After the ceremony, each peak and each branch made their own arrangements. The three branches of Jianfeng, Qifeng and Zhufeng had more than a dozen newly-accepted disciples, as well as the chief monks and elders who came to attend the ceremony. They came and went, making a lot of noise.
In fact, it was also the first time for Qin Ran to attend the Daoist Ceremony. He didn’t know much about the procedures. At least he didn’t know whether to leave directly or follow the procedures after the head of the sect announced the end of the ceremony. So while he was hesitating, the various peaks and sects either cast flying spells or flying instruments and quickly left the Daoist Hall. In the blink of an eye, only he and his new disciple were left in the empty hall. Only then did he realize that he had just left.
He turned around to look at his new disciple, who stood expressionlessly behind him, as if shrouded in an icy field. This was his first time, and he didn't know how to deal with this situation. He could only cough dryly, squeeze out a smile that he thought was kind, and asked, "What's your name?"
Yes, he only asked for her name at this time... and he felt humbled as if he was asking for a girl's WeChat.
"Li Shiyin." Li Shiyin said coldly. She was extremely disappointed with this master, this Danfeng.
Why? Why is it so shabby?! Forget about elders or fellow apprentices, why is there not even a errand boy? ?
"Oh! Li Shiyin." Qin Ran nodded. Li Shiyin's look made him feel that he should say something, such as that he was actually very powerful, or that it would be more comfortable with fewer people, or at least ease the atmosphere. But he really didn't know what to say. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Let's go."
After saying this, he walked towards the door of the main hall.
"Walk... Walk?!" Li Shiyin was unable to react. She was stunned. "We need to walk?"
At this time, looking out from the main hall gate, you can still see the disciples who have joined Jianfeng sitting on the cloud boat and laughing.
"This master..." She curled her lips quietly and followed him reluctantly.
The Daojian Sect is a small sect that occupies a very small area. Compared with those large sects that have small worlds within the sect, the Daojian Sect with five or six mountains is indeed the stinky little brother among stinky little brothers.
However, if they encounter some monks who cannot fly, traveling between these five or six mountains will be enough to give them a headache.
For example, there is a certain Danfeng abbot who does not want to reveal his name.
The Daoist Hall where the Daoist Ceremony is held is on the main peak, and Dan Peak is located on the left side of the main peak.
If they walked, they would need to go down from the left side of the main peak first, and then climb up from the right side of Danfeng. Well, it wasn't far, just counting the time it took to go down from this side, it would only take about two hours.
In front of the main hall is a huge square used for gatherings. Because the Asking Ceremony was being held today, there was no one in the square.
Li Shiyin came out of the hall and looked up to see her master's thin figure walking in the huge square. He was neither handsome nor tall, and could not give her a sense of beauty or a sense of security. In this huge square, the thin back did not look like a handsome immortal master, but just like a poor and poor old Taoist priest.
In just a few minutes after becoming his disciple, her romantic fantasy about cultivating immortals was shattered. At this moment, she once again thought of refunding the money: "How about? Slipping away? My brother is outside anyway."
"Come here quickly." But at this time, the master seemed to realize that she had fallen too far behind, so he turned around and urged her, with a smile on his pretty face and a gentle voice.
"At least he's a good person." She sighed in her heart, but still followed him. This was probably a blessing in disguise.
Most of the disciples in the sect have low cultivation levels, and even more of them don't know how to fly, so the paths in the sect are very smooth. Unlike those big sects, where people usually fly around, the sect is like a primeval forest, and people have to speak in the air.
There are neat stone paths from the bottom of the main peak to the top of Dan Peak, so it wouldn't be that uncomfortable to walk on... if the sun wasn't so strong today.
Halfway down the main peak, Li Shiyin couldn't stand the sun any more. She looked at the steady figure in front of her and finally couldn't help asking, "Master, what is your cultivation level?"
"In the late stage of foundation building, if everything goes well, you can form a pill before the age of fifty." Qin Ran answered. He turned around to look at the pretty little disciple and saw that her face was red and sweaty from the sun. Then he realized that the disciple was a girl and an ordinary person. Her physical fitness might not be that good, so he kindly asked, "Do you want to rest for a while?"
"No need." Li Shiyin refused. She calculated in her heart that if he could form a pill before the age of fifty, it seemed that this master had good talent, but his cultivation was too low... No, she suddenly realized, fifty years old? Could he be really that young
"Master, how old are you?" she couldn't help but ask.
Qin Ran felt the contempt in his disciple's tone, blushed, coughed, turned around, and replied in a low voice: "I am twenty-five years old.
"
"Twenty-five years old?!!!" Li Shiyin was shocked. Really that young?!
Such a young chief, with such a low level of cultivation. Where are the others in Danfeng? What are they doing
"Danfeng?" She hesitated, "Is there no one else?"
After saying this, the master, who had always been very steady and always answered questions, suddenly stopped and was silent for a while. He sighed and said, "Since my master failed to transcend the tribulation five years ago, I am the only one left at Danfeng."
He paused, then smiled and said, "You're one more person today."
"One peak per person?" Li Shiyin was desperate. This must be the worst peak in the world. For a moment, she felt that the road ahead was dark.
"Master, I am sorry for your loss!" She spoke out to comfort him, not knowing whether she was comforting her master or herself.
“Nothing!” Qin Ran smiled and shook his head. “Although my master died under the thunderbolt, you don’t have to worry. I have done a lot of research on the heavenly tribulation. You have a good talent and can upgrade at will in the future. I guarantee that you can easily overcome the tribulation.”
"Oh!" Li Shiyin responded indifferently. She didn't believe it at all.
After walking for a while, she suddenly remembered the question she wanted to ask at the beginning, and asked hurriedly: "Master, don't you know the magic of flying in the clouds?"
“Huh?” This question seemed to have touched a sore spot for Qin Ran. He was obviously a little flustered. He forced himself to calm down and replied, “Yes, of course I wouldn’t. I can…”
"Why don't we ride the cloud back?" Li Shiyin asked coldly.
"Ah, this..." Qin Ran didn't know how to fool around... No, how to explain it. Some inexplicable words kept coming out of his mouth, such as "Walking is good for physical and mental health", "Flying around is detrimental to your image", "It's too dangerous at high altitudes, what if you fall", etc. In short, he avoided the question of "Why don't you fly back on the cloud?"
Li Shiyin listened, and as smart as she was, she extracted the key words, "It's too dangerous at high altitudes, what if we fall down?" She looked at the young master in front of her with strange eyes. He wouldn't be afraid of heights. As a cultivator, he wouldn't be afraid of heights!
The look in his disciple's eyes made Qin Ran feel uncomfortable. He lowered his head and kept saying, "Hurry up and leave. It's getting late. We have things to do when we get back!"
Li Shiyin looked up at the sun still in the sky and felt that this master was inexplicably cute... No, this master was a little special.
