Chapter 4: A Bad Omen

Although there is also a crazy Zhang at home that he doesn't like, Yan Yi often brings the puppies to play at home. At first, Zhang Madman ignored it, and sometimes teased the two children.

It's just that once, when the dog cub performed a "trick" to Yan Yi, Zhang Luozi suddenly became angry, and even pushed the dog out of the door with a heavy hand.

It was also from that day on, not long after the puppy left his house, that Maniac Zhang suddenly stopped going crazy and became very serious, constantly asking about the whereabouts of the pups.

Of course, Yan Yi wouldn't tell him. At that time, Yan Yi still hated Zhang Maniac very much, the dog cub was his friend, he actually wanted to kill him, that was what he couldn't tolerate, for a moment, he wanted to strangle Zhang Maniac to death, until one day he found that Zhang Maniac died violently by the river, he found that he didn't have a trace of happiness about it, but more horror, not the panic of a young heart facing death, an inexplicable emotion has been coiling in his heart for many days.

To this day, he hasn't figured out why Madman Zhang wants to attack the pups, and why Madman Zhang died, whether he hates Madman Zhang or not.

In addition to these, he also had many questions in his heart: whether his mother was dead or alive, whether his father had a trace of remorse, whether he felt a trace of guilt? He had thought about these questions more than once, but he could not come up with an answer. He used to think that as he got older, he might be able to understand some of them, but he didn't! Every time he met any of them, other things would come flooding in, opening his memory box again and again.

The next day, the sun was shining, the sky was cloudless, it was really a good day, no wonder Tianyun Mountain chose the ten-year recruitment day on this day. The oriental sunlight is dazzling, looking at the majestic Tianyun Mountain in the distance, and the Caoyang Palace stands in the clouds, straight into the clouds.

This is the place where the disciples of Tianyun Mountain cultivate. Because the mountain is high, it has the tendency to be adjacent to the sky, so it is called Tianyun Mountain. Tianyun Mountain, composed of ninety-nine eighty-one large and small peaks, the main peak Jiuxiao is located in the center of the group of peaks, and the remaining eighty peaks of different sizes are surrounded by the main peaks in the form of eight seals.

Tianyun Mountain has experienced thousands of years of reincarnation, and its reputation is getting bigger and bigger, and everyone in the world knows about it, but whenever there are demons and monsters, as long as they see Tianyun Mountain disciples, people can feel comfortable.

Caoyang Palace: Located on the peak of Jiuxiao Peak, it is divided into four districts, one area is the Qingjing Hall in the center, there are seven frames and six rooms and twelve zhang, open the hall house, and the central lobby is made a layer of eight sealing platforms. Put a large incense burner in Taichung, the incense burner is five feet high, and the incense burns continuously. There are three rooms on the east side, west side and south side, and the rooms have windows. Bow to His Highness in the south.

The north side of the Qingjing Hall is the Lingbao Hall of the second district, there are seven rooms, the east is the upper yang room, and the west is the lower moon room. The west of the Qingjing Palace, for the pure void hall, is the place where the female disciples start and rest, ten zhang away from the hall, and close to the south gate, five doorways are built here, exclusively for the female travelers to live temporarily. The Absolute Dust Hall is located in the east of the Qingjing Palace, the two halls are far apart, and there are more than ten rooms.

There is a big altar in front of the door of the palace of Caoyang, the altar is built high in the god platform, the god cloud tripod green smoke curls, the holy breath is continuous, with the tripod as the center, thirty zhang away, the four corners stand the green dragon and white tiger and the red bird Xuanwu four divine pillars, the divine pillar is ancient brown, the divine beast squats on the top of the column, shocks the Quartet. Directly in front of the altar is the Bitter Sea Cliff, and a small stone path winds from the bottom of the Bitter Sea Cliff to the Caoyang Palace, which is the only way for mortals to enter the Caoyang Palace.

Enter the gate of Caoyang Palace, go straight is the Qingjing Palace, the Qingjing Hall is a place for people to worship, the murals on the wall, although there is falling off, but the content is still clearly visible, especially the portrait of Lao Tzu, the most eye-catching, vivid, the hair on it seems to be blown up by the wind.

The east side of the Qingjing Hall is the Absolute Dust Palace, which is originally the resting place of Qingning, Qingzhi, Qingyuan, Qingxu and the master Yuan Zhen Dao Chief, but in recent years, the four Dao Masters often retreat and cultivate, so they are empty. This hall is in a deep and secluded place, with dense trees and winding paths. The male disciples all live in the Lingbao Hall, while the female disciples live in the Pure Void Hall, which is also the most beautiful place. In front of the side hall, there is a huge garden, planted with some strange flowers and plants brought back when all kinds of people travel around the world.

A lot of divine flowers and fairy grasses are planted in the backyard of the Lingbao Palace, some are used as medicines, and some are used to subdue demons and subdue demons.

The backyard is against the mountain, there is a small stone path leading to the Absolute Dust Palace, this path is paved with small stones, out of the backyard of the Lingbao Palace, it does not take a few steps to enter the bamboo forest, through the bamboo forest, you can see a small stream.

On the other side of the creek is the Absolute Dust Temple, and the Soul Leaving Tower lives in the middle of the stream. It is said to be a tower, but it is actually like a tree, and the tree is also full of leaves, flowers and fruits of various colors.

The Soul Leaving Tower floats in the middle of the stream, often filled with smoke and looming. The inside are all the demons and monsters captured by the disciples of Tianyun Mountain, and after experiencing the cleansing of the soul, when the evil is eradicated and the heart is as good as water, you can be reincarnated as a human. And whether they have been cleansed of their sins and can be reincarnated can be known from their position on the tree.

Generally, the little monsters that have just been caught are just young shoots, if they can be well transformed in the Soul Leaving Tower, and cultivate their bodies, they can grow into leaves, and then slowly become flowers, and then become fruits, and wait until the day when the sins are cleared away, that is, the day they are ripe and falling, then they can pass through the small stream, flow to the Lechuan River, cross the Nai He Bridge, and they can be reborn.

Of course, this is only the majority of the demons and demons who are not deeply involved in the world can complete this procedure, but there are some filths full of evil, and after a long time, they have not been able to wash off the dirt on their bodies, and finally they can only rot on the Soul Leaving Tower.

There is another one, which is the last thing that the disciples of Tianyun Mountain want to happen. The demon who is quite profound, he didn't want to be reincarnated, but he didn't want to rot, he just wanted to see the day again, for this, Tianyun Mountain could only use a spell to seal the Soul Separation Tower, and prevent them from coming out to harm the world.

There are also demons who suddenly encounter accidents on the way to reincarnation, and then escape from the underworld and return to the human world. Not all who escape will be recaptured. Three years ago, the bald old demon that escaped could not be caught, no one knew where it had fled, and even the Yuan Zhen Dao Master, who had the highest spell at that time, could not catch its trace.

The Soul Leaving Tower has always been guarded, even if it is as lively as today, it is still arranged for people to keep an eye on it. Today, it has been ten years since the last recruitment, and everyone is looking forward to it and attaches great importance to it.

The ceremony was about to begin, and the hall remained quiet and solemn. Looking at the immature and energetic faces, Qingxu's wrinkled old face couldn't help but show a kind smile. He cleared his throat and was about to say a few words, but was interrupted by Qing Ning, who was galloping in.

"Not good!" Qingning Daoist walked into the main hall quickly, his expression flustered, ignoring that this was the festive day for Tianyun Mountain to select new disciples, and directly interrupted Qingxu Daoist who was about to give a speech to the new disciples, "It's not good, senior brother!"
