Conferred Gods: Master Tongtian is my master

Deep in Meishan Mountain.

A breeze blew, the leaves rustled, and the birds in the forest sang happily, creating a quiet and peaceful atmosphere between the two.

All living things, deep in this forest, display the diversity and wonder of life in their own unique way.

Whether running, jumping, or flying, each one shows the vitality of life.

Suddenly, a nimble white figure broke the picturesque scene.

The nimble figure shuttled through the mountains and forests like a flash of lightning, with coordinated and graceful movements.

Every time it leaps onto a treetop, it can grab the branch firmly and then swing lightly to the next target.

When it stops and its figure appears, you will find that it is an ape with white hair.

The white ape's eyes were like bright stars, sparkling with wisdom, as if it could see through everything in the world, revealing an unfathomable wisdom.

The white ape fell from the tree to the ground, and with the magical power fluctuating around his body, he turned into a handsome man wearing a jade crown, a silver brocade robe, and a gold and jade belt around his waist.

This person is none other than the most powerful of the Seven Monsters of Meishan, the long-armed ape—Yuan Hong.

He simply adjusted his clothes with his hands and walked towards a noisy place.

After a while, they came among a group of monsters speaking human language.

"Hey, big brother is back." A pig demon looked around with his eyes rolling around and was the first to discover Yuan Hong's figure.

(It is reported that the "dog spirit" Dai Li is the leader of the Seven Monsters of Meishan. There is no clear order for Yuan Hong and the other five monsters. Here the editor ranks them by himself: the eldest: "White Ape" Yuan Hong, the second: "Dog Spirit" Dai Li, the third: "Bull Spirit" Jin Dasheng, the fourth: "Pig Spirit" Zhu Zizhen, the fifth: "Centipede Spirit" Wu Long, the sixth: "Snake Spirit" Chang Hao, the seventh: "Sheep Spirit" Yang Xian.)

"Brother, thank you for your hard work patrolling the mountains!"

"Hello, big brother!"

"Brother, have a safe trip!"

……

This group of monsters must be the other six monsters from Meishan. When they saw Yuan Hong coming back, they greeted him one by one.

"My dear brothers, everything is fine. This patrol of the mountain is just like the previous ones, nothing happened."

After saying that, he sat on a stone chair.

The six monsters circulated their spiritual power, transformed into human forms, and sat around Yuan Hong.

While chatting and laughing, they talked about their recent cultivation.

Among the Seven Monsters of Meishan, except Yuan Hong who accidentally obtained an incomplete version of the Eight-Nine Profound Art, the other six monsters all have innate magical powers.

None of them had any master to learn any skills from, so the seven monsters could only get together to exchange experiences and improve their skills.

……

Here, Luo Shu came to the depths of Meishan Mountain and sensed the auras of seven different cultivations. He thought to himself:

"These seven auras are undoubtedly the Seven Monsters of Meishan. The one with the strongest aura should be the long-armed ape Yuan Hong."

"I didn't expect that his cultivation has reached the late stage of Xuanxian. He is indeed the reincarnation of one quarter of the Chaos Demon Ape's essence."

"The cultivation of the other six monsters is also pretty good, and they are all at the peak of the True Immortal stage. If the Meishan Seven Monsters had not accepted the invitation to come down the mountain to help the merchants, practicing in this mountain surrounded by spiritual energy would be like being in a paradise."

Luo Shu felt sorry for the plight of the Seven Monsters of Meishan. Although they did not have a great master as their teacher and had no famous teacher to guide them, and their cultivation level increased slowly, they were happy and free.

Luo Shu pondered the reasons why the Seven Monsters of Meishan went down the mountain, and concluded that it must be related to Yuan Hong. The other six monsters followed Yuan Hong down the mountain out of brotherhood.

Yuan Hong is a macaque with a ferocious nature. He is unwilling to be bound by rules and likes murderous aura by nature. The reason why he went down the mountain to assist King Zhou was also for his own practice.

When King Wu conquered King Zhou, there was endless killing throughout the world. This might be a disaster for others, but for Yuan Hong, it was a perfect place to improve his cultivation.

Then, you may ask, if that’s the case, why not help Xiqi?

Let's analyze, what is behind Xiqi? It is the Chan Sect!

The people of the Chan sect are influenced by Yuanshi Tianzun and like those who practice Taoism and have great fortune and luck. They look down on the demons and describe those who are demons as "people with fur and horns, born from eggs in moisture".

You said that if Yuan Hong took the Seven Monsters with him to seek refuge, not only would he not be accepted, he might also lose his life.

That's why he surrendered to King Zhou. As expected, when King Zhou was short of generals, he saw Yuan Hong, who had a strong cultivation base, and naturally entrusted him with important tasks and appointed him as the marshal and commander-in-chief.

Furthermore, if you really lose, it doesn’t matter. You can escape back to Meishan and continue your practice.

It’s just that imagination is beautiful and reality is cruel. Before King Zhou’s kingdom fell, the Seven Monsters died and were listed in the Investiture of the Gods.

Since Luo Shu had already arrived at the lair of the Seven Monsters, he found a random stone and sat cross-legged.

He spread out his aura, and the spiritual energy around him dispersed towards the outside like ripples.

At this time, the Seven Freaks of Meishan were still chatting and laughing, and they were having a great time.

Just as Yuan Hong was speaking incessantly, he suddenly felt a strange breath, and the spiritual power emitted by this breath was definitely superior to his own.

So, Yuan Hong stopped discussing with everyone, looked at his younger brothers, and said bluntly:

"Someone is coming, my dear brothers, follow me to take a look."

"Brother, how is this person's cultivation?" asked his sixth brother Chang Hao beside him.

Yuan Hong's face was serious and he said calmly:

"The person who came here has a higher level of cultivation than me, and I don't know his intentions, so you must not offend him later."

After hearing this, all the younger brothers bowed hurriedly to show that they would follow their eldest brother's instructions.

After saying that, Yuan Hong led his brothers to the direction where Luo Shu was.

……

Luo Shu waited for a while and then heard some noise coming from not far away.

At this time, Yuan Hong had already brought his younger brothers to Luo Shu.

Yuan Hong looked at Luo Shu, who was fresh, refined and had extraordinary demeanor, and said that he could not see through him.

He stepped forward, bowed, and said respectfully:

"I wonder what the leader is? Why did you come to the place where my brothers practice?"

When Luo Shu heard Yuan Hong's question, he was not in a hurry. He slowly stood up and said:

"I am Luo Shu, a disciple of Master Tong Tian, and I came here to find my destined disciple."

When Yuan Hong heard that Luo Shu was the third-generation disciple of Jiejiao, he became more respectful and bowed again:

"So the Taoist priest is the grandson of the saint. I am sorry for my rudeness."

"That's not necessary. We, the Jiejiao people, don't mind such trivial matters."

"I wonder where the destined person you mentioned is? Do you need us to help you find him?"

Luo Shu looked at Yuan Hong in front of him and smiled slightly, "My destined disciple is far away in the sky, but he is right in front of me."

When Yuan Hong heard that the person Luo Shu was looking for was him, he showed a look of surprise on his face and said happily:

"Can what the Taoist priest said be true?"

As for why Yuan Hong was so excited, there was a reason.

Not to mention that Jiejiao now has tens of thousands of disciples and tens of thousands of immortals coming to pay homage, with an overwhelming momentum.

Take Luo Shu’s background for example. His master is the Golden Spirit Holy Mother, and his grandmaster is the Sage Tongtian. Even if Yuan Hong was cut off from the news, he knew who these two people were.

I won’t say much about Tongtian Saint, one of the Six Saints.

Take the Golden Spirit Mother for example. She is a quasi-saint, the eldest sister of the Jiejiao sect, and she is in charge of the female fairies of the Jiejiao sect. She has extraordinary strength.

In addition, Luo Shu's strength is obviously superior to his own. It is not a loss at all to take such a person as a teacher, and there are many benefits.

"What I said must be true. I wonder if you are willing to take me as your master?"

"Yes, disciple is willing. Disciple greets Master."

Yuan Hong danced with excitement, then quickly knelt on the ground and paid homage to his master.

Just when Yuan Hong became his disciple, Luo Shu clearly felt that his destiny was connected with Yuan Hong's.

In the ancient times, the causal relationship between master and disciple was extremely important. Their fates were connected, and they shared honor and disgrace. The disciple was the key to inheriting the Taoist tradition.

[Ding! The host has completed the task of recruiting a disciple, the system has completed the appraisal, and the reward has been sent to the system space. ]

When Luo Shu heard the system's prompt sound, his mind moved. He saw the Nine Revolutions Profound Art floating in the system space and thought about passing it to Yuan Hong so that he could practice it.

"My disciple, I have no other disciples. From today on, you will be my chief disciple, and my fourth-generation disciple of Jiejiao."

Hearing this, Yuan Hong bowed again.

"My disciple, in this case, I have a few words to tell you in advance, so please listen carefully!"

"Master, please speak!" Yuan Hong answered seriously and respectfully.

Luo Shu continued:

"First, respect your teacher and never betray your teacher. Second, do not bully the weak and bring disgrace to your school. Third, do not be arrogant and self-centered. Fourth... there is nothing else for now."

"My disciple, remember these three rules. If you violate them, I will punish you severely."

After hearing the rules set by the master, Yuan Hong said seriously:

"Disciple will remember Master's teachings. If I break any of the rules, I will take the initiative to ask for punishment."

"Well, very good." Luo Shu nodded with satisfaction.

"Disciple, stop kneeling and stand up."

"Yes, Master." Yuan Hong stood up from the ground.
