The two talked all the way and quickly returned to the dormitory. Yang Chongwu made a few brief explanations, picked up a hatchet from behind the door, and went about his own business. Su Junheng was left alone in the house, bored, lying on the bed looking at the ceiling in a daze. Yang Chongwu told him many things about cultivating the world along the way. Today, the trend of cultivation is booming. There are hundreds of thousands of cultivating sects, and the forces of good and evil are intertwined. Among them, the six major forces of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and demons are the most prosperous. And because although the six major sects are divided into good and evil, they are all The ultimate goal is to cultivate the immortal way, so they are collectively called the Six Immortal Sects. The three sects of the Right Way are headed by Lingxiu Peak. Lingxiu Peak is located at the end of the east, 18,000 miles away from the Suffering Realm. It is built on the top of the ancient Lingshan Mountain. It is more than ten thousand feet high. The top is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. It is the supreme spiritual practice of Taoism. In the treasure hall, there are many masters under the sect, with a strong foundation, and is known as the leader of the Six Paths! The "Fuguanghaishi", the place where Confucianism retreats from the world and cultivates immortality, is as far away as Yingzhou. It is a fairy island in the vast sea. It is isolated from the world and has rarely set foot in the Central Plains. However, nowadays, the trend of Confucianism in a difficult situation is prevalent. Many strange people were born in Fuguanghai City, and Yubi Danqing and Zhu Chaochen were one of them. Thousands of miles to the west of the misery, the holy land of Buddhist practice, the "Heavenly Buddha Hometown", is hidden in the vast desert filled with wild sand. It is said that it was built with the thoughts of thousands of sentient beings cultivating Buddhism. The Buddha's site is so elusive that no one has ever known it. , but the current leader of the Ghost Path, Ghost Tathagata, has attained heavenly cultivation. It is said that he came from the hometown of Heavenly Buddha. Therefore, the martial arts of the Buddha Sect is highly feared by the Six Paths! In addition to the three righteous sects, there are also the three evil sects of demons. Among them, the demon tribe is the most powerful. The demon tribe's territory is "Liu Yao Mountain City". Hundreds of miles south of the misery, there are dense forests, poisonous miasma, and poisonous insects, snakes, and ants. Very few of the intruders survive, so the demon clan's poison skills are unparalleled in the world. There are even rumors that the demon cultivators are well versed in the method of harvesting tonic and are accustomed to taking shortcuts. As a result, the demon clan has many powerful people, far surpassing the two factions of demons and ghosts. ! There is also a line of ghosts that suddenly emerged twelve years ago. It is mysterious and unpredictable. It is rumored that there is a "Shura Ghost Realm" deep in the ground. The blood is turned into food for cultivation, and the body is tempered into a mummy and skeleton, which cannot be harmed by any iron. Its leader, Ghost Tathagata, has cultivated to the heavens, and has even reached the Mahayana realm of immortality! As for the bitter cold land in the far north, the mountains and rivers are dangerous, and there are many ferocious beasts and raptors that feed on passing merchants. The Demon Clan's supreme symbol, the 'Demon Emperor's Mausoleum', is hidden deep in the mountains. Compared with the other five sects, the Demon Clan has Since their forces were massacred by Ye Yunfei that year, they, together with the Confucian sect, have been reduced to the bottom of the Six Paths. However, the history of the demon clan is extremely long. According to legend, it is inherited from the lineage of the ancient demon god Chi You. It is said that after Xuanyuan Huangdi captured Chi You, he used dragons and horses to pull his limbs and head and flew away in five directions. Although Chi You's body was split , still wanted to merge in one place, Huang Di was worried that Chi You's ghost was still lingering, so he buried Chi You's body in the five poles. I don¡¯t know when, a legend began to circulate within the demon clan, saying that Chi You was beheaded by the Yellow Emperor. Before his death, he could not let go of his resentment. He was reincarnated to find a host and wanted to be reborn. Therefore, the theory of the demon¡¯s resurrection has been spread throughout the world. At the ceremony where the demon king takes over, he must make a strong oath to try his best to resurrect the demon god Chi You. Su Junheng recalled the things he learned from Yang Chongwu, and suddenly remembered the parchment he saw in the Sancai Qi Gate that day. It seemed to mention the demon clan. Although it was only a few words, Su Junheng still remembered it. new. The reason is that the letter stated that Qi Longxuan's father, Qi Long Luyu, one of the four great princes and kings in today's miserable state, turned out to be from a demon sect and possesses the evil power to destroy the world. Could this be related to the resurrection of the demon god? Woolen cloth? Su Junheng had just entered the world of cultivation and was completely unaware of these secrets, but he remembered that when he was in Yuzhou City that day, when Mo Wenxing threatened Qi Longxuan with the imperial officer, he clearly heard Qi Longxuan say: "My father is from a Taoist sect." I am orthodox, and have taught me to eliminate demons and protect the Tao since I was a child. Come to think of it, Qi Long Lu Yu is not a treacherous and evil person, on the contrary, he is still chivalrous! "Which one is true?" Su Junheng was confused and muttered in a low voice: "I wonder if brother Qi Long knows about this~!" "What is Junior Brother Su thinking?" While he was lost in thought, suddenly a person The sound came from the door! Su Junheng was startled. The voice sounded very familiar. He quickly turned over and sat up, and saw Lu Ming stepping in from the threshold with a smile on his face. This man colluded with Zhao Yanting on Jingming Peak that day and ridiculed him. Su Junheng didn't like him very much, but he still forced himself to smile and said: "Senior Brother Lu!" Lu Ming saw Su Junheng's disgust, but instead Smiling even brighter, he walked up to Su Junheng and said, "Junior Brother Su, Master asked me to give you this Taoist robe, and teach you some basic Taoist techniques and sect rules!" Su Junheng then noticed LuIn his hand, he was holding a dark green Taoist robe, folded neatly. Thinking that Xu Zhiqian had indeed explained it just now, he hurriedly calmed down and said respectfully: "Senior Brother Lu, I'm sorry, Su Junheng listens to your teachings!" As he spoke, Su Junheng bowed to Lu Ming and saluted, and reached out to take the Taoist robe. Unexpectedly, Lu Ming laughed jokingly, pulled his hand back and said, "Don't be anxious, Junior Brother Su, I haven't finished speaking yet." !" Su Junheng felt rude and said hurriedly: "Oh, I'm sorry, please continue talking!" Lu Ming said: "Have you ever heard of a test ceremony before entering the Spiritual Cultivation Peak?" Su Junheng shook his head: "I have just joined Taoism, and I have never heard of this. Please give me some advice, senior brother!" "Yeah~ Very good!" Lu Ming coughed a few times and said solemnly: "Well, the rules of the Spiritual Cultivation Peak." There is a stipulation in the teaching chapter that all disciples of my spiritual cultivation peak must undergo the Jiusi ritual training before they can practice immortality!" "Jiusi ritual training?" Su Junheng scratched his head: "What is the Jiusi ritual training? Huh?" Lu Ming stretched out his right hand, spread his fingers, and waved it in front of him, saying meaningfully: "Just let me slap him nine times!" Su Junheng was furious, vaguely guessing that Lu Ming wanted to make fun of himself, but he had just entered the cultivation world and had to rely on his fellow disciples for everything. He could only suppress his anger and said in a deep voice: "Senior Brother Lu is joking, how can there be such rules in this world? Before accepting a disciple, you have to Slap him first? " Lu Ming didn't know that Su Junheng had noticed the clue, but he was surprisingly patient today. When he heard Su Junheng's question, he immediately put on a smile and said harmoniously: "You don't understand this, Junior Brother Su. , our spiritual cultivator is the largest sect in the world. We have strict rules and regulations, and we pay the most attention to respecting the teacher. I'm going to slap you a few times. It's just to test whether you are loyal and respectful to the teacher. Aren't you a scholar? I must Have you ever heard of the saying "There are three kinds of people, the king, the father and the teacher"?" Su Junheng was dubious, nodded and said: "I have heard that this sentence comes from the Confucian classic "White Tiger Tongyi", but" "It's just that What~" Lu Ming was really shocked when he saw that Su Junheng could tell the origin of this sentence. He was worried that he would see that he had misinterpreted the meaning of the words, so he would not let him think about it carefully, so he hurriedly said: "Where are we Taoists? , the most important thing is to be indifferent, fame, wealth, honor and disgrace are all external things. If you can't bear these slaps, then there is no point in being quiet and doing nothing, forgetting your body. Besides" Lu Minghu After making up a lot of nonsense, he suddenly paused at this point. His aptitude in martial arts was mediocre, but his eloquent tongue was unmatched by anyone on the spiritual peak. He was half-knowledgeable in kung fu. He had an idea and had already thought of prevaricating. After saying this, he changed the subject and said, "Besides, these nine slaps on your face have profound meanings. Seeing that you look like the boss is unwilling, it is really a waste of your teacher's good intentions!" Su Junheng was suddenly Being accused of disobeying his master, he panicked and couldn't think of anything else. He waved his hands and shook his head and said, "No, I don't. What's the profound meaning of this? Can you tell me?" Lu Ming smiled. , put his hand on Su Junheng's shoulder, and said close to him: "I said, please listen carefully. This first slap represents chaos. It is said in the sutra: When the heaven and earth first opened, everything was chaos, and chaos The two elements are yin and yang, so the second slap refers to yin and yang, followed by three talents, four images, five elements, six unions, seven stars, eight trigrams, and nine palaces! The more I fight, the more you will learn in the future. After the Nine Palaces, there are thirty-six Heavenly Gangs and seventy-two Earthly Evils. I have saved you a lot! " "oh! That¡¯s right~! " Su Junheng was dubious and couldn't make up his mind for a moment! Lu Ming was willing to leave no room for thinking. He stood up slowly, clenched his fists in front of Su Junheng, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Junior Brother Su, we will be brothers in the same sect from now on. Okay, these nine slaps, I won't use too much force! " Looking at Lu Ming's proud expression, he even suddenly felt for a moment that Lu Ming was clearly teasing him, but for some reason, he clenched his fists nervously, his heartbeat became faster, but he couldn't find a reason to refute. Just as he was getting anxious, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the door: "Senior Brother Su, don't listen to his nonsense! "
