Some people were panicking, while others were so calm that they just stood quietly or meditated with their eyes closed.
"He must be a cultivator in the mortal world. Although he has no cultivation skills, his character of not changing his expression despite the collapse of Mount Tai is very good."
Suddenly there was some commotion from the east, and a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old wearing a simple samurai uniform kowtowed three times to the northwest. After he straightened up, his sad expression subsided, revealing a rebellious look.
There were still hidden tears in the corners of my eyes.
The uncle next to him comforted him and said, "Don't be afraid. I don't know where this is. Don't be so concerned about death."
The young man glared at him, "Who is scared!"
The uncle smiled happily.
Suddenly, the sound of string music came, gently, slowly, and melodiously, making everyone feel like they were in a fairyland. Amidst the music, the white mist that crowded around opened a path, revealing the stone steps.
The stone steps are as ordinary as a small stone road in a mountain city. It is very narrow and can only accommodate two people walking side by side. It is very steep, about four inches wide, and covered with moss. There are also weeds growing in some of the cracked stone cracks, but
It is so high that you cannot see the top of it.
The white mist on both sides of the stone steps began to recede, and the ancient trees reached the sky.
"Everyone, how are you doing all the way?"
There was loud laughter coming from the depths of the stone steps, and soon two men in white floated down, as if they appeared out of thin air.
"Immortals, there really are immortals." Someone shouted excitedly.
"Hahaha, we are not immortals, we are just cultivators. And now, we are the guides who will lead you to the path of cultivating immortals. I am Chongbai."
"Lou Yun."
When everyone looked at it, they saw that it was heavy and cheerful, and the building clouds were solemn, but they were all handsome and extraordinary. This is not about appearance, but bearing. It is extraordinary and extraordinary.
These two people are both assistant officers of Tianshu Palace. After they take the people away, they have to be selected by the Military Academy, Hongmeng Academy, and other colleges.
Chongbai took in everyone's expressions and said: "I know you have some doubts, so I will explain it to you now. This is Fangcun Mountain. Those who are destined to see it can enter this mountain and set foot on it from then on."
Building roads is not in the mortal world."
"To practice Taoism is to become an immortal."
"It turns out that the words were not a lie."
"I am so lucky."
Everyone was extremely happy, but Chong Bai suddenly let out a loud groan. Most of them looked in pain and fell to the ground. A few stood with normal expressions. He glanced at the standing people and felt slightly satisfied.
This hum he made was called "breaking the delusional roar", and it only affected people with delusional thoughts.
"The road to cultivating Taoism is extremely dangerous. Opportunities often coexist with dangers. It is not as simple as you think. Listen carefully. Cultivating Taoism does not take many years. If you enter this mountain, you will abandon everything in the world."
After speaking, he paused for a moment, as if to give everyone a buffer, "If any of you are unwilling, you can withdraw now."
"Can't we even go home once?"
"How can we be so forward-looking and hesitant in the past?" Lou Yun said coldly.
"That's not true," Chong Bai added with a smile, "You can go back in the future, but the purpose is mostly to resolve mundane cause and effect."
"I still have a wife and children at home."
"I can't bear to leave my parents."
...
"Okay, those who are staying will stand on the right, and those who are leaving will stand on the left." Lou Yun gave the command simply, while Chong Bai went to appease the six or seven-year-old children.
The children still don’t know how they got here, and they don’t know what monasticism is. But Chongbai still respects their decision. Those who want to go home can go home, and those who want to stay can stay and leave it to their parents to take care of them.
Just a dream will do.
After a while, two groups of people stood up, and less than 10% chose to leave. They had regrets on their faces but were determined. There must be someone they couldn't let go of, and something they must complete.
Lou Yun waved his sleeves and robe, and those people were enveloped in the glow. When the light dissipated, there was no one in the place. This hand made everyone's eyes scorch, oh, this is magic.
He pointed at the stone steps and said, "After passing the stone steps, you will reach another realm. Go up now."
Chong Bai held out a spirit boat and said, "Children and the elderly who are not strong enough can come and ride the boat. Others who don't want to climb can also come."
Many people still have doubts about the word "him". Shouldn't there be some test? Are these stone steps really just stone steps and nothing important?
So they all chose to climb by themselves.
Chong Bai said to Lou Yun, "Look, people are very suspicious. We are responsible for guiding them, not for testing them."
"I borrowed it, I borrowed it." One person squeezed forward, and soon passed four or five more people. The crowd speeded up, all trying to get in front.
Lou Yun said, "It's good to be a little competitive, but those children and old people shouldn't be tired. When they can't survive, just pick them back up in the boat. The road is quite long and it takes a lot of effort to climb."
Fangcun Mountain is located in the void, with many small realms connected to it on one side, and mountains and seas on the other. If you want to go back and forth, you have to climb over the top of the mountain on both sides.
Huajian dismissed the water curtain and said, "With Fangcun Mountain here, Taiyi can always look for people with deep connections in the small world, and there is no need to worry about the lack of strength for those who are behind."
Zhan Changfeng praised, "That's very good. Thank you for your hard work. Let Tianshu Palace take charge of Fangcun Mountain."
She still has some worries about the Seventh Palace, Tianxuan Palace, Ling Weichu abdicated, Yan Ce took over, Tianji Palace, Lianwei abdicated, Jin Buhuan took over, Yuheng Palace, Zhao Xuan abdicated, Yu Yao took over, Kaiyang Palace
Gong Bonan can stay for another few hundred years, and the Yaoguang Palace, where the military training corps is concentrated, can be left alone for the time being.
As for Tianquan Hall, Yu Sheng is about to abdicate, and there is still no candidate.
Tianshu Palace... If the War Palace is completed in the future, it will be a larger and broader military institution than Tianshu Palace. It will take a while to watch. Who should hand over the Palace to that day?
There is no one to choose, so Hua Jianci can only take care of both ends.
Zhan Changfeng said with concern, "Now that the War Palace has officially opened, you are the only one in charge, how busy can you be?"
Hua Jianci has recently been delegating power to the Tianshu Palace, giving more opportunities to the assistant officials. However, in the Tianshu Palace, there are those who are good at coordinating, some who are good at arranging troops, some who are good at burying their heads in paperwork, and some who are good at military affairs.
Some of those who shouted in front were good at setting up defenses, but none were particularly comprehensive.
Hua Jianci thought about this and said, "The War Palace is also a place where people are wandering around. Let's find a few more useful talents as soon as possible to prepare for the Heavenly Officials of the Imperial Court. This time, there will be a battle between the Heavenly Officials and the Heavenly Generals and the monks of the War Palace.
The Taoist Association can be used as an important observation point."
"Let's wait until later." Zhan Changfeng has considered that if Huajian resigns, he may have to reduce the power of Tianshu chief and remove the over-level command.
When Hua Jianci was the chief officer, he could even give emergency command to the Fire Department, Water Department, and Venerable Zhao Xuan Dragon Turtle, which were not part of the Seven Halls system.
Narrowing the scope of power and reducing the responsibilities of the Tianshu Chief Officer may make it easier for newcomers to take up this responsibility.
