The middle-aged Taoist reached out to close the classics, took his hands and walked slowly out of the thatched hut, looking at his companion under the stone steps, and said, "I didn't expect that there would be so many people in the younger generation who would be on the Japanese scroll."
The Taoist under the stone steps asked in confusion: "Who is the one who rolled it out today?"
"Ning Que."
"This name seems to be familiar... Is it the scholar of the academy who is better than Longqing?"
"Yes, although this boy has not yet entered the Cave Xuan, he has already realized the Tao of Talismanship, so he is qualified to be included in the volume."
The Taoist under the stone steps was slightly stunned, and then exclaimed, "The Master is really amazing."
"Yes." The Taoist shook his head and said with a complicated emotion: "Although this little guy named Ning Que was not in Chang'an when he entered the second floor of the academy, he was his student after all. In this year, he was a student. I started climbing the talisman path lightly. After more than ten years, I believe that this name will definitely appear in the first few pages of the Japanese word "Song". "
After saying this, he said some gossip, and the Taoist said goodbye to his companions, walked forward along the edge of the lake in front of the thatched hut , and walked along the way with the lake, mountains, forest wind. It took no time for him to walk out. Taoist temple.
Facing the breeze blowing from the cliff, the Taoist squinted his eyes and looked at the mountain that was vaguely visible in the distance and the majestic Taoist temples in the mountains. He smiled slightly, and his smile was filled with tranquility.
The simple and ancient Taoist temple outside the Taoist temple behind me was quiet and speechless, as if they were also quietly watching the prosperity, solemnity and nobleness of the world over there. There is an old horizontal plaque on the Taoist temple that was left countless traces by wind and rain, with the word "Zhishou" written on it. .

Hundreds of kilometers east of the east is the sea of storms. After the four-season hurricanes that terrified the world, they came here and turned into a light breeze, with plenty of moisture and coolness. But there is no ability to destroy, so the summer here is completely less boring than Chang'an City.
This country is not large in size, and it is not prosperous because of its underdeveloped business. Apart from those believers who devoutly bow to the mountains and worship the sky, there are not many idle people. However, the dangerous hurricanes turn into breeze and drizzle here, with beautiful mountains but not high and dangerous, with quiet and soft water but not turbulent, with rich plains and the quiet forests among the deer, which is truly a place of favor for Haotian . There are beautiful hills in the Qing Dynasty that stretch across the west, so they are called Xiling.
The mountain that you can see from afar is called Taoshan. Although the peach blossoms on the mountain were cut off by someone holding a wine and holding a sword many years ago, relying on the favor of Haotian , the land has been fertile and fertile, and has long been restored to its original state. The alien peach blossoms planted in the mountains have been in full bloom from early spring to late summer, and are dense and lush . Challenging eyes .
There are several extremely neat and smooth cliffs on Taoshan, as if the sky had descended its divine power and chopped it out with a giant axe . There are countless Taoist temples with different styles on the cliffs . They are combined together to form A glorious and solemn hall group is the Xiling Temple.
The temple is built on Taoshan Mountain and is divided into three layers. On the upper cliff square closest to the sky , there are four most spectacular Taoist grand views. Among them, the Taoist temple near the cliff is made of huge black stones, and the shape is square and not like ordinary Taoist. Architecture, forever, stare at the believers who bow down on the ground and bow down on the mountain road indifferently .
The Black Taoist Temple Hall is extremely spacious and vast. There is a curtain woven by pearls and jade hundreds of meters deep. Behind the curtain is a throne made of black jade carved in the South China Sea . The ruling priest, one of the three priests of the Haotian Divine Sect, is a priest who is the priest. He would sit under this throne and listen to the reports of his subordinate priests and handle Taoist affairs.
The ruling priest was wearing a red robe. Today he did not order his subordinates to lift the pearl curtain, but looked at the curtain expressionlessly, as if he wanted to look at the powder on it.
As one of the three priests of Xiling Temple, the ruling master of the ruling commander, he is in charge of the most terrifying violent organization of the Haotian Taoist Sect. He has the most powerful cultivation man under his command, and is the most powerful in the public. He has a reputation in the world. It is also the most terrifying. Over the years, countless heresies have been secretly arrested because of his words, and many evil deeds in the Demon Sect have become ghosts in the fire because of his light finger.
In the eyes of billions of people in the world, the Lord of the Xiling Temple , the Master Haotian , may not be the ruling master wearing a red robe, which is terrible. There have been rumors that the reason why the ruling master's robe did not use the ruling master's robe is the Lord of the Judgment Office. The color is pure black, but bright red because it is stained with all the enemies' blood.
Such a great priest who is at the peak of the world and has supreme terrifying authority, when his face has no expression on his face and his eyes are cold, don't say that the square bead curtain in front of him will be afraid of it, even those who hold it The sword moves in the world, and all the great sword masters who are afraid of the royal power will be afraid of their hearts.
However, today the square bead curtain in front of the great priest was not broken.
The person on the other end of the pearl curtain was not scared to kneel down on the ground, but was still standing calmly.
The bead curtain covers the man's body and face outside the curtain, and only the pair of shoes at the bottom, the pair of shoes that are as bright as blood, embroidered with a few small fish, and the red skirt that is extremely fluffy to the knees. It's obviously a woman.
The ruling master's eyes left from the corner of the red skirt, slowly raised his head, and asked blankly, "Why haven't Longqing come back yet?"
The woman outside the curtain replied, "Why didn't that coward from Longqing come back? How do I know? I have never been in charge of personnel since I was in charge of the Judgment Department. Why do you ask me?"
The crisp sound made her look clearer through the bead curtain. She should be not old and she is still a girl.
The ruling priest's eyes drooped slightly and said, "The name of Ning Que appears on the Sun scroll."
The girl outside the curtain was silent for a moment and said slightly sarcastically : "Ning Que is Longqing's opponent. If he can't even destroy such a small reptile in the state of inconspicuousness, would he still expect me to take action? I would think this is an insult."
The ruling priest's eyes suddenly shone, and then quickly disappeared , saying without any emotion: "Longqing was defeated by this person, so he naturally had to win and restore his heart to Taoism, but I must remind you one thing, although this person is still here The state of inconspicuousness is just an inconspicuous little crawler in your eyes, but he has finally entered the second floor of the academy and became a student of the Master. Even if you pay attention to him in advance, it will not be considered an insult."
"Learning the talisman from Master Yan Se may not necessarily become the second Master Yan Se. I think at least he is not qualified to be worthy of my attention." The girl in red on the curtain said proudly: "Uncle Master, Uncle, at least, now he has no qualifications." , you should be very clear that my goal has always been Junmo , and other people are not qualified to distract me."
"Jun Mo , the second disciple of the academy..." The ruling priest sighed softly, and a hint of mockery appeared on his old face. I don't know if he was mocking the woman outside the curtain or another ignorant person in the world.
"A few years ago, the head sect took you back to the ceremony. You had the opportunity to read the Japanese word "Song" and after you saw Jun Mo's name, it was difficult to calm down because you could not imagine how this could be found in the world. Wait far beyond your cultivation genius, so you always want to surpass this enemy you have never met before."
The ruling priest looked at the woman in red outside the bead curtain and said calmly: "You said other people are not qualified to distract you, but have you ever thought about it? Even I and your brother dare not speak out and win. Junmo , what qualifications do you have to be his opponent? How could you exist in the eyes of the extremely proud second senior brother of the Academy?"
I don't know where the sound fell, and I don't know where the wind blew from Taoshan. I walked through the vast and magnificent palace, and the pearl curtain in the depths of the palace swayed gently, making a crisp sound, shaking the uneasy pearl curtain Outside, you can vaguely see the strap on the girl's red skirt rising in the wind.
The most powerful throne under his command was angry because he was despised. However, the ruling priest seemed to be invisible and continued to say without a look: "The situation in the wasteland recently seems to be a little unstable. The wasteland has been moving south continuously, and I don't know that they will eventually Where will the footsteps go? The head sect is worried that the remnants of the Demon Sect will take advantage of the situation again. As a result of the signs in the heavenly book, he will issue an imperial decree of the Divine Cult. I ruled that the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice must take one step first, and you will set off for the north immediately."
The girl in red was obviously surprised outside the curtain. After a moment of silence, she said, "After all, it's just a small matter. I'm eager to practice in the mountains to break the realm. I ask my uncle to choose another person."
The Grand Temple of Judgment looked at the figure of the girl outside the curtain calmly and said, "The Temple recognizes your talent and perseverance in practice, so when you deliberately left Chen Pipi and left Xiling, your brother was about to swing your sword to kill you, the head sect was I saved you at all costs. But you need to be clear that talent and perseverance are not an absolute guarantee of pride."
"Your brother is proud and calm, and Jun Mo is proud and dull. That's because they have long stood at the peak of the young generation in the world. They are proud. Whether you or Longqing, although you are already excellent enough, you are not in that absolutely powerful In the field, as long as someone is sure to defeat you, you are not qualified to be proud, because this kind of pride without absolute strength guarantees will have a great obstacle to your spiritual practice. "
"Only believe that what you believe is right, and faith can be firm. Absolutely believe that no one can defeat yourself, and pride can be firm. People like your brother and Jun Mo have done this many years ago, and what about you? In the legend of the world, I ruled that the two major officials of the Ministry are amazing figures. In fact, what's so great about you? Long Qing went to Chang'an Academy this time, but he was defeated in the hands of a young man in an inconsolable state. I believe he will have something. I feel, but unfortunately, under the favor of the head and me, you never had the chance to lose once."
The girl outside the curtain was silent for a long time and asked, "Uncle Master, Master and you decided to let me go to the wasteland. Is it because I want me to deliberately seek defeat?"
The ruling priest said coldly: "The master of the academy once said that only by seeking benevolence can one obtain benevolence. Regarding failure, seeking defeat can often lead to undefeated, so letting you seek defeat is to hope that you can truly achieve the future. Undefeated."
The red skirt swayed slightly , the girl saluted outside the curtain, and then turned and left.
A priest of the ruling priest walked in from the side door of the hall. He looked at the girl walking out of the hall with bright golden beads. Looking at the red dress swaying in the wind, he couldn't help but shake his head and walked to Behind the pearl curtain, he respectfully bowed to the ruling priest on the throne, and wanted to speak but stopped.
Everyone in the Xiling Temple knows that the brother of the girl in red must be the next Haotiandao leader, and she is very likely to become the next ruling priest, so this subordinate who is loyal to the ruling priest always feels great. The priest's previous reprimand was too harsh.
The ruling priest knew what the subordinate was thinking, and said expressionlessly: "The head and I asked her to go to the wasteland to give her a chance to see how big the world is. People praise her as a Taoist ignorant, and how many she does have She was confused and thought that she would not have any opinions on what would be beneficial to practicing Taoism."
