Emperor Shentongjian

Chapter 274
The distance from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain is very long, and Wenxinjing makes this distance even longer and unreachable.

Those who run wildly may be paralyzed on the stone ladder due to exhaustion, and those who move forward steadily may also be held back by the illusion.

Only the Lingtai is clear, and the monks full of endurance reach the top of the mountain.

A Taoist priest wearing a Hunyuan scarf and cassock stood in front of Chaotian Temple, followed by a few Taoists behind him, "Poverty Dao is your introduction teacher, Daoist Qianhe."

The introduction teacher is the Taoist who guides the monks to salute. He loudly explained the procedures and rules of the crown and scarf meeting, read the origin of the crown and scarf ritual, and said, "Why do you wear the crown and scarf? The protection of the patriarch's Dao power makes the journey less bumpy. After the crown scarf, Baozuo Tianting, registered with the patriarchs of the three religions, the ancestors of each way, and the gods of all directions. With the protection of the gods, even if you can't ascend, you won't fall into the cycle of animal life."

"Some monks don't hold the heart of the Tao, don't follow the rituals of the Tao, don't guard against arrogance and arrogance, and turn around and want to forcefully wear the crown, and the ghosts and gods will laugh at him. Such monks are not qualified to worship in the sect."

Taoist Qianhe glanced at the faces of the monks below, "Today Zhan Changfeng, Tai Shuyang, Lihua, Xie Baiyao, Li Long, Yan Heng, and Zhensu are participating in the crown and scarf meeting. Please get the clothes, shoes and socks first. The scriptures, Take a bath and burn incense in the monastery, meditate for six days, and wait for the assembly to begin."

"Here!"

The monks took the clothes, shoes, socks, and the essentials of the scriptures from those small roads, followed the guidance to the abode in the mountain, and each chose a room to enter.

Zhan Changfeng bathes and burns incense every day, and studies the scriptures. It's not that these scriptures have not been read, and there is a need to read them carefully, but it is just a way of meditation.

But not everyone can stay in the room for six days without going out. On the third night, someone knocked on the door, it was the martial artist named Yan Heng.

"I'm bothering fellow Taoists. It's boring to practice all day. A few of us set up vegetable and fruit spiritual water in the forest. Let's gossip together and discuss the principles of practice."

During the retreat period, you can’t drink meaty wine, you can only eat vegetable and fruit spirit water, of course this is not the point, the last sentence is.

Zhan Changfeng followed his heart, put down the scriptures and said, "Then bother."

Yan Heng grinned, "I saw that Fellow Daoist has never left the house. I think he is a serious person, and he is afraid of disturbing Fellow Daoist Qingxiu."

"Calm down, where do you go? What do you do, it doesn't matter."

"Yes, yes!"

On the tree stumps in the forest, there are handfuls of fruits and vegetables supported by lotus leaves, with bamboo cups and a pot of spiritual water beside them.

Yan Heng said, "The fruits and vegetables are picked from pear blossoms in the forest, the bamboo cups are cut from real vegetables, and the spiritual water is brought by Li Long. They are made from local materials. It is convenient for you to sit down."

Sure enough, you can sit casually, without a decent stool.

The demon cultivator named Pear Blossom was lying on a branch, throwing a red fruit up and down, crossing his legs to entertain himself, and when he saw someone coming, he waved his hand as a greeting.

The woman named Zhensu is a practitioner, sitting cross-legged on a big rock, demure and dignified.

There was also Li Long lying on the ground, shouting, "Let me slow down first, who knows that the Lingquan is guarded by someone, and was almost caught, and dared to come back after walking halfway up the mountain."

Zhen Su joked, "Then you must be the first monk to be expelled from the Crown Gathering for stealing spring water."

"Hey, none of you can escape, you are all accomplices."

"Tai Shuyang must not be able to get along with each other." Xie Baiyao looked unhappy, "My master kindly invited me, but I received a cold-eyed knife."

Zhan Changfeng sat in a random place, expecting these monks to be familiar with each other, Yan Heng smiled and picked up Xie Baiyao's words, "Everyone has their own temperament, but have you noticed that our introduction teacher is actually a strong man who is out of the ordinary?" Or, my God, I still can’t believe it, didn’t it mean that Senior Foundation Establishment came to introduce it?”

"Could it be because of Tai Shuyang? I heard that he comes from one of the Seventh Family, and he is also a rare genius." Li Long gossiped.

"Come on." Xie Baiyao scorned brightly, "The Seventh Family. The relationship between the princes and Hengdu is not very good now. Chaotianguan will make an exception for a small family member like him?"

He openly commented on the relationship between the Seventh Family, the princes and Hengdu, which shocked the few people who heard it. Yan Heng said, "You really dare to say that."

"There is nothing to dare to say."

Yan Heng stared at Xie Baiyao carefully, "To be honest, most of the family members I have met are cautious in their words and deeds. Abandoned villainous young woman, domineering, ignorant, I thought you were the latter type, but I didn't expect you to be able to ask the way of thinking, could it be that you have stuffed treasures for Chaotianguan?"

"Go ahead, do you need a salute?" He took a sip of the spring water, bit the fruit, faced a few curious and probing eyes, and scolded, "The rules are the most annoying, it can make you into another person, so you can't do that." Don't do that."

"What shame and morality are you talking about? Do you think there is nothing in your heart? You have to cover it up with a good reputation. It's dirty inside. I'm different. No matter how dirty my heart is, my face is as dirty as it is. If you don't accept it, beat me up. .”

A fruit came from an angle and hit him on the head, Xie Baiyao jumped up and was furious, "Donkey spirit, you beg to be beaten!"

The Yaoxiu took out another fruit, "I wanted to beat you up a long time ago, but in the end, I'm not a donkey spirit, but a tree demon, the kind that can bloom pear blossoms."

"It turned out to be a pear tree demon! I said why you have a kind of fragrance on your body, and thought that demons also wear fragrance and powder."

Xie Baiyao saw that she wiped the fruit and ate it, so she put down her guard.

Everyone looked interesting, and Zhensu sighed, "The theory like Xie Daoyou is rare, it is another kind of consistency, but if the mind is not clear enough, and the surface is always rough, it is difficult to cultivate the mind."

Yan Heng: "At least thank you fellow Taoist, one thing is good, there are bad words, but no evil deeds."

Xie Baiyao waved his hand, "I know what's wrong with me, but I don't know how to do it. When I find someone with a true temperament like me who laughs and scolds on the surface, I will worship him as my teacher, and I will become real and comfortable." and also!"

"Fellow Daoist Xie already has a goal. What about everyone, which ancestor do you plan to worship in the ceremony?" Yan Heng sat down and said solemnly, "I practice martial arts, and I want to worship the ancestor of martial arts."

Li Long also said, "I'm the same as you. What I admire the most is Wu Zu's great disciple, Zong Han Wu Zun. It is rumored that he can shift a world with one hand. This great power makes people yearn for it."

Zhensu said, "When you admire the immortals and feel free, you should worship in the immortal gate, and you will not be disturbed by the world of mortals, and you will not be immersed in the chaos of the nine heavens.".

Seeing them, Zhan Changfeng said honestly, "If you don't have a special way to follow, you should take heaven and earth as your teacher."

"Hahaha, fellow daoist, you can think about it slowly, the left and right are just registered numbers, how can you really get what you want."

"Well, actually, I want to pray to each of the Dao Meridians, maybe luck will come, and I will really be able to practice in the sect in the future."

"You are not afraid that the ancestors will dislike you for being too greedy and don't want you."

"Hey, I have a lot of qualifications, and it would be great to find a gang to settle down in the future." Li Long laughed at himself.

The others stopped talking. There is still a huge gap between ideals and reality. They are sitting here today, and maybe after a while they will go to the secret realm for their livelihood.

The demon on the tree said slowly, "I want to become a fairy, and become a great fairy."
