Chapter 107: The Dojo in the Land of Smoke and Willows
Daoist Qiu Yuan was dressed in a black robe, and the three-star badge on his chest was extremely conspicuous, showing his respectful status.
This person is tall and long, with black hair and brown eyes, and a white beard, and his first impression is that of a very kind middle-aged Confucian scholar.
And those who are familiar with Daoist Qiu Yuan know that this three-star preacher is now more than a year old.
Of course, he can't be an ordinary person, in addition to his identity as a preacher, he is also a real powerhouse of the Three Tribulations Golden Light Realm.
Lu Tong didn't feel the slightest coercion on Daoist Qiu Yuan's body, but he knew very well that there was still a big gap between himself and the other party.
Without too much hesitation, Lu Tong stepped forward and said: "Thanks to Daoist Qiu's false praise, the younger generation is just a fluke." ”
Daoist Qiu Yuan looked at Lu Tong with a smile, his blazing eyes were full of gentleness, and the two crane-haired elders beside him were also observing Lu Tong.
"These two elders...... Far from ordinary. Lu Tong felt the breath of the two old men, and couldn't help but be secretly shocked in his heart.
These two people, at least they are also cultivators of the Qi realm, but they are willing to defend on both sides of Qiu Yuan's Daoist.
"I'm afraid they are the protectors recruited by Daoist Master Qiu Yuan. Lu Tong thought secretly.
The preacher is a special kind of person among the monks in the world.
Not only can they recruit a wide range of disciples, preach and teach the Dharma, but they are also qualified to recruit apologists, and the cultivation strength of apologists is generally higher than that of preachers.
The reason why some apologists are willing to follow the preacher is nothing more than a mutually beneficial relationship.
They can protect the publisher and protect the dojo before he is fully grown.
When the preacher has grown up, he can give feedback to these apologists to help them achieve enlightenment.
Of course, this also represents an attitude of the apologist who is more optimistic about the potential of the preacher and thinks that they can help him in the future.
"It's not bad, and to be a one-star preacher at such an age has a bright future. One of the elders spoke, and his hoarse and deep voice made people subconsciously think that this was an old man with an old age.
"Thank you, seniors. Lu Tong didn't dare to slack off, and he also carried out the junior ceremony.
"Haha...... Okay, both the Taoist Hall and Beiyun Prefecture need such young preachers to spread the Dharma for our human monks. After being silent for a moment, Daoist Qiu Yuan laughed.
"It's a long time coming, today is Lu Xiaoyou's important day, so let's not dwell on it here. Daoist Qiu Yuan said, taking out a delicate jade box from his arms.
"This is the one-star preacher badge of the Taoist Palace, Lu Xiaoyou, this is exclusive to you. Daoist Qiu Yuan handed it over.
Lu Tong hurriedly held it with both hands, and thanked him again.
"Okay, in that case, Elder Bai, you can take Lu Xiaoyou to the chosen dojo. Daoist Qiu Yuan looked at the old man on the left who had just spoken, and smiled.
"There are Lao seniors. Lu Tong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as he was about to follow the old man to leave, he heard Daoist Qiu Yuan say again: "By the way, Lu Xiaoyou, Elder Bai will escort the array mage and arrange a two-pole teleportation array for your dojo together." ”
"I don't know where your teleportation array is going?" asked Daoist Qiu Yuan, pretending to be puzzled.
"It's time to come or come, this one is really anxious. Lu Tong's heart that he had just put down was lifted again.
He understood that this Qiu Yuan Daoist was clearly reminding him to make a choice.
But Lu Tong was already prepared in his heart, and he did not hesitate to say: "The junior has a dojo under the mountain in the master gate, and the teleportation array should lead to the mountain gate. ”
"Oh?" Wouldn't it be more convenient for Fellow Daoist Qiu Yuan to raise his voice slightly, "Wouldn't it be more convenient for Lu Xiaoyou to bring all the disciples to the Nine Xuancheng Dojo?"
Lu Tong could only say the original rhetoric: "The master is not allowed, and the younger generation does not dare to make decisions without permission." ”
"It doesn't matter, the place where the teleportation array arrives also needs to be arranged by the array mage in person, so let Elder Bai go with you. Daoist Qiu Yuan said.
"Yunzhu Mountain is thousands of miles away, and Elder Bai can also protect you on the way. Daoist Qiu Yuan didn't give Lu Tong a chance to refuse at all, and said decisively.
How could Lu Tong not know that this Elder Bai's so-called escort was simply to monitor himself, and by the way, he was talking to the Yunzhu Mountain dignitaries who were not worth mentioning in their eyes.
This easy-going Qiu Yuan Daoist let Lu Tong see his domineering side.
"This food looks really not good. However, find the senior brother and the second senior sister to ask for someone...... Can this old man bear it?" Lu Tong glanced at the white elder and smiled with some sympathy.
"Then there's Elder Laobai. Lu Tong nodded in agreement.
"Haha...... Okay, then I'm here to wait for good news. Daoist Qiu Yuan smiled.
Leaving the main hall, followed by the white elder, Lu Tong picked up Shangguan Xiu'er and Li Wei, and went straight to the dojo prepared for him by the Taoist Palace.
As for the array mage, they are already waiting there.
Lu Tong and the three of them followed Elder Bai all the way, left the Taoist Palace, called a rickshaw, and went south along the main road on the bank of the Jiuwan River.
Speeding all the way, Lu Tong suddenly felt that the surrounding environment was becoming more and more familiar, wasn't this the road he had walked every day for the past two months?
When the rickshaw stopped, Shangguan Xiu'er's eyes also lit up and said, "Master, this place is not far from our inn, is the dojo here?"
The reason why they were excited was because Shangguan Xiuer found that the place they had visited was actually closer to those gentle townships than the inn.
At a glance, you can find five green buildings in your sight, not counting the flower boats that pass by every night on the Jiuwan River.
"It seems that I really have a relationship with beauty!" Shangguan Xiuer thought happily in his heart.
Lu Tong frowned secretly, he also saw that this place was clearly a place of smoke and willows, could it be that his dojo was here?
"This is it. Elder Bai took Lu Tong and the others through an alley again, pointed to a slightly deserted walled compound in front of him, and affirmed.
The compound was built along the river and covered an area of about 10 acres, which was large enough to build a preaching stand that could accommodate thousands of people at the same time.
The geographical location is not bad, but it is slightly deserted, and there are faint voices of warblers and swallows from a few miles away, which is slightly noisy.
Elder Bai's hoarse voice came, "This used to be a one-star missionary's dojo, but it has been shelved for decades, and Lu Xiaoyou will definitely have a new atmosphere if it is renovated a little." What else is in demand, albeit said. ”
Lu Tong nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you Elder Bai, the juniors have nothing else to ask for." ”
For the dojo set aside by the Taoist Palace, he is not qualified to pick and choose, after all, this is the territory that belongs to the Taoist Palace, and he only has the right to use it.
Shangguan Xiuer and Li Wei glanced at each other, anyway, they were very satisfied, at least there was no need to spend spirit stones here.
"Let's go in and have a look. Elder Bai took the lead in the steps.
Entering the compound, you will see an empty and spacious preaching platform, and you can vaguely see the grand occasion when the disciples gathered to listen to the sermon.
Around the preaching stand, there are rockeries, gardens, small bridges, and flowing water, which look dirty but also complete.
Passing through the pulpit, there is a slightly smaller courtyard, with a spacious arena in the center, and a row of houses on each side, which is supposed to be a place for the disciples to live.
Beyond this courtyard is a secluded courtyard, which is obviously more elaborately built, and is the place where the preacher and the disciples of the family live.
The view of this backyard is obviously the best, not only can you not hear the noise of the outside world, but also close to the Jiuwan River outside the wall, which has its own unique landscape.
This three-entry compound is Lu Tong's dojo in this Jiuxuan City.
At this time, a white-robed middle-aged man walked out of a house in the backyard and greeted Elder Bai, and said expressionlessly: "The teleportation array here has been set up, and now you can go to the other end." ”
"Elder Lin, this is the master of this dojo, Daoist Lu, and I will personally escort you to Yunzhu Mountain. Elder Bai didn't care about the middle-aged indifference, and said with a smile.
The status of the formation mage is respected, especially in this land of Northern Yunzhou, it is even rarer, so it is inevitable that some arrogant tempers are inevitable.
Lu Tong had heard of this slightly, so he took the initiative to step forward and said politely: "There is Elder Lao." ”
"This small teleportation array can only be used by one person at a time, and it cannot be abused. Elder Lin glanced at Lu Tong and didn't say hello, just reminded him lightly.
As for how to use the teleportation array, there are more details that need to be paid attention to, he is too lazy to say, let's figure it out for himself.
"In that case, let's go now. Elder Bai spoke up.
