Shared talent: traveling through the heavens and worlds at the same time

Chapter 229 Qingyun Sect

That night, Lin Bei secretly returned home by himself, without letting his parents know that he had left.

The next day, Pu Zhi came to persuade Lin Bei's parents as he said.

Moreover, in order to make his words more convincing, Puzhi not only took a thorough shower, but also changed himself into a brand new set of monk's robes.

Combined with Puzhi's wrinkled face, his whole body is filled with the aura of an enlightened monk.

In addition, Pu Zhi had shown off a few of his skills in front of Lin Bei's parents in this life. When he entered the venue, he descended from the sky on a ray of golden light, which directly frightened them. Naturally, they believed whatever Pu Zhi said.

"Master, is what you said true? Is this child really destined to be an immortal? Can he practice with you, Master?"

Zhang Changsheng, Lin Bei's father in this life, still couldn't believe it and kept questioning Pu Zhi.

Puzhi put his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name, saying seriously:
"Of course, Mr. Zhang, your child is extremely talented and will surely achieve great things in the future. However, I'm afraid we won't be able to see each other for several years. I wonder if Mr. Zhang is willing to let him go?"

Zhang Changsheng was naturally reluctant about not being able to see him for several years as Puzhi said, but this was a fairy fate.

Cao Miao Village is close to Qing Yun Sect. On weekdays, disciples of Qing Yun Sect are often seen coming and going. Some villagers even chop wood to trade with the disciples of Qing Yun Sect. Therefore, they attach great importance to the so-called immortal fate.

Although the master in front of him is not a Taoist priest from Qingyun Sect, but a monk, since he can fly in the air like the disciples of Qingyun Sect, he must be an accomplished Taoist, right?

Therefore, Zhang Changsheng suppressed his reluctance and said repeatedly:
"Of course I am willing to give it up. As long as this child can have a promising future, even if we never see each other again in this life, we are willing to give it up."

Hearing Zhang Changsheng's words, Pu Zhi shook his head and said:
"Buddha is merciful. Donor Zhang does not need to do this. The reason why he could not come back to see you in the past few years was just to lay a good foundation. When he has achieved success in his cultivation, he can come back naturally."

Zhang Changsheng smiled even more happily when he heard this. He had a chance to become an immortal, and after he succeeded in his cultivation, he could come back to visit him often. It was natural that such a good thing could happen in this world, so Zhang Changsheng was happy.

However, at this time Lin Bei suddenly started to make a noise:

"Dad, I don't want to go with him to practice. He said he wanted to take me to Tianyin Temple, which is too far away. I won't be able to see you and mom for a long time. I don't want that!"

Zhang Changsheng's face changed when he heard this, and he immediately scolded:
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid? This is a chance for immortality, and many people would beg for it, but they can't get it. How can you mess around with it?

Besides, didn’t the master say that we won’t be able to see each other for the first few years? When you have achieved success in your cultivation, you can come back to see us.”

But no matter how Zhang Changsheng scolded him, Lin Bei just kept making a fuss and refused to go with Pu Zhi.

After a long while, Pu Zhi saw that it was almost time, and Zhang Changsheng was so angry that he was about to hit someone, so he spoke again:
"Well, since this little donor is unwilling to join my Buddhist sect, perhaps he is not destined to be with me."

Hearing Pu Zhi's words, Zhang Changsheng became even more angry. He couldn't help but raise his hand to hit Lin Bei, but was stopped by Pu Zhi. Pu Zhi then asked:

"Little donor, since you don't want to go back to Tianyin Temple with me, how about I send you to Qingyun Sect?

Qingyun Gate is not far from Caomiao Village, so if you want to come back in the future, you can come back anytime."

Lin Bei would naturally not refuse when he heard this, as this was what Lin Bei and Pu Zhi had discussed.

If Pu Zhi sent Lin Bei directly to Qingyun Mountain, it would be somewhat unreasonable for him not to accept such a talented person but to give him to another sect.

But now that this has happened, it can be said that Pu Zhi wanted to accept Lin Bei but Lin Bei was unwilling, so he sent Lin Bei to Qingyun Sect. Considering Pu Zhi's temperament, this is reasonable.

Although Zhang Changsheng didn't mind Lin Bei being taken to Tianyin Temple for the sake of his child's immortal fate, it would be better if he could join the closer Qingyun Sect.

This makes everyone happy.

Coincidentally, at this time, the news that an immortal came to the Zhang family and was ready to take Zhang Xiaofan to practice had spread throughout this small Cao Miao Village, and the villagers also gathered around to watch the fun.

After all, the scene of Puzhi turning into golden light and falling from the sky was seen by more than just the Zhang family.

The villagers who came to watch the fun surrounded the Zhang family. Seeing that Zhang Xiaofan from the Zhang family was really going to be taken away by the master to practice Taoism, and even to the Qingyun Sect to practice, the villagers were completely excited.

With such an opportunity to change their destiny right before their eyes, how could these villagers miss it?

Since the Zhang family’s children can do it, why can’t their children do it?
Therefore, after Lin Bei decided to go to Qingyun Sect, the villagers in the village brought all their children over, wanting to ask Pu Zhi for help to see if their children also had the same fate as Zhang Xiaofan.

Among them, there are even some villagers who are already middle-aged and actually want Pu Zhi to take them to practice Taoism.

Pu Zhi was a compassionate person, and he thought it was best to do the whole show, so after hesitating for a while he did not refuse, and he really started to check the qualifications of other children in Cao Miao Village at Zhang's house.

And looking at it this way, Pu Zhi really found another person with superior qualifications - Lin Jingyu, who was used to compare with Zhang Xiaofan in the original plot and was the one from Cao Miao Village who truly had the qualifications to cultivate immortals.

When seeing Lin Jingyu's qualifications, even Pu Zhi couldn't help but be surprised that a dragon and a phoenix appeared at the same time in this small Cao Miao Village.

Although Lin Jingyu's qualifications are not as good as Lin Bei's who has cheats, they can definitely be regarded as top-notch qualifications.

But there was only Lin Jingyu. Among the dozen or so children in Cao Miao Village, the aptitude of the other children were all relatively poor. Even if they went to practice, they could not achieve anything great.

Pu Zhi told the villagers of Cao Miao Village the results of his observation truthfully. Fortunately, most of the villagers of Cao Miao Village were relatively simple and honest, and they were also afraid of those who had truly attained enlightenment. Therefore, although they were unwilling, they had no choice but to accept this fact.

However, Lin Jingyu's parents were naturally overjoyed. They just wanted to give it a try, but they didn't expect that their child actually had a chance to become an immortal.

When Pu Zhi asked Lin Jingyu whether he was willing to go back to Tianyin Temple with him, Lin Jingyu decisively chose no.

If there had not been Lin Bei's example, Lin Jingyu might have gone back with Pu Zhi for the sake of immortality. But since Lin Bei could go to the closer Qingyun Sect, Lin Jingyu naturally did not want to follow Pu Zhi to Tianyin Temple.

Even Lin Jingyu's parents thought so.

Pu Zhi had no objection to this. In his opinion, having Lin Jingyu, a child with equally high talent, join the Qingyun Sect with Zhang Xiaofan would also help Zhang Xiaofan hide himself better.

In this way, Pu Zhi was forced by Lin Bei and Lin Jingyu's parents to stay at home for a sumptuous lunch, and also gave the two children some time to say goodbye to their parents. In the afternoon, Pu Zhi took Lin Bei and Lin Jingyu to Qingyunmen.

With Puzhi and the two children flying in the air, and since Qingyun Gate was not far away, the three of them arrived outside Qingyun Gate in almost no time.

The Qingyun Sect is indeed the leader of the righteous sects today. The mountain gate is extremely beautiful, and looks like a paradise for immortals. Seven towering peaks are shrouded in clouds and mist, and from time to time, disciples of the Qingyun Sect turn into rainbows and fly up. There are pavilions and towers on each peak, and high palaces are scattered on them, which are majestic and magnificent.

Lin Jingyu, who came out of Cao Miao Village for the first time, was stunned when he saw this scene in mid-air. He opened his mouth wide and couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Even Lin Bei couldn't help but marvel at the scenery of Qingyun Gate, but he was not too surprised.

This made Pu Zhi, who had been secretly observing the two children, even more satisfied.

Under the leadership of Pu Zhi, the group of three went straight to the highest mountain among the seven peaks of Qingyun Sect and landed in a square.

This is a huge square, the ground is paved with white marble, it is shining brightly, and at first glance, one can't help but feel insignificant.

And because the terrain is too high, the square is directly covered by white clouds, as if covered by a veil, making people feel like they are in the clouds.

In the center of the square, there is a huge bronze tripod placed every few dozen feet. There are nine tripods in three rows, arranged in an orderly manner, and green smoke rises from time to time.

Lin Jingyu was dazzled by the scene before him. He looked around with wide eyes, as if he wanted to take in every detail.

Lin Bei was also observing around, but he was looking more at the disciples wearing Qingyun Sect's Taoist robes.

The noise of Pu Zhi's arrival quickly alerted the disciples on duty at Qing Yun Sect. A young Taoist priest carrying a long sword walked quickly towards the three people, bowed respectfully to Pu Zhi and said:

"Master, I wonder what is the purpose of coming to my Qingyun Sect?"

Pu Zhi clasped his hands together and saluted in return:

"I am Puzhi from Tianyin Temple. I have come to visit Master Daoxuan. Please let me know."

When the young Taoist heard Pu Zhi introduce himself, his face immediately turned grim. He had obviously heard of Pu Zhi's name before, and his attitude became even more respectful.
"It turns out to be Master Puzhi. Please wait a moment, I will go and report to the headmaster."

Afterwards, the young Taoist priest did not dare to delay and turned around and ran quickly towards the back of the square.

Pu Zhi took Lin Bei and the others and stood in the square waiting quietly.

Not long after, the young Taoist priest came back again, bowed to Pu Zhi and said:

"Master, the headmaster is already waiting for you in Yuqing Palace, please follow me."

Pu Zhi made a gesture of invitation and then followed the young Taoist priest and walked forward.

Lin Bei and Lin Jingyu naturally followed Pu Zhi closely and walked together.

The group first crossed the huge square and then saw a stone bridge.

The stone bridge has no base or piers, it rises across the sky, one end resting on the square, the other end reaching deep into the white clouds, like a dragon leaping into the sky, with an aura of arrogance and loneliness.

Under the sunlight, the entire bridge exudes colorful colors, which is gorgeous and beautiful.

Lin Bei and Lin Jingyu looked around curiously while following Pu Zhi to climb up the stone bridge.

At this point, Lin Jingyu was no longer as shocked as he was at the beginning, but had calmed down a lot. It was obvious that his character was indeed very good among children.

The group continued walking up along the stone bridge. After a while, the white clouds gradually thinned, and the group actually walked out of the sea of ​​clouds, and the view in front of them suddenly became bright.

It was only then that Lin Bei and the others saw that at the end of the stone bridge, right in front of them, there was a majestic palace standing on the top of the mountain.

That is the main hall of Qingyun Sect’s Tongtian Peak, the Yuqing Hall.

After coming down from the Rainbow Bridge, everyone passed by a pond in front of the hall, and were then safely led into the hall by the young Taoist priest.

I saw three big characters "Yuqing Hall" on the top of the hall. It was well-lit and enshrined with tablets of the Three Pure Ones, giving it a solemn atmosphere.

Among them, a Taoist priest wearing a dark green Taoist robe and with an immortal look was standing in front of the altar waiting for them.

Seeing Pu Zhi coming in with two children, the Taoist priest smiled and bowed, saying:
"Master Puzhi, we meet again. I wonder why you came here this time?"

Lin Jingyu lowered his head and dared not look any further, but Lin Bei saw clearly that although this Taoist priest, who looked only middle-aged, was welcoming Puzhi on the surface, he actually seemed a little impatient.

Pu Zhi, on the other hand, seemed oblivious to the other party's attitude and put his hands together and said:

"Good, good, Taoist Master Daoxuan, I am not here for the previous matter, but to send these two young donors to Qingyun Sect to become your disciples."

Daoxuan was obviously stunned when he heard Puzhi's words, and then asked with some surprise:

"Oh? What kind of talent is this that you need to bring him here in person?"

Then, Daoxuan turned his head and looked at the two children behind Puzhi. He looked at them carefully, especially when he saw Lin Bei, he was surprised:
"How can there be such talented people in this world? This child's talent is so good that I have never seen it before! The talent of the other child is also extraordinary. No wonder Master Puzhi needs to escort him personally. I just don't know where these two people came from?"

Pu Zhi sighed upon hearing this and slowly said:

“A few days ago, after I left Qingyun Sect, I passed by a village not far from Qingyun Sect called Caomiao Village. I stayed overnight in the Caomiao in the village and unexpectedly discovered this young donor named Zhang Xiaofan, who has extraordinary talent.

I wanted to take him in as my disciple, but he was reluctant to leave his parents behind and didn’t want to go to Tianyin Temple with me, and lose his connection with Buddha. I didn’t want to see him separated from his parents, but I also didn’t want his talent to go to waste, so I took the initiative to send him to Qingyun Sect. I hope Taoist Master Daoxuan will forgive me.”

As he spoke, Pu Zhi glanced at Lin Jingyu again and said:
"As for this young donor Lin Jingyu, he is from the same village as young donor Zhang Xiaofan. Before leaving today, I checked all the children in Cao Miao Village and found that young donor Lin Jingyu also has excellent qualifications, so I brought him along."

Taoist Master Daoxuan was also surprised when listening to Puzhi's story. Children with such talents as Lin Bei and Lin Jingyu actually came from the same village?
This is really unexpected.

But Daoxuan was overjoyed immediately afterwards. What did the sect need most now?
That's naturally a talent.

Now, the monk Puzhi sent two children with top qualifications at once, one of whom was even amazing. Daoxuan was naturally surprised.
