After a period of dizziness, Shi An opened his eyes, although it was still dark in front of him, it was still so dark that it was difficult to distinguish the direction, but he felt that it was very different from the top of Jisi Mountain.

Streams of strong and fresh "air" rushed straight into every pore of the body, Shi An only felt indescribable comfort, this "air" spontaneously surged into the body along the pores, and then diverged out after a short walk, one in and one out, he felt the coolness of the whole body from the inside out.

"Feel it, this is Reiki. In the secular world, the air is inhaled through the nose and mouth, and the nose is used to distinguish the taste, warmth and coldness of the air. In the world of cultivating immortals, there is no need to use the mouth and nose, and the end of the spiritual root of the whole body, which is what mortals call pores, can make the spiritual energy naturally enter and exit the body without deliberately absorbing it. The most comfortable aura for you is the aura of your spiritual root attribute. The water aura here is still insufficient, and when you go to the place where the water aura is strong, you will have a more obvious feeling. You haven't started cultivating yet, your body is just a channel, and you can't reach the sea of qi, so you don't have the ability to accumulate spiritual power. When I return to the mountain gate, meet your sect master and ancestor, and perform the entrance ceremony, I will pass on your cultivation method, and then you will really start cultivating. Yuan Miaozi said.

The two of them continued to fly in the direction of due north for more than a thousand miles, and at this time, the sky was getting brighter, and various scenes could be seen on the road. The mountains are blue, and the eyes are full of lushness, not like the mundane world of the first month. The trees are also very peculiar, there are no poplars, willows, pines, and acacia that are common in Jinju, and the eyes are full of sycamores, ginkgo, metasequoia, poplars, etc., and they are full of flowers and plants that cannot be named, and they are also delicate and full of vitality.

Yuan Miaozi saw that Shi An's eyes were full of surprise, so he laughed and said: "The season of this immortal cultivation world is very different from the secular world, but here there is only day and night, and there is no difference between the four seasons. When you get to the sect, I will find someone to tell you about the new things. ”

A majestic mountain unfolded in front of them, and the two lowered their flying swords. Yuan Miaozi said: "This is where the gate of the Four Elephants View Mountain is located, and as soon as you enter this gate, you will never leave the mortal world." ”

Guarding the door were two young disciples, who were not dressed as Taoist priests, but only wore short dark blue clothes, each carrying a long sword, and when they saw Yuan Miaozi, they bowed to the ground and said in unison: "Meet Elder Yuan Miao." ”

Yuan Miaozi waved his hand slightly, and said, "Ma Lin and Zhou Chang, you two are on duty today, and the sect master's senior brother is here?"

The disciple who called Ma Lin hurriedly replied: "The sect master and ancestor are asking questions in front of the hall. ”

"Okay, you wait for the whole word, and say that I'm back, I'll go and settle down this little junior brother of yours first, and then go to meet you. Yuan Miaozi said and led Shi An into the mountain gate.

When the two disciples saw Shi An in a Taoist robe following behind Yuan Miaozi, they didn't feel a little strange, they glanced at each other, and after Yuan Miaozi and the two walked away, they talked in a low voice: "Why did Elder Yuan Miao bring back another disciple, this time he is still an inner disciple." ”

"Why do you say 'again'?"

"You didn't know very much when you first arrived. In fact, Master Yuan Miao is a warm-hearted person, and he always has to take care of some things on the road, and almost every time he comes back, he brings in a disciple, but it is the first time that he brings back an inner disciple. ”

"I think I can bring back the inner disciple, it's not that person's spiritual root is surprisingly good, it must be his old man's relative. ”

"It must be so, but I think the latter is the majority, and that person looks like he doesn't have any cultivation foundation, and his steps are still so heavy. That's right, it must be his relatives. It's better to take care of such idle things, I'll go and tell the sect master first. After speaking, Zhou Chang left quickly.

There are four mountains in the Four Elephant Temple, the main peak of which is the place where the sect master cultivates, and the aura is the most prosperous, and the rightmost peak is the place where Yuan Miaozi cultivates.

At this moment, Yuan Miaozi was taking Shi An to the mountain. The two slowly walked up the stairs, and Yuan Miaozi kept telling Shi An about some of the regulations in the Four Elephants. Shi An heard too many differences between this immortal cultivation world and the secular world, and he didn't feel it.

These four phenomena belong to a first-class sect in Zhaoguo, and they have been established for a short time. According to the records of the sect, 3,600 years ago, Qing Meizi, the founder of the mountain who cultivated in the middle of the Yuan Dynasty, saw that this place was full of spiritual energy, the land was vast and sparsely populated, and there were no fierce spirits and evil beasts, so he opened a sect here to recruit disciples with better spiritual root qualifications. At first, there were four disciples of the double spiritual root, and there were four mountains, so it was named "Four Elephant Views". The sect set up four characters as the first word in the Taoist name of the inner disciples, which are "Qing, Yuan, Yun, and Zheng". The Qing character generation is the Yuan infant stage monk, the Yuan character generation is the Yudan stage monk, the Yun character generation is the foundation building period monk, and the orthographic generation is the Qi refining period monk, which changes in turn with the cultivation of the promotion. The second character of the Tao name of the four disciples of the first generation of Shuanglinggen adopts the four characters of "negative, yin, hugging, yang" in the forty-second chapter of the Tao Te Ching, "All things are negative yin and embrace yang, and the impulse is harmonious". Therefore, at first, the Tao number was "positive and negative, positive yin, positive hug, positive yang". In the future, except for the elders of the Yuan Zi generation, who are always looking for better qualifications, the inner disciples will be enriched by the "Recruiting Virtuous Disciples Conference" held every fifty years, and last year happened to be the year of the seventy-first conference.

Yuan Miaozi's generation is the sixty-sixth generation of disciples, at that time, in the fifteenth chapter of the "Tao Te Ching" "ancient goodness for the Taoist, subtle Xuantong, deep and unknowable" in the "ancient, good, for, Tao, micro, wonderful, mysterious, through, deep, can, knowledge" eleven characters for this batch of eleven inner disciples, but later the disciples or fell halfway, or cultivated to a low life, so far only "ancient, Tao, wonderful, Tong" four people remained.

The current sect master is the fourth person of this generation of disciples, Yuan Tongzi, who has successfully cultivated in the Dan period, has a life span of 267 years, and is preparing to cultivate to the peak state to meet the impact of the heavenly thunder tribulation Yuan Infant Period. The other monks in the Yudan period were called elders, and there were four people in the sect. The three of them are Yuan Tongzi's younger brothers, Yuan Gu, Yuan Dao and Yuan Miao, and they all practice in the Four Elephants. Yuan Tongzi was originally a late disciple of the same generation of monks, and he got a "Tong" word according to the order at that time, but he was the first to enter the Yudan period, so he became the first person of the Yuan generation, and all the senior brothers at the beginning became junior disciples. In addition to these three elders, there is also a registered elder Feng Kun, who was originally a casual cultivator here, not from a Taoist background, and was hired by Yuan Tongzi as a registered elder, living in seclusion in Yangji City in front of the sect, mainly responsible for the affairs of the sect and several big families within the boundaries of the territory, and also expressed his position when the sect made important decisions.

Like most sects, the disciples of the Four Elephants are divided into inner disciples and outer disciples. The inner disciples are all well-qualified Twin Spirit Root disciples, and except for individual arrangements for specific positions within the sect, the rest of the personnel are mainly cultivated, acting as the main armed force of the sect in times of crisis. However, since the opening of the sect, the world has been stable for more than 3,600 years, and it has not come in handy, and even the current four Yuan generations of the Jiedan monks have not really been on the battlefield.

These disciples have their own Tao numbers according to their cultivation, but because of the large number, it is inconvenient for the second word in the Tao Te Ching to use the words and phrases in the Tao Te Ching, and they all choose it themselves when they get started. There are sixty-three disciples in the foundation building period of the Yunzi generation, and more than 800 disciples in the qi refining period of the Zhengzi generation. The inner disciples were all dressed in Taoist clothes, and their cultivation resources were mainly tilted towards them.

The outer disciples are disciples with weak spiritual root qualifications, and most of them use their own names, of course, they must avoid the words "Qing, Yuan, Yun, and Zheng" to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. They have specific jobs, such as cleaning and sanitation, planting grain, raising livestock, washing and cooking, guarding the door and keeping vigil, which are relatively low-level jobs in the secular world, and some slightly high-end jobs such as cultivating spiritual grass and mining spiritual stones, all of which are above the third layer of the Qi refining period, and there are more than 3,400 people, all wearing dark blue short clothes, all of whom are recruited at any time on weekdays. There are also four outer disciples in the foundation building period, because their qualifications are not very good and they are too old, and they have no hope of becoming knots, so they are not turned into inner disciples, but are only arranged to do some management work, responsible for the daily affairs of the sect, and are dressed in blue short clothes. The cultivation time of all the outer disciples is relatively small, and of course, the cultivation resources allocated to them are pitiful.

After a while, the two walked to Yuan Miaoko's cave mansion.

"Zhang Quan," Yuan Miaozi called an outer disciple who was about forty years old, "This is a new junior disciple, now called Shi An, I will take him to the sect master for the entrance ceremony in a while, and when you come back, you will take him around the door first, learn about the places, and then come back to see me." ”

Zhang Quan saw that Shi An was dressed as an inner disciple, so he didn't dare to slack off, and nodded yes.

Zhou Chang walked into the cave house quickly, clasping his fists with both hands: "Elder Yuan Miao, the sect master and ancestor are invited." ”

Yuan Miaozi took Shi An to get up and leave the cave mansion and go to the main peak, not forgetting to say: "Zhang Quan, the main peak will pick up Shi An after half an hour." ”

The main hall of the main peak is the place where the suzerain deals with government affairs, the furnishings in the hall are relatively simple, a six-foot portrait is hung in the center of the wall opposite the door, painting a Taoist with a long beard of five locks, wearing a robe, wearing a crown of five mountains, wearing white cloth high socks and multi-eared hemp shoes, playing the three mountains in the left hand, whisking dust in the right hand, the fairy wind and bones are not angry and self-righteous. There is a table of eight immortals under the scroll, and there are two Taishi chairs on both sides. A vase is placed on the left side of the table of the Eight Immortals to indicate peace, a fruit bowl is placed on the right, and a lucky orange is placed in it to indicate good fortune, and a jade Ruyi is placed in the middle, which means that everything goes well.

At this time, it was the sect master Yuan Tongzi sitting on the Taishi chair on the left, and when he saw Shi An in Taoist clothes behind Yuan Miaozi, he was stunned at first, and then immediately got up and said to Yuan Miaozi: "Senior Brother Yuan Miao, you have worked hard this time, I don't know what the situation is?"
