After finishing the meal and taking the tea from Quanzhike, Zhao Ran asked: "Where is my master? Is he here?"
Quan Zhike said: "Elder Jiang is here and has not left the mountain. If Daoist Zhao has something to do, feel free to go. This small courtyard has not been inhabited for more than a year. I will clean it up."
After leaving Lingjian Pavilion, we headed towards the back mountain. This was the training residence of the elders of Huayun Pavilion, which was covered by a magic formation that isolated the inside and outside.
The last time Zhao Ran came, he also went to the back mountain to pay homage to the mountain gate, and kept saying that he wanted to meet the teacher. The two teachers he said he wanted to meet were Elder Xiahou, the supervisor at the time of his burial, and Elder Yan, the deliverer.
But it was purely because he was being careless, just to remind the two elders that there was still such a number one figure in Huayun Pavilion.
If I come to visit you now, I will do so in an upright and upright manner.
The deacon Taoist boy was not familiar with him, so he glanced at the two flames on his Taoist robe and asked, "What is the matter with, senior brother?"
Zhao Ran also glanced at the Taoist deacon's robe, a flame, and smiled happily: "Excuse me, junior brother, I want to pay a visit to my mentor."
"You are..."
"Lingjian Pavilion, Zhao Zhiran..."
The Taoist boy immediately reacted: "It turns out to be Senior Brother Zhao. I have heard of Senior Brother Zhao, but I have never had a chance to meet him. Senior Brother, wait a moment..."
Zhao Ran asked: "I wonder what junior brother Gao's surname is? Which family does he belong to?"
The Taoist boy turned around and said, "I am Gao Yuqian from Yunlan Gang." His body disappeared into the formation.
In the jungles of ten directions in Daomen Temple, the seniority is strictly divided according to "Lulu to regulate the sun, and the clouds to bring the rain". A word is changed every twenty years, and the names of each other are also strictly sorted according to the seniority of the word.
However, in the Zisun Temple practice hall, the names of each other are based on the disciples within the same sect, and those who are not the same sect are calculated based on their mutual relationship. For example, Zhao Ran’s master Jiang Tenghe is of the “Teng” generation, and Zhou Yumo
His master, Lin Zhijiao, is from the generation of "Zhi", but they are monks of the same generation in Huayun Pavilion. Therefore, although one of their disciples is from the generation of "Zhi" and the other is from the generation of "Yu", they still call each other "Yu".
Brothers and sisters.
Therefore, in the monastery and pavilion, although the names are also based on the eight characters "Lulu Tiaoyang, Yunteng Zhiyu", they rarely rank each other in this way. The main reason is that the longevity of the monks is long.
Much higher than ordinary mortals. Generally speaking, ordinary people are considered good if they live to sixty, and those who live to eighty are considered to have a long life. As monks improve their cultivation level, their lifespan continues to increase.
For example, Jiang Tenghe, who has just entered the realm of alchemy, can easily live to be over one hundred and twenty years old, twice as long as an ordinary person. If he can become a great alchemist, his lifespan can be extended by another twenty years, and if he enters the realm of heaven
In the master realm, there is no pressure at the age of 160, and some can even live beyond 200 years old, and can be called gods on land.
In this kind of longevity, it would be a joke to strictly follow the eight-character seniority name, so some pure family temples are not even named according to this set of genealogy - such as Qingyun Pavilion.
Of course, with Zhao Ran's current level of Taoist realm, compared with ordinary people, he only has a long life - he can survive until seventy or eighty years old in good health. Only by forming a golden elixir can his longevity be significant.
growth and can live to be over ninety years old.
Zhao Ran also had a dream of raising his realm by one level and extending his lifespan to a hundred years, but this kind of dream does not belong to this world. It takes two hundred years to build a foundation, six hundred years of golden elixir, and the kind where the Nascent Soul transforms into a tortoise.
Beautiful ideals are destined to be nothing more than legends in this world.
The deacon Taoist boy Gao Yuqian came out of the illusion formation not long after and said to Zhao Ran: "Elder Jiang has invited me. Senior Brother Zhao is coming with me."
Zhao Ran followed him and stepped into the illusion formation.
The phantom formation that shrouded and protected the back mountain was different from the Huayun Mountain mountain-protecting formation. It had less of a killing intent and more aura. Zhao Ran subconsciously observed with his own heavenly eyes and realized that the flow of Qi in this formation was not simple. It is limited to the back mountain, but throughout the entire Huayun Mountain.
Looking carefully, Zhao Ran couldn't help but be impressed. His level of cultivation was not high and he could not understand or understand the various evolutionary methods of this formation. However, in terms of the flow of heaven and earth energy alone, this formation was the most comprehensive one. The center of Huayun Mountain's spiritual power deployment.
The biggest difference between the back mountain and the front mountain lies in the primitive atmosphere contained therein. There are no elaborate cornices and railings, no ponds full of fish and cranes, no golden bridges with jade belts, and no pavilions and palaces.
Looking around, one can see a vast expanse of hills, with all kinds of tall and lush trees. Among them, a stone mountain stands like a sword, and there are about a dozen caves carved out on the stone mountain, which look extremely simple.
But although it was simple, the solemn aura coming towards him made Zhao Ran's breathing a little short.
Gao Yuqian said from the side: "Is this your first time to Back Mountain, Senior Brother Zhao? The spiritual energy here is too strong. Only mages who have formed the golden elixir can be free from restraints. Senior Brother Zhao will be able to breathe more slowly, and it will be good to get used to it."
Without Gao Yugan's reminder, Zhao Ran had already seen through that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here was extremely powerful and had reached the point where it was slightly stagnant in its flow. He was shocked, could this be the true meaning of the so-called Cave Heaven Blessed Land?
Gao Yuqian led him to the foot of the stone mountain and pointed to a cave in the mountain: "That's where Elder Jiang's cave is. Senior Brother Zhao can just go there."
Zhao Ran climbed up more than twenty feet along the mountain path carved out of the stone mountain, stopped in front of a cave, and saluted respectfully: "Disciple Zhao Zhiran, I returned to the mountain today and came to pay homage to my master."
Jiang Tenghe's voice came from the cave: "Come in."
Zhao Ran looked at the small cave in front of him. It was five or six feet deep, one foot high, and no more than three feet wide. He couldn't help but be stunned. There was nothing in the cave, no tables, chairs, beds, stools, or study shelves. , there was no trace of Jiang Tenghe at all.
Since Jiang Tenghe let him in, Zhao Ran could only step in with doubts.
As soon as you step in, you will suddenly arrive at the foot of a majestic mountain. At the foot of the mountain are dozens of wooden pavilions and carved towers. A tower in the middle is about a hundred feet high, reaching straight into the sky.
This place is different from the outside, but at night, the sky is full of stars twinkling in the sky, forming a bright Milky Way.
Zhao Ran was really shocked by the sight in front of him, and stared blankly at the tallest tower. On the stage, there was a Taoist priest in apricot-yellow robes, with his hands behind his back, looking up at the stars.
I'm obviously just pretending, but why am I so moved that I want to cry?
Gao Dao was Zhao Ran's master Jiang Tenghe. He cast his gaze on Zhao Ran, smiled and nodded: "Come up."
So Zhao Ran came to the stage, looked at the countless steps, and murmured in his heart, this is too high, should he use Taoism to get on stage? After pondering for a moment, he decided to honestly go one step at a time. Climb up the level.
