Guan Liyuan's reputation in the cultivation world can be described as "more praise than criticism"...
Although it is widely rumored that Guan Liyuan is arrogant and disrespectful to Shushan, and even conflicts and bullying, how many human races did Guan Liyuan save along the way when he traveled west? How many demons that caused chaos in the human world did he kill?
And even if some Shushan disciples slandered Guan Liyuan, at the same time, the Penglai disciples always praised "Brother Guan" for his great benevolence and righteousness, and a model for the world... Even many Shushan disciples who have met Guan Liyuan did not say bad things when they mentioned him. Many Taoist
sects have heard about Guan Liyuan's failure to enter the Shushan gate, but not all of them think that Guan Liyuan is unreasonable. There are also many who think that Shushan is too arrogant. However ,
Shushan still has to give face, which is also a respect for Shushan's efforts for more than 500 years.
There may be sects that do not give Shushan face, but Guan Liyuan does not want to try them one by one, so he simply came directly to Luluo Mountain. I believe that the cold master will have a different approach!
This is indeed the case...
When Guan Liyuan arrived at the gate of Green Rose Mountain, he just sang his name, and saw that the originally foggy gate gradually became clear, and two little Taoist children came out.
"Hearing that Guan Daoyou from 'Unblemished' was coming to visit, the head of the sect was overjoyed and sent us to welcome you in." said the little Taoist child.
The entire Green Rose Sect actually only occupies a piece of the "top of the mountain", which is just a Taoist temple... Let the elves and spiritual medicine grow in the foothills, as long as there are no evil monsters, Qing Leng will not care.
As for whether it is a waste of resources?
In fact, Qing Leng is still very kind to the casual cultivators who do not have "land" in the "wealth, companions and law land" - if you want to borrow a place to practice, you only need to join the Green Rose Sect in name, and you don't even need to see the leaders at ordinary times, and you don't have any work tasks. You can get a room as soon as you start working... No, it's a piece of land on the mountainside to open up a cave.
However, due to the conflict between Qing Leng and Shushan, no casual cultivator dared to join in the fun.
As for whether there is anyone who dares to compete with Qing Leng for this Green Rose Mountain?
First of all, fighting is not the theme of the cultivators in the human world. Secondly... With his cold cultivation, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the crown of the human race, but no one dares to "jump" in front of him.
Guan Liyuan, Jingtian and Xuejian walked in and only saw eight or nine wooden houses and three or four brick and tile houses. Those who don't know might think that these houses are not as valuable as the plaque on them.
However, the layout is quite artistic. As far as a Taoist temple is concerned, it seems to be ethereal. Moreover, if you look closely, these wooden houses and tile houses do not look luxurious or grand, but they are all built with spiritual wood and spiritual soil, which is very beneficial for cultivation!
The only one that looks like it is the so-called "Five Spirits Pavilion", which is the main hall of the Green Rose Sect.
Although it looks simple, Guan Liyuan dare not underestimate it - the mountain is not high, but if there are immortals... it is spiritual!
When he came to the hall, he saw an old man with an extremely old appearance, wearing a Taoist robe that was not gorgeous, standing in front of the Five Spirits statue.
The Green Rose Sect has no ancestor, and does not worship the Taoist ancestor, but only worships the Five Spirits!
"Junior Guan Liyuan, I pay my respects to Master Qing Leng." Guan Liyuan bowed.
Xuejian and Jingtian followed suit...
Qing Leng laughed heartily at this time, which was different from his old appearance: "Hahaha, you don't have to be polite, Guan Daoyou, you chased away the Thunder Tiger King in Leizhou and saved the people of a city. From the East China Sea to Shushan, you killed demons and eliminated monsters all the way, and the world has heard about you. I haven't been involved in worldly affairs for a long time, but I have heard a lot about you."
The reason why Qing Leng looks so old is that when he was young, his cultivation was abolished once, and then he was locked up for 60 years. It was luck that he didn't die in the back mountain of Shushan, so his appearance was not as energetic as the Five Elders of Shushan and Shang Fengzi. However,
Qing Leng not only had round eyes, but Guan Liyuan could see that his vitality was extremely abundant. After reaching the state of five qi converging to the origin and obtaining the body of mixed primordial qi, Qing Leng was only half a step away from "immortality" and there was no decline at all!
After Shu Ming ascended to heaven, he still secretly paid attention to the human world, but he did not dare to violate the criminal law of the divine world and interfere privately. When Qing Leng reached the state of unity between heaven and man, he secretly obstructed the divine world from issuing an edict...
One day in heaven is one year on earth. Originally, he wanted to delay Qing Leng for a few days and delay his death. Unexpectedly, Qing Leng soon achieved the body of mixed primordial qi, and there was no possibility of incarnation of the gods, so the divine world's edict naturally could not be issued!
Hearing Qing Leng's praise, Guan Liyuan secretly guessed that Qing Leng probably heard that someone had made Shushan "lose face", so he curiously paid attention to his deeds.
Otherwise, after Qing Leng encountered a big change, his personality was actually not easy to get along with, and he was a complete world-separated sect, and he would not go out even if there was a flood outside - making his Taoist name more worthy of the name.
"How can you be famous all over the world? It's better to be evil all over the world." Guan Liyuan said with a wry smile.
"Not really, not really, extraordinary people do extraordinary things, but most of the people in the world are mediocre, not worth mentioning!" Qing Leng said.
"Senior, you
are too kind." Hearing Guan Liyuan's politeness, Qing Leng's face changed immediately: "I admire you for not being hypocritical in front of Shushan, and I also admire you for fighting the world with a sword, fighting demons and defending the way, and protecting the peace of the human world... And you are not like Shushan, who is disgusting all day long and "contributes to the world"... Could it be that you look down on me?"
Guan Liyuan quickly changed his words and said: "Qing Leng's praise is reasonable, I also think... I am a very good person!"
Qing Leng clapped his hands and laughed. As for Guan Liyuan's mention of the Tiantai later, Qing Leng agreed to it and invited Guan Liyuan to join Luluo Mountain. Guan
Liyuan thought about it for a while and agreed to it-joining Luluo Mountain is no different from being a casual cultivator. Qing Leng's Luluo Sect is just an empty shell with only a few Taoist children, and he has never thought about developing the Luluo Sect, so he won't let Guan Liyuan do anything.
Moreover, after joining Luluo Mountain, Guan Liyuan no longer needs to borrow the Tiantai everywhere, and he can "sit and discuss Taoism" with Qing Leng when he has nothing to do.
Essentially, this is a group that exists to disgust Shushan. Originally, there was only Qing Leng, but after Guan Liyuan, they became a group to disgust!
As for the negative effects of being hated by Shushan, it no longer makes any difference to Guan Liyuan.
"Okay, okay, then I will accept disciples on behalf of the Five Spirits Patriarch, and you and I can call each other brothers in the future! You are a lay disciple, and you don't need a Taoist name. If you really want one, just choose one yourself, hahaha..." Qing Leng looked very pleased.
"Five Spirits Patriarch" is just an abstract concept. Qing Leng no longer recognizes his previous master, the previous head of Shushan, but claims to take the Five Spirits as his master!
Lei Lingshen silently expressed his disdain for this - what right do you have to accept disciples on behalf of the "Five Spirits", old bastard? Do you have any shame?
Qing Leng originally wanted to accept Jingtian as his junior brother, but was stopped by Guan Liyuan - after all, Jingtian had learned the Shushan breathing method taught by Xu Changqing, and it would not sound good for him to join Green Rose Mountain...
This time, Qing Leng was more clear-minded - although he had a grudge against Shushan, this "grudge" did not override his principles.
Of course, this was also because Jingtian was not a Shushan disciple, otherwise he would have been kicked out of Green Rose Mountain by now...
"Then Junior Brother greets Senior Brother, Senior Brother, how are you?" Guan Liyuan saluted formally.
"Junior Brother, how are you." Qing Leng returned the salute. "
Junior Brother is going to pass the Half-Immortal Thunder Tribulation, and Young Friend Jing is going to start from the Seventh Layer of the Strong Wind Tribulation, right?" With Qing Leng's realm, it was normal to see the depth of the two of them. "
Yes, when the auspicious sign of the Half-Immortal appears, the world will know that there is a Half-Immortal in Green Rose Mountain, and I'm afraid there will be a lot more Taoist temples..." Guan Liyuan said, and blinked at Qing Leng.
Qing Leng was stunned for a moment after hearing that, then he smiled and squinted his eyes, and said: "Junior brother, don't just talk when the time comes... When the half-immortal auspicious sign appears, there will be a similar feeling of 'harmony between man and nature'. If you experience it carefully, it will be of great benefit to your future practice!"
There are many Taoist temples in the world that don't care about Qing Leng's business, but if Guan Liyuan announced the news of joining Luoluo Mountain during the "half-immortal auspicious sign", some people would definitely look very interesting!
