Chapter 75: Wudao Peak
Someone who is afraid of even a mere cliff will naturally not have the chance to change his sect. The two disciples who went down the mountain will also lose the chance to become formal disciples and become servants of the Shenhu Xianmen.
After crossing the iron suspension bridge, Chen Luo began to look around the environment of Wudao Peak.
Compared to the bleakness on the other side of the mountain, the environment here is much better. There are trimmed green plants on both sides of the road, and the steps under my feet are much cleaner, as they have been cleaned by a special person and appear spotless. The breeze from the mountains brings a little warmth, and the bridge is like two different worlds.
When he reached the top of the mountain, Chen Luo felt as if he had come to a valley full of birdsong and flowers, and it was not as cold as the top of the mountain at all.
"A new junior fellow apprentice?"
A voice came from above the stairs.
Chen Luo looked up and saw a man in a blue-gray Taoist robe standing in the middle of the road, as if waiting for him. This man was tall and thin, and looked like a poor scholar who had been malnourished for a long time.
"Why are you alone? Were the others thrown out by Uncle Chengfeng? What should we do?" When talking about Xianhe Chengfeng, the young man looked bitter.
It seems that even he doesn't dare to provoke the crane.
Chen Luo stepped forward quickly and bowed to the man.
"Hello, senior."
He didn't know the man's seniority, but he must be polite and it was definitely right to call everyone "senior" when he met them.
"I only accepted a junior brother. How can I report to my master when I go back? If the master remembers it, he will tear me apart!"
The young man's attention was all on the other disciples who had not arrived, and he didn't hear what Chen Luo said at all.
Seeing this, Chen Luo had no choice but to stand aside and wait.
After waiting for a while, about half an incense stick of time later, several more people came over. The female cultivator who had first asked Chen Luo for directions and his two friends were all inside. As for the rest, it seemed that they had really gone down the mountain.
"It's okay."
The young man finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
Although the number of people is still not enough, but with Chen Luo included, they can barely get through.
"Come with me up the mountain. I will arrange accommodation for you first."
The young man was walking in front, introducing himself as he walked.
"My name is Hu Qiudao, you can call me Brother Hu"
Having said that, Hu Qiudao turned his head and glanced at Chen Luo and said something.
"I don't look that old, do I?"
".Not old."
Chen Luo was speechless. He finally understood why Senior Brother Hu ignored him just now. It turned out that he was dissatisfied with the title of "Senior".
"I entered Taoism when I was seven years old, and I have only been practicing for twenty-three years."
Hu Qiudao continued to move forward, muttering a lot of nonsense along the way. At first, Chen Luo and the others were a little in awe of this senior brother, but by the end, their ears were filled with mosquito buzzing and they wanted to cover his mouth with their hands.
The group reached the highest point of Wudao Peak not long after walking.
From below, the peak seems small, but when you actually get up, you will find that the peak is very large. In addition to the main hall in the middle, there are several side halls next to it. On the outermost side is a row of wing rooms, which are built very neatly. There are also some immortal characters and talismans engraved on the surface of the building, which are probably used for dust removal.
"Brother Huang, we have brought all the people back. There are five of them in total!"
After arriving here, Hu Qiudao spoke less.
He stood at the door of the wing room and shouted to the people inside the hut.
squeak!
The wooden door opened.
A man with a haggard face poked his head out of the room, glanced at Chen Luo and others, and showed a dissatisfied expression on his face.
"Why are there so few people?"
“Too little.”
Another voice sounded, but this time it was clear that no one was speaking.
Several new disciples looked around in confusion, and after confirming that only Hu Qiudao and Senior Brother Huang were there, their confusion became even more obvious. It was clearly just a conversation between two people, so why were there three voices coming from it?
However, it was obvious that these two people had no intention of clearing up their confusion.
"The rest of the people were driven away by Uncle Chengfeng. If you are dissatisfied, go find him." Hu Qiudao said innocently.
"Uncle Chengfeng?"
"It's that damn crane again. Sooner or later, I'll pluck its feathers!"
Two more voices were heard, but this time Chen Luo and the others saw clearly that both voices came from Senior Brother Huang.
"Have their accommodations been assigned?" Hu Qiudao seemed to have long been accustomed to Senior Brother Huang's voice and only wanted to complete the task as soon as possible.
"There are plenty of rooms, just find a place to stay."
Senior Brother Huang walked out of the room.
"While Master is free, I will take them to worship a master first."
This time, everyone saw Brother Huang clearly. He was a sloppy middle-aged man. Even from a distance, one could smell the rotten smell on his clothes. The strangest thing was that his right hand was raised, and there was a tiger-headed puppet on his hand. The puppet looked just like a real person, and was still looking at everyone curiously.
"What are you looking at? Have you never seen such a handsome tiger?"
When the newcomers looked over, the tiger puppet in his hand actually opened its mouth and spoke.
Senior Brother Huang's hands moved like a folk magician manipulating a puppet, and the people watching this scene were stunned.
"You'll get used to it. Brother Huang had some problems when he was trying to understand the truth. Now he has some problems with his brain."
"What do you mean by 'strange thing'? You are such a chatterbox."
The tiger-headed puppet immediately retorted, which made Hu Qiudao dissatisfied and he immediately started arguing with him.
The two of them kept arguing as they walked, leaving the people behind them looking confused.
here
Is it really the Shenhu Immortal Gate?
After entering the inner courtyard, there is a long bluestone corridor, which is made of gray square bricks. The walls on both sides are a little yellow. Many places have been eroded by rain, leaving one strange water mark pattern after another.
"You two are from She Country?"
After passing the bluestone corridor, the two people who were arguing in front suddenly stopped fighting. The tiger-head puppet in Senior Brother Huang's right hand looked back at Chen Luo and the others, and suddenly spoke.
"yes."
Chen Luo and the woman next to him replied at the same time. The other three people did not speak. It seemed that they were from the other two countries.
"I am also from She Country. As a fellow countryman, I want to remind you that you must maintain a good state of mind when practicing at Wudao Peak. The practice here may be different from what you think."
"How is it different?" Chen Luo asked.
"Our Wudao Peak has another name in Shenhu Xianmen, called Xinmo Peak."
"Visiting the immortals to gain enlightenment, the inner demons arise!"
Inner demon?
Chen Luo looked at the tiger-headed puppet that was talking to him, then glanced at Senior Brother Huang who didn't even turn his head, and he suddenly understood what was going on.
"You don't have to be afraid. Although the cultivation method of Wudao Peak is easy to cause inner demons, it is very helpful for practicing magic. It takes others half a year or a year to learn magic, but we can learn it in one month at Wudao Peak."
As they were talking, the group passed through the side hall and came into the inner hall.
After entering here, no one spoke and the atmosphere became much more tense.
I saw Senior Brother Huang, who was walking in front, stopped in front of a room and knocked gently three times on the copper ring on the door.
"Master, all the new disciples have been brought here."
About three breaths after the sound, a voice came from inside.
"Come in."
The bronze door creaked open a crack. A puff of white mist escaped from the crack. The people at the door subconsciously took a breath and found that the speed of the spiritual energy in their bodies suddenly increased several times.
Such a rich spiritual energy!
