Chapter 22: Competing for Favor (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
(Whew, four chapters are over, work hard to code the word, ask for a monthly pass)
......
Early the next morning.
The dark blue sky is as clear as washing, the golden light pierces the sky, radiating the entire Tianlei Mountain Range, the rolling mountains are inlaid in the sky, and the wisps of colorful aura surround the mountainside, under the illumination of the sun, reflecting the sparkling fluorescence, like a fairyland in a dream.
Break through the swirling aura, a stone staircase path that climbs up. There are 99,999 steps in total, and on both sides are guardrails made of white jade blocks, which lead to a pavilion with high floors.
The blue quadrangular cornices of the building are carved with talisman inscriptions, scattering wisps of gold, the sun shines on the roof, and the cascading glazed tiles look brilliant. Surrounded by several large red pillars nearly ten zhang high, supporting the surrounding corridors.
Looking up at the whole building, it makes people look like ants.
Through the thin clouds, on the white jade steps, two people and a turtle slowly crawled with heavy steps.
"What a Heavenly Thunder Dao Ancestral Hall, it's really high. ”
Chen Mo stopped on the stone steps of more than 5,000 steps, looked up at the building above, and couldn't help but sigh.
Boss, let's fly. Xiao Bafu crawled at Chen Mo's feet, panting, his tongue drooping on one side, unable to walk.
"You little turtle, why do you keep dragging your feet, come on, son. Feng Feiyan grabbed Xiaoba's head and took a step.
Brother Ba is a divine beast, you can't do this to me. Hachi struggled weakly, obviously in vain.
"Mom, do you have to be like this?" Although Chen Mo's face did not change, his breathing began to be a little uneven, and he was really surprised by the breaking of the rules of Lei Dao that day.
Tianlei Dao Ancestral Hall. Enshrined in the tens of thousands of years of famous ancestors, inherited to this day, there are no less than thousands of tablets in the enshrinement. When all the disciples come to worship, they must profess their Xuan Qi and climb this long jade staircase on foot to show their sincerity.
Chen Mo naturally didn't bother to pay attention to any worship, but in the ancestral hall, there was a retreat place that could be called a great opportunity, that is, the so-called Spirit Gathering Array.
I was fortunate enough to enter it and cultivate. It was originally won by winning the first place in this test and martial arts competition, and it was only a short fifteen days. This is still a reward for leaving a name on the Tianlei list. It is said that the usual hidden dragon is the first on the list. It's only seven days.
For the skyrocketing steps, naturally I don't want to miss it.
"Do you need me to explain, hurry up. Feng Feiyan picked up Xiaoba, turned around and urged.
Seeing that Feng Feiyan had climbed nearly a hundred and ten steps in one go. Chen Mo couldn't help but secretly admire. At this time, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Secretly urging the light and Xuan Qi, quietly along the meridians all the way to the legs, in the blink of an eye, it was about to reach the feet.
Hehe, it's a lot easier that way.
Bang.
Chen Mo's face stiffened, and the Xuan Qi that had just arrived at his feet seemed to have taken the wrong current, and it hit the ground with an explosion, and he was thrown out directly.
Rolling down dozens of jade steps, instead of advancing half a step. Instead, he retreated a long way, and his body muscles and bones ached for a while.
"Son. Don't be lucky, there are thunder patterns in the steps, just to prevent disobedient brat like you. Looking at each other from afar, Feng Feiyan looked down and shouted.
"Mom, you're cheating on your son, don't say it earlier. Chen Mo wailed, so that it was not painful.
Tianlei Dao, count you ruthless.
Gritting his teeth, he lifted his heavy steps.
The scorching sun is on the head, and half an hour has passed all the way down.
"Hehe, go and help the virtuous nephew. ”
"Virtuous nephew?"
Chen Mo wiped away the beads of sweat that overflowed from his forehead, and felt depressed in his heart, I don't seem to have any relatives here, right?
A man in a gray robe came down as if trotting all the way, although this person Chen Mo was not familiar with, he had also seen once, it was Zheng Chengwang, the patriarch of the Zheng clan. This person is middle-aged, and he has a mustache on his mouth.
"Where the clan rules are, it's really embarrassing for Chen Gongzi. Zheng Chengwang greeted him, hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his loose cuffs, and personally helped Chen Mo wipe the sweat beads from his forehead.
What kind of fame is this old man?
Chen Mo played the drum in his heart, looking at the diligent Zheng Chengwang, he was uncomfortable for a while, the sun came out in the west today?
He was followed by a man with an extraordinary bearing, whose age was nothing more than about forty years old, dressed in green clothes, with this green brocade belt tied around his waist, which was just right tight, and lit his broad chest.
Three steps and two steps forward, walked directly to Feng Feiyan's side, raised a pair of wide palms, and wanted to help her, but stopped next to her lotus root arm and didn't dare to touch it.
"Division...... Senior sister, can I give you a hand?" as if asking for Feng Feiyan's consent, the person who came said.
Senior sister, it's over, the old man has a rival in love.
Chen Mo secretly thought, looking at the personable man, he must have special thoughts about his little mother.
"Hmph. Feng Feiyan snorted coldly and stuffed Xiaoba into the man's arms. Directly stepped on the last step and stood on the platform.
On the platform, a group of clan bigwigs were "full of kindness", staring at the stunned Chen Mo.
"Tianhua, why don't you come over and help me help Chen Gongzi. Zheng Chengwang's face changed suddenly, and he said to the man seriously.
The man seemed to be disdainful, lifted the little eight-tail, and said, "Big brother, I still have to take care of this little turtle." After saying that, he walked onto the platform without looking back.
Boss, they bullied me. Xiao Ba stared at his limbs and looked at Chen Mo pitifully.
"Hehe, Chen Gongzi is not strange, my brother has this habit, and there is no malice. Zheng Chengwang explained with a smile.
I had heard that the Zheng family's sycophants were first-class, and at this time, Chen Mo was really impressed.
"Son, don't come up yet. Feng Feiyan urged.
"Yes, nephew, I have prepared a good tea from Tianlei Mountain, come and have a cup and rest. "Even the sect master sealed the thunder, and he said it politely.
The sun was shining, sweating profusely, and hearing the words "virtuous nephew" shouted from his mouth, Chen Mo couldn't help but shudder. Glancing at the patriarch of the Chen clan standing beside Feng Chonglei, he exhaled a long breath, fortunately, there was a normal point.
Without thinking much about it, with the support of the patriarch Zheng Chengwang, he stepped on the platform.
The platform is round, the whole body is made of white jade, there are five zhang square, the ground in the middle is carved with two heads up to swallow the fire dragon ball of the unicorn, and then inside is the towering building, more than ten zhang high door is hung in the middle of the "Tianlei Road Ancestral Hall" gold plaque.
It makes people feel a sense of majesty and solemnity coming to their faces.
Chen Mo turned around and looked, the breeze was blowing, the mountains in the distance were connected, the pumice stones were lined up, and the thatched grass built on the pumice stones hung on the green vines, which were as quiet as water in the clouds and mist, and he was in a comfortable mood at a glance.
"Virtuous nephew, come, come here, please. Feng Chonglei patted Chen Mo on the shoulder and led him to the small pavilion in the corner of the platform.
The small pavilion is cast on the cliff and can overlook the entire mountain. At a long stone table, Feng Feiyan had already sat down, Jinpa wiped the fragrant sweat, and let Zheng Tianhua serve with tea and water, looking comfortable and natural.
Before entering the pavilion, there was a refreshing fragrance wafting in, which caused Chen Mo to be intoxicated.
"Son, come and sit next to my mother. Feng Feiyan pulled Zheng Tianhua, who was blocking her view, away and greeted Chen Mo.
Wow......
There were no miscellaneous people around, several people sat one after another, and then the sound of tea entering the cup came, and the fragrance came from here. attracted Chen Mo's look, the brown color was green, soft in the cup, and it seemed to be sticky.
"Hehe, virtuous nephew, this tea is called Danfeng Tea, the so-called Danfeng Tea, tea is as its name suggests, it is fed by pills, and it starts from cultivating tea seedlings, to the so-called picking, killing, baking and a series of processes, all of which are in the spirit gathering array you are about to go to, planted in the heaven and soil. ”
"Tiantu?" Chen Mo couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, the heavenly earth, the heavenly earth is the land with no traces of life in the vast firmament, and the heavenly soil must be cultivated by the four-grade marrow melting pill, and the tea tree is fed by the spirit stone all the year round. ”
Feng Chonglei explained it all over, but he enjoyed himself.
Chen Mo was unbelievable, a cup of tea actually had such an effect.
"Where can I buy it?" Chen Mo asked hurriedly.
Feng Chonglei was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "Haha, the virtuous nephew doesn't know, this tea has never existed in the heavens and the earth, but my Heavenly Thunder Dao Sect is unique." ”
"Isn't it just a cup of broken tea, son, Mommy will get you some another day. Feng Feiyan came relaxed and said lightly.
You're really my own sister!
Feng Chonglei tried his best to praise him, he wanted to show the strength of Tianlei Dao, and finally made Chen Mo interested, but she was worthless in what she said, and he was helpless for a while.
Xiaoba was not so calm at this time, and pulled the edge of the stone table with his limbs, but he couldn't drink a sip.
Tea is good tea, the face is smiling, Chen Mo knows what is greasy in it.
Two fingers touched the tea cup, pushed it to the side and said: "The sect master is really lifting, how can I bear this good tea." ”
Feng Chonglei's face stiffened, and then he smiled and said: "The virtuous nephew is really outside, as a core disciple of the Heavenly Thunder Dao, under the cultivation of my clan, you will definitely have a bright future in the future, in the future, tea like this is just a refreshment to clear your throat after meals, why bother to see outside." ”
Immediately, a look was handed to Zheng Chengwang next to him.
"Uh...... Hehe, what the clan said is extremely true, Chen Gongzi is unique, if there is a sect master behind his back, then the future will not only be promising, it will be a smooth progress. "Zheng Chengwang is subtle and just right.
The sound of a tea lid scribbling came, and Chen Hongbo, the patriarch of the Chen clan, took a sip of tea and shouted again and again: "Well, good tea, good tea." ”
After having some taste, he continued: "I think that since Chen Xian's nephew has entered the Heavenly Thunder Dao, he is a disciple of the Heavenly Thunder Dao, but after all, his surname is Chen, and now that he has entered the Taoist Sect, I think the important thing is to recognize his ancestors and return to the sect." ”
Chen Hongbo had something to say, although the three surnames belonged to the same Tianlei Dao, but they were not so harmonious in secret, and now it is expected.
