20. Taiyimen

Taiyimen is a sect that integrates the four veins of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism and martial arts.

This sect was founded by a strong man with the Dao name "Taiyi True Monarch", and it has been inherited for tens of thousands of years, which is longer than the individual sects in the fifteen sects of Tianyuan.

Throughout the history of the development of Taiyimen, it is not difficult to see that this sect has an inclusive surname and open-mindedness.

At the beginning, the Taiyi sect was just a small sect.

In fact, in that era, the sects could not be so big at the beginning, because there were ten major dynasties pressing them. At first, these sects were just small organizations united by some scattered cultivators, and as many of these small organizations discovered some secret realms and obtained inheritance from them, the concept of sects began to gradually take shape.

Because compared to the price that needs to be paid to learn the exercises in the major dynasties, it is far greater than joining a sect, and as more and more people join the sect, these sects finally have the strength to compete with the ten major dynasties.

And the Taiyi Sect was one of these small sects from the beginning.

At the beginning, this sect even had only one book that recorded a few techniques, and in the entire sect, except for Taiyi Zhenjun, there were only two other cultivators whose strength had barely reached the third realm of immortality. However, their luck was really good, because they discovered several small secret realms one after another, and gained a lot of exercises from them, including the Dao vein, the Buddha vein and the martial vein, and these three people also had a clear division of labor to cultivate their own veins.

It is precisely because of this premise that when the Taiyi Sect really formed a scale, this sect already had a three-vein system.

It wasn't until later that the disciples of the Sheji School Palace appeared, and the Taiyi Sect added the Confucian vein system.

But such a sect with an extremely long history is in a rather awkward position.

Purely in terms of the degree of history, among the many sects of the Tianyuan Fifteen Sects, only the Tianyuan Huang Family, Kunlun, and the Heavenly Sword Sect can be compared with them. However, when it comes to the strength of the sect and the strength of the sect, there are at least six sects that can stabilize the Taiyi sect.

Even if the Taiyi Sect is in the fifteen sects of Tianyuan, it claims to have the largest area, the most complete coverage, the most detailed records, and the largest collection of books.

It is also impossible to change the embarrassing position of this sect in the Tianyuan Fifteen Sects, "not one of the strongest sects".

...... The Western Desert is located in the west of the Tian Yuan Continent.

Like the 100,000 mountains of Beiling, the most distinctive regional feature here in the West Desert is a desert. It's just that unlike the 100,000 Mountains, the 100,000 Mountains only occupy two-thirds of the entire territory of the North Ridge, but the Western Desert completely covers the entire area - as long as you go to the west, the moment you set foot on the desert, it means that you have entered the Western Desert.

People are accustomed to calling this desert "Great Desert", and because it is located due west, it is also called "Western Desert".

The Qianyuan Dynasty, one of the ten major dynasties, is located in this western desert.

It occupies the largest territory, the largest source of water - in this region of the Western Desert, water is everything. All cities are built around water sources, and if there is no water source, no one can live here, so protecting water sources and fighting for water sources has become the common and only survival goal of the entire Western Desert inhabitants.

It is precisely because of this goal of survival that the inhabitants of the Western Desert are the most courageous.

In addition to the Qianyuan Dynasty, there are also Xuanwu Palace and Taiyi Sect, two major sects that belong to the fifteenth sect of Tianyuan in the Western Desert.

The phrase "Four Extremes, Five Sects, and Six Famous Sects" refers to the fifteen sects of Tianyuan.

The so-called four poles refer to the East Plains, the West Desert, the South Wilderness, and the North Ridge. And because Linglong Pavilion, Taiyimen, Jingshizong, and Tianyuan Huang Family, the four sects that do not belong to the righteous path of the famous sect and the evil demon sect, happen to be everywhere, so these four sects are also called the four forces, so the "four poles" in this ancient ballad refer to these four sects.

In fact, in addition to the Xuanwu Palace and the Taiyi Gate, in the disintegrating Huangquan Gate, the forces belonging to the Second Elder were also active in this Western Desert.

Since the collapse of the Huangquan Sect, the three elders have each led a vein active in this Tianyuan Continent, although they claim to be disciples of the Huangquan Sect, but they are not harmonious with each other. For example, the first line of the Great Elder is active in the 100,000 mountains of the North Ridge, the first line of the Second Elder is in this Western Desert, and the first line of the Third Elder is much more low-key, taking his men and horses to seek development on overseas islands.

At this moment, in the east of the Western Desert, a young man of about twenty years old was walking towards a towering red mountain peak not far away.

In the boy's arms, he also held a snow-white fox, but its turquoise eyes looked very aura.

Although it was noon at the moment, walking on this desert was extremely physically demanding, but the young man's footsteps still stepped forward firmly without the slightest hesitation. The fox in his arms, however, seemed to be a little unbearable, and was constantly burrowing into the boy's clothes, as if in this way, he could escape the heat.

This young man is naturally Lu Li.

And the fox in his arms was undoubtedly a tamamoe dyed with moonlight grass.

Even though Xie Simin's flying sword speed was faster than Ziyan's, it still took two or three months to rush all the way from Beiling to the West Desert. Moreover, Xie Simin didn't dare to go too deep into the Western Desert, after all, this was the territory of Xuanwu Palace. It's not that she's afraid of the people of Xuanwu Palace, unless those elders come out, no one can win Xie Simin at all, it's just that if there is a battle here, it will be unfavorable for Lu Lizi.

So Xie Simin just cautiously sent Lu Li to a small town closer to Taiyimen, and she left with Ziyan.

The rest of the road can only be completed by Lu Li himself.

Here in the Western Desert, it is by no means safer than anywhere else. Because the folk customs here are extremely strong, whether they are people from the Qianyuan Dynasty or people from other small dynasties and small sects, they all have a fierce surname in their bones. In the face of Lu Li, a strange visitor from other places, there are naturally many people who are beating his idea along the way, but those unlucky people who misestimate the difference in strength between each other can only sleep in this desert in the end.

After walking for more than a month, Lu Li finally came to the sect of the Taiyi Sect.

This red mountain is the outer gate of Taiyimen.

The inner gate of Taiyimen is located in a secret realm, but outsiders don't know where this secret realm is.

The whole mountain is a red color, not earthy yellow like ordinary mountains. The mountain has three peaks, no sand and no vegetation, only hard red rock layers. The main peak of the mountain is about 3,700 meters high, the east and north sides of the mountain each have a side peak that is much lower than the main peak, the height is not more than 2,000 meters, the mountain road of the whole mountain is rugged, the terrain is quite steep, it is not easy for ordinary people to want to go up the mountain.

However, for Lu Li, it is not difficult to climb this mountain.

The real difficulty was that he couldn't find his way into the mountains.

About a mile away from the red mountain, there was a transparent barrier filled with a faint sense of majesty that blocked Lu Li's continued progress.

Lu Li knew very well that the obstruction of this barrier was formed by the mountain protection array of this outer gate. If he wanted to force his way in, it would only cause an attack from the formation, and the majestic aura on this barrier was enough to make ordinary people dare not approach, so they chose to retreat from a distance.

Looking at this barrier, Lu Li raised his head and looked at the main peak of this red mountain.

After a while, Lu Li suddenly shouted loudly: "Scattered Lu Li, come to Taiyi to apprentice!"

Sanren refers to people who do not have any sect or family background, but are lucky enough to pick a certain book to practice the exercises. The biggest difference between them and casual cultivation is that they don't intend to join any sect or force, they just cultivate alone, collect materials alone, and rely on themselves to solve all the cultivation matters, and no one can help them.

The Sanren are different, after they have cultivated a little fur, they will choose to go to some sects to apprentice.

Of course, there are also rules for apprenticeship.

That is the practice that they have initiated, and it must be handed over to the sect of the apprentice.

Lu Li came this time, naturally he was well prepared. He asked Xie Simin for a book of exercises that were okay, but of course the second half was torn off, so this exercise book looked like it was just a fragment. And in order to make this fragment look older, Xie Simin didn't use his brains, and even the name page of the exercise was torn off, and no one could know what this exercise was.

The moment anyone saw this exercise, and then connected that Lu Li could actually cultivate to the first realm of immortality, they would only feel that it was a miracle, and there would be no other doubts.

After waiting for a while, there was still no response, and Lu Li had to open his mouth and shout again: "Scattered Lu Li, come to Taiyi Sect to apprentice!"

This time, Lu Li's voice was as loud as thunder.

Rolling on.

"The little doll is very angry. ”

After a while, a voice from the red mountain finally responded: "The old man can't sleep peacefully if he wants to." ”

"I'm sorry to disturb the rest of the seniors. Lu Li said with some sincerity, "The younger generation heard that the Taiyi Sect in the Western Desert has the largest Tibetan Scripture Pavilion and is the oldest and oldest sect, so they came here, hoping to worship under the Taiyi Sect." ”

"Oh?" the owner of the voice seemed curious, "you...... Come in and speak. ”

Almost as soon as this voice fell, Lu Li felt that the barrier in front of him seemed to be divided into a gap that was as tall as a person, enough for Lu Li to pass through.

He didn't hesitate, and stepped over the barrier.

Almost as soon as Lu Li stepped into here, he saw that on the ground that was originally empty before, there was a white-haired old man wearing a purple-blue robe, a black belt around his waist, and a gauze crown on his head, looking fairy and energetic. His most striking thing is that his eyebrows are thin, as slender as a woman's thrush, but they are pale golden, and his chin is a goatee.

At this moment, the old man was looking Lu Li up and down with an appreciative look of goods, and said with a smile in his mouth: "Not bad, not bad...... The qualifications are very good. ”

Lu Li naturally knew that his qualifications were very good, which was why he dared to come to Taiyi to apprentice without any scruples. In fact, according to what Xia Longyin said, unless someone who has some understanding of the body of this holy tripod, he can't see what his qualifications are biased at all, except for the people of the Confucian vein, the other people of the three veins will only have an idea that is very suitable for cultivation when they see Lu Li's qualifications.

"Senior, I'm here to apprentice. Lu Li reminded again.

"Apprentice? The old man was very satisfied, "Now that you have stepped into this first realm of immortality, it is not a problem to recruit you into the inner gate...... Little doll, are you interested in learning Taoism with me?"

"Dao Technique!" Lu Li's eyes suddenly lit up.

But before he could answer, a gloomy sneer suddenly sounded: "Old man Gao, people came to my Taiyi Sect to apprentice, not the apprentice you found outside." It stands to reason that he will live in all four of our veins for a while before choosing the exercises to be studied. ...... You're breaking the rules by doing that. ”
