The first day of spring.
It has the meaning of the beginning of all things and the rebirth of all things.
It is both the beginning of the four seasons and the first year of the year.
By the time Chen Ping'an returned from the solar term courtyard at the top of Suishan Mountain to the Demon Tower in Tongyezhou Town, the Holy Master and Chunyang Taoist were no longer there.
Only Xiao Mo, who was wearing a yellow hat, green shoes and a green bamboo cane, stood in the corridor on the top floor accompanied by Qing Tong, who was wearing a green robe.
Chen Ping'an put the night tour behind him again and prepared to go home. This time he left Xiandu Mountain with Xiao Mo, entered the Demon Town Tower, and walked into Zou Zi's secret instructions and Qing Tong's own hands.
The twelve illusory worlds were laid out, and then he traveled to dozens of landscape temples in his dream. At the Fenhe Temple in Mengliang Kingdom, he met Lu Chen again, and then they climbed Mount Huangliang Sect together...
Compared with all my previous travels, according to the real scale of time, it actually took a short time. However, if you count the journey of mountains and rivers in the twelve scrolls, plus the journey of your heart, it really feels like a lifetime ago.
Qing Tong saw the young hermit official who was busy with work, and hesitated to speak. Of course he wanted to participate in the celebration of the next sect on the Xiandu Mountain, but it was difficult to say it for a while. In fact, Qing Tong had already made up his mind, and he must embrace it.
Xiandushan's thighs will never let Chen Ping'an run away like this tonight.
In Qingtong's view, it is no longer that important for a scholar who can beat the spring drum for the Literary Sage after thousands of years to be a close disciple of the Literary Sage.
Qing Tong even speculated that as long as Chen Ping'an is willing and willing to work hard in this direction, he will be the deputy leader of the Confucian Temple in the future.
Chen Pingan looked at Qing Tong, who wanted to speak but stopped talking several times, and asked with a smile: "Senior Qing Tong, do you have something to say?"
Qing Tong smiled awkwardly and gave up a little.
The other party no longer calls him by his first name, and he is not even a fellow Taoist Qingtong. Haha, senior Qingtong may seem to be friendly, but in fact he is very different.
It's obvious that he wants to burn bridges across the river and draw a clear line between himself and the Demon-Suppressing Tower.
In fact, after traveling far away with Chen Ping'an and spending a long time with this young hermit official who he once mistakenly thought was Zheng Juzhong of Baidi City, Qing Tong felt that he had some ability to know the subtleties, play tricks, talk about Zen tricks, and observe people's emotions.
I know the elegant meaning after hearing the string.
Xiao Mo couldn't stand Qing Tong's nagging and nagging, delaying his young master's journey, so he said bluntly: "Sir, Qing Tong wants to participate in the celebration of the next sect in Xiandu Mountain."
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "It's a small thing, it's just a matter of attending the ceremony. Fellow Taoist Qingtong, don't think too much about it. I just feel that Xiandu Shandu didn't send out the invitation, which is inconsistent with etiquette. I'm worried that I'm treating fellow Taoist Qingtong in a slow way."
Qing Tong coughed quickly and signaled Xiao Mo to finish what he said and stop being so sloppy.
This journey of traveling around the mountains and rivers has no merit but hard work. You, Xiandu Mountain, should be given the title of "chief" no matter what.
Besides, a great monk in the Ascension Realm, let alone the host of half of Tongye Continent, actually needs to beg people to be worshiped as a sect. Guest, if it is spread, it will be a big joke.
Xiao Mo said: "Qing Tong also wants to be the registered worshipper or guest of the Qingping Sword Sect. Just after we chatted, he wanted me to help with a few words. I said that this may involve adding a seat for the ancestor of the lower sect.
As for the important matter of the chair, I am just a registered worshiper of Luo Lo Mountain. Of course, it doesn’t count. Whether it succeeds or not has to be decided by the young master himself. Besides, our Luo Lo Mountain is not a one-man show, so it must be quite difficult."
Chen Ping'an suddenly realized, thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Qing Tong, if you are willing to condescend to attend the ceremony, and then be a registered guest to worship the guest, of course Xiandu Mountain will be prosperous because of this, which is really a good thing that you can only dream of. But Xiaomo
I really didn’t mean to deceive you. When it comes to the next matter, my student Cui Dongshan and I have already made an agreement. I almost never interfere and leave it all to Cui Dongshan. It’s really hard to make exceptions for anyone and break the rules. Besides, even if it’s
At the Shangzong Luopo Mountain, I held a meeting at the Patriarch Hall. I blamed myself for being unreliable. During the years after I became the mountain master, I was used to being a hands-off shopkeeper who never saw anyone. I was away from the mountain all the year round. Everyone had grievances.
Well, there are many things they deliberately do to make me angry and contradict me."
Xiao Mo immediately followed up, "So when I saw Qing Tong before, I didn't seem to believe it, so I gave a ready-made example. Cui Xianshi, the proud student of the young master at that time and now the first sect master of Xiandu Mountain, vouched for the recommendation of sect master Jiang Lao.
Serving as the chief worshiper of Luo Luo Mountain was not without some objections. The process was quite tortuous. I heard from Protector Zhou that at that time, there was a quarrel in the Jise Peak Patriarch Hall, and it was almost a huge quarrel. It was not easy for him to become Luo Luo.
Chief Mountain."
Qing Tong said with a straight face: "If you are really in trouble, just pretend I didn't mention it."
No matter how much you love me, I really don’t want to serve you anymore.
Chen Ping'an is smiling, and you are trying to get along with me. I really don't like you.
Xiao Mo reminded her from the bottom of her heart: "While the young master has just traveled far away, Qing Tong has emptied several rooms of his treasures that have been collected for many years. Judging from the situation, they are going to be used as celebration gifts."
Chen Ping'an glared at Xiao Mo, "Why don't you tell me this kind of thing straight to the point? Master Yin Guan immediately raised his voice and let out a long sigh, "How can fellow Taoist Qing be so angry? Don't do this, just rely on it.
My friendship with Qingtong, the term "fellow Taoist" is simply a term tailor-made for the three of us. In public and private matters, in terms of emotion and reason, Xiaomo and I should strongly recommend one or two to you in the future.
Try to get a chair from Qingpingfeng Ancestral Hall!"
Qingtong nodded.
He seems to be still angry.
Before leaving the Demon Suppressing Building, Chen Ping'an suddenly smiled and said: "Qing Tong, let's not talk about anything else. I'm just talking about 'fellow Taoist friends'. I am very sincere and sincere."
Qingtong nodded and said, "I only believe this sentence."
Xiaomo glanced at his young master.
Chen Pingan nodded quietly, understanding.
This Taoist fellow Qingtong is different from the past, and he is not easy to deceive.
Afterwards, Chen Pingan took the lead in twisting the Three Mountain Talisman. Qing Tong was quite surprised, but remained calm.
Is it because he is in a hurry to return to Xiandu Mountain, or does it mean that Chen Ping'an now uses this great talisman without consuming merit?
With the help of the Shuchi Mountain River of the Three Mountains Talisman, in a few blinks of an eye, we arrived at a mountain.
We are already in the realm of Qingping Sword Sect. The three mountains of Xiandu, Yunzheng, and Chumiao stand side by side, forming a pattern of one master and two auxiliaries.
I am Cao Feng on Mount Qimiao. This place is where Cao Qinglang retreats.
Including Yunzheng Mountain, the two mountains are still covered by the formation.
The three mountains were once the old mountain ruins of Tongyezhou. After Cui Dongshan's careful construction and repairs, they have taken on a new look.
On the main peaks of the two mountains, steles were erected on the tops of the mountains respectively, which were inscribed in Cui Dongshan's own handwriting, with the words "My Cao cannot come out" and "The Purple Qi of Heaven and Earth".
Chen Ping'an, who carries a sword in a green shirt, Xiao Mo, who wears a yellow hat, green shoes and a green bamboo cane, and Qing Tong, who is dressed in a green robe and has a handsome appearance.
There are green bamboo forests in the mountains. The wind shakes the bamboo forest, and the whole mountain is full of rhythm. There is a quiet stream below, and its sound is sometimes loud and sometimes soft.
The three of them were walking along the water, and the stream among the bamboo forests was gurgling. There were rocks above the water, and there were clumps of cattails, which were green and lovely.
There are many small pools formed by concave rocks in the water. The water in the pool is particularly clear and deep, and there are many fish swimming around.
There are many bamboo bushes on both sides of the stream. Under the bamboo bushes, the rocks are clustered together like teeth, reflecting in the water, like cattle and horses drinking in the stream.
Chen Ping'an introduced with a smile: "The main peak of Yunzheng Mountain elsewhere, Wu Cao Peak, will be the dojo of Cui Dongshan, the sect leader of the lower sect. He also serves as the first mountain master of Yunzheng Mountain. In addition to the abbot, he will
For a specific matter, a wide range of disciples will be recruited. Taoism, swordsmanship, boxing, talismans, alchemy, formations, economic methods, etc. will be divided into categories and each will accept disciples. After today's daytime ceremony, the first Qing Dynasty
During Pingfeng’s discussion, Cui Dongshan will also propose that among the young genealogy monks who will become Qingping Sword Sect in the future, the first swordsman to reach the Jade Pu realm can take over Cao Feng and serve as the second mountain master."
"And the Jingxing Peak under our feet, not the entire Cimu Mountain, will be temporarily handed over to Cao Qinglang, who is in retreat here to form elixirs, because Cao Qinglang is the first Taoist cultivator at Jingxing Peak, and he will also
There is no doubt that he will be the next sect leader. Both the upper and lower sects have known this for a long time. Then Qingping Sword Sect has another tradition, which is an unwritten rule.
Starting from the sect leader Cao Qinglang, the third sect leader and all the next sect leaders will be the peak masters of Jingxing Peak. In this regard, we obviously learned from the Jiuyi Peak of the Jade Gui Sect."
"Since the name of the sect is Qingping Sword Sect, of course it is based on swordsmanship. As the ancestral mountain, Xiandu Mountain is the place where future sword cultivators will settle. Yunzheng Mountain may be responsible for hosting pure martial artists, except Cui
Dongshan, the lower sect also has Mr. Zhong, and Sui Youyou from Banxian Peak. In addition, we have a very good relationship with Pushan, so it is not a big problem to teach boxing. On the side of Qimiao Mountain, there are hundreds of qi practitioners from various schools.
There will be some."
Qing Tong was actually not very interested in these sect affairs. Hearing what Chen Ping'an was talking about beside him fell in his ears, and it just flowed away slowly like a stream, not in his mind.
However, when it comes to the candidates for the inheritance of a sect, hereditary secret methods are no small matter in any mountaintop fairy house. However, at this moment, Chen Ping'an is calm and a little light. In fact, it is very important for the future genealogy of Qingping Sword Sect.
For a monk, it may be countless love and hatred, and the ups and downs of people's hearts. Therefore, Chen Ping'an did not regard his fellow disciples as outsiders.
Xiao Mo smiled and said: "Friend Qing Tong, I have heard about many things for the first time, so don't be so absent-minded."
Qing Tong looked helpless, but he said something hidden in his mind: "I can't take out a booklet and write down these words one by one."
Xiao Mo smiled and said: "I built a dojo at the foot of Xiandu Mountain, in a place that was just named Luobaotan. I believe that in the future I will be worshiping with Qing Tong or being a guest with Qing Tong, and we will often talk to each other about old times.
"
Qing Tong's face turned stiff.
Chen Pingan asked abruptly: "In all these years, you haven't recruited a few disciples to teach Taoism or boxing?"
After all, Qingtong is an Ascension Realm monk who is half as good as a warrior in the End of the Realm. And with Qingtong's temperament of frequenting Lotus Flower Paradise, at first glance, he doesn't seem to like someone who likes to live too lonely a life.
Qing Tong shook his head and said with a smile: "It has never happened before."
The main reason is because he is in charge of the demon tower and his responsibilities are too special. Qing Tong would not dare to accept disciples casually for fear that he would make himself smelly. Moreover, the old temple master of the East China Sea and the master of the Bixiao Cave also once said to him unceremoniously.
