Mountains, high mountains, rolling hills, straight into the clouds.

The ancient trees on the mountain are towering and stand next to the sky. The sky next to the treetops was as far as the eye could see.

The sun was scorching on the mountains.

In the midst of the rolling mountains, there is a huge basin, and this basin is where the Daomen of the Xuandao Gate is located.

Xuandao Gate, the holy land of cultivating immortals, has hundreds of thousands of disciples.

In the world, if anyone can be elected to the Xuandao Gate, it is a great joy worthy of celebration.

Xuandaomen is to accommodate the most cultivators, the most complete Taoism of a great sect, in the world, a town or a city, can be selected into the Xuandaomen practice very few, if selected, generally the city will be like a festival to celebrate with lanterns.

This shows the status of Xuandaomen in the minds of the world.

This status is what the disciples of the Xuandao Sect have been exacerbating demons and defending the common people all the time, and it is also proved by the strength of the number of people who have soared to hundreds in the past thousand years, far surpassing the strength of other similar sects.

The head of this generation of Xuandao Sect is called Diling Zhenren, and he is the thirty-eighth generation of the head.

He only accepted one disciple in his life, that is, the eldest disciple of Xuandaomen named Xuangu, and also accepted a registered disciple, the second disciple of Xuandaomen, named Xuanye.

Xuangu this person, more than 1,000 years of cultivation, profound Taoism, wearing a white dress on weekdays, into the eyes is a weak scholar appearance, polite to others, often full of smiles to show people, never in front of people to show that he is superior to others, so he is very popular with other disciples, but also the only one in the head of the house to get his own disciple to preach the Tao, the Xuandao Sect is very envious of him, can learn Taoism with the master, a few lifetimes of cultivation to have such a blessing.

Xuangu was even more customized by the earth spirit real person as the successor head, once the earth spirit real person flew out of here, Xuan Gu was the new head.

Although he looks weak, he is the number one powerhouse in the sect except for his master, and he has always made great contributions after so many years of training, and his prestige and status in the sect are extremely high. Master's love is one thing, and the main thing is that he really cares about the world.

Besides, the second disciple Xuanye, in addition to cultivating the Tao on weekdays, rarely move around with the disciples under the door, often dressed in black, and rushing, he entered the mountain gate at the same time as Xuangu, and was accepted as an apprentice by the earth spirit real person, but he is named, and the learning of the Tao is not passed on by the earth spirit real person, and it is Xuangu who teaches him after learning. His Taoism is on par with Xuangu, because he doesn't like to travel and doesn't often communicate with people, but his status in the door is far inferior to Xuangu.

The head of this generation of Xuandaomen has practiced for thousands of years, and he has reached the point where he is about to become an immortal, and he has been in retreat for more than half a year in order to break through.

Up and down the Dao Gate, under the leadership of Xuangu and Xuanye and the twelve elders, it was in order, the cultivation of the Dao, the experience of training, and the peaceful and calm scene in the door.

On this day, the weather was hot, and Xuan Gu came to the door of the Enlightenment Hall where the master lived with trepidation. Master hasn't shown up for several months, and he's at an important juncture in his realm, so don't have an accident.

When he stood at the door, he bowed his head and spoke, "Master, I'm Xuangu, come and see you."

An old and frail voice came from the door, "Enter." Fortunately, this time the master reacted, and the first few times he came like this, there was no response from inside the door.

Genya quickly pushed the door in.

In the Hall of Enlightenment, the crane-haired and childish earth spirit real person sat on the futon, his face should be ruddy without blood, and blood was dripping from the corners of his mouth, looking tired and extremely tired

Seeing that Master's face was pale and there was blood at the corners of his mouth, Xuangu hurriedly stepped forward and gently wiped it off with his sleeve, then knelt on the ground and asked anxiously, "Master, how are you, Master?"

He opened his eyes, looked at the proud disciple in front of him, his eyes were like torches, he showed a pleased smile, and said softly: "Xuangu, the master is fine, the master has broken through, and he will go to the upper realm in the near future, after the teacher ascends, you will be the thirty-ninth generation of the head, remember, the cultivator must punish the evil and promote the good, eliminate the demons and defend the Tao, and protect the common people in the world as their own responsibility. Cultivators need to have the world in their hearts, although they do not need great compassion, but they must not act in vain to kill them, and when they encounter demons and monsters, they must give priority to the degree of transformation. Do you remember? ”

Xuangu kowtowed and replied, "Yes, Master, please rest assured, the disciples will definitely follow the teachings."

The old man nodded, like a child's face was full of joy, took out a token from his sleeve, and handed it to Xuan Gu, "Now teach you the master token for the master, from now on, you are the head of the Xuandao Gate, Xuan Gu, come with your ears", Xuan Gu knelt and moved his body, put his ears close to the master's mouth, and the old man's lips opened and closed for a while and then closed his eyes and then moved nothing.

Xuan Gu stepped back, three steps away from the master, the layman knelt down three times and bowed nine times, and said firmly, "It's the master!" Remember. ”

"Well, there is another thing for the teacher to mention you, your cultivation is not much different from Xuanye, you must remember to beware of him, don't give him too much real power, send him more errands to subdue demons and subdue demons, let him contribute more to the Daomen, don't let him stay in the door often. From now on, you have to cultivate diligently and improve yourself as soon as possible, and you may be able to escape a catastrophe." The old man said this and stopped talking.

Xuangu kowtowed again and said, "Yes, Master!" I will definitely practice diligently."

The old man nodded, raised his hand and motioned for Xuangu to leave: "Go!" Govern the Daomen well".

Xuan Gu held the token above his head in both hands and walked to the door of the Enlightenment Hall, and the door slowly closed behind him.

Xuangu held the token and walked to the square, where on the ground, hundreds of thousands of disciples from the Xuandao Sect were sitting in unison. At this time, it was the time for all the disciples of the Xuandao Sect to practice the Mental Method, except for the disciples who went out to practice, everyone else was here.

In front of everyone, Xuangu held the head token above his head, and said loudly: "My name is Xuangu, I swear here at this moment, all the disciples are witnesses, and the oath is as follows: I, Xuangu, will definitely carry forward the Xuandaomen, and it is not a pity to subdue demons and subdue demons for the life and death of the world." If I do not do this, I will never be able to set foot on the path of cultivation again."

As soon as Xuan Gu's words fell, a seven-colored beam of light fell from the sky from the inner courtyard of the Enlightenment Hall where the old master was located, and Xuan Gu knelt on the ground holding the token when he saw this, only to see the master meditate into the beam and disappear into the sky.

Xuangu said loudly at this time: "Junior disciples, the master in charge has attained the Tao and ascended day by day, and we as disciples should keep in mind the master's teachings, and now I announce that the four elders of the Xuandao Sect are served by Xuanye, Xuankong, Xuanzhi, and Xuanzi, who are respectively in charge of the four halls. The main task now is Master's ascension ceremony."

Xuangu looked at Xuanye, who was dressed in Xuanyi beside him, and said, "Senior brother, Master's ascension ceremony will be fully entrusted to you, and other affairs will continue as usual."

"Yes, senior brother in charge", Xuanye replied.

Xuanya received the order of the Ascension Ceremony and took the people to prepare all the necessary things.

In the next few days, Xuangu was still sitting quietly in the Enlightenment Hall to practice Qi as usual, and there was an unusually powerful Haoran Righteous Qi condensed in the dead hall, and gradually this breath penetrated through the roof and went straight into the clouds.

Xuanye, who was busy doing things outside, was shocked when he saw this scene, did the senior brother break through? How is this good, his strength will definitely rise a lot, how can he still be an opponent? First go and meet him, and find out what is true and false. It just so happened that the Master's ascension ceremony had already been prepared, so I invited him to attend the ceremony by the way.

He flew to the door of the Enlightenment Hall and landed, and said with his head bowed: "Senior brother in charge! I'm Genya, can I go in"?

Hearing this, Xuangu put away his breath and opened the door.

Xuanye stepped in respectfully from outside the door, secretly looked at Xuangu's face, and said, "Senior Brother in charge, I just saw a righteous aura surrounding the hall, Senior Brother has broken through the bottleneck and reached the Seventh Heaven."

"En", Xuan Gu replied expressionlessly.

Xuanye showed joy and sighed, "Senior brother is really amazing."

"It's still early before the Nine Heavens, you and I have to cultivate diligently."

Xuangu didn't open his eyes, and his voice, which was unwavering, couldn't hear joy and anger.

Xuanye's expression froze, and he nodded in response, "What Senior Brother said is true!" By the way, Master's ceremony is ready, please go to the master's brother! ”

After saying that, Xuanye made a gesture of guidance, followed Xuangu out of the Enlightenment Hall and closed the door smoothly, and did not forget to look inside the hall.

This is the Enlightenment Hall that a registered disciple is not allowed to enter! Xuanye secretly clenched his hands, one day I will live here!

"Let's go, junior brother."

Xuangu turned sideways and glanced at Xuanye, who was staying at the door, and said lightly.

The two of them flew to the edge of the platform in the center of the Xuandaomen Square.

A platform was built in the middle of the huge square, on which was placed the spiritual jade plaque of the ascended elder, and all the disciples in the gate stood neatly in the square.

The platform is located in the center of a gossip map, surrounded by flags, and you can look down on the entire gate from standing on the platform.

Xuangu stood on the edge of the platform, and the little disciple brought him a newly made Taoist uniform, pinched a trick, and the new clothes were put on his body.

With a majestic look on his face, he said to the disciples in the gate who were standing in the square in Taoist robes, "Master has universalized sentient beings, and now that we have attained the Tao and ascended, we should not forget Master's teachings, work hard to cultivate the Tao and practice martial arts, punish the evil and promote the good, and eliminate the demons and defend the Tao."

The voice of Xuangu's righteousness stirred the hearts of every disciple.

After he finished speaking, he took the three lit incense sticks handed by the deacon, and Xuan Gu gathered the three incense sticks to the seal hall and bowed three times, turned around and inserted them into the incense burner on the platform.

Turning around, he picked up his saber and said loudly: "Senior brothers, pick up the long sword in your hand and say goodbye with martial arts", Xuan Gu's voice echoed around the door.

As the sound fell, the neat and shocking Taoist martial arts shook the entire Daomen and heaven and earth.

Master, go with confidence! Gengu will continue your teachings and live up to your expectations. Looking at the skilled and neat martial arts postures of the juniors and disciples in front of him, he said secretly in his heart.

After the ascension ceremony, Xuan Gu devoted himself to cultivation and forgot what his master had said to him on his deathbed.

He handed over all the affairs of his master to Xuanye, and he retreated in the secret room of the Enlightenment Hall.

Half a year later.

Xuangu was cultivating, and suddenly felt uncertain, pinching his fingers, big murderer! His heart suddenly chuckled, and he hurriedly got up and floated out of the secret room.

Xuangu flew in the sky above the Enlightenment Hall, only to see that the sky was the same as before, blue and cloudless, bright, obviously fine, why was his heart inexplicably alarmed?

I pinched my fingers to count, but I couldn't calculate anything, and a sense of confusion filled my chest. Xuangu raised his head and looked at the sky, there was no cloud, so calm, but it just seemed that something was missing.

Still feeling uncertain in his heart, he floated to the ground and looked at the sky again, and the feeling of missing something was even more obvious.

Genya decided to take a look inside the door to see what was wrong.

After checking the major courtyards, there was nothing to find, Xuan Gu felt that it was very hot, and thought to himself, this will be the time for the disciples of the Daomen to practice, and the medicine field must be left unattended, so I should go and see the medicine field in the back mountain, so as not to be damaged by the sun.

Bask? What about the sun, why is it so bright? Raising his head, Xuan Gu realized that he had always felt that something was missing, and it turned out that the sun in the sky was gone!

After practicing for more than 1,000 years and reading all the classics, there has never been a record of no sun in the sky! I don't know what such a vision portends.

Just after confirming that the sun was missing, Xuan Gu didn't have time to meet with the elders in the door, and an extremely bright point of light appeared in the place where the sun was supposed to be at this time, and this point of light quickly became larger, and soon became a huge fire accompanied by a long tail flame, and it quickly fell in the direction of the Demon Town Tower.

That fire is obviously the true fire of samadhi!
