There is a mountain range somewhere in the north, with mountains and rivers alternating with each other, and lakes and sky being the same color. It is a beautiful scenery.
It was the end of spring in the third year of Shenyuan, and the spring breeze was sharp and blowing to the bones. It was very cold, but it could not stop the fiery hearts of those who attended the meeting.
If you are someone who is proficient in history, you may know the ancient name of this mountain - "Langjuxu".
The "Great Wall" summit is placed here.
Surprisingly, the host location is not in China.
The organizer is also located in the center of the East Wilderness, Yunwu City, whose influence radiates to several surrounding countries, and is not the Shenzhou truth-clarification office as everyone thought beforehand.
On the shore of a lake, the water is still slightly frozen.
There are many cultivators gathered by the lake. Some are wearing Taoist robes, some are wearing monk's robes, and there are also people in suits and leather shoes. They are of all kinds.
"Taoist Master Ma, I haven't seen you for a long time. I see your aura rippling around your body, your beard and hair turning black, as if this place is as vibrant as Wolf Lake. Could it be that you have..." Someone greeted an old Taoist in surprise.
"Haha, this is all God's blessing and a lucky breakthrough." An old man with half black hair and half white beard said politely to the visitor.
"This is what it should be. Immortal Ma has killed so many demons and slain demons. Among cultivators, he is probably second only to the Divine Dragon Venerable. It is natural that he should be blessed by God." Some people heard the news and started talking. They gathered around and complimented one after another.
Shenlong has a high threshold, and he doesn't like to interact with strangers. He only likes to be with beasts, and there are very few people who can interact with them.
Many people can't find a way to give gifts. Although it is rumored that the other party is actually very greedy for money, he has never made money by accepting gifts based on his reputation. After all, he is a hero...
However, this Taoist priest is quite popular, likes to communicate with fellow Taoists, and is easy to make friends with.
There are many schools in the Shenzhou Taoist Alliance, with the other party having the highest level of cultivation and being the leader.
Ma Futian enjoyed this situation of stars overlapping the moon very much. He talked loudly with everyone and preached some cultivation experiences, which was praised by many people.
He practiced hard and conquered demons everywhere in order to promote the unknown Zishan Temple.
Now it seems that this purpose has been achieved.
At least among the Taoist alliances, the Taoist temple he inherited has steadily surpassed those so-called famous sects in terms of reputation and strength.
Among the Taoist Alliance, those so-called direct descendants, whether Zhengyi or Quanzhen, the alchemy talismans handed down from ancient times, although they are numerous and complex, are mostly useless.
When their vitality was revived, they thought their sect would shine. However, when they used their ancestral skills, they found that they could not mobilize their vitality and could not practice at all.
There are only a few mind-training methods with some bright spots, which can temper the soul and thoughts and lay a foundation.
Ma Futian is different. His cultivation method is not passed down from his ancestors, but when he went out for a walk many years ago, he relied on various methods to kill a man-eating upper realm demon and obtained a book of upper realm Taoism from him. Secret techniques.
The monster's background was actually not small, but just like the Tianhe River God, it was also trapped by the trap set by the ancestor of the Bai family, and its power was greatly reduced. Only then was it taken advantage of by Ma Laodao, and then he cultivated all the way to become the number one among the local people in China. Master.
It can be seen from this that the reason why the ancestor of the Bai family has heavenly merits is actually because of his actions. Although his original intention was to eliminate competitors, he unintentionally benefited many sentient beings in this world.
A little Taoist priest who followed him was not enthusiastic about this scene of everyone complimenting him. He hid aside and wandered away.
"Ping'er, don't be so absent-minded, and communicate more with your peers. You are practicing alone at home, and your motivation to practice has been lacking recently, and you don't know how fast you are progressing. You can solve these problems by communicating with these peers." Ma Futian He whispered secretly.
"Dad, don't we Taoists all talk about purity and inaction?" Ma Ping, as a former Internet addict, has never liked to communicate with many people.
"What do you know? Don't be deceived by those boring Taoist classics! Cultivation is all about bravery, diligence, hard work and progress. If you are pure and inactive, what kind of motivation can you have to practice? If you sit all day talking about Taoism and empty talk, what progress can you make in your cultivation? ?" Ma Futian said in a tone of "I hate my son but I can't transform into a dragon".
"I know, then I'll go talk to someone." Ma Ping said honestly.
"That's good. Remember, your goals are the geniuses in Tianqingshan, not vulgar people. Never forget the lessons Gu Buwei taught you." Ma Laodao finally reminded.
"I understand." Ma Ping's face hardened, as if he had fallen into that terrible scene again. He was smearing Tian Qingshan on the Internet, and was discovered by the other party. It was only because he was a new junior disciple that he sold himself out to escape the disaster.
I don’t know how that junior fellow apprentice is doing in Tianqingshan Sect
I haven't seen you for more than a year, so I must have a green head... After all, the exercises on Tianqing Mountain require dual cultivation. It is impossible not to find a Taoist partner, and if you do, you will bear the risk of being cheated.
Thinking of this, Ma Ping felt extremely uncomfortable. He was an honest man, but he let others bear the responsibility for the trouble he caused. This guilt has always been weighing on his heart.
"Very good, it seems that you haven't forgotten it. You must remember that if you want to be a saint in front of others and be proud of yourself, you have to endure hardships behind your back, and you have to endure great hardships. Look at the Venerable Shenlong, how can he be praised by so many People are so in awe that they don't dare to say a bad word behind their backs. That's all because they practice every moment and never slack off, so they can achieve great strength."
Ma Ping nodded silently and gritted his teeth secretly, yes, you must endure hardship.
Venerable Shenlong looks so majestic on the scene, but I don’t know how hard it is behind the scenes...
Maybe there are some geniuses who can study first while lying down. However, if you want to become a master and leave a name in history, who has not endured great hardship...
… …
"Big Rich Man, can you please wake up early? Today you are going to attend a meeting." The uncle said very depressedly to a guy who was sleeping soundly in the lounge.
"I know, I know. Don't keep nagging like this, okay? I know it, it's just a small scene." Fang Ning said, but quickly got up.
"Do you still have the dress I wore last time to worship heaven and earth? Put it on for me."
"Is that suitable for you?"
"I don't know if it's suitable or not, I just know it's more stylish." Fang Ning walked out of the lounge.
… …
Not long after, a knight-errant dressed in Han-style long clothes slowly descended from the sky and landed on Langjuxu Mountain.
"Look, it's the Lord Shenlong who has arrived!"
The crowd immediately abandoned Ma Laodao and gathered around Knight A.
What a joke, I can't stand next to this great god.
People come and go in the clouds and mist every day, walking in the sky... Those who have the ability to catch up and talk to them, but they don't need to talk to them.
Now it is a rare opportunity to at least look familiar and ask for WeChat. If you are targeted by some evil heretic in the future, you can have a place to spend money to ward off disasters.
Seeing this, Ma Futian's eyes were complicated, he shook his head and sighed, and then he also walked over.
He still had something to do and wanted to ask this great god for help.
"Honorable Sir, it's been a long time. Do you still remember me? I'm Liu Xiong... Last year, you were the one who killed the evil ghost in the family and saved the lives of our whole family." A fat man with a shiny face began to climb up relation.
"Remember, remember, your family seems to be involved in mining, right?" Fang Ning nodded.
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty has a really good memory. Recently, a few pieces of rare mineral mother were unearthed from the mine. I will give them to Your Majesty after a meeting." Liu Xiong said excitedly.
"No, no, you had already repaid the kindness of saving you on the spot. I have never been rewarded for my merits, so I'd better trade it at a fair price later." Fang Ning shook his head.
"Uh, that's fine." Liu Xiong knew this guy's temperament and didn't insist anymore.
"Venerable Sir, I am Zhao Long. You also saved my life. At that time, I went crazy in my cultivation and attracted a group of evil spirits who wanted to devour my essence. It was you who fell from the sky..." Another person came forward to talk.
"Haha, it's all my job to talk about it." Fang Ning really enjoyed the atmosphere of being complimented and recognized. He dressed up in special clothes and pretended to forget about himself.
