Xianye

Chapter 413: A Gentleman Changes Like a Leopard, His Writings Flourish

At this time, Mi Jingshi came out of the cave and looked at the vast blue sky, the flowing clouds and water, and the thousands of mountains and valleys in the distance seemed to be melted into the vast waves.

The sky and the water are all in one breath!

The dazzling floating state, as far as the eye can see, makes the viewer unable to tell which of the mountains and islands in the corner of the sky are in front and which are behind.

It was as if my body, mind and spirit were also tossed and swirled along with the waves of the marshland, drifting and tossing, unable to control myself...

"The Nine Provinces Spiritual Cave, the Xiaoming Lake..."

While Mi Jingshi was stroking his beard and pondering, another handsome Taoist in his twenties with red lips and white teeth walked out of the cave and came to his side.

The man looked up at the sky, with a hint of envy and sigh on his face, and sighed softly:

"Didn't I ever think that after Daozi passed away, I, Chen Wei, would have the chance to enter Xiaoming Lake again with integrity? The scenery here is so beautiful that it is indeed incomparable to the four lower houses."

"How can a dignified universe spirit cave, a place of immortality, or a tenth-level spirit vein compare to it?"

Mi Jingshi heard this, glanced at Chen Wei, snorted coldly, and was quite unhappy:
"If you had worked harder and become one of the ten great disciples, would you still be worried about not being able to practice in Xiaoming Lake?

Now you have gone to outer space, and even my daughter and I have to suffer with you. I sacrificed my reputation to ask for the elixir for you, and taught you the ancestral method of eating qi, but in the end we still couldn't reach Mount Qiyun!

And Daozi, you listened to Daozi’s teachings many times back then!"

"Michiko?"

After so many years, when Chen Wei heard the name again, he still felt dazed, as if he was in another world and felt lost.

He turned his head slightly and subconsciously looked in the direction of Xiyi Mountain.

But all I saw was the endless sky, the vast waves, and a vast expanse of white before my eyes...

Chen Wei was silent for a moment, shifted his gaze, and shook his head:
“When Daozi was alive, he took great care of us Chen clan members. To be frank, I have always felt that Daozi was like our master… At the beginning, Chen Bai, Chen Yi, Chen Yangsu and I were determined to make a name for ourselves in Yuchen and create a world for ourselves so that Daozi would be happy for us.

But who would have thought that the world would play tricks on us..."

Mi Jingshi's eyes flashed when he heard this, and thinking of the past, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

The group of Chen family disciples who used to listen to Jun Yao's lectures have now dispersed and are no longer the same as they used to be.

Let’s just talk about those who are on good terms with Chen Wei.

Chen Yi and Chen Yangsu were robbed and killed while traveling, and died miserably many years ago.

Although Chen Wei was better, after failing to win the position in Qiyun Mountain several times and seeing that he had no hope of becoming one of the top ten disciples, he finally accepted the invitation of Yu Luo Xianfu and voluntarily withdrew from the Bai Shang Lower Court. Now he is no longer considered a member of Yu Chen.

As for Chen Bai, although he is extremely talented, he is a rare person who, as the descendant of Chen Yushu, joined the eight sects of Xuanmen and fought his way forward.

He became famous even before Chen Heng, and was ranked first in the annual evaluation. He was highly regarded by Jun Yao and was considered an outstanding hero in all of China!
However, Chen Bai was lured by Chen Yushu's "Langhuan Secret Book" and "Taking People Sutra" and actually defected to the Xiantian Demon Sect and became Chen Yushu's favorite minion and confidant.

As soon as this happened.

It was really embarrassing for Yuchen...

"Chen Yi and I are both incompetent. It's a waste of Daozi's efforts. As for Chen——"

Chen Wei's lips moved several times, but he silently skipped the name Chen Bai and continued to whisper:

"But things are different now. Who could have thought that among my brothers, a Chen Heng would suddenly appear?
The dragon and the tiger meet, and the elixir becomes first-class. Even in the vast world, such people are rare. He will now be canonized as a true disciple, and Master Tongxuan will personally accept him as a disciple. All the Taoist masters in the Nine Provinces will come to congratulate him. It is obvious that he has a promising future!
Given time, he might be able to take the position of Taoist priest left vacant by Yu Chen!

It’s a pity that Daozi is no longer alive and will never know that Chen Heng has fulfilled his expectations of us back then…”

Mi Jingshi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and did not answer.

He raised his eyebrows and turned to look up at the sky.

At this time, after the bell rang, the monks from various sects who had come to watch the ceremony also got the news, packed up their carriages and flew towards Zhouxing Hall.

In an instant, various colored lights, gas and smoke suddenly arose, there were tens of thousands of them, and they obliterated the color of the sky above.

Everything is blurry and colorful!
The ocean was as vast as the sea, and its momentum was as loud as thunder, causing the fairy island under Mi Jingshi's feet to tremble slightly. The momentum was magnificent!

"What a splendid scene, what a grand ceremony... It's rare for a Taoist master to accept a disciple, and it's the same Master Tongxuan. No wonder all the sects and schools sent envoys to congratulate him. This scene is even better than when Zhang Taichu and Zhang Shou were canonized as true disciples.

Could it be that the good karma we established back then will bear fruit so soon?"

Mi Jingshi said this secretly, he was really shocked in his heart, and couldn't help feeling a little happy.

It should be noted that the status of a true disciple is extraordinary, far superior to that of an ordinary elder like him.

These people are all extremely talented. Even when the sect was at its most prosperous, the number of them in each generation would never exceed ten.

They will be the future rulers of the Nine Palaces, the Masters of Yuchen, and the true heart and soul of the sect. It takes a lot of hard work to get one of them!
Even if Chen Heng is included.

Yu Chen's current true teachings only number six.

This shows how valuable the true teachings are!
"Among the six true disciples of my sect, only Chen Heng was taught by the Taoist Patriarch. As for Ji Faka...

Although this man was valued by Master Shan Jian in those days, he was not accepted into the master's sect because of his noble family status. Moreover, Ji Fakei disobeyed the will of the law and acted recklessly, which caused him to suffer a great loss at the hands of Chong Yutian.

Even though he is older and more skilled than Chen Heng, now that he has returned, it would be difficult for him to take the initiative and completely suppress Chen Heng."

Mi Jingshi stroked his beard and sorted out his thoughts silently.

His eyes became brighter and brighter, and gradually they glowed with a divine light, and he felt very excited:
"In this case, doesn't it mean that as long as Chen Heng can keep his position firmly, behave well, and have the help of Master Tongxuan, the title of Yuchen Daozi will most likely be bestowed upon him?!
It is possible that after he wins the Danyuan Conference and gets the fortune, he will enter Xiyi Mountain and preside over Zhouxing Palace as a Taoist!

And he had formed a good relationship with a Taoist when he was in obscurity, and even tried his best to save his life, this, this..."

Just as Mi Jingshi was daydreaming and couldn't help pacing back and forth, attracting the attention of Chen Wei beside him.

Suddenly, there were the sounds of horses neighing and carriages moving on the island, as well as the noisy scene, which brought Mi Jingshi back to his senses.

He looked up and saw Mi Hui standing on a red flying car not far away, holding a white whip tightly.

However, the two fiery horses in front of the carriage seemed to want to make things difficult for him. They did not listen to Mi Hui's orders and deliberately spewed flames and smoke in the clouds, charging left and right, stirring up rolling black clouds.

No matter how hard Mihui tries, it is difficult to calm them down.

Mi Jingshi shook his head, summoned his magic power, took out a golden bell from his sleeve and shook it, then he summoned the flying car from the clouds and landed it beside him.

"This horse is so unruly and won't obey orders..."

Mi Hui looked embarrassed. He jumped out of the car, bowed to Mi Jingshi first, then bowed to Chen Wei with a smile, and then continued:
"Second uncle, the golden bell has rung, why don't we go to Zhouxing Hall to watch the ceremony? Don't waste time, it will be bad!"

Mi Jingshi said nothing, looked at Mi Hui several times, and suddenly said:
"It has been several months since Master Chen returned to the sect after completing his elixir. Although he has been receiving instruction at the ancestral temple and has not returned to Changli Island, those in the sect who really want to make friends with him have not been able to find a way to do so.

But you were invited by Master Chen in person to attend today's ceremony...

Let me ask you one more question. In addition to you, Mi Hui, has Master Chen invited anyone else to the True Transmission Ceremony today?"

Mi Hui said: "Of course there are others. Not to mention those who already have status like Shen Yuanzhi and Shen Cheng, among the four lower houses, people like He Manzi, Shen Ming, and Red Eyebrow Taoist Peng Chu were all invited."

"He Manzi, Shen Ming... Oh, these people all had some friendship with Chen Zhenren in Liuhuo Honghua Cave Heaven. I almost forgot."

Mi Jingshi thought about it, and then after a moment of silence, he said nothing more, only happily:

"Let's go. As you said, there's no need to waste time!"

After saying this, he took the two of them onto the red chariot and shouted.

The fire horse, which had been quite unruly before, immediately lowered its head and became obedient, climbed up the clouds obediently, turned into a flame, and drove towards Zhou Xing Palace.

After traveling for a long time, the carriage finally stopped on a very large island.

Mi Hui looked curiously and saw that the fairy mountains in this big island state were scattered and connected at different heights, and the palaces and towers were looming. It was really difficult to take it all in at a glance.

The water shines in the sky, the clouds and the sun are above, and when the clouds rise, it looks like thousands of white dragons appear and circle in the sky.

Nine-colored light floats in the air, suddenly becoming dim or bright, making it hard to predict!
The grandeur of the scene is truly unrivaled in the Eastern Region!
When Mi Hui was speechless due to the shock of what she saw, Mi Jingshi did not delay any longer. He flew the carriage towards the highest mountain in the island state and then landed in the palace that stood majestically on the top of the mountain.

It is said that Zhouxing Palace is a paradise on earth and a fairyland beyond the world. There is no need to say more about its magnificence.

Before Mi Jingshi arrived, many masters had already arrived and were chatting and laughing with each other in the hall, making the scene quite lively.

"There's really no need to talk about my faction. You all know my name. Excluding those who have no time to split themselves, the nine hall masters have reached half of the total, which is also rare! Let's talk about some of the masters sent outside...

That person is Chang Xiao Zhen Jun of Yin Jing Sect. Although Yin Jing is one of the eight sects of Xuanmen, the power of this sect has been controlled by the three families of Chang, Xiang and Ning in turn since ancient times. Chang Xiao Zhen Jun is a great man of the Chang family and has an extraordinary status! "

Mi Jingshi's gaze stopped on a person in the hall and he introduced him to Chen Wei and Mi Hui through voice transmission.

Mi Hui saw that the Chang Xiao Zhenjun had long hair and eyebrows, and was wearing a green Taoist robe with crane patterns and a beautiful jade belt. There was a gleam of light between his eyebrows, like a bright eye in heaven that could see through illusions and falsehoods, revealing his supernatural powers.

Mi Hui only took a glance and suddenly felt an inexplicable palpitation, so she quickly looked away.

At this time, a man and a woman entered the hall hand in hand, behaving intimately.

The man had an ordinary appearance, dressed in plain clothes, and had a long sword hanging from his waist.

The women are beautiful, with green feathered clothes and beautiful colors.

"Pei Zhenjun of Zhongyi Sword Sect and Zhe Gongzhu of Doushu Sect...didn't this couple go to the Zhengxu Ji Clan to travel? Why are they here today?"

As soon as the man and woman entered the hall, many people came forward to greet them and chat with them. Mi Jingshi was even more surprised and spoke in astonishment.

"That person is the Master of Yuxing Mountain of the Jiuzhen Sect. In the past, when the Doushu Sect attacked Wu Liulitian, he went to help. The five masters and the master of the Great Peacock King Temple were defeated by him!"

An old Taoist with a dark face and long beard was talking to someone on the west side of the hall, laughing loudly.

At his feet lay a Western Gengjin white tiger, which looked very docile and cute, and was chewing its hand out of boredom.

This scene made several boys who came with their elders in the hall extremely excited and they wanted to touch the round and fat tiger head.

"Senior Wei Xian from Beijiyuan, it has been a long time since we parted on Changwentian... Senior, have you finally managed to get the academy?"

An old-fashioned boy flew into the hall with his hands behind his back, laughing loudly, causing True Lord Chang Xiao in the distance to immediately move over to greet him, as if he was very familiar with him.

After exchanging a few words with Master Chang Xiao, the boy shifted his gaze to Mi Jingshi, nodded with a smile, and asked Mi Jingshi to bow respectfully as well, not daring to be negligent.

"That old man Wang from Taifu Palace is good at refining the elixir of immortality."

"Beijiyuan Xilang, his mystical skills are amazing and his virtues are outstanding!"

"The Palace Master Xiangwang of the Chiming Sect is here too? It's rare to see this old man showing his divine power..."

"Hey, why are there a few people from the Blood River Sect?"

……

The grand ceremony was about to begin, and not only the most powerful masters from various sects gathered here, but also well-informed people from all over the world and beyond had come one after another to take part in the excitement.

The Zhouxing Hall was originally a very spacious place, with nine levels of platforms in total, one connected to the other, and it was majestic and impressive.

But at this time, all kinds of colors and lights were seen illuminating the corners of the seat, neither extinguishing nor going out.

Sometimes, a monk wrapped in mist would enter the temple led by a boy and greet those he knew.

This solemn and dignified place has become much more lively at this moment, just like an ordinary literary gathering, adding a lot of fun...

"If it weren't for the grand ceremony where the master personally accepted disciples, how could we have the opportunity to see so many people with great supernatural powers?"

Mi Jingshi was filled with emotion:
"If the people in this palace were to join forces, they would be able to destroy an inferior universe and eliminate all the rebellious and disobedient people in the universe! May my Taoism flourish, and the immortal way flourish!"

He called out to Mi Hui, who was still in a daze, and motioned for Chen Wei to follow. He was ready to take the two of them to visit the powerful person in the hall, so that they could at least recognize his face.

He had just taken a few steps when he suddenly seemed to realize something and looked sideways outside the hall.

I saw a strong wind swirling in the sky and voices of discussion suddenly arose in the hall.

Then, as the crowd parted, they saw the Gongshu brothers and a handsome Taoist priest in black robes and a golden crown, led by a serving boy, slowly entering the hall.

The Gongshu brothers had smiles on their faces, but they still didn't look serious. From time to time, they waved enthusiastically to the people they knew in the hall, and seemed to be in a good mood.

Between the two, the Taoist in black clothes and golden crown had clear eyes and eyebrows, and a layer of light and clear aura shrouded him. He seemed illusory and real, hazy and ethereal, making people unforgettable on sight, showing that he had a deep foundation in Taoism.

His attitude was also very polite, without any arrogance or complacency. He politely thanked each of the cultivators who came forward to the hall, with a slight smile on his lips.

"Master Chen has arrived..."

Mi Jingshi's heart moved and a smile appeared on his face.

He was just about to go forward and start a conversation, but in a blink of an eye, he saw that the man had been surrounded by the cultivators, like an iron wall, with no way out.

"..."

Mi Jingshi opened his mouth wide, looked at the situation on the battlefield, and had no choice but to stop.

"Brother, what are you in such a hurry for? They are in a hurry to make friends with Master Chen so that they can get a good impression in front of the Grand Master. As for you, I have an old friendship with Master Chen!"

At this moment, a hand patted Mi Jingshi's shoulder. He turned around and saw Luan Shuo with a leisurely attitude, and a three-foot-long small black dragon was lying on his shoulder.

"Brother Luan, are you okay? Wait, you look like this..."

Mi Jingshi looked at Luan Shuo a few times with a suspicious look on his face.

Although the person opposite seemed to be in perfect spirit and full of energy, upon closer inspection, there was a faint demonic aura on him that lingered in his internal organs and could not be dispelled.

Luan Shuo was not embarrassed when he heard this, and waved his hand:

"Years ago, I went to the outer space to refine star sand and encountered people from the outer space demon sect. They relied on their numbers to rob me of my treasures, but I ended up killing them all. Although I was hit by a hidden hand during the fight, it doesn't matter. Such a minor injury is far from enough to break my Taoist body!"

"This evil aura is a bit like the methods of the original demon sect? Such a stray dog ​​is really disgusting." Mi Jingshi suddenly realized and laughed:

"This is easy. I have a Ten-Sky-Levi insect that can eat all evil. After the ceremony, I will lend this insect to you to heal your wounds."

"Okay, okay, thank you very much!"

Luan Shuo showed a look of delight, nodded in agreement, and bowed to express his gratitude.

Although the injury is not serious, it will take at least three to five years to fully recover.

But if Mi Jingshi's Ten-Day Luo Worm could help, the time Luan Shuo would need to spend on healing could be shortened by more than half, which would be a good thing.

Just as Mi Jingshi was greeting Luan Shuo, the hall became increasingly lively with all kinds of voices.

While Luan Shuo was talking to Mi Jingshi, he was secretly observing the situation in the palace.

He didn't know what he remembered, and a slight smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Are there any younger disciples from the lower academy? It seems that Master Chen really does cherish our friendship. In this way, it is worth it for me to risk offending Xie Yingyuan and come to inform Junior Brother Mi...

I have studied physiognomy for half my life. Even my master has repeatedly criticized me for not doing my job properly. Some of my fellow disciples have secretly ridiculed me, saying that I was overestimating my abilities when I chose the "Pearl Bag Book of Life and Death".

But now looking back, who is the one who is short-sighted? ! "

When Luan Shuo's thoughts were racing and his heart was agitated, suddenly everything around him became quiet.

He raised his eyes and saw Chen Heng walking towards him in full view of everyone. He bowed to him first and said with a smile:
"Elder Mi, Elder Luan, I hope you are both well."

Mi Jingshi and Luan Shuo looked at each other subconsciously, and both quickly returned the greeting with smiles on their faces.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, he greeted Mi Hui and Chen Wei in turn.

Before Chen Heng could say anything more, a mysterious sound suddenly shook his ears, rumbling down like a waterfall.

The sound penetrates the sky and reaches the blue sky, as if it can flow through every tiny hair and permeate the vast universe!
All the cultivators in the hall felt awe in their hearts, and they all looked outside at the same time, only to see an infinite amount of light bursting out suddenly, brighter than the sun and the moon, and breaking all evil and darkness.

This light seemed to be born from all directions, and seemed to originate from the Milky Way, transforming into all kinds of rain flowers in the sky and flames in the candlelight sky.

It is so majestic and wonderful that it is truly amazing!

The Tao Lord is the second-in-command of the Three Realms and the chief of Yuandong.

Such people are almost immortals and saints.

One can ascend to the Palace of Shangqing, travel to the Palace of Taiji, and rule the land of the ten directions. The nature of Tao is solid and difficult to be born or destroyed.

If you do not deliberately conceal your whereabouts when traveling, it will surely cause the heaven and earth to interact, and auspicious signs will appear, alarming all the spirits of nature!

At this moment, several figures were seen looming in the auspicious light, which was extremely wonderful and lofty.

In Zhouxing Hall, from the Lord of the Ninth Hall down, no matter who they were or what sect they came from, they all bowed and saluted, calling him "Tao Lord" or "Ancestor" with a respectful attitude.

"Everyone please stand up. Why are you being so polite?"

Deep in the clouds, someone spoke with a faint smile.
