This middle-aged Taoist is Guo Bushou, the thirty-eighth generation head of the Yunshan faction, and this young Taoist is naturally Li Yi, the only disciple of the thirty-ninth generation of the Yunshan faction.

After breaking through the threshold of life and death, Li Yi's cultivation has reached a new level, in addition to the Yunmeng Jue reaching the seventh Yunshu Xia Scroll, other such as Yunmeng Zhengqigang, Yin Fu Seven Techniques, etc., are all greatly powerful, and Li Yi's use of various treasures is also more handy.

Combined with Li Yi's understanding of the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation during the last Lei Meng and Fuyao Tribulation, and with the guidance of Master Guo Bushou, Li Yi finally successfully cultivated the Fifth Heavenly Thunder Technique of the Yunshan Sect's Town Sect Taixiao Divine Thunder in the three months after he came out of retreat.

From then on, Li Yi's Taixiao Divine Thunder was finally able to be free from environmental restrictions, and could be used as he wanted with the induction of his own qi.

When traveling a few years ago, Li Yi learned the Haoran Zhengqi Array of the Ten Strange Formations of the Xiuzhen Realm in the Zhuling Cave of Hengshan in Nanyue, and swore with Meng Pei, and was able to teach the unique secret technique of the Meng family in Zou Cheng, Zhengqigang, and later Zhengqigang and Li Yi's cultivation of Yunmeng Jue learned from each other's strengths, and the two were combined into Yunmeng Zhengqigang, which made Li Yi's cultivation increase the Haoran Righteousness of Zhengqi Gang in the ethereal and unpredictable Yunmengjue.

The Taixiao Divine Thunder is for the Heavenly Dao, the dignified and upright Thunder Method, which is incomparably compatible with the majestic righteousness of the righteous qi, and the urging of Yunmeng Zhengqi Gang makes the Taixiao Divine Thunder in Li Yi's hands yin and yang, and the power is several times, so although Guo Bushou cultivates to be several realms higher than Li Yi, he is facing Li Yi's Heavenly Thunder Trick. I don't dare to be careless.

Li Yi heard the master's words, remembered Guo Bushou's hard teaching for several years, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart. Said: "The disciple can have today, fortunately thanks to the master's grace." ”

"The master leads the door, and the cultivation is personal. How can it be the merit of the teacher?" Guo Bushou said with a smile: ""Zhuangzi" cloud, I have an end in my life, and there is no end to knowledge, and the disciple combines Yunmeng Jue and Zhengqi Gang into Yunmeng Zhengqigang. To step out of the realm that our predecessors did not have is to be a teacher. It's also an eye-opener. ”

After Guo Bushou went out of the customs, his heart was no longer covered with dust, and he had something to say.

Li Yi is also a straightforward person, and he can't say anything if he is too modest. The master and apprentice looked at each other and smiled, and they were all silent.

After a pause, Guo Bushou seemed to remember something, and said, "Disciple, what year is it tonight?"

Li Yi didn't know why, thought about it, and said: "Last year was the year of Renxu, and this year is the year of Guihai. ”

The people of the world take the ten heavenly stems of A, B, C, D, E, G, G, , non, and decay and the twelve earthly branches of Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai match each other with the year, starting from Jiazi and Bhou. It ends with the cycle repeating, with a cycle every sixty years.

Guo Bushou responded. Turning around and looking at the vast cloud mountain, the blue and blue mountains overlapped, the waves were undulating, like a giant dragon, with its head held high and wanted to fly to the sky.

Guo Bushou suddenly sighed: "This year is Guihai, and next year is Jiazi." It's time for the 30-year Daomen Contest again!"

It was the first time Li Yi heard about the Daomen competition, and said strangely: "Master." What kind of Dao Gate competition?"

"Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the cultivation realm has always been respected by the three religions of Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism. Guo Bushou stroked his beard and said leisurely:

"The three religions have a great comparison of 30 years in order to cultivate people with good men, and our Taoism is to hold a great competition between the sects of the sect every two years in Jiazi and Jiawu. ”

Thirty years is not a long time, but it is not a short time, but in the cultivation realm, it is the growth time of a generation.

"For the Daomen sects, the big competition is not only a good occasion to train disciples and show the strength of the sect, but also a good time to observe the strength of other sects, so every time there is a big competition, the Daomen sects always select their most proud disciples, in order to win the championship in one fell swoop. ”

Guo Bushou stood with his sleeves flicked and said, "Generation after generation of leaders of the various sects of the Daoist Sect have achieved excellent results on the stage of the Tongguò Great Competition, and have taken a solid step towards the vast world of the cultivation realm. ”

Hearing Guo's words, Li Yi understood his meaning and said, "Does the master want his disciples to participate in next year's Daomen competition?"

"That's right, the disciple has now cultivated a small success, we can't miss this grand event, we should take this opportunity to tell the world, we are waiting for the Yunshan faction to come back. Guo Bushou's tone was very firm, and he said: "I have been in the mud on Yunshan for decades as a teacher, and it's time to meet those old friends on the rivers and lakes for a while." ”

Master Guo Bushou was so complacent, Li Yi suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was very heavy and the pressure was very great!

Although Li Yi is very confident in himself, but the battle has not yet been fought, everything is possible, as the so-called defeat before winning, Li Yi stuck out his tongue and said: "Master, in case the disciple ......"

"No whatever!" Guo Bushou rolled Li Yi's eyes and replied categorically: "I'll tell you, as a teacher, you will become benevolent if you don't succeed." ”

Guo Bushou said so frankly that Li Yi was speechless.

Well, after several years of penance day and night, Xiaodao and I went with my master to meet those friends and enemies on the rivers and lakes.

Li Yi remembered the poem:

"Ten years of sharpening a sword, the frost blade has not been tried.

Who has a grievance today?"

Li Yi's heart swelled with pride.

..................

Since the master and apprentice have decided to participate in the 30-year Daomen competition, the next period of time will be preparing for the competition.

The Daomen Great Competition is located on Longhu Mountain, where the leader of the Taoist sect is now located, and when there are still more than a month before the competition period, the master and apprentice decided to start preparing for related matters.

The old man needs to protect Yunshan, Lei Meng and Fuyao have not been transformed for a long time, and they have not yet cultivated to the realm of condensing demonic qi without leaking out, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they will not accompany him, so the master and apprentice took Su Ze, and the three of them set off together.

Longhu Mountain is located in Yingtan City, Jiangnan West Road, and Li Yi once passed by when he escorted Su Mei to Qingqiu Mountain in the East China Sea a few years ago. This trip has the feeling of revisiting the old place, but the scenery is still the same, and the people are not yesterday. Those vigorous things have become pictures of memories.

Li Yi and the others walked towards Longhu Mountain unhurriedly, the closer they got to Longhu Mountain, the more Taoist priests of all kinds increased, but those Taoist priests were in groups, as few as a dozen people, and as many as dozens of people. It seems that the Yunshan faction is downcast.

In the face of everyone, they either looked at each other with doubt, or looked at them with contempt and contempt. The three grandparents had no choice but to turn a blind eye, so they didn't know.

Near noon, the three grandparents and grandchildren were hungry, so they found a good-looking inn to rest. By the way, the matter of eating lunch will be solved.

The three of them found a secluded corner and sat down. The number of people in the Yunshan faction is small, and the dishes ordered are very simple, and the innkeeper is not very careful, so he has already left after greeting him.

The three of them were eating, and suddenly there was a commotion in the inn, and dozens of Taoists walked in from outside, all of them were cyan brocade robes, Buyun brocade boots, and swords of a uniform style were tied to their bodies. It's magnificent. After the Taoists chose their seats, they waved their sleeves for the first Taoist and threw out a piece of gold lump. said: "Shopkeeper, your inn is very good at wine and food, and serve it quickly." ”

With the golden pimple to open the way, it is natural to discuss, and the shopkeeper can't close his mouth with a smile, and hurriedly serves a group of Taoists with good wine and good food.

The wine is dozens of years of Pan Lake drunk. The main dishes are Poyang Lake whitebait and Taihe black chicken, supplemented by fresh vegetables. All of them are well-known specialties of Jiangnan West Road. For a while, the whole inn was full of wine, mixed with a strong aroma of vegetables, which made people appetize.

The Taoists are here to participate in the Taoist sect competition, and there are naturally some rumors about the competition.

A little Taoist priest in a green robe raised his wine glass and said to the young Taoist priest in yellow robe beside him: "Senior Brother Shu, junior brother respects you, I wish you the championship in this competition, so that I can wait for my senior brother to raise my eyebrows from now on!"

As soon as the little Taoist priest in the green robe said this, the little Taoist priests beside him immediately coaxed one after another, asking the young Taoist in the yellow robe Senior Brother Shu to drink three glasses first.

Senior Brother Shu raised his eyes and glanced at the Taoist priest who was the leader, waved his hand and said, "Senior Brother Wu, don't say that, today's young masters in the Taoist cultivation realm are like clouds, how can you be a brother, where can you win the championship?"

Although Senior Brother Shu said modestly, he was full of ambition between his words, and his energetic appearance seemed to be in the eyes of Senior Brother Shu, he really had the strength to win the championship in one fell swoop.

"Shu Sheng is right, I don't expect you to win the championship in one fell swoop, if you can enter the top eight, I will wait for the Taishan faction to make this trip can be regarded as a big face. The Taoist priest at the head of the city heard the words of the disciples, and replied with his head on his chin: "With Shu Sheng's strength, as long as you don't meet so many people, there is still hope." ”

This humane name Dongyang is the contemporary head of the Taishan faction, and he also has a great reputation in the cultivation world.

The disciples of the Taishan faction listened to the words of the Dongyang Daoist, and through the wine, the discussion became more enthusiastic, and they were talking about the candidates in their minds one by one.

"The champion may be Mao Heng of the Maoshan faction, although the Maoshan faction is not as strong as before, but after all, it is one of the four major sects of Taoism, Mao Heng is said to have obtained the true inheritance of Mao Yuan, the true monarch of Mao Yuan, and his cultivation is extremely good. ”

"It's possible for Mao Heng to enter the semi-finals, it's almost impossible to win the championship, I think it should be Zhang Chengfeng of the Heavenly Master Sect, the Heavenly Master Sect has always been the head of Taoism, it is said that Zhang Chengfeng's qualifications are also amazing among the Heavenly Master Sect in the past dynasties?"

"Zhao Cunzhen, the chief disciple of the Quanzhen Sect, is the leader of the younger generation, Zhao Cunzhen single-handedly entered the desert of Northern Xinjiang three years ago, relying on the three-foot Fuyang Sword in his hand, and repeatedly executed several famous thousand-year-old demons. It is rumored that the Quanzhen faction wants to take advantage of Zhao Cunzhen's continuous championship this time to lay the upper hand over the Heavenly Master faction in one fell swoop, and even want to replace it and become the new leader of Taoism?"

"Hmph, what you said is not right, in my opinion, none of them are the opponents of the Wudang Sect female Daoist Gu Zitian, a few years ago, I saw Gu Zitian make a move, so when I cultivate, I will cultivate for another ten years, and it is far inferior, hehe, Gu Zitian is a famous alluring country and city?

The disciples of the Taishan faction argued endlessly, but to put it mildly, the champion was probably produced among Mao Heng, Zhang Chengfeng, Zhao Cunzhen, Gu Zitian and several others, several of whom were famous and famous in the cultivation world. No wonder everyone is extremely optimistic about them.

However, among them, Quanzhen Zhao Cunzhen and Wudang Gu Zitian have the highest support rate, but they don't really compete, and the disciples can't convince anyone. So, he looked at the Dongyang Dao people who were the leader.

"If you don't encounter it in advance, these four people should be the top four players in this Taoist sect competition. If you really want to talk about who is strong and who is weak, it is not easy to make judgments, but it is estimated by the teacher that Zhao Cunzhen of the Quanzhen faction should have a greater victory. Dongyang Daoist stroked his beard and said in a deep voice:

"In recent years. Zhao Cunzhen has been trained in northern Xinjiang, and one is to supplement the demon beast Neidan. Cultivation is progressing rapidly, and second, after experiencing life and death struggles, the experience of facing the enemy should be far stronger than others. ”

Dongyang Dao people are respectful, and their knowledge should not be bad, which will make him expect Zhao Cunzhen to win the championship. Not to mention the Taishan faction, even Guo Bushou, Li Yi, and Su Ze were also attracted.

Mao Heng, Zhang Chengfeng, Gu Zitian and others are well-known among the younger generation of the Taoist cultivation realm, no wonder they have never experienced life and death struggles, they are all touted?" Guo Bushou snorted coldly and said:

"The Taishan faction occupies a treasure land, never wants to forge ahead, and has not entered the top four of the Taoist sect competition for thousands of years. Sixty years ago, Dongyang Daoist broke into the top 16, and later met Weishi, and was knocked off the stage by Weishi's move. Hehe, I haven't seen you for decades, Dongyang Dao people really haven't grown at all, and before the competition has started, they are building momentum for the Quanzhen faction. ”

Li Yi listened to the conversations of those Taoists and knew that those Taoists were people from the Taishan Sect. It is rumored that Dongyue Mount Tai is the head of the great god Pangu. Since the Tianzhu Buzhou Mountain was broken in the ancient Lich War, Mount Tai has been revered as the "first mountain in the world". Its god lord, Emperor Dongyue, is in charge of the world's misfortunes, blessings, and evils, and directly commands the ten halls of Yama and the eighteen hells.

In view of the respect of the status of Mount Tai and the importance of the gods, Mount Tai has always been rewarded by the Son of Heaven continuously, the common people incense continues, the Taishan faction is naturally rich and flowing, and the cultivation world is spreading "the East Sea in the water, Mount Tai on land", that is to say, the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea and the Taishan faction in the earth are the two blessed (rich) places in the world.

Mount Tai is a treasure of feng shui, but the Taishan faction will inevitably have the suspicion of not being able to support the Adou, perhaps the cultivation conditions are too superior, the disciples of the Taishan faction always give people the feeling of being indulgent in enjoyment, such as this time the disciples of the Taishan faction came from afar under the leadership of the Dongyang Taoist, walking and stopping along the way, eating and drinking, not so much to participate in the Taoist sect competition, but to say that it is more appropriate to travel and sightseeing.

The Taishan faction practices the way of Neidan, and has always looked forward to the Quanzhen faction, so it is no wonder that Guo Bushou said that the Dongyang Daoist people are building momentum for the Quanzhen faction.

..................

Taishan sent a group of Taoists to stagger, eating a mouth full of oil, but more and more Yunshan sent the ancestors and grandchildren of the three cold, looking at the white tofu and green vegetables on the table of the small radish, the three of them suddenly felt the taste of the same wax, no appetite at all, the action of picking vegetables slowed down.

Su Ze is only more than ten years old, it is the age of delicious food, smelling those fragrances, he almost didn't drool, and looked at Guo Bushou with blank eyes, like that, it's really an iceberg that will melt!

Seeing this, Li Yi secretly laughed in his heart, before the three of his ancestors and grandsons went out this time, Guo Bushou didn't know what was wrong, and suddenly sighed, talking about the past years Yue Wang Goujian lying on the salary and tasting courage, ten years of life and gathering ten years of lessons, and finally defeated Wu raised his eyebrows and said that now the Yunshan faction also has to learn from the Yue Wang Goujian, and the three ancestors and grandchildren should be thrifty and frugal, and always encourage themselves with the Yue Wang Goujian, and carry forward the Yunshan faction.

So, for nearly two months along the way, the three of them tofu, green vegetables and radishes every day, eat so much that now everyone feels bitter when they see these three small dishes.

In fact, Guo Bushou has been secretly hating his cheapness every day when he eats, and he really knocks out his teeth and swallows it in his stomach, but the head of the dignified Yunshan faction can't break his word and get fat, let the disciples and grandchildren see the jokes.

Rao is Guo Bushou's cheekiness, facing Su Ze's innocent and helpless eyes at this moment, he is also embarrassed, but Guo Daochang has already taken measures, Guo Daochang stretched out his chopsticks to look at Su Ze's head and knocked it, pretended to be profound, and began his daily homework, and said: "Ze'er, we and other cultivators should be compassionate and compassionate, and always be vigilant to ourselves, do you think, how many poor people in this world are busy all day long, but they can't even solve the problem of food and clothing......

Li Yi really couldn't listen to it, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and said: "Ze'er, you have to keep the teachings of the master in mind, well, it is convenient for the teacher to go first......

When Su Ze heard this, his face suddenly brightened, and he bowed to Guo Bushou and said, "What the master taught is that the disciple must keep it in mind. But...... The disciple also drank too much water just now, well, it is convenient and convenient to go with the master. ”

After that, Su Ze made a grimace at Guo Bushou, pulled his legs and ran to Li Yi's side.

Li Yi Suze and the two came to the outside of the inn, standing on the side of the road to breathe, the street was full of pedestrians, and the vendors were shouting one after another, a lively scene.

Su Ze looked at a steamed bun stall not far away, pitifully pulled Li Yiyijiao and said, "Master, the apprentice wants to eat meat buns." ”

Li Yi touched Su Ze's little head, took out a few coins from his arms, and scolded with a smile: "Bastard boy, you know how to eat, have you finished the arithmetic problems taught by the teacher?"

"It's done early, the master is so good. Su Ze jumped with joy, took the change from Li Yi's hand, and ran to buy meat buns.

At this moment, three girls walked by Li Yi's side, all of whom were beautiful and moving. The first one was about twenty-eight years old, wearing a flaming red pomegranate skirt, and the light movement seemed to float a red cloud in the distance, and the two girls behind were slightly older, one in a red dress and a green shirt, both dressed as maids.
