Looking up at Wudang Mountain and the buildings on the mountain, Li Qing was stunned.
"Let's go up the mountain." Zhang Yuanqing said with a smile, "Are you feeling a little timid after not coming back for a long time?"
Li Qing recovered his mind and sighed softly: "There are indeed some, let's go."
Two people mountain climbing...
Li Qingxuan, wearing black clothes and trousers, does not look like a Taoist priest. On the other hand, Zhang Yuanqing's Taoist robes of a heavenly master are particularly eye-catching. Anyone who is not blind can identify him.
The two of them were chatting while winding their way up the mountain. Soon, they met a young Taoist priest.
The man looked at Zhang Yuanqing and then at Li Qing. His face was dull. He rubbed his eyes vigorously and looked at the two of them again.
Li Qing smiled and explained: "This is Dragon Tiger Zhang Tianshi, it's true."
Unexpectedly, the little Taoist priest just nodded his head, but his eyes still stayed on Li Qing.
Li Qing wondered, this little Taoist priest saw what he was doing, could he still perform the same drama as before?
This isn’t right either?
Zhang Tianshi has obviously moved out!
At this time, the little Taoist priest spoke with uncertainty in his tone and said hesitantly: "Are you... senior brother?"
Li Qing was stunned for a moment.
He looked at the little Taoist priest and saw that he was only about twenty years old. When he came here, the little Taoist priest was still young.
"You know me?" Li Qing was surprised.
Since he was using his true face, he had no intention of hiding it.
It has only been twenty years, and with the filter of being Zhang Xianren's only direct disciple, his appearance has not changed, which is not difficult to accept.
"Are you really a senior brother?" The little Taoist priest was surprised and happy, and said a little incoherently, "It's great, today, you can see a living person."
Li Qing: "..."
Zhang Yuanqing couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "Why don't you invite Senior Brother Wudang soon?"
"Ah, yes." The little Taoist priest composed himself and hurriedly bowed to Zhang Yuanqing, "Wudang King Wu, pay your respects to Zhang Tianshi."
"Little etiquette, less courtesy." Zhang Yuanqing asked with a smile, "Is the leader okay?"
Li Qing looked at the little Taoist priest hurriedly and nervously. If the leader changed, he would have to re-establish the relationship.
"Well, Master." The little Taoist priest nodded, "Master Zhang Tian, please, Senior Brother please."
Phew~
Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Yuzhen was still there.
…
The higher they went, the more Taoist priests they saw. Before they reached the top of the mountain, Li Qing and his two men were surrounded.
To Li Qing's expectation, these Wudang disciples were not cold towards Zhang Tianshi, but rather enthusiastic towards him, with a sense of deja vu...like at an idol meeting.
Li Qing was a little confused. Many of them were very young. When he came to the mountain, they had not yet gone up the mountain. How could they know him?
After questioning, he found out that there was his own 'Dharmakaya' on Ganqing Mountain.
Li Qing was a little dumbfounded: This Yuzhen...
Not long after, Wudang leader Yu Zhen arrived after receiving the news, and Yu Xuan, whom Li Qing didn't know before, came with him.
After not seeing each other for so many years, the two of them have changed a lot. One has white hair and beard, while the other also has gray hair.
"Go, go, it's all gone, senior brother won't leave immediately..." Yu Xuan still has the same temper, and has not become calmer because of his age.
After blasting away many disciples, Yu Xuan said: "Senior Brother, Master Zhang Tianshi, Senior Brother Head, let's go to the back mountain to reminisce about the past?"
Li Qing glanced at him and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for many years. You have made great progress, not bad."
Yuxuan's face was stern, and he said sheepishly: "Junior brother is stupid and is almost standing still."
"Haha... That's enough. There's no need to belittle yourself."
Yuzhen smiled and said: "Senior Brother, Master Zhang, please."
~
In the quiet room at the back of the mountain, four people were seated.
Zhang Yuanqing asked with a smile: "Are you two fellow Taoists surprised to see fellow Taoist Li again?"
The two nodded, looking amazed.
After so many years of not seeing each other, the senior brother has not changed at all, which is really...unbelievable.
But after thinking about it again, I felt relieved again.
Putting aside the direct disciples of Patriarch Zhang, the terrifying Qi alone is enough to do this.
I really don’t know how Senior Brother practices, it’s just...unreasonable.
Little did they know that although Li Qing was an unparalleled martial arts prodigy, he was not against the heavens. His terrifying energy was all built up over time.
Yuzhen asked: "Senior Brother, when you come back this time, you won't leave, right?"
"Uh... I still have to go. I have a lot of things to be busy with. This time I came to Wudang, I also squeezed out the time." Li Qing felt a little regretful.
As a senior brother, he almost doesn't care about anything. Strictly speaking, he is not qualified for his job.
However, he did not do nothing.
Wudang can be prosperous today because of his great contribution.
Yu Xuan asked: "What are you busy with, Senior Brother? Can Wudang disciples help?"
"If you can help, please don't be polite, senior brother. We are from the same sect and we should help each other." Yu Zhen also followed, "If senior brother hides it, it will be exposed."
Li Qing smiled and said: "I really don't need it for the time being, but I may need it in the future. Don't worry, I won't be polite."
The two nodded slightly, somewhat regretfully.
Yuxuan said: "How long can Senior Brother stay here?"
"Uh..." Li Qing said deliberately: I'm pressed for time, I'll stay for a few days and then leave.
But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them again and said: "Just a month, by the way, I can give some advice to the junior brothers."
After a pause, "I will come again in the future, but I have been very busy recently."
"That's it." The two of them were a little disappointed, but they couldn't force him to stay. Although they didn't know what the elder brother was up to, they also understood that the realm of the elder brother... they didn't understand.
They even felt that the eldest brother was following the path of Patriarch Zhang and wanted to become an immortal.
Zhang Yuanqing pretended to be dissatisfied, "Fellow Daoist Li coaxed Pindao to come here, but he only stayed there for more than a month. Isn't this a trap for Pindao?"
"Ah haha... The green water flows forever, and it's not like there's no end in sight." Li Qing suppressed his smile and said, "I've been really busy in recent years. I'll come here more often when I'm not busy in the future."
After a pause, "Longhu Mountain will also go there often."
Hearing this, Zhang Yuanqing said suspiciously: "Does Fellow Daoist Li often go to Longhu Mountain for the Tianshi Dan?"
He actually saw it, was it that obvious? Li Qing's face heats up, and he denies it with a guilty conscience: "It's nothing, do I still need Tianshi Dan?"
"That's true," Zhang Yuanqing felt relieved, and then said, "I don't rule out that fellow Taoist people can ask for it from others."
"...Don't worry, even then, I will never let fellow Taoists suffer."
Having said this, Zhang Yuanqing was also a little embarrassed and said sarcastically: "It's not just me being stingy, it's just...it's not easy to refine the Tianshi Dan."
Li Qing didn't care, but whether he should say it or not, their master and disciples often gathered the hair of dragons and tigers...
At noon, eight kinds of side dishes, some meat and some vegetarian.
Speaking of which, this is also due to Li Qing's abolishment of the restriction on meat.
"Yuzhen, how many Wudang disciples are there now?" Li Qing asked.
Yu Zhen said: "Senior brother told me that there should not be too many Wudang disciples for fear of arousing suspicion from the court, so I raised the standard for recruiting disciples by a large margin. There are currently 988 people."
"Well, not bad." Li Qing said, "Just keep this number, preferably no more than a thousand."
"Junior brother, please remember this." Yu Zhen nodded.
Li Qing asked again: "Are you short on money and food?"
Yuxuan answered quickly: "Elder brother, our Wudang is very famous now, and there is an endless stream of lay people coming to offer incense. It is getting cold, and there are many people coming in spring, summer and autumn. Not only are we not stretched thin in terms of money and food, but also There’s plenty left.”
"Yu Xuan is right." Yu Zhen said with a smile, "Junior brother opened a medicine hall a few years ago, and the surplus was used to buy medicine as a way of giving back."
After hearing this, Li Qing was completely relieved. It seemed that Wudang Mountain no longer had to worry about him...
After dinner, Li Qingla Yuzhen talked alone.
"Yuzhen, please help me pay attention to some disciples with good intentions, high character, extraordinary skills, and quick thinking."
"Elder brother...what are you going to do?"
"In the future, I need such talents to help me." Li Qing said, "I can't say the specifics now. In short, just pay attention and don't make it clear. If there are such talents, please note them down. If I need help in the future, It’s good to have ready-made people.”
Yuzhen nodded slowly: "That's no problem."
After a pause, "For us Taoist priests, self-cultivation is the foundation. Even if people with bad conduct go to the mountain, once I find out, my junior brother, I will not stay. As for skills... Wudang uses Wudang as Wudang, this is naturally not a problem, it is..."
Yuzhen smiled bitterly and said: "This last one is really difficult! Almost all those who go up the mountain to become Taoist priests come from poor families. There are many who are honest and honest, but not many who are quick-thinking."
Li Qing thought for a while and said in deep thought: "The conditions can be lowered appropriately. As long as you have a good character, good skills, and are not stubborn."
"In this case, we can find a lot of people." Yuzhen asked, "When will the senior brother want someone?"
"This... I can't tell you the specifics." Li Qing said: "You should pay attention first. After I have been busy for the past few years, I will come back to the mountain again. We will talk about it then."
"Okay." Yuzhen sighed, "The senior brother didn't want to say anything, and the junior brother didn't ask too many questions, but... Wudang Mountain is the orthodoxy of Grandmaster Zhang, and the junior brother will soon be in his seventies, and he is powerless to do many things!
If Senior Brother has time, he should stay here for a long time and carry forward Wudang Mountain. "Yu Zhen said, "You are the only direct disciple of the Patriarch. Your ability and conduct are all top-notch. If Wudang is led by senior brother, you will definitely reach higher levels in the future. "
"I will," Li Qing nodded, "When I have free time, I will stay in Wudang."
After a pause, "Master has an indifferent personality and doesn't like fame and fortune. Wudang does not have to be the best Taoist lineage in the world. As long as it can pass on Master's 'Tao', don't be too utilitarian."
Yuzhen paused for a moment and then nodded: "Senior Brother's level is so high that Junior Brother is ashamed of himself. It's me who has caught the eye."
"Haha... Humans are not grass and trees. It is normal to have a desire for gains and losses. There is no need to feel ashamed." Li Qing smiled and waved his hands, sighing, "Actually, I also want to live in the mountains and not go anywhere, and be a leisurely Taoist priest, but... …”
"Alas... the situation doesn't allow it!" Li Qing looked tired, and his loneliness was mixed with bitterness...
