"I'll come back to her!"

Although the whole body is bathed in the warm spring breeze of the mountain road, the whole person seems to have become lazy, but the words of Xingyan are sonorous and powerful, and under the response of the mountains and rocks in the distance, the aftermath is endless.

"Uh~ Brother Dao has this heart, so it is not impossible to visit Luoyang again in the future. ”

Chen Ziping, the resolute Shangqing disciple beside the young man, was not a wooden man, and now he saw the resoluteness on Xingyan's face, and knew that it was no different to say more, so he just persuaded him gently, and did not mention those words that demons and people were not mutually exclusive.

So, these two people and two donkeys marched forward without hurry on the relatively gentle suburban mountain road in Luoyang.

Now, in the mountains where the two walked, patches of green bamboo forests grew everywhere. When the wind blows, these bamboo leaves rustle, and when you hear it, it is like the sound of the waves.

If you look into the distance, you can see that the rolling hills are all covered with green trees and bamboos. Right now, this April day is in the depths of spring. Those grasses, trees, bamboos and trees, growing fast and slow, each corresponding to the season, glows with their own vitality. Some of the trees are now fluffy and green, while others have just sprouted new leaves, revealing a lively lightness.

Therefore, now from the back of this donkey, looking out at the mountains in the distance, the whole spring mountain and green ridge with grass and trees seem to be draped in a green silk veil of different shades. Occasionally, you can still see small pieces of tender white flakes on this blue silk, dotted with inlays on this blue mountain field - it should be the rhododendron blooming in the mountains.

The Shangqing disciple on the back of the donkey beside him, now seeing the mountains and fields in front of him*, he also felt extremely relaxed.

Just as Chen Ziping was looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, pondering that it would be a few days before he could return to the Shangqing Palace, he suddenly heard the young man beside him, after being silent for a while, finally broke the silence and said:

"Brother Chen, I don't know anything - I don't know if I can teach you?"

"Brother Zhang Dao, what questions do you have? ”

"Well, that's the case, I never know, why Brother Chen Dao seems to have such a deep prejudice against that alien elf?"

"Uh......"

At first glance, Chen Ziping was stunned, and after a while, he realized what the meaning of the "alien elf" in this young man's mouth was. Chen Ziping thought about it for a while, and then said seriously to Xingyan:

"Brother Zhang, actually, I was about to mention this matter to you. Maybe you have not heard the teachings of the elders in the sect, and you don't know the sinister things about these demons in the world-these mountain demons and wild monsters who have become spirits, although they have gained some magic power, and may be able to illusion the form of sincerity and benevolence, but they have never been morally educated, and there are many strange places to act, and they do not follow ethics, and often wreak havoc and harm everyone in the world.

"The people of my generation in the Orthodox Church are devoted to the Tao, precisely to hear the true meaning of the Taoist, to learn the true Dharma of the Taoist, and to sweep away these harmful demons for the world without fear of hardships and dangers -- this is also what the elders of the sect often teach. I wait for the disciples of the Qing Dynasty, and we must always keep it in mind!"

Speaking of this, this Shangqing disciple's tone was impassioned, and his face was full of piety.

"Oh, I see. Is that all the elves that are not of my race the demons that can be condemned?"

"That's nature. The so-called 'non-mine race, their hearts will be different', become a spirit monster, will always harm people!"

"That'...... Just this Qiong Wei girl, but she didn't kill me?"

"Uh~Well......"

Thinking of the cuteness of the little girl Qiongwei, this righteous and awe-inspiring Shangqing disciple was also speechless for a while.

However, now Chen Ziping has made up his mind in his heart to completely dispel the deviant thoughts of this fellow disciple who has just entered the Taoist Sect -- you must know that this young man is going to Luofu Mountain to be the hall master of the "Four Seas Hall"; if his Taoist heart is not strong, if something happens to him, it will be very trivial!

Thinking of this, this honest and resolute Shangqing disciple felt more and more that he had a great responsibility. After a little hesitation, he thought of a rather reasonable statement:

"Brother Dao's heart is still too soft--this little demon girl is still young now, if she is older, her wild surnames will be revealed. Brother Dao, don't be fooled by her beautiful appearance - the more gorgeous everything in the world, the greater the harm. Li Lao Zhenjun, the leader of my sect, once taught, 'The five tones make people deaf, and the five colors make people ......blind.'"

"Uh~ Brother Dao's words are also reasonable. It's just that Brother Dao has ever thought that the Holy Spirit like the Divine Dragon Xuanwu is also something that is not of my race, could it be that they are also the first class of the demon?"

"This ...... But these Holy Spirits are beyond the reach of my generation...... Of course, it can't be counted as demons. When I speak of demons, but those mountain spirits and grass monsters and the like, not the ......."

When he said this, Chen Ziping was no longer as straightforward as Fang Cai, and he spoke intermittently. Just as he was slurping, he was truncated by the awakening:

"Actually, Brother Chen Dao, I think ah, because the dragon and phoenix Luanlin is a rare fairy beast in this world, we respect, praise it, and praise it, and we are often ashamed of ourselves. But when we encounter those mountain monsters that are not as good as us, they hate it, slander it, hate it, and want to get rid of it as soon as possible—isn't this a bit snobbish?"

"In my opinion, there is a distinction between good and evil among my human beings, and there are strange spirits and the like, but they cannot be generalized. ”

"Li Laojun also said, 'Heaven and earth are not kind, and all things are used as dogs' - in front of this leisurely and inactive heaven and earth, what is the difference between us and the strange wood and stone?"

Xingyan's words, although he said calmly, but in the ears of this disciple of the Shangqing Palace, it was like thunder:

This is unheard of...... However, there seems to be no way to refute it--yes, why don't we think of the auspicious dragon and the phoenix as demons, but as gods? They are also not of my race......!

For a while, Chen Ziping, a disciple of the Shangqing Dynasty, only felt that his belief that he had always regarded as a rule and believed in it seemed to crack a subtle gap at this moment.

However, after all, that concept was already deeply rooted, and after being stunned for a long time, this Shangqing disciple comforted himself in his heart and said:

"Well, that's not the case—it must be that I'm not morally profound, and there's something I haven't figured out. The purpose of this religion should be absolutely infallible!"

Now, Chen Ziping seems to have found a reassurance, and his mood has calmed down a little.

At this time, Xingyan also stopped talking. The two of them let the donkey under them go along the mountain road.

The gossip was skipped, and Xingyan and Chen Ziping stayed overnight, and finally came to the foot of Luofu Mountain, where the Shangqing Palace was located, after leaving Luoyang for seven days.

At this point, it was close to the end of April.

Now, Xingyan and Chen Ziping are already walking on the mountain road to Luofu Mountain on foot.

In Chuanluo County, not far from this Luofu Mountain, Xingyan has sold the two donkeys that have been walking for more than half a month. Because according to Chen Ziping, entering the Shangqing Palace on Luofu Mountain was quite a steep road, and this donkey was not only unable to travel, but was a burden.

Along the way, Chen Ziping has told Xingyan several times about the general situation of the Shangqing Palace and Luofu Mountain. Now, these two people are heading towards the main hall of the Shangqing Palace, which is located on the top of the flying clouds of Luofu Mountain.

Luofu Mountain, one of the top ten caves of Taoism, ranks the seventh cave, named "Zhu Ming Yaozhen Cave Heaven", often called "Zhu Ming Cave". The foothills of Luofu Mountain in this "Seventh Cave Heaven" are not small, with a radius of more than 500 miles, clear and ghostly, clouds and misty, and it is really a male peak one after another, and the veins are continuous.

Such a large mountain field has been given to this Taoist faction in the Qing Palace by all dynasties.

And the Qing Palace on Luofu Mountain, which is now entered, is actually not only a Taoist temple. On the main peak of Na Luofu, Feiyunding, and the three peaks that surround it, there are dojos. In the Shangqing Gate, there is a saying of "two pavilions, two halls and four halls".

The head of this "two pavilions" is the "Guantian Pavilion" of the Shangqing Palace, which is the retreat place of the elders of the Shangqing Sect. The other pavilion is the "Tianyi Pavilion", the place where the scriptures are collected in the Shangqing Palace. This Guantian Pavilion and Tianyi Pavilion are both on the top of the flying clouds.

For this Tianyi Pavilion, Xingyan is quite impressed, it seems that the old Taoist Qinghe was the "senior Taoist" of this Tianyi Pavilion back then.

The next "two halls" are the "Good Thing Hall" and "Four Seas Hall". The former is responsible for managing all kinds of idle affairs in the Shangqing Gate, and is also on the Feiyun Peak, while the latter "Sihai Hall" is the Shangqing Palace's lay disciple hall, which is one of the three peaks that surround the Feiyun Peak, Baoxia Peak. Xingyan came to the Shangqing Palace this time, and he also came to serve as the hall master of the Four Seas Hall.

The main body of the Shangqing Palace is the last four halls mentioned in the "two pavilions, two halls and four halls". These four halls are:

The Shangqing Hall on the top of the flying clouds, the Chongde Hall on the Zhu Ming Peak, the Hongfa Hall on the Baoxia Peak, and the Purple Cloud Hall on the Yuxiu Peak.

This Shangqing Hall is the main hall of the Shangqing Palace, the Chongde Hall is mainly for the study of Taoist scriptures, the Hongfa Hall is mainly for the study of Taoist magic, and the Purple Cloud Hall is the practice place for the female disciples of the Shangqing Palace. Among these four halls, each has its own emphasis. Although the disciples of the Shangqing Dynasty all belong to a certain temple, except for the special Purple Cloud Temple, there is no obvious boundary between the other three temples for the disciples of the Shangqing Dynasty. For example, if the disciples in the Chongde Hall meet the requirements, they can go to the Dharma Hall to practice magic, and the disciples of the Dharma Hall will also go to the Chongde Hall regularly to listen to Taoist scriptures. Of course, the female disciples in the Purple Cloud Hall can also go to the other three halls to practice.

The title of the four halls of the Shangqing Dynasty is actually the more accustomed name in the Shangqing Palace; in fact, on the actual official plaques of each hall, they are all called "view".

Now, this disciple of the Shangqing Palace's Dharma Propagation Palace, Chen Ziping, according to the instructions of the elders of the sect when he came, is taking this future "Sihai Hall" hall master to walk on the steep mountain road to the Shangqing Hall on the top of the flying clouds.

The young Zhang Xingyan said that at the age of seventeen, he finally wanted to step into this world-famous Taoist family - Shangqing Palace!
