The Tiandao Mountain Gate is located under an ordinary hill, and the silver hook iron painting of the word "Tiandao" at the entrance has a mysterious and unpredictable taste, and the more I look at it, the more I seem to be able to figure out something, I strode towards the mountain gate, but my ears seem to be still recalling Yingrui's loyal words: "Childe, there are no taboos in the cultivation of the Hundred Flowers Palace, and occasionally there will be people who improve their cultivation by collecting the true yuan of the monks, so the Heavenly Taoism does not welcome us in the Hundred Flowers Palace, and Yingrui will not accompany the son to enter." Gongzi must be cautious in his words and deeds in the Heavenly Dao Sect, and he must know that the bigger the sect, the more rules there are, especially those who are cunning and cunning behind the scenes. ”

When I was close to the mountain gate of the Heavenly Dao Sect, I noticed that there was an old Taoist priest meditating at the mountain gate, and I saw him slowly open his eyes and stare at me for a while, and then asked, "Your Excellency is visiting the Heavenly Dao Sect, what is the matter?" ”

I bowed and said: "I have seen the immortal chief, the junior is the disciple of Uncle Li Canghai, and I separated from the uncle by mistake before, I hope that the immortal chief will inform Uncle Canghai." ”

The old Taoist priest nodded, raised his right hand lightly, and saw a yellow paper crane flying out of his cuff, and quickly flew towards the sect.

After a while, I saw Uncle Canghai flying over, slowly descending when approaching the mountain gate, and finally landed ten zhang away from the mountain gate. ”

I clasped my fists and saluted: "Let Uncle Shi bother, the sky has eyes, and Murong is lucky to return." ”

Li Canghai didn't say anything more, grabbed my hand and left the mountain gate for ten zhang, then flew towards the place where he lived, passing through many mountains and lakes, pavilions and pavilions all the way, and finally landed on a beautiful mountainside, but saw a listless woman in Xuanyi sitting in front of a pear wood house, who else is not my Yuyan?

I haven't seen her for more than a month, and my Yuyan has not only lost a lot, but also her face is haggard, like a tree with broken roots. When he saw me, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief at first, and then he ran towards me, hugging me tightly, as if he was afraid that I would disappear. She was still muttering to herself: "I knew, I knew, a good person like my cousin would definitely live a long life, a thousand years old, and God would definitely bless my cousin." Cousin, don't leave Yu Yan again, okay? ”

I slowly stroked Yu Yan's hair, but sighed again and again: "Fool fool, it's just a short separation." ”

The three of them entered the fine house and sat down in the living room, Li Canghai asked a little about my behavior in the Baihua Palace, and I dealt with the past according to the words I had thought of before, it was nothing more than Wang Yingrui was emotional about me, unwilling to hurt me, detoxified me and helped me build a foundation, and finally respected my wishes and sent me away.

Senior Uncle Canghai didn't seem to be very interested in this, but he just said: "Senior Nephew Murong, I see that you also have the heart of the Dao, so in the cultivation realm, worshipping the Heavenly Dao Sect is the best choice, but I have checked your physique, there are only 3 spiritual veins, and they are still low-grade spiritual veins, I am afraid it will be difficult to get the favor of the elders in the sect and go too far." On the contrary, Yu Yan has good qualifications, has a high-grade true water spiritual vein, and is born with 8 spiritual veins, at least she can worship under the elders of the sect, and it is unknown whether she can become a true disciple of the sect. I hope you can persuade Yu Yan to worship under the sect of Master Shuiyue of Yuexiu Peak, and then I can recommend you to enter the sect of my master Mingyang Zhenren and become a disciple of the third generation of Heavenly Daoist Wolong Peak. ”

I frowned and asked, "Why can't Yu Yan and I cultivate in the same place?" ”

Li Canghai patiently explained: "The Heavenly Daoist Sect blooms and has eight leaves, and at the moment there are mainly the head of the family and the eight elder branches, in addition to the Taishang Tong Xuan Jing that everyone cultivates, there are also all-encompassing exercises, and the exercises of different branches focus on different practices, such as Zun Jian Peak majoring in Kendo, Danyang Peak majoring in Dan Dao, Xuanhuo Peak majoring in Fire Dao, Yin Fu Peak majoring in Fu Gong, Yuexiu Peak majoring in Taishang Tong Xuan Sutra, Wolong Peak where I am majoring in telekinesis, and Lingbao Peak mainly cultivating tools. The recruitment requirements for each branch peak are different, among which Yuexiu Peak generally requires more than eight veins of qualifications to enter the door of the peak master Shuiyue, and its subordinates are mainly women, which is the most suitable for talented seedlings like Yu Yan. ”

I asked, "Since the Taishang Tong Xuan Jing is an exercise that everyone has to practice, why does Uncle Shi still say that Yue Xiufeng is majoring in the Taishang Tong Xuan Sutra?" What's so special about that? ”

Li Canghai said: "It's different, the Taishang Tong Xuan Sutra is the core exercise of my sect, which is divided into ten layers, and ordinary branch disciples can only practice the first three layers of the Taishang Tong Xuan Sutra, and only the head of the sect and Yue Xiufeng master the complete ten-layer exercises." This sutra has been cultivated to the fullest, and its power is endless, and it is one of the bases of our sect to cultivate the true realm. ”

I sighed slightly, but I heard Yu Yan say, "No, I want to be with Xianggong." Exercises are secondary, even if you don't practice, it doesn't matter, as long as you can be with your cousin, it doesn't matter. ”

Li Canghai said angrily: "Confused! I have traveled thousands of miles to bring you to the Heavenly Dao Sect, just hoping that you can inherit the legacy of my ancestors and carry it forward, why are you so unproductive and give up the way of immortality to entangle men and women! She turned to me and said, "Senior Nephew Murong, you are also a beginner cultivator, can't you appreciate the benefits of cultivating the truth?" The lifespan of a cultivator is often a thousand years, and a mortal is only a hundred years old, do you want to watch Yu Yan's white hair leave you after a hundred years? The benefits of a good teacher and suitable exercises for a cultivator are immeasurable, so you can help me persuade her well. Both of you are recommended by me, and you will be able to officially choose a teacher tomorrow. ”

After Li Canghai left, Yu Yan and I walked alone around the Jingshe, and I asked her about the basic situation after moving into the Heavenly Dao Sect, knowing that Ji Qingyang had left the Heavenly Dao Sect to find her ancestral sect. Yu Yan stared at me affectionately and said: "Cousin, Yu Yan is not rejecting the cultivation of the true enlightenment, if you can improve the realm through the cultivation of the immortal exercises, you can also accompany your cousin more in the future, at least it will not affect your cousin, but the cultivation of the true enlightenment often requires retreat and penance, I am afraid that my cousin will forget Yu Yan after being separated for too long." ”

I stroked Yu Yan's long hair and smiled slightly: "My cousin and I are the wives of childhood sweethearts, if my cousin forgets Yu Yan, wouldn't it be better to be a pig and a dog." Before, because of the difference in sects, I couldn't teach you all the exercises of others, but now you can enter the Heavenly Dao Sect and join me to comprehend the immortal exercises, isn't it the wish of heaven and man? Although it takes a long time to cultivate the true enlightenment, there are always a lot of times together, don't worry, I believe that Uncle Canghai is for your good. I added in my heart, but it wasn't necessarily good for me.

The next day is the so-called apprenticeship selection ceremony. Uncle Canghai took me and Yu Yan to fly to the depths of the mountain, standing in the sky, when the white clouds were around, I deeply felt the vastness of the scope of the Heavenly Daoism, a piece of hundreds, high into the sky of the mountains are all belonging to the Heavenly Taoism, Uncle Canghai explained that each mountain has its own spiritual vein, and there is a branch of the Heavenly Taoism on it, which is responsible for the masters above the Yuan Infant Period.

It is the rule of the Heavenly Taoist Sect to inspect the apprentices and select the teacher, usually by more than 3 elders, and those who apply to worship the Heavenly Taoist Sect must not only go through the qualification inspection, the perception test, but also the Taoist stone test. We descended from the Heavenly Dao Sect's main peak and asked the peak, climbed the steps, and performed light skills before we arrived at a huge square after passing through several pavilions. I noticed that there were quite a few disciples in the square who were cultivating their own sects, among them there were those who danced swords and swords, those who breathed and absorbed, and those who meditated and enlightened, and a few of them caused me a lot of oppression, and I guess they all had cultivation above the Jindan stage, and there was even no shortage of Yuan Ying and above. When they saw us coming, some were curious, some ignored it, and some were dismissive.

One of the middle-aged Taoist priests standing in front of the main hall greeted him and said, "I heard that Senior Sister Canghai brought a cultivator from the mortal realm and wants to worship my sect?" These must be the two of them. "For some reason, I felt that there seemed to be a hint of banter in the other person's eyes.

A young man in his twenties next to him snorted coldly: "Can anyone in the mortal realm worship my Heavenly Dao Sect?" Are we the last sect? I must remind the master to strictly control it, otherwise any cat or dog can call himself a disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect. ”

There was a commotion among the people in the audience, and it seemed that the three words "mortal realm" touched them a little. I knew in my heart: people who grew up in a place where aura is ubiquitous in the cultivation realm are born with different physiques than people in the mortal realm, especially those who are indigenous to the cultivation realm for three generations, and it is said that some people do not need to cultivate, and they have the cultivation of the foundation building period after adulthood, and the cultivation speed is several times that of mortals. The difference between the natives of the Xiuzhen realm and the mortals of the mortal realm is probably the same as the gap between the literati of Tokyo in the Great Song Dynasty and the barbarians in the northwest. Normally, the qualifications of mortals in the mortal realm could not be compared to those of the natives of the cultivation realm.

But I heard a woman in green clothes next to her speak: "That's nothing, who stipulates that people born in the cultivation realm must be better than the mortal realm?" There are also many talented people in the mortal world, such as Senior Sister Canghai, who has surpassed many talented people in our sect in just a few decades, and her combat power is within a hundred of the sect, and there are many examples of this in other sects. Cultivating the true and cultivating the truth, cultivating the true self of the Heavenly Dao, a temporary talent advantage may be able to take a great advantage in cultivation, but the Heavenly Dao is long, and hundreds of years of cultivation and enlightenment are more than perseverance and heart. I believe that the candidates recommended by Senior Sister Canghai are definitely not ordinary. ”

Everyone in the audience listened to a commotion, and it seemed that Uncle Canghai had a high status in the sect. I walked with Yu Yan and didn't take the discussion of everyone in the room to heart.

After entering the Daoist Hall, I saw three steady Taoist masters sitting at the top, one in the middle was white-haired, about seventy or eighty years old, and on the left was a red-faced Taoist priest in the prime of life, who seemed to have a strong force in his body that made me feel pressure; The Taoist on the right has a thin face, giving people a good impression of the breeze. Many other onlookers poured into the main hall, and after saluting silently, they stood aside, not daring to speak casually.

Uncle Canghai took me and Yu Yan to raise their hands and salute: "Meet Uncle Zixu, Uncle Zuo, and Uncle Wang." “

But listening to the Purple Void Dao Elder in the middle, he smiled slightly: "These two are the mortals brought over by the nephew of Canghai Master?" I heard that Senior Brother Mingyang once said that you have worked hard to go to the world to break the old things, and you also brought the younger generation to worship my teaching, and today I happen to be free, so I will be responsible for assessing the qualifications of these two little friends. ”

Uncle Canghai bowed and said, "There is Uncle Lao Zixu." ”

The red-faced Zuo Shi Bo Muran next to him said: "The people of the mortal realm worship the Heavenly Dao Sect, Li Canghai is already an exception, if two more are added, I am afraid that tomorrow there will be countless ordinary people outside the gate of my sect!" but asked other sects to see the jokes. ”

Purple Void Old Dao said, "It's okay. But I saw that he turned his right hand and conjured a black metal ruler long out of thin air, and motioned to me and Yu Yan: "Hold it with all your might." ”

I have been mentioned by Uncle Canghai before, after holding the ruler, I only feel cold in my hands, under my perception, there seems to be a world inside the ruler, not to mention anything else, this is almost the hardest metal I have ever touched, not under my free sword. I understand that this must be a treasure in the cultivation realm.

This is the Heavenly Daoist Sect's Spiritual Measuring Ruler, which is refined from the pure Yang Stone, the core material of the Sun Star, and contains the spiritual measurement array imprinted by the Heavenly Daoist predecessors, which can well show the potential and strength of the disciples. There are only 2 such spiritual rulers in the entire Heavenly Daoist Sect, and they are usually easy not to use, but today they are used as an exception because of the recruitment of "poor students" in the mortal world, so as to convince people. In addition to the spirit measuring ruler, Uncle Canghai said that the sword test stone, talent tablet, and battle at the same level are all ways to test the strength of the disciples under the sect.
