Chapter 1 Confucian Apprentice, Childishness
It is said that the vast Shenzhou is vast and mysterious. Since the catastrophe of heaven and earth 126,000 years ago, the dust has settled and Yuyu has clarified. At sunrise and sunset, the years are like water, and heaven and earth are created and life is endless. During this period, there is an endless stream of people who seek immortals and ask for Taoism, so the Middle-earth Shenzhou gave birth to ten immortal paths. The road to immortality is difficult to ascend to the sky. Those who are not mentally tough and talented can't win the championship. Therefore, those who are greedy for shortcuts, do more things that are harmful to others and self-interest, and their hearts have magic barriers are born. Therefore, there are five demon sects, and all the monsters in the world who want to ascend to the sky in one step to get rid of the suffering of beasts, so they give birth to the three saints of the demon clan and occupy thousands of miles of sea territory. , so the world has three points, and the immortals and demons stand on three feet.
The middle soil of China has a territory of thousands of miles, with mountains and rivers and a pleasant climate, which is suitable for human habitation. Outside the Middle Land, there are also four mountains, called Taiyi Mountain in the extreme east, Ziwei Mountain in the extreme south, Haotian Mountain in the extreme west, Zhenwu Mountain in the extreme north, and Jixuanyuan Mountain in the middle of China. It is known in the world as the Five Emperors Mountain. It is said that the Five Emperors Mountain has a long history. It can be traced back to the time when the ancient emperor opened the heavens and earth. It is thousands of miles wide, towering into the clouds. It is called the five pillars of the sky. .
Eight thousand miles southwest of Zhongji Xuanyuan Mountain, there is a mountain, called Haoshan, and there is a water under the mountain, called Luoshui. Between the famous mountains and rivers, the heaven and earth are full of aura, outstanding people and spirits. The vast mountains are like spring all year round, and the vegetation is lush. Among them, there are many immortals and strange grasses, and there are also spiritual birds and beasts. It is a good place to ask for immortals everywhere. Middle-earth The Confucian Garden, one of the ten immortals, is located here.
In the evening, the sunset was like fire, the red clouds were all over the sky, and a group of people came at the foot of the mountain. This group of people, the team is loose and dragging. Except for three men and two women and five young people, all of them are childish children aged five or six.
"Pay attention, one by one, don't fall behind."
One of the young men with a sword shouted. These five young people are all handsome men, and women are beautiful. They are all first-class young talents, among which the first woman in purple is the best.
"Everyone, hold on, be sure to rush to the Confucian Garden before dark." The first woman in purple shirt shouted.
The group of children chatted, some were tired, some shouted hungry, and it was unforgivable, but the two teenagers, who did not say a word, buried their heads in the road one after the other.
"Do not make any noise! How can such a heart be worthy of the children of Confucianism!"
The woman in purple scolded, and the children immediately shut up and dared not complain any more.
"This fairy sister, how far is the Confucian Garden from here?" A teenager in cloth with a thin figure and a slightly dark face asked.
This fairy sister called the purple girl very useful, and saw that this teenager was one of the two teenagers who had been silent before. She was even more fond of her and couldn't help stretching her face.
"It's not far. Turn over this hillside and go deep at the foot of the mountain. Third brother, send each of them a pill to avoid grain.
The teenagers took refuge with Gu Dan and suddenly felt that they were full of saliva and energy. The previous fatigue was swept away, and they were curious and admired.
The thin young man with a black face opened his mouth and asked again, "Fairy sister, when I wait for the Confucian Garden, can I really practice immortality and become an immortal?"
"Of course, but for those who are talented and tenacious, our Confucian garden will teach according to their aptitude."
"The boy is reading and heard that there are ten immortals in the middle of China. I don't know what the Confucian Garden ranks?"
Seeing that the black-faced girl was endless and didn't know the importance, the red-faced teenager beside him, who had been silent, hurriedly pulled her sleeves and hinted not to say more.
The purple-shirted girl's face suddenly turned gloomy, and her previous good impression was swept away and ignored. The three brothers next to him smiled and said, "I'm one of the best."
The children are jubilant and can enter one of the best Taoist sects in the world, but they have been blessed by several generations, and they are looking forward to a better future.
The black-faced teenager still had to ask questions. The red-faced teenager beside him hurriedly pulled and looked at each other angrily to stop it. This action could not help but win the favor of the disciples of Confucianism.
Everyone's feet increased their efforts. In a moment, the sun went down, the sky was getting darker, and in the depths of the mountains and forests, birds and beasts roared. All the children were creepy and tremoured, and the little girl among them was faintly crying.
"What are you afraid of! With a vast breath in my heart, all evils will not invade the demons. With your courage, how can you overcome all difficulties and ascend to the immortal road in the future? The purple-shirted girl suddenly shouted, and the timid children were scared and dared not make a sound.
In the depths of the mountain forest, a gloomy wind suddenly burst out, and a dark shadow suddenly burst out, blocking the way, but it was a giant python.
This python is as high as dozens of feet, the bucket is thick and thin, its eyes are like copper bells, its teeth are like steel blades, the dark red tongue letter is exposed, the snake saliva drips, and the grass and gravel are corroded.
There was a scream, and the children's legs and feet were weak, and their two legs trembled. Only the red-faced teenager who had been silent before shouted, "Don't be afraid to get together, and you immortals will kill the enemy."
The disciples of the Confucian garden couldn't help praising it secretly. The purple-shirted girl was not afraid at all. The purple spirit rose all over her body and met them: "What an evil beast, how dare you make a time in the Confucian garden world. When I take it, go back to practice the equipment and practice elixir."
Two purple gas at the fingertips, like a sharp sword, shot directly into the eyes of the python.
This python has also been practicing for hundreds of years. It has spirituality and knows the power of these two qi swords. At that moment, the snake shook its body and dodged it first, and then a huge mouth came with a mouthful of snake saliva.
The purple atmosphere around the purple-shirted girl is getting stronger and stronger, gradually covering her figure. The yellow-green poisonous snake salivated as if it had encountered an invisible barrier. It was shaken away by purple gas and fell into the surrounding grass, "sneered" and emitted smoke. The purple-shirted girl is as fast as lightning, and the fingertip sword is getting longer and longer, becoming as soft as silk, like a purple ribbon, layer by layer, wrapping the body of the python.
The python was shocked and knew that it had encountered a strong hand and suddenly retreated. The huge body kept shaking, rampaging, breaking free from the bondage and disappearing into the dense grass.
When the purple-shirted girl saw that she was careless for a moment and was escaped by the python, she couldn't help but be furious and scolded: "Evil beast! Where to go!" I want to catch up with him. Unexpectedly, as soon as she was about to start, she suddenly saw a green green light in the dark forest in front of her, which was dazzling. After the loud noise, a huge shadow flew out of the forest and landed. It was the giant python just now. At this time, it was already skin and fleshy, and blood were blurred, and she could not live.
"Big brother?" The children of Confucian garden were overjoyed.
"It's Li Zhen. You're back. The leader asked me to pick you up."
In the words, a young man flashed in the woods, dressed as a Confucian, with a crown belt, green shirt hunting, long sleeves, sword eyebrows and star eyes, red lips and white teeth, as if the spirit of scholars in heaven and earth were gathered in it. There was a little outstanding arrogance in the calm elegance. He was worthy of being a son of the Confucian fairy family.
"Congratulations on your great success." The purple-shirted girl took the lead in salute.
"It's just a small progress. It's still too early to be successful in Taoism. Thinking about the forgetful dust of Taiyizong, he passed the weak water disaster five years ago. Today, I don't know if he has survived the fire disaster?"
The purple-shirt girl said, "How can it be so easy? In ten years, the eldest brother will definitely win the first place in one fell swoop."
Li Zhen smiled warmly: "This evil beast dares to make a second place in the Confucian garden, so it's up to your sister."
"Thank you, big brother." The purple-shirted girl's face was happy, and the palm of her hand flashed purple, and the python disappeared.
The children were slightly shocked and were surprised and envious to see Li Zhen and the purple-shirted girl continuously exerting their magical power.
Li Zhen glanced at the children: "Are they the children you found?"
"Exactly, I waited for five people to search thousands of miles, but only found 20." The purple-shirted girl came forward and whispered in Li Zhen's ear.
Li Zhen's eyes were like electricity, and he stopped on the red-faced teenager and the black-faced teenager just now. The two teenagers stood under their eyes and suddenly felt like their whole bodies**, and they couldn't read him at all.
"Let's go. The master and the others are waiting." Li Zhen gave an order, and a goose-sized bead flew out of his long sleeves, which were smooth and brilliant. Suddenly, the dark mountain road was clearly illuminated, and everyone's foot strength could not help but accelerate. When you climb over the hillside and enter the deep valley, it is already dark and the moon is high. One of the ten gates of immortality, the quiet and mysterious Confucian garden is half hidden in the night, but when you see the pavilions and pavilions, they are looming, the ancient trees are towering in the sky, and the pines and cypresses are evergreen. A green brick ancient road leads directly to the Confucian garden. On both sides of the ancient road, the ancient trees are towering and lush. Every other distance, there is a humanoid stone statue standing. Each stone statue is lifelike, with a crown and a sonorous face, or holding a jade gui, or holding a simple book, or holding the four treasures of the study. A pure and vast atmosphere filled the whole mountain and forest. The children stepped on the ancient road and couldn't help suffocating, while the children of the Confucian garden were energetic, like fish returning to the sea and flying nine days.
The disciples of the Confucian garden led the children into the Confucian garden, which was quiet, as if the whole world had fallen into a deep sleep. In the darkness, they could only peep into a corner, simple and elegant, and the fairy spirit was hidden.
"Your brothers and sisters will arrange for you to rest, and you will live here for the time being. Three days later, the gardener will meet you. Whether you can become the children of the Confucian garden depends on your creation."
After Li Zhen's words, he left, and the children were arranged by the purple-shirted girls and others to stay in a three-story row of bamboo buildings. The black-faced teenager and the red-faced teenager were divided into one room.
The next day, it was not until three poles on the sun that the black-faced teenager got up sleepy, and the red-faced teenager had already meditated and practiced.
"Qianyu, you really work hard. If I were the owner of the Confucian garden, I would accept you immediately." The black-faced teenager stretched out and was lazy.
The red-faced teenager Qianyu smiled and said, "Don't be too lazy. I found that the aura of this Confucian garden is much stronger than that of the outside world and is most suitable for cultivation. If you don't work hard now, you will be eliminated in three days. Don't cry."
It turns out that in order to ensure the prosperity of people, all sects of Xiandao will have successors. Every ten years or so, they will go down the mountain to look for children with outstanding qualifications, bring them back to the sect, and accept those who pass the examination will be accepted as disciples, guide practice, and strengthen the linters.
