hall. They have gone through a lot of training since childhood and seem to be much smarter than the cultivators next to Zhao Fulang.
in this way.
The cultivators chatted and exchanged words in the courtyard.
Soon more than ten tribesmen came over, including several with three spiritual roots, three of whom were monks with the original surname of the Zhao family, and all of them had elders who were cultivators of immortality. After they came, many vassals gathered around them.
This group of monks.
All of them are descendants of the Zhao family's immortal cultivators. Their elders hold many powers in the Zhao family, so they are also the most domineering group of cultivators.
A group of ordinary people who have awakened their spiritual roots.
There are also descendants of immortal cultivators and casual cultivators of the Foreign Affairs Hall.
They are the three main groups among the younger generation disciples.
There is also Mu Caosi.
She is the daughter of Mu Yangqiu, the leader of the Meiling Hall.
Although she also has the qualification of three spiritual roots, she is only eight years old. She is accompanied by two maids when traveling. The maids both possess innate martial arts and do not allow outsiders to approach easily.
What's strange is that.
Whether it was Zhao Fulang, Bai Sutian or other monks, they all talked in low voices and did not dare to play around.
It's almost the time when the cultivators arrive.
"go in."
"Senior Brother Bai, please go first."
"Junior Brother Shang has the highest cultivation level, so I invite you first."
"..."
Seeing that the Dharma Teaching Hall was right in front of us, no one among the cultivators was willing to enter first, so they all found excuses to refuse.
"If you don't come in, then I will."
Good thing.
A milky voice broke their awkwardness.
It was Mu Caosi.
After she finished speaking, she walked towards the Chuanfa Hall with three small steps. The two maids looked at each other and showed helpless smiles. They carefully escorted their master. After waiting for the entrance of the Chuanfa Hall, they stood outside the door. .
They cannot enter inside.
Mu Caosi walked into the Dharma Teaching Hall.
He was surprised to see a beautiful woman sitting inside. The woman was wearing a white robe and was extremely beautiful without any makeup. Just looking at her lightly, Mu Caosi suddenly felt that the surroundings were much colder.
It’s not really getting cold.
But my heart suddenly became cold.
This beautiful woman's face was expressionless, sitting there like an iceberg that lasted ten thousand years, which made Mu Caosi feel a little uneasy.
"Can't cry, can't cry..."
Mu Caosi was startled.
She had been to the Dharma Hall before, but only once. That time her father brought her there, and she did not see the woman in front of her. This time, her father originally wanted to send her, but Mu Caosi sternly refused.
Other senior brothers and sisters don’t need to give it away.
Naturally, she didn't need to send him away. Her father couldn't resist her, so he arranged for two maids and sisters to follow him.
For a while.
Mu Caosi finally came to her senses. She remembered her father's instructions that anyone she met in the Dharma Transmission Hall should be called senior brother or senior sister.
Think of this.
Mu Caosi made a polite gesture and said: "Mu Caosi... Mu Caosi pays homage to Senior Sister."
Mu Caosi didn't know at all.
She was already short in stature, but had a round face, and her milky voice made her look even more comical when she saluted.
"Well, sit down."
Mu Caosi seemed to smile when he saw the woman in front of him.
But I'm not sure.
Because the other party has a beautiful and fairy temperament, coupled with a cold expression that does not allow strangers to enter, he is like a fairy descending from heaven, who can only be watched from a distance but not played with.
She couldn't help but be cautious.
Quietly, he went to the back to find a table and sat cross-legged on the yellow futon.
soon.
Then someone else came in.
"Hello, Senior Sister Yu."
The visitor was Zhao Fulang. This time he no longer smiled naively. After entering, he bowed respectfully and immediately found a seat at the back to sit down.
"Hello, Senior Sister Yu."
"Good morning, Junior Sister Yu."
"..."
The cultivators came in one after another, and all of them saluted the woman before going to the back to find a seat.
Women occupy an exclusive row.
No one is approaching, and it is extremely eye-catching.
The woman is naturally Zhao Fuyu.
As someone who often accompanies Zhao Yongqi, many monks secretly speculated about their relationship, so the monks did not dare to get close to her, and Zhao Fuyu had a frosty look on her face.
Also discouraged many people with ulterior motives.
After arriving at the Foreign Affairs Hall.
Because of Zhao Fuyu's presence, many monks became much quieter, not even whispering.
That's not what they wanted to say today.
The message will be sent to Zhao Yongqi tomorrow.
This is why, just now, everyone was chatting in the courtyard with tacit understanding, and no one asked to come in.
Mortal spiritual root groups, descendants of immortal cultivators and descendants of casual cultivators.
these three groups.
No matter what type of person they are, they are reluctant...or dare not contact Zhao Fuyu. After all, Zhao Fuyu represents the clan leader Zhao Yongqi!
In case something goes wrong.
I'm afraid I won't be able to hang out in the Zhao family.
To this day.
The authority of the head of the Zhao family is growing day by day, especially among the younger generation disciples, even those who are also disciples of the "Yong" generation.
He didn't regard Zhao Yongqi as a peer at all.
...
When everyone has different thoughts.
A monk in red robes walked in quickly. His face looked middle-aged, with a short black beard and a huge mole at the corner of his eye. He exuded powerful spiritual power fluctuations.
The red-robed monk walked straight to the lecture table and faced all the monks present.
I saw him wave his hand.
A light flashed on the door, and it closed with a creak.
"I, Huang Balang, have met all of you fellow Taoists."
The red-robed monk clasped his fists and said.
Suddenly.
All the monks on the scene immediately stood up, saluted respectfully and said in unison: "I've seen Professor Huang!"
In the Zhao family’s original system.
It has its own generational inheritance.
For example, the generation with the character "福" and the character "yu" are of different generations. Normally, Zhao Fuyu would call Zhao Yongwen his aunt.
However, because there have been too many casual cultivators in recent years, they do not have the seniority of the Zhao family, so naturally they cannot be called according to the seniority of the Zhao family.
So it's not that rigorous.
Although there is no express provision.
However, for the convenience of the monks, this seniority-based title gradually began to fade away, and gradually began to evolve like a sect.
Address senior brothers and sisters according to their level of cultivation.
This change started with the younger disciples, but has begun to spread to the original Zhao family monks.
Zhao Yongqi did not stop him.
"Sit down."
"Today I will talk about the drawing of runes."
"Legend has it that there was no writing in ancient times, but great powers discovered that many natural symbols of survival contain great power. These are the first runes. Each of these runes has the power to change the world and move mountains and seas. But it has long been lost.”
"The runes you are exposed to today have all been simplified countless times..."
Huang Balang explains it in simple terms and slowly.
All the cultivators were mesmerized when they heard this.
Many monks took pens and ink and wrote straight down, recording all Huang Balang's words.
Huang Balang was originally a casual cultivator.
Although he looks middle-aged, he is actually close to a hundred years old. He has long given up hope in building a foundation. The reason why he joined the Zhao family is that he hopes to spread his branches and continue the family lineage in the last stage of his life.
His ideas coincided with Zhao Yongqi's, and he also mastered the drawing methods of five kinds of talismans.
So it was easy to join the Zhao family.
After arriving at Zhao's house, he did not disappoint Zhao Yongqi. He had already taken in twenty-eight concubines, and most of the concubines were pregnant. Zhao Yongqi often mentioned this and praised him in every meeting.
But many monks didn't buy it.
Like Huang Balang's squandering.
It can be said that if there was originally a 5% chance of foundation building, now it is only possible to have a one-thousandth chance. After all, singing every night is also an act that greatly damages the vitality of immortal cultivators.
After Zhao Yongqi found Huang Balang.
Yan Ming wanted him to serve as a lecturer at the Dharma Teaching Hall, but the other party agreed without much consideration.
Although just a lecturer.
But respecting teachers and respecting Taoism is a concept that is deeply rooted in the hearts of people in the world of immortality.
He was able to teach in the Chuanfa Hall.
It can also be regarded as a good relationship for future generations. Maybe if any of the descendants are in trouble in the future, they will appreciate his favor.
Some help will be given.
He looked at the monk listening to his lecture in front of him.
Huang Balang felt a little envious in his heart. These people in front of him were born in a good time. There might be foundation-building monks among them in the future, and their luck would be much better than that of Huang.
