The distance from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain is very long, and the Heart Mirror makes this distance even longer and out of reach.
People who are running wildly may collapse on the stone stairs because they have exhausted all their strength, while people who are moving forward steadily may be stuck in an illusion.
Only the spiritual platform was clear and the monks full of endurance reached the top of the mountain.
A Taoist priest wearing a Hunyuan scarf and dharma robes stood in front of Chaotian Temple, followed by several Taoist priests behind him, "I am your introduction master, Taoist Qianhe."
The introduction master is the Taoist who guides the monks to perform rituals. He expounded the procedures and rules of the crown scarf conference in a loud voice, read the origin of the crown scarf ritual, and said, "Why do we wear the crown scarf? It is naturally to clear the origin and obtain the true origin."
With the support of the Patriarch's Taoist power, the path of cultivation will be less bumpy. After receiving the crown, Baozou Tianting will be registered with the Patriarch of the three religions, the ancestors of each Taoism, and the Gods of all directions. At that time, the merits will be complete, and the Great Dao will be attained.
With the protection of the gods, even if you cannot ascend, you will not fall into the reincarnation of the animal realm."
"Some monks do not uphold Taoism, do not follow Taoist rituals, do not abstain from anger and arrogance, and try to force themselves to wear the crown. Ghosts and gods will laugh at them. Such monks are not qualified to join the sect."
Taoist Qianhe glanced at the faces of the monks below, "Today Zhan Changfeng, Taishuyang, Lihua, Xie Baiyao, Li Long, Yan Heng, and Zhensu are participating in the crown scarf conference. Please first receive the robes, shoes, and essentials of the scriptures.
Take a bath and burn incense in the monastery, and meditate for six days until the conference begins."
"Here!"
The monks took their robes, shoes, socks, and scripture essentials from the hands of those on the trail, followed the instructions to the monastery in the mountain, and each chose a room to enter.
Zhan Changfeng bathed, burned incense, and studied scriptures every day. It was not that he had not read these scriptures before. It was necessary to read them carefully. It was just a way of meditating.
But not everyone can stay in their room for six whole days without going out. On the evening of the third day, someone knocked on the door. It was the martial arts cultivator named Yan Heng.
"I'm disturbing fellow Taoists. It's boring to practice all day long. A few of us have set up a fruit and vegetable spiritual water in the forest. We might as well chat together and discuss the principles of practice."
During the retreat period, you are not allowed to drink wine that is fishy or fishy, and you can only drink fruit and vegetable water. Of course, this is not the point, the latter sentence is.
Zhan Changfeng followed his heart and put down the scriptures and said, "That's too much trouble."
Yan Heng grinned, "I saw that fellow Taoist has never left the house. I guess he is a serious person and is afraid of disturbing fellow Taoist's Qingxiu."
"If your mind is calm, it doesn't matter where you go or what you do."
"That's right, that's right!"
There were handfuls of fruits and vegetables held on lotus leaves on a tree stump in the forest, with bamboo cups and a pot of spiritual water beside them.
Yan Heng said, "The fruits and vegetables were picked by Li Hua in the forest, the bamboo cup was made of pure raw materials, and the spiritual water was brought by Li Long. We use local materials for convenience. You can sit wherever you like."
As expected, you can sit anywhere and there is no decent stool.
The demon cultivator named Pear Blossom was lying on a branch, tossing a red fruit up and down, crossing her legs and enjoying herself. When she saw someone coming, she waved her hand as a greeting.
The woman named Zhensu is a practitioner of Dharma. She is sitting cross-legged on a big stone, quiet and dignified.
And there was Li Long lying on the ground and shouting, "Let me slow down first. Who knew that the spiritual spring was guarded by someone? He was almost caught and had to go all the way around the mountain before he dared to come back."
Zhensu joked, "Then you must be the first monk to be kicked out of the Crown Scarf Conference for stealing spring water."
"Hey, none of you can escape, you are all accomplices."
"Tai Shuyang must have failed to work together." Xie Baiyao looked unhappy, "I invited you kindly, but I received a cold look."
Zhan Changfeng sat somewhere casually. Expecting that these monks were already familiar with each other, Yan Heng smiled and picked up Xie Baiyao's words, "Everyone has their own temperament, but have you noticed that our introduction master is actually Tuofanqiang?"
Or, my God, I still can’t believe it. Didn’t it say that they were all brought in by the seniors of Foundation Establishment?”
"Could it be because of Tai Shuyang? I heard that he comes from one of the seven aristocratic families and is also a rare genius." Li Long gossiped.
"Come on." Xie Baiyao said with contempt, "The relationship between the princes of the Seventh Family and Hengdu is not very good at the moment. Chaotian Guanhui made an exception for a member of his small family?"
He openly commented on the relationship between the Seventh Family, various princes and Hengdu, which shocked the few people who heard it. Yan Heng said, "You really dare to say that."
"There's nothing I dare not say."
Yan Heng's eyes were focused and he looked at Xie Baiyao carefully, "To be honest, most of the people in the family I have met are cautious in their words and deeds. Even if they want to do bad things, they would hide their swords in a smile, which will make you unable to find the north invisibly, or they will be raised like that.
You are a crippled evil young woman who is domineering and ignorant. I thought you were also the latter, but I never expected that you could pass the inquiry. Could it be that you have stuffed a treasure into Chaotian Temple?"
"Let's go, do you need a gift?" He took a sip of spring water, bit into the fruit, and faced a few curious and probing eyes, and laughed and cursed, "I hate the rules the most. It can package you into another person. I'm so talented.
Don’t do this.”
"What do you mean by being honest and moral? Don't you think about what you have in mind? You have to cover it up with a good reputation. It's dirty on the inside. I'm different. My face is dirty just as my heart is dirty. If you don't accept it, beat me up.
."
A piece of fruit hit him on the head. Xie Baiyao jumped up and became furious, "Donkey spirit, you ask for a beating!"
The demon cultivator took out another fruit and said, "I've wanted to beat you up for a long time. Finally, I'm not a donkey spirit, I'm a tree demon, the kind that can bloom pear blossoms."
"It turns out to be the pear tree demon! I asked you why you have a delicate fragrance on your body. I thought the demon also wore fragrance and powder."
Seeing her wipe the fruit and eat it, Xie Baiyao put down his guard.
Everyone looked at it with interest, and Zhensu sighed, "A theory like that of fellow Taoist Xie is also rare. It is another kind of appearance and appearance. However, if the mind is never clear enough and the face is always rough, it will be difficult to cultivate the mind."
Yan Heng: "At least thanks to fellow Taoist, one thing is good. There are evil words but no evil deeds."
Xie Baiyao waved his hand, "I know there is something wrong with me, but I don't know how to do it. When I find a true-hearted person who laughs and curses just like me, I will worship him as my teacher and become a real person."
also!"
"Fellow Daoist Xie has already set a goal. What about you, which ancestor do you plan to worship during the ceremony?" Yan Heng sat down and said seriously, "I practice martial arts and want to worship the ancestors of martial arts."
Li Long also said, "I'm the same as you. What I admire most is the great disciple of Martial Ancestor, Zonghan Martial Master. It is said that he can shift an entire world with one hand. This power is aspirational."
Zhensu, "I have admired the freedom of immortals for a long time, and should worship and enter the immortal gate. I will not be disturbed by the world of mortals, and I will not be immersed in the chaos of the Nine Heavens."
Seeing their opinions, Zhan Changfeng said honestly, "I don't have a particular path that I want to follow, so I should take heaven and earth as my teacher."
"Hahaha, fellow Taoist, you can think about it slowly. You are just registering a number, how can you really get what you want?"
"Oh, actually I want to worship every Taoist lineage. Maybe with luck, I can actually join the sect and practice in the future."
"Aren't you afraid that the ancestors will think you are too greedy and don't even want you?"
"Hey, I know my qualifications. It will be great if I can find a gang to settle down in the future." Li Long laughed at himself.
The others also stopped talking. There is still a huge gap between ideals and reality. They are sitting here today. Maybe they will go to the secret realm and steal the power for their livelihood later.
The demon on the tree said slowly, "I want to become an immortal, a supreme immortal."
