The birds are in the wind, and the sky is not disturbed by the frost; the poor clouds gather, and the mountains are borrowed.

- Guan Pingchao

Hearing this, Lord Taishou, who had only one side to himself, actually called himself "not a thing in the pool", and he was quite surprised and excited at the moment. But fortunately, he has heard a lot of such rumors these days, and there is no risk of inadvertent gaffes in ecstasy. Awakening just expresses his humility just right.

At this time, just above the cloudy sky in front of the Horseshoe Mountain, a few birds flew not far away. Yao Taishou seemed to feel something, pointed to the mountain bird that stretched its wings and glided past, and warned Xingyan:

"The big husband is in the world, since he should be a kun bird flying high, with great ambitions, he must not be mixed in the market for a long time. If you have been trapped in the misery for a long time, you will be gifted and intelligent, and you will inevitably be unrecognizable later. ”

Seeing that the young man beside him was contemplating and contemplating, as if he had an understanding, Taishou was also quite pleased, and further said:

"A young man still needs to be checked, and at an age like a little brother, it is more important to leave a name than to make a profit. When he was young, he had to uphold the ambition of Lingyun and cherish his feathers; he said that he was flying above the green clouds, and he was worried about what he did not have and what was not good? He must not be attached to the yellow and white things in front of him. ”

Listening to Taishou's heartfelt words regardless of his identity, he was also greatly moved when he heard it. Thinking of Fang Cai's own behavior before the three puritanical gold and silver, the young man was ashamed.

Listening too carefully, Xingyan now regrets that he only relied on hearsay to get some impressions, so he coveted the bag of gold and silver, and almost agreed to the seemingly noble reluctant invitation of the Three Puritans.

It's just that when he was too obedient and thankful, his heart moved, and he cautiously asked:

"The good teacher Taishou learned that in fact, the boy only heard the words of the three Qingshan Dao, and this horseshoe mountain is indeed a blessed land of Qingqi; now the whole country is good Taoist teachings, and the kid often has the heart of catechumen. Therefore, the mountain field of my family also has the intention of donating to the Taoist family to repair the palace and establish a religion. I don't know what the adults think? ”

Hearing the young man's question, the Taishou also admired that the young man was quite knowledgeable; Yao Taishou thought for a while, and then said:

"Horseshoe Mountain rises on the flat ground, standing between the Xiao Han, and is by no means an ordinary mountain field. How to deal with it, or let it be. The sacred mountain has a spirit, and it will choose people, and there may be no need for the little brother to work hard. ”

After saying this specious sentence, this Yao Taishou said a sigh between what he seemed to understand and what he didn't understand, and then he took the left and right servants and floated down the mountain.

Watching Yao Taishou and his party gradually move away, the young man who was now in the mountain breeze was rarely full of solemnity, as if he was thoughtful. After standing for a long time, he went down the mountain and returned to the grass hut halfway up the mountain.

It's just that even Yao Taishou didn't expect that this matter of "Shenshan Selecting People" finally fell on Xingyan's head. And, to the boy's surprise, it happened so quickly.

Let's say that in the early morning of the second day of Taishou's visit, Xingyan came to the chicken coop on the west side of the stone flat in front of the house, opened the bamboo door of the chicken coop, and let these chickens and birds go out to forage.

When he straightened up, he saw several people walking down the mountain, all dressed as Taoist priests. These Taoists are walking along the winding mountain road to their homes.

"Huh, it won't be those Taoist priests in Sanqing Mountain again, right?"

Wake up and hesitate.

When he saw someone visiting, he did not hurry back to the house, but stood by the stone hedge and watched these people come up the mountain.

Still halfway down the road, the person who was the first of the people in the line was already looking up to him and shouting hello:

"Brother Xingyan, has you been good lately?"

"Huh?"

The awakening words are good, although they are quite far away, but they are already clear. He thought to himself:

"Strange, how can this sound so familiar?"

Without reminding him of his doubts, the foot of the pedestrian at the foot of the mountain was also quite fast, and in a short time, he had come to the young man.

"Huh?"

When these three or four Daoists came closer, Xingyan greeted the person who was the leader, and looked carefully—the more he looked, the more he felt that this Daoist looked so familiar.

"Dare to ask who you are?"

"Ha~ Brother Zhang, forget about old decay and don't care, did the little brother forget the girl Juying a few months ago?"

"Are you Uncle Cheng?!"

It can be described as "a person who wakes up in a dream with a word", hearing this person say this, Xingyan's heart suddenly suddenly dawned: It turns out that the Taoist in front of him who looks like a fairy wind and bones is not Uncle Cheng who met in Daoxianglou a few months ago, but who else will it be?

"Heh~ Wake up, he is the uncle of the poor road, one of the 'four sons of the Shangqing Palace' in Luofu Mountain - Ling Chengzi!"

The person who turned out from behind Uncle Cheng and smiled extremely brightly with an old face was the old Dao Qinghe in Raozhou City!

"Uh~"

Xingyan only then saw clearly, it turned out that Uncle Cheng - uh~ should be called "Lingchengzi" now, and there were people behind him, but most of them were his old acquaintances: Qinghe Old Dao in Raozhou, Shangqing Palace, Jingchen and Jingming two Taoist priests. There is only one Taoist who is the same age as Qinghe Lao Dao, but he doesn't know it.

Although Xingyan was greatly puzzled by the fact that Uncle Cheng a few months ago had suddenly become the immortal chief of the Shangqing Palace, the young man still followed the way of hospitality and hurriedly welcomed these guests into the house.

"Hehe, Brother Xingyan doesn't have to wonder. ”

After taking a seat, Ling Chengzi took the initiative to explain to Xingyan the reason for incarnating "Uncle Cheng" last time:

"I have a good relationship with the people in the family of the girl who lived in the house, and the head of her family was not worried about his daughter's travels, so he asked the poor to take care of them all the way. ”

"Oh, that's it!"

After that, the spiritual enlightenment path chief introduced the person who didn't know what to say. It turned out that this Daoist with a serious expression was none other than Daoist Qinghu, the apprentice of this Lingcheng Daoist, who was the same as the old Daoist of Qinghe.

After a few words of greeting with these Taoists, he knew the general situation of this matter.

It turned out that the Shangqing Palace, which was far away in Luofu Mountain, was also well-informed, and knew that there were such strange mountains in Raozhou, so he immediately entrusted this Lingchengzi, who was wandering abroad, to come to contact the master of Horseshoe Mountain;

"Don't hide it from the little brother, the last time I came to your house to visit the horseshoe mountain, but it was also because of the poor Tao read the description in the scriptures, I want to see if this mountain is the legendary fairy mountain blessed land - I am ashamed to say that the poor road mana is shallow, but I have not seen much fairy spirit at that time. ”

Uncle Cheng didn't forget to joke:

"Speaking of which, I would like to thank you for your hospitality last time, and as far as Poor Dao knows, the girl who lived in Ying last time had a good impression of you!"

After listening to Xingyan, he didn't know how to answer, so he just giggled there.

Here the guests and hosts had a very happy conversation, and were about to talk about the construction of the other courtyard in detail, but they heard a few noises. When everyone looked up, they saw that Xingyan Niang was hurriedly welcoming several Taoist elders.

Xingyan was ignorant, but he saw that among the Taoist priests who had just come in, there were two women mixed in. The older Taoist aunt was dressed in plain yellow clothes and had a solemn expression, while the young woman was very bright, dressed in plain clothes like snow, standing there slim and jade, among this group of Taoist robes and green scarves, it was really eye-catching.

Seeing that the slightly rustic young man in the room was just staring at himself, this bright girl snorted lightly and turned her eyes away.

Listening to Ling Chengzi and others greeting these new Taoist priests, they realized that the few people who had just come in were from two famous Taoist families that were as famous as the Shangqing Palace: Miaohua Palace of Weiyu Mountain, and Heavenly Master Sect of Heming Mountain. The young woman with a proud expression just now was the doorman of the Miaohua Palace, and the red-faced man who wore a bamboo hat on his head and stepped on his shoes when he entered the door was actually the contemporary Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Master Sect - Zhang Sheng!

"Hmm, is it true that God wants to let me be blessed? Today, let me see so many Taoist figures who are usually only in legends!"

Although there have been many surprises in the past few days, at first glance I saw so many high-ranking people coming, and I was still shocked in my heart.

However, in addition to that excitement, Xingyan suddenly realized that his family was facing a big problem:

As the so-called "listen to the string song and know the elegant meaning", with the experience of yesterday's three Qing Sects, needless to say, the important figures of the three major sects in the world came to their homes today to visit his obscure Zhangjia Xiaolu, not for anything else, but for the sake of cultivating Taoism on this horseshoe mountain.

Before the master who was secretly complaining could speak, he had already heard these Taoist masters arguing with each other. It turned out that the Miaohua Palace, which received more female apprentices, came to a sect elder this time, Aunt Yushan, and this cold and beautiful woman with a frosty face was the descendant of the head of the Miaohua Palace, Zhuo Bihua.

Listening to the greetings of Ling Chengzi and a few people, this young Zhuo Bihua was a leading figure among the young disciples of the Miaohua Palace.

Listening to the back-and-forth arguments of these worldly masters, Xingyan couldn't interject for a while, so he had to listen to it on the sidelines.

Although these Taoist masters were quite polite in their words, they could be heard that in the words of these Taoist masters, they were bound to win their own horseshoe mountain field, and they did not give in.

Whether it is Ling Chengzi of the Shangqing Palace, Zhang Tianshi of the Heavenly Master Sect, or the female Taoist Yushan of the Miaohua Palace, they all list all kinds of reasons, expounding their own sect's grand wish to open a mountain on this horseshoe mountain and promote the true meaning of Taoism.

The Taoist leader of the Shangqing Palace, that is, the original "Uncle Cheng", Xingyan has long been familiar with it, and in his impression, Ling Chengzi is a very kind elder. But Xu is a major matter related to the future of his own Daomen, but between the words and words, there is no concession.

Of course, between the words of the Lingcheng Daoist, he was still quite polite and polite, but the female Daoist of Miaohua Palace was much sharper. And Zhang Sheng and Zhang Tianshi of the Heavenly Master Sect, although he did not back down, but in the eyes of the awakening, this Zhang Tianshi was quite open-minded, and there was a bit of freedom and ease between his words.

Now the owner of Horseshoe Mountain, who was sitting idlely on the side, was a little poor and bored, and from time to time he glanced at the young Taoist aunt Zhuo Bihua of the same age; after she found out, he glared back mercilessly, and then made some grimaces with the old man of Qinghe—the old man in the good fate, who seemed to be forced to lead the way by his uncle, and he seemed to have no interest in this matter, and now he was accompanying the young man there with great interest.

Xingyan was bored, but suddenly heard someone mention his name - it turned out that this Lingcheng Daoist of Shangqing Palace, seeing that he was arguing with the Taoist friends of Miaohua Palace and Heavenly Master Sect, he found another way to put this matter on Xingyan's head. I just heard him say unhurriedly:

"The two Taoist friends live together, and the poor Dao still has one thing to tell. ”

"Hmm, what do you have to tell Brother Lingcheng?"

"That's right, Poor Dao actually knew the family of the owner of Horseshoe Mountain for a long time. Before May, Poor Dao had spent the night at Zhang's house. At that time, although I was only a one-sided relationship with this young man of the Zhang family, I felt that this young man had a deep roots in wisdom and had a lot of connections with my Taoism. So after the poor road returned to Naluofu Mountain, he learned about it with his brother in charge. I heard my Qinghe nephew mention that this young man of the Zhang family is quite Taoist, so we have already discussed and stopped, and are ready to accept him as a member of the Shangqing Palace. ”

Lingcheng Dao took a sip of tea, and then continued:

"Recently, Poor Dao heard many deeds of the little brother of the Zhang family, so he had more and more expectations for him to enter my door. Before Poor Dao left this time, Senior Brother Lingxuzi, who was in charge of the sect, had already instructed Poor Dao to appoint this young man of the Zhang family as the deputy hall master of the 'Four Seas Hall'!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked!

——In addition to the party next to him, the young man Zhang Xingyan.

This is a distracted young man, at first glance, he heard the word "Sihaitang", and he was still a little ignorant, and he didn't know what this "Sihaitang" was. Xingyan was still confused in his heart, this sounded like the gang of rivers and lakes, how could it be related to the Shangqing Palace.

Except for this self-confused young man, all the other Taoist leaders present were all shocked after hearing Ling Chengzi's words—you must know that this Shangqing Palace was originally very strict in selecting disciples; even if they were lucky enough to enter the gate of the Shangqing Palace, many disciples could only study the scriptures; and only a few people with outstanding talents could be assigned to the sect of the elders in the sect to learn Taoism.

Because of this, now that they heard this Lingchengzi's words, they wanted to directly promote this mountain village boy to the deputy hall master of the "Sihai Hall" who was in charge of the layman's disciples in the Shangqing Palace, whether it was Miaohua Palace, Tianshi Sect, or the Qinghu people who were walking with Lingchengzi, they were all dumbfounded.

I was stunned for a moment, this Zhang Sheng Tianshi and that Yushan Daoist Gu are also people with a clear mind; after pondering Lingchengzi's words for a while, he suddenly suddenly realized - to put it mildly, this Horseshoe Mountain is still Zhangjia Mountain; if you want to start a sect in this Taoist blessed land, you naturally have to ask for the consent of this Zhang family——

Obviously, if the only heir of the Zhang family can be pulled into this door, then the ownership of this horseshoe mountain will naturally be a matter of course!

At this time, all the Taoists present secretly praised the Lingchengzi of the Shangqing Palace, who was really old and spicy, and saw the key to this matter at a glance.

At that moment, this Yushan Dao Gu and that Sheng Tianshi immediately discovered the talent of the young man's awakening wisdom, and expressed their strong desire to accept him as an apprentice!

Now, this originally a somewhat dizzy young man, although he still doesn't understand many things, but one thing is certain - because of his own horseshoe mountain field, he has been stalking with the old road of Qinghe for many years, but he still failed to achieve his wish, and now it seems that it will be easy to realize!

Alas~ In the past, I couldn't get any of them, but now the three famous families are rushing to ask for them - at this time, this young man who has experienced a lot of experience in the past six months, while being happy, he still can't help but sigh.

Now, this Yushan Dao Gu of Miaohua Palace is extremely enthusiastic to introduce the cold girl who came with her to Xingyan. Yushan Daogu's words are between the open and the secret, and the young man is reminded everywhere: In her Miaohua Palace in Weiyu Mountain, there are as many beautiful women as possible!

At present, Taoism in the world does not prohibit Taoist priests from marrying wives. It seems that this Yushan Daoist Aunt of Miaohua Palace is also active, and she is looking at this young man's blood and energy, so she wants to start here!

Obviously, this is seducing women.

And Zhang Shengtian, the Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Master Sect, tried his best to say that he was a Heavenly Master Sect, and his disciples were all over the world. If he wakes up and wishes to enter the Heavenly Master Sect, he will definitely accept him as a disciple, and he will be able to respond to every call in the future, and the world will be able to walk in a beautiful way - this is a hint that his Heavenly Master Sect is powerful, and if he is in his sect, he will definitely have a bright future in the future. In addition, Zhang Tianshi also turned around to ask the genealogy of the old Zhang Tou's family, it seems that he wanted to learn from the rumors of the heir of the Zhang family, and put this Zhang family with his own Heavenly Master Sect Zhang Tianshi, and give some kinship.

It seems that this should be an inducement to power.

Hearing that these two Daoists had passed their own prompts, they suddenly turned around, and the Lingcheng Daoist was also quite anxious. Lingcheng Daoist secretly complained to himself, saying in his heart that this Miaohua Palace Heavenly Master Sect also came really fast; although the Shangqing Palace had already put a lot of effort into this matter, but looking at the current situation, if he was a little slack, he would most likely have lost the trust of the senior brother who was in charge of the Lingxu Sect.

Just as he was a little anxious, the corner of Ling Chengdao's eyes happened to sweep over the young man who was already a little restless on the side, but in the dark, there seemed to be a familiar breath, which disappeared in front of his eyes for a moment.

At the bottom of the list was an outstanding person in the Shangqing Palace, and the Lingcheng Daoist immediately recognized what this aura was. After a little thought in my heart, I already knew it. Suddenly, it was like a sudden gust of wind, blowing away the dark clouds of that day, Ling Chengzi's heart was so calm that he couldn't help laughing "haha".

Seeing that Lingcheng Daoist suddenly laughed, Yushan Daoist and Zhang Shengtian were both very surprised, and I don't know why he suddenly laughed.

But when he saw the spirit of the Shangqing Palace, he turned around and pointed at the young man Zhang Xingyan, and smiled at the people in front of him:

"I learned from the two Taoist friends that this little brother who was awake had already practiced the work of Shangqing in his own sect. ”

When the other two looked at each other, Ling Chengzi looked back and called the old Dao Qinghe, who had nothing to do with himself, and said:

"Come to think of it, it should be your nephew who taught this young man the skill of Shangqing, right?"

"Uh~ Uncle Shi's eyes are like a torch, it was the poor Dao who taught me the "Shangqing Sutra" and passed it on to this young man to read......;

The old man Qinghe was about to defend a few words, but it was Ling Chengzi who laughed a few more times, and stopped him from speaking:

"I am pure and righteous, why should I stick to the foreign minister? Today, I say that you are not only innocent, but you have also made great contributions -- when I go back, I will be clear to my brother and sister, and forgive you for the sins of ten years ago. ”

"Thank you Uncle Lingcheng!!"

has always looked indifferent, and although he said forgiveness in his mouth, his tone was actually indifferent, but now he suddenly seemed to be a different person, and he humbly said that he was grateful.

"Huh, the guilt of ten years ago?he~ It seems that the old Taoist of Qinghe came to us to be a gangster in Raozhou, and it is really not like what he said to go down the mountain to practice, but he made a mistake and was assigned here!

"What's wrong? Pretending to be a ghost and tricking people into making money? In that case, this old man really knows his mistakes and doesn't change them!hee~"

Listening to the words of the Lingcheng Daoist, Xingyan couldn't help but think so narrowly in his heart.

The young man has known this old Dao Qinghe for a long time, and this idea is only fun, but there is no malice.

"The two Taoist friends know that since this awakening statement has the merit of my Qing sect, the position of the deputy hall master of the 'Sihai Hall' of this door is even more suitable for him!"

After that, Lingchengzi Dao Chang was very relieved in his heart, and the two Dao Chiefs of Yushan and Zhang Sheng did not expect that the Shangqing Palace was a strange soldier, and they fell behind for a while, so they had to talk casually and think hard about what to do.

Let's say that Aunt Yushan of Miaohua Palace, after being silent for a while, seemed to have suddenly made up her mind, glanced at the disciple Zhuo Bihua who was standing beside her, and said to Xingyan:

"If the little brother is willing to enter my Miaohua Gate, I will be the master now, and I will be the beloved disciple of the head of the Miaohua Palace, Zhuo Bihua, and this will be married to you;

These words can really be described as earth-shattering, compared to Fang Cai Lingchengzi's promise of the position of "Sihai Hall", which surprised everyone present very much - you must know that this disciple of Miaohua Palace, Zhuo Bihua, is the leader of the younger generation of Miaohua Palace, and everyone here has heard of her remarkable reputation. Unexpectedly, in order to compete for the blessed land of Horseshoe Mountain, this Miaohua Palace is willing to let its most outstanding disciple commit himself to marrying this mountain boy!

And Zhuo Bihua of Miaohua Palace, who has always been arrogant and cold, didn't expect his uncle to suddenly speak like this, and he actually wanted to marry himself to this rustic young man, he was shocked and ashamed at the moment, and suddenly Hongxia rushed to his face, his mouth wanted to speak and his lips snorted, and he couldn't speak for a while!
