In late autumn, the early morning of Kunyu Mountain is filled with mist, the autumn insects gradually stop, and bursts of birdsong resound through the valley. In the cool morning breeze, Han Fengge sat cross-legged on the top of Luoyun Peak with his hands dragging his cheeks, staring at the vast sea of clouds in front of him, waiting for the sunrise. Han Fengge hadn't been to the top of Luoyun Peak for a long time to see the sunrise over the sea of clouds.

Yesterday, the master had already informed him and Lu Dafeng that they would officially accept them as apprentices today and pass on the method of introductory cultivation in Kunyu Mountain, which made Han Fengge, who had been on the mountain for more than a year, toss and turn.

Before dawn, Han Fengge got up early in the morning, thinking of pulling his senior brother Lu Dafeng to the peak together, but at this hour, Lu Dafeng was still asleep in the room and did not wake up, so he had no choice but to run to the top of this peak to watch the sea stone to meet the sunrise.

Boredom, Han Fengge took out a peace charm hanging on his chest and a personal collection, which was hand-sewn for him by his mother when he was young. Now that his mother and father are gone, and his home and all the objects that accompanied him have all turned into ashes in that accident, this peace charm that has been kept by himself has become his only connection with his childhood memories. So whenever Han Fengge has something on his mind, he will take it out and take a closer look, thinking about his mother, father and the whole family who were once alive in his mind.

Just as the singer Han Feng was holding the peace charm and his thoughts were flying, a gust of autumn wind blew, the sea of clouds was slight, looking up into the distance, the red glow at the junction of the eastern sky and the sea reflected the sky, and a round of red morning sun had already leaned out of half of his body.

Got up and hid the peace charm close to his body, putting aside the chaotic thoughts in his head, Han Fengge stretched his body facing the morning sun in the autumn wind. A new day has begun, and he will embark on the path of cultivation from today, and I believe that it will not be long before he can learn to go down the mountain and stand in the majestic palace city and ask the big people who once watched the accident and stood by to see the accident why?

When Han Fengge was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard a hurried footstep behind him, and turned his head to see the panting Lu Dafeng standing under the Guanhai Stone and shouting to him: "Little Liuzi, it turns out that you sneaked here, I turned around the mountain for a long time and didn't find your shadow, I'm tired to death." Today, the master officially opened the house to teach us the cultivation exercises, you come down quickly, if you miss the time, it will be another punishment. ”

Han Fengge wiped the tears in his eyes and carefully slid down the boulder, patted the soil on his robe and said, "Senior brother, you sleep like a pig, I woke up in the morning and wanted to call you to watch the sunrise but I couldn't wake up, but now I say that I missed the time, and my skin is really as thick as a city wall." ”

Lu Dafeng also said with an embarrassed face: "Isn't it that I was scared by the reprimand of the master and his old man yesterday, and the master agreed to officially accept us as apprentices, this back and forth was full of surprises, last night naturally I didn't sleep well, and I finally fell asleep in the middle of the night, and I got up later in the morning." Where do you still have the spirit to watch the sunrise of Laoshizi, besides, the master will punish us to help Lingxiufeng's senior sisters do farm work, and you will help me do Lingxiufeng's work together, and I don't have a true affection for you, senior brother. ”

Han Fengge, who was still an ignorant teenager, was suddenly embarrassed by this incomprehensible and unashamed speech, and had no choice but to hurriedly run down the mountain.

The cultivators of the world attach great importance to the matter of accepting apprentices, and even more so, the friendship between master and apprentice is even more important than the family affection of the heirs.

On the one hand, the higher the realm of those who have attained cultivation, the longer their lifespan, and the longer their lifespan is limited by the rules of heaven and earth, the longer the lifespan and the stronger the strength, the more difficult it is to have offspring. Like the mosquitoes, insects, rats and ants in the world, although they multiply very much, their lives are short and humble. And like tigers, leopards and beasts, although they prey on the world's creatures, they only have a few births in their lives. In this way, all things in the world can be biochemical, restrained, and reproduced.

On the other hand, even if they have children, their cultivation talent is not completely inherited from their parents, and it is difficult to pick out a few of the descendants of many great monks who have cultivation talents. Therefore, when the children of a great monk are extraordinarily gifted, they will be regarded as treasures and carefully cultivated. And for those children and grandchildren who have no talent for cultivation, they are often only allowed to be rich and noble but not valued, it is not that the cultivators are unkind, and they really cannot face the situation where the elders are still young and the children and grandchildren are old.

The road of cultivation is long, and mortals can only grow for a hundred years, and the two are far apart, so the one who can accompany him for a long time is often an excellent disciple rather than a son who is related to him by blood.

Of course, being able to accept an excellent disciple is the most important thing in the hearts of all monks, and there are many monks in the world who do not hesitate to travel all over the world in order to find people with outstanding talents. There was also a senior monk who had no hope of breaking through the realm, and met a young man with amazing talent for the Tao, secretly passed on his introductory Taoism, and then became a friend with him to travel the world for a hundred years, looking at his heart to check its quality, and finally openly and honestly accepted it as a person who inherited the Taoist system, and passed it on as a good story.

It can be seen that the importance of a cultivator to his master and apprentice is second only to the avenue under his feet.

And for Kunyu Mountain, such a world-renowned sect is also extremely cautious in the matter of accepting disciples, once every ten years to open the mountain gate, countless people with extraordinary talents in the world flock to the mountain gate in the hope of being selected to enter the mountain gate, from then on the road to the road of immortals can be expected. However, every time after layers of selection, there are only a few who can become disciples.

Now can be regarded as a good year when the wind of cultivation prevails, but there are still very few people who can embark on the path of cultivation, after all, cultivation is not easy, there are only one in ten thousand people who have the talent of cultivation, and there are very few people who have the talent and the opportunity to embark on the path of cultivation. There are also small border countries located in remote areas, and the monks who can be put together by the whole country and the whole country are only a few hands, and it is so difficult to practice one.

In the ancestral hall behind the main hall of Taifeng Peak, the portrait of the patriarch is enshrined in the hall, and the spiritual position of the ancestors of the past dynasties is enshrined below. Kunyu Mountain Sect Leader Yue Songtao and Gu Qingping stood in front of the hall respectively, the masters of each pulse peak were arranged on both sides of the hall, and the disciples of each peak stood neatly outside the door. The formal acceptance of disciples is a major event, and now the masters and disciples of all the veins and peaks in the mountain are all present, which shows the importance that the people of Kunyu Mountain attach to this matter.

Yue Songtao, who was in the hall with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and looked at the sky and said to Gu Qingping: "Senior brother, the auspicious time has come to start." Gu Qingping nodded and said loudly: "Gale and Ge'er come in." ”

At this time, Han Fengge and Lu Dafeng, who had been standing outside the ancestral hall and waiting for a long time, were a little nervous, and when they heard the master calling their names, they hurriedly walked into the hall, knelt in the hall and held their heads high and said, "Master!"

Gu Qingping nodded with a smile to signal that the two of them didn't have to be nervous, and then picked up the three pillars of incense from the front of the incense table in the hall and twisted his fingers gently. Gu Qingping held the twisted three-pillar incense in both hands and bowed three times to the heaven and earth outside the door, and then turned to the portrait of the ancestor enshrined in the hall and the ancestors of the past dynasties and bowed three times, and inserted the incense in his hand in the incense burner and said loudly: "Disciple Gu Qingping, three hundred and seventeen generations of Luoyun Peak Peak Lord, there are registered disciples Lu Dafeng and Han Fengge, the two have been in the mountain gate for more than a year, and they have both moral integrity and ability, and their talents are extraordinary. ”

Kunyu Mountain officially accepted apprentices with three questions, one to ask heaven and earth, two to ask the ancestor, and three to ask the same door. In fact, this question and two questions are just a form of passing motions, but heaven and earth, and the ancestors have spirits, and if they really give birth to some visions, they are naturally not allowed to forcibly accept disciples. What's more important is this last question, asking the same door. If the elders or disciples present really feel that the person who wants to receive is of poor character and has real evidence, they will also not be able to accept it.

After a moment's effort, there was nothing unusual in the hall, and Gu Qingping turned to the people in the hall and the disciples outside the hall and asked, "Do you have any objections?"

Everyone in the hall congratulated Gu Qingping and expressed no objection.

Gu Qingping saw that everyone had no objections, so he turned to Han Fengge and Lu Dafeng and said: "I have six major precepts and mountain rules handed down by my ancestor in Kunyu Mountain: first, you must not betray your master, second, you must not commit disobedience, third, you must not kill each other, fourth, you must not bully, fifth, you must not make friends with evil, and sixth, you must not cause misery. Are you two willing to obey the rules and enter my mountain gate?"

Han Fengge and the two said in unison: "The disciple is willing to follow the master's left and right, listen to the master's teachings and abide by the door rules." ”

Gu Qingping nodded and smiled: "Okay, now you can go and incense your ancestor." ”

Han Fengge and the others got up and walked to the incense case, took out three pillars of incense respectively, lit the candle on the case, and then bowed three times to the portrait of the ancestor and the ancestral shrine, and inserted the incense into the incense burner.

Just when Han Fengge was offering incense, he looked up carefully at the portrait of the patriarch hanging in the hall, and the portrait was painted of a young woman, that is, Patriarch Pei of Kunyu Mountain. In the painting, a towering mountaintop, but if you look closely, it is not the peaks on Kunyu Mountain, the woman stands under a giant tree and looks at the clouds with her back to everyone, her long skirt fluttering green silk flying, the left knife and the right sword, the sword is staggered and suspended from the waist. Just when Han Fengge was distracted, he seemed to see the female ancestor in the painting turn his head and glance at him. In a trance, Han Fengge couldn't see her face clearly, but he could clearly see those eyes, a pair of eyes full of joy and satisfaction that contained the sun, moon and stars. At the same time, a crisp girl's voice sounded above Han Fengge's heart lake: "You are finally back." ”

After a moment of trance, there was no abnormality, Han Fengge hurriedly saluted the portrait again, and then retreated to the hall.

After Han Fengge and the others finished the incense, they saluted the apprentice tea, which can be regarded as a ceremony.

In the Sword House of Luoyun Peak, Gu Qingping summoned Lu Dafeng and Han Fengge to his front and said, "You two will be my fifth and sixth disciples of Gu Qingping in the future." A few senior brothers before you, Yu'er cultivated for the Tao is extraordinary, humble and benevolent, Fei'er's swordsmanship far surpasses his peers, although he is cold and doesn't speak much on weekdays, but he is a person who attaches great importance to friendship in his bones, although the third white ape is not as good as Yu'er and Fei'er, but he is also a leader in his generation and has a simple temperament, you four senior brothers。。。。。。 ”

Just as Gu Qingping said that Du Zhaoqian, the fourth elder of the trouble, his words were stunned, and he really couldn't find anything worth learning about this disciple who was usually the most unruly, flamboyant, and extremely good at drinking, but cultivated as a really extraordinary disciple, so he had to sigh and said: "Hey, you two just have to learn more from your first three senior brothers on weekdays, and you can expect to cultivate your mind and cultivate virtue diligently, don't learn from your Senior Brother Du like that." ”

Speaking of this, Du Zhaoqian, the fourth child, was still standing by the hall, and his face was really embarrassed, so he had to scratch his head and act as if he didn't care at all.

In fact, Gu Qingping still has some expectations for this fourth-ranked disciple in his heart, this Du Zhaoqian is just like this, although he is not informal on weekdays and often does some ridiculous bastard things, but he has a clear distinction between good and evil, and never crosses the thunder pool by half a step, and his talent is not equal to his own big disciples, and his cultivation is often a matter of course. It's just that these two little disciples have been on the mountain for more than a year, and the senior brothers on the mountain all know each other, Lu Dafeng and Du Zhaoqian are similar, and the two have already privately regarded each other as if they were like-minded confidants. Although he, Gu Qingping, didn't mind having one more nonsense disciple, he couldn't help but discipline him, after all, the disciple was more serious and well-behaved, and the master was also worry-free and effort-saving.

Of course, Lu Dafeng and Han Fengge knew the deep meaning of Master's words, and the two of them nodded and said, "Please rest assured, Master, the disciple must practice diligently and be strict with himself." ”

Gu Qingping nodded and smiled, no matter what happens in the future, he is indeed very relieved at this time, and he took two mutton fat jade plates from the desk with both hands and gave them to the two of them: "This jade plate is the identity certificate of my Kunyu Mountain disciple, and the jade plate contains the unique cultivation method Kunyu Recipe, you two must protect it properly." ”

Han Fengge took the jade card in his hand and looked left and right, the jade card material is rare, it seems that the mutton fat jade is not such a mundane thing in the world, he has heard the brothers say that the ancestors of Kunyu Mountain have traveled to the East China Sea and accidentally found a secret treasure 10,000-year-old undersea cold jade vein, at that time, all parties competed, and the female ancestor surnamed Pei of Kunyu Mountain shocked the heroes with her cultivation and decisive killing skills, and finally made this coveted vein fall into the name of Kunyu Mountain, and this jade plate is refined by the cold jade on the bottom of the sea, and the same material as the white jade square in front of the Taiyu Palace, but the quality is better, very precious。 The jade plaque is engraved on both sides, one is Kunyu and the other is Luoyun, indicating the identity of the disciple of Kunyu Mountain who holds this jade plaque.

Gu Qingping saw that the two of them looked left and right, but they couldn't figure it out, and said: "The cultivators of the world take the absorption of the aura of heaven and earth as the basis to understand the way of heaven and improve the realm, and the cultivation realm is divided into fifteen layers from low to high: enlightenment, acceptance, foundation, dragon gate, sea viewing, Jindan, centering, Yuanying, condensation, transformation of gods, return to the yuan, Qianyuan, ascending immortals, turning saints, and immortals. The first threshold on the path of cultivation and the first realm of the foundation of entry is the realm of "enlightenment", which means that the spiritual consciousness is opened, and the world and all things are viewed. The two of you are still calm, and you try to find out the mystery with your heart and mind. ”

Gu Qingping watched the two disciples close their eyes and meditate to comprehend the jade plaque in their hands, nodded and smiled. He naturally knew that it was not difficult to enlighten with the natural qualifications of his two disciples, so he said: "The jade plate has been refined by the secret method of this sect, even if you have no spiritual power to cultivate at the moment, you can still communicate with your mind, and the jade card will remember your divine soul by itself, and it will not be able to be looked at by others at will in the future, unless the other party's cultivation is extremely advanced before the ban can be forcibly broken." Please remember that what is recorded in it is the foundation of the sect, and you must not pass on the exercises to outsiders without the permission of the sect. ”

When Han Fengge heard this, he immediately calmed down and put his mind and mind on the jade plate in his hand, and his mind was like a clear spring flowing, and he suddenly felt refreshed. A blue light flashed, and an old and gentle voice sounded in his head: "When you open your eyes, you will feel that the world is wide, and the forest does not know the cold and heat!" After the voice dissipated, there were dense small characters listed on a green and jade-colored light curtain, which was a song and the root of the cultivation of Kunyu Mountain: "Close your eyes and sit down, hold and meditate on God." Knock on the teeth thirty-six, and hold Kunlun with both hands. The drums of the sky are sounded left and right, and the twenty-four degrees are heard. Swinging the pillar of heaven slightly, the red dragon stirs the water and ......"

The song recipe in the jade plaque is the unique method of meditation and qi refining in Kunyu Mountain, and the two of them were intoxicated by this practice for the first time, and they didn't feel that time flew by in the blink of an eye, and it was dusk.

Gu Qingping saw that the two of them were immersed in the mantra of the exercises, so he interrupted loudly: "The trip to the Great Dao is not overnight, and it is even more important to avoid quick success. The two of you can go back to the room today to understand carefully, and tomorrow you will be the teacher to take you to Yanxia Pavilion. ”

As soon as Han Fengge and the others heard that the master was going to take them to the Yanxia Pavilion tomorrow, they were even more excited, Kunyu knew that the Yanxia Pavilion on the Yanxia Peak contained all kinds of magic weapons and spirit swords, and they didn't know if they would choose that treasure, or be selected by that treasure, so they immediately saluted: "Master, the apprentice will go back and practice diligently." ”

Gu Qingping stroked his beard and smiled, and said in his heart: The journey of the avenue is a long way to go, and I hope they will not forget this original intention in the future.
