The boundary between mountains and seas, the cold abyss of the northern sky, and the Zhaoyou Tianchi.
Two young monks came out of the cave. One of them was named Duan Shizai and the other was named Duan Yude. They were brothers and both were disciples of Yuan Jingqing.
Although the two people look very similar, they are completely different in appearance and temperament. Even if they stand next to each other, anyone who is slightly familiar with them will not be able to distinguish them wrongly.
There was a hint of excitement in the expressions of the two of them at this moment. For some reason today, they had to follow their teacher to Xuan Yuan Tian to pay homage to their ancestor.
You must know that the ancestors of the Zhaoyou lineage are the masters of the Tao. All principles in the world and all the rules of the universe are controlled by them. They are also Taoists. After knowing this, it is difficult to control their emotions.
Dan Shizai was a lazy man and stood crookedly. He looked at the sun and said, "Second brother, when do you want to wait?"
Duan Yude solemnly said: "Brother, I can't decide when to enter the Xuan River. Since our teacher told us to wait here, it makes sense."
??Duan Shizai said: "I won't delay other things by waiting. I got some good tea yesterday. Why don't I ask someone to brew it, and you and I will taste it slowly"
Duan Yude frowned and said, "Brother, don't say such a joke at this time."
Seeing that he didn't want to, Duan Shizai laughed and said, "Since the second brother doesn't want to, then that's all."
At this moment, a young boy with fine features and fine features ran over panting. When he got close, he bowed and said, "Two senior brothers, Shangzhen just sent a message, saying that it is almost time, and he calls you two to go to Xuanhe."
Duan Yude looked at the little boy and said, "Junior brother Qi, you are out of breath after taking these two steps. How will you practice Taoism in the future? You should be able to practice the breathing method I taught you."
The little boy looked at his serious look and became nervous unconsciously, saying: "Yes, senior brother."
However, Duan Shizai came up and touched the child's head and said, "Okay, okay, Junior Brother Qi is still young, and it's not like you can achieve success in one or two days in this practice. Just take your time."
Duan Yude said solemnly: "Don't slack off in your practice. Brother, please don't teach me to bad things."
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault," Duan Shizai said with a smile, "I'd better leave quickly, don't miss the time and be unable to catch up with my mentor."
Duan Yude said: "Brother is right." He took a step back and said, "Brother, please go first."
Duan Shizai shook his head helplessly, waved to the little boy, and flew into the air. Duan Yude followed suit, and the two beams of energy flew straight to the top of Zhaoyou Tianchi. When they reached the sky, they looked at the mirror-like lake surface. The two nodded to each other and rushed in one after another. In an instant, they both felt as if they had broken through a barrier, and then an extremely vast world was revealed in front of them.
They stood on a high bank. In front of them was a vast river that occupied most of their field of vision. It reached the sky in the distance, with thousands of waves roaring and swallowing up the sky.
Dan Shizai said excitedly: "Xuanhe, this is Xuanhe."
This place is called the Xuan River by Taoists. Legend has it that one can go straight to Xuan Yuan Tian by following this river and receive enlightenment from the Taoist master. But if they can't match the lead, then no matter who they are, they can only come here once in their lifetime. This time they returned here for the first time, and they were shocked for a long time when they looked at the magnificent scene in front of them.
??Duan Shizai unconsciously exclaimed: "Ten thousand hectares of fairy waves have gone, thousands of lakes have returned to spiritual light, mysteries have arisen in the world, and the heaven and earth have written chapters!"
He looked back and forth and found that there were many monks on the river also fighting to cross. This is because this great river not only leads to the sky, but also connects all the heavens and all realms. Those who wander here are all looking for fate. However, if you don't really have great luck, you won't be able to gain much. On the contrary, enlightenment here will be smoother than outside.
Duan Yude looked around and saw a dragon boat moored on the river bank not far away, with dozens of black dragons dragging it in front. He stretched out his hand and said, "The mentor boat is there, brother, let's go there quickly." Come on, don¡¯t keep your mentor waiting for too long.¡±
Duanshi Zailian claimed that it was difficult to escape above the Xuan River. They walked quickly and came to the boat.
At this time, there was a boy waiting at the bow of the boat. It was Yuan Jingqing's boy Yuan Ping. When he saw the two people arriving, he bowed and said: "You two brothers are polite. Please come on board. The master is in the cabin."
The two boarded the ship, greeted Yuan Ping, and then entered the cabin. When they arrived at the inner room, they saw Yuan Jingqing dressed in black robes, sitting on a futon, and Lu Xuanji was standing behind him. They quickly stepped forward to salute, saying "mentor", and then saluted Lu Xuanji and said, "Senior brother."
Lu Xuanji also raised his hand and said, "You two junior brothers are polite."
Yuan Jingqing glanced at the two of them and said:"Now that we've arrived, let's set off."
Following his order, dozens of dragons in front let out low groans, then dragged the boat, knocked away the waves of white air, and traced back to its source.
The two Duan brothers stood aside obediently. When Duan Shizai arrived here, he unconsciously put away his previous lazy look, but his eyes still glanced outside from time to time.
Yuan Jingqing closed his eyes and said nothing.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the disciples below didn't dare to speak. For a while, the cabin was extremely quiet, only the sound of the waves rushing outside could be heard from time to time.
I don¡¯t know how much time passed, but the boat slowed down slightly and stopped.
Yuan Jingqing looked at the Duan brothers and said: "This is the Baoling Realm, which is transformed from the Baoling Mountain and River Qi Map around my mentor. This is the only way to the Xuanyuan Heaven. There are countless magic treasures hidden in it, and They all have spiritual transformations, and most of the fates mentioned by the world fall here. I remember that you two don¡¯t have any magical weapons yet, so you can go to the inner room and pick one each."
Dan Shizai was overjoyed and said, "Thank you so much, my mentor." He thought about it again and said, "Where is senior brother?"
Lu Xuanji smiled and said: "Junior brother, have you forgotten that the way I cultivate does not require these things? You can just go on your own."
Dan Se Jae patted his head, saluted, and then dragged his brothers into the boat happily.
Yuan Jingqing was sitting still. At this moment, the clear air in the cabin turned, and the Shanhe boy appeared from inside. He bowed his head and said, "Yuan Shang is so polite."
Yuan Jingqing also gave another courtesy and said: "Fellow Taoist, you are polite."
Shanhe boy said: "Since Yuan Shangzhen has arrived in the realm, why not go and sit in the realm?"
Yuan Jingqing said: "No need, I'm waiting for a few senior brothers here. When they arrive later, they will be on their way, so I won't bother my fellow Taoists."
Seeing that he was unwilling, Shanhe Boy said a few polite words and left again.
The two Duan brothers took a dip in the treasure spirit realm and quickly selected suitable treasures. When they returned to the boat, they no longer sat around doing nothing as before, but each communicated with the treasure spirit.
Yuan Jingqing did not restrain them. After waiting for a while, Yuan Ping came in and said, "Master, Wei Shangzhen's boat has arrived."
Yuan Jingqing stood up and said, "Follow me." Lu Xuanji and the Duan brothers quickly followed and walked out.
When they arrived outside, everyone raised their eyes and saw a dragon and carp carrying a huge boat coming from a distance. Wei Zihong was standing at the head of the boat, with Fu Baoxing and Han Zuocheng beside him.
When the boat came close, Yuan Jingqing bowed his head and said, "I have seen three senior brothers." The three disciples around him also followed suit.
Wei Zihong returned the favor with a smile and said, "Junior brother, please wait here for a long time." He looked at the Duan brothers and said, "Is this the newly acquired disciple of junior brother? Well, his abilities are extraordinary."
Yuan Jingqing said: "Cultivating the Tao is still shallow and not yet effective."
Wei Zihong laughed and said, "Junior brother, please don't be too harsh."
After the brothers chatted with each other, they boarded the boat together. On the way, they met Jiang Zheng, who was crossing from other realms in a boat alone. They passed through several realms and finally arrived at the Xuan River in the Xuan Yuan sky. It seems to have reached its end.
The Duan brothers saw a Taoist palace emerging from a distance and knew that this was where their ancestor lived. They couldn't help but feel excited.
The group of people got off the boat one after another, and Jiang Zheng was at the front, leading everyone towards the Taoist Palace, and soon reached the jade steps.
Everyone looked up and saw Liu Yan, her hair tied with a silver ring and wearing a plain Taoist robe, standing on the steps. Tian Kun and the Wang sisters arrived earlier than them and were standing together, looking at each other with smiles on their faces. Further back, there are disciples such as Zuo Hanzhang and Lin Sixue who have recovered their memories.
Jiang Zheng felt deeply in his heart and thought to himself: "How many years have passed since we were members of the Zhaoyou family, and we are finally reunited here." He took a step forward, bowed his head, and said, "I have met Senior Sister, and I wish you all the best." Successfully released."
Wei Zihong and other four people also came up to congratulate each other, and then the group met Tian Kun and the Wang sisters one by one.
After Liu Yanyi exchanged farewells with his fellow disciples, he smiled and said: "Since several junior brothers and disciples have arrived, please follow me into the hall to pay homage to my mentor."
Everybody said yes.
Liu Yanyi rolled up his sleeves and turned around, leading the way, leading Zhaoyou and his disciples up the steps and arriving in front of the palace gate. Jing You was already waiting there. When he saw everyone coming, he bowed from a distance and looked very handsome. It's respectful.
Seeing him like this, Wang Caiting joked: "Big Head, when did you become so serious?"
Jing You smiled and said in unison: "I've always beenA serious person. "He and the others nodded in salute, then stepped aside and let the door open.
All the disciples looked solemn, and all came to the palace. When they reached the main hall, they saw Zhang Yanxuan, covered in robes, sitting on the jade platform. He was clearly close to him, but he seemed to be high up.
Liu Yanyi bowed first and said: "Yanyi pays homage to my teacher." Behind her, Tian Kun, Wang Caiwei, Wang Caiting, Jiang Zheng, Wei Zihong, Han Zuocheng, Fu Baoxing, Yuan Jingqing and others also bowed together and said: "Disciple pays homage to my teacher." .¡±
And the three generations of disciples in his sect also bowed down one after another and called him the Patriarch.
Zhang Yan smiled and said: "No need to be formal, just get up."
The disciples stood up as instructed, but at this moment, the sound of rolling floods suddenly sounded outside, and the water of the Xuan River was also turbulent, as if it suddenly transformed from finite to infinite.
The disciples were surprised for a while, wondering what had happened. You must know that their teacher is the Taoist master. In the place where the Taoist master lives, is there anyone or anything in the world who can transmit the movement here?
Zhang Yan stood up, looking at the seemingly finite and seemingly infinite place. He knew that another fellow in the Great Dao had achieved the highest level.
Patriarch Taiming!
This Patriarch originally received all the energy of creation, and later the Great Dao focused on principles and was able to return it. Originally, he was not far from the end of the Dao, but the Dao had been opened to him long ago. In the end, the missing parts were made up, and he saved 10%. Climbed to the destination.
???????????????? However, this Patriarch did not stop at all. After his achievement, he fled directly outside the avenue, leaving no trace in everything.
This is what he has been waiting for. When we meet again next time, maybe we can call him a Taoist friend.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? will be the time for the Tao Master to leave. However, the Tao to the Perfect Man can be both far away and close, so as the Perfect Man, he will still stay here.
"Mentor?"
Zhang Yan heard the disciples calling, he looked back, smiled slightly, and stood with his sleeves folded.
"If there is no opponent in the pursuit of the great road, how can we compete? This is really a blessing!"
