361. Chapter 361: The Seed
Seeing the master landing, Zhang Zichen and Zhang Jianfeng immediately bowed to the master and shouted at the same time, "Master." ”
"Hmm!" Zhang Shouqing just looked at him, and then walked in the direction of Zhang Tianxi.
"Shouqing, you didn't come in this time to look for your two precious apprentices, but to find me?" Zhang Tianxi saw Zhang Shouqing coming by himself, and quipped.
Master smiled. Zhang Shouqing bowed to Master, and then said, "Master, I originally had no intention of disturbing your cultivation, but this matter is really important, and I can't be the master, so I'll wait for Master to speak." ”
"Oh, is there still a big deal in our Dragon and Tiger Taoist Temple, and you still can't be the master?" Zhang Tianxi touched his long white beard and said, "Look." ”
Zhang Shouqing nodded slightly, "Master, Longhu Mountain sent someone to send an invitation......
Before Zhang Shouqing could continue, Zhang Tianxi's action of touching his beard froze, his brows tightened, and he stared at Zhang Shouqing and asked, "What invitation!?"
Zhang Shouqing replied truthfully: "It's an invitation for the New Year, and Zhang Qingyun, the head of Longhu Mountain, personally worships the post, so that we can go back and get together on the first day of the New Year to discuss the 'Jiazi Dao Conference' to be held in Wudang Mountain next year." ”
"Jiazi Dao Conference?" Hearing this familiar word, Zhang Tianxi sighed inexplicably for a while, and said with a wry smile, "Yijiazi is sixty years old, and the Jiazi Dao Conference sixty years ago was held in Longhu Mountain, at that time I was just a fledgling Taoist priest, because of some things, I had conflicts with the sect. After that, I left Longhu Mountain in a fit of anger. ”
Zhang Shouqing listened and asked softly, "Master, what happened sixty years ago?"
Zhang Tianxi was stunned for a while, he showed a strange expression, "It's a seed thing!"
Seed!?
Zhang Shouqing was stunned for a moment and asked, "Master, what seed?"
Zhang Tianxi suddenly smiled bitterly, he stared at Zhang Zichen, silent for a long time, and everyone naturally didn't know what Zhang Tianxi was thinking.
But then, Zhang Tianxi waved his hand and said: "That's it, this is the past, we won't mention it! But this kind of thing, you will know sooner or later." ”
Zhang Shouqing remembered, but then: "Master, what should I do about this invitation?"
"In the invitation, we were asked to discuss the 'Jiazi Discussion Conference', what did you return?" Zhang Tianxi asked.
"Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain, if there is a suitable candidate among the last five generations of your disciples, Master, you can give us a place to participate in the competition. "Zhang Shouqing.
Zhang Shouqing did not participate in this Jiazi Daoist Conference, but he had also heard it.
Yijiazi is sixty years, that is, among Taoists, there is an average of one Taoist conference every sixty years.
This time, the Dao Conference was actually in vain, and it was mainly a contest between the various major sects.
Its main purpose is to test the cultivation level of the new disciples of each sect, some major sects, if the new disciples are not able to cultivate, there is no new energy, then it is very likely that the sect is defeated.
Therefore, for this Jiazi Dao Conference, almost every sect will do their best to select the best disciples of the latest batch of disciples to participate in the martial arts competition.
Because the victory or defeat of this competition is directly related to the reputation of each sect, no matter the major sect, they will participate, which is a good opportunity to show their faces.
Jiazi on Taoism, this is a grand meeting of Taoist priests.
Hearing the news, Zhang Tianxi touched his white beard and laughed: "The last five generations of disciples, even you, I only have two generations of disciples here, where did the five generations of disciples come from." ”
"Master's. Zhang Shouqing replied.
"It seems that the antiques have lifted their prejudice against me, and they have begun to find ways to trick me and want me to go back to the mountain gate. Zhang Tianxi is still looking forward to this, after all, after being away for many years, he has been thinking about the gate faction that once gave birth to him and raised him.
"Master, there is a question that has been buried in my heart for many years, can I ask it?" Zhang Shouqing.
"Ask!" Zhang Tianxi was in a good mood.
"Master, I knew earlier that you were the only cultivation genius in Longhu Mountain in the last few hundred years, and you were also a direct disciple of Longhu Mountain's surname Zhang. After a pause, Zhang Shouqing continued to ask, "But what happened later?
Zhang Shouqing's question has been buried in his heart for nearly twenty years, and he wants to know what happened to Master Zhang Tianxi and Longhu Mountain, which has brought him to the point where he is now inseparable.
"Direct disciple surnamed Zhang......" Zhang Tianxi smiled bitterly, "It's okay to tell you about this matter, I have always been worried about this matter, it has always been a knot in my heart!"
In fact, not only Zhang Shouqing, Zhang Zichen and Zhang Jianfeng have also heard that their ancestors are direct disciples of Longhu Mountain.
The monks of Longhu Mountain are divided into two kinds of people, one is surnamed Zhang, and they are the heirs of the Taoist patriarch Zhang Ling.
Zhang Ling, that is, the huge stone statue in the center of the hall of the Dragon and Tiger Taoist Temple, is the so-called Heavenly Master Dao Zhang Tianshi in the world.
There is also a kind of people who are peripheral disciples, some of these people worship the mountain gate because they dislike Hongchen, and some because they have dreams.
Don't look at the difference between direct disciples and peripheral disciples, but in fact, the distance between them is thousands of miles apart.
Unlike many northern sects, Longhu Mountain has passed down their lineage from one generation to the next.
Therefore, only a disciple surnamed Zhang can learn a truly powerful spell, and only a disciple surnamed Zhang can master the core of the sect of Longhu Mountain.
And the heads and elders of the dragon and tiger in the past dynasties, in short, some important positions, all of them are disciples surnamed Zhang.
Although those peripheral disciples could also cultivate the Dao, they could only give a beating to Longhu Mountain in the end, and held some positions with unimportant status.
Not only that, the outer disciples could only cultivate simple Dao techniques and Dao methods, and there were many secret techniques and forbidden techniques, and they couldn't die at all.
Even some of the sealing spirit veins of Dragon Tiger Mountain, the outer disciples didn't even have the right to know, let alone enter the inside to cultivate.
Above, this is the most obvious difference between direct disciples and peripheral disciples.
Now Zhang Tianxi is directly under the surname Zhang, which shows that he is also the heir of Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain, and he can even have benefits such as inheriting the head and elders.
Now that he has talked about how Zhang Tianxi left the Longhu Mountain Gate sixty years ago, there is no need for him to hide it from a few disciples and grandchildren.
Zhang Tianxi smiled bitterly: "Actually, the reason why I left the mountain gate back then was very simple, except for the matter of seeds, the most important thing was that the mountain gate did not pass on the position of head to me. ”
Zhang Shouqing and his two apprentices were stunned when they heard this, but they heard Zhang Tianxi again: "Because I am a genius cultivator who has met in hundreds of years in Longhu Mountain, and I was young and vigorous back then, I thought that I must be the first person to be the head of the sect that year." ”
