Chapter 41: One of the Two?
The fog blocking Jiang Sibai's eyes suddenly disappeared in an instant, and his eyes suddenly opened up.
I saw four beautiful mountain peaks rising from the ground, and the vast sea of clouds surging around the mountains.
Sunlight shines through the sea of clouds, casting a large patch of bright light on the ground.
Between the peaks are valleys, which are intertwined with the irregular movements of the peaks, forming thirteen wide valleys.
On the four peaks is the ethereal place of the immortals, and you can vaguely see the pavilions and pavilions hanging in the air, like a fairyland in the clouds.
In those valleys, some of them are full of smoke, some are horizontal, some are shrouded, and some are covered by clouds.
At this time, Jiang Sibai's feet were empty, but fortunately, he reacted quickly and jumped back without losing his footing.
He looked at his feet with some trepidation, only to find himself standing on the edge of a steep cliff, in front of him a rugged mountain road that stretched downward.
Just now, I almost stumbled into the valley below......
"Stupid apprentice, just now the old Taoist priest reminded you to pay attention to your step, right?"
The big white fox sneered.
Jiang Sibai and Mo Shangdao were embarrassed at the same time.
In the end, I happily decided not to think about it.
Mo Shangdao changed the topic to: "This valley in front of you is the first valley of the four peaks and thirteen valleys, the 'Void Valley', which is not under the jurisdiction of any mountain, but is a place for those who seek immortal fate to live. â
"Teach benevolence and benevolence, and wish to give those mortals who seek the Tao a ray of life, is to pass down the "Shouzhong Guyuan Law" in this 'Void Valley', if someone can keep their bodies and calm their minds, there will naturally be guides in the mountains to take them to the entrance."
Jiang Sibai saw from a distance that there was still an old man in this valley, and he couldn't help asking, "Is it okay no matter what age it is?" â
Mo Shangdao said: "But from the heart of the Tao, why care about age? â
"If they are greedy for immortality or just thirsty for power, they will not stay long in the valley."
"Those who truly seek the magnificence of the Word, those who seek the truth of the world, or those who are strong-willed, will naturally remain."
Jiang Sibai nodded.
What he thought of in his heart was that the Ji royal family had to pass on the "Shouzhong Guyuan Law", and the same thing eventually became famous by himself, and the others, even if they were his father who was the most persistent in the immortal way, finally lost in front of his own mortal desires.
Mo Shangdao said: "You see, the majestic peak in the middle of this eye is the 'Yuan Dao Peak', the first of the four peaks, and the 'Chengdao Palace' on it is the essence of Luoyun Wonderland. â
"The elders of the four mountains are stationed, and the inheritance of the entire Luoyun Immortal Realm's peaks and valleys is also backed up here."
"And what we are going to is the 'Chuyuan Palace' in front of this Chengdao Palace, where we will give you a registration list, and from now on, even if you are an official disciple of Luoyun Immortal Realm, you will also be a disciple of my Shennong Valley."
Mo Shangdao smiled slightly, and took a step forward, and he had already appeared in a very far place.
Jiang Sibai was startled when he saw this, he hurriedly sensed the ground qi under his feet, but found that his perception was still disordered.
"This old Taoist priest is here again!"
"Apprentice, what are you still doing in a daze, let's chase it quickly!"
The big white fox was already running on all fours.
Jiang Sibai was very helpless when he saw this, but he was carrying a sword box on his back, holding a sixty-liter barrel in his right hand and a baby in his left hand.
What could be done?
Who made him an apprentice?
So he walked on the ridge like a fly, running and moving all the way, and his body was like a child who grew up in this mountain.
And in the eyes of those who fell on the void valley with such physical strength, they couldn't help but show a look of envy.
In their eyes, this should also be a beginner's disciple, right?
Jiang Sibai didn't even have time to enjoy the scenery in the mountains now, and was led by the Mo Shangdao people all the way to the foot of the Yuan Dao Peak.
There is a pavilion at the foot of Yuandao Peak for people to take a rest, but there is no other guest.
They went up the mountain road, and the road was full of foliage, but there was no other scene to see except the mountain road in front of them.
However, even if it is just the beauty of the mountains, it is beautiful enough.
Luoyun Wonderland has greatly shocked Jiang Sibai, it is spectacular and beautiful from a distance, and in the middle of it, you can see the beauty of the mountains, which makes people want to spend a lifetime to explore its benefits.
Not long after ascending the mountain, everyone saw a palace on a gentle slope.
The plaque on it reads 'Chuyuan Palace'!
Jiang Sibai was a little regretful, it seemed that he couldn't see the whole picture of Yuan Dao Peak for the time being.
The hall of the first yuan is also very wonderful, looking inside from the door, it seems to be an archive room filled with rows of cabinets.
These cabinets are naturally taken care of and guarded, but Jiang Sibai can't get close to watch.
They just stood in the doorway and faced an old man's inquiry.
"It's Mo Shang, you're finally going to accept apprentices? I thought you were going to die quietly like those old brothers. â
Mo Shangdao looked at the old man and said, "Senior Brother Xuanzhi (zĂ n), I thought it was long overdue to change people here. â
That Xuan Chizi seems to be an existence that is older than Mo Shangdao?
Xuan Qizi said lightly: "It's almost over, it's only a matter of one or two years." â
He seems to have a very indifferent view of his own life and death, and this indifference has a real atmosphere of dust, which makes people awe-inspiring.
"You brought two children back in one go? That's a bit of a problem. â
Xuan Qizi continued in a flat tone.
Mo Shangdao said solemnly: "Trouble Senior Brother Xuanqizi, my apprentice's name is Jiang Sibai, and he can be my true biography." â
"As for this girl, I named her Qiushuang, but you can raise it with me first, and then participate in the entry selection when the age is right."
Jiang Sibai suddenly felt that something was wrong when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "Master, can't you take us under the door at the same time?" â
Xuan Qizi glanced at Jiang Sibai lightly and said, "This is the rule, each elder can only directly designate a lineage once, and the rest must be selected among the incoming disciples or beginner disciples." â
"Don't feel that this rule is unkind, this is to prevent some unworthy nepotism, and it is also considered to be for the well-being of the disciples and beginner disciples in the immortal realm."
"Let them also have the hope of becoming heirs."
Jiang Sibai didn't distinguish anything when he heard it, but simply said neatly: "Master, you still take Qiu Niang back directly, and let me pass the entry selection, I'm sure." â
Mo Shangdao shook his head and said, "You have passed my selection, since I promised you back then, I will not let you go through any more entry selections." â
"What's more, Qiu Niang is still so young, I don't think I want to be a farming girl."
"We shouldn't have decided her future so early."
The Autumn Frost Fairy seemed to hear someone mention her, turned her head suspiciously, and looked at the suspicious voice with her big watery eyes: "Grandpa? â
The milky appearance suddenly softened the original hardened heart of the Mo Shangdao.
He is also unwilling to part with Qiu Niang, but if he really chooses to do so, it is actually irresponsible to Qiu Niang and Jiang Sibai.
Seeing this, Xuan Qizi smiled helplessly and said: "The old man who buried my foot in the soil can't see this kind of thing the most...... Moshang, you made me think about finding a successor. â
"It's a pity that I only have such a year or two, and I don't have time to raise a granddaughter directly like you."
"Well, I've got the best of both worlds here."
"You can recognize this little girl as your goddaughter, and take her with you as a caregiver, so that she can be under your care no matter what happens in the future."
"As for this very energetic young man, it is better to go to the Void Valley to try his way, I think since he has met your requirements, it will not hurt to come again."
"And once you pass the test, you will be able to legitimately accept him as a true biography, which will only make people feel his good fortune and not cause him some unnecessary jealousy."
"Senior brother, you should know that those who are directly brought back to the mountain gate to become true disciples are very likely to be unscrupulous in this kind of envy around them."
Mo Shangdao couldn't help but ponder, because what Xuan Qizi said was extremely reasonable.
He is also very concerned about Jiang Sibai, compared to going through some more tests now, it is better to avoid the troubles that will be encountered in the future.
