The three masters and apprentices were well prepared in the village, but headed towards Qiyang Mountain.

Xiang An, Yan Ming has only been to Xunyang City, which is dozens of miles away, in her whole life. This is the first time she has traveled such a long distance. Nothing she saw along the way was novel. It seemed like Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden.

Same. Yan Boping was not impatient. He just walked and walked like this. It was originally half a month's journey by carriage, but it took more than twenty days to reach the foot of Diyang Mountain.

"Master, what is the origin of Taiyi Gate? Why is this gate so huge? It is bigger than our city gate in Xunyang City!" Xiang An couldn't help but admired as he looked at the towering Taiyi Gate.

"Where did these country bumpkins come from? What town can compare with this one?" the Taiyi Sect disciple guarding the mountain said.

Xiang An's face turned red, "What's so great about Taiyi Sect? Go and tell Junior Brother Zhou Qi that his junior uncle is here to attend the appointment, and come down quickly to greet him."

The gatekeeper looked at the three masters and apprentices up and down. They all looked like bumpkins from the countryside. Except for one girl who had a pretty face, the other two looked like country bumpkins who usually accepted charity from the gate. "Senior Brother Zhou's uncle,

Isn't that the senior brother of the head of the clan? You country bumpkin, don't take advantage of me for fun. Where did the country bumpkin come from? How could Senior Brother Zhou have any senior uncle?"

When Yan Boping saw this, he took out one or two pieces of silver and said, "This little brother, please tell me that Yan Boping, a mountain Taoist, is here to attend the ancestor worship ceremony." After saying that, he stuffed the one or two pieces of silver into his pocket.

In the hands of the gatekeeper disciple.

The gatekeeper pinched the money tightly, raised his head and glanced at Yan Boping, "That's alright, I'll just make a trip."

"Master, they obviously invited us here, why do you still give that boy money!" Xiang An said angrily, "One tael of silver is enough to go to Blacksmith Zhang in Qiancun to buy a pair of nice earrings for my junior sister.

!”

"An'er, don't be impatient. From now on, we will settle down here in Taiyimen. You will also have to live in the world in the future. You have to remember that the King of Hell is easy to meet, but this kid is difficult to deal with," Yan Boping patted the ground.

He sat down cross-legged and said, "Just like this boy, although he is guarding the door and it is not important, if you argue with him, not only will you not be able to enter the mountain gate, but you will also cause unnecessary trouble."

"Hmm~" Xiang An nodded as if he didn't understand, "Master, can you tell me about Taiyi Sect?"

"Okay, by the way, our Taiyi Sect has developed to the point where it is the leader in the right path in the world. It is also the result of the hard work of several generations of ancestors." Yan Boping's expression was full of pride, "Let's just talk about the thousands of miles of Jiyang.

Mountains are the land of outstanding people and places. The south side of the mountain is rich in gold, while the north side of the mountain is rich in silver."

"Occupying such a wealthy place, no wonder the mountain gate is so big," Xiang An couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Our Taiyi sect has a long history, with documented evidence dating back more than three thousand years. Although the founder of our sect was originally a barbarian, he kindly rescued a spinning turtle when he was patrolling all the way to Jinyang Mountain. Unexpectedly, the spinning turtle

Because I was grateful to my ancestor, I carried him to a cave. There was a thousand-year-old white pole tree growing in the cave. There was a jade biscuit inside the cave, which contained a mysterious and true law. Although it was obscure and difficult to read, it could free people from the shackles of the five elements.

Flying with a sword, cutting mountains and splitting rocks, prolonging life and longevity, all the wonderful functions are indescribable."

"What happened later?" Yan Ming took off the kettle he carried with him, unscrewed it and handed it to Yan Boping.

Yan Boping took a sip of water and continued: "When the founder encountered this unexpected encounter, he practiced hard. When he was hungry, he ate the branches and leaves of the white pole, and when he was thirsty, he drank the juice of the white pole. After more than ten years, he achieved something.

Xiaocheng

, came up with the idea of ​​​​establishing a sect, and fought several rivers and lakes, but they completely occupied the Diyang Mountain, and became the leader of the party. Because the first two characters of the jade script recorded by the ancestor were Taiyi, so it was named

It is called Taiyi Sect, and the founder calls himself Taiyi Zhenren. Because the jade bi skill is very strange, there are many strong men who want to snatch it from Taiyi Sect, especially when the demon sect invaded Taiyi Sect more than a thousand years ago, and Taiyi Sect once

In a crisis, the jade cannot be saved."

"Ah? What happens next?" Yan Ming asked, still not finished.

"Later? Later, of course, they were resolved one by one by the ancestors of my Taiyi sect." At some point, Zhou Qi, dressed in a green Taoist robe, stood behind Yan Ming.

As a man with extraordinary bones, coupled with the nameless secrets on the jade, our Taiyi Sect has prospered since then. Today, it is listed as one of the five righteous sects in the world along with Jinyang Island, Moyu Mountain, Huayu Palace, and Ziwu Villa.

."

"Ah, Senior Brother Zhou, you are here." There was a hint of joy in Yan Ming's words.

"Master Yan," Zhou Qi said, cupping his hands to Yan Boping, "Master is already waiting for Master Yan in the main hall. Master was overjoyed when he heard Master Yan coming. He originally wanted to go down the mountain to greet him in person, but it happened that

Guests from the Amemiya are here and cannot escape, so I was asked to go down the mountain first to welcome my uncle into the mountain. Please forgive me."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Junior Brother is now the head of a sect, so it's normal for him to have to deal with trivial matters. When we return to Taiyi Sect, it can be considered as returning to our own home. Why should Junior Brother welcome us in person?" Yan Boping said generously.

"Then please invite Senior Uncle Yan, Senior Brother Xiang, and Junior Sister Yan to enter the mountain gate!" After saying that, he made an invitation gesture.

The group of people walked to the mountain gate. As soon as they entered the mountain gate, they heard the horn blasting, three long blasts and three short blasts. The blast suddenly sounded, which startled both Xiang An and Yan Ming. Yan Ming even grabbed Xiang An.

corner of the sleeve.

"Junior Sister Yan, don't be afraid. This horn is to welcome Senior Uncle Yan. These three blasts represent the elder's return to the mountain." Zhou Qi seemed to be very concerned about Yan Ming. "Master specially asked me to welcome Yan Ming according to the etiquette of an elder.

Master, please return to the mountain gate."

Yan Boping nodded. Although he did not speak, he was obviously very satisfied with this arrangement.

***

The group walked straight to the Datian Peak, the main peak of the Qiyang Mountains. After walking for a long time, they saw the end of the stone steps, which was a towering hexagonal palace with a door below. The door was several meters high.

Ten feet away, you can only see the door beam by looking up, and you can see a plaque hanging on the door beam.

"Junior Sister, what is written on this plaque?" Xiang An asked curiously.

"Hehe, senior brother usually asks you to read more words but you still don't know it. There's nothing you can do about it now," Yan Ming teased.

"Good junior sister, please tell me quickly," Xiang An scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.

"Brother, the big three characters above say "Welcome Hall", and the smaller line says "Taiyi Zhenren". Yan Ming read each word to Xiang An with his fingers.

"Oh, I don't know who is so good at building such a big house, and I don't know what kind of wood such a high door is made of." Xiang An exclaimed.

Zhou Qi turned a blind eye and obviously had no interest in answering Xiang An's questions. Perhaps he came and went a lot on weekdays and was not as fresh as Xiang An. Without raising his head, he led Yan Boping into the hall.

As soon as they stepped into the hall, Xiang An and Yan Ming held their breath at the same time, looking at everything in front of them in disbelief.

"The emperor's palace is nothing more than this," the two of them thought.

All praised.

This is a huge hall, with the back hall barely visible at a glance. The top of the hall is a caisson with a dragon holding beads, and the floor is paved with gold bricks. The light is diffused. A gilded copper octagonal incense burner is placed every few feet.

From time to time there is light smoke floating inside, which disperses with the breeze. The smell is light but fragrant.

In the hall, a burly old man of about fifty years old was mingling with the guests. Yan Boping took a few steps quickly, stepped forward and shouted, "Third Junior Brother, I'm coming!"

The old man was startled, as if he didn't recognize him. After a closer look, he rushed out with a smile on his face and hurried forward to greet him: "Elder brother, we haven't recognized him at first glance after seeing him for so many years!"

The senior brothers had a good time reminiscing about old times, and then they stopped.

"An'er, Ming'er, please come and see your Uncle Xu." Yan Boping waved his hand for the two of them to come forward, "This is my only daughter Ming'er."

"I've met Uncle Xu" Yan Ming said a blessing.

"Okay, okay, I didn't expect that my senior brother, whom I haven't seen for decades, would have such a well-educated daughter."

"This is my apprentice Xiang An."

"I've met Master Xu," he said to An, bowing.

Xu Shuping looked Xiang An up and down, "To be valued by Senior Brother Yan, Senior Nephew Xiang must be a good candidate for cultivation!"

"I'll tell you the truth," Yan Boping pointed at Xiang An and said, "My disciple is stupid and stupid. I only taught him a few sword moves."

"oh?"

"I came back this time to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony. Secondly, I also want my daughter and disciples to formally become our Taiyi sect's disciples and learn our Taiyi sect's exercises from scratch. Without the approval of you, the leader of Taiyi sect,

I don’t dare teach them Taiyi Sect’s cultivation methods.” Yan Boping said very formally.

"Senior brother, you are serious. If you and the second senior brother had not declined that day, how could the position of master be passed on to me? Senior brother is the eldest disciple of the master, so naturally he can teach and teach. This will also carry forward our Taiyi Sect.

Well!"

"No, no, no," Yan Boping waved his hands and said, "I have never offered incense to my ancestor, and I have never memorized the sect's rules. How can you teach me the Taiyi Sect method? Isn't this a violation of the rules? Please allow the master to agree to this matter."

, Yan Boping seemed to be in awe of the sect rules and even bowed to Xu Shuping.

"Senior Brother's words were serious. Xu Shuping hurriedly helped Yan Boping up. When the ancestor worship ceremony was about to begin, I arranged for my two nephews to worship at the mountain together with the people who were taking the exam.

Yan Boping waved his hand again and said, "How can you enter directly without passing the test? I also ask my junior brother to agree to open the Soul Exploration Hall again and let my daughter and disciple go for a test. If you are destined to be with me, Taiyi, you should worship me and enter the mountain gate."

If you don't have a chance, you can just do some chores at the foot of the mountain. When you are sincere and have a chance, it's not a bad idea to enter the mountain gate again."

"I didn't expect that after decades, senior brother's temper has not changed at all. So according to what senior brother said, I will ask Zhou Qi to take the two nephews to the Tanling Hall for a test later. In my opinion, the two nephews' temperament has not changed at all.

Gengu must be destined to be with me, Taiyi." Xu Shuping smiled and said, "Zhou Qi"

"Disciple is here" Zhou Qi bowed and said.

"You first take your uncle and your two nephews to settle down in Jiaoqing Pavilion at Xiaotianfeng. After settling in, you can take your two nephews to Tanling Hall for a test."
