At the beginning of November every year, a group of new disciples will be ushered in in Ranjing Mountain, after several years of hard practice, they are only one step away from condensing qi into pills, and they are finally selected by various disciplines, and have the opportunity to become real Taoists of Ranjing Mountain, but the people who cherish this opportunity the most will also take a short time to wander around the mountain once or twice, recognizing the portal everywhere.

The curiosity of the girl Xiaohao is heavier than anyone else, and in the first three days, she traveled all over the smooth and mirror-like Jingjing Mountain, only a few forbidden areas could not enter, and there were fewer and fewer like-minded partners, and on the fourth day, she was left alone and still wandering around, but at this time she could only revisit the old place.

The large green wood forest to the south was one of her favorite places to go, and she was intoxicated by the faint aroma of the place, and although the Taoist would offer a richer five-section green wood balm, she felt that the original taste was more to her liking.

It was here that she met a strange Taoist priest who had no body but a lonely head.

Xiao Hao was startled at first, and then laughed again, "I've heard of you, you are a lone-headed Taoist priest from Pang Mountain." ”

The lone-headed Taoist priest bit a thick leaf stalk in his mouth, his childlike face was full of disappointment, he sighed long and spit out the leaf stalk, "It's really boring, even the new Taoist priest is not afraid of me, alas, when will I be able to leave here." ”

"The first time I saw you, I was actually quite scared. Xiao Artemisia said seriously, in order to comfort his head, he still made a little frightened expression on his face, "But I've heard of you before, and I've been prepared." ”

"Are you really scared at first glance?" the head asked.

Xiao Hao nodded, and suddenly came up with an idea, "I have two senior sisters, who are also new Taoist priests, they practice every day, and they don't hear anything outside the window, as if they have never heard of you, you can scare them." ”

The bald man's eyes lit up all at once. felt that this little girl was really a rare confidant, "Go, go now." ”

This is how the two became friends, and by the time Xiaohao's two senior sisters were frightened and screamed, this friendship was already unbreakable.

This year, Xiao Hao was fifteen years old, and the bald man was always eleven years old, and he had lived in Ranjing Mountain for five years, during which he only went out once, and was taken to Asan by Sun Yulu to wash his mark.

Less than a month after entering the Ranjing Mountain, Xiaohao successfully condensed into a pill. This surprised everyone who knew her, she was only selected by the lamp and candle department in the last round, everyone thought that she would have to go down the mountain in disgrace after less than half a year, but she didn't expect to go down the mountain in disgrace, only a few days later than the earliest disciple of Ning Dan.

There were also quarrels between friends, the bald man missed Pang Shan, and once praised Pang Shan as unique during a chat, Xiao Hao retorted with a smile: "No, Pang Shan is simple." I went there once a few years ago, and it was far worse than Chaojing Mountain, but Yangshen Peak was a bit interesting......"

"Pang Shan was not like this before. The bald man's voice became sharp, although it was a friend. He also doesn't like to listen to Xiao Artemisia say bad things about Pang Mountain, "In the past, there were towering trees and phoenix birds in the old ancestral peak...... Have you seen the unicorn? There are not many iron unicorns in the whole world, and there is one called a flea. Familiar with me, mention my name and it will make you touch your head......"

Artemisia shook her head. She didn't see the Qilin, she only saw an ordinary mountain peak, with very few traces of spells, thick snow everywhere, the weather was cold, and it was very uncomfortable, "I heard that the Old Ancestor Peak was destroyed by the demon clan five years ago, and many Pangshan Taoist priests died, and now you Pangshan can't even make up the ten branches, almost all of them are the Five Elements Sect." Moreover, there is only Grandmaster Pang Shan in the Nine Great Dao Sect who is not in the realm of infusion ......"

"Shen Jixian is only an acting grandmaster, and when we elect a real grandmaster, it will definitely be higher than the realm of Zhushen. The bald man blushed, although the strength of the Dao system is not as good as the generation of generations, but there has never been a grandmaster below the Divine Essence, "And we have the Taoist Priest of the Divine Essence, Zuo Liuying is, he just refuses to be a grandmaster." ”

Xiao Artemisia pursed her lips, no matter which aspect she compared, she still felt that Ranjing Mountain was stronger, at least every qiē here had a strong Taoist color, and even the sunset was more beautiful and soft than Pang Mountain.

The bald man found that Xiao Hao was not convinced, and added: "Our Pangshan will soon have another Divine Daoist, and he can also ascend to the realm of Serving the Moon Mang, just like the ancestor, in a few years, he will be the only Taoist priest of the Nine Great Dao Sect." ”

"Ha, I know that Zuo Liuying is a genius, but Pang Shan has withered, everyone says that there is no three or five hundred years, Pang Shan will not be able to recover his strength, how can another Divine Daoist appear soon?"

"Yes. The bald man said categorically, "Brother Xiao Qiu will definitely become a Taoist priest." ”

"Brother Xiaoqiu, is that the person you often talk about?"

"Yes, it's him, the big name is Mu Xingqiu, and the people in Broken Flow City call him General Mu, he has a lot of stories, and he can't finish it in a few days...... By the way, he also saved you Ranjing Mountain once, and it was also five years ago......"

Xiao Hao vaguely heard that Ranjing Mountain had encountered a catastrophe five years ago, and even the current grandmaster was elected at that time, but no one mentioned the details, and the Taoist priests of Ranjing Mountain were more willing to talk about the great change in Pangshan.

"Tell me about it. ”

Storytelling is one of the bald man's several hobbies, especially Brother Xiaoqiu's story is his favorite, it is difficult to find a patient audience in Chaojing Mountain, held back for five years, and finally waited for the opportunity to vent, so he started from the beginning, "At that time, Brother Xiaoqiu was not yet ten years old, so he secretly married Mr. Qin's daughter......

The story was told for ten days, an hour every day, and the more Xiao Hao listened to it, the more she relished it, but she didn't believe it all, especially the fact that a traitor killed the previous generation of grandmasters in Ranjing Mountain, and she had never heard a word of rumors.

Xiao Hao went to ask her protector, it was a cold lamp and candle swallowing Taoist, always silently supervising her practice, and she may not say a word for a few days, she only had one attitude towards the curiosity of the new disciple, "Don't be nosy, meditate and practice." ”

Cultivation is very important, Xiao Hao knows, but she can't calm down, Mu Xingqiu's name has taken root in her mind, she doesn't believe that a breathing Taoist priest can do so many great things, and after doing it, he is still unknown in the Dao system, no one mentions him in Chaojing Mountain, and during her short stay in Pang Mountain, she has never heard anyone mention this name.

"You're lying, Mu Xingqiu's story is all made up, right?" A few days later, Artemisia ran to the green wood forest again, and said this as soon as she saw the bald man.

"I swear with the only head I have left, if there is a lie in the story I tell...... Well, maybe a sentence or two...... If there is one thing that is not true. I'll tell you to pull out all my hair. ”

This is a strict oath for the bald man, and Xiao Hao believed it a little, "You said that Mu Xingqiu was practicing in Chaojing Mountain, and you took me to see him, I have to see him with my own eyes and listen to him with my own ears before I can fully believe it." ”

"This ......" The bald man was embarrassed, and seeing the disdain on Xiao Hao's face increase, he said, "Okay, I'll take you to see Brother Xiao Qiu, but you have to wait a few months." Brother Xiao Qiu is always in retreat, only coming out for a few days every summer. Alas, I had known this, I shouldn't have insisted on staying in Chaojing Mountain in the first place, how good it would be to go back to Pangshan with my wife. But I'm not here, Brother Xiaoqiu will feel lonely after he gets out of the customs. ”

Since then, Xiao Hao has had a heart, the winter of Chaojing Mountain is as warm as spring and the scenery is beautiful, but she is looking forward to the coming of winter to spring, and her mood is so urgent that it even affects her cultivation.

After an unexpected interruption in memory. Her protector warned: "You have too many things to worry about, your attention is always inattentive, it is a miracle to be able to condense your qi into a pill, and it is great to ascend to the triple level of inhalation." If you continue to practice, it will not only be difficult, but it may also be dangerous. It's better to stop practicing earlier, anyway, you have Neidan. Can be a useful handyman. ”

"I feel like I've chosen the wrong department, and the candle department isn't the right fit for me. "Artemisia loves to laugh and chat, and once in a while she is serious. No one knows if she's joking, or if she's still mocking.

The defender's face changed slightly, "Eighteen Branches of the Dao System, Seven Branches of Chaotic Jing Mountain, which one do you think you are suitable for?"

Xiao Hao didn't notice the other party's annoyance, and said in a more serious tone: "Nian Xinke." ”

The protector's face sank, he didn't say anything, he left on his own, and he didn't appear again for a few days after that, Xiao Hao simply practiced alone, and even brought the bald man into his own memory room, "You are a Taoist priest, but can you practice without a body?"

"I don't have to practice. The bald man opened his mouth wide in triumph, let Artemisia look at a small round ball growing on his palate, and said vaguely: "Someone gave me a Neidan, although it is not very easy to use, but I can also cast spells." He lowered his head again, revealing the bright red demon heart hidden in his hair, "I can use this to shoot red light, I can't cast spells here, I often go to Bilin to practice, it seems to be more powerful than a few years ago." If you don't believe me, go to Bilin and have a look, there are all my words written on the trees there. I've always wanted to write a long poem for Brother Xiaoqiu, but the first sentence is quite difficult. ”

Artemisia laughed heartily, thinking that it was more interesting to talk to the bald man than to think about the practice. I don't know why, she has never been particularly interested in cultivation, of course she wants to be a Taoist priest, longevity, spells, rare treasures, these are all things that particularly attract her, but she just feels that she shouldn't waste so much time on cultivation.

"The world is so big, instead of living motionless for thousands of years, it is better to travel thousands of miles in decades, as long as you are in a good mood, why do you have to live forever?"

The protector gave up on this disciple who was not good enough and never came again, and Xiao Artemisia was mixed with the bald man from then on, practicing when he remembered it, and wandering around when he couldn't remember, and even went to Bilin in the southwest of the Ranjing Mountain to compete with the bald man who could find the most small notes left by the previous Taoist priest.

The strange thing is that Xiao Artemisia, who practiced so hard, actually rose to the second level of inhalation before the arrival of summer, and the Taoist priest who was routinely checking couldn't help but be surprised when he found out about this.

A few days later, another smoke-swallowing Taoist came to the door, saying that her name was Sun Yulu, and the smile on her face was slightly charming, and Artemisia immediately made a good impression of her.

Sun Yulu used the magic weapon to conduct a second inspection of Xiao Artemisia while chatting with her, and it didn't take long for Sun Yulu to know it, put away the magic weapon, and asked, "Do you really want to join the Nianxin Department?"

"Well, I think it's a lot of fun. Xiao Artemisia also loves to laugh, her smile is always a little naïve, a little cynical and a little wise, in her eyes there seems to be no strict thing.

"Okay, if you can get Mu Xingqiu's consent, Ranjing Mountain will allow you to join the Nianxin Sect, but you have to remember that you will always be a disciple of Ranjing Mountain. ”

Xiao Hao nodded, not particularly excited because of the fulfillment of his wish, "Of course, my name is recorded in the disciple book of Ranjing Mountain-Duan Caihao, I will become the first disciple of Mindfulness in Ranjing Mountain." ”

Sun Yulu looked at the new disciple with a slightly strange expression.
