At this moment, the old Taoist spoke first.

"It sounds like it's fate. Pindao was out on this trip and originally intended to take on a disciple. He thought he was destined to Qingyao, but now that he thinks about it, before he picked up Qingyao, he heard about the little layman first."

"I don't know when?"

Lin Jue couldn't help but feel very puzzled.

"After I asked for help to eliminate the demon, I met a layman named Wei on the way to Danxun. He said that there was a demon in his home and asked me to go and have a look." The old Taoist said with a smile, "I

After arriving in Danxun, we first went to the City God's Temple to visit the gods and inquire about the situation. I didn't want to take care of it at first, but I just happened to pass by on the way and wanted to take a look."

Lin Jue was surprised when he heard this.

"What day is that?"

"The day when the little layman got rid of the demon."

"So that's it." Lin Jue became more and more surprised, "That's really fate."

"The young layman is really a bit chivalrous. He has only practiced Qi nourishing methods for several years, but he dares to go to the Wei family to eliminate demons."

"It's complicated to say."

Lin Jue sighed and then said:

"It's all because Wei Yuanzhong is quite a thief. He talked to me and invited me to dinner on the pretext that I killed two strange monkeys in Danxun. I thought he respected my courage. When I realized what I was doing,

The food was eaten and the wine was drunk, and the clothes were washed by him. If he didn't agree, he would be embarrassed.

"Secondly, I have seen monsters in the village, and I also saw monsters on the way out to seek enlightenment. Not only did I rely on my courage to turn the corner, but I also relied on my courage to be calm and composed. This courage cannot be lost.

"What's more, his brother borrowed a knife from me.

"Finally, I also want to meet monsters."

"You do have some courage." The old Taoist asked again, "Then why did you dare to kill that strange monkey when you were outside the city?"

"That strange monkey hurt my books, papers and luggage, which made me angry."

"Just because I have a book and luggage, do I have to be in danger?"

"The Taoist priest doesn't know something. My family is poor. The scrolls and the books in them were all gifts from others. The water bottle was made by my uncle himself. It was damaged by those strange monkeys. If I don't take revenge... it doesn't matter to say it, but in my heart

It’s really hard to conquer! What’s more, there are warriors accompanying us, so why not?”

"You are a bit of a charlatan." The old Taoist shook his head, "Do you know that when I hear your name, it will be before this."

"Um?"

"Two days ago, I came along the official road and passed by a deserted mountain bamboo forest. I stayed in a temple with a business traveler and heard an interesting story."

The old Taoist said with a smile.

The girl next to him opened her eyes wide and looked at Lin Jue.

"I heard that one night some time ago, a little scholar frightened away the monsters on the road and returned the merchant's lost mule. The monk in the courtyard thought that he was brave and kind, so he invited him to stay in the attic alone. The monsters in the attic also

Thinking that he was brave and kind-hearted, they invited him to talk and laugh all night, and entrusted him with his bones and part of the money. I thought he was a man of his word, but unexpectedly they found out the next day that they had only asked the scholar to take part of it.

The money was given to the scholar as a token of gratitude, but the scholar took it all away, leaving nothing behind."

"I have my own thoughts! Didn't their family members go back to look for them?"

Lin Jue frowned and said in confusion.

"So the two ghosts cursed him in the temple for two nights in a row, making the whole temple audible. They also wrote poems and cursed him on the wall. As a result, within two days, their family members came to the door and said it was him.

I have obtained the money buried by the two ghosts, and also told the scholar the reason for doing this, and dug up their bones. This matter is often discussed in the temple, and I don’t know what the two ghosts think." The old Taoist continued, "Little

Before the layman poached all the money, didn't he think that he would be misunderstood?"

"I was in a hurry at the time, so I dug it secretly. I was afraid that people would find out, and I didn't have much time to think about it. Maybe I didn't think carefully about it." Lin Jue said, "But I'm at peace with myself."

"This kind of calmness is really rare."

The old Taoist smiled slightly and walked slowly: "But what if their family received the money and didn't go back and remove their bodies?"

"That's their family's fault, not mine. Besides, this place is not far from Qiyun Mountain and my home. For the rest of my life, I will always go back and take another look. If their family didn't come to remove their bones, I would have taken them

What’s the point of sending them back in person for the money they gave us?”

"I see……"

Lin Jue was still frowning, thinking about what the old Taoist wanted to say, and probably had some guesses in his mind.

"Seeking immortality and asking questions is already difficult, but wanting to live a happy life is even more difficult." The old Taoist said with emotion, looking at the little scholar in front of him as if he was seeing his former self.

"You have to find it."

"Do you know that the methods of spiritual practice in the world can be roughly divided into three categories?"

"I don't know."

"One is the talisman, the second is the alchemy cauldron, and the third is the spiritual method."

"talisman, alchemy cauldron, spiritual method?"

Lin Jue silently wrote down these three words.

"Qiyun Mountain is indeed a rare fairy mountain in the world, but it is also one of the holy places of the Fulu Sect."

"Please give me some advice, Taoist Master."

"Xiaoyao Changsheng is composed of two words, Xiaoyao and longevity." The old Taoist said, "The Fulu Sect worships gods. It may be possible to be ranked in the immortal class and have the possibility of extending life, but it is not Xiaoyao."

"Is that so..."

"The Danding Sect and the Lingfa Sect are similar. They both cultivate themselves. Today, the world is dominated by the Fulu Sect. Both the Danding Sect and the Lingfa Sect are in decline. Among them, the Danding Sect is the oldest inheritance and pays attention to internal and external elixirs. Most of the time

They all practice alchemy in the mountains and ignore the affairs of the world. The Lingfa sect is a later avenue of cultivation, earlier than the Fulu sect and later than the Danding sect. They also practice self-cultivation, but they do not cultivate inner alchemy or external alchemy, but practice spiritual method.

, training method.”

When Lin Jue heard this, he knew what to choose.

"Where can I find the spiritual path?"

"Yishan can be found."

"Yishan..."

Lin Jue paused for a moment, but continued to ask: "I don't know where Fuqiu Peak is..."

"The peak of Fuqiu in Yishan Mountain and the Fuqiu Temple are the masters of the temple."

"..."

Lin Jue suddenly stopped and opened his eyes wide.

After hearing this, I still didn't know that this old Taoist wanted to accept me as his disciple.

It was probably when he was in Danxun County that he heard himself talking to a tree demon and guessed that he was the person he had heard about in the temple two days ago. During his two days, Lin Jue had been gone for more than ten days.

We met on the road yesterday, including going up the mountain together. I don't know if it was intentional or accidental, but when Lin Jue thinks about it now, he feels that it was a test given to him by this old Taoist. The conversation at this time was like an inquiry after the test.

As for Lin Jue's previous doubts, they have long since disappeared with these words.

Qiyun Mountain is not suitable for me. The master of a Taoist temple in Yishan with the inheritance of Zhendao Xingzhen is right in front of him, but he never knew it.

And this old Taoist tested him——

This is a good thing.

A place where accepting disciples would test one's character was enough to erase many of my worries about the unknown place of practice.

"I want to take the Taoist Master as my teacher! Follow the Taoist Master to seek immortality!" Lin Jue said.

"Have you thought about it?"

"Think about it!"

"You are very talented. You have both character and wisdom. Your future achievements will be limitless. You also have a high spirit. Our Fuqiu Peak is not that high. I don't have much life left. I won't live for a few years. You

What you need to know is that if you really have a heart to seek immortality and seek immortality, Pindao and Fuqiu Feng will at most give you a ride. It is absolutely impossible to seek the immortality you ask for at Fuqiu Peak."

"I will never regret it."

"Okay, okay! But then again, if you really want to seek freedom and longevity, which Taoist temple in this world can accommodate you?"

After saying this, the old Taoist smiled and continued walking: "Then follow me back to Fuqiu Peak of Yishan Mountain. When you arrive at the temple, you two will perform the apprenticeship ceremony and then enter my door."

"clear."

Lin Jue felt a little hard to explain for a moment.

I finally have a master, a place where I can come into contact with Taoism and magic, and I can finally stand in a place with a broader view and see what this world is like.

It’s inevitable that I’m filled with anticipation and apprehension.

…

The old Taoist's name is He Xianyu, and his Taoist name is Yunhe Taoist.

The girl's name is Qingyao. She is from Liu Village in Qiuru County, and her surname is also Liu.

Lin Jue followed Lao Dao to Mount Yi. Since he wanted to be his teacher, he naturally took on the chores of collecting firewood, lighting fires, fetching water and asking for directions on the way. He himself had to do these things while traveling alone.

The girl doesn't talk much. She looks young and delicate, but she still does these things.

When Lin Jue gathered firewood, she gathered firewood. When Lin Jue made a fire, she watched the fire. When Lin Jue fetched water, she followed behind with a water bag in hand. She seemed unwilling to let Lin Jue do it alone, and she seemed to be comparing herself with him.

Be more diligent and refuse to be weaker than him.

Lin Jue often asked about the old Taoist practice.

The old man has no airs and talks as usual.

Knowing that the old Taoist brought his disciples with him when he went down the mountain, he first went to the Qiyun Mountain for a big feast, and then went to another state capital alone to visit old friends he had made when he was young, and then came back.

He originally planned to take on a disciple along the way, but he didn't expect that after taking in the little girl, he would meet Lin Jue again.

That night, beside the deserted mountain road.

Lin Jue was sitting cross-legged under an ancient tree.

In front of them was a burned-out bonfire and several cut bamboo tubes. There were faint traces of cooked food inside, indicating that the three of them had a hearty meal.

At this time, the night was getting late, and Lin Jue did not practice the method of cultivating Qi, but used the shade of the trees to feel the aura of the trees.

The piece of 'earth wood essence' was in his arms.

Needless to say, this Earth Wood Essence really works. Lin Jue just carries it on his body, and it will naturally release the Earth Wood Spirit Essence non-stop. If he enters the state that Lin Jue often enters when nourishing Qi, he can still feel it.

The aura on it is mysterious, heavy and steady, and full of vitality.

As I breathed, I gradually smelled the woody fragrance coming from the ancient trees behind me, and the night wind rustled the leaves, as if outlining the shapes of big branches and leaves.

At this time, there was an old Taoist sitting next to him, so Lin Jue was naturally not worried about the monsters on the road.

I just know that my ‘Wood Escape Technique’ is probably going to take off.

According to the old way, these are all techniques from the Spiritual Technique Sect.

I don’t know what magical power the Alchemy Cauldron Talisman has.

Unexpectedly, I lost consciousness for a whole night.

When they woke up in the morning, the diligent girl had already fetched water for them. After washing, they continued on their way.

We will arrive at Yishan in two days.

It's really remote here, and the roads we take are all small paths.

Taoist Yunhe led them through the dense forest, stood on a small slope, pointed to the mountains in the distance, and said to them: "That's Mount Yi. In ancient times, the Yellow Emperor once made elixirs here."

"Huang Di..."

"Did you see a scissors-like peak there? Next to it is our Fuqiu Peak."

"Saw it."

Lin Jue looked up and felt that it was very high.
