The Kunlun Mountain Opening Day, which occurs every thirty years, has finally arrived.
The so-called thirty means half a year.
The Taiqing Sect of Kunlun established the sect's Qi number as "Gold in the Sea", so it was usually officially founded in the Jiazi year or the Yichou year, and was added again in the Jiawu year or the Yiwei year, that is, twice in one Jiazi year.
It would be too long to explain this in detail, so I won’t mention it for now.
But for the ancients whose average life span was only fifty, it meant that most people only had one or two opportunities to worship Kunlun in their lives.
Of course, if one is as talented as Qiu Changtian and can complete the Kunlun Climb to Heaven on a day other than the day when the mountain was founded, then there is no problem in joining the Taiqing Sect at any time.
Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian came down with their swords and circled around the Kunlun Tianzhu.
I saw the mountain steps of the Kunlun Heavenly Road, going up around the Kunlun Heavenly Pillar, circle after circle, with countless mortals clinging to it like ants, struggling to climb up.
"I heard that senior brother climbed the mountain on a day other than the opening of the mountain?" Xu Yinglian glanced at him with a cold expression.
"Not bad." Qiu Changtian nodded.
"Can you tell me, junior sister, what's so mysterious about this road to heaven?" Xu Yinglian pointed downwards and said.
Xu Yinglian was carefully trained by the Tiannan Xu family because of his spiritual talent of "Seven Apertures and Exquisite Heart", and was then personally brought to Kunlun by his senior brother Xu Changqing in the Foundation Establishment Period to become a disciple. He never walked the road to heaven.
In future generations, for example, if a university recommends students without taking the exam, asking you "What is it like to take the college entrance examination" is essentially a form of showing off.
Qiu Changtian seemed unaware and just smiled and replied:
"The road to heaven in Kunlun has 100,000 steps to the sky. This is not an empty sign, but a real 100,000 steps."
"If a mortal can complete the journey to heaven in one day and one night, he will be allowed to join the Kunlun Taiqing Sect."
"Based on the order of completion of the journey to heaven, inner disciples and outer disciples can be divided into inner disciples and outer disciples. Inner disciples can participate in the disciple recruitment meeting and become apprentices, while outer disciples can only learn Qi refining by themselves."
"In addition, if you want to practice the most powerful "Nine Heavens Qingwei Entry Mantra" of our sect, you must become a disciple of Master Ziwei."
"Our master only accepts seven disciples for each generation, and only the chief disciple is a direct disciple and can enter the lecture room of Yuxu Palace to listen to the scriptures. The other disciples can only study with the chief disciple."
"Huh?" Xu Yinglian interrupted him, "Since the chief disciple of this generation has been determined to be the senior brother in advance, why can I also go to the lecture room to listen to the scriptures?"
"Because junior sister's seven-orificed exquisite heart is one of the best talents in the world." Qiu Changtian said with a smile, "Genius can always make people break the rules."
Genius can always make people break the rules... Xu Yinglian chewed these words carefully, and suddenly saw his senior brother lowering his sword and lowered it, so he hurried to follow.
I saw a young mortal sitting on the steps on the mountain road below, covering his face with his hands without saying a word.
His companion was tugging at his sleeves and trying to persuade him:
"Don't rest anymore, come with me."
The young man just shook his head and refused to get up:
"The mountain road is endless and really tiring. Let me rest for a while."
The sword light of the two people circled down, Qiu Changtian said coldly:
"He has been deceived by the devil from outside and has become lazy and decadent. Just go away and leave him alone."
The young man's expression changed several times after hearing this, but after all, his will was weak and he really didn't want to leave anymore, so he lowered his head and said nothing more.
His companion gritted his teeth and had no choice but to leave him and continue moving forward.
Qiu Changtian raised his sword light again and said to Xu Yinglian:
"It is not easy to walk on this road to the sky. The closer you get to the top of the mountain, the closer you get to the sky. Mortal flesh and blood are not protected by immortal magic. If you get tired of stopping even a little bit, you will be amplified by demons from outside. Your heart for seeking the truth is not firm.
Otherwise, once you stop to rest, it is difficult to get up again.”
"Devils from outside the world?" Xu Yinglian asked in disbelief, "How can we be affected by demons from outside the world in our Kunlun Taiqing Sect?"
"There are three disasters and nine catastrophes in cultivating Taoism. You can't escape anywhere." Qiu Changtian shook his head and said, "To achieve the road to immortality with a mortal body, you must have great perseverance and great ambitions."
The two of them continued to climb up the mountain with their swords shining brightly. They saw that the higher the mountain road went, the fewer people were walking and the more people were stopping.
It is true as Qiu Changtian said, on this road to heaven, as long as you stop and rest, you will let go of your obsession with cultivating the Tao.
It is extremely difficult to get up and leave again.
Seeing that Xu Yinglian was a little eager to try, as if he wanted to land and compete with these immortal seekers on the way to heaven, Qiu Changtian smiled and said:
"Junior sister's exquisite heart with seven orifices is very resistant to demons from outside the world. Even if you are occasionally confused by magic, you can still see through it quickly. That's why Master allows you to enter without taking the test. It's probably because the road to Kunlun to heaven is too important for you.
It’s really not that difficult.”
"I see." After hearing what his senior brother said, Xu Yinglian put down his competitive spirit and sighed, "What about senior brother's 'clear Tao heart'?"
Autumn Changtian smiles without saying a word.
Your exquisite heart with seven orifices is only resistant to the invasion of inner demons.
My Taoist heart is clear, but I am directly immune to the invasion of inner demons.
Which one is better or worse, need we say more?
However, if he said this, although it would greatly increase the synchronization value, the tsundere junior sister would definitely fall out with him.
Therefore, Qiu Changtian just changed the subject, pointed downward and said:
"Speaking of which, among the disciples who climbed mountains this year, there are also a few who are extremely talented."
"The person who is currently in the lead is called Guan Zhan. It is said that he comes from the Guan family in Longyou."
"Longyouguan family?" Xu Yinglian frowned and said, "Isn't his family descended from generations of swordsmen from the Qing sect in Shushan? Why did they send a young man to join Kunlun this time?"
"I don't know about this either." Qiu Changtian shook his head, "However, this level of cutting is extremely strong. After opening the mountain, he walked all the way, leaving everyone else behind. Now that the pace has slowed down, I guess I can't hold on anymore.
, but the first position is still difficult to shake for the time being.
"Normally, he would be the chief disciple of this generation." Xu Yinglian sneered and said in a slightly mocking tone, "It's a pity that I met my senior brother this time."
"Is it just that he met me?" Qiu Changtian laughed dumbly, "Junior sister, don't forget, according to the order of entry, you are also ranked in front of him. If he chooses to become his master, he can only be ranked third at most.
"
"Yes." Xu Yinglian nodded, thinking that his junior brother was below him, and his mood improved slightly.
"The person walking in the second place is Yan Zitui from Bailudong Academy in Jiangzhou." Qiu Changtian pointed to the person behind him and continued to talk to his junior sister, "The three major sects in ancient times are the Chan Jiao, the Jie Jiao and the Ren Jiao.
Among them, the human religion has been passed down to this day, and it is Confucianism that has inherited its mantle.”
"This Yan Zhitei came from the Yan family in Langya, Qingzhou, and his family has been a scholarly family for generations. It is strange that this generation of descendants did not take the imperial examination to become an official, but traveled all the way to Kunlun to become a disciple."
Xu Yinglian pondered for a moment and said:
"What is Senior Brother trying to explain? Kunlun's fortune is so great that it attracts children from aristocratic families to come here one after another?"
"No." Looking at such a cute junior sister, Qiu Changtian couldn't help but tease her, "This generation of disciples is full of talents. Junior sister, we must practice diligently and not to be surpassed by our junior brothers and sisters."
"This is absolutely impossible!" Xu Yinglian immediately became furious and said through gritted teeth.
