Mist covers the mountains, and the breeze cannot disperse the smoke.
Chen Jingzhai fell down the cliff, her whole body was sore and numb, and her mind was vaguely drifting away.
When he woke up, Chen Jingzhai found himself lying in front of the mountain temple.
The temple was seriously damaged, with half of it collapsed and beams broken.
There are moss growing at the base of the wall, grass roots covering the courtyard wall, and horizontal slanting green tiles stained by rain and dew.
Chen Jingzhai stood up and found that his whole body was weak, his mind was blocked, and his five senses were chaotic.
It seems like I have returned to the time before I was twelve years old and before I practiced cultivation.
Is this the second test?
Chen Jingzhai thought silently as he walked into the ruined mountain temple.
In the temple, the statues of gods are intact, but they are very old and dusty.
Different from the imaginary statues of gods and Buddhas, this is a statue of a Taoist.
The cyan robe has wrinkles and patches.
White whisk with short handle and messy hair.
A medicine gourd and a sword hang from his waist.
Underfoot are straw sandals stepping on a divine turtle.
Chen Jingzhai recognized it at a glance. It was the image of Master Yaotian spread among the people.
In Pulao Kingdom, there are many cultivators who have shown their abilities.
Either for good deeds, for compassion, or for the original intention.
Just like the story of the sword fairy spreads,
Master Yaotian is also a famous Taoist practitioner.
Yaotianshi, whose real name is unknown, is a character from a story thousands of years ago.
In folk stories and legends, he practiced medicine to save the world, subdued demons and monsters, and protected the country.
He has boundless magical power, vast magical powers, and his compassion to save the world, and is deeply loved by the people.
Therefore, incense is everywhere, even in the deep mountains and old forests, and there is a temple for everyone.
Even now, although there are many fewer temples of Master Yaotian, they still exist.
I just didn't expect that the Medicine God Master would be enshrined here.
"Is this still the Luanyun Mountain Range?" Chen Jingzhai thought with a frown as he looked at the Taoist statue.
After wandering around the mountain temple for a while, Chen Jingzhai quickly calmed down.
He sat cross-legged on the ground, preparing to enter meditation and practice.
But at this moment, the sound of bells and the braying of a donkey came to my ears.
"Hey, are you the temple blessing of this ruined temple?" A clear voice came.
Chen Jingzhai looked up and saw a girl in a green gown, holding a branch in her hand and standing in front of the mountain temple, leading a black donkey.
He frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong.
"Are you mute?" the girl shouted unhappily.
"I am not a mute, nor am I a temple blessing," Chen Jingzhai came to his senses and said calmly, "Girl, if you find it convenient, you can do whatever you want, just don't disturb me."
After saying that, without waiting for the girl to speak, he closed his eyes again.
Why are there outsiders in the Luanyun Mountains? This second level must be an illusion.
Everything around him was unreal, including the girl and the black donkey opposite.
Everything is an illusion!
Chen Jingzhai was in a mess and warned herself secretly, but she couldn't enter samadhi no matter what.
Because the girl's pretty appearance entered into my heart.
This left him at a loss.
Throughout his two lives, Chen Jingzhai has always been calm, pursuing Taoism and cultivating wholeheartedly, just to climb to the top.
I have long seen through my partner's womanizing, and never thought that such a day would come to me.
The so-called love at first sight is just for beauty.
The so-called sight that lasts a thousand years is nothing but attraction.
But what's going on now? Why did this strange woman break into the Taoist heart?
"It turns out he is not a mute, and he is not a temple blessing. Come to think of it, how can there be a temple blessing in such a shabby mountain temple? Since he is a passerby, that's easy to explain!" The girl chuckled.
She tied the black donkey to the stone at the door, then gathered some dry firewood and came in.
Sit down under the intact wall and light the dry wood.
A warmth came from the flames. She sat next to the fire, dragging her chin and looking at Chen Jingzhai.
Yunxiao Palace.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion as they looked at the scene of gathering clouds and mist.
"The second question asked about the Tao in his heart." Elder Qin said, "Although everyone's Tao is different and their manifestations are different, this scene is the first time."
"It's rare." Another elder said with a smile, "Every time the disciples take the exam, the manifestations are the same. I have seen the same scene too many times. This time I saw something new."
"It's not as simple as freshness," Nascent Soul Lord, who was sitting next to Headmaster Fuyun, said, "Senior Brother Head, if I remember correctly, is this a relationship?"
"Love relationship?" All the elders, including Zhenren Lu, lost their voices.
The Luo Sheng Sword Sect is not ruthless and unsentimental. Even the sword immortals are of the same lineage.
Within the Immortal Sect, there are also monks who form Taoist couples and practice together.
But love relationship is an existence that makes people change their mood.
Love can be difficult to overcome, and one careless decision can lead to a love disaster. No one can predict what will happen in the end.
"Don't you recognize it?" Master Fuyun sighed softly, "The girl Chen Jingzhai met was Ren Mingyue, the second-generation founder on Hongluan Peak. This is her relationship."
"Master Mingyue?" The elders looked solemn.
"After Patriarch Luosheng, Patriarch Mingyue is the most outstanding, but he has been trapped in love for thousands of years, which eventually led to love catastrophe." Headmaster Fuyun's expression was complicated, "Patriarch Mingyue left the events of the past in the twenty-eight Taoist pass. I guess it is
In order to find an answer, I didn’t expect that there were almost no people who could trigger this relationship. Even for thousands of years, there was only one person, Chen Jingzhai.”
The Twenty-eight Taoist Passes are composed of Luo Shengzi scattered Taoist rhyme, which is the most wonderful and mysterious.
Within the Luo Sheng Sword Sect, basically everyone has gone through the Twenty-Eight Dao Pass.
Whether it is a new fairy seedling or an accomplished monk, they will go in many times.
Because these twenty-eight passages are not simply a place of testing, but a place of trial.
Just like the Yunhai Tianlu of Lingyun Immortal Sect, it is a place for heart refining and also a place for assessment.
To practice, you must first cultivate your heart. This is something that the authentic Taoist sect can never get rid of.
Therefore, the state of mind is extremely important to the Taoist Immortal Sect.
Over the past five thousand years, countless monks have entered the Twenty-Eight Taoist Pass.
I don’t know how many monks there are, how many Taoist charms and obsessions are scattered.
These Taoist rhymes and obsessions will become the nourishment for the twenty-eight Taoist passages.
Various scenarios are derived that make people trapped in them and unable to extricate themselves.
What Chen Jingzhai fell into was the relationship between Mingyue, the second generation founder of Hongluan Peak.
It was something that Patriarch Mingyue encountered when he went down the mountain to practice after he had successfully practiced and built the foundation.
It was also here that she met the one she loved, and she was in love with him for thousands of years.
"May I ask the master, is there any risk in Chen Jingzhai's love affair?" Master Lu asked.
"It's not that dangerous," Master Fuyun sighed, glanced at him and said, "It's just that if he can get through this, he will definitely be picked up by the people from Hongluan Peak, and it is impossible for him to become your disciple."
"What's the point of this?" There was a hint of anger in the cold words of Master Lu.
Logically speaking, Chen Jingzhai was his introduction.
Once Chen Jingzhai passes the test, he will be his disciple after passing the second test, and his junior brother after passing the third and fourth test. In short, Chen Jingzhai will enter his lineage.
Although the Luo Sheng Sword Sect has no clear rules, it has been done this way for thousands of years.
Why should we break the routine today? Master Lu was puzzled and rarely got angry.
"The matter involves old events," Headmaster Fuyun said calmly, "It is also the decree left by Patriarch Mingyue back then. It is recorded in the Headmaster's bill and cannot be violated!"
Lu Zhenren's mouth was slightly open, but he showed a bitter and helpless expression.
The record of the leader's act is equivalent to an ironclad fact that no one can change.
Not even Master Fuyun or the founder of retreat can do it.
