The sky is about to brighten, and there is already a bright light in the east, but it is still dark and dark.

This is the 26th year of January, and the end of the year is approaching.

The city of Tai'an at the foot of Mount Tai has been covered with red and hung colors, and the world is in the New Year of the year, but the Taoist masters of the Jade Emperor Palace on the top of Mount Tai are very calm.

They are outsiders after all.

At the time of this New Year, in addition to the grand festival and the opening of the mountain gate to welcome pilgrims, the New Year of the year is no different from the past.

It's just that before dawn, the three generations of disciples of the Jade Emperor Palace got up to practice martial arts.

Led by Xiao Lingsu, a senior brother who has made some famous names in the rivers and lakes, hundreds of disciples are wearing Taoist robes, blinded by black lights, and their bodies are moving outside the main hall of the sect.

As soon as the first rays of morning light fall, they will practice martial arts.

This is to take the meaning of "purple qi from the east" to match the peaceful artistic conception of Taoist martial arts.

In the past, there was no such rule.

The disciples practice martial arts after the early morning.

It's just that after several great battles in Suzhou, Xiaoxiang, Luoyang, and Jinling, the struggle between good and evil became more and more acute, and various sects stepped up the cultivation of disciples.

Although the Demon Cult has been defeated in name, judging from the situation in recent months, those Demon Cult people who have lost their names have not only died down.

On the contrary, it was broken into parts and made waves everywhere in the rivers and lakes.

There's a pre-destruction madness.

And the disciples of the Jade Emperor Palace can be regarded as having walked through the rivers and lakes.

In the battle of Luoyang and Jinling, there were many casualties.

The remains of those brothers who were sent back to the sect for burial, as well as the tragic situation of those colleagues who were injured and had their limbs broken, can be regarded as dispelling these disciples' unrealistic and beautiful illusions about the affairs of the rivers and lakes.

Walking the rivers and lakes is to fight for your life.

Whether it is for the sake of personal future or the majesty of the sect, this sword and sword fight relies on real skills.

Especially for disciples like Xiao Lingsu, who have participated in several battles, the matter of martial arts training is more and more concerned.

Under their leadership, the other disciples also became diligent.

Huang Wumiao doesn't care.

This head is a quiet person, and he learns Taoism and does nothing, and he is not very harsh on his disciples on weekdays, but people like Chong and Dao Chang like him like to worry about it are happy to see the positive attitude of the disciples of the sect.

As soon as I got older, I got up early with my disciples every day.

Occasionally, the interest came, and he personally led his disciples to practice swordsmanship and boxing.

However, today, Chonghe Daoist did not practice martial arts with his disciples, he was wearing a Taoist robe, carrying an ancient sword, twisting his beard, and holding a letter in his hand.

With a serious face, he hurried to the main hall.

In the main hall, Daoist Ziwei is preparing for today's morning class.

As the head of the family, he is not only the first in martial arts, but also the best in the world.

In this day, telling the Tao to all the teachers and brothers and disciples is also the first thing to do in the morning.

Like Nirvana Temple, the Taoists in the Jade Emperor Palace are also divided into two factions, Dragon and Tiger and Xuanmen, with different personal moods and methods, focusing on martial arts and cultivation.

According to the inheritance of thousands of years ago, it is actually the difference between taking the martial arts path and walking the immortal road.

But now, the immortal law and aura do not exist, and this immortal path has become a pure health cultivation path.

One is one and one is martial, walking on two legs.

But all the great sects are like this, Nirvana Temple, Jade Emperor Palace, Pure Yang Sect, and even the Holy Fire Sect and the Tongwu Sect are all this way.

When Chong and Daoist walked into the main hall, he saw that the little Taoist priest Yunji was taking a few Xuanmen brothers to prepare for the morning class of Taoism, changing the lamp oil of the Changming lamp, and cleaning the spotless main hall.

Then put the dozens of futons in their respective positions.

And Ziwei Daoist, with the best incense candles in his hands, is offering incense to the Sanqing diagram in front of the main hall and the tablet incense burner of the elders of the previous dynasties.

The movements are standard and elegant, the Taoist robe hangs down, and the corners of the clothes are swaying, which has the natural demeanor of Taoist celestial phenomena.

It's just that Daoist Ziwei's face is not very good.

His wounds have not yet healed.

Because of the soul scattering disease, the speed at which Ziwei Dao people heal is slower than that of other heavenly lists.

"Senior brother, you come to see this."

After Daoist Ziwei finished saluting the incense, Daoist Chonghe stepped forward and stuffed the letter in his hand to Huang Wumiao, who shook off the dust, opened the letter, glanced at it, and frowned.

There was not much information on the letter, only two sentences.

The first greeting was to ask how the long injury was.

The second sentence of the invitation, please go to Taihang, there are some confidential things related to Penglai, I want to tell them.

"Shen Qiu? What does he mean by sending this letter? ”

Daoist Ziwei turned his head to look at Senior Brother Chonghe and said:

"The opening of the Taihang Immortal Gate ruins that are rumored in the world today, is it really what he pushed behind the scenes?"

Chong and Lao Dao didn't speak.

He pulled Huang Wumiao to the edge of the main hall, looked left and right, took out something from the wide cuffs, handed it to the senior disciple in charge, and said:

"This thing was sent with the letter."

"Huh?"

Huang Wumiao turned out that thing, it was a scroll, two palms long, rolled together, and there were seal characters on the scroll, which was a spring and autumn sacrifice.

In today's era, few people know each other.

But Chonghe Daoist and Ziwei Daoist are both well-read people, and they know this kind of writing.

"Hung Shadow"

The meaning of these two words is very important.

"Thirteen volumes of the secretary of the Xianmen."

Huang Wumiao looked at the quaint scroll in his hand, this thing has a secret buckle, there is no way, forcibly untie it, it will only destroy the treasure, he stroked the material of the scroll, which is not gold or jade.

After closing his eyes and thinking for a moment, he returned it to Chonghe Daochang.

The old Taoist took it in his hand, and he said to Ziwei Daoist:

"Senior brother, this matter is not appropriate."

"Although the secret scroll of the Immortal Gate is precious, and what is recorded is also a pure immortal inheritance, my Jade Emperor Palace does not lack these.

I watched Shen Qiu's actions become more and more extreme since the incident of Wulong Villa. Although it is inconvenient for us to arrest the leader of the Hao Alliance, Shen Qiu's reputation in the rivers and lakes has become more and more infamy, and he has done many cruel things.

Now he has been denounced as an 'evil demon', and he has the appearance of a public enemy of martial arts.

I know my junior brother, I look at Shen Qiu differently, I have also been in contact with Shen Qiu, and I also believe that Shen Qiu is not a heinous person.

However, the prestige of the sect is an important matter related to the inheritance, and we cannot tolerate favoritism.

I politely refuse this. ”

This persuasion did not make Huang Wumiao's brows spread, on the contrary, Daoist Ziwei's face became deeper and deeper.

After a few breaths, he said:

"Senior brother, Shen Qiu's reputation, let's not talk about it first.

Let's just say that this Taixing thing itself is a little weird inside and out, I expected that Shen Qiu opened the ruins, spread the world, and caused a turmoil, it should be an ambush.

But it was not the Jianghu people who ambushed and killed.

The death of the leader of Ren Hao's alliance also has a hidden black hand surging, as well as Zhang Moxie's sudden appearance, and Shen Qiu's killing of the king of Huainan, these things are related.

Although I can't see the reason, the death of the leaders of the Qu Evil and Ren Hao Alliance, who won Penglai's 'fairy fate', one after another, reminds me of some old things. ”

Huang Wumiao rubbed the excellent beard on his chin, and he said to Hedge and Dao Chief:

"Senior brother, do you remember that in Master's generation, more than forty years ago, I was just getting started, and Senior Brother had just become an inner disciple.

At that time, there was an elder who got the Penglai Yuan Law and brought back a volume of Xianjia Taoism. ”

"Yes."

Chong and Lao Dao nodded, and he answered:

The elder was overjoyed, and he had the sect in his heart, so he wanted to dedicate the Taoist book in his hand to his fellow disciples, and also teach the martial arts of the immortal family he had learned to his fellow disciples.

But he was stopped by the master.

Not only did he stop drinking, but he also burned the Penglai Taoist book, and abolished the elder's martial arts and placed it on the back mountain, until he died of old age, he never met the door again. ”

"Yes, Master has cultivated all his life, created heavenly beings, has a gentle personality, and is very open to everything."

Huang Wumiao stroked the dusty white silk, and said:

"I was disgusted with Penglai's words, and after abolishing the elder's martial arts with my own hands, I made a rule that the inner disciples of the Jade Palace were not allowed to have any contact with Penglai.

But Senior Brother, there is one thing that I have been hiding from you and the other elders. ”

Ziwei Daoist lowered his voice, hedged and said to Lao Dao:

"After Master's death, when I was packing up Master's belongings, I found some clues. The master left a codex to record that when he was young, he actually entered the Immortal Mountain and had the opportunity to meet Penglai. ”

"That's what happened!"

Chong and Lao Dao heard that this sect was secret, his eyes widened in shock, he looked at Huang Wumiao, and the latter looked back at the master's spirit card, and said:

"Moreover, the cause of Master's death is suspicious, he said that he was in retreat, but he did not say that he was going to retreat, I remember clearly that before Master's retreat, he said that he still had thirteen years to live.

But after seven days of retreat, he died violently in the Taoist house.

At that time, the elders checked many times, but could not find the specific cause of death, which could only be said to be the five decays of heaven and man, and the number of lives had arrived.

Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that the death of the master is not so simple.

Senior brother, before he died, the leader of the Ren Hao Alliance also asked me a question. ”

Huang Wuxiao said softly:

"In the past hundreds of years, Penglai Xianshan has appeared in the rivers and lakes once in 20 years, and every time someone has been blessed with immortal law, but everyone only sees those people lucky.

But few people pay attention to the fate of those who have a big chance.

He asked me, do you really believe in the fairy mountain fairy fate?

These days, after returning to the Jade Emperor Palace, I thought about it and felt that Ren Hao had something to say, so I went to find some records of the sect, but found that there were records of those who won the immortal fate.

Or die a violent death like Master.

Either or after doing the next big thing, the rivers and lakes will go into hiding, and the result is unknown, as if disappearing out of thin air.

Senior brother, there is a problem with this Penglai matter!

The reason why we have not paid attention to this fact is that someone is deliberately covering up this fact, and it has been covering it up since hundreds of years ago. ”

The two looked at each other without saying a word.

After a few breaths, Daoist Ziwei rubbed his fingers, hedged and said to Lao Dao:

"I have not recovered from my serious injuries, and my heart is full of demons, and I can't leave the Jade Emperor Peak.

Senior brother, this time, you will take Lingsu and the others to Tai for a walk. The matter of searching for the secret treasure is secondary, and what I am more concerned about is the secret matter of Penglai that Shen Qiu said.

I have a feeling that all the doubts of you and me, and the unsolved ones left by Ren Hao, can be answered in Taihang Mountain. ”

"Okay."

Chong and Lao Dao are not people who are afraid of things, and when they saw the head of the door speak, they responded.

He was also curious.

Shen Qiu made such a big battle, what did he want to show them?

------------

Almost at the same time.

In the land of Xiaoxiang, on Taiyue Mountain, Wuyang Zhenren is standing in front of the quiet courtyard on the top of the mountain.

The head of this Pure Yang Sect will have a serious face, and he has just sent the letter from Taihang, as well as the secret scroll of the Immortal Sect that came with the letter, into the small courtyard.

is waiting for Master's response.

Although Wuyang Zhenren is the leader, everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that this Dinghai Divine Needle of Taiyue Mountain is the first in the world today, and the head of the pure Yangzi Dao.

It's just that Dao Chang is old, and he has not been out of the secluded courtyard for more than ten years, nor has he stepped into the rivers and lakes.

"Dancing Sun."

An old but calm voice came from the courtyard, and Wuyang Zhenren immediately straightened up.

"Let's take a trip to Taihang."

The voice said:

"Take the talented disciples in the sect with you, keep a low profile, don't attract attention, this is what Shen Qiu is planning, and don't participate in it first.

Don't stop it.

This goes to Taixing, does not seek the secret treasure of Xianmen, just listen and see more, if there is danger, protect the door and return to Xiaoxiang. ”

"Yes, Master, the disciple knows."

The hot-tempered Wuyang real person, in front of this voice, is as well-behaved as a child.

After Chunyangzi finished speaking, the head of the door was about to turn around and leave, and just after taking a few steps, he heard another voice behind him:

"Take my apprentice Sun Dongfang with you."

"Master!"

Wuyang Zhenren turned around and shouted:

"I know that you have always loved the East.

The obstacle of iniquity is indeed talented, and it is the jade of the world. But he has caused a vicious illness in the red dust, and his mood is scattered, if he is not corrected, he may have demons in the future.

He was thinking about it in the middle of the mountain, how could he handle it so lightly?

If you don't cut jade, you won't make it, Master! ”

"Let you bring it, and you will take it!"

There was a hint of sternness in Chunyoko's voice, and he said:

"The drastic changes in the world are just around the corner, the East has a spiritual root, for him, the catastrophe is also an opportunity, after a hundred years of teaching, this Taiyue Mountain is a vein, and the East needs support.

As for the matter of Longyang, it has nothing to do with good and evil, so let him go.

Wuyang, you are stubborn, and then oppress, between the master and apprentice, the love and righteousness do not exist, and today the teacher will set the rules for you.

Five years later, Dongfang took over! ”

Seeing that the master, who has always been gentle, will be angry, Wuyang Zhenren didn't dare to refute anymore, so he could only go down the mountain.

And in the small courtyard, Chunyangzi, who was wearing a linen robe, was sitting cross-legged on the futon, and on the desk in front of him, there was the secret scroll of the fairy gate.

The old Taoist priest with white hair and beard reached out and stroked the secret scroll gently.

"Click"

With a soft sound, the Taihang secret scroll that was held by the secret buckle and no one could unlock it was easily dispersed in the hands of Chunyangzi, and the various immortal secret methods written in the scroll were full of nostalgia in the eyes of the old Taoist.

Moving mountains and seas, traveling in the starry sky, the fairy family is wonderful, all in it.

"Little baby, with the body of a mortal, dare to plot the immortal monarch, and have the courage!"

Junyoko's gaze fell on the letter on the table.

He twisted his long beard and whispered:

"I just don't know, which old acquaintance will be in ambush this time? Dongling, Hongchen, the mountain-moving fairy girl, or the Penglai ancestor?

Lao Dao has been thinking quietly these days, do you want to take the opportunity to go out for a walk again? ”

After a few breaths, he shook his head, closed his eyes, and sank into the sea of knowledge.

"Well, it's not time yet.

The former true monarch of the immortal family is now a group of homeless lonely ghosts, the majesty is not there, and it is embarrassing to see the old people, so don't embarrass each other. ”
