North Journey

"Senior Brother Changqing, the head teacher has something to call you over."

The icy cold air leaked out from the cave, even if layers of restrictions were set up, it couldn't stop the biting cold. Standing outside the door, Zhang Weiheng didn't dare to get too close, stomping his feet secretly, he was still beaten by the cold A thrill.

No wonder everyone said that senior brother Changqing practiced the hardest. If he were himself, he would not be willing to stay in such an environment for even a moment.

He took a few steps back, took a breath, and rubbed his hands together, but he still felt a little cold.

Then, he heard a voice like ice and snow coming from the cave.

"Thank you, Junior Brother."

Just these four words, clear and cold, with the emptiness and coldness of the snowy field, crashed into his ears.So he couldn't help but look up at the owner of the voice—the snow-clothed cloud satin, the moon-white gown made of ice silk exuding the soft luster of high-quality warm jade, and the light blue cloud pattern surrounding the cuffs of the skirt, following the The movement of people turns into a misty cloud shadow.At this time, the sunlight was just right, and the sun shone on the man's hair, brows and eyes, and the halo was hazy, outlining a vein of indifference and calmness like snow water.

"Senior brother?"

Another simple word, like the sound of jade, brought Zhang Weiheng back to his senses.Some flusteredly adjusted their clothes, bowed their hands,

"Brother."

The man also cupped his hands in return, saying "Junior Brother Qingyuan".

Zhang Weiheng's cheeks flushed for some reason, his eyes wandered, and he didn't dare to look at this senior brother who was younger than him again.

He has been worshiped under the Yinxian sect for seven years, and he has heard of this senior brother who has been teaching and practicing since childhood, but this is the first time he has seen a real person.

The Yinxian sect cultivates the Purification Dharma Gate, most of the seniors in the sect are immortal, emptiness and tranquility, even the disciples of his generation, who practice Qi and fasting the heart all the year round, and the environment makes them so, under the influence of their ears and eyes, most of them are also pure and inactive temper.

However, this senior brother gave him a different feeling, maybe it was because of the overly outstanding appearance, he just felt that there seemed to be everything in the senior brother's eyes, but there was nothing.

Shang Shixu didn't pay too much attention to the distraction of the little Taoist priest behind him. The original owner of his body in this life is too handsome. He has only been in this world for half a year, and he rarely steps out of the cave, but he is still used to seeing others dazed by his looks. .

As he walked slowly towards the place where the head teacher lived, he silently thought about how to act today.

This world is a little different from the previous times, perhaps because of the existence of immortals and gods in this world. When he woke up, he could not see the future of this world as thoroughly as before, but only vaguely detected a little bit. , so it is inevitable to think more carefully.

The task assigned by Ming Qi is to help the Child of Destiny restore the fairy gates of this world.

Even if the context of the future is unclear, with the little development he glimpsed, he can roughly confirm that the restoration of the immortal gate is related to the blood of this body, not to mention that the son of destiny in this world is the elder brother of the original owner of the body, Chu Ze.

So, should we go to see Chu Ze according to the original development?Or to clarify the blood relationship between the two in advance?

Shang Shishu hesitated.

It would be easier for him to act in the future by clarifying it early, but considering the original owner's wishes, he was somewhat unwilling to do so.

Whenever the original owner recalled his biological father, the instinctive pain in his body was not a fake, but an unforgettable resentment after being hurt and abandoned, so for sixteen years, he remained silent and wandered away from the world.But how could Ye Weiyan let go of the elder brother who was chosen by his father to stay with a compatriot of the same mother?Abandoning blood to return to father, Ye Weiyan no longer has any relationship with his father in the causal chain.As far as the original owner's wish is concerned, since he was five years old, he has practiced the method of natural inaction. From the Qing Dynasty of the Northern School, he is afraid that he does not want to be contaminated with blood in the world. one.

The matter of the fairy gate is related to the ascension of various factions, and he has no way to shirk it, but if he recognizes his brother again, if the original owner is there, he will probably be unwilling... What's more, he is only Shang Shixu, not the real Ye Weiyan.

His fingers passed the only jade ornament on his waist. It was not as good as the spiritual treasure of the cultivator, but it was especially cherished by Ye Weiyan because it was the only relic left by his mother.

But at the age of 16, how can you really have no worries?

The residence of the Immortal Sect is not very big, and most of the elders of the sect find themselves in places where they are outstanding. Most of the residences are disciples and elders of the sect who have not yet entered the immortal journey.

In just half a cup of tea, Shang Shixu had arrived at the head teacher's residence.

"Wei Yan is here?"

Before he could knock on the door, the door was already opened from the inside. Shang Shixu first nodded to Zhang Weiheng in thanks, and then stepped into the study.

Zhang Weiheng knew that the teacher should have some private matters to discuss with his senior, so he also nodded at Ye Weiyan and prepared to leave.

However, before he could turn around, the teacher's voice came from inside the door again.

"Wei Heng also come in."

Zhang Weiheng stepped into the study room full of doubts, only to find that instead of just one teacher, there are several more elders, including his own master, Master Pinghe.

"Master. Elder."

The two saluted everyone sitting there, and then straightened up, waiting for the teacher to speak.

However, Chu Yuanlan, the head teacher of Yinxianzong who had already prepared his words, stared at Ye Weiyan with burning eyes, and so did the other elders.

After a while, an elder stroked his beard and said to Chu Yuanlan,

"Senior Brother Xuanyu, you have taken in a good apprentice..."

Although Chu Yuanlan still had his usual serious and stable appearance, there was a trace of relief and a smile in his eyes. He shook his head and said "too much praise", but his eyes fell on Ye Weiyan, full of excitement. Appreciate.

Not yet the age of the weak crown, but only half a step away from establishing the foundation, this is no longer what the word "talent from the sky" can describe.

The Taoist method cultivates the innate qi, but in this world, except for newborn babies, it is difficult for anyone who thinks about it to perceive the location of qi.The process from cultivating acquired qi to realizing innate qi is foundation building.At this time, although Ye Weiyan's innate qi is weak, it can be seen that he has half-stepped into the realm of immortality.

There is no limit to self-improvement, and there is a way to cultivate immortality.

Although building a foundation is only the first threshold before self-cultivation, once it is crossed, it will be the difference between a cultivator and an ordinary person.

How many people are there in Dazuo?But in this huge world, there are only thousands of people who have a predestined relationship to immortality.And among these thousands of people, six or seven out of ten of them will be trapped to death at the level of foundation establishment.

Ye Weiyan almost died due to something happened when she was young.Chu Yuanlan taught him the Taoist method, and his original intention was to use it to take care of his body.

But Ye Weiyan sat in the snow all year round and practiced hard. Although Chu Yuanlan didn't say anything, she couldn't help worrying in her heart.

Now knowing that Ye Weiyan is about to build a foundation, he is relieved.After all, building a foundation is like reborn, and the old hidden dangers can be calmed down.

However, in this way, the original plan is not necessary, but... Seeing Ye Weiyan's unremarkable appearance, Chu Yuanlan's eyes still flashed with regret.

It would be better for the child to go out for a walk...

"Wei Yan," Chu Yuanlan withdrew her thoughts, "This time in ten years, would you like to go to Mingde Academy as your teacher?"

Sure enough... Shang Shixu sighed secretly in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he just cupped his hands slightly,

"Yes."

The ten-year period is a grand gathering for various factions of the Taoist sect headed by Yinxianzong to go to the major academies to recruit disciples. Although the whole sect will accept a seedling if they meet their favorite seedlings in normal times, such an opportunity is really rare. Can't ask for it.Therefore, each sect and faction simply set a date, and every ten years they will go to the major academies to select disciples, and those who want to be immortal will also go to the nearby major academies in those few days to meet the rumored Immortal master.

There are three thousand academies in Dazhuo, and there are only 72 of them who can be called famous families.Among them, Chongwen Academy in Yongzhou and Mingde Academy in Yangzhou are the leading ones.

Chongwen Academy is adjacent to the capital of the country, Anyi, and it was established by the royal family. Many of the masters in the academy are ministers and ministers who have resigned from office.And the person who was the head of the mountain at that time was a great Confucianist in the world, and also the younger brother of the current Holy Master——Prince Rui Ye Sheng.It is said that when Prince Rui was young, he was very popular with the late emperor, but he wholeheartedly admired the sages and did not want to get involved in government affairs. When he was 12 years old, he visited Xiao's hometown three times and got his disciples.When he became an adult, he refused all the rewards and official positions, and went to Chongwen Academy as the head of the mountain, teaching his disciples so far.

Mingde Academy is different. 300 years ago, it was still unknown in Dazhuo.However, it was this inconspicuous academy in the mountains. When the evil spirits in the south of the Yangtze River were causing disasters, the head of the mountain suddenly rose up against the crime, shaking the heaven and the earth with a powerful aura, forcing the evil spirits to dissipate and die.The practice of Confucianism emphasizes self-cultivation, regulating the family, governing the country, and pacifying the world. There is a way but no law, which is quite similar to the sudden enlightenment of Zen Buddhism.The disciples of Confucianism are luckily connected with humanity, and their whole mind is to "establish a heart for the heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, inherit the learning of the past saints, and create peace for all generations."However, Confucianism and Taoism are difficult to cultivate, and those who have achieved success are mostly famous during their lifetime, and after death, they are worshiped by the people and cultivated into Shinto.Therefore, the name of Feng Chang, the head of Mingde Academy at that time, spread all over the world in an instant.If it wasn't for the closure of the fairy gate, I'm afraid he would be able to soar in the daytime.

Now that Feng Chang's footprints are nowhere to be found, Mingde Academy is one of the two major academies in the world, and countless people worship Mingde Academy, just to have him give lectures one day.

Seeing that Ye Weiyan didn't refuse, Chu Yuanlan breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Ye Weiyan didn't care about ordinary affairs, so he turned to Zhang Weiheng and said:

"Weiheng, it's been seven years since you joined my Yinxian sect, and it's time to go out for a walk. Will you go with Weiyan on this trip to Mingde Academy?"

[Although Yinxianzong doesn't want apprentices eagerly, but it always needs to add some fresh blood to the sect. Your senior brother Changqing is just for decoration and appearance, so I leave the business to you] ←Although Zhang Weiheng doesn't know why he is so respected I saw such a meaning in the head teacher, but I am very happy to be able to come out of the mountain with Senior Brother Changqing. O(∩_∩)O

"Disciple is willing!"

The author has something to say:

This chapter mainly explains the background setting~

In this volume, the world of cultivating immortals [Taomen] cultivates the Tao, [Confucianism] cultivates the body, and [Buddhism] cultivates the mind that has not appeared. There are few people + poor resources, and they usually practice behind closed doors. What kills and seizes treasures, as for the dispute between Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, because the gate of immortality is closed [humans] and [monsters] all coexist peacefully, and there is nothing to fight for being human, right :-D

And all those who like to kill and seize treasures, absorb the cultivation of others, and unscrupulously attack mortals are basically considered [evil cultivators]. As for whether there will be [magic cultivators], they are still considering, but even if there are, they are just cultivators. Taoism is different, and its nature is consistent with Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.

Don't care about the style of the last two paragraphs of the author Jun, but just write that this chapter is so boring in the end.
