Chapter 143 Apprentice, do you want to be the first apprentice to play?
When Zhang Ziyu saw his master, he felt something was wrong at first sight. His pajamas had been worn all year round, and his stingy eyes and robes were actually replaced by brand new robes. He was full of energy, and it seemed that he even trimmed his beard and hair.
"Brat, what's your look?"
"Master, is there a celebration when we go back to Maoshan this time?"
"No, just a normal trip back."
Taoist priest Simu arranged his clothes, patted the dust on his sleeves, and said naturally.
"Does it need to be so formal?"
Simu raised his brows and glared at him: "What does it mean to be solemn? I, Simu, take my disciples back to the sect and teach the core disciples. What's wrong with changing into a new one?"
Yes, Zhang Ziyu seems to understand. He wants to show off, right?
People say: Junior Brother Simu, long time no see.
My own master can definitely reply: Hey, how do you know that my apprentice has mastered the eighth level of Qi in dual cultivation of law and body.
Well, this is still a situation where my master's information is lagging behind. If he knew that he was building a foundation now, would his master be dissatisfied in front of his master?
"Pa"
Zhang Ziyu was wandering in the sky, Taoist Master Four Eyes slapped him on the shoulder, and said: "What do you want, brat? We will go back in two days."
It's not easy to travel these days, especially since Maoshan is on the Jurong side. It's not yet a scenic spot, so it's not that convenient to get into the mountain.
When two people go there, they will inevitably have to hurry and cannot find a car or horses, so 80% of them will have to walk.
"Master, please stay at least a day or two to talk to your uncle and have a meal together."
Si Mu thought about it for a while, and the senior brother helped occupy the table. It doesn't make sense to come and visit him, so he nodded and said: "Okay, I will do as you said, and don't make too many dishes to make Ronger tired. Let the two
Please help me, kid."
Simu said this to Huang Rong who was standing next to him. He was kind-hearted and treated differently.
Zhang Ziyu rolled his eyes, while Huang Rong's eyebrows turned into crescent moons and she said, "It's not hard work."
The meal was still eaten, but after the meal, Daoist Four Eyes and Uncle Jiu Gugu didn't know what they were discussing. Zhang Ziyu felt a little strange. He always felt that going to Maoshan this time was not easy.
Early the next morning, the master and apprentice packed their things and prepared to hit the road.
Arriving at the door of the farm, Taoist Master Four Eyes picked his teeth, glanced left and right, and asked, "Ziyu, where is the horse?"
The disciple is a rich man, so I can rest assured that I should be prepared when traveling. However, I didn’t even see a horse. Do I want to take a car or catch a train in the provincial capital?
"Master, what kind of horse are you riding on? Let's do something exciting."
Zhang Ziyu said, and with a wave of his hand, the Husky-sized Taotie King was thrown out by him and appeared in front of the two of them.
"roar!"
There was a roar, neither too loud nor too small, almost like that of a dog.
"Hate, you get a dog...wait, what are you doing?"
The Taoist Priest with Four Eyes thought it was a dog, but when he took a closer look, he was startled. He saw that the head had horns and the eyes under the armpits were ferocious. Is this a monster?
"Get bigger."
Zhang Ziyu released the restriction, and in an instant the Taotie King's figure skyrocketed, reaching three meters in height and seven meters in length. It was not a complete body, but it was terrifying enough.
Taoist Priest Simu's eyes widened, wondering what the hell the Infinite Heavenly Lord's own apprentice had done now.
"Some time ago, I accidentally subdued a demonic beast with Taotie bloodline. Master, let's take this ride to Maoshan. It's quite exciting."
Zhang Ziyu didn't have the shame to call him the Taotie King. After all, his character was really unlikeable, so he had no choice but to talk about a monster with the Taotie bloodline.
"That's enough. He is definitely the most popular kid."
The four-eyed Taoist Priest had no time to pay attention to his apprentice. The Taotie King became even more handsome as he grew older. He patted it with his hands. The skin was tough and it was not an illusion. It gave him a sense of threat, and it was not fake.
"You kid..."
Taoist Master Four Eyes took a deep look at his apprentice. He couldn't see through it. He really couldn't see through it. He could encounter and subdue these things. Could this kid be cheating?
The cheating in Taoist Priest Four's mind is not a game cheat, but the kind of reincarnation of a powerful person and the re-cultivation of an immortal.
Although rare, it is not impossible.
"Master, don't look at me like that, I'm sorry."
"Haha, you are thicker-skinned than me, so I would be embarrassed."
Without looking deeply, the two of them climbed on the back of King Taotie, and then directly ordered King Taotie to rush towards Maoshan.
Because their mount was the Taotie King, the two of them did not take the main road, but drove directly through the mountain paths. Anyway, for the Taotie King, these roads were like walking on flat ground and there was no difficulty.
Without passers-by, their speed was actually faster.
While the two were on their way, Zhang Ziyu also wanted to know what happened on Maoshan Mountain, so he asked: "Master, it is said that our disciples in Maoshan Mountain were appointed by themselves. There is no such thing as a sect competition."
?”
It stands to reason that for a sect with extraordinary power like the Maoshan Sect, various competitions and school examinations should be indispensable.
Hearing this with four eyes, he shook his head and said: "That's not true. The Maoshan Grand Ceremony is held every three years. If there are no special circumstances, the core disciples who are traveling outside at that time will basically return to Maoshan to participate in the worship. At the same time, they will also be named and awarded at that time.
Lu. The sect competitions you mentioned were still there at that time."
"Master, please explain in detail."
"How do you think the first disciple of Maoshan came to be? One is to be stronger than the disciples of his generation, and the other is to convince the crowd and be welcomed by everyone, rather than being alienated. Participating in the competition is actually the best way to show your strength, to be better than your peers.
Opportunity. At that time, our senior brothers Shi Jian and Senior Brother Lin were the best of our generation."
He paused and glanced at his apprentice. Originally, the grievances of the previous generation should not be discussed with the next generation, but he had high expectations for Zhang Ziyu, and it was okay to tell him some things.
"My senior brother has the highest talent, surpassing all his peers, and your senior uncle Lin is no match for him. But your senior uncle's temperament is not as good as yours, senior uncle Lin. Many senior brothers are not convinced by him."
At this point, Taoist Master Simu did not go any further. One had strong martial arts, the other was popular, and Shi Jian was a petty person, so the relationship between the two became increasingly tense.
Zhang Ziyu nodded thoughtfully and asked, "What about now?"
"Nowadays, spiritual energy is getting less and less, and practice is getting harder and harder. Everyone of your generation is practicing qi, and there are not too many at the fifth and sixth levels. Looking at your competition, are you novices pecking each other?"
If your cultivation level is low and it turns into boxing and kicking skills, then what's the point of competing?
Taoist Priest Four Eyes said: "Although there is no big competition now, the method of examination has also changed. The elders will let people test your cultivation."
"Master, how do you determine the first disciple through this kind of examination?"
"First disciple, it's simple, just go through the tests of the Three Palaces and Five Views. At least that's what I know, but no one has tried it so far."
After all, it was Zhang Ziyu and his generation who started it, and no one has ever achieved this achievement.
The four-eyed Taoist priest said, looking at Zhang Ziyu with some eagerness, and Zhang Ziyu suddenly panicked.
"Master, if you have something to say, just tell me."
"Ziyu, master has been kind to you these years, right?"
"Ahem, it's not...very good."
When Zhang Ziyu saw the increasingly bad looks in his eyes, he immediately changed his tune and raised the standard of evaluation.
Four Eyes nodded and said: "How about taking off the identity of the first disciple and giving Master a face?"
"Um...Master, will it be too tiring for the first disciple?"
"I'm not tired. I'm tired. I don't know how powerful I am. I just deal with ordinary things. Instead, I refer to Maoshan classics. It's much more convenient than other disciples."
The Taoist Priest with Four Eyes smiled like a fox. If Zhang Ziyu could believe this, it would be a ghost. However, reading Maoshan Classics was not what he wanted now. It was worth considering.
The two of them were traveling at a good speed, and on the third day they arrived at the boundary of Jurong, at the foot of Maoshan Mountain.
