Volume 1 The Way of the World Chapter 1 When will the Qinglian monk come?
Qingcheng Mountain, known as Zhangren Mountain in ancient times, is a branch of the Qionglai Mountain Range, a Danyan valley, and a steep cliff of Chibi. Thirty-six peaks of the whole mountain, the peaks are surrounded by undulating peaks, the forest is verdant and verdant, the Dan ladder is a thousand steps, the winding path is secluded, it is the holy land of Taoism since ancient times, and Hubei Wudang Mountain, Jiangxi Longhu Mountain, Anhui Qiyun Mountain, Shaanxi Jingfu Mountain are called the five immortal mountains. It is rumored in the world that you can seek the path of eternal life and ascend to the clear heavens here. So that from ancient times to the present, people who seek to ask immortals visit this mountain, and the incense is prosperous. The enlightened people build palaces and pavilions here, raise fairy birds and beasts, and protect the herbs of the forest. Nowadays, it is known to the world, worshipping the gods and worshipping incense, and there is an endless stream of people who preview the wonders.
One morning, the fog locked the clouds, and the eyes could not see. Under the Chaoyang Cave, deep in the winding mountain road, there are crying babies in the stone pavilion. A load of water came from the mountain stream, and when he heard the sound, he put down the bucket, picked up the baby, and protected the cold wind. Looking around, there was no one around, I couldn't walk or stay, and I had to rely on the two buckets of water for breakfast in the mountains, and I was anxious about where the child's caretaker went, and I secretly hated being so careless. After waiting for a long time to no avail, he sighed and picked up the abandoned baby and rushed to the temple. Lao Dao thought that the child's parents would always find it, and they couldn't starve the child, so he cooked porridge on the fire and fed the child. The child is beautiful, and after eating, he grabs the old man's beard and giggles, which makes the old man laugh, and the laughter in the mountains is loud. How do you know that this porridge has been fed for seven years with one water......
"Old man, do you think I can cultivate the Tao?" the child's voice was crisp.
"Repair, repair!" the old man smiled and looked at the jade-carved villain.
"Then why do I always have to help you make porridge on the fire, but you don't teach me?" the child asked.
"Letting you burn the fire and pick vegetables is to refine your physique, how can you practice the Tao if your body is not healthy?"
"I can catch the herring in the deep pool of the mountain stream, so what do you want me to catch for you to be considered strong?"
"Hahahaha...... When you have hair on your head, you will be considered strong. Lao Dao touched the child's bright little bald head and smiled.
"......" The child's eyes were suddenly foggy, his nose was red, and he was about to cry.
"Ouch, Ancestor, how about the old man take you to worship the Heavenly Master tomorrow?"
"Old man, this is what you said, and you can't go back on it. Otherwise, I'll go down the mountain alone, find a lot of old men, and don't want you anymore. The child looked at Lao Dao with tears.
"No repentance, no repentance. Even if Master Zu wants me to repent, I won't do it. Lao Dao held the child's face.
"Then which Heavenly Master do you lead me to worship? I see that my brothers and sisters, who are much older than me, sit on the futon all day long, singing useless scriptures, cultivating useless Taos, and even my miscellaneous yellow dog can run around with a group of people. The child pointed to the half-squinted dog lying in the doorway. But it is not a yellow dog, but a gray hair, huge body, half waist tall as an adult, a pinch of red hair under the jaw like fire, the tip of the claws is sharp like a cold blade, the mouth is open and the fangs are like a ghostly light, the eyes are cold like ice, and the end of the beast is a fierce beast. Since he was injured and was brought back by the child to feed, he bit and bitten, and the Taoist chickens and dogs jumped, and the beasts and ghosts on the mountains cried wolves.
"Ancestor, are you still a dog? more vicious than a wolf cub. Besides, cultivation is about talent and wisdom, and your senior brothers and sisters are absolutely inferior to yours. Only then can you have great opportunities and great creations. Lao Dao said with a smile and stroked his beard.
"Then I will not learn their way, I will cultivate the way of great opportunity and great creation. Okay?" the child's eyes were full of hope.
"Good, good, good. Then I will take you to worship Yu Qingzi in Chaoyang Cave tomorrow, you have to fight for anger, if the heavenly master doesn't want you, you can't cry. Lao Dao scraped the child's pink nose.
"I don't worship Chaoyang Cave, can I worship the old immortal of Laojun Pavilion?" the child asked with sparkling eyes.
"......" Lao Dao didn't expect that this little demon wanted to worship Lao Jun Pavilion, and the disciples in the Peak Pavilion were all from the Heavenly Master Realm.
"I'm talking nonsense again! How can you go there? If you mess around again, I'll let you go to the room to steam steamed buns and do miscellaneous things. The old man grimaced.
"If I go to steam steamed buns, how can I learn to make great changes?" Wow......" The child suddenly felt sad and cried. At this moment, the big dog at the door walked in and licked the tears on the child's face with his huge tongue, as if comforting.
"Ancestor, you cry again, the old gods on the top of the mountain can't be worshipped, you know the Yuqingzi Heavenly Master of Chaoyang Cave, right? Then you have to kneel and bow to the old immortals, you are a milky doll, how can I teach you? Obedient, if you don't worship in Chaoyang Cave, let's worship the Qing Palace, and you can also learn to become an immortal in the future." "Lao Dao really can't do anything about children.
The old man of the Shangqing Palace can't even beat Yu Qingzi, I saw it in the crack of the door last time I saw it in the crack of the door....... "The child was even more aggrieved, sitting on the ground with his buttocks, holding the big dog and crying. The big dog also instantly drooped his head and looked at Lao Dao, as if he was begging for help.
"Hmph......" There was an angry snort at the door, and it turned out that the person who came was the head of the Shangqing Palace, the Jade Xuzi of the Heavenly Master Realm. Originally, this Yu Xuzi came to Chaoyang Cave to discuss things with Yu Qingzi, and the little Taoist priest who led the way took him on a detour for some reason, and happened to pass by the door of the room, and stopped to take a closer look when he heard the crying. I didn't know that when I heard such a humiliating conversation, my angry old face was red, and my beard trembled, but the other party was an ignorant child, and there was no place to spread fire, blowing his beard and glaring. The little Taoist priest next to him trembled on his shoulders, lowered his head and made a "hum" sound, obviously uncomfortable, and he was afraid of hurting Yuxuzi's face, so he didn't dare to raise his head and make a sound. Yu Xuzi was furious, and in a fit of anger, he brushed his sleeves away.
Yu Xuzi left, leaving a child and an old Taoist to look at each other. The old Taoist thought that something bad had happened, and he had angered the Heavenly Master, so how should he end up and make amends? The child had tears in the corners of his eyes and sniffed, but he was indifferent, obviously not taking it seriously.
Just when the old man and the young were distressed and sad, the big dog next to him suddenly got up, protected the child behind him, his hair was upside down like a thorn, his front paws were slightly bent, his fangs were exposed, and he let out a low evil roar at the door, as if a great enemy was coming, ready to rush out and strike a fierce and fatal blow at any time.
I saw a figure standing at the door at some point, this person was about seventy, wearing a white robe, with a bun on his head at will, holding a green silk whisk in his hand, and a three-foot Qingfeng on his back, looking at this old man and young with a smile, without any momentum on his body, just like an ordinary warlock. The Taoist priest in the view, the big dog is known, and even the real dog of the Laojun Pavilion at the top of the peak has seen it, and he has also suffered hardships. If it is a Taoist priest in the temple, the big dog doesn't have to pay attention to it, the old one doesn't dare to mess with it, and the small one can't beat it. Although this person now looks kind, like an ordinary old man, he is sensitive to danger, and he immediately bared his teeth. The old man glanced at the big dog lightly, and the big dog suddenly whimpered. The old man smiled and asked the little doll:
"You said you want to learn great opportunities and great creations?" the old man shook the dust.
"It's nature. The child stood up, and was not afraid.
"Then what is the great opportunity, and what is the great creation?" said the old man.
The "......" child didn't know how to answer, and he was confused at the moment.
"Haha......" The old man laughed when he saw this.
"Now that you don't know the chance, how can you cultivate?" the old man smiled at the child again.
The child's eyes were suddenly clear, as if the clouds had been removed. His intuition told him that he couldn't learn the Tao in Chaoyang Cave, and he couldn't cultivate Laojun Pavilion. So he bowed his head and bowed:
"If you can follow the old gods and immortals, you are willing to serve tea and water every day, clean your clothes and sweep the couch. Please teach me the old gods. The child couldn't hear the answer and kept kowtowing. Looking at the small body, the old man who raised him looked distressed.
"Do you recognize this?" the old man waved his green silk to whisk the dust.
