Searching for the best path, starting from Renjia Town

Chapter 58: At the Foot of Longhu Mountain
"The timing is perfect."

On July 14, the first day of the Ghost Festival, Li Kunshan arrived at the foot of Longhu Mountain early in the morning just as the sky was getting light.

The ceremony of bestowing ordination at the ancestral temple is only held on the Sanyuan Festival. The initial ordination is the simplest, so you only need to arrive one day in advance.

As he approached the mountain road, he saw some people standing in the distance. He thought they must be the people who came to receive the ordination, so Li Kunshan walked over quickly.

The crowd was divided into two groups. One group was completely strangers. When they saw Li Kunshan coming, they glanced at him and turned their heads away. They should be from Gezhaoshan.

The other group, including Uncle Jiu and his friends.

"Master! Uncle!"

Li Kunshan showed a look of joy and walked over quickly while shouting.

"Kunshan!"

"Junior brother!"

Seeing Li Kunshan coming, Uncle Jiu and the others were also very happy and took two steps forward to greet him.

"Yeah, not bad, it's stronger."

When he arrived, Uncle Jiu looked Li Kunshan up and down and nodded, his eyes both kind and relieved.

After not seeing him for half a year, Li Kunshan must have grown a lot.

After all, this apprentice has never let him down.

"Greetings, Master! Greetings, Uncle Master!"

Li Kunshan smiled and saluted Uncle Jiu, Taoist Qianhe, and Aunt Zhe.

Although they didn't participate in the ordination ceremony, as members of the Zhengyi sect, they could come and observe the ceremony. Zhe Gu had nothing to do recently, and actually wanted to be closer to Uncle Jiu, so she brought Nian Ying along.

"No need to be so polite, good boy."

Taoist Qianhe and Zhe Gu smiled and nodded, patting Li Kunshan's shoulders vigorously.

Li Kunshan smiled and turned to Qiu Sheng and the others.

"Brother, you guys..."

"You boy!"

Before he could finish his words, Qiu Sheng grabbed him from the side and grabbed his throat.

"Without a word, he left without a word and has been gone for half a year. Is that right?"

"I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Please forgive me."

Li Kunshan raised his hands and begged for mercy.

"That's pretty much it."

Qiu Sheng nodded, let go of Li Kunshan, and asked excitedly again.

"Hey! Tell us where you've been in the past six months and whether it was fun."

"Yes, I heard Shanghai is very prosperous. Have you ever been there?"

Lu Ming was relatively steady, but they were all young people after all, and his face was also full of excitement.

Nian Ying stood by, without saying a word, and looked at Li Kunshan quietly.

"Actually, I didn't go to many places. As for Shanghai, I stayed there for a few days, but there wasn't anything fun there..."

Li Kunshan thought for a while and gave a brief account of the places he had visited.

"Wow! This is so exciting! If I had known this, I would have run away from home with you!"

Listening to Li Kunshan's story, Qiu Sheng was full of envy.

"Run away from home, you big-headed ghost!"

Uncle Jiu turned around and slapped Qiu Sheng on the head.

"You only know how to play. I've never seen you so focused during training!"

"Am I not caring enough? You're almost killing me!"

Qiu Sheng curled his lips and muttered something, then looked at Li Kunshan and said mysteriously.

"Junior brother, you better be careful this time. I haven't seen you for half a year. I'm so strong now!"

"It seems that Master's special training has worked."

Li Kunshan looked at Qiu Sheng, but couldn't tell anything from his appearance.

Looking at Lu Ming next to him, he also raised his head slightly, looking confident. It was obvious that he had improved a lot in the past six months.

Then, Li Kunshan looked at the other people who were about ten meters away.

A total of six people from Maoshan participated in the ordination ceremony this time, including Li Kunshan and his group, as well as Shi Shaojian and three others.

At this time, Shi Shaojian had not arrived yet, but the other two and their master had already arrived.

Although they are from the same school, they are in the same group as Shi Jian, so they are not close to Uncle Jiu and deliberately keep a certain distance.

Looking at the two of them with their noses in the air, I guess they must have developed some skills in the past six months.

"Big Brother and the others are here."

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw two people walking towards him on the road. They were Shi Jian and Shi Shaojian.

Uncle Jiu and the others stood there without moving, while the two men over there hurried forward with their apprentices.

Shi Jian held his head high, chest puffed out, and, as always, looked arrogant. He walked over and greeted the Taoist friends from Gezhao Mountain. Then he walked straight past Uncle Jiu and the others. He glanced at Uncle Jiu, then at Li Kunshan, and then ignored them, still as arrogant as ever.

"嘁~!"

Shi Shaojian looked at Li Kunshan and the others, snorted disdainfully, and looked at them provocatively.

"What are you showing off for!"

Qiu Sheng widened his eyes, wishing he could have a fight with Shi Shaojian right now, but was stopped by Li Kunshan and Lu Ming.

"It's getting late. What are you still standing there for? Let's go up the mountain."

Shi Jian said this and walked straight towards the mountain path.

"That old bastard!"

Qiu Sheng rolled his eyes and muttered something deliberately vague, thinking that everyone hadn't gone up the mountain yet, so wasn't it clear who they were waiting for?

Shi Jian's face turned cold and he glared at Qiu Sheng.

But after all, he didn't hear clearly, and as an elder, he couldn't argue with a junior, so he could only turn and glare at Uncle Jiu.

Uncle Jiu turned his head and looked away, pretending that he saw and heard nothing.

"Hmph~!"

Shi Jian snorted coldly and had no choice but to give up and continue walking towards the mountain path.

"When we get to the mountain, I'll beat that little bastard to a pulp first!"

Following Uncle Jiu and the others at the back, Qiu Sheng curled his lips again as he looked at Shi Shaojian who was standing in front of him with his hands behind his back and acting pretentiously.

"Don't be careless."

Uncle Jiu said in a low voice with a serious expression.

"And this time, your real opponent is probably not Shi Shaojian, but someone from Longhu Mountain."

"Are the people from Longhu Mountain very powerful this time?"

"How can I tell you?"

Uncle Jiu thought about it and then said this.

"Among the six people from Longhu Mountain this time, two of them pretended to be surnamed Zhang."

"A fake surname?"

"The so-called impersonation of a surname means that the original surname is not Zhang."

Uncle Jiu looked at Li Kunshan and the others with a serious expression.

"Do you know what this means?"

Lu Ming nodded and Qiu Sheng shook his head.

"I usually ask you to study but you don't."

Uncle Jiu was helpless and could only explain.

"Longhu Mountain commands the Three Mountains Talismans, and the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain is the leader of the Zhengyi Sect. All the Heavenly Masters of Longhu Mountain have been known as the Taoist Master of Heavenly Dao, and all have the surname Zhang. Disciples who don't originally have the surname Zhang are allowed to assume the surname Zhang, meaning they are qualified to inherit the position of Heavenly Master!"

"The successor to the Heavenly Master? Isn't that amazing!"

"What do you think."

Uncle Jiu rolled his eyes at Qiu Sheng and continued on his way.

Li Kunshan followed beside him, looking at the towering Longhu Mountain in front of him, his expression also extremely solemn.

Even he dared not underestimate the future old master who was at the end of the art, the big-eared thief who was at the end of the art.

Amidst the fear, there was also a hint of excitement.

"coming."

On a dangerous peak somewhere in Mount Longhu, a burly old man with a white beard stood on a big rock and looked down at the mountain, and suddenly a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Behind the old man stood six young men in Taoist robes. The leader was tall, with narrowed eyes and a lackluster look. The last was shorter, with a pair of unusually large protruding ears, and a humble, obedient demeanor.

At the same time, Maoshan Yuanfu Palace.

Xuanyi Zhenren, who came out to bask in the sun, looked towards the southwest and asked a question.

"How many do you think we can capture during this ordination ceremony?"

"Guarantee one and fight for two."

Zheng Zibu stood beside him and said lightly.

"Ah."

Master Xuanyi nodded and agreed.

"Taking down all three is basically impossible. After all, there's that little monster in Longhu Mountain. Not to mention those little brats, even you, Zibu, are no match for him."

"I'm sorry, Master, I've disappointed you."

"how come."

Master Xuanyi waved his hand and said lightly.

"It's really because Zhang Zhiwei is such a monster."
