Chapter III: Deliberations of the Shangqing Palace

Qingcheng Mountain is divided into front mountain and back mountain, as for Shangqing Palace, it is located on the slope of Tianque Peak in front of the mountain, Shangqing Palace is the main hall of Qingcheng faction, located at the top of Qingcheng Mountain, and is only a stick of incense from Pengzu Peak, the first peak of Qingcheng.

In the main hall of Shangqing Palace, there were several people in Taoist robes standing at this time.

The person in the middle stroked his beard with one hand, backed by the other hand, with his back to the temple door, facing the portrait of Zhang Tianshi in the hall, not knowing what he was thinking, and he was stunned.

"Senior brother in charge, junior brother hasn't arrived yet, do you want me to go to the ancestral hall and call it. ”

The voice was made by the fourth junior brother of the head, whose name was Qian Zhi, wearing a Taoist mixed yuan scarf on his head, and a peach wood sword hanging on his back, he was not tall or chubby, I really don't know how this body of flesh grew in the bitter place of Qingcheng Mountain.

"Wait a minute!"

Standing quietly on the right hand side of the head is a middle-aged man with meticulous makeup who said, the middle-aged Taoist wears a Wuyue crown that is the same as the head of the house, has a mustache, closes his eyes slightly, has no expression, holds a ring ruler, wears a green shirt, and stands quietly like a pine.

The middle-aged Taoist is in charge of enforcing the precepts in the door, urging his disciples to cultivate on weekdays, and is called Lu Zhongting, which is quite majestic in Qingcheng Mountain.

"If the little junior brother doesn't come, he will send my apprentice over directly, giggle......" The middle-aged beautiful woman on the side laughed softly.

The woman is the only one in the Shangqing Palace who is not wearing a Tsing Yi robe, but on weekdays, even if the head of the house is not well-dressed, Lu Zhongting, who will remind him, has his eyes slightly closed, and he only thinks that he has not seen this beautiful woman.

"No!"

Hearing this, the third junior disciple of the Qingcheng faction, who was in charge of law enforcement, still had a shaky face, his beard trembled slightly, and he opened his eyes and retorted.

"Lu Zhongting, you ......! You can't do that, why are you still a fake Taoist!" The middle-aged beauty frowned, sneered, crossed her waist and pointed to Lu Zhongting and scolded, her voice faintly with a little anger.

On weekdays, the disciples of Qingcheng are afraid of everyone, and there are many rules. Lu Zhongting, who is known as Lu Tiexin, twitched his face, did not return his mouth, closed his eyes again, and stopped talking.

Qian Zhi shrunk his neck and twisted his head to the side, "This woman is really a tiger, and the one on the mountain is the most of them." Secretly dumbfounded, but he didn't dare to say this, otherwise the fifth senior sister would not have scratched his fat face, and when he saw the senior brother in charge with his back to the third senior brother and the fifth senior sister, he secretly praised it, "It's still the senior brother in charge who is witty!"

"Oops!" With a soft sound, the head of the head in front of Qian Zhi shook, and his body fell to the altar of the ancestor of the Qing Palace, and knocked over the offering plate on the altar with one hand.

Qian Zhi jumped forward, caught the offering plate with one hand, fortunately there were no offerings in the offering, his face was full of black lines, it turned out that his second senior brother was standing and fell asleep just now, he really shouldn't have any expectations for the senior brother in charge, even if he came back many times after going down the mountain, his second senior brother was so out of tune, and it hadn't changed at all!

Why do you say all the time?

It all started decades ago.

At that time, the senior brother was still in Shangqing Mountain, and several of them had been cultivating behind the senior brother, and as for the master, most of the old people were meditating in the Laojun Cave, and occasionally gave guidance, so this senior brother was also a master and a father to them.

The senior brother is highly talented, and his talent is also a must, most of the "Qingcheng Secret Records" left in Qingcheng Mountain are familiar with it, and he has read all the classics of Qingcheng Mountain, and the teaching is not bad at all, even if it is not known to too many people, "Qingcheng Jade House Decision" is what he instructed the third junior brother and the fifth junior sister to cultivate.

The senior brother and the second senior brother have similar temperaments, more casual, and if they don't sound good, they are reckless, of course, they are just temperamental, when it comes to martial arts talent, the second senior brother is cheeky but he is a rare self-admitted senior brother, more than a star and a half, at that time, the previous generation of Qingcheng Mountain seemed to be the only one left in their master, and it was completely empty, and there may be no one on the mountain for a year and a half, so there is no incense money.

Zhang Tianshi's offering plate in the Shangqing Palace is the extra supper of the senior brother and the second senior brother, often the wild fruits picked by the third junior brother during the day are put on the offering plate, and the second day has disappeared, after a long time, the third junior brother also figured out what was going on, but pretended not to know, even if the offering plate of the Shangqing Palace was empty for three days, some wild fruits were put on as usual.

One day, there will be no more offerings, and if you think about it, the supply has been empty for more than 30 years.

The senior brother in charge held on to the offering platform, barely fell down, turned around, and saw that his third junior brother, who had a lot of rules, was about to stand upside down, and saw that he was about to reprimand him, and smiled embarrassedly.

"Ahem...... Heaven and man are out of the body, occasionally feeling, hehe" The head stood up, coughed lightly, pinched a Dao seal, pinched his fingers, looked like something serious, and laughed dryly.

"Master......!"

Before he could say anything, his ears moved slightly, and he heard movement outside the hall, and when he turned his head, he saw that the little junior brother who was out of tune was looking inside at the entrance of the main hall not far away, looking sneaky, and he couldn't help but not reprimand the senior brother in charge, and he always wanted to save a little face for the second senior brother in front of the little junior brother who had been on the mountain for more than ten years, after all, he was the head of a faction.

Look at these people in the main hall of Shangqing Palace, a second senior brother who is out of tune, a chubby fourth junior brother, and a fifth senior sister who dares to point at his nose without wearing a Taoist uniform, there is really no Taoist appearance.

"Look, I said why did I feel it just now, it turned out to be a little junior brother!hehe......" The head of the Qingcheng faction saw the little junior brother at the door, his eyes lit up, and he said loudly, with an expression of "It's really a good junior brother!" on his face.

"Come in!" Lu Zhongting said.

"Wait...... Wait!"

The little junior brother at the door glanced at the serious third senior brother, smiled awkwardly, didn't dare not speak, and came out with a word, the young Taoist grabbed the door with one hand, showed a head and poked in, looking around, as if there was a vicious tiger in the Qing Palace of the Qingcheng faction.

"Hmph, I'm afraid my apprentice won't be able to eat people, little junior brother!"

Seeing that the empty Shangqing Palace really didn't look like there were other people, the young Taoist stood up, patted the dust off his hands, scratched his hair, and said with a straight face.

"The apprentices of the fifth senior sister are naturally excellent, where can they be like the evil tigers in the mountains!"

The middle-aged beauty sneered and said, "Since you have said so, then Qingwei girl will go to the Patriarch's Palace!"

"No!"

"Don't, senior sister!"

The young Taoist vetoed it, but he didn't expect Senior Brother Lu, who always trained him on weekdays, to help him speak, and he immediately smiled.

"Third Senior Brother, I will definitely clean the Patriarch's Hall in the future, and I will no longer secretly go to the town at the foot of the mountain. The young Taoist immediately walked up to Senior Brother Lu Zhongting and said as if flatteringly.

"Why can't I go to the Patriarch's Palace!" When I went to the Patriarch's Palace, the little junior brother wasn't napping, and the Patriarch's Hall was full of dust and he didn't see him cleaning, why can't I go to the Patriarch's Palace!" the middle-aged beautiful woman said angrily to Lu Zhongting like a fried cat.

"The ancestral hall does not have the old system of letting juniors clean it, no. After Lu Zhongting finished speaking, he turned his head and didn't look at the middle-aged beauty.

The senior brother in charge also stood aside with a smile, watching the play strangely, obviously thinking it was quite interesting, every time he saw something that did not conform to the old system in the Qingcheng faction, the third junior brother reprimanded, but now he has no spirit.

"Fourth Senior Brother, what do you think?" Seeing that Senior Brother Lu ignored Senior Sister Liu, the head of the Qingcheng faction touched his beard and asked slowly.

The young Taoist is happy, among several senior brothers, the fourth senior brother Qian Zhi has the best relationship with him, and he will definitely help him.

"Since it is not in line with the old system, then it will ......"

When he heard Senior Brother Qian Zhi speak, there was a hint of happiness on the young man's face, if he wanted to count it now, he, the third senior brother, and the fourth senior brother all disagreed, three to one, obviously Senior Nephew Qingwei would not be able to enter the Ancestral Palace.

“...... You can."

"Huh?"

The young Taoist who was called Little Junior Brother was stunned, this was a bit wrong with what he imagined!

Looking up and sweeping over, the fourth senior brother shrunk his neck and looked at himself embarrassedly, and then looked at it, the fifth senior sister had already held the hilt of the sword at some point, glaring at Senior Brother Qian Zhi, if you say anything that should not be said, just look at the sword.

"Senior brother in charge, you are commenting, the fifth senior sister can't do it like this!"

"I can't count how to do it, my mouth doesn't grow on me!"

“......”

The young Taoist was choked by the middle-aged beautiful woman and couldn't speak, so he had to look at the senior brother in charge with pleading in his eyes, the senior brother in charge also robbed me of my wine yesterday, he should be able to help me speak!

"Since the four of you can't come up with a result after discussing, let me talk about it, Qingwei's girl has been going up the mountain for more than ten years, and she has successfully condensed the Qi early after cultivating the Wen Ding Dan Method, but she has not been able to condense the gas liquid, but it is possible to break through if you calm down, I agree, as for the old ancestral system, you can't rigidly abide by all the rules, let's make an exception this time!"

The senior brother in charge closed the coffin in three sentences, and the discussion at this time ended, and the fifth senior sister had a look on her face, and after a glance, Senior Brother Lu left the Shangqing Palace, obviously wanting to return to Yanxia Peak, and did not want to stay here for a while.

......

......

At this time, there were only four people left in the main hall, no one left, but no one spoke.

After a pillar of incense, the young Taoist raised his head, breaking the mysterious silence in the main hall.

"Senior brother, I want to go down the mountain for a walk. ”

"Go, go, come back and bring me some drinks!" The young Taoist looked up at the senior brother who was squeezing his eyebrows at him, but he didn't smile, he just looked at this unobtrusive senior brother fixedly, and the senior brother was afraid that he should go to the town at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain.

"Got it figured?"

"Think about it, Third Senior Brother!"

Lu Zhongting closed his mouth and stopped talking.

Qian Zhi seemed to have thought of something, and his face changed slightly.

"Why don't I go and discuss it with my junior sister, and the junior brother will continue to stay in the ancestral hall. ”

"No need, Fourth Senior Brother, just go down the mountain, you can't hide after all. ”

"I'll go back and pack my things and leave tomorrow morning. ”

Qian stopped talking, but he still swallowed the words when he came to his mouth.

The little junior brother walked out of the main hall, paused, straightened the sword belt tied to the scarf on his head, put his hands together, and made a solemn salute.

has been practicing for more than ten years, and is the little uncle of Qingcheng Mountain.

Finally, finally, it was decided to get out of this Qingcheng Mountain.
