Ever since Chu Tianwen left from Changsheng Mountain, Zhang Qingyuan felt a little uneasy. He looked up to the sky, and saw a faint colorful auspicious cloud drifting towards this direction from the southeast. It was because the person I met in the Eight Immortals' Residence in Lingxi Town was about to come, and it was the same when Chu Tianwen came before, and I could faintly see a purple air on the ground moving towards this side.
However, there was a faint blackness on Chu Tianwen's head, probably a catastrophe was imminent, there was a stream of steam on the Changsheng Mountain, and he himself might be in constant trouble, and even more unlucky things might happen when two unlucky people get together , therefore did not meet him.
After a sleepless night, Zhang Qingyuan sat in front of the patriarch's tablet to meditate and meditate. The night was quiet, and the joy of chirping insects was supposed to be an excellent time to practice purely. However, Zhang Qingyuan couldn't calm down. A cricket jumped on the face of the meditation mantra handed down by the patriarch. Zhang Qingyuan, who was already in a bad mood, suddenly became angry in his heart. Go, then got up and left the Patriarch Hall.
Since the junior sister came back from the outside, the concept of longevity has not been peaceful. First, she had a big quarrel with a few senior brothers, which caused the senior brothers to go down the mountain and retreat, and then went to the Dongxuan Peak that she had sealed with her own hands. There are too many stories about them on Dongxuan Peak, in order to avoid getting emotional, I have not set foot there for ten years.
Isn't it because the master's whereabouts were found by the junior sister? Besides, the master hasn't come back yet, so why did the brothers get upset because of this? After decades of cultivating Taoism in vain, since the master left, no one can control them anymore. Although I am the head teacher of Changsheng Mountain in name, in fact, except for those junior disciples and grandchildren in the temple who respect me, no one can control them anymore. No one puts himself in the eye anymore. The master has a keen eye, knows his heart and patience, and easily ignores those indifferent gains and losses. If the position of head teacher is given to those senior brothers who are obsessed with fighting for fame and fortune, I am afraid that the concept of longevity has long existed in name only.
The younger junior sister is undoubtedly on my side when she comes back, which also breaks the original balance and tacit understanding. The senior brothers who are fighting on their own and myself, the head teacher, have formed different camps. The appearance of the younger junior sister made them feel unbalanced , So I got angry and retreated or went down the mountain.
Forget it, as long as the concept of longevity that the master passed on to me is not destroyed in my own hands, it is enough to be called the blessing of the patriarch. I have also asked the younger sister where the master is now, but the younger sister hesitated. She didn't say why for a long time, probably she didn't find the trace of Master either, after years of hard searching, the original fearless ambition has been worn to the brink of death, and she just wanted to go back to the mountain under this pretense.
Zhang Qingyuan strolled around, and came to Sanqing Hall unknowingly. The lights in Sanqing Hall were always on, and the Taoist disciple on duty at night had already fallen asleep leaning on the leg of the table in front of Sanqing. The sky will light up, and it will not be long It was time for his little disciple Xuan Qing to get up and open the mountain gate. Zhang Qingyuan looked up at the sky, and the multicolored auspicious cloud was already very close to him. At the turn of the sun and the moon, Zhang Qingyuan chanted a spell and closed his eyes to rest his mind.
Not long after, the bell-strike Taoist in the temple walked quickly in front of Zhang Qingyuan, "Boom, boom, boom" After several long bells rang, other Taoists in the temple got up to clean up one after another, and Xuan Qing also He ran out of his meditation room, walked up to Zhang Qingyuan and looked at him curiously.
"Master, why did you get up so early today? You are still practicing in front of the Patriarch Sanqing. Will this practice be faster?" Xuan Qing wondered. It seemed that standing at the entrance of the Sanqing Hall to practice early in the morning, even Taoist Jiayou who was awakened from his sleep by the sound of the bell suddenly ran away with Zhang Qingyuan on his back as if he had lost his soul.
"Xuan Qing, you are awake, let's go, let's open the mountain gate, the pilgrims outside are coming."
"But Master, we haven't had breakfast yet."
"Today is special, we will have breakfast later, let's bring in the distinguished guests in front of us first."
As he spoke, Zhang Qingyuan led Xuan Qing towards the gate of Changsheng Temple. The gate opened, and there were already three people standing in front of the gate. A young man was supporting an old man, followed by a young woman holding a long whip, with a faint expression on her face. There are traces of mottled moss, I don't know how long I have been waiting in front of the door.
"Haha, you are finally here."
Those three people were Li Tang, Xie Wenyu and the old man who climbed up from the bottom of the mountain last night. The other two were not shocked by Zhang Qingyuan's greeting, but Li Tang recognized it. Zhang Qingyuan, the Master of Longevity Concept of Roasted Suckling Pig with Chopsticks.
However, this also made Li Tang feel puzzled. He stepped forward and asked, "The priest knows I'm coming, or did he get some news?"
"I had nothing to do last night.??, I looked up and saw colorful auspicious clouds approaching my mountain from the southeast. That day in Baxianju, I once said that you have colorful clouds on your head. I guess you must have come up the mountain, so I am waiting here. "
It was nothing to say, but the old man on the side heard him, and he put down his crutches and bowed his head to Li Tang with a look of sincerity and fear, "The little old man didn't know it was the fairy who came, and let the fairy wrong him to help the little old man." Let¡¯s go up the mountain, and please ask Master Xianchang to have a lot, so don¡¯t worry about it with the little old man.¡±
Li Tang helped the old man up, "Where did the fairy head come from? Didn't I say that I live in the Chu family? If you want to talk about the fairy head, Zhang Zhenzhen in front of you is the real fairy head. He can pinch and count. Know in advance." I want to go up the mountain, please get up quickly."
Xie Wenyu on the side curled her lips, wondering where the fairy came from, but he was just a "prostitute" who peeked at her bathing.
Zhang Qingyuan inquired about the origins of the other two, and asked Xuan Qing to arrange for the old man to go to the Taoist Taoist in the monastery to release the lottery, and arrange a place for Xie Wenyu to stay in the monastery for a few days, and then dragged Li Tang Chao to the monastery.
"Little friend Li Tang must have something to do here, right?"
"To tell the truth, Master Zhang, I heard that a woman in white clothes came to the temple a few days ago. I want to see her."
"This" Zhang Qingyuan was at a loss for words for a moment. It wasn't that he didn't know the whereabouts of Han Sheng'er, but that Han Sheng'er had been taken to Dongxuan Peak by his junior junior sister. He didn't really want to go, so he didn't know what to say for a while. .
"What's the problem with Master Zhang?"
"Hehe, there is no difficulty, but I'm afraid I won't be able to see her today. She was taken to another place by my junior sister. She is not in the temple now. I have a place I want to take my little friend to see."
"If so, I have no choice but to obey."
Li Tang felt lost in his heart. His purpose of going up the mountain all night was to see his sister Sheng'er as soon as possible, but he was told that he would not see her today. An invisible sense of fatigue came from the bottom of his heart. He had no sleep all night and had to leave The overnight mountain road relied on that spirit, but at this time, that spirit had dissipated.
With a thought in Zhang Qingyuan's mind, a sword pierced through the air. After a closer look, it was the sword stuck behind his back when he went to the Eight Immortals' Residence that day. Zhang Qingyuan threw it into the air, and the sword was instantly magnified several times. Zhang Qingyuan Pulling Li Tang up onto the sword, he flew away in the air, and stopped beside a big river with a tributary.
"Master Zhang is good at cultivation. I have long heard that people with advanced cultivation can fly objects. I didn't realize that Master Zhang is just such a person. I admire and admire him."
"It's just heresy. When you have enough cultivation, you will naturally be able to fly in the air. Come and see."
Zhang Qingyuan pointed to the big river. It was already the flood season. The twenty-foot-wide river was fast-flowing. The feeling is swept away.
"Changsheng Mountain is really a good place. The water flows continuously and the mountains and rivers are harmonious. It is simply a beautiful scenery that is rare in the world." Li Tang expressed his opinion, but Zhang Qingyuan on the side looked anxious, apparently unable to do so. Feel the beauty of this picture scroll with Li Tang.
"Although that's the case, if you look carefully, the river has faintly overflowed the embankment. This is what I told you before that there may be a catastrophe in Changsheng Mountain."
"Eternal Life Mountain is so high, no matter how urgent the river is, it is impossible to rush into the Temple of Longevity, right? The Temple of Longevity is worry-free, so why worry about it?"
"Look at that tributary. You must have seen that waterfall when you went up the mountain. This tributary leads to that waterfall. The young master of the Chu family who was with you in the Eight Immortals House before, that's right. This tributary also leads to his family's sink."
Hearing what Zhang Qingyuan said, Li Tang couldn't help but feel a shudder in his heart. If this big river really flooded as Zhang Qingyuan said, then the Chu family at the foot of the mountain must bear the brunt of it, and it is even more likely that the water will flood Lingxi Town. However, he has been wondering in his heart, Xibingchi seems to be a pool of stagnant water, and there is no water flowing out. In such a turbulent current, the water level can be kept from overflowing. Could there be some undercurrent under the water?
This Li Tang didn't know. Although he had been to Xibingchi many times, he had never entered the water to see it. He wondered when he must go into the water to see if there was really danger in it.
Li Tang was hesitating, and inadvertently turned his back and wandered a few steps, but was pulled back by Zhang Qingyuan. Li Tang subconsciously looked back, but found that Zhang Qingyuan's eyes were wide open, and his pupils shrank sharply. Li Tang hurriedly asked what was going on. Unexpectedly, Zhang Qingyuan turned to face the big river.
Wu Zi said: "Master, Master, my junior sister has been looking for you for many years and has not been found. So you have always been there."
"Master Zhang, what's the matter?" Li Tang looked puzzled, but Zhang Qingyuan's face was stern, and he grabbed Li Tang's shoulders with both hands, and asked loudly, "Where did the Chixiao sword behind you come from?"
Li Tang, who was in pain, broke free quickly, smiled and said: "What am I supposed to be, this sword was given to me by my master, and he also taught me a set of sword manuals."
"Who is your master!"
"I don't know what his name is. I only know that people call him the Immortal."
"Henry Zhang!"Unexpectedly, Zhang Qingyuan's face was stern, and he grabbed Li Tang's shoulders with both hands, and asked loudly, "Where did the Chixiao sword behind you come from?"
Li Tang, who was in pain, broke free quickly, smiled and said: "What am I supposed to be, this sword was given to me by my master, and he also taught me a set of sword manuals."
"Who is your master!"
"I don't know what his name is. I only know that people call him the Immortal."
