Chapter 16 Shadows disperse, wine is cold and few people are there

These past few days, Taishang's Palace of Morality has been extremely busy, with students competing in major exams and real people preaching. It has been a very busy time.

This time, Old Man Tianhai, who lives in the clouds, went up the mountain to challenge with great momentum. The three disciples under his sect were all unpredictable and talented, which amazed all the righteous guests. However, as soon as the big exam started, Old Man Tianhai hurried down the mountain, which really made him feel a little frustrated.

At this point, you all know the outcome of the overt and covert struggle between Yunzhongju and Daodezong, so you naturally know what to expect.

As a result, the flattery heard by everyone in the Taoist Sect has doubled since the day Old Man Tianhai left.

There was endless noise on that side, but it was so quiet here.

During these days, Ji Ruochen studied hard all day long, never leaving the house, unaware of the movement of the sun and the moon. On this day, he occasionally saw the snow falling outside the window, and felt something in his heart, only to realize that another January had passed.

Ji Ruochen put on his clothes and walked out of the house, walking in the courtyard, letting the pieces of flying jade pile up on his shoulders. At this moment, he finally allowed his mind to have some free time, so he thought about the chaotic five days again, and thought about

The plain shirt looked as clean as a wash.

He was so overwhelmed that he really didn't know how to get along with her in the future. In the end, all he could think of was the sentence "A man with seven feet must have the courage to fight ten times" and kept thinking about it.

He stopped suddenly, and a wave of passion suddenly surged into his heart, so he shouted loudly, the sound was like thunder! All the broken jade and jade in the sky were shaken by this shout and disappeared without a trace. In the courtyard, the ancient trees twisted and twisted.

, strange rocks are like flying, green grass is green, ripples are like scales, and in an instant there is no more falling snow.

The heavy drinking was gone, but the remaining thunder was still coming back and forth, and the flying snow in the sky condensed for a moment before falling one after another.

Bang bang bang!

A burst of crisp applause came from outside the courtyard, and then Taoist Master Yunfeng pushed open the door and came in, praising: "With the edge hidden, its power will show itself! What a shout! Ruochen, it seems you have understood something again."

Ji Ruochen hurriedly saluted and said: "Senior Brother Yunfeng is too modest. I wonder what the important business is for Senior Brother to visit?"

Taoist Master Yunfeng chuckled and said: "I came to see you because I have something to do. You just pack up and follow me to Taishang Daode Palace. Several masters have important instructions."

Ji Ruochen changed his clothes and hurried away with Taoist Master Yunfeng.

In Tingsong Pavilion, eight real people had arrived, seemingly waiting for him. Such a formation immediately surprised Ji Ruochen.

"Go down the mountain?" Ji Ruochen was startled after hearing Master Ziyang's instructions!

"That's right." Ziyang stroked his long beard gently and spoke slowly, as if every word had to be re-considered and thought over: "Now that you have achieved some success in cultivating Taoism, and you have all kinds of magic weapons to protect you, most disciples of other sects have already

Even if you can't defeat a big enemy, walking down the mountain won't be a big problem. Our Tao Te Sect has always had a small reputation. If you encounter difficulties, you only need to reveal your identity, and I'm sure there won't be many people who will make things difficult for you."

Master Ziyang paused for a moment and then said: "Ruochen, in fact, the main reason why I asked you to go down the mountain this time is that you did not cultivate since childhood and came from the world of mortals. You must go back to the world of mortals and walk down the mountain to gain experience.

Cultivation is of great benefit."

Although Ji Ruochen was shocked, he saw that the other masters were silent and it was obvious that they had already reached a conclusion, so he agreed. It was clear that he was practicing bravely and diligently. He originally wanted to retreat for another month, but the experience of going down the mountain was not enough.

The good thing is that he will be like a fish returning to the sea at that time. Once the secret is revealed, he can walk away freely. At least it is better than the life in the Taoist Sect on Mogan Peak where there is no way to heaven and no door to earth.

Ziyang Zhenren turned his palm, and there was already a ring finger in his palm. This ring finger was dark and dark, with a faint golden glow. The base was wide and clumsy, and embedded with a bottomless black abnormal-shaped gemstone.

Ziyang Zhenren said: "Ruochen, after all, you have some shortcomings in your Taoism. You must have a magic weapon to protect yourself when you go down the mountain. The stone embedded in this ring finger is called Xuanxin. The power is to create something out of nothing. The meson accepts Sumeru. Xuanxin is

The ancestor of our sect discovered two pieces from the place where Guangchengzi ascended to immortality. They have been the treasures of our sect for three thousand years. The current one is a token of the sect, held by Master Ziwei. The other one is this one. The instructions for its use will be discussed later.

Teaching. In addition, when you come down from the mountain this time, all the masters will also give you gifts, so go and receive them first."

Ji Ruochen stepped forward and received the gifts from the real person one by one. The treasures and immortal materials given by the real person this time were different from those in the past. Only then did Ji Ruochen become convinced that he was really going to go down the mountain to experience.

There are many treasures given by the real person, from all disciplines, and they need to be taught how to use them. As a result, it took Ji Ruochen nearly two hours to collect them. These magical weapons are not cumbersome, and they are easy to stack together.

It is only one foot square, so it is obviously suitable for walking alone, and it was specially chosen for him.

After bestowing the magical weapons, the masters left immediately, leaving only Master Ziyang and Ji Ruochen in the hall.

Master Ziyang first taught Ji Ruochen how to use the Xuanxin Finger Ring, and taught him how to use it on the spot. The Xuanxin Finger Ring has only one function, which is to use the power of the Xuanxin to hold objects, magic weapons, and take them out when needed.

.It’s just that this kind of Taoism requires great power to frighten ghosts and gods. Therefore, although the Xuanxin Ring is the treasure of the Taoist Sect, it can only hold down objects one foot square. It seems that you have already considered this.

, the magic weapon given to him can basically be stuffed into this finger.

Ji Ruochen is well aware of the weight of this ring finger. The things left by Guangchengzi after becoming an immortal, even a needle and a thread, are the treasures coveted by monks. What's more, such a mysterious treasure, how can it be described as priceless?

When this thing comes out of the mountain, it will inevitably attract people from all walks of life to covet it. Even if the Eight Meridians master is alone, greedy people may take risks. Ji Ruochen can't do it for the first time, so how can he keep this mysterious heart treasure?

He had stayed at the Longmen Inn for several years. Although he had not read any books at that time, he already deeply understood the principle of harboring evil intentions. How could he be called a fat sheep if he didn't have a few taels of silver in his pocket?

Although this Xuanxin finger ring was as light as a feather, when it landed gently on Ji Ruochen's hand, he felt that what he had received was an unbearable mountain, and his fingers trembled slightly.

Master Ziyang saw this and knew what he was thinking. He took out another three-inch long fireworks with red copper body and black gold outline and handed it to him. He said: "If you encounter something difficult to solve, just set off one firework."

Go out, and all the disciples of my Taoism Sect within a radius of five hundred miles will know about it. In a short time, someone will come to help. In addition, you also need to pay attention to the treasures of heaven, earth, materials, spiritual herbs and elixirs along the way. Before you

All materials are taken from various sources, which can be said to be inexhaustible and inexhaustible. However, these are not things obtained out of thin air. Therefore, collecting these materials is a compulsory course for us, and we must not know it. In addition, there are rare things

Objects must have spirituality, and their paths always have a certain destination. To not take them when you encounter them is to go against heaven."

After Ji Ruochen had put away the three fireworks, Master Ziyang stood up, walked slowly around the hall, and said: "Ruochen, people in the world think that those who seek immortality and seek Taoism will not eat the fireworks of the world and stay away from the disputes of the world. In fact, this is not the case.

. If you are like that person who lives in the clouds, of course it is okay. But that is a way to maintain success, not a pioneering move. Therefore, you also need to do some secular affairs when you go down the mountain this time. I have a disciple in Taichang Palace, named

As Xu Zekai, he is now serving as an aide to Li An's Mansion, the King of Luoyang and the Governor of Henan Prefecture. He has won Li An's trust. I have compiled a letter. You can give this book to Zekai and he will arrange everything for you. When you arrive in Luoyang

After that, apart from not neglecting daily homework, all that needs to be done is to travel through the world of mortals without any hesitation, and then learn how to govern the world. Apart from that, there is nothing else to do. As for the follow-up matters, the time has come.

I will send someone to inform you."

Ji Ruochen took the letter and put it away carefully.

Master Ziyang said again: "Ruochen, you were originally registered under my Taichang Palace. After this big exam, you will choose a door to enter. However, that was the rule set four years ago. Now times have changed.

This matter will be postponed for further discussion. From today on, you will still be jointly taught by Master Ba Mei."

Ji Ruochen agreed and asked: "Master, who should I go with when I go down the mountain this time?"

"Only you."

Ji Ruochen was startled again. Regardless of the level of Taoism, he has cultivated the Tao, no matter how ordinary he is. Many mortals regard the road as smooth, but Taoists are afraid of it as a chasm in the sky. With such a humble Taoist practice, and carrying a peerless treasure, he went to Luoyang all the way.

, is no different than a sheep walking among wolves. Ji Ruochen still understands this truth.

So he asked again.

Master Ziyang walked a few more steps, stood in front of the window, and said calmly: "What, are you scared?"

Ji Ruochen was stunned at first, but he was still young and full of energy after all. Being so provoked by Master Ziyang, a rush of blood surged in his chest, and he said: "Of course I'm not afraid!"

Master Ziyang smiled slightly and said: "Since you are not afraid, then get ready to set off."
