Shenyin Mountain is not a lonely peak, but an endless mountain range, how big is Qingping Temple, no one knows if you don't really go into the depths.

After saying goodbye to Zhang Daochang, the bamboo forest pavilion couldn't enter again, so Ye Feng walked around in the Qingping Temple.

Surrounded by green hills, green trees, gurgling streams, and excellent air, it is an excellent paradise and an excellent place to practice. Standing here, you can feel the peace of mind that you have not felt for a long time.

Ye Feng walked through the bamboo forest, went up along the river, and walked into the depths of the bamboo forest, and his vision became extraordinarily spacious and bright.

The river is getting wider and wider, the river is getting slower and slower, Ye Feng walked along the river bank, and suddenly saw a bamboo raft boat slowly moving on the water.

The person at the head of the boat was dressed in plain clothes, and the breeze was blowing, and the clothes were fluttering.

From a distance, I don't know between men and women, I don't know young and old.

The strange thing is that there is no one on the boat to support the boat, and the boat actually goes up the current and moves forward automatically.

"It's not scientific......"

Ye Feng couldn't help but speed up his pace, and walked quickly along the riverbank, as the distance continued to close, he could vaguely see that the person standing at the head of the boat was a woman, with a beautiful and elegant appearance, and a beautiful complexion, about seventeen or eight years old.

With a plain dress, it looks quiet and elegant, noble and dignified, like a budding hibiscus out of the water, and it is not clean. The beauty of heaven and earth is like this, she does not eat the fireworks of the world, as if she is in a fog in the smoke.

While thinking about it, a thick morning mist suddenly appeared on the water.

In the faint shadows, the light boat carrying the girl has floated to the opposite shore like a swallow.

When Ye Feng came back to his senses, he found that he was in the mountains and forests, and when he looked back, he couldn't see the way back.

Looking ahead, there seems to be a mountain path that leads to the attic on the cliff wall, so simply go there to have a look.

There is a cloister against the cliff, and at the end of the cloister is the attic, where you can look out at the gate of Mt. Kamikushi and the outline of the distant mountain.

In the attic, the two old men sit opposite each other, there is a chessboard on the long table, on which there are scattered black and white chess pieces, on both sides of the chessboard, there is a set of tea sets, the teacup made of bamboo floats a touch of green, and the fragrance of tea is accompanied by the fragrance of bamboo, fluttering.

The person holding the black chess piece is Zhang Daochang, he still looks sloppy, with patches on his shabby robe, and his whole skin is dark, and he looks very sloppy.

Sitting across from him was also a Taoist priest, who looked about his age, dressed in a very different way. Dressed in a white robe, he was spotless, with a Dao bun on his head, floating dust in his hand, and a sword behind him. The complexion is ruddy and the demeanor is elegant.

His Taoist name is Qingling, he is a Taoist priest of the Danding faction, and in terms of seniority, he is the senior brother of Zhang Daochang.

"Senior brother has traveled around, and it has been many years since he sat together to drink tea and play a game like this."

Zhang Daochang said, taking advantage of the Qing Ling Dao Chief's inattention, he stole a chess piece.

"The junior brother is hidden in the market, exorcising ghosts and subduing demons, and has infinite merit."

Qingling Daoist shook off the dust lightly, and took advantage of Zhang Daochang's tea to play two chess pieces in one hand.

Zhang Daochang smiled and said: "Five hundred years ago, under the leadership of the Daoist Sect Xiaoyaozi, the Daomen united the countries and drove the demon clan back to the land of nothingness, avoiding a disaster. ”

Zhang Daochang said and said, ready to steal again.

This time, Zhang Daochang's behavior was discovered by Qingling Daochang, and the floating dust was shaken off, entangled Zhang Daochang's chess-holding fingers.

Obviously, this is not the first time that Daochang Zhang has done this, his face is not red, his heart is not beating, his face does not change, and he continues to talk eloquently: "Since then, Xiaoyaozi has led the disciples of the Daomen to return to Shenyin Mountain, concentrate on cultivation, and ignore the affairs of the world. ”

Qingling Daoist nodded, took back the floating dust, and at the same time played two more chess pieces: "Daomen takes demon subjugation as its own responsibility, which is different from martial arts to enter the court as an official, and it is even different from Jun Qianli's religion to govern the country, and never interferes with the choice of the world. It was also during that time that the Daomen were divided into two factions. ”

Zhang Daochang nodded and said: "The Danding faction believes that once in life, the grass and trees are in autumn, and you should concentrate on cultivation. The Fu Zheng sect believes that Taoists should take the world as their own responsibility and help the world and save people. ”

Qingling Daoist smiled: "Dao, there is no clear concept, for thousands of years, countless Dao disciples have been enlightening and discussing the Dao, but they just have their own opinions. ”

Zhang Daochang continued: "Yes, everything in the world has different understandings, and there is no need to make the other party agree with your own opinion. is like Zhuang Zhou's dream of butterflies, I don't know if Zhuang Zhou dreamed of becoming a butterfly, or if the butterfly dreamed of becoming Zhuang Zhou. ”

"Although there are two factions under the door, they are both Taoist sects, and when Xiaoyaozi feathered and ascended to immortals, in order to prevent the endless fighting between the two factions, they finally split. He once made a rule that a Taoist discussion would be held every 500 years, and the winner would become a Taoist sect and take charge of the Taoist sect. Qingling Dao said quietly.

"Today's Taoist Sect is Master Xiaomengzi. Everything is the same as before, and it has not changed. ”

"That's fine, for example, although there is unity today, but the people's hearts are unpredictable, the rise and fall of the dynasty, everything will go naturally." Qingling Dao Chang slowly raised his head and looked at Dao Chang Zhang opposite, his eyes full of deep meaning.

This is the fundamental reason why the two are playing against each other here.

Zhang Daochang also slowly raised his head and looked at the other party's gaze: "Five hundred years, the demon clan has left the void land again. Lingyuan also came into the world at this time, perhaps, this is the guidance of the Heavenly Dao. ”

The Qingling Daoist slowly turned his head and looked out of the corridor.

In the end, he locked his gaze on Ye Feng, who was climbing the mountain: "This is why you brought him back to Shenyin Mountain?" ”

"As Senior Brother said, Daomen takes it as its mission to subdue demons. Now that the demon clan has invaded Yangning Kingdom, Lao asked Senior Brother to lead the disciples of the Danding faction to return to Shenyin Mountain, and we will discuss the matter of subduing the demons. Zhang Daochang arched his hand.

Qingling Dao Master's gaze was always on Ye Feng, and he didn't look back: "This time is different from five hundred years ago, the demon clan no longer has the ability to easily devour the fortunes of other countries. Moreover, the demon clan used the method of symbiosis this time to carry out secret infiltration. ”

Zhang Daochang was stunned for a moment, it seems that although the Qingling Daoist has been traveling outside all the year round, he knows everything about the world, and it seems that he has been silently paying attention to the movements of the demon clan.

Qingling Dao Master finally turned his head and said: "Symbiosis is the choice of the world, they have betrayed their humanity in exchange for the improvement of their lifespan and force, and have become puppets of the demon clan. ”

"If this continues, within a hundred years, the Yangning Kingdom will be completely infiltrated by the demon clan, and at that time, the demon clan will devour the national fortune, and the Yangning country will be reduced to nothingness." Zhang Daochang paused, and his expression was solemn: "At that time, the demon clan will come out in all directions, and the world will be ruined." ”

Listening to Daoist Zhang's words, Daoist Qingling's expression did not change at all, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

But his eyes became complicated.

After being silent for a long time, the Qingling Dao Master asked, "What does the Dao Sect say?" ”

"I'm about to take Ye Feng to meet the Dao Sect."
