Refining Taoism and ascending to immortality

Jingchen Mountain, Yanyun Peak.

The sun has reached noon, and in front of the cave, there is a bright piece, and the skylight keeps hitting the stone bones, knocking out fine and fragmented golden color.

Zhou Luoyun sits quietly, and above the top of his head, it is like smoke and clouds. He is practicing the skills and polishing his foundation.

Since he came to the mountain, he has not slacked off for a day. He is either doing tasks or practicing Xuangong. He is down-to-earth and makes progress every day.

Today is the same.

This area is very quiet, there is no sound of springs, no birds singing, only unknown wild flowers growing in the valley. Sometimes the branches tremble slightly, and three or two petals as big as fists fall, fall to the ground, and spread the fragrance all over the ground.

The empty valley is silent, sitting and listening to the flowers fall, there is a kind of quietness in the world, away from the noise.

There is no intrigue in the tribe, no great expectations on him, only a heart of cultivation, falling in this world, crystal clear, and dust-free.

The aura on Zhou Luoyun's body became more and more ethereal, and the light around him seemed to be particularly brilliant at this moment, as if it were real.

An hour later, Zhou Luoyun opened his eyes, and the ethereal aura on his body dissipated. He looked at another wild flower falling, and the fragrance was rich and refreshing. He couldn't help but sighed, and returned to reality, his expression became firm again.

In this world, you can't just look at poetry and the distance, thinking that you will suddenly realize it and ascend to heaven. You must practice step by step, and wealth, friends, and land are indispensable.

To achieve longevity, cultivators can't just meditate in a quiet valley, but have to care about their wealth, friends, and land.

The higher the ambition, the higher the requirements for wealth, friends, and land.

Zhou Luoyun has little ambition, so he came to participate in the Jingchen Dharma Assembly, looking forward to stepping onto a bigger stage and getting better "wealth, friends, and land" to "protect the law" for his practice. Otherwise, if he stayed in Hengnan Zhou, he would also have "wealth, friends, and land", but the upper limit was there.

Zhou Luoyun stood up and paced around. He first looked at the Zhenyi Sect's talisman hanging around his waist, then took out a communication gold leaf from his sleeve. Seeing that it was also dark, his eyes became gloomy.

At this time, a bell sound appeared out of nowhere, breaking the tranquility of the surroundings. He looked over and saw a girl with thin eyebrows and big eyes turning around a corner of the rock. She was wearing a long floral dress and had bells of different sizes on her ankles. When she walked, they kept ringing.

When she saw Zhou Luoyun, her eyes lit up and she asked directly, "What have you thought about?"

"I,"

The girl's voice was clearer and more pleasant than the bell on her ankle, but after hearing it, Zhou Luoyun's face showed a trace of pain.

Seeing that Zhou Luoyun had not made up his mind, the girl patiently persuaded him, "The Zhenyi Sect will only accept one person as a disciple at the Jingchen Dharma Assembly, and it must be Zhou Qing. Don't be lucky."

"If you hesitate any longer, you may get nothing at the Dharma Assembly this time, and in the end, you can only return to the family in disgrace."

Hearing these words, Zhou Luoyun thought about the consequences of returning to the Hengnan Zhou family, and his heart trembled, and his hands in his sleeves clenched. The sarcasm of the clan's opponents was fine, but he could not stand disappointing the expectations of the clan elders.

"Think about it carefully." The girl from Doumu Palace stopped talking, and said no more, "There is only more than a month left before the Jingchen Dharma Assembly."

Zhou Luoyun once again looked at the Zhenyi Sect talisman on his waist and the communication gold leaf in his sleeves, but there was still no movement. He spoke with difficulty, and said to Du Yanxi, "I'll give you an answer in the next two days."

Du Yanxi's beautiful eyes moved, and she glanced at Zhou Luoyun. She was sure that the result was good, and smiled, "Okay."

After Zhou Luoyun and the female disciple Du Yanxi of Doumu Palace left, he stayed alone on the mountain. He held the Zhenyi Sect's talisman on his waist, and his face was slightly blue.

The empty valley around him, flowers bloomed and fell. At this time, he felt that it was no longer quiet and elegant, but rather oppressive.

It made people go crazy, crazy!

"Zhenyi."

After an unknown period of time, Zhou Luoyun gritted his teeth and spat out these two words. He stomped his feet, left this place, and returned to the foothold of Hengnan Zhou's in Jingchen Mountain.

In the room, a stunning rainbow was hanging down, and the bottom was like a ring, decorated with spiritual texts, colorful and colourful. Zhou Ruoyan sat in the ring, her whole body radiating light. She saw Zhou Luoyun coming in, and her jade-like face showed no expression, she just said: "What's the matter?"

"I,"

Zhou Luoyun opened his mouth to speak, but for some reason, the words below were simply too heavy to bear, he only said one word, and then he was stuck. After that, he couldn't say anything.

Zhou Ruoyan looked at the talented man in the clan in front of him. He was no longer as cool as before. He was sweating profusely and looked ugly. He made a judgment and turned his eyes. His jade-like face was like thawing ice skin. Winter was gone and spring came. A smile appeared on his face and his voice became gentle. He said: "Luoyun, tell me slowly. You are already very good to be recommended by the family to participate in the Jingchen Dharma Assembly."

"I'll take the sect talisman of Doumu Palace."

Zhou Luoyun almost summoned up his last bit of strength to say this. His voice suddenly became hoarse, his face was ashen, his body was shaky, and the pain penetrated into his bones and he couldn't extricate himself.

To take the sect talisman of Doumu Palace is equivalent to officially giving up Zhenyi Sect.

You know, since learning that Zhenyi Sect participated in this Jingchen Dharma Assembly, Zhou Luoyun has made up his mind to pass the Dharma Assembly and join the sect of Shangxuanmen Zhenyi Sect.

To this end, he not only adjusted his state and made careful preparations, but also used some dishonorable means to suppress possible competitors.

He had set a goal to join the Zhenyi Sect at the Jingchen Dharma Assembly, and he had done his best.

But now, his hope was shattered!

All the longings, all the preparations, all the efforts were all in vain, leaving only disappointment and ridicule!

Zhou Ruoyan looked at Zhou Luoyun, who looked lost, and sighed in her heart. She had experienced this herself and knew the struggle and pain involved.

There are seven out of ten cases where life is unsatisfactory.

With a move of her hand, Zhou Ruoyan took the Zhenyi Sect Talisman hanging from Zhou Luoyun's waist, and then with a little finger, another starry Talisman flew out. When she arrived in front of Zhou Luoyun, she said: "Dou The Mother Palace is also the Shangxuan Sect, and the power in this area is still higher than that of the Zhenyi Sect. It would be good if you can enter the Doumu Palace. It will make it easier to contact the family in the future. "

That's what he said, but Zhou Ruoyan knew in his heart that compared to entering the True Sect, if Zhou Luoyun entered Doumu Palace, his future cultivation would be much more bumpy.

"This second choice may very well be your last, so make the most of it."

"I know."

Zhou Luoyun took a deep breath and managed to regain his composure. He took off the talisman of Doumu Palace and held it in his hand. Then he bowed to Zhou Ruoyan and turned around to go out.

Before I knew it, it was already evening.

The setting sun spread over the top of the mountain, and its flaming red light illuminated the sparse forests all around. Zhou Luoyun was in a restless mood, one foot was light and the other was heavy. As soon as he reached the door, he saw a person walking up the mountain road from the opposite side.

The person who came had a pair of slender temples and sharp eyebrows, and the eyes below were as bright as stars, shining with high energy. The red light of the evening fell all around, and there was no trace of the gloom of twilight. Instead, there was a majestic and majestic glow that covered the sky.

"Zhou Qing!"

After seeing the person clearly, Zhou Luoyun stopped. The mentality that had finally been stabilized was once again stirred up, and cracks appeared.

"Zhou Luoyun." After Zhou Qing was promoted to the fourth realm of Taoism, he not only sensed the vitality of heaven and earth, but his six senses also improved to a higher level, so he immediately discovered the kind of talisman on Zhou Luoyun's sleeve. With a unique Qi machine, there was an inexplicable look in his eyes, and he said: "I said, even if you exhaust all your abilities, you will not be able to enter the true sect."

After Zhou Luoyun heard this, the veins on his forehead jumped, his teeth clenched, and his body was trembling.

He was so defeated that he couldn't even refute.

At this moment, Zhou Luoyun even felt a sense of violence in his heart, wishing that he would use any means to eliminate Zhou Qing in the Zhou family's clan in Hengnan that day.

But the thought only passed by for a moment, and he quickly suppressed it.

Because Zhou Luoyun knew that it was impossible for him to do that. He was raised by his family and has always followed the family's rules.

A family cannot function without rules.

Zhou Luoyun took several deep breaths in succession to calm down his mood. He tightened his grip on the Doumu Palace Sect Talisman in his hand, stopped talking, lowered his head, and went downstairs.

Zhou Qing smiled, and instead of adding insult to injury, he waved his sleeves and went up.

Two young men passed each other.

Under the light of the setting sun, those who go down the mountain are full of bitterness and hatred, with shadows on their faces, while those who go up are smiling and looking forward to the glory.
