In the underground road of Kuisu Dixing, a car was coming to Yeya Prefecture.
Inside the carriage, Bai Qingqing was sitting with several disciples who had arrived from Qingyang to the outer level.
Now his strength has not yet reached the third chapter. But this is normal. He is not yet thirty. For ordinary Xuanxiu, it is not bad to be able to jump to the second chapter before thirty.
Although this is still far behind those who are truly talented, for example, he once heard Xu Ying mention that Ji Ji, who walked out of Xuanfu, had entered Chapter 4 not long ago.
Of course, there is more than one example of such a talented person, just like the one he is going to meet now.
While he was thinking about it, a Qingyang Xuanfu disciple asked curiously: "Senior Brother Bai, I heard from those senior brothers that Senior Brother Bai used to practice Taoism with Zhang Xuan in the same place?"
Bai Qingqing hummed.
Another disciple came over and said ostentatiously: "Don't you know, this senior brother? In the past, when we were in the Dongting Xuan Mansion, Senior Brother Bai and Zhang Xuanzheng, um, Zhang Xuanzheng, were once known as "Double Shows".
"
"Senior Brother Bai is really amazing!" The disciple looked amazed.
Bai Qingqing coughed and said: "Don't say that, any talent starts from a humble beginning. Compared with Zhang Xunzheng's talent, I am far inferior."
To be honest, he had thoughts of comparison with Zhang Yu in the past, but as the gap between the two parties became wider and wider, he no longer had such thoughts and became much calmer.
Don't worry, everyone is looking at him to express their admiration for him, but in fact most of them are looking at Zhang Yu. He is just being involved, so what is there to be proud of?
After all, monks still need to practice their own cultivation as the foundation. If their own cultivation level is not improved, all these vanities will be of no use to them.
After driving smoothly for two days, the chariot stopped at Yeya Prefecture. After everyone left the station, they boarded the creation chariot and horses. A summer later, it stopped under a high platform and reported outside.
After that, they were invited in together.
The disciples waited in the hall for a while and then saw Zhang Yu walking in from the outside. They were either from Dongting or Qingyang, and they had all seen Zhang Yu in the past. They quickly stood up and saluted.
Zhang Yu nodded in return. He turned his eyes, fell on Bai Qingqing, and said hello: "Fellow Daoist Bai, I haven't seen you for several years. Are you okay?"
Bai Qingqing's mood was a little complicated at the moment, but he still stood up straight and replied: "Reporting to Xuan Zheng, you have been doing well recently. Senior Brother Xiang asked me to say hello to Xuan Zheng."
Bai Qingqing replied: "I already said it," he said seriously: "I am also willing to give it a try."
Zhang Yu looked at the disciples and said, "Where are you?"
The disciples also said: "We are also willing to give it a try."
Zhang Yu glanced at the sky and said with his head: "It's better to be late than early. The time is right now, so you can come with me. Whether you succeed or fail depends on your own luck."
He thought that it was appropriate to go to Xuanxing now. According to the records left by the Yue Taoists, once Youcheng set its sights on a target, it would never give up easily.
However, there is one characteristic of this generation, that is, they will not take action until they are not sure.
Therefore, after Yue Taoist failed this time, if he chooses to take action against him, he must be fully prepared. Now is the time to travel back and forth.
He called Li Qinghe to look after him for a few words, and then led everyone outside the stage. Then he raised his finger, and as a cloud of white air surged, the white boat appeared in the open space.
As the cabin door melted open, he took everyone aboard the boat. After a moment, the white boat took off into the sky and disappeared into the sky in an instant.
And not long after he left, the disciple Zuo Daoren sent to ask for help came over.
Li Qinghe greeted this disciple and said: "Your Majesty, you are a step late. I went out in a boat a moment ago, and I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up now."
The disciple said anxiously: "What can we do? The situation on the lower level is critical, and the enemy is very anxious to attack. My master said that there is a possibility of falling at any time."
The time at the upper level is not different from that at the lower level. One day here is almost ten days there. If he delays for a while longer, he may be trapped there.
Li Qinghe thought for a while, if the Wei Army was there, they could still draw manpower from there, but now the Wei Army also went on an expedition with the army and had not returned yet, but at this time he thought of someone who might be able to help.
He was busy, so he said: "Your Majesty, please wait a moment."
He went back and wrote a letter, then came out and handed it to the disciple, saying: "Your Majesty, please take this to Danshan Guesthouse and find the person mentioned in the letter. He will help you."
The disciple immediately bowed and said gratefully: "Thank you very much."
After exiting the stage, he hurriedly came to Danshan Guest House with the letter.
This guest house was specially set up for Taoist monks. It occupies a large area inside and embraces the beautiful peaks and lakes. It can be said that the scenery is breathtaking. Ignoring the evil outside of the void, it is almost suspicious that people are in the inner layer.
Following the instructions in the letter, he traveled for half a summer and finally came to a pavilion on the west side located under the mountain peak.
He gave his name to the butler. Not long after, a young man with short legs ran out, saluted him and said, "Who are you looking for, sir?"
He hurriedly responded with a courtesy, and then handed over the letter, saying: "I came here under the guidance of Mr. Qinghe, who is beside Zhang Xunguard, to find a Mr. Ying who lives here."
The young man took the letter, patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me." He took the letter and ran back.
The disciple waited outside for a while and suddenly felt something. When he looked up, he saw a young monk with a stern expression standing not far in front, his black blouse fluttering like fireworks.
When he looked at the other party's scarlet eyes, he couldn't help but feel frightened, and he couldn't help but take a step back. But then he thought of something, calmed down, and tried to ask: "Is it Mr. Ying?"
Ying Zhuan said: "You don't have enough manpower?"
The disciple said: "Yes."
Ying Zhuan said calmly: "Okay, I'll go with you."
After Bai Zhou left Kui's host star, he traveled through the void for three days and then arrived on Xuanxing. After breaking through the atmosphere, he landed steadily on the observatory in the extreme south.
After Bai Qingqing walked out of the cabin, he glanced above. The sky was very dim at the moment, blue-gray clouds were gathering in the sky, and only a little light penetrated through the thin gaps.
At this time, a steward came out to greet Zhang Yu, bowed to Zhang Yu, and said, "I have seen Zhang Xunhu."
Zhang Yudao: "Is Fellow Daoist Hu here?"
The steward said: "Yes, Sir, I have told you that if Patrol Guard Zhang comes, please go and meet him immediately. Patrol Guard, please come down with him."
Zhang Yu nodded and led Bai Qingqing and others into the main stage. After walking for a short while, they came to the top of the top observatory.
Taoist Hu was dressed in a gray preaching robe, with his face covered by his hair and beard. His skinny figure was sitting on the same spot as a withered tree stump. When he saw Zhang Yu, he raised his hand and saluted, saying: "Guard Zhang, you're polite, please sit down."
Zhang Yu walked over, sat down in front of him, exchanged a few words with him, and said: "I brought a few disciples here this time, and they voluntarily came to Daoist Hu's seat to have a try."
Hu Daoren looked at the few people with his eyes covered by his hair and beard, and said, "Then let's come one by one."
Several disciples showed humility to each other, and a handsome young man stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Disciple Xu Shaoan, I have met the master."
The Hu Taoist said: "Come closer."
Xu Shaoan walked to the front, feeling slightly uneasy.
Hu Daoren looked at him for a moment, as if he was judging something. After a while, he took out a piece of bone armor from his sleeve and said, "Look, what are the words on it?"
Xu Shaoan looked down and saw that the nail plate was smooth and had no words on it. He was a little confused and said hesitantly: "Here, there are no words on it."
"Um?"
Hu Daoren stared at him closely and said in a deep voice: "Take another look."
Xu Shaoan was slightly panicked. He took another look and said, "This, this, this disciple is stupid and has never seen anything from it."
Hu Daoren nodded and asked slowly: "Are you willing to worship me as your teacher and endure dozens or hundreds of years of loneliness?"
Xu Shaoan was startled for a moment, then he became ecstatic, nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes, my disciple Xu Shaoan, I would like to worship the Venerable as my teacher!" As he spoke, he leaned over and bowed to the seat.
If a true cultivator accepts a disciple, he or she must kneel down and worship. Master and disciple are like father and son, and there is also a set of complicated etiquette. However, Xuanxiu cultivator does not pay attention to these. It only needs to determine the master and disciple titles on the roster.
.
Hu Daoren said: "Okay, very good."
He really didn't expect that he would find the talent he needed right away, and the key was that this person was willing to stay and become a disciple.
It was not that he had never found disciples who were compatible with him in the past, but once he heard that he was going to sit here and watch for tens or hundreds of years, he backed down again. And those who were willing to join his disciples were not compatible with him, and now they are not compatible with him.
Now I finally found one I like.
He was also very happy at this moment. He saluted Zhang Yu solemnly and said, "Thank you very much, Zhang Xungui."
When Bai Qingqing and others saw this scene, they were both happy and disappointed, because this was a serious apprenticeship. This Taoist Hu was one of the few Xuanxiu disciples who had a master's biography, and he also had a title recognized by the military department.
If you can worship under his sect, you will not only be able to pass on the skills, but you will also be able to inherit this reputation.
This is still very attractive to monks like them who think that it is difficult to climb to the upper realm. As for enduring loneliness, that is a trivial matter.
Zhang Yu asked at this time: "Does Fellow Daoist Hu accept only one disciple?"
Hu Daoren said: "Of course that is not true, but in the past few people were willing to worship under my sect, and the old Taoists did not dare to expect too much."
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "In this case, why not give the remaining disciples another chance?"
Hu Daoren was slightly startled. Although he didn't think there was anyone else with this predestined relationship, he still had to give him face, so he said, "That's fine."
