Chapter 7 Entering the mountain to take advantage of the situation (two in one)
The white clouds are long and the sky and the earth are vast.
The clear lake covers an area of thousands of miles, like a vast ocean, with rolling waves and filled with water vapor, connecting the sky and the earth.
This is an unimaginably huge lake. If one stands on the lake, all he can see is the endless water.
In the center of the boundless lake is a huge mountain rising from the ground.
This mountain peak has a strange shape, like a scabbard, reaching straight into the sky. The vegetation on the mountain is lush and green, and the aura is like smoke. The water vapor in the sky sweeps up at the foot of the mountain like clouds and mist, reflecting the mountain like a fairyland.
This mountain is tall and can be clearly seen above the lake. On the left and right of this mountain, there are countless scattered islands, scattered and dense, like stars over the moon, guarding this mountain.
“Is this Qingfeng Mountain?”
Looking at the shocking sight in front of him, Gu Yuan couldn’t help but sigh.
Although there were countless beautiful scenery and great rivers and mountains in the previous life, compared with the scenery in this cultivation world, it was still far inferior.
The big lake stretches to the sky, the mountain peaks reach into the clouds, the spiritual energy rolls endlessly like fog, the sky and the earth are clear and bright, and it is a beautiful scenery.
The most important thing is that there are steep cliffs, places where human power seems to be beyond the reach, beautiful buildings and jade buildings, green palaces and green tiles, carved railings and jade, buildings with high eaves and teeth, large areas of buildings, bells and whistles. The sound was soft, spiritual birds were everywhere, and a sense of popularity arose among the layers of clouds and mist.
When people and mountains become one, they become immortals!
This place is really a bit fairy-like!
Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment, dizzy and sighing repeatedly.
But after a long time, he finally came to his senses and urged the jade dragon under him to fly towards the tall Qingfeng Mountain.
This is already the third day.
In the past three days, he had almost never stopped, flying straight along the map and crossing countless mountains and rivers before finally arriving here.
On the way, he encountered almost no risks.
Although there is a map in this, the most important thing is the token.
Although all the power belonging to the golden elixir in the token was removed, the aura of the golden elixir was still there. Gu Yuan held the token, just like the golden elixir passing through the border, and passed through this vast distance unharmed.
"The power of the golden elixir is so terrifying. No wonder he made me worship the mountain with just a token without saying a word!"
Gu Yuan rubbed the token in his hand, Looking at Qingfeng Mountain getting closer and closer, I couldn't help but sigh again.
......
"Grandpa, look, there is a dragon flying above!"
When Gu Yuan approached Qingfeng Mountain, he discovered that among the islands scattered around, there were boats of different sizes, sailing along the current towards Qingfeng Mountain.
On the boat, except for a few old men, most of them were children with tangled hair on their heads. They all stared at Qingfeng Mountain in the distance and Gu Yuan in the sky with their eyes wide open. .
“Look, look, there are people in the clouds over there!”
A child stretched out his hand and pointed at the sky.
On the sky in the distance, there are white clouds, carrying several young people wearing Taoist robes, leisurely returning.
"Boo!"
There seemed to be nothing around Qingfeng Mountain, but when the white clouds approached, a ripple appeared, like water, the air swayed slightly, and then several people seemed to pass through Passed through a thin film, entered Qingfeng Mountain, and disappeared into the mountain.
"Hurry up and put your hands down. That is the immortal master of Qingfeng Mountain. If we collide, be careful that you will never be able to worship at the mountain gate!"
On the boat, an old man quickly put the child down. I clapped it with my hand so as not to offend the immortal master.
“Ah, is that the Immortal Master?”
"But why do I feel that I am not as handsome as the one who rides the dragon? Grandpa, I also want to ride the dragon! Is the one who rides the dragon an immortal master?"
"Shut up! Shut up! If you talk again, I will throw you into the trap. In the lake!"
The old man on the boat quickly covered the child's mouth and yelled loudly.
In this world, dragons are taboo and must not be mentioned lightly. If they are sensed, they will be struck down by thunder!
The person who came on the dragon must be a practitioner, but there is a high probability that he is not an immortal master from Qingfeng Mountain. Otherwise, the mountain-protecting formation would have automatically opened and led him into the formation.
But if it weren't for the Immortal Master of Qingfeng Mountain, the casual cultivator who came here at this time would probably have to pay homage to the mountain gate.
As for the rules of Qingfeng Taoist Temple, if casual cultivators want to worship at the gate, they must go through the assessment like a child.
But often the success rate of casual cultivators in worshiping at the mountain gate is not as good as that of a boatload of children. Most of the casual cultivators leave dejectedly.
But at this time, the child actually asked the other party if he was the "immortal master of Qingfeng Taoist Academy". Isn't this an obvious attempt to embarrass the other party?
It's just like at a public examination interview site, pointing and asking others if they have preparations.
It's okay if you pass the exam, but if you fail, it won't be embarrassing.
"Shut up! From now on, no one is allowed to speak, otherwise no one will be allowed to eat candy in the future!"
The old man scolded these children quickly, fearing that these children would say arrogant words again.
Facing the threat of the sugar man, these children were full of questions, but after swallowing, they finally held back.
……
At this time, Gu Yuan, who was in the sky, also noticed something unusual.
Qingfeng Mountain seems to be very close, but the closer it gets, the more distant it becomes, as if it can never be reached.
That tall and majestic mountain peak does not seem to be in this world.
The token in his arms seems to have no effect.
“Haha, Taoist friends also come to worship and join the Taoist temple?”
Just when Gu Yuan was confused, laughter suddenly sounded in his ears.
He turned around and saw a young man in white clothes riding a blue crane, coming leisurely and standing side by side with him.
Behind the young man who came riding a crane, there were dozens of Qi-refining monks with different costumes and various magical weapons on their feet.
"Fellow Taoist are also here to pay homage?"
Gu Yuan nodded first and then asked.
"Yes, all the fellow Taoists behind me have come to pay homage to the temple. Qingfeng Taoist Temple is an illustrious sect spread from the Heavenly Palace. Everyone aspires to it. If you can join it, you will not only have a smooth career, but at least you will have no worries in this life and can be stable. Practice!”
The young man is still young, but there is already a hint of vicissitudes in his words.
Rogue cultivators are people with no backing, no resources, and no inheritance. Their lives are miserable!
Just like Gu Yuan in his previous life, a man with no house, no car, and no good job, he was under great pressure.
Every day is precarious.
"If it was fine before, something big will happen soon, and the world will soon be unstable. If there is no sect, I'm afraid..."
The young man pointed to the sky, as if he knew what he was doing.
Gu Yuan was puzzled, but he couldn't show it at this time. He could only nod and pretend to agree.
In fact, he has many questions in his mind, such as "Heavenly Palace", "Dragon" and "Taoist Academy". These seem to be common sense in the practice world, but the Qingmu Sect where his predecessor was located does not seem to have taught this kind of knowledge, causing him to Doubts abounded in my heart.
“I don’t know, friend, are you following the path of weapon refining, the path of alchemy, or are you following the legacy of your predecessors?”
After some pleasantries, the boy in white rolled his eyes and asked tentatively.
Although Qingfeng Taoist Temple recruits some casual practitioners every year, there are quotas.
Either you have a unique talent, you are good at practicing various arts, or you have the legacy of your predecessors, otherwise you will hardly be included in the door.
The number of places is limited and the competition is naturally fierce.
So the boy in white was eager to ask for information about Gu Yuan and learn more about this competitor.
When Gu Yuan heard this, he could only shake his head helplessly: "I am not one of the three Taoists."
"Did my fellow Taoist have treasures or star spirits to offer?"
The young man was slightly startled, looking extremely Shocked, he asked again.
“No!”
Gu Yuan shook his head again.
"Brother Bai Dao, can't you see how this guy was flying on a dragon just now? He doesn't even know the mountain protection formation of Qingfeng Taoist Temple. It's obviously his first time to worship the mountain. He probably heard it from somewhere. The news came by accident, why are you talking to him?”
The boy in white wanted to ask something else, but behind him, a gorgeous female cultivator smiled disdainfully. . "That's right, no matter what he does, Daoist Brother Bai is only twenty years old and has already mastered the refining of middle-grade magic weapons. With this talent, he can definitely pass the assessment and be admitted to the Taoist Academy!"
“Alas, I am afraid that I will become a foil when I am waiting for this trip!”
“Brother Bai, after entering the Taoist Academy, don’t forget us. We will see each other more often in the future and exchange experiences on refining weapons. ! ”
Behind the female cultivator, several Qi-training cultivators also looked over, with a hint of compliment in their tone.
Hearing this, a trace of complacency flashed in the eyes of the young man in white, but he suppressed it.
"Haha, you guys are ridiculous. How difficult the Qingfeng Taoist Academy exam is. I don't dare to say that I will pass it, but I just try my best!"
He cupped his hands and bowed them towards everyone. He cupped his hands with a humble tone, and then turned his head to look at Gu Yuan, with a hint of superiority in his eyes:
"This is your first time to come to the temple, fellow Taoist? It's normal to be ignorant. Don't panic, as long as you are here Just wait here. A deacon from the Personnel Hall will come out to pick you up later. At that time, just follow the steps for the assessment. The assessment is divided into three steps and sixteen methods. You must pass sixteen levels in one go to be successfully admitted. The first one is among them. The key is naturally a key to life experience, investigation..."
The boy in white became more and more enthusiastic, shaking his head and introducing.
The sense of superiority in him became more and more intense.
But at this moment, ripples suddenly swayed in the air, and then a middle-aged monk wearing a black robe with nine thin cyan lines on the cuffs, which looked like a pattern of emerald green branches, stepped on a silver boat and flew Shoot out.
“The deacon from the Personnel Hall has come out!”
“Why is it so early this year? Logically speaking, it should be half an hour away?”
Among the casual cultivators, the sound of discussion suddenly came.
The boy in white also stopped the introduction, because he discovered that the deacon actually cut into the crowd and came towards him.
The eyes of all the casual cultivators also followed.
He was surprised and happy. Although he knew it was impossible, he was still excited. He cleared his throat and prepared to salute.
"Xiabai..."
But at this moment, the deacon spoke first: "Are you the person recommended by Elder Fox to enter the mountain? Do you have a token?"
Elder Fox?
Token?
The boy in white was slightly startled.
But there was already a voice in my ear that answered: "Here is the token, please take a look at it, senior."
The young man in white turned his head and saw Gu Yuan taking out a bronze medal engraved with green vines and handing it to the deacon.
The deacon did not dare to neglect, took it with both hands, took a careful look, then put it in his arms, and looked at Gu Yuan gently:
"Since it is recommended by Elder Jindan, just follow me. Go into the mountains!”
Recommended by Elder Jin Dan?
All the casual cultivators widened their eyes, as if doubting their ears again.
Especially the boy in white looked at Gu Yuan in disbelief.
Gu Yuan glanced at the young man in white, and there seemed to be a smile in his eyes. He bowed respectfully to the deacon and asked, "Disciple heard that there are three steps and sixteen steps required to enter the mountain, don't you know?"
< br>The deacon waved his hand and said directly: "That is an assessment for casual cultivators. You are introduced to the mountain gate by Master Jindan. There is no need for an assessment. Just follow me into the personnel hall, enter the roster, and kneel down to worship the ancestor!"
After saying that, he stretched out his hand to call, and Gu Yuan followed him into the silver boat. Then the two of them turned into a stream of light and headed towards Qingfeng Mountain.
Only a group of casual cultivators were left, looking at each other.
The young man in white turned red, ashamed and angry.
His mother is actually a related household!
Gan!
No wonder there is such a majestic magic weapon!
Recalling his performance like an actor just now, the young man in white wished he could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
At the same time, there was a feeling of fear in his heart, worrying about whether he might offend Gu Yuan.
But recalling Gu Yuan's last deliberately teasing question, I suddenly felt relieved.
“If you can make this person look holy in front of them and make them smile, this matter should be considered to be over.”
“Alas, ten years of refining qi is not as good as a token...”< br>
Thinking about it, he felt helpless again.
......
......
Gu Yuan teased her intentionally, but it was just to relax the tense emotions he had been feeling for many days, and he didn't take it to heart.
At this moment, he was following the deacon, watching everything in front of him intently.
Only when you truly enter Qingfeng Mountain can you appreciate the majesty of this mountain.
People are like ants among them. Huge peaks reach straight into the sky. In the mountains, you can't even see the end of the top of the mountain.
As far as the eye can see, there are attics everywhere, auras like smoke, cranes flying together, and a magnificent waterfall falling from the top of the mountain, splashing a huge rainbow that seems to never dissipate, just like a dream.
“This Qingfeng Mountain was moved from the Central Earth Divine Realm by the founder of our academy with great magic power. It has been almost ten thousand years since then.”
Although the deacon has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, Because of the golden elixir, he was very gentle to Gu Yuan, pointed at the green mountains in front of him, and introduced with a smile.
"The Human Affairs Hall, the Gong Chuan Hall, the Formation Hall... all of the palaces in the Taoist Academy are all located in this mountain."
"Behind this mountain, there are seven peaks and thirty-six islands, which are the practice places of Seven Meridians disciples and Jindan elders."
"After you worship at the mountain gate, you will also be assigned to One of the peaks or an island has its own cave for practice. "
"By the way, did Elder Hu say that he would accept you as a disciple, or arrange for an elder to accept you as a disciple? ?”
After the brief introduction, the deacon suddenly changed the topic and asked Gu Yuan.
“What the Master said is opportunity.”
Gu Yuan pondered slightly, but still spoke truthfully.
"That's right..."
The deacon nodded slightly, but the enthusiasm in his tone suddenly dropped a bit.
Opportunity, that means relying on yourself, I don’t care.
But after all, it was Jin Dan who introduced him. His attitude was not cold, but he was a little more unfamiliar than before. He introduced the surrounding scenery again, and then asked casually:
"Junior brother, you have such a good opportunity, how do you get into the Master's eyes? Elder Fox has always been very discerning!"
When Gu Yuan heard this, he already understood.
Master Jindan has a very high status. With a command, the subordinates must follow the order. However, the master cannot explain why this order comes from.
At the very least, this deacon doesn’t know.
As for the people below, if they want to do things beautifully, they have to grasp the scale.
The deacon was making insinuations just to find out the true relationship between him and the Master, so that he could decide his attitude toward himself.
This attitude is related to your own interests.
Gu Yuan didn't know how many steps there were in the process of worshiping at the mountain gate, but judging from the appearance of the casual cultivator before, it was obviously a bit circuitous.
In this case, it is naturally impossible for him to tell the truth.
If he said it, others would immediately know that he and the Master had ended their relationship. The two met by chance and it was almost impossible to establish a relationship.
But he must not lie, otherwise he would be disrespectful to the Master.
In this case, fortunately I won’t say anything.
If you don’t tell me, there will be no answer. There is no answer. In order not to offend the Master, you must come up with a solid plan.
"Senior Brother, please be aware! This matter is related to personal affairs. Without the Master's instructions, Junior Brother dare not speak nonsense. If Senior Brother wants to know, you can ask the Master!"
Gu Yuan borrowed the opportunity to borrow the money from the slope. Donkey, who called him senior brother, was respectful, but he never told the truth.
And his reasons are extremely reasonable.
This matter is indeed related to the personal relationship of the Master's disciples. The Master did not let me publicize it. I did not say it out of respect for the Master.
"Haha, since it's a personal relationship with the Master, then that's it. Come on, come on, ahead is the Personnel Hall, junior brother, come with me!"
Seeing that he didn't get the answer, the deacon didn't either. I pressed him again, but I had already decided in my heart to leave Gu Yuan alone until everything became clear.
Anyway, all the resources spent are from the hospital, and they are given to everyone the same.
An 18-year-old new author, please read it. It’s very important to follow the new book issue now. I think it’s pretty good. You can take a look at it a few times every day
