Chapter 9: Worship

In this quiet occasion, Li Xun and Wang Huan only cared about climbing up, and Ji Yan and Wu Qi looked at each other and didn't dare to say anything, they were really aggrieved. The more quiet and unbearable it is, the more I feel that time is passing slowly, as if frozen in frame, the person in the painting has not moved, and life has been long. Two adults and two little babies silently walked towards Zixiao Peak......

The end of the floating ladder is connected with a cliff of Zixiao Peak, just climb the cliff, suddenly the breeze blows, the fragrance hits the face, there is green grass in front of you, red flowers echo each other, the terrain is flat and the spring water is murmuring. This cliff is called "welcome cliff", a person-high stone tablet stands on the side of the road, this road is the only way to go up the mountain, Li Xun two put down the doll behind them, tidy up the robe, lightly comb the residual hair of the Taoist bun, a pious worship, each holding a baby, walking towards the tree-lined path. The pavement is paved with thick shale, winding, extending upward, the roadside grass, bushes, a piece of emerald green comes into view, towering ancient trees can be seen everywhere, spring water dingdong, insects and birds murmuring, take a deep breath, even this breath can cleanse the soul, so uncomfortable. Seeing the natural beauty, the two dolls also relieved their earlier depression, looking left and right, curious. Wang Huan also explained what he saw and heard along the way, and even introduced a lot of the history of the sect. Not long ago, the four people have arrived at a pavilion in the middle of the road for pedestrians to rest and view, the pavilion style is classical, the glazed tile covers the roof, the four stone pillars made of white marble are supported, a good carved fence jade brick thing, the top of the pavilion gilt plaque is written on the four big characters of "Yunhai Xiantai", the gesture is vigorous and vigorous. When Wang Huan was introducing the origin of the pavilion and the plaque mentioned by the ancestor master, a few coughs interrupted their intoxication. Wang Huan looked up, only to see the senior brother shaking his forehead slightly towards him, then walked forward in his clothes, looked up, and wondered, "Why is he here?"

"Disciple Jin Dingfeng Li Xun, with Qianzhang Peak Wang Huan to meet Uncle Luo, Uncle Hao Yaxing, here to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the sea of clouds. Li Xun and Wang Huan hurriedly bent down and bowed, respecting the person in front of them. I saw a person standing on the pavilion with his hands in his hands, a moon-white coarse linen robe, a light cyan shirt inside, when the wind rose, you could see the light purple jade buckle tied around the waist, long hair to the waist, no shoes on both feet, facial features like a knife, two eyes indifferent, as if tired of the world's deceit, lonely and cold, wanting to turn people away.

"Hmm. The man who was called Uncle Luo looked into the distance, ignoring their existence, faintly, as if he had replied to a word.

Li Xun had also been prepared, but he was still a little embarrassed and wanted to stay away from here immediately. "The disciple was ordered by the master of the sect to go down the mountain to check the reason for last night's fight, and found two dolls in the abandoned village......" Li Xun was giving a brief explanation of the result this time, and he didn't want to be interrupted.

"I'm not him, they're up there, go!" As if cherishing words like gold, or tired of negotiating, Uncle Luo pointed in the direction of the Golden Dragon Palace, and then said no more, and continued to look at the thick sea of clouds in the distance.

Li Xun smiled bitterly at the moment, and the two bowed their heads again, passed through the pavilion, and hurried away without looking back.

"Senior Brother Li, what to say to Uncle Luo for no reason, it will make his old man unhappy, and the consequences will be unimaginable!" Wang Huan was surprised by Li Xun's previous answer to Uncle Luo.

"Senior brother, he is our little uncle, I met on the way, and people who don't know each other still say hello, not to mention his old man? Li Xun was also quite helpless about the scene just now.

"Dao Chief, who is that uncle, what are you doing there in a daze?" Ji Yan saw that the two of them seemed to mention taboos in their words, and couldn't help but be curious, and asked.

“...... You'll know later. Wang Huan wanted to say a few more words, but the words came to his mouth and he took them back.

Uncle Luo's unexpected encounter delayed the ascent of the mountain for a while, but it didn't matter. The four of them finally came to the gate of the Golden Dragon Palace. The road of stone slab repair extends from the foot to the temple gate, both sides are extremely wide, the road side is carved and decorated with all kinds of stone lions, the left and right sides of the temple door each squat with a three-zhang high stone carving stump, carry the stone tablet, the left side writes "heaven prays for blessing and auspiciousness", the right side writes "go down to the ground to drive away evil spirits and level the trouble", the golden light shines, the end is majestic, the horizontal plaque at the door of the main hall is just majestically written with the three big characters of "Golden Dragon Palace". The top floor of the main hall is paved with golden glazed tiles, the two ends of the temple ridge lie down with the kiss carved in stone, the vermilion door is open, enter the hall only to see sandalwood as a beam, the dragon body is entangled, lifelike, look up, only to see the golden dragon carved by golden silk nanmu entrenched and entangled, the dragon head is low condensed, the dragon's mouth is slightly open, a huge night pearl is contained in the mouth, the light in the hall is as bright as day. A purple gold copper furnace in the middle, three legs stand, the fragrance bursts spread in the hall, on both sides is the seat carved by mahogany, there is a fairy seat in the middle, at this time there is a kind old Taoist sitting on it, a cyan robe, wearing a purple and gold crown, silver eyebrows hang down to the root of the ear, the eyes are bright and bright, full of wisdom and vicissitudes. There are also a few people sitting on the seats on both sides, two people on the left and right sides, there are crane-haired children, there are also people who are in the prime of life, there are peerless fairies, and there are also hermit scholars, who have fairy bones.

"Disciple Li Xun, disciple Wang Huan visited the head and all the uncles. After Li Xun and Wang Huan entered the depths of the hall, they saw that the head of the gate and the first seat of the peaks were waiting, and hurriedly saluted and worshipped. Ji Yan and Wu Qi also guessed that the above people were all important people in the Heavenly Sword Sect, and they also learned from Li Xun and Wang Huan to kneel and bow.

"The two teachers and nephews are exempt, you two have been ordered to go out of the mountain, can you gain anything? Have you ever found out the reason for the battle last night?"

Li Xun and Wang Huan did not hide it, when they arrived in Wujia Village, how did they meet these two little babies, and the traces of the demons in the Soul Devouring Palace, everything should be reported. The elders present listened attentively, and when they heard that the entire village of Wujia Village had been sacrificed to the evil array, they all felt heartbroken and denounced the evil deeds of the Soul Devouring Palace. Half a pillar of incense, after the ceremony, Xuanqing Zhenren was silent.

"Senior brother, it seems that the senior monk of Jinguang Temple drove away the demons of the Soul Devouring Palace, and left these two little babies for me to take care of, I don't know what the senior brother wants?" The middle-aged Taoist sitting at the head of the left asked, wearing a gossip purple cloud robe, with clear and deep facial features, and when he mentioned the Soul Devouring Palace, he hated it, was jealous and hateful, and was compassionate.

"Senior Brother Wuji, everything can't come from sex, we haven't figured out the reason yet, so let's think about it in the long run. The crane-haired old man saw that his junior brother was so emotional, and he was inspired to teach, so he said a few more words.

"Senior Brother Lu, there is no problem with these two little babies, but why they fight, there are many reasons that we don't know, and we need to discuss with the senior monks of Jinguang Temple in the future, we can take in the two of them, one is to give an account to the dead people, and the other is to live up to the kindness of the senior monks, I don't know what the senior brother in charge has. On the right stood a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar, wearing a scarf, a robe, a long shirt, and a snow-white silk tied around his waist.

During this period, Xuanqing Zhenren never said a word, sometimes looking at the two kneeling dolls, and sometimes looking up to listen to the opinions of the first seats.

"Senior brothers and brothers, my Tianjian Gate preaches the true law of Taoism, rescues the people of Limin, Wujia Village has such a thing that hurts the heavens and the peace, people and gods are angry, fortunately, there are orphans left in the village, we should take care of it, introduce the fairy gate, as for the reason for this fight, I will ask Jinguang Temple in the future, I don't know what you think?" Xuan Qing said righteously, determined to put the two dolls under the door, and the first seat had no objections, one by one carefully looked at the two of them, and the heart of love for talent gradually emerged.

"In that case, which of the two disciples should be placed under the door?" Xuan Qing asked the crowd.

All of you here are old foxes who have been in business for many years, apprentices who have collected good roots and seedlings, and carried forward the exercises passed down by their ancestors. Today's two little babies, one builds a small foundation, and the other has an excellent backbone, which can be described as a rare opportunity, and the first seat of Zhufeng has long been willing to compete, and when he sees the head asking, he has long been unable to hold back.

"How about this, Senior Brother Luo of Tianzhu Peak didn't come, Senior Sister Li of Baiyun Peak is all female disciples, and I don't want to accept any more disciples, so let the remaining three peaks choose, how about it?" Xuan Qing saw that everyone was willing to fight, so in order to avoid injury and harmony, he still put forward a few opinions.

It was also Lu Jingtian who relied on the old and sold the old, and took the lead in making trouble: "I think that in order to avoid the two of them being homesick and sad, it is best to cultivate the two separately, so that the tall doll will be adopted by my peak." Lu Jingtian nodded Wu Qi and announced to everyone.

Yan Mingyuan, the head of Qianzhang Peak, shook his head and chuckled, thinking that the old fox was really shameless, but he didn't have the idea of accepting disciples, and strengthening the door vein was not something he was interested in, so he sold the personal favor of the senior brother and stopped talking.

Song Wuji, the first seat of Fu Mo Peak, didn't care about this, he was also scrambling, he was straightforward and straightforward: "Senior brother, what do you mean, I look at this baby to build a small foundation, the foundation for cultivating immortals is already there, and he is also a jealous and hateful person, suitable for practicing my Fu Demon Peak exercises, how can you say that you will grab it?" Song Wuji also pointed his finger Wu Qi and Lu Jingtian argued.

The battle between the two intensified, just arguing around Wu Qi, and finally even extended to the practice of learning, Xuan Qing had no choice but to reconcile: "Senior brother, junior brother, what kind of system do you two have become like this, and it is not a joke to fight for an apprentice, and pass it on?" ”

Lu Jingtian saw that the head of the house came forward to decide, and it was not easy to fight, so he had to be sullen and silent.

"As for this white-robed little baby, you ......" Xuan Qing didn't say much, but everyone understood in their hearts that today's competition is mainly for the doll that builds the foundation of Xiaocheng, as for this white little baby, although the roots are excellent and full of aura, but how many people have been talented and intelligent throughout the ages, and finally they are unknown to everyone.

"Master, this ...... Building a foundation is the first step in cultivating immortals, before building a foundation, excellent qualifications cannot guarantee a smooth path to immortals in the future, it is better to let him cultivate in an outer sect according to the regulations of the sect, and then return to our sect when the foundation is successful, what do you think?" Lu Jingtian was not in a hurry to bring Ji Yan under his disciples, but just said some of his own opinions.

Xuan Qing saw that the first seat had no objections, and finally it was decided.

Seeing this, Li Chanyue, the peak master of Baiyun Peak, got up and left, but said inadvertently when she got up: "I didn't inform Senior Brother Luo about the major matter of accepting apprentices, the family affection of the master back then is now gone, I will go first, Senior Brother Song will treat this orphan well!"

The fate of the two has changed subtly, and who can tell whether today's decision is right or wrong.
