Chapter 84 Polygonum flowers bloom at the mountain gate
The five prefectures of Yi County are Songzhou Prefecture and Dangguo Prefecture in the north, and a slightly upward arc from west to northeast in the south, namely Yiyang and Langling. , Huozhou three prefectures.
Among the five prefectures, Dangguo Prefecture and Songzhou Prefecture are mainly flat areas with large populations. The combined population of the two prefectures is greater than the combined population of Yiyang, Langling and Huozhou Prefectures.
Langling is located in the southeastern corner and is also the smallest prefecture. There are only four counties and a population of less than one million. The prefecture is in Langcheng.
In addition to Kailangcheng, there are also three counties: Changling, Luoshan and Yanjiao.
Langcheng and Changling are slightly to the north, while Luoshan and Yanjiao are the border areas of Zhao. Among them, Yanjiao goes deep between Wuyue in the east and Nanchu in the south.
The mountain gate of Chonghua Sect is located in Panshan Mountain, Langshan Mountain between Langcheng and Changling.
The distance between Langshan Mountain and Panshan Mountain is about fifty miles. The two mountains are facing each other, but in fact, the two mountains are not high. This area can be regarded as the remaining veins of the eastern foothills of Yushan Mountain.
Less than five miles from entering Langshan Mountain is Yingke Village.
This is a courtyard settlement, consisting of about four or five courtyards. Before you get closer, you can feel the gathering of spiritual energy and the dense bamboos.
"Youhuangli?" Chen Huaisheng saw this courtyard from a distance and asked in surprise: "Brother Cai, the name of the Yingke Village is quite elegant."
"Haha, this It is almost a bamboo forest. There are more than ten kinds of bamboos, stretching for more than ten miles. The Huangxi River runs through it. It is the root of our mountain gate. It is full of aura..."
Cai Zhengyang's face Also a little more proud.
“When you come here in the summer, you will feel the refreshing smell. There are dozens of small courtyards and huts in the bamboo forest all over the mountains and plains. They are all brothers and uncles in the sect. He lived in a separate place, and came back every summer to live and practice..."
Hearing Cai Zhengyang's introduction, Chen Huaisheng couldn't help but yearn for it.
It seems that although the Chonghua Sect is not well-known outside, it is the real overlord in the territory of Langling Mansion. Dozens of miles of bamboo groves are reserved exclusively for the sect for the disciples to practice.
"I'm afraid not just anyone can build a small house in a bamboo forest, right?" Chen Huaisheng asked with a smile.
"Of course." Cai Jinyang said sternly: "Either you are promoted to Foundation Establishment, or you are recognized by the Deacon Council, or you get the consent of three elders above Foundation Establishment..."
Cai Jinyang He looked at Chen Huaisheng and said word by word: "Junior brother, outside our Chonghua sect works together and is powerful enough to defeat gold, but once we return to the sect, the Eight Immortals will cross the sea and show their magical powers, whether they are mules or horses. If you want to be taken out for a walk, if you want to gain support from the sect, you have to show your abilities worthy of being valued by the sect..."
Feeling the seriousness of Cai Jinyang's tone, Chen Huai Shengye nodded solemnly: "Thank you, senior brother, for reminding me. I understand."
"You don't understand enough! Master Wu is optimistic about you, but it's only Master Wu. I estimate that at your age, most of the deacons and elders in the sect will not think highly of you. Maybe after you reach the first level of Qi Refining, or even the second level of Qi Refining Before rebirth, you have to face all kinds of cold looks or even rejection. You must be mentally prepared. You will compete with your work outside the door, and practice your practice inside the door. You are very sophisticated and thoughtful in doing things, but in practice, you have to overwhelm your peers in order to win respect. and recognition, otherwise it will be difficult for you to gain a foothold in the door."
The hidden meaning in Cai Jinyang's words, Chen Huaisheng immediately understood that the Chonghua Sect is also a member of Jianghu, so naturally there will be the same worldly feelings and grudges. Love and hatred.
He nodded heavily but said no more. Cai Jinyang knew that Chen Huaisheng probably understood the meaning of his words, and he felt relieved.
When registering at Yingke Village, Chen Huaisheng was also carefully observing the internal structure of Zhonghua Pai.
Cai Jinyang is also introducing to Chen Huaisheng that this place is under the management of Zhike Academy. There are actually three Taoist masters at the fifth and fourth levels of Qi refining and seven or eight Taoist masters at the second and third levels of Qi refining in charge of this area.
Except for this place, there is also a guest house in Panshan to the east, with the same layout as here.
These guest-welcoming Taoist masters have one thing in common, that is, they are relatively old, and they are all in their seventies, eighties, or even eighties or nineties.
Although they all appear to be in their forties or fifties, they seem to be in their prime, and their movements are not weak, but Chen Huaisheng can feel the old age in these people.
This is almost the same arrangement of the sects.
Those monks who are not at a low level, but are no longer old, whose spiritual roots have been solidified, whose understanding has been almost worn away, and who have little room for advancement, or who have lost the courage and confidence to make breakthroughs, will generally be arranged Come to these places.
When you are free, you can often go out and enjoy life in the world. One of the Taoists with a reputation as Hong Zhong and a rosy face was very familiar with Cai Jinyang, and he quickly completed the registration.
However, Chen Huaisheng could also see from the eyes of these people that they were surprised and puzzled that an older disciple like him entered the school at an untimely time.
Chen Huaisheng even heard them mention Wu Tianen's name, which probably meant Wu Tianen's connections or misunderstandings.
“Don’t mind, these people are already marginalized in our sect, don’t care, you need to prove it to your peers and those who can determine your future resources.”

When the two started heading into the mountains again, Cai Jinyang said calmly.
From the beginning of Yingke Village, Chen Huaisheng could feel that the spiritual energy in the mountains suddenly became abundant.
A series of magic circles, traps, and police posts appeared around them either openly or covertly.
Most of the police posts are laid out with some small formations or designs, or with spirit birds, spirit beasts or even spirit insects.
Used comprehensively, it is both stealthy and reliable, and it is not easily destroyed and killed by incoming enemies.
From this point, Chen Huaisheng can see that the Chonghua Sect does have some background, which is completely different from the Xuanhuo Sect that he first joined.
The mountain is winding, and a gurgling stream flows along the mountain. The ground is covered with green on both sides, the bamboo forest stretches, and the paths wind.
The new bamboo is shaking green.
The winding path leads to a deep and graceful path.
Seeing that Chen Huaisheng was fascinated, Cai Jinyang felt a little proud: "Do you think the scenery is extraordinary?"
Chen Huaisheng nodded sincerely, "The mountain gate is indeed extraordinary. It makes people feel relaxed and happy, and they look at it with admiration."
"Haha, what is this? I have just started. From Langshan to Panshan, there are hundreds of miles around. This is the territory of our Chonghua sect, and there are many wonderful places. You will slowly know it after entering the mountain. When you have seen enough, Cai Jinyang said with pride on his face. Well, it’s still far inside. ”
The mountain path is not wide, but it is clean and tidy, paved with stone slabs, and lined with madder and fragrant flowers.
When the bamboo forest became thinner and the thick wood became heavier, Chen Huaisheng estimated that this was when he really entered the mountain.
After walking twenty or thirty miles, we encountered a mountain peak that looked like a jade screen with waves of pines and waves.
“This is Cuiping Peak, and it is also the first pass of our mountain gate.” Cai Jinyang said carefully: “Only after passing here can we truly enter the mountain. If outsiders enter here without notification, it is considered an intrusion. I can kill him without mercy."
A lyra bird with a green feather crest flew out of the forest. Cai Jinyang smiled and took out a piece of stone honey from his sleeve and threw it to the opponent. The opponent let out a high-pitched cry, Appeared very happy.
Chen Huaisheng estimated that this is a mountain-protecting spiritual bird, and it should be raised in the family. However, the Lyra bird is not very high among spiritual birds. However, this kind of spiritual bird is known as the wind-eared bird. It should be to take advantage of his hearing.
There was a small pavilion at the foot of the mountain. There was a courtyard not far from the pavilion, and several disciples wearing two-color heavy clothes came to greet them.
Cai Jinyang greeted several people familiarly. One of them seemed to be very familiar with Cai Jinyang and asked why Cai Jinyang came back. Cai Jinyang explained, which attracted the attention of several people.
Obviously Chen Huaisheng's current situation is difficult to attract their attention. He has not yet succeeded in refining his Qi, and he is not young at all. He does not look like an important person in any way. If Cai Jinyang is brought back to start, it will undoubtedly make him They were a little puzzled.
Cai Jinyang didn’t explain much, he just said that this was Master Wu’s order.
After a while of greetings and greetings, Cai Jinyang took Chen Huaisheng on the road again.
List it, collect it, and read it!
