Taoist chanting

Yang Shuilan asked curiously: "You are lucky, or did you hear someone tell you that there is a secret realm to open?"

"It's the turtle that doesn't move, the old turtle, he said that there are three secret realms at the bottom of Bolan Lake. Unless you have a fourth-level cultivation, you can't get in if you open it. The one that will be opened soon is the 'Zhenbo Secret Realm', a long time ago What has been handed down, after more than 500 years of precipitation, should have accumulated a lot of treasures and good things, and it will be enough to reward him with a little at that time."

Seeing that everyone was paying attention, Xiao Ni'er said with a smile.

Yang Shuilan thought for a moment, looked at the temple master and Lu Zijin, and said: "At that time, please invite Lu Zijin to go in and explore together, and take care of each other, and leave Lezi to watch the old turtle outside. People's hearts are separated, and the best thing is to be careful."

She has seen too many intrigues, she must take the precautions she should take, and be careful when sailing for thousands of years.

Xiao Ni'er said indifferently: "Okay, there are so many people. Gui Fudong dares to make troubles, I will not pull out his tortoise shell." Looking around, he said: "Aren't Lu Huan and Grandma Shizu coming back for the New Year?"

"Your grandparents are almost here, and Lu Huan has to stay in the mine, and she doesn't want to run, because she finds it troublesome to go back and forth."

Yang Shuilan explained.

Several people were talking, when Yue Anyan greeted and laughed with the disciples guarding the door.

By the Willow River, under an inconspicuous low mountain.

The mountain badger nestled comfortably on top of the sparkling spar, and the scattered gems nearby illuminated the dark cave with colorful lights. It closed its eyes without lifting its eyelids, opened its mouth to suck, and chewed on two spar Crisp.

It's a comfortable day.

After digging mines for three days and sleeping for three to five days after eating, Daoist Yue never urged it.

The temple master told it that when the mine is hollowed out, it will almost be able to advance to the fourth level. Calculate the time, three years, or five years... Huhu, the mountain badger fell asleep.

It digests and absorbs spar energy in its deep sleep.

Chapter 657

On the first day of the first lunar month, the Tianla sacrificial ceremony went on for more than an hour, and the sky came to an end.

Zhang Guanzhu was wearing bright yellow cassock embroidered with gold silk and silver, a crown inlaid with gemstones on his head, and holding a gold silk dust whisk. He helped the elder brother Jia De'an, who was over eighty years old, with a stooped waist and gray hair, to walk out of the hall, followed by the head of the mountain and the third brother. Shang Zheng, followed by Yue Anyan, Zhao Zhuer, and finally Lu Zijin and the deacons.

More than 110 disciples on the left and right sides stood silently and bowed their hands respectfully.

The first three batches of official disciples originally had a total of 140 seven people. After so many years, some died in battles in border towns, some fell in accidents when they went out to explore, and some were dismissed from the mountain gate for misbehaviour. Currently, there are still 130 seven officially registered disciples. All the disciples who did not return to the mission and guarded the shops were all present.

More than [-] apprentices from the fourth batch of Taoist temples are not qualified to participate in the grand ceremony, so Fang Mu can enjoy family happiness at home.

"Well, it has been more than 20 years. My Jia family has not even produced a single qualified apprentice. Is it because my Jia Dean has a bad character and hurt Yin De, or is the Jia family's bad luck?"

Walking on the empty bluestone square outside the new hall, Jia De'an looked lonely and sad, and muttered to himself in a low voice.

Even if he can't cultivate immortals, he has been reciting scriptures and practicing for many years, and his body knows it well, and he feels powerless.

Zhang Wenfeng patted senior brother's withered left hand covered with age spots, and comforted softly: "Cultivation is in the body, let nature take its course, senior brother, don't worry about the juniors, if possible, choose a young and strong Jia family who can endure hardships to come into the mountain gate to do some kitchen work , The outside chores in the dining hall are full of incense and fire."

Jia De'an nodded gratefully to the still young-looking Guanzhu: "Thank you, Guanzhu, for fulfillment!"

The disciples of the Foreign Affairs Hall of Xianling Temple have a generous salary. It is said that a catty of spiritual rice is distributed every year.

Guan thought of incense and love to take care of him, and he was relieved.

After the fast meal in the morning, and seeing off the two elder brothers, Zhang Wenfeng said hello to the head of the mountain, and walked quietly by the stream alone.

I heard that Uncle Lame's family rushed to Zhangjiazhuang before dawn to participate in this year's ancestor worship, and even Xiao Nier went to join in the fun.

Yang Shuilan, Lezi, and Xiao Ni'er are not Taoist priests. Whether they participate in the sacrificial rituals or not depends on their own wishes. For example, Lu Zijin is either a Taoist priest or a sect monk. In recent years, they have all participated in the New Year's ceremony.

After walking for a while, Zhang Wenfeng waved to the apprentice who was following him a hundred feet away when he came to the foot of Xianling Mountain.

Zhuang Yu trotted forward, with a shy smile on his face, cupped his hands and bowed in salute: "For disturbing the master's peace, I will pay my respects to the master on behalf of the senior sister, and wish the master a smooth road to immortality and all the best!"

"Okay, okay, get up, shall I give you two red envelopes or one? You kid is playing tricks again."

Zhang Wenfeng smiled and took out a red paper bag, and handed it to the apprentice who paid New Year's greetings.

Zhuang Yu pinched the red envelope containing a spirit stone, and said with a smile: "Master, you can reward me with the senior sister's share, and I can keep it."

"Can you still receive the red envelope? You think of good things."

Zhang Wenfeng walked up the mountain and saw Zhuang Yu following him all the way, he said with a smile, "It's New Year's Eve too, do you have something important to talk about after the New Year's Eve?"

As soon as Zhuang Yu met Master's eyes, he hurriedly lowered his head, and seeing Master's sleeves fluttering forward, he hesitated and hurriedly followed, and said in a low voice, "Apprentice shouldn't be talking about things on this day, but here you go." The matter is so important that the disciples cannot and dare not delay any longer, so please punish the master!"

"Oh, what's the matter, let's talk about it? Don't be punished every now and then."

Zhang Wenfeng didn't stop, he climbed up the steps, and said in his mouth as if joking.

Zhuang Yu was two steps behind, and said in a low voice: "The disciples of Xianling Temple, Zhuang Mi and Zhou Shun, took advantage of the convenience of being in charge of the Xianling Commercial Store in Fangshi, Nanjiang Prefecture, colluded with each other to make false accounts, and corrupted more than [-] spirit stones before and after. , how many spars, the evidence is conclusive, I implore the Lord to show me how to deal with it?"

He took out two booklets and held them to the temple master who stopped.

Zhang Wenfeng looked as usual, took the brochure, and continued

Walking up the mountain, he said, "You and Zhuang Mi are cousins ​​who haven't left the third server yet. He is so stupid that he did such a wrong thing. Didn't you notice it at all?"

Zhuang Yu didn't dare to hide anything anymore, the master knew about this in advance, and has been waiting for him to take the initiative to report, and said in a low voice: "I am ashamed, I used to be busy with wiring and overseas wars, and neglected internal supervision. Last autumn , I found the problem and arranged for the inspection, the apprentice is not doing well, and I have failed the master's trust..."

Zhang Wenfeng held up his palm to block it, and said, "Tell me how to deal with Zhuang Mi and Zhou Shun?"

Sweat dripped from Zhuang Yu's forehead, and he said dryly, "The amount of corruption between the two is huge. According to the law of the sect, the two people's corrupt income should be confiscated, and their cultivation should be abolished. .”

It is almost impossible for a prisoner who has lost his cultivation to get out of the prison alive.

Zhang Wenfeng stopped, looked at the pale-faced apprentice, and said: "If you find that the problem has been procrastinating and you have not reported it, you will disappoint me. Today is the first day of junior high school, and it is not too late. I will delegate this matter to you and the master." Handle it together with the Lvtang, you told Wei Jingjie that the internal trial of Xianling Temple will be concluded, and the result will be known to all members of Yuzong's sect, so that all disciples can take it as a warning, so you don't have to bother with the Daolu Branch of Zhoucheng."

Zhuang Yu was overjoyed, and quickly bowed to salute: "Thank you, Master, for your kindness!"

Abolishing cultivation, expulsion from the sect, and being able to survive with one life, becoming a rich man is already the best ending.

He understood that the master was looking at his merit and hard work, so he lenient the net.

His uncle's family had only one single seedling, and he couldn't bear to let the white-haired man give away the black-haired man, cutting off the incense offspring. He secretly rejoiced that he resisted the idea of ​​erasing the evidence for his cousin, and he was not confused. point.

Zhang Wenfeng shook his head and continued to walk up, and said: "They disappointed me so much, the future of the road, they lost to mere spirit stones, the sect has no shortage of their cultivation resources, I had originally planned to let him and Zhang Xuandong withdraw this year In the middle of this year, we will bring a group of disciples to practice in a secret realm, they are on the list, and the sect will not forget their contributions.”

There are many temptations on the road of practice, and he is very sad that the disciples he taught have gone astray.

Zhuang Yu bowed and saw him off on the bluestone steps of the mountain road.

Walking up to the top of the mountain, Zhang Wenfeng gazed into the distance, and he gave his apprentice a chance.

Fortunately, Zhuang Yu didn't let him down by being confused.

It's easy to talk about killing relatives in a righteous way, but when it comes to the real face, especially Zhuang Yu and Zhuang Mi's close relationship, it's hard not to help cover it up when they were young. With Zhuang Yu's intelligence, there are many ways to help relatives I don't help, and I pick myself out.

He took out the yellow talisman, read a few words silently, and raised his hand to send it out.

Chapter 658 Such a Good Thing

To change the past and reform the old, to eradicate the evils, Taoist monks do it regardless of the new year or the 15th day of the new year, and do it when the time comes.

He just sent a message to the head of the mountain, asking the head of the mountain to let go of his actions, taking advantage of the opportunity of the disciples to gather together, admonishing what should be warned, punishing what should be punished, and publicly admiring what should be praised. Don't need too many scruples.

After a long time, it is easy to cover up each other's troubles, so how can we practice with a peaceful heart?

In the future, he will have to spare time to occasionally tell short stories and great principles to the fourth batch of apprentices.

The old tradition of precepts and deeds cannot be lost.

Zhao Zhu'er, who was in a fluttering white dress, flew over from the treetops, threw a small wine jug to the temple master, and smiled happily: "Please drink from the shopkeeper, it's vegetarian wine."

Zhang Guanzhu picked up the spout of the pot and sniffed it. He did not drink the rough brewed rice wine. He threw a red paper bag to Zhao Zhu'er and said with a joke: "If you want to increase your salary, you should go to the head of the mountain. He is the big steward of our fairy temple. If you want rare and rare treasures, you must find Lu Zijin, you should call him twice more, "Senior Brother Lu, he doesn't even know his name."

"The treasures in Luzi's pocket, I coaxed into my hands yesterday several items, but the shopkeeper is not generous, he only gives a red envelope with one spirit stone, and the wine is returned to me."

Zhao Zhu'er was as light as a swallow, and stretched out her hand around the temple master to snatch the flagon she gave away, but the temple master dodged him repeatedly.

"One spirit stone can be exchanged for several large water tanks of such vegetarian wine, and you still earn money."

"Why do I feel so bad, at least I have to ask for a red envelope."

"Here you go."

Zhang Guanzhu threw out another red paper bag before dismissing his naughty Zhao Zhuer.

After laughing for a while, Zhao Zhuer flew to the northwest, and she wanted to go back to her hometown in Luoshahu Town, Guzhou.

All kinds of treasures, materials, crystals and other items stored in the treasure house of Xianling Temple, the temple master, guardian, Shanzhang, Yue Anyan, Zhao Zhuer and Lu Zijin all have the authority to choose and use, without too many restrictions.

Zhao Zhu'er takes out a large amount of spiritual energy stones and water crystals from the warehouse every year, and uses them to arrange formations to nourish her fifth-order slough, which ordinary small families really can't afford. Of course, when she advances to the Jindan realm At this time, the fifth-order slough will be able to display some of its strength.

Hu Qiang'er and Leng Xiang changed into new clothes, and the fans went up to the mountain to pay New Year's greetings.

Then Qian Jing, Zhang Xuandong, and Zhang Xuanyan came, and they all received a red envelope with a spiritual energy stone. The other disciples had offered vegetarian wine in the dining hall before, and it was considered New Year's greetings. It is not appropriate to go up the mountain in groups to disturb the peace of the temple master .

As for the dog boy named Zhang Xuan'an, he was born as a low-level gangster, and he is used to knowing the good and bad rules by looking at his face. He knows that he is not a relative of the temple master, and he will not go up the mountain indiscriminately if he is not summoned.

The little guy ate a black grape fruit given by Mr. Donkey yesterday, and had diarrhea a few times. From last night to now, his whole body is warm and comfortable, and he can't even wear a new cotton robe. He feels that he has endless strength , so I know that Lord Donkey didn't deceive him.

Another translucent fruit given by Xiaonier, he hid and ate it in a few days.

On the morning of the second day of junior high school, Yue Anyan, who had already returned to the village, was the first to say goodbye and leave. In the next few days, Xiao Ni'er, Lu Zijin, Yang Shuilan, and Lezi returned respectively, and made an appointment to go to the secret place of Bolan Lake to search for treasures.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the warm spring flowers are gradually blooming.

The apprentices returned to Qingzheng Bieyuan, and there were more children's voices and figures jumping up and down in the fairy temple.

Gou Wa formally follows the apprentices in class to read and learn scriptures. With so many playmates, he is like a fish in water. Except for obeying the instructions of the temple master and the head of the mountain, he cannot follow the practice of exercises for the time being, let alone learn by stealth. Other treatment is the same , There is also a small bowl of sweet and delicious Lingmi porridge to drink every three days.

The little guy is so happy that he doesn't have to be a beggar, and he often wakes up with a smile when he falls asleep.

With the increase of the second-order Youhua detoxification pills refined by the Danyitang, from the beginning of February, the head of the mountain has given the detoxification pills to the disciples who are stagnant in the gradual decline and the late stages according to the list of cultivation bases. Disciple guarding several shops.

Zhang Wenfeng dug out a few disciples and apprentices who were gifted in kendo, and asked the mountain chief to build the Jianping. He gave pointers every now and then, and occasionally gave a big lesson to the apprentices, imparting some principles of life and doing things other than cultivation.

Every time there is a big class, the third group of disciples flock to occupy the seats and listen to the master's teachings.

The first batch and the second batch of disciples all grew up listening to the master's lectures. Only the third batch of disciples, during their studies, the master went out of the world, and they completely missed the lectures of the master. Seniors often brag about all kinds of interesting and magical past events in class, can they not feel regretful?

Otherwise, I would be ashamed to say that I am a monk of Xianling Guan when I go out in the future.

Walking out of the newly built training hall after class, Guanzhu Zhang walked down the mountain.

Zhuang Yu walked towards him, bowed to the side, and handed Master a note with both hands.

"Wu Bingyuan, the suzerain of the Chongtian Palace, has advanced to the Golden Core Realm...One of the four old sects, Chongtian Palace has finally produced another Golden Core cultivator."

Zhang Wenfeng took the note, glanced at it, motioned Zhuang Yu to walk together, and said, "I remember that many of their monks have been walking away from the mortal path over the years."

"As of now, there are six people in the Chongtian Palace who have escaped the mortal path, and three of them have failed. It is difficult to advance to the sky. Except for Wu Zongzhu who succeeded, the other two are still on the way."

Zhuang Yu briefly stated that he has seen too many names that have escaped from the ordinary path and failed in retreat.

Every cold number represents the decline of a generation of masters.

"It's too impatient. In fact, they can take it easy. For the sake of the sect's fame, they go on and on. I don't know if it's worth it."

Zhang Wenfeng shook his head, went down the mountain and walked on the small road, with the green wheat fields rolling on both sides, and said, "I told you last time, I will follow me to practice in the secret realm in early June, and you should arrange the affairs at hand in advance."

He wants to take advantage of the forbidden law environment of Moling Secluded Realm, plus other conveniences, so as to cultivate a group of monks in the Free Realm.

"Master, don't worry, I have been settled safely."

Zhuang Yu smiled and transmitted voice: "Deacon Fan promised to act on my behalf temporarily during my retreat, receive messages from various places and reply, and report to the head of the mountain depending on the importance of the situation. The whole sect, only Deacon Fan has this experience in dealing with it, and I will temporarily hide a few key chess pieces, and I will not give it away with the whole board.”

Zhang Wenfeng nodded and said with a smile, "Go and do your work."

Sent Zhuang Yu away, he was walking by the stream, but he was thinking of the Bolan Lake thousands of miles away. "Secret Realm" to explore, but I don't know what's going on?

If there is no news tomorrow, he is going to ask the fun of staying outside.

Just as he was thinking, a ray of sword light escaped.

Reaching out to take a light blue flying sword, Zhang Wenfeng swept his consciousness away, and then his face showed joy.

Yang Shuilan sent a message to tell them that the three of them had explored the Zhenbo Secret Realm and cleaned up a remnant soul of a water demon hidden in the secret realm. , it is very helpful for second- and third-tier monks to improve their cultivation, and there will be no side effects of erysipelas, and there are some other natural materials and earthly treasures.

I also accidentally found a "Zengshou Fruit Tree". Currently, there are five Zenshou Fruits on the tree, which are the main medicine for refining Zenshou Pill, and it will take two years to mature.

Yang Shuilan gave the list of auxiliary medicines and asked the Xianlingguan shop to help collect them. She had to research and refine the longevity pills that ordinary people can take.

Such a good thing, Zhang Guanzhu is very happy.

Chapter 659

Zhang Wenfeng handed over the list of auxiliary medicines for refining Zenshou Pill to the head of the mountain, and briefly explained it to the head of the mountain.

The head of the mountain suddenly couldn't sit still, he rubbed his hands and walked around, said with a smile: "Although Xiao Ni'er is a little skinny, his luck is very good, Uncle Lame is a blessed man."
