Chapter 299

The sun and the moon rotate, another three days have passed, and the Taoist covenant between heaven and man will begin every five years.

Behind a quiet bamboo grove, a thin old man in Taoist robes sat on the futon. Although his beard and hair were all white, his breath was thick and long, which showed that his cultivation was not low.

And there was a small figure beside him, it was Xiaomeng.

On the left and right sides, there are a row of tables and cushions, which are undoubtedly prepared for guests who have come from afar.

Taoism pays attention to innocence and inaction. Although the covenant between heaven and man can be regarded as a major event, it does not pay attention to ostentation like Confucianism.There is only one seat and a pot of tea, just like a gathering of friends.

The guests came one after another, and after saying hello, they randomly found a seat and sat down.

Soon, Ye Chen also came here, and after slightly bowing his hands to the people present, he looked at the old man above the main seat, and said very politely: "Ye Chen in Hidden Sword Villa, I have met Senior Chisong."

This person is the head of the Tianzong of Taoism today, his name is Chisongzi, and his teacher is the famous Zhuang Zhou.Counting as Xunzi belongs to the same generation.

Chi Songzi took a look at the former, and couldn't help being slightly surprised. He could feel that the other party hadn't reached the realm of a master, but he couldn't see through it, and even felt a faint pressure.

Gently stroking his beard, he said, "Are you the gifted apprentice that Master Xun mentioned?"

"The tutor is Xunzi."

Ye Chen replied.

Hearing this, Chi Songzi said with emotion: "The green is better than the blue, and the ice water is colder than the water. It really is a new generation replacing the old."

While speaking, he glanced at Xiaomeng beside him again.

Some time ago, he suddenly had a junior sister who could be called a genius and evildoer, and now he saw a peerless talent with such a cultivation level at a young age, which really surprised him.

He thinks he is not a vulgar person, otherwise he would not be qualified to inherit Zhuangzi's mantle and become the head of Tianzong.

But compared to these two, the difference is not a star and a half, and they cannot be compared.

Hearing this, Ye Chen smiled, and then took out a thin book from his pocket.

He opened the mouth and said: "I came to the treasure land for the first time, and I didn't make much preparations. A small gift is not a respect!"

As he spoke, a gentle zhenqi emerged from the palm of his hand, supported the book in his hand, and handed it to the other party through the air.

Chi Songzi raised his hand to take it, held it in his hand and looked at it for a while, then his expression changed.

This is a real book, which is cut and bound from high-quality white paper. On the cover of the book, there are three big characters "Tao Te Ching".

Taoists retreated from the world, and paper was still a novelty for them, and this kind of book was never seen before.

Ye Chen said: "Taoists don't care about fame and wealth, and I have nothing to show for it, so I copied a Tao Te Ching to express my heart, please don't be offended."

Chisongzi heard the words and said: "Master Ye is too annoying, thank you for your kindness."

While speaking, he turned to a page casually, saw the clear handwriting on it, and immediately after that, a powerful sword intent rushed towards his face.

That kind of invincible determination penetrates the mind, even with his innate Dzogchen realm, he can't help being slightly surprised.

Closing the pages of the book, he looked at the former and said, "Thank you, Your Excellency's gift is not light."

The words written by the other party contained a very profound sword intent. If one could comprehend it, it would be very beneficial even for innate masters.

"Senior Chisong, as long as you don't dislike him."

Ye Chen said modestly.

Chi Songzi raised his hand and said, "Please sit down."

"Thank you."

Ye Chen replied, and then sat aside.

As soon as he took his seat, another person came here.

A young man in Confucian uniform cupped his hands and said, "Confucian Yan Lu, I have met Senior Chisong, and you all!"

As he spoke, he bowed to everyone on both sides.

When he saw Ye Chen, his expression couldn't help changing, and he said, "Junior brother is here too!"

Ye Chen cupped his hands slightly: "Brother."

Yan Lu smiled and said, "If I had known you were here, I wouldn't have rushed here in such a hurry."

Hearing this, Ye Chen looked a little embarrassed, coughed lightly and said, "Well, I'm here on behalf of Hidden Sword Villa this time..."

Hearing this, Yan Lu was slightly surprised, and then realized: "Oh, that's right, that's pretty good too."

After replying, he also knew that the words were a bit awkward, so he quickly changed the subject, looked at Chisongzi and chatted a few words, and let go of the gift he had prepared.

In terms of etiquette, Confucianism has always been able to find no faults.

After saying a few words, he was seated quickly.

Seeing that everyone has arrived, Chi Songzi said: "Thank you for coming from afar. I am very grateful to you. Please forgive me if there is any lack of hospitality."

"Sect Leader Chisong is too polite!"

Everyone said with a smile.

After the opening remarks, Chi Songzi raised his hand and said, "This is the new closed disciple of Master Beiming. His dao name is Xiaomeng, and he is very talented."

Hearing this, Xiaomeng stood up and bowed slightly to the crowd, "Xiaomeng Tianzong, I have met you all."

When he turned his head to look at Ye Chen, he blinked playfully.

Ye Chen nodded slightly and smiled back.

Hearing Chisongzi's introduction, everyone's eyes also focused on Xiaomeng. They had also heard about Beimingzi's apprenticeship, but they didn't expect it to be such a little girl.

But when he felt the dao rhyme on his body, he suddenly felt in his heart.

After introducing herself, Xiaomeng sat back in her seat, and she was here today just to get acquainted with various schools of thought, so there is no need to say too much.

After chatting for a while, they began to talk about business.

Chi Song looked to the side, and said, "The covenant between heaven and man will be held at the Guanmiao Terrace of Mount Taiyi tomorrow, what do fellow Taoists think?"

Xiaoyaozi nodded: "Just do what Brother Chisong wants."

Seeing that he had no objection, Chi Songzi turned his head and said: "Well, tomorrow I will be waiting for you at the Guanmiao Terrace."

"We will definitely be there!"

Everyone clapped their hands and responded.

Taoism has always been the deepest and most low-key sect among the hundreds of schools of thought, and it is difficult to understand its specific strength on weekdays.

And in the covenant between heaven and man every five years, the suzerains of the two sects will come down to compete in person. This is also the best opportunity to check their level, and everyone will naturally not miss it.

Chisongzi caressed his beard gently, then poured himself a cup of tea, and said, "There is nothing to entertain in the mountains and fields. I just invite you to have a few cups of tea."

While talking, he picked up the cup on the table and offered tea.

"Sect Leader Chisong is too polite!"

Seeing this, the people present also poured themselves a cup of tea and paid back.

But when the tea entered the mouth, everyone's eyes flickered involuntarily...
