Seeing that Changsheng didn't seem to understand very well, Zhang Mo explained, "The truth is often difficult for people to accept, but no matter how cruel the truth is, it is better than being deceived. If you let them know the truth, they will re-examine what Luo Yangzi did." Because, but Luo Yangzi is no longer here, they love the house and the bird, so they naturally hope to compensate you. My father also thought of this, so he dared to restore Luo Yangzi's Taoist status. Ge Chun will not fall out with my father because of this."
Hearing what Zhang Mo said, the pressure in Changsheng's heart eased slightly. What he was most worried about was that Longhushan turned against Gezaoshan because he had turned against him.
The giant crane flapped its wings and broke through the sky. It was extremely fast and reached the sky above Seoul in less than half an hour. Changsheng was able to recognize the city below because there was a pond to the west of Qin Xiaowei's house, and he had been in the pond before. I have fished before and recognize the shape of the pond.
Marveling at the speed of the giant crane, Changsheng asked curiously, "Uncle Master, where did you and the abbot uncle get the crane?"
"These two white cranes were domesticated by the first generation of Celestial Masters," Zhang Mo said. "They have been living in Longhu Mountain and have accompanied all generations of Celestial Masters for nearly a thousand years. It seems that this kind of spiritual bird that can carry people has long since become extinct. Looking at the world of Kyushu , there won’t be a third one.”
"Oh." Changsheng nodded.
After a brief silence, Zhang Mo spoke up and said, "Don't tell anyone the martial arts secrets you memorized, and you don't need to tell us. Longhu Mountain has its own qi training methods, and there is no need to learn from other sects' martial arts methods. He When you succeed and come down from the mountain, you can try to deal with those martial arts secrets."
"Okay." Changsheng nodded again.
Zhang Mo then asked Chang Sheng about his place of origin and past experiences. Chang Sheng's experience was very simple. He had been living in a remote mountain village in Dengzhou when he was a child, and he had just left there after meeting Luo Yangzi and others.
That day, Zhang Mo from Zige Zao Mountain once asked Chang Sheng how long he had been with Luo Yangzi. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be a deep relationship in less than a month.
Having doubts in his heart, he asked for details. Only then did he find the source of Changsheng's loyalty to Luo Yangzi. That was the appearance of Luo Yangzi and others, which prevented the villagers from beating to death and eating the old scalper that had run out of oil and lamps.
Zhang Mo already had a very good impression of Changsheng, but this time he discovered that he not only had great love and justice for the deceased, but also refused to let down an animal. He was deeply touched, and his appreciation for him increased even more.
At this time, night had already fallen, and seeing Changsheng still looking down from time to time, Zhang Mo knew that he could see at night, so he asked, "The news sent back by Fu Dong and Zheng Daozhi did not mention that you had meditated and practiced Qi. How do you do this?" Will you have spiritual energy cultivation?"
"I only practiced this once." Changsheng said.
It was against common sense to be able to gain spiritual energy after just one Qi practice. Zhang Mo had doubts in his mind and raised his hand to pat Changsheng on the shoulder. When she was at Ge Zao Mountain, she had tapped Changsheng with her Heavenly Thunder Palm. At that time, she It was found that Changsheng did not have any cultivation. When he tried again, there was an obvious reverberation in Changsheng's body. When the spiritual energy moved, his complexion appeared. The light red complexion was indeed the cultivation of the cave god.
"What kind of martial arts are you practicing?" Zhang Mo looked at his palms in confusion. The spiritual energy that bounced back from Changsheng's body actually contained a scorching temperature. Although it was not enough to hurt anyone, it was very hot.
"Hunyuan Divine Skill." Changsheng told the truth.
"Hunyuan Divine Skill?" Zhang Mo repeated to himself, "I seem to have heard of it somewhere. This should be a long-lost qi training method."
"I heard them say that the Hunyuan Divine Art was created by Master Guangcheng." Changsheng said.
"Who do you mean by them?" Zhang Mo asked.
Zhang Mo asked, and Changsheng answered. He had the same feelings towards Zhang Mo and Luo Yangzi. Both of them had helped him when he was in trouble.
The two chatted and chatted, and before they knew it, it was already the third watch, and the giant crane began to fold its wings and descend.
Zhang Mo looked down and said, "We're here."
Changsheng was now able to see at night. When he looked down, he saw towering mountains stretching from east to west. There were more than ten Taoist temples, large and small, built on the main peak, as well as a large number of wooden houses scattered throughout the mountain. At the foot of the mountain There is also a large palace covering an area of several hundred acres. To the east of the palace is a large town with more than a dozen streets and hundreds of various houses.
Directly south of the palace and the town at the foot of the mountain is a river flowing from west to east. The water is gurgling and the waves are sparkling under the moonlight.
The giant crane did not fly to the mountain, but to the palace at the foot of the mountain. In front of the palace was a square paved with bluestones. Although it was the third watch, many Taoists gathered in the square.
Arriving above the square, Zhang Mo floated to the ground with Changsheng in his arms, and then ordered the giant crane to drop the goat.
Zhang Moyan used his spiritual energy to catch the goat, drew a virtual talisman, and released the holding talisman.
At this time, everyone in the square had gathered around, and welcoming Zhang Mo was just an excuse for them. Some people knew what he did in Gezao Mountain, and they also knew that the headmaster and abbot personally went to rescue him. After the news spread, everyone Everyone wanted to see what he looked like.
Everyone was wearing Taoist robes, and Chang Sheng didn't know what generation they were, so he could only hold the goat and salute everyone. He didn't know what to call them, so he could only suppress his embarrassment and smile at them.
The Taoist priests from Longhushan who had participated in the Shangqing Dharma Assembly all knew him, but none of them spoke to him and were not considered acquaintances. However, Sanmuzi and Sanyunzi had interacted with him and were among the crowd when they saw him. When he arrived, he hurriedly stepped forward to thank him and spoke to him. Then he told everyone how miraculous his medical skills were and how he had the recipe for medicine at his fingertips.
Young Master Hei was tied to the stone railing in the northwest of the square. He was already an obedient man. When he saw Chang Sheng coming, he jumped up and hissed hurriedly. His mouth was tied by Chang Sheng, probably because he was worried that he would bite people, and no one dared to do so after he arrived. If you let it go, it can't scream and can only jump around.
Upon seeing this, Changsheng hurriedly confessed to everyone, walked over quickly and untied the cloth from its mouth. Although he knew that it would not run around, he did not untie the rope around its neck. He held the sheep with his left hand and the animal with his right hand.
Previously, Chang Sheng tied it up with his own hands. Young Master Hei was caught by the giant crane and flew from the sky for half a night. He was frightened and very angry. After regaining his freedom, he kept hitting his head against Chang Sheng to vent his dissatisfaction.
Naturally, Young Master Hei would not charge with all his strength, and Chang Sheng would not dodge. He would caress and comfort him with kind words. Only then did Young Master Hei stop charging, but his anger remained, shaking his head and sneezing loudly.
Changsheng knew that everyone was curious about him, but curiosity was curiosity, and everyone's welcome to him was also sincere, which made Changsheng both happy and scared.
Zhang Shan came back early and had already given instructions and arranged a place for Changsheng to live. After meeting with everyone, someone took Changsheng to his place with a blanket under his arm to lead the way.
Zhang Mo walked with Changsheng and introduced him to the situation of Longhu Mountain. There are more than 3,000 Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain. These Taoist priests live in scattered places. Most of them live in Taoist temples at the foot of the mountain. Some high-level practitioners live in Taoist temples at the foot of the mountain. The masters live in other courtyards on the mountain, and some live in the town to the east. Taoist priests of the Shangqing Dynasty can get married. The town to the east is mostly the family members and relatives of the Taoist priests.
The Taoist temple at the foot of the mountain is the Tianshi Mansion, the main hall on the mountainside is the Sanqing Hall, and the Taoist temple at the top of the mountain is the Wuji Temple where the Tianshi Qingxiu was cultivated.
The residence arranged by Zhang Shan for Changsheng is located on the west side of the mountain, halfway up the mountain. It took him a full stick of incense to get there. It is a dilapidated small courtyard with no houses. The courtyard is surrounded by a cave. There are simple living utensils such as wooden beds, tables, chairs and benches in the cave.
After putting down the bedding, the Taoist who led the way left first. Zhang Mo helped Changsheng tidy up the bedding and said, "The mount of the first heavenly master was a tiger. This cave was originally the tiger's residence. Later, walls and gates were built to house people. , tigers lie dormant during the day and come out at night, and do not like the morning sun, so they chose the Western Mountain to live in. It is quite suitable for my brother to arrange you here. Although it is remote, you can clearly see it from Wuji View. If someone tries to plot against you, they will You can also find out in time, and besides, you are too low-level, and if you live too well, you will inevitably attract criticism. If you live here, no one will make any comments or slanders."
Changsheng was looking for a place to tie the sheep in the yard at this time. Hearing Zhang Mo's words, he hurriedly said, "Uncle Master, I'm new here. It doesn't seem good to live in isolation. It's better for me to live with my peers."
"That's not necessary," Zhang Mo said, "You just live here and just eat and practice with them on weekdays."
Changsheng tied the goat and untied the rope from Young Master Hei's neck. Seeing a well in the southwest corner of the yard, he walked over and shook the windlass to draw water for the goats.
Zhang Mo walked out of the cave and said, "It's getting late. You should rest early. I'll come back after dawn."
Changsheng nodded in agreement, sent Zhang Mo out, and watched her go east.
After seeing off Zhang Mo, Changsheng returned to the yard. No one had lived here for a long time. There were some weeds growing in the yard, and some dust fell from all over the cave. After cleaning, he milked the black master and then closed the room. door, lying on the bed.
After many days of wandering, he has become accustomed to living without a fixed place, but he is a little uncomfortable when he suddenly settles down. There are so many Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain, and he will have to deal with many people in the future. This makes him a little frightened, because most of the time since childhood, He lives alone and is not used to interacting with others.
Furthermore, he doesn't know what Taoist priests do every day, but one thing is certain, that is, as a Taoist priest, you can no longer go wherever you want as before, and you can't do whatever you want. There will definitely be more. The constraints of the sect rules also made him quite uneasy.
Hei Gongzi lay down in front of his bed. Seeing Hei Gongzi, Changsheng became more worried. According to Taoist etiquette, Taoist priests are not allowed to ride horses. Even if Hei Gongzi is raised, he will not be able to ride in the future.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt restrained. Others became Taoist priests to practice martial arts and learn magic, but he only became a Taoist priest because he had promised his master, Luo Yangzi. He really couldn't figure out why the master insisted on forcing him to become a Taoist priest, but the Heavenly Master had already I owe my master a great debt of gratitude for being posthumously granted Taoist status. No matter what, this Taoist priest will have to die...
