When Nie Zhong heard the footsteps, he opened his eyes and glanced at Liu Qingyi. There seemed to be a look of approval on his face. He nodded slightly, then closed his eyes again and meditated.
Liu Qingyi bowed to Nie Zhong, then walked to stand beside Bu Jiu and waited quietly.
He looked at Nie Chong who was meditating in front of the Chongming Hall, and saw that he looked very majestic, but he felt a sense of kindness and closeness for no reason. Every bit of the past was vivid in his mind, and he had mixed feelings in his heart.
He was expelled for a foul at the Lan County Spirit Selection Ceremony. Meng Nie made an exception and was admitted as a gray-clothed disciple and brought him to the mountain gate. As a gray-clothed disciple, he won the top ten in the sect competition, and thus was given the Spiritual Pill and received an external invitation. mission, and later went to Juntian County to attend Zi Yanguo's appointment to participate in the Southern Realm Fairy Products Conference. After several encounters, he finally broke through to the Tongyuan Realm, but by coincidence, he became a disciple of Nie Zhong.
It can be said that if Nie Zhong had not made an exception and accepted him as a disciple of the Heavenly Beast Sect, Liu Qingyi would not have joined Miaoyuan Peak today.
As a modern person, Liu Qingyi, even though he received the latest education, could not forget the word kindness and righteousness, and he also knew the weight of "the king of heaven and earth, the king, the teacher".
"Hey, this man will be his master from now on." Liu Qingyi looked at Nie Zhong, who had white hair and beard, and felt eager and excited in his heart.
After waiting for more than three hours, Yan Kuan and Li Deqiang finally walked up with help. As soon as they stepped on the top of the mountain, they were panting like cattle, sweating profusely, their skin was faintly red, and there were several bruises.
Although Yan Kuan's body was limp, he could still stand, but Li Deqiang was completely exhausted. He relied on Yan Kuan's support to walk up. Most of his body weight almost fell on Yan Kuan's body.
Arriving in front of the Chongming Hall, Yan Kuan glanced at Liu Qingyi and Bu Jiu, who had arrived first, with a complex expression. Without saying a word, he only bowed to Nie Chong and then stood aside with Li Deqiang to take a breather.
Nie Zhong looked at Yan Kuan and Li Deqiang, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes at first. When he saw the two of them helping each other, he finally said with a smile: "Although you two are a little dull, you are also the best in our sect." The meaning of helping each other is worthy of my honor."
As he spoke, he turned his head and said to Bu Jiu and Liu Qingyi: "Although you two have good understanding, you are both walking alone, which is a bit unreasonable."
When Bu Jiu and Liu Qingyi heard this, their eyes flickered, and they both lowered their heads and remained silent.
Then I heard Nie Zhong say: "All four of you, come to me. When I give you the Taoist title, you can also perform the apprenticeship ceremony."
After listening to Nie Zhong's words, Liu Qingyi and the other four people gathered together and stood in a row in front of Nie Zhong.
Nie Zhong looked at the four people one by one, and said with a solemn expression: "I am the disciple of the previous elder Mingtuo of the Heavenly Beast Sect. The ancestor Mingtuo was of the Ming generation, and he was passed down to my generation as the Chong generation. My lineage is Mingzhong. The Yunqing, Xiaoyuan and Luode schools are descended from each other, and your generation is the generation with the character 'Yun'. The generation can be a Taoist surname. When I give you the name, you will use this Taoist name to rank me as the first in Miaoyuan Peak. The lintel of the pulse gate. The Taoist name is the internal name of my lineage. You can call me by my original name externally, but you have to distinguish your seniority internally. If you inherit my mantle, you must remember the Taoist seniority of the sect and always remember it. Dharma origin. Can you hear me clearly?"
All four people answered: "Clearly."
Nie Zhong lowered his head and muttered for a long time: "'The lotus is in front of the hall at dawn, the sky is bright and the rain is clanging', so I will give you the names of the four of you with the name of 'tianming', 'raining' and 'zheng'. I just looked at your bone age, it's Therefore, Yan Kuan is the eldest, Bu Jiu is the second, Li Deqiang is the third, and Liu Qingyi is the youngest. In this way, I gave Yan Kuan the Taoist name 'Yuntian', Bu Jiu the Taoist name 'Yun Ming', and Li Deqiang the Taoist name ' Yun Yu', Liu Qingyi's Taoist name is 'Yun Zheng'. You all will immediately kneel three times and kowtow nine times, and this ceremony of becoming a disciple will be completed."
The four of them kowtowed as they were told. When Liu Qingyi followed the three of them and knelt one by one, they found that the three kneeling and nine kowtows were the same as those in the original world.
After everyone had finished the ceremony, Nie Zhong said with a slightly complicated expression: "I came back injured from the Dongling Immortal Kingdom. Not only did the immortal beast die, but my own realm also fell several levels. I didn't want to accept any more disciples. But the beast sect is not prosperous, so I The lineage of Miaoyuan Peak is even more neglected. During these years of seclusion, I have thought about my profound kindness to my teacher several times. I don’t want the lineage of Miaoyuan Peak to be cut off by me, so I will try my best to continue it.”
Speaking of this, Nie Zhong said in a solemn voice: "Yuntian, Yunming, Yunyu, Yunzheng, you have inherited the Yunzi Taoist lineage of my Miaoyuan Peak. You should visit Yangon, Miaoyuan for several generations, and follow me to Chongming Hall to pay homage." Patriarch."
After finishing his words, Nie Zhong stood up immediately, led several people into the Chongming Hall, and knelt down towards a black-topped niche in the hall. Following Nie Zhong's kowtow, several people kowtowed in unison.
Liu Qingyi looked up at the niche and saw several spiritual tablets made of black wood placed on it. Elder Mingtuo's tablet only occupied the position on the right side. The two spiritual tablets in the middle were "Elder Tian'an". , one is "Elder Zhenyun", he looks really eye-catching, he couldn't help but secretly thought: "These two people may be a bit senior, I wonder which one is the first generation ancestor of Miaoyuan Peak?"
After several people kowtowed, Nie Zhong waited for the four of them to stand up and stand in awe, and explained: "I have been in seclusion for a hundred years as a master and have not dealt with worldly affairs. The rules on the peak are simple. First, you must not kill each other in the same sect; second, you must not kill innocent people indiscriminately. Those are the two things. You should keep this in mind!"
Yan Kuan took the lead and said, "Disciple, I have recorded it." The other three people responded one after another.
Nie Dian nodded, looked at Yan Kuan and said: "From now on, my master will preach at this 'Chongming Hall' every half month. Yuntian, as the chief of this peak, is responsible for bringing three junior disciples here every time." Do you understand that I usually assist and supervise the cultivation matters of several junior disciples as a master, but I must first be diligent and uphold myself and set an example for all the disciples?"
Yan Kuan's eyes were firm and he said seriously: "Disciple understands."
Nie Zhong turned to a few people and said: "What was passed down from the peak is not displayed in the Immortal Arts Pavilion. It must not be passed on to others. Even if you communicate with the disciples of other peaks, you should keep silent and do not pass on the important meaning."
Yan Kuan stretched his neck and replied: "Understood." The other three people also responded and confessed.
Soon, Nie Zhong sat on a futon in the Chongming Hall. He asked the four people to sit down one after another and began to teach and teach.
"Monks need to know the five essentials of the immortal way to practice. This is also the greatest basis for monks to travel in the immortal world. The so-called five essentials, in order of importance, are: technique, equipment, materials, ground, and companions."
"The first important 'skills' are naturally various immortal techniques and unique immortal arts. This is the foundation of monks' practice. It was called the foundation-building technique in ancient times and is the most important first joint. Without these skills and immortal arts, At the foundation, a monk is like a tree without roots, and all the tools, materials, ground, and companions behind it are of no use."
"The second important weapon is to use some magic weapons and spiritual objects to improve one's offensive and defensive power. The most common weapons are knives and swords commonly used in immortal sects. The grade of the weapon should be when you get started. I have heard from the elders who have taught me that the higher the level, the more powerful they are, and the more tyrannical magic they can carry. The beast spirit ring created by the Heavenly Beast Sect for each disciple is unique to our beast control sect. The weapon, combined with the sect's magic and skills, is the most suitable magical weapon for the beast sect disciples to use. With the help of the ring fusion technique, we no longer have to look for other higher-level replacement magic weapons, which is a major advantage for us beast sect disciples. .”
"The third important 'material' is all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, as well as various precious elixirs refined from them. The rarer the elixir, the scarcer its materials are, so those that can truly be called The treasures of heaven and earth that can be used to refine rare elixirs are things that can be encountered but cannot be sought. Often, once they appear in the world, there will be a large number of immortals competing for them, and only those with great luck can obtain them."
"The fourth important point is 'land', which refers to the blessed land of the cave that is suitable for cultivation. The six peaks of our inner gate of the Heavenly Beast Sect are one of them. A huge spiritual vein is suppressed at the bottom of the great formation at the foot of the mountain. After the efforts of several generations of disciples of the Heavenly Beast Sect, , and with the blessing of various small mineral veins from various places, this spiritual vein has grown stronger day by day, making Tianshou Mountain one of the three rare cultivation treasures in the southern border."
"The fifth important point is 'companion', which refers to a monk's Taoist companion on the path to immortality. If he can meet a suitable monk of the opposite sex, and they fall in love with each other, they can learn an orthodox double cultivation method together, whether the methods are complementary or overlapping. Both of them are of great help, and can also increase each other's cultivation speed. The so-called dual cultivation here is not the yin and yang two cauldrons of the evil monks, but the yin and yang combined to control the heaven and earth. Law."
"The inheritance of the sect is the "skill" in the Five Essentials. Our Tianshou Sect's original Xutian Yuling Jue is the secret that is not passed down by the Beast Control Sect. The Taoism based on this technique stretches, and each peak has its own Unique. The secrets of this sect's Xutian Gong to connect the Yuan Realm are: the correspondence between heaven and man, the analysis of ten thousand yuan, the elixir pot refining and accumulating, building and reunifying into one, there is an inch of crossing, the spiritual accumulation is dug at the bottom, the bridle Yuan gathers at the top, and Yang The wheel opens..."
"The core essence of this sect's spirit-control techniques are: channeling, transmutation, possession, blessing, combined attack, and transformation, collectively referred to as the "Six Spirit-Control Techniques."
"The first art of 'channeling' is for humans and immortal beasts to share perspectives and communicate with each other, thereby promoting the cultivation of immortal beasts, awakening the power of their bloodline, and polishing their innate skills. The channeling art of our Heavenly Beast Sect is branded with soul chains To communicate with fairy beasts, the beast-controlling monks of the Dongling Fairy Kingdom use the 'Star Turn Technique' to control spirits. This technique is more effective than the soul chain of our Heavenly Beast Sect, and is more closely connected with the fairy beasts. It can often be achieved The minds are connected, and the fighting is more flexible. The uniqueness of my Heavenly Beast Sect Soul Chain Technique is that it is more reliable and stable. Unlike the 'Star Turn Technique', which requires the help of the power of the stars and the moon, once it is not With the power of the stars and the moon, the cultivation of immortal beasts often stagnates.”
"The second technique, 'Turn Yuan', uses the vitality of heaven and earth as a medium to communicate with the spiritual energy and energy in humans and animals. After you advance to the Tongyuan realm, the mottled spiritual energy in your body will gradually turn into a spirit that contains part of the vitality of heaven and earth. Ling Yuan, taking advantage of the fact that the Ling Yuan can be transported more quickly, can be used to communicate and share the Ling Yuan with the branded fairy beast."
"The third technique, 'Possession', is to possess the imprinted fairy beast into a human body in its animal form, thus making the person possess some of the innate skills and attributes of the fairy beast. Although this technique is simple, it is the riskiest. Because once the monk is possessed by the animal nature Corrosion often leads to instability of the mind, madness, dementia, and even the danger of becoming possessed. Therefore, there are very few people in our beast sect who practice this technique over the years."
"The fourth technique, 'Blessing', is to add the monk's personal attributes to the immortal beast, or to apply a unique magical technique to the immortal beast to enhance its status. The difficulty of this technique is that the soul chain channel must be wide enough, the spirit ring, etc. The level should be as high as possible, otherwise it often consumes a lot of energy, has poor results, and has a ridiculously short duration."
"The fifth technique, 'Combined Strike', also known as the Double-Evolving Heaven Strike Technique, is a combined strike magic technique practiced by monks and summoned immortal beasts. This technique can be said to be the foundation of the beast-control sect. It is often extremely powerful, and one move will definitely win. There is a negative effect. There is a disadvantage in using this technique, that is, once this technique is used, it often consumes a lot of spiritual energy in the bodies of monks and immortal beasts, and it takes a long time to recover."
"The sixth art, 'Metamorphosis', is the ultimate form of the late-stage fairy beasts. These high-level fairy beasts can often change at will, and have some abilities related to changing living things. This technique is roughly divided into Gangbian and Shabian. It is of great significance to you now. It’s still too early to tell, because this technique requires too high levels of cultivation for immortal beasts, so you can have a brief understanding without going into details.”
