After making some preparations, Wu Jie left Qingyang Mountain.
However, he did not go directly to the active volcano in the southwest mountains. Instead, he went to meet several of his disciples first.
Qiao Feng and Lin Xiao still live in Dayue Kingdom, Lin Xiao lives in Changning City, the capital of the country, and Qiao Feng lives in Anfeng County, the capital of Zhaoyang County.
"The disciple has been looking forward to the day when the mountain gate opens, how could he forget it!" When Wu Jie reminded him, Lin Xiao said with a smile, "But... as a half-demon, will the disciple be in trouble?"
"We at Qingyang Temple don't care whether our disciples are humans or demons." Wu Jie thought for a while and added, "Although there are no demons among the ancestors, there are many demons among the elders, and there is no sense of discrimination at all.
."
"In fact, demon clan disciples are very valuable to a sect. The demon clan's lifespan is long. Once they become successful in cultivation, they can often become the backbone of the sect and protect the sect for hundreds or even thousands of years.
There is such an elder in our sect, and he has been the leader for more than ten generations."
"I'm afraid I won't live that long."
"Haha, I gave this example just to let you not worry." Wu Jie said with a smile, "Besides...your master and I still have a little status in our sect. As long as you don't cause trouble, you should be fine."
."
"By the way, I heard you say before that there are only five generations of disciples in our sect at the same time. Now that the Supreme Elder generation has not all passed away, if the disciples start now, how should their seniority be calculated?"
Wu Jie was stunned and couldn't help scratching his head.
This problem does seem to be a bit troublesome...
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." When he and Qiao Feng mentioned this issue, Qiao Daxia, who was already famous in the southeast, said with a smile, "At worst, we will be outer disciples first, and wait for the 28th generation.
I think it won’t be long before I can become a formal inner disciple. By then, it seems that I can still be a 28th generation senior brother..."
"The generation of our sect lasts only a hundred years at the fastest time, and nearly 500 years at the slow time - by the way, if we include the period between the 13th and 14th generation,
The longest period was more than six thousand years."
Qiao Feng was stunned immediately, and the smile on his face turned into a bitter smile.
"One hundred years is fine, five hundred years...I'm afraid I won't live that long..."
He said it sincerely, monks are not immortal monsters. Although Wu Jie did not hide anything when teaching his disciples and did his best, Qiao Feng asked himself and never thought that he could reach the legendary realm of returning elixirs.
The Yuan realm is not very sure, and the Ning Yuan monks can only live for six to seven hundred years at most, and the Lian Gang monks can only live for four or five hundred years.
If we have to wait five hundred years, not even the Ning Yuan monks can say that they can definitely wait, let alone the Lian Gang monks.
"I won't let you wait for so long." Wu Jie still knew something about the situation of the Supreme Patriarchs of our sect. "According to the rules of our sect, no matter how old the demon clan elders are, as long as they do not live in seclusion, they can only live in seclusion at most.
Can be regarded as the master's peers; hidden
If they live there, they will be counted as the Supreme Elder generation at most, and they will be classified into the original generation only after death. The current two Supreme Elders of our sect, one is a demon race, let’s not worry about it for the time being; the other is a human race
, has lived for more than a thousand years, and his life span is about to end."
"Thank God!" Qiao Feng breathed a sigh of relief, but soon realized that what he said seemed inappropriate, and he immediately blushed.
An old general in our department is about to pass away. How can this be considered a good thing?
Wu Jie didn't care at all. He smiled and patted his apprentice on the shoulder, telling him not to worry.
Qiao Feng spoke the truth, there was nothing wrong with it - as long as he didn't say it in front of the Supreme Elder who was about to pass away.
After meeting his two direct disciples, he went to Daxue Mountain again, but this time he did not meet Li Xiao.
Li Xiao used his own skills to leave a message in that simple cave, saying that he met his companions from the owl beast clan and learned that the old king of the owl beast clan was old and was selecting a new king, so he rushed to join in the fun.
.
"There have never been many people in our clan who are at a high level, and the old king was only in the late stage of refining the power. I am also at the level of refining the power, so I might be able to compete... Well, that's what I think." In the picture reflected in the crystal,
change
Li Xiao, who was in human form, smiled honestly, but he couldn't hide the fierceness coming from the bottom of his heart, "The place where the king is chosen is a forbidden area for our clan, isolated from the outside world. Uncle Master, please leave a message if you have anything to do. I guess
You can come back in two years."
So Wu Jie left a letter, wishing him to become the king of the owl beast clan, and also told him that Qingyang Temple will open its gates in ten years, and he can come.
Wu Jie has already reported the situation of several disciples to the sect, and has also obtained the approval of the real master. As long as Li Xiao can participate in the selection of disciples in time, he can at least get an outer sect status, and he will be able to travel around the world in the future.
The people of the organization.
"Meows also want to participate?" Xiao Chai's long tail drew a question mark in the air, and he looked at Wu Jie doubtfully, "Meows are monsters..."
"Monsters don't matter, we don't discriminate against monsters."
"But I think... we are living a good life in Sichen Town..." Xing Xing said hesitantly, "No one cares about us here. We can eat when we want, sleep when we want, and eat fish whenever we want.
No less, I sleep until I wake up naturally and live a very happy life. If I go to Qingyang Mountain, can I still live such a comfortable life?"
Fifty years is a long time for a human being, and it is not short for a little monster with low cultivation level. Although Xiao Chai is still the same gray kitten that is less than a foot long and less than a punch tall, but
Xingren has grown up a bit - this does not mean that she is taller, but that she has become more mature.
Now, she will definitely not steal money to buy a lot of fish like she did in the past, only to have it rotten even though she couldn't eat it all, making her boarding house stinkier than a latrine.
Today's Mingjiao is already a well-known sect in the southeast. Although they are not small in power, they are very modest in their actions and have always followed the rules set by Wu Jie. They are a well-known decent sect in the martial arts world.
Those young men in the southeast area who dream of becoming martial arts masters and performing chivalrous acts in the arena often travel thousands of miles to Sichen Town to join the Mingjiao. And after they succeed in their studies, they will add glory to the Mingjiao... Over time,
A virtuous cycle is formed.
The seat of the leader of the Ming Cult is still vacant. There are rumors in the world that this seat is actually used to commemorate the Holy Goddess who founded the Ming Cult. The Presbyterian Council composed of several elders is the ruling core of this sect.
There are currently seven elders in Mingjiao. After excluding Wu Jie, the great elder who has never been seen before, and Xing Xing and Xiao Chai, who are monsters and should not be exposed to the public, the remaining four elders are all innate masters.
Wu Jie naturally also met with the four elders. Lu Wei entered the innate realm with the help of Wu Jie, and Du Leisi had received guidance from Wu Jie. Both of them treated him as a disciple.
The other two elders are Ma Lu who comes from the northern desert and Fang Xing who is a businessman. These two elders have never met Wu Jie, but they have heard a lot about Wu Jie from others.
He was quite curious.
"The Great Elder is really unfathomable! Even though he is right in front of me, I feel that he seems to have an ethereal meaning, as if he will fly into the sky at any time!"
"Yes! Fifty years ago, he was able to control the vitality of heaven and earth and help Elder Lu break through the barriers... I don't know what state he has reached now. I'm afraid he is already a first-rate land god!"
When Wu Jie left, he heard the two of them talking about things related to him from a distance.
This trip to Sichen Town did not go smoothly. In the end, Xingxing was still not ready to go to Qingyang Mountain. Of course, Xiaochai listened to Xingxing...
Wu Jie just sighed slightly, put the matter aside, and went to Yunmengze to see Ao Qi again.
Many years ago, Ao Qi said that he wanted to worship Qingyang Temple, but his thoughts have not changed now.
Wu Jie encouraged him with a few words, then said goodbye and set off. He returned to Changning City and met Xiao Buyi who had just come out of seclusion.
When he came last time, Xiao Buyi was in seclusion, thinking about how to revitalize the Chu Kingdom. Although he has come out of seclusion now, there is no joy on his face, so he probably has gained nothing.
Since the new king came to the throne, the power of the Chu Kingdom has begun to slowly decline. This is partly due to drought, and partly because the national destiny is slowly declining.
In the battle for the stars, countless sacrifices were made in exchange for a drizzle that lasted for several months, which greatly alleviated the drought. It also gave many people who were already in desperate situations a precious respite, so that they would not be trapped.
And die.
Perhaps it was God's will, but since then, the drought situation has gradually weakened. Now, although there is still a lack of rain in various places, it is no longer as dry as it was on the eve of the Star Reaching War.
At the very least...the kind of cactus cultivated by Wu Jie can still grow smoothly.
Relying on these bitter-tasting cacti, the people of Kyushu struggled to make a living in the year of severe drought. Decades of drought have left the earth covered with scar-like cracks, and many younger people have not even seen them.
The land was lush and green before the drought.
This is a sad era, but it is also an era where there is still hope.
According to Xiao Buyi's calculation, the drought will continue for more than ten years. But the drought will gradually weaken until it disappears completely.
"This catastrophe that should have destroyed all lives seems to have been over." Xiao Buyi said and bowed his hands to Wu Jie as a gift. "My fellow Taoist has great righteousness and saved the people from danger. Your merits are truly immeasurable!"
Wu Jie couldn't help but blush, and shook his head with a smile: "This is not my credit, it is the credit of those people who worked hard to fight the drought. I just planted something and played a side role in the battle for the stars. How dare you
Coveting the merits of heaven for oneself...
The two had a long talk, and naturally they also mentioned the fact that Qingyang Temple would open its gates in ten years.
"I remember when we were preparing for Operation Star Reaching, all the sects made an oath, willing to restrain the development of the sects in the next hundred years and leave enough resources for the small sects... It has only been ten years now. It is appropriate for you to open the gates.
?”
"I'm not very sure either... But judging from the real intention of the master, he is probably too embarrassed to really open the gate. He probably just wants us to find some qualified people and barely make up a batch of disciples, and then we're done.
Come on." Wu Jie said and couldn't help but laugh, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, haven't you always envied the benefits of our famous sect? Why not take this opportunity to join Qingyang Temple, even if you are a nominal guardian."
Xiao Buyi was stunned, closed his eyes and calculated, but still shook his head and refused.
"I am born with poor fortune. If I join Qingyang Temple, although I can gain the luck of your sect to enhance my own luck, I will inevitably be involved in your grudges. With my ability and luck, if I am involved in such a thing, I am afraid that my life will be ruined.
In just a few days."
The matter was abandoned like this, but Wu Jie went to the Dachu Palace on Xiao Buyi's suggestion and met with His Majesty the Emperor of Dachu who had received the martial arts lamp from him.
Because of daily hard work, the emperor looked older than his actual age. He seemed very happy for Ji Shihou's visit. When he heard that the Qingyang Sect would recruit disciples ten years later, he said that he would do so at that time.
I asked my third son, Xiong Jiong, to sign up and give it a try.
Xiong Jiong is seven years old this year. He has a somewhat dull and introverted personality, but he has a gentle temperament and good character. This child is not a person who can successfully inherit the throne. Rather than letting him be a prince who is feared by his brothers, it is better to let him go to the fairy mountain to seek enlightenment. Even if
It would be better to die in the mountains without success in the end, than to stay in the capital and be treated as a thorn in the side of the new emperor.
Wu Jie secretly paid a visit to Xiong Jiong. This child was much more mature than his peers and seemed to always be unhappy. But he did have a gentle personality, was kind to others, and had a good reputation among his servants.
Wu Jie secretly observed it for a few days and nodded secretly.
