founder

The location of the exchange meeting has not changed for a hundred years. Lu Hanshuang and Xiao Yan got off the car at the foot of Changyun Mountain. There was no one in the surrounding area. He looked up at the towering snow peak, took off the sword pinned behind his ear to enlarge it, and jumped up lightly. He was about to carry Xiao Yan Leaving, an anxious call came from behind.

"Ai ai ai, brother, please stop!"

Lu Hanshuang looked back.

A dangling exquisite Persian carpet flew from a distance, and the boy sitting on it seemed to be extremely chilly, and while wrapping the quilt tightly, he said, "Brother, which cave are you from? I don’t know that the sky is full of satellites now, so I’d better get an invisibility technique before flying!”

Lu Hanshuang followed the custom and turned on invisibility.

The boy looked at Lu Hanshuang who was wearing a hat, and then at the young Xiao Yan, feeling very strange, "I closed my eyes for a while, ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, I missed many parties, I really can't recognize you two, Please don't mind if I offend you—may I ask which faction you two belong to?"

"Shanmen Wild School."

Lu Hanshuang stopped gossiping and carried Xiao Yanfei up.

"Well, don't rush to leave." The boy's retreat for more than ten years was mildew for more than ten years, and he finally met a liver that could breathe. Anyway, let him finish talking.

Seeing the two flying farther and farther, the boy chased after them on the flying carpet, and sighed, "Oh, the people in the circle are becoming less and less friendly."

The snow that never melts all year round, and the most difficult mountain to climb in the world, there is a building with an enchantment, which is renovated every time an exchange meeting is held, and this year it was transformed into a resort.

The door was open, and a monk with closed eyes was waiting beside the door, twirling Buddhist beads, and the female nuns who entered the door with invitations kept peeking at them.

Lu Hanshuang took Xiao Yan down with his sword, raised his head to look up before he opened his eyes, and nodded slightly, which attracted the female monk to look over——

Lu Hanshuang restrained her aura, dressed in a low-key manner, and did not attract too much attention, while Xiao Yan, who was cold and tough beside her, diverted some of the attention that Jie Jie received.

Lu Hanshuang walked towards Jie, the thick snow covered his shoes, the soles of the shoes made a slight noise, and from the corner of his eye, he saw Xiao Yan's calf trembling slightly, as if he couldn't stand the cold, Lu Hanshuang passed by with a snap of his fingers, Xiao Yan felt hot under his feet, and wrapped the shoes The cold air all receded, he raised his eyes to look at Lu Hanshuang, the young man had strode up to Jie, leaving only his back.

Liao Jie led the two of them in, leaving the nun's voice behind.

"A lot of new faces came this time."

"Sure enough, due to the overflow of spiritual energy between heaven and earth, there are many casual cultivators..."

The Buddhist and Taoist exchange meetings are held once every ten years, with a long cycle. They are held four times in spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The first "spring meeting" this year is only for mutual exchange, so that everyone can exchange feelings and get acquainted first. , the highlight is still the next few times.

Liao Jie took the two of them to register the room number, briefly described the situation, and then left to let the two of them move freely.

The spring meeting lasted for three days, the first day was for commodity exchanges, the monk circle was closed, and the exchange meeting market was the only large-scale barter channel in the circle.

Those who participated in the exchange meeting would arrive one day earlier, so Lu Hanshuang took a short rest before taking Xiao Yan out for dinner, mainly for Xiao Yan, who sipped tea and listened to the surrounding news.

There were quite a few people sitting sparsely in the hall, most of them were in the Qi refining stage, and they knew people who were familiar with each other and chatted at the same table to exchange news.

Everywhere, large and small sound insulation techniques can be seen to create invisible spaces that do not interfere with each other.However, Lu Hanshuang's consciousness is strong, and a single thought pierces through countless sound-proof barriers, absorbing all the noisy sounds of the hall into his ears, and no one of the little monks notices.

The content is varied.

"It's so old, how can you still use the Internet, buddy, come and let me teach you." A young man enthusiastically taught others how to use smart watches, but the people around him were unwilling to learn, and were dismissed as outdated.

The person next to him said, "Ask Jin and never bother to use these high-tech products. I have never seen anyone scold him, and they all praise him for being devoted to the Tao and not being confused by foreign things, and he has a demeanor of antiquity."

What follows is a non-nutritive verbal dispute, Lu Hanshuang slightly tilted his head, listening to the other side.

"...Have you heard that the Ling family was wiped out?"

"Ling family? Which Ling family, let me think about it..."

"Don't think about it, the Ling family has been in decline for a long time, and many people don't have much memory, but you should have an impression of Ling Feng, right?"

"Ling Feng?! Ah, I see—the Ling family was the number one family back then, but it fell into disarray because of the century-old national disaster, and it only wanted to regain its glory. I heard that this generation has a genius. A person on the same level as Wenjin, who reached the Great Consummation of the Qi refining period at the age of 14, was protected like a jewel like a jewel, and was expected to shine in the family, how could such a tragedy happen?"

"It's not because of that..."

The speaker did not dare to say the name of that person, and a person who had been in retreat for a long time pestered him to popularize science, so the speaker reluctantly talked about the filth of the Yuanzhen School, saying very cryptically, "Oh, I don't know what kind of hatred, that person It's a pity that Ling Feng was alert and escaped with his life, and a young boy walked all over the hills of various aristocratic families and sects, begging for justice."

There was a sigh of relief.

"The top real people in the circle are all in seclusion, and now they can't even ask about that one. Who dares to give him justice?"

"Isn't it? Let alone upholding justice, you can't even find a backer. Aunt Ling Feng is not married to a real person from the Yuanzhen Sect. A few days ago, she knelt in front of the Yuanzhen Sect to ask for entry. Not only did the acting head have no courage to accept him , even his sister-in-law avoids seeing her, a good seedling with a limitless future has fallen to this point."

The crowd sighed.

One person said, "... I heard that he has begged the entire circle of monks, and I don't know who else he can beg for?"

A boy with his head buried in the game looked up, "Isn't there still a Xianyin sect?"

"Immortal Hidden Sect?"

Many people were stunned when they heard the name, "Where did this sect come from?"

"I have no impression!"

"I haven't heard of it either..."

The boy wanted to call up the video for several people to watch, and finally someone remembered, "You mean that sect that likes to meddle in ordinary people's business?"

The man hehe sneered, "You overestimate them. The whole sect of Xianyin Sect is keen on not doing business properly, and only likes to study some small skills in foreign sects. If you want to ask about their deduction ability, they are indeed outstanding, so they are infatuated with the mage and that It is comparable in position, but when it comes to the hard power of real swords and guns, it is only low-level, if you can't catch the eye, you can deceive those ignorant mortals, how can you have the ability to take this hot potato?"

"Alas, what you said is too biased! Shibie will look at you with admiration for three days. The aura in the world can turn from decline to prosperity, so it's not good for someone to produce a capable junior? Don't you believe it, the master's method It is mysterious and cannot be underestimated. If you take such an offensive attitude, you will be at a disadvantage when the time comes, so don’t blame me for not reminding you.”

The boy gave Amway Xian Yinzong to several people with great interest.

The person who was reminded took a few glances, and said even more unhappy, "Be a good monastic school, don't study the Taoism painstakingly, and just show off in front of mortals, where will our whole circle be?"

"That's right, it's not us who are being dragged down by their involvement in secular politics like this?"

"It's their business that they are willing to pretend to be heroes, but in the case of the founding of the country, they earned enough fame. We were implicated and had to hide in the mountains to avoid the limelight without doing anything. It's a trap. Want to cheat us a second time?"

Many people below agreed.

"Boom, boom, boom."

The sound of tapping on the table brought Lu Hanshuang's attention back. He rubbed his forehead lightly, and turned to see Xiao Yan wiping his mouth while handing over the phone, "Zhu Fu'an is looking for you."

Lu Hanshuang took the phone and told him a rather unexpected news:

"Master, a young boy came down from the mountain and said he wanted to join the sect of Xianyin Sect. I told him that you have something to go out, master. He seemed to think I was lying and made excuses. He knelt down and refused to leave, saying that the sect would If he is willing to accept him, he will not be able to kneel for a long time, not kneeling for a week in a day, not in a month in a week, not in a year in a month, he can afford it.”

Lu Hanshuang vaguely understood the identity of this person.

The corners of the lips tugged lightly. This is going to be a dead end. Are you going to rely on Xian Yinzong?

Although Lu Hanshuang was not afraid of Yuanlu, he didn't agree casually. It's okay to pretend to be a teacher once or twice, but the third time is really annoying. He opened his lips slightly and said:

"Then let him kneel."

Zhu Fu'an on the other end was slightly stunned, and then responded, "I understand, Sect Leader."

Lu Hanshuang hung up the communication, and Xiao Yan, who was full of food and drink, looked at Lu Hanshuang's posture of listening casually with his chin propped on his ear, without making a sound, and sat and waited obediently.

The spiritual consciousness penetrated into the sound-proof barrier, and the topic has changed from Xianyinzong to other places.

"...Already entered the Dharma-ending Era, the aura suddenly soared overnight, and there were many new things one after another. There was a lot of cheers in the circle. I don't know why, but I was a little scared. I always felt like something was going to happen?"

"Even if what happens, it's not something we little monks can solve or spy on."

"I remember that both the Buddhists and the Taoists tested the hexagrams. The Buddhists didn't know what they found out, but the Taoist said something meaningful at the time. What is it? If you want to destroy it, you must first make it crazy." ? I thought about it, it doesn’t seem like a good thing, but everyone said it was a gift from God, which reinvigorated the orthodoxy, and I don’t know who to believe.”

"That person has become like this now, and he has done all kinds of evil things. How do you know what he had in mind when he said that at the beginning? How can you believe it?"

When Yuanlu was mentioned, Wenjin was unavoidably mentioned, "The world has changed amazingly these years. I heard that Wenjin also discovered a new secret realm, and they discussed letting young disciples go in for trials?"

"Well, that's right. Several real people from Dazong calculated the opening time of the secret realm, which is the middle of summer this year. The small secret realm can accommodate a hundred people at a time. When summer comes, the disciples will gather in Changyun Mountain again to compete in the arena. It is a rare opportunity to enter Baike for a trial."

After hearing a lot of miscellaneous news, Lu Hanshuang had a general understanding of Taoism, and when the crowd in the hall dispersed, she went back to the room with Xiao Yan to rest.

The next day, Master Chiyan was chatting with his old friends, Lu Hanshuang only said hello to him, and followed Jie to go shopping in the market.

There are rented mobile booths on both sides of the commercial street, which are full of strange and weird goods.Lu Hanshuang had a general understanding of those who had merged from many planes, so he observed how long the two stayed at the booth, and introduced those native materials and items.

Stall owners do not accept worldly banknotes, and the transaction method remains in the ancient barter.

Liao Jieshun mentioned that Lingshi was used as currency in the circle, so Lu Hanshuang used Lingshi to buy some medicinal materials to expand the types of medicinal herbs in the mountain gate medicine field, and bought an heirloom storage ring sold by a poor and down-to-earth monastic family. Sweeping goods one by one along the stalls, attracting attention frequently.

Xiao Yan noticed the surprised expression of the stall owner every time he took out the spirit stone, and asked Jie.

Liao Jie smiled wryly, "Spirit stones have been scarce for a long time, and only some big sects with a deep foundation still have a few treasures." He saw that Lu Hanshuang's expression was a bit troublesome, so he mentioned another transaction method. He didn't expect that they could not only get After getting out the spirit stones, you can still spend a lot of money, and you can feel the different expressions of the monks around you. Perhaps many people have already begun to speculate on the origin of this pair of master and apprentice?

Xiao Yan glanced at the reactions around him, his eyes darkened, and he reassured Jie, "You are the guests invited by my master, and they won't have the guts to rob you after seeing me."

After the robbery sent the two of them back, waves of monks came to inquire.

After participating in the public event provided by the organizer, the monks spent the closing banquet absent-mindedly, and sent the news back to the sect with a lot of doubts: there are many new faces at the exchange meeting. , the most eye-catching is a pair of mysterious masters and apprentices. The master hides his head and tail and is young in physique, so he can't find out his cultivation.The apprentice's face is cold and repulsive, he only has the initial stage of Qi refining, and he is just getting started, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

The two of them look very much like casual cultivators, but it's strange that they spend so much money that even the Yuanzhen sect can't match it!And the one who led the two of them was the Buddhist mage Chian. This alone is enough to make people treat them with caution.

Lu Hanshuang found out the situation in the Taoist circle, took Xiao Yan down the mountain, and called a car to pick him up.

On the way back, Lu Hanshuang was lost in thought looking at the wilderness outside the window, Xiao Yan looked at his glistening side face, and asked, "Are you still going to participate in the Xia Hui?"

Lu Hanshuang looked back and asked without answering, "Do you want to visit the secret place?"

Xiao Yan, "If you have enough cultivation, you can try it."

Lu Hanshuang withdrew her gaze and didn't say anything more, and the previous question was left alone.Xiao Yan looked at his silent profile, the two of them were silent all the way, but it was different from when they came here, Xiao Yan guessed what Lu Hanshuang was thinking about, but he couldn't figure it out, and when he reached the foot of Lingxiao Mountain, he finally understood Lu Hanshuang's thoughtful way all the way .

Among the forests, the green hills are towering, and the seven peaks are like green peaks piercing into the sky.

In front of the stone steps at the foot of the mountain, there was a young boy kneeling, younger than Li Shixuan, his delicate face was stiff and rigid, his cheeks were so thin that they were sunken, and his eyes were hanging down in front of his knees.Surrounded by tourists going up and down the mountain, he also remained silent, only concentrating on counting the ants.

"I've heard about you." Lu Hanshuang stopped beside the young boy.

Ling Feng suddenly raised his head and recognized Lu Hanshuang's familiar costume that often appeared in the video, "The head of Xianyin Sect?"

Lu Hanshuang nodded, "What do you want from me?"

"I want to join the Xianyin sect." Ling Feng stared directly at Lu Hanshuang with a pair of dark and scorching eyes.

Lu Hanshuang nodded again, noncommittal, and said to Xiao Yan next to him, "Let's go."

He walked around Ling Feng and was about to leave.

Ling Feng was stunned by the act of not playing cards according to the rules, and then he leaned forward and grabbed Lu Hanshuang's clothes, "I heard that the Xianyin sect has the most righteous hearts, and they can't see the injustice in the world. Since you know what happened in my family What, why... are you even afraid? Even Xianyinzong has degenerated to the same level as those big sects who pretend to be deaf and dumb, turning a blind eye in order to survive!"

Lu Hanshuang looked back, "You are pitiful, so should I pity you?"

Ling Feng was stunned again.

Lu Hanshuang said again, "There are so many poor people in this world, do I need to ask them all?"

Ling Feng was speechless, his mouth opened and closed, and before he could speak, Lu Hanshuang said again, "It's probably not the first time you've used your provocative method, but you should know that you've repeatedly run into walls in various sects and sects. , Cultivators have a firm mind, and your few words alone cannot shake their decision."

Ling Feng loosened his fingers grasping the corner of Lu Hanshuang's clothes...

Still not working?This person is also unwilling to help him?The blood feud of his parents, uncles, brothers and sisters who died tragically can only be swallowed with blood mixed with his teeth, can he bear it to death?

Lu Hanshuang lowered his eyes, condescendingly looked down at the young man's devastated and battered appearance, his expression was indifferent, and he left the last sentence, "Begging for others is worse than asking for yourself. Instead of asking for my charity and mercy, it is better to impress me with your sincerity. If you can let me see If there is a reason why I must accept you, why not accept you?"

Xiao Yan frowned, stepped up to follow Lu Hanshuang who was climbing up the stairs, glanced back and recovered from the daze, his face still had disbelief, but his eyes gradually revealed the determination of the young boy, feeling a little bit of displeasure in his heart.

The person in front of him had a strand of gray hair fluttering, which disturbed Xiao Yan.

For a moment, he really wanted to clasp the shoulders of the person in front of him. As for what he wanted to do next, he didn't know very well, but Lu Hanshuang's thoughts were always like looking at flowers in a fog, separated by a hazy distance that seemed near and far, making it difficult for him to grasp. Stuck, unable to control, and thus upset.He was tired of this powerlessness, wanted to break free, wanted to grab something, and made Lu Hanshuang stop.

"What are you thinking about?"

Xiao Yan raised his head as the cold voice poured down his head.

The person in front of him stopped and looked down at him, his eyelashes slightly lowered, and the shadow in the forest embraced half of Lu Hanshuang's body, casting a light and dark boundary between them.

Xiao Yan endured it, but still couldn't hold back, "You have always been indifferent to the matter of recruiting apprentices. Treating that young man like this is obviously because you value him and want to cultivate him."

"That's right." A good seed who is approaching the realm of foundation establishment can be said to have sent the answer sheet to solve the problem of body-soul incompatibility. Lu Hanshuang has no reason not to pay attention to it.

Xiao Yan pursed his lips.

Lu Hanshuang fanned her eyelashes slightly, her eyes flickered, and she understood his thoughts, "Are you jealous?"

In the prehistoric times, he treated his disciples equally, and occasionally there was a bias, and the disciples would pinch the sky and the earth, and the situation would change color, which is quite surprising.Raising his arm and stroking Xiao Yan's forehead, the spirit of the sky in the Purple Mansion was extremely pure, Lu Hanshuang opened his lips, "Don't think too much, his appearance just happened at the right time, you brothers and sisters, you are the one I like the most .”

Xiao Yan retreated sharply and almost fell from the steps, but was caught by Lu Hanshuang. For a moment, he felt that not only his forehead was burning, his brain was dizzy and hot, but his waist was also burning.

Lu Hanshuang waited for him to stand still, then let go of his hand as if nothing had happened.

Xiao Yan followed behind up the mountain, his mind was buzzing, although he was comforted and his mood was much more stable, but he was still stimulated by Ling Feng's appearance. When he returned to the sect, he dragged the whole sect up and down to practice hard day and night. The brothers and sisters were miserable.Xiao Yan's perseverance was astonishing, and his comprehension aptitude was good. He spent the whole day in the formation of getting twice the result with half the effort, and in ninety days, he rushed to the peak of the middle stage of Qi refining.

Song Zhanfei also entered the early stages of perfection, only one step away from entering the middle stage. The newcomers Third Junior Brother Qing Shan and Fourth Junior Brother Qing Xuan successfully introduced Qi into the body, touching the edge of the early stage of Qi Refining.

On the other hand, Liang Jia and Yang Yang, although they have foundations, their talents are limited and they are not as good as the three young men from the inner sect. Practice hard and try to make up for your weakness with diligence.

On the eve of the summer exchange meeting, Xiao Yan thought of the surprise caused by the spirit stone, and deliberately asked Jie to reveal the identities of the two. Sure enough, within a few days, the Yuanzhen faction sent an invitation to the "Summer Meeting".

At the foot of the mountain, Ling Feng was exposed to the wind, sun, and rain, kneeling for a long time, never slacking off for a day, full of sincerity.

The footsteps fell down.

Lu Hanshuang took two Taoist boys and four apprentices, all dressed in neat martial arts costumes, to attend the summer meeting. Passing by Ling Feng who was kneeling motionless in front of the stone steps at the foot of the mountain, Lu Hanshuang stopped in his tracks.

"Get up."

Ling Feng touched his head to the ground, and said in a muffled voice, "If you don't accept me, I won't get up."

"You don't want to participate if you want to determine the quota for entering the small secret realm through the ranking of the ring in the circle? You may miss a lot of good things by kneeling here foolishly. After all, no one knows how many treasures are hidden in the secret realm."

Ling Feng's eyes fluttered, but he quickly became firm again, and lowered his head, "I'll wait here for your return."

Lu Hanshuang's lips parted slightly, and he raised his arms to create a gust of wind, dragging Ling Feng up, "Don't get lost."

Ling Feng staggered, stabilized his figure and looked at the young man leading his apprentices striding forward, he couldn't believe his ears, the adult man next to the young man looked back and frowned, "I still haven't followed."

Ling Feng came to his senses, chased after him in a hurry, took the bag handed over by Xiao Yan, looked down and saw the disciple badges and the school clothes made to order inside, his head was a little dazed.

Is this accepting, accepting, accepting him?

Xianyinzong is not afraid of the threat of Jindanqi, willing to accept him, willing to give him asylum?Although this was what he dreamed of day and night, but it really came to an end... He rubbed his head, did he have hallucinations because his head burned out after kneeling for too long?

Compared with the free and undisciplined spring meeting, which focuses on communication, the summer meeting focuses on group arena competitions. The disciples are divided according to each sect. Every time a sect enters the arena, someone will roll their names.

At the peak of Changyun Mountain, the open-air venue for the arena, some disciples who arrived early sat on the stepped seats in each area according to their sects, and talked a lot, "I heard that the master and apprentice who threw spirit stones last time came from the one who likes to hang out in the mundane world. The Xianyin sect? It's really them, right?"

"The little apprentice of Master Chian admits it himself, can he still lie?"

"... But, why do they have so many spirit stones? I heard that they swept across the commercial street like bulldozers. They didn't bargain at all, and threw a lot of spirit stones without even frowning. That's so rich, I envy the dead! Their shopping trip is estimated to be worth the inventory of the Yuanzhen School, right? How did these spirit stones come from?"

"I think the Yuanzhen Sect is also very curious." Someone who knew the inside story snorted coldly, "During the spring meeting, the Yuanzhen Sect still disliked the Xianyin Sect for not understanding the rules and corrupting the Taoism, and even dared to refute the face of the infatuated mage. He refused to send invitations to Xianyinzong, but when he heard that it was profitable, he eagerly sent a post to others, ha ha."

A roll call came from outside the arena: "The head of the Xianyin Sect brought his disciples to—"

All the disciples looked around in unison.

First shocked by Lu Hanshuang's handsome and handsome face, he was speechless, and then his eyes slid to Ling Feng who was hiding in the disciple team, and he was shocked again!

"Fuck! Am I blind?"

"Xian Yinzong really dare to accept him? Is the head of the sect crazy?"

"It may be that the Xianyin sect is out of touch with the circle and doesn't understand the inside story." Some female disciples who were attracted by Lu Hanshuang's beauty began to think: How about finding a chance to talk to the head of the circle about grievances?How sad and regrettable it would be for such a beautiful person to be entangled by that mad dog and evil spirit!
