More than ten years later, Zhang Yuanji and Zhang Yuanxiang brothers not only grew up, but also became the top figures in the Daomen. After returning to the mountain, I saw that the foundation of the two had been completed, and they had been practicing in the rivers and lakes for three years, and there were no evil traces, so I began to teach the two of them the art of talisman spells. On this basis, I will choose an heir and be the next head of the sect, so that I can put aside my mundane affairs and practice the way of heaven.

I still remember that day, when I first taught Yuan Ji the art of talismans, I said that the art of talisman can only change the temporary environment and luck, but it cannot change fate, so as to show that talisman is not omnipotent. I specifically said the fact that his father went down the mountain that day and I gave him a charm with a bag of tips and could not save him in the end, Yuan Ji's face changed greatly when he heard it, I thought that it made him sad to recall the past, so I stopped mentioning it, who knows that there is another hidden secret, but this is a later story.

Among my dozen disciples, the most accomplished and the best qualifications are the Zhang brothers, Yuan Ji is calm and pragmatic, Yuan Xiang is talented, and his understanding is extremely high, and the other disciples are all busy people, so I want to choose one of the two as the head of the teacher. It's just that the two brothers have their own strengths and weaknesses, which makes it difficult for me to make a decision for a while.

It didn't take long for an unexpected event to change my mind. A young woman carried the child up the mountain, and claimed that the child's father was Zhang Yuanxiang, and angrily reprimanded Yuanxiang for abandoning the chaos from the beginning, and asked Zhang Yuanxiang to marry Ming Media and give her justice. You must know that my southern Taoism does not prohibit marriage and childbirth, as long as Yuan Xiang admits it, it is understandable, but Yuan Xiang does not admit it, and what is even worse is that this woman is called "Evil Phoenix" Xu Sainan, who is a notorious woman on the rivers and lakes, I expelled Yuan Xiang from the mountain gate in a fit of anger, and at the same time regarded Yuan Ji as the successor of the head of the sect, but I felt that the time had not come, and I would pass on the position of the head of the sect to him after a while.

One day five years ago, I practiced a set of exercises in retreat on the top of the Five Extremes of Maoshan Mountain, and I had already practiced the retreat for 42 days for 7749 days, and it would take another 7 days to complete the accomplishment. During the retreat, I went into a state of Bigu and did not eat any food, but drank the spring water brought by Yuanji. On this day, just halfway through the practice, suddenly it was dark in front of my eyes, and the whole person fainted. When I woke up, I found that my whole body was weak and I couldn't move, and Motoyoshi stayed aside and looked at me coldly. I immediately understood that Motoyoshi had put a very clever drug in the water.

I didn't get angry, cultivators don't get angry easily, but they were a little sad, and they were a little curious, so I asked Motoyoshi why?

Who knew that my question was like a stone thrown into a quiet pool of water aroused Yuanji's emotions, and Yuanji, who had always been calm and calm, yelled at me, he said that he hated, hated the court for killing his innocent father, hated those relatives who usually got the benefits of his family, but once they were in trouble, they hid far away, hated his younger brother Yuanxiang, if it wasn't for the day when he went down the mountain, he took his father's sleep to steal the charm out to play and was blown away by the wind, his father would have been able to escape, he also hated me, hated why I didn't pass on the position of the master, so that he could learn the most powerful in those masters, the most vicious spell to take revenge, to take revenge on Zhu Yuanzhang, to take revenge on the court, to take revenge on all those who are sorry for him.

Yuan Ji admitted that the child brought by the woman who went up the mountain that day was his son, and Xu Sainan was his woman. He did this just to get rid of Yuan Xiang, and he begged me to pass on the position of head of the sect to him now, and swore that he would not care about his business, otherwise, he would kill me.

I sighed and said, "Motoyoshi, you know I won't do that."

Hearing this, Yuanji cried bitterly, he lay in front of me, kowtowed a few times, and then pushed me off the cliff!

Although Lan Yue knew that Yun Ding was not dead and was sitting alive in front of him, she was still shocked when she heard this.

At this time, the sun has completely set, and the sky is getting dark. Yunding invites Blue Moon to the place where he lives. The two walked to the depths of the stone cliff, there was a cave inside, the two came to it, Yun Ding lit a homemade oil lamp with the embers, and suddenly, the cave was bright.

Suddenly, a black shadow burst out from the corner of the cave and pounced on Yun Ding, who did not dodge and let him wrap his arms around his neck. Lan Yue looked at it fixedly, and it turned out to be a monkey holding Yunding. Blue Moon looked around again, and there was a squirrel in the house, and several unknown birds with bright feathers were also taking a leisurely walk in the corner. There is also a hammock made of vines in the cave, a large raised bluestone is paved with hay, and some nameless flowers bloom around, exuding a faint fragrance.

Yunding invited Lan Yue to sit down, took out the tea bowl carved from the roots of ancient trees, and poured some self-brewed fruit wine for Lan Yue to taste, it was really mellow, sweet and intoxicating. Yun Ding sat on the stone board and continued to talk about what happened to him.

It turned out that when Yunding fell to the mountainside, he was hung by a net formed by vines, and Yunding was drugged and hung like this for a day. On the second day, a monkey came to his side and fed him some unknown fruits, which not only quenched thirst and hunger, but also detoxified, and three days later, Yunding returned to normal and climbed into the current cliff.

Yunding also thought about going down the mountain to expose Zhang Yuanji's crimes, executing him or expelling him from the mountain gate, but he never went down to be ruthless, secretly observed, and did not find any evil deeds in him.

But that day in Pangu Cave, Yun Ding secretly saw that Zhang Yuanji had the intention of stealing the Blue Moon Golden Pill, so he reminded Lan Yue with a sigh, but at that time, Lan Yue was bent on seeing the eldest brother, so he got started. After Zhang Yuanji left, Yunding rescued Lan Yue and restored his skills.

Lan Yue only now figured out the cause and effect of the whole thing, thinking that this old way is quite protective of his apprentice, and rescuing himself to recover his skills is just to atone for his apprentice and pay off his debts, to find out this, Lan Yue smiled: "In this way, we don't owe each other, and I won't thank you anymore, can I go down the mountain at any time and continue to hurry?"

Yun Ding also smiled: "It is worthy of Xi Yingzhen's apprenticeship, but you don't suffer a loss! Of course, you can go down the mountain at any time, but I still have something to ask for, and you will not suffer a loss if you have a reward afterwards." ”

Lan Yu said lightly: "Are you unable to do it, and you want me to kill him for you?"

Yunding is really humane: "That's not it, if I want to kill him, he will have died a hundred times." I think that the day after tomorrow, when he goes to the stone cave prison to absorb your golden pill, you take advantage of his unpreparedness, and in turn absorb half of his strength, let him leave with half of his strength, so that he can protect himself, and live in seclusion with his family from now on, without asking about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and it is not very good?"

Lan Yue was puzzled: "What you said is quite difficult!"

Yun Ding said: "It's okay, I'll ask you to absorb his skills and mental methods." Besides, as the 'Jindan Dharma Protector' of Taoism, you also have this responsibility!"

Lan Yue frowned and said, "What is this 'Jindan Protector', and what is it?

Yun Dingqi said: "Didn't Lao Xi tell you? There are 'Daomen Protectors' and 'Jindan Protectors' in the Daomen. "Daomen Protector" is publicly launched by the Taoist sects in the special period of Taoism, used to protect Taoism Taoist masters or martial arts outside the sect, "Jindan Protector" is even more rare, only the body formed Jindan people are qualified to be called "Jindan Protector", its status in the Daomen transcendence, the internal can punish the rebellion of the Daomen, and the external has the responsibility to protect and promote Taoism, of course, the "Jindan Protector" is generally hundreds of years before one, the nearest Jindan Protector is still at that time What about Li Shimin, the king of Qin, after Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, he positioned Taoism as the state religion, and Taoism flourished for hundreds of years!"

Lan Yue smiled: "Then I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the Daomen? I don't know how long I can live!"

Yun Dingqi said: "I don't think you are short-lived, why do you say this?"

Lan Yue said: "How long do you say a Qin criminal who is wanted by the imperial court can live?"

Yun Ding asked rhetorically: "What's wrong with the Qin criminals? Wasn't Zhu Yuanzhang a Qin criminal of the Yuan Dynasty at the beginning? Wasn't Li Shimin a Qin criminal of the Sui Dynasty? Haven't you heard that sentence -- 'Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be punished!' How many heroes and heroes have been there throughout the ages, and who has not been regarded as a Qin criminal? Those who can achieve great things are heroes!"

Lan Yue said: "You don't look like a monk when you say these words!"

Yun Ding laughed: "Blue Yue, you really don't know my Taoism! When the world is peaceful, what the people in my Taoist sect pursue is personal cultivation and seeking Taoism, soaring day by day, advocating personal freedom. But when there is trouble in the world, my Taoist sect will draw his sword and go down the mountain, eliminate the demon and defend the Tao, and he should not let it go. There are countless such examples in history, such as the Wudou Mijiao and Taiping Dao uprisings of Zhang Jiao and Zhang Ling in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the uprising of Tianshi Dao Li Teh in the Western Jin Dynasty, and the uprising of Tianshi Sun En in the Eastern Jin Dynasty are all specific manifestations of my Taoism for Tianxing and removing darkness. In the face of righteousness, the people in my Taoist sect have always been duty-bound. ”

Yun Ding said this, and then changed the tone of his words and said: "Of course, the Dao Sect will also respect personal wishes, and will not force the Jindan Dharma Protector to do anything, and he can't force it." ”

Lan Yue smiled: "Don't put on any Jindan Dharma Protector hat for me, you saved my life, I also drank your wine, I should do things for you, don't be long-winded, tell me the plan quickly." ”

Yun Ding also laughed, and then stepped forward to grant Lan Yue a set of martial arts methods to absorb other people's internal strength. Blue Moon spent another day practicing this method until it was fully understood. At this point, Lan Yue has obtained another martial arts secret method, which can steal the internal strength of the other party without others knowing.

Time flies, according to the time calculated by Yunding real people, Lan Yue quietly returned to the original "cell", fortunately Yun Ding led the way, the winding road with holes in the hole Blue Moon is really not accurate.

According to Yun Ding's meaning, Lan Yue lay on the dry grass, hiding the true qi in her body into some unused acupoints, the dantian was empty, only Jin Dan was moving slightly, and it seemed that she was also dying. Yun Ding hid in a stone cave on one side, waiting. Time passed bit by bit, and I don't know how long it took, just when Lan Yue thought that Zhang Yuanji would not come today, there was a sound of the iron door opening in the distance, and then the sound of footsteps came here.
