Qin Mu was stunned, looked at Si Yunxiang, and then looked at Granny Si beside her, her mind was a little confused. He always thought that Granny Si was Si Yunxiang, but now another Si Yunxiang ran out, and it was the contemporary saint of the Heavenly Demon Sect!

He feels that his head is very messy now, this contemporary saint is also surnamed Si, he has a preconceived idea, so he has been testing whether she is Si's mother-in-law, and he has deliberately molested the saint a few times to see if she will be shy!

It wasn't until the last time Si Ruxiang tested him that he confirmed that Si Ruxiang was Si Granny, and now ......

"The saints of this generation are much safer than the saints of the previous generation, and the saints of the previous generation are demons. ”

A white-haired elder shouted, "Although they are all from the Si family, this generation of holy women will not cause trouble to our holy sect. ”

Granny Si glared angrily.

The elder looked away and pretended not to see.

Si Yunxiang stepped forward and came to Qin Mu's side, still a little shy, and gave a salute: "Young Sect Master, the Holy Maiden Si Yunxiang has seen the Young Sect Master." ”

Qin Mu hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Senior sister is polite. ”

"This generation of saints is generous. ”

An old man said with emotion: "How can it be like the previous generation, as a wife, he actually killed the Holy Sect Master." ”

Granny Si was furious and shouted, "The old lady is still here, what do you want to do with the stinky old man?"

The old man hurriedly shut up, not daring to argue with her.

"The Holy Maiden is not a fuel-efficient lamp. ”

Qin Mu's eyes flickered, he looked at the seemingly weak and shy girl beside him, and said in his heart: "Her mind is very heavy, she should be the one who defeated the Buddha, and then came to show off to me and test my depth." She already knew that I was the Young Sect Master, but she still showed off and tried in front of me, for what?"

Granny Si smiled: "Rue Xiang is from our company's family, and the ancestor has personally taught it for a few years. The patriarch had already found you before he found her, and after he was treated to her, he also sighed that if he had met her earlier, he would not have chosen you. ”

Qin Mu looked at Si Yunxiang, just as Si Yunxiang also looked at him, the two met their eyes, and Qin Mu saw disbelief in her seemingly gentle eyes.

Qin Mu smiled slightly.

Si Yunxiang should have been cultivated by the young patriarch in accordance with the rules of the sect leader, and then let her and Qin Mu take the big exam of the Tai Academy in the same year, which should also mean to compare the two.

Qin Mu never knew that there would be a competition between himself and this girl.

What's the matter, Qin Mu was too amazing in the big exam, beating Lingyun Dao people all the way to the emperor, Si Yunxiang would be compared to him no matter what he did, and it was impossible to be more brilliant than him.

And the subsequent patriarch exam tested Qin Mu's ability as the sect leader, and after passing the exam, the young patriarch had a heart, and the candidate in his mind was not Si Yunxiang. Compared to her, Qin Mu was more suitable to be the Holy Sect Master.

However, Si Yunxiang should not be convinced, so after defeating the Buddha's Heart and Buddha, he showed off his temptation to Qin Mu.

The young patriarch looked around and said, "The King of Heaven has not yet arrived?"

"It's not there yet. ”

The young patriarch frowned, Han Tianwang has always been a fiery character, no matter what happens, he has always been the first to rush ahead, and he has not arrived now, which means that he can no longer come.

What could be greater than the enthronement of the Patriarch?

There is only one reason why Han Tianwang did not come to attend the enthronement ceremony of the sect leader.

"Young Sect Master, you must be kind to the descendants of King Han in the future. The young patriarch whispered.

Qin Mu's heart shook slightly, and he was about to ask, when the young patriarch said in a deep voice: "Three hundred and sixty halls, spread the flag, and will be in the holy mountain!"

Swish.

One by one, the big flags were unfurled, covering the entire city lord's mansion cleanly, and the big flags were displayed and collected, and the city lord's mansion of Yongzhou City disappeared out of thin air, without a trace, and the place that was originally the city lord's mansion was left with only a blank land at this moment.

When the big flag covering their heads disappeared, Qin Mu looked around, and his heart was shocked, only to see that they had left the noisy Yongzhou City and came to a place that did not look like the world.

Here is a dome above the head, and at the feet of the four directions, is a mountain towering in the ethereal land, unable to reach the sky or the earth.

The green mountains are verdant, but you can't see the sun when you look up, and you can't see the earth when you look down. This mountain seems to be out of the world.

"This is the Holy Landing Mountain?"

Qin Mu looked around, but saw that there were peaks and mountains, and there was a palace hidden in the depths of the mountains and forests, which should be a palace established by the Holy Sect, but the young patriarch did not take them to that hall, but came to a pine and cypress.

The pines and cypresses are lush and green, they have existed in the world for an unknown number of years, and under the pines and cypresses is a grass house, which is very clean, and does not show traces of decay with the passage of time.

There is also a big stone under the pine and cypress, the young patriarch came to the bottom of the pine and cypress, the three hundred and sixty hall masters, the twelve guardian elders, the eight major inspectors, the three town sect kings, and the left and right protectors, each sitting at the bottom.

The young patriarch motioned for Qin Mu to step forward and said, "This mountain was originally in the world. When the founding patriarch of my Heavenly Saint Sect came here, he saw a woodcutter chopping wood, and it was this pine and cypress that he fell. The woodcutter wields an axe to chop the pine and cypress, and the rules are orderly, which seems to contain infinite wonderful principles, and the pine and cypress eat an axe, and then grow another piece, and restore it as before. The founder knew that he had met a saint, so he asked the woodcutter for advice. The woodcutter preached to him under this pine and cypress tree, and it was decades for him to speak, and the founder of the mountain received endless insights, but he was still not satisfied, so he asked the woodcutter, how did he become a saint?

Qin Mu listened carefully, and the young patriarch paused, and continued: "The woodcutter said that if you want to become holy, you must establish virtue, meritorious service, and words, and be immortal. The founder of the mountain asked again, how to achieve the three immortals? The woodcutter said, "Reason, knowledge, and teaching, three thousand teachers." So the founding patriarch was enlightened. ”

The young patriarch raised his head and looked at the pine and cypress that had gone through the vicissitudes of life: "The founder of the mountain knew that if he wanted to become a saint, he had to be a teacher of the three Ming ten thousand people, so he sorted out the sage training, sorted out the sage training into a chapter, and compiled it into a record, which is what the outside world calls the Great Yutian Demon Sutra." ”

"The founding patriarch wrote the Great Yutian Demon Sutra and made sense. ”

Then he traveled through the world, and after hundreds of years, he passed on the teachings of the saints to others, and the teachings of the saints became his teachings after he passed them on to others. His mouth speaks to thy ear, and thy mouth speaketh unto him, and this is knowing. The founding patriarch did it knowingly. ”

"As for the Ming Sect, the founder of the mountain patriarch set up a sect, and thanked the woodcutter for guiding the maze, so it was called the Heavenly Sage Sect and established a doctrine. The way of the saints is no different from the daily use of the people, and all those who are different are heretics! This is the source of my teachings. ”

Below, although the hall masters, Dharma protectors, and elders are all high-level members of the Heavenly Demon Sect, most of them have experienced the sect master's ascension to the throne for the first time, even if they are the guardian elders and the Heavenly King of the Town Sect, they don't know much about this history.

They originally thought that the sect leader would need to hold some earth-shattering ceremony to ascend the throne, but unexpectedly, the young patriarch talked about the history of the founding of the religion.

Regarding the legendary story of this founding patriarch, they have occasionally seen some records in the classics of the sect, but it is just a glimpse of the dragon, and there is no young patriarch who speaks in detail and moving.

"Mingjiao, where to teach means to impart, to educate. The founding of the patriarch is to pass on the teachings of the saints to the people of the world. He has achieved the three masters, reasoning, knowing, and teaching, and has achieved virtue and speech, but he has failed to make meritorious contributions and become holy. ”①

The young patriarch said: "In his later years, he thought left and right, but he didn't know where the merit was. Although the founding patriarch has never been holy, he has spoken for the saints, opened his own teachings, completed his virtues, and has been better than the ordinary people. Qin Mu, are you willing to inherit the virtue and words, reason and knowledge of the founding patriarch?"

Qin Mu bowed, clasped his hands into fists and stretched out to the front: "The disciple is willing." ”

The young patriarch smiled and said, "Then, the teaching, it is yours, and you have to take him down." ”

Qin Mu said in a deep voice: "The disciple bears it." ”

The young patriarch smiled slightly and said, "You sit on the stone." ”

Qin Mu stepped forward and sat on the stone under the pine and cypress.

The young patriarch looked down and said in a deep voice: "This stone is the saint stone, the saint seat, the woodcutter who pointed out the ancestor of the mountain is a saint from the sky, and the ancestor has no blood relationship, no interest relationship, just the ancestor seeks the Tao, he is a teacher, and teaches the ancestor to teach the ancestor skills." Sitting on this saint stone is the sect leader, but it is also the holy teacher of my sect. ”

His gaze swept over the hall masters, the Guardian Elders, the Inspectors, the Heavenly Kings, and the Dharma Protectors, and said in a deep voice, "You, holding the disciple ceremony, have you seen the Holy Master." ”

The three hundred and sixty hall masters, the twelve guardian elders, the eight major inspectors, the three major town sect kings, and the left and right guardian envoys have all held disciples, and the holy woman Si Ruxiang hesitated, and had to hold the disciple ceremony.

"Disciple, see Holy Sect Master!"

All the mouths resounded in unison, resounding through the holy mountain.

The young patriarch looked at Granny Si and said in a deep voice: "Li Tianxing, the new sect leader has ascended the throne, and you still haven't shown up? Haven't you passed on my teaching techniques from generation to generation? Are you going to bring the holy skills I taught to the coffin and bury them completely?"

Granny Si's body shook slightly, and an old voice came from her mouth: "Disciple...... Respect the teacher's law. ”

She is obviously a woman, but she is talking like an old man at the moment, her voice is very rough, and she has an extremely domineering majesty, but she doesn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the young patriarch.

Granny Si came to Qin Mu, Qin Mu was about to stand up, Granny Si's palm was already on his forehead, Granny Si's eyebrows were shuttled with wisps of golden light, and at the same time, various voices sounded in the golden light, drilling into Qin Mu's eyebrows, in his mind.

"Sect Leader Li......" someone below whispered.

At this moment, it is the former sect leader Li Tianxing who occupies the body of Granny Si, although he was plotted by Granny Si, but he also planted himself in Granny Si's Dao heart, becoming Granny Si's inner demon, waiting for the opportunity, replacing him, and becoming the woman he loves the most.

The various voices in Qin Mu's mind were disordered and complicated, like a god preaching the Fa outside the nine heavens, a demon whispering in his ear, and a Buddha chanting in his heart, which was unspeakably strange.

"The voice of a saint?"

His heart shook slightly, and he suddenly thought of a possibility, this voice was the voice of the woodcutter who chopped wood, and what the Li Sect Master passed on to him was the scripture that the woodcutter spoke when he passed on the Dharma and the ancestor of the mountain!

Note (1): Sanming Sanli, from the couplet in front of Wang Yangming's former residence, "Virtue and meritorious service, true words and three immortals, clear reason and clear knowledge that Ming Jiao is a teacher of ten thousand people". This sentence was used by the ancients to describe saints.
