"Zhou Xuanku" stayed at the foot of Yuxu Peak for half a year and was cared for by Miao Xiyao, the seventh generation grandmother, and felt very warm in his heart.
Then, he was sent to the lower courtyard of Shaolin Temple in Nanyang, and became a novice monk in "Yushan Temple". The Zen master gave him the Buddhist name "Xuan Ku".
Shaolin Temple has many martial arts halls, as well as hall entrances, lower courtyards and branch courtyards. Each lower courtyard is a door. Shaolin Temple is composed of several lower courtyards, branches, and hall doors, and is led by the abbot who is the permanent resident.
"Zhou Xuanku" did not enter the martial arts gym because people who come out of the martial arts gym are not upright and popular, and it is not easy to become the elders of the Shaolin Temple. Only those who come out of the temple will be valued by the Shaolin Temple.
"Xuan Ku" practiced in the lower courtyard "Yushan Temple" for three years, and then went to the branch "Yongtai Temple".
He practiced in Yongtai Temple for 4 years. When he was 20 years old, he was ordained and became a real monk.
Later, he participated in the competition among the outer disciples and achieved excellent results. Only then did he have the opportunity to enter the Shaolin Temple and become a disciple of the "Nirvana Hall".
At this time, the Shaolin Temple has millions of handyman disciples, 100,000 outer disciples, 10,000 inner disciples, 3,000 elite disciples, and 30 true disciples.
Xuan Ku just entered the Shaolin Temple and was just an ordinary inner disciple.
He needs to slowly gain qualifications and climb up bit by bit.
*****
In the Yuaniao Realm, Lu You and Guan Sangyue have been practicing in the Wushan Barrier for a hundred years. Seeing the calm outside, they came out to walk around the world.
This was during the reign of Taijia of the Shang Dynasty. Emperor Taizong of the Shang Dynasty used brutal methods to deal with the people and slaves. Yin Yin exiled Taijia to Tongzhi Palace. Three years later, Taijia was restored and became a diligent and caring person.
, the holy king who works hard to rule.
Lu You didn't care who was the king of the Shang Dynasty. He was concerned about the movements of the wood god Jumang. He wanted to know what this person was doing and whether Baikang was buried.
The two of them walked cautiously eastward along the Yangtze River.
The Yangtze River is different from the Yellow River. The lower reaches of the Yellow River swing greatly, while the direction of the Yangtze River is similar to that of later generations.
They had stayed in the Wushan barrier for too long. When they came out, they didn't know what solar term it was, or whether it was winter or summer. The weather was a bit cold. Along the way, there were white snow and bare trees. Most of the rivers were frozen.
.
As they traveled eastward, they encountered not many humans, because the Shang Dynasty only had a population of eight million, and most of them were concentrated in Henan, Shaanxi, and Shanxi.
They walked to the Dabie Mountains, then changed direction and moved northeast through the snow.
Lu You walked slower and slower, compressing his consciousness to 300 miles, and constantly scanning the surrounding situation.
However, he found that there was not even a Heavenly Witch around! The Heavenly Warriors were also very rare, and it seemed that those who followed Jumang had disappeared!
Lu You thought to himself: "Is it possible that those people have been buried?"
Continue walking forward and gradually arrive at the coast of the East China Sea.
They walked along the coastline from south to north for a long time, but found neither Jumang nor his men, nor the cemetery.
Lu You couldn't help but frown: "Strange, where did those people go?"
Guan Sangyue said: "This Yuaniao Realm is not necessarily what later generations will call the Shang Dynasty. The coastline in ancient times may also be different from the coastline in later generations."
Lu You said: "Yes, in the Shang Dynasty recorded in later generations, there were no powerful monks, and the emperor's lifespan did not exceed one hundred years. But this was not the case for the emperors of the Yuaniao Realm. Some lived for three to five hundred years, and some did not die in the end.
Instead of dying, he flew into the sky and left this world. I don’t know how many years ago this Shang Dynasty was in later generations, but I feel that the climate here has become colder than when I first came here!"
"Will lowering temperatures change the coastline?"
"I have read a piece of information. It is said that during the glacial period tens of thousands of years ago, a large amount of fresh water was stored on the land, causing the sea level to drop by two to three hundred meters. The continental shelf was exposed, and the coastline extended eastward, all the way to the Okinawa Trench!"<
/p>
"According to what you said, we should go west to find the Sun City in future generations."
"It makes sense."
So they turned back and looked for familiar mountain landmarks.
They searched for several months and found Mount Tai, Mount Yi, and Mount Meng. They then compared it repeatedly and finally found Wulian Mountain. Wulian Mountain is an ordinary hill, only more than 500 meters high.
Finally, Lu You found two hills, which were very similar to the Wulian Tomb of later generations, but slightly higher by tens of meters.
"Is this the Wulian Tomb? Did the God of Wood, Jumang, and the God of Fire, Zhurong, bury themselves in the tomb after all? Did Baikang fail to escape the fate of being buried in the end?"
Lu You felt a little impulsive and wanted to dig the grave!
But he knew that the Wood God Jumang was not dead, and was probably hiding in the tomb in retreat, trying to advance to the level of Witch Emperor!
If he dares to alarm the other party, Ju Mang will be furious, leaving him and Guan Sangyue dead without a burial place!
The two of them looked there for a long time, and finally left quietly!
A few months later, the Lord God Lu Cheng came to this world and persuaded Guan Sangyue to leave: "The spiritual energy here has dropped a lot, and it is no longer suitable to stay here to practice. You can come with me."
Guan Sangyue asked: "Where is Lu You? Won't you come with us?"
Lu Cheng said: "Let him stay here for a while. When the Shang Dynasty is destroyed and King Wu attacks Zhou, we will see if there is a war to confer gods."
Guan Sangyue thought for a while and finally agreed. Because she had been away from the modern world for hundreds of years and missed those children and grandchildren.
On April 1, 2480, Guan Sangyue returned to Qingfeng Villa.
She has very high skills and is a fifth-level Heavenly Martial Master. She has entered Taoism through martial arts, has two thousand miles of spiritual consciousness, and is free from the constraints of lifespan.
Jiang Qiuyun is a fifth-level celestial witch with five thousand miles of divine consciousness, insight into heavenly secrets, and the ability to control wind and rain, but her melee ability is slightly weaker.
After Guan Sangyue came back, she followed Lu Cheng's suggestion and made a high-profile announcement that she had advanced to the "Nascent Soul True Monarch"!
The news came out and shocked the whole world!
Although there are rumors among the heads and elders of various sects that the Lu family and the Guan family have Nascent Soul monks, it has never been confirmed after so many years!
For the majority of ordinary people, Jin Dan is already a great figure, but they have never heard of the Yuanying True Monarch in the world!
Many people are talking about it online:
"Guan Sangyue disappeared for many years. I thought she was dead. I didn't expect that she was in seclusion and practiced hard for hundreds of years. She finally made a breakthrough and advanced to the Nascent Soul realm in one fell swoop!"
"That's amazing! I'm so impressed with my admiration!"
"Since Guan Sangyue left, Zhuifeng Taiji Sect has been crumbling under the leadership of Zhuo Yijian, almost falling from the position of the eight major sects! If it weren't for Guan Qingfeng's high position in the Elders' House, he would definitely have been criticized by the other major sects.
Suppression! Now, Guan Sangyue has returned as the True Monarch of Nascent Soul, taking the Feng Zhui Tai Chi Sect a big step forward!"
"What is True Lord Nascent Soul? How powerful is he?"
"I don't know!"
"I heard that there is a big realm difference between Yuanying and Jindan, and there is realm pressure between the two parties! Jindan meets Yuanying, just like a mouse meets a cat!"
"Is True Lord Yuanying a god? Like the legendary Lu Dongbin, Tieguai Li, and He Xiangu?"
"I think Lu Dongbin may be a Yuanying monk, but He Xiangu is at a lower level, maybe just a golden elixir."
"Hey, have you seen the latest news? Guan Sangyue is going to hold a Nascent Soul Ceremony at Qingfeng Villa! Masters from all sects in the world are welcome to attend the ceremony!"
"Wow, this is a grand ceremony that happens once in hundreds of years. It's a pity that we are not qualified to participate. It would be great if there was a live broadcast."
"There should be a live broadcast. This is also an opportunity for Zhuifeng Taichi Sect to deter the world."
