There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 183 The Guest From Afar

In front of Qianmuguanshan Gate.

Two middle-aged men wearing gray and black linen shorts. They are both over seven feet tall and have exotic looks. They are characterized by deep eye sockets and high nose bridges, and their hair is worn casually.

The most eye-catching thing is the densely tattooed strange eyes on their hands. The flashing light around the eyes looks like countless sunflowers planted on their hands from a distance.

When people passing by look at them with curious eyes, one person always responds with a smile. Occasionally, when someone asks out of curiosity, he will patiently talk to them.

The other person kept a cold face and remained silent, as if someone owed him money.

"Boom"

The distant bell suddenly rang from the front hall of Qianmu Temple, passed through the lively front hall, crossed the vast mountain climbing road, and reached the mountain gate.

Then, eight bells rang in succession. When the people nearby heard these nine bells, they all looked towards Qianmu Mountain.

When the two weirdos in front of the mountain gate heard the bell, they looked at each other and then politely retreated ten feet away from the mountain gate.

After a while, an inner disciple quickly ran out, bowed to the two weirdos, and then handed over a reply!
  These two weirdos were the two second-level monks from the First Sect.

The one who is always smiling is Huo Douzi, and the one who stands with a serious face like a wooden stake is Batu.

Huo Douzi has a mustache, which makes him look full of comedy, and his face seems to have intentional wrinkles, making him easy to get close to.

Batu's body is different from other weapon cultivators. He is very thin, and the linen clothes on his body make him look as light and weak as a bamboo pole.

The person who received the reply was Huo Douzi. He picked it up and read it from cover to cover in a friendly manner. Then he took out a greeting note from Tang Jin and handed it over.

The inner disciples respectfully took the greeting cards and walked back with the greeting cards. Hundreds of inner disciples walked quickly down the mountain, and the pilgrims were also politely invited out of the mountain gate.

After the pilgrims left, the inner disciples formed a team to welcome them at the mountain gate and on the way up the mountain according to Taoist etiquette.

Soon after, Yang Hou led the heads of each courtyard to the door, and bowed to Huo Douzi and Batu with fists in his hands from a distance of ten feet.

When Huo Douzi and Batu saw this, they both put away their informal attitudes and bowed with equal etiquette.

The people and pilgrims nearby watched curiously, and some smart people were already guessing the identities of these two people, preparing to fawn over them when they went down the mountain.

In the expectant eyes of everyone, Yang Hou stepped forward, stood a foot away from the two of them, and bowed: "Uncle Changqing, please come to the mountain to talk to us."

"Thank you for leading the way."

Huo Douzi was as amiable as the rumors, and Batu was as amiable as the rumors. He didn't say a word, but he couldn't see any arrogance. His expression was just cold and dull, like a mute who couldn't speak.

The two of them followed Yang Hou into the mountain gate. Surrounded by the heads of the inner gate, they slowly climbed the steps behind the gate. When they walked to the inner gate square, the boy from the mountaintop dojo sent another reply.

"Taoist Changqing is so kind."

Huo Douzi took out a brand new gilded invitation book, wrote a greeting note on the spot and sent it off.

By the time a group of them arrived in front of the dojo on the top of the mountain, Wang Ping had already been waiting for a long time wearing a formal dark blue Taoist robe. Yu Lian's huge body was wrapped around the beam of the gate entering the garden, and a pair of vertical pupils looked at the owner's scrutinizing gaze. Sweeping through their souls.    "Taoist Master Wan'an..."

Huo Douzi saluted, and Batu behind him also saluted silently. This was a recognition of Wang Ping's master's strength.

"You two Taoists are very polite, please take a seat inside." Wang Ping turned sideways and made an invitation gesture.

"Don't dare, fellow Taoist please ask first." Huo Douzi stopped when he was one step away from Wang Ping, and at the same time stopped Batu behind him.

Wang Ping looked at Huo Douzi seriously, then showed a happy smile and said: "Fellow Taoist, please..." After that, he was no longer polite and walked directly across the gate of the dojo. Yulian fell smoothly and shrank his body. After flying around Wang Ping in a circle, it wrapped around Wang Ping's left arm and looked at the two of them with the master's eyes again.

"The soul of the little old man with the goatee is stained red with blood. He seems to be entangled with cause and effect, but his soul is extremely condensed and has not been affected by cause and effect. Moreover, he extremely advocates order. The mute who follows him should be practicing A special technique where the soul is completely in a state of silence. Some spirits seem to like him very much. As long as his soul is activated, he will be surrounded by spirits in an instant."

Yu Lian communicated with Wang Ping in the spiritual sea and told everything she had just discovered.

When Wang Ping heard this, a look of curiosity flashed across his face, and then he led the guests to the tea table that had been set up in the middle of the garden. As for Yang Hou and others, although they were full of curiosity, they could only stop at the garden gate.

"The best sandalwood is better than the sandalwood used by the Xia Dynasty royal family."

Huo Douzi followed Wang Ping's invitation and sat down next to the host, while Batu took the next seat. When he smelled the sandalwood on the tea table, he closed his eyes and took two deep breaths of enjoyment.

"Fellow Taoist, have you ever been to the Xia royal family?"

"Twenty years ago, I wanted to come to Zhongzhou to preach. I first visited the Xia royal family. The emperor received me warmly, but regretfully told me that this would not work. Within two days of leaving the palace, someone taught me why You cannot preach in Zhongzhou.”

Huo Douzi stretched out his left hand, opened his sleeve and said, "Look..."

There is a very eye-catching sun mark of the True Yang Sect printed on his left arm, which is in sharp contrast to the sun mark with strange eyes tattooed elsewhere.

"This mark is on my spiritual veins, and it matches my spiritual veins very well. If you want to clean it, you have to scrape off a layer of the spiritual veins in my body." Huo Douzi explained with a smile: "I can survive. , relying on the order rules of Zhongzhou, your order is great, not as paranoid as the Sun God Cult."

Wang Ping did not comment on this. He just washed the teacups slowly and poured the tea that had been brewed in advance for each of them. Then he showed a friendlier expression than Huo Douzi and invited: "Please drink tea." .”

"It's good tea again. When I came to this area, I immediately fell in love with this pot of tea made by the locals. I heard that it is a frying technique passed down by fellow Taoists?"

"But the trail is not worth mentioning."

"Often the great righteousness can only be seen through the small way, but the big way can only reveal the small righteousness."

"Fellow Taoist, you think too highly of me. There is no righteousness in ordinary means."

"It's Taoist friend who is humble..."

Wang Ping didn't like pulling back and forth. He smiled and invited again: "Please drink tea."

Huo Douzi stopped talking and picked up the tea cup with Batu. After drinking the tea in the same way as Wang Ping, Yu Lian reminded him in the spiritual sea: "They seem to be imitating you, and they are so similar. .”

After a cup of tea, Wang Ping took the initiative and said, "I have heard a little bit about why the two fellow Taoists came, but I definitely can't give you anything. If you have any ideas, just ask."
