Master Yang began to talk about what his master had told him about Master Zu. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
A thousand years ago, Zhang Ning, Li Daozhong, and Gu Jizi were all Maoshan Taoists, and the senior brothers were ranked according to the time of entering the Tao, Li Daozhong ranked second, and was the second senior brother in the same sect, and the senior brother Gu Jizi ranked first, the earliest to enter the Tao, Zhang Ning ranked third, and there were many other junior brothers and disciples.
Among the many disciples of Master Zu, the three of them have the fastest progress in the Dao, their skills and mana should be higher, they have more potential, and they are also the first to enter the Dao, and Master Zu wanted to select one of the most outstanding disciples from the three as his successor, so he called the three to the front.
Master Zu: "I called the three of you alone today to tell you something. ”
Gu Jizi arched his hand forward and said, "Master, what do you command, please will!" ”
Li Daozhong also stepped forward to flatter and said, "Yes, Master, if you have any send, even if you say it, you will never be able to do it again." ”
Zhang Ning didn't like to talk, so he didn't move.
Master Zu looked at the three of them, stroked his long gray beard, and said with a smile: "Looking for you, there is indeed something important to be handed over to you." That's right, Master, I'm getting old, and I'm going to retire, and I want to find a competent successor before I retire," Master Zu said, looking at his three apprentices, who listened attentively and didn't speak.
"I plan to choose one of the three of you for this successor, and this person must be extraordinary in martial arts, profound, strong in spells, and good in character."
The three disciples listened to the master's words, looked at each other, and did not say anything.
Master Zu continued: "Of course, it's not up to me to decide who will take my place now, I will give you a year, in this year, you each go back to prepare, and a year later today, in the martial arts competition field behind the Taoist temple, the winner will take my place." ”
After the three of them went back, they each studied hard and practiced hard, and the three of them had never really fought each other, and no one knew the details of the other party.
Li Daozhong's ambition was very great, he was eager to sit in the position of master, so he disguised himself as an assassin at night to try the two senior brothers, and found that their martial arts were slightly higher than his own.
One day Li Daozhong, who was sullen, wandered around the Taoist temple and walked to a remote path, which was overgrown with weeds, and Li Daozhong looked at the path and led to a closed gate, with a wooden stake on it, on which were written two large characters - "forbidden land" and a few small characters - no one was allowed to enter.
Li Daozhong thought to himself, there is something here that people are not allowed to enter, and then he thought about it, is it that the master has hidden some treasures inside, so he does not let anyone in. Curiosity, combined with the idea that he needed to grow quickly, drove him into the forbidden land.
The forbidden land is no different from an ordinary yard, the difference is that it has not been in and out and taken care of all year round, it is full of cobwebs and weeds, the gate is a very small house, the house is covered with talismans, and the windows and room doors are nailed to death with peach wood, Li Daozhong looked at these things, he is very familiar with the use of these things, all of them are used to suppress ghosts.
After thinking about it, he felt that it was better not to approach, so he turned around and prepared to leave, when a voice came from inside, and the voice was gloomy and old.
"Young man, why didn't you leave without figuring out the situation?"
Li Daozhong stopped, turned to look at the hut, and a voice came from the hut again: "You are curious why I am sealed here, I will tell you." ”
Li Daozhong knew that being sealed here, whether it was a human or a ghost, was not a good thing, "I don't want to hear what you say, and I'm not interested, I never deal with ghosts." ”
The old voice said, "I'm not a ghost, I'm your master's brother, and he is jealous that I am more advanced than him, and he is afraid that I will rob him of his position, so he joins forces with his best brother to seal me here, so that my soul cannot go out and reincarnate after death." Speaking of sadness, he also cried, "I have been sealed by him for almost a hundred years, and in this hundred years, I have been lonely and helpless, so painful......"
Li Daozhong said: "Master sealed you here, there must be his reason, you should be here to repent well." Li Daozhong turned and left.
"Please stay, I didn't lie to you, I'm really not a demon, my Taoism is much more powerful than your master, unfortunately you can try."
"Humph!" Li Daozhong sneered: "You are higher than my master? Then why was it sealed here by his old man for hundreds of years? ”
"I was designed by a few of them to have such an end, if you want to talk about Taoism and magic, which of them will be my opponent?" The voice was angry.
Li Daozhong didn't respond to him again, turned to leave.
The voice behind him came again, "Young man, I'm waiting for you, and you'll come back to me." Haha......"
After going back, Li Daozhong quickly forgot about the forbidden land, and began to retreat and practice hard, the time for the martial arts competition was approaching, Li Daozhong switched it out, and in the ten months of this retreat, his skills and mana have improved a lot, and he has a chance of winning, but he is a cautious person, so late at night on the second day of the pass, he put on his night clothes and came to the residence of his senior brother Gu Jizi, ready to test the improvement of his martial arts and spells in the past ten months.
He stood on the roof opposite his brother's bedroom, pulled off a finger-sized tile with a slight effort, and flicked it hard to the window of his senior brother Gu Jizi, who was awakened, Gu Jizi ran out and found the man in black on the opposite roof, so he jumped up to the house and chased after the man in black.
The two came to a clearing one after the other, and Li Daozhong stopped and turned his back to Gu Jizi.
Gu Kiko stopped behind him, "Who are you?" Why did the night strike me? ”
Li Daozhong didn't return, he turned around and started to fight him, he was afraid that his identity would be revealed as soon as he opened his mouth, so the two began to fight.
After fighting for two or three hours, Li Daozhong saw that he couldn't win and deal with it, so he had to take a moment to escape, Gu Jizi chased after him for a while, and saw that there was no trace of the man in black and went back.
Li Daozhong, who returned to his room, had a solemn face, he completely lost confidence in his victory, he knew that his senior brother Gu Jizi only used ninety percent of his strength to fight with him, and he had already gone out to fight with all his strength and could only fight a draw, if he practiced like this for another ten months, unless the senior brother stopped, he could only be on an equal footing with him, thinking of this, he couldn't help but punch the wooden table, and the wooden table couldn't stand such a big force and fell apart.
"My skills and spells are better than your master......" A voice echoed in his mind, "You'll come back to my ......"
Li Daozhong remembered the hut in the forbidden land, and immediately stood up, his face a little excited.
"Maybe he'll let me outdo my brother and win the game." But thinking that his details were not clear, he sat down in disappointment, he knew that the person locked in the forbidden place was definitely not a good person, if he was released, the master would definitely be blamed if he knew, and when the time came, don't say the master's location, I am afraid that there will be no chance to stay in the Taoist temple. Thinking of this, I had no choice but to give up and pour water in discouragement.
