Xuanyuan mountain top.
A solitary Taoist temple.
Covering an area of two to three acres, the pavilions and pavilions look quite impressive from a distance.
Only when we got closer did we see clearly that most of the palaces were empty. There was not even a covering formation arranged, and some doors and windows had even been removed. It was unclear whether they had been bought or burned.
Zhou Yi pretended to be surprised and said, "Master, isn't Xuanyuan Sect one of the top sects in Shenzhou?"
"Cough cough cough cough!"
Lingweizi coughed a few times in embarrassment. After finally getting a disciple with top-notch bones, he must be used to pass on the Taoism. He must be coaxed, and he rolled his eyes and said.
"Do you know heaven?"
"Of course my disciples know that the legendary abode of the gods is in charge of all living things in the sky and on the earth. The mountain god worshiped in the village is the main god of heaven, and every year he has to sacrifice two big fat pigs!"
Before Zhou Yi came to Xuanyuan Mountain, he had celebrated in the mortal world for more than ten years. He had already known that heaven had become a myth in the eyes of mortals, replacing all the complicated and confusing beliefs in the past.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the God of Heaven is hunting down other divine religions everywhere.
Many religions that were once glorious now only have a few evil god beliefs, and occasionally they are short-lived.
Evil sacrifices and sacrifices are one of the ten unforgiving laws of heaven!
"Niujia Village Mountain God, you are talking about fellow Taoist Shi."
Lingweizi lowered his head and said as he walked: "You should practice well. After the foundation is established, I will take you to visit."
Zhou Yi showed admiration at the right time, "Master is so powerful, he actually knows the mountain god."
"Ha ha!"
Lingweizi smiled proudly, thinking that he was just a mountain boy. Even if he was gifted, he would be easily deceived if he had no knowledge. He struck while the iron was hot and said, "The mountain god is nothing. The master was once the righteous god of heaven, and he was even called a brother to the heavenly master." "
Zhou Yi looked surprised. In order to avoid suspicion, he deliberately chose the Xuanyuan sect, which he had no connection with. Could it be that one of his brothers had changed his sect, so he pretended to be confused and asked.
"Master, my disciple has only heard of the Emperor of Heaven, how come there is a Master of Heaven?"
Lingweizi looked around, waved his hands to set up the soundproof formation, and said in a low voice, "How can those small sects have the right to know the top secrets of heaven? Only the top sects can inherit this!"
Zhou Yi nodded repeatedly, "Master is right, Xuanyuan Sect is the top sect!"
Ling Weizi nodded slightly, "Tianshi means the master of heaven, that is, the founder of heaven. Because he completely changed the world of immortality, he was punished by heaven and has been incarnate for thousands of years!"
You have been punished by God!
Zhou Yi asked, "Then how can the founder of my sect become brothers with the Heavenly Master?"
If any Taoist friend you are familiar with becomes the founder of the Xuanyuan Sect, then you should change the world to practice quietly, so as not to attract old friends from heaven due to causal involvement.
"Before the establishment of the Heavenly Court, the Celestial Master came to ask Patriarch Qing Huan for advice on Taoism. The two discussed Taoism for three years. They met late and became brothers. Therefore, their relationship is both a teacher and a friend."
Ling Weizi stroked his long beard and said, "The establishment of Heavenly Court is indispensable because of the contribution of the ancestors. Now that the sect is declining, we need young people like you to regain the glory of the past!"
Lingweizi often transforms into a fortune teller and travels around the world looking for disciples. He understands the competitiveness of young people very well and can easily predict them without using magic.
Shout a few slogans, set a grand goal, and then tout the young people's bright future, and they will immediately feel refreshed!
As for bragging in the name of the Celestial Master, Lingweizi is not afraid of being found out. First, the Celestial Master Taoism is closed to the public. As long as he does not go to Qingyun Mountain, will the Celestial Master jump out of his grave?
Secondly, the Celestial Master has a wide circle of friends. It is said that he has 800 famous friends and countless unknown friends. Even the Celestial Master's orthodoxy is difficult to determine exactly which close friends he had back then.
So much so that after the death of the Celestial Master, many sects claimed that their ancestors were the sworn brothers of the Celestial Master!
There is no way to know whether it is true or false.
"I see."
Zhou Yi calculated with his fingers and immediately understood the cause and effect. He waved his fist and said, "Disciples will work hard to practice and bring glory to the Xuanyuan Sect!"
"A boy can be taught!"
Lingweizi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and kept the person for the time being. When his life was over and his Taoism passed away, he would pass on the Taoist Immortal Book, and he would be protected by the laws of heaven, and he would no longer be able to change his family.
While the old man and the young man were talking, they walked through the triple doors and came to
Xuanyuan main hall.
There were three Taoist priests in the temple, one fat, one thin, and a small one. The fat and thin Taoist priest looked to be in his thirties, and the younger one was just a girl.
"My teacher had a whim today and learned the secret from divination. After coming down the mountain, I found a good talent and a beautiful jade!"
Lingweizi introduced, "Shitou, these are your three senior brothers and sisters. The fat one is Xuanjing, the thin one is Xuanxu, and the younger one is named Xuanyu."
Zhou Yi quickly bowed and said, "Greetings to senior brother and senior sister!"
Senior Brother Fat and Thin looked indifferent, and even looked at Zhou Yi with a bit of pity. Xuan Yu hummed shyly.
Seeing this situation, Ling Weizi looked a little confused. He coughed lightly and said, "This time I am definitely not bragging for my master. Your junior brother's qualifications are comparable to the Heavenly Spiritual Roots. He will definitely be able to form elixirs in the future!"
"Tianlinggen?"
Fat senior brother Xuan Jing flashed and landed next to Zhou Yi. After casting a spell to explore, he said, "Master, don't delay my future. If Tianlinggen enters the Taoist Academy, you will definitely get the immortal status in the future."
Heaven claims that all living beings are equal, but it is not absolutely fair.
After all, the spiritual roots are arbitrary and cannot be controlled by the gods in heaven. Only spiritual roots are eligible to enter the Taoist Academy, so nine people were eliminated.
Even Taoist students with spiritual roots are divided into three, six or nine grades. The most advanced among them is the Tianlinggen. Basically, as long as they are not stupid, they are equivalent to the recommended students who will go straight to the immortal status.
Brother Shou Xuanxu echoed, "Sending the Heavenly Spiritual Root to the Taoist Academy is a great achievement and can be exchanged for many spiritual stones and spiritual items."
Xuan Jing thought deeply and said, "I have been at the peak of foundation building for decades. Maybe I can change to a spiritual elixir. The breakthrough golden elixir will also have more help."
"It's better to replace it with a superior protective magic weapon."
Xuanxu said, "Senior brother, you can use this to overcome the calamity and condense the elixir. I can also use it in the future. Once the elixir is eaten, it will be gone."
The two fat and thin people talked to each other and sold out Zhou Yi as soon as they spoke. They had already begun to plan how to spend the spiritual stones they received. Xuan Yu, who was beside him and had a reserved temper, couldn't help but say.
"You can buy some rare elixir seeds. When they are old, you can sell more spiritual stones!"
The fat and thin people said in unison, "Junior sister is right."
"enough!"
Lingweizi scolded sternly, interrupting the three people's calculations, and said, "Xuan...Yi, Shitou's Taoist name is Xuan Yi. From now on, I will be a disciple of Xuanyuan and will never go to Laoshizi Taoist Academy."
After shocking the three disciples, he turned around and said pitifully.
"Xuan Yi, my teacher saved your life, you must remember it!"
Zhou Yi quickly pointed to the sky and swore, "Master, don't worry, this disciple will never enter the Taoist academy to study. If he violates the rules, heaven and earth will hate him."
The Taoist Academy is a place where Heaven absorbs fresh blood, and it is related to the inheritance of Heaven's heritage. There are true gods stationed all year round. Even if the strength is not as good as that of human immortals, it is not something that a mere Nascent Soul can hide from.
"good very good."
When Lingweizi heard the oath, he immediately put away his pity and said: "As a master, I will take you to see the ancestor and enter it into the sect's roster. From today on, you will be the disciple of the head of Xuanyuan Sect!"
Then he kowtowed in front of the portrait of Patriarch Xuanyuan, entered it into the roster, and received the apprenticeship ceremony.
A thousand spiritual stones.
Lingweizi took out a book and said, "This is the secret of the sect, the Xuanyuan Body Refining Sutra. It is a rare body refining secret in the Divine Continent that directly points to the transformation of gods. After it is completed, it will be easy to move mountains and get it!"
Zhou Yi bowed and took the book. After flipping through it, he found that the technique was quite mysterious, but it was only in the Qi refining period.
Lingweizi explained, "This is just for you to practice temporarily. When you enter the early stage of physical training and have spiritual consciousness, I will give you the jade slips recording the techniques."
"Thank you, Master."
Zhou Yi received Taoist robes, bedding, and a palace residence of his choice, and began his latent cultivation in Xuanyuan Mountain.
…
Big Moon Country.
Yongyuan Fucheng.
The sky is bright and the mist has not dissipated.
As soon as the soldier on duty opened the city gate, he saw a thin businessman followed by a dozen carriages.
"Is there any guide?"
"Yes, yes."
The businessman took out the road guide, which had the three characters Sun Changsheng written on it, and he came from Nanshui County under Yongyuan Prefecture.
The city gate official checked the authenticity of the road signs and asked, "What are these big cars doing in the city?"
"Go to the west market in the city to buy some cattle, sheep and pigs and transport them back to the south.
Water for sale. "
Sun Changsheng shook his sleeves and dropped a piece of silver. He pretended to be surprised and said, "Master, your silver has fallen!"
The city gate official was stunned, and it took him a long time to react. He stepped on the broken silver under his feet and shouted to the soldiers who opened the door: "Open the door quickly, don't delay Boss Sun's business."
Entered the city.
The convoy went straight to the West Market and rented a conspicuous stall. The clerk started shouting about buying pigs, cattle and sheep.
Sun Changsheng sat on the carriage, slowly sipping tea, and negotiated prices with farmers and merchants when they came to sell goods, and he looked like a real merchant when he compared penny and penny.
Relying on his natural eloquence, no business was left behind.
Near noon, all the carts were loaded with pigs, cattle and sheep and returned along the original road.
Halfway through the convoy, Sun Changsheng saw that there was no one around, so he cast a magic spell, and all the guys disappeared into thin air. He waved his hand and put the car and goods into his sleeves.
Drilled hundreds of feet into the ground. Follow the direction of the cave and escape.
After a while.
The ground ahead suddenly opened up, and a huge cave with a radius of ten miles was hollowed out. Spiritual objects were hung on the top to emit light, and various yin-attribute spiritual herbs and elixirs were planted on the ground.
There are neat rows of houses with apes in Taoist robes meditating or discussing Taoism.
When Sun Changsheng escaped from the light, he immediately attracted a chorus of worshippers. Some called him the king, some called him the master, or the ancestor.
"My children have a good time practicing. After they are promoted to the gods, they will have great opportunities in the world. Even in heaven, they will be able to become officials."
Say it.
Sun Changsheng came to the stone platform in the middle of the cave. There were 48,000 stone monkeys placed on it, densely packed and lifelike, with different sizes, shapes and movements.
Dozens of pigs, cows and sheep flew out of the cuffs and exploded into a rain of blood in the air, falling on the stone monkey. As soon as the blood droplet came into contact, it melted into the stone monkey's body, and the red color became a little deeper.
Sun Changsheng sensed the changes in the stone monkey, and felt a mysterious connection with himself, and his face suddenly lit up with joy.
"As long as there is enough blood, they can come back to life!"
"The quickest way is of course to plunder the creatures from the mountains. It won't take long for them all to be resurrected. However, such evil and heretical behaviors harm the peace of heaven, and they will definitely be hunted down and hunted down by the heavens!"
Now Sun Changsheng is on the most wanted list in heaven, ranking behind the hundred, even worse than the blood bear. The reason is that he has not committed crimes on a large scale.
"Fortunately, I received the teachings from my master. Otherwise, with my original nature, I would not have cared about the large-scale massacre in heaven. I would have completely become an evil heretic and would have no choice but to follow the path of my previous life!"
Sun Changsheng showed gratitude and bowed in the direction of the East China Sea.
"Master often teaches me not to get into trouble and think about problems from another angle! Now with just a little effort, I can buy pigs, cattle and sheep from the human race. Even if the heaven knows about it, there will be no way to convict..."
Thinking of this, Sun Changsheng transformed into a businessman and got out of the ground to look for the city.
…
early morning.
The morning sun is rising, and the sky is purple.
Xuanyuan Mountain.
Senior Brother Xuanjing sat cross-legged, drawing the purple energy from the east into his body, refining it and integrating it into his physical body.
The three figures behind him are Zhou Yi, Xuan Xu, and Xuan Yu. Among them, the one with the lowest cultivation level is not Zhou Yi, but Xuan Yu, a seven-year-old girl who has just reached the seventh level of Qi refining.
Just four months later, Zhou Yi quickly broke through the eighth level of Qi refining.
In the past six months, Lingweizi went to the Patriarch's Hall to burn incense when he had nothing to do, and boasted to his ancestors that he would be able to revitalize the Xuanyuan Sect by recruiting a genius.
Until the purple energy of the morning sun dissipates, today's morning class is over.
Xuan Jing said, "The second brother and the junior sister will go back first. I have something to say with the junior brother."
Xuanxu reminded: "The name of the poor Taoist is Xuanxu!"
"Got it, dick."
Xuan Jing drove the two people away, looked at Zhou Yi who was still working hard to operate the technique, and said: "The way of cultivation is to relax one by one. Don't stress yourself too much. Your qualifications have exceeded 99% of the people in the world."
Zhou Yi slowly finished his work, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother, for your concern. However, if the sect does not regain its former glory, Junior Brother will not dare to slack off at all."
"...."
Xuan Jing was silent for a long time and said tentatively: "Junior brother, have you ever thought that the master is lying?
You? Xuanyuan Sect is just a small sect, it was a thousand years ago, and it is even more so now. "
"How can it be?"
Zhou Yi's expression was suitably unpredictable, with doubts, disappointments, and a hint of stubbornness.
The acting of a 7,000-year-old weirdo is more realistic than the real thing, and no actor can compare with it.
"My junior brother is a smart man. He was originally limited to the knowledge of mountain villages. Now he has opened up his spiritual wisdom by cultivating immortality, asking questions, and reciting scriptures."
Xuan Jing sighed, "I also let the master fool the mountain, saying that the ancient religion, the founder and the legendary immortals are sworn brothers, are actually all fabrications!"
Zhou Yi was surprised and said, "What the master told me is that the Patriarch and the Heavenly Master are sworn brothers..."
The two looked at each other, smiled bitterly and shook their heads.
Lingweizi has completely lost his face for the sake of inheriting the Xuanyuan Sect. He can just lie about his ancestor, a human immortal. Even the Heavenly Master dares to ridicule.
"The laws of the Heavenly Court stipulate that if the sect does not have a successor to the Golden Pill, the Taoist Immortal Book will be returned to the Heavenly Court for sealing. It cannot be retrieved until the True Lord of the Golden Pill appears again."
Xuan Jing said, "Xuan Yuan Sect, not to mention regaining its glory, cannot even maintain its inheritance. Perhaps our generation, or at most the next generation, will completely disappear!"
Zhou Yi asked, "What exactly do you want to say, senior brother?"
Xuan Jing looked at the clouds on the horizon, letting the golden light reflected by the morning sun shine brightly, and said quietly.
"Seeing that this trend is unstoppable, don't be as persistent as the master and think about the inheritance of Taoism. It is common for people who cultivate immortals to change their sects, and immortals also have the opportunity to enter Buddhism from Taoism!"
