Become a disciple of Taoist Priest Four Eyes

Chapter 610: The third cultivator comes to visit, and the two factions compete with each other with swords

…

"Amitabha, may I be reborn in the vast caves and caves of the mountains."

An old monk with a wizened figure, wearing clean old monk robes, said in surprise.

"Zen Master Tianmeng's clairvoyance is indeed extraordinary!"

Miao Chufang, the 'Red Flower Madonna', who was wearing a long blue dress and a navy blue floral scarf covering her head full of black hair, said with a smile.

The slightly dim golden light in the old monk's eyes slowly disappeared.

"I would like to congratulate fellow Taoist. In this reincarnation, not only will I have to worship a famous teacher, but I will also become an Earth Immortal."

Miao Chufang smiled lightly.

She was also glad that she could become a disciple of Chongshan.

Compared to outsiders, direct disciples like her know best what the words 'Chongshan direct disciple' mean, which is not only a rapid improvement in cultivation, but also a broader vision and a greater future.

It was only after becoming a disciple of Chongshan that she realized that this world was not the only one.

Chongshan Academy is a large sect spanning three worlds.

Moreover, the most precious treasure of the gate, the ‘bronze mirror’, is even more mysterious and unparalleled.

"Old Zen Master deserves the prize. But I am very curious. If Emei didn't come to Chongshan today to bring back the 'Purple Ying Sword', why did the old Zen Master and Baimei Zen Master come with him?"

Zen Master Baimei, who has white eyebrows longer than the corners of his eyes and is wearing a yellow monk's robe, raised his eyebrows slightly and whispered the Buddha's name.

"The two of us were witnesses to Xu Zhenjun's return of the Purple Ying Sword ten years ago. Now we must have a beginning and an end, and see the sword return to Emei with our own eyes, so that we can live up to the original entrustment of Master Changmei."

"Amitabha, what Bai Mei said is also what I think in my heart." Tian Meng said.

His eyes passed over the two monks and settled on the middle-aged man next to them, with a tall crown and a rich belt, and an elegant temperament, as if he was a famous scholar.

"Friend Miao Dao, you are really lucky. Two eminent Buddhist monks can escort Emei."

Qi Shuming smiled faintly, as if he didn't hear the sarcasm in her words at all.

"The two Zen masters are upright and honest, and they have always been eager to do justice. They will naturally speak up for Emei."

Miao Chufang frowned slightly.

The other party was mocking their Chongshan Academy for their domineering behavior.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw that he had already reached the entrance of Chongshan Hall and closed his mouth again.

Looking at the magnificent palace in front of him, Qi Shuming's eyes flashed with a hint of haze.

Although Emei occupies the entire Sichuan province, Chongshan Academy also occupies the destiny of the Three Qin Dynasty.

Moreover, compared to the Emei master-disciple model, Chongshan Academy has extended its power to the common people.

It was only twenty years after the sect was established, but it has already opened nearly a hundred branches in the Three Qin lands and trained millions of disciples.

Although the vast majority of them are just ordinary people who are literate and know how to fist and kick, there are also tens of thousands of monks who have truly entered the innate realm.

Tens of thousands of disciples!

There has never been any sect in the world of spiritual cultivation with such a large number of disciples!

Whenever he thinks of this number, Qi Shuming feels extremely heavy in his heart.

Although Chongshan Academy is a cultivation sect, what they pursue is not at all the model of master-disciple inheritance in the cultivation world.

The alternative academy system, coupled with the master-disciple inheritance system, has become a large sect with influence in every corner of the spiritual world in just twenty years.

After deeply studying the rise model of Chongshan Academy, he also decided to copy it to strengthen Emei.

But after thinking about it for a while, I gave up.

Teaching disciples requires a lot of time. Although there are hundreds of Emei disciples, there are only a few disciples who are willing to sacrifice their precious practice time to teach disciples.

Moreover, he does not have the authority of Chongshan True Lord Xu Junming, as the founder of the sect, to make final decisions on sect affairs.

"It would be great if Master Changmei was still here!"

This thought came up again in Qi Shuming's heart.

Facing Chongshan Academy, a large and rapidly rising sect, he felt increasingly powerless.

Under the leadership of Miao Chufang, we walked into the Chongshan Hall.

"Teacher, please come again. This disciple is ordered to bring the guests from the Emei sect."

Arriving in front of Xu Junming's seat, Miao Chufang said respectfully.

But after hearing her words, Tian Meng and Bai Mei's expressions did change.

After nodding to her, Xu Junming waved his sleeves, and clouds rose from the ground in the hall, and soon three cloud beds floated up.

"You three, please take a seat."

"Thank you, fellow Taoist Xu."

After the ceremony, Tian Meng sat in the first place, Bai Mei sat in the second place, and Qi Shuming sat in the last place.

Miao Chufang held the disciple ceremony and came to stand on the left side of Xu Junming.

"You three, I am from Chongshan Academy. I don't know what happened?" Xu Junming said calmly.

"Amitabha, ten years ago, fellow Taoist Xu personally promised in Cangmang Mountain that he would return the Emei Town Sect's treasure, the Purple Ying Sword, in ten years. This is why the old monk came here." Tian Meng said.

"That's it. I thought this was a private matter between the Chongshan and Emei factions, but I didn't expect that the head of Qi would invite the two of you to escort me. Don't worry, I, Xu Junming, as the leader of a faction, will never tell lies."

With a wave of his hand, a stream of purple light flew towards Qi Shuming.

The latter quickly caught it, and a three-foot-nine-inch Forsythia sword appeared in his palm.

Qi Shuming is no stranger to the Purple Ying Sword, the treasure of his sect, and can distinguish the true from the false with a little spiritual awareness.

"It's a real sword!"

After the divine consciousness communicated with Tianmeng and Baimei, they felt relieved.

Although they believed that Xu Junming, as the dean of Chongshan Academy, had preached for many years and had an outstanding reputation in the spiritual world, he would not do anything that would violate his promise.

But anything is possible.

Fortunately, there were no surprises after all.

"Amitabha, Taoist friend Xu is indeed a believer!" Tian Meng said in awe.

"Xu always keeps his word."

After a pause, "Now that the sword has been returned, if the three of you have nothing else to do, I have other things to do, so I can't accompany you."

Although the two sides could not be called enemies, they were not conspiring against each other, and he did not want to gossip with Tianmeng Baimei and Qi Shuming here.

"Senior, please stay. Qi Shuming has something else to do."

Turning to look at him.

"Senior has been preaching for many years and has shown the way forward for countless cultivators and hereditary sects. His merits are profound. The Chongshan lineage punishes rape and eradicates evil and protects the safety of one party, which is even more admirable."

"As the saying goes, 'When three people walk together, there must be my teacher.' Our Emei sect would like to ask Chongshan people for advice."

Xu Junming smiled faintly and said, "I wonder what kind of method it is to ask for advice?"

"Nine years later, you and I will have a sword fight at Yuzhu Peak in Zhongnan Mountain!"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Junming's eyes suddenly became sharp, and a tyrannical pressure swept across the entire audience. Even with Tian Meng's cultivation, he felt his heart sink instantly.

As for Qi Shuming, his expression suddenly changed. The originally plain figure seemed to have suddenly turned into an ancient beast that swallowed the sky and the earth. A powerful pressure made him unable to help but feel fear.

"Amitabha!"

Along with the loud Buddha's name, the vast Buddha's light soared into the sky.

Zen Master Tianmeng put his palms together.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, please do not misunderstand. Master Qi's intention is for the two factions to compete with each other, not for a sword fight. Regardless of victory or defeat, the harmony between the two factions will not be harmed."

Qi Shuming nodded quickly.

"We, Emei and Chongshan, are both well-known and upright sects. When we compete with swordsmen, we only learn from each other and confirm what we have learned. The purpose is to get closer to the Taoism, not to win by killing."

"Really? It seems that I misunderstood."

After Xu Junming finished speaking calmly, his aura slowly subsided, and his sharp eyes gradually calmed down.

"...If it's just two factions competing, that's fine. I just don't know how Master Qi plans to compete?"

"Of course three generations of disciples from the two sects teach each other skills!" Qi Shuming said.

"A third-generation disciple?"

"Exactly!"

Xu Junming was not stupid, so he naturally heard what he meant.

"So Master Qi will also appear?"

"My Grandmaster Emei Dayuan, Grandmaster Chuosanzi, and Grandmaster Lianshan are the first generation, Master Changmei, Uncle Shuijingzi, and Uncle Yizhen are the second generation, and the juniors are the third generation."

Xu Junming nodded.

Qi Shuming's words are true, but the founder of the Emei sect is Ren Shou, the real person with Changmei. Based on this, he can only be regarded as a second-generation disciple.

However, the second-generation disciples of Chongshan Sect have all become immortals, and in the past twenty years they have become famous in the world of cultivation.

No matter how confident Qi Shuming was, he didn't think that the Emei people could be their opponents.

Moreover, the reason why he wanted to compete with swords was to attack the power of the Chongshan lineage and improve Emei's status in the spiritual world.

Otherwise, if the Chongshan lineage is allowed to develop like this, their prestige will overwhelm Emei before the great catastrophe of the Immortals.

At that time, how can we talk about leadership and social ethics and leading the catastrophe? !

"Amitabha, Emei and Chongshan are both famous sects in the practice world. They compete with each other to confirm what they have learned and help each other. This is a grand event in the practice world." Monk Baimei said.

After Xu Junming thought about it for a while, he nodded slightly.

"Since Master Qi wants the two factions to have a sword fight, then I agree. We will meet at Tianzhu Peak of Zhongnan Mountain in nine years."

Qi Shuming stood up and bowed.

"Thank you, senior Yucheng."

"Is there anything else?"

Qi Shuming shook his head.

The most important thing this time is to retrieve the Ziying Sword and get the promise of the sword competition between the two factions. Now it has been completed.

Tian Meng and Bai Mei just escorted him and had nothing else to do.

"safflower?"

"The disciple is here."

Miao Chufang responded.

"You can see off the guests for me."

"Yes, disciple, I obey."

Xu Junming nodded and turned his head.

"Two fellow Taoists, we are both in charge. I have other important matters, so I won't be with you much longer."

"Amitabha, it is up to the true person to do as he pleases."

After Xu Junming nodded, his figure disappeared instantly.

"Two seniors, fellow Daoist Qi, please come with me."

Zen Master Tianmeng took one last look at the direction in which Xu Junming disappeared, and then left the Chongshan Hall under the leadership of the Red Flower Virgin Miao Chufang.

After getting off the Rainbow Bridge, the white-browed monk frowned slightly and subconsciously looked to the left.

After a moment of hesitation, "Fellow Taoist Miao, where is your sect?"

Miao Chufang looked at the place pointed by the white-browed monk, which was the 'Qingyun Peak' where the high-level inner disciples of Chongshan Cave Heaven lived.

"Master, please forgive me. It is a secret of our sect and Honghua cannot disclose it."

The white-browed monk frowned. Although he felt a little unhappy, it was not easy to get angry.

After all, people said, this is a sect secret.

But the vague attraction just now made him unforgettable.
