Chapter 1499: The heart of the old man and the love of talents

Qi Xiuyuan looked at Jiang Hao, "Brother Jiang, I will send my junior brother to Master Yuheng's place first."

Jiang Hao nodded.

Qi Xiuyuan didn't delay any longer and took Ma Sichun to the back mountain. Only Jiang Hao and Xuan Ji were left in front of the hall. The old Taoist stroked his beard and looked at Jiang Hao with interest, "My friend, Xiuyuan just sent a message and said that you saved them. I don't know which sect you came from."

The old Taoist spoke slowly and had a kind of charm. Jiang Hao bowed to the old Taoist, "My younger generation, Jiang Hao, is a casual cultivator?"

The real person Xuan Ji looked up and down at Jiang Hao. At this time, Jiang Hao did not hide his cultivation. The old Taoist could naturally see his strength clearly. He stroked his beard and asked, "How old are you this year?"

“Twenty-one.”

The old Taoist was surprised, "At the age of twenty-one, one can reach the peak of foundation building cultivation. None of my hundreds of disciples in Laoshan can reach your level."

"But this time I really have to thank my friend for saving Xiuyuan. Sichun and the others. Xiuyuan may take some time to come here. How about going to the pavilion to have a cup of tea?"

Jiang Hao immediately bowed, "How dare the elder refuse the order?"

The two walked up the steps and soon arrived at a pavilion halfway up the mountain. They sat in the pavilion and looked into the distance. They saw the mist and mist. In the distance, there was the blue sea, which appeared faintly among the clouds.

The two sat down at the stone table. The old Taoist whisk gently, and a pot of tea and two cups were added to the stone table. The old Taoist whisked the whisk again, and the teapot flew up by itself, filling the two tea cups with tea, and a tea fragrance filled the fragrance of tea.

Although Jiang Hao was so close, he could not see through the spells that the old Taoist used. Perhaps it was a storage magic weapon or some kind of magic.

"This tea is produced in Laoshan. The dozen tea trees have been around for more than a thousand years. I'll try it, how it tastes." Old Dao said with a smile.

Jiang Hao picked up the teacup, first saluted the old Taoist slightly, and then sent it to his mouth for a sip. He felt that it was slightly hot in his mouth, but it was extremely refreshing. The tea contained extremely strong spiritual energy. After the hot tea was eaten, the spiritual energy dispersed and quickly flowed into the meridians. Jiang Hao only felt extremely comfortable all over.

"Good tea!"

Jiang Hao couldn't help but praise.

The old Taoist smiled and nodded slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"I see a spiritual light on Sichun's chest wrapping around the wound and preventing the poison from spreading. Xiuyuan and Sichun know how to do this. I guess it was my friend. Judging from the consumption of the spiritual energy, I am afraid it can only last for about two hours. It's a thousand miles away. It's really hard for me to do it." said the old Taoist.

"As long as a practitioner encounters a Taoist, he should do his best to rescue him." Jiang Hao said.

"I wonder where you learned this skill?" The old Taoist looked at Jiang Hao and asked.

Jiang Hao heard that this Xuan Ji Zhenren obviously had the intention to reach the bottom, but he was prepared for it and immediately moved out the words he had thought of before and said respectfully:

"There was a monk in my ancestors who was my uncle's generation. Later, when I returned home, I passed on the cultivation method. Our family has been passed down. To my generation, I am a disciple in my family. In fact, I am a scholar. I have been studying at home and taking the imperial examinations. I have nothing to do to practice to increase my spirit. It is also a blessing to attract heaven and give me some gains."

The old Taoist looked at Jiang Hao and muttered a few words that Jiang Hao said in his heart.

Practice when you are free.

Some gains.

There are hundreds of disciples in our sect who are earlier than you and older than you. They practice diligently in the morning and evening, but they have never seen you reach the peak of foundation building.

"Then how are you studying?" asked the old Taoist.

"I passed the college entrance examination this summer and just passed the scholar exam. I luckily won a case leader." Jiang Hao said.

The old Taoist looked at Jiang Hao, thought a little, took a sip of tea, and asked with a smile on his face, "Do you read Confucianism and study Taoism? Do you have time to learn Taoist classics?"

Jiang Hao bowed slightly, "Three Thousand Daozangs, I have seen the 316 Dongzhen Division, the 303 Dongxuan Division, the 364 Dongshen Division, the 117 Taixuan Division, the 66 Taiping Division, the 24 Taiqing Division, and the 240 main divisions."

Xuan Ji Zhenren was shocked, "You have seen all these and learned them?"

"I dare not say that I understand everything, I can only say that I have recorded it." Jiang Hao said.

The old Taoist blinked and looked at Jiang Hao and asked, "Do you never forget it?"

Jiang Hao smiled, "I dare not say that I will never forget it. I will write down everything after reading it two or three times."

The old Taoist thought to himself, no wonder this young man has achieved such a success. He turned out to be extremely talented and really a seed of cultivation. If someone leads him to the beginning, his future will inevitably shine brightly, and the achievement of the golden elixir is just around the corner.

True Xuan Ji immediately developed a love for Jiang Hao.

"Have you ever seen the Dharma?"

"I have read some of the Heart Sutra, the Amitabha Sutra, the Ksitigarbha Sutra, the Avatamsaka Sutra, the Diamond Sutra, the Amitabha Sutra, the Shurangama Sutra, the Ten Good Deeds Sutra, the Lotus Sutra, the Forty-Two Chapters Sutra... etc., there are about four or five hundred Buddhist scriptures that I have read, and I have read the annotations, but I can only say that I can swallow it whole." Jiang Hao replied.

The old Taoist thought to myself, I have practiced Taoism for three hundred years, and have you swallowed a lot of them in a hurry?

Xuan Ji Zhenren looked at Jiang Hao with a smile and asked, "You have also learned Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism. So which one do you think is higher and which one is lower?"

Jiang Hao's mind moved. Is this old Taoist going to take the exam himself?

He thought about it and thought that Laoshan was inherited by Lu Zu, who was Quanzhen's ancestor. He was a typical combination of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. When the old Taoist asked this question, he was suspected of setting a trap for himself.

Jiang Hao thought for a while and said, "Buddhism sees nature, Taoism protects life, Confucianism enlightens ethics, Confucius' four distinctions, Laozi's embraces one, Muni's emptiness five, are all cultivated by oneself, Confucius' benevolent people, Laozi's help in the world, and Muni's saving suffering are all beneficial to others."

Xuan Ji smiled and looked at Jiang Hao with a brighter look.

At this moment, Qi Xiuyuan stepped up the stone steps and gave a gift to Xuan Ji Zhenren.

The real person Xuan Ji looked at Qi Xiuyuan and asked, "What's wrong with your junior brother?"

"Mr. Yuheng has seen it and has taken the pills for Sichun, saying that he can completely remove the evil spirits in three days." Qi Xiu walked around.

Master Xuan Ji nodded and stood up from the stone bench. Jiang Hao also stood up immediately. Master Xuan Ji pointed at Qi Xiuyuan and said, "My friend Jiang saved you and sent you back to Laoshan thousands of miles away. You need to have a good hospitality. These days, I will take my friend Jiang to make a good trip to Laoshan. You can go to the Nine Palaces, Eight Views, and Seventy-Two Mansions."

"It's the master." Qi Xiuyuan responded happily.

With the permission of his master, Qi Xiuyuan could take Jiang Hao to walk around the mountain gate without any restrictions.

The real person Xuan Ji turned his head to look at Jiang Hao again, and said with a smile: "Little Friend Jiang, can you play Go?"

"Can you get a little?" Jiang Hao said respectfully.

"Well, the old Taoist will come to you to play chess and have tea." As he said that, he waved the whisk, and the teapot and tea cup on the stone table disappeared. The old Taoist suddenly flew up, and went out of the pavilion to float directly towards the sea of ​​clouds. Jiang Hao saw a white cloud rising under the old Taoist's feet, dragging the old Taoist to fly further and further.

Jiang Hao watched the old Taoist fly away calmly, completely hiding in the mist of clouds. Although he had been on a plane and had made armor, he was not unfamiliar with flying, but he still felt indescribable excitement when he saw this typical fairy flying.

This style is so magical.

Seeing Master Feiyuan, Qi Xiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Jiang Hao with a smile, "Brother Jiang, Master allows you to go around everywhere, which is rare. Where do you want to see?"

"Oh, can you go to the Sutra Library?" Jiang Hao asked in surprise.

Qi Xiuyuan hesitated for a moment, "You can go, but you can only go on the first floor. There are limited orders on the second floor and the third floor. Only disciples above the foundation-building stage of this sect can go on the third floor. Only those who receive the Master's Decree can go on the third floor."

Jiang Hao thought it was good to go to the first floor.

"Are you going to the Sutra Library now?" Qi Xiuyuan asked.

"No, go to the hall first and worship the Three Pure Ones and the Immortals." Jiang Hao said.

The two of them first came to the main hall and bowed in one by one. Laoshan was very prosperous at this time. Unlike later generations, Japanese invaders destroyed the Taoist temples. At the most miserable time, there was only a small ruined temple left. Even if it developed later, it was far worse than the peak time.

First, I came to the main hall where I enshrine the statue of Lu Zudao, and the formal outfit was very solemn. In the side hall, I enshrine the statue of the Eight Immortals, including the Han Zhongli, Tieguai Li, Zhang Guolao, Lu Dongbin, He Xiangu, etc., and the statues were made differently.

The door of this side hall is very interesting, but it is facing outside. From the door, you can see that there is a vast East China Sea in the distance, just in line with the legend of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea.

Qi Xiuyuan introduced: "Lu Zu once transformed into Lu Dongbin, experienced all kinds of worldly affairs, and left many legends among the people. The Eight Immortals are the most well-known of them."

Next to it, Jiang Hao saw a stone tablet. He didn't know when it was left with others. It looked like it had been a few years, and there was a poem on it.

"The mirage holds eyes open, burns incense and prays to the Eight Immortals.

Xu Fu went to the East to seek medicine, and Emperor Qin sought to survive in the Western ghosts.

The world is vicissitudes of life and the plank road is on the road, and the gods are floating in the clouds.

Don’t dream of greed and worry about all the worries will be eliminated."

Then the two continued to worship and came to the Palace of Emperor Donghua to worship Emperor Donghua, Emperor Dongwang, the ancestor of male immortals, and had a high status in the fairy world. It was recorded that he was the authentic master of Lu Dongbin, and it was also very likely that he was Zhu Bajie's master.

Finally entering the Sanqing Hall, Jiang Hao respectfully paid homage to Yuanshi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun and Daode Tianzun.

"Where do you want to see next?" Qi Xiuyuan asked.

"It's better to turn one by one, and you can count wherever you go. It's hard to get the great sect of the Immortal Sect and get permission from Master Xuan Ji. Anyway, I'm preparing for the Nine Palaces, Eight Views, and Seventy-Two Mansions." Jiang Hao said with a smile.

Qi Xiuyuan laughed, "No problem, then let's just turn one by one."

The two of them can't take off and fly, so they can only walk on their two feet. The Nine Palaces and Eight Views are still concentrated, while the Seventy-Two Palaces are scattered within a radius of 400 miles, so it is not so easy to turn around.

When I came to a mountain and built a very small Taoist temple on the edge of the cliff, Qi Xiuyuan smiled and said, "There is a cloud viewing platform, which can be seen from the sun, moon and sea. I occasionally go to practice on it, which is very good for improving my mood."

Walking forward again, there was a Taoist temple halfway up the mountain. Qi Xiuyuan introduced: "That is Uncle Kaiyang's place. Uncle Kaiyang likes to refine magic weapons, and he usually tinkers in his own Taoist temple to create magic weapons."

Jiang Hao asked curiously: "There is no Dan Medicine Pavilion in Laoshan, is there a place like the weapon refining pavilion?"

Qi Xiuyuan shook his head, "No, the masters' uncles are just a hobby to refine alchemy and weapons. The sects do not have a special place to refine alchemy and weapons. If the sect or disciples need it, they can ask the masters' uncles for help or exchange things for it."

Jiang Haoxin said that it was different from what he imagined. In the past, there were special organizations in Xianxia novels or games. The monks in this world seemed to prefer freedom and did not form an industrial system.

But he felt that this was good. Isn’t cultivating immortals just for a more comfortable life? The best state of life is to live for interest.

"Xiuyuan, I want to visit this senior Kaiyang." Jiang Hao wanted to see the refining weapon. He still had a lot of good things in his space, and maybe he could exchange for a few magic weapons.
