Chapter 1 Let's go to Longhu Mountain

Longhu Mountain, this is a group of peaks and mountains, but it is different, the mountain body is mainly stone, all are cliffs, the trees on the top of the mountain are scarce, but the vegetation is verdant, just like a giant wearing a hat standing on the water surface, and like a gray and white chess piece lined up together, the mountains have countless rivers, waterfalls, there are large pieces of green clear pools under the mountain, covering the entire mountains, during which the bamboo raft shuttles back and forth, a good place is beautiful, the beautiful mountain scenery is incomparable.

There are thirteen peaks, among which the most familiar ones are Tiandao Peak, Longyin Peak, and Tiger Roaring Peak. It is rumored that the youngest disciple under the throne of Tianzun, the ancestor of the Dao of Cultivation, is the son of Tiandao, who preached, enlightened, and alchemized at Tiandao Peak. Tiandaozi has no father and no mother, he was extremely smart when he was a child, known as a prodigy, he was adopted by Zu Tianzun in his infancy, and he learned Taoism for ten years, and he was born and traveled all over the world. Zu Tianzun once said: Heaven is the Tao, the Tao gives birth to all things, the Tao of Heaven has a son from the sky, I inherit the sky and accept it as a disciple, give a name, the son of the way of heaven.

Tiandaozi preached in Tiandao Peak, when the monks from all walks of life went to listen to the preaching, at that time there were crowds of people, endlessly, and built Tiandao Palace on the peak, became the heyday of the Taoist sect, the main hall in the palace enshrined the bronze statue of Tiandaozi carved by his own hands, for people to admire, enlightenment, handwritten "Heaven and man are one" four-character plaque, hanging above the bronze statue.

The main room of the side hall is the place where Tiandaozi lives, there is only one futon in the room, there is nothing else, it is still the original appearance, and now it has become the forbidden place of Tiandaozi Palace, it is said that there is the impression of Tiandaozi enlightenment in the room, there is the aftermath of the sermon entangled, and no one is allowed to enter it unless there are special circumstances.

The Heavenly Dao Palace is a cultivator sect established by scattered cultivation, because of the long age, gradually lonely, but the various peaks and Taoist institutes are countless, although the personnel are scarce, no longer the atmosphere of the year, but there are also disciples of the Heavenly Dao Palace who take care of them, so as to maintain the ancestral foundation.

The Heavenly Dao Palace accepts disciples to follow the ancient precepts of those who are destined to get started, that is, those who can enter the Heavenly Dao Palace can only enter the Heavenly Dao Palace if they can comprehend the bronze statue of the Ancestor Tianzun in the Heavenly Dao Palace, so today's Heavenly Dao Palace is already struggling, and the total number of deacons and disciples is only a few dozen.

Xinqing Dao, Fajian Sect, Mi Buddha Temple and Tiandao Palace have the old, what is the origin, in order to make the back table, the three factions of this centennial event, will be located on this Longhu Mountain.

Approaching the time, the figure under the Dragon and Tiger Mountain is moving, coming and going, the Thirteen Peaks Daoist Academy is overcrowded at this time, this can be a big deal The head of the Tiandao Palace is long, a Taoist robe is flying everywhere, he wants to take advantage of the three factions to accept apprentices, and recruit some disciples for his Tiandao Palace, so he ordered people to entertain these outsiders, because the people who participated in the apprenticeship test were young people or a few years old who came with their families.

At this time, he was rushing to Longyin Peak, stopped urgently, and hurried to the Taoist courtyard, and saw a few people standing in the courtyard, and in the middle of a gray-haired person in a blue and gray robe, he hurriedly saluted and shouted, "Immeasurable Tianzun, the head and you came just right today, everything has been arranged, this Longyin Peak is for you to rest, but the Daomen is quiet, there is no superfluous earthly things, please forgive your sins." ”

"Zhengyi Chang is polite" this person smiled back, "Dao Xing came with the disciples in the door, it is already disturbed, the Taoist chief affectionately arranged the residence, Dao Xing is grateful, and there is no other way to ask for it" It turns out that this person is the current head of the Heart Qing Dao, don't look at his appearance, it is the sixth generation of the Heart Qing Dao, the highest Dao method, the best swordsmanship, the heart Qing Natural Dao has entered the third stage, and it is the first person in the heart Qing Dao door.

"Dao Chief, this is the apprentice Xu Ziying" Xu Ziying stepped forward and bowed, not daring to say more, retreating to his original position and standing up.

"These two are the deacons in the door, the elder Daoming, Daoqing, those are all disciples, and there is a female disciple, who has not yet arrived today, and will say tomorrow" Everyone stepped forward to greet them, and they were nodding their heads together, smiling silently.

"Does the Dao Leader know that the other two factions are coming?" asked Dao Xing with a smile on his beard,

"The master is late," he flicked his sleeves and said with a smile, "Half a day ago, the master of the Xuanfa of the Mifo Temple, together with several masters in the temple, had already rested at the Tiger Roaring Peak, and the master of the Xuanfa asked the master when he arrived."

"Ah, it's that I'm delayed, I'm ashamed," he said,

"The head of the Sword Sect also arrived not long ago, and is currently resting at Aoki Peak among the thirteen peaks."

"Oh, that's very good, let's go and take a look," Dao Xing pointed at himself and at the other side,

"It's better to obey the fate than to be respectful, please" is a long stretch of out of his hand to signal,

"Ziying will go with me, and the others will rest separately and prepare for tomorrow's apprenticeship," Dao Xing instructed without looking back,

"Honorable Commander," the people replied.

Dao Xing and Zheng walked out of the courtyard door with a long step, Xu Ziying followed behind him respectfully, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out, just out of the courtyard door, I saw three flashes of light, and the three of them disappeared into the sky, going to Tiandao Peak, and Zheng Yi accompanied the two to meet the bronze statue of Zu Tianzun, and then went to Tiger Roaring Peak.

"Amitabha, the old man has been waiting for a long time" The three of them had not yet reached the Tiger Roaring Peak, but when they heard a loud Buddha horn sound, they saw a gray-robed monk with a round head and a round head and a shiny scalp, standing in front of the courtyard gate, shouting to the sky in the distance.

As soon as the words fell, the three figures were already standing in front of the master of the Xuanfa, and the three of them all gave salutes, "The master Dharma is immeasurable, and it is the blessing of all living beings" Dao Xing said,

"The head of the Taoist line praises falsely, I haven't seen it for more than ten years, but the head of the house is a hundred feet ahead of the next level, haha" Master Xuanfa held the Buddha beads in his hand, put his hands together, and said with a smile.

Master Xuanfa is now presided over by the Mi Buddha Temple, but it can be foreseen to see the nine ring scars on the top of the head, the Buddhism of the Master Xuanfa is profound, it is rumored that only the Mi Buddha Patriarch who created the Mi Buddha Temple is the twelve precept scars, and there are few nine precept Buddhist monks in the world, but there are two holy scars in the Mi Buddha Temple, which is the elder of the Mi Buddha Temple, and there are no two holy monks, which shows the status of the master of the Xuanfa and the unfathomable.

"Haha. The master has won the award, and Dao Xing has only gained a little over the years" Dao Xing was slightly shocked in his heart, and as soon as he looked at him, Master Xuanfa actually saw that he was pure and diligent, so he took the initiative to say, "How does the master know that I am not an old man?" Dao Xing asked rhetorically,

"It is a long body of Taoism rushing like a torrent, this is caused by the exercises of the Heavenly Dao Palace, and the old man will not be mistaken when he gets there, but there is one next to him, the Taoism is gentle, making people's hearts feel peaceful, like a stream flowing into the sea without a trace, and the sword of the head of the sky is unpredictable, and the sword flying in the air has a fierce wind, such as the birth of a treasure, open and close, who is not your Tao?" Master Xuanfa explained the reason, laughed, and shook his head and sighed.

"The master is really a master, and the Tao is convinced" The Tao is handed over,

"Come, talk inside" After Xuanfa finished speaking, he bowed his head to everyone and stretched out his hand to signal,

"The master and the head of the Taoist line have a detailed discussion, and the poor road will take a trip to Aoki Peak and invite the head of the Sikong to come" Seeing the two of them entering the house in advance, he took the initiative to ask to invite the head of the Sword Sect to the sky,

Dao Xing and Master Xuanfa looked at each other and smiled, "In this way, there is a long time for the Taoist" Master Xuanfa nodded and said,

Sho Ichichi nodded, then turned around and headed towards Aoki Peak, and the remaining three headed towards the temple. The two sat down, Xu Ziying didn't dare to sit, so he stood behind Dao Xing, and from time to time there were indoor monks offering tea.

Master Xuanfa glanced at Xu Ziying, nodded and smiled, "This is your closed disciple?"

"Junior Xu Ziying visits the master" Xu Ziying saw the master of Xuanfa looking at him, he knew that he was going to talk about himself, and hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute, in front of the master, all the masters and the sect were heavy-handed, and they didn't dare to owe the courtesy, but they didn't kneel down and hold themselves up with a strong force.

"Well, let the master smile, the apprentice and the master's disciple know each other, and the cultivation time should be about the same" Dao Xing glanced at Xu Ziying and nodded, and then said to Master Xuanfa,

"Oh" Master Xuanfa was surprised, "My little apprentice has rarely walked in the rivers and lakes, so there is a fate"

"Juniors have the communication of juniors, let them go" Dao Xing said with a smile, "It's quite a junior apprentice who says that your apprentice has the style of a master, unlike my disciple who is stupid."

"The head of the Dao Xing said that he laughed, but I heard my disciple say that Ziying is a dragon with a heavy responsibility," the master of Xuanfa said with a smile,

"Oh, oh"

"Haha" Xuanfa and Dao Xing looked at each other and smiled, these two people understood, these two juniors were talking about each other's good, "call good deeds" Master Xuanfa shouted to the door, and a monk hurried to go.

After a while, I saw a little monk with oily hair and flour face come into the house, bow to the Xuanfa, and bow to the Tao.

"The younger generation's good deeds meet the head of the Taoist, Senior Brother Ziying"

"Exemption from courtesy" Dao Xing stretched out his hand, and gently held up the little monk who was about to kneel down, this is for the sake of the face of the master of Xuanfa, just when Xu Ziying was about to kneel and worship, the same is true of Xuanfa, how can he extinguish his own prestige and show the mind of others.

"You take Ziying's nephew to go for a walk outside," Xuanfa said to the good deeds,

With such good deeds, Xu Ziying and Xu Ziying both fell out of the door and went outside, leaving only the indoors, Dao Xing and Xuanfa.

"Shaoqing, the head of Sikong is coming, we will plan the matter of accepting apprentices this time, and we have to get an idea for a long matter" Xuanfa saw that the two of them had gone, so he said softly, and Dao Xing nodded,

The three factions accepted apprentices, which was originally their own affairs, but because they were going to each faction for three years to move around in the hope of setting up the apprenticeship location in their own Longhu Mountain, it was obviously for the name of the three factions, but the three factions and the Tiandao Palace all have a relationship, and it is not easy to refuse, and the three families agreed to this move after some discussion, but after all, the apprentices are masters of the sect, and they are related to the tradition of Taoism, so they should be treated carefully.

"Coming" Dao Xing looked out of the door, and sure enough, after a while, he saw a middle-aged man with a snow-white robe and a long sword in his hand, and his face was purple.

"The two of you are Yaxing, how to say this, let's give me an idea" The person who spoke was Sikong Jian, the head of the Law Sword Sect, Sikong Jian came in, hugged his fists, and found a place to sit down, ignoring the chief on the side, and said to himself.

The two smiled bitterly at each other, this Sikong Jian thought that he had such a temper, with a rigid face, and it was as if someone owed him a few buckets of rice. But this person's swordsmanship is superb, and his Dao technique is extremely exquisite, and when he fights, no one dares to say that he will not lose.

"Don't worry, this is the last resort of Xiaodao" Seeing that Sikong Jian was like this, he took the problem to himself, it was indeed he who was running around in the three factions, and set the matter of accepting apprentices in Longhu Mountain.

"I know, it's not your fault, I'm asking the two of you here" Sikong Jian saw that justice was about to pour bitter water again, and quickly interrupted, since he came to his sect three years ago to talk about this matter, he didn't pour bitter water with him, but don't look at Sikong Jian's words, he was a warm-hearted person, and when the three factions arrived, he first agreed to accept apprentices in Longhu Mountain.

"Hehe" is sneering, he also knows the temperament of Sikong Jian, but he still said, "In recent years, my Heavenly Dao Palace Dao system has declined, and the number of cultivators is not as good as a year, until I take over the position of head of the sect, there are only thirty-eight serious disciples left, which also includes myself and the three uncles, three years ago, a few more disciples unfortunately lost, I can't watch the Dao system be broken, lose the sect, and be indifferent, so I have to beg the three factions to help."

"The three factions are the Taishan Beidou in the world today, and every hundred years of apprenticeship plan, is a foot in the self-restraint, and please bear with one or two" is a long fist salute, the three of them quickly stood up, and returned the salute.

"Alas, tell you not to pour bitter water, you still come" Sikong Jian's purple face turned even redder, "Zhengyi, you also sit"

was walking slowly to the next head and sat down, the four of them were speechless for a while, but after a long time, they heard Master Xuanfa say, "This matter of accepting disciples is a major matter of the sect, although everyone is accepting disciples in the Heavenly Dao Palace, but it is not good to interfere with the practices of each family, according to the old man's opinion, they still accept their own affairs."
