"Poor Dao is the Wudang faction Gu Zitian. Gu Zi leaned there, as light as a chrysanthemum, like an unsheathed sword, and said: "Poor Dao is looking forward to fighting with Daoist friends in this big competition. ”

Sure enough, it is the "Alluring Country and the City" side by side with "Jingzhao Tianxuan, the slight face is unparalleled", that is, looking for their own trouble, and they also find such an atmosphere, the three daughters of the Xiuzhen Realm who are "the only ones in the world", their demeanor is so heartbreaking.

Li Yi also looked forward to this trip to Longhu Mountain a little more in his heart, and said with a slight smile: "What Gu Daoyou thinks is no different from what Poor Dao thinks in his heart. ”

After that, Li Yi's long sleeves were flicked, and his clothes fluttered, and he was gone.

Lin Xueyi, the girl in green, couldn't see why, pulled Gu Zitian's sleeve, pouted and whispered: "Senior Sister Gu, can we just let him go like this." ”

Gu Zitian looked at the direction where Li Yi left and did not speak, nodded, and shook his head again.

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

The long night is long, the cool breeze is blowing, and the moon in the sky is reflected by several lights in the mountains, adding a bit of silence and tranquility.

In the meeting hall of the Quanzhen Department of the Longhu Mountain Annex, the lights were bright, and the five Taoists of the Quanzhen Sect were sitting upright, discussing the Taoist sect competition that would start tomorrow.

In the Taoist sect competition ↘, the Quanzhen faction of Zhongnan Mountain is determined to win the championship, the lineup of Longhu Mountain is also unprecedentedly luxurious, and the number of people who came reached 100 people, it is the famous "Xuan Miao Impermanence Tongda Ling" and "Quanzhen Seven Dao" in the cultivation world, in addition to the three people who stayed in Zhongnan Mountain, Dao Miao, Dao Tong, and Dao Ling, the remaining four people came under the leadership of the Quanzhen Sect in charge of Dao Xuan.

Dao Xuan was dressed in a Xuanhuang robe, with his hair tied in a bun on his head, and his feet were on wooden shoes.

At this moment, Dao Xuan sat in the center of the five people with a solemn face, and asked Zhao Cunzhen who was below, "Disciple." How is your crape myrtle cultivation?"

The Quanzhen sect is now becoming more and more famous, as the Dao Xuan of the Quanzhen sect, its reputation in the cultivation world can be said to be as high as the sky, and above Zhang Ruoxu, the Heavenly Master Sect who often retreats and does not walk in the world, many people have named Dao Xuan as the first person in Taoist cultivation.

Zhao Cunzhen bowed his head and said: "Returning to the master, the apprentice has already won the door!"

Zhao Cunzhen said this. Dao Wu, Dao Chang, Dao Da and the other three people next to him were all happy, and Dao Chang clapped his hands and smiled: "The master and nephew are highly qualified, after breaking through the threshold of life and death in one fell swoop two years ago and becoming the first person in the cultivation realm of the younger generation, now I have cultivated my Quanzhen School stunt Ziwei Jue, it seems that you are the leader of this Taoist sect competition." ”

The Quanzhen faction has the Tiangang Beidou Great Array, and the eye of the Tiangang Beidou Great Array is the Arctic Crape Myrtle Emperor Star Position, which is the Quanzhen faction's unique Ziwei Jue, but the Ziwei Jue is extremely profound. Except for Wang Chongyang, the ancestor of the founding sect, few people have been able to successfully cultivate for thousands of years, so Ziwei Jue's reputation is not as loud as the innate qi of the Quanzhen sect.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Cunzhen was able to cultivate the Ziwei Technique, Dao Xuanyan was also moved, stood up and looked at the vast night sky outside the window, and sighed: "A few years ago, we lost the Xuanshui Pearl, which has greatly damaged the reputation of the Quanzhen Sect. Overwhelmed the Heavenly Master Sect in one fell swoop, allowing the Quanzhen Sect to regain its position as the first sect of Taoism. We can also be regarded as raising our eyebrows and sweeping away the grievances of thousands of years. ”

In the early years of the Yuan Dynasty, Li Zhichang, the head of the Tianxia sect at that time and also the head of the Quanzhen sect, and the Buddhist Tantric sect patriarch Ba Si Pa held an unobstructed conference in the Yuan capital, and they were defeated by Yu Ba Si Pa three times. After this battle, the Quanzhen Taoist priest was ordered to burn the Taoist scriptures, and was forced to shave his hair and practice, and changed the Taoist temple to a Buddhist hall.

The following year after the Unobstructed Conference, Li Zhichang, the head of the Quanzhen Sect, died in humiliation and grief. As a result, the Quanzhen sect collapsed, and even the reputation of Taoism at that time plummeted, and it was not until a hundred years later that Zhang Sanfeng, a Taoist priest of the Wudang faction, was born, and the reputation of Taoism began to improve.

After this battle, the Quanzhen faction not only lost its reputation as the leader of the world's true cultivators, but also the position of the first sect of Taoism of the Quanzhen faction, which was pointed out by Wanfu, naturally could not be kept, and was taken away by the Heavenly Master faction.

For thousands of years, the Quanzhen sect has been ashamed of this matter, and it is the obsession of several generations of Quanzhen cultivators to regain the honor of the first sect of Taoism and even the first sect in the world.

The Quanzhen sect has been recuperating for thousands of years, and there is finally a dawn of victory......

Rao is the cultivation of all the people of the Quanzhen Sect is profound, and when they think of the past and present, they can't help but feel full of emotion.

Just when the Quanzhen Sect was immersed in praying for glory, at this time, a Quanzhen Sect disciple stepped forward to ask for a meeting, and said, "The head of the Qiqi sect and several elders, the head of the Taishan faction, Dongyang Dao Chief, ask to see you. ”

Tomorrow is the date of the big competition, Dongyang Dao people are asking to see at this moment, what can they do? Dao Xuan frowned slightly when he heard this, and said, "Please!"

After a while, the Dongyang Dao people came quickly, and their faces were a little worried.

Dao Xuan stood up, smiled, and said, "Brother Dongyang Dao came here in the starry night, do you have something important to order?"

Dongyang Daoist was completely unaware of his gaffe, and opened his mouth and said: "Brother Daoxuan, the big thing is not good, then Yunshan sent Guo Shoudao and his disciples to participate in this Taoist sect competition." ”

When several elders of the Quanzhen Sect heard the words of the Dongyang Daoist, their faces changed greatly, and they all looked at Dao Xuan.

Dao Xuan's big hand in his sleeve tightened slightly, but the smile on his face did not change at all: "Poor Dao thought it was a big deal, but it turned out that there was really one more opponent in this Taoist sect competition." ”

Dongyang Daoist was about to tell what he had seen and heard today, but when he saw Dao Xuanyun's light and breezy appearance, he was suddenly convinced: "Brother Dao Xuanyun is a scholar of heaven and man, and he is uninhibited in everything, but he is too poor to worry. ”

After sending away the Dongyang Daoist with kind words, Dao Xuan looked solemn and said to the side: "Senior Brother Daochang, Guo Bushou is Li Yi, who colluded with the nine-tailed fox demon girl a few years ago and hurt you?"

A few years ago, in the battle of Shigu Mountain, Dao Chang was caught off guard, and was hit by Li Yi's "loss of the law spirit lizard"**, although he was not seriously injured, but the portable sword Chixiao Sword was broken by Li Yizhen, this fact is a great shame in Dao Chang's life, and at this moment he was mentioned by Dao Xuan, and Dao Chang is still full of resentment:

"That thief boy will suddenly cultivate a great increase in witchcraft, poor Dao only when the thief boy and the demon girl fell into the blood bat cave together, there will definitely be no bones, I didn't expect the thief boy to come back to life. ”

Dao Xuan heard the words of the Tao, his brows were deeply locked, and he was lightly beating the beat in his hand. didn't pay attention to the way, but turned his head to Zhao Cunzhen and said, "Disciple, you have met with Gu Zitian of the Wudang Sect many times in the past few days, have you made any progress?"

My Fair Lady, Gentleman. Wudang Gu Zi is known as "Alluring the City and the Country", and there are many suitors in the cultivation world. Zhao Cunzhen is one of them. Zhao Cunzhen relied on his identity as the first disciple of the Quanzhen faction, but he also fought against Gu Zi. In the past few days, the two of them have been at the foot of Longhu Mountain together, and Zhao Cunzhen has found some excuses from time to time to get close to Gu Zitian.

Dao Xuan is naturally happy to see this happen, Wudang faction since a generation of Tianjiao Zhang Sanfeng Taoist founded the faction, hundreds of years of talents, thriving, its reputation is no longer under the four major sects of Taoism, and even has the tendency to replace it.

More because Zhang Sanfeng Taoist is in the darkest and most difficult period of Taoism. Supporting the Ming Lord, defeating the Meng Yuan, overwhelming Buddhism and Confucianism in one fell swoop, making Taoism flourish and re-respected by the world.

With such a big causal connection, it is not an exaggeration to say that Ze was a Taoist being, and it is because the Taoist people have a heartfelt gratitude to Zhang Sanfeng and the Wudang faction left behind.

It is the same way of the inner dan, but the way of the inner dan of Wudang is not the same as the way of the inner dan of the Quanzhen faction. Although it is also based on the two qi of yin and yang, the Quanzhen faction directly kills demons and takes pills for refining. However, the Wudang faction emphasizes from the inside out, focusing on self-harmony.

Therefore, the Wudang faction has always been inseparable from the Quanzhen faction, if Zhao Cunzhen can really marry Gu Zitian, and the Quanzhen faction will be so snobbish that it will be just around the corner to overwhelm the Heavenly Master faction.

Suddenly asked about it by Dao Xuan. Zhao Cunzhen's face turned red, and then he was a little arrogant and a little unwilling, Zhao Cunzhen clenched his fists and said, "Gu Zitian only said." 1. Wait for this Taoist competition to make a final conclusion. ”

"With Gu Zitian's proud temperament, he will never marry a defeated general, so he said this. Dao Wu on the side interjected: "Fortunately, the cultivation of the master and nephew is very high, and many Taoist contestants in this time have no longer think of being the second person, if the master and nephew can directly win the battle and win the championship in one fell swoop, Gu Zitian will no longer have the possibility of shirking." ”

When Zhao Cunzhen heard this, he was overjoyed and said yes again and again.

Dao Xuan nodded slightly, stood up again and looked at the vast night sky outside the window, without saying a word, as if he remembered something.

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

The Inner Court of the Heavenly Master Sect.

Also looking out the window at the vast night sky, there is also Zhang Ruoxu, a contemporary heavenly master of the Heavenly Master School who is as famous as Dao Xuan. In recent years, Zhang Ruoxu has often practiced in retreat and does not ask about world affairs, but he still broke through before this big competition.

Thousands of years have passed, and the 30-year Taoist sect competition is not only an opportunity for young cultivators to make a name for themselves, but also a natural platform for Taoism to play with each other and alternate the old with the new.

Under the reflection of the moonlight, Zhang Ruoxu stood in the wind, his hair fluttering, like a fairy, but Zhang Ruoxu's clear face was difficult to hide at the moment.

With Zhang Ruoxu's cultivation as the realm, what else can make Zhang Ruoxu so fettered?

Only the inheritance and glory of the thousand-year-old cultivation family Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master Sect.

After listening to his brother Zhang Ruofeng's introduction to the current cultivation realm, Zhang Ruoxu became worried about the glory of the Heavenly Master Sect for no reason.

In the face of the menacing Quanzhen sect in the Taoist sect, and in the face of Buddhism and Confucianism in the cultivation realm, Zhang Chengfeng, the most outstanding disciple of the Heavenly Master Sect, although he is extraordinary, his shoulders are still a little immature!

The Heavenly Master Sect, known as the head of Taoism and the head of the Xiuzhen sect in the world, has not been able to win the championship in the Taoist sect competition for several sessions, which in itself is a heavy blow to the reputation of the Heavenly Master Sect.

On the contrary, the Heavenly Master Sect's biggest competitor, the Quanzhen Sect, has won the first place twice in the last three competitions, and if the Quanzhen Sect can successfully defend the title this time, and join forces with the Wudang Sect to force the palace, the Heavenly Master Sect may really have to move the position of the first sect in the cultivation realm.

If this is the case, how can Zhang Ruo be embarrassed, how can he face the ancestors and ancestors of the Heavenly Master Sect?

Beside Zhang Ruoxu, Zhang Ruofeng, the deacon of the Heavenly Master Sect, after introducing some personnel in the current cultivation world to Zhang Ruoxu, absentmindedly looked at the roster sent by the disciples, which recorded the relevant sects and personnel who participated in the Taoist sect competition.

Thirty years have passed, and Taoism has really become more and more prosperous, and it deserves to be called a pool of talents.

However, like Zhang Ruoxu, Zhang Ruofeng did not have much joy in his heart, but the more he looked at it, the more he frowned.

Most of the junyan on the roster who were launched by various sects were those who cultivated the way of the inner pill and were close to the Quanzhen faction.

This was to be expected. It's also a very helpless thing, who called the Quanzhen faction's method of "killing demons and taking pills", which can make cultivators advance by leaps and bounds in the early stage of cultivation, and the speed is much faster than many other Taoist sects such as Lei Fa and Fu Zheng, not to mention the double cultivation sects that can only be tried after breaking through the threshold of life and death......

Zhang Ruofeng sighed in his heart and was about to close the roster. Suddenly, a piece of information passed in front of Zhang Ruofeng's eyes, Zhang Ruofeng took a look, and a young man with a little arrogance in his mind appeared, Zhang Ruofeng was overjoyed in his heart, and handed the roster to Zhang Ruoxu beside him:

"Heavenly Master, look ......"

Zhang Ruoxu took the roster and looked at Zhang Ruofeng's pointing, only to see that it was clearly written:

The head of the Yunshan faction: Guo Bushou

Disciple: Li Yi

"He's coming......" Zhang Ruoxu closed the roster. I was a little distracted for a while......

"Yes, Brother Guo Dao is here, thinking that he has finally made a breakthrough in refining his heart after decades, and he is determined to lead the Yunshan Sect into the WTO. Zhang Ruofeng didn't seem to notice Zhang Ruoxu's expression, and said to himself: "And Li Yi, the only disciple of the Yunshan Sect, is also extremely extraordinary in cultivation. ”

Zhang Ruofeng told Zhang Ruoxu what happened when Li Yi escorted Su Mei to Qingqiu Mountain in the East China Sea five years ago.

The last time Zhang Ruofeng saw Li Yi, he was secretly surprised in his heart. After returning to the mountain, he sent someone to inquire secretly, using the means of the Heavenly Master. He inquired about Li Yi's movements.

"Since Guo Daoyou is here with his disciples, he wants to come to the Quanzhen Sect to restrain himself. Zhang Ruoxu listened, his body stood in the moonlight and did not move, and he sighed after a long time.

Zhang Ruofeng was silent, the thousand-year-old family of Heavenly Masters of Dragon and Tiger Mountain wanted to pin their hopes on outsiders. It's a kind of helplessness in itself.

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

In the inner courtyard of the Wudang faction of the Longhu Mountain Annex, the Jurchen department of the Wudang faction is gathering together under the leadership of the Yingyue master.

The great god of Pangu opened the heavens and the earth, the pure qi rose to the sky, and the turbid qi descended to the earth. Since then, there is a difference between yin and yang, and between men and women. There are 3,000 avenues of cultivation, and different paths lead to the same end, regardless of men and women, they all have the possibility of attaining the avenue and attaining the position of saints.

For example, the Guanyin Monastery of Naputuo Mountain is divided into male monks and female nuns, and Wudang Mountain of Taoism is also divided into male and female monks.

Although the Wudang Sect Yingyue Shitai is nearly ninety years old, because of his cultivation, he does not fall into his innate breath, and he still has charm, and he looks only forty years old, and he is a graceful and beautiful young woman in the world. Of course, the Moon Reflecting Master is a person who has been looked at by a master, an ordinary person, and suddenly admires and worships him, where can he dare to raise the meaning of blasphemy?

The little junior sister Lin Xueyi was chattering about what she had seen and heard for a day, and Mrs. Yingyue and the senior sisters all doted on her very much, and they all looked at her with a smile.

Gu Zi stood beside Yingyue Shitai, but there was no expression on his beautiful face, as if he was settled.

Listening to Lin Xueyi's narration in the ears of the Moon Reflecting Moon, but his eyes were paying attention to Gu Zitian, seeing Gu Zitian's appearance, the Reflecting Moon Master couldn't help but nod secretly.

Gu Zi poured his heart into the Tao, away from all kinds of entanglements in the red and earthly world, and his ambition and deeds made the sigh of the successors rise in the heart of Yingyue Shitai.

In the past, when Gu Zitian was just getting started, Yingyue Shitai asked his will in the Zhenwu Palace, and Gu Zitian, who was only more than three years old, pointed to the statue of Zhang Sanfeng enshrined in the main hall, and said in a milky voice:

"I am willing to be like my grandfather, holding a true martial sword, rejuvenating my martial arts, and returning a bright world to the world. ”

For a while, Wudang was shocked by the heavens, and the Yingyue Master was even more so, and after the consent of the head, he gave the Wudang Zhibao True Martial Sword to Gu Zitian.

And Gu Zitian's actions obviously did not disappoint the Wudang faction.

Lin Xueyi was talking, and suddenly remembered something, suddenly made a grimace at Gu Zitian, and then took Yingyue Shitai's arm and said coquettishly: "Master, can the apprentice be bullied by a stinky Taoist priest today?"

"What stinky Taoist priest? can't say that, according to this, our Wudang faction is all stinky Taoist priests!" Yingyue Shitai stretched out a finger, tapped it lightly on Lin Xueyi's forehead, and scolded with a loving smile: "You have always been the only one who bullies others, where is the turn of others to bully you?"

"It's true, master. Lin Xueyi said unrelentingly: "Senior Sister Gu can see it with her own eyes? Senior Sister Gu is still with that stinky ...... The little Taoist priests have made an appointment, and they are going to have a big competition?"

After hearing what had happened, Master Yingyue was slightly stunned, and asked Gu Zitian, "Does Zitian know the origin of that little Taoist?"

Knowing the apprentice Mo Ruoshi, Master Yingyue understands Gu Zitian's temperament very well, with Gu Zitian's eyes above the top, he can be valued by Gu Zitian, and solemnly invited, that little Taoist priest must be a little extraordinary, but I don't know what kind of famous disciple he is.

Gu Zi listened to the master's question, and Li Yi's independent cliff and standing in the wind suddenly appeared in his mind, which was the old and clean Tsing Yi robe, an ordinary iron sword with no special features, which made Gu Zi feel at a loss for a moment.

Gu Zitian shook his head, his face was full of joy and sorrow, and he said lightly: "The disciple just talked to him for a short time, and he didn't know where it came from?"

Although Master Yingyue was well-informed, he couldn't guess Li Yi's identity from the words of the disciples, so he had to nod and say to the disciples: "With such a cultivation bearing, that little Taoist master must be extraordinary, it can be seen that there are so many masters in the cultivation realm?

The disciples said yes in an uproar.
