Today I hold the world

Just after the awn seeds, the sound of cicadas, the summer solstice is coming.

From the Jumo Sect at the southeast end of the Puyang River region, all the way to the northwest to the North Ridge crossing, many forces have received invitations from the Chilongmen of Qingling Mountain.

As small as various well-known foundation-building forces, as large as Huashen's sect and Mozong, they all sent teams of monks to participate in the ceremony to invite them.

Because these people took the initiative to visit in advance, they were all rejected the first time. Although they were upset at the time, when they received the invitation again, they felt much more at ease. They all thought that the new owner of Qingling Mountain had rules and rules.

Everyone is willing to associate with people with rules, because having rules means being measured, being principled means that you can speculate, and the cost of negotiation is very low.

The grand ceremony will be held the day before the summer solstice, and the North River Ridge crossing has already arranged for the Chilongmen team to stay there for a long time, not only to welcome the guests, but also to establish a boundary.

This means that it is very obvious that from Jindi in the west to Beiheling Road in the east, it is all under the jurisdiction of Chilongmen from now on.

The monks stationed there to greet them were not random and nameless, but Tao Jintan, Jiang Yuzhou, Li Mofang, Tao Yuanming, Zhang Chou, etc. combined the old Chilongmen, the new Chilongmen, Huaishan people and Muye Malin people. combination.

Among them, the monks in the Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivation Realm are all the best in the same level, and the idle forces have to hide those bad thoughts in their minds just seeing this kind of ostentation.

There were one or two Golden Cores who were quite dissatisfied with this new power at first, and they didn't send fellow daoists to do things in the welcoming ceremony, but when they went to experience Jiang Yuzhou's majestic and restrained terrifying crisis, they could only slander the heavens. It's unfair that a foundation-building cultivator is so heart-wrenching.

On the day before the summer solstice, the spirit boats, wooden ducks and various flying objects outside Qingling Mountain were unknowingly coming and going. According to Song Yingxing's calculations, by noon, there should be [-] big and small forces coming to the gathering.

Today's Qingling Mountain is majestic, with seven peaks standing in forests, four ponds with blue light rising up, and the sea of ​​clouds is full of aura and sunshine.

A fairy style has taught many leaders of small sects to be envious and inferior.

And Zhong Ziyan, who was born as the owner of this place, was looking at his precious grandson standing in the Chilong Hall of Tianshu Peak, kneeling down to Jian Yong.

"Master, please accept the disciple's three respects!"

Zhong Shouyi is about to turn eighteen now, he is young and strong, lean and powerful, he is dressed in black and yellow belts, and he is dressed like a common boy.

"Hehe, get up quickly. From today onwards, I will devote myself to cultivating you as a teacher. I hope you can carry forward my Chilong School in the future!"

At their level, accepting apprentices is no longer a simple relationship, Jian Yong's words and deeds have connotations.

Why not "I hope you can carry forward the orthodoxy of being a teacher in the future"? Because the person in power today is after all the one beside me.

Besides, this child is his blood relative, no matter how stupid Jian Yong is, he can understand the reason.

"Master, now that this child is worshiping under my sect, how do you think he should get his Dao name?"

"Since I am your disciple, I will let you guide me in everything I do in the future."

Jian Yong nodded and stroked his beard, then pondered for a moment, looked at Zhong Shou and said:

"My Chilongmen thrives on the equator and prospers on the ecliptic. From now on, your Taoist name will be called: Huanglongzi."

Zhong Shou bowed his head repeatedly, and this Fang Daomen's first bow was just bending over and pinching his fingers, but from this moment, he has truly entered the Taoist sect.

Different from what those idle cultivators think, even in today's Chilongmen, the etiquette of apprenticeship is not complicated, it's just so plain.

This family has experienced life and death for a long time, and they all know that the way to survive is to be flat and smooth.

Outside the hall, Zhong Ziyan's big apprentice Hui Kuosu had been waiting for a long time. Seeing that he was busy inside, he jumped in quickly. Jian Yong only made an introduction: "This is the head disciple."

Zhong Shouyi was about to bow down to worship, Hui Kuoban grabbed him, "Hey, brother, you don't need to be polite, brother, I'll take you to visit Qingling Mountain, it's fun."

The two young men walked out of the palace gate quickly. Zhong Ziyan looked at his apprentice and smiled lightly, "This kid doesn't want to suffer at all. He is obviously younger than Shou, so he called himself a senior brother first."

"After all, the master comes first." Jian Yong echoed with a smile.

The two of them went out of the hall, Hui Kou saw that the boy next to him was taller than himself, so he anxiously asked:

"I can clearly hear your conversation in the hall. Your name is Zhong Shouyi? How old are you?"

"Brother, I am seventeen this year."

"Oh, that's it..." Hui's eyeballs turned bright, and he took out two emerald green cicadas from his bosom.

"You're very young, my name is Chi Qingzi. Hey, it's the first time we meet, I'm going to give you a big gift from my brother."

He didn't care whether the other party wanted it or not, he just picked up a cicada that looked thinner and stuffed it in Zhong Shouyi's hand.

"Look at it, haven't you seen it before? This thing is called Ling Yuchan. Although it is small in stature, it is a full-fledged first-order spirit beast. It just came out of the nest yesterday, so I collected it."

Afterwards, he handed over the basic communication control method to Zhong Shouyi, and when he learned that the other party's cultivation base was only the third level of Qi training, two full realms lower than his own, he patted him on the shoulder with peace of mind:

"Junior Brother Zhong, you can just hang out with me from now on, just call me Senior Brother Chi Qing, and with our identities in the sect, no one dares to bully us!"

To put it simply, Chi Qingzi steered his little spirit boat: "Come up, senior brother will take you to visit this wonderful spirit mountain."

As the spirit boat passed through the gap like a blue rainbow, it soared into the sky, Hui Kuan complained:

"At the moment, I can only use this first-rank high-grade wind spirit boat to gallop. The sect implemented a new regulation half a month ago. You must have merit points to be able to ride a high-rank flying spirit weapon. Even my direct disciple, the head of the sect, has to abide by it." .

Wait for me to make some contributions in the second half of the year, and then let you experience the joy of controlling the mysterious fire shuttle to fly in the sea of ​​clouds..."

The two gradually became acquainted with each other.

More than a hundred years later, at the last moment when Zhong Shouyi jumped into the bottomless abyss of the East China Sea, he remembered the young man in black clothes who once took him to swim in the sea of ​​clouds at the mountain gate. Comfortable and carefree.

It's a pity that things in the world are changing, the yellow is overturned, life is more bitter than happy, and it's hard to know how precious time is.

******

In the evening, Liu Xiaoheng, dressed in the Chilongmen's robe of Zhuxuan Juanyun, crossed the welcoming platform of Tianji Peak, and his left and right hands respectively took a girl and a boy up the avenue to the main peak.

"When I meet your Uncle Jian later, you have to be smarter, the girl doesn't need to teach you, Xiaoyue, I'm talking about you."

"Master, do I have to ask him? Isn't it a long-standing rule of the sect to allocate schools before tomorrow's ceremony?"

"You know what, the distribution is very fair, but fairness can learn skills? The law of the sect just sets a lower limit. It doesn't care how good you are, as long as you can't be bad.

But you have to cultivate the best skills, if you don’t choose a good master in this enrollment, you will be able to compete with those who have family background in the future competition with others?”

After being scolded a few times by Liu Xiaoheng, Yue Guanqing reluctantly responded twice.

On the other side of the pavilion next to him, the girl was dragging a peach branch to keep up with Liu Xiaoheng's pace.

Not long after, they came to the Recording Hall next to the Tianshu Hall. The room was brightly lit, and there were disciples who were busy coming and going.

Liu Xiaoheng tidied up his clothes, calmed down, blinked at the two little things, and led them into the side hall.

Five or six fellow Taoists of the same rank with their families had already gathered there.

Gao Ding, Wen Tingjian, Shen Gonghu, Gu Juan, Yao Guangxiao and others looked back and saw Liu Sandao walking in from outside the door, hey, meeting acquaintances is extremely embarrassing.

"Uh...haha, it's all here..."

He thought he was greedy enough to bring two children, but he didn't expect that in the most greedy cemetery, Wen Tingjian was pulling five dolls behind him, and it seemed that he had brought all the high-quality talented disciples here.

Jian Yong beckoned helplessly, "Sit down, if you do things like this, can you pretend to be a sect law?"

"How could it be, Senior Brother Jian, we all have to use several times the contribution points to support these children, which is completely in line with the law!" Gu Juan played a scoundrel in a serious manner.

Liu Xiaoheng hurriedly agreed, "Yes, yes, yes, we are following the law and spending ten times the amount of contributions to help these children, which is absolutely in line with the sect's laws."

There are always loopholes in the new law, not to mention that this kind of thing is also human nature, Jian Yong pondered for a moment, then sighed:

"Okay then, each family should report their names, which teacher do they want to vote for?"

Liu Xiaoheng rushed to the front first, "Brother Jian, let these two children come first!"

Gao Ding cast a disgusted look at the big guy.

Jian Yong asked the names of the two dolls, and the girl said: "Master, my name is Li Xiaoyao."

The boy said, "Uncle Master, my name is Yue Guanshan."

With a bang, Liu Xiaoheng slapped Yue Guanqing hard on the back of the head, "His name is Yue Guanqing."

The other group of children present covered their mouths and snickered, Yue Guanqing was even more annoyed, but she could only grumble silently.

"Let these two children be cast under Chang Zizai's junior disciple." Liu Xiaoheng didn't care what these two little things were thinking now, even if he spent all his family money today, he still wanted them to find a good master.

Among the people in the sect, Chang Fatty, Tantai Qingsheng, and Jiang Yuzhou are the most powerful under the Golden Core.

Tantai was full of ghosts, Jiang Yuzhou was too arrogant with his sword skills, and he looked down on him before, so Liu Xiaoheng felt that Chang Zizao was the most suitable.

"My two children want to vote for Brother Tantai to sit down." Yao Guangxiao went forward to arrange registration.

And Gao Ding, who was on the periphery of the crowd, was very happy at this time, looking at Liu Xiaoheng who was enjoying himself, he snickered: "Silly man, if you only care about combat power in training disciples, then all the strong people in Huai Mountain will have to get out of the cracks in the rocks." Only by jumping out can you be as powerful as Sun Monkey."

His Royal Highness Tianshu Chuanxi Hall has 49 resident masters, who donate their salary at [-] o'clock every month, which is naturally a great welfare position.

The reason why these families rushed to the back door on the eve of the ceremony was to choose a good master for the old department in advance. After all, every child has to stay in the Chuanxitang for ten years, which is the key ten years to determine the direction of life.

Each teacher recruits at most two direct disciples through this method. The opportunity is in front of him, and someone from Liu Xiaoheng's background must be firmly seized.
