Chapter 7: Worship at the Gate of Heaven

I don't know how long I slept, Qinghu woke up slowly, wanting to speak but couldn't say anything. A girl next to her, about six or seven years old, saw Qinghu wake up, and hurriedly shouted: "Dad, Qinghu is awake!" Before the words fell, a middle-aged man walked in from outside, dressed as a Confucian scholar, full of heaven, short hair, thick eyebrows and starry eyes, and his temples were already starry. This person was Gu Yuefeng, one of the three elders of Tianmen today, and the girl next to him was his daughter Gu Zheng.

Gu Yuefeng stepped forward to look at Qinghu, then took the pulse, and said: "This kid is too weak now, Zheng'er, you keep an eye on him these days, feed him some truffles in a few hours, you can get up in a few days, and then come and call me again!"

"Okay, Dad, go ahead and get busy, I'm keeping an eye on him right here. Guzheng replied with a smile.

"Can you speak?" asked Guzheng softly.

Qinghu looked at the little girl in front of him, and saw that she had moth eyebrows, white teeth and red lips, and pink makeup, just like a jade doll. Dressed in a white sackcloth, she was talking to him with wide eyes at the moment. Qinghu opened his mouth and found that he couldn't speak, so he fainted again in a hurry. During this period, Guzheng fed truffles several times at intervals, and it must be known that this truffle is a first-class medicine in Tianmen, and Qinghu's complexion has gradually improved after taking it continuously.

On this day, Qinghu was already able to get out of bed completely, and when he walked outside the house, he saw that Gu Zheng was practicing swords, and Gu Yuefeng was watching. In the courtyard at first, the faintly visible figure flashed with a burst of clear light, and gradually turned into a ball of snow, and the figure was gone, and then, the sword light was several feet long, and suddenly there was a long roar, and the sound shook the sky, only to see an ice phoenix appear in the sky, dancing arbitrarily in the sky, it was very beautiful.

Qinghu was already stunned, and Gu Yuefeng looked back and beckoned Qinghu over. "Meet Uncle!" Qinghu saluted.

"Qinghu, I am the Gu Yuefeng you are looking for, you can call me my uncle in the future. You have been bedridden for more than half a month, more than ten days ago, your mother waited for you not to wake up, so she hurried back to Qingzhuang to find out the news of your father, I personally escorted her to Wuzhou City, we searched for the nine elders to no avail, so we sent your mother to the Meng family in Wuzhou. Before leaving, she asked me to tell you that you must learn martial arts here with peace of mind, don't worry about her, don't go to your own realm, and don't go out of the Tianshan Mountain! If you go down the mountain in advance if you violate her words, she will never recognize you as a son. Gu Yuefeng said solemnly.

Qinghu was stunned, he didn't know what to say for a while, Shaoqing, and asked: "Uncle Gu, do you know how Qingzhuang is?" Gu Yuefeng couldn't bear to lie to him, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to bear it, so he pondered for a while, and said: "When the master went, the people who attacked Qingzhuang had already withdrawn, and the master didn't know if there was anyone else who escaped besides you?" "Plop" knelt down to Gu Yuefeng and said, "Uncle Gu's grace, Qinghu will always remember it!"

Gu Yuefeng helped Qinghu up with his hand, and then said with a smile: "Qinghu, I know you are very sad, but you have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders, you must cheer up." In the future, you will study martial arts with Zheng'er! When you are better, I will take you to meet the senior brother in charge, pay homage to the ancestors of the past dynasties, and officially accept you as an apprentice!" Qinghu said: "Master Xie, the disciple must work hard!"

At this moment, the ice phoenix in the sky rushed to the ground, and the guzheng was already drenched in sweat. smiled and said: "Finally not my youngest, little junior brother, hehe!" Qinghu solemnly saluted: "Meet senior sister, senior sister's life-saving grace is unforgettable!" Looking at Qinghu's serious appearance, Guzheng couldn't help but laugh again.

Three days later, Gu Yuefeng led Qinghu to formally meet the door master and other elders in the door, only to see a Taoist sitting in the main hall, white hair and white beard, clear appearance, eyes like ancient wells, it is the contemporary Tianmen Gate Master Gu Lian Daoist Ji Hang, a stunning woman on the left hand, with a cold face, looking like autumn water, it is Xiao Yu, the law enforcement elder Purple Emperor Fairy, the seat on the right hand is empty, it should be the position of Gu Yuefeng. Gu Yuefeng is a round-faced old man, white-faced, bearded, pot-bellied, but not bloated at all, laughing at this time, it is the elder Jin Luo. After that, there were eight disciples on both sides, all of whom were around ten years old. Gu Yuefeng led Qinghu to meet the door master and elders one by one. After that, the ancient lotus Taoist presided over the apprenticeship ceremony.

The ancient lotus Taoist led everyone to first offer incense to the ancestors of the past dynasties, and performed three bows and nine bows. Then Gu Yuefeng went to incense alone and bowed to the ancestors of the past dynasties and comforted the ancestors. After that, Qinghu was ordered to offer incense alone and bow down. After that, under the witness of everyone, Qinghu bowed to Gu Yuefeng.

After Qinghu finished the salute, Gulian Daoist said solemnly: "Qinghu, since you have entered my heavenly gate, you should abide by my heavenly gate rules, you can listen well!" "My heavenly gate is not worldly, pay attention to the way of nature, so the door rules do not have too much red tape, a total of three precepts, one precept to kill each other, two precepts to kill innocents, three precepts to adultery and theft, if you violate the three precepts, everyone in the heavenly gate can be punished, you may abide by it?"

Qinghu replied seriously: "Disciple Qinghu will abide by the door rules, and if he violates it, he will be punished voluntarily!"

"Okay, from now on, you are from my Heavenly Gate, Senior Brother Gu, you can write Qinghu's name into the family tree!"

"Senior Brother Xie!"

Gu Yuefeng turned his head to Qinghu again and said: "Qinghu, in the future, I must take my senior brother and sister as an example, practice diligently, and don't fall into the name of my heavenly gate!" Qinghu saluted again: "Hu'er is stupid, he must obey the teacher's orders and double his practice!" Gu Yuefeng smiled.

Guzheng took Qinghu to meet his brothers and sisters one by one, and the order was determined by the entry time in Tianmen. The eight disciples are, Senior Brother Zhong Wen, Second Senior Sister Fang Yi, Third Senior Sister Ji Hua, Fourth Senior Brother Song Xue, Fifth Senior Brother Feng Xiao, Sixth Senior Sister Xiaoyue, Seventh Senior Brother Juetian, Eighth Senior Brother Jin Bo, and Ninth Senior Sister Guzheng. Guzheng is two years older than Qinghu, the youngest is Jin Bo, who is ten years old this year, and the oldest is Zhong Wen, who is thirteen years old this year.

After the ceremony was completed, Gu Lian asked all the disciples to retreat, and instructed Gu Zheng to take Qinghu to take a look around except for the forbidden land.

After the disciples left, Jin Luo said: "Senior brother, I watch Qinghu, just the capital of the Chinese, although that Qingfeng saved your life by chance, but you personally accepted him as a disciple, I am worried that it will hurt him!" Xiao Yu on the other side bowed slightly, obviously this idea was also the same. Gu Yuefeng said with a smile: "You only know one of them, but you don't know the other, my generation is against the heavens and cultivates, although the qualification is important, but I think it is more important to pay attention to the blessing, this son has a deep fortune, maybe the longevity of the heavenly gate in the future will fall on him!" Gu Lian thought for a moment and said: "Senior Brother Gu is reasonable, from the beginning of the establishment of the Heavenly Gate, Qinghu is the only one under the Dragon Elephant Realm who has climbed the ladder of heaven, not to mention that he has no cultivation at all, although he doesn't know the process, but he must be a person with a deep source of blessings!"

Gu Zheng took Qinghu to introduce him around, and he talked endlessly along the way, and the senior brothers and sisters who were practicing the exercises all smiled and shouted: "Ninth Senior Sister, you have a playmate this time! The monkey and the white bear are going to suffer even more, hahahaha." ”

Gu Zheng rarely showed a shy smile, and ran away as if he was busy flying with Qinghu. Running to a place where no one was, Guzheng said: "Senior brother, don't listen to their nonsense, people are ladies, I will take you to see the monkeys and white bears, they are all my good friends!" After speaking, he took Qinghu to the back mountain, but saw several snow-white snow monkeys frolicking, and several white bears were basking in the sun comfortably. Qinghu laughed, this was the first time he really laughed after the tragic change in his family, but he laughed and laughed and cried in his heart. "Dad, mother, grandpa, the tiger misses you!"

Guzheng took Qinghu along the trail all the way up, when he reached the top of the mountain, the front was already a forbidden place and could not go any further, but he could already see the gate of heaven, only to see the layers on top of each other, there were dozens of rooms built by the mountain, the whole body was white, it was built of the unique white clay of the Tianshan Mountains, and the cultivation in the white house could clear the mind and calm the mind, and the heart was like stopping water. Guzheng pointed to Qinghu one by one, there are Danfang, arsenal, council hall, etc., Qinghu wrote them down one by one.

After Qinghu returned to the house, Gu Yuefeng summoned him separately and encouraged him. In the evening, several senior brothers and sisters came to see Qinghu one after another, gave gifts, and comforted them. After everyone left, only Qinghu was left in the house, and suddenly it turned from noisy to quiet, and it seemed even more lonely and lonely. "I don't know what's wrong with Qingzhuang now, are grandpa and father alive or dead?Has my mother found the Ninth Elder?When can I return to Qingzhuang again?" All kinds of thoughts came to my heart, and until now, Qinghu still can't accept such a reality, just a few days, as if he fell from heaven to hell.

Fortunately, Qinghu was born optimistic, coupled with the child's heart, and remembered the warmth of the people in Tianmen, which slightly diluted Qinghu's sadness and sorrow. He made up his mind that he would definitely cultivate hard and enter the realm of his true self as soon as possible. At this time, as if he had a sense, the first layer of the "Big Dream Heart Sutra" appeared in his mind, taking dreams as horses. And with the appearance of the mental method, Qinghu's whole body was dramatic, and then he felt that he had been falling from the sky, he wanted to shout, but he couldn't shout, his hands and feet were scratching and kicking, but it couldn't affect the falling momentum at all.

"Boom" With a bang, Qinghu felt that he had entered a confined space, surrounded by liquid, his eyes could not be opened, his hands and feet curled up as if he was trapped and could not move, for a while his head was up, his feet were down, and his head was down and his feet were up, I don't know how long, he felt a beam of light shining on his eyes, Qinghu desperately swam in the direction of the light, and then he was shocked, and he arrived at a huge space that seemed to be boundless, and looked up, surrounded by a colorful world, floating in the air with red, green, gold, yellow, purple and other colored balls, and he also became a colorless and transparent ball, Qinghu tried to move, Touching the golden ball next to him, he instantly felt like he was going to be cut, and when he touched the green ball, he suddenly felt vibrant, Qinghu was aroused, and touched the balls of various colors one after another, and gradually had fun.

Suddenly, Qinghu felt that something was calling him, so he swam in that direction, he saw a young man in a strange posture, sitting cross-legged, with his feet facing the sky and palms facing up, and he was uncontrollably sucked into the boy's mouth, and then all the way to a confined space, and there were countless balls like himself around, and then he and the surrounding balls fused and dispersed, turning into new balls, and then he was pushed into one room by another, large and small, and finally fell asleep with his companions in a small room, and I don't know how many years later, he appeared in the hands of a middle-aged man, I can still vaguely see the shadow of the young man at the beginning, and then he and his companions were turned into the shape of a sword, the man waved his hand, and he and his companions rushed to a woman together, the woman's hand was a fiery red knife, the woman waved the knife, felt hot all over, and it completely turned into a little light, dissipating between heaven and earth. Strangely, there was not the slightest pain.
