Text Chapter 13 Worship into Maoshan Mountain
Meng Hao gradually woke up from his slumber, and the first moment he opened his eyes, he saw a pair of eyes only a foot away from him, staring straight at him.
"What are you doing?" Meng Hao was startled, and a spirit retreated to the corner of the bed, looking at Tao Bu who was sitting on the side of his bed in disbelief.
"Do you have some kind of abnormal feeling?" Tao Yiyi's neck stretched a little more, staring at Meng Hao tightly, trying to see something from Meng Hao's expression.
"Yes, it's scary for me to be so close to me. Meng Hao said truthfully.
"Do you remember why you passed out yesterday?" Tao Yifu sat back on the bed opposite him and continued to ask.
"I remember that I took the brass sheet, and my hand was, huh?" Meng Hao exclaimed, there was no trace of pain in his palm, could it be that he was dreaming.
"Don't think about it, it's not a dream, I healed your hand with healing medicine. Tao Yiyi opened his mouth to resolve Meng Hao's confusion.
"Oh, before I passed out, I remember a bell ringing in my head, and it gave me a headache, and then I didn't know anything. Meng Hao recalled the clip before he fell into a coma last night, and his eyes were still looking at his palm, what kind of magic medicine was it, so magical.
"I shouldn't have given you that brass piece, you picked it up cheaply. Tao Yiyi sighed when he heard Meng Hao's memories, and said very depressedly.
"What do you mean?" Meng Hao got up and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Tao Unchanged suspiciously, how could he feel that Tao Unchanged's eyes were full of envy.
"The magic weapons of the immortal cultivation realm can be roughly divided into four levels, and there are four levels of immortal magic spirits. That brass piece is most likely a fragment of an immortal artifact, because the brass piece that stained your blood is integrated into your body, and that bell ringing should be the reaction after recognizing the Lord. Tao explained.
"Blended into my body, why didn't I notice it?" Meng Hao looked at his body suspiciously, no different from before.
"There are probably two reasons: one is that your cultivation is too low, and only when you reach a certain cultivation level will that brass piece be perceived by you, and the other is because it is just a fragment, and it can only show its power when it is all collected. I don't know what kind of immortal artifact it is, Tao Yiyi can only guess.
"Ah, then according to the second theory, if I can't find it, what's the use of asking for this fragment?" Meng Hao suddenly complained, he didn't want a useless thing to remain in his body all the time.
"Don't worry, even if the immortal weapon is a fragment, it will have a lot of power, and the fragments will sense each other when they are close to each other, so you may be able to collect them all and exert their true power, you should be glad about it." Tao Yi's tone was full of sourness.
"Okay, how did those guys last night?" Meng Hao accepted this reality, and then asked about the situation of the three people.
"Before you wake up, those three people have already been taken away by the police at the previous stop, don't worry. Tao said.
Last night, Tao Yi used hypnotic charms to hypnotize the policeman and the flight attendant, modified the memories of the two, and fabricated a fake memory of the flight attendant and the police cooperating to subdue the three. After seeing those antiques, the police quickly reported the matter to their superiors, and learned that the three people turned out to be the tomb robbery gang that has been in the limelight recently, and has stolen more than a dozen ancient tombs, and the amount of tomb robbery has reached tens of millions.
The superiors attached great importance to it, and directly prepared the police officers at the next stop to arrest them, two of the three were injured and one was disabled, and they woke up with an excited expression, and kept saying that they had encountered a ghost. Under police interrogation, the three were confirmed guilty of tomb robbery and homicide, and a trial of the law awaits them.
As time passed, Meng Hao got closer and closer to Maoshan Mountain, and the number of passengers on the train gradually increased, while Meng Hao and Tao Unchanged stayed in the box and practiced with their eyes closed, ignoring the things outside the window.
At the last stop of the train in the afternoon, the box where Meng Hao and the two of them were in ushered in two beautiful girls, looking young and carrying heavy suitcases, looking like students who had just walked out of high school and went out to work.
As soon as the two girls entered the box, they were attracted by Tao Unchanged's outfit, the difference was that the short-haired girl showed a look of vigilance, and the other long-haired girl looked at Tao unchanged with some curiosity.
"There are two beautiful women, welcome. Tao Yiyi saw the two girls, who were even more enthusiastic than Meng Hao, and quickly got up from the bed to help the two girls carry their luggage. Meng Hao looked at Tao's unchanged appearance, and shook his head speechlessly, he was still so unserious when he was in his eighties.
"Thank you, Master. The long-haired girl blinked her eyes and thanked Tao Yi, who was sitting next to Meng Hao's bed.
"Are the two girls going to Jiangding City for fun or to work?" asked Tao Yiyi.
"Visiting relatives. The short-haired girl took the first step to say the reason for the trip, and the long-haired girl glanced at the short-haired girl and did not open her mouth to refute.
"I see that the two girls are black, I am afraid that there will be a bloody disaster soon, and it is fate to meet each other, I have two spiritual runes, which can keep the two girls safe. Tao Yiyi glanced at the two girls carefully, and the tone of fortune-telling at a street stall made the short-haired girl opposite even more vigilant.
"No, thank you. The short-haired girl simply refused.
"Girl, you really need it, this talisman is not much, fifty-one. Tao Buyi looked serious, and at the same time took out two spirit runes from his arms, and continued: "Girl, please see, this spirit rune can not only protect the body, but also has a beautiful appearance, and it is definitely worth the price." ”
"Anything is not allowed to be resold on the train, and if it is found, it will be confiscated. At this moment, yesterday's flight attendant girl happened to pass by, saw Tao Buyi selling things to the two girls, hurriedly walked in, looked at Tao Bu Bu with an unkind face, obviously forgetting the experience of the two helping each other last night.
"If you don't sell it, you won't sell it, since you have a relationship with the two girls, it's a big deal to give it to the two girls. Tao Yiyi muttered first, and then handed the spirit talisman to the two girls.
"I don't need to. The short-haired girl hurriedly waved her hand and refused, who knows if Tao Yiyi will open his mouth after he accepts it.
"Thank you, Master, then I'll take it. The long-haired girl ignored the short-haired girl's warning that kept tugging at the corners of her clothes, and happily accepted the talisman handed by Tao Buyi.
"Since it's free, then you can accept it, and if he dares to ask you for a penny, come and call me directly. The flight attendant frowned, and when she left, she said to the two girls, you can't stop people from giving gifts.
Tao Buyi saw that the girl had accepted her spirit talisman, and she didn't say anything more, and sat directly on the edge of Meng Hao's bed and began to meditate, which made the two girls and the little girl who was hiding outside to check a little surprised.
Meng Hao glanced at the two girls, Tao Unchanged would never do this for no reason, most likely the two of them would encounter a catastrophe, I hope the two of them can believe Tao Unchanged's words and wear the spirit rune on their bodies.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the train finally arrived in Jiangding City, and Meng Hao, who got off the train, obviously felt the difference from Yi'an. Jiangding City is a city built on the riverside, known as the land of fish and rice, a big river divides the city into two halves, the ancient style of the pavilions in the water town in the south of the Yangtze River is still there, the high-rise buildings in the north of the river are modern in science and technology, and Yi'an City belongs to the same first-tier city, and the Jiangding at night is still prosperous and lively.
At this time, there was no shuttle bus to Maoshan, and Meng Hao and Tao Yiyi could only find a hotel to stay in for one night first, and then set off for Maoshan the next day.
Early the next morning, Meng Hao and Tao Yi got on the bus to Maoshan, which is located in the east, about fifty miles away from Jiangding City, and it only takes an hour to take the car.
Maoshan is famous because it is a Taoist holy place, the scenery is beautiful, there are nine peaks and 26 holes, countless tourists come to come and go up the mountain to burn incense and ask for blessings. Meng Hao, who came to the foot of Maoshan Mountain, followed Tao Yi's unchanged figure towards Da Mao Peak, the head of the Nine Peaks, and there was a Wanfu Palace on the top of the mountain, which was the residence and monastery of the disciples of the Maoshan Sect.
Standing in front of the door of Wanfu Palace, Meng Hao looked at this ancient Taoist temple and felt a strong Taoist atmosphere. Tao Buyi led Meng Hao into the Wanfu Palace, and the Taoist priests who passed by all saluted Tao Buyi, showing reverence, and even some people who came to burn incense recognized Tao Buyi and called Tao Master Tao.
Meng Hao, who followed behind Tao Yiyi, was a little lost, along the way, he only saw a few little Taoist priests sweeping the floor and entertaining, which was no different from the Taoist temples in the world, and there was no imagination that the people of the Immortal Sect were prosperous and prosperous.
Tao Yiyi took Meng Hao around the Wanfu Palace and came to a miscellaneous courtyard in the depths of the Wanfu Palace, Meng Hao looked at the dilapidated courtyard, thinking that it was a place for those trails to rest. Tao unchanged pushed open the door of the main house, and there was a gold lacquer clay sculpture facing the gate, which turned out to be the appearance of Tao Hongjing, the first head of the Maoshan faction.
Tao Yiyi bowed respectfully to the sculpture, and then pulled Meng Hao, who was confused, to the back of the clay sculpture. Just when Meng Hao didn't know what Tao Constant was doing, Tao Constant had an extra black token in his hand and began to recite the lyrics, and then a purple light lit up on the ground, wrapping Meng Hao and Tao Constant and disappearing behind the clay sculpture.
A feeling of dizziness hit, Meng Hao felt that his body fell into a state of weightlessness, but it was only a few seconds, and when the purple light dissipated, Meng Hao looked at the scene in front of him and opened his mouth wide.
The original clay sculpture of the miscellaneous courtyard disappeared, and what appeared in front of Meng Hao was a magnificent mountain with a wide field of vision, the sky was round, and the aura was abundant, Meng Hao just changed a few breaths and felt that the essence in his body had improved a little.
"This is the real Maoshan faction. Tao Yiyi was very proud when he saw Meng Hao's surprised expression, and said proudly with a wave of his sleeves.
Meng Hao took a long time to recover and knew where he was, it turned out to be in a small world, different from Maoshan in the outside world, the terrain and environment here were very different. The nine peaks are arranged in the shape of nine palaces, with the main peak, Damao Peak, in the center, and the other eight peaks surrounding it, protecting Damao Peak in it.
Meng Hao's current location was the peak of the sixth peak, and at his feet was a huge teleportation array, which was the only link with the outside world.
Meng Hao followed Tao unchanged down the mountain towards the main peak, and unlike the mountain gate in the outside world, he met many Maoshan disciples wearing Taoist robes along the way. Meng Hao was curious and saw that every disciple's soul fire was extremely vigorous, and he was obviously an immortal cultivator. Looking at the peaks in the distance, the aura was condensed into clouds and mist to shroud the peaks, and I could only vaguely see monks practicing boxing and practicing the Dharma on the peaks.
"The same junior brother, not sitting outside at the mountain gate, why did he suddenly return to the small world?" Just when Meng Hao and the two of them had just come to the top of the main peak and were about to enter the Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace, a figure walked out of the palace gate and appeared in front of the two, both middle-aged, with a straight body, a loyal and righteous appearance, wearing a white robe, quite a trace of immortal law.
"Senior brother in charge, I was looking for you, I found a good seedling and specially brought it over to worship Maoshan Mountain. Tao Buyi said excitedly.
"It seems that it is this little brother, yes, the spiritual root is superior, and the facial features are good. Hey, why is it familiar?" The head of the sect glanced at Meng Hao carefully and said hesitantly.
"His name is Meng Hao, and he is Meng Xiaolian's grandson. Tao Yiyi seemed to have thought that the head of the house would have this expression, and explained with a smile.
The head of the family suddenly looked at Meng Hao and said kindly: "Since you are a descendant of the Meng family, you are a family, I don't know if you are willing to join the Maoshan faction?"
"Can you let me visit first?" Meng Hao didn't agree immediately, he was new to Maoshan and still didn't know much about Maoshan Mountain, so he had to take a look.
"Haha, it's me who is abrupt, Qu Qing. The head was obviously stunned, then laughed and shouted loudly into the palace.
It didn't take long for a white shadow to gallop in, it was a young man in white, the young man first saluted the head and Tao Yi, and then asked, "I don't know what the head commands?"
"This is Meng Hao's little friend, you can take him to visit the environment of Maoshan Mountain. The head commanded, and then he and Tao Yi turned around and entered the Wanfu Palace, obviously having something to talk about.
"Brother Meng, since the head of the family has an order, I will take you to visit the peaks of Maoshan Mountain. Qu Qing is a few years older than Meng Hao, and he is kind and natural, which makes Meng Hao feel very close.
"Our Maoshan sect is different from other immortal sects, and there are inner and outer disciples. The outer disciples are the disciples stationed in the outer mountain gate, there is no spiritual root but advocating the Tao, we Maoshan collect some simple kung fu for the outer door, and usually help the sect deal with daily trivial matters. ”
"The inner disciples are all people with spiritual roots, and each of them was accepted under the sect with the consent of the patriarch, and they are real disciples of the Maoshan faction. Up to now, the disciples of the Maoshan faction have developed to thirty-seven generations, and if you join the Maoshan faction, you can call me the third senior brother in the future. Speaking of this, Qu Qing was obviously a little proud.
"Except for our thirty-seven generations of disciples, that is, the thirty-six generations of disciples of the previous generation, who are now all in the position of head or elder of the sect and belong to the high-ranking figures of the sect. ”
"The rules of the Maoshan sect are very relaxed, as long as you don't do bad things, the sect won't do anything to you. At the same time, after you worship the Initiation School, there will be no restriction on your freedom to come and go, and your cultivation will be entirely dependent on your own efforts. ”
"Ermaofeng is our Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and all the classics of the Maoshan Sect about exercises, formations, charms, pills, and spells are in it, as long as they are the inner disciples of Maoshan, they can view it, without any restrictions. During the conversation, Qu Qing had already taken Meng Hao to the foot of Ermao Peak due north of the Maoshan faction.
"The third, fourth, and fifth Maofeng Peaks are the places where our Maoshan disciples practice and live, and there are martial arts training grounds and martial arts platforms on each peak for disciples to compete and compete. Qu Qing pointed to the three peaks to the east and said.
"This is the seventh Mao Peak, also known as the Medicine King Peak, there are many spiritual fields on the mountain, overgrown with spiritual grass, it is a holy place for disciples of the sect to heal and practice. You see the nine-zhang red tripod on the top of the peak, which is the medicine tripod that Sanmao Ancestor had refined the elixir back then, and most of the cultivation pills in the sect are also refined in it. At the foot of the mountain peak in the southwest direction, Qu Qing's eyes lit up as he looked at the medicine tripod on the peak, and Meng Hao could even smell a strong aroma of medicinal herbs.
"This is the Eighth Mao Peak, also known as the Forging Peak, and it is also the peak where the most elders sit, and the talisman and magic weapon formations used by the disciples of the sect are all refined from this peak. ”
"This is the last Ninth Mao Peak, and it is also the Meritorious Peak, the merit hall at the top of the peak will issue many tasks, and the disciples of the sect can receive the corresponding merit points after completing the tasks and exchange them for the magic weapons and elixirs needed for cultivation. ”
"There are also twenty-six blessed land caves, each cave has a different environment, although there is a danger, but it also tempers the disciple's magic cultivation, because it is too scattered, I will not take you to check. ”
Although it was very tiring to walk all the way, Meng Hao was carried away and was already full of expectations for the Maoshan faction, so when he returned to Da Maofeng and asked Meng Hao again whether he wanted to join, Meng Hao agreed without hesitation.
"Okay, I'll take you to apprenticeship. The head nodded, very pleased, and led Meng Hao into the Nine Heavens Ten Thousand Blessings Palace, where Tao Yiyi did not know where to go.
Different from the outside world, the Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace in the inner gate is more magnificent, and the three huge statues of Sanmao Zhenjun in the main hall are vivid, and there is a hidden wisdom hidden in it.
"The ancestor of the Maoshan faction is above, and the disciple Tao Zhengyang wants to accept Meng Hao as the thirty-seventh generation disciple of the Maoshan faction with the power of the head of the sect, and asks the patriarch to show his soul and ask his heart. On the altar, three long incense sticks curled with smoke, and the head of the temple stood in front of the altar and pinched out a fingerprint on the statue of the patriarch and began to chant the mantra.
There was a breeze blowing in the main hall, and Meng Hao, who was kneeling in the center of the main hall, suddenly felt a will fall on him, and he seemed to appear in front of everyone without privacy, very uncomfortable, but this feeling quickly disappeared.
"Huh"
Out of thin air, a beam of light fell from the sky, just one foot in front of Meng Hao, a black token slowly landed in front of Meng Hao, Meng Hao subconsciously reached out to catch it, only to see that the back of the token of this jade material was an unfamiliar Taoist rune, and the front was engraved with the word Meng Hao.
"Ancestor Xie is gracious, now Meng Hao has become the thirty-seventh generation disciple of the inner sect of the Maoshan faction, you need to always remember the ancestral teachings of Maoshan, be kind and charitable, eliminate violence and peace, do not be a traitor, insult the teacher, you can know. Seeing this, the head said sternly.
"The disciples are clear and follow the teachings of the patriarch. After respectfully bowing to the patriarch's sculpture three times and bowing nine times, Meng Hao knew that he had become a disciple of Maoshan Mountain.
