extremist god

After participating in the ancestor worship ceremony of the Chen clan, the Xinshan Taoist did not stop, but bid farewell in a hurry, instead of returning to the Taoist temple, he turned a corner and ran to the house where Chen Youniao lived.

Uncle Wang recognized him and didn't dare to neglect him, so he hurriedly saluted him.

"Where's your young master?"

Xinshan Taoist didn't want to talk to an old servant, so he went directly to the right master.

Uncle Wang smiled and said: "It's a coincidence that the head of the fairy came. My young master is practicing in seclusion and can't see guests."

Taoist Xinshan snorted coldly: "What are you practicing? Hugh use that set of rhetoric to fool the poor Taoist, you go in and report, and say that I have something urgent to find him."

Uncle Wang said with a bitter face: "It's really impossible, my young master has already told me that unless he comes out, I won't come into the house to disturb you."

"you!"

After being shut down, Taoist Xinshan was quite annoyed, wishing he could just break in and drag that guy out.

Before he could lose his temper, another person came over there.

An old Taoist.

He is an acquaintance and a member of the Dao Ting Governor's Mansion.

Taoist Xinshan rushed to meet him, and said, "I've seen fellow Taoist Cangsong."

That Cangsong glanced at him, and said politely: "It turns out that you are a fellow Taoist from Xinshan, why are you here?"

"I came to look for Chen Daoyou, but his servants said that he was in retreat and no outsiders were seen. This is strange. Chen Daoyou is just a newly promoted Taoist priest. What's the matter that makes him want to retreat?"

Taoist Xinshan said dissatisfied.

Everyone is an insider, and the matter of the initial stage of cultivation is very clear, so who are you bluffing?

You must know that it is not easy to retreat into concentration.Not to mention anything else, just eating and drinking is a trouble.If Chen Youniao said he wanted to study behind closed doors, the Xinshan Taoist would still believe it.

Taoist Cangsong was slightly taken aback, but he didn't care what Chen Youniao was doing hiding at home, it was his freedom, and he didn't have his turn to take care of it, and he didn't want to, so he stepped forward and asked Uncle Wang.

Uncle Wang's rhetoric is exactly the same.

Taoist Cangsong listened, and said: "How about this, you wait for him to leave the customs, tell him that his affairs have been successfully completed, and you can come to the Dudu Mansion to receive the reward."

Uncle Wang hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Immortal Chief, I will definitely report to my young master."

Taoist Cangsong nodded, turned and left.

Taoist Xinshan over there heard it, followed him, and asked in a low voice, "What business did Fellow Daoist Chen take, and it ended so soon?"

Taoist Cangsong chuckled: "Fellow Taoist of Xinshan, you are also a member of the Taoist court, so you should know the rules. The affairs you accept are classified as confidential and must not be leaked."

Taoist Xinshan looked embarrassed: "I'm just curious, so I asked a lot. Hey, it seems that Chen Daoyou is going to get rich, so I should let him treat me to dinner."

The tone of his speech seemed to be very familiar with Chen Youniao, as if he was a very good friend.

Taoist Cangsong sighed: "This child's chance is very good, it seems not easy..."

I suddenly felt that I had said too much, so I stopped immediately, bowed my hands, and returned to the Dudu's mansion.

Watching him go away, Taoist Xinshan's expression changed, and he returned to Yunshan Taoist temple in dismay.

The Taoist temple was built on a mountain called "Yunshan", hence the name.

The mountain is lonely and dangerous, towering into the clouds, and the peak is shrouded in clouds and mist all the year round. From a distance, it looks like a fairyland.Although compared with the Four Great Daoist Temples, it is difficult to beat horses, but Yunshan Mountain can be regarded as a famous mountain in the boundary of Haidai County.

Nowadays, there are nine Taoist priests and dozens of Taoist boys in the Yunshan Taoist Temple, which is quite a number, and they seem to be a local force that cannot be underestimated.

Generally speaking, the Taoist temple is under the jurisdiction of the Taoist court, but the form of jurisdiction is quite loose, and the Taoist temple itself has considerable autonomy.

After entering the Taoist temple, Taoist Yunshan went to see the presiding priest Yunya.

This is a cultivator who has lived for more than a hundred years, has successfully refined Qi, and has become a "Taoist Priest".It is said that he is one step away from "transforming the gods", as long as he steps over, he can become a "real person".However, this step seems close, but in fact it is so far away, and I don't know how many practitioners are blocked from the door.At Yunya's age, his whole life would probably be like this.

Cultivation is not easy.

Especially in the current era, for some reason, the cultivation environment is getting worse and worse.Not only the large and small Taoist temples below, but also the four high-level Taoist temples, their disciples are also struggling to make progress. As for the Taoist boys at the bottom, there are fewer and fewer Taoist priests who can break through the mountains and become Taoists every year.

It's strange to say that these Taoist boys had a high level of aptitude when they were young, but they were taken up the mountain and practiced hard, but it was difficult to pass the training, and they had to be sent home in the end.

The path of cultivation is becoming more and more difficult.

This is the consensus within the Dao Court.

People with supernatural powers calculated the hexagrams and found out the hexagrams, saying that it was because of the turmoil in the world caused by the resurgence of humanity.

In a word: the son does not talk about strange power and confusion.

Humanity prospers, Confucianism is established as the orthodoxy, and those with strange powers and chaotic gods are gradually marginalized, and they are constantly suppressed and excluded, and may even be unable to practice in the end.

This situation once caused great panic, confusion, and even rebellion within the Dao Court.But then they were all suppressed, and now no one dares to mention it.

After all, the Dao Court is under the control of the imperial court.

Cultivating the Tao is difficult, and after decades of hard training, it is still nothing in the end. In this case, it is better to enjoy yourself in time and enjoy the prosperity of the world.

Many cultivators think so, including Taoist Xinshan.Relying on the little magic methods he mastered, as well as magic tools and other things, he was able to get along well.There are mansions in the city, and there are beautiful wives and concubines in the house. The fly in the ointment is that they have worked hard for many years, but they still have no children.

This is also one of the side effects of cultivating Taoism.

With extraordinary power, one has to pay a considerable price.

It's not that you can't reproduce, it's just that it's much more difficult than normal people, and the requirements for women are much higher.

"I've seen Senior Brother Yunya."

In the Taoist temple, the Xinshan Taoist saluted and said.

Daoist Yunya sat upright at the top, with white hair and no childlike face, and dark brown spots appeared on his cheeks, which indicated that he had passed his prime and was irretrievably entering old age.

It is said that cultivating the Tao can lead to longevity and immortality, but that was a long time ago, so long that it has become a kind of legend.

There are four stages of Taoism, refining essence to transform qi, refining qi to transform spirit, refining spirit to return to emptiness, and refining emptiness to join the Tao.

In fact, no one has practiced the last "refinement and harmony", which cut off the inheritance of true skills.Even the third stage of "practicing spirit and returning to emptiness" is also in a state of incompleteness.

In the torrent of time, the big waves washed away the sand, and many personnel and affairs slowly disappeared.

This is a general trend that cannot be stopped or restored by humans.

Taoist Master Yunya is old, and once he dies, the position of Yunshan Taoist Master will be vacant. Although he has disciples, but the disciples are not up to date, and their cultivation is sloppy. Therefore, there are many variables in this position competition and covetousness.

The Xinshan Taoist is eager to win, so he secretly recruits people to form a force and grab the position.

He went to Chen Youniao to join the group, based on this idea, as long as Chen Youniao nodded and agreed, and entered the Taoist temple, it meant that he was a Taoist of Xinshan.

It's a shame that Chen Youniao doesn't know how to praise, he is young, but he is not coaxed, and he doesn't take the bait at all.

Taoist Master Yunya asked calmly: "Junior Brother Xinshan, where did you go today?"

"The Chen family in the city worships their ancestors, please drink."

"Hehe, Junior Brother is really living a comfortable life."

Taoist Xinshan chuckled, "It's all about saving face."

Taoist Priest Yunya looked solemn: "Okay, let's get back to business. I received a letter from the Taoist court about the selection of Taoist girls next year. This matter is no small matter. If the Taoist girls we present can be selected, there will be a lot of money Meritorious rewards, it is said that the winner will also get a real secret book of "Refining Qi and Transforming God"."

"Taoist girl draft? That's right, it's been another three years in a flash."

The Xinshan Taoist was a little bit embarrassed.

Daoist Yun Ya said: "You often walk around the county, and you are familiar with all aspects. From now on, you must pay attention to the search to see if there are any girls with good qualifications."

"Here."

Xinshan Taoist responded immediately, and suddenly, the image of a young girl with ethereal and beautiful temperament flashed in his mind.
