Taoist chanting

Traveling across the ocean and flying to his hometown, Wandering Island, which he has not been to for more than 200 years, Zhang Xuanan did not feel the feeling of being close to his hometown.

He lived like a pig and a dog back then, and his life was worthless. It was the master who rescued him from the mud ditch and taught him with great painstaking efforts, and gave him a different and wonderful life.

He doesn't want to disappoint his master. With nearly 20 years left, he has already handed over the capital arrest department to his senior sister. He travels around without an official, hoping to find a breakthrough opportunity to advance to the sixth rank in one fell swoop and earn a big face for his master.

Before Master went out, he asked him to talk to many people, and he placed high hopes on them.

That kid Ye Weiyin was too impatient, he failed to pass the pass the year before last, and was stuck at the fifth level of perfection, and basically missed the sixth level in the lower realm.

Zhang Xuanan walked on the country roads, watching neighbors quarreling over trivial matters, seeing women crying and scolding useless men for the lack of brown rice in the vat, watching children steal yam eggs from other people's fields, watching the joys and sorrows of the world, and seeing the suffering and struggle of the bottom... He is like a transparent passerby, gradually recalling many pasts that he has deliberately forgotten.

Either in the heavy rain or under the scorching sun, wandering on the island, he finally developed a special feeling for his strange hometown.

I can't tell the truth, maybe it's the feelings he has been missing since he was a child.

Holding a handful of soil from the vegetable field in his own yard, Zhang Xuanan packed it in an empty jade bottle, walked into the wandering city by the sea, rented a yard near the water, and walked around every day. stay a while.

Twenty years from now, this place will become a cage for countless monks. With the decline of their aura, they will return to heaven and earth after their old age. At that time, they will be full of hostility and unresolved resentment. A new cycle of reincarnation is about to begin.

On a certain autumn morning, Zhang Xuanan was alone on the rocks by the sea, watching the rising sun coming out of the water, and fell into a trance for a moment.

He seemed to have captured the evolution of the sun's fire, and the jumping light waves made him deeply enigmatic.

Perhaps, with a little inspiration, he can understand the higher fire domain than the fire rules.

The master once joked that he was a talent for cultivating magic that was delayed by the sword cultivator. Let him just be himself and don't have any scruples, but he just coveted the swordsman's unrestrained style and powerful strength.

Returning to the inn, Zhang Xuanan paid 20 years of rent at one time, he walked into the quiet room of the guest house, and started the formation retreat.

……

Also in autumn, five people including Wei Jingjie and Chen Zhong, who had been out fighting for many years, returned to the sect.

Having seen many cruel lives and deaths, they were fortunate enough to see the peerless demeanor of the Guanzhu suppressing the heroes with a single sword. When they faced the greetings from the same sect, they all felt as if they had passed away.

Morning bells and evening drums, and the sound of scriptures are the comforts in this world that make them feel at ease.

……

The West Hall of the Old Taoist Temple.

The head of the mountain and the temple master discussed the arrangements for the fairy temple after they crossed the catastrophe and ascended to the upper realm, what level of restrictions to set for several treasure houses, how to arrange for the guardians, and so on.

He had to take advantage of the time when the temple master was in the sect, and negotiate in advance to implement it, otherwise the temple master ran outside and disappeared, who would he turn to?
"You can make up your own mind about these small matters, Guardian... If you have any candidates, just call me to see."

Zhang Guanzhu said with a smile, he is used to being a hands-off shopkeeper.

Given the unique status of Xianlingguan in the Daan Dynasty, it is only natural to have a place of guardian.

Of course, the head of the mountain has a guardian candidate, otherwise he will wait for the day lily to be cold when the viewer arranges, and he deliberately conducts inspections decades in advance. This person is very important. Vulgar, once again, has extraordinary perseverance and can withstand the hardships of ebb and flow for 500 years.

Even with the Qi Gathering Formation they arranged in advance, which can maintain a minimum amount of spiritual energy, the guardian will stand alone for a long time, and his cultivation base will drop a little bit, which is an extremely mental torture.

"Monastery wait a moment, I will call them to come."

The head of the mountain walked out of the west hall, and issued a summons outside the door, summoning two candidates to come quickly.

Not long after, the two followed the head of the mountain into the hall and saluted the sitting temple master.

The head of the mountain introduced the two, and said via voice transmission: "Dai Xing, who has practiced for more than 150 years, was promoted to the late Jindan stage five years ago. He is a native of Xialin Village. He has excellent fire aptitude and a tenacious personality.

Zhang Tiande, who has practiced for more than 140 years, was promoted to the late stage of Jindan ten years ago. He is a native of Zhangjiazhuang. "

Zhang Wenfeng heard that the young man named Zhang Tiande was a monk from Zhangjiazhuang, so he knew who the head of the mountain wanted.

After asking them a few general questions, they were sent off.

For the time being, he will not express his position on who will be the guardian. He will make a decision after waiting for the investigation of the waiting hall to produce a detailed file. Trusting the head of the mountain is one thing, and it is related to the continuation of the sect. It is better to be cautious.

Perhaps, I will ask Mr. You to help me calculate one or two.

At the end of the year, Zhuang Yu, who had been promoted to the fifth level more than ten years ago and returned to take charge of the Waiting Hall, handed over a detailed dossier to the viewer, comparing Dai Xing and Zhang Tiande's character, potential, perseverance, etc. in various aspects.

Zhang Guanzhu looked at each item, and he had a rough idea in his mind, and he only had to wait for You Lao to see the person before making sure.

"Master, Junior Brother Xuan'an has not left the retreat in Wandering Island for four months. It seems that he has found an opportunity to make a breakthrough. I have arranged for Ye Weiyin to go nearby to protect him, in case someone makes trouble at a critical moment."

Zhuang Yu reported one thing.

"Xuan'an's hometown is Wandering Island, which is very good. I hope he can break through in one fell swoop."

Zhang Wenfeng nodded approvingly, and then warned: "Pay close attention to all the monks in the sect who have not advanced to the fifth rank. Time is running out. Don't make any big troubles. The rules are like this, and I can't do anything about it."

There were more than 500 monks in its heyday, most of them failed to cross the hurdle of the fourth rank, some died of old age, and some returned to hermit. Now there are only more than 700 monks left in the sect.

"Yes, the disciple understands."

After talking for a while, Zhuang Yu resigned.

Zhang Wenfeng sent a summons to You Lao, took out the scriptures and read them carefully.

Qian Jing has already advanced to the fifth level, so he doesn't need to worry about it. I heard that the little apprentice He Kuyu didn't pass the fifth level for the first time because he went too smoothly. After accumulating enough, he found the feeling and retreated last year.

He was really dumbfounded when he heard about it.

He promised Mo Ye that he would take good care of He Kuyu, but he must not be a moth.

In case He Kuyu can't pass the pass and advance to the fifth level this time, he can only hide He Kuyu in the secret realm in violation of the regulations to avoid the coming disaster. He Kuyu has endured too little hardship and insufficient experience since his practice, so he is not suitable to be a guardian .

About a quarter of an hour later, Yu Mengchang walked in from the outside.

Hearing the temple master calling him back from afar, he just took a look at the two disciples.

The Guanzhu added: "I would like to ask you to choose a guardian who can guard the mountain gate from among the two. The matter is very important and I have to alarm you."

"The guardian... is indeed a big deal, the old man will go and have a look."

You Mengchang remembered the aura of the two people on the file, and then disappeared.

Three days later, You Mengchang appeared again and said: "Comparatively speaking, Zhang Tiande is more qualified to be the guardian, and his luck is good. Didn't Yang Shuilan refine the Shouyuan Pill, ask her for one and give it to the guardian preparing."

In addition to warlock methods, You Lao can also drill people's dreams. He entered the dreams of two people respectively by inducing them, and conducted a "heart-questioning" test on them.

"Good, then Zhang Tian got it."

Zhang Guanzhu laughed.
