Chapter 4: Immortal Disciple
There are green hills, surrounded by fairy clouds, pavilions and pavilions, and fairies playing games around.
Among these mountains, the tallest mountain peak is filled with purple air, giving people a very sacred feeling. Strange flowers and plants are planted on the mountain and the foot of the mountain. A waterfall flies down, like a silver dragon hanging in the void. The whole mountain is filled with peace and tranquility. On the top of the mountain stands a palace, illuminated by fairy lights and resplendent. It is a true residence of gods.
At this time, Yun Fang and Zhou Hao stepped up the bluestone steps. They had to climb three mountains to reach the highest mountain - Yunmiao Fairy Mountain. This was the rule set by the master of Yunmiao Hall: Anyone who first arrives at Yunmiao Immortal disciples who are apprentices must walk step by step from the Immortal Gate to the Immortal Palace on the Immortal Mountain. Of course, this is not a problem for Zhou Hao, who is already an immortal, and will not feel tired at all.
"Master, how many immortals are there in our Yunmiao Immortal Palace? What are the rules of the Immortal Palace?" Zhou Hao, the former Human Emperor and today's Immortal, was as curious about everything as a child at this moment. He looked around. The surrounding mountains filled with fairy spirit and the scattered pavilions on the mountains are infinite scenery.
"Disciple, you must understand the rules from now on. As for Yun Miao's size, including disciples and elders at all levels, there are 300 people, and the elders are all at the Golden Immortal level. Among the disciples, Ruruo has also reached this level. Then you will be recommended to study abroad in the palace. You may go to a powerful immortal to learn superb immortal skills, or you may go to an immortal palace to see a real generation of immortal kings and learn supreme magical powers. Of course, such a disciple You can also stay as an elder to teach new disciples, and the treatment will naturally be no worse than that of ordinary elders. In a word, strong people are respected everywhere!" Yun Fang led Zhou Hao to move forward, constantly answering questions for the new disciples along the way.
"Three hundred, three hundred immortals! In other words, I have joined a camp of immortals! Golden Immortals, strong ones, this vast immortal realm only respects the strong. It seems that I must practice hard in the future to become a shouren. Respectful immortal, becoming an immortal is just the lowest starting point!" Zhou Hao said to himself silently.
"Hey, isn't this Elder Yunfang? What a coincidence. I heard from Master that you have gone out to recruit disciples. Is he the little brother next to you? More than a hundred years have passed. Elder Yunfang has finally started to teach alms bowls again. Really? What a blessing to us, Yunmiao!" At this time, a tall and handsome young man in white clothes walked out of a pavilion, followed by a man and two women.
The four of them are each wearing white, red, yellow and green clothes, with different facial expressions. No matter how you look at them, they look like they are looking for trouble.
Zhou Hao was listening on the sidelines and felt that there was something in the handsome young man's words. But he was too humble to say anything, so he just stared at the man.
"Is this how Nangong Xun taught you to greet your elders? What are you four doing by blocking my way?" Unexpectedly, Yun Fang didn't pay attention to the young man in white at all, and didn't even look at him, but when he stopped what he had just said He said to the four of them seriously.
Although these four men and women did not completely block the way of Yun Fang and Zhou Hao, after all, the space occupied by the four people standing up was there, and Yun Fang was right to say so.
The young man in white clothes at the head was stunned for a moment: I didn't expect this old guy to show off for himself when he came up, and even his master was humiliated by him.
"Why are you still standing there? Didn't you hear what I said clearly? Get out of the way!" Yun Fang's white beard moved without any wind, showing that he was not angry and confident.
"Yunfang, don't toast me and eat the fine wine. You killed my eldest brother. I will always remember this grudge. Today you dare to accept a new disciple. I think you don't take our Yu family seriously at all. I The eldest brother is dead, you should guard his tomb for the rest of your life!" A girl in red had angry eyes, pointing at Yun Fang's nose and shouting.
Yun Fang didn't get angry when he saw this woman's actions, and his eyes suddenly softened: "You are Yu Yang's sister Yu Nan, right? You have grown up in the past hundred years, very good, very good. "
The girl in red was stunned for a moment when she heard this, but she immediately became even more angry: "Yunfang, don't change the subject for me. I have been practicing day and night for the past hundred years, although I know that I can only defeat you. It won’t be possible, but I won’t make it easy for you. Aren’t you accepting a new disciple? If I can’t punish you, I will punish him!”
Zhou Hao's pupils shrank for a while, and the girl in red pointed at him. He felt a strong force stimulating the center of his eyebrows, as if his forehead bones were about to burst. Yun Fang on the side brushed his hands, and Zhou Hao was now safe.
"Listen, little baby, no matter how I explain you will not believe what I say. This is how people are: the facts they believe are the truth. But I tell you, if you want to punish my apprentice, just come up with it If you show your true ability instead of using tricks, you will still have many opportunities in the future, and I also want to see how extraordinary the apprentices Nangong Xunjiao produces are."
After saying these words, Yun Fang took Zhou Hao and teleported to the other side of the pavilion, and his back slowly disappeared in the angry eyes of the four people.
"I'm so angry. Damn Yun Fang. I will kill him sooner or later to avenge my elder brother!" Yu Nan's chest was rising and falling, and there was nowhere to vent his anger.
"Junior sister, there is no need to be embarrassed. There will be plenty of time to express such bad temper in the future. Let his apprentice repay part of Yun Fang's debt first." The man in yellow comforted Yu Nan. His name was Nangong Ying, and he was the son of Nangong Xun.
"Yes, I, Cheng Yan, swear to God that one day I will bring down Yun Fang. Who is he? How dare he ignore me!" The handsome face of the young man in white became extremely ferocious. It was obvious that Yun Fang just ignored him. Not a small blow.
The instigator, Yun Fang, took his new apprentice Zhou Hao all the way over mountains and ridges. On the way, there were many Immortal Palace disciples like the four who just did not like Yun Fang. This made Zhou Hao more and more confused: what did this cheap master do? Is it true that Yun Fang killed his apprentice as they said?
"Master, I think..." Zhou Hao was about to ask when two more immortals came towards him.
"Brother Yun Fang, you have come back to accept a disciple. Is this young man your new disciple? I heard that the other elders of the fifteenth hall also want to accept this lower immortal who unexpectedly ascended from the poor land of the lower world. Well, Brother Yun Fang can actually escape unharmed. I'm afraid it's Brother Yun Fang's Lingxu Immortal Trace that shows its power again, right?" A middle-aged man wearing a green Taoist robe said, the man was holding a whisk in his hand very leisurely , he was smiling, but in Zhou Hao's opinion, this smile had evil intentions.
"Nangong Xun, now I know why your disciple dared to block my way just now. It turns out that every disciple must have his master!" Yun Fang responded with a smile instead of anger when he heard what this man said.
"Brother Yunfang, what are you talking about? Brother Nangong is just saying hello and joking with you. When did he block your way?" The immortal next to Nangong Xun is also a middle-aged man. He is tall and tall, wearing a white robe. There was a bit of disdain on his face.
"Brother Yun Fang, what do you mean by that? Could it be that only you can walk on this stone staircase, and we can't walk on it?" Nangong Xun's eyes turned cold, but he still smiled.
"I didn't say that. It's just that I have to take my disciple to meet the master of the palace. I really don't have time to say hello to you two. I'm sorry to leave first." Yun Fang used Lingxu Fairy Trace again, only he and Zhou Like a ghost, Hao walked around the two people in front of him and continued to climb the stairs.
"Damn Yun Fang, if it weren't for Yun Miao supporting him, I would have killed him long ago."
Seeing Yun and Zhou disappear at the end of the road, before Nangong Xun could say anything, the middle-aged man in white robe couldn't help but said angrily.
"Brother Cheng Bing, don't be angry. Yun Fang has become notorious since that incident. Everyone knows that he will not save his disciple until death. We will bring him down soon. What we have to deal with now is not Yun Fang, but Yun Fang." It's Yun Miao who is right. If I wait a little longer, even if Yun Miao doesn't die, I can achieve the status of Immortal and replace him as the Palace Master. By then, Yun Miao Immortal Palace will have to change its name." Nangong Xun's voice was low. The space within a radius of five miles was blocked, and no one could hear his conversation with the man in white robe.
"Brother Nangong, you have..." The man in white robe was overjoyed after hearing this. He and Nangong Xun were originally brothers. They took refuge in the Yunmiao Immortal Palace a thousand years ago, but the two of them always wanted to take over the position of the palace master.
The mountain water is steaming with purple air, and the flowers and plants along the way are emitting fragrant fragrance. Even the immortals feel refreshed after smelling it. Several longevity deer are chasing each other on the mountainside, and occasionally they fly into the sky. There are also monkeys holding bowl-sized hearts in the trees. It looks quite funny when eating food. However, Zhou Hao had no intention of watching at this time, because what just happened made him full of doubts: Although the old man in front of him was a good person, why was he being made things difficult by others? What had he experienced before?
"Disciple, I know you must have many questions in your mind. Since you worship me as your master, I won't hide anything from you, but I will tell you everything alone after meeting the master of the palace, okay? Master will not lie. Yours." Yun Fang seemed to know what Zhou Hao was thinking, he turned his head and said seriously to Zhou Hao.
"Well, master, I believe you!" Looking at the old man in front of him, Zhou Hao saw a trace of sadness and exhaustion in his eyes. It was not caused by physical fatigue, but by mental and physical exhaustion.
Then the two of them continued on the road with the mood they had just arrived. This was actually the Yunmiao Fairy Mountain, and the two of them were on the mountainside. This mountain is ten thousand feet high. The stone steps between other mountains are connected by a sacred wooden bridge, but this mountain is connected to the mountain next to it by a rainbow. From a distance, a sacred rainbow runs across the two mountains. There are also immortals walking on the rainbow, giving people a strange and bizarre illusion.
Finally, Yun Fang and Zhou Hao arrived at the top of the Immortal Mountain and saw the splendid palace. The four shining golden characters on the main entrance of the palace were extremely majestic and were actually written by the Immortal family.
Yunmiao Immortal Palace!
However, what they saw in front of them was not the gate of the Immortal Palace, but a square, all paved with blue bricks. At this moment, there were dozens of young disciples in white clothes practicing swordsmanship, showing off the secrets of swordsmanship with every move. , they no longer pursue fancy styles, but move as they please. Everyone practices differently. If any mortal swordsman saw them practicing swords like this, they would definitely sneer at it, because in the mortal world so many people practice swordsmanship together. Follow the swordsman's rhythm closely and imitate each move instead of practicing each one's sword at random.
Since Zhou Hao joined the army at the age of seventeen, he has naturally dabbled in all kinds of martial arts in the military camp, especially swords, knives, spears and halberds. In that environment, learning them well is to save one's life, so Zhou Hao's swordsmanship also has a certain height.
"Master, what kind of swordsmanship are these immortal disciples practicing? It makes me want to practice swordsmanship." Zhou Hao followed Yun Fang as he walked through the sword practice square. Some of the disciples around him were still concentrating on practicing. Sword, some saw Yun Fang and said hello, and of course some snorted secretly and avoided Yun Fang...
"This is also your compulsory course: Yunmiao Sword Technique, created by the Palace Master. This sword technique follows the harmony between the individual and nature, and follows the sword path of the unity of heaven and man. You see, although they have different moves, they are all different. , Everyone has his or her own sword moves that follow nature, this is the essence of Yun Miao's sword technique!" Yun Fang pointed at Zhou Hao.
"Yunmiao swordsmanship, the unity of heaven and man. It deserves to be called the Immortal Realm. Compared with the swordsmanship in the mortal world, it is a thousand times better. Just this kind of swordsmanship can already reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship!" Zhou Hao With emotion, he felt very happy in his heart, and all the things in the Immortal Realm opened his eyes.
After crossing the palace gate, we came to the Immortal Palace. The decoration here is gorgeous but elegant. The main hall is supported by four golden pillars. The overall space is wide and can accommodate at least a thousand people. At this time, there is a person sitting in the main hall. Among the three people, one in the middle was dressed in a gold and silver Taoist robe, with a green hairpin in his hair. He had a clear face, and his snow-white hair stretched straight down his back. Needless to say, he was the master of the Yunmiao Immortal Palace - Yunmiao Shangxian.
"Yun Fang and his disciple Zhou Hao meet the Palace Master and Deputy Palace Master!"
At this time, Yun Fang and Zhou Hao quickly bowed their heads and bowed their hands. According to Yun Miao's rules: when they see the palace master and deputy palace master, they only need to stand and salute, and there is no need to kneel down.
"Well, let's get up! Yun Fang, did you have a smooth journey when you went out to recruit disciples this time?" Immortal Yun Miao said.
"It went smoothly, but Caixiang Palace actually sent someone here, which was unexpected," Yun Fang said.
"It's indeed strange. The master of Caixiang Palace has an unpredictable temperament, and he comes from the sacred peacock lineage. This time we are against him. We don't know how he will view Yunmiao Palace in the future." Sitting on the left side of Yunmiao Shangxian was a man. A short fat man, who looked like Maitreya Buddha, narrowed his eyes slightly and said worriedly.
"No matter what he thinks of Yunmiao Palace, we Yunmiao are still afraid of him. Since he came here to build the Immortal Palace, it means that the Peacock Clan behind him has abandoned him. I would like to see a person who only knows how to do things in a low-key manner. How powerful can the immortal spirit be!" A tall and muscular middle-aged man on the right retorted to Fatty Maitreya.
"The top priority right now is the martial arts competition among the Immortal disciples at the Halls Conference in thirty years' time. The top three will be sent to the Human Immortal Cave to compete for destiny. Who do you think Yunmiao Immortal Palace has the best chance of winning? What?" Yun Miao went to the immortal path.
"Palace Master, there are three people in our palace who are most likely to win. They are Elder Nangong Xun's son and disciple Nangong Ying, Elder Li Qionghua's disciple Su Qing, and Elder Yu Fan's daughter Yu Nan." The middle-aged man replied.
"Yu Nan? She is the sister of that genius disciple Yu Yang, right? The Yu family is so lucky! Oh, by the way, Yun Fang, you should pay a visit to the Yu family after being closed for a hundred years and offer Yu Yang a stick of incense. Ah." Master Yunmiao seemed to have remembered something and looked at Yun Fang below.
"I know, Palace Master, if nothing happens, I will go down first. The new apprentice is not familiar with Yunmiao Immortal Palace yet." Yun Fang looked indifferent, no one could understand his heart.
"Well, let's go down." Immortal Yunmiao nodded.
Then Yun Tuesday left the Yunmiao Immortal Mountain in a cloud. Yunfang's dojo was in another mountain. This Yunmiao Immortal Mountain only allowed three people, the hall master and the deputy hall master, and their disciples to live all year round.
The Immortal Realm is also divided into day and night, but there are eighteen hours in a day. Only in the morning can Yunmiao disciples come to the square on Yunmiao Immortal Mountain to practice swordsmanship, usually for three hours.
Above a white cloud, Yun Fang fiddled with the cloud head to land on a green mountain. These green mountains have been transformed by immortals. The seemingly flat top of the mountain was actually flattened by immortals.
There are no gorgeous palaces sitting on the top of the mountain in front of you. There are just small bridges and flowing water, houses and a few bamboo houses. The bamboo used is cut from a dense bamboo forest on the top of the mountain. This bamboo forest was created by Yunfang thousands of years ago. plant.
Zhou Hao followed Yun Fang all the way and stepped onto a small bridge. The bridge was across a fairy lake. The water of the lake was blue and looked very beautiful. From a distance, it looked like a sapphire inlaid on the ground. There are also water lilies, and several fiery red fish swim around beside the water lilies, seeming to enjoy themselves with the tourists.
"This is the heart-nourishing lotus, which can heal the soul. Practicing next to it can quickly calm your mind and enter the state of enlightenment. This fish is called squid, and it has extremely high medicinal value. It can be used to replenish blood and heal injuries." Yun Fang introduced. .
"Hey, Master, there is a person standing there, is he looking for you?" Zhou Hao was listening carefully to Yun Fang's words, but his eyes were suddenly attracted by a figure in the bamboo house in front of him.
The two of them looked at the figure together, and it turned out to be a graceful female immortal. She was standing in front of the bamboo house with a long sword on her back. At this time, she also saw the master and the apprentice.
Their eyes met, and the three of them were silent. However, Zhou Hao, as a king, had seen countless beauties and was amazed by the grace of the woman in front of him.
The female fairy was dressed in plain clothes, with long black hair reaching her waist, and a tall and outstanding figure. Her eyes were like water, her nose was straight, her lips were red, and she had a beautiful face that could be broken by a bomb. She was even more beautiful than Yu Nan, the woman in red just now. She was several times more beautiful. At this moment, she stood quietly under the bamboo house, feeling neither joy nor sorrow. Just like that, the scene she was in was already a beautiful picture!
For a moment, the master and apprentice, the old and the young, were stunned.
