Chapter 1 Preface
"Our Chinese lineage can be traced back to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period, but it was not systematic at that time. It was not until Zhang Daoling founded Taoism at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and worshiped Li Er as the Taoist ancestor that our Chinese Taoism had a standardized framework..."

Shushan Immortal Alliance, Mingdao Cliff.

This is a cliff, consisting of more than a dozen low stone cliffs, which are not connected to each other, and there is a distance of five or six meters between them.

The morning glow is rising, and golden light falls on the stone cliffs, shining brightly.

Every day, all disciples in Shushan need to come here to listen to sermons and recite scriptures.

In the center of more than a dozen stone cliffs, there is a Taoist platform that looks like a lotus and is suspended in mid-air. There is an old man with white hair sitting cross-legged on it. He is telling the origin of the Xuanmen Dharma lineage.

His voice was calm and without any emotion, but he spoke very carefully, and all the disciples listened attentively.

Only one person was not interested in listening and even dozed off in front of everyone.

She was wearing a purple-patterned Taoist robe. She looked about seventeen or eighteen years old. She had a tall ponytail and two dragon beards hanging from her forehead, adding a bit of agility and liveliness. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains. As for Dai, if the lips are painted with sand, they will be red without spots.

She is the only descendant of the head of Shu Mountain - Shi Daohan. She has only been in the industry for three years, but she has already achieved considerable attainments in the fields of medicine, fortune telling, fortune telling, fortune telling, and divination. She has even surpassed some of the elders.

"Huh...huh..."

Listening to the faint sound of dozing, the old man on the lotus platform had black lines on his face. He flicked a light spot the size of a pebble on Shi Daohan's forehead with a flick of his finger.

"Hey! Which brat is carrying out a sneak attack from behind?!"

Shi Daohan jumped up, covered his forehead and shouted.

"It's me, a brat. I wonder what senior Han has to say?" the old man on the lotus platform said with a dark face.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Shi Daohan immediately wilted, bowed, and said with a playful smile: "Elder Cangyun, please don't offend this disciple. How can I bear the senior's shout?"

"Don't be so playful with me! I'm talking about the origin of Xuanmen up here, but you're dozing down below. Are you sincerely against me?" Elder Cangyun said angrily.

"The elder is wronged." Shi Daohan cried with tears in his eyes: "Last night I drew talisman in the Tai Chi Hall all night, and I haven't slept a wink yet. I was really sleepy just now. I definitely haven't." It’s disrespectful to the elders.”

"More..." Shi Daohan curled his lips and muttered in a low voice: "I have already memorized the history of the origin of our Xuanmen lineage. It doesn't matter whether I listen to it or not."

"You know how to memorize it, so I will test you on three questions today. If you can answer them all correctly, your credits will not be deducted for disrespecting the elders and being distracted during morning classes.
If you fail to answer one sentence, or if you answer incorrectly, not only will you be punished twice, but I will also punish you by thinking about walking over a cliff for half a month. "

Elder Cangyun looked down at Shi Daohan from a high position.

"No problem, Elder Cangyun can just ask."

Shi Daohan waved his hands frankly and sat back down again, holding his cheek with one hand, waiting for Elder Cangyun to ask questions.

Elder Cangyun asked: "Let me ask you, in what period was the Shangqing Sect founded, and who was its founder?"

Shi Daohan replied: "The Shangqing Sect was founded in the Jin Dynasty. The founder was Wei Huacun. My Xuanmen disciples all respectfully call her Mrs. Wei."

"The Quanzhen sect is divided into the Southern Sect and the Northern Sect. Who are their ancestors?"

"The Northern Sect of the Quanzhen sect, which is the original Quanzhen Religion, was founded by Wang Chongyang and Wang Zhenren who combined Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. Later, Zhang Boduan, a native of Ziyang Mountain, founded the Southern Sect on the original basis."

"Then what's the difference between the Northern Sect and the Southern Sect?"

"Beijing Zong advocates that life comes first, and life comes later, while Southern Zong advocates life first, and nature comes later."

Shi Daohan's answers to the three questions before and after were fluent, and they all blurted out directly without any thinking.

Elder Cangyun was astonished. He knew that Shi Daohan's talent and learning were far beyond ordinary people, so he deliberately chose a few relatively unpopular questions. Unexpectedly, he still asked her to answer them.

Shi Daohan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Elder Cangyun, I have answered all three questions. I wonder if there are any mistakes in my answers?"

"Ahem." Elder Cangyun coughed twice and said, "No, all the answers are correct."

"In that case, I don't need to attend the morning class today, right? Can you let me go back to bed early?"

Shi Daohan stood up and prepared to leave.

Elder Cangyun didn't stop him, but when Shi Daohan walked away, he seemed to suddenly remember something.

"Wait!"

Shi Daohan turned around after hearing the sound and looked at Elder Cangyun suspiciously.

"Some time ago, the Horagaka Magic Academy in the West contacted us and said that it wanted to send a student to study here in Shushan, and we can also send a disciple to study with them, which is the so-called exchange student."

"You are the one with the widest range of knowledge and the best qualifications among all the disciples in Shushan, so the master asked me to tell you to pack your things in the next few days and prepare to go to Horagaka Academy for further studies." Elder Cangyun said. .

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar on Mingdao Cliff, and monks from all departments cast envious glances.

"I have long heard that besides the Chinese Mystic Sect, there are many places in the world where there are extraordinary beings similar to cultivators.

For example, the alchemists and magicians of the West; the Shinto people of the Eastern Fuso; and the spiritual mediums of the Southeast Asia... It is a pity that I have never had the opportunity to meet them, otherwise I must have a good competition. "

"What kind of alchemy mediums are all scum in front of us sword cultivators." A disciple from the sword cultivator academy said.

Not to be outdone, the disciples of the Medicine Cultivation Department said: "I think we Medicine Cultivation Department can also give them a try." The disciples of the Body Cultivation Department showed off their tendons like brass and said: "Physical Cultivation is the king. , I can teach them how to behave with just one punch."

"Don't get involved with warriors with simple minds and well-developed limbs." The disciple of Le Xiu Department curled his lips.

"Who do you think is simple-minded? Don't you dare touch it!"

"Come on, I'm afraid you won't succeed!"

Disciples from various departments and colleges have always been dissatisfied with each other and would start fighting whenever they met. Just like now, they started fighting as they talked.

The scene suddenly fell into chaos, but Elder Cangyun did not pay attention to them, but looked at Shi Daohan and said:

"This is a rare opportunity for in-depth exchanges between Eastern and Western Taoism, and it is also an opportunity for you to increase your experience."

Shi Daohan, however, pointed at himself with a look of astonishment and said, "You want me to go to that Hoka Magic Academy on behalf of Shushan to further my studies? Elder, are you not mistaken?"

Elder Cangyun: "Why, aren't you willing?"

"No, no, no." Shi Daohan quickly waved his hand and explained: "I am indeed very interested in Western magic, but the problem is, I don't know how to read foreign languages. If I go there, I will be like a mute. I can’t communicate with people.”

Elder Cangyun twirled his beard and smiled mysteriously, and said: "You don't have to worry about this. I have a quick method here called [Divine Language Communication], which can help you quickly become proficient in the languages ​​of various countries."

"Proficient in the languages ​​​​of various countries? Really or fake? We still have such a method in Shushan?" Shi Daohan was surprised.

Elder Cangyun said: "After all, it is one of the top ten mystical sects in China. If it doesn't even have this little trick, then there is no need to hang around in this land of China."

With the development of the times, the Shushan Immortal League, one of the top ten Taoist sects in China, naturally understood the importance of communicating with foreign countries.

Therefore, there are academic discussions and exchanges with foreign practitioners every year, and the Divine Language Communication was created to facilitate communication with international friends.

After saying that, Elder Cangyun stretched out a finger and pointed at Shi Daohan's eyebrows, and carved a scripture into the square inch of her spiritual platform.

The content of this scripture is not much, there are only more than 100 scriptures, and it is not very obscure.

It only took less than a cup of tea for Shi Daohan to fully understand this passage. He opened his mouth and said: "How are you?"

Elder Cangyun replied casually: "I'm fine, thank you."

Shi Daohan tried to speak an Oriental language that he had never learned before, and found that he could blurt it out.

"Ahem." Elder Cangyun coughed twice and said: "Actually, you don't have to deliberately speak foreign languages, because as long as you learn the divine language, no matter what you say, it will be automatically translated into the other person's mind into their language. .”

"That means even if I speak Chinese, those foreigners can understand me?" Shi Daohan's eyes widened.

"That's right." Elder Cangyun nodded.

"Barrier-free communication? So stupid?!" Shi Daohan was greatly shocked. He didn't expect the seniors in Shushan to be able to study such an evil method.

"boom!"

At this moment, a female disciple of the Lexiu Department fell to the ground with a "bang" from high in the sky, landing right in front of Elder Shi Daohan and Cangyun, causing a burst of smoke and dust to rise into the sky.

"I have met Elder Cangyun and Senior Sister Dao Han."

The female disciple of the Lexiu Department stood up and bowed, then cursed angrily at Yuankong: "Your grandma is so stupid. If I don't show my strength, will I be a sick cat? If I don't, I'll smash you brainless people to death." Warrior barbarian!"

After saying that, she was seen pulling the guqin up into the sky with one hand, swung the phoenix-tailed guqin made of ice jade and waved it in the face of a physical cultivation disciple. She was so powerful that people were dumbfounded.

However, Shi Daohan and Elder Cangyun did not react much, as if they had long been accustomed to this.

Because this is one of the special "scenery" of their Shushan Immortal League.

"Okay, the language problem has been solved for you. Now you can go to Horajaka Magic Academy to study?" Elder Cangyun looked at Shi Daohan.

Shi Daohan made an OK gesture and said: "It will be no problem if we can communicate without any barriers. I can't wait to see how their so-called magic in the West is different from our Eastern magic."

"The Dharma lineage that can last for thousands of years must have its own extraordinary features. You must adopt a learning attitude to understand it, and don't be arrogant and arrogant."

After a pause, Elder Cangyun continued: "Don't think that no one can control you outside. If you make a mistake, your credits will still be deducted. At the end of the three-year semester, if your credits are not up to standard, you will still have to pay them back." I have to study abroad for another three years.

But if everything goes well, after the three-year semester is over, you can go back to Shushan directly to serve as an elder. "

Hearing this, Shi Daohan's heart was moved. After the three-year semester, can he come back and become an elder directly?

"Is there such a good thing in the world? I really got a big deal!"

Shi Daohan could already imagine the image of a group of handsome young men surrounding her carrying a basin to wash her feet after she became an elder, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Elder Cangyun glanced at her sideways and said, "Don't be too happy too soon. As far as I know, the management of Horagaka Academy is very strict. After you get there, it's best to restrain your temper. Shao Cause trouble for me.”

Shi Daohan wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and said confidently: "Elder Cangyun just needs people to build my dojo until I return."

"Okay, then Cangyun has met our future Elder Daohan here first!"
