Gongsun Shanqing's division is a small sect called Shending Sect, and there are only a dozen people in the whole sect. The sect master does not like outsiders, and there are no miscellaneous servants, cooks, and so-called worshippers and other miscellaneous unrelated people. What do you want to do with those cultivators? Not to mention those things that are outside the body, and the cultivation of immortals and seeking the Dao refining device has already exhausted all their energy. Staying away from the red dust and concentrating on cultivation is the consistent purpose of Shendingmen, and the head of the sect has implemented this point very thoroughly.

The mountain gate is located on a mountain with a small spiritual vein, the mountain is not high but it is quiet and elegant, and what is even more commendable is that there is a trace of spiritual vein and earth fire that can be cultivated. At that time, the ancestor of the sect relied on a coincidence to obtain a Xuanhuo Ding to achieve enlightenment, and since then he has embarked on the road of cultivating immortals, and the sect is directly named after the Shending. Fortunately, the quality of the magic weapons practiced with this divine ding is often one percent better than that of ordinary magic weapons, so the sect mainly relies on refining magic weapons on behalf of them in exchange for some cultivation resources. This is a laborious but thankless profession, not to mention delaying cultivation, and not to mention earning many spirit stones. The refined magic weapons are naturally not as good as the exclusive skills of those big sects, but they are slightly better than those refined by ordinary sects, and the price is not expensive.

In this way, it has been passed down from generation to generation, although the sect is small, it has been passed down in the stumbling and stumbling, and it has to be said that it can be regarded as a wonderful flower in the cultivation world. After all, in the cultivation realm, luck has always been comparable to the existence of cultivation exercises. This situation lasted until decades ago, when Shendingmen ushered in the first ancestor of Zhongxing in the sect, Jindan Patriarch, Gongsun Changhong. However, the first Jindan patriarch of the sect seemed to have exhausted the luck accumulated by the sect for thousands of years, and once it was brilliant, it was fleeting.

More than 60 years ago, there was a plague and famine at the foot of the mountain, and many people died. Gongsun Changhong, who was still a disciple of the sect, went down the mountain to practice, passed by a small village, and found that the entire village was infected with the plague and almost all died. Cultivators should follow the natural path of heaven, and some people will die if they live, but Gongsun Changhong couldn't bear to let a village of people be violent in the wilderness, so he personally buried dozens of people in the entire village one by one. It's just that during the burial process, it was found that there was a baby alive, Gongsun Changhong felt that he had a lot of fate with this baby, otherwise how could a village be dead, this baby was still alive, and it happened that he met it again.

So, Gongsun Changhong named the baby Gongsun Shanqing, which means that the mountains are evergreen and the people are always there. I also hope that this baby can be evergreen with the mountain and start and end well. So he took the baby and saw the green mountains and green waters on the way back to the mountain, and his heart was moved:

Like a green mountain that never grows old,

The air is like green water flowing forever,

Today's cultivation is a golden pill,

He will not die if he practices every day.

On that day, Gongsun Changhong broke through the realm from the heartbeat period into the period of spiritual silence, and soon after returning to the mountain gate, he successfully crossed the catastrophe and became a golden pill in one fell swoop, shocking the three mountains and six gates of the Wei State. Later, Gongsun Changhong became the head of the Shending Sect, and he was also the first Jindan patriarch in the history of the sect, and the Taoist name Changhong was a real person.

After a few years, Shanqing slowly grew up. Children will always be liked, Shanqing is the youngest, naturally favored by everyone, and has become the most popular junior brother. Later, the master began to teach Shanqing the art of refining qi, and then taught him the art of refining weapons. Shan Qing felt that whether it was qi training or refining, it seemed to be very suitable for him, and as a result, the speed of breaking the mirror was very fast. Gongsun Changhong found that Shan Qing was simply a natural cultivator, so he was naturally overjoyed, and began to praise Shan Qing constantly, and later often compared Shan Qing with his senior brothers, saying that the senior brothers are not as good as your junior brothers. Since then, Shan Qing felt that the attitude of the senior brothers towards him had changed subtly, as for what it was, how did the young Shan Qing know?

After a few more years, his alchemy skills were almost comparable to those of the senior brother, and in some aspects he was even better, as for his cultivation, he had also reached the seventh level of qi training. Shan Qing grew up in Shanmen since she was a child, and she was obsessed with practicing Qi and cultivating the Dao, and she spent less and less time with her senior brothers. Until one day, the master summoned all the people of the sect in the ancestral hall and designated Shan Qing to inherit his mantle in the future. That day, Shan Qing was still puzzled and asked the master, why did he choose me? The master did not answer. It's just that since then, the senior brothers' eyes on Shanqing have changed, there are relief, joy, doubt, loss, jealousy, and hatred.

Time is like flowing water, flowing away. Gongsun Shan is already a teenager, and he fantasizes about what the world under the mountain is like every day. Is it as the senior brothers said, the city wall is dozens of meters high, there are endless delicious food, rock sugar gourds are dozens of strings and hundreds of strings tied to a wood tied to a straw mat, from a distance, it looks like a huge sugar gourd. At the time of the rally, there were too many people on the street to count, and there were all heads at a glance. Shanqing doesn't know what the city wall looks like for dozens of meters, doesn't know what the delicious food is that can't be eaten, doesn't know why there are so many polysaccharide gourds under the mountain, and doesn't know what the crowds look like.

There are very few people on the mountain, and there are only a dozen people when they are full, and because of the special identity of Shanqing, the cultivation has not been completed, and they are not allowed to go down the mountain to practice. At this time, Gongsun Shanqing is like a mountain orchid that has not entered the world, a little milky white reflects the innocence of people's hearts, and half a fragrance reveals the true feelings of the world.

Shan Qing has had such a question since she was a child, and she has always been puzzled. Could it be that the women under the mountain are all tigers? Otherwise, why do the senior brothers always like to say that tigress is like this, and tigress is like that. Once, Shan Qing even went out of her way to ask the little sister about it, and the little sister said with a dark face that she didn't know either.

Gongsun Changhong didn't know that when he cultivated the golden pill in one fell swoop, he had already become a thorn in the side of various sects, a thorn in the flesh, and it made the small sects around him panic. Looking at the entire Wei Kingdom, the three mountains and six gates are added together, and there are only dozens of Jindan real people, so you know how difficult it is to achieve Jindan. Cheng Jindan is going to cross the catastrophe, and nine out of ten people who cross the catastrophe have died under the catastrophe, and only a very few lucky people can survive the catastrophe and achieve Jindan.

"Once a Jindanke was achieved, it was a passer-by to meet from then on. "This is the supreme principle of the cultivation realm. Qi practitioners can cultivate to the realm of Jindan, and they can no longer be measured by common sense, not to mention that once they enter Jindan, they can increase their life span for 500 years. Moreover, in order to enter the Jindan, the power of the Dao is also beyond the reach of ordinary qi practitioners, so there is a name in the cultivation realm, whoever enters the Jindan, can be called the ancestor, also known as the Jindan ancestor. A Jindan ancestor is both respect and fear!

It's just that Gongsun Changhong is dedicated to cultivating Dao refining weapons, and he wants to stabilize the Jindan realm, so he has no other thoughts for the time being. What's more, Gongsun Changhong is the first Jindan patriarch of the sect, and he knows very little about the rules and order hidden between the Jindan and the sects. Cultivating immortals, where can there be calm and peaceful coexistence? The warmth and harmony on the surface are created by the accumulation of corpses and bones behind it, but when Gongsun Changhong understood this, it was already too late.

The various factions and the Shending Sect were calm on the surface, but behind them there was already an undercurrent. Later, a genius disciple named Gongsun Shanqing appeared in the Shending Sect, and his cultivation qualifications were even better than Gongsun Changhong. This completely broke the weak balance between the various sects.

A small sect suddenly came out of a Jindan real person, but there was no other idea, which made people can't help but think about it.

"Did Gongsun Changhong have some adventures during his trip down the mountain?"

"Or does the Shending Gate itself have an ulterior secret?"

"Is it related to the child that Gongsun Changhong brought back?"

"I heard that that kid is also a genius of cultivation, comparable to Gongsun Changhong!"

"A Jindan real person occupies a big fart place but doesn't change the mountain gate, there must be a secret in this place!"

This kind of language, since Gongsun Changhong entered the Jindan, began to quietly spread under the mountain, but Shendingmen in their own acres of land to concentrate on cultivation, and did not really experience any catastrophe, when the fire started, no one cared, until the fire has become a trend of surrounding the mountain, and then it is too late to say anything.

How can anyone sleep soundly on the side of the couch? Not to mention that it is a tiger that can eat people who sleeps. Forget about one, and now there is another tiger cub, what can we do? Who can guarantee that one day these two tigers will not suddenly rise up and eat people up? By then, it's too late. The human heart is sinister, but that's it.

There is only the human heart in the world, and it is the most incapable of resisting the temptation, and one if can shatter all moral order. If that chance falls into my hands, can I also enter the Jindan realm and play the majesty of the Jindan Ancestor?

On a moon-high and windy night, many black-clothed people raided the Shending Gate of Dilung Mountain, including many Jindan real people, and the tragedy happened.

Gongsun Shanqing remembers very well that he was picked up by the master when he fell asleep that night and rushed out of the door. The entire Shending Gate shouted and killed, and there was already a river of blood, and even the master was seriously injured. On the way to escape, Shan Qing asked the master what about the brothers, and the master said in a dumb voice, they are all dead, and now there are only two of us left in the entire Shending Gate. At that time, Gongsun Shanqing clearly remembered the look of self-blame, loneliness, loneliness, helplessness, and pain on his face after the master finished speaking, which was a nightmare for his life. Later, the master took Shanqing to fight and escape, and finally fled to the border of Wei and Heishui River, but was still overtaken. Someone said that as long as the master told the secret of his breakthrough into Jindan, he would be able to let the two of them live.

At that time, the master looked lonely and said to Shanqing: "The evil in the world is no better than the human heart, and the evil of the human heart cannot be guessed." What I can teach you has been taught to you, I only hope that you can survive, don't let the Shending Gate break the inheritance. If you are lucky enough to survive, remember, don't avenge me!" After speaking, he pasted a piece of rune paper on Shan Qing's body.

"It's not good, it's a teleportation charm, how can he have a teleportation charm! Interrupt him to cast a spell!" Several black-clothed people immediately shouted when they saw the rune paper flashing in Gongsun Changhong's hand.

Shan Qing only felt a pain in his chest, and fainted as soon as his eyes were dark. When he woke up, he appeared in the icy Northern Wilderness Snow Field, and was seriously injured. Fortunately, although Shanqing is in the wilderness, there are few people, which gives him a chance to survive. Waiting for Gongsun Shanqing to recover from his injuries, but most of his cultivation has been abolished, and he doesn't know how much time has passed, how many hardships he has gone through, and when Shanqing walked out of the Northern Wilderness Snow Field alive, there is no Shendingmen in this world.

By the time he returned to the gate of Dilung Mountain again, it was already a few years later. The original Shending Gate is now only a ruined wall. Shan Qing inquired around and learned that the master did not hesitate to blow up the golden pill in order to send him away that day, seriously injuring the two people who were chasing, and was later killed on the bank of the Heishui River. There is no Shendingmen anymore, and the tragedy of destroying the door a few years ago has rarely been mentioned until now. It's more of a pity that Gongsun Changhong, a Jindan real person survived the catastrophe but died in a man-made disaster. In the decades that followed, Gongsun Shanqing went crazy looking for the man in black who raided the mountain gate that night. But there is not the slightest clue. In this way, unconsciously, Qingsi gradually grew gray hair, and the young man had become an old man.

Gongsun Shanqing was disheartened and came to the Northern Wilderness Cold Wind City, intending to die until he met Zhou Changsheng who was holding a green dragon dagger.

When the story was over, both fell silent. Gongsun Shanqing was immersed in his memories of the past, but Zhou Changsheng was speechless in sympathy for the old man's tragic life.

After a long time, Gongsun Shanqing said: "Back then, the master said that I should not break the inheritance of the Shending Gate and not take revenge, but now I think that the master does not want me to live in hatred." I'm still young, and I still have my own way to go, but I've been driven forward by hatred all these years, and when I understand it, it's already Zhaohua is no more, and I'm old, and I even forgot the master's instructions. Now I'm the only one left in Shendingmen, a bad old man, these days, I see your courage, toughness, perseverance, are far beyond ordinary people, those entry rules are just forget it, I just want to tell you, if you still want to worship me as a teacher, after entering the Shending Gate, let it disperse, I don't want you to live for others all your life like me. As for me, I also lived a few years of filial piety. How's that, boy?"

Zhou Changsheng immediately leaned down and knelt down, shouting in his mouth: "Master is above, please accept the apprentice, one bow, one bow, three bows...... "Eight worships" Zhou Changsheng knocked eight times, his eyes were red, and he leaned to the ground.

Gongsun Shanqing got up, helped Zhou Changsheng up with trembling hands and said, "In the future, Shendingmen will rely on you." Now that you're in the door, there are a lot of things you should know as well. ”

As he spoke, he took out two yellowed pamphlets from his arms and said to Zhou Changsheng: "Our Shending Sect is a small sect, and the few classics were also destroyed back then. These two books are handed down by the ancestor of our sect, Ming Yu, one refining qi, one refining tools, which is the foundation of the Shending Gate, you take it back and have a good understanding, and if you don't know the place, come and ask me. Originally, I should have given you a few magic weapons for self-defense at this time, but the master encountered a big disaster, and the master was also powerless. However, the gadgets in that room were not magic weapons, but they were very practical. You can pick a few to take with you. In a few days, after the master has finished refining the Qinglong Dagger, I will give it to you for self-defense. ”

Zhou Changsheng stared at the old man with his eyes, holding the two cheats in both hands but not taking them back, the meaning was obvious: "That's it, two broken books sent me away?"

The old man saw that Zhou Changsheng had no intention of getting up, so he had to put his hand into his arms, and it took him a long time to take out a gauzy dress.

"Alas, that's it, it's all yours anyway, I'm still obsessed with these foreign things!" After speaking, he took out a bell and a pen. After putting the thing in Zhou Changsheng's hand, his eyes kept looking at the thing.

Zhou Changsheng knew that he would accept it when he saw it, so he hurriedly got up and thanked: "The apprentice thanked the master for the reward." May Master be as blessed as the East China Sea and live longer than Nanshan. ”

"Okay, the prayer is also bowed, the things have been received, and the master still has something to say to you. Gongsun Shanqing looked painful and then said: "The clothes are called Ice Silkworm Clothes, which were woven by picking ice silk when the master was in the Northern Wilderness Snow Plain, not afraid of water and fire, and can block swords, which is just right for you now." That bell is called the Swinging Bell, and when you practice Qi Xiaocheng and have mana, you can use it, it can swing people's souls, it can be dizzy at light, and it can cause people to fall into a coma. The pen is made from the tip of the tail of the 100-year-old fire fox in the snowfield, and you will understand it when you practice the talisman later. ”

After finishing speaking, Gongsun Shanqing seemed to stop talking, hesitated for a long time before finally speaking: "Changsheng, do you know what cultivation is? What is immortality? Do you know what kind of path you will take after apprenticeship? What price does it take? When Master finishes speaking, you will think about whether you really want to take this path." As a teacher, I was different from you back then, so I almost missed the most important point. ”

Zhou Changsheng held the disciple salute and said: "Speaking of which, a gentleman should be a combination of words and deeds, since I have worshiped you as a master, I will never believe in my words, and I also ask the master to solve the doubts for the apprentice." ”

Gongsun Shanqing looked at the perseverance revealed in Zhou Changsheng's immature eyes, full of relief, and said secretly: "The future of Shendingmen can be expected. ”
