Near the Tripping Horse Mountain in Donghuazhou, a wisp of white smoke flew into the air.

A middle-aged Taoist in his thirties, dressed in a shirt, stepped on the smoke.

Beside him, however, stood a young man of about ten years old, who was clutching his shirt tightly, feeling the whirring wind passing by his ears, looking at the mountains and peaks at his feet, his expression was both timid and excited.

The middle-aged Taoist smiled, he could have taken the cloud boat forward, but in order to exercise the courage of the newly recruited disciples, he deliberately flew away with Dansha.

After the initial nervousness and uneasiness, the boy became bolder, and shouted and screamed over the clouds.

The middle-aged Taoist smiled and didn't stop it, the young man's heart should have been so unrestrained, and when he returned to the door, the rest of the day was to sit and practice, waiting and watching for immortality, but it was no longer difficult to show his true nature like this.

The two walked for a long time, although the young man was still full of interest, but after all, his body had not yet grown up, and he was obviously a little tired after standing down for a long time.

The middle-aged Taoist touched his head and said, "Yu'er, bear with it first, this time the ancestor returned to the house, as a disciple of Zhaoyoumen, and he had to rush back as much as possible." ”

He is Zuo Hanzhang's disciple grandson, named Zeng Shangxing, and received a letter from the senior brother of the door a month ago, saying that the ancestor returned to the mountain and asked him to come back soon. When he received the news, he was still in Zhongzhuzhou, so he came out to travel, but he took a fancy to a disciple on the way, so he hurriedly went to pick it up, and then hurried back to Zhaoyou.

Yu'er raised her face and asked, "The ancestor is also the same as the master, can he fly as high as a big bird?"

Zeng Shangxing smiled and said: "The ancestor is a real person, and it is rumored that he waved his hand. can move mountains and seas, breathe the breath, and rise thunder and clouds, and this little bit of Taoism is nothing for the teacher. ”

Yu'er asked curiously, "Is that ancestor the immortal that my father said about it?"

Zeng Shangxing shook his head, but then touched his beard again and said, "Even if it is not a true immortal, in the eyes of my generation, it is not much worse." ”

At this time, he saw that Yu'er was not in good spirits, so he gently patted him on the back of the head and made him fall asleep. and went forward with all his heart.

There are a few more hours. It's getting late. Because he was in a hurry for days, he also felt a little uncomfortable at the moment, and looked at the road ahead, and then the past. It was entered into the various factions to respect the order of Mingcang. The altar array that was arranged was within the encirclement.

He hesitated. These altars are set up to explore the whereabouts of the disciples of the Demon Sect, and although they have talismans and disks in their homes, they can prove their identity. But along the way, you will inevitably have to be interrogated a lot, and you will only delay your efforts in vain.

At this time, he saw a white line on the surface of the ground winding to the east, he pondered for a moment, touched his sleeve again, and then had an idea, slowly put away the mana, descended to the clouds, and descended beside the river.

He took a talisman out of his sleeve and threw it down, swirling in the water, and then disappeared.

After waiting for about half a moment, I saw the water waves surging, and there was a sound of mooring, and a golden-scaled carp came out of it, the size of a foot and a foot, and a brocade saddle tied to its back, and a few glances at the two of them, and said in a mouth: "In the lower Yuyuan tribe, Ding Hao Lingmao, summoned by the magic talisman, dare to ask where the two are going?"

Zeng Shangxing made a joke and said, "Go to Zhaoyou Tianchi." ”

The carp spirit perked up and said, "But the lord of Zhaoyou Mansion returned to the mountain, and the two of them rushed to attend the ceremony?"

Zeng Shangxing was a little surprised, and said, "Daoist friends also know about this?"

The carp said proudly: "Don't underestimate me, my generation is here to welcome the send-off, and pass the news around, the things of the world, few people don't know, if the Taoist needs to ask anything, just come and ask the little demon." ”

Zeng Shangxing said with a smile: "Then you have to ask Daoist friends for advice." ”

"Where, where," the carp spirit said even more meaningfully, "the two of them have magic talismans in their hands, and the little demon should give them a ride, so please come up." ”

Zeng Shangxing picked up Yu'er with one hand, stepped on the back of the carp, and sat down on the saddle.

The carp spirit said: "The two of you sit tight." "As soon as the two fins under the water are divided, there is a white light, and the belly is close to the surface of the river, and it crosses the water like an arrow from the string.

This carp spirit may not be able to find anyone to talk to all the year round, it is rare to see a ferryman, all the way full of interest, pulling and talking, talking endlessly, Zeng Shangxing also dealt with a few words at the beginning, and then listened to it was also a little bored, pinched a trick, separated each other's voices, and then felt quiet.

The demon carp traveled through the river all night, and soon at dawn, Yu'er also woke up and turned around. Rubbing his eyes, he got up, shook Zeng Shangxing's arm again and again, and exclaimed, "Master, Master, look at it, it's a big fish." ”

Zeng Shangxing comforted him and said: "Don't be surprised, this is also a Taoist friend who has practice, don't look down on him." ”

Yu'er sighed and quieted down, but her face was still curious.

Zeng Shangxing said: "Apprentice, one more day, you can go to Zhaoyou Tianchi, but there are a few things to explain to you as a teacher." ”

Yu'er listened to his strict expression, and didn't dare to play, so she sat up straight.

Zeng Shangxing nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Walking in the door, you have your own rules, but you are young, and you are not officially included in the door wall, but you don't have to worry about it first, I will tell you something about the door first, under the seat of Zuo Zhenren, there are two beginner disciples, one is my teacher Shao Shenshen, and the other is your teacher Uncle Di Hui, after you arrive in the door, you can see ......"

It took him more than half an hour to roughly explain some of the people in the door, and finally said, "Do you remember?"

Yu'er said seriously: "The disciples have written it down." ”

Zeng Shangxing asked a few more casual questions, although Yu'er knew that he had listened to it once, but when he answered, he was quite satisfied, and secretly said: "Although Yu'er is not from Jiucheng, her qualifications are no worse than theirs, and when the teacher sees it, he must like it." ”

After another day on the water, at dawn on the second day, the fog on the river dissipated, Zeng Shangxing pointed to a green shadow on the edge of the sky and said: "Yu'er, look, over there is your ancestor Zhang Zhenren's cave mansion, where the Zhaoyou Tianchi is located." ”

Yu'er couldn't help but look at it with wide eyes.

Zeng Shangxing smiled, turned around, and said to the carp spirit: "Poor Dao is about to go to land, but I want to thank Daoyou for sending you all the way." ”

At this time, the carp spirit also guessed that the two were disciples of Zhaoyou, and he was suddenly a little restrained. He said repeatedly: "Don't dare, don't dare." "But I don't see the flexible appearance of yesterday.

Zeng Shangxing made a joke, and as soon as he stretched out the sleeves of his robe, a cloud of smoke floated under his feet, wrapped himself and his disciples, and flew straight into the air, flying in the direction of Zhaoyou.

Although I saw the shadow of the mountain, the road was not close, and I turned a few waterways, and flew for a day and a night. Finally before reaching the mountain. But see a curtain of water waterfall hanging down from the sky, look at the past, like a bead curtain broken jade, there are two floating islands in front of the waterfall. There are pavilions on it. At this moment, many monks are coming and going.

Originally, if you want to enter the Zhaoyou Mansion, you need to enter from top to bottom through the water of the Heavenly Pond. However, later, the number of disciples increased, and many junior disciples were inconvenient to walk, and if they did not borrow the Dharma weapon, they would not go at all.

In view of this, Liu Yanyi invited the spirit of the array to come forward, and opened another waterfall as a path here, but because of the convenience of coming and going, it has become a place of daily entry and exit for more than two hundred years, and there are few people at the main gate.

Zeng Shangxing glanced at it a few times, saw that many people in front of the door did not know, guessed that the various factions came to send gifts, he collected a little mana, and was about to go inside, but saw a group of more than 100 people coming in front of him, all of them riding a crane and stepping on a boat, the first one, with a high forehead and a straight nose, handsome eyebrows, a brocade robe, standing on a felt cart decorated with white feathers, and a few young monks on both sides came out and shouted: "Senior Brother Changsun is passing by, and he is not quickly retreating." ”

Many of the monks on both sides knew the identity of the person who came, and they went to the side early, and some of them who didn't know could also see that it was extraordinary, and they also avoided it and let a road come out.

Zeng Shangxing also retreated to the corner quietly.

The young monk in the car frowned when he saw this, as if he was very displeased with such a flamboyant act by the people next to him, but he didn't say anything, only sped up the car a few points.

Seeing that the group quickly entered the cave mansion, the monks on both sides were talking a lot, and one of them said: "Didn't the eldest grandson Daochang follow the example of Zhuang Zhenren in the past ten years ago and invite himself to go to the Little Demon Cave to suppress the demon?

Another person: "What do you know, I heard that after Zhang Zhenren returned to the mountain, it is very likely that he will choose a disciple to go to Shifeng Mountain to compete for the position of the top ten disciples, and the eldest grandson senior brother will talk about cultivation and longevity, which can be regarded as appropriate, how can he not come back? ”

The people who heard it on the side all showed a sudden realization.

Zeng Shangxing shook his head, Yu'er looked at it curiously, and asked, "Master, that person looks so majestic, I don't know who it is?"

Zeng Shangxing said: "That's your uncle Sun Qing, who is very valued by Zuo Zhenren on weekdays, but he is a little more lonely and taller, and he has some shortcomings, if you deal with his subordinates in the future, you would rather take a step back than offend him, not because you are afraid of him, but because you are involved in such things, it is not good for your cultivation." ”

Yu'er said honestly: "The disciple has written it down." ”

Zeng Shangxing walked through the waterfall curtain, took the disciple straight to his own teacher's cave house, after the door passed, he was called in, as soon as he got inside, he saw a white-haired old Taoist, full of kindness, it was his mentor Shao Shen, busy kneeling in front of the seat, respectfully kowtowing, Yu'er also knelt down together, he remembered the previous instructions, and then called the master.

Shao Daoren smiled: "Come in quickly." He glanced at Yu'er again and said, "Is it your new apprentice?"

Zeng Shangxing said yes.

Shao Daoren smiled and said, "It's also clever." He beckoned a boy to come over and led Yu'er down. Then he looked straight and said, "Fortunately, you came back in time, and I have something to say to you." ”

He paused, patted his knee, and said: "This time the ancestor returned to the house, there are rumors in the door that one person will be selected to compete for the top ten disciples, although I have not asked Zuo Shi about this matter, but I privately speculated, if there is such a thing, but you can't help but make a plan, you have been cultivating for more than two hundred years, and you have obtained the dual realm of Huadan, and you can also fight for it." ”

Zeng Shang was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "The disciple's cultivation is shallow, and his qualifications are ordinary, compared with many peers, it is even worse, and I am afraid of embarrassing the teacher." ”

Shao Daoren shook his head and said: "You, you, with my general temperament, always give in in the face of opportunities, how are you worse than that Changsun Qing? Now it is not as good as more than two hundred years ago, at that time, the pill exercises, because there are not many disciples under the sect, you can use them, now you are not fighting, how can you get immortality in the future? You will listen to the teacher, and when the ancestor comes back in a few days, you stand beside me, and you will not be able to enter the eyes of the ancestor. ”
