Qin Mu was stunned. He looked at Si Yunxiang and then at Granny Si next to him. He was a little confused. He always thought that Granny Si was Si Yunxiang, but now another Si Yunxiang ran out, and she was the contemporary of the Demon Sect.
Saint!
He felt that his head was very messy now. This contemporary saint also had the surname Si. He had preconceived ideas, so he kept testing whether she was Granny Si, and even deliberately teased the saint several times to see if she would be shy!
It wasn't until Si Yunxiang tested him last time that he confirmed that Si Yunxiang was Granny Si, and now...
"The saints of this generation are much safer than the saints of the previous generation, who were just monsters."
A white-haired elder shouted: "Although they are all from the Si family, this generation of saints will not harm our holy religion."
Granny Si glared angrily.
The elder turned away and pretended not to see it.
Si Yunxiang stepped forward and came to Qin Mu. She was still a bit shy and saluted: "Young Master, Saint Si Yunxiang has met the Young Master."
Qin Mu quickly returned the courtesy and said, "You're welcome, junior sister."
"This generation of saints is so generous."
An old man said with emotion: "It's not like the previous generation who, as his wife, actually killed the holy leader."
Granny Si was furious and shouted: "I'm still here, what do you want, stinky old man?"
The old man quickly shut up and did not dare to argue with her.
"Saint Si Yunxiang is not a fuel-efficient lamp."
Qin Mu's eyes flashed, and he looked at the seemingly weak and shy girl beside him, and thought: "She is very thoughtful. She should be the one who defeated Fozi, and then she came to show off to me and test my depth. She has already
You know that I am the young leader, but you still show off in front of me to tempt me, why?"
Granny Si smiled and said: "Yunxiang belongs to our family. The ancestor has taught her for several years. The ancestor had already found you before he found her. After meeting her, he said with emotion that if he had met her earlier, he would not have chosen her.
You are."
Qin Mu looked at Si Yunxiang, and Si Yunxiang also looked at him. Their eyes met, and Qin Mu saw dissatisfaction in her seemingly gentle eyes.
Qin Mu smiled slightly.
Si Yunxiang was probably cultivated by the Young Patriarch in accordance with the leader's rules, and then he asked her and Qin Mu to take the Grand Examination of Taiyuan College in the same year. It should also be a comparison between the two.
Qin Mu never knew that there would be a competition between him and this girl.
Unexpectedly, Qin Mu was so amazing in the college entrance examination that he defeated Taoist Master Ling Yun all the way to the emperor. No matter what he did, Si Yunxiang would be outclassed by him and it was impossible to do better than him.
The subsequent Patriarch Examination tested Qin Mu's ability as a leader. After passing the examination, the young Patriarch had his heart set on his own, and the candidate in his mind was not Si Yunxiang. Compared with her, Qin Mu was more suitable to be the Holy Leader.
However, Si Yunxiang was probably not convinced, so after defeating the Buddha Heart Buddha, he showed off to Qin Mu to test him.
The young Patriarch looked around and said: "The Heavenly King Qian hasn't arrived yet?"
"Not yet."
The young Patriarch frowned. King Han Tian had always had a fiery temper. No matter what happened, he was always the first to rush to the front. If he hasn't arrived now, it means that he can no longer come.
What could be bigger than the leader’s ascension to the throne?
There is only one possible reason why King Han Tian did not come to attend the leader's enthronement ceremony.
"Young Master, you must treat the descendants of King Han Tian kindly from now on." The young patriarch whispered.
Qin Mu's heart was slightly shaken, and just as he was about to ask, the young patriarch said solemnly: "Three hundred and sixty halls, spread the flag, and the saints will come to the mountain!"
Swish.
Large flags were unfolded one after another, completely covering the entire City Lord's Mansion. The flags were unfolded and retracted, and the City Lord's Mansion in Yongzhou City disappeared without a trace. The place where the City Lord's Mansion was originally was now only a piece of white land.
When the big flag covering their heads disappeared, Qin Mu looked around and was shocked. He saw that they had left the noisy Yongzhou City and arrived at a place that did not look like the human world.
Here there is a round dome above the head, and in all directions under the feet, there is a mountain standing in an ethereal place, with neither the sky above nor the earth below.
The green mountains are green, but you can't see the sun when you look up, and you can't see the earth when you look down. This mountain seems to be not in the human world.
"This is Shenglin Mountain?"
Qin Mu looked around and saw mountains and mountains, and a palace hidden deep in the mountains and forests. It should be a palace established by the Holy Cult. However, the young patriarch did not lead them to that palace, but to a pine and cypress tree.
The pines and cypresses are lush and green and have existed in the world for countless years. Under the pines and cypresses is a thatched cottage. The thatched cottage is very clean and has not shown any signs of decay with the passage of time.
There is a big stone under the pines and cypresses. The young Patriarch came under the pines and cypresses. The three hundred and sixty hall masters, the twelve guardian elders, the eight inspectors, the three heavenly kings who suppressed the teachings, and the guardians on the left and right, each sat at the bottom.
The young Patriarch motioned Qin Mu to come forward and said: "This mountain was originally in the human world. When the founder of Tiansheng Sect came here, he saw a woodcutter chopping wood, and what he chopped was this pine and cypress. The woodcutter swung his ax to chop it.
Pines and cypresses are organized in an orderly manner and seem to contain infinite wisdom. However, after receiving an axe, another piece of pine and cypress grew back to its original state. The founder knew that he had met a saint, so he asked the woodcutter for advice. The woodcutter was on this tree.
I preached to him under the pine and cypress trees for decades. The founder gained endless insights, but he was still not satisfied, so he asked the woodcutter, "How can I become a saint?"
Qin Mu listened carefully, and the young founder paused and continued: "The woodcutter said that if you want to become a saint, you must establish virtue, meritorious service, and words, and establish the three immortalities. The founder of the mountain asked again, how to achieve the three immortals? The woodcutter said,
Clear principles, clear knowledge, clear teachings, three enlightenments, thousands of teachers. Then the founder of the world achieved great enlightenment."
The young patriarch raised his head and looked at this pine and cypress that had gone through many vicissitudes of life: "The founder of the mountain knew that if you want to become a saint, you must first be a teacher of thousands of people, so he compiled the saint's teachings into chapters and compiled them into a record.
It is what the outside world calls the Great Yutian Demon Sutra."
"The founding father wrote the Great Yutian Demon Sutra and achieved enlightenment."
"Then he traveled around the world for hundreds of years, passing on the teachings taught by the saints to others. After he passed them on to others, the teachings taught by the saints became his own teachings. He said to you,
If you tell others and listen to them, this is knowledge. The founder of the world knew clearly."
"As for the Ming Sect, the founder established the sect. He was grateful for the woodcutter's guidance, so he called it the Tiansheng Sect and established its doctrines. The way of the saints is no different from what the common people use in daily life. Anyone who is different is heresy! What is it?
Acting and letting nature take its course is called the Tao. This is the origin of my teachings."
Below, although the hall leaders, protectors, and elders of each hall are all high-level leaders of the Demon Sect, most of them have experienced the leader's ascension to the throne for the first time. Even the guardian elders and the Suppressing Sect King do not know much about this history.
They originally thought that some earth-shattering ceremony would be held for the leader to ascend the throne, but unexpectedly, the young founder started talking about the history of the founding of the religion.
Regarding the legendary story of this founder, they had occasionally seen some records in religious classics, but it was just a glimpse of the dragon, and it was not as detailed and moving as the young founder.
"Mingjiao, in which "teaching" means imparting and educating. The founder of the religion established the religion in order to pass on the teachings of the saints to the people of the world. He achieved the enlightenment of thousands of teachers, the clear reason, the clear knowledge, and the clear teaching. He also established morality and established his reputation, but he did not
He can achieve meritorious service, but he cannot become a saint." 1
The young patriarch said: "In his later years, he was thinking about things and not knowing where his merits lay. Although the founder of the mountain was never a saint, he established words for the saints, started teachings himself, had perfect virtues, and was immortal in both ways. This is better than the ordinary people who don't know.
Fan Ji and Qin Mu, are you willing to inherit the virtues, words, principles and knowledge of the founding father?"
Qin Mu bowed, clasped his hands and stretched forward: "Disciple is willing."
The young patriarch showed a smile and said: "Then, the teaching is yours, you have to bear it."
Qin Mu said in a deep voice: "Disciple, bear it."
The young patriarch smiled slightly and said, "Sit on the stone."
Qin Mu walked forward and sat on the stone under the pines and cypresses.
The young Patriarch looked down and said in a deep voice: "This stone is the Saint's Stone, the Saint's Seat. The woodcutter who pointed out the Founding Patriarch was a Saint from heaven. He has no blood relationship or interest relationship with the Patriarch. He is just a saint.
It was the founder who sought enlightenment, so he became a teacher and taught the skills of the founder. The person sitting on this saint's stone is the leader of the religion, but he is also the saint teacher of my religion."
His eyes swept over the hall masters, guardian elders, inspectors, heavenly kings and guardians, and said solemnly: "You, as disciples, have met the holy master."
Three hundred and sixty hall masters, twelve guardian elders, eight inspectors, three religious kings, and the guardians on the left and right all held the disciple ceremony. Saint Si Yunxiang hesitated for a moment and had no choice but to hold the disciple ceremony.
"Disciple meets the Holy Master!"
All voices spoke in unison, resounding throughout Shenglin Mountain.
The young patriarch looked at Granny Si and said in a deep voice: "Li Tianxing, the new leader has ascended the throne, why don't you show up yet? Why don't you pass on the skills I taught to the next generation? You want to take the holy skills I taught into the coffin and completely
Buried?"
Granny Si's body shook slightly, and an old voice came from her mouth: "Disciple...respect the teacher's decree."
She is obviously a woman, but she speaks like an old man at the moment. Her voice is very rough and has an extremely domineering majesty, but she does not dare to be presumptuous in front of the young patriarch.
Granny Si came to Qin Mu. Qin Mu was about to stand up when Granny Si's palm was already on his forehead. Golden light flashed between Granny Si's brows. At the same time, various sounds sounded in the golden light and penetrated into Qin Mu's brows.
in, within the mind.
"Master Li..." someone below whispered.
At this moment, the person occupying Granny Si's body is the former leader Li Tianxing. Although he was plotted by Granny Si, he also planted himself in Granny Si's Taoist heart and became her inner demon. He waited for the opportunity to take his place and become
The woman I love most.
The various sounds in Qin Mu's mind were chaotic and complicated, like gods preaching from nine heavens away, demons whispering in his ears, and Buddha chanting sutras in his heart. It was indescribably weird.
"The voice of a saint?"
His heart was slightly shaken, and he suddenly thought of a possibility. The voice was that of the woodcutter who was chopping wood, and what Master Li taught him was the scripture that the woodcutter taught the founder of the Dharma!
Note 1: San Ming San Li comes from the couplet in front of Wang Yangming's former residence, "Those who have established virtue and meritorious service have made the Three True Immortals; those who have clear reason and clear knowledge of Mingjiao are the teachers of thousands of people." This sentence was used by the ancients to describe saints.
