Pingzhou is located between Wuzhou and Wangzhou, with two major river basins of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, and is a genuine hinterland of the Central Plains.

This was once the birthplace of the civilization of the Senwu Continent, and there have been many amazing and brilliant characters throughout the ages.

But it's not in the middle of a bustling city at this time.

On the mountain road full of loess, an old man and a young man rode a mule and walked slowly.

"Master, it's been half a year, haven't you been able to find a Taoist temple dedicated to the statue of our ancestor god?"

In the past six months, Yu Xia has changed from being full of interest and curiosity about everything at the beginning to being listless now.

Even the mules that had been carrying them were not as dark and bright as they had been at the beginning.

Yu Xia's pot was not opened, which pot was raised, which made Chen Dao angry and blushed.

"I have been away for many years as a teacher, and I never thought that the Taoist temple I practiced at the beginning would be transformed and enshrined in other gods!"

"Master, I don't understand, whether it's the orthodox Dao Sect or our Jianghu Xuanmen, aren't they actually all cultivators? Since everyone is a Taoist priest, why don't we worship Sanqing? ”

Chen Daoren pursed his lips disdainfully.

"Of course it's different! The three Qings enshrined by the orthodox Taoist sect are all gods, and they are not popular. The stinky Taoist priests of the orthodox Daomen have dreamed of becoming immortals all their lives. Our Mai pie is different, and what we pay attention to is joining the WTO. ”

This was the first time Yu Xia had heard Chen Daoren answer their master's question head-on.

"Is there a conflict between joining the WTO and being an immortal?"

Chen Daoren glanced at Yu Xia, "Of course there is a conflict, don't you look at the appearance of those orthodox Daomen disciples who are dressed in white regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter?" Every day, he looks down on mortals, as if they don't eat grains and don't eat and drink Lazar. ”

"The ancestor of our Mai Sect, the Mai Taoist, lived with the people at the beginning. What's even more legendary is that he turned out to be a monk. ”

"Monk?"

Chen Daoren raised his head proudly, "Our ancestor is not ordinary, he is a strange person who cultivates Buddhism and Taoism!" ”

"It is rumored that he 'often wears hemp braids as clothes, unkempt and filthy, but his face is childish, and his eyes are blue', he is proficient in physiognomy, good at easy learning, and mathematics, and melts it into a furnace. He is the master of the ancestor of Emei Zhenren Chen Tuan, who admires him very much, saying that he is 'a master of morality, a man who learns from heaven, and as for future generations, he has a lesson from the gods'. ”

Yu Xia was taken aback, "Emei real person? ”

Chen Daoren nodded, "Yes, you also know how rare it is to be a legendary figure who can be called a 'real person' throughout the ages, and the disciple of our ancestor is just one of those few people!" ”

"However, why can Chen Tuo's ancestor become a real person, how can the ancestor who is his master ......" Yu Xia was puzzled.

Chen Dao was so angry that he picked up the dry tobacco pouch and knocked on Yu Xia's head.

"Stupid! Our ancestor is such a transcendent and strange person in the world, how can he ever pay attention to the title of a 'real person'? ”

"Isn't it a matter of not being able to put it in your eyes......" Yu Xia muttered quietly.

Chen Daoren stretched out his hand and wanted to knock Yu Xia's head again, but this time Yu Xia was clever and hurriedly bent down to dodge.

Chen Dao snorted and blew his beard, "You little rabbit cub, I will accept you as a disciple, even if your cultivation is low, you are still stupid and stupid, and more importantly, you don't know how to respect the teacher, every day you know how to be angry with me!" ”

"Why did I take you as an apprentice blindly!"

"Master, don't be duplicitous."

Yu Xia grinned, her eyes bent into crescents, shiny.

"At that time, I thought I was alone, but you have been hiding in the dark and quietly paying attention to me, quietly treating my injuries, and quietly sending me into the inn, at that time you left me a note, I still secretly keep it, don't admit it!"

Chen Daoren's eyes widened, and he turned his head away from her.

Yu Xia smiled secretly when he saw Chen Daoren's appearance, rolled his eyes and asked, "Master, then why do we have to come to Pingzhou to find the Taoist temple?" ”

Chen Daoren glanced at Yu Xia with disdain.

"It's true that you read through the easy-to-learn classics, but you don't know much about these rumors. Our ancestor is originally from Nanyang, Pingzhou, this is the birthplace of our Mai faction, and the inner countryside we just passed through is the birthplace of our grandfather. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Daoren sighed, "It's just that I didn't expect that our Mai Sect would fall to this point." ”

They wandered in Nanyang for half a year, and they also searched for half a year, but they didn't find a Taoist temple dedicated to Mai Taoist.

If you can't find a Taoist temple, this apprenticeship will naturally not work.

"Master, don't care about those false courtesies, this apprenticeship ceremony can't be successful, haven't I already called you Master for half a year? You didn't teach me anything, but I'll still honor you. ”

Chen Daoren glanced at Yu Xia, "Don't hint at me in a roundabout way, don't you just want to say that my master is useless and can't teach you skills?" ”

"Where can you be, Master, you think too much." Yu Xia touched the back of his head and smiled.

"I believe in your evil," Chen Daoren snorted lightly, "You girl is full of crooked ideas, I used to say that you were honest, it turns out that you are all clever and energetic to use me, just use words to smoke me!" ”

Yu Xia flattened his mouth and looked at Chen Daoren pitifully.

"Master, in the past six months, you haven't let me cultivate, nor have you asked me to draw talismans and carved formations, just take me to the mountains and rivers, I feel that I am going to be wasted."

"You damn girl is finally willing to tell the truth." Chen Daoren sneered and glanced at Yu Xia, "Just your little caution, you still want to hide it from me." ”

"Master......" Yu Xia became more and more aggrieved, like a child who wanted candy.

She was meant to be a child.

Chen Daoren glanced at the black, thin, and small Yu Xia and sighed.

"I didn't mean not to let you cultivate, you should know that your body is too badly damaged, even if the vitality in your body is restored, but if you use it rashly, it is very likely to damage the root cause and lay a hidden danger for future cultivation."

"I'm well now...... I've been eating Taiyuan Dan for half a year. Speaking of this, Yu Xia lowered his head again and muttered, "If you eat three Taiyuan Dan a day, maybe it will be good a long time ago." ”

Chen Daoren shook his head, rarely angry, but patiently explained to her, "You have to know, it is a medicine that is three points poisonous, even if it is an ordinary qi tonifying pill, I can't let you eat it for many years, if it weren't for the good medicinal properties of Taiyuan Dan and the few toxins in it, I would like not let you take any medicine." With the jade plaque hanging around your neck alone, as long as you keep it honestly and well, you will be able to recover sooner or later. ”

Seeing that Yu Xia opened her mouth to speak, Chen Daoren raised her hand and motioned for her to listen to herself first.

"Do you know why Taiyuan Dan can only take a maximum of three pills a day?"
