172 times, the ten demon kings surrounded the magic temple, and the watchman monk held the golden plum bottle

Zhiyan sighed lightly: "Back then, the head of Providence told me that I couldn't find Feiyunxiu and then restore my life to the master, and I couldn't take the initiative to go up to the Miaofa Mountains again." ”

Ming Qin shook her head: "So far, even if you can't find Feiyunxiu, as long as you go back and explain it well, the head of Providence may not be able to expel you from the sect." But you use this as an excuse not to return to the mountain, and now you come to Kunlun Wonderland, I'm afraid that the head of Providence will really come to you to ask for your guilt. ”

Zhiyan: "I was ordered by her back then, I can't go back, if she comes to me, I can only tell the truth." I know that when you go back, you will tell the head of Providence that she has met me here, and if she comes, she will come, and I will not avoid it. ”

When Mei Zhenyi heard this, she suddenly figured out one thing-why hasn't Master Zhong Liquan left until now, and has been accompanying herself and Zhiyan? I'm afraid it's because of the wonderful method of Kunlun Wonderland!

Zhiyan was ordered to go out of the mountain to find Feiyunxiu, but not only did he not get the magic weapon back, but even the people were "abducted" by Mei Zhenyi. Now that they have come to Kunlun Wonderland, if the master sends someone to return to the mountain, there is really no way to stop them. Now that this kind of thing is really going to happen, the head of Providence will soon come to find Zhiyan, and Zhong Liquan has not left, he should be waiting for Providence to make a decision, although his old man did not say it explicitly.

Thinking of this, Mei Zhenyi glanced at the master gratefully, while Zhong Liquan winked at him and didn't speak.

With the help of the Shengyuan Pill, Mei Zhenyi sat down and breathed overnight and returned to normal, the Wai Dan bait medicine can only assist cultivation and cannot replace cultivation, but in this special situation, its importance can be seen, and there is no elixir in case of accidents, and the result is really different.

In the next few days, the three of them seemed to have a tacit understanding, and they all slowed down their pace of progress, and they did not go anywhere else. They only traveled 800 miles along the Tibetan God River, and with their footsteps, this was actually equivalent to being in the same place.

With the Shengyuan Pill and the master by his side to protect the Dharma, Mei Zhenyi has been pondering the newly realized spell for the past few days, but he has been much more careful and has not made the situation of almost falling into the river and losing consciousness that day. From childhood to adulthood, Mei Zhenyi has learned and understood a lot of various methods. The internal and external Danshu and various Dao methods are so complex that they are even no less than the elders of the great sect of Qing cultivation in the deep mountains.

But he has a good habit since he was a child, and he is not the kind of person who is greedy and chews too much, and when he comes into contact with a thing, he strives to study the field he knows thoroughly, and it is not easy to be ambitious. For example, he once used more than 100,000 auspicious soft grass stems to weave one hundred and eight futons until he was extremely proficient, and without this habit, he would not have been able to realize Shennong's hundred grass whips.

In the past few days, Mei Zhenyi has not made any other attempts. Still doing one thing - picking stones. Strive to subtly control the stimulation of the divine consciousness, be accurate, subtle, cautious, and comfortable, and then consider the deeper mysteries after these are achieved.

Stopping and stopping along the way, Mei Zhenyi was not casting spells and picking stones all the time, trying to avoid signs of mental exhaustion. And Zhong Liquan was not idle. Pointing Mei Zhenyi all the way. The way of refining the weapon is Mei Zhenyi's self-realization when he was refining medicine with the whip, Zhong Liquan did not teach him systematically, because teaching this kind of spell must have a demonstration, and the empty mantra is not very useful. Now there is a great opportunity for presentations.

Many of the Tibetan Divine Stones that Mei Zhenyi picked up were taken by Zhong Liquan to demonstrate and explain the way of refining weapons - how to purify with martial fire, condense physical properties with simmering fire, use divine thoughts to hook up and induce wonderful use, and finally form with physical and mental integration. These Hidden God Stones are not usable materials, but they are the most suitable for demonstrating the refining process, and it is not a pity to destroy them.

Although dozens of Tibetan God Stones were lost. To the last magic weapon has not been refined, but Mei Zhenyi and Zhiyan have basically learned Zhong Liquan's way of refining, as for their own refining skills, they need to slowly practice in the future, Zhong Liquan can only teach them the mysteries of Taoism. Zhong Liquan not only taught Mei Zhenyi, but also taught Zhiyan without reservation, and Zhiyan's master was not called in vain.

Three days later, when he came to the Tibetan God Valley, the birthplace of the river, Mei Zhenyi finally found a Tibetan God Stone with pure color and rare condition. He dug three feet into the ground with great difficulty. There is a melon size. Carefully remove a layer of sand skin from the outside, this Tibetan God Stone is crystal clear without a trace of impurities. The pale cyan color has a soft pale yellow glow, and when you hold it in your hand, you naturally have a sense of stability.

Such a hard-to-find treasure of heaven and earth, Zhong Liquan didn't dare to refine it lightly, and instructed Mei Zhenyi and Zhiyan to say: "The Tibetan God River has come to an end, these days to find the Tibetan God Stone to learn refining weapons, the consumption of mana is also a lot, just here to breathe and rest for a night." ”

Zhong Liquan spent one night completely refining and refining the Tibetan God Stone, condensing the natural physical properties, but did not refine it into a forming magic weapon. He handed over this piece of refining earth and earth treasure to Mei Zhenyi and said: "This thing is very precious, Master has laid a foundation, you will finish it according to what I have taught, as for what kind of utensils it is refined, according to the use of this thing and your own wishes, be careful, it is difficult to find the same if it is wasted." ”

He only walked 800 miles in three days, and finally had to rest in the Valley of the Hidden Gods for one night, obviously waiting for the Heavenly Providence Master of the Mystic Method Gate to come. In the past few days, Zhiyan has a lot of worries, and he always has a little melancholy unconsciously, and Zhong Liquan doesn't say anything in his eyes.

After dawn on this day, the three of them looked back at the clear stream that meandered in the Valley of the Tibetan Gods, and the sound of fairy music suddenly came from the sky, and soon from extremely far to very close, there was a fairy in brocade clothes surrounded by dozens of wonderful women, and her clothes fluttered from the sky, and the way she appeared was very gorgeous and elegant.

When they came closer, Zhiyan had already knelt down on his knees, and said respectfully: "Disciple Zhiyan of the Mystic Law Sect, meet the head and all the seniors. ”

Seeing Zhiyan like this, Mei Zhenyi also knelt down side by side with her, while Zhong Liquan stood aside. The head of Providence described her as a young woman, and her face was indifferent, and she lightly opened her lips and said, "Zhiyan, do you still remember that you are a disciple of the Miaofa Sect?"

Zhiyan: "The disciple's cultivation is transmitted from the Miaofa Sect, no matter where he is, of course he is still a disciple of the Miaofa Sect. ”

Providence: "In that case, you have returned to the Kunlun Wonderland, why don't you come to see me?"

Zhiyan: "The disciple can't get back Feiyunxiu, and he can't return to the mountain according to the order of the master. ”

Providence: "The story of the incident has been made clear to me. It's not your responsibility to get Feiyunxiu back, but if you give back the god whip, you deliberately don't fulfill the order of your master. And I can't say that it's wrong to do this, today I came to take back the order of the day, and beckoned you back to the mountain, so let me go. ”

Mei Zhenyi was a little anxious but couldn't speak, and Zhiyan's voice trembled a little. The tone was still very firm: "The disciple asks to leave the mountain!"

What does it mean to leave the mountain? It's more complicated, it's not a betrayal of the master, in short, it's a beginner disciple leaving the root dojo to gain a foothold in the outside world, and there are many situations. Sometimes the master sent out the mountain, such as Danxia sent a disciple to leave Danxia Peak and come to the market to open a pharmacy. There is land where the disciples can't learn the Tao and ask to go down the mountain themselves. There are also disciples who have learned the Tao successfully, but there are other things involved in the world, and they take the initiative to ask to leave the mountain.

The initiative to ask to leave the mountain is conditional. Although the cultivation sect cannot restrict the personal freedom of its disciples, the Tao cannot be passed on lightly, nor is it said that it is just a matter of coming and leaving. After leaving the mountain, you must still keep the precepts of the master, serve the master of the door, and treat other disciples with the same courtesy. If the teacher has something to do, he should try his best to help, and he must accept his disciples to teach the original master's Taoism, and he must explain the inheritance relationship clearly.

If a disciple does not comply with these conditions and leaves the mountain without permission, it is tantamount to betraying the teacher.

There is one more case. If the disciple asks to leave the mountain, he is willing to abide by these conditions, but the master does not agree, he can also leave. But this is equivalent to being expelled from the sect, and you will not be able to return to the mountain in the future, and you will not have the opportunity to learn the more profound Dao Fa of this sect. If the person has not made any other mistakes, he generally cannot abolish his cultivation, but if he violates the precepts by using his own spells outside, the original master can also punish him.

Zhiyan asks to leave the mountain. If Providence agrees, then Zhiyan will go with Mei Zhenyi, and will still abide by the precepts of the Miaofa Gate in the future, and wait for the Providence to follow the orders of the Miaofa Sect with the gift of the teacher. If Providence does not agree, and Zhiyan insists on it, then it is equivalent to expelling Zhiyan from the division on the spot. Zhiyan's temperament can be resolved in case of trouble, which can be seen from her decision to return the worship whip in the first place.

Providence's face sank. There was no direct answer. Instead, he asked, "Zhiyan, who is next to you?" Why do you kneel down to Ben too?"

Without waiting for Zhiyan to answer, Mei Zhenyi preemptively said: "My name is Mei Zhenyi, I am a disciple of Mr. Donghua Zhong Liquan, and I am also the Taoist companion of Zhiyan Fairy. The teacher of the Taoist companion is like my own teacher, so I also bow down to you. ”

The head of Providence sighed, and then said to Zhiyan: "You asked to leave the mountain, it turns out that it is because of him? You have now experienced the sea of suffering, and you should go to the Miaofa Mountains to concentrate on cultivating the worldly karma, and it is good for you to return to the mountain." ”

At this time, Zhong Liquan walked over with a fan, blocked in front of Providence, and said with a smile: "The head of Providence, I haven't seen you for more than two hundred years, and Poor Dao doesn't take the initiative to salute you, won't you greet me?"

Miaofa Gate is one of the oldest major schools in Kunlun Wonderland, and the Patriarch West Queen Mother also has a Fairyland Cave Mansion in Heaven, and the status of the head of Miaofa Gate is naturally very respectful, and it is not Zhong Liquan, which can be compared to the wandering gods and scattered immortals. But from a personal point of view, Zhong Liquan has been enlightened for a long time, far before the will of heaven, the will of heaven can not help but give him face, and he also hugged his fists and returned the salute: "Mr. Zhongli, I will deal with the affairs of the door first, and then talk to you about the past, if there is any neglect, please Haihan." ”

Zhong Liquan shook his head with a smile and said: "Don't be so polite, my apprentice is still kneeling in front of you, why don't I come out to say a word?

Providence smiled and said, "It turned out that Mr. Zhongli intervened and sent his disciples to form a relationship with my Miaofa Sect, and he wanted to leave the mountain, is it also Mr. Zhongli's intention?"

Heaven's will obviously has the intention of squeezing Zhong Liquan's abduction, and Zhiyan, who was kneeling there, spoke: "The head of Qiqi is not the intention of Donghua Shangxian, it is the disciple who voluntarily married Mei Zhenyi as a Taoist couple. ”

As soon as she said this, the atmosphere was a little stiff, and there were many people behind Tianyi who showed displeasure on their faces. Zhong Liquan didn't speak, shook his fan and smiled, but quietly said with a speechless Guanyin technique: "Providence, you and I are both understanding people, practicing the rules of inheritance, if the master has an irreversible life, the disciple can leave the mountain on his own, and still wait for the master to keep the teacher's precepts." ”

What does he mean by this? The guru has an irreversible life, which means that the master sends a disciple to do something that he cannot or does not want to do, and if he can't do it, he is not allowed to come back. Then if the disciple can't do it, he can leave the mountain on his own, and what kind of attitude the master has is another matter.

For example, the master said to his apprentice, "You go and kill someone, and you can come to me with your head." "The apprentice can't kill it, or he doesn't want to kill it. You can leave the mountain on your own without seeing the Master. If he has not violated other precepts, the master cannot hold him accountable for any other crimes, but at most order him to be expelled from the sect or call him back.

In ancient times, there was also a saying called "small by big go", some small things are too respectful, and disciples should also be considerate or take the initiative to take responsibility. But there are some things that obviously should not be done, you can't trap yourself and your parents into being unjust, and it is difficult to explain if you don't obey the orders of your superiors. You can only avoid it.

It is usually very difficult for a disciple to fail to complete his master's life, and he is unable to return to the mountain and can no longer learn advanced Taoism. If this is the teacher's experience test, and the disciple can take back the master's order if he really can't complete the task, the disciple will come back with both joy and regret in most cases. I am glad that I can go back to my teacher to learn the Tao, but unfortunately I did not complete my master's life.

However, there are exceptions, and it is possible that a very small number of disciples are unwilling to go back, which is equivalent to leaving the mountain on their own. On the other hand. This is often also a way for the big factions to purge their disciples in disguise, to find an excuse to expel certain people.

Zhiyan's situation belongs to the fact that the master has withdrawn her life, but she still asks to leave the mountain. Zhong Liquan's words were spoken in the wordless Guanyin technique, and only he, Mei Zhenyi, and the head of Providence could hear them, and he didn't want to say it too bluntly. Avoid embarrassment for everyone. Zhiyan has the intention of leaving the mountain, and knelt there respectfully requesting, after leaving the mountain, he is still a disciple of the Miaofa Sect, both keeping the precepts and paying respects. Zhong Liquan persuaded Providence to take this opportunity to step down.

Providence's face changed several times, and finally sighed and said to Zhiyan: "Everyone has their own ambitions, you can't force them, then you can leave the mountain!"

Zhiyan kowtowed to the sky and said, "Thank you for your success!"

Mei Zhenyi also followed and kowtowed: "Thank you for the providence of the immortals!" and then kowtowed to Zhongli Quan Bangbang three times.

Zhong Liquan pulled him up with a smile and asked, "It's not a year's holiday, why do you knock your head so loudly?"

Mei Zhenyi: "The apprentice kowtows to the master." Isn't that how it should be?"

Zhong Liquan tapped him lightly: "Okay, go and help your Taoist companion up." ”

Mei Zhenyi picked up Zhiyan and said apologetically: "I really don't know what to say, I just feel sorry for you." ”

Zhiyan smiled faintly: "Don't say this kind of thing again, you don't have anything to be sorry for me, in fact, I really don't want to go back to the mountain." However, the Mystic Method has the grace to nurture and teach the Fa to me, and I should observe the rites of the disciples of the Mystic Method. ”

Mei Zhenyi: "Don't be angry if I say something from my heart, in fact, my impression of the head of Tianyi is not very good, if you don't go back, you won't go back." Something will happen in the future. You still have to abide by the rules of the disciples of the Mystic Method. "Although he hadn't seen the head of Providence before, when Qingfeng and Mingyue passed by the Miaofa Mountains. The head of providence blocked the breeze but wanted to keep the bright moon, and the thing was really not beautiful enough.

Zhiyan said with a slight annoyance: "My practice is passed down from the Mystic Method, and I will not abolish the Fa because of people, and I will not abolish rituals because of people. Even if you don't have a good impression of the head of Providence, don't talk about the master in front of me. ”

Zhong Liquan laughed and said, "Zhiyan is right, stinky boy, did you say bad things about me behind your back?...... Okay, you two have something to talk about slowly, it's time to break up in front, I'll go to Wenzui Mountain to find Qiao Sanren, and you go to Longkong Mountain to collect medicine. ”

As Mei Zhenyi expected, the matter of Zhiyan leaving the mountain was done, and Zhong Liquan was leaving. Bidding farewell to the master, Zhiyan and Mei Zhenyi rushed to Longkong Mountain.

Longkong Mountain is in the vast desert mountains and wilderness where few people have set foot in the Kunlun Wonderland, and even the Zhiyan Fairy who grew up in the Kunlun Wonderland does not know where it is. Qingfeng only told Mei Zhenyi the direction, but did not tell him which way to go, because there was no ready-made road at all.

To go to Longkong Mountain, you have to walk 8,000 miles of wild wilderness, which is farther than the distance that the hated Xian couple went deep into the wilderness. Theoretically, it's much easier to fly, but in practice that's not the case. There are also all kinds of spirit birds and beasts in the wilderness of Kunlun Wonderland, and the demon king of enlightenment, who also have the ability to fly into the sky and even have supernatural cultivation, and it is easier to disturb the encounter when flying through the sky.

Therefore, Mei Zhenyi and Zhiyan did not blindly fly to the sky, most of the time they walked through the wilderness as much as possible not to disturb the Quartet, occasionally flew up to the clouds, and often stopped to rest during this time, collecting some elixirs and treasures. Their speed was also quite fast, and they came to the periphery of Longkong Mountain after more than ten days.

The master is not around, and Mei Zhenyi also knows the severity, so he will no longer use the demon needle to test the newly realized spells along the way. Before entering the wilderness and when he reached a relatively open and safe place, he practiced the Purple Lightning and the Green Frost Sword with Zhiyan.

The power of these two swords is extremely great, and they cannot be controlled at all without the ability to fly, especially when the two of them are connected with each other, the power is even more amazing, and the magic is almost seamless. It was only at this time that Mei Zhenyi understood why with the ability of Danxia's three sons, he couldn't keep the Hsian couple at the beginning.

In addition to practicing the sword, Mei Zhenyi was not idle in private, he had been refining the Hidden God Stone, hoping to refine it into a forming magic weapon, if it succeeded, this should be the first real magic weapon he had refined in his life.

On this day, they flew over a deep stream, stood on a mountain beam with a sword in hand, and saw a peak on the horizon in the distance, and recognized at a glance that it was the legendary Poison Tongue Ridge, the main peak of Longkong Mountain, because that peak was so special!

It was shaped like a tongue sticking up to the sky, thousands of feet high, but there was no grass growing on it. You can say it's colorful or disgusting when viewed in the sun, it's a stalactite mountain that is usually found in dark, damp underground caves, and for some reason it's a huge peak.

The sunlight shines on the stalactites, reflecting a variety of colors, black, white, purple, red, yellow, and green, which appear colorful. The surface of the mountain wall is not completely smooth, and the protruding rocks are distributed in various flowing shapes, like various forms of slime on a huge tongue, which looks disgusting and strange when you get closer and see it clearly.

If you get closer and look at each local mountain wall clearly, the perspective may be different. Some of the stalactites on the mountain wall are shaped like people, some like dogs, some like dragons, some like snakes, some like fairies, some like monsters, and all kinds of strange things like all beings in the world, all competing to refract all kinds of light.

Zhiyan pointed forward and said: "I saw the Poisonous Tongue Ridge, we have entered Longkong Mountain, just rest here for a night, that mountain is not good, and it is not even easy to walk down the mountain." ”

Mei Zhenyi asked: "Along the way, I haven't encountered any danger, what is the point of this mountain?"

Zhiyan asked rhetorically, "Didn't the Qingfeng Fairy Child tell you the legend of Longkong Mountain?"

Mei Zhenyi shook his head: "He only said that a thousand Chinese New Year's Eve of sand could be mined under the Poisonous Tongue Ridge, and told me the direction, but didn't say anything else." ”

Zhiyan: "Although I didn't know where Longkong Mountain was before, I heard the legend of this place, and it was once very famous......

Legend has it that in the depths of the Kunlun Wonderland, there is a mountain called Longkong Mountain, and there is a temple on the mountain called the Magic Temple, and there is a monk in the temple who is watching. This monk often sits on the threshold of the Phantom Temple, holding a golden vase with a plum blossom in it, facing the road into the mountain to make a watch, also with the name of "watch", and I don't know who he is waiting for.

A thousand years ago, many practitioners came here, and many of them are now bodhisattvas and golden immortals in the Buddha Kingdom and the Heavenly Court. But after a thousand years, this place has gradually become desolate, and very few people have set foot in it, and the cultivation disciples of Zhiyan don't even know the location of Longkong Mountain, and it has gradually become a legend.

According to the previous immortal family who went to Longkong Mountain more than 300 years ago, Longkong Mountain has been occupied by the ten demon kings, all of whom have the ability to transform into gods, and some may have cultivated into true immortals, leading countless demon moths and demon cubs to surround the Poisonous Tongue Ridge, and outsiders in their territory cannot trespass.

There is only a narrow valley road in front of the Poisonous Tongue Ridge in and out of the Illusion Temple, and this road has a name, called Nai He Yuan.
