Chapter Twenty-Three: The Lu Clan

Facing the portrait taken out by the innkeeper, Zhang Daohong was full of thoughts about how to deny it.

At this time, the shopkeeper looked at the portrait and exclaimed, "That's right, it's the two of you." Hurry up and follow me to the Lu Clan's sect. ”

Zhang Daohong glanced back at Yan Jingchen, and both of them thought of a graceful, willful and lovely woman. Zhang Daohong sighed in his heart, he didn't expect Lu Qingyao to be a member of the Lu family in Immortal Emperor City, although there are many people surnamed Lu in Immortal Emperor City, but there is only one family that can afford the Lu clan.

The five major sects of Immortal Emperor City are: Lu, Jiang, Ning, Xu, and Qiu. The five major sects have stood on the mainland for 10,000 years, and they are the top clans on the continent, and they are not inferior to the royal families of the three major empires.

The two solved the doubts in their hearts, so they followed the innkeeper to a memorial arch, the archway is written on both sides of the four big characters, the font is natural, majestic. Yan Jingchen pointed to the words on it, and then looked at Zhang Daohong beside him, meaning to ask what was written on it.

Zhang Daohong attached to his ear and whispered: "The front is written as 'the cause of the present tree' and the back is written as 'repay the consequences'." ”

Yan Jingchen muttered these eight words quietly after hearing this, but he still couldn't figure out what they meant.

After passing the torii, there are no people on both sides, and all of them are blocked by high walls, so that people can't see the scenery inside the wall at all.

The two followed the innkeeper all the way to the residence of the Lu clan. A black iron door, tightly closed, no one received at the door, the innkeeper walked to the door, picked up the huge knocker, and knocked on the iron door.

This seemingly ordinary door is not simple. This door knocker alone, if you don't have the strength of the sixfold Dao Realm, you can't hold it at all, and as for this door, you can't even think of opening it with the power of Yan Jingchen and Zhang Daohong.

The innkeeper only knocked three times, and then honestly stepped aside, strange to say, no one came to open the door, but the door slowly opened by itself, and then a voice came: "Yan Jingchen, Zhang Daohongjin!"

After tidying up the clothes on his body, Yan Jingchen and Zhang Daohong entered the Lu clan side by side, and when they passed in front of the innkeeper, they bowed slightly to show their gratitude.

The two stepped into the iron gate, which closed automatically. I don't know what kind of special means were used, although Yan Jingchen was curious, he still resisted the urge to come forward to check, and strode into the lobby facing the door.

There was a young boy sitting in the lobby, who looked not much different from Yan Jingchen's age, and when he saw Yan Jingchen and the two coming in, he got up to receive them, gave them a seat, and said: "Presumably the two of you must know, the reason why my Lu family is looking for two of them to come, I don't know if the young lady is okay outside?"

Yan Jingchen remembered her embarrassed appearance when she first met Lu Qingyao, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Zhang Daohong saw that he was about to show his stuffing, so he hurriedly took over and said: "Miss Lu is very chic outside, if it weren't for the two of us, I really want to travel to the mainland with Miss." ”

When the young man heard that the young lady was fine outside, he stood up with a slight smile and said, "Since the two of you have come to Immortal Emperor City to study, it is better to worship my Lu clan directly, but you can save the complicated rituals of entering the sect." ”

"Thank you Immortal Master for arranging. ”

Although the young man didn't look very old, he had his own demeanor in his gestures, he turned to the two of them and said, "Come with me, take you to the sect and see which immortal master you are related to." ”

Walking in the Lu clan's sect, the disciples he met along the way saw the young man who came with Yan Jingchen and the two of them, and saluted one after another, saying: Elder Qingfeng.

After walking north for a long time, and finally saw a row of low houses, Qingfeng opened his mouth and said to Yan Jingchen and the others: "You settle down here first, and after I report to the sage, I will take you to apprenticeship." ”

Qingfeng called a man in a yellow robe and asked him to be in charge of arranging Yan Jingchen and the two. After explaining some of the affairs inside the door, he turned and left.

This out of the house, although it looks ordinary, but when Yan Jingchen walked into the house, he found the mystery inside, it was obvious that someone had arranged a soundproof magic circle here, the sound insulation effect was very good, and the clean environment in the house made Yan Jingchen like it very much.

The man in yellow helped Yan Jingchen and Zhang Daohong allocate the house and left, Yan Jingchen visited his hut, a bed that was not stone or jade, immediately attracted his attention, this bed exuded gentle energy, people knew this extraordinary product at a glance.

After trying to meditate and practice on this bed for a while, Yan Jingchen opened his eyes excitedly, the five major sects of this Immortal Emperor City are not the top sects in the mainland, just this simple one, I don't know how strong it is to be compared to those small sects.

In line with the principle that good things cannot be wasted, Yan Jingchen simply meditated without distraction.

"Bell"

A distant bell sounded, Yan Jingchen opened his eyes, knowing that with the sound insulation effect of this house, the sound of the bell could not be heard at all. As soon as he got out of bed, he saw the man in yellow walk in from outside in the morning.

"Senior Brother Yan Jingchen, the elders summoned us to the Yang Temple, I was afraid that you would not know the way, so I specially came to pick you up and Senior Brother Zhang Daohong. ”

Yan Jingchen respectfully said to the man in yellow, "Then ask Senior Brother Huang to lead the way." ”

The Lu clan occupies an extremely wide area, and the two of them followed the man in yellow all the way forward, and the man in yellow explained to the two as he walked: "I am from Cangli, and I am fortunate to have Elder Lu Xiangbo enlightened, and I have been practicing in Immortal Emperor City for six years, and in front of me is the famous 'Dragon Bridge' in the sect, so you should be careful." ”

Stepping on the 'Dragon Bridge' mentioned by the man in yellow, Yan Jingchen and the others didn't feel anything terrible, so they looked around. There was a constant stream of water flowing down the sides of the bridge, and it was so clear that there was nothing terrible at all.

This 'dragon bridge' is extremely long, and the three of them walk on it, and there is no end in sight as far as the eye can see. I don't know if it's a formation or what's going on.

After walking for a while, the sound of the water under the bridge gradually became louder, gradually like a waterfall, Yan Jingchen stretched out his head to look under the bridge, only to see the clouds and mist under the bridge, the water vapor was thick, under the illumination of the sun, there seemed to be a colorful rainbow hidden in it, as for the original clear flowing water, it has been submerged in it at this moment, and no trace of it can be seen.

Just as he stretched out his hand to dispel the clouds and mist, to see what was going on, a huge column of water rose from the sky and condensed in the air in the shape of a giant dragon. Yan Jingchen took a few steps back and almost fell.

The dragon only remained in the air for a few breaths, and then vanished. The man in yellow smiled and said, "Under this 'Dragon Bridge', there is a waterfall, and according to legend, there is a true dragon's bone buried under the waterfall, so every once in a while, there will be a dragon-shaped water column rising into the sky. ”

"There really is a true dragon bone, has Senior Brother ever been to the waterfall to explore?" Yan Jingchen asked curiously.

The man in yellow said with some embarrassment: "My realm is low, and I can't go under the waterfall, but I heard from the senior brothers in the door that there is actually a spring under the waterfall, and the water column also gushes out of the spring." ”

The three of them said as they walked, the sound of the roaring water in their ears gradually faded away, and a large hall appeared in front of them, according to Huang Yiman, this is the destination of their trip 'Yang Temple'.

After getting off the 'Dragon Bridge', in the square in front of the Yang Temple, nearly a hundred disciples of the Lu clan had gathered, these people did not have uniform clothing, they gathered together in twos and threes to talk about their cultivation experiences, and the man in yellow brought Yan Jingchen and the two to the square, and immediately people surrounded them.

"Huang Laosan, who are these two kids, why have they never seen them before. A young man in white walked out of the crowd and glanced at the three of them with a haughty expression.

"Back to Senior Brother Li Yang, these two junior brothers are the junior disciples that Elder Qingfeng has just brought in a new entry. The man in yellow said politely.

When the white-clothed young man heard that it was the junior disciple brought by Elder Qingfeng, he quickly changed his polite appearance and said, "It turned out to be an apprentice accepted by Elder Qingfeng, and it is really a fairy journey. ”

Zhang Daohong looked down on this kind of wall grass the most, he didn't even look at Li Yang, turned his head to the side, and didn't hear his compliment. Although Yan Jingchen didn't despise Li Yang's approach, he still greeted him symbolically.

At this moment, the main entrance of the Yang Temple opened, and a middle-aged man walked out of the main hall. When the monks in the square saw it, they knelt down one after another, and Zhang Daohong pulled Yan Jingchen, who was still standing stupidly,

Behind the middle-aged man, six of the twelve Immortal Wind Dao Bone monks stood on either side of the middle-aged man, and among them was the Qingfeng Elder who greeted Yan Jingchen and them.

The middle-aged man's deep voice sounded, "Today, my Lu clan, when I meet a young genius again, I will hold a disciple initiation ceremony, Yan Jingchen and Zhang Daohong, you two will come to the front." ”

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, the man in yellow looked at the two people next to him, Zhang Daohong obviously seemed comfortable with such a scene, he stood up and bowed deeply first, and then walked to the front of the Yang Temple in an orderly manner, and bowed again.

Yan Jingchen learned from Zhang Daohong's appearance, and after completing the process, the two stood in front of the hall.

The middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, the two of you have a long fortune, and your achievements in the future will definitely not be low." Then he turned to the twelve elders and said, "I don't know which of you is willing to take them as disciples." ”

At this time, Qingfeng stood up first and said, "I have a lot of eyes with this Daoist friend Zhang Daohong, and I want to include him in the door, and I also ask the sage to agree." ”

Before Qingfeng's words fell, an old man standing on the left hand side of the middle-aged man spoke: "Qingfeng, you are still young, and it is not yet time to be a teacher, so this little friend should be handed over to the old man and me." ”

For a while, there was chaos in front of the Yang Temple, and five or six elders joined the team to snatch Zhang Daohong, while Yan Jingchen, who was hanging aside, was unattended.

The middle-aged man coughed lightly, suppressed the quarrel of the elders, and said, "Since you all said that you are destined for Zhang Xiaoyou, then let him choose." ”

The middle-aged man looked at Zhang Daohong and motioned to ask what he meant. Zhang Daohong gave a deep salute, the twists and turns in this have not yet been figured out, he didn't dare to offend any of the elders, so he gave the choice back to the middle-aged man, "The sage Lu is on top, and the younger generation has just arrived and asked the sage to appoint a famous teacher for me." ”

Lu Shengren smiled, quite satisfied with Zhang Daohong's question and answer, and then pointed to the old man on the left and said, "Then worship under Elder Lu Fengzhi." ”

Zhang Daohong thanked him again and again, and knelt down in the direction of Lu Fengzhi.

Yan Jingchen looked at the front with firm eyes, waiting for fate to come.
