Chong Xuan slowly opened his eyes, and the senior brother was standing beside him, and he was suddenly surprised.

He took a deep breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to Wuchen slowly: "Senior brother, I seemed to be talking with my ancestor and his old man in the backyard just now, why am I still here?"

Wuchen was also a little surprised when he heard it, but the time was approaching, and it was too late to elaborate.

The Tai Chi Plaza is full of guests, and the ceremony is about to begin.

The disciples of high seniority are waiting outside the cave where the master is retreating in the back mountain, but Chong Xu, as the head of the family, meditates in the Yuxu Palace, which is unreasonable.

This should be known to the people of the rivers and lakes, and it is necessary to say that Wudang is empty-eyed and is talked about.

Chong Xuan hurriedly got out of bed, tidied up his appearance, and went out of the door with Senior Brother Wuchen.

At this time, all Taoist temples and pavilions in Wudang were guarded by disciples.

Wuchen and Chongxu were followed by a few apprentices, and they talked as they walked, and Chongxu whispered what had just happened to Senior Brother Wuchen.

When Senior Brother Wuchen heard this, he immediately stopped. said to the master: "Since the old man has spoken, let's go directly to the square and wait." ”

"But brother, that seems to be something in my dream. Chong Xuan was a little puzzled.

"Haha", Wuchen laughed more than once: "Senior brother, you should go to the square with me, if we don't do what the master wants, I'm afraid we will make him angry, you know his old man's temper." Besides, there is no one in the square to greet VIPs now, and I am afraid that if it is spread out, I will be rude to the world. ”

Chong is half-convinced, and the ancestor goes out of the customs and does not go to greet him, isn't it a great disrespect to his old man?

While hesitating, Wuchen whispered to the void.

After hearing this, Chong Xuan suddenly realized and was overjoyed.

So, he instructed: "Disciple, you go and ask the deacon of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, Elder Xuan Sizi, and ask him to welcome the master out of the customs on his behalf, and you will dispatch him for him." If the master has an order, it should be transmitted as soon as possible, and there must be no mistake. ”

The little apprentice behind Chong Xu, after receiving the order, immediately went straight to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.

It is said that this little disciple came to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion and heard that Elder Xuan Sizi had gone to the back mountain, so he immediately used light skills to go to the back mountain to catch up. At this moment, he had only one thought, to meet Elder Xuan Sizi before Elder Xuan Sizi arrived at the back mountain.

Chongxu Daoist and Wuchen came to Taiji Square together.

At this time, the square was already full of guests. Representatives of the various gates of Wulin, as well as local officials, dignitaries, some important pilgrims of Wudang, gentry and others have already gathered, and the huge square has long been crowded, only the entrance is vacant, Wudang disciples are guarding here, and the venue is in order.

Seeing that the head of Chongxu had arrived, the representatives of the various sects got up to salute Chongxu, and Chongxu and Wuchen returned the salute one by one, and greeted people from all walks of life.

The head of the Chongxu Dao came just now, in front of the Taishi chair in the middle of the venue, which was specially prepared for the master, and he was even more sure that the master would not be present at this time.

Senior Brother Elder Yichen was already here, and it was he who greeted the guests just now. Seeing that he had made such meticulous and thoughtful arrangements, he couldn't help but praise in a low voice: "Senior brother, it's hard work!

"The senior brother in charge has a reputation, and this is the responsibility of the senior brother. Elder Yichen replied.

Chong Xuan nodded, brushing off his beard, and called the Qingyun Great Disciple.

Qingyun motioned for his disciples to beat the big drums on both sides, and the square suddenly fell silent.

Chong laughed and said to the square: "Friends from martial arts, guests from all walks of life, I have to wait patiently." The ancestor is about to leave the customs, and his old man instructed me to wait for my brothers and sisters to entertain all the heroes and heroes, and he will not attend this grand ceremony at that time. ”

As soon as Chong Xu's words fell, the surrounding discussions rang out.

Everyone was discussing: Why didn't this real person attend? He came all the way to see Zhang Zhenren's demeanor, what was the situation? The sound of conversation came and went, and there was a slight commotion in the venue for a while.

Chong Xuan hurriedly waved his hand to everyone, and then said loudly: "Master Ancestor, his old man, for the fair selection of apprentices, although he will not attend, but will personally select the best." At that time, we will observe the performance of everyone from afar, so please be calm. ”

The square gradually quieted down, and groups of three or five people exchanged their heads and whispered about each other.

The sound of the void was like a bell, and the masters of all factions in the square could feel his pure internal force, and they couldn't help but be solemn.

Chong Xuan continued: "Xiuzhen is looking for the immortal road, and asks Wudang Mountain. Since ancient times, Wudang Mountain has been regarded as a sacred place for cultivation. The way of Huang Lao has a long history. Since the founding of the sect by the ancestor Zhang Zhenren, thanks to the emperor's grace, and all the martial arts colleagues, heroes and heroes have helped each other, and all pilgrims and donors have generously donated money, it has stood in the martial arts for more than 100 years. For more than 100 years, between pitching, the white horse passed through the gap. Wudang up and down, did not dare to forget the teachings of the ancestors. Martial arts and self-cultivation. Enlightenment is attainable, and heaven and man are one. Today, our sect recruits disciples again, aiming to carry forward the martial spirit of our Chinese people, inherit the essence of Taoist martial arts, and contribute to the martial arts. ”

The Taoist made an impassioned speech, and the inside and outside of the venue calmed down.

Chongxu and all the brothers beckoned people from all walks of life to sit down, and then went to each gate to explain one by one.

At this time, Master Hu was dressed in civilian clothes and sat aside, and his seat was close to the main seat. I wanted to take advantage of Zhang Zhenren's exit to convey the will of the saints, but Zhang Zhenren didn't come to the scene, how could this be good?

Although he was a little anxious, Master Hu still sat firmly on the chair, his face expressionless, just staring at the crowd in the square.

Chong Xuan first came to Lord Hu, smiled and explained, Lord Hu got up and grabbed Chong Xu's robe: "Head Chongxu, you know the purpose of this official's trip." Now you say that Zhang Zhenren is not coming, this is called how the official can reply to the saint. Chong Xu, you can save this official. ”

Chong Xu has felt the apprehension and anxiety in Lord Hu's heart, Lord Hu is the minister of the central government and the secret envoy of the Holy Lord, Wudang does not dare to offend.

But the ancestor has already instructed, so he can only tell him clearly: "Lord Hu, Wudang is up and down, and he will never dare to disobey the court, let alone despise the saint." It's just that the ancestor is old, and he is dedicated to returning to the Tao and doesn't like mundane things. But the ancestor specially asked me to wait for the good students to entertain the adults, and at the same time, I also asked the adults to show the saints, and when the opportunity came, the ancestors should personally meet the holy driver, and share the worries and solve problems for the lord. After a while, the ancestor will pass down the handwritten letters. At that time, I will also bother the Lord to turn it to the Holy Lord. To tell the truth, after the master finished selecting his apprentices, he immediately traveled to the fairy meeting. ”

Although Lord Hu was slightly displeased, he was still patiently dissatisfied. At least Zhang Zhenren passed down the word, and there was a letter to submit, and he was easy to deal with.

Chong said with a false smile: "My lord doesn't have to worry, the ancestor specially dedicated his consecrated sword to the saint, this sword is what my ancestor wears with him, and the saint only needs to hang this sword in the northeast corner of the court, so as to avoid a disaster." If you wear it with you, you can avoid disturbing your soul. ”

After speaking, he took out a peachwood sword and offered it with both hands. Although this wooden sword is a little old, there are some charms densely engraved on it, and although Master Hu is puzzled, he still takes it. I thought: You are too deceitful in Wudang, and you have to fool your own officials with a broken sword, and even more so you have to fool the saint, aren't you afraid that the saint will blame you?

Chong Xuan looked at Lord Hu with a suspicious face, and said in a low voice: "Lord Hu, Wudang has prepared some special products, and Lord Lao is tired to dedicate them to the saint." ”

After speaking, Chong Xuan saluted again, and whispered: "Please also ask your lord to say a lot of kind words in front of the Holy Lord." ”

Master Hu paused for a moment, it seems that he will not be able to see a real person on this trip. He thought for a moment and replied, "Okay, this official will intercede in front of the Holy Lord again." I also hope that the head of the house will convey the Holy Lord's thirsty mood to the real person. Even if the saint kills this official, it is not a pity, but he will definitely send someone to beg for the cleanliness of the mountain gate. ”

Chong Xuan smiled and said: "My lord is too worried, my ancestor has a saying, my lord will return to Beijing this time, and he will be safe." Adults, please take a seat. ”

At this time, in the retreat place of the real person, two disciples with extremely deep internal skills were guarding in front of the door, and all the disciples were waiting outside the door.

The bell rang, but the laughter like a bell was heard, and all the disciples were very happy, and said in unison: Welcome the master out of the customs.

"Haha......" bells, laughter, accompanied by the sound of the door opening, walked out of the door a kind old man, full of white hair, long beard, white eyebrows.

The elder is a little thin, with a majestic figure, dressed in a white robe, holding a white whisk in his hand, giving people a sense of transcendence, the mountains are looking up, elegant like a fairy, and they feel peaceful and kind.

He is Zhang Zhenren. The martial arts warriors of the same generation have long been ancient, but the real people have gone through the change of dynasties, and the rivers and lakes are thriving, becoming more and more robust and elegant.

Facing his many proud disciples, Zhang Zhenren seemed to be in a particularly happy mood, and said with a smile: "All the disciples are exempt, how is the preparation for the ceremony?"

At this time, an old man, who was a little short, raised his head and put down his hand, and replied respectfully: "Master Yu, the head of Chongxu, Elder Wuchen and Elder Yichen are already in the square to welcome people from all walks of life. My disciples have also been arranged to guard the passes of Wudang Mountain, and everything is prepared according to the rules of the early years. Several masters of Kunlun, Shushan, Zhongnan Mountain, Zen Buddhism, and Penglai have been waiting for their masters on the mountain. ”

The real person thought for a while, stroked his beard and said: "All the disciples perform their duties in the retrospective, Xuan Sizi, Yuan Tianzi, go with the mountain people to meet a few masters." ”

All the disciples bowed to their ancestors and said goodbye.

"Tongde stayed. The real person laughed again.

Tongde said: "What else does the master have to tell the disciples?"

Tongde looked at Shigong's eyes, thought for a while, and said: "Shigong rest assured, all the passes in the forbidden place of the back mountain are guarded by disciples, and the purity of the back mountain will never be disturbed during the ceremony." When the master returns to the mountain to rest, the disciple will come back to explain in detail. ”

"Oh, then you can go back. The real person smiled and said to himself: "On the contrary, I am in a hurry, but unfortunately time is short." ”

Xuan Sizi, Yuan Tianzi, the two of them were closer to the ancestor, and they were also confused after hearing it.

Watching Tongde gradually walk away, the real person's expression seemed to be a little dignified.

At this time, there was a boy standing behind Xuan Sizi and Yuan Tianzi, slightly older than Xuan Sizi, but he bowed his head and was silent, his face was flushed, and he just stood quietly.

When the real person saw this, he was not curious, but also funny. He said, "Little guy, why are you still standing here?"

Xuan Sizi looked back and muttered to himself, why is this stupid boy still here. Squeezed his eyes at him and motioned for him to leave.

"Patriarch, the disciple's common name is Jing Yan, and he is a newly accepted apprentice of the head of the family, and there is no Taoist name yet. The master ordered me to wait for the patriarch here, and if the patriarch commanded me, the master would do as your old man wanted. With that, his face turned even redder.

"Oh, there's nothing wrong with this ancestor here, you go and hand over this letter to Chongxu. If something happens, the mountain people will send someone to give instructions. ”

"According to the will of the patriarch, the disciple will go back and tell the master. Jing Yan took the secret letter from Xuan Sizi's hand, and turned around after giving a salute.

The real person took the two little disciples and went to the first-line peak.

The little apprentice remembered what the master had explained, turned back halfway, and asked the patriarch for advice, but he saw ......
