Chu Chen Kee

Nowadays, people respect Buddha and Taoism, Buddhist temples and Taoist temples can be seen everywhere, but the Taoist temple with the most incense is the Yuxu Temple on Langya Mountain outside the city.

The Yuxu Temple is the place where the two national teachers practiced. The emperor wanted to show his heart to the Tao. Tens of thousands of migrant workers were used to build this temple, and it took three years to complete it.

Langya Mountain is steep, with three sides of cliffs cut by knives and axes. The cliffs are abrupt and strange rocks, which are difficult to climb. Only the north side is a gentle slope. Craftsmen built a road with nine thousand stone steps for people to walk.

Yuxu Temple is located on the top of Langya Mountain, with towering green peaks and shrouded clouds and mist, it feels like a fairyland on earth.

When Bai Yi's spiritual consciousness followed to the foot of Langya Mountain, that spiritual consciousness disappeared, presumably he entered this enchantment.

"This layman, did you come to offer incense?" A gray-clothed Taoist stepped forward to salute, looked Bai Yi up and down, with a bit of contempt in his expression.

Although Bai Yi looks good, he only wears an ordinary blue shirt and ordinary cotton boots. He is still wearing such thin clothes at this season, so one can tell at a glance that he is not a wealthy person.

Bai Yi looked up at the spot, and saw that the nine thousand white marble steps were magnificent, looking up from the bottom, it looked like they were reaching the Heavenly Palace. There were also some pedestrians going up the mountain on the stone steps, but their clothes were either rich or expensive, and there were crowds of servants and boys around them. .

"En." Bai Yi simply responded.

The Taoist looked at him suspiciously, and asked again: "Dare to ask the layman, how much incense do you want to offer?"

When Bai Yi heard this, he raised his eyebrows. He had never heard anyone ask a pilgrim face to face how much incense he had, so he gained a lot of experience.

He smiled lightly and said: "I have no money left in my life, only a heart of Taoism."

The gray-clothed Taoist listened, showing such an expression, and said: "Everyone has the heart to seek the Tao, but not everyone can embark on the road of seeking the Tao. Since the layman has no money left, let's turn around. "

"I only heard that people who practice Taoism are pure-hearted and ascetic, and don't like yellow and white vulgar things, but I have never heard that offering incense requires money. Since you are Taoists, what kind of Taoism do you practice?" Bai Yi asked coldly.

"Even if a cultivator sleeps in the open, he is only a great virtue. You are an ordinary person, you have to eat, dress, cook and burn firewood. How can you not waste money? If everyone is like you, our Yuxu How can Guan help the world at the same time?" The Taoist spoke impatiently, and was about to push Bai Yi with his hand.

Bai Yi almost laughed angrily, but finally held back.He fumbled in his arms for a while, only to realize that he hadn't used the money much since he left the mountain gate.

There is a silver ingot in his bosom, which was given to him by his first teacher when he went down the mountain, and he doesn't know how much it is worth.

He casually took it out, threw it to the Taoist, and dismissed the matter.

The Taoist originally thought that Bai Yi was a poor man, but he didn't expect that he would get ten taels of silver when he made a move. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he put the silver to his mouth in surprise and bit it. After seeing the tooth marks on it, he even smiled happily. Not from ear to ear, he said again and again: "Layman, please, please." The rapid change of face is really jaw-dropping.

Bai Yi walked up the mountain, and what he saw along the way were mostly rich and compelling decorations, without the purity of a place of cultivation.I can't help but leave a very bad impression in my heart. Even if the master here is a moral person, he is also a moral person.

His foot strength is very good. In about a moment, he has already walked more than 9000 steps, which makes those who are behind him envious.

Who told the immortal master that there is a rule that anyone who goes up the mountain must dismount his horse and untie his sword, and go up the mountain on foot?

The gate of Yuxu Temple is a Baiyumen Square with a height of more than ten meters. It is carved with exquisite statues of Sanqing, cranes and ganoderma, and white deer and auspicious clouds. hand.

Just looking at one door, and don't know how much it will cost.

Bai Yi frowned slightly.

I saw two intellectuals inside the door, both wearing Hunyuan scarves and Tsing Yi boat shoes.

"Laymen are polite." One of the intellectuals stepped forward and said.

Bai Yi nodded his head as a return gift.

"Which Venerable Bodhisattva do you want to pay homage to, Layman? Poor Daoist can lead the way for Layman." Zhike said.

Bai Yi thought for a while, and said, "I heard that Langya Mountain is picturesque, I just want to take a look at it."

The well-known guest was stunned for a moment, then stepped back politely, and said: "Please feel free. The front is the Yuxu Temple Hall, the left back is our residence, the right is the rest or residence on the Xiangke Mountain, and the last is the two national teachers. The place of cultivation is also a forbidden place of this temple, other than that, guests can go to other places. However, the terrain of the back mountain is too dangerous, so it is best not to approach it."

Bai Yi hummed lightly, and went to the back.

Seeing that there were still people going up the mountain behind, the two intellectuals ignored Bai Yi and hurriedly changed their smiling faces to meet him.

Langya Mountain is extremely cold in winter, and the mountain is even colder, so that dripping water turns into ice.

And in this icy and snowy field, Bai Yi saw at the end of the path ahead, an old Taoist priest with white beard and hair in old clothes sweeping snow.

Looking at the winding path behind him, you can tell that he has been doing it for a long time.

"Buddha of Infinite Life, little layman, this is not a place where outsiders can come in." Seeing Bai Yi standing at the intersection, the old Taoist stepped forward, clasped his hands together, and recited a Taoist name.

"Old Taoist priest, why can't you come here?" Bai Yi asked pretending to be ignorant.

The old Taoist glanced at him, closed his eyes and said, "This is near the residence of the two national teachers, and no one else is allowed to enter. If this is the first time for the little layman to go up the mountain, someone should remind him."

"No one told me." Bai Yi looked at him innocently.

"I advise the little layman to leave here as soon as possible, so as not to be suspected by others for no reason, and also implicate the old Taoist!" The old Taoist said, looking around nervously.

Bai Yi raised his eyebrows: "Where did the Taoist start?"

The old Taoist gave Bai Yi a suspicious look, and suddenly his face changed slightly, and he saw a middle-aged Taoist walking over.

The comer has a hibiscus crown on his head, wearing a crimson Taoist robe, a black cloak, holding a white jade lotus whisk, and wearing cloud brocade ten-square boots. He looks compassionate and virtuous.

"Infinite Buddha, is this little friend lost?" The visitor looked at Bai Yi with a smile, and his expression changed after only a moment of sizing up, "Forgive me for my poor eyesight, but I didn't realize that little friend is also a practitioner."

At the same time, Bai Yi could see that the opponent's cultivation was in the early stage of foundation establishment, while he was in the late stage of foundation establishment. He could clearly see the level of the opponent's cultivation, but the opponent could never tell the depth of his cultivation.

"Dare to ask senior's title? The poor Taoist's name is Yichenzi." The Taoist immediately restrained his voice, and his attitude became respectful and humble.

In his opinion, Bai Yi is just a ten-year-old child, and it is absolutely impossible to have higher mana than himself. In fact, he can't understand Bai Yi's strength at all, so there is only one possibility, Bai Yi is The masters of Jindan and even Yuanying stage have reached the realm of immortality.

Looking at the current cultivation world, there are no more than a thousand masters who can reach the Jindan stage, while only a hundred people can reach the Nascent Soul stage.In today's world, spiritual energy is getting thinner day by day, and there are fewer and fewer people who can attain the Dao and ascend physically.Many people can't even reach the golden core stage, let alone the later cultivation.

It is not an exaggeration for Bai Yi to have such a cultivation level, to call him a senior.

As soon as Bai Yifeng turned his eyes, he guessed what Yichenzi was thinking, and said along the way: "This deity is just looking at it casually, so you don't have to be nervous. Which sect are you from?"

Yichenzi heard the words, and hurriedly said: "Back to the senior, I am the outer disciple of the Danding Sect."

"Outer disciple? It's not bad to have this level of cultivation." Bai Yi pondered for a moment and said.

He is naturally familiar with the Dandingmen. In order to temper his bones, his master took him to live on the back mountain of the Dandingmen for more than half a year.

As for why you don't just use spirit stones to buy pills...

Bai Yi's master, Shuiyue, touched his nose and told him: "Because the bull-nosed people of Dandingmen are too stingy, my master just borrowed them three soul-returning pills back then, and they were at odds with us, and vowed to come back from there." From now on, I will never sell a pill to my disciples again."

The three soul-returning pills were made with the efforts of thousands of people from the top and bottom of the Danding Sect, and it took ten years and countless rare herbs.There are ten grains in one furnace, and only five grains remain when the pill is completed.

When Bai Yi heard it, he could only silently touch the tip of his nose.

After hearing Bai Yi's words, Yi Chenzi's eyes lit up: "Could it be that senior knows our disciples of Danding Sect?"

Bai Yi was a little ashamed, and said: "I do know, I am familiar with people like Danxiazi and Danyangzi."

Back then, Danxiazi and Danyangzi, two old Taoists, chased him and his master for three days and three nights, all the way to the South China Sea. Are you not familiar with it?Because they were wronged and couldn't fight back, the memory of being chased and beaten all the way is very unforgettable.

"Senior, you actually know two masters!" Shocked, Yichenzi firmly believed that Bai Yi was a hermit.

How can you miss the opportunity to hug a tall man's thigh?

Yi Chenzi's face smiled like a chrysanthemum, "Quick, senior, please sit down in the front hall and rest for a while. I didn't know that senior was here, and I'm really ashamed to have neglected senior. Please, senior, please honor me."

Bai Yi held back the strangeness in his heart, nodded expressionlessly, and Shi Shiran entered the VIP room in the front hall under the surprised gaze of the old Taoist priest behind him.

A single expression of Yi Chenzi can move dozens of people busy under his hands. The tea brewed is the favorite spiritual tea of ​​monks. Drinking it can replenish spiritual power. Compared with the Lu'an melon slices in the world Not the same.

Bai Yi glanced at it slightly, the tea was green and clear, the tea leaves were green and pleasing, and the elegant aroma came out.

After taking a sip, this Danding Sect is indeed worthy of being a great sect in the cultivation world, even the disciples of the outer sect can share the seventh-grade spiritual tea.

After taking a sip of tea, a mass of aura immediately began to move along the meridians.

However, compared with the almost liquid aura in Bai Yi's dantian, this large group of aura is nothing more than a drop in the bucket, and Bai Yi immediately collected and refined it for his own use.

This is also thanks to the fact that Master Bai Yi's way of cultivating Taoism is different from that of others. He can control the state of aura in his body as he likes. The spiritual energy is compressed and compressed again, and the spiritual power is hundreds of times higher than others.

Therefore, when Yichenzi, who didn't know why, saw that Bai Yi drank the spiritual tea that even his master took a moment to absorb without any discomfort, he completely dispelled his vigilance.

"Senior, I don't know what is your business here?" Yi Chenzi asked cautiously.

Bai Yi glanced at him casually, his thoughts flashed, and he said: "This seat is originally an idler in the mountains. I wanted to visit my old friend, but unfortunately the old man is no longer there. I heard that he has been here before, but it's just a chance."

That Yichenzi echoed, "I don't know who is the senior's old friend? If there is a need, I can also do my best."

Bai Yi sighed and said: "He and I usually live in no fixed place, anyway, everything depends on fate, why bother to look for it deliberately? I recently found a few plants of Condensing Yuan Grass, and I can take this opportunity to refine a few Condensing Yuan Grass." Dan."

Yi Chenzi's eyes lit up when he heard the words: "Condensing Yuan Pill?"

This is the most effective elixir for the Foundation Establishment Stage to break through the Golden Elixir Stage.Now that the cultivation world is in decline, very few people have the opportunity to obtain the Condensing Yuan Pill.As an outer disciple, it is even more impossible for him to obtain such a good pill.

Yi Chenzi looked at Bai Yi meaningfully and said, "Senior, if you don't dislike it, there is a pill room in this temple for use."

Bai Yi smiled gratifiedly when he heard the words, and said, "You are a good-natured person, no matter what. I didn't need this thing at first, but it was just for convenience. Today, you and I are also destined. When the time comes to practice the pill, you will be indispensable." one serving."

Seeing that Bai Yi is so generous, Yi Chenzi is even more sure that he is an unborn expert who doesn't understand worldly affairs. He is grateful in his heart and at the same time is even more sure that he must hug Bai Yi's thigh!

"Senior, I'll order someone to prepare the guest room right now. You can just concentrate on alchemy. If you have any orders, please tell me." Yi Chenzi smiled obsequiously.

Bai Yi nodded indifferently and said, "Very good, I won't bother you anymore."

Yichenzi immediately ordered people to go down and make the best guest room available for Bai Yi to rest in. Bai Yi was not polite and followed the little boy.

After everyone else had left, Bai Yi carefully placed a barrier in the room, and then slowly released his consciousness to observe the surroundings.

Suddenly, he sensed an inexplicable restriction around Yichenzi's dormitory to resist his spying.

He withdrew his consciousness calmly and began to meditate intently.

"Master, that guest has set up a barrier in the guest room, and this disciple can't hear anything!" The boy who led the way returned to Yichenzi and replied.

Yichenzi was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Understood, let's go."

His eyes sank invisibly.

If this person is really an expert, then that's all. If he has other thoughts, I naturally have a thousand ways to deal with him!

"Master, the uncle is back." The boy said at the door.

The hall door opened in response.

A middle-aged Taoist priest in a blue Taoist uniform opened the door and entered, his brows were full of kindness, even more benevolent than Yi Chenzi.

"I just felt that someone was spying on the restriction, but what's wrong?" the man walked in and said.

After hearing the words, Yichenzi explained things like this, and then asked: "Brother, do you think this person is trustworthy?"

His senior brother paused, and when he heard the Condensing Yuan Pill, he was also a little moved, and said: "Just wait and see what happens!"

The two hit it off immediately, and they didn't make any calculations.
