Chapter 3 The peak master accepts apprentices
What ordinary people call Yuqing Mountain is just a general term. Under the subdivision, Yuqing Mountain can be divided into three mountains and twelve peaks, and the twelve peaks are divided between the three mountains. According to the geographical location, the three mountains are called Yuqing North Mountain, Yuqing West Mountain, and Yuqing East Mountain, among which Yuqing North Mountain is the mainstay, and some important palaces are built in Yuqing North Mountain, such as the Yubei Hall where the head of the family lives.
The twelve peaks are Qiyun Peak, Feifeng Peak, Juhe Peak, Chaoyun Peak, Wangxia Peak, Denglong Peak, Longquan Peak, Baihui Peak, Yuling Peak, Jinyang Peak, Songluan Peak, and Zhongshan Peak. Each peak has a peak master, who is in charge of the affairs of each peak.
The Dao Cliff that Chen Yuan climbed was between that Cloud Peak and Chaoyun Peak.
Qiyun Peak, Qiyun Palace.
On this day, Luo Guanhai, the peak master of Qiyun Peak, was bowing his head in the hall to deal with the affairs of the peak, and suddenly, a long and long bell came into the main hall. Luo Guanhai looked in the direction of the bell, it was the place where the Asking Dao Cliff was located, and with a pinch of his fingers, he figured out the reason, and couldn't help laughing: "The Asking Dao Cliff, which has not been climbed by anyone for decades, is actually climbed today? ”
After that, he stopped the brush in his hand, got up and walked in the direction of the Dao Cliff, and when he came out of the hall, his body turned into a grand light and fled towards the Dao Cliff.
Asking about the top of the cliff, the people in the inner courtyard were attracted by the bells, and gradually gathered around, pointing to the people who kept ringing the bell on the top of the cliff from time to time, and there were many discussions.
"Who's that?"
"I don't know, it looks like I climbed up from the bottom of the cliff. ”
"Climb up from the bottom of the cliff? Immediately, some people didn't believe it, so they casually summoned a sideburn boy and went down the mountain to inquire about the news. After a short time, the Dao Tong came back from a sprint, panting and saying to everyone: "That person is called Chen Yuan, a disciple of the Yuanguan Outer Courtyard, and today he climbed up from the bottom of the cliff of the Dao Dao, and there are dozens of people at the bottom of the cliff as evidence. ”
When everyone heard this, they were all taken aback. You know, this is a cliff, but no one has climbed it in decades. The person who climbed up last time is now a well-known big man in the faction, and now this Chen Yuan has also climbed up from under this Dao cliff, and the future must be bright. So everyone looked at Chen Yuan and couldn't help but feel envious.
Chen Yuan saw that the people were almost there, so he stopped ringing the bell immediately, secretly took out the jade beads from his mouth, wiped them carefully, put them in his arms again, and then found a flat place, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and rested.
After a while, a cry rang out from the crowd,
"The peak master is here! the peak master is here!"
When everyone heard this, they all consciously cleared up from the crowd, made a compilation with both hands, and bent down. When Chen Yuan heard this, his eyes opened, and he looked at it, only to see a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a purple scarf and gossip clothes, walking slowly from the crowd with his back hand.
When Chen Yuan saw this, he was shocked, but he still got up slowly and saluted the Taoist priest in a hurry.
That middle-aged Taoist priest is none other than Luo Guanhai, the peak master of Qiyun Peak!
Before Luo Guanhai met, the young man was relaxed, although his appearance was not outstanding, but there was a degree of atmosphere between his gestures, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, so he waved his hand, dispensed with everyone's etiquette, and asked the young man: "Who are you?
"Disciple Chen Yuan, who is a member of the Yuanguan in the outer courtyard of this sect, is fortunate to climb this Daoist cliff today, ringed the Dao bell, disturbed the peak master Qing Xiu, and hoped to forgive his sins. Chen Yuan bent down again and said modestly.
"It's okay" Luo Guanhai looked at Chen Yuan again, couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Since you have climbed the Dao Cliff, you are naturally qualified to ring this Dao Dao bell." ”
After saying that, Luo Guanhai's figure suddenly moved, and before Chen Yuan could see his figure clearly, he had already come to Chen Yuan's face, grabbed one of Chen Yuan's hands, and then put it between his veins. Chen Yuan only felt that a warm current came from the veins of his hand, wandering all over his body, and with Luo Guanhai's release, the warm current suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Chen Yuan, whether in his previous life or present life, had never been exposed to such things, and he couldn't help but yearn for Naluo's elegant figure of Guanhai, and he made up his mind to cultivate the Tao.
Luo Guanhai frowned slightly, and said unceremoniously: "The mind is not clear, the context is mixed, and the qualifications are inferior!"
The Taoist priests who watched heard it, some people secretly said that it was a pity, and they felt sorry for each other, but some people sneered and waved away, such qualifications, even if they climbed the Daoist cliff and entered the inner courtyard, but it was difficult to open the pulse, and when they reached adulthood, if they couldn't open the pulse, they didn't have to drive down the mountain to be a lecturer!
Chen Yuan didn't expect his qualifications to be so bad, but he was not discouraged, he had already come to this point, and he was already much ahead of the thousands of people who were still studying hard in the outer courtyard. No matter how bad the qualifications are, as long as there is a trace of the possibility of cultivation, Chen Yuan will hold it tightly in his hands and not let it be lost. So Chen Yuan knelt on his knees, bowed here, stood upright, and arched his hand towards Luo Guanhai, "The disciple has studied hard in the temple for four years, and his heart to seek the Tao is very strong, but because of his qualifications, he must not pass the big exam, so he ventures into this cliff...... The disciple is dedicated to the Dao, and he still hopes that the peak master will be fulfilled!"
When the words fell, he bowed heavily on the ground three times.
Seeing this, Luo Guanhai sighed, "The avenue is fifty, the sky is forty-nine, people are one of them, everything between heaven and earth has a glimmer of life, today you have climbed the Dao cliff, then it stands to reason that I will have a chance with you." ”
"You get up, I will allow you to be my famous disciple, if you can open the pulse within a year, then I will accept you as a disciple!"
Everyone was in an uproar, all of them looked at the scene in front of them in shock, and someone was whispering secretly from time to time.
"What, the peak is going to accept him as a disciple?"
"What kind of disciple? ”
"What about the registered disciples, if you can't open the pulse, you don't have to be driven down the mountain!"
"Noise!" Luo Guanhai looked impatiently at the disciples who were whispering, his face was not angry and arrogant, and he frightened everyone to shut up quickly.
"What do you think?" Luo Guanhai asked Chen Yuan again.
Chen Yuan thought about it for a while, to be a helpless person like him, it was still difficult to move an inch in that Yuan Guan, if he entered the inner courtyard in the future, there would be such a peak master to support the mountain, and there would be fewer but many troubles. So I no longer hesitated in my heart, and made a big gift at the moment.
"The disciple is willing. ”
"Okay, good!" Luo Guanhai stroked his beard with one hand and smiled with satisfaction, "This matter has been decided." Then he casually found a disciple and asked him to help Chen Yuan solve the admission affairs.
"Yes!" the disciple commanded in fear.
"Chen Yuan, if you open your pulse within a year, you will come to the Cloud Palace to find me!" After saying this, Luo Guanhai waved his sleeves, turned into a dark light, and fled into the distance.
When Chen Yuan saw such magical powers, he couldn't help but yearn for it, and when he saw the disciple standing on the side who was entrusted by the peak master, he straightened his robe and arched his hand forward: "Dare to ask what this senior brother is called?"
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, my name is Gongsun Yun, you have been accepted as a registered disciple by the peak master, it stands to reason that I should call you a senior brother!" Gongsun Yun stopped again and again, and said embarrassedly.
"Senior brother said that he laughed, how can he just come here for the first time, how dare he trust him?"
Chen Yuan's behavior, words and deeds immediately won the favor of Gongsun Yun, and Gongsun Yun hurriedly said enthusiastically: "Then senior brother is no longer humble, junior brother, I will lead you to the General Affairs Institute to register......
"Good. ”
In front of the Cloud Palace, Luo Guanhai flew from the sky, turned into a human form, stood at the door, and was just about to enter the hall, a loud voice came from behind him.
"Lord Luo Feng, I heard that you asked someone to climb up the cliff, and you also accepted that person as a disciple, I don't know if it's true or not?"
Luo Guanhai turned around and looked, and the person who came was actually Luo Jiugui, the peak master of Chaoyun Peak. Luo Jiugui was dressed in a tattered uniform, with long dirty hair, and a dark black face, which was completely different from Luo Guanhai's clean and tidy image. Luo Guanhai smiled: "It turned out to be you, an old beggar, why, can't I accept a registered disciple?"
Luo Jiugui heard that Luo Guanhai had really accepted a disciple, and whether it was a name or something, he just hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What is this person's qualifications?"
"The mind is unknown, the muscles and veins are blocked, it's terrible!" Luo Guanhai honestly said what he had explored, and this was more important than asking the words of the cliff top.
"With such qualifications, why do you still want to take him as an apprentice?" Luo Jiugui heard this, and a heart in his heart relaxed. It turned out that among the twelve peaks, the disciples of Yunfeng and Chaoyunfeng were the worst, and compared to the other peaks, they were very inferior. Today, Luo Jiugui also heard the bell in his own hall, and couldn't help but be surprised, for fear that Qiyun Peak would have another disciple with high qualifications who would overpower Chaoyun Peak, so he hurriedly came to find out.
"Do you know why this Dao Dao Cliff is called Dao Dao Cliff?" Luo Guanhai heard Luo Jiugui's disdain, and did not answer, but asked about the matter. Seeing that Luo Jiugui was thinking deeply, he continued: "Everyone in the Yuqing Sect knows that there is a Dao Cliff, but few know the meaning of this Dao Cliff. Let's talk about the way to ask, if you want to reach the peak, these three ...... are indispensable"
"Which three?" Luo Jiugui hurriedly asked when he heard this.
"These three are bravery, perseverance, and heart!"
Brave, resolute, heart? Luo Jiugui meditated in his heart, and couldn't help but feel touched.
"If you don't have the courage, how can you climb the Dao Cliff? If you don't have the perseverance, how can you endure the hardships of climbing the cliff? If you don't have the Dao heart, how can you climb to the top and ask?" Luo Guanhai asked three questions in succession, and Luo Jiugui was speechless. "Climbing a cliff is like cultivating the road, if you don't have courage, perseverance, and the heart of the Tao, how can you cultivate the road. In this way, the qualifications are under these three types. ”
"Chen Yuan's son, being able to climb the Dao Cliff shows that he has three kinds of courage, perseverance, and heart, even if his qualifications are a little poor, as long as he can open his pulse, he may not be able to become a mainstay of the sect in the future!
